Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Jingzhou is located on the westernmost side of the Kyushu Continent. It was born from the chaotic sea of ​​fog in the far west and borders Luzhou Mingzhou in the east.

According to legend, Jingzhou is the place where all dreams begin. As early as the prehistoric era, there were legends about the origin of all things in Jingzhou. Some ancient beasts that have opened up their spiritual intelligence often have the urge to go to Jingzhou during their long lives.

In the old immortal calendar era, Immortal Ancestor Chicheng ascended to Lingshan, but in fact he attained enlightenment in Jingzhou. After he attained enlightenment as a young boy, he traveled all over the continent of Kyushu and learned from the best of hundreds of schools of thought, before finally condensing the supreme immortal way and using it to open up the immortal world. In the tens of thousands of years that followed, although the Kyushu Immortal Path was led by Lingshan, Jingzhou could always breed behemoths with deep roots.

After the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Zhiyao led the Immortal Alliance to occupy Lingshan Mountain, and used Tianzun's bow to frighten the immortals, and grabbed the title of Immortal. A group of true immortals had no choice but to retreat to Jingzhou, the place of ancient origin, embracing the imperial court and slowly licking their wounds.

In the millennia that followed, for people on the right side of the sky, time in Jingzhou seemed to have frozen. Even if one stood on the Crescent Moon Guanghan Palace and looked down through the Gangfeng layer, one could only see a still and still place. The vast land.

The land that once gave birth to the first batch of creatures in the world, and then enlightened the supreme immortality, has never sprouted any new buds, and is unable to blow even a breeze. The rivers no longer flow, the clouds no longer float, and Jingzhou seems to be sealed in an infinite piece of amber.

If it weren't for the millennium of the New Immortal Calendar, there would always be desolate demons coming from Jingzhou, sneaking into the country, causing all kinds of chaos... The Immortal Alliance wouldn't even be able to find more solid evidence to prove that there are still living people in Jingzhou.

This is of course the magical power of the Xian family in the newly established heaven. Everything is just like before the catastrophe. No matter how much people in the mortal world looked up, their sight could not reach the fairy world high above. Now that the fairy world has fallen and the Heavenly Court has settled in Jingzhou, it has turned the entire Jingzhou into a fairyland on earth, isolating all outside prying eyes.

Wang Luo, on the other hand, is the first outsider to set foot in Jingzhou in person in thousands of years.

——

"How's it going? As the first guest that Jingzhou has welcomed in a thousand years, how do you feel?"

When Wang Luo heard this, he couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the Lord of Heaven who had forcibly "invited" him to Jingzhou as a guest without any explanation. He thought about his words and said calmly.

"Just, pretty ordinary."

The Lord of Heaven then smiled and said: "To be honest, I feel that Jingzhou is quite ordinary. Even my villa as the Lord of Heaven is surrounded by mountains, rivers, birds and animals that can be seen everywhere in the mortal world. "

Wang Luo said: "If you put it this way, it's not that ordinary..."

As he spoke, he heard a sharp crane roar above his head, and saw a nine-headed blood crane with a body as huge as a floating island. Three of its heads tilted downwards, and seventeen topaz-like eyeballs stared at the ground. Wang Luo, purple saliva flowed from his beak.

But before the giant crane swooped down, an ancient tree reaching up to the clouds stretched out its branches - branches as big as the skyscrapers in Rong City, and slowly swung it towards the giant crane like a soft whip. The dense burls on the branches exploded one after another, and a yellow-green spore mist filled the air, forcing the giant crane to utter the words: "Fuck you, Immortal Banban!", and then flew up to the Gangfeng layer and disappeared. trace.

The Lord of Heaven waved to the ancient tree and thanked him, then smiled at Wang Luo and said: "That blind beast is ignorant, even I can't recognize it... But there is no need to worry, that beast has learned a lesson." "

Wang Luo kept his eyes fixed on the ancient tree that helped him to rescue him, and asked: "That tree, could it be..."

"Yes, it is the legendary oldest tree in Kyushu that was born when the world was born. Its roots penetrate the deep earth and reach the sea of ​​chaos and mist. And the ends of its branches and leaves can extend to the sea of ​​​​stars. Back then, the Chicheng Immortal Ancestor attained enlightenment under the tree, and all living things in Jiuzhou can be said to be its children..."

Wang Luo said: "Actually?"

The Lord of Heaven shrugged: "Who knows? No one has spoken to it for many years. Although there is a spirit in the tree, it is chaotic, and it is probably old and confused. Fortunately, it still recognizes me, the Lord of Heaven... But look It hasn’t been a few years since I got up.”

