Chapter 449 Creational Status! The Celestial Venerable Descends! Journey to the Forbidden Divine Kin
Chapter 449 Creational Status! The Celestial Venerable Descends! Journey to the Forbidden Divine Kingdom!
Before obtaining the severed finger of the ancient immortal, Lu Yu always believed that it was his body from his previous life that had fallen into this diseased region due to the taboo against the sun, which caused the mutation.
So when he first entered the field of disease, he was a little apprehensive.
Due to the taboo's uniqueness, no second self can appear. However, if the body from the previous life loses its carrier of consciousness and combines with the power of truth, it is possible to give birth to an extremely terrifying and bizarre life form.
We are about to face a fierce battle!
However, all of these ideas were overturned after the severed finger was obtained.
Because the information it reveals is...
【The Finger of the Primordial Daoist Grandmother (Fake): One of the many imitations created by the Primordial Daoist Grandmother after the anomaly in the Realm of Disease, based on ■■■■ and herself. However, each time its head explodes, one of them is thrown into a historical timeline that has just begun to change, and it promotes the disintegration of the imitation. I wonder how far it will grow.
Once the body is fully reassembled, it will attract the attention of this great being. Please use with caution.
It can be made into evolutionary secret food for the Star, Moon, Truth, and Creation systems, or into skill secret food "Seed of Yin Fu Dao Jing". After consuming it, one can master the Yin Fu Dao Jing, which is inexpressible and unrecordable by mortals, and master the power of Yin Fu.
It can be used as a sacrificial offering, which can be exchanged for interesting items.
[Comment: The pursuit of truth, becoming truth, and then... a terminal illness.]
The information was scarce, but the content it revealed made Lu Yu's heart skip a beat, and he almost immediately returned to the boundary gate to run away.
The term "Primordial Dao Mother Celestial Venerable" is unfamiliar to ordinary people, but Lu Yu, as a mythology enthusiast in his previous life, naturally studied most of his own family's pantheon before learning about the myths of other countries.
In particular, he became interested in this deity after reading about the Eternal Mother in a novel, and what he found out was quite surprising.
Because His divinity is simply... terrifying!
Taoism refers to her as Yuqing Shengzu Ziyuanjun, and she is also the incarnation of Doumu Yuanjun, the lord of all stars, and is called Doumu.
The Dipper Goddess, with her radiant and round moon, is also known as the Nine Spirits Supreme Mystery Central Heavenly Brahma Dipper Goddess.
Doumu Yuanjun is extraordinary. Legend has it that she gave birth to the Eastern Emperor of Gouchen Shanggong, the Northern Emperor of Zhongtian Ziwei, and the Big Dipper. Therefore, she is also known as the Mother of the Nine Emperors, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, and the Holy Mother of Wudang.
If we trace it back further, it is suspected to be a transformation of the Yin Qi of Yuanshi Tianzun, the primordial Yin spirit, and an evolution of Taiyi Yuanjun.
It possesses some of the divine qualities of the creator god!
However, she is most famous as the Old Mother of Lishan in Journey to the West, who was the mother of the three Bodhisattvas and played tricks on the Journey to the West team.
That's right, she was Rongxu's wife, the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang.
Of course, such historical accounts are bound to contain both truth and falsehood, and with the evolution of history and the transmission of information by word of mouth, certain errors will inevitably occur.
But the deity did indeed evolve, from the initial beautiful female fairy to the image of an old woman.
Lu Yu also discovered a very interesting secret: the Old Mother of Lishan was likely related to Nuwa.
Because archaeologists in the past had unearthed the frog totem of Nuwa at the Jiangzhai site in the Yellow River basin, which, along with bird, deer, and Lu patterns, belonged to the four major totem images of Yangshao.
And this happens to be related to the Nuwa customs of Lishan. Most importantly, he also saw from local netizens that the Lishan Laomu Palace was originally the Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa is said to have mended the sky, and the Old Mother of Lishan is also said to have mended the sky in some legends.
Moreover, his mother was from the Huaxu clan, and his elder brother was from the Fuxi clan...
