Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 518 A Stunning View
Far more vast than the previous Nine Nether Immortal Light, its level was entirely different.
Mr. Gu was greatly shocked.
He had understood everything.
The First Jade Purity wasn't hiding.
Nor was he plotting something.
Even less was he trying to devour himself, or use him as a calamity to overcome, nor was he treating himself as his inner demon or anything of the sort.
"He is the source of all this Great Light and Shadow?"
A look of sudden realization appeared on Mr. Gu's face.
Yes.
It was the Lord of Great Imagery.
"The Immortal Path is dead, the Immortal Path is dead; so you wanted to send me on my way, and the reason you asked someone else to eliminate me instead of doing it yourself is because I am also part of the myriad phenomena that you have derived, so self-severance would be incomplete, is that right?"
"Is that right?"
Mr. Gu stared at Ji Xiang, but the answer he received plunged him into confusion again.
"No."
Ji Xiang shook his head: "He didn't think about eliminating you. This divine power was indeed given to me by him, but initially, this divine power was not meant to deal with you, nor did he say so."
"It was only after I pressed him that he told me that this divine power could eliminate you."
Mr. Gu fell into a long silence, and then, an extraordinary rage surged in his chest, this was the true, ultimate anger of the world, a massive emotion of unified multitude acquired by devouring tens of millions of phenomena.
Yin energy rose, transforming into a blazing flame, dazzling to the extreme.
This was the "Taiyin Calamity Fire."
When the world comes to an end, all things sprout and converge in Taiyin; the calamity fire blazes, and the Great Thousand is destroyed.
Ji Xiang looked at that blaze and saw the karma of Mr. Gu.
For Mr. Gu at this moment.
Indifference was the greatest humiliation.
If the opponent were to go to great lengths to eliminate him, he wouldn't feel anything even if he were in a sorry state. As the incarnation of the Immortal Path, he originally thought that he was destined to integrate Jade Purity and prove himself as the Primordial Heavenly Lord, but the true Lord of Great Imagery had been watching him all along, and only now did he realize this.
He was never Primordial.
There was never a Primordial in this world!
The Primordial Heavenly Lord was a title moved out of the Profound Imagery by the Nine Nether Eradication Heavenly Lord, it was the embodiment of the Primordial Path, it could never be proven. The Primordial Heavenly Lord that the world spoke of being able to prove, as well as that divine tablet, and the holy titles possessed by all Jade Purity cultivators—all of them were things within the Great Imagery.
"Within the Great Imagery, I devoured all the Jade Purity cultivators, but that's the greatest dead end in the world? I am also on a dead end, and walking farther than anyone else? Hahahaha!"
"Impossible! I have been moving forward, so that's not a dead end! I understand what you and he mean, you all think that I can't surpass the limits of light and shadow? That it's impossible forever?"
"I will open the Immortal Path again in front of you!"
As Mr. Gu spoke these words, the ball of Nine Nether Immortal Light in Ji Xiang's hand suddenly surged violently, the light scattering and illuminating past and future, shattering all paths, causing myriad phenomena to revert to their original state, ceasing to exist.
Mr. Gu was frozen in place, maintaining his wild and frenzied appearance, his everything, under this light, became an "image."
A phantom image extracted.
"Yes, it's because you absolutely can reopen the Immortal Path that this divine power exists. This divine power is called 'Absolute Scenery'."
"It can extract the image of that thing, so even if it possesses the world's unparalleled form, spirit, soul, body, thought, and heart, even if it adds the Mandate of Heaven bestowed by the Heaven Above Heaven, without the existence of the image, it cannot do anything, and even will not leave any trace in the world; it clearly exists, but it has never existed."
"Everything in this world has been arranged long ago... On the path of Primordial, form and spirit are simple imitations; thought and heart are the cornerstones of enlightenment; possessing the Mandate of Heaven, the fate set by the Heaven Above Heaven or the Lord of Great Imagery, only then can one enter the gate of Jade Purity and have a way to continue walking."
"That is, having one's own image."
"If you were to reopen the Immortal Path, what kind of Immortal Path would that be? Having swallowed the nine strongest of Jade Purity to accomplish such a great undertaking and reach the current realm, you were born as the end, trapped in the future of the future, because the past has been destroyed by you, you have no future of your own, the future in which you exist only possesses the dead silence of the Immortal Path's destruction."
"Since you are the ender, a collector of laws rather than a transmitter of laws, even if you reopen the Immortal Path, would you be willing to pass these laws on to the next batch of people?"
