Chapter 746: Chapter 630: End of Dharma? The World is Dying! _2

Changmei abruptly shook his head, looking at Wang Zijia, saying, "Do you know what the End of Dharma is?"

Wang Zijia shook his head blankly. He really had no clear concept of it.

Everything he said previously was almost entirely true, or at least partially true.

"The three inheritance paths you speak of, someone already came up with them years ago. The inheritance of Tao Law has never been the ultimate dead end."

Changmei’s words left Wang Zijia stunned in his place, silently waiting for his next words.

"The real reason is that this world is dying, the spirit mechanism is gradually decaying, and the Dao foundation is severed!"

"You can understand it as, spiritual power is continuously declining, natural treasures are gradually becoming scarce and hard to cultivate, and the principles of Heaven and Earth are constantly receding and hard to comprehend."

"The Immortal Fruits of the saints shattered and we that bear the rank of Heaven and Earth—Celestial Immortals, Profound Immortals—all die along with this world. Since we share the same lifespan as Heaven and Earth, we should fall with it."

"Unless someone can revive this world, decay is inevitable."

Wang Zijia was dumbstruck. The other party’s explanation was straightforward and vivid; he instantly understood.

If that is the case, how can the future generations prosper?

Can there be a rebirth after the silence of Heaven and Earth?

So the spiritual energy is dense again?

Do Tao and reason appear again?

However, why aren’t the natural treasures revived?

Why are they increasingly rare?!

At this moment, countless thoughts passed through Wang Zijia’s mind.

"You may leave now!" Changmei, in his solitary mood, spoke as if with a heart of ashes, not continuing his conversation with Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia originally thought of leaving the primer of the three inheritance paths, trying to alter the situation, attempting to change the flow of Space-time.

Resultingly, what he considered the restriction of the End of Dharma was not the core restriction at all. It was actually the easiest problem to solve!

The real issue was that above the Celestial Immortal, as the Heavenly Dao fruit aligns with the Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth decline and the Immortals decay!

"My carelessness!" Wang Zijia bowed respectfully.

Changmei remained silent. Wang Zijia quietly withdrew.

The Great Hall was engulfed in silence.

"Is it the power of Tao Fruit? The reincarnation of saints? And yet, even so, can’t escape the fate of decay and destruction?"

"Crashing the border and returning to the void, the World of the Gods can be so ruthless!!!"

"Ah, I am still somewhat unwilling!"

······

After Wang Zijia left the Great Hall, the Vice Head Teacher looked at Wang Zijia with astonishment.

"Greetings, Head Teacher!" Wang Zijia still bowed respectfully.

"Not dare to accept such a formality. Now that you have become an Immortal seed of Changmei’s Immortal Palace, you can simply call me your Senior Brother!" said Vice Head Teacher Lu Huaitao.

However, his attitude towards Wang Zijia was a bit more courteous.

After all, he is now a Great Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Peak. If it was in the past, he would have to curry favor with Wang Zijia, an Immortal Seed.

But now······

In this End of Dharma Era, becoming an Immortal is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Normally speaking, crossing the Tribulation was the limit of most disciples.

The Immortal Seed wasn’t any different!

After briefly exchanging pleasantries, Lu Huaitao left, and Wang Zijia was left alone on Changmei’s Floating Island.

One of the disciples arranged a courtyard for him, and then Yun Lai was brought up. The two were reluctantly settled in.

······

Since Wang Zijia did not know how long he could stay here, time was of the essence.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to Taiching Palace so hastily and disclosed his intentions to Changmei so abruptly.

However, it seemed that he was winning his bet!

Despite his urgency, Wang Zijia was patiently adapting.

From the next day, Wang Zijia officially became an Immortal Seed of the Taiching Palace under the identity of the orphan of Xuanyao.

Originally, the title of an Immortal Seed was just a status, resources weren’t free, and personal effort was required.

But Changmei allowed Wang Zijia to use some of his resources!

This gave Wang Zijia hope in crossing the Tribulation!

Therefore, Wang Zijia quickly settled down on Changmei Island.

For several consecutive days, Wang Zijia suppressed his anxiety and played chess daily with Yun Lai, amusingly defeating him.

The rest of the time he diligently familiarized himself with Changmei Island and Taiching Palace.

Actually, the palace on Changmei island was only a branch of the actual Taiching Palace!

The real Taiching Palace was located in the Central Immortal Domain, the current locale was just a branch established in the East Wilderness.

