Chapter 777: Chapter 775: Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Wu Zhong—Faithful to All, Faithless to You; Jiang Shengyi’s Choice
When the Queen Mother of the West broke through, her power reached its peak.
Just as she was delighted to find her lover.
In the end, she only saw that one line.
This journey to the Nine Heavens Returning Ruins, I hope not to fail the world nor you...
The Queen Mother of the West shed tears, weeping in sorrow and anger.
This man, in the end, still deceived her.
She wanted to ascend to the Nine Heavens Returning Ruins, but could not ignore the pleas of the people of the Jasper Pool Holy Land.
She waited and waited...
Hoping that her lover would return triumphant.
In the end, she only waited for a nearly lifeless body that fell from the Nine Heavens Returning Ruins.
He fought the darkness in a bloody battle, seeking to quell the chaos, but ultimately, he was isolated and unsupported.
Just a step short of Great Perfection Sacred Body, he was defeated.
The price was his life.
That day, the Queen Mother of the West’s hair turned white overnight.
But she was unwilling, unwilling for her lover to fall just like that.
She managed everything at the Jasper Pool.
Leaving behind her legacy and teachings.
Finally, she sacrificed herself, forcibly reaching the pinnacle of the Innate Dao Embryo, the Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart.
She dug it out!
She snatched life from the heavens, reversing the cycle of life and death!
Infusing the Twelve-Orifice Immortal Heart into the Holy Body.
That day, blood rained from the sky, and the heavens trembled in rage!
Even the Emperor cannot defy the cause and effect of the cycle of life and death.
Yet the Queen Mother of the West defied heaven for love!
In the end...
She closed her eyes.
But he opened his eyes.
From then on, the world gained one more Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo.
And one more heartbroken soul.
He sealed the Queen Mother of the West within an icy coffin for millennia.
Carrying it on his back.
One man, one coffin, embarked on the path to the Nine Heavens Returning Ruins.
One hand suppressing the darkness, vanquishing chaos.
The infinite beings of the Immortal Realm sang his name, viewing him as a true hero.
Yet he left with the icy coffin on his back, vanishing from the world.
Thereafter, the world no longer had a hero who quelled dark chaos.
Only a lonely and desolate coffin bearer.
Ultimately, as his words left behind, he did not fail the world.
But...
Failed you...
Scene after scene of illusions unfolded and disappeared before Jiang Shengyi’s eyes.
Even Jiang Shengyi was momentarily silent, her emotions stirred.
She suddenly thought of the legend in the Immortal Realm, about an emperor who touched the realm of Immortal Dao.
Possessing the supreme Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo!
Known as Emperor Wu Zhong!
It now seems, that most likely it is the holy body in the Illusion Realm.
Jiang Shengyi also realized that the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo.
Is not necessarily born from the union of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and an Innate Dao Embryo.
An Innate Dao Embryo can also sacrifice itself for a Holy Body.
But throughout history, how many would be willing to do such a thing?
Only a fool like the Queen Mother of the West would do such a thing.
At this moment, an ethereal voice echoed from the void.
"If it were you, would you be willing to do so?"
Jiang Shengyi’s eyes dimmed.
She knew this must be the final test of the inheritance.
Because she too is an Innate Dao Embryo.
"You can think about it before answering, deceit is useless," the ethereal voice continued.
If one speaks insincerely, evidently they cannot obtain the inheritance.
Would you be willing?
For some reason, the first image that flashed in Jiang Shengyi’s mind was an exceptionally handsome face with a gentle smile.
The one she admired was also a Holy Body.
There was no need for much thought.
Because for Jiang Shengyi, the question only has one answer forever.
"I am willing."
If it is for him, I am willing...
The illusory space fell into a dead silence.
Perhaps even that voice did not expect Jiang Shengyi to choose self-sacrifice without hesitation.
After a long while, the ethereal voice sighed.
"Are you really so foolish?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi’s immaculate immortal beauty blossomed into a sweet smile, her shimmering eyes filled with tender affection.
