Chapter 1477: Fallen Flowers and Flowing Water (Monthly Ticket Request at Month's Start)

The Sweat King strode forward urgently: "Did it succeed?"

Liang Qu nodded forcefully at the Sage Emperor, then looked at the Sweat King, grinning: "It succeeded!"

Fists clenched, he did not wait for his emotions to surge.

In an instant, space rippled, and a figure emerged.

"You tell it in full detail."

"Greetings, Immortal!" The Tusi and the Sweat King immediately paid their respects.

Immortal Linchuan!

Liang Qu stood solemnly, bowing deeply, not rushing to speak; he first took out six clusters of red light — the remaining, all six Essences of Heaven and Earth — and handed them to Immortal Linchuan.

The Sweat King's and the Tusi's gazes burned hot.

Although many things had already been relayed once through the Third Prince, Liang Qu still started from when he first entered the Blood River Realm, speaking of the Lotus Bodhisattva's exile, then the method of refining spirit weapons, Swallowing Heaven and Absorbing Earth, entering and leaving the Blood River Realm again, slaying the Fourth Immortal —

Liang Qu pondered: "That so-called Filth of Heaven and Earth, its essence is suspected to be like Ge Zu's hidden cultivation — because he absorbed too many people's memories, causing him to lose distinction between self and other, it is the useless remnants of others.

It's just that the Great Li Taizu detected it early, did not absorb indiscriminately, or rather, did not absorb thoroughly into confusion; while striving to preserve his self-awareness, he continuously expelled these chaotic heterogeneities, yet because they were not completely dead matter, they forever accumulated in the Blood River Realm, piling up and transforming into a special pollution."

"And we guessed it had already reached the point of being unable to contain, leading to the stage of continued fusion. The Lotus Bodhisattva, through exiling us, simultaneously scraped the bone to cure the poison, recklessly trying to clear the residual influence, thereby attempting to awaken the Fourth Will; we went along with the scheme —"

"The Dragon-Tiger Golden Body simultaneously with the Severing Flood Dragon cut apart the remnants, separating the Essence of Heaven and Earth and the Filth of Heaven and Earth; using the Filth of Heaven and Earth, they re-polluted, in one move fixing the universe —"

"Interlocking rings, exquisite beyond compare."

"Well done."

The Sage Emperor, the Sweat King, and the Tusi listened with emotions surging, pressure greatly reduced.

There would never be a Fourth True Immortal again.

Thus both the Netherworld and the Yang World are three versus three; at least on paper the numbers are even.

Perhaps even numbers represent nothing, but they are absolutely far better than not being even!

Everyone present, morale greatly shaken.

Victory.

Great victory.

The whole world celebrates together, all living beings rejoice together in this victory!

"Only —" Liang Qu paused.

"Only what."

"Only when we polluted the Fourth Will, the Fourth Will was indeed entangled, unable to resist, seized the opportunity by us, killed on the spot; the Dragon-Elephant King could thus rely on the Owl God Snatching Food, strength skyrocketing, letting us crush the Netherworld.

Even though the Fourth Immortal could already not die by leveraging momentum, body not perishing, constantly reviving, afterward he was also constantly worn down by us.

After accommodating the Small Heaven and Earth, I can resonate with the Netherworld, one word one sentence, spread across the world; the Fourth Immortal's current state, I fear, is even more withered than the Mirage Dragon and the Old Dragon Lord."

The Tusi puzzled: "Going by these words, isn't that a good thing? Why the pause?"

Liang Qu knitted his brows: "Because when we acted, the Fourth Will seemed to show signs of thoroughly fusing with the filth; by a freak combination, the 'filth' we purified might have helped the Fourth Will."

"This —"

"I see." Immortal Linchuan pinched the Essence of Heaven and Earth, tossed it to the Sage Emperor, "Misfortune leans on fortune's support, fortune hides misfortune's lair; you gained fortune from misfortune, absorbed the Great Li Taizu's essence, completed your own nature.

The Great Li Taizu likewise, because you purified the filth," raised the filth's quality, fear it let the Fourth Will thereby strive toward the Self-Cultivation Position Fruit.

Once successfully gestated, relying on the Blood River Realm's infinite offerings, I fear it could directly ascend into the Great Position Fruit. You being a step slower, you might all have to face a complete Crucible. Just right, the filth purification arose because of you, and you also seized the exquisite moment of being born yet unborn — that is the good thing."

One side has force, it naturally shifts toward that side of force.

The outside all has force, naturally collapsing inward.

Inside and outside both have force, and the force is balanced, the two mutually cancel, maintaining balance!

"Will there be any influence?" Liang Qu worried.

Linchuan shook his head: "Since it is an exquisite moment, naturally there won't be; self-cultivation, self-cultivation, before self-cultivation, even 'self' cannot be recovered, what gestation is there to speak of?

Weakened by you once, the Great Li Taizu's Fourth Will condition is bound to be even worse; whether it can properly fuse is still another matter.

Time stands on our side; the matter I have understood; your gains are not small, go cultivate first; if there is anything to discuss, speak after cultivation; do not lose the big for the small."

Liang Qu made a bow with clasped hands.

The Immortal's figure faded, vanishing as he departed.

With the Immortal as guarantor, Great Shun, Southern Frontier, Northern Court — none failed to feel their spirits relax.

The Su King's, the Lion King's, and the Xin Daxi's breakthrough qi pillars stood towering between heaven and earth, turning into a human wall.