But with so many similarities, it's hard to say there's no connection.
If it were Lu Yu in his previous life, he would only regard it as an interesting secret, but these immortals and gods really exist in the world of illness.
Each deity has a historical background and corresponding authority. The frog totem was later identified as a toad, and the toad corresponds to either the Toad Ancestor or the Moon Palace!
All this is to show that the seemingly chaotic myths actually conceal a mysterious thread leading to the origin, revealing a vast pantheon of deities.
The older, the greater!
They are not powerful because they are ancient, but ancient because they are powerful, existing in every link of the past.
Take control of the source!
The expressive power of the immortals and gods in the realm of illness is more direct than that of the great beings in the realm of beast taming, but the possibility that they are the same person cannot be ruled out.
It's unclear whether the Beast Taming Realm deliberately erased it, or if the Disease Realm was simply like that.
Is this Old Mother of Lishan related to Doumu Yuanjun and Nuwa? Are they sisters? Or are they incarnations?
Or perhaps, it is simply a manifestation of divine power in the same area.
None of this matters.
All he knew was that there was already a scheme involving a Celestial Venerable.
Most people don't have much of a concept of the Celestial Venerable, and just think that he is a great being similar to an evil god.
But you'll understand once you give an example.
The Black Mountain Demon and the Centipede Demon National Teacher, who wreak havoc on the world of Liaozhai, are incredibly oppressive, turning the human world into a prison, causing the desolation of life, and leaving the protagonist team with a slim chance of survival.
In reality, none of them are qualified to compete for supremacy in the underworld. Any one of the eight hundred grass-headed gods is a powerful demon who could crush them with a single step.
If this is the final boss, even a hundred Yan Chixias wouldn't be enough!
The eight hundred grass-headed gods, when facing the Howling Celestial Dog, must respectfully address it as the Sun-Swallowing God. Its master, Erlang Shen, who obeys orders but not summons, must call the two boys from Wuzhuang Temple "Ancestor Qingfeng" and "Ancestor Mingyue".
Of course, some versions of Erlang Shen do not use this character, but they are still considered equals.
In the true Taoist system, the Old Mother of Lishan is on the same level as Zhen Yuanzi, the latter belonging to the novel and the former to mythology.
Think about it, ordinary cultivators go through countless hardships and tribulations to reach the realm of the Supreme Being, and after ascending to the Heavenly Court, they are just ordinary heavenly soldiers. They don't even have the qualifications to besiege Sun Wukong, let alone meet the Heavenly Venerable who dominates the world.
Even with his experience of scheming against the Mother of Twilight, Lu Yu was still terrified. After all, fighting across worlds and meeting her up close are completely different things.
Moreover, the Eye of Truth will display less information, but it is absolutely true. Those four shielding symbols will undoubtedly refer to his past life body, only the information has been hidden by some powerful being.
To be clear, blocking doesn't mean the Eye of Truth is unaware; it's a form of protection. Forcibly spying not only requires a massive amount of spiritual energy but also triggers causality, potentially leading to being targeted.
As long as his current strength is insufficient to deal with related events, this shielding will occur. Yes, this is a protective function derived from a headshot.
Conceptual skills, that's how thoughtful they are!
The arrogant key to truth!
Getting back to the main point, after Lu Yu split up, his soul was reborn in the Beast Taming Realm, while his remaining body was infused with forbidden truths, attracting the attention of the Old Mother of Lishan... or rather, many other great beings vying for it.
This can be seen from the fact that the Old Mother of Lishan attempted to imitate the truth, but was ultimately killed by having her head blown off because of the taboo of its uniqueness.
It wasn't contaminated simply because the subject of forbidden truth has changed to a different world.
However, since his previous body did not initially contaminate the disease realm, but something happened later that triggered this anomaly.
But they are immortal, yet they chose to pollute the entire world of disease. What was their purpose?
Taboos regarding promotion?
Or is it a usurpation of power in the field of disease?
Lu Yu was unsure, but he had a thought.
That is... because of the different advancement systems, with the help of these ancient celestial beings, the ecosystem of truth he needed for his advancement had already taken shape by chance.
