âSome things are destined to be irreversible. Those that can be reversed are all illusions.â
Ling Guang no longer had any lingering attachment to the world. He had been imprisoned on Mount Halcyon for 100,000 years, and he had thought through many things.
Ling Guang was like a gust of wind as he appeared silently in front of Si Wuya in the southern pavilion. He removed the red mask on his face, revealing his âuglyâ features. His eyes burned with determination as he looked at Si Wuya and said, âFrom now on, you should wear this mask yourself.â
Before Si Wuya could speak, Ling Guang pushed his hand out, and Si Wuya floated up.
Si Wuya was unable to resist the tyrannical power and could only float helplessly in midair.
Following that, fire began to burn.
âDescendants of the Fire Deity are born to be friends with fire,â Ling Guan said as he appeared in front of Si Wuya and pushed his hand out again. A pair of flaming wings appeared on his back before the fire on his body turned into countless red threads of light and an endless stream of energy surged into Si Wuyaâs body.
âYouâŠâ Si Wuya said. He saw Ling Guangâs body slowly disintegrating, returning to the world. He had no way to make Ling Guang stay.
It was not that Ling Guang could not live, but he had grown tired of everything. He could have used parasitic or possession techniques, but he found them to be an insult to the Fire Deity clan. He had lived for far too long.
Life was something with pondering upon all of oneâs life. Great philosophers talked about the meaning of life all the time, but they were unable to change the fate of those who were dying.
Si Wuya wanted to persuade Ling Guang, but he realized the absurdity of a young man trying to talk about life and its meaning to a deity who had lived for more than 100,000 years. Hence, he chose to remain silent. Just like that, he quietly accepted Ling Guangâs gift.
Ling Guangâs power turned into a river and converged into the open sea. He looked at Si Wuya, who was growing stronger and stronger, with satisfaction. His eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation as he said, âFrom now on, youâre the Fire Deity!â
In the Evil Sky Pavilionâs eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou had already inserted Jian Bingâs divine soul pearl into the blue avatarâs lotus.
He looked at the blue avatar that could not be understood due to its unrestrained nature.
It had to be said that the 100 years of tempering the abyss were very useful and the power of the abyss was too strong. He no longer felt any pain when activating the blue avatarâs Birth Charts. Moreover, with the golden avatar, his foundation was very good and stable.
He had just completely formed the golden avatarâs first light disk, and now, he was activating his blue avatarâs 23rd Birth Chart.
A crisp noise rang in the air.
Lu Zhou saw the divine soul pearl sinking into the lotus seat and waved his hand to bring it out.
Lu Zhou nodded. The activation was entering the next stage.
He rose to his feet. Now that the divine soul pearl had served its purpose, he should find someone to return it.
Lu Zhou sent a voice transmission to Zhu Honggong. When Zhu Honggong came over, he asked, âWhereâs Jiang Aijian?â
âMaster, heâs gone to see the White Emperor,â Zhu Honggong replied.
Initially, Lu Zhou planned to send Zhu Honggong to return the divine soul pearl to Jian Bing. However, Zhu Honggong was not the most cautious, and Mingshi Yin was not around. Hence, Jiang Aijian was the best choice.
Lu Zhou asked, puzzled, âHe hasnât returned?â
Thatâs right,â Zhu Honggong replied.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Zhou said, âAlright, since heâs not here, you can go. This is the divine soul pearl of the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation. Send it back to the ancient ruins.â
Zhu Honggong caught the divine soul pearl Lu Zhou threw out and said, slightly aggrieved, âMaster, Iâm actually quite reliable when it comes to handling matters like thisâŠâ
âAlright, I believe you,â Lu Zhou said.
âI promise to complete the mission!â Zhu Honggong said. He put the divine soul pearl away, turned around, and left the Evil Sky Pavilion for the ancient ruins.
When it was almost the next day, Zhu Honggong arrived at the ancient walls. Since this was his second time here, he was much more familiar with his way around.
The members of the Nihilist Congregation respectfully welcomed him and led him to the meeting hall.
As soon as Jian Bing received the news, he hurried over to the meeting hall.
The three cult leaders were the same.
After Zhu Honggong placed the divine soul pearl in Jian Bingâs hand, he said, âMy master ordered me to return this to you.â
Now that the divine soul pearl was returned to him, Jian Bing was so happy and grateful that he began to shed tears. He said, âThe Unholy One is truly great. Iâm so ashamed of myselfâŠâ
Zhu Honggong looked at Jian Bing and said with a hint of pride, âThatâs only natural!â
Jian Bing wiped his tears away and said to Zhu Honggong with a smile, âBrother, are you really the Unholy Oneâs disciple?â
âOf course! I brought you the divine soul pearl, didnât I? How can it be false?â Zhu Honggong said.
