"Klin, right?" Queen Mother Xi interrupted the spell: "Don't talk about this, there are more important things now."
"No, this time I dreamed of Xiao Wu."
"Who cares?!...Wait, that sounds like a woman?"
After spending some time telling Queen Mother Xi the story of what happened on Douluo Continent and clearing up her doubts, Jiang Lu asked, "Have you discovered the secret of Bingjie?"
"No, I didn't find anything unusual." Queen Mother Xi shook her head and said seriously, "But I found that you have the foundation of creation!"
"Ah, this is normal. Didn't I say it would be completely balanced? So it is normal to have the same characteristics, but this is just an illusion." Jiang Lu explained.
"No, your...that place is also glowing..." Queen Mother of the West was a little embarrassed to speak.
"where?"
Jiang Lu looked down in the direction pointed by Queen Mother Xi and was also a little surprised: "I haven't used fluorescent powder recently..."
Queen Mother of the West was anxious: "No, it is really glowing, and a colorful glow brighter than when the Creation Foundation Weapon was released!"
"Is it true?" Jiang Lu was suspicious: "Then why don't you glow?"
But after asking and seeing the other party's strange expression, he reacted: "Oh, this thing really can't balance it for you..."
"Hiss..." He rubbed his chin, "So it's really as I guessed before, this is really the foundation of creation?"
"It is still too early to say whether it is the same or not, but the characteristics are indeed the same."
"They are not from the same time and space, so there can be two of them at the same time..." Jiang Lu pondered: "If that is true, then maybe I really opened the 'door' after being dismembered?"
He had previously thought that he was being used as a smokescreen by Yuanshi Tianzun, because his journey to Earth, the forbidden land of gods, did not meet this rigid condition.
But if Jiang Bao is the foundation of creation, then the situation is different. It might be a case of a mistake turning into a coincidence.
Jiang Lu looked serious, with a thoughtful look on his face: "In other words, it is like your foundation of creation, carrying the weight of a world and containing the essence of the entire underworld... Then it should be called Yin Essence..."
"......" Queen Mother Xi always felt that something was not right, and suggested: "How about we call it the Essence of Taiyin?"
Jiang Lu waved his hand and said, "A long name is not necessarily a good thing. For example, a name like 'About my search for food in a world where it is always night' is obviously not as impressive as 'Night Without Boundaries'."
"It's up to you..."
However, although there was an unexpected discovery, the original problem was still not solved, which made the two of them quite distressed.
Originally, according to Jiang Lu's idea, the disintegration of the Foundation of Creation would definitely cause some kind of strange phenomenon, or at least there would be some changes in itself, but it seemed that apart from the shattering, nothing unexpected happened.
This is a bit confusing.
It doesn't look like it's a key.
Just when Jiang Lu was feeling a little depressed, Queen Mother Xi suddenly thought of something: "Or, is it possible that we have not met some prerequisites?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu thought about it and felt that it made sense: "It's possible. Maybe the dissolution of the weapon is just one of the conditions. But...what other conditions can there be?"
“Maybe we can find some common ground.”
The Queen Mother of the West said:
"Let's assume for now that your... that was also the foundation of creation, and then you were dismembered to open the door. Now let's find out what you and my father had done before this."
"Okay." Jiang Lu sat upright and said, "Please start asking questions."
"My father is the strongest."
Jiang Lu said without hesitation: "I am also the number one in the underworld."
"My father has all the best qualities in the world."
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "I think I am."
"Next, my father has a wife."
Jiang Lu was embarrassed: "Uh... this kind of question doesn't count, right? It doesn't matter how you think about it, right?"
"Any similarities are possible, just answer honestly."
"Well, no." Jiang Lu shook his head, and then added in his heart, "Not before that."
Queen Mother Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Go on, he loves my mother very much, and there is only room for one person in his heart."
Jiang Lu: "Yes."
"Answer yes or no!"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu struggled: "No."
"Oh, you like a lot of women, don't you?"
The Queen Mother of the West looked unhappy and continued to ask:
"He has three children."
"An easy question." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sterilized, so I can't have children."
"Okay, no children." Queen Mother of the West's expression eased a little.
She was about to ask more, but Jiang Lu finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, stop taking advantage of the topic and ask something useful."
This is the most useful thing for me...Thinking silently, Queen Mother of the West looked at Jiang Lu deeply.
"Before his death, he dispersed all his life's cultivation."
"Me too." Jiang Lu nodded: "They dispersed all my cultivation."
"That's a possibility." Queen Mother Xi ruled out this possibility and continued to ask, "He created a world."
"Well... the underworld was originally very small, but I opened up more space, so in a sense I created it."
