Chapter 215 Invisible Destiny What Ruan Xing didn’t know was that the bright light as bright as day did not only appear in the area of Nanzhou. Zhongzhou, Xuanbing Sect. Taoist Qingmeng, who was observing the stars at night, was suddenly dazzled by a white light. He hissed, turned his head slightly, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand. This brilliant light did not cause any harm to anyone or anything. It only lasted for a hundred breaths and then disappeared. The monks who were fortunate enough to see it were talking about it. "What is this? What an amazing sight!" "This seems to be a strange phenomenon of heaven, right? Could it be that a senior has ascended to Guixu?" "How do you know, have you seen it before?" "How could I have such knowledge? The last recorded heavenly phenomenon was more than 800 years ago. I was not even born at that time!" "I've also read the records you mentioned, but they didn't cover such a large area. I saw that the light just now came from the direction of Nanzhou, and it actually covered the entire Zhongzhou!"
"Could it be that a supreme treasure of the immortal path has suddenly appeared?!" "Come on, go to bed. With our cultivation level, we will never be able to encounter such a treasure." On the Tianyan Peak, Taoist Qingmeng narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a Bagua plate with shining purple circles appeared in his hands behind his back. He stretched out his hand, stared at the Bagua plate with indifferent eyes, and a few strands of golden light leaked out of his eyes. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood which fell on the Bagua plate. The Bagua plate suddenly became dim and his face turned pale. “How could this be…” He said to himself in disbelief, his face pale, “Everything is messed up… How could this be, I can’t see anything…” He seemed to be hit so hard that he began to doubt himself. A hand supported him from behind. Daoist Master Qingmeng looked back and saw a gentle woman asking him with concern, "Master Lin Feng, are you okay?" Taoist Qingmeng looked back in a daze. It’s Master Li of Xiaochi Peak. The sect leader was standing next to her, and both of them came to Tianyan Peak immediately after seeing the strange vision. "I'm fine." Taoist Qingmeng shook his head and tried to wipe the blood off the Bagua plate absentmindedly, but he couldn't wipe it clean. His face became more and more uglier. “Stop wiping it.” The sect leader stopped him, “Since you can’t see it, don’t force yourself to see it. It’s more important to heal your wounds first. Maybe the person you are looking at is at a much higher level than you, causing a backlash.” Although Taoist Qingmeng could predict the fate of a person or an event, what he saw was not complete. He only had vague pictures and comments, so they still needed to guess the answer in the end. It is useful, but not so much that Taoist Qingmeng will not lose his own life for deciding other people's lives. Therefore, the sect leader comforted Taoist Qingmeng in a gentle voice, telling him not to take it too seriously. "This is different!" Daoist Master Qing Meng suddenly became excited. "My art of observing fate and using the spirit writing technique is not affected by realm at all, and it will not arouse the other party's awareness. All I see is the possible fate of that person in the future! The reason I can't see it is not because that person has been promoted to the Guixu stage, but because he concealed the secrets of heaven and changed his own destiny!" Master Li Feng frowned and said in confusion: "Calm down, that person might be practicing the same technique as you, so he can cover it up. If he is good at fortune-telling, we will feel more at ease." This kind of magic that peeks into the secrets of heaven is basically dancing on the sensitive spot of heaven's way. Except for those cultivators who are obsessed with it, no one would risk their own life and death to practice this kind of magic that can neither improve their realm nor their combat effectiveness. If there is backlash, it will be no joke.
