Chapter 880: Chapter 90: Celestial Pavilion [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

The situation on Shu Mountain was chaotic, and Master Wen Yuan had temporarily activated the Mountain Protection Array, isolating Red Cotton Peak from the inner peaks, to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the chaos for nefarious purposes. Meanwhile, the disciples of Shu Mountain Sect were flying around everywhere, and groups of Spirit Birds and Exotic Beasts were striving to rebuild the Sect.

At this moment, Immortal Qi Jing sensed a Spiritual Sense, which seemed to be some sort of message. He immediately looked up, took a step forward, and found himself outside the Mountain Protection Array. Another step, and he was already on a desolate mountain dozens of miles away.

There, a middle-aged man dressed in a green Taoist robe was waiting, who appeared to have significant cultivation.

Immortal Qi Jing, who had been looking relaxed, immediately turned sharp upon seeing the Taoist robe, his gaze turning as predatory as a lion or tiger spotting its prey.

"There’s no need to be tense, I’ve come to deliver a message on behalf of someone else," the man said indifferently, "My name is Yang Buwei, perhaps you’ve heard of me."

"I haven’t," Immortal Qi Jing responded directly.

"..." The man choked for a moment, paused, then continued, "You are still too young."

"Who sent you to deliver the message, someone from Shenxu Temple?" Immortal Qi Jing asked.

"You should be able to guess who it is," Yang Buwei responded, "Naturally, it’s the person you think of night and day."

Immortal Qi Jing’s eyes lit up as if he wanted to ask something, hesitated, but then held back.

"She knows you’re going to find her, so she asked me to relay some words to you," Yang Buwei continued, "She knows she can’t stop you, and she’s willing to stand with you, but you must not venture blindly because you might only get one chance. Merely taking a Divine Artifact with you is not enough."

Immortal Qi Jing remained silent.

He had expected this, as a Tianyuan cultivator equipped with a Divine Artifact is formidable enough to stand unchallenged across the Nine States. But if that was all, Shenxu Temple would not be able to dominate among the Immortal Sects of the world.

"You can do whatever else you want, but do not kill anyone," Yang Buwei added, "If anyone dares to attack someone from Shenxu Temple, the Jiang Family of the past serves as a warning."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Qi Jing finally spoke, "Did the Jiang Family kill someone from Shenxu Temple back then?"

"Back when you were out on business, the head of the temple had someone bring Miss Bai back to Shenxu Temple because it’s forbidden for people inside to contact the outside world, much less to marry," Yang Buwei explained, "The head of the Jiang Family knew this rule but still harbored Miss Bai. The head of the temple only demanded his eyes as punishment."

"The head of the Jiang Family refused to accept the punishment, killed the guardian, and planned to ally with various Immortal Clans to attack Shenxu Temple..." Yang Buwei went on, "This was a major taboo."

"Before he could send his message, the head of the temple had already made his move, giving the Jiang Family no chance this time."

"If he hadn’t sent out the message yet, how did you know he intended to contact the other Immortal Clans?" Immortal Qi Jing asked slowly.

"You know about the ’Omniscience’ of Celestial Pavilion, don’t you?" Yang Buwei replied with an air of knowing it all, patiently answering, "Actually, that Omniscience is just the First Volume of the Heavenly Scroll, which can explore the ’cause’ of things in the world. But inside Shenxu Temple, there is a Celestial Pavilion containing the Second Volume of the Heavenly Scroll, which can explore the ’effect’ in the world. The head of the temple saw the outcome from the Second Volume of the Heavenly Scroll before taking action against the Jiang Family."

Immortal Qi Jing was unfamiliar with the so-called "Heavenly Scroll." However, he had encountered the "Omniscience" in Celestial Pavilion; that Divine Artifact doesn’t provide direct outcomes but offers a series of trajectories that the Observing Heavenly Meridian in the Pavilion then interprets. This matched with what Yang Buwei had described.

In that case, if the two volumes of the Heavenly Scroll were combined, wouldn’t it be another Divine Artifact-level treasure?

"If that’s the case, then there’s no way I could succeed," Immortal Qi Jing said, "The moment I conceive a thought, you would have already known everything."

"Your actions won’t be known," Yang Buwei shook his head and said, "First, because the Second Volume of the Heavenly Scroll records all effects in the world, the head of the temple won’t monitor everything at all times. He needs to actively search for an answer to find one."

"Secondly, because... "

"The Guardian of Celestial Pavilion is none other than Miss Bai."

...

"Miss Jiang has also broken through to the Seventh Realm, it seems the Shu Mountain Sect is truly blessed with outstanding talents, it looks like the Daoist Master Jue Yun has firmly passed on the lineage."

Chen Erniu squatted on a large rock, watching Jiang Yuebai selecting a sword and spoke in a low voice.

Chu Liang stood beside him, consoling him, "Senior, while we’re still young, changing paths wouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Emperor of the Western Sea could only offer a bitter smile, if changing paths were not difficult, why hadn’t Daoist Yan changed?

Grasping a great Dao is simple, but pushing a Dao to the threshold of the Eighth Realm requires many opportunities for sudden enlightenment, how could that be easy?

But Daoist Yan, born with demon blood and exceptional talents, had managed to compete for the Dao successfully from him. Besides the interference of those beguiled by Mars, the most crucial part was that she had already driven herself into a perilous situation.

Her ability to compete for the Dao from him at the Seventh Realm meant that at the Eighth Realm, he wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if faced with the same circumstances as back then, Daoist Yan wouldn’t lose.

This merely showed that she had surpassed him in the Daoist Master Jue Yun.

In this regard, Chen Erniu admitted defeat.

But if one were to change paths, what should one cultivate?

Having cultivated Daoist Master Jue Yun for half of his life and suddenly losing the Dao truly left him feeling lost. Yet, he couldn’t just give in, especially since he still had a wife and kids, a whole country to support; Suspended Sword Country couldn’t always rely on the protection of Shu Mountain.

Chen Erniu, having lost his way in midlife, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with confusion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuebai was selecting a preferred sword from the few hundred fine Flying Swords brought out from the Shu Mountain Divine Boat Secret Realm.

According to the original agreement, these Flying Swords all belonged to Sun Moon Tower.

However, Chu Liang had just obtained Uncle Yin’s consent to purchase one at a high price to gift it to Jiang Yuebai.

Uncle Yin, excitedly waving his hands, insisted on giving it for free. After all, the fact that Shu Mountain had upheld their promise even after obtaining the divine artifact was a most fortunate affair. Moreover, without Immortal Qi Jing and the others, he would never have been able to find his father.

Speaking of Father Yin, this senior, upon emerging from the secret realm, didn’t say a word and transformed directly into a rainbow streak heading southeast, and no one knew where he went next.

"Father!" Uncle Yin called out, puzzled, "What is so urgent?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Beilang chuckled, said, "If you were stuck in a God-forsaken place for over a hundred years, what would be the first thing you’d want to do once you got out?"

"I would definitely go to..." Uncle Yin paused to think, suddenly took a sharp breath, and muttered, "I’m about to be six feet under, and you’d better not be bringing me a brother or sister..."

"Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll make sure to look after him," Lin Bei patted his chest, "We’ll just all treat each other like brothers."

Uncle Yin looked at this young man, who was young enough to be his grandson, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing them chatting away, Chu Liang also came over and asked, "Uncle Yin, about that matter I mentioned on the way back, what do you think?"

"Young Hero Chu, are you referring to what you mentioned before... " Uncle Yin replied, "The acquisition?"
