Chapter 559: A Thought of Yu Yu Changsheng and Freedom

The location where the Heavenly Origin Divine Gourd appeared was already outside the East Sea territory, in the outer sea. The seawater here was boundless and deep, as deep and pure black as a deep pool. Compared to the East Sea, which was not much different from the previous life, it was clearly another world!

Because the laws here were not stable, even the starlight from the ancient Heavenly Realm projected here would be disrupted, failing to form the Three Enclosures, and making it even harder to distinguish east, west, south, and north.

Therefore, it was a desperate place for mortals and even cultivators with slightly poorer cultivation, hence it was also called the Chaotic Star Sea or the Profound Sea!

"Legend has it that the Profound Sea's water is deep and bottomless. The deeper you go, the less the seawater looks like water. Some people say this Profound Sea is not a sea area, but like the void, another world."

Feng Feng Yangzi saw Brother Qian Chen gazing at the Profound Sea with great interest, leaned to his side, and smiled slightly.

This place was about ninety thousand miles away from the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect. Even at the speed of a Soul Transformation True Person, it took nearly a month to reach the boundary between the East Sea and the Chaotic Star Sea.

Looking at the distinct black and blue sea water boundary, Brother Qian Chen felt that this legend might not be without reason. Even the sun, moon, and stars of the Earth Immortal Realm were projections of the Starry Sky of the ancient Heavenly Realm. Brother Qian Chen was ten percent sure that it was not the planetary structure of the previous life, but not a round heaven and square earth, but another more mysterious existence.

The Earth Immortal Realm had had nine provinces since ancient times, and successive continents had sunk. Great powers had spent immense magic power to raise the continents again, which could not be explained just by continuing tradition.

Immortal Qin, Heavenly Zhou!

The two great divine dynasties and immortal dynasties that conquered the outer realms of the Earth Immortal Realm had both gone to great lengths to raise continents. If Brother Qian Chen didn't believe there was a secret in it, he wouldn't be Brother Qian Chen. The nine provinces of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Chaotic Star Sea before his eyes, and the nine heavens of the ancient Earth Immortal Realm—all these things involved the structure of the Earth Immortal Realm itself and must contain great secrets.

As one of the heavens, the Earth Immortal Realm was also called the Great Wilderness in ancient times.

Legend has it that during the ancient war of gods and demons, the Chaos Realm was beaten into three pieces: Heaven, Earth, and Man!

Heavenly Realm, Great Wilderness, Nine Heavens!

The Earth Immortal Realm was the Great Wilderness of the human realm. After countless years, even the history of the Daoist sect could not be considered long. This ancient world buried countless secrets. Whether it was during the time of the Five Insects rebelling against heaven or the time of the Demon Clan resisting the Five-Colored Divine Court, they had to occupy the Great Wilderness to have the strength to counterattack.

Its status was evident!

As one of the heavens, the Earth Immortal Realm had a profound foundation. The few words passed down by the Supreme Louguan Dao also mentioned that even when the Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi proved the Dao, the Earth Immortal Realm had played a great role.

In some ancient maps collected by the Supreme Louguan Dao, the structure of the nine provinces was even more mysterious.

Some were layered like a tower; some had eight continents arranged, suppressing the Central Lands of the Divine Province like a lotus flower; some were like nine huge altars suppressed by nine tripods; and some were even nine boundless continents, forming a huge starship, sailing in the sea of the heavens.

Each remnant map was extremely ancient, revealing a very grand momentum and mystery!

Brother Qian Chen recalled some extremely distant memories in the Dao Dust Pearl. At that time, he seemed to be held in someone's hand. That person looked back and took a complete look at the Earth Immortal Realm.

And that look was already blurred, but the lingering rhyme of a certain eternal and terrifying power could still be recalled bit by bit.

He was lost in thought for a while before opening his mouth: "The secrets of the Earth Immortal Realm are really too many. Many secrets are too ancient to be peeked at by us. This Chaotic Star Sea is one of them! Its bottom leads to the Return to Ruins and is bottomless. What the Return to Ruins is is hard to say, and even how big this Chaotic Star Sea is and where the other eight continents are are all mysteries!"

"As far as I know, even the Penglai Continent, which has the closest connection to the Divine Province, can only communicate with the Central Lands through the shipping lanes left by the Immortal Qin!"

