Chapter 460: Personally Participate; I Look Down Upon the Ages (3k, Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Yu Ke looked at the changes happening on the great cauldron again.
The characters on it appeared.
【Facing this matter, you decide to...】
1. End the Heavenly Human Reincarnation and obtain all the experience accumulated in this life. (Hint: May have an impact on the future.)
2. Continue the Heavenly Human Reincarnation. (Hint: May have an impact on the future.)
3. Personally participate. (1/3) (Hint: May be beneficial to the future.)
4. Can deduce the future once. (1/2)
Yu Ke finished reading the four options above at once. The best solution is to choose.
3. Personally participate. (1/3) (Hint: May be beneficial to the future.)
But the incident of being imprisoned by the Master using the God-Startling Formation at the Flower Banquet last time is still fresh in his memory.
Now things are bizarre, and if he participates personally again, it is a bit risky.
His gaze turned to the last option.
4. Can deduce the future once. (1/2)
While Yu Ke was hesitating, the great cauldron trembled slightly, and a warmth flowed through his whole body.
"Dang—"
A vast and ancient aura surged from the depths of his heart sea, like a chaotic torrent from the beginning of the world, carrying the domineering pressure that suppressed the ages.
Yu Ke smiled lightly, roughly understanding the meaning of "A-Ding."
Mere common people, at worst, he can destroy the world with a flick of his finger.
After personally participating last time, Yu Ke felt that the "Kunxu Cauldron" seemed to have upgraded again, adding a new function to the options.
Its power also upgraded again.
Moreover, a long time ago, this cauldron seemed to have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth.
The cauldron gestated a universe, carrying a cosmos.
Since that's the case, with "A-Ding" as a backing.
He didn't hesitate and chose directly.
3. Personally participate. (1/3) (Hint: May be beneficial to the future.)
Yu Ke closed his eyes. There was no dizziness like last time, nor the discomfort of crossing time and space.
It was just as easy and comfortable as walking into his own living room and pushing open a door.
Yu Ke opened his eyes again, only feeling as if he were stepping on solid ground.
He saw a simple small courtyard.
He looked back, and the parasol tree in the courtyard had lush branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows in the setting sun.
The autumn wind blew, rustling, it was indeed lush and green!
He himself was standing at the door.
Facing him, Parasol was pulling Lady Ruan walking over, and behind her was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a jade-like temperament.
Parasol greeted with a smile, "Young Master, this gentleman said he was looking for you, so I brought him here."
Yu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had returned to before the event happened, even the words were the same.
Yu Ke looked at Parasol's bright eyes and white teeth, and she was indeed becoming more and more watery, compared to when he saw her during his first personal participation.
Lady Ruan was holding a lotus leaf chicken in her bamboo basket, steaming with fragrance.
Just for a moment!
Yu Ke watched Parasol and Lady Ruan being frozen, Parasol's smile froze as it appeared.
The wind in the courtyard stopped, and the fallen leaves hung in the air.
It was the same as the "Heavenly Human Reincarnation" simulation just now!
The difference is.
The great cauldron in Yu Ke's heart sea rang, and his whole person was completely unaffected.
Yu Ke simply put his hands in his sleeves, stood at the door, and his gaze landed carelessly on the middle-aged Confucian scholar at the end.
This Third Master of the academy!
Unlike the gentle and elegant one just now, the middle-aged Confucian scholar was facing a formidable enemy.
Then, he smiled again.
"Unexpectedly, we would meet in this way?"
"I am Chen Liang, fortunate..."
The Third Master bowed, but the last two words didn't know how to address him.
The last two words rolled between his lips and teeth, but ultimately could not be spoken.
This academy master who had read all the classics couldn't find a suitable title at this moment to face this existence before him.
Yu Ke just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky. The clouds slowly separated into two distinct sides.
The crack in the middle became larger and larger, and there were already heavenly phenomena.
Unlike the last personal participation, this time he seemed to have an indescribable feeling.
