Chapter 750: Mustard Seed Space
Qin Feng was slightly taken aback.
When Su Tianyue first sent a clone to Imperial City and set up the Fox Whispering Pavilion, she claimed it was to earn some extra money to supplement her household expenses. But in reality, she came for his Ancient Divine Breath.
Now, with the changes in the world and the opening of the crack in the Immortal Realm, causing Ancient Divine Breath to scatter throughout the mortal world, Su Tianyue indeed didn’t need to stay here anymore. She could completely return to Tushan Mountain in the Western Domain for cultivation.
But the question was, why did she want him to go with her?
‘Could it be that she still wants to accelerate the absorption of Ancient Divine Breath through dual cultivation, so she wants to try both methods?’
Thinking of this, Qin Feng took another step back, looking cautious. “You want me to go back to Tushan with you. What do you want?”
Su Tianyue replied truthfully, “Now I have stepped into the peak of the Second Realm, and my understanding of illusion has also reached its peak. It is beyond skill and is close to Dao.”
“As long as I return to Tushan in the Western Region, I can merge all my avatars, and it may be possible to reach the coveted realm of transcendence.”
Holy crap, she’s a big shot. Qin Feng immediately became respectful, “Then I congratulate Chief Tianyue in advance. But I still don’t understand why you want me to go with you.”
Su Tianyue furrowed her brows slightly, “Recently, I received a divine message from my main body. It seems that an unwelcome guest has appeared in the Western Domain and is extremely powerful.”“Wherever it goes, there are corpses everywhere. Some of our clan members who went out for training encountered it and unfortunately perished.”
“Even the Demon Slaying Department of the Western Domain suffered heavy losses. Many Red Lotus Demon Slayers and Two Thirty-Six Star also lost their lives.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned. In the current situation, those veteran members of the Thirty-Six Stars probably had reached at least the third rank in strength. Whoever could kill them would have to be at least at the second rank, or even possibly entering the transcendence realm.
Su Tianyue continued, “To be cautious, I used the Heavenly Reflecting Stone for divination.”
“What were the results?” Qin Feng asked curiously.
“In the vision, flames engulfed the sky, darkness covered the end of the earth, and in that darkness, there seemed to be a giant Buddha flashing by.”
“The giant Buddha?” Qin Feng widened his eyes. Senior Bai Yan had mentioned before that he had seen a giant Buddha outside the Extreme Region in the Southern Domain.
Could it be that the image revealed by the Heavenly Reflecting Stone is the Extreme Region of the Western Domain?
Qin Feng asked this question.
“The Extreme Region of the Western Domain?” Su Tianyue shook her head, not saying it wasn’t, but she didn’t know. After all, she had never been to such a place.
It was the power of the laws of heaven and earth that made people in the world never doubt the existence of the Extreme Region beyond.
Unless they had seen it with their own eyes and had some speculations in their hearts, the image revealed by the Heavenly Reflecting Stone was probably the Extreme Region.
And if he remembered correctly, unlike the other three domains, the Extreme Region of the Western Domain didn’t have any foreign races occupying it. Instead, it was like a blank sheet of paper, rarely mentioned by anyone.
It felt strange.
“Similar to the chaos caused by Mao Yin in the past, the Western Domain is facing another major change.”
“That’s why I have to rush back to Tushan in the Western Domain.”
”The Tushan Fox Clan has existed for a long time and cannot disappear under my watch.”
“Originally, this matter should have nothing to do with you. But at the end of the image revealed by the Heavenly Reflecting Stone, I saw a burly figure wearing a straw hat and monk’s robes, which should be the unwelcome guest who invaded the Western Domain. And in that image, there was a figure confronting it, and that figure was you,” Su Tianyue said seriously.
Qin Feng was shocked. Wasn’t the burly figure described by the other party exactly the same as the Ghost Buddha who escaped from the Ninefold Prison earlier?
Of course, because of the appearance of the big eyeballs, the body of that Ghost Buddha must have been occupied by something else, something strange.
I have to tell my teacher this news. Qin Feng’s expression became solemn.
On the other side, in the Southern Domain, amidst the continuous mountains, two figures, one tall and one short, were traveling together.
Behind them, a huge snake head lay there alone, its green blood flowing out, and the fluctuations it emitted after death still stirring up eerie winds.
This was a Seven Calamity Cycle python demon. Judging from its appearance, it had obviously died not long ago.
These two people were Commander Nan Tianlong and Li Luo, who were on a patrol mission in the Southern Domain.
Due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the Southern Domain, coupled with the opening of the crack between the Netherworld Realm and the Immortal Realm, the strength of demons and ghosts far exceeded that of the past, and the frequency of ghost disasters had reached an alarming level.
The members of the Demon Slaying Department were often busy, and the consecutive battles also rapidly improved their strength.
