Chapter 1320: Fourth Throne
Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Fourth Throne
Jiang Shui was the benevolent corpse of the King of Destruction, once possessing the Fourth Step cultivation; now he has fallen to become Manzhi, with only the Nine Epochs Dao Practice remaining.
The reasons for this can’t be explained in just a few words.
The history in the mural flows slowly, like a long river rolling eastward.
Walking amidst the waves of history, even Jiang Shui seems tiny like a fish, drifting with the current, unable to control his own fate.
Once there was someone who experienced the eight sufferings of the mortal world, attained benevolent results, yet left behind endless infamy in all reincarnations.
Once there was someone who founded the Eight Precepts of Reversal and Destruction, carrying himself as a lock, yet couldn’t hold back the tiny possibilities slipping through his fingers.
What is the way of Wuneng...
How to comprehend all possibilities of destiny...
How to transcend fate and carve out new possibilities in the impossible...
The poem goes:
One heart leaves the mundane, two energies harmonize the treasures. Pure light gathers the Three Lights, flowers of four seasons, creations driven by five directions. Cut off the six desires, not letting the seven emotions link, uphold the eight precepts, pass through the nine barriers, achievements of ten lifetimes must be reached.
Ten country saints, nine lives as pampas grass. Eight Desolates scatter infamous names, with seven fierce and six elements aiding the Dao. Five Spirit Pearls lost, Four Symbols burning in fire, comprehend three abilities, purify two altars, one thought, moonlight distant.
...
In the Primordial Desolate Era, the world was constantly in turmoil.
In the Ancient Kingdom Divine Spirits Era, the flames of war suddenly ceased.
The gods could only end the flames of war because the Second and Third Divine Kings alone were not enough; the First Divine King contributed significantly. She created a power system called [Nine Reversals], integrating herself with the Nine Reversals, invincible under heaven.
The first [Unbeatable], aimed at exploring the divine heart and human nature, eradicating the flames of war in the world.
The second [Unspeakable], upholding self-discipline, eliminating deceitful words and evil thoughts, eternally transmitting a single word.
The third [Unknown], hiding life and death, erasing cause and concealing effect, creating the reincarnation of illusory dreams.
The fourth [Unattainable], integrating with destiny, thought transforms into Destiny God桑, a noble goddess, difficult to pursue.
The fifth [Unbreakable], grasping to the extreme, eternal glory, one thought eternally burns.
The sixth [Inconceivable], transcending evil karma.
The seventh [Unattainable], the empty mountains see no one, but hear the sound of human voices.
The eighth [Unmeasurable], boundless, limitless, infinite; without end, without beginning, eternal.
The ninth [Unreturnable], this is the path of suppression and exile.
Because of her significant contributions, the Ancient Kingdom Divine Spirits accorded her the highest honor with the words [Niku], and these words defined their hierarchy.
Because she was too powerful, even though the Reverse Saints of later generations initiated the Five Spirits Chessboard several times, they couldn’t erase all her stories that were passed down.
Even destiny couldn’t do it, because the Destiny God桑 of later generations was precisely created by her, intended to replace the original Life King’s Destiny Lamp.
She was the strongest during the era of the Ancient Kingdom, and also a compassionate figure who sacrificed the eternal lamp of light.
She was the white moonlight of countless Ancient Kingdom Divine Spirits, but her affection was never for a specific person; instead, it was for all the lovable and persistent souls in the world.
To this day, her stories are still recounted in some corners of reincarnation.
As long as there are young boys and girls in the world who long for her glimmer, her afterglow will transform into the Heavenly Destiny Xuan Bird, shining once more in the world, even if her original self has already been eternally extinguished in one thought...
[Hey, have you missed me~ my beloved friend, or perhaps the heir of the Ancient Kingdom’s will, or maybe some small creatures that playfully intrude~ who exactly opened the Creation Painting~ I’m really curious to know~ but surely, I’m no longer here now, or perhaps you wish for me to remain hanging in the sky forever, keeping you company under the sun~]
[We engrave history here only because it’s a sin that shouldn’t be forgotten, also a lament buried with countless sufferings and heroes.]
