Chapter 629: The Other Shore of the Cicada, the Origin of the Heart Demon
In the moment of trance, Xie Que seemed to be in the vortex of time and space.
Every breath he took witnessed the change and flow of the years.
An indescribable sense of vastness surged in his heart, as if once he completely descended into this world,
the laws and laws of the world would be subject to his supreme will.
When his eyes opened and closed, day and night alternated freely.
The growth, decline, prosperity, and extinction of all things in the world were all dependent on his thoughts, like toys in his hands, controlled at will.
This is not only a display of power, but also an understanding and control of the profound laws of this world.
"To me, the light of the universe is now just a tiny ration to nourish my soul..."
Xie Que whispered in his heart, his voice was light, but it contained pride.
As he suddenly took a deep breath, it seemed as if the gate of the entire river of time and space was suddenly opened, and endless light of the universe surged like a tide.
These are regarded as treasures by countless practitioners. Even those high-ranking Gods of Creation need to go through untold hardships and spend thousands of years to condense a few of these cosmic lights. Now, they are as easy to obtain as a daily meal.
With one mouthful, he swallowed a huge amount that was enough for countless Creations to look up to.
Xie Que's Bodhi Dharma Eye, which was the only one that could sense the long river of time in the past, also quietly dissipated in the process.
It did not disappear without a trace, but was completely integrated into Xie Que's pupils in a more mysterious way and became a part of his body.
His eyes can not only simply control the long river of time within the range, but also see through the essence of all things in the world and predict short-term future changes.
"After the transformation of Guanshimo Dharmakaya, I finally pushed it to the other side."
Xie Que's mind was full of thoughts, and Guanshimo Dharmakaya appeared again in the world.
At this moment, he turned into a creature with a human hand and a dragon tail.
The end of the dragon tail was directly immersed in the long river of time.
He gently grabbed an invisible fish from the depths of the void thousands of miles away.
As the most fragile life form in the void, the fish is often just food for many void creatures.
Under Xie Que's gaze, a faint "blood bar" miraculously appeared on the top of the fish's head.
This "blood bar" was much more ethereal than the trace of death that Xie Que could see.
He gently raised his hand, and his fingertips condensed with enough power to shake the void. With a light poke, the ethereal "blood bar" instantly collapsed and disintegrated, turning into nothingness.
In a flash, the tiny fish's body seemed to be accelerated by time. It first expanded rapidly,
leaped from a tender childhood to a mature and strong adult stage, and then aged and weakened at a very fast speed.
Finally, in a flash of purple light, it turned into dots of void energy and drifted away.
This is also the final chapter of the life cycle of the virtual fish clan, and it is also a symbol of their return to the embrace of the void.
Xie Que stared at his empty palm, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He could feel that his life seemed to have become longer.
Although he was in the other shore, he was close to immortality,
but even such an existence could not escape the shackles of time, but the end of the day was far away.
Now, he has gained a trivial extension in these years,
just like quietly adding a few decimals to an already vast number,
although inconspicuous, but it really exists.
For other Tianjuns who are also in the other shore, such subtle changes may not be noticed at all.
But Xie Que can clearly sense that his life extension has indeed happened.
"Is this the cicada molt that belongs to me?"
Xie Que pondered in his heart. This word is the knowledge he recently learned from Jidu Tianjun.
This step from destiny to the other side is almost equivalent to a cocoon turning into a butterfly, a pupa turning into a cicada.
The cicada sheds its skin, which means that after reaching the other side, it is reflected by the long river of time, and everything it has learned before is integrated and transformed, which is also the magical power given by the long river of time.
Out of curiosity, Xie Que reached out again and easily caught a few virtual fish.
He found that he could not only draw a meager life from these tiny lives, but also had the ability to give his own life to these fragile lives.
This discovery is undoubtedly a new expansion of the boundaries of his power.
When Xie Que tried to pour one year of his own life into an ordinary virtual fish, he also saw the depth of the gap between the levels of life,
the gap was far beyond the comparison between sand and stars.
Miraculously, this virtual fish not only gained an extra year of life, but also underwent earth-shaking changes.
It transformed into a three-level creature, only one step away from entering the Tao.
"It's incredible..."
Xie Que looked at the virtual fish that transformed because of his life, and his heart was full of emotion.
He had never expected that his own cicada molt could give him such incredible abilities.
