Chapter 1158: Chapter 240: Rise, Ning Zheng’s Mount, Breakthrough to Immortal Venerate!

The projection replica of the Time Tomb equates one day to a hundred years.

In the last century of this Time Ancient Tomb, Jiumu Qing and her mother, Jiumu Immortal Venerate, spent over thirty years together.

They returned to the initial beautiful era.

Her mother guided her through growth, and into youth, watching sunrises and sunsets together.

They warmed by the campfire on the desolate plains, indulging in joy, dreaming of the future.

They shared all beautiful aspirations, becoming a pair of worthy mother and daughter.

In these thirty years, Jiumu Qing’s tense expression gradually relaxed, until this twilight.

A vast and majestic aura exploded forth.

Jiumu Qing, originally a prodigy, finally took that final step today, transitioning from Half-Awakened to Awakened.

Crash!

The evening sky was tinged with golden edges by the sunset, and countless clouds expanded.

The young Jiumu Qing returned to the timeline of her earliest childhood, watching neighboring children jump rope, her mother calling her home for dinner from the window.

The child sitting on the steps watched while the elderly sat under trees to cool off, and children selected skipping ropes.

Little us, growing up slowly...

Suddenly, at this moment, time felt like a very slow thing.

"So that’s how it is..."

Jiumu Qing gazed distantly at the clouds covered sky, "This is all I ever wanted, yet my life seems like a predetermined fate, a predetermined beginning, a predetermined end, the blessings granted by the gods upon birth are nothing but shackles..."

Crash!

The black Three Flowers on the Top swayed above her, grandly permeating the surrounding time and space.

The sky of the whole world rapidly darkened, becoming a darkness even deeper than night.

"Today, I finally know I am who I am."

Jiumu Qing smiled brightly, countless metallic glimmers gathered again, transforming into a golden mythic giant over ten thousand meters tall.

She felt as if walking on a sunset beach, having finally glimpsed the essence of the River of Time.

Standing by the river, she quietly watched the flowing River of Time, unable to hold back her roaring laughter, grabbing the neighboring painter, Jiumu Immortal Venerate.

"You, are mine!"

"You!" Jiumu Immortal Venerate’s eyes widened, unable to imagine her daughter daring to lay hands on her.

"My true heart... isn’t to have a real mother, but the mother I dream of." Jiumu Qing couldn’t help but laugh maniacally, "Even if you are fake!"

At first, she didn’t understand.

But after living for decades, how could she not recognize the truth?

Yet she chose not to expose this lie, drowning in her own dreams, in a beautiful and sweet slumber.

And at this moment, she finally saw through her own obsession.

"It’s not the real Jiumu Immortal Venerate I desire, but you, the Jiumu Immortal Venerate I envision in my heart."

She shed her ferocity and darkness, the black Three Flowers on Top blossomed with dark luster, and her aura intensified step by step.

"Come, mother, follow me to reality, I will defeat that exalted real mother, and personally support you to ascend to that supreme throne, crowning you."

Today, I finally know I am who I am, everything has awakened, and everything is now clear.

Jiumu Immortal Venerate, the painter: "You!?"

She didn’t know she was fake, as if seeing a madwoman: Are you crazy?

Jiumu Qing grinned, gently stroking her mother’s face:

"The child you raised is already dead! Now I am just a madman who wants to break the world line."

"What River of Time, indeed needs to be shattered, all of it must be broken!"

"Xian... did well! He is the true hero, riding on the River of Time, wielding a single halberd to sever the [past] at its source, hahahahahaha!"

She laughed crazily, her smile filled with malice and ferocity, not realizing tears streaming down her face. She laughed lowly,

"The past, is dead."

She looked far into the sky, suddenly expressionless, "Beyond the Time City Gate, the future has endless possibilities."

...

...

Sword Casting Manor.

"Tsk tsk."

In the manor’s courtyard, Ning Zheng quietly watched all this, the protagonist indeed, tenfold stronger when blackened, living out a second life? Finally comprehending her true nature?

The Ghost Kings of this world, many are madmen.

Mother controlled her whole life, and now she is to manipulate her mother’s life?

Yet, this era of the multi-dimensional River of Time looks beautiful.

In reality, whose life manipulated by constant traversing doesn’t go mad?

"She has already discovered the false painter, but I also didn’t think she wouldn’t."

Ning Zheng softly said, "What of true or false? Just hope to become the catalyst in her heart, letting her know what she’s living for, who I... truly am."

Having spent 200 billion in savings of the Sword Casting Manor, most of the reserves, just hoping for her to realize: Today, I finally know I am who I am.

He recalled the other mother-daughter pair observed previously in the State City of Nine-State Xinyi State.

That daughter, who betrayed the Sect’s female Sect Leader, lived a muddled life, became a Ghost King, awakening inner obsession, merely wanting... to die.

Ning Zheng suddenly seemed to comprehend, softly saying: "Human obsessions, are like a great mountain, cementing a person into an eternal scroll."

"But the obsession itself, is also a living anchor, a unique characteristic credential of the person."

He no longer thought too much.

His gaze fell on the hundred Dharma Aspects beside him.

"Now, the arrangement is finally complete, our Xirong Manor, with Immortal Venerate overseeing, no longer fears certain people tracking my external Dharma Aspects, we can let the Dharma Aspects reveal themselves..."

"They have already almost stolen from both sides, soon to face life and death escape, escaping the replica of the prehistoric tomb, riding a boat, returning through the Time City Gate."

Crash.

A hundred shadowy Dharma Aspects swiftly rose, transforming into a massive black curtain emerging outside, until they disappeared.

"Time’s about up." Ning Zheng safely hibernated for a month, also watched the mountains of corpses and seas of blood outside for a month, without taking action.

Because the replica of the prehistoric Time Ancient Tomb, he always felt there was a problem, dared not enter, no matter how many opportunities there might be.

Who knows what might happen after entering? Being cautious is always good, even if cultivation speed is slower, after all, having been beaten by society repeatedly, he’s now aware those exalted existences, none are simple characters.

In the words of the blacksmiths, this is a dark-style Immortal Cultivation worldview.

But this replica has finally ended, about to take action.

He wants to send his hundred Beast Tamers to block the exit of the closing replica.

He wants to receive his successfully returned Immortal Venerate Beast Tamer, then kill off Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate who likely "suspects" him, creating a heaven-shaking turmoil.

For a faction, with or without an Immortal Venerate, are two completely different levels!
