Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 79 A Story
Command the sky.
These two words were written on the black basalt in an unknown mysterious script.
Lu Qingshan raised his head and observed the ancient temple in front of him.
The ancient temple is silent and deserted, and not at all magnificent.
The basalt at the entrance is covered with thick dust, which makes people feel the hazy passage of time and the passing of years, giving a sense of antiquity.
The two words "Chi Tian" on the basalt made Lu Qingshan's heart tighten.
He didn't know the meaning behind the two words "Chi Tian".
But what made Lu Qingshan extremely concerned was that after his green snake creature changed, a strange-shaped totem character suddenly appeared on its forehead, shining brightly.
At that time, he did not understand the meaning of this totemic text.
Now, comparing it with the basalt stele in front of him, Lu Qingshan finally understood the meaning of the totem.
"Edict!"
The totem that appeared on the green snake's forehead was exactly the same as the first half of the text on the basalt stele, which was the word "Chi".
In the secular world, edict represents the supreme imperial power.
The so-called imperial decree from heaven is the emperor's order.
Because the emperor is heaven.
But in the world of cultivation, imperial power is nothing more than a cup of yellow earth, insignificant.
The cultivator's command to heaven refers to the way of heaven.
Things related to "Chi Tian" have extraordinary auras that make people wonder.
At this time, the distance between Lu Qingshan and the ancient temple was less than ten feet.
He could clearly feel an inexplicable aura coming from the temple and reaching the depths of his sea of consciousness, making the green snake cheer for joy.
Majestic, mysterious, intimate and powerful.
The source of the fluctuations sensed by the green snake creature came from within the ancient temple.
From this point of view, this ancient temple must carry a lot and is quite extraordinary.
But at first glance, this ancient temple seemed dilapidated, without any majestic aura, and had nothing to do with "Chitian" in any way.
Lu Qingshan stood in front of the basalt, at the entrance of the temple, and was silent for a long time.
"How can there be such an ancient temple?"
"Chitian, is this the name of this ancient temple?" Mo Yan murmured.
Just as the two of them stopped at the temple gate, a faint sound of chimes suddenly came from the temple, like a sound from the sky.
At first, the sound of the chimes was only faintly discernible, but later on, it gradually grew stronger, lingering throughout the entire temple, like the sound of a Huangzhong or a Dalu, solemn, grand, sublime, and mysterious.
The content of the syllables gradually became clear.
That was a phrase that kept repeating.
"The command of heaven is based on time and opportunity."
"The decree of heaven is only for a few seconds..." Lu Qingshan whispered to himself, thinking deeply.
There was a gleam of light in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and headed straight for the ancient temple.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Lu Qingshan pushed open the door of the ancient temple and instantly disappeared into it.
Mo Yan walked with him and followed closely into the ancient temple.
The ancient temple is very large, but it is only relatively large compared to other temples.
If we really calculate the absolute value, it is not big, let alone grand.
So as soon as he entered the temple, Lu Qingshan could take in the entire scene in the hall at a glance.
This ancient temple has definitely not been visited by anyone for many years, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.
Looking around, in the center of the temple, there is an altar made of bluestone.
The altar was majestic, emitting a hazy green halo and a soft light.
On the altar, there is an ancient, crystal-clear five-colored jade stele, which is majestic, mysterious, full of the vicissitudes of time, and exudes an inexplicable aura.
Apart from this, there is nothing else in the entire temple.
Mo Yan looked around, secretly alert.
But Lu Qingshan on the side had already taken a step and walked straight towards the altar.
The moment he moved, the entire ancient temple began to shake, and then, the huge sound of the chimes resounded through the sky.
"The command of heaven is based on time and opportunity."
Solemn, sublime, and mysterious.
At this moment, the altar emits a soft glow.
Such a strange sight did not stop Lu Qingshan.
He strode forward quickly, and after a few breaths, he had already stepped onto the altar.
At the moment Lu Qingshan stepped onto the altar, a huge mouth suddenly opened in the void space and swallowed his figure in one bite.
Mo Yan was a step slower and failed to catch up.
Afterwards, the sound of the chimes echoing in the ancient temple disappeared, and the soft light above the altar dimmed, returning to normal.
Only the disappearance of Lu Qingshan proved that the sudden change just now was real.
Mo Yan's face turned pale as he paced back and forth on the altar, trying to trigger the mysterious giant mouth to appear again, but it was all in vain.
…
As soon as Lu Qingshan was swallowed by the giant mouth, he immediately used his Dustless Room magical power, and three flying swords surrounded him...
Immediately, no fierce attack occurred.
Seems safe.
Only then did Lu Qingshan have the mind to observe the surrounding environment.
This is a vast world.
