Taiyi's Chaos, Raising a Sword Capable of Killing Himself
Although separated by a vast ocean, Rovi Wei was naturally able to sense Xunzi's presence, and he could also see that Xunzi was bowing to him, so it was only natural for him to return the bow.
This is not perception; it is the response of a deity to the person reciting their own deity.
He had existed in this world for an extremely long time, but in the other world where he first existed, many people here were actually his 'ancestors'.
Even if it is only a coincidence, it still shares the same origin.
It was under these extremely complex emotions that Rovi straightened his clothes and bowed.
This is not only a sign of respect, but also a way to rectify oneself.
Amidst the vast and unfamiliar landscape, and after numerous twists and turns.
But I am still Yanhuang.
Because this is an indelible origin, an indelible imprint of the soul.
No matter how much he joked and cursed, Rovi could never forget that China has always been a land of elegant clothing and etiquette.
Master Xun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Strange, very strange!"
This surviving Confucianism sage, facing the sea breeze, barefoot and stroking his beard, said, "In my decades of life, I have never heard of such a sacred person bowing to a human!"
"Master, you..."
"Nothing, just a sudden surge of emotion, a feeling that stirred my heart!" Xunzi flicked his sleeve, turned around, and said, "Let's go back!"
"I am satisfied with this trip. Now I will return to await the arrival of destiny!"
"I shall return to the earth, but a thousand years from now, though I die, I will live on as long as you, Master!"
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Master Xun was nonchalant and unperturbed. He showed no grief or sorrow over his impending death; on the contrary, he seemed quite happy.
Confucianism seeks humanity, not the immortality of Taoist School and Yin-Yang School, which seek to live in harmony with heaven and earth.
The Way of Heaven has no beginning and no end, but the Way of Man has a coming and going. We do not seek the eternity of the physical body or the eternal existence of life, but only the brilliance of the spirit, the ultimate principle of self-cultivation, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.
To be able to die is to be fulfilled.
Therefore, even though Xunzi was a great Confucianism sage whose realm was to some extent equivalent to that of an immortal, he would still die like an ordinary person after several decades.
Each of the hundred schools of thought has its own purpose.
"Yes, Master!" The man following Xunzi replied respectfully. He looked at the vast sea and felt a magnificent and clear atmosphere coming towards him, but when he looked again, he could not see anything. It seemed to be no different from usual.
He could not understand Xunzi's hearty laughter, nor could he comprehend the ecstatic joy in his words.
After taking only two steps, Master Xun suddenly paused. The tide rose and fell beneath his feet, creating strange ripples. He abruptly raised his head, gazing south—the direction of the Chu State, the land of Jingchu ...
"What is this?" Master Xun frowned, his face serious.
A strange fear surfaced in his eyes.
He sensed that something there was undergoing a violent change.
There was something unusual about the "sky" there.
I can feel it, but I can't see it very clearly.
A sense of fear arises, like an ant looking up at the sky and finding it collapsing; it can't see anything, only feels an instinctive panic.
Because of that violent fluctuation—
"Finally, we found it!" Under the blazing sun, in the secluded valley, amidst the lush vegetation, a temple stood tall.
Although it has long been covered with moss, one can still see its former grandeur from the towering palace domes, which resemble majestic mountains. The accumulated dust also reveals its decline, indicating that no one has set foot here for a long time.
At this moment, the dust that had accumulated for so long was stirred up and dissipated with a swirling motion, and the tails of the nine golden velvet tails shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.
The Nine-Tails Fox, who embodies different versions of herself and has a power struggle with Rovi, began searching for Donghua after noticing his appearance, and eventually found him here.
She raised her slender hand from beneath her deep blue robe. "Tanggu, another place of sunrise in ancient mythology."
One of her tails spoke, "Is this the abode of 'Taiyi,' the supreme god of Chu Land?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox responded by wagging its tail, "It is a pity that after the ancient gods changed and Taiyi relinquished his power, this place was no longer the place of sunrise and sunset."
"Fortunately, there are still remnants of authority here, so my search here was not in vain."
"Then let's get started!"
"That's right, that's right, I can't wait any longer..."
"What's the rush? Let me prepare..."
The dialogue between 'oneself' and 'oneself' seems to have become an unconscious act.
Her long, orange-red hair cascaded down her back, and her beautiful, graceful figure stood slenderly before the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tails Fox waved her hand, gazing at the palace before her. Then, she gently turned her hand, and countless invisible runes were imprinted in the air, spreading out layer by layer, forming a huge wall.
whoosh whoosh—
A fierce wind swept across this Sun God land of sunset.
It seemed as if something was gathering together.
