Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1100 The Door Opens
A large altar to the Void is undoubtedly necessary.

Even if An Jing can use his karma and the power to subdue evil to take a few people to other worlds, if there is no subduing evil, will the others not go to other worlds?
This is ultimately not a long-term solution. In the future, when all heavens and realms are interconnected, a huge interactive port and a stable void passage will be needed. This passage needs to be able to carry out massive resource exchange and trade, and even more importantly, it needs to accommodate the comings and goings of beings at the Celestial Venerable level.

If this cannot be achieved, it cannot be considered true interoperability.

Although An Jing was proficient in arrays, talismans, weapons, combat, true spirits, and magic, and even skilled in the creation of the Great Void due to his cave heaven, it was still a bit too much for him to design a passage that could allow the Heavenly Venerable to come and go.

Since that's the case, why not let the celestial beings do it themselves? After all, they're going to invest anyway, so why not let them invest in the modes of transportation they'll frequently use in the future?

This is easy.

The quickest to respond was indeed the current Dragon God, the Dragon God An Jing knew best. He smiled and said, "The light of the universe and the vastness of space are inherently one. Constructing the Grand Void Altar is merely a matter of lifting a finger for us. You have already paid the most exorbitant price: cause and effect itself."

However, before we prepare the altar, please explain to us in detail the specific circumstances of the Tianyuan Realm and the Great Wilderness Realm.

"In that case, I'll trouble you esteemed celestial beings. Let's go to our grotto-heaven to shield ourselves from prying eyes, and then we can discuss the other details of our cooperation."

An Jing smiled and, without any hesitation, went with the Celestial Venerables and Ancestors to the deepest part of the Bright Mirror Cave.

at the same time.

An Jing, along with You Ruhui, emerged from the light of the Jinyuantian Platform and descended upon Mingguang Peak.

"Senior Brother, you're back!"

Gu Yeqi, who had been waiting there, quickly came forward, her eyes full of joy. When she saw You Ruhui behind An Jing, she smiled and greeted her, "And Miss You too."

"Yes, I've been working outside for over a year, it's really exhausting."

The one conversing with the Celestial Venerables was actually An Jing's mirror image, while the one currently in the picture is An Jing's true form.

Of course, one could also say that the person in the mirror is the real body. The difference is not significant because, in reality, Anjing's true body is the cave heaven. The physical body and the person in the mirror are merely external terminals. One is responsible for going to work and attending meetings, while the other is responsible for resting after get off work. Essentially, it is no different from a dolphin switching between its left and right hemispheres for rest.

He swaggered into the main hall of Mingguang Peak and sat on the peak master's seat. Although in theory An Jing could sit on the sect master's seat at Mingjing Mountain, that chair was actually made of mirror jade, which was too cold and uncomfortable to sit on. As for the effect of "enlightening the mind and seeing one's true nature," it was a treasure for those with inner demons, but for An Jing, it was almost the same as not having it.

An Jing waved his hand casually, gesturing for everyone to sit down: "But we won't be able to rest for long. Yin Yuelan told me last time that there are specialized star maps and Taixu technology in the Northern Heaven Cave."

"With the Celestial Venerables' abilities, they should be able to build the Taixu Altar in just a few hours. Then, we can go to the Tianyuan Realm together."

"Speaking of which, Ye Qi, has that roc been brought back?"

"I brought it back." Gu Yeqi smiled helplessly and pointed outside the hall: "Don't keep bringing back strange little things from outside—Xiao Yu!"

With her call, a golden streak of light flashed, and a blonde little girl appeared in an instant: "Auntie—what did you call me for?"

Then, she saw An Jing, and her azure eyes lit up instantly. She stood up straight, raised her hands in a cheer like a bird spreading its wings: "Ah, it's King An!"

Gu Yeqi smiled and said, "That's it. I named her Jin Yu. She's been following me around lately, helping me clean up the remaining ghosts, spirits, and blood demons in the wilderness. She's done quite a bit of work."

"You learn transformation techniques pretty quickly."

An Jing watched this scene, and although she was slightly surprised by the title "little aunt", she thought about it again. Da Peng was born of nature and recognized herself as "King", so Gu Yeqi, who was of the same generation as her, was naturally "little aunt", which made sense.

