Chapter 1359

Heaven Prayer Continent, Heaven Mending Sect.

On Dragon Rising Peak, thick clouds covered the peak.

On the Black Stone Altar at the peak, a whirlpool of black fog slowly rolled, as if it had infinite gravity.

In the middle of the whirlpool, an old head with a distorted face floated helplessly. The hair in front of his forehead had already fallen off, and the long white hair behind him was also messy. He was motionless, like a statue.

After an unknown period of time, the head's slightly closed eyelids suddenly trembled and opened, revealing two pupils, one black and one white. The color of the white was like the belly of a fish. It was obvious that he was blind.

He raised his eyebrows with difficulty, and with his remaining eye, he tried to look upward.

There, a long branch of a peach tree with luxuriant foliage suddenly swayed. A thick spiraling cloud spun down from the sky, brushing past it and landing under the peach tree outside the altar.

After the cloud dispersed, a middle-aged man with a jade-like face, thin eyes, and a long beard emerged. He was still wearing a loose white robe, and his body was still sitting on the wheelchair that seemed to be carved out of white jade.

"Fellow Gu, you have already asked for a divination before. Why have you come again?" The old head spoke, his voice extremely hoarse.

The man in the wheelchair was none other than the Time Daofather, Gu Huo Jin.

"Chen Tuan, the Bodhi Banquet is about to begin. I am somewhat uneasy. I need to ask for another divination." Gu Huo Jin straightened out the golden tassels hanging from his waist, placed them at his side, and said slowly.

"I have merged with the Heavenly Way, and am only separated by this divination. If I ask for a divination, I will definitely be devoured by the Heavenly Way. What you have promised me will be meaningless to me." Chen Tuan spoke in a tone that was neither too fast nor too slow.

"This matter does not only concern you and me. Once it is done, it is equivalent to raising the Heavenly Way by three feet. From then on, it will no longer oppress people like us who stand on the peak of the mountain. Are you not afraid that without this divination, you will fail on the verge of success?" Gu Huo Jin's expression did not change, and he asked calmly.

When Chen Tuan heard this, his old and distorted face became even more tangled. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"This divination involves too many Tao Ancestor cultivators, and too much destiny of the Way of Heaven has been mixed in. It has already surpassed the Heaven Divination's Heaven's Inquiry. I can't take all of it, so I can only divine half of it. The results will depend on the Will of Heaven," Chen Tuan said after a while.

"Sure." Gu Huo Jin didn't think too much about it and nodded.

Ancestor Chen Tuan didn't say anything else. Instead, he started chanting.

Since he didn't have a hand to form a seal, it took twice as long as the last time. Only then did the remaining eye slowly light up with a ray of crystal light that shot forward and into the void.

…

After a long time, the crystalline light suddenly withdrew, and the space gradually returned to normal.

The void vortex behind Ancestor Chen Tuan suddenly surged violently. Strands of black crystal lines extended out from it. Like insects crawling on his cheeks, they submerged the half of his face that was still intact.

In an instant, the dark light on that half of his face surged and dissipated like dust. It also turned into a whirlpool of mist. The Dao Ancestor of a generation of prophecy was now only left with this blind half of his face and the half of his head behind it.

"How is it?" Gu Huo Jin looked at the scene in front of him and frowned slightly.

"In half of the divination, the situation is fine. But at the watershed, there is an unforeseen event … It is an anomaly." The remaining half of Chen Tuan's face opened and closed. His voice was a little erratic.

"Anomaly?" Gu Huo Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ancestor Chen Tuan did not speak, but the hair on the back of his head suddenly danced. A gust of cool breeze blew past the back of his ear, circling around that ancient peach tree of unknown age, and rolled down hundreds of beautiful pink petals from it.

All the petals fell to the ground and condensed into a tall figure on the ground. Wave-like light rippled on the figure, and there was a faint fluctuation of the Law of Time.

Gu Huo Jin's wheelchair slowly moved forward and stopped near the shadow of the petals.

"Han Li." He carefully looked at him for a moment, leaned back in the chair, and spat out the two words softly.

"Even the Samsara Temple Master can't escape fate. He is the only variable in this Bodhi Banquet." Ancestor Chen Tuan's hoarse and fleeting voice echoed slowly in the void.

"Hehe, since you've predicted it, then it's not a variable.

I'll handle it myself. It's a battle of the Great Path. "Gu Huo Jin said with a self-deprecating smile, his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair.

In his view, even if Han Li had reached the pinnacle of the cultivation of the Law of Time and was only one step away from him, in terms of the exploration of Dao, Han Li was far from his. The battle between them could not be considered a battle of the Great Path.

"That's good. It's safe now …" Ancestor Chen Tuan said slowly.

Gu Huo Jin waved his hand and dispersed the figure formed by the peach petals in front of him. Clouds and mist began to condense under him.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed. For some reason, a smile appeared on his face.

"The Heavenly Court has an honored guest. It seems that I have to go back and welcome him. It seems that I'll have to leave the task of eliminating this variable to someone else," Gu Huo Jin said.

"It's better for you to deal with the variable yourself," Ancestor Chen Tuan advised.

"Will one Ten Thousand Immortals Formation be enough?"

