Chapter 66: More formidable than that Jingwei, a thousand times more beautiful (Third Update)

The Heavenly Dao Leader and Gu Jiangming appeared on the world map, one after the other.

Clearly, they represent different fates, but it is unknown whose game it is, and the Heavenly Dao Leader and Gu Jiangming may not even know that both sides have entered the world to respond to the times.

Because the movements on the 【Mie Changsheng】 world map can only be observed by a mere few.

But it must be said that the moment the two appeared together, one after the other, they gave everyone an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Even the figure of the former, the Heavenly Dao Leader, leading numerous Heavenly Dao cultivators into the game, gave Wang Qinghe an unprecedentedly immense pressure.

Because this mysterious force, the Heavenly Dao, is unknown.

Wang Qinghe knows very little about them; she only knows that the Heavenly Dao easily dismantled the structure of the Seven Great Sects.

In her knowledge, the Seven Great Sects were the top existences ten thousand years ago; taking the government as an example, the status of the Seven Great Sects was on par with that of the Six Ministries.

Without the Six Ministries as the central axis, the Emperor would have no way to effectively manage the country and rule the world of the Dajing Dynasty.

And for the Seven Great Sects, which held such important status, the Zhenggang Sect was wiped out in a single night, and even her own well-acquainted Sixth Uncle was a person of the Heavenly Dao.

How could this not make Wang Qinghe feel nervous? After all, they entered the world's situation with such fierce momentum; no matter how one looks at it, it feels like this Heaven and Earth is about to enter a dead end.

But who could have imagined that just after the Heavenly Dao Leader's actions on the world map concluded, and the Heavenly Dao force officially entered the world.

Gu Jiangming's image appeared on the world map again.

This clearly means that Gu Jiangming is already on the same status as the Heavenly Dao Leader; both sides are players in this, both have their own games, but it is unknown in whose hands the victory will fall.

It is just that in Wang Qinghe's eyes, she naturally believes that Gu Jiangming winning everything is the best outcome.

By comparison, Jiu Jiu, who witnessed everything, was the one truly left speechless.

【"What exactly did you comprehend!?" Even the mysterious turtle beneath Gu Jiangming's feet couldn't help but sway; it never imagined that Gu Jiangming, with only the body of a Spirit Transformation stage, could comprehend something that even Heaven and Earth Enlightenment level prodigies could not.】

【"I don't know." Gu Jiangming pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "I don't know what exactly I have comprehended."】

【Yes, even Gu Jiangming himself has not figured out what exactly the thing he comprehended is.】

【Is it a divine ability?】

【It doesn't look like it.】

【Is it a technique?】

【It doesn't look like it either.】

【Is it a cultivation method?】

【It doesn't look like it either.】

【Because if the Four Thousand Bureau were a divine ability, then the Four Thousand Bureau should possess the effects and functions of a divine ability.】

【But it does not.】

【It cannot be used instantly, it cannot directly unleash the terrifying power Gu Jiangming wants; it seems more like a functional medium.】

【And as for techniques and cultivation methods, it is even less like them.】

【This is not a technique, nor is it a cultivation method; it is more like a fate dominated by oneself.】

【Especially the things recorded on the back of the mysterious turtle, which are fundamentally two different concepts from what Gu Jiangming comprehended.】

【Everything recorded on the back of the mysterious turtle is the Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique, a type of ancient Evasion Technique that incorporates thousands of divine abilities, but... it is not the Four Thousand Bureau.】

【The Four Thousand Bureau is more like a brand-new evolution after Gu Jiangming's previous realm Opportunity merged with the Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique; it is the product of the two becoming one.】

【And now, Gu Jiangming wants to systematically absorb these divine abilities, put them into his own Four Thousand Bureau, and let the Four Thousand Bureau possess the ability to infinitely command these divine abilities.】

【To summarize in one sentence, once the Four Thousand Bureau is released, Gu Jiangming is the game within all things; he is the fixed number of all this, but only within the range he releases.】

【Currently, he can only expand the range of the Four Thousand Bureau to within one meter; he cannot cover anything beyond that.】

Looking at the words before him.

