Revive Only After Being Driven to the Brink of Death!
Splash!
The scattered fragments of divine power combined with the Spiritual Qi in the air to create a strange landscape, condensing into snowflakes that drifted across the sky, enveloping a vast forest.
"This jungle is likely to undergo significant changes in the future."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Wu, Divine Body had turned into flesh and blood, sighed.
It should be noted that this snow scene is no ordinary sight; it is formed by the combination of divine power and Spiritual Qi.
Divine power connects with the mind and spirit, Spiritual Qi strengthens the body. When absorbed by plants and animals, it can alter their composition and produce unique effects. If a cultivator obtains something mutated, it will greatly benefit their cultivation.
This is one of the reasons why heavenly materials and earthly treasures are born.
However, after his initial reflection, Zhao Wu frowned and looked at the spot where Qiu Yan had been Original Edition. He detected a slight fluctuation of Divine Office, and upon closer inspection, his expression changed drastically.
"It turns out to be Divine Office related to granting children and childbirth, vague and unclear, clearly abandoned and without any worship, even feeling like it has been severed from its roots. It must have been left behind by Virtual Talisman, and it still contains the aura of Lü Liang. It is very likely a deity under his command. The Min Yuan Si, who controls mountains and rivers, would never have such a remnant. The Divine Body that exploded just now was not him!"
As a celestial official, with legal positions spread throughout the human world, Zhao Wu had a deep understanding of the Eastern Hua Divine Path and could distinguish the differences between legal positions.
"This is the method of substituting one thing for another." Eye-Bearing Star Lord smiled slightly, placed the black cat on the cloud bed, raised his hand and grabbed, and a series of spatial rifts spread out. Scattered snowflakes flew upwards, gathered in his hand, and condensed into a crystal clear bead.
"Min Yuan had laid out chess pieces on this continent beforehand, marked out the exit, and then used a formation and Karma to entangle me, allowing me to move across continents. In an instant, he even shifted his position and turned the chess piece around, thus escaping a fatal blow. His mind can be considered meticulous."
Zhao Wu narrowed his eyes. "So, he had already prepared a backup plan to bring Star Lord here. But what's the use of that? However, this god's luck is truly astonishing. This risky gamble, with its many strokes of luck, actually allowed him to succeed."
"This Continent is much more robust than Donghua, able to somewhat withstand my Divine Body, but it has its limits. However, within the Stellar Domain of Law, it is ultimately weakened. As for the fortune of Min Yuan you mentioned..." The Eye-Bearing Star Lord's eyes flickered with starlight, a vision of stars fading and disappearing. "The Karmic Thread connecting him to me... I didn't notice it, and I didn't sever it in time; that's the foundation of his fortune."
The Star Lord of Yizhou is entangled in numerous Karma. However, the Star Lord's power is sufficient to detach himself from them. He naturally does not take a mere karmic Karma to heart. But this difference in thought leads to a vastly different outcome.
In the Eye-Bearing Star Lord and Zhao Wu, this was simply Qiu Yan's good fortune.
Zhao Wu continued, "Min Yuan does indeed have some methods, using the Buddhist Sect method of achieving great things with little. But such actions are tantamount to courting death. The Star Lord can still use Karma connections to summon him, so it's all in vain no matter where he runs."
"That's not necessarily true," Eye-Bearing Star Lord with a meaningful smile. "The Buddhist Sect vows rely on action; most require accomplishment to fulfill one's wishes. It's a worldly path, involving various karmic Karma. In the East Flower Continent, we are entangled in numerous worldly affairs, and it is through these layers of entanglement that we are bound by Karma."
"The difference in strength, realm, and rank between him and me is enormous. If we didn't both belong to the same Divine Path of the continent, have overlapping People's Wishes at play, and I hadn't been caught off guard, how could he have accomplished this? If the Buddhist Sect vows can disregard everything and rely solely on Karma, wouldn't that disrupt the Order?"
"As for this Continent, we and Min Yuan are all outsiders, with little contact with the world, so naturally we don't have much involvement. It won't be easy to bring him here all at once."
Speaking of this, he said with deep emotion, "Although I have the position of Star Lord, my legal power cannot cover this place. Now I am just a more powerful god."
Zhao Wu said calmly, "Wouldn't that let that Min Yuan escape? What if he returns to the East Flower Continent..."
"That's not necessarily true," Eye-Bearing Star Lord shook his head, picking up the bead. "Finding it isn't difficult, it just takes some time. Besides..."
He suddenly stood up, stepped off the cloud bed, and continued, "Min Yuan can't escape. He was able to teleport here because of an oath. If he leaves, we will all be dragged down with him. Wouldn't that be a waste of our efforts?"
"I see. What are your plans next, Lord Star Lord?" Zhao Wu nodded and asked tentatively, "Should we go directly to capture Min Yuan?"
Eye-Bearing Star Lord smiled slightly, then turned into a flesh and blood body. "The most urgent task is not to find Min Yuan, but to take down this invading enemy first. It's a good opportunity to learn about this Continent. Besides, although my finger strike did not kill Min Yuan, it destroyed nearly half of the incense offerings. His Divine Body is not in Donghua. If this continues, the sacrifices will be scattered and he simply cannot hold on."
The next moment, a faint purple mist emanated from the pores of the Eye-Bearing Star Lord's entire body, permeating both the inside and outside, and faintly forming a human-shaped figure around him.
"Having not used my Fleshly Body for a long time, I wonder how much combat power I have now."
As they spoke, several figures appeared from the horizon, each riding a flying sword, heading straight for the location of the two gods.