[The sinking of the world makes no sound; even the sun will set one day, and that is the true nature of the world.]
[But don’t be regretful for missing the sun~ there will always be successors who will ignite new flames again, won’t they~]
[They will bring new light to the world, using life to kindle torches, inherit the will, illuminate the long night, that I firmly believe~]
[Gods are not power but responsibility shared by you and me. When faith is strong enough, it can create a light, transform into a spirit, that is my little blessing left for the world~ did you receive my blessing~ if you say no, I might cry, you know~]
[Sins aren’t things meant to be forgotten; arrogance and cowardice are. Remember the river, remember the sky, remember every soul that persists to the end; remember the suffering, remember the farewells, remember every sunrise and sunset, remember all the glowworms and lights, even if the long night is coming, you and I will never walk alone~]
A voice gently flows, an ancient echo left by the God King Nigaku on the Creation Painting.
Some images emerge following, a little story about this recording, this mural.
Niyue: [Knowing too much is not a good thing; you inscribe history here for all beings to read, which has many drawbacks, have you considered the consequences?]
Niku: [Don’t be so pessimistic~ persistent flowers never fear wind and rain, isn’t it also a deity’s responsibility to make beings know where they come from and where they’re going, instead of beautifying the past and the future?]
Niyue: [But not all people are willing to see such heavy history... from my experience of nurturing myriad spirits, beings prefer to depict the history of the Three Sovereigns era as paradise and glory. They yearn to bear the glory, live in the present, and journey ahead, rather than atone for ancient ancestors. For beings, life is accidental, fleeting, and they shouldn’t bear too much but seize the moment and cherish the present. I never supported your recording history, but you coerced with force; I wanted to join Nijun in opposing your tyranny, yet we both got beaten up by you; just like this piece of history, would you dare record it in the mural? Would you dare let future generations know what a reckless, willful, bull-headed woman you are? Do you truly believe that recording everything truthfully is a good deed?]
Niyue: [I can’t stop you from passing down history, but at least it shouldn’t be recorded superficially. Cruelty and bloodshed should be reduced, deceit and discord are not worth documenting, only selecting the good can truly benefit posterity.]
Niku: [But, if beings yearn to journey forward, shouldn’t they first clarify which direction truly lies ahead~ history is not just the past, but also the future; if beings don’t change, only awaiting deities to save the world, history will keep repeating.]
Niyue: [History is constantly repeating! That is reincarnation, that is the truth! Heaven and earth are prisons, but because of this cage, beasts outside can’t enter, beings get time to breathe and curse the ruthlessness of heaven and earth! Everything in this world requires a price, seeking history is like seeking freedom! Life has many unbearable burdens, do you think teaching beings to reclaim their destiny is truly a good thing? Like me, like Nijun, like Ten Ancient Kings, none can agree with your decision! The weak should enjoy their present, and if heaven collapses, it should be borne by us!]
Nijun: [Argue as much as you want, just don’t involve me. Last time we joined forces, you went bald, I got lame, now I’m at a crucial moment in creating the Ten Spirit Dao Skill, single-mindedly focused on the Dao, and don’t want to get hurt...]
Niyue: [I’m also creating Nine Mountains and Eight Seas at a crucial moment, cannot be damaged, but concerning the issue of the Creation Painting, it’s our responsibility as God Kings, isn’t it? We must argue based on reason.]
Nijun: [Can we win the argument?]
Niyue: [We can’t.]
Nijun: [Can we win?]
Niyue: [We will die.]
Nijun: [The outcome is destined, why fight?]
Niyue: [Well said, let her be. You and I can sit here discussing Dao, which is also a pleasure. If the sky falls, let her hold it up.]
Nijun: [Good. I wish to create the Ten Spirit Dao Skill, among which the Void Spirit Technique resonates greatly with you, and the Primordial Spirit Dao Skill aligns well with your daughters. I look forward to your esteemed insights, so we can mutually verify.]
Niyue: [I am also working on the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas system, intending to use mountains and seas to define levels, yet there remains a maze unsolved. If it’s not resolved, there’s no interest in contemplating the Void Spirit and Primordial Spirit.]
