Chapter 172, Transcendence
Chapter 172, a medium-length story about transcendence.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
As Shi An investigated, a burst of silver sword energy shot out, traversing the heavens and earth. If Liu Shen had not intervened immediately, Stone Village would have ceased to exist, and even stars from beyond the realm could have been cut down.
After a long while, the sword energy dissipated, and the animal skin that recorded the Suanni Technique also turned to ashes at the same time, leaving only a silver metal page with patterns and mysterious symbols.
Its sword energy was overwhelming, its sword intent soared to the sky, and it was unparalleled in the world!
A simple sheet of paper, silver-white in color, with the clanging sound of a sword cutting through the heart and soul. It is not the sword itself, but merely a vessel for recording sword techniques.
After a long time, it calmed down, suspended in mid-air, motionless, with only silver light flowing, like the Milky Way condensed, and intricate bone script adorning it.
"Nine Leaves... Reincarnation..."
Looking at the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique" in Shi An's hand, and the silver paper floating in front of him, Liu Shen was momentarily dazed, as if she had returned to the ancient times and to that great battle.
Jiuye is one of her few friends. Both of them are plant-based practitioners and have many similarities, so their relationship is excellent.
But unexpectedly, the other party...
Thinking of this, Liu Shen couldn't help but gather her thoughts and turn to look at Shi An, only to find that the other party had not stopped, but was still doing something.
At this moment, Shi An actually retrieved the medicine cauldron that had been passed down through generations in Shi Village for countless years. He then placed it under the willow tree and respectfully said, "Willow God, please remove the black metal skin from this!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shen was somewhat puzzled, but said nothing. She slowly extended a willow twig and touched the medicine cauldron.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the medicine cauldron trembled and cracked, and the black outer layer peeled off.
"boom!"
At the same time, the medicine cauldron seemed to be aware of the danger and suddenly shot out a stream of pill fire, attacking Shi An.
Unfortunately, with Liu Shen around, how could this mere alchemical fire truly harm Shi An?
Just as the fire was about to reach Shi An, a layer of emerald green light quietly appeared, acting like a firewall to intercept it.
"Sizzle~"
But in just a moment, the Dan Fire seemed to have used up its last bit of strength and dissipated into nothingness.
"Thank you, Goddess Liu!"
Seeing the vanished alchemical fire, Shi An felt somewhat relieved. After thanking Liu Shen, he placed the mountain treasure on the small white cauldron that had appeared after the medicine cauldron broke, and then silently began to circulate the Primal True Solution.
"Buzz!"
As Shi An operated, the two of them actually vibrated at the same time, and then merged together.
As time passed, Shanbao and the small tripod merged, as if they were complete. There were no more depressions on their bottoms and the walls of the tripod, and they became smooth and complete.
This is a cauldron, and its material is exactly the same as the bone used to record the first part of the original true explanation; it is as white as jade.
Shanbao has disappeared.
The patterns are fused onto the small tripod, densely packed with images and symbols, resembling an ancient, primitive, and unadorned text.
"This is... the original true interpretation, the transcendent chapter?!"
Even an invincible being like Liu Shen was somewhat surprised by this situation, and he created a phantom image, standing quietly in front of Shi An.
The original true explanation is divided into three parts. The first part is divine guidance, the middle part is transcendence, and as for the last part, no one has known it from ancient times to the present.
The first part is widely known, and almost every powerful being has read it, but the second part is little known. Even Liu Shen only knows one part of it and not the other. So how could he not be surprised to see it now?
"You are... the Willow Goddess?"
Looking at the illusory figure of Liu Shen, Shi An couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
Although I already knew that Liu Shending was a person of unparalleled talent and elegance, seeing her in person still made me feel deeply moved.
The illusory figure was hazy and ethereal, as if it had merged with heaven and earth. It was surrounded by a faint green light and exuded an indescribable majesty and holiness, like a primordial deity, peerless in its splendor, looking down on all things and looking down on heaven and earth.
Liu Shen ignored Shi An's surprise, her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze deep and unfathomable as she looked at the fused cauldron, her expression shifting as if recalling the vicissitudes of the distant past.
"I never imagined that the artifacts passed down from the ancestors of Shicun would contain such an astonishing secret. The middle section of the Original True Explanation, an opportunity that many powerful individuals have spent their entire lives searching for, has now appeared in Shicun."
Willow Goddess's voice drifted out, carrying endless emotions.
After saying that, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Shi An. To be honest, she was very curious about how this kid knew all this.
He grew up right under my nose, and I've never seen him acquire anything related to this. How could he know that the medicine cauldron has two layers and can even fuse with the mountain treasure?
However, despite her curiosity, she didn't pry, since the young man himself was hiding a big secret.
Thinking of this, Liu Shen calmly said, "The Transcendence Chapter concerns becoming an immortal. You have already received the inheritance of a true immortal, so you can take this opportunity to verify and understand your own path."
After he finished speaking, Willow God's figure gradually dissipated, and he returned to his original form and entered a state of seclusion.
Although I only observed it for a while, I already understood its meaning, so there's no need to keep an eye on it all the time.
After seeing Liu Shen return to her original form, Shi An also turned his gaze to carefully examine the small white bone cauldron.
Similar to the previous chapter, Divine Guidance, the middle chapter, Transcendence, continues to construct the profound mysteries of the Great Dao using the most basic and simple primitive runes.
The so-called transcendence means surviving the sea of suffering in the mortal world and ultimately achieving immortality and eternal existence.
The Transcendence chapter does not record specific methods, but only the ancient Dao, using the most basic runes in the world to outline the various mysteries of this world and explain the essence of the Great Dao.
It is mysterious and powerful; it is a truly supreme law.
Unlike Willow God, although Shi An carries everything of a true immortal, his own strength is insufficient. Therefore, he cannot remember everything just by observing it like Willow God. Instead, he needs to concentrate and comprehend it with all his heart.
"Snap!"
In the blink of an eye, the sun set and the moon rose. After an unknown amount of time, a violent explosion suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, and a huge bolt of lightning swept across the sky, tearing the entire firmament apart.
The lightning bolt possessed nine colors and a terrifying aura. Accompanied by chaotic energy, it pressed down on the sky, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene that made the entire heavens seem to shatter.
Although the lightning came and went quickly, the oppressive feeling did not disappear.
It was obvious that someone had broken through the boundary wall and wanted to descend from another world and appear in the wilderness.