Even a true king can only influence a few major domains; no one can directly infiltrate the entire main world like him!
Pathology...is also truth.
Tell me, has it made you stronger?
They just couldn't handle it!
Ha, a pack of greyhounds!
However, the ever-cautious Lu Yu chose to play it safe first, examining the essence of the world. After confirming the existence of Heng'e's reincarnation, Lu Yu made a decisive decision to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
To seize this [pseudo-primordial Daoist body], or rather, the ecological medium of truth contained within it.
So what if I am the Ancient Celestial Venerable? I am still the mortal enemy of the Forbidden Sun and the future Lord of the Gate!
And a series of plans were tailored for this purpose, which have now completely exploded.
Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned slightly, then relaxed, murmuring to herself, "So that's how it is..."
She finally understood some things; if it was that person, everything would make sense.
What shocked her even more was how Lu Yu knew about the Celestial Venerable's plan.
Moreover... he dared to raise his sword against the Heavenly Venerable!
Everyone present looked surprised. As cultivators, they were naturally familiar with the names of powerful figures from all sides.
In particular, although this person is outside the Heavenly Court, he has close ties with the Dipper and the Moon Palace.
"The Primordial Daoist Mother Heavenly Venerable, this is not..." Li Quan was the most shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Because it was originally called the "Stealing Machine Dharma Lineage," it was not originally called this. It originally resided in the blessed land of Mount Li, hence it was also known as the "Mount Li Dharma Lineage."
Besides the patriarch, another deity is enshrined there—the Old Mother of Lishan, also known as…
Primordial Daoist Mother Celestial Venerable!
He steals the secrets of heaven and earth and all things, gathers the energy of all living beings, condenses the innate Dao body, and obtains the protection of the innate primordial Yin spirit.
Later, this lineage declined, and to avoid trouble, it was renamed...
The art of stealing machines!
When Tianlizi appeared in the world, many people discovered this secret, but like Li Quan, they did not take it to heart.
The ancient Shu Mountain also enshrines that Taoist deity, yet there are no Taoist scriptures to suppress its fortune!
"this……"
Shangguan Wan'er, being well-read, naturally already knew this, and looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression.
He himself is a descendant of the Lishan lineage, so why would he want to destroy the body of an ancient immortal from Lishan?
Everyone was also puzzled.
Li Quan's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously looked at her master, trying to find some sense of security, but she saw Li Shan standing calmly in place, his hands hidden in his Taoist robe, his calmness somewhat eerie.
"Who are you?"
The Empress frowned, her gaze sweeping across the room like the moon falling from the sky, transforming into a vast and boundless Milky Way. Even a Heavenly Talisman Realm expert could not withstand this gaze.
Whoohoo!
However, the moment he approached Lishan, he transformed into a gentle breeze, brushing against his cheeks and whipping his black hair into a fluttering dance, adding to his unrestrained and bold temperament.
This guy definitely has something going on!
"Master...Master?" Li Quan's heart sank when he saw this, and his voice trembled.
Li Shan smiled and said, "Disciple, I didn't lie to you, did I? As long as you cultivate diligently, you can become a master of supernatural powers, even great supernatural powers."
boom!
As he spoke, the headless ancient immortal's body seemed to sense the summons, shining brightly and unleashing terrifying power. It broke free from the suppression of the Heavenly Demon God's true spirit and instantly appeared behind him.
The mysterious moon toad pattern emerged, and various strange phenomena gathered on the white jade tortoise platform, unleashing a vast pressure that swept across the world like a tsunami.
"This oppressive aura... belongs to a top-tier supreme being!" Shangguan Wan'er said in a trembling voice.
Such a powerful individual can be considered the pinnacle of human strength!
Even the imperial dynasty's fortune might not be able to suppress it!
The Empress remained calm, curious about what Lu Yu would do next.
Lu Yu looked at him, frowned, and said, "Didn't I ask you if there would be immortals or gods with great supernatural powers interfering in the mortal realm?"
