Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1009 Super Real Person (23)

This is no ordinary Divine Treasure True Person; he is a super True Person who cultivates three paths simultaneously, ascends to heaven by stepping on his right foot with his left, and can even walk in the void!

Jin Yanhua was unaware of this, and upon hearing it, he still revealed a hint of regret: "The Nine Tribulations Ascension Method is extremely precious. If it could be used in the Manifestation Realm, its true value would be maximized."

"Using it now to enhance your Divine Treasury Realm is ultimately a bit of a waste for a genius like you."

Upon hearing this, An Jing smiled and said, "I don't actually need it."

"because……"

He slowly raised his hand, a thought forming in his mind.

In an instant, the boundless spiritual energy of earth and stone in the surrounding world, as well as the power of the [Seven Luminaries Star-Suppressing True Talisman] in his inner cave, responded simultaneously.

A miniature planetary world, composed of thick soil and gravel, quietly took shape in his palm.

On that planet, mountains rise majestically, the earth pulsates, and countless tiny, all-encompassing mythical beasts roam and roar, lifelike in their forms, including the Yellow Dragon, the Yazi, the Baxia, and the Divine Deer.

"The true meaning of heaven and earth!" Upon seeing this, Su Xinbai exclaimed in shock, "You killed the Earth Ancestral Spirit and actually comprehended the 'true meaning of heaven and earth' directly?!"

"Does this even need to be understood?"

An Jing was unconvinced. He lowered his eyes, looking at the heavy planet in his palm, then raised his head again, looking around the vast Zhaolin Realm as if it were his own business: "Isn't the greatest truth of the entire world always around us?"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his other hand.

This time, what responded to his will was the metal element of heaven and earth.

Another miniature planet appeared in his palm. This planet was made of dazzling metal, with towering buildings and countless robots and metal spirits of various shapes flowing around it, creating a mechanical world similar to Earth, yet completely different.

This is also the 'true meaning of heaven and earth,' but it belongs to the Tai Bai true meaning of metal.

He held in one hand the heavy, ancient world of earth, and in the other hand the cold, intricate world of metal.

Two completely different yet equally profound truths coexisted perfectly in his hands.

An Jing sighed softly, his tone almost wistful, yet sounding arrogant to outsiders: "If I had been born at the beginning of the Huai Xu era, this world would not be what it is today."

This seemingly arrogant statement left the three people present speechless, unsure of what to say.

It's not a question. It's just that believing in this matter itself is a little... indescribable.

However, You Ruhui quickly nodded seriously and said, "That's true. If you were in that era, you might not have needed the Ancestral Dragon to take action and could have dealt with those primordial divine beasts that were causing havoc on the world all by yourself."

"As for the demonic tribulations of later generations... if you were here, Huaixu would surely have an easier time."

"That's hard to say, since it's something from a long time ago, and I don't know exactly what happened."

An Jing remained modest: "I was just saying that if I had been in the same group as the Great Chen Ancestor back then, I would have beaten him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, and made him build such an imperial court that had merged with the Heavenly Demons!"

Even You Ruhui was at a loss for words—although the cooperation between the Great Chen Imperial Court and the Heavenly Demons was indeed a disgrace, she was indeed of imperial blood.

On the contrary, Jin Yanhua and Su Xinbai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is actually us Dragon Clan's ancestral land and the Heavenly Demon are using each other. I used to think that the Great Chen Holy Ancestor was a true hero, but now I see that he is nothing more than a villain."

At the same time, the earth-based true essence that An Jing released underwent another transformation. Because it had lost An Jing's control, the miniature planet slowly dissipated and reformed into the shape of the Kunyu Divine Deer. Even the giant staff made of metal and breathing soil in its hand also materialized.

However, although this divine deer was identical in form to the original, its eyes were empty and lifeless, lacking any spirituality.

"It...isn't dead?" Turning her head, You Ruhui was somewhat surprised to see this.

“For beings of this level, death is hard to call true ‘death’; it’s more like an ‘injury’.” An Jing shook his head and explained, “Even if they are devoured, transformed, or have their will completely obliterated by the Ancestral Dragon and turned into a ray of divine light, a part of the Dragon Qi, it’s still the same.”

He gazed at the Kunyu Divine Deer, which had been transformed from true intent and then reverted to its planetary form, and was filled with emotion: "These primordial beasts of the world, the 'laws' they left behind are so powerful that even their 'names' and 'descriptions' were recorded, and the mysteries and rhythms contained within them believed that they could be realized, could 'exist and continue,' and would eventually become reality."

“But compared to their original forms, isn’t what this true meaning has transformed into nothing more than dead ashes?” You Ruhui asked.

“Can’t ashes be alive and exist?” An Jing retorted, but then realized something because of this correct question: “So that’s how it is. If I die, the ‘laws’ and ‘will’ I leave behind will probably be strong enough to continue themselves, realize themselves, and eventually be reborn and transform into something similar to me again.”

"Is this the mystery of reincarnation and rebirth, the mystery of the womb?"

"Is this the origin of all 'divine beasts' and 'destiny'?"

"immortal……"

Anjing stood on the desert and gained some insight.

So that's how it is... So when the 'will' of an existence becomes strong enough, even if it dies, the information it leaves behind is enough to self-realize and be reborn under certain circumstances.

This is the mystery of the womb, the birth of divine beasts and destiny.

More than that……

The immortal achievements of the immortal path seem to be something similar—as long as a cultivator's entire lineage is severed and the sect is destroyed, that great cultivator will never truly die... It's the same principle.

"indeed."

Just as An Jing was deep in thought, Jin Yanhua also spoke up: "In fact, many geniuses who participated in the 'Banquet of Paying Homage to the Immortals' and survived have obtained the power of dragon blood from this secret realm to varying degrees."

"This does not mean that their bloodline has actually been modified. Rather, it is because after they killed the various dragon beasts in the secret realm, their powerful souls and wills carried and analyzed the 'information' and 'will' that were dissipated after the dragon beasts died."

Jin Yanhua looked into the distance, seemingly towards the outside of the Zhaolin Realm: "It's not just here. On the land of Huaixu Ten Continents, there are also beings who, at a certain point in time, suddenly 'revert to their ancestral state' and awaken the bloodline of ancient divine beasts."

"Of course, some of them are descendants of people whose ancestors truly had a connection with divine beasts, and whose bloodline has been passed down to this day, allowing them to revert to their ancestral origins. But in reality, in this world where most ancestral divine beasts have long since perished, the matter of 'obtaining bloodline' has little to do with 'reproduction' or 'bloodline' itself..."

"For example, at certain special times when they intersect with the earth's veins, or when a martial artist is wandering in a dream, or when experiencing illusions and inner demons while breaking through a key realm—they may encounter the shadows of ancient divine beasts that exist in the information of heaven and earth."

"If you can fight and subdue them, it will be equivalent to passing a trial, and naturally you will be able to inherit part of their bloodline."

"This is another form of existence besides 'Transformed True Spirit'—'Transformed Bloodline'. Humans don't understand it, so they call it 'intergenerational inheritance'. But we dragons know that many ancient and powerful divine beasts have never mated with humans, so how could they possibly have a true bloodline inherited to this day?"

An Jing listened attentively, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but ask a rather pointed question: "Wait, Sister Jin, everything else is fine, but I think this logic might be a bit flawed."

"I mean, really not?"