Nijun: [I’d like to hear the details.]
Niyue: [I have tentatively defined the Dao practice realms as four steps, with the Fourth Step provisionally set into three grades. Using King of Equality among the Ten Ancient Kings as a standard, I have delineated the Reversal Road limit of a thousand epochs of reincarnation. Common Daoists like King of Equality, Jiang Shui, Senxiang, and Liyan, whose Taoist practice is less than six thousand epochs, can roughly cultivate the number of mountains and seas of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, but cannot reach Nine Mountains and Nine Seas by normal means, because there’s a flaw in this world’s Reversal Road; while gods like us who have already made up for the missing Reversal Road can cultivate to Nine Mountains and Nine Seas; after the Nine Mountains and Nine Seas, are monsters like Njiku and King of Destruction, where the mountains and seas must have returned to one, maybe even brought that one into the infinite... I can’t see her real situation because my Dao practice is not as good as Nijiku. I can’t even see if she’s still in the Fourth Step. I can only guess blindly, hence the delay in confirming this final realm.]
Nijun: [I can see something on this matter. According to your Four Steps of cultivation, both Nijiku and King of Destruction are still within the Fourth Step... As for that legendary Life Monarch, even I cannot know...]
Nijiku: [Having doubts, why not just ask the magical Nijiku~ But before that, it seems like someone just called me brainless and violent, who could that be~]
Niyue: [A person does, a person bears. It was I who scolded, if you want to spar a little, I will accompany until the end.]
Nijun: [Since Daoist will bear it alone, why are you dragging me and my whisk into this... Don’t involve me...]
Nijiku: [Spar? Do you want to use this method to measure my cultivation? It’s okay~]
So Nijun and Niyue were both given a beating.
This event is also recorded in the Creation Painting, proving Nijiku’s commitment to the history of the Divine King, never withholding knowledge.
...
Seeing various scenes about Nijiku again, Manzhi inevitably felt a bit complicated.
As the benevolent corpse of the King of Destruction, he inherently had no goodwill towards the Vast Dao Domain.
Especially during the Primordial Desolate Era, he, known as Jiang Shui, hated all spirits of the world, yet disdained using the extreme measures of the Desolate to retaliate.
He refused to merge with Desolate, both out of mercy and a desire for survival.
Occasionally doing deeds of punishing evil and promoting good was nothing but a result of habit or a fleeting compassion, like a mortal suddenly feeling unwilling to crush an ant and inadvertently moving aside, yet unknowingly having crushed countless others. This sense of compassion was just an extra emotion born from the remnants of the King of Destruction’s will, often not aligning with Jiang Shui’s true self.
Jiang Shui, being a fragment of the King of Destruction, found the concept of [life] to be enormous suffering, brutal betrayal, a series of blood debts, a lifetime’s belief collapsing in a single night, an eternal wandering and exile.
He wanted to go home but could never return.
He wished to deeply love the world before him but could not trust anyone.
Until one day, he transformed into a turtle, lying on the beach admiring sea turtles mating, and accidentally saved a noisy little bird trapped by the beak of a clam spirit...
His bad habit of meddling made him save the little bird, thus prolonging his hardship.
There would be no creature more innocent and easily deceived than that little bird.
So he lied to her: [As long as you fly into the sky, you can end the chaos.]
She believed it and eventually flew into the sky.
He lied again: [As long as you ignite the True Self, you can illuminate the long night.]
She believed it too, thereby becoming the invincible First Divine King, implementing eternal enlightenment.
He kept deceiving, every word was a lie.
She chose to believe, and existed because of that belief.
Because she was there, Jiang Shui felt the joy of life for the first time, and had expectations for the future that all beings spoke of.
Following the little bird in punishing evil and promoting good, he didn’t feel too much conflict in his heart: since she yearned for peace, he would lend a hand, as his wandering days held no end, and he was idle, bored...
He stayed behind her, continuously sacrificing himself for her greatness, his Dao practice diminishing day by day...
Her brilliance grew ever more dazzling, eventually becoming the most radiant existence in the Vast Dao Domain.