"I'm not lying either. They really didn't take any action because it was the Ancient Celestial Venerable who made the move!" Li Shan said with a smile.
"You're playing word games too?" Lu Yu gave him a disdainful look, but he had already guessed it.
Previously, the Eye of Truth saw a bunch of question marks on the other party, so it was a clear indication of their intentions.
Lishan is also known as Lishan!
Historically, Li Quan did indeed receive the true teachings of the Old Mother of Lishan and wrote the Yin Fu Jing, thus becoming a great cultivator. It's unexpected that later generations recorded so many events, revealing much of the truth ahead of time.
At that moment, Li Quan stared blankly at her master, with bloodshot eyes, and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Master, tell me, this isn't true, okay?"
He couldn't believe that his master, who taught him to save the world from its afflictions, was the mastermind behind all this turmoil.
"Foolish child!" Li Shan shook his head, glanced at the remnant body of the Innate Daoist Heavenly Venerable behind him, and simply stopped hiding it, saying, "All of this was planned by your master for you. He personally divided your body into five parts, stirred up the greed of the Crimson Feather Roc, and shielded the secrets of heaven so that he could steal a finger."
The so-called Eastern Japanese lineage was also arranged by me, so that you could condense a first-grade Dao seed between life and death and comprehend the Lishan Dao Scripture.
If the body of an ancient immortal cannot be intact, it cannot escape this realm. Instead, it will exacerbate the spread of disease. When that happens, the empress's reign will bring backlash, the country will be shaken, and demons will emerge, revealing the true nature of the disease realm to you.
The four major lineages and the imperial dynasties are all your tribulations. As long as you overcome the hardships and dangers, undergo trials and tribulations, and trample them under your feet, you can comprehend the body of an ancient immortal and condense the divine power of the Yin Talisman.
Furthermore, Heng'e, the reincarnation of the goddess, slays a dragon amidst the faith of the masses, condenses the seed of the cursed moon, and condenses the seed of dual supernatural powers.
Although the Heavenly Court is in trouble, it presents an unprecedented opportunity. Once one advances to a higher level of supernatural power, one can ascend to the Moon Palace and enjoy immortality. Isn't that a wonderful life?
The words had barely left his lips when they caused a huge uproar!
Everyone looked on in shock, and even the Empress looked solemn.
I never imagined... that this world and its countless creatures were merely pawns arranged by the other party to train their disciple.
By following the established procedures, a great supernatural power was created!
"Heaven is round and earth is square, based on Yin and Yang... Heaven and earth do not belong to all things, but all things exist because of heaven and earth. Yin and Yang do not produce all things, but all things are produced because of Yin and Yang." Li Quan's voice trembled with sobs as she recited the scriptures, her eyes red, and she said hoarsely, "Master, have you forgotten? We should uphold the Way of Heaven and act in accordance with Heaven, instead of letting all living beings fall seriously ill and leeching off them..."
"I am the heavens." Li Shan interrupted him, his tone calm, without arrogance or boasting, simply stating a common sense.
None of the people present jumped out to refute this.
Because the Ancient Celestial Venerable has the qualifications!
Li Quan was speechless, becoming utterly dejected. Deep within his soul, a crack appeared on the newly formed seed of Dao, and he stumbled outwards.
They demonstrated their attitude through their actions.
Li Shan watched him leave quietly, without trying to stop him.
The path of life is inherently cruel!
Seeing the scene of the master and disciple breaking off relations, Lu Yu asked curiously, "Are you really the Old Mother of Lishan?"
The Celestial Venerable's emotions are far too abundant, aren't they?
"I am Him, but He is not me," Li Shan said calmly. "It was only because He wanted to see what changes would occur in the body of an ancient immortal that the cause and effect of this world intertwined, and thus I was born!"
As he spoke, the ancient immortal behind him raised his hand and waved it.
boom!
The vast magical power swept out, directly knocking the golden laurel tree back. Even the Empress groaned, her face losing some color.
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed nervously.
The Empress remained calm.
At this moment, thousands of laurel leaves fall, draping the world in a silver veil, but hidden within is a deadly trap!
