Chapter 492: Chapter 488: Severing Causality, Cutting off Mundane Ties!
"My Lady!"
In the night sky, the Child Rejuvenation Immortal, with the appearance of a red-clothed youth, pushed away the wailing Flower Hairpin Lady.
One arm transformed into the sharp blade of a mantis, still foolishly trying to fend off the [Dragon and Tiger Double Halberds] wielded by Yellow Dragon Sage.
However, the further one advanced on the path of cultivation, the greater the gap between adjacent realms became.
The [Dharma Primordial Spirit] of Yellow Dragon Sage could not be blocked by anyone, except someone of the same [Dharma Image Realm].
A unique daopattern of blue and white flashed on the blade of the halberd.
In an instant,
The dragon comes with the clouds, the tiger with the wind, combining both to form a complete whole.
"The vast sea boils with bitter strife, the clouds mourn as they meet the dragon and tiger! Break for me!!!"
Rip—!
The force of the wind and clouds turned into a divine blade, savagely cleaving in half anything that stood before the halberds.
Not only did the Child Rejuvenation Immortal’s blade-like arm, which should have been capable of splitting mountains, shatter in an instant, but half of his body was also reduced to ashes.
If this Green Seal Strange Immortal had not long since become half human, half poison worm, ever-changing and able to come and go as wished, that strike might have finished him on the spot.
Seeing this, the remaining ferocious swarm of insects immediately charged towards Yellow Dragon Sage, with colorful toxic fog swiftly shrouding the entire night sky.
Among them, the poisons of [Life Snake God] and [Golden Cicada God] were especially formidable.
Once infected with the venom of the Life Snake, one’s belly would immediately swell with a creature growing three inches long, which upon being poisoned, would take form, turning into either a snake or a flesh borer, wriggling and biting everywhere inside one’s body, with no part untouched.
To make matters worse, external snakes would enter through pores with the wind and bite, attacking both internally and externally, leaving one beyond medical help.
Once afflicted, even those of the same realm would die a gruesome death.
If one were poisoned by the Golden Cicada, their skin would peel off layer by layer, much like a cicada moulting.
With each moulting, the body would shrink and the cultivation would regress until one was reduced to a weak infant, crying miserably until a pitiful death ensued.
Unfortunately, not even the [Golden Cicada God], who had completed the transition to half-step Green Seal, could trouble Yellow Dragon Sage, who had long since formed a world of his own.
As the insect tide faced that unstoppable golden rainbow, they could only explode into dust helplessly, one after another, spilling blood across the sky.
Flower Hairpin Lady, retreating repeatedly, her expression changing numerous times, finally gave up any hope of reclaiming her own lair and leaving unscathed.
She yelled to the Child Rejuvenation Immortal who was also retreating:
"Child, split up and run!"
This intelligent character amongst the Strange Immortals had long recognized the intention of Yellow Dragon Sage.
He wanted to stir up internal strife within the sects. If [Qingtian Righteous Law Path] were uprooted completely, it would benefit the Dragon and Tiger Temple not at all.
A sect crippled by the loss of a leg was a good sect.
Therefore, Flower Hairpin Lady was certain, as long as one of the two Green Seal Strange Immortals perished, Yellow Dragon Sage’s goal would be attained.
He would not bother to exhaust himself hunting down the other one.
At this time, she didn’t need to be faster than this [Dharma Image] superior; she just needed to be faster than... the Child Rejuvenation Immortal, to survive!
The next moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
High above in the sky, streaks of light twisted into existence and then winked out.
In the blink of an eye, only Yellow Dragon Sage, standing aloft in the void, remained.
He clenched the neck of the [Child Rejuvenation Immortal] in his hand, sealing this half-dead Green Seal Strange Immortal completely before casually tossing him into his own [Inner Scene Heaven and Earth].
"Not bad, mission complete.
In a couple of days I’ll have Old Wu make a move, and with the thirteen needles of the Ghost Gate, extract the Child Rejuvenation Immortal’s [Killing Dao Fruit]. This will be another fine [Jade Mansion Thunder Pivot].
