Chapter 156: Chapter 147: Heaven of All Living Beings·Donghuang Bell

"Boom!"

The Celestial Derivation Volume in Ning Xunqiu’s hand suddenly ignited, imprinting a golden Great Sun on the cover.

He looked at the metamorphosed Celestial Derivation Volume.

"The Celestial Derivation Volume has... upgraded."

Ning Xunqiu studied it for a while but didn’t discover the new abilities of the Celestial Derivation Volume, then silently recited in his mind to extract the reward.

[Extracting reward...]

[Congratulations, you have received the Golden Life Achievement Reward—"Heaven of All Beings · Donghuang Bell"!]

[Heaven of All Beings · Donghuang Bell · Unique]

Donghuang Taiyi transformed into the Great Sun, illuminating the Eternal Night World, establishing the time order, creating the Era of Permanence, occupying ninety-nine percent of Heaven’s Great Fortune, evolved from Supreme Treasure.

One, Donghuang Bell suppresses fortune, maintains one’s "being" existence trace, ignores the devouring of "non-existence."

Two, ringing the bell can stabilize earth, fire, water, and wind, ringing the bell in any world forcibly occupies a piece of heaven and earth, activating the Dao Law of Time within.

Three, Heaven of All Beings can absorb the obsessions of sentient beings and is the prototype of "Celestial Dao."

Note:

A maximum of three strands of Magical Power can summon the name of "Donghuang Taiyi" to activate the Donghuang Bell three times.

East—In the east of the Eternal Night World, there is a great being shrouded in the red sun, named "East."

Huang—"East" unifies the Eternal Night World, revered as elder brother and emperor by all ancient gods and sentient beings.

Tai—"East" transforms into the Great Sun, illuminating the Eternal Night World, being the eternal sun.

Yi—"East" is the primal first being, the source of all things’ birth.

...

"Heaven of All Beings... Donghuang Bell!"

Ning Xunqiu’s heart moved.

Retrieving a strand of thought that jumped out of the Celestial Derivation Volume.

Suddenly!

A crow bearing the memories of tens of billions of years, surging like a vast ocean, assaulted him.

In just an instant, he seemed to be completely submerged by this flood of memories.

"Dang dang dang—"

Accompanied by the ancient and distant chime of the bell, a vast golden Great Sun descended into the Immortal Slaying Sword Map.

Simultaneously, that strand of thought transformed into a figure identical to "Ning Xunqiu," donned in the Emperor’s Robe, eyes revealing an overpowering dominance over all beings, reigning over the world.

He slowly stepped into the embrace of the golden Great Sun, where all clamor and turmoil became peaceful.

"Whew whew."

Ning Xunqiu was drenched in sweat, gasping for air, rubbing his still faintly aching and swelling head.

"Donghuang Taiyi’s memories are too chaotic and scattered... For now, I can only search for information like flipping through a dictionary."

The road to rewriting life is exceedingly long, which isn’t necessarily a good thing.

When they attain enlightenment, it spans over millennia, even tens of billions of years, which for the mere few hundred-year-old Ning Xunqiu, is indeed unfriendly.

Fortunately.

Since it’s a reincarnation of a strand of thought, Magical Power sharing the same root and origin, he retrieves the thought, easily activating the Donghuang Bell using this strand of thought.

Donghuang Taiyi’s three strands of Magical Power, plus the strand obtained last time from the red life in the Dongyang Realm, now equates to "four" attained Taiyi Dao Fruit avatars activating the Immortal Slaying Sword Map.

Ning Xunqiu sat in meditation.

Seven days passed.

He opened his eyes, flipping to the last section of "Qingxu Realm Life."

[This "Purple Divine Thunder" is directly locked onto me, even Master Liuli’s Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy cannot isolate it.]

[Before dying, I activated the Silent World’s "Sword of Despair" to perish together with the true form of "Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable."]

[The Silent World in Qingxu Realm spreads like a plague, the Western Heaven and Nether Heaven reveal their true forms to stop it.]

[The last scene in my eyes was a massive breach in the sky...]

[The chaos-colored aura surged into the world like a flood.]

...

Ning Xunqiu contemplated how to rewrite life.

Even Cangtian’s Purple Divine Thunder can disregard the Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy, is evidently a "locking skill," likely related to the karma, fortune, and calamity he bore back then.

After all, the Loose Cultivator Ancestor was purely a poser.

Had not the Immortal Slaying Sword Map been protecting the Dao, being struck dead by a thunder upon stepping out wouldn’t be surprising.

Of course, primarily the Loose Cultivator Ancestor had his consciousness, thinking that this was merely a future derived from the Celestial Derivation Volume, so he acted recklessly, indifferent to the sacrifices of beings.

Hard approach?

This leads to a fate of perishing together with Qingxu Realm...

Ning Xunqiu doesn’t want a third time.

Moreover, he is an Innate Divine·Martial Master, his foundation for attaining the Dao lies in Qingxu Realm.

He does not truly wish to perish together with "Qingxu Realm."

Yet those "Divine Sacred Path" would not offer a chance for dialogue to such a minor character.

Having witnessed so many lives, Ning Xunqiu profoundly understands the mindset of "Divine Sacred Path."

Summarized in one sentence: "Destroying you, what concern is it to me."

Evidently, without transcendence, with a steadfast Dao Heart, the "Divine Sacred Path" wouldn’t care how a "being without a future" struggles, even if you eloquently speak flowers into existence, arguing the dead into the living, they wouldn’t listen.

Directly choosing to ignore.

Moreover, Ning Xunqiu himself, having spent a long time in the Celestial Derivation Life, his mindset similarly became such, acting according to his heart’s desires, without regard for beings’ wishes.

Summarized in one sentence: "Saving you, what concern is it to me."

