Chapter 460 Primordial Spirit Retracted into the Niwan (2)
“At first, Jiang Hengxia seemed to not want to fight the Holy Son because her realm was not stable. She chose to avoid him many times. During this period, she exposed a treasure that could instantly teleport her far away.
The Holy Son has two greatest hobbies in his life, which are collecting powerful cultivation techniques and treasures. Jiang Hengxia alone occupied both, so she definitely won’t be let off.
Next, the Holy Son released the news that Jiang Hengxia had stolen his treasure and wanted all the forces related to the Longevity Divine Mountain to pay attention to her whereabouts.
In the end, a battle erupted in the Green Stone Wasteland. The Holy Son was killed by Jiang Hengxia, and Jiang Hengxia was also hunted down by the Longevity Divine Mountain. From then on, she disappeared without a trace. This, this is what I know.”
After saying that, he lowered his head nervously, worried that Cui Heng was not satisfied with this answer.
After Cui Heng heard this, he was silent for a moment before asking, “Did you see the final battle end with your own eyes?”
“Yes, yes.” Chang Yongxin nodded and hurriedly said, “But I definitely did not help. This was requested by the Holy Son. He wants to take action himself.”
“Did anything unusual happen after the Holy Son of the Longevity Divine Mountain was killed?” Cui Heng asked in a low voice.
“Unusual?” Chang Yongxin looked puzzled. He began to recall carefully and suddenly raised his eyebrows. “After Jiang Hengxia killed the Holy Son, she even attacked the empty space.
Then, she left as if she was chasing after something. I didn’t think there was any problem before, but now that you say that there’s something unusual, this should be the strangest thing after that battle.”
“Empty space?” Cui Heng frowned slightly. A thought flashed through his mind as he asked from a different angle, “Did the Holy Son of the Longevity Divine Mountain say or do anything before he was killed?”
“He did.” Chang Yongxin hurriedly nodded and said, “Before the Holy Son was killed, he cursed Jiang Hengxia in despair and said that he wanted to fuse with the Scarlet Calamity and destroy her body and soul.”
“The Longevity Divine Mountain has a way to fuse itself into the Scarlet Calamity?” Cui Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly. This Scarlet Calamity was the power of the Outer World corrosion.
“It should be just a simple curse, but it’s indeed possible…” Chang Yongxin said uncertainly, “Senior, I once heard a rumor that some ancient sects and Immortal orthodoxies are studying how to transform the power of the Scarlet Calamity.
The goal is to transform the destructive power of the Scarlet Calamity into a power that can be controlled and turn it into a tool to destroy the Scarlet Calamity. Perhaps it’s already effective. Perhaps the Holy Son used similar methods?”
“Convert the power of the Scarlet Calamity?” Cui Heng sneered when he heard this. He was basically certain now that the ancient sect, the Longevity Divine Mountain, should have already sided with the Outer World.
The scarlet light contained the power of the Outer World, a Great Dao and laws that were completely different from this Star Field.
Therefore, it was impossible for the power of the scarlet light to be converted into the power of this Star Field.
This was something that had already been confirmed at the source.
As long as one had stepped into the Heaven Gate realm, they would definitely know this.
However, although it could not be converted and used, it could be replaced.
In other words, letting the Great Dao laws of the Outer World take the initiative to pollute, and transform into an Outer World creature.
This way, he could mobilize the power of the scarlet light.
The Longevity Divine Mountain and the few forces that had threatened to study the power of the Scarlet Calamity were most likely already doing so.
“As expected, it’s unlikely that the corrosion of 500,000 years is only limited to the Door of Heaven.” Cui Heng thought to himself, “Although the corrosion doesn’t appear on the surface, it has actually long entered the higher-ups of the Heaven Realm.
If that’s the case, can I deepen my communication with the Heaven Realm by destroying these ancient sects and Immortal orthodoxies that have already been contaminated?
After all, this can be considered as removing the corrosion and pollution of the Heaven Realm. It seems that I can give it a try. It just so happens that I can start from the Longevity Divine Mountain to resolve the Scarlet Calamity.”