The only regret was, if the light is too bright, no one can get close, no one can own it alone, not even Jiang Shui.
Countless admired Njiku, loved Njiku, desired Njiku as a Daoist partner, all were refused.
This relieved Jiang Shui, and thoughts began to grow in his heart, like spring grass flourishing, difficult to eradicate.
All gods claimed that the First Divine King was adhering to the vow of the selfless and sexless Divine King, thus rejected all suitors.
Jiang Shui felt the truth was otherwise.
Perhaps, he was the most special one: he had saved her life, accompanied her all the way; he had been both mentor and friend, helped her end the chaos; he had sacrificed Black Flame, assisted her to merge with Eternal Enlightenment; he had given up bronze to help her eternally suppress Desolation...
Everything she desired, he could give: if reasonable, she wanted one, he’d give two; if not reasonable, he’d still find a way to achieve it all.
There was never a moment where he so anticipated the arrival of a result...
But if it was her, he was willing to choose to believe once more...
So Jiang Shui searched the heavens above and the netherworld below, found five Heaven-opening Spirit Pearls, intending to use the pearls as a betrothal gift, to put a perfect end to their story.
Yet ultimately, he was met with rejection as well...
He guessed wrong, from beginning to end, he was never the most special one...
Fate began when I saw you among the crowd.
Fate ended when I saw you among the crowd.
Nijiku: [Uncle Jiang Shui, I’m sorry for making you sad, but since my heart already belongs to someone, I can’t become your Daoist partner. If you get too close, you might get burned~]
Jiang Shui: [Hahaha, don’t take it to heart, it was just drunken talk, just a joke, don’t take it seriously. Do you really think the most romantic Jiang Shui Taoist of the Ten Continents and Three Islands would like a little bird with incomplete feathers? Hahaha! It’s because you’re silly and believe whatever you hear that I enjoy teasing you! It’s really fun! By the way, I haven’t asked who you actually like. Is it that cripple Nijun? Or is it Baldy Niyue?]
Niku: [Nope~]
Jiang Shui: [Surely not Senxiang, right? That guy may look decent, but his spirit sense is twisted, keeping company with the Netherworld daily, definitely not a good match! You wouldn’t want to live in the Underworld after getting married, would you? Or Liyan? That bird is even worse, he absolutely can’t be trusted, he’d only lust after your body. But I’m different, I... I’m not lusting after anything because I’m the last conscience and deep affection of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, also the defender of the ethical baseline of the Spiritual Medicine community...]
Niku: [None of them~ Who could it be? I was going to just say it, but seeing Uncle Jiang Shui so anxious, it’s really interesting~]
Finally, Jiang Shui named all the prominent figures of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, yet none was the person Niku adored.
If you ask why.
Niku: [My lover is every creature of the Ancient Country, every hero who once lit the torch, countless bearers of burdens walking in the long night~ Though I can’t become a Dao companion, I actually really like Uncle Jiang Shui, just as much as I love every lovable creature of Dust Shore~]
What does [God King selfless and sexless] mean, at that moment, Jiang Shui understood.
He lost.
But losing to Niku’s beloved Vast World, he had nothing to say, could only respect and bless...
That was the first time Jiang Shui understood what it felt like to love someone, also the first time he experienced the bitterness of a broken heart.
If love ended here, it wouldn’t be painful, just some bittersweet memories.
But, unexpectedly, there was more to this story...
[Brother Tianpeng! I’m here to help you! With my advice, we’ll surely win the beauty’s heart!]
A little rabbit named Spiritual Pearl said confidently, blushing.
But the stories of this little rabbit were not much recorded on the paintings.
Because this little rabbit was neither powerful nor an Ancient Country hero, just a once insignificant little Chang’e, an ordinary maid in the Moon Palace; what’s more, she touched Jiang Shui’s most tender spot in his heart, so it couldn’t be entirely recorded on the painting for public viewing.
Even so, the Creation Painting still documented a few of the rabbit’s past, though vaguely.
[Brother Tianpeng, I’ve found out! The First Divine King, who hasn’t shown up in ages, will also attend this Peach Blossom Assembly, let’s go too, we’ll definitely win!]