For example, the cicada molt that Jidu Tianjun possessed could use all the demons planted in his heart as time nodes, allowing him to freely descend into a certain time period.
Such a cicada molt is also against the will of heaven, and can almost make him invincible.
It's a pity that he happened to meet Xie Que, who could distort the long river of time, making the cicada molt ineffective.
"This kind of cicada molt technique is called 'life transfer'."
After some exploration, Xie Que's lips curled into a faint smile.
Now, the true spirit of Lord Keto has completely fallen into his control, and the haze that originally hung over Lord Nichiren has also disappeared.
Xie Que is preparing to return to the world and continue his unfinished journey.
"But before we make our way home..."
Xie Que's eyes couldn't help but fall on the depths of his soul, where a deep black mist was quietly curling up.
This black mist is where Jidu Tianjun’s true spirit lies.
Although its huge power system has been dismantled and absorbed by Xie Que one by one, the true spirit itself still exists.
Xie Que released the restriction that bound the true spirit with a gentle wave of his hand.
The next moment, the trial of death slowly opened a new chapter.
A new page appeared quietly, accompanied by a dark but extremely eye-catching black light, which made Xie Que feel dazzled involuntarily.
"It's actually black..."
In the light, a line of black fonts suddenly appeared - "The Origin of the Inner Demon".
Origin of inner demons: Black entry, you will become the ultimate fear of all things.
Xie Que stared at this line of entries, and a trace of doubt appeared between his brows.
After some exploration, he gradually understood the nature of this black entry.
That is, once his will intersects with any living body, a seed of inner demon will be quietly planted deep in his heart.
And all this is completely unaware to the lives being touched.
This inner demon seed will become Xie Que's key to insight into the inner world of the other person in the world.
He was able to quietly peer into the most secret and unknown thoughts and emotions.
Moreover, he can also weave irresistible fantasy worlds based on these inner desires, fears and obsessions.
Let yourself be the master of these fantasies and control everything that happens and evolves.
The final destination of the inner demon seed after it absorbs nutrients and matures is to integrate with Xie Que himself and become part of his power.
Those lives that have been planted with inner demons will gradually become his extensions and puppets.
Their will, strength and even life itself will be used by Xie Que.
Xie Que took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
The ability conferred by this black entry is undoubtedly powerful and alluring, but it also reveals an unspeakable viciousness.
However, he was not too surprised. After all, he got it from the ancestor of the inner demon, from Jidu Star.
At this point, Xie Que also became more and more familiar with the Death Trial Diagram.
He could find that the appearance of the entries in this picture followed a subtle pattern:
Under the realm of the other side, the appearance of golden entries is still possible;
Once you step into the realm of creation, the probability of golden entries increasing significantly.
As for the realm of the Heavenly King on the other side, its entry should be black.
Based on such observations and reasoning, Xie Que secretly speculated that the demon master Kunpeng who had given him the "Breaking Realm Body" might have reached the level of the Heavenly Lord of the Other Side.
This conjecture is not groundless, but stems from his deep understanding of the Death Judgment Diagram.
As for Jidu Tianjun's memories, Xie Que has already obtained them all.
After all, those memory fragments have been integrated with him now.
But there are also many things that are unclear, and the main content is mainly focused on the key stage of Jidu Tianjun from his birth to his incarnation as a demon.
As far as he knew, Tianjun Jidu was born in the Qingqiu Fox Clan, which gave him extraordinary spirituality and wisdom.
During the long years of practice, he continued to explore the nature of the mind, and after going through all kinds of hardships, he was finally able to break through the mysteries of the inner demons and incarnate into the inner demons of the Buddhas.
However, regarding Jidu Tianjun's subsequent experiences, the memory is extremely fragmented and confusing, and it is ultimately difficult to capture the full picture.
However, when deeply exploring the fate of Jidu Star, Xie Que keenly captured a crucial clue.
That was the appearance of Ji Duxing, and there seemed to be a more complex layout and calculation hidden behind it.
This caused it to slide step by step from the body of a white fox to the abyss of inner demons, and formed an unspeakable bond with the Buddha.
As for the driving force behind all this, Xie Que already had a bold guess in his mind, and that was the legendary magic star - Rahu Star!
This name has been closely connected with many mysterious legends since ancient times, as if it has existed since the beginning of the world, and its authenticity is difficult to distinguish.
