Zhunti's helplessness, Chen Qing departs.
Chapter 39 Zhunti's helplessness, Chen Qing departs.
Saint Zhunti and Chen Qing looked at each other, both of them smiling, but the meaning behind their smiles was rather intriguing.
The Sage Zhunti's smile was as if he had discovered an unparalleled treasure. He wanted to bring this unparalleled treasure back to his sect and to the Western Religion to help them flourish.
Chen Qing's smile, however, was an attempt to test the gap between himself and a saint, and also an experiment to see just how strong he had become.
Saint Zhunti looked at Chen Qing, suppressed his smile, and then revealed a solemn expression.
"Nephew Chen Qing, rest assured, I will take you back to Mount Sumeru, where I will preach and chant sutras for you day and night, so that you may become one of the three leaders of my Western Sect."
"As long as you become the third leader of my Western Religion, my senior brother and I, the Sage of Guidance, will hand over the entire Western Religion to you, and you will take charge of the Western Religion, becoming the leader of the religion, second only to the emperor and above all others."
"At that time, you can use the fortune of the Western religion to cultivate, and you will surely be able to break through your cultivation realm and become a Primordial Golden Immortal."
As the sage Zhunti spoke, he painted a beautiful future for Chen Qing.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing could only feel like laughing.
The Great Dao he cultivates is fundamentally different from the Great Dao system practiced in this world; what he cultivates is different from what everyone else cultivates.
He wanted to cultivate to become a mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal. Once he became a mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would be equal to the Dao, eternal, immortal, and indestructible, and his own person would be the Great Dao.
In this world, even those who cultivate to the level of saints have their primordial spirit attached to the Heavenly Dao. Only in this way can they achieve immortality and be untouched by countless calamities.
He shook his head slightly, then spoke softly.
"Sage Zhunti, those who follow different paths cannot work together. At our level, we should both know that once we have confirmed our own path, it is very difficult to change it. Sage, it would be better if you did not make things difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti looked at Chen Qing and smiled indifferently.
"Nephew Chen Qing, if Senior Brother Tongtian was able to help you cultivate to such a level within ten thousand years, if you and I return to Mount Sumeru, with Senior Brother Tongtian and me there, we will surely be able to help you cultivate to such a level within ten thousand years as well."
"No, it's even beyond that level, far more powerful than it is now."
"Nephew Chen Qing, you should know that within the Jie Sect there is only one sage, Senior Brother Tongtian, but in my Western Sect, there are Senior Brother Tongtian and I. In our Western Sect, there are two sages."
The Sage Zhunti greatly admired Chen Qing and seemed determined to bring him back to Mount Sumeru.
Chen Qing, however, was not in a hurry at all. He was not anxious at all. Since the Sage Zhunti wanted to talk to him about these things, he would just continue talking!
At this moment, while observing the Dharma image behind the Sage Zhunti, he was still contemplating his own Dharma image.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti no longer hesitated, and then sighed helplessly.
"Ugh!"
"Since you've said so, then I have no choice but to be ruthless and shatter your Great Dao. Then I'll take you back to Mount Sumeru, where you'll join my Western Sect and rebuild your Great Dao."
"With my junior brother's talent, he should be able to quickly recover to his current level of cultivation after resuming his training."
After saying this, the Sage Zhunti immediately unleashed his divine power and attacked Chen Qing.
This time, however, he no longer hesitated and instead added the power of laws.
As the Sage Zhunti unleashed his attack, Chen Qing looked at it with a solemn expression.
He had already realized that this attack was completely different from the previous ones; this attack was imbued with the power of laws.
Seeing this, Chen Qing no longer hesitated. The long river of laws behind him manifested and was directly attached to himself. Then he mobilized the power of the star river within his body and headed towards the attack of the Sage Zhunti.
The River of Laws manifested, and the endless river of laws began to surge rapidly. Then, a stream of water flowed out from it, joining Chen Qing's attack.
Chen Qing looked at the attack he had just unleashed, his eyes calm and unwavering.
This attack he unleashed was a strike powered by the full force of his galaxy. Chen Qing had enough information to withstand this attack from the Sage Zhunti.
As the Sage Zhunti watched Chen Qing manifest the River of Laws, his pupils contracted as his gaze fell upon it.
The manifestation of laws is a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Only when one comprehends the true meaning of the laws of the Great Dao can the manifestation of laws begin. Only when the laws enter the Dao can the manifestation of laws be truly achieved.
At this moment, Chen Qing succeeded in manifesting his own power of laws, which made the Sage Zhunti show a cautious expression.
Previously, he looked at the river of laws behind Chen Qing and thought it was just an illusion that could not be used. But now, Chen Qing was actually using the power of the river of laws.
"My junior nephew is truly gifted. He can actually manifest the laws and use them with ease. I am truly amazed."
As the two were talking, their attacks began to collide. Although Chen Qing's attack was at a disadvantage, it was still able to withstand the attack launched by the Sage Zhunti.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti's eyes showed a solemn expression as he pondered whether to continue the attack.
Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his attack had successfully blocked the attack launched by the Sage Zhunti.
Saint Zhunti looked at Chen Qing with a determined look in his eyes. Then, he reached out and a tree branch-shaped magic weapon appeared in his hand. The end of the branch was inlaid with various innate agates and gemstones, exuding endless innate aura.
Looking at the tree branch-shaped magical artifact, Chen Qing couldn't help but show a solemn expression, and slowly said, "Seven Treasures Tree."
Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti was not surprised at all, but instead looked at Chen Qing with a serious expression.
"Nephew, be careful from now on."
After saying this, the Sage Zhunti directly attached the power of the law to the Seven Treasures Tree and swept it fiercely in the direction of Chen Qing.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing immediately channeled the power of the galaxy, extending the space-time in front of him infinitely. Then, he channeled the River of Time, allowing it to descend directly into this world.
The appearance of the River of Time and Space immediately broke the confinement of the Sage Zhunti.
Previously, this world was bound by the Sage Zhunti, preventing outsiders from calculating it. Now that the restriction has been broken, outsiders can perceive it.
Saint Zhunti looked at the river of time and space in front of and behind him, his eyes showing astonishment.
"The River of Time and Space".
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Zhunti and slowly nodded.
When Sage Zhunti saw Chen Qing nod, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
He had previously sealed off this place, so he didn't need to worry about others finding out what was happening here. But with the emergence of the River of Time, all of that has been broken.
Chen Qing looked at the Sage Zhunti, and then slowly spoke.
"Saint Zhunti, how about we stop here? If this continues, I'm afraid my master will take the Four Swords of Zhuxian and head straight to Mount Sumeru."
Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti looked at Chen Qing with a complex expression in his eyes. After pondering for a long time, he sighed helplessly.
"Nephew, we are destined to be together, but unfortunately there have been some twists and turns. I believe that you will eventually understand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and then released the Mirage Dragon from the spacetime dimension.
"Saint Zhunti, farewell."
Chen Qing performed a Taoist salute, then glanced at the mirage dragon before heading directly towards the eastern land.
Zhunti watched Chen Qing leave, a hint of resentment in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. He was also afraid that if things continued, the Tongtian Sect Leader would come directly to Mount Sumeru with the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
Furthermore, he knew that he couldn't subdue Chen Qing in a short time and could only let him leave.
After all, the River of Laws and the River of Time and Space had appeared, and even he needed to communicate with the power of the Heavenly Dao to reliably subdue them.
However, if we communicate with the power of the Heavenly Dao, the other sages will definitely know about this, and then things will get complicated.
