I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 643 The True Name of the Fallen Immortal
At the bottom of this lake lies a massive, abyssal black hole. The lake water is a deep blue, then slowly turns pitch black. It seems like a black hole that swallows everything, inspiring awe and fear.

Jiang Wen had been swimming at the bottom of the lake for several hours.

Although he was very fast, able to travel over a hundred feet in an instant, it still took him some effort to reach the bottom of the lake.

Standing above the abyss and looking down, it was pitch black and devoid of any life.

“It’s deep in this abyss at the bottom of this lake,” Jiang Wen said. “Can you sense what’s at the bottom of this abyss?”

“I can’t do it,” Jiang Su said regretfully. “I came into this world by transforming with the statue, but I am still somewhat inferior to you. If you can’t see what’s at the bottom of the lake, then naturally I can’t either.”

"However, I can help you see through illusions so that you won't get lost in them."

“I have a feeling that something at the bottom of the lake is calling me to go there,” Jiang Wen said, his brows furrowed slightly. “If I don’t go, I might have a huge regret.”

"Your current level is only one step away from becoming a sage, and you already possess some methods to foresee destiny. Since it is your intuition that tells you this, why not go and take a look?"

Hearing Jiang Su's words, Jiang Wen also felt the same way.

After he made further progress, the supernatural powers and profound methods of the Saint realm were already manifested.

The sage is one who can roam freely among the Five Sacred Mountains and traverse the vast universe. He can alter his inner self and transform his appearance. He also cultivates profound simplicity and commands spirits and deities. Furthermore, he understands the ten directions and perceives the impermanence of all things. He surveys the universe and comprehends cause and effect. He foresees the future and reflects on the past. He remains unchanged through a thousand autumns and lives forever.

This is a sage, this is a sacred platform.

Although Jiang Wen failed to actually push open the door, it had already quietly opened a crack. The scene within was enough to make him extraordinary.

That resonant intuition was also his response to his glimpse of the future's cause and effect.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Wen vanished and darted into the abyss. Although the surrounding environment grew increasingly dark, it was no big deal to him.

Even on a dark night, Jiang Wen could still see clearly.

The abyss at the bottom of this lake is an enormous pit, stretching for tens of miles from the top to the front. Not to mention its vast area.

Such a body of water would be called an ocean in his world, but this is merely a lake on the heart of a fallen immortal.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful and influential this fallen immortal was when he was alive. Although Jiang Wen could use his merits to manifest the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, allowing himself to grow to ten thousand feet tall.

But compared to the fallen immortals whose hearts could contain the entire divine capital, they were still far too insignificant.

The deeper Jiang Wen swam into the abyss, the more respect he felt for this fallen immortal. The reason was simple: this fallen immortal was simply too majestic.

There was nothing around, not even the ubiquitous moss and algae.

The bare wall was so smooth that it was hard to believe.

Jiang Wen even wondered if he was wandering in the blood vessels of his heart.

"Perhaps my guess is correct," Jiang Su said with a light laugh.

The underwater journey was quite tedious, and it was only with her company that it wasn't so boring. Although Jiang Su was one with Jiang Wen, her knowledge and understanding had changed considerably.

Based on what Jiang Wen said, Jiang Su felt that if the entire Land of Divine Blessing existed on the corpse of that fallen immortal, then the Hundred Streams God must be inside the fallen immortal's mind. The place they entered must have been the mouth of this fallen immortal, who still possessed supreme supernatural powers even in death.

"With words that carry the mandate of heaven, the law follows. Fallen immortals are originally immortals, so their tongues are naturally extraordinary. Therefore, inanimate objects find it difficult to enter the land of fallen immortals, and without special methods, they cannot find the entrance." Thinking about this, Jiang Wen felt something was strange.

If the entrance to Baixi is the mouth of the Fallen Immortal, then wouldn't the place with three barriers be the mouth and throat of the Fallen Immortal? If so, it would explain why the entrance to the Land of Divine Blessing is narrow at first and then widens.

