Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1113 Refining a Piece (15)

The storm was howling.

Centered on Ping An Company, the entire Chonggang Town and even the entire safe zone west of Xuan Ye City were thrown into chaos.

Vast and mighty, thousands of miles of flowing clouds converged from all directions, churning and surging, before flowing into the top of the spire.

Beyond the heavens, the Celestial Venerable lowered his gaze. Within the Celestial Origin Realm, the Celestial Lords and True Lords were utterly shocked. Several acquaintances familiar with An Jing wanted to go and protect him, but were stopped by the Celestial Venerables through telepathic communication.

[No need to interfere] The Four Sages transmitted their voices from beyond the heavens, their tone tinged with expectation: [Adjust the spiritual network, channel the surrounding spiritual energy, and make the spiritual energy more concentrated.]

Apart from that, let everything unfold naturally...

Although An Jing did not participate in the subsequent Heavenly Venerable meeting, both the Heavenly Venerables of Huaixu and the Four Saints of Tianyuan knew that this was not because An Jing was unimportant, but because the Heavenly Venerable meeting was not that important—An Jing had his own tasks to do, and all they could do was assist.

Now, it is obvious that An Jing's mission has arrived. He will need to understand something, accomplish something, achieve something, and do something important.

Therefore, the eleven celestial deities all stand in the heavens, looking down upon the human world.

This time, their gazes were no longer indifferent, no longer calm.

Instead, it held a sense of anticipation, a burning passion...

wait.

And in contrast to that.

In the tranquil divine sea, everything was perfectly peaceful.

Including An Jing himself.

Even when facing the Daoist spirit residing within the cultivation technique of Xuan Tianji, he remained remarkably calm.

[What if it were my past, weaker self?]

An Jing thought to himself.

If he were still as weak as he was back in the Suspended Life Manor, facing Dao Ling, who was clearly corrupted and used by the Heavenly Demon, yet still spouted nonsense like "this is the only way to exorcise demons."

Without a doubt, he will be 'angry'.

Because anger is powerlessness, because anger is unsolvable. Anger is an answer without an answer.

Unable to find the right path, they chose anger, and then resistance.

At the Suspended Life Manor, when facing the Deputy Medicine Envoy, An Jing had nothing but anger. And when facing those who genuinely followed the Demonic Sect, An Jing was powerless to change them, so he could only feel anger.

But now... he has the power to change things.

It's not that he wouldn't be angry if he encountered something that should make him angry, because he could change it, but at least he could choose to be calm.

Solve more problems with more effective methods.

Just like it is now.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." An Jing raised his hand to the manifested Xuan Tian Dao Spirit, his voice calm but containing an unyielding will: "Dao Spirit, I command you to tell the whole truth."

His divine soul hung high above the sea of ​​gods, now displaying its radiance, like an eternally blazing sun. Within the sun, seven lights shone, with yin and yang representing heaven and earth, and five colors representing the east, west, south, north, and center, reflecting a small world.

The Five Emperors Method generally places the Yellow Emperor at the center, suppressing the four directions and commanding them. However, An Jing is not the Yellow Emperor. Although he practices various methods, his essence is the Tai Bai Divine Edge. Naturally, he reveres Tai Bai and occupies the center, illuminating all directions!
The White Emperor reigns supreme, his sharp edge dominating the world!
At this moment, An Jing's will transformed into the Heavenly Emperor's Edge, which unified the might of the Five Emperors, condensing into an extremely dazzling sword light, pointing directly at Dao Ling's forehead.
If the Dao spirit doesn't answer, it doesn't matter. He will search the soul himself to find out; it will just take some effort.

Faced with Anjing's decree and will, Daoling was unwilling to obey and wanted to resist, but in the end, he was just a fragment of will. The tentacles that the true Daoling had differentiated from him, and the means he wanted to use to resist Anjing, were completely like throwing an egg against a rock.

Wherever the sword light touched, everything crumbled instantly.

Dao Ling's figure was instantly pierced and shattered, turning into a cloud of mist composed of countless firefly-like points of light, countless runes, and fleeting faces.

And Anjing grasped at the air.

Instantly, the dissipated Dao spirit mist was forcibly reassembled by an invisible force, and once again condensed into a misty humanoid shape without a specific face.

This time, however, the moment the misty humanoid figure appeared, it bowed deeply to An Jing.

An Jing nodded with satisfaction: "Even if the Xuan Tian priest himself came, he would have to toast me. You, a mere Dao Spirit, actually dare to resist."

“Now,” he commanded calmly, “tell me why Xuan Tianji created you.”

This confrontation seemed unremarkable; it was merely that An Jing had refined the Dao Spirit in one go.

But in reality, anyone who knows what An Jing did would gasp in shock and exclaim how outrageous it is after seeing this scene.

This means that An Jing broke through the outer barrier of the Dao Spirit's laws in an instant, directly probing into its core Dao essence, and completely cleared its aggression and independent will without damaging any of its memories, formatting it and restoring it to its purest, initial form, which only executes commands.

Even Fu Xie was stunned for a moment, exclaiming in An Jing's mind, "An Jing, your move has already mastered the three arts of talismans, arrays, and weapons—you are already a grandmaster of arrays and weapons, but this talisman..."

“Yes.” An Jing nodded slightly, responding in his heart: “I just read through the Yan Emperor’s Law and gained some insights. The essence of this Dao Spirit is attached to the Emperor’s Book recorded on the leaves of the Undying Tree. Since I possess the Emperor’s Book, I can activate this Dao Spirit for my own use, just like activating a talisman.”

"Although it thinks it has become independent, giving it a chance to speak up in front of me is a kind of kindness."

"Unfortunately, it was unwilling."

An Jing shook his head, while Fu Xie sighed, but with a smile: "People who study the Dharma often get stuck on the methods and tools, but you see straight to the essence and apply it at will... Although you have shown this quality in the past, how could anyone imagine that you can even apply the Taoist scriptures so flexibly!"

At this point, Fu Xie couldn't help but exclaim, "A genius as monstrous as you, now that you've obtained the Five Emperors' Technique, is truly like a tiger with wings!"

"Hey, I'd really like to see what you look like when you have all four of your immortal skills!"

"Not far."

An Jing smiled upon hearing this, and calmly said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Now that things have come to this, I can actually comprehend the immortal path of 'Spiritual Path,' but I haven't yet figured out its most fundamental essence, so I'll just put it aside for now."

If this were to get out, it would probably be even more unbelievable than the fact that he single-handedly refined the Dao Spirit.

Because ordinary people receive a glimmer of inspiration, then turn it into reality, and gradually perfect their immortal work.

But according to An Jing, he had not only grasped the inspiration long ago, but was even close to perfecting it. However, just because it was not yet 'perfect', he would rather not break through?
What else can we say but wait and see?
