Cultivation through Skin Making - Chapter 814 282: The Unification of the Three Realms, Preaching the Dao and Ascending to Emperor (Finale, Part 2)
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and said, “You have entered here by taking advantage of Saint Xi’s curse, but now that you’ve entangled with my cause and effect, leaving will be difficult.
I was originally struggling as well, because I had lost the power of my remaining lifespan, and as a flawed saint, I could never escape. Once I leave this realm, He would find out instantly and come to stop me from afar.
I was still pondering how to break free, but now that you’re here, the two of us can be considered a complete saint… Today, you should first cultivate the ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture.’
The maid of the Qiu household eavesdropped on our affair. Once the mistress arrives, both of us will be burdened by the heavy cause and effect of mortals, which is perfect for cultivating the ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture.’
Once we achieve great success, we can quickly leap out of this place.”
Song Yan asked, “Why are the Three Saints monitoring you?”
Qiu Lianyue replied sincerely, “Although I am only half a saint, I still qualify to claim a position in the Three Realms. If I remain here, the Three Saints will surely think I’m trying to gain benefits without effort.
The positions in the Three Realms consist of the heavenly, earthly, and human positions, totaling just three places.
Once you’re seated, others have to move.
And as soon as one holds one of these positions, their power’s influence can directly expand to encompass a whole realm.
The Sword Domain, Demon Mountain Domain, and North-South Star Realm together don’t even amount to a single realm.
Truly speaking, it requires the Three Thousand Worlds.
This is why foreign saints, even when united, can only fight on equal terms with a saint who controls the complete positions of the Three Realms.
Unfortunately, even though the human and earthly positions have the two figures Nuwa and Houtu, the latter two have long been shattered and beyond repair, making the current situation complex…”
Upon hearing this, Song Yan fully understood.
He now realized why Qiu Lianyue had not used saintly means in Jin Land before, willingly enduring the twists and turns of a mortal life. It was to acquire the power to cultivate the ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture’ while waiting for the right opportunity.
Now, cultivating together, they could use this power to obscure the search of the Blood River Saint, allowing them to escape the lockdown and change their path.
This was Qiu Lianyue’s plan.
After the explanation, Qiu Lianyue directly took out a Jade Scroll.
Song Yan received the Jade Scroll, and with a thought, he integrated its contents into his Divine Sense.
The vast text unfolded in his mind, yet each character was extremely tiny, like looking at ants on the ground from a hundred meters away as a mortal.
The more he tried to discern the tiny ants, the more his head spun.
Clearly, this ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture’ was a power far beyond the Profound Yellow Fourth Realm, something he couldn’t read at his current level, and thus he couldn’t even access the Heaven-Reaching Wisdom.
Just then, a chuckling voice came from the side.
“I forgot, Brother Song is only at the Profound Yellow Fourth Realm, unable to practice it.
But I have a technique that can aid Brother Song.
This technique is called the ‘Yin Yang Dust Dao,’ the top Dao Companion Magic Technique of the Three Thousand Worlds, allowing one to choose only one person for life. Once chosen, both Dao Companions can share their power.”
Qiu Lianyue blinked her bright eyes and said, “Brother Song, at this point, I wish to become your Dao Companion, and so you can cultivate this ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture’ even at the Profound Yellow Fourth Realm.
Establishing a Dao Companion requires mutual willingness. Brother Song, I am deeply in love with you. How about you?”
She stared intently at Song Yan.
At this moment, hurried footsteps and the sound of the maid trying to block someone came from outside the courtyard.
“Madam, Miss is still resting.”
“Move aside!”
“Everyone, move aside!”
Song Yan glanced in the direction of the main door; this interruption by the mortals provided him temporary relief, as the Seventh Saint, aiming to use the ‘Red Dust Barrier Scripture’ to obscure cause and effect, could not display power in front of mortals, lest years of intricate plotting be ruined instantly.
Becoming Dao Companions and sharing power?
Only a fool would agree.
Yet, in the next moment, an abrupt change occurred.
The footsteps outside the door, the blocking voices, scolding voices, even the sound of the four winds, rustling leaves, chirping birds, and the bustling streets all fell silent.
The soft flame from the carbon stove in the corner froze in mid-air; the swaying lantern under the eaves halted abruptly…
On the street, the butchers, fish markets, banks, government posts, and gangs, as well as all passersby, were frozen…
A lotus appeared unannounced in this vast world.
Cyan Lotus.
The lotus had thirty-six petals.
All things paused, and time and space stood still.
Qiu Lianyue looked at the only person who could still move in this world, Song Yan, and gently said, “No hurry, take your time to think.”
Seeing Song Yan’s gaze on the jade lotus floating in the void, she added, “This is my Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Chaos Cyan Lotus, able to resist all laws, break all worlds, and stabilize time and space; if a petal is burned… it can reverse time and space.
Brother Song, if we became Dao Companions, you could use this item too; even if you can’t, I can use it for you, such as forming battle armor around you, thus… you can charge through the universe without worrying about being unable to withstand attacks beyond the Profound Yellow Fourth Realm.”
Song Yan looked at the terrifying cyan lotus and then sensed the presence of Qiu Lianyue in front of him.
This seemingly harmless young lady still wore a gentle smile, yet she… indeed wielded the power of a saint.
“Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth find value in pairs, a lifetime with a partner is what I seek.”
Song Yan spoke firmly and then concluded with, “The fruition of the Dao should naturally be shared with the lady.”
Jokingly, Qiu Lianyue could easily crush a cultivator of the Profound Yellow Seventh Realm and instantly freeze time and space. He wouldn’t cross her lightly.
For things one has to endure, Song Yan would often welcome them with a smile, not taking unnecessary risks. He’d agree passionately at first, then find a way to drag things out, and plan slowly afterward.