"Then this counts." Queen Mother of the West thought for a while and asked again: "He went through a terrible thunder tribulation, and now it seems that it should be a true immortal tribulation."
"I have also survived what is said to be the greatest calamity in the underworld since ancient times, but I don't know if it is true or not."
"Then let's not consider this for now and think of a solution at the end."
Queen Mother of the West searched around and found that there seemed to be nothing worth noting, but she still felt as if she had overlooked something: "But I always feel like something is missing."
Jiang Lu was about to speak when the duration of the heavy balance finally expired, and he and Queen Mother of the West appeared in front of everyone again.
Seeing the two people reappear, several people immediately surrounded them and asked if the process went smoothly.
"It didn't go well." Queen Mother of the West shook her head and told everyone the result of her attempt at military transformation.
"No response?" Several people were disappointed when they heard this.
"But it's not without gain." Queen Mother Xi said again: "Jiang Lu also has the foundation of creation."
"What?!" Dong Wanggong was the first to get anxious: "Didn't we agree to replace it if it was stolen? How did you really steal it from yourself?"
"It wasn't stolen. He already had it." Queen Mother of the West quickly explained, "But it's not in the Dantian. It's over there."
"There..." Several people looked in the direction she pointed.
Jiang Lu cooperated by raising his hips.
Dong Wanggong frowned, a little disgusted: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't it be here?" Hong Yi rolled his eyes at him. "Pangu the Great has transformed his body into everything. An ordinary flesh body cannot become a part of a world. In my opinion, this may be because he, like Jiang Lu, has melted his flesh body and the foundation of creation together."
Hong Yi's original intention was just to help Jiang Lu find a way out, but unexpectedly this reminded the Queen Mother of the West and made her excited.
"Yes, yes, if that's the case then it might be true!"
She said to Jiang Lu excitedly:
"I know what I just overlooked."
Several people looked puzzled.
Jiang Lu first explained to them the similarities between what he had just done with the Queen Mother of the West looking for him and Pangu the Great to open the door.
Then ask Queen Mother of the West what she has overlooked.
“What she said makes sense. No matter what kind of being it is, without the support of the soul, the body will decay sooner or later.
But my father's body is everything, which means that every part of his body is integrated into the laws of the world.
If the foundation of creation is understood as the weight and essence of a world, then my father naturally melted his entire body into it.
The same goes for you, isn't it just that part of you that has reached the other side of the 'door'?"
"But after your father transformed into all things, didn't he stay in this world for quite a long time?" Jiang Lu asked.
"What if the door had been opened long ago, but he just didn't go in?"
"Also a possibility."
"So I guess there are three conditions that need to be met: first, you must obtain the foundation of creation when building the foundation; second, you must survive the true immortal tribulation and then prove your path to godhood; third, after melting your body with the foundation of creation, you can disband your soldiers to cultivate and become an ordinary person before you can open the door."
What the Queen Mother of the West said made sense and no one else could find fault with it.
Hong Yi also had to agree with this: "If this is true, then perhaps we have found the reason why Yuanshi Tianzun did not take action. Perhaps it was just this one step that was missing."
When Yuanshi Tianzun was mentioned, everyone's heart sank, and perhaps the joy of finding the correct answer was also diluted.
Even if this is really the truth, can we just not do it if we know we can't do it?
Although the Queen Mother of the West has successfully passed the True Immortal Tribulation, it can only be said that she has an extremely high upper limit, but it does not mean that she can fight against Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuanshi Tianzun would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, and it is not impossible that he would forcibly refine her. Although she might not die, there is no way to stop him.
Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West must become stronger, at least to be able to protect herself from Yuanshi Tianzun.
But if you continue to become stronger, you will inevitably refine the golden body, and this process is inseparable from the earliest hurdle on the road to becoming an immortal, which is the foundation. It is the relationship between the bottom foundation and the superstructure. Then, when you are able to fight against Yuanshi Tianzun, who is the strongest among the main gods, it is self-evident whether the physical body and the foundation of creation will melt together.
It seems that their struggle is indeed somewhat powerless.
Because Yuanshi Tianzun doesn’t care whether they will discover this or not. Whether they discover it or not, they will inevitably follow the same path because they have to continue to become stronger.
Realizing this, everyone's mood became a little depressed.
It seems that no matter how you try to break the impasse, you will end up back at the starting point and will never be able to escape Yuanshi Tianzun's Five Finger Mountain.
Just then, someone raised his hand.
"Well...I have a question."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Scythe, who had always been a marginalized person, who was speaking.
"What's the problem?" Jiang Lu asked.
