From the end of the world

Chapter 330: The Great Disaster

Because I have been away for a while, the climate in the Yueyin Mountain area has become cooler now. I estimate that the temperature will continue to drop until it returns to the low temperature it should have been.

Although I have returned here, the temperature has not shown any signs of rising. Now I can control my own Fa Tian Xiang Di and choose whether to change the natural climate because of my existence. When I returned to Xianshui City before, I also consciously controlled the impact of my Fa Tian Xiang Di on the city's climate.

The reason why I can bring everyone to this place instantly at this time is actually related to the skill of Fa Tian Xiang Di.

"Is this... Yueyin Mountain?"

Zhu Shi also knew about the big news happening in Yueyin Mountain. When she saw the tragic scene of the broken mountains and rivers, she realized where she was taken. She showed a very puzzled expression and said, "Was it your flame teleportation that transferred us here just now? But I remember that your flame teleportation can only teleport your own body and personal belongings, and cannot teleport anyone other than yourself?"

"No... the ability just now doesn't seem to be a teleportation based on the power of fire, but more like a ritual spell related to the earth veins..." Mr. Zhu pondered, "In the magic of the natural realm, there is such a means of movement, that is, moving through the spiritual veins, or earth veins, that are spread throughout the mountains and rivers of the earth.

"This method of movement usually requires multiple demon hunters to perform extremely complex rituals to achieve it. However, if it is a top demon hunter who has spent a long time practicing this skill, most of the ritual steps can be omitted, and the world can be brought close together. In one step, you can reach any place in the world.

"This spell is sometimes confused with the Buddhist Divine Foot Power. Although it is not the same skill, it is also regarded as a kind of magical power. It is the highest level of movement in Taoist spells. It corresponds to the 'Deep Abyss and Shrinking the Earth' of the 36 Changes of the Heavenly Gang in mythology, and the 'Divine Movement' of the 72 Changes of the Earthly Evils.

"If my judgment is correct, Zhuang Cheng, the reason you can perform this magical power is because you imposed laws on nature itself, making it cooperate with you to complete this miracle, right?"

“That’s pretty much it,” I admitted.

The law of the great impermanence of heaven and earth is to redefine the laws of heaven and the image of earth. This can not only make the natural climate present changes that are in line with its own attributes, but also command the heaven, earth and nature itself.

If Zhu Shi and Xiao Wan's correct position of heaven and earth when they were young still needed to consult with nature and ask nature for help, then Da Wu Chang only needed to give an order. He didn't even need to say it verbally, he could directly issue orders using his own magic power as a medium.

In fact, this was my first time doing this. Although I thought that "this might work", I just gave it a try.

In addition, I should also be able to give some commands to animals and plants in nature, such as making animals understand my commands, or making plants grow according to my wishes within a certain range.

My luck will probably be very good in the future. It won’t rain when I travel, I won’t return empty-handed when I go fishing, and I will easily get inspiration to solve difficult problems when I encounter them. However, the luck of those who are my enemies will become very bad. They will become more prone to illness, have nightmares when they sleep, and may even be struck by lightning when they go out.

There are more new changes after becoming the Great Impermanence, and as I become more familiar with my own power, there may be more new changes.

As long as the power accumulates to a strong enough level, all kinds of miracles will naturally manifest themselves - this past sentiment is gradually becoming a reality.

After listening to Mr. Zhu's explanation, Zhu Shi nodded in understanding, then looked at me speechlessly: "Brother Zhuang, you actually just want to show off your skills, right..."

I immediately changed the subject: "Anyway... you don't need to worry about your surroundings here, you and Ma go ahead and try it."

Zhu Shixian and Ma Zao went to a nearby open space to try to reset their talents through the power of return, while Mr. Zhu and I stood in the distance and watched.

It just so happened that I had a question that I wanted to ask Mr. Zhu. And he seemed to have something he wanted to tell me. He turned his head to look at me and reached into the lining of his clothes, as if he wanted to take something out.

"——You seem to have some questions for me?" He noticed my expression, "Don't mind me, just tell me your question first."

"Actually, it's not a particularly important issue, and it may be a bit offensive to your Zhu family," I said.

"It doesn't matter. What is the relationship between us? Just ask," he said.

"Thank you. What I want to know is... why did Zhu Yi die?" I asked.