He could only marvel at the wonder of the ethics of mythical beasts in his heart, then smiled at Jin Yu and said, "Very good, Jin Yu, I'll call you that from now on. Our Mingjing Sect is currently in dire need of rebuilding and is short of manpower. If you do a good job, you might just become an elder of our Mingguang Peak in the future!"

"That's what they say, but there's really nothing else to do."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yeqi helplessly spread his hands and said, "The puppet technology is difficult at the beginning. Ever since you brought back some of the Tianyuan Realm's technology, Senior Brother, the sect's True Monarch Puming has been researching puppet technology and Qianfeng's Kunyao technology... The old man has been immersed in the art of weapon forging for three thousand years, and his skills are extremely proficient. After the initial production and development period of puppets has passed, it has now reached the stage of exerting its full potential."

"Now, we basically don't have to do any of the simple tasks. The Blood Sea Evils have rarely invaded Chenli to begin with, and most of the local ghosts and gods are peaceful and harmless. My construction team and I are almost out of work now. All the work has been taken over by the puppets. Now, all we do every day is practice."

If outsiders heard this, they would probably be green with envy and faint with envy—no need to work, only to practice martial arts, with plenty of time to prepare for great things... What a wonderful life!

Moreover, Gu Yeqi was originally in charge of the sect's construction. How could her job be taken away when she was in charge of the puppets?

But this was just casual conversation between friends, and An Jing smiled and went along with her words, saying, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's quite painful to have nothing to do."

At this point, he snapped his fingers: "Speaking of which, I've also gained some new insights into cultivation. Some time ago, I was at the Dragon Palace and did some experiments with the sea creatures, which gave me some ideas. I'll tell you about them later, and then I'll write a few booklets and invite my fellow disciples to join me."

An Jing paused, his tone slightly solemn: "It's time to widely spread the Cave Heaven Technique."

"Isn't it a bit too early?"

Compared to Gu Yeqi, who only knew that this was some kind of good thing developed by An Jing, but did not quite understand the essence of the 'Cave Heaven Method' and merely nodded in agreement, You Ruhui couldn't help but speak up, her tone tinged with worry: "Our theory has only just been laid out, hasn't it?"

"If you wait until everything is ready before you do anything, it will definitely be too late."

An Jing, however, was completely unconcerned. He stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and looked through the hall at the thriving Mingjing Sect: "To tell you the truth, my clone in the mirror just now told all the Heavenly Venerables my whole plan and ultimate goal."

"The Ascension Path and the Cave Heaven Technique will not only spread within the Bright Mirror Sect in the future, but will also become the foundation of our Northern Frontier and even the entire New Alliance in the future."

"The earliest group of people to cultivate the Cave Heaven Method will undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention and the object of all resource allocation."

An Jing turned around and looked at his two companions and Da Peng: "With my personal guidance and the resources of the future Grand Alliance, the earlier you start cultivating, the better."

"Even if problems arise during cultivation, do you think problems that occur under the observation of the Heavenly Venerables can still be considered problems? Therefore, we must be early and be among the first batch."

"If you ask me, all those 'Children of Ascension' who were reborn from the Nirvana Tribulation in the entire Mingjing Sect should also cultivate the Cave Heaven Method. Only in this way can we usher in a new era!" An Jing was not a selfless person. For him, the Cave Heaven Method, which he considered a good thing, should definitely be shared with acquaintances first.

However, this preferential treatment cannot be described as unfair or unjust.

First of all, there must be some problems within the Cave Heaven Method. Although the Way of Heaven and Earth to Eat People is the most fundamental secret method, we must find a way to solve it in the future. In addition, many of the methods that work well for An Jing and You Ruhui also require others to adapt to.

An Jing himself and You Ruhui were the first batch of test subjects, the Sea Clan were the second batch, and the people of the Mingjing Sect were only the third batch—as explorers of the new path, those benefits were naturally necessary.

"Ultimately, any revolution is about selecting a group of pioneers, the vanguard at the forefront. If that's the case, why not choose the Chosen Ones, the Mirror Sect, or these chosen ones destined for ascension?"

Having said that, An Jing walked to the entrance of the main hall at the top of the mountain, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the city and fields under construction in the distance. His voice was calm: "To be honest, the reason I have fought and struggled all this way is not only because I really dislike Da Chen, Tian Mo, and some anthropomorphic things in this world, but also because I want to give those who love me, respect me, and follow me a better world."

