Chapter 2385: Supreme

Three bells ring together, the present world all hears.

Far gazing at Heaven Punishment Cliff's certain peak, those from the land of “Jiao Tiger Dog,” stand at this peak top.

Their journey of traveling various countries doesn't use space as its axis, doesn't follow proximity, but focuses on the countries' systems they explore. They probe the people's way of life under different regimes.

Whatever they are thinking, they just go and observe that.

Extinguish and revive, located near the disastrous waters of Liang Country, is just very meaningful to research, and extremely “young.”

After staying in Li Country for more than half a year, with several storage boxes piled full of notes, they traveled ten thousand miles not far to Liang Country, almost living here.

When the news of the Three Punishment Palace spread out, the several of them were actually the closest, but limited by cultivation, they arrived the slowest instead.

"I'll just stay here." Du Ye Hu, the first to descend from the cloud head, said in a muffled voice, "Going over there won't help anything. But I want to know how the third child is as soon as possible."

The wind and rain of the road had ground him even rougher, he squatted there like a heavy block of stone, silently enduring, toughly gazing afar.

Song Qing Yue stood at the high cliff covered in deep cloud mist, not saying a word — since the Dragon Lord passed away, he had become very silent. The past forty-nine days of sun and moon's decline were indeed a period of mourning for every water race.

The more mature Li Jian Qiu, carrying a peach branch, gazed afar. In just over a year, his temples were already slightly frosted, youth seeing white, one could slightly glimpse the mental effort he had consumed since the failure of Qi Ming's new policy.

Regarding Fu Bao Song's death, regarding the incompetence of the "ruin family dog," he could never let go.

The wisdom of ordinary people to think of changing the world's way is destined to be difficult, and also destined to be painful. But smart people live very comfortably, not feeling the world needs change.

And those even smarter people, seeing the result at a glance, do not do useless things.

This world's progress is pushed by foolish people.

"It will be good," he said.

Heaven Punishment Cliff overlooks the mountains, isolated between heaven and earth.

The mountain has the mountain's scenery.

At the mountain foot, a wine stall was set up overnight.

"Bai Shishu," Chu Yao, who had grown like a crazy vine, was heavy-hearted at this moment, while skillfully placing bowls and wiping tables with his hands and feet, he softly asked, "Do we really want to sell wine here?"

In front of him was a large bronze mirror, and inside the bronze mirror was reflected the tavern at Star Moon Plain.

Bai Yu Xia, an old god, sat there in the tavern, like a big master.

Beside him, another was too lazy to sit, lying there.

Chu Yao just talked to the two Shishu through this bronze mirror, listened to their commands, accepted their supervision, and diligently set up a stall here to sell wine.

Lian Yu Chan came to help instead, she had been erecting the wine banner for a long time, her eyes always staring at the mountain.

In the end, all the things were done by little Chu.

Bai Zhang Gui in the mirror looked at Chu Yao for a glance: "I know you're worried about your Shifu, but on this matter, our worry is useless. Seizing the opportunity to sell wine is proper business. Money connects the eight directions, it's no different from incense and wish power, it's the most direct support, it can help him achieve dao. If he succeeds, seeing you earn so much, he will definitely praise your ability. If he fails... your purse will be bulging, the funeral can also be grand. That is your Shifu after all, treat the dead as you treat the living, you cannot treat him poorly."

"I'm not worried about my Shifu ah. He is world invincible, what mere magic skill? Even the Magic Ancestor comes out, he'll be beaten to death!" Chu Yao said, his voice small, "There are so many people here ah, all looking very fierce, I'm afraid of getting beaten..."

Bai Yu Xia understood as soon as he heard: "Rest assured, this time I told you to bring good wine. Bai Jade Capital special brew, three years cellar storage. Absolutely no water mixed in, selling as much as you want is no problem."

Chu Yao said in surprise: "This Bai Jade Capital special brew, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Because I just gave it the name."