Gu Jiangming feels that if he wants to enhance the full power of the Four Thousand Bureau and let it reveal its true strength, he must first break through the shackles of his realm and reach the realm of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment.

It is just that he does not know how to achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment now.

【"Xuanwu, how can a mortal achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment?" You stepped on the scales beneath your feet and asked.】

【The mysterious turtle does not seem to like others stepping on its back, because what it is most proud of is recorded on it, but it is very satisfied with the title of Xuanwu.】

【For it, the pursuit of a lifetime, besides protecting the divine abilities on these scales, is to attain the Dao of Xuanwu and become the pride of its race.】

【"Heaven and Earth Enlightenment?" The mysterious turtle's voice fell into contemplation, "I don't know how you humans communicate with Heaven and Earth."】

【"As long as one can sense Heaven and Earth, one can achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment."】

【"This sounds very simple, but there are very few who can truly do it."】

【"And besides you humans, whether it is the Demon Race or gods, we are not limited to the realm of Enlightenment."】

【"Because as long as a certain amount of time passes, we can enter the realm of Ascension; as for becoming an immortal... it has been a very, very long time since any of the Demon Race encountered that threshold."】

【"However... as long as we attain a divine position, we can live forever, so there is no need to pursue a brand-new realm."】

【"Are all gods from the Demon Race?" Gu Jiangming pondered repeatedly before asking.】

【"Some gods were once even human, but once they became gods, they were no longer human." The mysterious turtle continued, "Doesn't your Nine Provinces have something called the Heavenly Dao that has been making a huge stir recently?"】

【"They once invited me, willing to help me attain the True Body of Xuanwu, but I had to assist them in slaughtering all the Demon Race other than the gods."】

【"If my eyes do not deceive me, there are gods within the Heavenly Dao."】

【"However, if a god dares to act recklessly, even with a divine position, it is hard to protect it, but it is enough for your Nine Provinces."】

【"The problem now is... the thing you comprehended is extraordinary; I fear even ordinary gods would have to respect you by three points."】

【"Speaking of which, are there any restrictions on you gods?" Gu Jiangming first changed the subject, not wanting the mysterious turtle to continue learning about his divine ability that had not yet been fully developed, and after pausing for a few breaths, he continued to ask: "In your words, it feels like gods are not very free." "The reason a god is a god is because they have attained a divine position, and a divine position requires one to fulfill their duties to be worthy of enjoying it. After all, once you become a god, you can be protected by Heaven and Earth, so naturally, you must be limited by your duties."】

【"This is an exchange, and also a price."】

【"Therefore, to become an existence like a god... one must abide by all the rules set for us by Heaven and Earth."】

【"Then is there any way to kill a god?" Gu Jiangming finally asked the question he most wanted to know.】

【Because he was once the Heavenly Array of the Heavenly Dao, Gu Jiangming knew that the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Dao was not only to slaughter demons, but also to slaughter gods.】

【"Impossible." Hearing this, the Xuanwu couldn't help but laugh: "If gods were so easily killed, then why would one go to attain a divine position."】

【"Gods protected by Heaven and Earth are extremely difficult to kill; the heavens themselves will shield you."】

【"Unless someone can make a god commit an error within its own duties, causing it to lose the protection of Heaven and Earth; in this way, the god will suffer a backlash until it dies completely."】

【"Or, the Spirit Qi of this Heaven and Earth dissipates."】

【"Because most gods are born as monsters, and even those who are not born as monsters actually require a massive amount of Spirit Qi to sustain their own consumption; without Spirit Qi as support, a god will fall into a deep slumber."】

【"However, for a god, there are many substitutes for Spirit Qi; it is not as if only Spirit Qi can sustain their needs. As long as there is enough power of faith, and enough mortals worship you as a god, that can also fulfill the needs a god requires."】

