Chapter 1293 - 1179: Making a Bridal Gown_3
He addressed his two disciples.
Two men stepped forward. Mo Quan, dressed in an opulent black robe, exuded the grandeur of a noble, embodying the Silent One’s lust for power.
Mo Shi, on the other hand, was a handsome youth. Around his neck hung a dense necklace made of human bones, symbolizing the Silent One’s other peculiar obsession—necrophilia.
The two immediately rose and departed.
“Now, five Lamps of Origin have already been lit…”
The Dark One gazed coldly toward the Forbidden World and said:
“When all nine Lamps of Origin are lit, then his realm will completely collapse… The Flame Universe Array will activate!”
Their eyes gleamed with unbridled anticipation!
Meanwhile, behind them, the Silent One was biting the tip of his tongue incessantly.
“So hungry… I have this strange urge to eat someone. If my two senior brothers allow me just one bite, that would be perfect…”
A thought born of instinct surfaced in his mind. But the moment it appeared, even he was frightened by it. He hurriedly pinched himself hard!
…
Not long after, Mo Quan and Mo Shi appeared in the Forbidden World.
“Where are we headed?”
Mo Shi asked with a faint smile.
Mo Quan replied:
“Countless ages ago, the Tai Yin Empress and Ancient Sun Emperor sought to enact the Creation Ritual atop Taiji Mountain in the Kunlun Holy Realm, but we crushed their efforts.”
“Now, their successors wish to continue down the Path of Creation. They will surely choose Kunlun Holy Realm. We just need to head there directly.”
Mo Shi nodded and then asked another question:
“Do you know about the contingency plan our master mentioned?”
When the Tai Yin Empress and Ancient Sun Emperor perished, in order to prevent future threats, plans and traps left by the Dark Firmament had been set in motion!
Mo Quan smiled faintly and said:
“Do you know why, despite the deaths of the Tai Yin Empress and Ancient Sun Emperor, both the Kunlun Holy Realm and Taiji Mountain remained intact?”
“Heh, in order to walk the Path of Creation again, one must guide Immortal Seeds into Kunlun and Sacred Origin into Taiji. But… when the Immortal Seeds are planted and the Sacred Origin flows into the mountain, what they create will not be the Pure Land they seek… but rather, a living hell!”
“And I will be the master of this hell. The hell forged by the Sun and Moon Emperors will become the ladder upon which my ambitions ascend!”
He thirsted for power, cultivating a technique called “Heaven-Manipulating Technique.” The so-called Heaven-Manipulating Technique was to seize dominion over all of heaven and wield control over all authority.
The Path of Creation pursued by the Sun and Moon Emperors was nothing more than preparation for his rise to supremacy. When they finally create a world of their own, that world shall fall under his control.
Through this means, he would ascend to the pinnacle of the Heaven-Manipulating Technique and, at its apex, glimpse the True Meaning of Silence.
This was the very reason the Silent One had sent him here.
Mo Shi nodded and grinned as well, saying:
“You aspire to reign over heaven’s authority, but I… merely seek dominion over heaven’s corpses.”
“All kinds of corpses… My Corpse-Storing Pagoda will be filled to the brim this time!”
…
At this moment.
In the Forbidden World.
Above the Immortal Land.
The Immortal Land was a world of its own, teeming with countless Immortal Seeds sprouting under the veil of immortal light and shimmering rainbows.
At Immortal Cloud Peak, the highest peak of the Immortal Land.
The people of the Divine Moon Emperor’s Court had already arrived at this place.
“Set up the array!”
Zhou Mingshi shouted, saying:
“Take your positions and hold the Array Flags!”
“Activating the array atop Immortal Cloud Peak will open a passage connecting this place to the Kunlun Holy Realm, allowing the Immortal Seeds of the Immortal Land to flow into Kunlun!”
—The Divine Moon Emperor’s Court had dispatched teams not only to the Immortal Land but also separately to the Kunlun Holy Realm, where another array was being set up.
The two arrays complemented each other, drawing Immortal Seeds into Kunlun!
