Fried Salted Fish

Chapter 422 Talismans from Heaven

  Ji Xiang's future sight only showed fragments. In essence, although the "Reversing Qiankun" ability was powerful, it had limitations. Some futures could be changed, but others were difficult to alter, and these unchangeable futures were impossible to see with future sight.

  But at the instant the ability activated.

  Boom! A massive torrent of darkness obscured the future, followed by a vast mist, and a ghostly city appeared faintly, quickly disappearing into the future!

  At this moment, a humanoid figure radiating golden light appeared in front of the ghost city. Through the illusion, one could vaguely sense the aura emanating from them.

  It was the aura of Haoran!

  And the figure turned its head the instant Ji Xiang looked at it.

  Subsequently, the scenes of past and future began to reverse and invert, and everything seen disappeared from Ji Xiang's consciousness.

  Only the golden figure remained.

  After that, no matter how the ability was urged, it was difficult to see that future again.

  The light in Ji Xiang's eyes dimmed, and the Inner Landscape Divine Tablet emitted a soft white light to protect him. The images erased in that instant resurfaced from his heart, rendering the unfathomable method ineffective.

  "Heavenly Heart Realm!"

  Ji Xiang was shocked. Interfering with causality was an ability possessed by beings at the Heavenly Heart level. They could reverse the scenes seen from the past and future, and after the inversion of causality, the things seen before were no longer real.

  "Fortunately, I had the Inner Landscape Divine Tablet protecting me, otherwise I would have forgotten everything just now."

  Those in the Heavenly Heart Realm who cultivated the Great Luo Dao could invert causality, adding events that happened in the future to the past, making them truly happen. Therefore, although they were in the "present world", they could see the "future" and, as if being there in person, turn their heads from this illusory "future" to see the "gaze" from the past, thereby erasing that part of history.

  Similarly, they could even turn this future into a "past" that had already happened.

  The Heavenly Heart was an unfathomable realm, and it symbolized the second most powerful realm below the Heavenly Dao True Realm.

  As for the highest Hunyuan Realm, Ji Xiang had not yet encountered any figure at that level.

  "To be able to interfere with the years and block the past and future, this is a figure with extremely high cultivation in the Heavenly Heart Realm. Who exactly is it..."

  Ji Xiang could not see the future regarding the chaos in Sichuan. After thinking slightly and adjusting, he activated the ability again, focusing only on the future of Yang Yinglong, the rebel.

  He needed to change his death date, and he activated the ability with this thought in mind.

  An illusion began to appear. A person in armor walked to the end of the road, surrounded by a large army, seemingly no different from his original destined outcome.

  But the next moment, a giant stele suddenly appeared, rising from the ground. The armored person came to the stele, and then a black, ghastly giant ghost face emerged from the inscription.

  Then....

  The Bozhou War was reversed!

  A large number of human soldiers were transformed into ghost soldiers by the stele inscription, and a talisman emerged from the inscription, which Yang Yinglong held in his hands with ecstasy.

  "What is that thing?"

  Ji Xiang was shocked. Just as he was about to continue checking, the fragment suddenly stopped abruptly.

  The ability was activated, but he could no longer see what happened next.

  This time there was no Heavenly Heart Realm interference, but the future could not be reversed. Suddenly, muffled thunder rumbled in the sky, which made Celestial Master Zhang beside him puzzled.

  "Senior brother, what did you see?"

  Ji Xiang also looked up.

  The sky thundered. This was a warning from the heavens caused by the Reversing Qiankun ability. When the user repeatedly tried to see an unchangeable future, it would be regarded as performing "heaven-defying deeds". As a Heavenly Demon, he could not go against the arrangements of heaven.

  In other words....

  That talisman emerging from the stele....

  Came from heaven!

  "How is this possible? There are no living people in heaven, and the only ones who can represent heaven are...."

  "Yuqing cultivators!"

  "Sure enough, the Bozhou affair will not end so easily. This time it has become troublesome."

  Ji Xiang told Celestial Master Zhang what he had just seen, which made the Celestial Master's face also turn ugly.

  A talisman that can turn living people into ghost soldiers?

  Wasn't this even more unreasonable than the Japanese ghost-god transformation technique? Just touching it would cause transformation?

  "How can such a thing exist? I have never seen such a thing in any ancient book."

  "If such a thing really exists, wouldn't Xu Fu, as the only ancient alchemist alive since the Qin Dynasty and constantly existing in the surface world, have had any thoughts of taking this thing in these two thousand years?"

  "If this thing really exists, then what exactly has Xu Fu been researching for the past two thousand years with his ghost-god transformation technique?"

  The Celestial Master did not believe such a thing, but the truth was before his eyes. Ji Xiang had seen such a thing.

  This shows that there are ancient secrets hidden in Sichuan that have not been discovered. Who buried them is unknown.

  Moreover, even the Heavenly Heart Realm was alarmed and even erased this future to prevent others from peeking into it. The figure of a Yuqing cultivator appeared in it, all pointing the finger at one person.

  "Could it be Yuan Huang again?"

  The only Heavenly Heart Realm figure who was detached from the Three Teachings and the alchemists, forming his own force, and also possessed the identity of a Yuqing cultivator, and was closest to the human world. If anyone could cause trouble the most, it would be him.

  "No... I don't think it's Yuan Huang."

  Ji Xiang recalled the Heavenly Heart Realm existence that appeared. It was full of golden light, but did not have the characteristics of a Yuqing cultivator.

  "That Heavenly Heart Realm figure had the aura of Haoran."

  "It's someone from the Confucian school."

  "Furthermore, this Heavenly Heart and that talisman may not have any connection."

  The Celestial Master's expression became solemn: "I want to see what's in Sichuan!"

  After saying that, a halo burst out from his body, and a Yang God incarnation separated from his body and immediately flew into the sky, heading towards the west.

  Sending a Yang God incarnation was sent. Even if there were any ancient strange objects existing in it, he would not feel too bad about losing an incarnation. The Celestial Master had almost recovered now, sitting in charge of all directions. How could a dignified immortal allow such strange things to kill the imperial soldiers in the human world?

  Ji Xiang saw Celestial Master send out an incarnation and knew that if Celestial Master could not handle this matter, then he would not be able to handle it now. After all, with the involvement of the Heavenly Heart, if he really wanted to stir up this muddy water, the best way... was to tell Vajrapani.

  "Let's take another look at the affairs of the South Sea.... Are there any changes this time?"

  The ability was activated again.

  .......

  In the Hidden World, the Great Sun Tathagata suddenly had a ray of causal light appear between his eyebrows. His eyes were like torches, and he opened them instantly, and light shone in all directions!

  "I can obtain the Yuan Shi position, and the key lies in the Dharma teachings of the South Sea in the human world!"

  The Great Sun Tathagata had thoughts in his heart, and he had already seen the cycle of cause and effect, and the future was already destined to be turned into the past by him. Once it was finalized, it would be difficult to change.

  In this way, the Great Sun Tathagata could 100% take the Yuan Shi position into his possession, as if he had already witnessed the birth of the Original Buddha, which made the solar radiance on his body even more intense.

  In another place, when Ji Xiang's mind turned to the South Sea and he peered into the future, a golden hand stretched out from a high mountain in the southern continent of Jambudvipa.

  This mountain was called Mount Potalaka.