Li Shan looked up at the moon, reached out and picked up a few laurel petals, his expression nostalgic: "Since the moon's strange change, it's been so long since I've smelled the fragrance of laurel blossoms. It truly makes me miss it..."
The murderous intent contained within the laurel silently vanished, then turned into moon mud, quickly slipping away through one's fingers.
With a casual strike, the Empress was repelled!
"So, you're not even a thought of the Ancient Celestial Venerable?" Lu Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was somewhat strange.
"Though I am but a reflection, it is more than enough to deal with you, a demon from beyond the realm..."
Before he could finish speaking, a radiant giant hand appeared before his eyes!
The ancient immortal body reacted instantly, raising its hand and forming a hand seal. One after another, Yin talismans appeared, and the divine beast on the throne of the Divine Beast roared and pounced out.
It possesses a vast and overwhelming killing power, enough to shatter mountains and rivers!
The Yin Fu Divine Power – The Divine Xie Technique!
At that moment, fifty thousand pure white roses appeared from the void, reflecting a sacred garden far removed from the world.
The Garden of the Last Emperor!
boom!
The moment the two collided, all 50,000 pure white roses developed cracks and were on the verge of breaking.
But a great sense of crisis arose in Li Shan's heart.
"Oh no!"
However, by then it was too late for him to leave!
One after another, the redemption roses shone, reflecting the attack just now. The shield countered and shattered the phantom of the Divine Xie. Then, the countless arms of light directly grasped Li Shan. The enormous force made his bones crack and break like firecrackers.
Li Shan tried to struggle, but was pierced by a Death Cavalry Lance and pinned in mid-air, where it continuously drained his life force.
"How... is... this possible?"
He struggled to open his eyes and saw the paper knight in front of him burning with the blazing fire of the sun, having entered the form of the Apocalypse Titan, like a demon god on earth.
"you……"
Li Shan tried to speak, but the Redemption Bible slammed into his head with a loud bang, instantly deforming his skull. The excruciating pain contorted his face, and he heard the Paper Knight's deep, angry voice:
"You dare to be arrogant before my lord even if you are not an ancient celestial being? You have violated the virtues of chivalry. Although you are a Taoist... it's almost the same. I will grant you salvation. Next, I will let you feel the weight of knowledge, see the error of your ways, and bask in the light of salvation."
After saying that, the Bible of Redemption was smashed down again and again, plunging Li Shan's mind into chaos, leaving him with only one thought.
You call this redemption?
How can he be even more twisted than that Heavenly Venerable who saves people from suffering?
boom!
The pseudo-innate Daoist's remnant body tried to react, but dense, deep red energy spread from its body. The Crimson King Demon Seed suppressed its power, and although it reacted quickly, it annihilated and eradicated the energy.
Click!
But in that brief moment of delay, he was pierced by the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear and locked in a dark room, unable to access the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the power of the Great Dao. His supernatural seed fell into dormancy.
Only the body remained struggling, but the hundred arms of the Heavenly Demon God waved and quickly used physical means to imprint the laws of heaven and forcefully suppress it.
This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned!
Previously, Li Shan had acted so invincible, displaying an air of divine power, but in the end…
He was instantly defeated by Lu Yu in a single exchange?
Such a stark contrast made them feel as if they were in a dream.
Is Li Shan too weak, or is Lu Yu too strong?
"It's alright, hard work can make up for lack of talent."
Lu Yu offered a kind word of comfort, which left Li Shan speechless.
However, he didn't care. If it were really a Celestial Venerable's thoughts, he would still be somewhat wary.
Now that I've successfully advanced, and with the help of the rat's pre-arranged methods in the Ancient Immortal's Body, as well as the god-level tank Paper Knight, if I still can't beat them, I might as well go home and farm.
"I underestimated you..." Li Shan's head was deformed and looked bloody, but his gaze remained calm. The deep red currents flowing in the sky intertwined with the night, and no communication spells could penetrate them.
It turned into an isolated island!
This was the preparation Lu Yu had been working on for several days. He had the rat send out clones to travel all over the world, temporarily shielding this diseased area with the power of darkness, thus disrupting the heavenly order.
