Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 467 - 325: The Secret of the Queen Mother of the West (Part 3)

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable."

"But what should we do now? Will these forces remaining on the Moon cause trouble?" Sun Yan asked anxiously.

"They will, so we need to find a way to remove them. You can use the Samadhi True Flame to refine these things and prevent the spread of the Corrosive Power. However, it might take a long time, so you must be prepared."

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao examined the foam and ultimately gave his own conclusion.

"This is a serious responsibility, leave it to me then." Sun Yan murmured to himself with a solemn expression after a brief pause.

Zhou Mangmang and Lin Wan lacked the ability to use the Samadhi True Flame, and Lin Wan, an ordinary person, would find it difficult to survive on the Moon, while Sun Yan had already achieved abstaining from food and requiring no oxygen.

In the current situation, to clear the Corrosive Power, Sun Yan was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Sun Yan immediately moved forward quickly, delving deeper into where the body of the Longevity Species lay.

After the Longevity Species dies, their body immediately begins to decay, something all of the Immortal Family knows.

And from the decaying corpse, a piece of Longevity Stone will emerge, which can grant immortality.

According to the Queen Mother of the West, the effect of this Longevity Stone, although not as potent as Her Elixir of Immortality, can extend a person's life by a thousand years, which is considered a blessing for the short-lived mortals.

This time, Sun Yan's goal was to bring back the Longevity Stone and present it to the Queen Mother of the West as a proof to obtain a share of the Elixir of Immortality for Lin Wan.

As he continued to delve into the depths of the foam, the area had long become uninhabitable.

Once contaminated, the body would immediately be subject to on-the-spot corrosion.

Fortunately, Sun Yan possessed an immortal body, allowing him to avoid this fate. After some searching, he soon discovered a massive stone several meters high.

Although this stone was insignificant to the vastness of the Longevity Species,

for Sun Yan, it was still relatively large.

Without dwelling on the stone's mysteries, Sun Yan quickly lifted the Longevity Stone and ran back the way he came.

Kunlun Ruins.

The Queen Mother of the West, reclining on Kunlun Hill, lifted her head to gaze towards the direction of the Taiyin Star.

"It seems they have some means; I didn't expect them to actually succeed." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The three bluebirds exchanged glances, and one of them asked in confusion, "Holy Mother, did you think they would fail?"

"If you thought they would fail, why would you let them go to the Taiyin Star?"

A trace of puzzlement appeared on the Queen Mother of the West's face, as if the words just spoken did not come from her mouth.

But soon, the expression on the Queen Mother of the West's face turned inscrutable.

She let out a mysterious laugh: "Everything is just the product of a failed experiment and should all be eradicated to ensure the final outcome of the experiment."

"Wha-what?" one of the bluebirds asked in bafflement.

They had accompanied the Queen Mother of the West and served her for countless years.

But never before had they felt so unfamiliar with the Queen Mother of the West as today, as if this ancient deity had suddenly changed souls.

A shiver of cold inexplicably arose in their hearts.

What did the Queen Mother mean by this? Why did it sound so eerie?

"Holy Mother, what exactly are you talking about..." one bluebird asked tremulously.

It had followed the Queen Mother of the West, staying by her side for who knows how many years.

But today was the first time it realized how mysterious the Queen Mother of the West was. Their understanding of her was but the tip of the iceberg.

No! They never truly understood the Queen Mother of the West!

From where did she come? Why does she possess such an extraordinary treasure as the Elixir of Immortality?

How ancient is she really?

No living being knew.

And at this moment, the words the Queen Mother of the West suddenly spoke could very well be the truth she had been suppressing in her heart for many years.

"After so many years of waiting, all this farce is finally coming to an end. Once the seal is broken and the mothership receives my response signal, I should leave this place. I've finally waited for this day."

The Queen Mother of the West slowly stood up from the top of Kunlun Hill, staring faintly towards the Taiyin Star, speaking to herself.

The "Huainanzi·Land of Dreams" records: In ancient times, the four poles were broken, Kyushu split, the heavens did not cover completely, the earth did not fully bear weight, fire burned without being extinguished, water flooded without ceasing, ferocious beasts devoured people, birds of prey seized the old and weak. Therefore, Nüwa smelted five-colored stones to mend the sky, cut the legs of the turtle to stand the four poles, killed the black dragon to aid Jizhou, and piled reed ashes to stop the flooding waters.

The sky was mended, the four poles corrected, the floodwaters dried, Jizhou leveled, treacherous creatures perished, humans flourished. They turned their backs on the square states, embraced the round heavens. The harmony of spring with autumn, slumber in square beds, rest in shade and sun where the obstructed rise falls, the contrary qi is stopped, harmful excess is restrained. At that time, some reclined at ease, some lay wide-eyed, thinking themselves horses or cattle, shambling and staring, all harmonizing, unaware of their origin, floating without desire, with shadows not knowing where to go.

At that time, birds and beasts, vipers and snakes, all hid their claws and fangs, concealed their venom, and had no heart for clawing and biting. Examining their merits, they reached the nine heavens above, made contact with the yellow earth below, known to later generations, shining light upon all things, riding thunder chariots, driving dragons of different colors, seizing auspicious signs, seated on verdant couches, yellow clouds entwined, the white loong in front, the coiled serpent behind, floating in tranquil repose, conversing with ghosts and spirits, ascending the nine heavens, meeting the emperor at the Celestial Gate, resting beneath the Great Ancestral One.

Nevertheless, not extolling their achievements, nor acclaiming their fame, concealing the way of the true person, conforming to the inherent principles of heaven and earth, why do they do so? Because the way of virtue penetrates above, and intelligence naturally vanishes.

The "Lunheng·On Heavenly Talk" records: Gonggong contended with Zhuang Xu to become the Heavenly Emperor but was defeated, and in anger, he struck the Mountain of Not-So, causing the heavenly pillar to break, and the earth's supports to be severed.

Nüwa smelted the five-colored stones to mend the sky and cut the legs of the turtle to stand the four poles. The sky was deficient in the northwest, so the sun, moon, and stars moved there; the earth was deficient in the southeast, so all rivers flowed there.

The "Liezi·Tangwen" records: Heaven and earth are also things; things have deficiencies, so in the past, Nüwa smelted five-colored stones to mend their gaps, cut the legs of the turtle to stand the four poles. Later, Gonggong contended with Zhuang Xu to be Emperor, in anger struck the Mountain of Not-So, breaking the heavenly pillar, severing the earth's supports, thus the heavens tilted to the northwest, the sun, moon, and stars converged there, the earth did not fill the southeast, hence all rivers flowed and pooled there.