However, as the End of Dharma approached, the isolation between the islands increased and they gradually lost contact with the central realm, slowly turning these branches into the main headquarters.

······

One day, when Wang Zijia had just barely familiarized himself with Taiching Palace, he couldn’t wait anymore.

He floated down to visit the cluster of Immortal Palaces he had been to earlier and met Assistant Head Teacher Lu Huaitao, who was responsible for most of the miscellaneous tasks of the Taiching Palace and was a major figure in the Crossing Tribulation phase.

"I pay my respects to Senior Brother!" In his office, Wang Zijia greeted him respectfully.

"Isn’t it Junior Brother Yun Zhong, how have you settled on the island these past few days?" Lu Huaitao rose enthusiastically and welcomed Wang Zijia.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, I’ve managed to adapt!" Wang Zijia responded calmly.

"What brings you here today? Something you need?" Lu Huaitao asked directly, without beating around the bush.

Having a casual conversation in such circumstances was inappropriate for both of them.

Wang Zijia nodded, saying, "Indeed, there is something I need from Senior Brother. I want to inquire about what I can currently apply for, including some resource permissions given by Changmei’s Immortal Venerate."

Lu Huaitao was taken aback, and said, "What do you need, Junior Brother? I will check for you."

"Cultivation Methods, Crossing Tribulation Spiritual Objects, some Elixirs for cultivation. How many of these can I apply for in total?" Wang Zijia asked directly.

"All of them?" Lu Huaitao responded, dumbstruck.

Wang Zijia nodded,

Lu Huaitao eyed him doubtfully and asked, "Junior Brother, you haven’t been at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit phase for long, have you?"

"My situation is a bit special. Changmei’s Immortal Venerate has opened up resources for me precisely because of this." Wang Zijia replied.

Having heard this, Lu Huaitao no longer objected.

He took out an object. Unlike the light screens of the future that resembled virtual screens, several flickering characters appeared from the void, suspended in front of the two men.

"Junior Brother, take a look for yourself!"

Hearing this, Wang Zijia looked and sensed those unique characters. The next moment, relevant information emerged in his mind.

This traditional Immortal Path technique, Wang Zijia was experiencing for the first time.

The principle was not complicated and should have been a similar method to using Jade Slips. Seeing them, he mentally made a list:

Name: Li Shenghong

Taoist Name: Yun Zhong

Identity: Changmei Immortal Seed (Orphan of Mystical Lineage)

Heavenly Merit: 10 (Special approval by Changmei Island)

Seeing the ten points of Heavenly Merit, Wang Zijia didn’t know how much it represented!

But when he saw below that the main ingredient of a spiritual object for the Tribulation period required only one or two points of Heavenly Merit, he realized how abundant the wealth at hand was.

Although the Taiching Palace had declined, it was still a super faction, and its reserves were quite abundant.

Of course, not all the spiritual objects Wang Zijia needed were available.

The spiritual objects best suited for Wang Zijia’s Crossing Tribulation were four in total: the Bodhi-Tianxin crystal used by Zhang Decheng for his breakthrough, which suited Wang Zijia’s Inheritance Tradition, in addition to the Eye of Time, Molten Demon Heart, and finally a common sixth-grade spiritual object for harmonization.

The common and Molten Demon Heart were available in the Taiching Palace’s Information Library, but the Eye of Time, a sixth-grade spiritual object belonging to space-time, was rare and precious.

However, after Wang Zijia carefully searched the library, he found a special crystal produced by extraordinary Sinners that contained faint hints of this power.

As a result, Wang Zijia, who originally thought he would need to go through a lot of trouble to search for Crossing Tribulation spiritual objects, gathered all the necessary ones with ease.

He even chose a large batch of Elixirs and a copy of Taiching Daoist Canon, a core cultivation book of the Taiching Palace that leads directly to the Earth Immortal stage!

His identity and the like were absolutely satisfactory!

In total, he spent 12 points of Heavenly Merit!

To arrange this, Wang Zijia had to take on several exorcising demons tasks in advance, pre-paying the reward to gather enough.

After he finished, Wang Zijia turned to the Head Teacher and said: "Head Teacher, Senior Brother, I have finished my preparation!"

When Lu Huaitao saw the detailed information, he was taken aback.

"Junior Brother, you truly are an impatient one!" Lu Huaitao finally remarked.

"I don’t have much time left!" Wang Zijia simply replied.