After a pause, the Lord of Heaven suppressed all the relief on his face and said seriously: "As you can see, Jingzhou is almost dead."

"...I didn't see this step immediately."

The Lord of Heaven said: "Jingzhou, which seems ordinary at first glance, is no different from death."

Wang Luo opened his mouth, but did not refute.

The so-called ordinary is, of course, a relative term. Objectively speaking, the first impression upon entering Jingzhou can be described as shocking, whether it is the "imperial aura" flowing in the air that is as rich as substance, or the giant creatures that are all classified as birds and beasts by the Lord of Heaven in just one sentence. However, the giant objects... are all new and bizarre things that can be called incredible.

However, in Wang Luo's view, compared to the positioning of the desolate base camp in Jingzhou, everything in front of him was indeed too ordinary.

The Heavenly Court should be a more majestic and magnificent place, a place beyond imagination.

What's more, as early as the old immortal calendar era, Jingzhou, where all things originated, had no shortage of all kinds of strange objects and wonders. Whether it is a towering giant tree or a strange bird that looks like a floating island, they are all things from the past. Now they have been influenced by the desolate poison for thousands of years, and they have become even weirder.

"Actually, Jingzhou was also prosperous for a time."

In silence, the Lord of Heaven felt a little emotional.

"It was probably three to four hundred years ago in the New Immortal Calendar. Although at that time, the Heavenly Court as a whole had not completely gotten rid of the shadow of the defeat in the Battle of Dinghuang and was on the defensive, while the Immortal Alliance was making progress step by step and connecting the territory. , it seems that the general trend has been achieved, but in fact, within Jingzhou, I have initially integrated the immortals of Tianting, and signed a blood oath with the Xi Zhen two golden immortals, and received their full support. The internal strategy has actually changed to a defensive one. After several evaluations, Heavenly Court has a higher chance of winning."

As he spoke, he casually snapped his fingers, and the earth rumbled, and silk-like dazzling Qingling fairy energy flowed from countless cracks in the mud and rocks, causing vegetation to grow and rocks to turn into jade. Even the night sky above our heads suddenly opened, casting warm sunlight.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with beautiful scenes from fairy tales.

"Well, if you had come a few hundred years earlier, you would probably have seen something like this."

After saying that, the Lord of Heaven sighed again and snapped his fingers again, turning all the beauty into nothingness.

"It's a pity that the good days are fleeting. After experiencing a big setback, all the immortals lost their enterprising spirit, and this decadence was directly reflected on the land of Jingzhou. Beautiful jade turned into sand, and good birds became deformed. The strange bird. Although the size of the heaven is still there, the energy contained in this land is still almost endless, but it is already a dead bone. "

After sighing with emotion, the Lord of Heaven added: "Of course, logically speaking, even so, the etiquette of welcoming distinguished guests should still be there. At least the place where you are welcomed should have some old fairy atmosphere - just like when I When I took away the Immortal Law from my master and became the Lord of Heaven, no matter how desolate the immortals were, they still gathered enough resources to make a good show for me. Unfortunately, this time the situation was urgent and they couldn't care so much."

Wang Luo finally heard some useful news: "The situation is urgent? So, you didn't plan to let me come yet!?"

The Lord of Heaven said: "We originally agreed to invite you to Jingzhou as a guest after we have dealt with Xinheng's aftermath."

Wang Luo said in confusion: "The civil strife subsided, and the Yang family also returned to Beijun, ceded power, and agreed to send a large number of protons to the Immortal Alliance. I even supported the new emperor's enthronement, what else do you want?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Court was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I still have a lot of things to deal with here, and I think it would be quite satisfying for you to be the Supreme Emperor in the High Palace. So I planned to wait a few more months, but unfortunately the situation turned out to be... It’s not entirely satisfactory. It’s hard to explain in one sentence. I’ll explain it to you in detail later…”

"So, what exactly is the emergency?"

The Lord of Heaven said: "You stayed in Xinheng for too long, and that little deer was worried, so it quietly came to find you."

"...What kind of emergency is this? Are you still worried that she will use force to tie me back?"

The Lord of Heaven sighed: "No, if that's the case, you don't have to worry. As long as you have come into contact with the golden candle, I can drag you to Jingzhou at any time, even if you are in the Dinghuang Great Barrier. . But the crux of the problem is not that, but how could Xiaoluer, as the leader of the Zhuwang Kingdom, go deep into a foreign country alone? It was also a country where there were fusions of gods and immortals. Although her cultivation was not weak, what if there were really evil people? The consequences of trying to carry out a sneak attack are self-evident, so when she came, she brought something she shouldn’t have.”

Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt blessed and guessed the answer: "Tian Zun draws the bow?"

"Yes." The Lord of Heaven said, "Since the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, the most intimidating weapon has always been Taixu Tianzun on the crescent moon. And the little deer brought Tianzun's token, which can control the moon's crescent. Its power Even worse than Deposed Xianlu... But she is safe and secure, but I was almost ruined by her. Now, you must not meet Tianzun."

Wang Luo asked strangely: "Why? Since I woke up and entered the world, I have obviously been favored by Tianzun, and I have unusually strong luck in the Taixu Illusion Realm. Later, when I used desolate poison to enter the elixir, I was tested under Tianzun's nose. , proved innocent... So, is it because I met you that I can't see Tianzun again? Are you and Tianzun so incompatible? Or are you plotting something that is extremely detrimental to Tianzun and is therefore unacceptable? And the cause and effect of that incident is on me?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Court smiled: "It's really easier to talk to yourself... You're right. Of course Tianzun and I are incompatible, but this is not the most serious problem at this stage... The most serious problem is that I There is indeed a shady conspiracy, and some of the 'clues' are tainted on you. If Tianzun learns about it, the consequences will be disastrous, but this is actually easy to understand, right? Since Taixu Tianzun has always been the number one in our new heaven. How could we not plot against the enemy? As for the method, you and I should be able to figure it out. If you were in my position, what solution could you think of? "

Wang Luo thought for a moment and said: "With the specialness of Tianzun, after combining with the way of heaven to achieve the great law, his magical power is probably no less than when he was alive. And with your remaining formation in heaven, it is even difficult to break through the Immortal Alliance's Desolation Formation head-on. The world is naturally more incapable of facing Tianzun directly on the crescent moon. If you can't face an opponent who is too powerful, then... Tsk, aren't you? "

The Lord of the Heavenly Court said: "Sure enough, I guessed it right. Yes, if you want to deal with the Immortal Ancestor far away on the Gangfeng layer, the best way is to replace it with what the senior sister has demonstrated. She can fabricate a brand new me in the Immortal League, So when I was fabricating a new senior sister tit for tat, I naturally thought, why can't I fabricate a new Taixu Tianzun? No matter how much the senior sister has transformed the old man Chicheng, the core of Tianzun is still Chicheng, and as long as Chicheng is not there. , Tianzun will naturally collapse, and no one can influence the power of the Great Law and the Five States to condense the immortal-killing arrow. "

But after hearing this, Wang Luo was still puzzled and asked: "First, it is obvious that your plan has not been successful, otherwise the Immortal Alliance would have been in chaos due to the fall of Tianzun; secondly, even if you had previously intended to target Tianzun, but now You have given up resistance and decided to hand over your inheritance to me and reconcile with the Immortal Alliance...why worry about the reaction of Tianzun himself, unless it is..."

The Lord of Heaven sighed: "Yes, it's this 'unless'. First, although the plan has not yet been completed, it is only one step away from completion. And at this point, the most I can do is suppress it and not take the final step. But there is absolutely no way to perform an abortion for the old man and return everything to its original state - after all, when it comes to realm, Tianzun is still far ahead of all of us. Secondly, I did give up the struggle and wanted to reconcile with the Immortal Alliance, but Tianzun himself. But I don’t think so.”

"Grass."

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but cursed.

"In other words, you created a replica of Tianzun that you can't control at all!?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Court argued: "The Heavenly Lord is not completely controllable. Otherwise, do you think that with Lu Zhiyao's temperament, why wouldn't he shoot me with arrows every once in a while?"

After a pause, the Lord of the Heavenly Court continued: "Moreover, why do you think Lu Zhiyao has gradually retired to seclusion over the past few hundred years and no longer acted as a director? Just to make the Heavenly Lord 'uncontrollable' already requires us to do our best... Although Chicheng is dead, after integrating his remains into Taixu Illusion and combining them with the Great Law, his life form has become more sublimated than before. And for such a monster, you can really expect it to obey orders like a puppet. No independent thinking? It's just that Lu Zhiyao had no choice at the time, and I... also had no choice."

Wang Luo asked: "So, to sum up, although you left me the entire Jingzhou as a legacy, whether I can successfully accept the legacy depends on my ability? Then what do you think I am capable of and how good I can be?" An imitation of Taixu Tianzun..."

The Lord of Heaven said: "So, I don't plan to let you do this alone. We will help you together."

"……us?"

"Yes, Lu Zhiyao and I, two great masters will serve you. Are you satisfied now?"
