Chapter 283 Secret
Chapter 283 Secret
Li Wuxiang immediately got rid of the feeling of disgust and numbness - at this moment his body had just been engulfed by flames. The fire was the underground fire of Dajie Mountain. His Guangchanzi's first layer skin was burned by the flames, and immediately countless bubbles swelled up like fried pig skin.
His Nascent Soul Yin Spirit did not care much about this body, but his soul was still hidden in the body. After being refined by the fire, it immediately became hazy and floating, as if it was about to dissipate.
The glance from Lord Sima Ming just now had already made him realize how powerful this true immortal was. Now that things had come to this critical juncture, he had to save his own soul!
He didn't have time to think about it, he just threw himself into the sea of fire, possessing his own skin.
A burst of wild laughter immediately rang in my ears: "Hahahaha! I have become an immortal! You are a dog, a cunning and evil person. You still dare to fight me? Huh?!"
At this moment, the sea of fire outside was still the underground fire of Dajie Mountain. After a burst of wild laughter, Li Wuxiang saw the surrounding flames swirling and dancing, and a human face appeared in the light and shadow - it was not Jiang Jie, nor was it Sima Ming Zhenjun who was seen just now, but Zhao Kui!
At this moment, he remembered everything that happened just now -
How could it be Zhao Kui! ?
Wasn't it Jiang Jie who became Siming Zhenjun? How come it became Zhao Kui now? Why did Jiang Jie help me just now! ?
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Zhao Kui laughing wildly: "You want to take my skin? Bah! I have worked hard for more than ten years, you wish for it - come here! Hey!"
With his fierce shout, the surrounding underground fire shot up into the sky, and instantly changed from red and yellow to blue and white - "I will refine you here, and let you see the power of my Kitchen God's Karma Fire!"
This piece of underground fire seemed to have turned into an extremely hot sharp blade, and the blade was then cast into a cage. After Li Wuxiang possessed this skin, he wanted to take it and break free from the entanglement of the golden entanglement. However, this time, he was forced by the fire power, and bubbles appeared on his body surface again, as if he was being refined alive, and were seeping into the cracks of the golden entanglement bit by bit!
How could it be Zhao Kui! ?
He later took the throne of the Kitchen God in Jinshui Town, just because of this? !
however--
I am not who I was then!
Li Wuxiang's mind was aroused, and he controlled the broken skin that was about to melt, and used the meridians and acupoints on its body surface to stimulate his internal energy.
A sword light burst out from his skin, the outward light broke through the blue-white flames, the inward light hit the golden coil, and the skin was further tattered - "Just a mere Qi Refiner! You are a worthless Kitchen God!"
Zhao Kui's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, followed by a scream: "——Ah! What the hell is that?! Grandmaster, save me!!"
Li Wuxiang himself did not expect that his sword light could actually smash the golden entanglement that Zhao Kui possessed into pieces with just one blow - Zhao Kui seemed to be stunned by his blow. The blue and white karma fire around him immediately fluttered and turned into strands that drilled into the gap between the skin bag and the golden entanglement. The skin bag was scorching hot, and the golden entanglement seemed to be about to be refined and melted!
Then Zhao Kui screamed again: "Grandmaster, save me! Grandmaster, save me! Ahhhhhh!"
"Save your head! Get out of here!" Li Wuxiang's skin was even more tattered than the golden entanglement at this time. It was almost a layer of charred skin hanging on a piece of broken golden net, but he raised the sword light again - there were not many people in the world who could withstand the sword energy of the Yuanying Sword Immortal, and Zhao Kui was definitely not one of them. With just one more strike, he should be able to blast him out of the golden entanglement!
But at this moment, the surrounding flames rose again, and Zhao Kui's face instantly turned into the appearance of Siming Zhenjun that he had seen before -
Before Li Wuxiang released the second sword light, he suddenly felt a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes - the sounds of exploding flames and collapsing stone pillars suddenly subsided, and the entire world around him seemed silent.
It was not until the next moment that he realized that there was still a sound, the sound of wood crackling in the stove, but compared to just now, it was already quiet - and a ball of broken gold suddenly broke out of his skin, shooting straight into the flames towards a straight stone wall in front of him...
No, it was the stove! Li Wuxiang saw Wan Huafang in the stove for the first time—it was a piece of blue brick covered with black ash!
Just now, Siming Zhenjun used his magical power to pull himself and Zhao Kui back from the underground fire of Dajie Mountain - something is wrong... This magical power should belong to Li Ye. Siming Zhenjun is a newborn true immortal, how can he have this ability! ?
