Chapter 2426 Where in life do we not meet each other
Zhuque was extremely drowsy, his eyelids feeling like they were filled with lead. He struggled against sleepiness, and each time he lifted his eyelids, it was a great effort, as if he had used up all his strength. Zhuque's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, his pupils became unfocused, and Qin Sang's reflection in his eyes became fragmented. His eyes slowly sank into dark slits.
‘Wow! ’
Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings forcefully, its last struggle. In the instant its head drooped heavily, it was completely defeated and fell headlong to the ground.
Its cultivation level is not as high as that of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly. It has survived until now thanks to the Climbing Vine. In order to use its supernatural powers, it and the Climbing Vine both withered and were unable to resist the invasion of the power of the Void.
Qin Sang hurriedly caught the Vermilion Bird and placed it into the small cave. His face was solemn. Besides the Ghostly Great Sage, there was another terrible threat here, namely the Void!
Suzaku and the others have already begun to be assimilated by Guixu. If they stay here for too long, even if they eventually leave Guixu, they will be left with irreparable damage. They will lose not only their memories, but also their personalities.
But now is not the time to consider these issues; first, we must get rid of the Ghostly Great Sage!
The voice of the Great Sage of Ghostly Concealment continued to come in, offering tempting conditions and appearing very sincere.
Qin Sang did not respond, but continued to retreat until she transformed into lightning and fled in a direction different from the tortoise shell.
……
"Fellow?"
Ghostly Great Sage frowned.
He repeatedly tried to persuade them with kind words, took the initiative to back down, and even offered to swear an oath to prove that he would give most of the benefits to the other party, but all he got in return was silence.
There was no response from inside.
Ghostly Great Sage frowned, his anger rising. He sneered inwardly, thinking that he had wanted to avoid some trouble so as not to delay important matters. Did the other party really think he was afraid of him?
"I have tried to persuade you with kind words, but you are stubborn and self-willed. Since that is the case, I have no choice but to use force!"
The Great Sage of Ghostly Concealment roared in anger.
The other party seemed fearless, and not knowing their identity was Ghostly Great Sage's biggest concern. But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. He had to take the risk no matter what!
……
'boom! ’
Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat; the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden had made his move so quickly.
The Vermilion Bird's bluff is meaningless; it poses no real threat and is unlikely to intimidate a dignified demon saint. However, this move should make the Great Sage Ghostly Hide wary, buying him some more time.
The pearl in my palm trembled wildly.
Each vibration of the clam shell transmitted to the pearl, like water thrown into a lake with a boulder, causing information hidden beneath the surface to surge. However, this information was extremely complex and chaotic, and Qin Sang couldn't sort it out for the time being, unsure how to utilize the pearl.
However, Qin Sang still managed to grasp something useful. He clasped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then poured his true essence into the pearl.
In an instant, the surrounding darkness deepened, and undercurrents surged in the void. Then, with each tremor of the clam shell, all the energy in the void shattered.
Qin Sang tried her best to conceal it, but she couldn't be sure that she could hide it from the Demon Saint's discerning eyes. This move should be able to erase the traces she left behind.
He did not immediately hide in the small cave. Ziwei Tongzi once said that the Dao Beacon Gate could only deceive ordinary demon saints.
There was a vast chasm between the Demon King and the Demon Saint. He didn't know what the Demon Saint's world was like, nor did he know how high the Ghostly Hidden Great Saint's cultivation level was. If he were discovered, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar. Therefore, he dared not hide in the small cave near the entrance. He had to hide as far away as possible before the Ghostly Hidden Great Saint entered.
"It would be best to find a place that is already chaotic, which would make it easier to conceal the Beacon Gate..."
But this is an endless void, and it was unusually calm before the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout made his move. Where can you find such a place?
While pondering, Qin Sang used all her strength to fly away.
……
Deep in the void.
When the vibrations from the clam shell reached this point, they became very weak. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared, just a faint spot, like a tiny firefly, but the only source of light in the darkness, making it exceptionally conspicuous.
After this point of light appeared, another point of light appeared immediately, and then points of light appeared one after another around it.
More and more points of light appeared, like a swarm of motionless insects, flickering slightly.
Suddenly, all the points of light began to move, converging towards the center, and after a moment they formed a human-shaped outline.
The 'person' made of dots of light was of medium size and stood there motionless. After a while, one of its fingers suddenly twitched, and then it took a step forward and instantly came to life!
The faint light faded, revealing a living person, though the body appeared slightly illusory. However, the details of the body quickly filled in, and facial features emerged, revealing the person fishing on the iceberg.
"Finally in..."