They just thought that Taoist Qingmeng had a smooth life in the first half of his life and had never made any mistakes in fortune-telling, so some of them could not accept his current failure. "It's different..." Taoist Qingmeng shook his head dejectedly. He couldn't even describe what he saw. In the past, if we said that we couldn't see it, at most we could say that it was unclear, too blurry, and there was no directional comment on the picture. But this time, when he tried to use the Bagua plate to read his fortune, he felt as if he was trapped in a pool of sticky stagnant water. Unable to move forward, unable to move backward, unable to float up, unable to dive down. Although he had already reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage and no longer needed to breathe normally, he still felt the pain of suffocation. In that pool of stagnant water, all he saw before his eyes was a vast expanse of white emptiness. When he finally managed to free himself from the sticky water, he looked back but saw only a towering tree. The tree is so tall that you can't see the end of it. It made him feel awe. He couldn't even take another look before he suffered a severe backlash and vomited dirty blood that stained the Bagua Plate. He turned away from the summit in despair. As soon as the belated Qinghong Zhenjun landed, he hurriedly saluted to the sect master and chased after him. "Master Jiang, please take care of Master Lin." "Yeah." True Lord Qinghong nodded slightly. Master Li Feng turned to look at the Sect Master again, "It seems that Master Lin Feng can't tell us any useful information. Sect Master, what should we do next?" "Let's gather Master Cheng Feng and the others first." The sect master thought for a moment and said, "The scope of this phenomenon is so wide that it has never been heard of in recorded history. Didn't Dongzhou Wanbaolou send us an invitation a few days ago to attend the last Wanbaolou auction? I think more than 80% of the sects will send representatives. We can take this opportunity to communicate with other sects. By then, the sect that produced the unparalleled Guixu Immortal Lord will definitely not be willing to remain unknown." "Isn't the auction of Wanbaolou going to start in more than half a year?" Master Li Feng asked in surprise. "It's only half a year. We can wait." The clan leader smiled and said, "What good can it do to give them some time?" Master Li Feng lowered his eyes silently. At the same time, similar situations were happening in different places. …… When Ruan Xing woke up, she felt refreshed and no discomfort at all. She casually asked the little seed who had been watching her, "How long have I slept?" "Three whole days." The little seed felt a little resentful. "Ah, three days." Ruan Xing was stunned for a moment. No wonder she felt all the mental fatigue was swept away. As expected, people still need to sleep. Cultivation has evolved away from sleeping, and life has lost a kind of fun. Hearing that Xiaozhongzi was a little depressed, Ruan Xing asked, "What happened in the past three days? What's wrong with you?" "After you fell asleep, I took you back to the underground water to soak." Little Seed said, "But the strange phenomenon outside can't be fooled. They all know you are back. If your deputy leader hadn't come out and said you were in seclusion, they would have broken into my house."
Who is it? So reckless? Ruan Xing comforted the little seed, who kept complaining, "Your little white follower, Jianlai, was originally listening to the deputy sect leader and staying outside quietly. Later, when he found out that your spiritual weapon was always with you, he couldn't stay there anymore. He came in several times a day, and my barrier couldn't stop him. He came in like a houseguest." "When he came, it was a big deal. He set a good precedent. Anyone could come in. Your fairy demon king, as well as ghost cultivators, all came in to take a look. I really couldn't do anything. My barrier can only stop the living. I can't hold the dead." This... Jianlai must be jealous of Cai Jiao. Ruan Xing snapped his fingers with amusement, and the white jade sword flew out, circling around Ruan Xing, seeming very happy and proud. "What did you say to Jian?" Ruan Xing asked. "I didn't say anything, sister. I'm here with you. I'm your spiritual weapon, so of course I'll protect you closely. Being with you is the most important thing." Cai Jiao said innocently, "Unlike brother Jianlai, who was called away by brother Hu San all of a sudden. Sister was left to face such a dangerous thing as transcending the tribulation alone." "Where did you learn such glib words? Didn't I tell you that the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Heavenly Dao Vision are things that cannot be forcibly countered by force, so I don't need you and Jianlai to stay by my side. You didn't listen and you blamed Jianlai." Ruan Xing poked the sword with his fingertips helplessly, "Jianlai is honest and simple, don't bully Jianlai in the future, understand?" Cai Jiao agreed with a somewhat coquettish tone, and the sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Ruan Xing coughed lightly and continued to ask, "What did the Fairy and the Demon Lord come in for?" Jianlai and Cui Yurong might also be concerned. But Xie Feng and Shen Lingyun... she didn't think they had a particularly deep friendship. Although she admired the fairy's character, in fact, in the deal they made in the Jintai Secret Realm, it was Xie Feng who did the work, and it was also Xie Feng who insisted that she take them both out. The fairy only agreed reluctantly after being persuaded by them. Later, it was because Xie Feng wanted to stay in the Xumi Realm that the fairy stayed. There were many times during this period when the fairy had the chance to die together with Xie Feng, but every time she tried to teach Xie Feng a lesson, she did not use her killing move. It didn't seem like Xie Feng really wanted to fight with Shen Lingyun, but rather tease her. Afterwards, after Shen Lingyun had stayed in the Xumi Realm for a while, she saw the sufferings of mortals, accepted a disciple and had other ties, so she made a little change and agreed to help Ruan Xing re-plan the Xumi Realm. Ruan Xing didn't want to know how complicated their relationship was, but the only thing she was sure of was that Xie Feng could not be trusted. "I don't know. That demon king seemed to want to steal your things, but was stopped by the fairy. They didn't say anything. They just stared at each other for an incense stick of time, and then they left." Steal something? Ruan Xing lowered his eyes and thought. What on her is worth Xie Feng stealing? Could it be that he hasn't given up on getting the method of controlling puppets from the Netherworld Ghost Record from her? He has always been afraid that he has control over the lifeblood of his puppet. Wait...I'm not the only one who has the Netherworld Ghost Record. She suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "When did Cui Yurong come?" "Not long after the Demon Lord and the other two left." Little Seed replied. Ruan Xing couldn't help but frown. Time goes back to one day ago. "Why are you following me again?" Xie Feng gave Shen Lingyun a frivolous smile, "Could it be that you can't bear to leave me?" Shen Lingyun seemed to have gotten used to Xie Feng's careless mouth. She just frowned slightly and said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense. It's rude." "Ha, whatever you want. I'm going to visit our sect leader who is in seclusion. Do you want to come with me?"