But at this moment, the golden entanglement wrapped around Zhao Kui was about to sink into the Wanhua Fang, and the sword light in Li Wuxiang's palm immediately emitted -
However, just like before, the distance between him and the blue brick seemed to become infinitely far in an instant, so far that even the sword light could not catch up, and it could only watch Zhao Kui sink into it!
Then - the flames rose with a humming sound, and the entire space in the stove turned bright white. Li Wuxiang's skin was already tattered, and after being stimulated by the flames, only traces of outlines were left, and it was obvious that he was about to turn into ashes.
Then he heard a second sigh -
A dazzling sword light hummed and surrounded him. The flames were immediately forced back, and the scorching aura disappeared without a trace. The sword light protected his body and created a space in this small world.
"This is karmic fire. The karmic fire of the Kitchen God, it is the magical power of Lord Sima Ming." A voice sounded behind him.
Li Wuxiang was already extremely alert, and was startled by the sound. He turned around and sent out a third sword light - the sword light stopped in the palm of the man behind him, and as he gently squeezed it, it shattered into spots of light.
"We can't let Li Jiaotu get that treasure."
Li Wuxiang felt like he was having a nightmare these days!
Dutian Siming, Donghuang Taiyi, the catastrophe fire that destroyed the world, traveling through cause and effect, and then to the current furnace, Siming Zhenjun... He didn't know how much time had passed, whether the furnace he was in now was real or an illusion, and he didn't know whether the person in front of him... was Jiang Jie!
"Are you Jiang Jie?"
This man looked like Jiang Jie, sounded like Jiang Jie, and his sword light also looked like Jiang Jie. However, Li Wuxiang could feel with his Nascent Soul cultivation that there was something wrong with his sword light... It was more like it was originally some other magical power, and now it had become the Sword Sect's Flying Sword Technique!
"That's it."
"Is it?" Li Wuxiang looked at him, then turned back to look at the blue brick, "...You, didn't you become the God of Life and Death in the Heavens, and then the God of Life and Death? I had forgotten about you before... No, weren't you destroyed by Li Ye?"
"You think Li Ye is Li Ye, then I am Jiang Jie."
A feeling of annoyance rose up in Li Wuxiang's heart because of this sentence. Condescending, fragmentary, and vague - "I say, can't you speak more clearly?!"
Li Wuxiang pointed outwards: "I am a mortal! You have become a spirit god! I cannot spy on the secrets of heaven! But the outside is a sea of fire because of you - Jiang Jie, are you still telling me riddles here!?"
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes because of what he said and sighed softly: "You are right, I was wrong." "You--?!"
"But it's not my fault, but Li Ye's." Jiang Jie's figure floated in the flames in the void, as if he did not exist in this world.
He stared at Li Wuxiang for a moment: "I just wanted to get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven. I have been managing Youjiuyuan for three hundred years, and everything I have done is for the people of the world and the destiny of humanity. For this reason, I want to seize the power of Donghuang Taiyi - he has been targeted by the Xuanjiao and will never be able to turn over. But the destiny of humanity belongs to millions of people in the world, so why are the people innocent? So I want to become a Golden Immortal, become an Emperor, and save the world on behalf of Donghuang Taiyi."
Li Wuxiang heard a faint sound, like the wind or a woman's voice.
He was stunned for a moment, and realized that this might be Xue Baoping's voice, like a dream... However, this voice slowly reignited the flames in the stove, and he realized that this was the power of vows - Li Ye said that Siming Zhenjun could only accept Zhao Kui's incense and vows in this Wanhuafang before, because Dutian Siming was still there and he did not dare to go out.
But now Dutian Siming has been destroyed by Li Ye...the new Siming Zhenjun who possessed Zhao Kui and Jin Chanzi began to accept wishes!
"And then you resorted to the tactic of destroying everything and destroying the person you wanted to save first!?"
"It's me, but it's not me either." Jiang Jie looked at Li Wuxiang, with two contradictory expressions of indifference and solemnity appearing on his face at the same time. "After I gradually took away Donghuang Taiyi's incense and vows, I found that I was slowly not myself anymore. Li Wuxiang, can you understand this -"
"You are kind-hearted and gentle, but one day, you are in command of a large army. You need to be ruthless and ruthless to control this army. What kind of person will you become? Anyone who is sent to such a position will no longer be the same person as before—"
Li Wuxiang smiled coldly: "I have heard this kind of words many times before, Jiang Jie, you——"
"I'm not talking about morality, but the authority of Donghuang Taiyi and the destiny of humanity. Li Wuxiang, you have a vicious sore on your arm today that cannot be cured. Will you choose to cut off your arm to save yourself, or will you be merciful and not want to see your arm sacrificed?"
This kind of thinking can't tell right from wrong! Li Wuxiang felt even more disgusted and didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore - Li Ye said that someone would help him, if it was Jiang Jie, then...