That is the remaining power of the sun of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the supreme god of Chu Land who once lived here.
However, guided by countless talismans, what appeared was not the radiant, blazing Blazing Sun.
is a dazzling 'black'.
The Nine-Tails Fox reverses the authority of the ' Primordial Sun,' inverting its concept.
Here, she transformed it into a surging, pitch-black chaos.
The dark, chaotic black sun, in contrast to the sun.
A negative sun.
The 'evil' sun.
"Absorb the endless evil and malice of this world, and then shake hands with that 'Donghua'."
Although it is a struggle for power, the Nine-Tails Fox never intends to take the initiative to make a move.
She prefers to remain behind the scenes.
They created 'dolls' to fight against that person and that god.
Test their strength, test their bottom line.
Go!
With a sweep of its nine tails, the black 'sun' instantly rose into the air.
It swallows up a ray of light and draws in a ray of evil.
Rapidly expanding and growing—
The East China Sea remains unchanged, with its tides still rising.
Rovi stood up.
"Who... who are you bowing to?" Yu Ji tilted her head, stood up, walked to Rovi's side, and looked around, but she couldn't see anything either. "Hmm..."
Could it be something she can't see again? Like that group of evil gods from before...
"Are you scared?" Rovi turned his gaze away from the distance and asked.
Yu Ji immediately denied it. "How could that be!"
"Really not?"
"This is so annoying! I said no, so it is." Noticing Rovi's increasingly ambiguous expression, Yu Ji became irritable again.
"Don't worry, there's nothing there!" Rovi laughed heartily. He said, "Being afraid isn't something shameful. Even Primordial God have things they fear—"
"Really?" Yu Ji was stunned, her crimson eyes widening. She had thought this guy was fearless...
"Of course it's fake."
Yu Ji: "..."
I really want to hit someone, but I can't beat them! What should I do?
Rovi raised his hand, and the ' Pure Yang Sword ' hanging Fusang Tree fell into his palm. He gripped the hilt, pressed it behind his back, and with a swirling light, a dark red scabbard appeared on its own.
As Rovi stood upright with his dark robes fluttering in the sea breeze, carrying a sword, the ancient and mysterious aura he exuded gave him an ethereal quality.
But when he speaks, the worldly air comes through, making him feel not distant. "However, it is not shameful to be afraid of anything. Or rather, only by having fear in your heart can you know your own shortcomings and regressions."
Do you mean you're perfect?
Yu Ji widened her eyes, somewhat belatedly realizing what was happening.
"I'm going to check out the sea, what about you?" Rovi asked casually.
Yu Ji subconsciously wanted to retort with another question, "What's so interesting about the sea?", but then she suddenly remembered the scene of him gathering all spirits as a vanguard, and paused again.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned her crimson gaze to look at the huge, swaying trees behind her, and said as if pondering, "Should I... really go out for a walk?"
"You should ask yourself, not me." Rovi sighed. "If you want to see it, I can take you out."
"I don't need it... Never mind, then I'll trouble you!" Yu Ji deliberately revealed a 'fierce' expression on her pretty face. "But don't misunderstand, I'm not traveling with you just to be with you!"
"You are just a tool to me."
"Yes, yes, yes." Rovi laughed. He found it quite amusing to tease this Star Spirit whose actual age was probably no less than his own.
He did not reject this kind of simple exchange. Now that he had come to China and become Immortals and Gods, he felt he should also have the elegance and grace of an immortal.
Act and act as you please.
Moreover, as a celestial being, the many secrets that Yu Ji knew were all important to Rovi.
Building good relationships with them is also a necessary requirement.
"Pure Yang Sword, rise!" Rovi flicked his sleeve, and the Pure Yang Sword, which had just been sheathed behind him, hummed and soared into the air in an instant, transforming into a dazzling stream of fire, like the sun hanging in the sky, with the Pure Yang flames rushing towards him.
With flowing sword light, he flew on his sword.
This kind of trick is practically second nature to Rovi; he doesn't even need to learn it.
He reached out to Yu Ji: "Let's go!"
Yu Ji paused for a moment, then pursed her lips. "I'll reluctantly accept your invitation!"
"But you mustn't move!" Yu Ji said righteously.
Rovi Wei replied seriously and matter-of-factly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you move around."
"I won't move..." Yu Ji muttered softly, but thinking about what she had just done, she couldn't help but blush slightly.
I was really crazy... but my state of mind did change at that moment.
Some of these effects are still felt today.
Yu Ji raised her hand, her soft palm landing between the other's palms, her slender fingers slightly closed. Rovi Wei laughed loudly, and they remained at a great distance, not getting any closer.
A gust of wind suddenly arose!
