Chapter 219: Chapter 123: Immortal Dynasty Mends the Heavens (Part 2)
Under the tree, a tombstone, a young man, silk paper.
All fell into silence.
Time passed.
After another stroke fell on the silk paper, the brush stopped, but the character being written remained incomplete, the paper was laid flat, and after a few breaths, it was lifted again, but instead of continuing the previous writing, it began anew, writing different words.
In the space of these Mountain and River Fragments, no sun or moon could be seen, and the sky remained unchanged.
Under Qin Jin’s attention, as time passed, no new words appeared on the white silk paper, which was then rolled into a cylinder and flung towards Qin Jin as if thrown.
During this process.
The form of the white silk paper changed, reverting to the appearance of a jade pendant.
Qin Jin reached out to catch it.
The words “Celestial Cyan” emitted a faint light; at the moment it was held in his hand, Qin Jin distinctly felt the Celestial Cyan Pendant become somewhat heavier.
Holding the jade pendant, he looked up above the tombstone and spoke once more.
“Senior, could you reveal yourself?”
As these words fell.
Above the tombstone, brilliance flowed, and a phantom image appeared.
It was a woman, clad in a long dress, sitting barefoot on the tombstone, with a thin veil covering her face, leaving only her brows and eyes visible.
This visage, Qin Jin recalled vividly.
It was none other than the Jade Fairy, Celestial Cyan Princess, the owner of this tomb, Ji Lianxing.
Her brows were like a painting, her eyes like stars, as if truly reflecting the galaxies; at this moment, her gaze was gentle like water, looking at Qin Jin.
Not long ago.
The new words on that white silk paper were clearly written by her.
The phantom image before him was undoubtedly in a different state than the image left in paintings of the past; as Qin Jin pondered on what to say, a melodious voice resounded ahead.
“Future seeker.”
“It was my fault for speaking out of turn.”
“You’ve truly found me in this later era, but unfortunately, in this state, I can no longer provide you with great fortune; what I can offer is only this pendant.”
Her voice was melodious, entering one’s heart, making one feel as if basked in the spring breeze, refreshed and at ease.
Qin Jin thought of the scene of writing on the paper and spoke, “Senior, you jest.”
“I have yet to find the Imperial Capital, nor count as having fulfilled the promise within the pendant.”
As these words fell.
A gentle laugh echoed.
Qin Jin hesitated briefly, then spoke, “Senior, your current state?”
“Merely an image left from long ago, devoid of power, now reappearing in the world when triggered.”
“A passing geese leaves a sound, water leaves a trace; since you have cultivated my left method, you will understand it is not difficult to leave some trace in heaven and earth in the future.”
She sat upon her own tomb, now slightly lowering her head, looking at the tombstone below: “You’ve managed to find this place and trigger my image, it seems… the Celestial Cyan no longer exists in the world.”
“What a pity.”
She uttered ’pity,’ yet no sorrow appeared on her face; Qin Jin even saw a slight smile on her face.
Meeting Qin Jin’s gaze.
“Future seeker, I can tell you have many doubts in your heart.”
“This image of mine was sealed here many ages ago, being triggered now, I’ve indeed missed many worldly matters, some things unknown.”
“But for some doubts, I can help you resolve them.”
Her tone was calm, harmoniously conversing with Qin Jin.
Perhaps, reaching such a realm and status, she cares even less about these matters.
Listening to her words, Qin Jin felt a slight stir in his heart and spoke: “Senior, my question might be a bit offensive.”
“No matter.”
“You mentioned earlier the image was sealed here.”
Qin Jin’s gaze landed on the tombstone below her: “Do you mean, before you perished, you had already erected this stele?”
“Indeed.”
Ji Lianxing gently nodded: “To achieve great deeds, one must embrace the resolve to die, thus can proceed unstoppably, and accomplish the mission.”
“This image was prepared for later seekers like you.”
Her voice was calm: “If I hadn’t perished, I could have personally met those who triggered the secret realm in the future, if I perished, it would leave an opportunity for later generations.”
Qin Jin nodded understandingly.
He held the Jade Pendant, and upon approaching this fragment, it naturally sensed him and guided him here.
Thoughts swirling, Qin Jin summoned the information he had previously acquired and said in a deep voice, “I once heard about Ancient History through some channels.”
“It is said that in the distant ages, first the sky cracked, producing an unusual phenomenon, and then after experiencing a great catastrophe, the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty disappeared without a trace.”
“Elder…”
“What exactly did the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty do?”
After saying this, Qin Jin listened intently.
“A great catastrophe, hmm.”