"Call..."
On the other side, Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body was trapped in a strange pool of blood. His hands and legs were completely shattered, but divine power surged and slowly gathered to mend them.
"From the memories of that Divine Husk, we can learn that this Continent is Daoist Sect by Daoism. Even mortals in the mortal realm aim to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment. They only believe in themselves and their resources, and do not value their State of Mind or the Divine Path. They do not sincerely pursue or worship it, so collecting incense offerings is not easy, hmm?"
He suddenly noticed that the incense Votive Thoughts coming from the East Flower Continent were exceptionally scarce!
"Passing on incense across continents is indeed difficult, and that Star Lord's final finger not only affected the Divine Body, but also compressed and destroyed numerous Karma and conditions, Fortune, and even the threads of incense offerings. However..."
With a change of thought, a torrent of People's Wishes surged forth from the Soul Aperture, transforming within the Divine Power Space and metamorphosing into divine power and the Incense Faith.
"Borrowing from Fleshly Body or Heart Demon Body can both transmit the power, and it ignores distance. I really don't know the origin of those Three Divine Hairs; they are so wondrous. That last one must be used with caution."
Indeed, the place where the Divine Spirit Body is now located is no longer the land of the East Flower Continent, but another Continent, and all of this originated from the book <New World Observations>.
The so-called "New World" refers to a new world, a new human world. The title of that book means what was seen and heard in this new human world. It records the events of the Great Rui River and Mountains and also mentions some extraordinary signs.
This book was obtained from Yan Yongjie, but its origin can be traced back to a Daoist priest. According to Yan Yongjie, he saved the dying Daoist priest, who did not survive and entrusted the book to him before he died.
"It is said to be the New World, but it records the scenes of the Great Rui. That means that the person who wrote this book was not from the Great Rui, and now it seems that he was not from the East Flower Continent either. Rather, he crossed over from this Continent, but we do not know why he stayed in the Donghua and was eventually buried in a foreign land."
After obtaining the book, Qiu Yan began to explore and study it. He even used his divine power to transform the nature of the book and refine it, gradually glimpsing its secrets. He learned that the painting on the last page was actually a kind of formation. Behind it was a passage that could lead to another world, connecting the two Continent.
However, he did not rush into things, but instead explored step by step and gradually. He first used his Divine Sense to penetrate, then used his divine power and incense offerings, and not long ago he even sent the Child-Giving God Divine Husk of the God of Fertility over there.
This process is actually a step-by-step test, sending out power, will, and Divine Body separately to see if they can pass safely.
The results became clearer, but Qiu Yan also noticed that after passing through, he appeared in mid-air, but gradually he could not find the way back. Even so, this passage became his escape route. He planned that if he could not gain a foothold in the East Flower Continent, he could use this passage in the painting to move to this unfamiliar Continent, start over, and begin again.
However, the Divine Husk of Child-Giving God later discovered a place and heard some rumors. Qiu Yan also made some discoveries during the Daoist discussion and gained a lot from the feedback from the Master of Nine-Rhyme Studio. After much deliberation, he temporarily changed his plan and prepared to take a risk.
If one loses, one must abandon Spirit Root and perhaps survive using one of the other two bodies.
If we win, we will have time to strengthen ourselves and stabilize our Divine Path, preventing the sacrificial rites from being shaken again by a single Starlight Barrier!
"In this Continent, the Daoist Sect reign supreme. Even if we start anew, we must do so in secret. Since there are no divine Divine Path here, there must be power sufficient to rival the gods. Once it grows strong enough, it will ultimately have to fight against those who rule this world, just like before. Since the outcome is the same, we might as well take advantage of the initiative and fight to the death. It's not without a chance of victory!"
It is certainly difficult for Qiu Yan to fight against the Heavenly Court alone. Since he has chosen this path and does not want to be enslaved by others, he will inevitably have conflicts with the Heavenly Court. This is a path full of dangers. Compared with this, this gamble is nothing.
There will undoubtedly be many similar hardships along this road, so why should we be afraid?
Of course, when Zhao Wu and the Eye-Bearing Star Lord descended one after the other, there were many details that could have caused Qiu Yan to fail at the last minute. Therefore, he consumed the pages of the Book of Fortune in advance to enhance his Fortune and reduce variables.
Previously, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord had discussed Qiu Yan's fortune with Zhao Wu, believing it to be merely a fluke, but also due to Qiu Yan's thorough preparation and the inevitable factors at play.
"The first step is accomplished. Next, I need to find the Golden Cicada Fruit that the cultivators of this continent speak of, and break free from the shackles of my oath... Hmm?"
As his thoughts gradually became clearer, Qiu Yan suddenly realized that the Fire Sovereign of the believers in the East Flower Continent were slowly collapsing. The incense sticks were covered with invisible starlight, as if the collapse in front of him was slowly spreading to all directions.
"What a vicious method! This is meant to completely destroy my foundation, even the lives of my believers will be devoured by the starlight! What a Star Lord, he cares nothing for the lives of mortals! This means my time is running out! If I cannot return before the starlight devours my people, what awaits me is the collapse of my rituals and the demotion of my Divine Grade! However, this is also an opportunity..."
Thinking this, Qiu Yan's Divine Body slowly transformed into a flesh and blood body, and then crawled out of the Blood Pool.
Beside the pool lay a young man in a blue robe, extremely weak. His mind was scattered, and Qiu Yan easily detected his mental fluctuations.
"Spiritual objects... alchemy... can increase the chances of succeeding in breaking through to the False Core by 30%..."
