Chapter 861 593: The End of an Era
Talking nonsense is talking nonsense, reality is reality.
After someone took the wind bell powder, he now could be said to have achieved perfect merit.
He seeks nothing externally, only hoping to find a way to suppress the side effects brought by the cultivation of the 36 Celestial Spirits Transformations within the next three hundred years.
Internally, he needs nothing, his cultivation progress keeps growing constantly, not only without any intention to stagnate, but instead, the more thought incarnations entered dreams, the faster the progress becomes.
Probably in less than a thousand years, he possibly can become the first of the Human Race in the Celestial Profound Realm to break through the Taoist Lord's twentieth order, successfully achieving Mahayana enlightenment of the Human Race.
At that time, advancing further could make him an immortal.
Retreating, he could also achieve the Tao Fruit of Chaos Divine Demons.
Only seeking stability, nothing more is desired.
So after fulfilling the agreement with Divine Liu, when Yimiao discussed the intention to leave the Celestial Profound Realm, Chen Zhixing merely nodded slightly to indicate he understood, and didn't say anything to prevent her, but rather encouraged her:
"At present, no other residual soul will chase after you to demand to seize your physical body, if you don't leave, what are you still expecting in this Celestial Profound Realm? If I were in your place, I would have left the Celestial Profound long ago to pursue my own Great Tao."
"It's not as easy as you say." Yimiao rolled her eyes at Chen Zhixing, then extended a hand to him:
"Give it here."
"What?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow.
"The Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship that Li Er used to leave, Li Er was intimidated by the residual soul at that time, and then you killed that residual soul; I suppose this Immortal Ship is now in your hands."
While speaking, Yimiao showed no courtesy at all, as if Chen Zhixing giving her the item was only natural.
Seeing this, Chen Zhixing smiled and took out the palm-sized Jade Wave Immortal Ship from his ring and handed it over.
This was the tacit understanding between the two.
Why such an understanding?
Because after Yimiao leaves, although Daluo Taoist Lands wouldn't necessarily decline, it's only natural that in the coming thousand years it would be suppressed by the currently thriving Star Palace, and among the once Three Great Sacred Lands, with Yimiao and Li Er gone, only a half empty shell of Old Celestial Saint remained in Celestial Saint, posing no threat to Chen Zhixing.
In other words, after Yimiao leaves the Celestial Profound Realm, the Celestial Profound would almost be under Chen Zhixing's control, with Star Palace dominating, nearly akin to the former Imperial Court.
This is something Chen Zhixing has to accept Yimiao's favor for, so when Yimiao asked for the Jade Wave Immortal Ship, it was only natural for her to do so.
Of course, this is just one way of looking at it.
More fundamentally, compared to the Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship, the Celestial Saint Palace in the hands of the Celestial Saint is undoubtedly a better Immortal Ship, and now that Yimiao has left, the future ownership of the Celestial Saint Palace will naturally fall to Chen Zhixing, at which point he wouldn't need the Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship.
After taking the Immortal Ship from Chen Zhixing's hand, Yimiao played with it for a while before suddenly saying in a quiet voice to Chen Zhixing:
"After I leave, the future of the entire Celestial Profound will be in your hands; I hope by then you will definitely defend this world, so that when the day comes that I succeed in Tao enlightenment and return, I won't find this hometown already destroyed in the sands of time."
"Alright."
Chen Zhixing nodded in agreement, knowing what Yimiao meant by 'we'.
The Human Race had been in the Celestial Profound Realm for more than fifty thousand years, and over these fifty thousand years, Yimiao and Li Er weren't the only ones who chose to leave the Celestial Profound; many more cultivators chose to leave, probably numbering in the double digits.
Yet after all these years, none have returned.
Yimiao's words at this time are really just to wish for good luck, hoping that one day she succeeds in Tao enlightenment and returns, hoping to see the current Celestial Profound, and to see Chen Zhixing, this old acquaintance.
"Mountains and rivers may meet again, I'll probably leave in three days, there's no need to come see me off then."
"Until we meet again."
"Good!"
...
Three days later, with a rainbow breaking through the sky from the Central Domain, it marked the last trace left by this extraordinary woman as she chose to leave her hometown after reigning over the Celestial Profound for three thousand years.
Yimiao left like this.
Seizing the last moments of Descent, first entering the Cosmic World, then advancing from the Cosmic World to the boundless dead star river.
When leaving, her determination was even more resolute than Li Er.
Until it was confirmed that she really left.
Under this sky, the figure of the Celestial Saint appeared beside Chen Zhixing, with endless pursuit in his eyes.
"With her talent and skills, she should have left the Celestial Profound long ago, the reason why I didn't want to pass this position to her originally was because I didn't want to delay her future.....with her talent, staying in the Celestial Profound as my successor was a bit too unfortunate."
"Saying this now, isn't it too late?"
"Haha, not too late, not too late." The Celestial Saint caressed his beard, then looked at Chen Zhixing with a gaze that made Chen Zhixing feel odd: "Kid, you must know that whether Li Er or you, when it comes to true talent, both fall short of this girl by more than one level; if it were her, as long as she is willing to work hard, it's never too late."
Chen Zhixing: "???"
Is this guy senile?
He, Chen Zhixing, has overwhelmingly impressive cultivation talent, even possesses the Celestial Saint's Innate Chaos Tao Body.
Li Er, Huayu Immortal Venerable, although his death was regrettable, his cultivation talent was also impeccable, achieving Tao enlightenment within hundreds of years, and further reversed cultivation with his Primordial Yang Tao Body towards Chaos Body, progressing significantly!