The sea breeze caressed our faces, and the Pure Yang Sword transformed into a fiery light that enveloped us.
When riding a sword, what you control is never the sword itself, but the light that the sword radiates.
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she suddenly felt her vision blur and her feet leave the ground, instantly plunging into the sea.
Having never experienced 'flying on a sword' before, she was so frightened that she instinctively tried to grab Rovi's arm to steady herself, but was blocked by an invisible airflow.
"You said, to prevent any unnecessary movement." Rovi spoke leisurely, his robes billowing in the wind, his long sleeves billowing like wings. He turned his gaze to the side and laughed heartily, "As you wish."
Yu Ji felt a bit annoyed, but as a Star Spirit, although her body wasn't large and she wasn't particularly skilled in combat, she had seen quite a bit of the world. So she only swayed for a moment before quickly regaining her balance.
The airflow not only blocked it, but also enveloped it.
Protect it from ups and downs.
Yu Ji exhaled, her shawl fluttering and her coat billowing, revealing a large expanse of her fair body enveloped in shimmering light, yet still allowing a glimpse of the outside scenery.
That was the view of the sea and the sky.
The vast and magnificent sea, the azure and distant sky.
There are birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the sea.
The Kun Fish, which came from the North Sea, let out sharp cries, while the Great Peng, which came from the South Sea, spread its wings like the sky.
A fleeting glimpse of light, the faint glow of stars.
The spirits that had been summoned long ago followed closely behind.
Clouds, rain, rivers, lakes, and seas—a vast expanse of water vapor gradually gathered around the sword's light.
In the vastness, as if falling into the deep sea, Yu Ji curiously reached out to touch the faintly glowing objects on both sides.
Is this a plant?
here it is...
The sword light suddenly shot up, piercing through the sea surface and rising into the air!
Yu Ji suddenly realized that they had really entered the deep sea and seen the underwater scenery.
The scenery on both sides recedes in sequence, forming a continuous expanse of light and shadow.
Amidst the upheaval, Yu Ji simply held Rovi's hand tightly, her beautiful face revealing a serene smile that no one else could see.
She suddenly realized that this wasn't so bad.
This Mercedes-Benz feel.
This feeling of being behind someone else.
Undeniably, that fleeting moment of light and shadow was a sight she had never witnessed before in her life.
"This time, I'll reluctantly let you off the hook." With a light tap of her toes and a sway of her hips, Yu Ji opened her other hand, feeling the wind brush against her palm.
It's as if it wants to embrace this dazzling light.
It's more like wanting to embrace the person in front of you.
The feeling in that instant was extremely warm, so warm that one didn't want to leave.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
As a born Star Spirit, Yu Ji was called a ' Heavenly Immortal ' by the people of China, and she certainly deserved the title. However, she was fundamentally different from those immortals who cultivated themselves into immortals. As a spirit originating from a planet, she should not have a physical body in the mortal world. Yu Ji, who was unexpectedly given a human body, always felt that she was an anomaly.
Moreover, due to her unique nature, most people who initially approached her had ulterior motives, either to seek the mystery that originated from her self-consciousness or perhaps to find the secret of immortality.
Therefore, it was only natural for Yu Ji to reject them and feel annoyed by them.
The feeling of being adrift and unsettled lingered, and the pent-up frustration in his heart over a long period of time was unimaginable.
Thus came distress, world-weariness, and more world-weariness.
But at this moment, for the first time in her life, Yu Ji inexplicably felt something called 'home'.
The person before her was her 'kind,' a being born of the same stars, an innate being.
Confirmed, Yu Ji felt especially at ease.
She closed her eyes slightly, emptying her mind.
And Rovi smiled.
His journey across the ocean was not merely a simple sightseeing trip; he was also using the ocean's circulation to absorb the countless layers of brutality, anger, greed, and rage that he had been unable to cleanse himself of in one go, taking all this malice into his own body.
Chaos swirls within my heart, surging ever more vigorously.
Like an indescribable mist, without beginning or end, boundless and nameless.
During this process, the sword light that enveloped and entwined itself became increasingly pure and translucent as it gathered moisture, and the pure yang color began to emerge with transparency.
It absorbs pure 'water vapor'.
Water belongs to Yin, Pure Yang Sword belongs to Pure Yang. Yin and Yang overlap, and the sun and moon revolve. In its operation, it is as if it has undergone polishing time and time again.
Yes, while Rovi was purifying the ocean on a deeper level and absorbing malice to nurture the 'chaos' within his body, he was also forging a sword.
Forge a sword that embodies the interplay of Yin and Yang, the cycle of life and death, and has the potential to kill itself!
