“Such concentrated Spiritual Qi!”
Upon stepping foot into the cave, Chen Xiaobei could not help but let out a shout of bewilderment. Though the amount of Spiritual Qi inside this cave was slightly less than the Spiritual Qi of the holy grounds of the Golden Dragon Temple, this cave still contained at least ten years’ worth of Spiritual Qi!
“It’s amazing that I can use the Spiritual Qi that my enemies stored for decades to improve my own power! Muahahaha!”
Without wasting any time, Chen Xiaobei closed the door. He then sat with legs crossed and started to work on his cultivation. When he channeled the Scripture of Heaven and Earth, all the Spiritual Qi around him turned into streams of white airflow and poured into his body. His bones and muscles were purified with Spiritual Qi to accommodate the amount of Spiritual Qi that he was about to take in. As time passed by, his Dantian was slowly becoming bigger and bigger as well. That was why people always said that folks with higher cultivation could store more Spiritual Qi in their Dantian! As a result, they could imbue more Qi in their attack; making it more powerful!
One could absorb more Spiritual Qi when the person’s Dantian expanded. In other words, the body would process it faster as well. With the help of the Scripture of Heaven and Earth, Chen Xiaobei could absorb and process all the Spiritual Qi inside this cave within five days! Emptying the Spiritual Qi inside this cave would definitely incur the wrath of the members of the Iron Gut Faction. Of course, Chen Xiaobei would feel really glad if he knew that they were getting mad over him. They are after all sworn enemies!
“Xiaobei! Xiaobei!”
A voice echoed in Chen Xiaobei’s head when he entered the deep meditation zone.
“Who is that?”
An idea flashed through Chen Xiaobei’s mind but he did not break his deep meditation state.
“It’s your Sifu!”
Immediately, a young hunk of a Daoist that was around twenty-eight years old appeared in Chen Xiaobei’s mind. The aura emanated from him was simply astonishing! He had a high nose and a pair of good thick lips. One could describe him as a bohemian; unrestrained by the rules of three realms judging from his forehead. His eyes were as deep as the universe; making others not dare to underestimate his wit!
“Si… Sifu? You are my Sifu?”
Feeling bemused, Chen Xiaobei felt that this person in his mind possessed a sense of closeness even though this was his first time meeting him!
“That’s right! I’m your Sifu!”
The Prime of Tongtian nodded his head and continued to say, “So, you have finally succeeded in mastering the Scripture of Heaven and Earth! I’m still at the Ancient Land! Thus, I have no other option but to use Divine Thought to communicate with you when I saw that you just entered the deep meditation state!”
Chen Xiaobei was really excited after hearing that.
“Actually, I’ve wanted to talk to you for the longest time! There are many things that I couldn’t understand. I need your guidance!”
“I know all the question in your mind. You want to ask about the Primordial Lord of Heaven’s Three Realms Mission, right?”
“Yes! I couldn’t figure out why the Primordial Lord of Heaven would come up with such a mission. I know I did offend him earlier but I think he is making a big fuss over such minor issue! And, he is making my life difficult! He is making the lives of deities that traveled down to human realm difficult! He even vented his anger on NeZha; considering that he is a disciple of Chanism! It baffles me!”
“All the questions that you have in your mind pointed out the real issue here! This Three Realms Mission is not as simple as you thought it was! Making you pay for what you did to him was just a bonus! His intention is far greater than that!”
“What is his real intention?”
Chen Xiaobei was all ears. He could not wait to listen to the truth.
“This is god’s plan. I’m not allowed to tell you too much about it! At least not now! If not, the consequences are going to be really bad if the catastrophic event comes early!”
Catastrophic event?
Chen Xiaobei remembered that the Primordial Lord of Heaven mentioned this phrase when he assigned the Three Realms Mission to his fellow deities. Since the Prime of Tongtian decided not to tell Chen Xiaobei about it, he had no intention to pursue it as well.
Feeling bemused, Chen Xiaobei said, “Sifu, you are one of the deities of Sanqing. In other words, you are the most powerful god within these three realms! Why do you have to fear this catastrophic event?”
“Sanqing is not the most powerful here in three realms. Dadao is more powerful than me!”
The Prime of Tongtian shook his head.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei still had some doubts about it.
“The most powerful deity, Hong Diao Daoist was the one that commanded Pan Gu to separate heaven and earth. He stabilized land, water, fire, and wind right after that. It is important to know that he was so mighty that he could command the Qing Qi raised to the air to form heaven and the Zhuo Qi stayed at the ground level to form the earth! Later, we called it Qiankun! The birth of the chaotic ancient land was his doing as well! He too was the one that created the reincarnation process. After heaven and earth were separated, Pan Gu’s primordial spirit divided into three different parts; turning into Pan Gu Sanqing. His divine blood turned into Twelve Ancestral Witches. Hong Diao Daoist then assigned the Sanqing position to his most trusted disciples. Other than that, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin became the West Dyad Saints. Lastly, Nuwo was assigned as the queen of the demonic race.”
“Even the Six Tiandao Saints have to act upon the laws of nature as well! This is why I can’t tell you the details of the catastrophic event. All you need to know is Hong Diao Daoist and Six Tindao Saints are the only deities within these three realms that have the power to go through countless of catastrophic events!”
Chen Xiaobei was shocked after hearing the Prime of Tongtian’s explanation. Considering that even the Prime of Tongtian feared the catastrophic event, Chen Xiaobei realized that he was just a speck of dust within these three realms. Feeling lost, he had no idea where to begin his journey.
“My dear disciple, you don’t have to feel lost! The purpose of me deciding to contact you is to let you know that you should always follow your heart to finish this path that you are walking on currently! Try your best to help the fellow deities that traveled down to earth to recruit as many disciples as possible!”
“Every catastrophic event is going to be really huge! And, you are the game-changing variable in this catastrophic event! I believe that you have the power to alter every catastrophic event that you are going to experience!”
Sitting there in awe, Chen Xiaobei said, “Not even the Six Tiandao Saints could alter the laws of nature…I’m just an ordinary human being; how is it possible for me to achieve something so huge? I’m afraid I will disappoint you…”
“Do you still remember the thing that I told you when I first met you? I told you that the responsibility of maintaining the peace of three realms has fallen on your shoulders!”
“This…This is real? I thought you were not being serious at that time…”
“I’m serious…Remember, you have to respect the law of nature no matter what! However, don’t put all your trust on fate because you are the game-changing variable in fate!”
“Yes…”
Right after that, Chen Xiaobei calmed himself down to slowly internalize the things that his Sifu just told him.
“I will definitely bear your teachings in mind all the time! Helping the fellow deities will be my priority! Meanwhile, I will never stop improving myself to become more powerful! I will definitely not disappoint you!”
“Great! You shall get back to your training. I will give you something nice when I come back from the Ancient Land!”
“Hold on, Sifu! I have one more question!”
Initially, Chen Xiaobei wanted to ask about the mysterious goddess that he met earlier. However, the Moon Lord told him that it was a divine secret. There was a high chance that even the Prime of Tongtian would not tell him about it.
In the end, Chen Xiaobei was forced to ask another question.
“Earlier, NeZha told me something about Wu Zetian being reincarnated. Is it real? What’s the secret in this matter?”
