Ch 257: The World’s First Heavenly Dao VS The Descended Heavenly Dao Chu Mo
At this moment, Chu Mo was contemplating a very serious question.
“Which time period should I… land in?”
Logically, the earlier the better, but the problem is… Qin’s logic is different from that after the Han Dynasty. After all, according to the information already obtained, the heavens and earth only began to decline formally after the Heavenly Dao fell.
For him, who possessed the Point Allocation Golden Finger, as long as the upper limit of the heavens and earth was sufficient, it would be enough for him to allocate points to the peak. In other words… perhaps, the Qin Dynasty and the Shang and Zhou periods were the same for him?
No, no, no, in a sense, perhaps the Qin Dynasty was safer. After all, there were Sages descending to the mortal world during the Shang Dynasty.
After repeatedly thinking about it, Chu Mo still decided to go to the more distant era as much as possible. In the final analysis, even if the upper limit of the heavens and earth was the same, the concentration of spiritual energy, cultivation resources, etc… were likely to have huge differences. Although it shouldn’t affect the point allocation… but with better things available, why settle for something slightly worse?
Then…
“…I’ll fuck your old mother.” Chu Mo looked at the suddenly chaotic River of Time, his expression changed drastically, and his scalp tingled.
If the River of Time from the early Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty was like a gentle stream, and it was like a vast Yangtze River when he first entered the Qin Dynasty… then now, the movement was like a sea, and a sea with a tornado.
Great terror! Great annihilation!
Strands of Dao light were intertwined.
Between the lines, an extremely terrifying existence was roaring and roaring.
Chu Mo almost instantly locked on to who this existence was… it was the fallen Heavenly Dao before the Qin Dynasty!
Even if it had lost the authority of the Heavenly Dao, it was still the one who knew the Heavenly Dao best in this world.
“Hmm?” Chu Mo saw that in a certain drop of water, there was an unfathomable existence that he couldn’t see clearly, as if completely condensed by laws, slowly raising its head, as if it was looking around, and as if it was thinking.
“There is actually life… able to… travel against the River of Time? Such a thing…” It seemed to be expressing admiration, and seemed to be simply stating a fact.
Chu Mo: “???”
Chu Mo’s expression finally changed. This was the first time he had discovered… that there was an existence that could perceive him!
“Now that I think about it, if it’s the Heavenly Dao… the Dao Ancestor, it doesn’t seem entirely incomprehensible!”
Chu Mo’s expression was deep. After all, when he fell from the River of Time to the mortal world before, when he had not yet condensed his body, Liu Bang had keenly sensed something was wrong. No matter how talented Liu Bang was, he was ultimately just a tycoon at the Eighth Level Peak…
The Heavenly Dao… no matter how much you overestimate it, it’s not an exaggeration! Moreover, Vast Heaven himself involved the power of time. The Heavenly Dao’s attainments in this area… would only be deeper!
Taking another step forward, Chu Mo’s pupils contracted, because he discovered that the forbidden existences in the heavens and earth he had crossed before were also raising their heads…
Accompanied by the changes of the existences in different timelines symbolized by those drops of water, the movement of the River of Time became more and more terrifying, and even the space-time turbulence was stirred up.
And these terrifying waves crashed heavily on Chu Mo’s body. The water of time, composed of drops of water symbolizing different time periods, violently corroded everything.
The moment they touched, it was just a breath, but it felt like endless years had passed.
Fortunately, the Doors of Time that Chu Mo controlled trembled slightly, dispersing all the power of time. However, the energy was also constantly being consumed…
Then… Chu Mo took another step forward.
Another terrifying wave was set off, heavily hitting Chu Mo.
“…Damn it, it seems it wasn’t an illusion… but why suddenly! Wait, could it be because that great terror, raising its head represents the change in the timeline, but this change… hasn’t reached the point of splitting off other Rivers of Time.” Chu Mo thought of many things.
“I can’t hold on anymore! Damn it, I was thinking about going forward as much as possible… but now it seems that some things are simply not something I can choose at this moment… in the end, I’m still too weak.” Chu Mo sighed and made a decision, choosing to descend to the world.
At this moment, he completely submerged into a certain drop of water.
◈◈◈
Great Zhou Era. End Calendar!
Zhao State, Handan.
Chu Mo rubbed his bleeding forehead and fell into deep thought. What… what’s going on?!
“Bastard! Bastard.”
“Bastard without a father or mother.”
“Hahahaha!”
In front of him were several children with tender faces, wantonly mocking him. Seeing him prop himself up, the children froze for a moment, a hint of panic appearing on their faces, but after looking him over for a moment, they muttered to each other, feeling that it didn’t seem like he was faking death, and malicious smiles reappeared on their faces. That kind of smile… was out of place with their current age.
After Chu Mo recalled the information of this moment, his mood was complex and subtle to the extreme. He… was being bullied?!
