1048 See You Again, Immortal Luya (1/2)
In Jade Palace, the lotuses were in bud. Meng Qi was sitting silently for quite some time when his body suddenly vanished. He broke open the barriers, descended into the World of Gods, and reached the palace of the Qi Kingdom.
When he was just getting close to the entrance, the familiar voice of Duke Huan of Qi transmitted through Meng Qi's ears, ”We've not seen each other for only two years or so and you made it to the state of Earth Fairy. Even the immortals during the ancient times were not as good as you.”
The Restrictive Spell of Silence was released, Meng Qi stepped forward leisurely. He arrived at the room of silence and saw Martial Uncle Xiao Bai whose eyebrows and beards were all white but still energetic. He laughed as he said, ”Hasn't Martial Uncle also mended the roots and perfected the Jade Pure Premier Body, broke through the restraints of Heaven and Earth and achieved the state of Earth Fairy?”
”Oh boy, not that you didn't know how many years it took for me to break through,” the Duke Huan of Qi lamented in a taunting tone.
He did not have the Premier Golden Stamp, the General Principles of Dharmakaya, and the Corresponding Nine Seals. As the eldest one among the group of six, his cultivation speed of the Dharmakaya was much slower than the other five of them. Knowing that very little time was left for him, and the state of Earth Fairy was too far to reach, he was very anxious. He then met Meng Qi, and luck started to turn in his favor. Not only had he prolonged his lifespan, he also got the General Principles. He cultivated the Kai Tian Seal, the Four Elephants Seal, and the Yuan Xin Seal, and possessed skills that were not any weaker than the Kunlun Twelve Fairies.
He was always grateful for this, and at the same time, he also noticed that the limits at the World of Gods had been gradually weakened.
”It was good to experience happiness after bitterness,” Meng Qi said with a smile on his face, as if he was back to his house, sitting down casually.
The Duke Huan of Qi snorted, ”I wouldn't consider myself as having a hard time in the past. I was an emperor who dominated the world, enjoyed the unrivaled beauty and the unscrupulous luxury. I was much better off than you. It is just that I no longer prioritize these enjoyments now, and wish to cleanse and cultivate my heart and temperament, to become a real Taoist.”
But pitily enough, the Jade Pure Premier Body bore more weight, losing the initial chaoticity of the Real Premier Body. So it could not be used to cultivate the Top of the Nine Seals and the Wu'Ji Seal, unless he vanished his Dharmakaya voluntarily, and started all over again from the beginning.
Better off than you, better off than you… Duke Huan of Qi's words were like sharp blades, piercing through Meng Qi's heart. He laughed awkwardly, ”As a martial nephew, I have been ambitious for a long time, how could the riches and honors in the world possibly waver my will?”
After finishing his words, he quickly changed the topic of conversation. The auspicious clouds appeared and chaos shrouded the room of silence, ”I am here to ask for a favor, Martial Uncle.”
Dim and dark, excluding the outside world, Duke Huan of Qi was shrewd enough to know that it was a serious matter, hence, he asked seriously, ”What is it?”
”I would like to ask Martial Uncle to bring along the Holy Whip to give us a hand.” Meng Qi revealed his main objective, and went on to explain in detail, ”The World of Gods were severed by the Patriarch in the past from the River of History in the Real World by opening the root of time through Great Power and Great Medium, which explained the saying of returning among the Golden Fairies. Returning meant going back to the Real World. Martial Uncle was originally from the Real World, you fell into the Six Dao of Samsara and came to the World of Gods because of the fight between the Jade Palace and the Devil Buddha…”
He wanted to borrow the Holy Whip so that the connection between this treasure and the List of Deification would provide him a chance to snatch the list from Immortal Luya, freed Little Foodie and Zhao Laowu, and rescued the real spirit of Senior Chonghe. However, Immortal Luya, with the title of Dao Emperor, was definitely not someone to be underestimated. Even if he could be sealed and suppressed, he was no ordinary opponent. Therefore, Meng Qi thought it was his duty to explain the ins and outs to Duke Huan of Qi when he wished to invite him to join high-risk operations like this, and to leave the final decision to Duke Huan of Qi himself.
The Duke was going through a tidal surge of emotions as he listened to Meng Qi. Every word of Meng Qi was like an exploding bomb, that overturned his previous perceptions, causing him not being able to hold back his consternation.
How did he know about all these secrets?
The World of Gods turned out to be a derivative of part of the Real World History. No wonder lots of the Golden Fairies returned!”
Many doubts were cleared, and affairs concerning the Devil Buddha and the Six Dao of Samsara became clear, too. Duke Huan of Qi could not help but sighed, ”The final catastrophe has come, and all sorts of bad characters pitched in.”
”After that, I met Immortal Qing Yuan,” Meng Qi mentioned his meeting with Yang Jian.
”Immortal Qing Yuan,” Duke Huan of Qi slightly nodded and froze suddenly. ”What did you just say? Immortal Qing Yuan? He is still alive?”
This is the most outstanding figure in the third generation of the Jade Palace, a mighty person that had been masterful since the Era of Deification!
The experience of Su Meng really makes one lament his littleness before the vast ocean!
”And properly alive!” In terms of Yang Jian, Meng Qi really did not want to talk more, so he turned the topic by saying, ”The root of the Six Dao of Samsara is the Seal of Samsara and for the List of Deification, few of my friends were on the list.”
The meaning of being on the list was crystal clear to Duke Huan of Qi who was born and raised in a World of Gods, there was no need for Meng Qi to explain. He slowly nodded as he said, ”So, do you want to borrow the Holy Whip to snatch away the List of Deification with the help of the karma link? Which mighty people is holding the List of Deification?”
”Luya, the Dao Emperor,” Meng Qi finally said his name. The chaotic dimness and karma obstructed the induction.
”Luya, the Dao Emperor?” Duke Huan of Qi frowned, ”According to my ancestors, he should have been suppressed by the Patriarchs.”
Immortal Luya was suppressed by the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi? Meng Qi was shocked. He had been suspecting that Immortal Luya was sealed and suppressed, which was why he could only show his power with the help of the Immortal Flying Blade, but he never thought that he was suppressed by the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi!”
No wonder he said that he had personal feelings against the Yuanshi...
But this is more than just personal feelings!
Being suppressed for years, missing the best timing to map out the plan, and even being scoured by time, making him unable to maintain his best condition. It would not even be an exaggeration to say that he had vendettas with the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi for stopping him from proving the essence of Taoism. It was quite dubious for him to discuss every wrong has its cause and every debt has its collector, and no innocents shall be involved. He might be trying to hide his malicious motives.
Burying his thoughts, this strengthened Meng Qi's will to get the List of Deification. Immortal Luya might already be prepared and would most probably turn against him when the third task was completed. Moreover, the third task was coupled with enormous danger.
”Luya, the Dao Emperor that I saw, was the manifestation that appeared by relying on the Immortal Flying Blade with a slight power used,” Meng Qi verified the Duke Huan of Qi's opinion.