As the strongest genius in the history of the military, Li Luo had stepped into the third rank under continuous tempering. His swordsmanship had also improved significantly, and his control over the Ghost Sword Box had reached a profound level.
But even so, he was still not satisfied because two mountains were always pressing down on him.
These two mountains were none other than Liu Jianli and Bai Wushuang, who were known as unparalleled geniuses.
Although there was no distinction between the three major sword sects after the establishment of the Sword Dao Alliance, internal conflicts still occurred from time to time. After all, without competition, there would be no significant progress.
And because of the presence of Liu Jianli and Bai Wushuang in the Myriad Sword Sect and Sword Emperor City, the Military House was also overshadowed. To break this situation, the hope of the Military House had to step forward!
Thinking of this, Li Luo asked, “Master, how can I comprehend the Dao?”
“Why do you ask this suddenly?”
“Sword Emperor City’s Senior Bai Yan has long entered the transcendence realm.”
“His Three-Day Divine Unity Sword Technique has already transcended skills and approached the level of the Dao. Bai Wushuang, under his guidance, must have slowly begun to comprehend the Dao as well.”
“As for Liu Jianli, she had already grasped a hint of the Dao during the battle with the Asura clan. If things continue like this, won’t I be forever suppressed by the two of them?”
“Master, after the last battle at Zhenling Pass, you entered the transcendence realm shortly after. You must have comprehended your own Dao. Can you impart it to me?” Li Luo asked eagerly.
Nan Tianlong shook his head, “It’s not that I’m keeping it to myself and unwilling to pass it on to you, but I walk completely different paths from other warriors.”
“Nurturing Demons and Ghosts with Vigor Qi and integrating all things into the body is my Dao. Master once told me that this is the Dao of all things, not the orthodox path of warriors, so it’s not suitable for you.”
“It’s a pity that my good friend died in the battle at Zhenling Pass. Otherwise, with his abilities, he would definitely have been able to comprehend the Dao most suitable for warriors and could have guided you.”
Speaking of this, Nan Tianlong’s expression became lonely, with a hint of regret and sadness in his tone.
“Is the Master talking about Northern Ghost Head?”
The battle at Zhenling Pass in the Southern Domain, compared to the battle twenty years ago, was even more dangerous. Moreover, after this battle, with the changes in the world, the various human sects were in turmoil, and it could be called the battle of a new era.
So this battle had long been known to everyone, even recorded in history. Northern Ghost Head’s heroic sacrifice brought tears to the eyes of many heroes.
Li Luo only learned about the relationship between Master and Northern Ghost Head afterward. They were not only close friends but also disciples of the Divine Guardian.
Seeing Master’s sad expression, Li Luo deliberately changed the subject, “Then, Master, what should I do to comprehend my own Dao?”
“You are a swordsman. If you want to comprehend a Dao that suits you, there are generally two paths you can take.”
“Either, like Sword Emperor Bai Yan, you can refine your sword skills to the pinnacle, or like Liu Jianli, you can merge your intentions into swordsmanship. The former requires accumulation through daily practice and actual combat, while the latter requires talent and the courage to advance boldly,” Nan Tianlong explained.
“The courage to advance boldly?” Li Luo was slightly stunned.
“My departed friend once said that only by having someone you want to protect in your heart can you fearlessly unleash power far beyond your own. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to severely damage Candle Dragon with the strength of a second-rank,” Nan Tianlong sighed.
“I see.” Li Luo nodded as if he understood, but he also seemed puzzled.
Although he had extraordinary talent, he was still too young and didn’t yet understand the weight of protecting someone.
“The matter of comprehending the Dao cannot be forced, otherwise, it will only be counterproductive. The two methods mentioned earlier are common paths for swordsmen. But in your case, I can show you another way,” Nan Tianlong pondered for a moment and said.
“Please, Master, enlighten me!”
“Sword Emperor City emphasizes technique, Myriad Sword Sect emphasizes intention, and the secrets of your Military House lie within the Ghost Sword Box, emphasizing the weapon.”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you try to fully command the Ghost Sword Box, reach the state of unity between man and sword, and perhaps you can open up a new path of swordsmanship,” Nan Tianlong suggested.
“Unity of man and sword,” Li Luo muttered to himself, his eyes shining. Perhaps this was the path that suited him best!
Seeing this, Nan Tianlong nodded in satisfaction.
After walking for a while, Li Luo suddenly asked, “Master, why have we been shuttling back and forth in these mountains for the past few days? The Demons and Ghosts here have already been slain, and there’s nothing left to threaten the people.”
“I’m here under the orders of the National Teacher to wait for something,” Nan Tianlong replied truthfully.
“What is it?” Li Luo asked curiously.