In this life, he was a little beggar without a father or mother, adopted by an old beggar, barely growing up. The old beggar called him Zhao Beggar… not long ago, the old beggar also passed away! And he, now on the road to begging for food… was directly beaten to death by the children of the powerful in Handan.
“…” Although Chu Mo was used to it, he could only awaken his memories when he was near death or actually died. But being beaten to death by three children who had never cultivated… after transmigrating so many times, this was a first in his life.
“Eh?!”
“How strange… wasn’t his face beaten to a pulp before? How is it healing?!”
“This kind of recovery power! He’s not like a human! He must be a monster!”
“Maybe he’s a hybrid of a monster and a human… I heard my dad say that!”
“Cut off his hands and legs and see if he can continue to recover.”
The children of Handan continued to surround him.
“…As expected, this is a place where even Qin Shi Huang would be bullied if he came!” Chu Mo muttered in a low voice, then his eyes narrowed, and he directly began Heroic Spirit Summoning. He wasn’t angry… how could an adult be angry with children? He would just kill these children and their nine generations later, and then forgive them…
The one he summoned… was naturally the Heavenly Dao!
The only pity was… because he hadn’t gone back, the Eighth Level Peak Heroic Spirit didn’t seem to have condensed into a Heroic Spirit yet. There was no way to summon it… but even if it was just the Heavenly Dao from the early Tang Dynasty, it was enough… it was definitely not a weakling in this era.
Then!
Above the firmament, dark clouds were dense, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and an aura of extinction that was difficult to describe in words was flowing at this moment.
This vast and majestic city under his feet seemed to have its time completely frozen at this moment. Then, one incredible voice after another suddenly rang out.
“What happened?!”
“Something’s wrong… something’s definitely wrong! Why is there a Heavenly Tribulation… could it be that someone is undergoing tribulation on our side? Which idiot is it!”
“Even if it’s a tribulation, it shouldn’t be like this… we have a Sky-Shielding Formation Diagram! Not to mention, our Zhao royal family, the ancestral lineage has set up all kinds of methods… wait, this scale of Heavenly Tribulation… something’s wrong, we’re done for, we’re completely done for…”
“Handan is finished!”
The scale of the Heavenly Tribulation was constantly expanding with the passage of time. That destructive aura… seemed to completely shatter everything! It also had a power to break through realms.
One terrifying aura after another was boiling.
In the distance, there was a terrifying immortal palace standing in mid-air, stretching endlessly, with divine light and splendor. However, at this moment, one terrifying tycoon after another rushed out from inside, their faces panicked, and they quickly fled outwards, obviously abandoning everything in Handan.
“…Is it a problem with the Heavenly Dao?!” Chu Mo belatedly realized that he had done something quite stupid. There was already a Heavenly Dao in this era… this was precisely the fundamental reason why he couldn’t use the authority of the Heavenly Dao even after crossing the River of Time…
However, the Heroic Spirit Skills of the Heavenly Dao Heroic Spirit included the authority of the Heavenly Dao, so the question was… two Heavenly Daos in one life! What did this mean?
This meant blasphemy!
And it was the kind of blasphemy that involved the very foundation of the Heavenly Dao…
Chu Mo didn’t hesitate and stopped the Heroic Spirit Summoning, although he wasn’t sure if doing so would be useful. But he was also prepared… if it didn’t work, he would just run back! Anyway, he had already secured a Heavenly Dao Heroic Spirit as a backup…
◈◈◈
Even in that chaotic sea of great rifts, he couldn’t defeat those forbidden-level chaotic beasts… but running away was always possible.
Then…
The Heavenly Tribulation in the sky actually froze in place, and brilliant divine light intertwined, gradually condensing into a huge, unimaginable eye. The scale of that eye was already comparable to the city under his feet.
There was a deathly silence.
Those tycoons who were fleeing at top speed also fell to the ground at this moment, respectfully prostrating themselves, their bodies touching the ground.
Or rather, as far as Chu Mo could see, everyone was kneeling on the ground. Even those children who had bullied him before… were the same, but their eyes were blank, as if they didn’t realize why they were kneeling down.
“…Instinct?” Chu Mo glanced around. Now, only he was still standing. Not standing, but not kneeling either.
The cold and emotionless eyes finally stared fixedly at Chu Mo. Chu Mo raised his eyebrows and glared back, afraid of you?
After a long time… that eye slowly closed, and the world-destroying lightning gradually dissipated at this moment. Everything seemed to return to the way it was before.
However, a full half an incense stick’s time still passed before people gradually began to discuss, their voices trembling.
“I… oh my god…”
“What happened?!”
“What exactly was that just now…”
“Was a great power undergoing tribulation? But this scale… could it be a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal from the legends?”