I’m sure Taibai, my young friend, will be satisfied with this gift, won’t he?"
He then turned his gaze toward the distance.
After the sixteen [Poison Gods] had been slaughtered and reduced to chaos, only one figure, injured through all five phases, staggered toward the direction of [Ming Jiu Cave Heaven].
A golden and blue dharma light flickered incessantly on its body, as if it would fall back into Yellow Seal at any moment.
It was none other than [Golden Cicada God], who had nearly completed his ascension but was forcibly interrupted by someone else.
"Apart from shortcut techniques like [Spiritual Mountain Ten Witchcraft], the Three Tribulations of heaven, earth, and man are not any special number of tribulations for ordinary magicians during the Green Seal ascension.
Taibai, my young friend, asked me to leave him an opponent to serve as his [Human Tribulation].
A half-step Green Seal like this should be enough to cancel out his tribulation energy, I suppose... right?"
...
Within [Ming Jiu Cave Heaven],
As heavenly thunder and earth fire rumbled forth, in the blink of an eye, the sky cracked with huge crevices appearing amid the tumultuous shaking.
Blinding white lightning traveled down through the cracks, slithering like venomous snakes, and enveloping Wang Yuan and Huang Wu in a blanket attack.
The [Bottomless Worm Cellar] within, relying on the complex network of underground caverns directly connected to the Earth’s core, already comprised the weakest link of the grotto heaven.
Crackle and crack...
As the scent of burning wafted to their nostrils, the ground at their feet shook violently, and a surge of earth fire erupted immediately.
Those left to guard the grotto heaven, at most Yellow Seal disciples and poison worms, how could they withstand the ravages of Green Seal tribulations?
"Help... Aaahhhhh...!"
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Merely the aftershocks of the heavenly thunder and earth fire almost wiped them out completely.
The [Bottomless Worm Cellar], still alive, was burned to a charred ruin. Not to mention next year’s [Jingzhe Immortal Trial] was completely ruined.
Even if Flower Hairpin Lady could regroup, it would be impossible for her to recover to one-tenth of her current strength within the next ten years, or even thirty years.
She could only serve as a piece of fat meat, lying obediently on the chopping board, gradually declining amid the mutual attrition with Manxiang Temple and Yellow Heaven Righteous Dao.
This just confirmed the saying: "If one does not want vengeance to endlessly cycle, cutting the weeds and digging out the roots is for the greater good."
Watching the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, which had been greatly weakened by nine-tenths by Ming Jiu Cave Heaven, Wang Yuan stepped forward and shouted in a low voice,
"Three Realms of the Other Shore, open!"
The enormous Dharma Domain roared into existence, perfectly blocking the aftermath of the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire.
Huang Wu, too, within the second layer of the Dharma Domain—the Ten Thousand Feet of Dust—initiated her Nine Songs, Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Phoenix Coming.
Simultaneously,
taking heaven and earth as the furnace, creation as craftsmanship, yin and yang as charcoal, the transformation of the two quasi Green Seal began at last.
As if thousands of tiny hammers were repeatedly striking and hammering, the two Dharma Domains, each centered on themselves, were being refined smaller and smaller, yet more and more solid.
Without the need to execute Daoist Skill, the couple hand in hand, already left the ground and levitated into the air.
Huang Wu’s ascension was proceeding step by step.
Wang Yuan, however, who was on the path of "Spirit and Body Unification," had no precedent to follow.
"Primordial Great Truth, Five Thunders Venerable. Great Brightness of Taihua, Eight Gates of the Cave Boys. The Five Elders issue commands, there’s nothing hidden in obscurity!
Ascending the Nine Heavens, administering Fei Mountain, subduing rivers and seas, the twelve eternal sources..."
He recited the tomes of Daoist Skill that countless predecessors of the Demon Master Dao had painstakingly pieced together over dozens of generations.
Wang Yuan’s Yin God, which had long been no different from ordinary people, burst forth from the Mud Ball Palace as a streak of divine light.
It then transformed into a brilliant sun and descended back into his heart.