"......Bai Shishu, why aren't you coming here?" Chu Yao asked.

He didn't ask further, laziness was the reason for everything.

"Ai! This time I really can't go again. I can't leave the tavern, there are too many accounts—" Bai Yu Xia quickly skipped this topic, "Hey, who is behind you? Move aside and let me see, is that wood chopper here? Don't pay attention to him. Pretend you don't see him."

Chu Yao was always obedient, but he couldn't listen to these words.

He quickly moved a chair over: "Lin Shishu! Please sit quickly!"

Lin Xian, now the Town Country General of Rong Country, had matured a lot. He came over mountains and ridges, without restraint. Putting away his complex mood, he patted Chu Yao's shoulder: "You've grown much taller again! I came to Heaven Punishment Cliff to witness your Shifu achieve dao."

These years busy with country affairs, the last time he saw Jiang Wang was at Zhao Ru Cheng's grassland wedding...

When Jiang Wang challenged Lou Yue with his sword, he heard the news after the battle was over. This time at Heaven Punishment Cliff refining magic and proving dao, he, who called himself a "running dog under the door," couldn't not come.

Although trapped in a snail horn these years, his heart had not forgotten Bai Jade Capital.

Perhaps he could do nothing, but he was willing to do everything he could. He believed even more that today he only needed to gaze afar, as in many moments in the past.

Chu Yao didn't need comfort. He was truly not worried, in his heart, his Shifu was world invincible. He just poured Lin Shishu a jar of wine, served a plate of peanuts, and diligently went to move another chair—

Why did he say Bai Shishu was clever? When he shouted "Bai Jade Capital wood chopper," more than one person came.

"Zhu Shibo! Huang Berniang! Sit here!" Chu Yao enthusiastically greeted, "I brought our self-brewed good wine—"

In the huge bronze mirror, Bai Yu Xia simply stirred open the account book and covered his face. With no eyes to see, the little fool only greeted these people, who might not even receive a single coin.

This tense and solemn Heaven Punishment Cliff, everyone was tense. Only Chu Yao was overflowing with enthusiasm, busy coming and going, instead like arranging some happy event.

It made Zhu Wei Wo's worried emotions also dilute a lot.

He and Huang Jin Mo held hands and sat down at the wine stall, quietly waiting for the result from the mountain.

In the law hall, Jiang Wang sat quietly, having no knowledge of the things happening outside Heaven Punishment Cliff. He had already invested his whole heart in the refining of the magic intent, even letting his immortal dragon dharma image and magic ape dharma image loose.

In the sea of consciousness, the immortal thoughts star river flickered violently. Countless star thoughts, illusion born and illusion extinguished within it.

In the Taixu illusion realm, he opened the highest thirty-three layers of the dao platform, pushing to the limit, crazily consuming merit!

And in the law hall, the joy magic's magic intent burned in his sword finger furnace. The full version of the desire magic burned in his Samadhi true furnace.

He was refining magic, and also refining law.

With his accumulation up to now, the first true cultivation since the creation of heaven and earth, he forcefully cultivated magic skills, forcefully refined magic intent, wanting to refine them into a supreme technique!

Techniques, the creation of dao techniques, were initially imitations and elaborations of heaven-born divine abilities.

Their ultimate goal was to explain heaven with techniques, to surpass heaven-born divine abilities and exist.

And throughout the river of history, techniques that could achieve this point were also extremely rare.

The most famous ones now were the "All Heavens Ten Thousand Realms Five Directions Five Elements Decree Law True Body" created and passed down by Human Emperor Sui Ren Shi and You Xiong Shi.

It was said to be a heaven-rank technique, only because heaven rank was already the highest, there was no upper peak. Ordinary heaven-rank techniques fundamentally could not touch the edge of this technique.

Now Jiang Wang just wanted to imitate the ancient sages, to create a supreme technique that rivaled the ancient sages.