After sorting out his thoughts, he looked at Chang Yongxin and Jing Xiangzhen and smiled. “You can leave.”
“What?!”
The two of them revealed expressions of disbelief when they heard this. They almost suspected that they were hallucinating. He actually let them go just like that? And not kill them?
Why?!
However, they did not dare to ask why, nor did they want to.
After obtaining permission, they immediately left the capital of the Wood Nation and left the Green Stone Wasteland at an extremely fast speed.
“Senior Brother, no one is really chasing after us.” Jing Xiangzhen was very surprised, and his face revealed an uncontrollable joy.
“I think I know his goal.” Chang Yongxin’s expression was sad as he sighed and said, “Let’s go to the Longevity Divine Mountain.”
“…” Jing Xiangzhen fell silent when he heard this. The smile on his face froze. He also understood. “So that’s how it is. Is he certain that we will go to the Longevity Divine Mountain to ask for help?”
“If we don’t go to the Longevity Divine Mountain, where else can we go?” Chang Yongxin asked. “Hide in the mountains and old forests and struggle at death’s door? It won’t be long before the news reaches the Longevity Divine Mountain. At that time, we will still be found.”
“At that time, the Divine Mountain will still punish us for not reporting this matter. We have no choice.” Jing Xiangzhen looked back in the direction of the capital of the Wood Nation and said with a bitter expression, “That person… how strong is he? Is he trying to challenge the entire Longevity Divine Mountain alone?”
“Challenge the entire Longevity Divine Mountain?” Chang Yongxin recalled Cui Heng’s previous expression and shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s more than that. However, this is not something we should care about.
This is something that only the Venerables and Masters above the Heavenly God Realm can handle. You and I can just go to the Longevity Divine Mountain to complain and report the situation truthfully.
“In such a battle, it’s our greatest luck to be able to survive.”
In the palace in the capital of the Wood Nation.
Zheng Nanxun listened to Cui Heng and Chang Yongxin’s conversation.
After Cui Heng let Chang Yongxin and Jing Xiangzhen go, she understood Cui Heng’s intentions.
“Grandmaster, do you want to subdue the Longevity Divine Mountain in one fell swoop?” Zheng Nanxun asked.
“What the Longevity Divine Mountain has done is destined to destroy them.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “It can be considered a test.”
“Can I contribute?” Zheng Nanxun asked. “Your cultivation is still slightly insufficient. Go and help Qingshu and the others preach first.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “This can also add to the effort to destroy the Longevity Divine Mountain.”
“Yes, Ancestral Grandmaster!” Zheng Nanxun nodded. Although she did not understand what preaching had to do with destroying the Longevity Divine Mountain, Ancestral Grandmaster was definitely right.
“Hui Shi.” Cui Heng looked to the other side.
“Sir, please instruct me.” Hui Shi bowed.
“Follow Jing Xiangzhen and Chang Yongxin and investigate the truth about the Longevity Divine Mountain,” Cui Heng said.
“Yes, Sir.” Hui Shi cupped his hands and bowed.
“Next, I’ll enter seclusion for a period of time.” Cui Heng said to Zheng Nanxun, “However, if you encounter any situations that can’t be resolved when you’re preaching, you can look for me.”
After this period of investigation, his understanding of the Heaven Realm had deepened a lot.
This naturally allowed his communication with the Heaven Realm to become deeper, and the speed at which his cultivation realm automatically increased greatly.
Although he was still at the Early-stage Soul Formation realm now, compared to when he first broke through, he had already undergone a tremendous change. He needed to carefully digest the improvement during this period of time.
After Hui Shi and Zheng Nanxun left, Cui Heng returned to the Grotto-Heaven and entered the Dao Palace.
He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his Essence Soul was retracted into his Niwan Palace.
In the Niwan Palace, his Essence Soul sat at an endless height.
This originally contained the light and shadow of a boundless starry sky. Although there were countless stars, it was still not realistic enough.
Now, it was much more corporeal.
Cui Heng could even directly materialize the entire galaxy in the Niwan Palace into reality with a huge starry sky.
Then, his perception sank from the Niwan Palace to his entire body.
He began to carefully comprehend the changes in the acupoints in his body.