This is a problem I have only recently realized. Zhu Yi is Zhu Shijiu's ancestor, who was active two or three hundred years ago, and left behind the weapon of the Yama Sword after his death. When I first learned about this, I did not have too many doubts. It is normal for an ancient person from two or three hundred years ago to not be alive today. I was bound by my own common sense.

Later, I came into contact with Yin Yue and Fu Feng, who were said to have lived for hundreds of years, and Xuan Wu, a navy master who was said to have been active in the same era as Zhu Yi, and then I slowly came to my senses. In the world of demon hunters, extending lifespan does not seem to be a difficult task.

Perhaps it is difficult for demon hunters at the level of Master and below to live as long as gods, but starting from the Great Master level, living for hundreds of years does not seem to be too outrageous. After becoming the Great Impermanence, one can even live as long as the heaven and earth. Unless one is a character like Mingzhu who has signed a contract with Naraku to fix his lifespan, there is no such thing as natural death.

In other words, if those at the Great Accomplishment level or the Great Impermanence die, it can basically only be an accidental death, and a natural death due to old age is the only exception.

Although it's a bit rude to ask someone else how their ancestor died, I still asked. Maybe this matter involves some dangerous secrets. If it's something that will cause trouble for the Zhu family, I can help solve it.

"About this matter... Actually, after listening to what you have experienced recently, I was planning to talk to you about it." said Mr. Zhu.

"My recent experience is related to the death of Zhu's ancestor?" I wondered, "Could it be that Zhu Yi's death is related to Xuanwu? Or..."

"No, it has nothing to do with Xuanwu." Mr. Zhu denied.

"If it's not Xuanwu, then..." I suddenly had an idea, "...could it be Shan Liangyi?"

I had originally planned to ask Mr. Zhu to help me collect information related to Shan Liangyi, and the Zhu family is the only person I can ask for help and who I can trust.

Therefore, during the previous communication, I also frankly told all the information I knew about Shan Liangyi, including the fact that I should be the successor of Liangyi.

"It is Shan Liangyi." Mr. Zhu nodded. "Zhuang Cheng, let me ask you a question first. Why are you so sure that you are the descendant of Liangyi? Is it just because Xuanwu insisted that you are the descendant of Liangyi?"

"It's because of the restraint relationship of power." I answered truthfully, "Even if the power of Xuanwu and I is incompatible, there should be at least a little misalignment in the restraint relationship. Because we are two people with completely different ideas, there will be some deviations in our understanding of water and fire, and this deviation will definitely be reflected in our magic power.

"One is a senior demon hunter who was born in ancient times, lived for hundreds of years, and experienced countless vicissitudes; the other is a college student who was born in modern times, is less than 20 years old, and has only been in contact with the weird world for more than a month... It is impossible for our thoughts and magic powers to be completely consistent.

"So, if we show the same consensus on the interaction of power, it can only mean that our power is 'qualified' by the same root. Since he is qualified by the Black Tortoise Seed, then I can only be qualified by the Suzaku Seed."

Mr. Zhu sighed: "I see. If that's the case, then the evidence couldn't be more conclusive."

"Are you worried that Shan Liangyi will appear in front of me one day, take away all my power, and make me become an ordinary person, or even die?" I asked.

"Although there are such concerns, that is secondary." Mr. Zhu said, "In the world of demon hunters, there is a consensus that every great impermanence is destined to experience hardships that others cannot imagine in their lives. Just like mortals must experience a catastrophe sent down by heaven and earth before or after they ascend to heaven.

"As the saying goes, 'God will give great responsibilities to those who are responsible for them...', even the unpredictable are not immune to it. Perhaps Shan Liangyi is the disaster destined for you, and even if there is no Shan Liangyi, there will inevitably be other unacceptable disasters. No matter what, the Zhu family will definitely support you, you don't need to have any extra thoughts."

"So...what do you want to say?"

Following the direction of this topic, I more or less had a premonition of what Mr. Zhu was going to say next.

The two mountains that were enough to cause a great catastrophe of impermanence, Zhu Yi, the ancestor of the Zhu family who died midway, the cast Yama sword that reminded people of the "golden elixir" of the navy master Xuanwu...all these clues came together in my mind and formed a surprising conclusion.

"According to the information passed down by the Zhu family, our ancestor Zhu Yi was also a descendant of Liang Yi, just like you," said Mr. Zhu.