With the power of the Three Realms of the Other Shore continuously contracting, the Yin God began to merge unwaveringly with the Meat Body.
Both the Yin God and the Meat Body were undergoing earth-shattering transformations.
The so-called "Que" within the Earth Que Golden Book is the dwelling of the emperor, where royal authority resides.
The "Earth Que" refers to Yama Golden Palace in the Earthly Yin World, the center of power for the Yin Department.
Cultivating this Heavenly Department Daoist Skill is to cultivate an "Earth Que," commanding countless Yin Officials and Ghost Gods, and to worship one’s Primordial Spirit as an esteemed Immortal and divine being.
In the Red Seal Realm, Wang Yuan had an illusory Five Senses Altar City within him; in the Yellow Seal Mage Realm, the "Triple Treasure Pagodas" emerged.
When that speck of Heart Light transformed by the Yin God descended,
"The Spirit Platform is clear, the Mystical Light is comprehended, the Gate of Mystical Yin is opened, revealing Ghosts and Gods!"
A glimmer of light leapt out within his body. Wherever the light shone, dark space of the Sea of Consciousness lit up, revealing a bright square inch of clear space.
Boom——!
Dawn of a new sun.
While sunlight illuminates heaven and earth, the Heart Light illuminates the Sea of Consciousness.
Layer upon layer of thick black mist melted like ice and snow.
The heavy darkness and mist were nothing more than the various stray thoughts, negative emotions, and the decay, death, and malevolence within him, transformed.
Wherever the Heart Light shone, the body looked like glaze, revealing myriad chambers, jade-like towers and palaces, and celestial maidens’ flowers...
It began to take on some resemblance to the palace of the Immortal Que.
At the same time, all over his body the singular acupoints, dual acupoints, hidden acupoints, and extraordinary acupoints together totaled one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred. As each was illuminated, a star lit up.
Within every star appeared a lofty and grand "Body God," presiding over it.
With each Body God revealed, the Dharma Light around Wang Yuan’s body and the chambers he opened became more stable, and his aura grew more powerful.
With the support of thousands of direct lineage Yin Officials, tens of thousands of Yin Soldiers, and the automatic cultivation machine, the transformation process sped forward.
When the Light of the Spirit finally shone through the bubbling spring,
the solidified Three Realms of the Other Shore and Nine Songs, Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Phoenix Coming retracted entirely back into their bodies.
The sense of dissociation between the little heaven and earth of the human body and this Great Thousand World also grew heavier.
They seemed ready to escape the world and ride the wind at any moment.
The external Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, Earth Fire Tribulation were also gradually dissipating.
However, one by one, crimson threads of causality started to manifest.
This indicated that the test of Tribulation for them was just beginning.
There are three Tribulations for a person: Heaven, Earth, and Man. When heavenly thunder strikes you, that is the Heavenly Tribulation; when earth fire burns you, you burn yourself to ashes, that is the Earth Tribulation.
When people come to kill you, leaving you in a deadly situation, that is the Human Tribulation!
To achieve the Green Seal Sage means the fruit is ripe for picking, creating one’s own heaven and earth thereafter, no longer drifting with the tides, able to take early control of one’s own Fate.
But the causality and the debts you accumulated in the past will inexorably anchor you down, making it difficult to break free.
Thus, there is a saying: "Cut off causality, sever worldly ties!"
Especially for those who have practiced the path until now without eradicating all enemies, they will all come knocking one after the other tangled in causality, and with each cut a piece of Tribulation Energy is removed.
Until the power to transcend within oneself is greater than the causality, one can truly be deemed to have completed the great work.
It was uncertain who they might unexpectedly encounter, or in what form they might arrive, with no chance to evade.
If the Tribulation Energy can’t be eradicated, hiding until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble would be futile.
If the Tribulation Energy can be completely eradicated, the Green Seal can be achieved in the blink of an eye.
This is also the most perilous stage among the three Green Seal Tribulations!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yuan, holding Huang Wu’s hand, stepped out of Ming Jiu Cave Heaven.
Then he suddenly heard a shrill cry of a baby beside his ear:
"Save me! Save me!..."
