Chapter 277 - Celebration (1/2)
“Boom!”
The Broken Sword Mountain kept tumbling. The fissured rocks slowly rose, and then were disintegrated into broken bits by even more powerful forces.
“Enough. You can stop.” Zi Yuxiao transmitted her voice to him.
She only needed to see a little of his power to know his overall strength.
“Whoosh!”
The talismanic words in Wang Bugui’s eyes vanished. His golden pupils returned to normal. The aura and Tao principles surrounding him completely disappeared. At the same time, he was controlling the will of Taoism, repairing the Broken Sword Mountain.
“Swoosh!”
Countless fine rock particles appeared from nowhere, coalescing into its former state. Time seemed to be reversing, as they returned to their original positions and were being mended by a miraculous power.
“Wow! Awesome!” Misawa Chihiro gasped in astonishment.
She was like a little girl watching a magic trick. Her eyes glowed with curiosity as she blinked at her surroundings.
Soon, the surroundings returned to how they were. Although he could not guarantee there were no differences, the mountain was by and large the same. There were only minuscule flaws. After all, time had not really reversed. He did not have the ability to reverse time.
He merely returned the surroundings to its former state based on his memory. He tried his best to return them to how they were. Only Mending the Sky skill could reverse time.
He had not mastered that skill, so he could only create a similar samsara path of return using the same guidelines. But he needed to expend a lot of spiritual strength. Each time he did that, he would use up half his spiritual strength.
“Is this the samsara way?” The Blood Demon King opened his eyes wide.
This Tao Law would be amongst the most powerful no matter which era they were in. Samsara signified time, and the most powerful force in this world was time.
Other than those presences which existed alongside the heavens and the earth, every mortal who resisted the keen blade of time would perish slowly too.
“Looks like you will reach the second stage soon,” Zi Yuxiao suddenly said out of the blue.
Wang Bugui only gave a bland smile. “Sister Ziyu is great. I am indeed at the pinnacle of stage one. Soon, I will reach stage two.”
“You have suppressed your fruit of Taoism for too long. But it’s worth it.” The Blood Demon King smiled.
“In other words, Big Brother is reaching the Human Emperor realm soon?” Chu He wondered.
“There’s still a long way to go. I can only create Tao Laws after a complete integration in stage three,” Wang Bugui shook his head.
At this moment, Yu Wude came up and grinned. “That’s still very fast. If we had managed to find the tomb of immortals, hey, it would have been even faster!”
“Yes. Let’s have a nice gathering first, then go look for that tomb of immortals!” Wang Bugui smiled.
After that, he led the company out of the place. He made Zi Yuxiao bring them to a scenic location and then recalled Yun Jinghong and Leng Shuangrong. Of course, he did not forget the spiritual beasts.
By this lakeside full of strange flowers, they took out all the good wine they bought, as well as the glazed goblets from Yuxu Palace, filling them to the brim. They raised their goblets and toasted one another.
“Big Brother! I want Coke!” Lan Chuan grabbed Wang Bugui’s thigh and started yelling.
“I know you like Coke. So I bought you some, don’t worry!” Wang Bugui gently knocked its head with his knuckles.
He worked his magic and drew out many bottles of Coca-Cola from the small pendant. He gave them all to Lan Chuan.
“Haha! Come! Let’s drink from the bottle itself. Hey, I’m not scared of you guys!” Lan Chuan’s fluent Sichuan dialect made everyone laugh.
But Lyu Hao suddenly thought of something. He said embarrassedly, “Big… Big Brother, we have spent some 50 years inside. The expiry date of this Coca-Cola…”
Wang Bugui heard him and started. He turned his head back slowly like a robot to look at Lan Chuan.
“Plop! Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!”
Lan Chuan had already unscrewed the bottle caps and started downing two bottles simultaneously. Soon, he finished both.
“Ah! Burp!”
It belched loudly, and then its bluish face started to flush. Everything in its eyes split into three. It saw stars spinning, as its head bloated.
“Are you alright?” Wang Bugui patted its face.
Lan Chuan shook its head vigorously, blinking its eyes. “Don’t worry! Everything’s fine! The Coke from this restaurant is strong!”
“Its aftereffects are strong compared to those I had before! It’s a 1982 vintage Coke!”