[Failed again, the radiance of the First Divine King is too intense, ordinary people can’t approach... Ouch, it hurts... I got burned so badly, yet Brother Tianpeng kept laughing! That’s too much!]
[I heard that during this Heavenly River Navy drill, the First Divine King will be present. I have a brilliant plan that will surely help Brother win the beauty’s heart!]
[Sob sob sob! Thanks to Brother Tianpeng for saving me from the Divine Abyss Prison! This great grace, I, a humble maiden, will remember forever! I’ll turn over a new leaf and won’t steal any Spiritual Medicine again... Slander! Those are all slanders! I, I didn’t think of drugging the Divine King, really, I intended to drug you... Don’t laugh! I almost got beheaded! And you laugh!]
[Why does Brother Tianpeng always stay in the Demon Well and refuse to come out? Could it be he’s being manipulated by the legendary Jiang Shui Taoist... Why do you laugh at me, you keep laughing without stopping...]
[They say I am Spiritual Pearl reincarnated, but what is Spiritual Pearl? Why does Brother Tianpeng frown...]
[Had another nightmare, this time dreamt of bronze and black fire, countless hands reached out from the copper fire, seeking my life... Luckily, Brother Tianpeng flew on a rainbow cloud to save me, as long as he’s there, no nightmare is terrifying...]
[So, watching the sky from the well looks like this scene? Hey! Why knock my head! It’ll make me dumber! I know, I know, I just sneaked into the Demon Well for a little while, will leave soon! If you don’t tell, I won’t tell, who would know I violated the Ancient Country’s heavenly laws... Hold on! Brother Tianpeng should not betray me, right... If he does, please ensure to fish me out of the Divine Abyss Prison...]
[There’s a meteor! From this little well’s opening, I can see such beautiful meteors! This must be a miracle!]
[It’s said that Brother Tianpeng isn’t a cultivator of Vast Dao Domain, but an outsider wandering person, is it true?]
[Really want to see what Brother Tianpeng’s hometown is like, to nurture such a handsome and elegant man, it must be a place with clear mountains and rivers, maybe even more handsome guys... Why knock my head! If your body isn’t for me to lust after, can’t I lust after others! Stingy!]
[Brother Tianpeng, I’m a bit sad today, don’t want to joke... Can you comfort me...]
[Compared to the waves of history, we are so insignificant... We are like fleeting light on the vast waves, what’s the point of creating countless positions... So many positions, so many tragedies, so much love and hatred, so many swords and thorns standing between destinies... Yet life is such a fleeting thing, as long as a lifetime, as short as a moment, even the present isn’t enough to hold tightly, yet we dream of regaining all lost sands, that’s too hard, not something a little character like me can achieve... Brother Tianpeng, I seem to remember some things, but don’t want to continue recalling them... But this is not forgiveness, just... I don’t want to lose all I have at this moment...]
[If Spiritual Pearl is destiny, I am willing to accept it; if Wukui is the final tomb, I am also willing to accept it.]
[I am willing to accept everything, because... From this little well, I can see beautiful meteors.]
[We promised, wait for me to wake up next time, take me home...]
...
[Key Point: Nine Reversal Dao was created by God King Niku, the details go like this...]
[Key Point: The current Destiny God桑 was actually created by God King Niku, not the same destiny as the Life King’s Destiny Lamp of old.]
[Key Point: Reversal Saint realms are divided into Nine Mountains Eight Seas, Nine Mountains Nine Seas, and Mountain and Sea Unity (uncertain, the third realm is vague, lacking information).]
[Curiosity: What levels are Purple Dou, Chiwei, Zi Wei, and Northern Dipper in Reversal Saint, what realm are the Real Realms’ rebels now...]
[Key Point: The First Divine King created Nine Reversal Dao, the Second Divine King created Ten Spirit Dao Skill, the Third Divine King created Nine Mountains Eight Seas. Speculation: This is related to Reversal Saint’s creation of the Reversal Road...]
[Trivial Intelligence: Jiang Shui’s love.]