However, several scenes suddenly popped out of his mind -
Earlier on Yulun Mountain, Jin Zijiu looked very much like Guiyin Zhenjun; just now in Wanhua Fang, Zhao Kui looked very much like Siming Zhenjun; and Jiang Jie’s words - "I’m not talking about the mind, nature, and morality"...
"You said that you seized the authority of humanity's destiny, and slowly felt that you were no longer yourself... You mean..." Li Wuxiang hesitated and said, "You are not just making an analogy... Are you serious!?"
"I'm serious." Jiang Jie nodded, "Human destiny is alive. Just like the Netherworld Mother Earth is alive."
"It may have been created by Li Ye in this world... but after it appeared in the world, it was Donghuang Taiyi, and Donghuang Taiyi was him. You seized the authority of the destiny of humanity, and you are slowly becoming it - so, I destroyed the world in order to break it down and build it up, and then slowly plan for it in the future. This is the destiny of humanity cutting off one arm. It can be considered as my doing, but it can also be considered as my doing."
Complex things - fate, cause and effect - make people confused and unable to see clearly, but now, when things suddenly become simple, Li Wuxiang feels even more confused, confused to the point of being unbelievable, and then gradually develops a terrifying sense of absurdity -
Live?
Is human destiny alive?
Literally alive?!
“You mean…” Li Wuxiang spoke carefully, not wanting his words to have any ambiguity, “Li Ye created the destiny of humanity, and then Li Ye became Donghuang Taiyi – Li Ye once told me that he plus the destiny of humanity is Donghuang Taiyi, and you plus the destiny of humanity is Dutian Siming…”
"So what I achieved before was Du Tian Siming, not Dong Huang Tai Yi. The moment Li Ye gained power, achieved the Golden Immortal, and became Dong Huang Tai Yi, the destiny of humanity came alive because of him. Li Ye's ideas are its ideas, and its ideas are Li Ye's ideas."
"From then on, anyone who wanted to control the power of humanity's destiny like me...ah, that's not right." Jiang Jie smiled slightly, "It's not about controlling power, but about integrating oneself into the destiny of humanity and sacrificing oneself - anyone who sacrificed themselves unconsciously like me, their thoughts and ideas became its, became the original Li Ye's."
"If I win this time... and I really take all the power, there will no longer be Jiang Jie in the world, but Li Ye."
Li Ye...Li Ye...Li Wuxiang thought of Li Ye.
The Li Ye whom he had thought might be rational and cold, and even had a bit of a heroic temperament, but after actually meeting him, he was impressed by his heroism - "Then what is he...exactly? Jiang Jie, you have confused me...Are you saying that the name of the destiny of humanity is 'Donghuang Taiyi', and the reason why Donghuang Taiyi exists is because Li Ye sacrificed himself to the destiny of humanity?"
"Only Li Ye was not sacrificed. Perhaps you can think of it this way. Human destiny was not originally alive, but a body, unconscious and unconscious. Li Ye cultivated to become a Golden Immortal and put on the body of Human destiny, and then there was 'Donghuang Taiyi' - they complemented and nurtured each other. Donghuang Taiyi is Li Ye who became a Golden Immortal. Its thoughts, ideas, and behaviors will always remain at the moment when Li Ye became a Golden Immortal."
"He is decisive in killing, rational and cruel, and can sacrifice anyone for his own survival. The Li Ye you saw is Li Ye, the Emperor of Ye, before he became a Golden Immortal. Do you think only the Six Sects of Xuan Sect are looking for this Li Ye? No... I now understand that Donghuang Taiyi is also looking for this Li Ye."
"Emperor Ye..." Jiang Jie sighed, "He regretted it. But I realized it too late. A glimpse of this secret...actually cost me my worldly cultivation and Yang God realm."
Li Wuxiang thought for a moment, and suddenly turned to look at the Wanhua Square - "Then the Siming Zhenjun inside... is he the Kitchen God? Is he Li Jiaotu? I forgot about you before, is it because you are going to become Li Jiaotu? I just looked at Zhao Kui... sometimes I felt that he was like Li Jiaotu, then he is also... No, didn't you say that Donghuang Taiyi was Li Ye before he achieved the Golden Immortal? But Siming Zhenjun is a true immortal!"
But he remembered what Li Ye had said to him before -
Becoming a Golden Immortal does not mean becoming Donghuang Taiyi!
He also said that he would use the Eastern Emperor Seal to confer a new title of True Immortal on himself, instead of asking him to be one of the thirty-six True Lords.
"...So the fortunes that Siming Zhenjun controls are also...alive?"
Jiang Jie nodded: "They are more like Donghuang Taiyi's children."
“They’re all eating people.”