Immediately, eighteen core disciples activated their Array Flags!
Meanwhile, Zi Ling was engrossed in painting. This time, her technique was peculiar.
Both her hands painted simultaneously!
In her right hand, she held the Phoenix Feather Pen, sketching various Immortal Seeds scattered across millions of li surrounding Immortal Cloud Peak.
In her left hand, she cut a strand of her hair, weaving it into a brush. She rapidly replicated everything her right hand had drawn — she even bit her fingertip, using her blood as ink!
Both hands moved in concert, her brushstrokes fluid as running water.
A fine bead of sweat appeared on the tip of her delicate nose!
Unnoticed by anyone, with every stroke of her brush, grass blades, trees, flowers… from the millions of li surrounding her seemed to be imbued with an unseen force, drawn into the world she was crafting with the Phoenix Feather Pen.
Meanwhile, using the self-made brush formed from her hair and dipped in her blood, she replicated everything onto a new canvas. As her left-hand brush completed its strokes, the space within millions of li surrounding her started to subtly shift, seemingly influenced by the imagery of her left-hand creation…
She deftly painted the Immortal Seeds of the millions of li onto her canvas using the Phoenix Feather Pen.
Subsequently, her blood-crafted brush spawned illusory replicas of the same Immortal Seeds, substituting reality with mere fabrication.
Thus, the genuine Immortal Seeds existed within her right-hand creation, while the millions of li surrounding them were now replaced with her blood-rendered simulations alone!
This was the purpose of her arrival here…
If the forces of darkness had already laid their trap over the Path of Creation… then she would replace the real Immortal Seeds with false ones.
To steal the heavens and swap the sun!
At last, Zi Ling finished her final stroke.
Meanwhile, the eighteen core disciples of Yue Court had activated the array.
Without anyone noticing, Zi Ling gently flicked her painting.
Within her blood-painted canvas, the replicated imagery transformed into living symbols, silently merging with the array.
With the flutter of her brushwork, millions of li of sacred Immortal Elixirs and Immortal Seeds unexpectedly surged toward the array!
They streamed into the channel the array had opened!
…
Simultaneously.
Above the Sacred Soil.
“Junior Brother Lin, what’s taking so long? Only your segment of the array is left to complete, and the Sacred Origin Qi is about to descend upon Taiji Mountain!”
A group from the Scorching Sun Imperial Court on Taiyang Continent had already set up an array above the Sacred Soil.
While Yue Court worked on “Immortal Seeds Sown to Kunlun Realm,” this group sought to fulfill another line of the prophetic Divine Jumper:
“Sacred Origin flows into Taiji Mountain!”
By setting up the array, they aimed to channel the Sacred Origin Qi into Kunlun Holy Realm’s central Taiji Mountain.
Lin Jiu Zheng smiled faintly, saying:
“Almost done, don’t worry.”
As he spoke, he painted swiftly with the Fire God Brush, crafting numerous spiritual talismans.
These talismans became boundlessly mysterious, seemingly gathering all the surrounding Sacred Origin Qi into his grasp.
His Path-Scenic Land expanded subtly and silently, absorbing all of the Sacred Origin Qi into his domain. Then, his talismans transformed back into streams of Sacred Origin Qi, which merged into Scorching Sun Imperial Court’s array, flowing downward into the Forbidden World below.
…
At this moment.
At the border between Taiyin Continent and Taiyang Continent, within Kunlun Holy Realm.
This was a sealed-off world, untouched ever since the Tai Yin Empress and Ancient Sun Emperor perished.
And today, celestial phenomena appeared!
Above the vast Immortal Land and the peak of the Sacred Soil, a celestial river descended from the heavens!
Immortal Seeds scattered into Kunlun Realm, Sacred Origin flowed into Taiji Mountain!
The long-sealed Kunlun Holy Realm suddenly radiated dazzling light, rainbow hues blanketing the skies, attracting the attention of people around the world!
…
That’s all for today’s chapter. Goodnight.