"If in one’s life, you meet someone who makes you foolish, makes you happy, makes you sorrowful, that’s not so bad, is it?"
With those words, the voice fell silent again.
Moments later, the voice said, "Congratulations, you have passed the test."
As the words fell, Jiang Shengyi’s figure gradually faded, disappearing, leaving the soul illusion realm of the test.
"What has happened will happen again; all things in the world are a reincarnation..."
The ethereal voice murmured, a sigh, and finally disappeared.
In the outside world, the entire Ancient Yaochi radiated even more brilliant immortal radiance.
Deep in the ancient land, within the hall.
Yu Qingning sensed the surrounding changes, and a trace of delight emerged in her phoenix eyes.
Jiang Shengyi succeeded.
Rumbling!
The earth began to tremble.
Endless immortal radiance shone, the spiritual qi so dense it was almost palpable.
Milky white spirit liquid overflowed.
Flooding the entire ancient hall, spiritual qi permeating.
"This place has become Jasper Pool," Yu Qingning sighed.
Jasper Pool, also known as the Immortal Transformation Pool, the name itself suggests it is extraordinary.
If a person soaks in it, though it won’t directly transform them into an immortal, it will have immense benefits.
The flesh body, even the soul and primordial spirit, can receive a supreme baptism, becoming incredibly pure.
In the outside world, Jasper Pool Water is priced by the drop.
And now, the entire ancient hall has turned into a Jasper Pool.
What surprised Yu Qingning even more was.
Where Jiang Shengyi sat cross-legged, a white crystalline lotus exuding mysterious dao patterns bloomed.
Jiang Shengyi sat in the lotus, as ethereal and beautiful as a true immortal from the mortal world.
"Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus!" Yu Qingning exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, the treasure of the Jasper Pool Sacred Land was here.
Anything associated with the immortal is extremely rare and precious.
Such as the Blood of the Fallen Immortal, Immortal Embryos, etc.
And the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus is the same.
The energy contained within the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus is exceptionally abundant, comparable to hundreds or thousands of Immortal Marrow veins.
Even enough for a Saint Powerhouse to cultivate to become a Quasi-Supreme Venerable.
More importantly, the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus has another highly coveted attribute.
That is, after refining the energy of the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus.
In future celestial tribulations and venerable tribulations, there will be significant benefits.
It can to some extent immunize against thunder punishment calamity.
That is rather monstrous.
It’s known that not everyone is like Jun Xiaoyao, for whom celestial tribulations are painless, even reversing to suppress the tribulations.
For ordinary cultivators, let alone venerable tribulations.
Even the Seven-Colored Saint Tribulation carries significant risks.
Moreover, as one progresses, the higher the realm, the greater the danger of crossing tribulations.
If they refined the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus, it would significantly reduce risk.
Who wouldn’t covet it?
Even Venerable Powerhouses would be envious.
But before Yu Qingning could express her amazement.
Numerous golden runes manifested in the void, eventually gathering in Jiang Shengyi’s hand, forming a golden scripture.
"A complete version of the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture." Yu Qingning was once again surprised.
As the former Yaochi Sect Leader, she naturally cultivated the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture.
However, it was incomplete.
The Yaochi Sacred Land had also experienced chaos and calamity, the complete Jade Pool Immortal Scripture had been severed, not passed down.
Only the fragmented version was left.
What Yu Qingning cultivated was the fragmented version.
But now, the complete version of the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture is in Jiang Shengyi’s hand.
"Shengyi, this is a great opportunity from heaven," Yu Qingning rejoiced for her disciple.
Sitting cross-legged in the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus, Jiang Shengyi was also delighted.
These opportunities could help her catch up with Jun Xiaoyao.
However, it was not yet over.
A terrifying force suddenly emerged from the depths of the Jasper Pool.
It was an exquisite stone with nine orifices, exuding and cycling the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon radiance.
"That is... the Nine-Orifice Stone Embryo!"
Even Yu Qingning couldn’t help but be taken aback.
The long-lost tribute divine object of the Yaochi Sacred Land had appeared in this place!