Xie Que searched his memory, but found that he had never witnessed the real record of Rahu Star appearing in the world in any books or legends, whether in the solemn Buddhist world, the mysterious earthly immortal world, or Or in other realms, no trace of it has been left. This unknown and mystery adds to the confusion of Rahu Xing's life experience.
After completing his analysis and emotion about the fate of Ji Duxing, Xie Que finally stepped into the long river of time and embarked on his journey home. He was filled with anticipation and a hint of urgency. Returning to his true body, and with the help of the secrets of "Fellow Immortal Martial Cultivators", Xie Que knew that his physical body would undergo another transformation and sublimation, which was undoubtedly a great help on his path of cultivation. However, what followed was an increase in the difficulty of opening up the cave. This challenge made Xie Que frown. But when he thought about it, he realized that this was just a necessary test on the road to spiritual practice, and he soon felt relieved.
Looking to the future, when the Gufeng Realm ushered in its final disintegration, the power originating from the origin of the world should be enough to become an opportunity for Xie Que to break through himself and move towards a higher realm. If there are any shortcomings, he is also confident that with the vast power of the Tianjun body and the mystery of the Dharmakaya at the end of the world, he can return the Gufeng Realm to its most prosperous period, and then cause it to explode with a bang, releasing unprecedented destruction. The power of destruction. By then, even his physical body, which has been tempered and sublimated countless times, will become insignificant in front of that destructive power. But Xie Que firmly believes that it is precisely this kind of challenge and tempering that can create his true supreme magical power and immortal legend.
…
When Xie Que slowly opened his eyes, what caught his eye was Nichiren Tianjun.
Although only a trace of his incarnation appeared at this moment, it was enough to make Xie Que feel an indescribable peace in his heart.
"Finally, I'm back." He sighed softly, with a bit of relief and emotion in his tone.
Nichiren Kami's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including surprise and disbelief. There was a hint of disbelief in his words: "You... actually did it, beheaded a heavenly king, Such a feat is truly rare.”
However, for all this, Xie Que just smiled indifferently,
Because only he himself knows the hardships and difficulties along the way.
After hundreds of fierce battles and countless calamities, every word carries the burden of countless life and death tests and spiritual tempering.
Recalling the years when they turned into stone, all six senses were lost, as if they were in endless darkness and nothingness. That kind of despair and loneliness is enough to make any strong person in the world want to give up.
But Xie Que, with extraordinary tenacity and perseverance, overcame one by one and finally made it to where he is today.
Now, standing on the threshold of Tianjun, looking back at the past, Xie Que's state of mind has undergone earth-shaking changes. The excitement and excitement that once existed have now turned into the desire and pursuit of a higher realm.
He knew that the road to the Heavenly King was just a new starting point.
After an in-depth exchange with Nichiren Tenjun, both parties benefited a lot.
Although Nichiren Tianjun was the first to step into the realm of Tianjun, Xie Que knew that he benefited from Jidu Tianjun's profound foundation.
Compared with Nichiren's ignorance and exploration when he first entered this situation, he actually had a head start.
What's more, Nichiren's breakthrough was actually the result of his indirect contribution, which made Xie Que inevitably feel some subtle emotions in his heart.
At the end of the conversation, Xie Que said with a slightly apologetic smile: "When I get out of Nichiren Imperial Palace, I will help my fellow Taoist to wake up leisurely from his deep sleep."
However, Nichiren Tianjun shook his head slightly, revealing an otherworldly indifference in his words: "Such a state, for me, is really a rare peace. I have long forgotten all the troubled beliefs on Yingzhou. I feel tired and don’t want to get involved anymore.”
He continued: "Besides, the Bodhisattva once gave me a copy of the Great Dream Heart Sutra in the past, stating that it would take a thousand years of dreaming to understand its true meaning. Today, I finally have the opportunity to immerse myself in it and understand it carefully."
Hearing this, Xie Que nodded slightly, understanding in his heart that Nichiren Tianjun's decision had its own reasons, so he no longer forced it.
In the realm of Heavenly Lord on the other side, one can already see misfortunes and blessings from a distance, and understand the secrets of heaven. Naturally, Nichiren Heavenly Lord will not easily fall into danger.
As for the "Great Dream Heart Sutra", Xie Que secretly speculated that this might be the extraordinary method to restore the Eight Hundred Miles of Flame Mountain and reshape the past scene.
Only such a mysterious technique can bring the scene in memory back to reality so vividly. (End of chapter)