Ji Lianxing smiled faintly, “It is quite fitting indeed.”
“What is called ’sky cracking’ likely refers to a mutation in the heavens and earth.”
Ji Lianxing’s sleeve waved, a water curtain appeared, and within the water curtain, a scene was reflected.
In the scene, the sky presented an unusual phenomenon, with a fissure running through Extreme Heaven, to the corner of the sea, deep and unfathomable, with crimson spreading around its edge, containing terrifying horror.
Ji Lianxing’s phantom leaped down from the stele, bare feet touching the ground, a gentle voice sounding, “A vast world is also a whole; after the mutation in heavens and earth, a gap was born, within which divine wonders began to gradually dissipate, and the world itself would no longer be extraordinary, until completely declining.”
Saying this, she paused slightly, “Since you have cultivated the Technique I left behind, you should know that the cultivation techniques of Celestial Cyan Cultivators are deeply interconnected with the heavens and earth.”
Qin Jin nodded.
The Dao Foundation is forged using the exotic treasures born within the world as fuel; Spirit Ruins and Grotto Heaven are essentially created by mimicking the mysterious lands within the world.
Besides…
According to the Enlightenment Stele, some Celestial Pride individuals can even draw the native treasure of the heavens and earth when they are born.
It can be said that Celestial Cyan Cultivators have an extremely close relationship with the heavens and earth.
Ji Lianxing’s voice lingered, “Magic techniques are deeply connected with the heavens and earth; true Celestial Pride individuals grow and don’t know how much resources it costs.”
“Yet, Celestial Cyan Cultivators still rise, my Immortal Dynasty dominates the world, because in the early stages of cultivation, cultivators consume the resources of the world, but if they ascend to the High Realm, the growth of Celestial Cyan Cultivators can also aid the birth of more divine wonders in the world!”
“In ancient times, those Elder Sages who established the path of cultivation for the Human Race, allowing the Human Race to rise all at once, hid great wisdom; cultivators and the heavens and earth helped each other, forming a balance, the world became increasingly extraordinary, and the Immortal Dynasty thrived, creating such a splendid scene.”
“Until the mutation in heavens and earth.”
She looked at the scene constructed beside her.
“When I was left as a shadow here, I wasn’t yet aware of the reason for this mutation.”
“It might be the climax leading to decline, because it reached the pinnacle, the heavens and earth gave birth to mutations, or strong enemies from beyond used nefarious means, but as of today, all this no longer matters.”
“After the mutation in heavens and earth, the balance between human cultivators and the heavens and earth was broken.”
Ji Lianxing sighed slightly, “You should know what this means.”
Qin Jin silently nodded.
“Afterwards, came what you call the great catastrophe.”
Ji Lianxing’s tone was calm, without ripples, “If the heavens crack, then we repair the sky; if the earth lacks, then we fill the earth.”
“We Celestial Cyan Cultivators have never lacked the courage to fight.”
“Brother Huang ordered, gathering the power of the Immortal Dynasty, to cast the Divine Cauldron, rally the top human experts and the sacred lands, esoteric sects, to recreate the sky!”
“Since you’ve obtained the Jade Pendant, you should already know my identity.”
“My Brother Huang was the reigning Saint Emperor of the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty at that time, Ji Long Court.”
“He always had great courage and resolve; the mutation in heavens and earth seemed a crisis to ordinary people, but to him, it was also an opportunity.”
“Some things are hard to change when complete, but when regrouped in brokenness, it is possible to rejuvenate with New Life, moving further forward.”
“The Celestial Cyan Divine Casting Cauldron, bringing together the power of the Immortal Dynasty, not only aimed to repair the heavens but also to seize this opportunity to allow the vast boundless world to move further forward, to help the heavens and earth ascend, so that such scenes of mutation never appear again, solving it once and for all.”
“If the heavens and earth successfully ascend, my Celestial Cyan will certainly benefit immensely, and such gains would be immeasurable.”
Qin Jin listened silently.
The information heard formed an image in his mind.
To repair the sky, aid the ascent of heavens and earth.
This indeed signifies great courage and resolve.
Thinking of the tombstone in front, even Princess Tian Cang had the will to die before the action, showing that under great courage, great danger is also hidden.
Then because of the mutation in heavens and earth, the balance was broken, the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty in danger, prepared for the ultimate leap.
Thoughts flashed in his mind.
Qin Jin softly said, “Ultimately… did the Immortal Dynasty fail?”
The response was Ji Lianxing’s unfolding gentle smile.
The Princess’s smile was infectious; if others had seen it, they would not help feeling joy.
“We succeeded.”