In this way, even if Lu Yu kills him and seizes the body of the Innate Dao Mother, it will not directly attract the attention of the Ancient Heavenly Venerable.
These great beings had only a fleeting thought, and it was already an endless period of time. By the time they realized it, they had already taken their belongings and retreated back to the Beast Taming Realm, concealing their merits and fame.
Even Li Shan didn't expect that the other party had been targeting him from the very beginning.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
However, just as Lu Yu was about to extract it as material, the moon in the sky suddenly dimmed, and the whole world became dark.
A blurry figure appeared in the sky.
He was surrounded by endless divine light, countless celestial children appeared, playing mysterious Taoist chants, and sacred celestial maidens danced gracefully, spreading boundless radiance that pierced through eternity.
Even though Lu Yu was not afraid of pollution, he could not see its specific appearance. Just by getting close, the concepts of time and space were distorted. It was as if it had slowly walked out from ancient times. Countless golden lotuses carrying different diseased domains spread out from its radiance, surrounding the spiritual light of the Great Heavenly Treasure Moon and emitting boundless light.
Mortals cannot describe His greatness; even bearing His memory would be a disaster.
Although they couldn't see it clearly, everyone could feel that He...
He seems to be sick!
And the illness is very serious!
"The Primordial Daoist Grand Venerable, how is this possible!?" The Empress, who had remained calm throughout, finally lost her composure.
Unlike the Beast Taming Realm, where royal power is superior to divine power in the mortal world!
In the realm of sickness, even those with great supernatural powers can only bow their heads and remain humble when they see the Celestial Venerable.
But if He clearly concealed the secrets of Heaven, why did He still come?
At the same time, Li Shan raised his head, grinned, but his expression looked particularly ferocious:
"Unfortunately, your cleverness backfired. From the moment Li Quan condensed his Dao Seed, the Yin Fu Dao Scripture, with its causal connections, already knew. What good are your sophisticated methods of concealing heavenly secrets? Among so many disease domains, your concealment of heavenly secrets only makes you more conspicuous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu blasted Li Shan and Dao Lao's bodies to pieces, extracting them as material.
However, the figure in the sky remained completely calm, without using any powerful spells, simply extending its hand to grasp the entire diseased domain.
At this moment, the world wailed, as if it would be crushed if He exerted even the slightest force.
Countless people knelt on the ground, pleading for the mercy of the gods.
Countless cultivators looked on in despair, sensing that death was imminent.
"Did we lose?"
Even the Empress could sense that this place was sealed off, turned into a cage, and she could not escape at all. She couldn't help but sigh.
It's truly laughable that such a powerful being was reduced to a tool for the ancient Celestial Venerable to teach his disciples. However, it's fortunate that he didn't die in a muddled way.
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Yu, only to see this extraterrestrial demon holding his century-old golden laurel wine. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"To drink the wine of the underworld together before death, how dashing!"
As he spoke, he prepared to take a sip, but Lu Yu slapped his hand away. Feeling the Empress's questioning gaze, he said calmly:
"Who wants to die with you? Do you remember what I promised you?"
The Empress was taken aback, remembering Lu Yu's condition for exchanging the body of an ancient immortal, which was...
Come back home!
"What do you mean?"
Her home is on the eternal moon!
Lu Yu did not answer. Looking at the ancient god who had dominated the world, he picked up the wine pot, gulped it down, and then hugged the empress tightly.
He ignored the other party's murderous phoenix eyes, took out a golden bagpipe, put it to his lips, took a deep breath, and played the [Chapter of the Moon] he had seen through the Eye of Truth.
"Now, let me take you back to the moon!"
Waaah—
The sound of bagpipes echoed, ethereal and mysterious.
The once dim, ancient moon shone brightly at this moment, even overshadowing the radiance of the Celestial Venerable, causing Him to pause for a moment.
According to ancient legend, by drinking the golden laurel wine and playing a specific lunar melody, the ancient messenger of the forbidden moon will arrive and lead the guest to…
The Dark Side of the Moon!