He was indeed cultivating the "Bitter Sea Forever Sink Desire Magic Skill," but he was cultivating it without proving, refining it without swallowing.

Cultivating magic was not to become magic, but to chew into the provisions of magic. The word "refine" in cultivation was fundamental.

He wanted to tear apart "Bitter Sea Forever Sink Desire Magic Skill," split it open, turn it into the firewood for his proving dao, not the shackles on his forward path.

Now was the first step, he wanted to first refine out "Joy Fire."

He had once cultivated techniques like "Jealousy Fire" and "Anger Fire," mastering them proficiently, relying on them to win against enemies multiple times. This kind of technique all used emotion as the fire guide, with heart emotions as the firewood.

The principle of "Joy Fire" was similar in thought, but to truly refine it out, it was not just a thousand or ten thousand times more difficult.

Because at that time, "Jealousy Fire" and "Anger Fire" were just stirring shallow emotions. Jiang Wang wanted to cultivate "Joy Fire," but it was to touch the fundamentals of the seven emotions.

Moreover, Jiang Wang was now refining the joy magic's magic intent, which came from the fundamental magic thought of "Bitter Sea Forever Sink Desire Magic Skill"!

It was the ultimate emotion of humans, the extreme evil of magic.

But only such fundamental "emotion," ultimate magic thought, could satisfy his requirements and let him chase the supreme.

So just for this "Joy Fire," he had reserved enough nine days, refining it bit by bit, carving it bit by bit, striving for perfection.

The extremely solemn atmosphere of the law hall was also not helping to deter his magic thought and clear his miscellaneous thoughts.

He was also constantly questioning himself, reviewing himself, and reflecting on himself, to avoid becoming a fallen magic person unaware. As the saying goes, climb the ten-thousand-zhang absolute peak with sorrow, guard your heart and then ask for dao.

The process of cultivating magic was also the process of pulling out magic. The process of refining magic intent was also the process of refining the heart.

He was already accustomed to the bitter journey, and it was nothing more than silently persisting.

So he walked forward step by step, suddenly at some point, he heard the sound of a bell.

He had some pre-knowledge of the arrival of the Know Hear Bell, because it was exactly before he came to Heaven Punishment Cliff, he personally wrote a letter to Sumeru Mountain requesting it — in the letter he explained in detail the reason he needed to use the Know Hear Bell.

Holding the Know Hear Bell in the demon realm, carrying the not-old spring, and using divine presence against true demons was truly a peak life experience.

If Sumeru Mountain was inconvenient to lend its town mountain treasure, he could also understand, and it still would not affect his determination and confidence to prove dao in one autumn.

His confidence always came from himself, not relying on any external things.

It's just that if he had the help of the Know Hear Bell, he could understand magic skills more quickly, see through magic skills, greatly save time, and thereby lay a more solid foundation before crossing that last step.

So he just spoke to Sumeru Mountain for the first time, requesting to borrow this bell.

As for the I Hear Bell and Broad Hear Bell, he didn't even think about them. He didn't feel he had the face or the affection for that. The three bells gathering was something he couldn't even dream of.

Throughout the ten thousand ancients, even though the Buddha family themselves fought each other like dogs, no venerable had ever completed such a great feat. Today, the three bells gathered at Heaven Punishment Cliff, indeed beyond his expectation.

One sound long.

Two sounds echoed.

Three sounds were like waking from a dream.

This feeling was just like you had walked a very long road, suddenly looking back, and discovering that the end had already arrived.

The joy magic's magic intent in the sword finger furnace had already disappeared. Replacing it was a wisp of fire that looked just like joy leaping!

The Know Hear Bell helped him understand magic skills, the I Hear Bell helped him further recognize himself, not to be confused by magic intent, and the Broad Hear Bell spread his dao to all heavens and ten thousand realms!

Different from magic, different from any existence, a dao that belonged solely to Jiang Wang.

