Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 559: Destiny Branches, Everyone Chooses

boom!

Jing Yu's mind went blank, his eyes burst into a terrifying light, he turned his head and stared at Yuanji, finally unable to control his expression, even his physical body in the Golden Body Realm stiffened for a moment.

"and many more--"

"What was your name in your previous life?"

Yuanji said hesitantly, "My name in my previous life was Jing Yu."

"[Brain] of thorns, [rain] of snow."

"You...how did you die in your previous life?"

Yuanji smiled sheepishly, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Xuan Jing. In my previous life, I was bench-pressing in the gym and was crushed to death by a barbell... Oh, by the way, Xuan Jing was also born in a small planet, so he should know about barbells, right?"

"Maybe they don't know. After all, the development paths of each planetary world are different..."

Ding Ding Ding-

Jing Yu took several steps back. The huge impact made his hands tremble. He took a deep breath, his mind raced, and many of his original doubts were explained.

"parallel world?"

"Yuanji is another self in a parallel world?"

"No wonder... No wonder I felt a faint sense of familiarity the first time I laid eyes on him. The source of this familiarity was nothing else but seeing my former self!"

"But it was overlooked because it was dark under the lamp..."

From Yuanji's previous description, Jing Yu knew that there were actually subtle differences between the two worlds of [Earth] and [Blue Star], but the life trajectories of his previous life and Yuanji's previous life seemed to be exactly the same, and even the way he died in the end was exactly the same!

However, after the two were born in the Xianzhou world, due to different life experiences and the shaping of different environments, their personalities had actually diverged in different directions. When they met, they were both foundation-building cultivators, and dozens or hundreds of years of experience were enough to make them two completely different people.

Therefore, this faint sense of familiarity did not make them realize the connection between each other at the first time.

"No wonder Yun Xuance mistook Yuanji for himself from the Hall of Eternal Life..."

Jing Yu suddenly thought, "Perhaps this is because, compared to myself, Yuanji's personality is closer to Jing Yu's state in the Immortal Selection Hall?"

"I am the Taoist's plan, and my death is the Buddhist's plan? But why did it have to be this person [Jing Yu]?"

The heroic young man in a gray robe was puzzled:

"In my previous life, Yuanji and I were just ordinary office workers, nothing special. Why did the Taoists and Buddhists choose me?"

"Even in different parallel worlds, the fates they carry are different..."

Jing Yu vaguely felt that there must be a great secret in this, but his current level was too low to understand the mystery.

He calmed down, his expression returned to calm, and he whispered:

"Strange... Master Xuan Ce isn't a chosen immortal from the Cihang Palace, so how could she know your name in your previous life?"

Yuanji was also somewhat puzzled. "I really don't know... To be honest, there were only three Immortal Chosen from the same period in the Cihang Palace. The first one was reincarnated five hundred years before me. I am the second one, and the third one is still staying in the Immortal Chosen Palace... Calculating the time, he should be born into the Immortal Continent in seventy-three years."

"As for the other two contemporaries of the Immortal Selection Hall... for some reason, there is absolutely no way they can reveal my past life identity. Therefore, only [Pudu Buddha] knows my identity."

"Could it be that the Buddha accidentally let something slip when he was making his nest?"

Yuanji immediately shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, there is no point in dwelling on this matter. My past life was nothing special, so why should I be afraid of others knowing it?"

"My past life was only thirty years long. Compared to the years of this life, it is nothing but a dream."

Jing Yu looked hesitant and asked, "Master, what do you mean by that? Are your past life experiences no longer important to you?"

A faint Buddha light lingered on Yuanji's face. "Buddhism emphasizes the [next life]. For me, this life is the next life of my previous life. Now that I have prayed for the [next life], why should I dwell on the past?"

"My past life has become a delusion for my future self. Indulging in delusion is attachment. Only by letting go of attachment can I achieve the true fruit of cultivation."

Jing Yu couldn't help but ask, "Master, didn't your [Inner Demon Tribulation] during your Infant Formation contain scenes from your past life?"

The monk chuckled softly and said, "Gourmet delicacies, beautiful women and skeletons, mountains of gold and silver, the pursuit of immortality... but there are no images of past lives. Now that I've let go, where does the inner demon exist?"

"I am [Yuan Ji], not [Jing Yu]. I have almost forgotten all the experiences of my previous life."

Jing Yu was stunned and speechless, feeling mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

He and Yuanji had the same starting point, but made completely different choices on the road to [illuminating one's true self]. It was difficult for Jing Yu to judge which choice was right, or perhaps there was no right or wrong in choices.

The two of them turned into a beam of light and left the island. After flying forward for a while, they finally saw a huge and boundless island in the distance, which looked like a piece of land.

The rugged reefs surrounding the island form a giant mouth with jagged teeth, swallowing up the mighty waves.

The two sharp peaks on the north side that reach into the clouds are like the front feet touching the sea, and the mountain is covered with vertical gullies, like a turtle's claws.

Three parallel mountain ranges extend from the gentle slopes of the southern foothills, and the well-defined folds in the rock layers resemble the footsteps of a giant turtle.

Jing Yu looked at the island from afar and felt that it looked like a giant turtle carved from black jade, dormant in the vast ocean.

"This is [Fugui Island]!"

Yuanji praised, "It truly is a place rich in spiritual energy... The terrain of this island is naturally shaped like a crouching spirit turtle, subtly forming a natural formation that gathers spiritual energy from all over the place, thus forming such a precious place for cultivation. This island couldn't have been ownerless before. I wonder what great price True Lord Xuan Ce paid to make the original owner reluctantly give it up."

Jing Yu nodded slightly: "This place is very close to the Ye family's [Dragon Slaying Island]. I think the Ye family has put a lot of effort into this."

As his escape light approached Fugui Island, it encountered a faint white halo that blocked him out. Jing Yu shook the token in his hand, and the island protection formation suddenly opened up.

Yuanji flew to the island and landed on the top of the highest fairy mountain on the island. He sat cross-legged and said with a smile:

"Xuanjing, this place is considered to be the most spiritual place on the entire island, suitable to be the main peak of the sect... You might as well give it a name."

Jing Yu casually said, "Let's just call it [Fugui Mountain]."

"It's so boring."

Yuanji shook his head. "You have established a sect in the East China Sea. Although it is nominally a branch of the Xuan Ce Sect, True Lord Xuan Ce has given you great autonomy. You should pay attention to the name of this branch."

Jing Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm not very good at naming things, so I might as well just use the Taoist name to establish my sect, and call it [Xuanjing Xianmen]."

Yuanji curled his lips and said, "Fortunately, you are not interested in women. Otherwise, seeing your family spreading like this, there would be no need to establish any sect or lineage. I would just follow the local customs and establish a [Xuanjing Immortal Clan]!"