He seemed... capable of destroying everything!
With just a thought, the world would be like a bowl of water on the table, which could be overturned at will.
Just for a moment!
This thought of destroying the world was washed away by a supreme clear Qi, and a calm Qi rose in his chest.
Countless causes and effects of the future flowed in his heart, making him suddenly realize: this kind of power can only be exerted during this great calamity.
In ordinary years, even with heaven-reaching power, it is difficult to interfere in the slightest.
"Could this great calamity be the nourishment for the Kunxu Cauldron?"
Yu Ke came back to his senses again, and when he looked at the Third Master again, there was no emotion, only the detachment and indifference of looking at mosquitoes on a bonsai across a flowerpot.
The Third Master's back was already quietly soaked. He finally completely withdrew from the identity of "Xie Guan."
The two are not the same!
He looked at the young man in front of him again, not as a person, but as a feeling of looking up at the starry sky in the desert at night.
Vast and boundless, eternal and unchanging, deep and vast!
The Third Master exhaled and said, weighing his words, "The Master said that the will of heaven is too high to be guessed, but the common people, gathering into rivers and seas, can also conquer heaven, so he set up the God-Startling Formation, attempting to imprison heaven."
"The Fourth Master said that heaven and earth are impartial, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and people should imitate them. Human nature is inherently evil, and one should imitate heaven and earth, seizing creation for oneself."
The Third Master smiled, "I don't know what these statements sound like in... your ears? Is it a laugh, or not enough to laugh."
He changed the subject.
"When I was young, I asked my teacher, in this vast world, is there a power that transcends all things and controls the destiny of all living beings?"
"Now I know, ten years can see the withering and flourishing of grass and trees, a hundred years can sigh at the beauty of red faces and white bones, the twilight of heroes, a thousand years can witness the rise and fall of dynasties, and ten thousand years can observe the shifting of stars."
Chen Li Xian didn't know when his bent waist slowly straightened, and he raised his hand. A parasol leaf suspended in the air fell into his palm.
He said slowly, "Using the withering and flourishing of a tree to peek at the heaven and earth of millions of years, is it like a frog at the bottom of a well."
Yu Ke lowered his eyes, watching the fallen leaf flowing in the Third Master's palm.
Only to see the withered yellow leaf veins gradually fade away the dead silence, regaining vitality, turning into a tender green new leaf.
Thus repeating, withering and flourishing, finally returning to the original appearance.
The Third Master's eyes were complex, and he suddenly heard a long voice coming from the opposite side.
"I look down upon... the ages!"
Chen Li Xian showed a bitter smile, finally realizing that he used the logic of mortals to try to guess the existence that transcended the long river of time, which was truly a frog at the bottom of a well, overestimating his own strength.
The Third Master's expression was solemn, and he bowed and said: "Therefore, Chen Li Xian is willing to sacrifice himself to enter the game and drop half a piece for heaven."
After speaking, the fallen leaf in his hand became more and more green and dripping!
Yu Ke saw this, lost in thought!.
Above Above Bianjing City, a hideous crack was spreading in the firmament.
Thunder exploded, shaking the entire city, and fierce winds swept through the entire street.
"The Old Heaven is angry!"
On the long street, the common people knelt down one after another, touching their foreheads to the ground.
The old woman hugged her grandson tightly, her trembling fingers constantly counting prayer beads, and the merchants threw down their goods, kowtowing repeatedly to the cracking sky.
The entire Above Bianjing was shrouded in panic.
West of the city, there was a tavern called "Small Saint Manor."
Inside the three-story building.
"Recorded in ancient books for three thousand years, the sign of heaven tilting, the scene of heaven cracking, today... finally appears in the human world!"
"It is also the scene when Ancestors Lu Chen and Lu Yu ascended back then."
A voice without waves in an ancient well, when speaking the last few words, the voice had a few more ripples.
The speaker was a tall, crane-haired, childlike-faced old man in a Daoist robe, his hair combed meticulously.