Originally reserving nine days to refine the joy fire, with the help of the three bells protecting dao for the World Honored, it succeeded on the second day.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

On the foundation of the successful refinement of the joy fire, and with the addition of the three bells, the remaining anger fire, worry fire, think fire, sad fire, fear fire, and shock fire were almost without obstacle, only leaving detailed grinding work.

One hour then succeeded in refining one.

Six hours later, on Jiang Wang's sword finger furnace, there were seven wisps of flames burning with different emotions, each surrounding, each illuminating.

He contracted these flames, all of them, into the sword qi — silk by silk, the sword qi quickly wove into substantial town patterns, and finally solidified like sword qi ice crystals, the seven wisps of emotional flames sealed within.

Four by four square, suppressed to the size of a silkworm bean.

Jiang Wang directly threw it into his mouth and swallowed it into his abdomen.

And bending his finger again, he hooked out the "See Desire" magic intent from the magic skill inside the Samadhi true furnace, once again placing it on the sword finger furnace, beginning a new round of refining magic.

He had once studied soul secret techniques such as "Six Desires Bodhisattva," and they had long been important fighting means. Refining this magic intent had more certainty than refining the joy magic's magic intent for the first time.

With the help of the three bells, this time it probably wouldn't take a day.

However, the sword qi ice crystal that sealed the seven wisps of emotional fire, entered the abdomen from the throat, and flew into the dao body.

Formless power spread open.

Joy, anger, worry, think, sad, fear, shock!

The seven emotions entered his thoughts, and all emotions became intense.

Jiang Wang's face sometimes showed a joyful expression, sometimes a furious expression, sometimes sorrowful thought, sometimes shock and fear. But his pair of eyes were eternally covered by a red-gold color, allowing him to always remain sober.

The sword qi ice crystal penetrated the various parts within the dao body, unobstructed, falling straight into the heart prison. And from within the heart prison, a gold and silver double-eyed, expressionless heaven person happened to push open the door and come out.

One side fiercely boiled and surged, one side was extremely indifferent.

The two brushed past each other within the dao body!

The sword qi ice crystal that sealed the seven wisps of emotional fire fell into the heart prison, and the heaven person dharma image imagined by heart force flew straight out, flying out of Jiang Wang's red-gold right eye, and flying into the law hall.

His thumb-sized body, in one leap, was equal in height to Jiang Wang.

Wu Bing Yi and Gong Sun Bu Hai both watched all this silently, their duty was just to supervise, absolutely not to guide or interfere. As long as Jiang Wang did not fall to magic, they would not do anything.

But even the iron-faced Wu Bing Yi's eyelids jumped several times.

This Jiang Zhen Ren was really... surprising. Constantly surprising people.

Every step was unexpected, but also so logical. And just like this, walking down step by step, the unattainable distance that he gazed at when he set out at the beginning... seemed not far away.

Jiang Wang's true self focusing on refining magic, wanting to keep the quiet intent of cultivation in the situation of the seven emotions boiling, was a particularly huge challenge.

But a person in the red dust, not receiving many disturbances from the world, not caring about so much noise, focusing on his self-cultivated world, wasn't it not so difficult?

Jiang Wang had always been doing this.

Today was nothing more than yesterday.

He focused on refining his "See Desire Fire," sitting there as if sitting as a Buddha.

The heaven person dharma image then indifferently glanced at this law hall, and after that, stood in front of Jiang Wang, facing Jiang Wang, and slowly closed its eyes.

The sun and moon heaven seal on the heaven person dharma image's brow center emitted faint frost light.

The world's clear and turbid divide into two instruments, the earth yin and heaven yang, the moon as frost.

The power of the nether moon covered its body.

The power of the Three Punishment Palace did not stop him.

He just sank to the bottom in this law hall, penetrating the entire Heaven Punishment Cliff, sinking down almost infinitely. Always to... the bottom of Forget River, the abyss of Yellow Spring!