[Speculation: For the Three Kings of Ancient Country, Jiang Shui should be a highly respected figure, evident from the First Divine King’s title for him, even his trivial love story was recorded on the painting.]
[Summary: The Creation Painting does contain important information but is not specific, such as Nine Reversal Dao, Ten Spirit Dao Skill, and other contents, like the matter of Destiny God桑, are only briefly introduced, with no detailed record.]
[Speculation: The meaning of this painting is not to seal history, but to display, inherit, and remember. In the era of Ancient Kingdom Divine Spirits, many people should have the qualification to view the painting. The eighteen Arhats here are not guards but more like the Three Saints in Crimson Mountain Fighting Sea One Realm, responsible for the morning bell and evening drum, as well as cleaning and maintenance.]
[Speculation: To delve into Nine Reversal Dao and other subjects, one needs to dive deeper into Taiyi Dream.]
Ning Fan once spoke before the Creation Painting.
...
"Damn butterfly! How dare you say my love is trivial! My past is the foundation of creation! What I cherish are causal relations as weighty as Nine Mountains, concerning the fate of the world in the future, not to be taken lightly!"
Before the Creation Painting, Manzhi observed the causal remnants left by Ning Fan there, cursing.
But seeing the other party didn’t deeply investigate his past, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Wait...
That butterfly is fond of lying, does he really not intend to delve into my background...
Manzhi suddenly felt a sudden flash of inspiration, tightening his heart.
He then urged the Bronze Black Flame Technique to its extreme, desperately calculating the causal remnants left by the butterfly.
It was unknown how long it took, but Manzhi seemed to have calculated something, and his expression became increasingly unsightly.
"This fellow is indeed lying!"
"He says he isn’t interested in my past, but in fact, he has delved into the location of the [Heroic Spirit Tomb], definitely seeking my weakness, trying to hold me hostage!"
While the Creation Painting can record the history of the Ancient Country, it sometimes wouldn’t record specific characters in too much detail.
The location of this painting is at the entrance of the Divine Tomb, more like an index and directory of the history of the Ancient Country.
If one continues to go deeper, one would enter the deeper layers where the Heroic Tomb is located.
To learn detailed contents, one needs to go to the corresponding Heroic Spirit Tomb Palace. Only after obtaining the consent of the tomb owner Mountain and Sea Shadow, can one specifically understand this person’s life or inherit his divine skills.
Some heroic spirits have special identities; excessive disclosure of information and methods could provoke enemies into settling scores with their descendants.
Some heroic spirits pay attention to protecting their privacy, wanting to leave a clean name in the world... Out of respect, the Divine Kings will seal their causers, not letting reincarnation know unless they voluntarily disclose them.
The Divine Kings build Divine Tombs only to remember and pass on, but they won’t force everyone to disclose privacy or face public execution.
For the deceased, the Divine Tomb is a place to hold remains, crowns, and Mountain and Sea Shadows.
For the living, the Divine Tomb is a place to admire the ancient martyrs and inherit the divine skills and will of the martyrs.
Manzhi wants to die but cannot, definitely won’t be buried in the Tomb Palace, yet has his Heroic Spirit Tomb Palace, and not just one.
When wandering in the Rivers and Lakes, how can you not get a knife, using a small alias to save your life is just that bold.
Within the Divine Tomb, he has as many as dozens of Heroic Tombs: there’s the [Jiang Shui Tomb] smashed to pieces; there’s the [Ancient Destruction Tomb] becoming one of the taboos in the world; there are also many suspicious tombs like [Tianpeng Tomb], [Mang Yi Tomb], [True Martial Tomb], [Lan Dao Tomb], [Lie Yuan Tomb], [Manzhi Tomb]...
These tombs are empty anyway, and he happened to store many causalities and secrets within them. By doing so, Destiny finds it difficult to observe him completely, and these tombs count as waste utilization.
Anyone trying to enter Manzhi’s burial clusters would be rejected by the Mountain and Sea Shadows.
But if it’s Ning Fan, I’m afraid he can do this and that, that and this...
