Chapter 243 - 226 Resurgence of Heaven and Earth
the longevity dao fruit is zhou yi’s greatest confidence.
no matter how poor the talent or how harsh the environment, as long as one lived, there’d be a day when immortality could be attained.
nowadays, in this age of the ultimate decline of cultivation, "i alone possess the law" was zhou yi’s second greatest confidence, otherwise he would not dare to actively interfere with the course of history, preferring to hide in kunlun cave heaven and cultivate in seclusion for a thousand years.
"are there still spiritual objects left in the world? impossible!"
"after a thousand years, even the formation that seals spiritual objects would be hard to maintain; it must be a new source of spiritual energy."
zhou yi’s brow furrowed slightly, this matter had to be clarified as it concerned how he would act in the future.
at night.
gufang studio.
shopkeeper gu had a strange dream where he relived the transaction from a few days ago once again in his dream.
dream entering formula.
a secret buddhist divine skill that reads minds, it inflicts far less harm on the souls of mortals than the soul searching technique.
zhou yi’s face showed a strange look, never expecting that shopkeeper gu, who was always friendly and smiling, was actually the leader of a tomb-robbing gang across continents.
"the copper pot comes from an ancient tomb in qiong continent!"
clouds formed under his feet, transforming into a streak of escape light and flying westward.
qiong continent.
under the rule of the ghost king sect a thousand years ago, it was once a blessed land of green mountains and rivers for cultivation; now without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it had become dry and rainless year-round, completely turning into a desert.
with the collapse of the nation, the population gathered near the oases, forming tribes.
the rise of da zhou technology, the mining of coal, and the increased value of oil, for example, brought back some vitality to qiong continent.
"green ghost tribe."
zhou yi stood in the clouds, looking down at the settlement of thousands of people situated at the foot of a mountain range, with a river running through it.
the tribe was pitch black without any light; after flying for just two days, it felt like he had traveled back in time several hundred years to an old rural village.
his divine sense swept over and quickly found the elder who had dealt with shopkeeper gu, the elder of the green ghost tribe.
his escape light descended into the elder’s home. unlike the surrounding sandstone buildings, the house was completely built with green bricks. there was also an oil-powered generator in the courtyard, chattering away and providing cooling for the house through air conditioning.
dream entering technique.
zhou yi read the elder’s memories, learning that last year’s snowmelt caused a landslide, revealing the nameless ancient tomb within.
the elder led people to thoroughly excavate the tomb and transported it to the border of da zhou to be sold to the artifact dealer shopkeeper gu, including a bronze pot whose authenticity could not be discerned.
the pot was not meant for storing wine, but was a treasure named four seas pot, which normally stored boundless water and could unleash the might of flooding oceans during a fight!
"first, let’s take a look at that ancient tomb."
zhou yi, who had cultivated in hiding during the era of declining magic and martial arts, had broken through to the mid-stage of the golden core realm in the eastern sea a hundred years ago.
after a thousand years of accumulation, breaking through came as naturally as water flows into a channel, yet the change in strength was not obvious, and even less significant than having cultivated a stellar body.
"if i cut off another ancestral vein and use the growth of the building wood spiritual energy, perhaps i can reach the peak of the golden core. the ancestral vein, even though it differs from ordinary spirit veins, given its weakness at birth, i might still be able to destroy it!"
zhou yi looked up at the sky, realizing that this act could truly be considered going against the heavens, and he did not know if it would succeed.
"immeasurable heavenly honored one!"
"i’ve been at ease for too long in my secluded cultivation during this declining era, and have developed attachments and concerns for gain and loss. whether cutting off the ancestral vein succeeds or fails, i will not be insistent!"
zhou yi shook his head slightly and put away the jade slip, returning to retreat in kunlun cave heaven to cultivate the tai xuan jing while absorbing spiritual energy.
the speed at which the world was reviving exceeded zhou yi’s expectations. he had thought it would take two to three thousand years, giving him enough time to reach the peak of the golden core and then break through to the nascent soul with the help of newly born spiritual objects during the revival.
"an earlier revival doesn’t matter, i’ve spent two thousand years in arduous cultivation pursuing the dao, am i not able to outdo a few youngsters?"
zhou yi suddenly thought of xuan xiao’s contrary slash to transform divinity and his expression unconsciously became rigid, silently chanting the heart sutra to suppress his competitive heart.
"the era belongs to the young, eternity belongs to me!"
...
the next day.
the pawnshop opened.
zhou yi greeted familiar customers, claiming he had returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and re-arranged the formation at the entrance.
any emergence of spiritual energy on the street would immediately send a message.
"the whereabouts of the graves of nobles and dignitaries are often in feng shui treasure spots, blending into the antique trade to listen for news was truly the right choice. however, the antique trade belongs to the people, and it is not sensitive to the movements of the imperial court, i still need an official identity!"
zhou had some ideas in mind, but he was not in a rush to implement them. even if the revival of spirit veins was fast, it would still take two to three hundred years.
he took out his phone that had not been used for a year from his storage bag, only to discover upon leaving cloud continent that there was absolutely no communication signal, rendering it completely useless like a brick.
he logged into his account, the beeping sound was incessant.
zhou yi had less than ten friends, and after scanning the messages with his divine sense, he read through them quickly, replying one by one to report safety.
xiao ran had sent the most messages, initially about acquiring a counterfeit antique from a classmate, unable to contact zhou yi repeatedly, assuming he was in closed-door cultivation for martial practice.
latterly, xiao ran contacted him once a month, until sending dozens of messages three days ago consecutively.
"true monarch, do you believe in ghosts in this world?"
"i really saw one, and i punched it to pieces, but no one believes me!"
"that ghost lingers on line 7, i’ve seen it again, and i’ve scattered it again!"
"they all say i’m having hallucinations and even asked me to see a psychiatrist. damn it, i’m not sick..."
xiao ran sent dozens of messages in a row, both text and voice, with an urgent and intense tone, obviously scared by the ghostly entity, having his worldview shattered and yet being doubted by everyone.
