From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 247 Sword Shadow and Immortal Traces
"Who... is flaunting their destiny?"

Suddenly, You Ming seemed to hear a deep voice.

In his mind, an incredibly terrifying scene appeared uncontrollably.

The massive Yinshan Mountain lay silently, like a colossal beast that had been dead for countless years.

Deep within the mountains, amidst swirling mists, an ancient and untraceable will slowly awakens from the earth.

Although that consciousness had weakened considerably, the extremely intense aura and the high level of primal power still made You Ming tremble with fear.

He could sense that this consciousness seemed to share the same origin as those other gods and even evil spirits. No, to be precise, all other gods and evil spirits were born from this source.

This is the mother goddess of countless deities, the ruler of a pantheon, and the true lord of Yinshan, much like the City God among the earth deities, possessing a lofty status and formidable power.

"Showing off your destiny? What do you mean by that? I just wanted to try my luck and achieve some extraordinary achievement, how did I end up provoking such a terrifying guy?"

Even with a willpower level as high as 5, You Ming was still in a panic.

Because he was immobilized at the level of his soul, he couldn't use any of his countless methods.

No amount of magic or cheat codes will work.

"Could it be... that this is a side effect of increasing good fortune?"

You Ming's mind is working very fast right now.

In fact, he had discovered before that if his values ​​increased too much, it could easily trigger a series of negative effects.

For example, if someone has exceptionally high comprehension but doesn't simultaneously enhance their willpower, their brain can easily be damaged.

However, if one elevates their spirituality too much, it is easy to become addicted to the endless and magnificent rules of the Heavenly Dao, causing their soul to dissipate and their body to perish.

Now, raising one's fortune too high could easily attract terrifying beings far beyond one's current level.
Is this a blessing or a curse?

You Ming was on the verge of tears. There was no instruction manual for all these cheat codes. If he had known earlier that increasing his luck too much would have this consequence, he would have only added two or three points as a token gesture.

"Such a high destiny... such a rare destiny, it's really tempting."

You Ming was already in a state of panic, and the voice in his ear made his heart jump even more.

As the voice rose and fell, the entire Yinshan Mountain seemed to undulate.

In You Ming's consciousness, he saw that black mist was rising all around the vast Yinshan Mountains, cold and desolate.

No, that's not fog, that's a "death omen".

Those were the wisps of air formed from the decaying thread of fate, constantly tearing apart cause and effect around them, corroding heaven and earth.

I'm dying!

For some reason, when You Ming saw the black mist, countless pieces of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was as if another brain was thinking for him and telling him the results of its thinking.

You Ming's mind trembled uncontrollably, but the ghostly aura had transformed into a phantom maw, slowly opening like a black hole, about to devour everything about You Ming.

Especially his extraordinary good fortune seemed to be an extremely delicious delicacy in front of this person.

You Ming felt his mind go blank, his heart filled with fear, and he felt an indescribable sense of oppression that made it hard for him to breathe.

But he had no way to escape.

"Encountering a serendipitous adventure, officially unlocking the achievement."

"Adventure Name: [Sword Shadow Immortal Traces]".

Just when You Ming was in despair, a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

"At this point, what's the use of even a miraculous encounter?" You Ming was very disappointed. People were about to die, so what good would even the greatest miraculous encounter do? It was all just a dream.

but……

He soon realized he had been too pessimistic.

"Qiang."

Just as the giant maw was about to devour everything belonging to You Ming, a towering sword shadow appeared out of thin air in You Ming's consciousness.

This is a broken sword; the blade is already damaged, heavily corroded, and almost shattered.

However, the sword's blade gleamed with a jade-like radiance, exuding an ethereal and extraordinary aura. Even in its current broken state, one could almost imagine its unparalleled splendor in its prime.

For some reason, the moment You Ming looked at the broken sword, his heart suddenly trembled, as if he had seen this sword somewhere before.

Sword energy swept across the sky, causing the void to tremble. The broken sword was deeply embedded in the very center of Yinshan Mountain, as if it were stuck in a person's heart.

The gaping, ferocious maw continuously collapsed and dissipated under this force.

"Damn it."

"It's been tens of thousands of years, why haven't you dispersed yet!"

The Lord of Yinshan let out a painful roar, and the entire Yinshan seemed to tremble. All the alien gods and evil spirits were even more terrified, because a force was constantly drawing out their source.

Countless black, vein-like tentacles continuously spread out from Yinshan Mountain, clinging layer by layer to the broken sword, seemingly trying to forcibly pull the broken sword out of its body.

"Qiang."

But the sword aura on the broken sword was even more intense, and within that intense sword aura, one could vaguely see a divine sword that was entirely like green jade.

"This is……"

You Ming's mind stirred. No wonder he felt the broken sword was familiar; it was it!
"what……"

The Lord of Yinshan let out a blood-shattering scream!
The sword seemed to pierce some unseen boundary, creating ripples that spread like waves in water. As the ripples expanded, the power of the Lord of Yin Mountain slowly faded, while the power of the broken sword also contracted.

It's like a bone-deep infection, forever preventing the Lord of Yinshan from escaping.

You Ming suddenly realized that his body seemed to be able to move again. The powerful consciousness had subsided, and the ten thousand miles of Yinshan Mountain and the broken sword that reached the sky and the earth in his consciousness had also disappeared.

It all felt like a dream.

You Ming exited the Dharma form and looked up at the distant Yin Mountain.

Although Yinshan was still shrouded in a hazy black mist, it no longer had the oppressive and despairing atmosphere it had before.

He also knew perfectly well that this was absolutely true, because beside him, a string of words floated:
The serendipitous achievement, "Sword Shadow Immortal Trail," is in progress.

"Qingji...Qingji, did you save me?"

You Ming spoke slowly, seemingly to himself.

He had just seen a jade-like sword shadow condensing in the void, which was the Qingji Divine Sword he had obtained when he entered the first instance, Blood Battle of Litian Palace, during the Pan Sui Tianfu trial.

He also used the divine sword to join forces with the Long-Browed Taoist to defeat the Blood God Child.

But isn't everything here virtual?

"Who are you?"

Why do I feel so close to you?

Just as You Ming was frowning, a slightly cold voice entered his ears.
