Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1318 The Mystery of Transcendence
In response to Zhong Hu's question, Chu Sheng was quite decisive. He slowly extended his hand from his sleeve, spread his five fingers, and a bright light of interwoven colors appeared.

Fragments of the Other Shore.

Unlike those held by other Dao Lords, the one in the hands of the First Saint had been partially repaired. Of course, this alone was not enough to awaken the Ancestral Dragon.

It still needs a little help.

The next second, the mystery from [Time] took effect on this fragment of [Other Shore], causing a change to appear in the Ancestral Dragon's sea of ​​consciousness that carried it.

In a mere breath, this shattered Ancestral Dragon's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have undergone thousands of years of evolution, until, amidst the endless chaotic thoughts, a swaying light slowly appeared, then took shape, and finally transformed into a golden-robed youth with an eerie appearance and a face full of grief and indignation.

"The First Saint!!"

The young man grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, exuding a sinister aura, and his anger was so intense that one could truly feel its heat.

It was indeed the First Emperor.

Of course, to be precise, this is just a future shadow of the Ancestral Dragon, containing only the Ancestral Dragon's consciousness, without any great power or status.

This is also the limit of [time].

Otherwise, why would he need to wait 84,000 years? He could have simply used [Time] to accelerate the process and resurrected the Ancestral Dragon directly.

"Just meeting once should be enough, right?"

The First Saint looked at Zhong Hu with great interest, and was also curious as to why this innate Dao God who symbolized the end of the calamity insisted on meeting with the Ancestral Dragon.
The next second, Zhong Hu spoke:

"You're really making a lot of noise about your defeat."

"."

Upon hearing this, Zulong, who had been cursing the First Saint, immediately shut his mouth. Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the young Taoist who was the incarnation of Zhonghu.

"It's you?"

Zulong seemed to recognize Zhonghu, but quickly sensed something was wrong. He then looked at Chusheng with a cold smile: "Wait, aren't you the same person you were back then who has been enlightened again? Interestingly, Chusheng, is this your doing? Have you been forced to this point?"

"Hahaha!"

Finally, Zu Long seemed to have vented his anger and suddenly burst into laughter: "Whoever it was, well done! It's a pity I didn't kill you!"

"I already told you that."

"The first variable was you, yet you insisted on seeking the constant, which was a dead end. And look what happened! It seems my words have come true!"

The First Sage, however, paid no attention to these words.

More concerned than Zu Long's taunts was something else: 'He's been enlightened again. Was Zhong Hu already enlightened once in the ancient era?'

This was information he was unaware of.

Just then, Zhong Hu suddenly spoke up: "You're a born Dao God, yet you go to seek proof of the Great Dao instead. Ancestral Dragon, you've truly fallen."

"You know nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Zu Long replied without hesitation: "Without proving the Great Dao, how can I transcend? Am I just to obediently wait for the [Origin] to evolve into the [Final Calamity]?"

There is great terror between life and death.

Throughout history, nothing has ever been eternal. Even if one embarks on the path of cultivation and has an infinite lifespan, it can only be said that one lives as long as the heavens.

Because even heaven and earth will be destroyed.

The Sea of ​​Light will eventually face its final calamity. When that time comes, how can any egg remain intact when the nest is overturned? No matter how long one's lifespan may be, one will still have to face destruction along with the rest of the world.

"Besides, what right do you have to talk about me?"

Zulong sneered: "The principle of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness, the creation and destruction of all things, when the sea of ​​light was born, I appeared with it, and when the sea of ​​light was destroyed, you were born in response."

"If everything follows the natural order, I, as the [Origin], can at least live for a long time, but what about you, as the [Final Calamity]? You short-lived ghost, you can only be majestic for a moment when the sea of ​​light is extinguished, and then you will die and become nourishment for the next cycle of reincarnation."

"You were ignorant and fearless before, but what about now?"

"Having been born with spirituality, are you willing to accept this ending?" Zhonghu did not answer.

After all, if he were willing, he wouldn't be standing here; he would have refused the First Sage's invitation without a word and accepted his destined demise.

However, as is widely known—

"Within the sea of ​​light, everything has a glimmer of hope."

The Ancestral Dragon spoke in a low, melancholic tone. As a born Dao God, it was always arrogant and considered itself the best. Only when it spoke these words did it show any reverence.

"That immortal treated us all the same."

"That's why I was able to attain the Five Elements and find a way to transcend. It's hateful that if it weren't for the First Sage's design, I would already be in a state of blissful tranquility right now!"

At this point, Zulong glared fiercely at Chusheng again.

Upon seeing this, Chu Sheng tilted his head innocently and said, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. The one who attacked you that day was Si Chong, it had nothing to do with me."

"You fart!"

Zu Long didn't resemble a born god at all; instead, he looked like a street ruffian, cursing, "It was definitely you, you bastard, who plotted against me!"

"If it weren't for that, I, as the ruler of the [Primordial], would be far superior to you in rank. How could I have been surrounded and killed by you? Even Si Chong, in my prime, would have been a one-hit kill for me. But as time has passed, I don't know why, I've become weaker and weaker, and it now takes me a hundred moves to defeat Si Chong."

Just then, Zhong Hu spoke:

"This is the method of the Confucian school."

"The First Saint, Taiyi Tian, ​​this name itself is usurping your [Original] image. This person has been scheming against you for a long time."

"And yet you can't do anything about him."

"So it seems you really don't remember that person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Hu seemed to have lost all interest in Zu Long. He immediately waved his sleeve and dispersed the future shadow that the First Saint had condensed.

Upon seeing this, the First Saint raised an eyebrow slightly:

“Interesting. I said before that the Ancestral Dragon doesn’t remember that immortal. It seems that you made nice promises back then, but you didn’t actually believe me.”

"It shouldn't have been forgotten."

Zhong Hu didn't hide anything and calmly said, "At least as far as I know, it was almost entirely raised by Jun when it was still in its gestation stage."

"This is transcendence."

At this point, the First Sage stared intently at Zhong Hu, his voice low and somber: "True transcendence is severing cause and effect, isolating oneself from the mundane world, and is completely escaping the prison of the Void. If there are still people in this world who remember him, or records related to him, then what kind of transcendence is that?"

“But I remember.” Zhong Hu raised his eyes.

"yes."

The first sage's voice grew increasingly heavy.

This is the most unbelievable thing to him so far: why does Zhong Hu remember, and even know, the name of that Nascent Soul cultivator?

【all】.

This is a name he couldn't find in either the traditions of the School of Names or the School of Physiognomy, indicating that even in ancient times, the corresponding information had been lost.

However, Zhong Hu knew this.

Is it because he is the most special one, being the one facing the "final tribulation"?

Or is it because—that Nascent Soul cultivator, the first in the history of the Sea of ​​Light to transcend—there is another mystery?