Modo Realm·Chaos Consciousness, Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor·Li Yanzhi, Wings of Freedom·Ethereum, and Donghuang Taiyi are all similar, preserving only the most precious parts of their memories.

As for the rest... leaving it to fate.

Only now, with "Ning Xunqiu" untainted by time, still harbors a hint of "remorse" in his heart.

After considering this and that, he discovered that only the Dragon Race "Ying Long" barely maintains communication.

However, the dragon race’s style is more...

"Damn!"

Ning Xunqiu cursed inwardly.

Forget it.

Anyway, it’s only one life, just have to tough it out a bit more, first follow the "Ying Long" route, gather more information then talk.

He picked up the pen and wrote.

[After I attain Dao, I establish the "Purple Sky Immortal Island" Dao lineage, becoming the Loose Cultivator Ancestor, secretly allying with the dragon race’s "Ying Long." Together we oppose the Three Saints of Divine Land.]

[Would you like to use 100 points of fortune to rewrite this part of your life?]

"100 points of fortune? It’s increased this much... I seem to be short on fortune."

Ning Xunqiu was stunned, then he glanced at his fortune.

[Fortune: 27/448]

He then tested and found that in "Qingxu Realm," no matter how he altered his life, even if it’s just adjusting a punctuation mark, it requires a minimum of 100 points of fortune.

Ning Xunqiu was not surprised by this development.

The last time his fortune increased was when he became a "Qi Cultivator," revealing Soldier Master prowess, and his fortune increased by nine points at once.

Actually, since the day he extracted and embodied "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," possessing the mighty power capable of suppressing "Great Dao Divine," it had already been the biggest variable of "Qingxu Realm."

Only then perhaps the Celestial Dao did not immediately react, allowing him to rewrite life one more time.

"Eighty years until the next opportunity to rewrite life..."

The bulk of Ning Xunqiu’s fortune comes from the "Martial Dao" and "Loose Cultivator Ancestor" Dao lineage.

The rest trickles in from "Cyan Mountain Dao Lineage," with no fortune earned from several Golden Life events.

Using Celestial Derivation Volume to infer celestial secret, because he has not actively changed reality, the death tribulation four thousand years later remains the same, only the required fortune is halved.

Temporarily safe.

He still has at least forty opportunities to rewrite life.

Ning Xunqiu felt slightly relieved, exited the pass, returned to Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, intending to pluck some wool from the Three Immortals of Jade Sky over eighty years, to perfect Cyan Mountain.

He first returned to Zi Xia Courtyard, just about to greet his junior sister Gao Fei Xue, sensed a familial bond with his junior sister.

He opened his "Primordial Spirit Eye Acupoint" and saw that a little life was being nurtured in junior sister Gao Fei Xue’s belly, he was shocked.

Daughter Ning Yu.

...

Ning Xunqiu happily summoned Yiya, Ah Qing, Dongfang Mingyue, Baiyun, Qingfeng, and the Red Flame Army for a grand banquet.

After the banquet.

He stayed by Gao Fei Xue’s side, hardly separating from her.

During this time, he enlightened several subordinates for "Ginseng Doll Yiya" to manage the herb garden.

Ning Xunqiu, beside Zi Xia Courtyard, didn’t delve into deep-level cultivation, but rather began to organize himself, practicing some punches and kicks, creating a few "simple" martial arts, as if returning to the initial times spent with junior sister Gao Fei Xue.

At night, he would study the "One thought" of Donghuang Taiyi familiarizing himself with the later stages of cultivation.

Occasionally, researching "Heaven of All Beings · Donghuang Bell."

Days were fulfilling.

As Gao Fei Xue’s belly grew bigger and bigger.

One day.

"Dong——"

Ning Xunqiu felt his heart and spirit stirring.

Intermittent sounds came from the "Donghuang Bell."

[The great presence that overturns the earth, rends the sky, bathes in the blood rain, and destroys all things...]

[I need your help...]

[I sacrifice "Fire Ghost Head," "Evil Ghost Limbs," "Tiger Demon Heart," "Blood of Eight Hundred Pure Yang Creatures"... sacrifice all...]

[Great ’Qiu,’ I pray for your arrival here...]

...

"There really is a weirdo in all heavens and myriad realms wanting to summon ’World-Ending Great Demon: Qiu’..."

Ning Xunqiu was stunned, remained vigilant within, did not immediately respond.

This might also be a trap by the Otherworldly Divine, after all, he isn’t the Ancestral Dragon, not recklessly slaughtering.

If he descended, at most it’s just one thought. Without "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," "Donghuang Bell," "Divine Weapon Flame Sparrow," and other supreme treasures, he’d be like a blank slate, at best possessing ordinary "Seventh Realm Divine Person" strength.

Annihilation? Hasn’t been beaten.

The next day.

The praying voice came again.

[The great presence that overturns the earth, rends the sky, bathes in the blood rain, and destroys all things...]

Ning Xunqiu ignored it, continued to accompany junior sister Gao Fei Xue.

This continued for seven days, the prayers relentless.

[The great presence that overturns the earth, rends the sky, bathes in the blood rain, and destroys all things...]

[I am willing to sacrifice "soul" and "true name" in exchange for your arrival...]

Wisps and strands of thoughts gathered in "Donghuang Bell," inside was a person’s information.

Ning Xunqiu was moved, checked the thoughts.

Black Qilin Sect.

Ji Jun.

Muscle Training, Bone Forging, Training the Internal Organs, Washing Marrow, Blood Exchange, Innate, Martial Saint.

Ning Xunqiu suddenly felt tempted.

A new world.

Moreover, it doesn’t require permanent fortune to rewrite life.

After all, who doesn’t like a freebie?

...