"This fallen immortal is just like Pangu in our mythology; his physical body could create a world," Jiang Wen couldn't help but tease. It's hard to imagine that the corpse of a fallen immortal could contain a star. How magnificent he must have been when he was alive.

"I wonder what this fallen immortal's name is, and which fallen immortal it is."

“If you want to find the true name of this fallen immortal, you can understand a thing or two from the inscription on the stone tablet,” Jiang Su said. “Constantly guarding the Zen mind and controlling the wind and rain, the Dao spreads its might and suppresses the universe.”

"The presence of Zen and Tao in these two phrases indicates that his identity is definitely related to Buddhism and Taoism. The words 'wind and rhythm' reveal the source of his supernatural powers. This Fallen Immortal possesses the bodies of both Buddhism and Taoism, subduing demons and monsters, and stabilizing the universe. The phrase 'vast power' shows that his power and virtue are boundless and his supernatural powers are great. If I am not mistaken, this Fallen Immortal should be the Southern Growth Heavenly King, one of the legendary Four Heavenly Kings."

Jiang Su's cold voice rang out, yet it was a meticulous and revealing process. She slowly unveiled the identity of this fallen immortal, making Jiang Wen suddenly realize the truth.

“Now that you mention it, I understand. It is said that the Heavenly King of Growth governs the ‘wind’ element of the Four Laws of ‘favorable weather’ and is also a guardian deity in Buddhism. In Taoism, Growth is meant to increase the good roots of all beings, so he can be considered to have great virtue and power. I see, I see.”

Jiang Wen was overjoyed and took out the stone tablet to examine it. Although several of the bronze inscriptions had faded, there was still enough time remaining. He carefully studied the poem, and the more he looked, the clearer it became.

"The Heavenly King of Growth is actually one of the Four Heavenly Kings!" he exclaimed, quite surprised by the identity of this fallen immortal. But upon reflection, it made sense.

Each of the four tribes has its own place of dwelling, corresponding perfectly to the four Heavenly Kings. Baixi was born under the Heavenly King of Growth and received the wisdom and precepts, so the divine capital is well-ordered and the laws are solemn.

The River of Hesitation and the Bridge of Confusion are both tests of the minds of all beings.

Those blue-faced people living in the holy land are free from worries about life and death, no longer subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, nor needing to struggle for daily meals. This complements the Heavenly King's sword, which cuts away evil thoughts and troubles.

After figuring it out, everything made sense. Jiang Wen felt that fate was truly wondrous.

He had previously summoned the Four Heavenly Kings for assistance, but he never expected that they would actually come to the main body today.

If it were the body of a Heavenly King, that would indeed make sense.

"Now that we know the true name of this fallen immortal, it will be easier to solve any trouble we encounter." Jiang Wen was unusually relaxed and talked to Jiang Su about the various things in the Holy Land.

"Those blue-faced people are immortal and don't need grains. They just have nothing to do all day. But I heard Na Rui say that those imprisoned in the Holy Land will gradually lose their flesh until their skin and flesh are gone, leaving only bones, and they will continue to live. Unless they are thrown into the Fallen Immortal Lake or some forbidden areas, they will hardly die."

“They are all pitiful people.” Jiang Su sighed softly. She was formed from the kindness of the people of Taicang City, and her nature was compassionate and benevolent. Although she and Jiang Wen were of the same lineage, they were completely different.

Hearing of the world's suffering, one naturally feels much pity.

"If we can rescue them, it would be a good deed."

“But I don’t think those people are very trustworthy. I always feel like they’re hiding something from me.” Jiang Wen calmed down and told Jiang Su about his previous feelings.

“Since there are doubts, we might as well observe a little longer,” Jiang Su said. “Since they know the methods of death, they must have seen those situations before. If we can go to those forbidden areas they mentioned, we might be able to find out something.”

"We'll see when the time comes; this abyss is about to bottom out."

As soon as Jiang finished speaking, the darkness in front of him gradually brightened.
