Chapter 104 The Grand Ritual of Luo Tian
Longhu Mountain, with its Danxia landform, is named after the legend that when Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Zhengyi sect, was refining elixirs here, "dragons and tigers appeared after the elixir was completed." It is the ancestral home of the Celestial Masters sect of Taoism.
Today, it is a 5A-level tourist attraction with an entrance fee of 260 yuan per person.
Not to mention the uproar caused by the sudden death of all four madmen in the popular saying in the world of supernatural beings: "One peerless master, two heroes, three corpses, four madmen." This death would cause a great deal of turmoil in the supernatural beings community, in the company that manages supernatural beings, and especially in the Quanxing organization.
Xia Jie is now just an ordinary person with a unique temperament who bought a ticket to visit the mountain. The author has personally designated her as being more powerful than the superhumans. She doesn't stand out much among the tourists.
In fact, when Xia Jie first became a reverse-spirited being with an angelic aura, she was already able to reshape her appearance.
Later, after becoming the causal law of the false world, he was able to make his physique and appearance extremely perfect.
But he still used the original skin because he felt that this was how he should look; it was a kind of cognitive self-anchoring.
In Buddhist terms, Xia Jie was attached to appearances. But who could blame him when he was a person deeply troubled by demonic thoughts—a person who had no concept of others, no concept of sentient beings, but a concept of lifespan and self?
A "demon" who pursues immortality and yearns for eternal life, clinging to the illusion of self. A "demon clinging to self" who cannot be trapped in the sea of suffering, defiled by the turbid world, or saved by the sacred mountain.
This attachment is solely my own; this appearance is solely my own mind.
That crazy aura that makes even the weaklings in the magnetic field shout, "Hey, he's a master! Everyone, retreat!" is actually the lingering "self-lewdness" left after the power was sealed.
It is the result of his awakening to the power of the mind and the manifestation of his inner self after he realized the true nature of self. It is the appearance of his mind that is colored and distorted by his physical body.
This "self-image" does not possess any particular oppressive power, but rather contains a kind of obsessive demonic quality that only a perceptive person can perceive.
Simply put, Xia Jie possesses a bewitching charm that is more potent than that of Wugensheng, the succubus of Quanxing, and even surpasses that of Liu Bei, the succubus of the Han Dynasty, and works only on the madmen.
Just like Sukuna to Rimei and Gojo Satoru to Miwa Kasumi, if you go to the Sea Tiger World and wave your hand, a bunch of bloodthirsty viewers will appear and say, "Quack! We love you!"
Fortunately, there are very few crazy people in the world, and even fewer people with keen minds, so Xia Jie just went up the mountain in an ordinary way.
There was also no instance of Wang Ye, as is common in fanfiction, actively approaching the protagonist during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to advise him against causing trouble.
As someone from another world, and a being of multiple levels, whose status surpasses the sum of time, space, and all things, Xia Jie's fate and secrets would not possibly appear in the inner world.
This world cannot comprehend his existence, much less predict his fate; reflected in the inner landscape, there is nothing there.
Xia Jie used her full potential to conserve energy and climbed the mountain with steady breathing, arriving at the open plain in front of the "Mansion Gate".
In the center of the open space, the clicking of cameras and the flash of lenses went off incessantly. The old master Zhang Zhiwei, with his white hair and beard and long eyebrows that reached his chin, stood with the leaders who came to inspect the area, making a peace sign for the camera.
Xia Jie, having processed her memories using memory techniques, immediately recalled that this was a scene from episode 2 of season 2 of Under One Person, at 4 minutes and 02 seconds.
And what follows should be...
Xia Jie closed her eyes and counted down eighteen seconds. At 4 minutes and 20 seconds, a male voice, slightly different from the anime dubbing, arrived as scheduled.
"Wu Dang Wang Ye pays respects to the Celestial Master."
Then it's 4 minutes and 45 seconds.
"Master...Master."
The voice of Zhang Chulan, the protagonist of Under One Person, rang out just as I remembered.
Beside the Celestial Master, Zhang Lingyu's demeanor differed from his gentle and sunny appearance in the anime; his calm expression concealed a hint of sadness and gloom.
The "Outcasts" are a small circle, and he must have already seen the news on his phone that the four madmen are dead.
It's highly likely that he lost his composure due to the death of his beloved Xia He.
Apart from Zhang Lingyu, everything on Longhu Mountain unfolded as if by fate, and it seemed that the deaths of the Four Madmen had not triggered much of a butterfly effect.