Speaking of this, Brother Qian Chen smiled again: "This shipping lane is also on the Chaotic Star Sea, but there are three islands of Penglai lying in the middle, so that Penglai Continent has a way to come to my Central Lands, while my Central Lands have no door to go to Penglai. This is really worrying!"

Cloud Crane True Person's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly opened his mouth leisurely on the Frost Feather Crane: "Oh? Why is the Fellow Daoist worried?"

"Penglai has always been peaceful with my overseas, with no dealings. On the contrary, the Central Lands have plotted against overseas for thousands of years, with many frictions! If we overseas cultivators want to be free, why must we get involved?"

Brother Qian Chen smiled without answering. The East Sea was originally part of the Central Lands, but after the Immortal Han, the Central Lands lost control of overseas several times. Now that they have returned, even if they are uncomfortable, they can only endure it.

"As long as Shaoqing is still there, overseas will ultimately be part of the Central Lands! However, even the East Sea, which is closest to Shaoqing, has such serious xenophobia. It seems that most overseas cultivators have formed their own faction and no longer view themselves as part of the Central Lands!"

Brother Qian Chen sighed secretly in his heart: "The direction of people's hearts!"

But with just one sigh, he sneered in his heart: "What if the hearts of the people are directed overseas? In this world where divine abilities manifest, all living beings are just morning mushrooms that don't know the beginning or end of the month! The Earth Immortal Realm has had billions of years of spring and autumn, and even the few great immortal dynasties have had ten thousand years of luck. In comparison, even these Soul Transformation cultivators are just a group of cicadas!"

"Without achieving longevity, one is ultimately an ant!"

Looking at the boundless Chaotic Star Sea, a thought suddenly emerged in Brother Qian Chen's heart.

Since his rebirth, he had always been determined to be free in the world. Only at this moment did he have a sense of the changes of the ages, and a sense of longevity and long vision in the endless river of history!

Below on the Profound Sea, a group of giant sea loaches a hundred feet long were playing.

Their strong bodies set off waves of dozens of feet. A black shadow broke through the waves, opened its giant mouth full of sharp teeth and roared. Just looking at the momentum of that black shadow, stirring the sea water and setting off waves like a dragon, but it was scaleless and armorless, sticky and slippery. But just relying on the strength of this body, it was not inferior to a Core Formation cultivator. It was the overseas exotic species, the giant sea loach.

This thing had low intelligence, though it had a strong blood energy, it could resist Core Formation cultivators, but its intelligence was not even as good as the nest of foxes Brother Qian Chen saw at the beginning, so it didn't count as a demon beast.

This group of giant sea loaches had about thirty or forty, occupying the Profound Sea, treating the thousand miles around as their playground!

Several people were all Soul Transformation Venerables, so they didn't take these giant sea loaches to heart. Although this body was majestic, any one of them could kill all these giant sea loaches in less than half a day. Therefore, they still drove their cloud heads and magic treasures, leisurely flying over the heads of this group of giant sea loaches.

The giant sea loaches also ignored these 'ants' flying over their heads!

Only a melodious and vicissitudinous long chant suddenly came from the pitch-black Profound Sea. This sound was unhurried, with a unique leisure and freedom of a creature without natural enemies.

Hearing the long chant, the group of giant sea loaches was instantly in chaos. All the giant sea loaches set off waves, hurriedly diving toward the depths of the Profound Sea.

At this time, a huge meat fin broke through the sea, like a mountain or a mountain, reaching the sky and the sun, directly reaching the height of the group's flight.

The fire cloud-driving Fire-Haired True Person's face changed, and even the Frost Feather Crane under Cloud Crane True Person became uneasy.

Immediately, a giant mouth that seemed like an abyss opened beneath that group of giant sea loaches. The giant mouth covered a hundred miles, simply able to swallow a small mountain in one bite, swallowing ninety percent of the giant sea loaches.

He cast talisman after talisman, which fell on the immortal vine gourd, and continued to refine it.

"Ancient Kun fish!" Fire-Haired True Person said with difficulty.