“I suspect that it was our King of Zhao, about to take that step! That’s why it caused the heavens and earth to tremble.”
Of course.
The King of Zhao was very self-aware. He heard the surrounding conversations, and his heart was in a panic… he caused it? He was still kneeling on the ground!
“…Your Majesty?!”
The eunuchs on the left and right still hadn’t gotten up, because their legs were also a little weak.
“…Go!” The King of Zhao gritted his teeth, “Find out the reason for this sudden change… at all costs! Even if… even if we turn the entire Handan World City upside down, we must find that person…”
“Yes, yes, yes,” The King of Zhao stammered, “Be very, very polite to him… don’t offend him!”
After dancing on the line of life and death, if you ask the King of Zhao if he had any anger in his heart, the answer would definitely be yes. But he also had a brain… although the people were discussing whether he had broken through to the Grand Supreme, he was still stuck at the Half-Step Grand Supreme, and he was very self-aware.
The scale of the tribulation was probably only this big when a Grand Supreme broke through to Quasi-Sage… it was too scary! It was really too scary… such an existence might be difficult to destroy the Zhao State, one of the Seven Warring States!
But as long as they wanted to, they could easily change the throne of the Zhao Kingdom—
This was the influence that a tycoon of this level possessed!
What is a Quasi-Sage?
Back then, the Confucian Sage Confucius lamented that the world had changed too much, that rites and music had collapsed, and that the world was in chaos. One day, he broke through from a mortal to a Quasi-Sage, unparalleled in the world. With one word, he established a new order… not allowing the already chaotic Seven Kingdoms to wantonly attack each other again, making the collapse of rites and music even more thorough.
Thus, the world really became stable.
Even if there was still war, few people dared to involve themselves in wars of annihilation.
The reason why the King of Zhao was thinking that the person behind the scenes would dare to only control the throne and not destroy the country… was also because if they really destroyed the country and wanted to destroy the order, it meant that this actor would directly confront the Confucian Sage who had not been seen for a long time.
◈◈◈
At the same time.
Qi State.
Jixia Academy.
Confucius stared blankly in the direction of the Zhao State, his eyes flashing with light, as if he was thinking about something.
“…Teacher.” Mencius cautiously opened his mouth.
“…It’s a troubled time!” Confucius closed his eyes and didn’t say anything more about this.
His many disciples looked at each other, secretly guessing that this involved the great secrets of the heavens and earth… their strength was too weak, so they were not qualified to listen.
But the actual situation was…
Confucius couldn’t understand it! He only felt that the aura of destruction was flowing, and he was even thinking… what great evil had Zhao State done… that the terrifying aura was completely aimed at destroying the entire world!
But he had already prepared himself for the destruction of Zhao State.
The problem was… it suddenly ended!
The end was also so confusing to Confucius. So what exactly happened in Zhao State?
It wasn’t even a Heavenly Tribulation acting up… it just came out to bubble and scare people?!
◈◈◈
Above the firmament.
In the Hall of Celestial Glory.
The gods who were holding the Peach Banquet before were kneeling on the ground.
As the head of the female immortals, the Queen Mother of the West was still sitting on the divine throne, but her face was also a little unsightly. After a while, she opened her mouth with a bit of hoarseness, as if talking to herself, and as if she was telling someone something.
“…Sage?”
“…Although I can’t understand it! But perhaps it can only be so.” The Jade Emperor on the divine throne nodded blankly. In his peak period, he was too divine… every word contained an extremely sacred power, imprinted in the void, sonorous and powerful, and the words were like the great sun.
He, or rather, It, at this moment was like a collection of countless laws.
“But, it’s too strange… I didn’t feel the position of the Sage of Heaven and Earth change…” The Jade Emperor was still confused.
“Moreover, all the Sages have gone far away, and in this time period… no matter which angle you analyze it from, there is no possibility of another Sage appearing! Most importantly…”
The Jade Emperor stopped talking. He, who was previously the One of Heaven, inexplicably felt a kind of tremor… as if… a new existence was about to arrive on his head!
But, there was only that one on his head… no matter which angle you analyze it from, that was a unique existence, how could a new one arrive? But if it was an illusion… He felt that he shouldn’t have weakened to this point!
The Jade Emperor took a deep look below. His pupil power was too powerful, and without even using divine power, he broke through the barrier between realms and truly saw the scenes that were happening in Handan.
But he could only see… that Handan City was in chaos at this moment, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t see anything unusual.
Perhaps using divine power could deduce many clues… but the Jade Emperor said that he didn’t dare to.
Because he combined the situation he had felt before… and had already guessed many possibilities.
If he really deduced it… who knew what he could deduce… none of the things he had guessed before were something he could deduce or touch now.
“…Continue the music, continue the dance.” In the end, the Jade Emperor waved his hand peacefully, still deciding to pretend that nothing had happened.