It's likely that Zhang Lingyu kept her emotions bottled up inside, and the commotion in the supernatural community hadn't yet reached the front mountain, which allowed the story to unfold as usual.
Speaking of which, like in Curse Returns and JoJo, this person is also subject to fate, with sayings such as "Fortune can be changed, but destiny is predetermined," "Zhang Chulan's fate is of great importance; a single thought can lead to a complete upheaval," and "Ma Xianhong's fate is lowly, making it difficult for him to achieve great things."
This highlights that minor trends can be altered, but major trends cannot; even divine intervention cannot overcome destiny.
This is a concept that Xia Jie dislikes. As someone who understands the principles of all things, he knows that a person's destiny is jointly shaped by their personality, the changing external environment, and the randomness of quantum mechanics.
The so-called fortune tellers' predictions of fate are actually empirical and theoretical predictions of the development trend of things, and cannot truly determine a person's future.
The so-called irreversible trend is actually just the inertia of the development of things. It is a popular expression that one person's strength cannot resist the torrent of the times. It may be wrong, but it is not wrong either.
But being right doesn't mean I have to like it, and being correct doesn't mean I have to accept it. The strong should trample the common sense that binds the mediocre underfoot.
So-called destiny or predestination is the principle of least action that follows the evolution of fate. The inertia of fate, the corrective force of history, the will of the world, the correction of causality, the closed loop of time, and the convergence of world lines are all his different manifestations in different worlds.
This is the most troublesome, as ordinary people are usually unable to contend with it. At the same time, it's also the simplest: simply use super intelligence or super strength to shatter fate.
Despite letting her thoughts run wild, Xia Jie showed no intention of striking up a conversation with the one-person protagonist group.
He took out a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, then sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree, waiting for Zhang Chulan to go to the back mountain before following him in.
To the non-madman, it was more of a confident aura than a demonic quality, which did not attract the attention of the old master.
During the waiting period, Xia Jie constantly used her willpower to break through the mental lock, thereby forging her mental strength.
From Hulinfu to Longhushan, I spent a few days as an ordinary person, experiencing the daily life of ordinary people again, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even playing games online all night.
He not only sorted out his inner humanity, but also vaguely gained some insight.
He's just one step away from breaking through that barrier, and then he can shout, "Ah, I get it!" and, as an ordinary person, defeat the entire world.
However, this thin layer of paper is like the half-step Foundation Establishment or half-step Golden Core in novels. You might cross that cultivation threshold in the next moment, or you might be stuck for a lifetime.
Things went smoothly from there. Xia Jie used her ultimate stealth skills to move silently, her aura blending into the natural world. She followed Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Xu San, and Xu Si from a distance through an undeveloped mountain forest, until they arrived at the cliff in front of the wide road behind the mountain.
For those with insufficient cultivation, the thick hemp rope tied to the wooden stake is the only way to reach the cliff on the other side.
A young Taoist priest, his hands tucked into his long blue sleeves, stood on the open ground in front of the cliff. He waved to Xia Jie and the other four, then pointed to the rope leading to the open ground on the other side.
"If the five of you want to get to the back mountain, there is only this path behind you. If you have no other means, please go through here."
"Wait, five people?"
Zhang Chulan frowned, realizing that things were not so simple. Weren't there only four of them: him, Feng Baobao, Lao San, and Lao Si?
Did the Taoist priest miscount?
He immediately turned around to look behind him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Xia Jie, who had been following from a distance, had now silently walked up behind Zhang Chulan, less than two meters away, and looked like the same group of people.
Oh my god, that terrifies me!
"Who, who are you!?"
"My name is Xia Jie, and I'm just an ordinary person passing by."
"What do you mean by 'super ordinary person'?"
Zhang Chulan was both wary and suspicious. Anyone who could get so close to him silently and without being noticed must be a master!
"Just an ordinary person who is very strong."
Xia Jie shrugged.
"He has no vital energy, and he eats like an ordinary person."
The naturally naive Feng Baobao's accented words reached Xu San and Xu Si's ears.
The two of them frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.
What do you mean by an ordinary person being able to sneak up behind them undetected and even infiltrate the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony of the Extraordinary World?
They can understand these words individually, but they can't understand them when they're put together. Is this even human language?
"Really?"
"Absolutely true."
The familiar question made Xia Jie's DNA stir, and he answered it less than 0.01 seconds after the question was asked.
However, his ability to catch jokes only surpassed 0% of Jujutsu Kaisen fans, because he was the only person in the world who had ever watched Jujutsu Kaisen.