Cloud Crane True Person also had some emotion: "Legend has it that the Long Gong sent people to raise giant Kun, but I think it won't be this kind of ancient pure breed, but some kind of hybrid, otherwise at least they would have to send a group of Soul Transformation cultivators to herd the giant Kun!"

Hidden Mountain True Person also smiled bitterly: "This beast is too large and a bit clumsy. It should be unable to do anything to us Soul Transformation cultivators, but even if a Soul Transformation cultivator strikes with all his might, he can't hurt it!"

"That goes without saying..."

Feng Feng Yangzi said disdainfully: "Even if all the people on this trip strike, as long as we don't invite a spiritual treasure, we can't kill this fish! At most, make it slightly injured! Legend has it that in ancient times, this kind of Kun fish appeared in the East Sea. I really don't know how the mortals at that time went to sea!"

Brother Qian Chen's voice came from below. He sat on the head of the Kun fish and laughed loudly: "The scenery of the outer sea is really magnificent!"

The Kun fish seemed to notice this dust falling on its head, excitedly flapping its giant tail, setting off waves of hundreds of feet, and its body slid forward, carrying Brother Qian Chen into the Profound Sea...

Brother Qian Chen in the gourd used this magic power to refine his own Primordial Taiji gourd in one breath to the perfection of the thirty-six heavenly gang prohibitions, and only stopped after achieving the prototype of a magic treasure.

Brother Qian Chen danced and sang loudly. He was carried by the Kun fish and rushed into the sea surface, instantly submerging into the deep sea. The massive amount of sea water brushed past him, and the surging tide rolled up billions of tons of sea water.

Just in an instant, the Kun fish carried him to a depth of hundreds of miles under the sea, and then from this depth, slapped its giant tail, gathered billions of tons of sea water, and two meat fins like giant wings gathered the sea water under its body, borrowing the huge counter-pushing force, and leaped out of the sea surface.

Brother Qian Chen rushed out of the deep sea at an incredible speed in an instant. The endless sea water separated before him. He almost broke through the sea water at an unbelievable speed. Before the splashing sea water fell, he saw large pieces of cloud sea appearing under his line of sight, having already leaped into the blue void!

The giant body of the Kun fish glided above the blue void, like a continent in the sky, like a divine mountain or immortal island in the cloud sea.

After speaking, he reached out and beckoned. The mouth of the gourd on the immortal vine opened wide, emitting chaotic-colored light, and sucked all the disciples who had been plotted against and had no power to resist into it.

"Hahaha..." Brother Qian Chen opened his arms and laughed loudly in the wind.

The Kun fish sitting below also let out a high-pitched long chant. For a time, the barriers in his chest were all gone, and he temporarily threw all the calculations of this trip to the back of his mind.

Looking at the group of Soul Transformation cultivators below scrambling to urge their sword lights, even the always pretentious Cloud Crane True Person, that Frost Feather Crane let out a scream, flapping its wings in panic, feathers flying everywhere!

Brother Qian Chen looked up at the firmament and whispered: "Cut off the clouds, carry the blue sky... soar straight up... ninety thousand miles!"

"A thought of longevity and freedom in one's life!"

"Do not fail the Great Dao and the blue sky!"

He sat on the head of the giant Kun fish, as if sitting on the peak of a mountain, looking up at the boundless and vast firmament. How could it not make people give birth to a heroic ambition to be free in heaven and earth!

But just after being free for a few breaths, Brother Qian Chen felt the lifting momentum reach its highest point, and turned to fall downward, instantly tearing through the cloud sea and falling.

He looked down at the Kun fish body that covered his entire line of sight, and suddenly let out a miserable scream!

Then he followed the Kun fish and smashed heavily into the Profound Sea. In an instant, the surging sea tide, like the giant force of carrying ten or eight water-attribute magic treasures, struck head-on...

Even so, the excited Kun fish still wanted to dive down, preparing to fly a big one. Brother Qian Chen hurriedly comforted it with his divine sense, fearing that it would smash itself and him into serious injury! ===== CHAPTER 560 =====

True Person Kuiming respectfully bowed to the gourd, then bowed to Brother Qian Chen, and said: "I have seen the Gourd Xie Xie Zushi, I have seen the Great Bright Venerable of the East!"

Brother Qian Chen pointed outside and said: "Go and deal with your master! Don't worry, the Venerable will let him come to accompany you sooner or later!"