“It’s here,” Nan Tianlong looked towards a vacant space on one side, but there was clearly nothing there.
However, not long after he spoke, a giant mouth appeared out of thin air, and it was the remnant soul that had escaped from Jinyun’s body!
At the Grand Literature Academy, atop the Heavenly Tower, Qin Feng recounted everything Su Tianyue had seen in the Heavenly Reflecting Stone.
“Master, the Ghost Buddha heading to the Western Regions must have a purpose. We should inform Prince Chu of the Western Regions and the Demon Slaying Department promptly and send reinforcements as soon as possible,” Qin Feng urged.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower remained standing with his hands behind his back, looking out over the railing. Instead of giving an answer, he said, “Wait a little longer.”
The eerie big eyeball also possessed powerful divination abilities and could even shield fate. This meant that even though the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower controlled the Dao of Destiny, he couldn’t predict the purpose of the Ghost Buddha’s journey to the Western Regions.
To win in battle, one must know oneself and the enemy, or else rash actions would only lead to passive outcomes.
“Master, what are you waiting for?” Qin Feng didn’t understand. This was obviously the most urgent matter.
“I’m waiting for a reply.”
Just then, a white light streaked across the southern sky like a comet with a long tail.
The white light shot towards the Heavenly Tower, finally transforming into a paper crane and gently landing in front of Qin Feng and the others.
The paper crane unfolded slowly, and ripples appeared in the void like on the surface of a lake, and the scene changed.
In the image, Nan Tianlong subdued the remnant soul of the Taotie and used his Divine Power of All Things to assimilate it into his body.
And everything that the big eyeball and the Ghost Buddha had said back in the Ninefold Prison, Nan Tianlong also learned through the third perspective, and then slowly revealed it.
After listening to the retelling, the paper crane disappeared, and Qin Feng showed a shocked expression.
So the Ghost Buddha was the incarnation left by the Immortal Buddhas in this world, and the reason those bizarre entities approached the Ghost Buddha was to obtain something lost in the mortal realm.
“What is the ‘Mustard Seed Space’? ” Qin Feng asked.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower replied, “The gods and Buddhas once said that the Mustard Seed Space contains the universe, and the universe is contained within a mustard seed. Even the tiniest thing can contain mountains, rivers, and oceans. What they referred to as the Mustard Seed Space might be the treasure of the Gods and Buddhas of Immortal Realm.”
“Why would such a thing exist in the mortal realm, and what could be the purpose of those guys seeking it?” Qin Feng asked.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower said lightly, “I don’t know about this, but I know who might.”
“Who is it?” Qin Feng asked curiously.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower didn’t answer directly. Instead, he opened his palm, and in no time, a small statue about the size of a palm appeared out of thin air.
Qin Feng recognized this statue; it was exactly like the City God!
Indeed, as the statue emitted a burst of golden light, a miniature City God immediately came to life.
“Damn it,” Qin Feng muttered instinctively.
“Boy, there’s no need to be surprised. The Dao I brought into this world is the Golden Light Spell.”
“Besides having remarkable defensive power, it can also create many divine incarnations with my essence.”
“After my previous incarnation was destroyed by the Night Wandering Ghost, he negotiated with me to help build temples and place my incarnations throughout this world. In exchange, I agreed to protect the people. ” The City God explained.
“I see.” Qin Feng glanced at his teacher, feeling amazed. He couldn’t help but admire the old schemer’s cunning.
Not only did he freeload labor for free, but he also slowly extracted information about the Immortal Realm from the other party.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower raised an eyebrow, indicating something with his eyes.
Understanding the tacit message from his fellow schemer, Qin Feng pretended to be curious and said, “But Senior, your original purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to confirm whether the Farshore Flower from the Netherworld could kill those monsters.”
“It turns out that the Farshore Flower does have such an effect, but there are too few of them to solve the problem. If so, why do you still want to stay in the mortal realm?”
The City God pondered for a moment and truthfully replied, “Those bizarre creatures have unknown origins but possess terrifying power. Even the combined efforts of the Gods and Demons of the Immortal Realm and the Buddhas cannot fully resist their invasion.”
“The same goes for the Netherworld. However, what interests me greatly is that despite the deterioration of the laws of heaven and earth in this realm, those bizarre creatures have been unable to invade. I want to figure out the reason behind this. Perhaps, there may be a way to deal with them hidden within.”
Qin Feng looked at his teacher, who remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned about the topic.
Qin Feng, the seasoned actor, felt his mouth twitch slightly.
Without saying a word, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower replayed the previous scene through the Mirror Flower, Water Moon for the City God to see again.
When the City God heard about the Mustard Seed Space, he immediately showed a shocked expression.
“It turns out Mustard Seed Space was in this broken world, no wonder we haven’t been able to find it!”