Liang Qu turned his head to look at the Essence of Heaven and Earth in the Sage Emperor's hand.

The Sage Emperor spoke directly: "How many portions do you want?"

"Two portions."

The Sage Emperor raised his hand and threw out two clusters of blood light, then gave one portion each to the Sweat King and the Tusi, keeping two portions himself; the division was completed on the spot; the Sweat King,

the Tusi had no objections.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Liang Qu grinned.

"No matter." The Sage Emperor shook his head, "Cultivate well; this is The Most Critical Priority."

"Understood!"

Receiving the red light, Liang Qu returned to the boat, sat cross-legged.

One person can only use one portion of Essence of Heaven and Earth; two portions of Essence of Heaven and Earth, two slots — he prepared to leave them for the Old Monk and Eying.

The Old Monk needs no further words; over a hundred years old becoming a Dying Dragon, future boundless, grace heavy as mountain; tracing to the root, without the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, he could not have struck the crucial blow.

Eying likewise needs no words; husband and wife sharing weal and woe, Heaven-Man Union, half-step Penetrating Heaven and Earth, about to enter Dying Dragon, heaven wide earth broad.

Conversely, giving it to Master Yang Dongxiong — not that Liang Qu begrudged it — but the utilization rate is low.

This thing enhances thickness, not length; Yang Dongxiong nowadays doesn't make a move at all; purely on life-extension effect, with Liang Qu's strength, there are many treasure medicines he can choose.

Including the King of Yue, let alone the imperial court's enfeoffed king, can only be placed slightly later.

The most crucial thing — 【63】 "Take it again later!"

"Take it again later!"

The founding emperor of Great Li is right there.

In the world, there is no treasure that can be useful to the furnace, except the furnace itself!

The account is for the Old Dragon Lord and the Dragon!

Breathing gently, Liang Qu quickly entered meditation, digesting what he gained from the netherworld, his aura continuously thickening, making the wolf chief and Li Da, the Dharma protectors around him, envious.

The wolf chief was even more inwardly unbalanced, gazing at the Six Paths Heaven-Reaching Pillar, he heard clearly and distinctly.

Zhang Longxiang, having just swallowed a immortal!

Crimson aura flames surrounded Zhang Longxiang, manifesting as terrifying owl spirits, like the souls of those who died under the blade in days past, seizing heart and soul.

Merely facing it directly, terrifying as a great hall about to collapse, what a splendid encounter.

Hating my own insufficient strength, in the realm between awakening and the flood dragon, there is also a gap.

The terror of the Fifth Immortal, the Northern Court vividly before my eyes. Compared to the Fourth Immortal ranked higher, what then? One step slow, step by step slow, the former peers — 【74】 "Limitless."

"It's limitless."

The tusi held the essence of heaven and earth, first inquired of the Laozu Sect, reported the situation, returned to the quiet chamber, and silently observed the blood-red light.

Ten thousand years ago was the era of the founding emperor of Great Li.

Ten thousand years later, it is the era of Great Shun, the era of Liang Qu.

How long have the Four Passes and Seven Ways developed? Generation after generation of outstanding people, generation after generation of heavenly talents.

Ten thousand years ago, the first human immortal and the first demon immortal collided, producing the netherworld, producing the possibility of transforming into a rainbow, producing the opportunity for it; ten thousand years later, will this possibility transform into reality?

The flood dragon's body, suppressing the fourth will — 【81】 The pinnacle of the Four Passes and Seven Ways!

The peak of the Four Gates and Seven Paths!

Fire-flowing black, star-flowing red, riding the born sage Ying Tianxiang.

"Always moving toward the good direction — "

The tusi drew a deep breath, hoping to witness true rainbow transformation in his lifetime, he cut off his thoughts and delusions, gripped the essence of heaven and earth, and absorbed it into himself.

Besides Li Da, he is likewise the highest combat power in the southern borders!

The Holy Emperor gazed into the distance, the Huangsha River flowing into the Eastern Sea, clear and turbid distinctly separated.

Entering the eleventh month.

Four years ago, roughly after the year, the Whale Emperor announced to the world.

Now, only one year remains until the Eastern Sea Great Hunt.

Vast and divine, with the turning of time. Responding to fate, inheriting heaven. Dragon leaping vast, Peng soaring vast. All people's sect, thus desolate — 【91】 Heavenly Rank.

Celestial Rank.

This is the best of times, the furnace collides, rainbow transformation shall emerge, continuing the past and opening the future, yet also the worst of times, one general's success, ten thousand bones withered.

Splendid!

"Squeak-squeak."

Chen Qingjiang whipped the donkey pulling the cart, sitting on the jolting cart as it creaked forward, the wheels and wooden axle rubbing and making noise.

Someone ahead was arguing, the road blocked.

Chen Qingjiang looked toward the Yingchun Tower in the distance, bright and colorful, just after glancing for a moment, someone came to clear it, the congested road began to move forward again.

The weather turned cold, it's time to prepare two new sets of clothes, these years have been nothing but favorable winds and rains, whether hot or cold, no great floods have been seen; later I'll go to the backyard to scatter some vegetable seeds, wait for them to grow, then the weather will turn cold, perhaps I can eat sweet vegetables.

He thought.

"Pa!"

The long whip lashed.

—

Dust rose and was then pressed down, the wheels rolled forward.

Someone brought over a basin and splashed some water, to prevent dust from flying up into the shop.