"This butterfly probably has a way to enter my burial cluster, even so, he can’t get any desired clues, because I have already prepared for others stealing the graves, all stored causalities are conservative... What if this butterfly doesn’t get what he wants and goes to dig deeper into some inconspicuous tomb where I truly hide secrets... His Dual Cultivation is so powerful, although he doesn’t look as good as I did, he’s not bad either. Relying on the Mountain and Sea Shadow of little rabbit, he sure won’t withstand this butterfly’s methods... No way! Absolutely no way! Anything is possible, but I, the Minotaur, am not possible!"
Manzhi panicked, more than if he were cut a thousand times!
He also possesses the Unbreakable power, the mere thousand cuts aren’t worth mentioning!
But even if it’s the rabbit’s Mountain and Sea Shadow, even if he gets cowed by the Minotaur, it’s still not okay!
Dammit!
I shouldn’t have got involved in this muddy water!
Grandpa Butterfly, Little Zhi was wrong, Little Zhi knows he was wrong! Please lift your hand, older man, isn’t it just being your Death Eater, we can discuss this! You, older man, are a Moral Sage, you must have a moral baseline! More importantly, there aren’t just many of Little Zhi’s tombs here, but also the [Moon End Tomb]! Would you heartlessly deal with others like this in front of it? Surely you won’t bear it, right? After all, you are the last of the conscience and deep affection in the Dreamland Realm!
Manzhi was anxious, urging the Copper Fire Technique to its extreme, left the Creation Painting location, and rushed to the deeper Heroic Spirit Tomb.
Sometimes searching for Ning Fan’s causal remnants within the range of [Jiang Shui Tomb] and other tomb chambers, sometimes secretly searching around [Mao Erjie’s Tomb], only to find these tombs hadn’t been entered by Ning Fan, decidedly strange.
"Is it real... This butterfly clearly entered the Heroic Spirit Tomb but truly wasn’t aiming at me... I thought I was important, but in the eyes of this butterfly, I’m perhaps just a petty person he can pinch at any time..."
"Excessive! Too excessive! But thank you, butterfly, praise to the butterfly! To treat me as a petty person, you are indeed a moral role model, older man!"
"Only... this butterfly isn’t searching for my secrets, where exactly has he gone within the Heroic Spirit Tomb..."
With his slightly relieved heart, Manzhi also began to explore further remote areas of the tomb palace for Ning Fan’s causal traces.
Wherever walked, there are traces, the difference lies in who has a way to observe these traces.
Manzhi’s eyes see farther than the Causal Beast; his sense of smell is more acute than the Heavenly Dog Clan.
Others cannot see the traces Ning Fan hides beneath the inconceivable, but he can see a few remnants!
Ultimately, Manzhi found Ning Fan’s destination!
[Divine King Hall]!
The Divine King Hall contains the burial of the Three Ancient Gods of the Ancient Country!
This butterfly doesn’t just enter the Divine King Tombs but even finds the location of the Fourth Throne and tries to receive guidance and trials from the Fourth Divine King!
But as the Ancient Country has perished, the guidance has long fragmented, it’s impossible for a fourth god king to emerge again, the trial task cannot descend, this butterfly cannot become...
No, wrong!
He, he actually succeeded!
Unknowingly using what method, he called back the Guidance, received the trial task from the Fourth Divine King!
Just complete twelve tasks, achieve twelve accomplishments, and he can become the Fourth Divine King, possessing supreme cultivation!
But he actually refused!
The butterfly refused to become the Fourth Divine King! The reason is unknown...
Just like the choice Purple Dou once made!
"Fake, fake! The Fourth Throne that all saints of all reversals dream of obtaining, he actually abandoned it! I originally wanted to assist him in obtaining the trial of the Fourth Divine King, thus becoming a daoist connection, in exchange for a chance to return home, but he didn’t need my assistance, having accomplished it by himself, even denying the possibility of ascending the throne for himself... What kind of butterfly is this!" Manzhi only felt a huge shock, face pale as death.
If this butterfly doesn’t even fancy the Fourth Throne, can he really offer something more valuable to trade with the butterfly...
Or, can he exchange it with his destiny...
