Chapter 468 Relying on Something, Therefore Fearless
Having said that, An Qisheng could only nod.
Since his arrival in this world until now, he had left quite a few traces. He was well aware of it himself, but even if he were to do it again, he would still act in the same way.
Unless he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth the moment he entered this world, he would eventually be discovered.
A path that no one had walked in hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.
A corpse-watcher from a charity graveyard had traversed it in a mere ninety years. How could it not be conspicuous?
“But, so what?”
An Qisheng calmly looked at the Black and White Impermanence before him, his expression serene, without the slightest fear or apprehension of being exposed.
“Hmm?”
His reaction caused Black Impermanence to frown for the first time:
“Fellow Daoist An, seems fearless?”
“An is but a mortal, with all seven emotions and six desires. How could I not fear?”
An Qisheng lightly flicked his sleeves and shook his head:
“It's just that I have something to rely on, so I have no fear. It's not worth mentioning.”
He had traveled through time and space, but in the end, he was entering the Great Thousand Dream, with the trump card of being able to retreat at any time.
With a cheat, he naturally wasn't flustered.
Others might need to pay the price of their lives to test and learn, but for him, it was just wasting an opportunity to enter the dream.
With Dao power and the ability to enter dreams, he still had the opportunity to make a comeback.
But Black Impermanence's words did give him some warning. No one in Jiu Fu Realm could detect him, and no one in the Human Path could do anything to him, but that didn't mean that entering the Great Thousand Dream was an infallible method.
There were fifty fragments of the Da Yi Diagram, and he only had one. Even if the Da Yi Diagram were complete, it might not really guarantee peace of mind.
Otherwise, how did it shatter?
“Oh?”
Black Impermanence lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then pretended to ask curiously:
“I have doubts in my heart, but I don’t know how you came, Fellow Daoist. Can you enlighten me?”
“I also want to know.”
At this moment, Xie Qi, who had been silent for a moment, slowly raised his head:
“You can come and you can go, is that not so?”
“Old people are clever, old ghosts are wise, and blind people have clear minds. The two of you already know, so why ask me?”
An Qisheng couldn't help but sigh softly.
People live for a hundred years and understand the world, and these two old ghosts have lived for more than two thousand years.
Regardless of their performance, they were all extremely thoughtful people.
In a word or two, they already knew what he possessed.
“Indeed…”
A divine light flashed in Black Impermanence's eyes, and he muttered to himself:
“Is such an opportunity what the Lord of the Underworld is waiting for…?”
“Hmm?!”
Hearing Black Impermanence's muttering, An Qisheng's heart trembled, as if he had understood something.
That's right!
The Lord of the Underworld's failure to fight against Heaven had further dragged the world toward collapse.
If he were Gu Changfeng, he would inevitably seek a way out.
And as a 'transmigrator' who knew of the existence of other worlds, it was not difficult to understand that Gu Changfeng wanted to leave.
But if they wanted to leave, whether it was Gu Changfeng or Xie Qi, they could ‘ascend’ to the Imperial Heaven Realm at any time.
However, they did not leave, and their plot was probably even bigger.
With a thought, his gaze towards these two old schemers became a little strange: “You want to move all the living beings of this world to Xuanxing?”
Recalling Gu Changfeng's waiting, and Xie Qi's obviously differential treatment, he seemed to understand something.
But then again, he felt it was impossible.
This was different from individual replacement.
Simple individuals, even the Ten Fiends of the Imperial Heaven, abandoning their ability to manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their physical size was still a hundred times greater than that of the zombie king, Zhu Shang.
At most they were mountain, continent-level, and naturally extremely large compared to individuals.
But compared to a world, it was nothing.
And this world, even without the sun, moon, and stars, its four seas and five continents, plus its hundreds of millions of living beings, only the sun would be qualified for replacement in the vast solar system…
And this did not include the fact that this world contained ninety percent of the spiritual energy of this realm, and the great fortune of a world!
This was much heavier than the Great Sun.
In the long years of the Ten Epochs, more than a million years, due to the Imperial Heaven's constant pressure, the stars of this world fell, destroying the heaven and earth and destroying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It was also accumulating great fortune.
To some extent, this world was the core of the Human Path!
If he was right, once all the stars and celestial bodies in this world collided on this continent, it would inevitably be captured by the Imperial Heaven and become its ‘Human Path’.
Such an important place, wanting to replace the entire thing, was tantamount to gouging out its heart!
“That world is called Xuanxing? The Lord of the Underworld never mentioned it…”
A trace of longing rose in Xie Qi’s eyes.
“Xuanxing, Xuanxing…”
A flush rose on Black Impermanence's dark face, as if he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Being able to make two thousand-year-old monsters so out of control, one could imagine how long they had waited and how long they had planned for this day.
No wonder in the original trajectory, Xie Qi and even the entire Underworld were buried. This was simply touching the dragon's reverse scale. Once it was truly launched, there would be no chance to ascend!
And if according to the original trajectory, he participated in it…
Wouldn't that exactly correspond to everything in Wei Shaoyou's memory?