Gu Huo Jin only left this question, which was not really a question. His figure had already risen into the sky and disappeared under the support of the rising clouds.

Ancestor Chen Tuan sighed faintly and closed his eyes out of habit.

The ancient peach tree that was four years old swayed gently. For a moment, flowers fell one after another, as if it was raining flowers.

…

Dongsheng Continent, Central Plains Immortal Realm.

On a vast and boundless sea, there were countless large and small green islands scattered like stars in the sky. Only a few hundred miles away was the easternmost coastline of the Dongsheng Continent.

The coastline of the Dongsheng Continent was different from the uneven reef coastline of the Northern Continent. The coastline of the Dongsheng Continent was mainly sandy, and the lines were more gentle. It looked like the curve of a woman's back, winding and gentle.

The two islands closest to the coastline occupied the largest area of all the islands. On each of them stood a white jade pillar that was tens of thousands of feet tall. The pillars were densely carved with auspicious cloud patterns, extending all the way into the clouds high up in the sky.

Through the thick white clouds and mist against the blue sky, one could see the top of a three-story decorated archway. In the middle of it hung a huge vermilion board, on which the words "Yintian Gate" were written in golden seal script.

This was the Eastern Heavenly Gate of the Central Plains Immortal Realm.

At this moment, inside and outside this magnificent Eastern Heavenly Gate, there were nearly a million soldiers. All of them were Heavenly Soldiers dressed in gold and silver armor.

Behind these Heavenly Soldiers, every hundred miles or so, stood a Giant Spirit Immortal General who was hundreds of thousands of feet tall. His upper body was naked, and he held a giant axe that could split the sky. Each of them glared angrily in front of them.

In the void thousands of miles away and on the islands below, there were also hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers with weapons in their hands.

However, compared to the Heavenly Court's side, the armor on these soldiers was not uniform and looked a little messy.

Outside of these armored soldiers, there were many people of different races standing on the surface of the sea. Their figures moved up and down along with the waves, and in the depths of the sea beneath them, one could vaguely see huge shadows slowly swimming about.

Behind this army of armored soldiers, there was a spirit boat of different sizes and shapes. Instead of floating in the air, they floated on the surface of the water. The complicated talisman inscriptions engraved on the body of the boat lit up, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to accumulate spiritual power for the boat.

In the center of these spirit boats, there was a huge dark red spirit boat. There was a huge three-story palace built on it, and the square in front of the palace was densely packed with people.

Among these people, the leader was a tall man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. He was none other than the Samsara Temple Master.

"Temple Master …"

At this moment, the people behind the Samsara Temple Master cupped their fists and bowed at the same time, as if they were respectfully sending him off.

"Everything goes according to plan," the Samsara Temple Master turned his head slightly and ordered the crowd.

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

Then, the Samsara Temple Master no longer looked at the crowd. With a flash of conveyance light, he flew out of the army and headed straight for the Eastern Heavenly Gate.

When the Heavenly Court's army stationed outside the Eastern Heavenly Gate saw this figure approaching, a commotion broke out. Everyone held their weapons and prepared for a great enemy.

However, when the Samsara Temple Master arrived outside the Eastern Heavenly Gate, he did not intend to force his way in. Instead, he stopped and floated in the air.

Several Immortal Generals in the Heavenly Court's army looked at each other, unsure of what he wanted to do.

"What?

Didn't Gu or Jin invite me to the banquet?

Now that I'm here, is this how you welcome your guests? "the Samsara Temple Master asked with a smile.

His voice couldn't be considered to be loud, yet it carried an indescribable penetrative force. It was like a resounding bell that resounded in the depths of the sea of consciousness of every single soldier of the Heavenly Court, causing their hearts to sway and souls to tremble slightly.

However, the Samsara Temple Master did not intend to use this method to inflict serious damage on the army. He only wanted to ensure that his voice would reach the ears of those who were meant to hear it.

In the middle of the Dongsheng Continent, there was a very inconspicuous white Taoist temple in a continuous mountain range. It was hidden in a dense and lush forest.

In a three-story library in the Taoist temple, a middle-aged man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe was reading a green book. From time to time, he would frown deeply. It seemed that he was studying it very carefully.

The man had a thin face, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a long beard. He did not look very elegant and handsome, but he had the demeanor of a Taoist Immortal.

After flipping through the book, he could not help but stroke his long beard. When he was excited, he would nod repeatedly.

"I didn't expect to have such an encounter … Unfortunately, the path of immortality is always so easy for these secular people. If they fall off a cliff, they can pick up ancient books of immortality. If they enter the deep mountains, they can obtain divine weapons. If they explore the deep valleys, they can learn from experts. If they enter the ancient temples at night, they can be welcomed by beautiful ghosts. After all … they are too optimistic," the thin Taoist murmured to himself.

After saying that, he put down the scroll in his hand, and the pages closed automatically, revealing the title page with the words "The Legend of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" written on it. However, it was not a secret book of martial arts, but just a fantasy written by a common man named "Wang Yu" at the foot of a mountain in the secular world.

At this moment, the thin Taoist suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Here it comes …"

(Fellow Taoists, happy Spring Festival. Auspicious Year of the Rat!)
