“Amitabha Buddha, after all, no one wants to succeed in painstakingly asking for a heart and then be forcibly taken into captivity by Master Chen, it would be a lie to say that one is not worried!”
Master Empty Sky said calmly, “As for whether they are the same person, now that the arrow is on the string, is there any point in dwelling on whether they are the same person?”
“Of course there is.”
Chen Daojun’s gaze slanted towards Master Empty, “If it is the same person, then there is only one person standing behind Dong’er, behind the human race, but if it is not the same person, then that means there is one more, and that will add a few more points to Dong’er’s success rate of stepping into the sky.”
Master Empty Sky’s eyes lit up with an instant reaction.
It was true that Chen Daojun had created the “Pan Gu Plan”, which had resulted in the current Chen Dong, but from the beginning to the end, there had been others who were secretly involved.
On the surface, it was Chen Daogun who was in charge of the whole “Pan Gu Project”, but in reality, there was a big hand in the dark, controlling the direction.
Even Chen Daojun only discovered this hand now, and he had no power to intervene in the matter of Chen Dong becoming a demon.
In other words, that person was still above Chen Daogun!
With Chen Daogun’s strength, who else under the universal sky could be above him?
If there really was such an existence, and if there was more than one, it would ultimately be a great blessing for Chen Dongda Tian!
If the person behind the door was not the same person as the one who had caused Chen Dong to become a demon, then it would mean that there were at least two people far superior to Chen Daogun who were secretly running the show on this journey to the heavens, not to say completely escorting Chen Dong, but at least more secure than Chen Dong shaking the heavens alone.
“I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced ……”
“It is clearly my enlightened dao, it is clearly my heart that is asked, why is it that Chen Dong has been given a dowry for nothing?”
“Thousands of years of vomiting accumulation, thief God, how do you take it away by force?”
……
Cui Wendao’s body was trembling with rage and stifled anger, causing his sanity to quickly disappear.
But he could not control the power draining from his body, like a piece of fish on a chopping board, left to the slaughter, unable to do anything else but rage and curse to vent his injustice.
On the other hand, Gu Cangyue, the black-robed Heavenly Wolf and Zhang Chunqiu on the road to heaven were looking at Cui Wendao, trembling with fear and trembling in their hearts.
Just as Chen Daojun had said, after seeing with their own eyes that Cui Wendao had been forcibly taken into captivity, a thick shadow had fallen over the hearts of all three, and they had begun to doubt this process of asking for the heart.
If they had asked for their hearts and succeeded, would they still have been forcibly abducted?
Unlike Jiang Qilin and Jiang Liuji, they were ready to die on the Heavenly Road, so they could be reckless, and everything was done only on the principle of preserving Chen Dong.
They set foot on the Heavenly Road because they wanted to step on the Heavenly Knocking Gate and complete their dimensional advancement.
If, after really asking for their hearts, they would be forcibly taken into captivity and passed on to Chen Dong, what difference would it make with giving Chen Dong a dowry?
Before this, they all thought that the Stepping on the Heavenly Road was a battle of the Great Dao and the winner was king.
But now it seemed that it wasn’t like that at all!
“Gu Cang Yue, what should we do now?”
The black-robed Heavenly Wolf could not help but ask about Gu Cangyue.
“You, an existence that has lived for several thousand years, asking me at this time?” Gu Cang Yue was somewhat irritated.
“Your Gu family has been passed down from the ancient times, and you are carrying a great cauldron, do you not have a single knowledge of everything on this heavenly path?”
The black-robed Heavenly Wolf was somewhat helpless.
“I don’t know!”
Gu Cang Yue responded indignantly, suddenly his words turned, “However, I have the Great Cauldron in existence, since this heavenly path has been stepped up, there is no turning back, when I really ask for my heart, if I also succeed, but want to forcefully take my path, I will use the Great Cauldron to die together, if I don’t eat according to the rules, then I will f*cking lift this table!”
The words were as domineering as they could be.
This was the bottom line given to him by the big tripod in his arms.
When there was the backbone to lift the table, even in a difficult situation, he had the power to make the final move. Having thought of this, the shadow that lingered in Gu Cangyue’s heart also dispersed.
He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth.
He no longer even bothered about the captive Cui Wendao, but directly lifted his feet and took a step.
The situation was already like this.
It would be useless to stop any longer.
As long as we are on the road to heaven, the inquiring mind will come sooner or later.
Now that we are ready to set the table, moving forward is the order of the day!
“Since we’re going to lift the table, let’s lift the table together!”
The black-robed Heavenly Wolf gritted his teeth and said, likewise following in Gu Cangyue’s footsteps.
And on the other side.
Zhang Chunqiu remained in place.
Unlike Gu Cang Yue and the black-robed Heavenly Wolf, he still had his cards in his hand after travelling on the Heavenly Road until now.
He was the same as Cui Wendou, who had already used all his strength to get this far, and had to be careful with every step he took from there.
If, in the process of moving forward, Inquiring Heart suddenly descended, it would be a cataclysmic event for him.
Staying where he was and waiting for the heart of questioning to descend was the safest thing to do.
He had no intention of retreating at all, although he too had the shadow of being taken captive.
“It would be a shame to turn back after waiting for thousands of years and having come this far.”
Holding the duster in his hand, Zhang Chunqiu’s gaze swept past the four ancient swords and looked towards the lofty and towering Heavenly Gate in the ninth heaven, his eyes revealing anticipation and fervour, “Immeasurable Heavenly Father, Ancestors of the Daoist Monarch, please also bless my disciple and be able to knock on the gate successfully!”
It was a prayer and a hope.
This seems to be the only thing everyone, when facing a desperate situation, can and likes to do.
Buzz Rumble ……
Suddenly, the four ancient swords that surrounded Zhang Chunqiu’s body trembled in unison.
The swords chirped more than once.
The swords trembled.
The sword qi that stirred out, even more so, lost its harshness in an instant and became disorganised, rushing in all directions.
Zhang Chunqiu’s mouth and nose let out a startled eek.
“Descending?”
He couldn’t help but straighten his back and narrow his eyes slightly, ready to meet it.
But in the twinkling of an eye.
The four ancient swords returned to their original state at the same time, turning back into regular tremors, while the disordered sword qi, too, became harsh again.
Zhang Chunqiu froze for a moment, somewhat stunned.
At the same time.
In the Heavenless Realm.
Chen Dong’s entire body was in a half-real, half-illusory state.
A constant stream of golden light of talent followed the golden pillar of light and poured into his brow.
The sound of thousands of readings kept repeating in his mind.
The voice was loud and righteous.
It was clear that he was reading some poetry, but it was interspersed with a vast aura of righteousness and contained an extremely terrifying power.
He did not curb the absorption of the golden light of talent that was pouring in.
In fact, in his current state, he could not control it at all, and was in roughly the same state as even Cui Wendou.
The golden light of talent was purely a golden pillar of light forcibly poured into his body.
If there was the only difference between him and Cui Wendao, it was that one was frantically cathartic in its output and the other was frantically absorbing it.
And as the sound of reading in his head grew louder and louder, the hao qi became more and more majestic.
Faintly, Chen Dong’s mind, in turn, was being tempered by this Hao Rang Qi ……
This change, even when Chen Dong was in a disorienting state of illusion and reality, could be perceived.
And he could feel that after this quenching of his mind, a slight change in his mind state, all from within, also affected his physical body with subtle changes ……