Ji Xiang's voice was inexplicably strange, and that piece of Nine Nether Immortal Light was suddenly grasped by Ji Xiang, and did not directly smash into the frozen Mr. Gu.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't make you an absolute scenery here."
Turning his head, Ji Xiang looked at that Supreme again. That Supreme's eyes did not contain any emotion, nor were they shaken by the Nine Nether Immortal Light.
The Supreme is undefeated.
Anything he sees as hostile, any behavior directed against him becomes futile. The phenomena of events perish as soon as they appear. The sprouts of all things die as soon as they are born.
"You are holding something prepared for me. However, it is common in cultivation for treasures left over from the past to be accidentally obtained by others."
Ji Xiang: "I'm here to take away that Dharma Realm. There are things I need inside."
The Jade Divine Plate and the Azure Duckweed Sword, along with the completion of the Human Dao Dharma Realm, were sealed within it. The vast Dharma Realm condensed from the entire real human world was a history condensed from thousands of years, with countless cultivators and the myriad phenomena appearing and disappearing in succession, and countless gods being sacrificed and sitting for a long time within human temples.
And those old shadows, who had not truly died, but had become the spirituality of the Dharma Realm, could go to the next light and shadow.
"No."
The Supreme firmly replied: "I must retrieve the path of half my body! The Human Dao Dharma Realm is also mine."
Ji Xiang shook his head: "Wanting everything, I am also such a person. It seems there is no way to have a good talk."
Mr. Gu was also a person who wanted everything.
So was he.
So was this Supreme.
Everyone had their own hopes, and the phenomena they hoped to obtain were not the same. Precisely because of this, no one wanted to give way, nor was there any need to give way to others.
If you don't take it, someone else will take it, and even destroy you along with it. Taking a step back is not a vast sky, but courting death.
There were only so many things within the old light and shadow.
And there were several people who wanted to rely on these things to surpass the limits of light and shadow, and to accomplish their respective hopes.
Even if there were two people, they could never be divided equally.
It was like a road that was incomplete, then it would be flawed. Things that are flawed would eventually stop at some point, and then decay, perish, dissipate, and never exist again.
"What is being fought for is not the past, but the new future that has not yet begun or been witnessed."
The Supreme made a move, he was certain that Ji Xiang had not yet mastered the remaining half of the path. The principles of the Supreme's body were still in his hands. As long as the name of invincibility still existed, he would not fail, nor could any phenomena cause him to perish.
But Ji Xiang said: "I am no longer in this Great Imagery, you cannot touch me, nor can I harm you."
"That won't happen, because I am not in this Imagery either! The Three Purities merge, you and I are both at the gate of the Supreme Path, of course we don't have to follow the rules of Primordial! Where the Supreme is, there are no taboos!"
"We are the source of the Dao! This and that side, everything exists and operates because of the Supreme!"
The Supreme's gaze was scorching, with a wave of his hand, all the laws had come to the end, all the phenomena had stopped, from the beginning it was the end, the event had just happened and was almost over. He held Ji Xiang in his hand, his body had unknowingly occupied the entire old light and shadow, omnipresent, everywhere was his silhouette.
"Is that so?"
Ji Xiang suddenly understood, and smiled: "So that's how it is, no taboos."
"Of course! But the matter has ended, you, under the Great Imagery, the myriad phenomena you brought from other Great Imagery, are attached to your side, and these myriad phenomena allow you to reflect on this matter, but now, they are about to stop by your side, and you will become a phantom image like Mr. Gu."
"I will give you your last words."
The Supreme's voice had a slight fluctuation, that was reminiscing. As a new thought, born with the myriad phenomena, possessing the Supreme's law, unparalleled, a powerful existence not bound by the world's light and shadow or even the Great Imagery, so this battle had just begun, but it had already ended, and there was only one victor.
The last words?
"The last words, then let's talk about my holy title."
Ji Xiang raised a hand.
The gradually stopping myriad phenomena, those various illusory and dazzling lights, began to turn again.
The Supreme opened his mouth, he was about to speak, and the first word of that sentence would immediately end, and Ji Xiang would also become a phantom image and be frozen in place.
But now, those myriad phenomena that were brought, began to turn again, Ji Xiang was not frozen, nor did he become a phantom image.
That voice fell, and like the empty spiritual sound of the Nine Nether Eradication Heavenly Lord, it broke through light and shadow.
"I am."
"The Unbeginning Unending Heavenly Lord."
Under that palm, the Supreme saw an incredible scene.
Those myriad phenomena, surging violently, had no beginning.
Going away in a hurry, there was no end!
