Chapter 1 Qing Luo Found

"Qing Luo... has been found."

There were many books in the South Sea. The two Celestial Immortals of the Fajiao (Esoteric Sect) immediately defected after Lei Wang "died," expressing their willingness to submit to the imperial court. But Ji Xiang also knew that for people like them, whoever had the bigger fist was their ruler.

If someday the Biyou Palace, the Tantric Sect, or the Song court controlled this place, they would still offer no resistance and directly defect.

So Ji Xiang quietly planted demon seeds in their hearts.

Once there were any abnormal thoughts, the demon seeds would take root and sprout. The heart demons of immortals were even more intense, especially for these two low-level immortals who had not yet experienced the demon trials, and judging from their current performance, they would definitely not pass the Yuanshi demon trial.

Afterwards, Ji Xiang searched for books in various sects of the Fajiao, looking for the name Qing Luo. Finally, he found a book within a Fajiao called Yuanshi Fajiao (Yuanshi Dharma Sect).

The leader of this Fajiao told Ji Xiang that his Yuanshi Fajiao was based on a book stored in a dilapidated Taoist temple where he had cultivated with a Taoist priest in his early years. That Taoist priest's aptitude was not good, his cultivation was not high, and in those years, Japanese pirates were rampant. He died fighting bravely in a Japanese pirate invasion.

He inherited the legacy of that dilapidated Taoist temple and established the Fajiao in the south, calling it Yuanshi Fajiao, helping people to eliminate disasters and solve problems. Many of the wonderful methods came from their sect-guarding classic, and this classic was not written in this era.

According to him, his teacher once told him that this book was passed down from the Tang or Song dynasties, and the real time of its writing may have been within these two dynasties, that is, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

It was not easy to survive from such a chaotic period.

The Taoist Canon of this era is still being revised. Since the books compiled during the Yongle period, until now, from the Zhengtong to the Jiajing, and from the Jiajing to the Wanli periods, new Taoist books have been gradually found and incorporated into it.

This book has not been included in the Taoist Canon.

*Yuanshi Tianzun Shuo Shiyi Yao Da Xiaozai Shenzhou Jing* (The Scripture of the Great Elimination of Disasters and Divine Incantations Spoken by the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord Regarding the Eleven Luminaries).

Ji Xiang opened the scripture. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Taoism had a worship of the eleven Yao star gods.

"At that time, the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord was in the Great Luo Heaven, in the Jade Capital Mountain, under the Qianlin Tree, sounding the great dharma drum, striking the great dharma bell, universally gathering the heavens and earth of the ten directions and the three realms, the sun, moon, stars, and all the holy beings, to speak of the good and evil retribution and the causes and conditions of blessings and disasters of all sentient beings in the past and future. At that time, there was a Real Person in the seat, named..."

"Qing Luo!"

Ji Xiang chanted, and a palpitation arose in his heart. In the dark, it seemed that countless threads of fate, like tentacles, stretched out from the void. As long as the name was recited, the law would follow the sound. Ji Xiang closed his mouth, and the Demonic Qi surged in his heart, and those threads gradually retreated.

"Fate..."

This was the manifestation of fate in the sea of consciousness, and the first fate that entangled him had been imprisoned in the Bitter Sea world. Ji Xiang did not dare to release this strange thing easily.

Looking at the scripture again. The scripture said that Qing Luo asked about the various karmic deeds of sentient beings, including the disasters of swords, soldiers, water, fire, and famine. The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord performed rituals for him, and Qing Luo transmitted this scripture to the world, causing the immortals to laugh with joy.

There was no doubt that Qing Luo was a Yuqing cultivator. Moreover, although this scripture appeared during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it originated in the Tang Dynasty and was initiated in the Song Dynasty. Qing Luo might be a cultivator from the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Huang calling Qing Luo's name could scare away Yuqing demonic objects, but if other Yuqing cultivators, such as himself, called this name, it would attract a fate. If this person was at the Heavenly Heart Realm, then he must have already known of his existence. If he was not at the Heavenly Heart Realm, was he still alive?

"Future Sight, a glance."

Ji Xiang used Future Sight, using the supernatural power of Reversing Qiankun (Reversing Heaven and Earth), trying to see events about Qing Luo. As time flowed, a person full of Demonic Qi suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Who?"

This Demonic Qi was monstrous, like his own. Ji Xiang looked carefully, but saw that the demonic shadow turned around, and it was indeed his own face. But the next moment, that face disappeared, and turned into a completely unfamiliar person.

[Reflecting the future.]

A voice suddenly came from the darkness. The demonic shadow with the changed face suddenly looked at him. The next moment, he seemed to be about to appear from the illusion of Future Sight, but Ji Xiang narrowed his eyes and the False Gospel began to be chanted.

*Pa!* The demonic shadow disappeared, and Future Sight went to a more distant future. Everything just now was turned into falsehood. The so-called reflection did not exist at all, and became a situation that only existed in the future and would never happen.

[Fate, wonderful and unspeakable. There is actually an existence like you.]

The voice in the darkness sounded. Ji Xiang did not respond, because the Inner Vision Divine Tablet suddenly showed words!

This meant that there was hostility in the other party's voice!

Was it Qing Luo?

No, it was not Qing Luo!

Ji Xiang was quite surprised when he saw the words in the divine tablet. He thought it was Qing Luo's power, but he didn't expect that this person in the future, who seemed to have seized his identity as a Demon King, was not Qing Luo!

[Gu Xiansheng (Trapped in the Future): A Yuqing cultivator, a person of the past, who cultivated the Heavenly Lord's Dharma of later generations!]

[Gu Xiansheng is the incarnation of Yuanshi. He teaches in the borderlands, speaking of the three vehicles of nirvana and the cultivation of later life fruits by sentient beings.]

[After this person went to the future, he performed various divine demon, slaughtering sacrifices, gathering to practice the Tao, calling for annihilation; or contemplating the light and form. Although there are scriptures, there is no real Dharma, and the world is mixed with evil and righteousness, and sentient beings cannot attain the Tao.]

[Supreme supernatural power: True One.]

[All Yuqing are the True One, and your Dao foundation is also in the ancients.]

[Solution: Cannot be solved, only can find a way to delay it.]

Ji Xiang: "..."

This was the second time he had seen a supernatural power that could not be solved. The last time the Su Fu demon could not be solved was because it was something born from a rule under the Heavenly Dao.

And now... in the more distant future, he saw something unbelievable.

[All kinds of futures are my body. Whether it is you, Qing Luo, or other people, you are all me. The Qing Luo fate is arranged for you by me. You accept the fate, become immortals and demons. In the next life, there is no difference between gods and demons, all are my body.]

[You have to be careful, I am always waiting for you in the future... You peek into the secrets of the future. Have you never thought that you will also be peeked at in reverse by people from the future?]

[The curiosity from the past will eventually guide the return of the True One in the future... I am that final True One, without good and without evil.]

The voice in the darkness kept sounding, coming from all directions, saying the same sentence, bringing up countless echoes, but no one except Ji Xiang could hear it.

Trapped in the future? That was amazing.

Ji Xiang listened to the threatening voice from the future while looking at the words on the blank divine tablet. He did not expect that there would be such a person among the Yuqing cultivators. He was not Qing Luo, but the fate belonging to Qing Luo was descended by him.

So where did Qing Luo go, and what was the relationship between Qing Luo and the Yuqing demonic object?

Or could it be....

The Yuqing demonic object was Qing Luo?

"I think... I have to meet Yuan Huang once."