âYou have a point,â Jian Bing said. Then, he moved to stand next to Zhu Honggong and placed his arms around Zhu Honggongâs shoulder before he continued to say, âBrother, itâs fate! Weâre fated!â
âLet go! Let go! I donât like men! You pervert!â Zhu Honggong protested as he pushed Jian Bing away with all his might.
Jian Bing was not angry at all. Instead, he said, âI canât help it, I canât help it. When I see an outstanding talent, I canât control my emotions. Please forgive me!â
Zhu Honggong was amused. âYour flattery is not badâŠâ
Jian Bing frowned and said seriously, â How can that be? Flattery is usually lies, but what I said is the truth! You canât confuse the two!â
Zhu Honggong widened his eyes and said, âYouâre right!â
âThe Cult Master is right,â the three cult leaders echoed.
Then, Jian Bing asked in a low voice, âHowâs the Unholy One recently?â
âBrother, in the future, you have to put in a good word for me in front of Lord Unholy One,â Jian Bing said.
The three sect leaders echoed again, âThatâs right, put in a good word!â
âAlright, alright. Ah, I was tied up last time so my arms and legs are still sore,â Zhu Honggong said as he touched his shoulder with an expression of discomfort on his face.
Jian Bing waved his hand immediately and said in a deep voice, âWhat are you waiting for?â
The three cult leaders understood and immediately hammered Zhu Honggongâs shoulders and legs.
On the eastern Lost Island.
Bai Zhaoju and Jiang Aijian were chatting happily.
âQi Sheng, itâs been a while since you returned to the Lost Island. I really wish you can stay a few days,â Bai Zhaoju said.
Jiang Aijian sighed and said, âYour Majesty, thereâs no need to be like this. Itâs not difficult to come here from the Great Void. In the future, Iâll visit more often.â
âThat would be great,â Bai Zhaoju said. After a moment, he continued to say, âI followed your plan and took care of Ye Tianxin and Zhao Yue. Now that theyâve become commanders, are you confident theyâll be able to comprehend the Great Dao?â
Jiang Aijian replied, âIf Iâm not confident, why would I let them become commanders?â
Bai Zhaoju nodded and sighed in relief. Then, he thought about it for a moment before he asked solemnly, âQi Sheng, on account of me saving your life, tell me honestly⊠Whatâs your purpose for doing all these things?â
Jiang Aijian was stunned. He did not expect this question from Bai Zhaoju. He wondered how Si Wuya would answer this question if Si Wuya were here. After a moment, he said, âThe Great Void will eventually collapse.â
Bai Zhaoju was not surprised. Instead, he said with a sigh, âThe Unholy One really doesnât give upâŠâ
At this moment, Jiang Aijian sensed movementsfrom one of his talismans. He brought it out and lit it up.
A projection appeared in front of the duo immediately.
Upon seeing the person in projection, Jiang Aijian asked with a smile, âLady Hua, whatâs the matter?â
Hua Zhenghong looked at Bai Zhaoju, who was next to Qi Sheng, before she said, âHoly Maiden Xihe said that you went to the ancient ruins to help her look for the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. However, many days have passed since then, and youâve yet to return. As it turns out, youâre with the White Emperor.â
âThe White Emperor has done me a great favor. Why canât I visit the Lost Island?â Jiang Aijian asked.
âOf course, you can. However, the Heaven Suppressing Pestle is of great importance.You should bring it back soon. Moreover, since the commanders of the ten halls have been chosen, you should hurry up and let them comprehend the Great DaoâŠâ
Jiang Aijian said, âThereâs no need to be anxious. I know what to do. As the saying goes, âHaste makes wasteâ.â
âIâve already conveyed the Great Emperorâs words. Please take care,â Hua Zhenghong said.
âPlease convey my message to the Great Emperor. Iâll complete my task before the sky collapsesâŠâ
Hua Zhenghong only frowned and did not say anything else. With a wave of her hand, the projection disappeared.
Bai Zhaoju asked with a faint smile, âArenât you afraid of Hua Zhenghong?â
Jiang Aijian said disapprovingly, âAlthough sheâs a supreme being, it doesnât mean that I have to be afraid of her.â
Bai Zhaoju looked at the sea and shook his head as he said, âThatâs because you donât understand herâŠâ
âHua Zhenghong was once a proud student of the Unholy One. Sheâs very unpredictable. Even the Unholy One couldnât control her back then. Do you think Ming Xin keeps her by his side because of her strength alone?â Bai Zhaoju asked.
âOh? Iâd like to hear more.â