With this in mind, and looking at the expressions of the two, An Qisheng frowned, and couldn't help but say:
“Mr. Gu’s supernatural powers are beyond doubt, but he may not know when I will come, whether I will come. If I don’t come, what can you do?”
Gu Changfeng was not a god and could not predict everything.
In fact, he was only guessing that someone would come to look for the fragments of the ‘Da Yi Diagram’, but he didn't know if anyone would really come, and he didn't know who the person who came would be.
He absolutely did not believe that Gu Changfeng had even calculated this.
“If he knew when you would come, why would the Lord of the Underworld take the risk?”
Black Impermanence smiled bleakly:
“You only know that the world will be destroyed in three hundred years, but you don’t know that the original disaster of world destruction should have been two thousand three hundred years ago!
The Lord of the Underworld had no choice but to do so, but he only bought us two thousand six hundred years of time.”
His laughter was bleak, echoing in the air, audible for hundreds of miles.
The meaning contained in it had no trace of humor, only endless sadness and reminiscence.
“Two thousand three hundred years ago…”
An Qisheng's brows relaxed:
“If that’s the case, then this Underworld Lord's Sacrifice…”
Qin Wuyi was born too late. Although she was called ‘Little Ninth’, in reality, due to the difference in strength, she did not know many things.
Therefore, he only knew today that Gu Changfeng resisted Heaven because he had no choice.
“The Lord of the Underworld’s sacrifice has two meanings. If ‘you’ arrive, then sacrifice the spiritual energy of the world’s cultivators, combine it with the Ten Fiends of the Imperial Heaven, and move the world…
If ‘you’ do not come, then kill the world’s cultivators, together with the Ten Fiends of the Imperial Heaven, and summon the Lord of the Underworld to return to resist the impending disaster of world destruction…
This time is three hundred years before the world is destroyed, which is, now.”
Xie Qi no longer concealed anything and told all the reasons.
“Although I am bloodthirsty, I have never cared about those who can be killed with a flick of a finger…”
But when he said the last part, Xie Qi’s expression did not change, but there was some sadness in his eyes:
“When the Lord of the Underworld felt pity for me and Lao Ba, he allowed the two of us to ascend when we fell, so that we could live a precarious life. But what is the meaning of that to me?”
This world was the place that the brothers had guarded at the cost of their lives.
How could Xie Qi, how could he, how could he dare to leave like this?
Unless, he took it all away!
Xie Qi did not say it clearly, but he was not good at hiding his emotions, or he disdained to hide it, and his intention was almost visible at a glance.
Black Impermanence remained silent, his eyes without a trace of white staring unblinkingly at An Qisheng, waiting for his answer.
“I greatly admire and agree with your perseverance and everything that Mr. Gu has done…”
An Qisheng sighed softly:
“Unfortunately, this matter must not succeed. Forcing it will only lead to death.”
The actions of the Black and White Impermanence and the things that Gu Changfeng had done were very much in line with his temperament. However, whether it was from the original trajectory obtained from Sa Wuling.
Or what he had seen in Wei Shaoyou's memory, this Underworld Lord's Sacrifice was destined to fail.
Whether it was choosing to summon Gu Changfeng or moving this world.
And once it failed, what would happen if the Ten Fiends of the Imperial Heaven, who were sacrificed but did not die, happened to encounter the cultivation world that had been slaughtered? It was self-evident.
That was destined to be a situation that was more undesirable and unbearable to see than the disaster of world destruction.
Not to mention, for An Qisheng, killing the living beings of this time to save the world of the future was not something he should do.
Whether with good intentions or malice, he didn't think this was the right thing to do.
“Must not succeed? Heh~~”
Black Impermanence chewed on these words, and suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed self-deprecatingly:
“I said the same thing to the Lord of the Underworld back then…”
During the slight muttering.
A trace of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of Black Impermanence and Xie Qi.
That was on a day two thousand three hundred years ago, when the aura of world destruction permeated the heaven and earth, the demons and ghosts howled in the Underworld, and all the spirits of the human world trembled.
On that day, before leaving, he seemed to have said the same thing…
But…
Black Impermanence lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised them again and looked straight at An Qisheng:
“Fellow Daoist An, can you provide…
The anchor point of Xuanxing?”
He spoke this sentence very awkwardly, as if he did not understand what the so-called anchor point was. Obviously, this word was obtained from Gu Changfeng.
Xie Qi also looked at An Qisheng.
The heaven and earth were silent for a moment.
Above the city gate tower, the yin mist and yin wind in the void seemed to be motionless, and time seemed to be frozen under the gaze of the three.
An indescribable momentum spread out from the Underworld City.
Drifting for hundreds of miles, flowing in all directions.
From an unknown distance away, Yan Xiake and others who were looking into the distance suddenly felt a palpitation in their hearts for no reason. In this calm, they seemed to feel an even heavier pressure than before.
For a time, they felt extremely uneasy.
Even though they could not see the three people above the Underworld City, and could not hear what they were saying, Yan Xiake, Wei Shaoyou and others vaguely felt a great terror.
“Perhaps, there is a third way.”
“Hmm?”
Under the gaze of Black and White Impermanence, An Qisheng raised his eyes and said calmly:
“Let me do it.”
