Chapter 829: The Connecting World
Chapter 829: The Connecting World
"Excellent! Master Spirit Void, this way please!"Originally, Su Qinian was full of hostility towards Spirit Void Old Ghost.
But now it was different. Spirit Void Old Ghost was not an enemy; he was an old fellow appreciated by the ancestor, a good citizen who brought treasures to his Moon Shadow Sect.
He absolutely had to be given the treatment a good citizen deserved.
Although the surrounding Moon Shadow Sect disciples still regarded him with some fear, being called 'Master' twice in a row by both Su Qinian and Chen Huaian really made Spirit Void Old Ghost feel a bit light-headed and proud.
To be honest, he was just a ghost cultivator that everyone wanted to beat up, what kind of 'Master' did he count as?
Those old monsters from other sects feared his strength, but behind his back, didn't they still call him an inhuman, unghostly old undying thing? Only here at the Moon Shadow Sect did he seem to rediscover the feeling of being a living person.
If Chen Huaian alone acknowledged him and addressed him as Master, then what prejudices could the other disciples of the Moon Shadow Sect possibly hold against him?
A Master must have the bearing of a Master!
Spirit Void Old Ghost pinched his beard, narrowed his eyes, placed his other hand behind his back, trying his best to look as ethereal and immortal as possible, with some of the demeanor of a senior, and then, under the gaze of a group of disciples, followed Su Qinian towards the back mountain.
"This old fellow is quite easy to satisfy..."
Chen Huaian couldn't help but think to himself as he watched Spirit Void Old Ghost's retreating back.
The first time he encountered Spirit Void Old Ghost, the old ghost was a yellow dot tinged with orange-red on the map of the Cangyun Realm, meaning he could become an enemy at any moment.
Meeting again today, the moment they saw each other, the orange-red dot instantly turned pale yellow.
Although he didn't know the reason, at the moment of meeting, Spirit Void Old Ghost had indeed restrained his hostility.
And now, Spirit Void Old Ghost was a lush, verdant green, exuding a vibrant, thriving aura.
"A pity that Heart Hearing is ineffective against old monsters like Spirit Void Old Ghost who are at the Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm, otherwise I could know exactly what he's been thinking..." Chen Huaian shook his head regretfully.
"Those who have the Dao have many to help them; those who lose the Dao have few to help them." Looking at the six treasures in Chen Huaian's hand, the Spirit Beast Sect Master couldn't help but sigh. "From today's event, one can see that Senior carries the Destiny Energy of heaven and earth upon his person.
Whatever Senior needs appears, isn't that exactly what they call 'as you wish, so it shall be'?
Originally, this junior thought gathering the materials would be a difficult, time-consuming, and laborious task that might not even be accomplished. Who would have thought someone had already packed the materials and delivered them to Senior.
And this person turned out to be the very karma Senior personally planted half a month ago."
Renshou was marveling at how wondrous and unfathomable fate and karma were.
Chen Huaian, however, frowned. Previously, his main body had not entered the Great Ascension Stage, so his perception of those obscure laws existing between heaven and earth, the so-called karma and destiny, was not deep.
Now his main body had already stepped into the Great Ascension Stage.
His every word and action subtly influenced the flow of the energy of heaven and earth.
He had gained a deeper understanding of those mysterious and profound things.
Furthermore, the Dao he had comprehended was precisely the supreme Great Dao of freedom and unfettered ease.
Therefore, hearing Renshou's words now, he felt not joy, but suspicion.
He felt all this was too coincidental.
It was like a grand play with a script already set in advance, everything calculated within the framework of this world, and he too was imprisoned within this world, unable to escape.
Was someone deliberately manipulating this?
Then what was their purpose...
...
"Tsk, it seems this kid has already sensed something."
Upper Realm of the Cangyun Realm.
White Sword sat cross-legged before a sand table, a slight hook at the corner of his mouth as he gazed at the increasingly obscure heavenly secrets above the Moon Shadow Sect.
The stronger Chen Huaian became, the more keen his insight into heavenly secrets.
Originally, Chen Huaian's every move was within his grasp, but now it was as if veiled in mist, unclear and hard to see through.