【"Moreover, this method cannot kill a god at all; it can only cause the god to fall into a deep slumber."】

【"Therefore, even if I tell you, it is impossible for anyone to fulfill these requirements."】

【"Mortal, you now realize what kind of existence a god truly is, don't you?"】

【"I respect you a little because you were able to comprehend such a divine ability from my scales; that is indeed quite remarkable, but if you want to kill a god, that is almost an impossible task."】

【The voice of the Black Tortoise was full of smugness and pride.】

【"Jiu Jiu, how old is it?"】

【"Thirty... thirty thousand years old?"】

【"Fifty thousand years old, child," the Black Tortoise retorted.】

【"Among monsters like the Black Tortoise, fifty thousand years is roughly equivalent to an eight or nine-year-old child. She refuses to take human form now because once she does, she will look like a small child," Jiu Jiu added.】

【"I feel like she is a bit arrogant and gullible; you should usually take more care of her," Gu Jiangming suggested earnestly.】

【"I also often trick her, but I didn't expect her to have such a poor memory; she is still so easily flattered into telling the truth," Jiu Jiu sighed.】

Gu Jiangming and Jiu Jiu unexpectedly reached a tacit understanding here; the two of them had almost arrived at the same consensus.

Nothing else.

Because ten thousand years later, there really were no gods.

The situation that the Black Tortoise spoke of had truly and surely come to pass.

【"Do you two think I am very funny?" The Black Tortoise became furious again, shaking its body as if to express its dissatisfaction.】

【"In the Black Tortoise clan, fifty thousand years old is indeed just a child, but a resume of fifty thousand years makes me a senior worthy of respect in front of you."】

【"I am pointing out the way for you, yet you are actually disrespectful to me."】

【"Senior Black Tortoise is knowledgeable and experienced; a mere mortal like me is truly impressed... truly impressed," Gu Jiangming said in a tone like he was coaxing a child.】

It must be said that what the Black Tortoise said was still very informative for Gu Jiangming; this was indeed important information.

Isn't it just that it likes to be praised? If it needs to be praised, then praise it!

【"You mortal cultivator are not bad, it's just a pity that my lifespan cannot be shared, otherwise I would spare you a few thousand years to serve well by my side," the Black Tortoise was shallow in experience after all, and was very receptive to what you said.】

【"It living a long time is actually useless; it takes a Black Tortoise ten thousand years to barely cross one major realm; it is notoriously dull-witted," Jiu Jiu lowered her voice and said.】

【"You are bad-mouthing me again, Jiu Jiu... don't think I didn't hear you."】

【The sea surface began to shake again.】

【"If you do this again, I am going to get angry."】

【"I am going to carry this person to another place."】

【Gu Jiangming laughed out loud, "That is interesting, how about you and I become friends?"】

【"Friends? Naturally, that is fine," the Black Tortoise asked in a muffled voice, "You speak much more pleasantly than that annoying fellow Jiu Jiu."】

【"From now on, I will ensure that you have whatever you want on this vast ocean."】

【"I will take you to see a god a hundred times more powerful and a thousand times more beautiful than that Jingwei."】

【"Do you know about the Vermilion Bird? That is a great beauty, and she speaks even more pleasantly than you."】

?

Jiu Jiu was originally just fine.

But the Black Tortoise's last few sentences directly blew up her anger level in a casual manner, even though her practice of self-cultivation had reached a very good level by now.

【"If you want to die, just say so."】

【"You should know that you have not yet attained a divine position; in this sea area, I am the true god."】

【As Jiu Jiu's words fell, the Black Tortoise felt a chill all over. Amidst Gu Jiangming's constant praise, she had truly thought she was the Black Tortoise guarding the peace of the four directions. By the time she sobered up from the flattery, it was already too late to stop.】

【Run! Run! Run!】

I updated an extra chapter despite many requests for more.

I really need to sleep now; I will continue to explode with ten thousand words tomorrow when I wake up.