"The sect leader said that you are not allowed to enter or leave the Xumi Realm at will. It's fine if you violate the rules on a daily basis, but don't cause trouble when the sect leader is in seclusion." Shen Lingyun said coldly. Xie Feng's eyes widened slightly, and he laughed in disbelief, "You are like this now, calling me Sect Master all the time, and it sounds so nice. Could it be that you have forgotten that you are from the Xuan Ji Sect? Have you forgotten your master's upbringing and teaching you? Have you forgotten that when you just died, you were in the cave day and night in pain and guilt, and you didn't repay your master's kindness?" She didn't expect Xie Feng to reveal her scars so easily. Shen Lingyun pursed her lips and said with difficulty: "I haven't forgotten, but I am already a puppet, a creation of evil cultivators. It is impossible for me to return to Xuanji Sect in this life. Sect Master Ruan helped me and trusted me, so I naturally cannot let him down. Besides..." She paused, a trace of bitterness emerged on her cold face, "You forgot the source of my pain and guilt. If I had died immediately, I would not have felt guilty towards my master. It was you who forced me to keep my soul and not let me dissipate, and gave me strength, so that I could bear the sins of devouring so many fellow monks with you!" "Then why didn't you kill me immediately after you got out? Is it because you have developed feelings for me over time and can't bring yourself to do it?" Xie Feng said with a smile. "I want to die but cannot, I want to live but cannot, you smile as you watch me struggle and sink, I suffer from such heavy sins, yet secretly rejoice that I am still alive... I long for death all the time, but I tell myself that you are still alive, I have not killed you yet, how can I die? Day after day, year after year, I endure this contradiction, and when I truly entered this puppet body, I realized that you were tempting me to become a demon, and I..." Shen Lingyun closed his eyes in pain, but could not shed a single tear, "I have been possessed by the devil for a long time." How ridiculous, this is something she has been refusing to face. She had been taught by her master to fight against demons and uphold justice since she was a child, but she herself became possessed by the demon. Xie Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yes, I am trying to lure you into submission, and you finally admit it." "But so what?" Shen Lingyun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "So what if I'm possessed by a demon? I'm admitting this in front of you today not to go along with you. I will only do what I think is right." All I can say is that it was Ruan Xing’s behavior that gave her the courage to re-understand the world. Even if she is a demon, she can still hate evil. Ruan Xing killed so many monks and used evil methods to create puppets for her own use. What she did would have made her an unforgivable evil in her eyes thousands of years ago. But now, she saw that there was a reason why Ruan Xing killed everyone. She saw the thriving scene in the Xumi Realm. She would not think that Ruan Xing was a devil, nor would she despise herself. She was possessed by a demon, but she was not a devil. Xie Feng immediately lost interest, "Tsk, boring." He turned around and walked away, but not in the direction of departure. Shen Lingyun chased after him, "I won't let you hurt her while the Sect Master is in seclusion." "Why would I hurt her?" Xie Feng said speechlessly, "I am her puppet. If she has a thought, I will be scared to death. How can I have the courage to hurt her?"