The man glanced around and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the Ruins of Return! So that's how it is. It's used to suppress evil spirits. No wonder! No wonder!"
He cast a hand seal, waited a moment, frowned slightly, and then seemed to discover something, his face showing surprise.
The next moment, Qin Sang, who was burying his head in his work and trying to escape, suddenly heard a soft laugh, "Truly, life is full of unexpected encounters!"
The tremors continued, and the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout was still fiercely attacking the clam shell. Qin Sang should have been the only one here, but suddenly another person's voice rang out beside her, which was extremely frightening.
"who!"
Qin Sang's hair stood on end, and cold sweat broke out all over her body. Then, she saw a flash of light ahead, and a person walked out.
Qin Sang tensed up, ready to unleash the power of Mount Daiyu at any moment. However, reason told her that the fact that the other party was able to appear here and that she only noticed them after they made a sound meant that their cultivation level was far superior to hers.
At that moment, Qin Sang was almost about to ask Ziwei Tongzi for help, but she saw an unexpected person.
"Master Qingfeng, how have you been?"
The other person looked at Qin Sang with a smile. His appearance and demeanor were very similar to an old friend. It was Qingyuan!
Back then, Qin Sang was sent out of the talisman world by Zhang Tianshi. When he first entered the spirit world, he descended to the mortal realm to seek enlightenment. He met Qingyuan, who was disguised as a storyteller. From Qingyuan, he learned what the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater Vehicle were. Qingyuan also taught him the art of observing thunder in the palm of his hand.
He had promised Qingyuan that he would pass on a message to the Dao Court, but unfortunately the Dao Court has gone into seclusion and has not yet fulfilled his promise.
In Qin Sang's eyes, Qingyuan was full of mystery, so she remembered him vividly and recognized him immediately even after many years apart.
"Fellow Daoist Qing... Qingyuan?"
Qin Sang was surprised and hesitated, because it was too unexpected. Since falling into this world, he had only seen demon cultivators. How could Qingyuan appear here?
Without the jade Buddha, Qin Sang might have thought she had entered a hallucination. However, recalling Qingyuan, whom she had only met once, while in a hallucination was somewhat absurd.
"Haha, Daoist Master still remembers me! It's time for a big toast between old friends!"
Qingyuan clapped his hands and laughed heartily, his joy evident on his face.
Qin Sang's heart tightened. He and Qingyuan had some acquaintance, but it was nothing more than a acquaintance, not a close friendship. This man was easygoing and not a cruel person, but times had changed, could he still be the same as before?
With a thought, Qin Sang put away the immortal mountain and supernatural powers, bowed respectfully, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, how could you..."
He glanced around.
Qingyuan knew what he wanted to ask and said, "I have come because of a promise..."
Before the words were finished, the void trembled violently.
Qin Sang knew something was wrong; the Ghostly Great Sage had been relentlessly attacking the clam shell, and now it was finally about to get in.
Qingyuan raised his head slightly, his gaze passing over Qin Sang, as if piercing through the darkness to see the scene at the entrance. "Does the Daoist priest have a grudge against that person outside?"
Qin Sang nodded, saying helplessly, "I was careless and got cornered here by him."
"How dare these uninvited guests disturb our old friends' reunion!" Qingyuan shook his head, his tone indifferent, seemingly not taking the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden seriously. With a wave of his hand, a clear light instantly spread, enveloping them, and then gradually leading them into the darkness.
Qin Sang stood still, silently watching Qingyuan's actions, without attempting to hide in the small cave.
He had realized from the beginning that Qingyuan was no ordinary person, but now it seems that his imagination was not rich enough and he underestimated his strength.
……
'boom! ’
A surge of blood suddenly erupted from the entrance, followed by a continuous stream of blood-red light that transformed the entire void into a sea of blood.
‘Wow! ’
The sea of blood churned, and the figures of the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout and the demons were washed out one after another by the blood waves.
The Great Sage Ghostly Hidden stood on the crest of a wave, glanced around, and was somewhat surprised to find that there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Cowardless rat!"
"Great Sage Ghostly Hideout said coldly."
He was worried about being attacked while crossing the river, so he had to be distracted to defend against the other party's attack. However, he wasted his energy and nothing happened. The guy who kept threatening him had disappeared.
What's even more infuriating is that he was almost intimidated by the other party.
Is the other party bluffing, or do they have something more important to do?
The Great Sage Ghostly Retreat took out the transparent tortoise shell and focused his senses, discovering that after entering the clam shell, the transparent tortoise shell became completely silent. He confirmed repeatedly that it wasn't that he couldn't see through it, but rather that the transparent tortoise shell could only guide subsequent people into the clam shell.
The Great Sage of Repentance left nothing here.