However, he could still understand Chen Huaian's situation through other channels.
If Chen Huaan's actions ever deviated from his plan, he could simply arrange a task to... but now, even if Chen Huaian deviated from his plan, it didn't matter anymore.
Because...
The fusion was about to begin.
"Open eyes!" White Sword formed hand seals with both hands, and ten thousand strands of silver-white sword qi erupted from his body.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a pale golden "Dao Pattern" appeared on his forehead. When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had transformed into a profound cosmos—countless nebulae birthed and perished within, galaxies flowed like dust, and the light of billions of stars flickered uncertainly in the depths of his eyes.
His fingertips lightly twisted, and the light and shadow in his pale golden eyes abruptly contracted.
Finally, they settled on a planet enveloped in a pale blue halo.
On the surface of that planet, nine white vortices rose into the sky like celestial pillars. Even across the endless sea of stars, one could still clearly see the raging torrents of spiritual energy within the vortices, like nine bright lamps burning in the universe, clearly imprinting everything about the planet in his eyes.
"All nine Wells of Heaven are open, and all were personally opened by Chen Huaian.
With karma like this, we can completely lock onto that world's location!
Finally... we can merge!"
A flash of joy erupted in White Sword's eyes.
He rarely showed his emotions.
But at this moment, he couldn't suppress his excitement and the ambition swelling in his heart.
With one inhalation and exhalation, the sword qi around him abruptly converged, all flowing into his body.
The sand table of the Cangyun Realm before him moved without wind, the fine sand rising into the air like living creatures, transforming into a golden "sand stream" that followed his fingertips and drilled into the center of his forehead.
As the sand stream continuously poured in, ripples appeared in the void behind him, and that "Origin Core," resembling a suspended scorching sun and emanating an aura of chaos, slowly manifested.
At this moment, the surface of the Origin Core was already covered with golden Dao Patterns.
As White Sword circulated his power, the Dao Patterns trembled along with it.
Each tremor seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, emitting a low sound like an ancient bell tolling.
Immediately after, countless silver-gray "Karmic Chains" extended from the core.
They spread across the void like a spider's web, as if trying to shatter the sky above. They stubbornly took root deep into the void, stretching towards a distant shore.
White Sword's hands rapidly formed seals, and he recited incantations from his mouth.
*Buzz buzz buzz—!*
The Origin Core trembled more and more violently.
The Karmic Chains were pulled by an invisible force, rapidly extending towards the direction of Earth Star, piercing through the barriers of the star sea, and precisely connecting with the nine vortices on Earth Star.
When the final chain connected, the Origin Core suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and the space around White Sword rippled like water waves.
He stopped circulating his power, and the surroundings gradually calmed.
Only the fanaticism in the depths of his eyes flickered like sparks.
"It's done."
White Sword murmured to himself: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. The two worlds will gradually begin to merge. Next is to accumulate enough power to prepare for confronting that world's Divine System."
The commotion White Sword caused here was not small.
However, by the time Tu Shan Yue and Real Person Jade Compassion rushed over, everything had already returned to silence.
"White Sword brother, didn't you say you'd come find me to play chess today? Lying to me again!"
Tu Shan Yue played with her fingers, her pouted lips looking like they could hang a soy sauce bottle.
Her heart was full of White Sword. As for what White Sword had just done, she directly ignored it and wouldn't ask more.
Only Real Person Jade Compassion, sensing the chaotic aura in the air that hadn't yet completely dispersed, seemed thoughtful.
And also...
The Sword Bearer usually didn't smile.
But today, the corners of his mouth seemed a bit hard to suppress.
Something big must have happened!
"Oh, right!" She suddenly remembered something and said to White Sword, "Spirit Void Old Ghost has already taken up residence in the Moon Shadow Sect. With the great Destiny Energy and rich spiritual energy blessing of the Moon Shadow Sect upon him, he can no longer suppress his bottleneck. It won't be long before he undergoes his tribulation... So, should we follow the previous arrangement and have him struck dead?"
White Sword stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment, then said indifferently, "Let him live."
Facing Jade Compassion's puzzled gaze, he casually explained.
—"I am in great need of labor right now!"
