Chapter 385: Burying Me by Sunlight
Chi Miao has a strong physical body and a high level of cultivation, but in this place called "Celestial Court", everything about her seems to have been wiped away.
The geological formations here are also much harder than those we usually see.
When she inserted her fingers into the soil, she could feel the irregular pebbles stinging her skin and getting into the gaps between her nails, causing her fingers to swell up quickly.
She didn't utter a word, but silently repeated the digging motion until the pit was large enough to bury a person's bones, and then slowly placed the bones in.
They found a decent-looking stone and slowly moved it over to place on top.
Chi Miao clearly remembered who each of these bones belonged to, as if it were a kind of spiritual connection that allowed her to carve the names of the bone owners on the stone.
When the name is carved, the stone becomes a monument, and this place becomes a tomb.
After doing all this, Chi Miao would kneel down in front of the tombstone and then kowtow three times in a devout manner.
Then, a mysterious power flowed into her body, and she could sense that it was the legacy left behind by the reincarnated being.
There is no sun or moon here, so there is no concept of time. Since Chi Miao's mortal body cannot continuously dig pits to bury bones, he devised a very well-planned cycle for himself.
Dig a pit, bury the bones, kowtow, and study and pass on the tradition.
They went back and forth like this, enjoying it immensely.
Chi Miao didn't remember how long she had been there, only that the skin on her fingers kept getting worn out, festering, then growing back, only to rot again.
But she didn't utter a single complaint or show any dissatisfaction. In fact, she gradually began to perceive something unique during this continuous cycle of burying bones.
This thing made the tree of Tao in her heart grow stronger and more branching out.
The immortals beside her would chat with her, answer her questions when she felt doubtful about the inheritance, and even get excited when they sensed changes in her Dao.
She said, "Your path... is undergoing constant qualitative change. It is a unique path. Have you given it a name?"
Chi Miao shook his head: "I didn't name it. This path... is indeed difficult to define."
Her Tao is like the ocean, encompassing everything and containing all things. It seems that everything in this world, whether it exists or not, is contained within her Tao.
Her path is constantly evolving, allowing Chi Miao to clearly perceive many things in this monotonous and repetitive life.
Every day she would sort out her own path and communicate with the immortals.
"I'm starting to feel the passage of time. It's daytime now... Time seems to flow here more than a hundred times faster than in Miaohua Continent."
"That's fine too. When I'm buried and return to my homeland, I'll still be able to make it to the seven-day agreement."
……
"I can probably bury three skeletons a day. There are still more than seven hundred skeletons left. It will take another two hundred days to finish. The legacy they left behind is truly profound. Some of it even reminded me of many of my previous shortcomings. If they can survive safely, they will surely be miracles that will be remembered for all time, right?"
……
"Today I am buried at Master Li You's grave. I must thank you for casting the spell to allow us to reunite once again. If it weren't for Master Li You passing on the Dao Seed Cultivation Method to me back then, I would not be where I am today. I never thought we would meet again."
……
"I buried Yan Shu in her grave. She was the one I got along with best among all my reincarnations. Seeing me like this now, she said she was very proud and thought she had a good eye. I was indeed able to get to where I am today. Let me find her the biggest tombstone. She is more amazing than anyone else."
"But where could I find such a big stone for her? So I found one that looked decent, and carved a few more words on it before she would let me go. I also showed her the advanced version of the Burial of Heaven Technique that I had researched. After seeing it, she was silent for a long time and said that if she were still alive, she would definitely be able to research something even more powerful."
"I truly believe it, but there's nothing I can do... Yan Shu can rest in peace now. Penglai Island was destroyed, and even the tomb that Jin Qianzi made for her was ruined."
……
"There are still over a hundred skeletons to be recovered. I can clearly feel that the resentment here has subsided, which is great news. Everything I've done will allow them to rest in peace, and my guilt will be greatly reduced."
……
"I can clearly feel that my Dao seed is constantly getting stronger. Here, I have once again become a mortal without cultivation. But I have gained a lot of insights here. The greatest gain is not the inheritance, but... I know the story of each reincarnation. Some are a few words, some are hundreds of words, and some can talk to me for an entire afternoon. Only then did I truly feel that each life is so vivid."
……
"There are only ten bones left. I'm about to leave this place. Actually, I'm a little sad... Fairy, can you understand my feelings? I think if we are lucky enough to meet again in one place, it will be a very shocking and unforgettable scene."
……
Only one bone is left...
Chi Miao's hair had grown quite a bit longer, and the flamboyance in his expression had subsided considerably. He exuded mystery and tranquility, and had matured considerably.
She held the crystal skull and gazed at the immortal. She had stayed here for a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine days. Now, the celestial court was no longer filled with resentment, nor were there any piles of rubble.
She dug a pit to bury the bones, seemingly filling in much of the ground. In this dimly lit place, large and small stones lay buried, each stone representing a hero.
Now she finally understands why Jiang Yue called this place the "burial ground for immortals".
In the beginning, this was indeed the Celestial Court.
But Jiang Yue was certain that Chi Miao would complete the great undertaking of burying immortals for a thousand days, completely transforming the former Immortal Court into a "burial ground for immortals," so that all the reincarnated beings who perished here could find peace.
Chi Miao is the most important person in this plan.
They were also the biggest beneficiaries.
She understood all too well how much the Thousand Days of Immortal Burial had brought her—enough for her to savor for a lifetime, and even more so... it allowed her to truly come into contact with each and every reincarnated being.
Some trusted her, while others did not, but when she became the one who buried the dead, they all willingly gave their last strength to Chi Miao without reservation.
Holding the crystal skull, Chi Miao walked step by step to Xian. She looked at Xian with her eyes. Xian was the only person she could communicate with in the past three years. Xian was the first generation of their eons and her best friend.
Now, she should personally bury her friend.
"This is the last bone. Have you decided where you want it buried?"
The immortal can choose any position.
Xian looked at Chi Miao, her eyes red, and brushed Chi Miao's hair with one hand: "I'm not in such a hurry... I want to spend more time with you, but I know that our time is running out."
"Chi Miao, I have so much to say to you, I am so grateful and thankful. Thank you for everything you have done for us. I can be buried anywhere, but if you wish, bury me at the highest place... I will watch over them forever."
"My dear reincarnation, please bury me, bury me for a thousand days, and forge the complete body of this path."