"Since I have the power and opportunity, I can naturally accomplish this great task. I will achieve equality, but forcing uniformity is the greatest injustice."

“I didn’t say that.” You Ruhui paused for a moment, then smiled gently.

She stood up and walked with Gu Yeqi behind An Jing, saying softly, "Do whatever you want to do. I believe your decisions are correct."

"Of course, Senior Brother." Gu Yeqi smiled without hesitation, "Speaking of which, what about Aunt and Uncle? The Ascension Path can disregard fate to a certain extent, so it can also extend the lifespan of the two elders, right?"

"Of course."

An Jing knew that the aunt and uncle Gu Yeqi mentioned were her parents. This was one of the reasons why many people outside firmly believed that he was a 'Natural Master'.

An Jing initially entered the Suspended Life Manor to save his mother, and he had already planned for his parents' future: "If Jin Yu is alright, she can go and protect my parents. A divine bird that can move at the speed of light would be the best protector, but I don't know if Jin Yu would be willing."

"Small Enterprise is the same. I will pass on a portion of the imprint of creation from nothing to it, so that it can return to the world and grow freely. The laws of my inner cave are still too rudimentary. It's fine to guide it temporarily, but I'm not good at long-term cultivation."

As he said this, he looked at Jin Yu, who was standing ramrod straight to the side, and solemnly asked, "Are you willing to accept the mission?"

“Of course, Your Majesty!” The blonde girl immediately puffed out her chest and bowed tautly, “I guarantee I will complete the mission!”

“Actually, there’s no need to worry too much.” An Jing, who was only pretending, relaxed and laughed: “Besides you and Xiao Qi, there’s also Qing Han, Weng Yu Cui, and the Demonic Sect protecting us… Ha, the Demonic Sect, even though my attitude towards them has remained unchanged, they still stick to us like this. At least in their own theory, they completely follow it.”

At this point, An Jing shook his head, a hint of emotion in his voice: "The martial artist Huai Xu is indeed worthy of my respect in this respect..."

It was at this time.

Suddenly, an immense tremor of the void resounded from the depths of the Mirror Cave.

Meanwhile, in the Tianjian Mountains, in Tianjian Cloud City.

Inside an elegant and luxurious top-floor office of a chamber of commerce, a small, silver-white squirrel with a bushy tail is handing a document to a woman behind a desk.

"thanks."

The woman possessed a gentle demeanor, yet her eyes held a hint of authority; she was none other than An Jing's mother, Shen Mubai.

As the agent for trade between the Mingjing Sect and Dachen, Tianjian Yuncheng has become the most prosperous commercial center in the Northern Frontier under her management. Its main products are various puppets and evergreen wood specialties.

Recently, the Great Chen Dynasty has imported a massive amount of civilian and construction puppets. The Mingjing Sect has not blocked the technology. If these creations can truly transform the world and improve people's lives, they are happy to see it happen.

"Huh...why is my heart suddenly trembling?"

Just then, as if sensing something, Shen Mubai put down the documents in her hand and slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

At the same time, on the frontier of Chenli, in a quiet courtyard next to a small town in an academy city.

An Jing's father, An Qianshan, also came out of the courtyard. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Mingjing Sect, his eyes filled with doubt: "This feeling is a bit strange... Is it Jing'er?"

But soon, An Qianshan discovered that it wasn't just him.

It wasn't just the two of them.

Everyone in the Mingjing Sect, everyone in Chenli, everyone in Dachen, everyone in Beixuan Sacrifice Continent, and even all the powerful cultivators in the entire Huaixu World, clearly sensed it at this moment.

They all felt that something that had been hanging over their hearts, their bodies, their souls, their spirits, and their thoughts since ancient times had partially disappeared.

The closer one gets to the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent, the closer one gets to the Northern Frontier, and the closer one gets to the Bright Mirror Sect, the stronger this feeling becomes!
buzz-

It was in that very instant.

A deafening roar, like the rumble of the heavens and earth, resounded from the top of the sky above the northern border.

then.

A massive wave of energy emanated from the void, transforming into layers of concentric light blue ripples resembling ocean tides, spreading wildly in all directions from the Mingjing Sect as its center.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal abyss appeared in the sky directly above the Mingjing Sect!

One...leading to other worlds.

Huge abyss.