"Could it be that Chanxin found nothing here back then and returned empty-handed? Or perhaps, as long as the descendants of Xuanwu can enter, there is no need for guidance?"
Ghostly Great Sage didn't know much about the life of Repentant Great Sage. He only knew that Repentant Great Sage was unwilling to be controlled by the Demon Seed and later chose to betray the Demon Realm, but in the end he was unable to get rid of the Demon Seed and died with resentment.
Many secrets were lost and buried underground with the Great Sage of Repentance, and no one knows what he discovered there.
As he sensed the transparent tortoise shell, his divine sense spread out in the void, and the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout's expression shifted.
Deep within the void, the azure phoenix formed from lightning continued its tireless flight, its gaze fixed on a single direction, now teetering on the brink of exhaustion. Suddenly, a crimson light filled the air before it, and a pool of blood rose up, blocking its path. The blood pool was clearly strange, but the azure phoenix, lacking sentience, plunged into it without looking back, only to be swallowed by the crimson light.
A moment later, the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout emerged from the blood pool, clutching an object in his hand—a tortoise shell.
The two tortoise shells were finally reunited, confirming the earlier speculation of the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout: they were both tokens left behind by the Great Sage Repentance.
Ghostly Great Sage's eyes revealed murderous intent. The opponent deliberately threw out the tortoise shell to mislead him, which was superfluous and exposed the opponent's lack of confidence and fear of facing him directly.
Is the other party a demon saint or not? If so, why would a demon saint need to resort to such methods?
The more Ghostly Great Sage thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. His divine sense suddenly erupted, and a terrifying pressure swept in all directions!
……
In the moonlight, Qin Sang suddenly sensed something, and then a strange divine sense swept over her.
"Great Sage Ghostly Hideout! You're here so fast!"
Qin Sang's heart tightened as she noticed subtle ripples on Qinghui's surface. However, the divine sense did not stop and swept past them without finding them.
"How did the Taoist priest get in?"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's question, Qin Sang snapped out of her thoughts and replied with a complex tone, "Forgive my rudeness, but should I address you as Senior Qingyuan?"
Qingyuan smiled and shook his head. "When we first met, you were a storyteller in a teahouse, and I was a Taoist priest in a mountain temple. We were acquainted in humble beginnings. Why could you call me 'fellow Taoist' back then, but not now?"
Seeing that Qingyuan's words were truly from the heart, Qin Sang smiled and said, "Then this humble Taoist will respectfully accept your offer! I wonder what you are referring to, friend? If it is this Guixu, then it relies on it..."
As she spoke, Qin Sang raised the pearl in her hand and said, "If you are referring to this small world, that's a long story."
Qingyuan glanced at the pearl, nodded, and asked curiously, "If you don't mind, Daoist, why don't you tell me about it?"
Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am still completely bewildered and don't know how I ended up here. Roughly speaking, it's been several hundred years. I entered a secret realm in search of treasure, but was eventually chased and thrown out in a moment of crisis. When I woke up, I found myself trapped in an icy vortex. It took me a full three hundred years to escape from the vortex. Then I learned that this place was actually a demon realm, with countless powerful demons, but no humans. I assumed I had fallen into a wild demon domain. But as I learned more about this place, I realized that I might no longer be in the spirit realm. During this time, I met several fellow Daoists, experienced several twists and turns, and ended up here by a twist of fate..."
He was thrown here, presumably as a result of the combined effects of the power of the Jianmu tree and the divine power of the Void Butterfly. This matter involves too many secrets, so Qin Sang deliberately obscured his experiences before entering and focused on describing his experiences after entering this realm.
Fortunately, Qingyuan did not delve into the matter, and pondered, "So this is what this world looks like, but it makes sense... It seems that the boundary wall is loose and the seal is unstable, and the Daoist happened to fall in by chance."
"Boundary wall?"
I remember Master Ning once said that in the spirit realm, the true boundary was actually called the Earth Membrane. After the great war between the two realms, the Jade Emperor repaired the Earth Membrane, separating the two realms, and the barrier that was forged was then called the boundary wall.
Is this boundary located near a boundary wall?
Qin Sang recalled her experience in the Arctic ice field. This world is so close to the Demon Realm, no wonder there is true demonic energy here.
Also, judging from Qingyuan's tone, he didn't know anything about this world before. So where did he come from?
Qingyuan noticed Qin Sang's expression and sighed, "Daoist Master believes this is a minor world, which is both right and wrong! This world is actually part of the boundary wall, and the boundary wall has been damaged and is currently collapsing. As a result, the seals in various places are loosening, and this world will reappear in the world. In the future, such things will probably happen more and more often..."