A trace of hatred appeared in True Person Kuiming's eyes, and he said coldly: "As the Venerable said, we served him without any negligence, yet we ended up like this! Being able to enter the Venerable's eyes and obtain the creation of the immortal gourd is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life! It's really cheap for this person!"

The other Primordial Spirit cultivators also sneered, but with one flip of the gourd, one-third of the Changming Sect's strength became Brother Qian Chen's people, which made Feng Feng Xianzi, who was watching from the side, feel cold all over.

Brother Qian Chen looked at him and said: "Old Daoist Feng Han Xian, do you want to reincarnate with the help of this gourd?"

Feng Han Xian smiled bitterly and said: "What does the Daoist friend mean?"

Brother Qian Chen shook his head and smiled: "I naturally cannot let the Daoist friend be like these people, becoming Dao soldiers and Dao slaves, and after death, their souls have to return to my gourd to reincarnate!"

"However, that Dragon Fourth Prince raised two ignorant spirit fetuses, and their aptitude is also good. Among them, the male one can be reincarnated by the Daoist friend. With the help of the creation here, it is like reincarnation, and the spiritual flesh fit is not comparable to others!"

Seeing Feng Han Xian's hesitation, Brother Qian Chen waved his hand to release the two spirit fetuses and smiled: "Why? Could it be that the Daoist friend is dissatisfied with his previous identity and is preparing to be born as a female fetus this life? This is not impossible. It just so happens that I can teach the Daoist friend the Dao method of the Ice Soul Guanghan Pill, and the Daoist friend can continue to guide He Qi! Wouldn't it be wonderful for master and apprentice to contemplate the Great Dao of Taiyin together?"

Feng Han Xian smiled bitterly: "Daoist friend, don't be so teasing. This old Daoist has a big beard! I can't bear it!"

Brother Qian Chen put away his smile and said seriously: "Daoist friend, reincarnation is a trick of the maze of the womb. Although it is a disaster, it also contains the supreme principles of heaven and earth. If the Daoist friend still cannot let go of the various entanglements of this life, even if you reincarnate into this spirit fetus, the one who lives again is just Feng Feng Xianzi, which is no different from seizing the house."

"Only by letting go of the past and picking up the present life can you be reborn and cut off the entanglements of the past!"

Feng Feng Xianzi stared at the spirit fetus and sighed: "So, if I reincarnate into the spirit fetus and be reborn through this..."

"Feng Han Xian is already dead! The one who lives again... Hmm! Do you want me to rename you, Daoist friend?"

Brother Qian Chen held the Yellow Ruyi and smiled.

"If I am born from the gourd, according to the tradition of my Daoist sect, shouldn't I be called Huzhongzi? No, Hu and Hu are homophones. If I am born from a gourd, then I am the direct descendant of Xie Xie Zushi Qiongquan, and I am in the same rank as Xie Xie Zushi Huxuanzi! Although I want to understand the various causes and effects of Feng Han Xian, I still can't bear this!" Feng Han Xian sighed, always unable to forget the old things.

"In the end, it is hard to forget this life. If you want to achieve the Dao, you must go through a death disaster, and even lose this spirit fetus!" Brother Qian Chen saw his thoughts clearly.

But he had no intention of speaking, only smiling evilly: "I will give birth to you for the Daoist friend. Why don't you follow my surname, Daoist friend?"

This kind of joke about being your father is not as taboo among cultivators as it is among mortals and aristocratic families. Feng Feng Xianzi smiled and said: "Surname Brother Qian?"

"No, surname Li..."

Brother Qian Chen waved his sleeves and said: "Name Xiao Xie Xuan!"

True Person Feng Han Xian didn't know why, but hearing this name suddenly touched his heart, and he said: "Surname Li, it is rumored that the Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi is surnamed Li! Name Xiao Xie Xuan, it is said that when the three Dao Ancestors opened up the immortal path, they did not distinguish between good and bad, and passed down the cultivation methods. At that time, Dao and Demon were not distinguished, and God and Buddha were mixed, so immortal cultivators were called the Xiao Xie Xuan Sect!"

"The name Li Xiao Xie Xuan is almost the direct descendant of the Daoist sect. How can I bear it!"