Holding a whisk in his hand, his features were strange and ancient, his eyebrows were like electricity, and he had great majesty.
If there was someone familiar, they could recognize that this person was one of the Ten Great Sects of the World, Daoist Dongxuan.
Lu Hua was also in the room, watching the fierce wind outside the window, the sky as if cracking.
She was surprised in her heart, it seemed faster than the ascension two months later—what happened, and what pushed the opportunity for ascension?
The old man's tone was gentle, "Hua'er, what did the young man say?"
Lu Hua turned and bowed, "Back to Martial Uncle, Xie Guan seems... to want to go his own way."
Although Daoist Dongxuan was not in the position of Heavenly Master, he was a Martial Uncle to Lu Hua in seniority, so she had to call him Martial Uncle.
Daoist Dongxuan waved his whisk and sighed, "It's a pity for such a good seedling for Daoist cultivation. With this kind of talent, he has already achieved success in just one year. If he had entered the gate of Mount Zhongnan, the Daoist school would have flourished for another thousand years."
He showed regret, "If it weren't for the Ascension Platform opening too early, he hasn't grown up yet, I would have thought that like Ancestor Lu Chen, he is a destined person of heaven."
"However, it doesn't matter. This time the Three Truths have laid out for a thousand years, finally waiting for the time of ascension."
There were two other people in the elegant pavilion.
One was the female Daoist Lu Lu Ruyun whom Xie Guan had seen in the small courtyard. At this moment, she was standing with her head bowed, only daring to peek at the elders with her peripheral vision, looking respectful.
The other was an old Daoist nun sitting on a grandmaster chair, about seventy years old, her figure hunched like an ordinary old woman, only the light occasionally flashing in her eyes revealed extraordinary cultivation.
"Senior Sister," Daoist Dongxuan turned to the old Daoist nun, "This time entering the capital, I only brought a few disciples, the rest of the brothers are waiting outside the city."
Lu Lu Ruyun's heart froze. There seemed to be only one person who could be called Senior Sister by Daoist Dongxuan.
Two sixty-year cycles ago, before the Demonic Master and Master Master Lianchi entered the Jianghu, the "Daoist Xuanwei" who was already famous in the world.
The person most admired by the female Daoists of the Three Truths.
The Xuanwei Fairy who traveled east from Mount Zhongnan back then didn't know how many Jianghu men's souls she had haunted.
It is rumored that the high-ranking monk of Tianlong Temple who broke his vows and moved his feelings was her, and the beauty in Master Master Lianchi's heart was her.
The master of the current "Li Li Qingdi," who is second in sword arts, is also her.
This female Heavenly Master before Lu Hua quietly abdicated after the Li Lu Qingniu incident, and passed the position of Heavenly Master to Daoist Dongxuan.
The Jianghu all rumored that Daoist Xuanwei had long since passed away on Mount Zhongnan to break through the realm of the world's great grandmaster. Who would have thought that this person was still alive!
The old Daoist nun nodded, "You did the right thing. We Three Truths do not interfere in the cause and effect of the Red-Eyed Army, just wait for the final Ascension Platform to open."
"Moreover, regarding ascension, juniors with low cultivation should not interfere, it will only bring disaster to the fish in the moat."
"No matter who ascends in the world, it doesn't matter, but there must be a place for our Three Truths."
"It's just a pity that the Ascension Platform is not in the Great Sui, otherwise there would be a few brothers who could take action in the Tomb of the Living Dead."
Lu Lu Ruyun was surprised in her heart. Two great grandmasters of the world were already the foundation of the Three Truths, and there were actually ancestors in the Tomb of the Living Dead?
Dongxuan asked, "What about Lu Qingniu?"
The old woman sighed, "This concerns the major event of the Three Truths' three-thousand-year layout, call him back!"
"Allow him to see the ancestors after death!"
Lu Lu Ruyun's eyes lit up after hearing this.
