Sheng Fu

Chapter 1264 Unexpected Indulgence

In the demon world, there is great blasphemy.

Due to the recent rumors and turbulent situation, most of the Eternal Night spies who remained here have withdrawn, and even the two Snow Rocs have left to guard the border between gods and demons.

While there were indeed anomalies here, even the greatest anomalies seemed insignificant compared to the God Emperor who had entered the half-step into the myriad realms, forcing the Lord of Eternal Night to make the lesser of two evils.

Deep within the Great River, the waters stretch endlessly, shrouded in mist. It possesses both rich spiritual energy and a violent, malevolent aura. Those with weak cultivation who rashly venture into the depths of the Qingming Great River to cultivate will inevitably suffer a backlash from the laws of the Great Dao here. At best, they will suffer a qi deviation; at worst, their souls will perish.

Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao walked on the waves amidst the thick mist.

When Jing Peiyao learned that Yuwen Jun had hidden the Ancient Dragon Seal in the Eternal Palace, she was filled with admiration. The more dangerous the situation, the more risky one should be. This was against common sense, but it was also the most effective method.

As he walked, Yuwen Jun stopped.

"We've arrived?" Jing Peiyao frowned slightly, gazing into the depths of the water.

Yuwen Jun nodded slightly and said, "I will protect you. You will travel with your sword. Unless necessary, you must not commit any acts of killing. This time, we will rely mainly on you, not me."

According to Yuwen Jun's calculations, Jing Peiyao has already entered the Limitless Realm, and with the added blessing of the Purple Star Holy Sword, her killing power surpasses that of the Demon Realm Queen.

Ordinary opponents are no match for Jing Peiyao in a single move.

“Okay.” Jing Peiyao said with a determined look in her eyes.

Ripples spread out, the speed of spacetime around them fluctuated, and the power of nothingness advanced layer by layer. Unwittingly, the two of them traversed the surging undercurrents and arrived at the deepest part of the Qingming Great River.

The underwater world is not as dark as one might imagine; a holy white light covers the area for thousands of miles, and a grand, ancient, and desolate atmosphere pervades all directions.

Three unusual spatial fluctuations resonated in Yuwen Jun's mind, and he could already sense their specific locations.

However, the holy auspicious light not far away slowly dispersed, revealing a serpent head the size of a mountain. The giant serpent slowly pressed down on Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao.

Gradually revealing its magnificent true form, its scales were as white as jade, radiating holy light. Even before its enormous wings were fully unfurled, they already exuded an astonishingly pure killing power.

This is the legendary Teng Snake.

The Tengshe, which should have been high in the sky, now lives in the underwater world.

Yuwen Jun was deeply surprised. The Tengshe lineage had been lost to ancient history, but he never expected it to reappear in this era.

But then I thought, it's not surprising to encounter any kind of legendary creature these days.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun subconsciously released a wisp of dragon energy and stepped forward, saying, "The current situation is turbulent, and two half-step Wanduan experts have already emerged. I have come here to seek a change in the situation, and I hope that you will forgive me, senior."

Behind her, Jing Peiyao's arms hung naturally at her sides, her slender hands not touching the hilt of the Ziwei Holy Sword.

If it can be explained to us, that would be best; if it cannot be explained, then it is not too late to draw our swords.

Tengshe slightly raised its head, its eyes gleaming with holy light, and uttered a deep, ancient voice: "Why have you come to this place?"

Yuwen Jun got straight to the point: "Gather the void imprints and cultivate the Great Void Technique."

"Senior should be able to see that I do not want to commit the sin of killing."

As she spoke, Jing Peiyao placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

A purple aura spread out, and the holy light in Tengshe's eyes flickered for a moment.

Time is of the essence, so there's no need for formalities.

Suddenly, a tall, middle-aged woman appeared above Tengshe's head. She wore an ancient blue cloth dress. Although her attire was simple, upon closer inspection, she exuded an otherworldly aura, serene and gentle, as if she were an ancient immortal descending to earth, a beauty beyond words.

Yuwen Jun was slightly taken aback, then bowed slightly and said, "I am Yuwen Jun, greetings to senior."

Jing Peiyao's hand unconsciously loosened its grip on the sword hilt. The middle-aged woman's gaze was gentle, like a spring breeze brushing against green grass, and she said, "Both the Demon Lord and the God Emperor have gazed upon this place, and now you have personally come to visit."

"It seems that endless disputes are now unavoidable."

"I have heard about your new policies. As expected of the promising young man Yan Lie has his eye on, you are indeed quite talented."

Yuwen Jun's heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated before asking, "Are you and Senior Yan Lie old acquaintances?"

"I would like to know your position and your attitude towards the myriad disputes."

"And your name."

Yuwen Jun once roughly estimated that most of the ancient beings currently inhabiting different secret realms were impoverished, but a few still possessed formidable strength. If given the right opportunity, they could still accomplish earth-shattering feats. The female senior in front of him was clearly among them.

The middle-aged woman smiled leisurely and said, "My name is Guichen."

Returning to dust?!
The name sounded familiar, and Yuwen Jun instantly recalled the contents of "Qingming Zhi". In ancient times, there was a woman who cultivated Taiyin Zhenyuan and was invincible. She stood at the forefront of history at a certain time.

Yuwen Jun's lips twitched slightly as he said, "I never thought that I would be able to see a legendary figure in my lifetime. I once read about your past in the ancient times in the 'Qingming Chronicle'."

Gui Chen remained calm and composed throughout, saying, "The records from later generations are all inaccurate."

"I really like your new policies. All living beings in the world are in their proper place, which is truly a great blessing."

"Since you've come here seeking a change of fortune, you must be confident in your ability to break through to the Myriad Realms?"

Yuwen Jun did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "Senior has keen insight. To be honest, I am confident, but not very confident. I wonder what guidance you have for me?"

Gui Chen changed the subject, saying, "Where there is birth, there will be extinction; this is cause and effect. I am here to gather the power of the moon and the sun to evolve the power of creation, intending to create a new world so that the consciousness of all living beings can be passed down without end."

"Now that you've arrived, I'm seeing a completely new and exciting scene."

“Even the young man from the Time Clan follows you, so I am naturally willing to lend you a hand.”

Yuwen Jun suddenly felt a sense of loss, realizing that Senior Guichen knew everything.

But he was still puzzled, and asked with a slight tremor in his throat, "Why did you do this, senior?"

"Is it simply because of the new policy?"

Gui Chen smiled knowingly and said, "The new policy can make the laws of destiny in the world orderly and grow towards the sun, which is naturally excellent."

"Most importantly, you are a pure person."

"The Demon Lord looks down upon the world, the God Emperor's aura is overwhelming, but you still have the pure heart of a child and the original beauty."

"In my memory, in the early days, spring brought forth all things, and everything flourished. The land was peaceful and serene. Later, war raged, and the chaos continued. Desire was like an endless abyss."

"War is inevitable in any era, and every war has a respectable reason or is caused by pure malice."

"I am already tired of the moral and ethical debates."

"And we've grown increasingly weary of the war between right and wrong."

"But you are a pleasant surprise. You have won many victories, but you have never bullied the weak."

"All living beings are the world, and the world is all living beings."

"Do what you believe is right. Greatness lies not in strength or weakness, but in faith and personal charisma."

The three void marks merged into Yuwen Jun's brow at some unknown time, and in an instant, the Daoist laws resonated, creating an endless cycle of life.