The sky was cloudless, the land was flat, green peaks stood one after another, and there was a faint mist flowing between heaven and earth.
Everyone who first enters this place will feel an indescribable sense of cleanliness.
"here it is……"
Lu Qingshan was shocked. He stood there and looked around, but did not see any exit. He could not help but take a deep breath.
"Huh?" Just as he frowned, trying to figure out his current situation, the naturally flowing clouds seemed to be fast-forwarded, and in an instant, the clouds changed dramatically, forming all kinds of images.
Lu Qingshan's mind was immediately attracted over there.
It was a hazy world.
It seemed as if it had just separated, and was surrounded by mist, but the sun and the moon appeared and hung in the middle.
One after another.
In the haze and fog, a huge monster was naturally born between heaven and earth.
The huge creature seemed to be both hermaphrodite and gave birth to four children on its own.
One day, the huge monster looked at the sun and moon hanging above its head, and suddenly it rose up into the sky, opened its huge mouth, soared straight up, and bit one of the sun and moon in the sky.
"This is..." Lu Qingshan was shocked, not only because of the grandeur of the image, but also because he had seen this scene once before.
——When he was observing thousands of beasts and feeling the sword energy and living beings, he had seen this scene and felt the burning pain brought by swallowing the sun and the moon from a first-person perspective.
But compared to the last time, this time he had a God's perspective.
And this time, the information contained in the light and shadow will obviously be much more than last time.
The image is still evolving.
After swallowing the sun and the moon, mysterious symbols bloomed all over the body of the giant beast. Its body shook and it unexpectedly underwent a mysterious transformation.
On his forehead, there was a mysterious symbol shining brightly, penetrating the thick clouds surrounding his body and appearing in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
Lu Qingshan was also very familiar with that symbol.
This is the word "Chi" that appears on the forehead of his green snake creature.
With the appearance of the word "Chi", the aura of this giant beast continued to surge, and amazing changes were taking place.
However, its specific shape has always been hidden in the clouds, making it impossible to see the true process of change.
In the end, Lu Qingshan could only see his eyes, which gradually changed. The left eye turned into a blazing red sun, and the right eye turned into a pale golden crescent moon.
It was exactly the same as the eyes of his green snake creature.
The last time I comprehended the sword energy and living things, the changes in light and shadow ended here.
But this time, the clouds were still flowing, as if telling a long story.
Just after the behemoth born from heaven and earth swallowed the sun and the moon, a long time passed.
Finally, among the four children it gave birth to, another one seemed to be fully prepared. Just like its father, it soared up and swallowed the sun and the moon.
This artificially created monster was obviously not as powerful as its father, so the process of it devouring the sun and the moon seemed extremely anxious, painful and struggling.
The flames burned the body, releasing from the inside out .
In the flames, the giant beast kept rolling and struggling, roaring in pain.
Above, the "father" who first devoured the sun and the moon and completed the transformation, just watched this scene silently and did nothing.
The other three giant beasts below looked at this scene, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
The flames burned for an unknown amount of time before the beast's painful roars gradually faded away, as if it had become numbed by the endless agony.
After a long time, the flames gradually subsided.
Then, a powerful transformation began, and powerful force surged out from the giant beast's body.
This transformation still lasted for a long time, and with the clouds and mist surrounding it, the specific appearance of the giant beast could still not be seen clearly.
But Lu Qingshan could clearly see that the eyes of this giant beast, just like its father before, were transforming towards the sun and the moon.
After a long time, the two eyes completed their transformation.
The sun on the left and the moon on the right, it is mysterious and extremely powerful.
The giant beast let out a cry of joy, shook its body, and wandered freely above the sky. A powerful aura emanated from it.
It was as if the shackles were released and I was free.
Of the three remaining giant beasts under the sky, the fear in the eyes of two of them involuntarily turned into envy and eagerness to try.
But the fear in the eyes of the smallest beast had not yet faded away.
The years go on.
Soon, two of the remaining three giant beasts flew into the sky one after another to devour the sun and the moon.
After being burned in the painful and long-lasting flames, they all completed their transformation.
But the last and smallest giant beast was unable to make up its mind to soar up.
It seemed as if the painful looks of its three brothers had frightened it, making it extremely terrified and hesitant to move forward.
Finally, after a long, long time, the fog between heaven and earth gradually became thinner, and in addition to these five huge beasts, new creatures appeared in this world.
The sun and the moon in the sky were gradually rising higher and becoming more and more out of reach.
Its three older brothers became anxious and roared angrily in the sky, urging it on.
It just kept looking up, with fear flashing in its eyes.
As I was still hesitating, the sky and the earth became completely clear, the fog dissipated, and the sun and the moon hung high in the sky, fixed in the unreachable sky.
The three giant beasts in the sky, its three brothers let out angry roars, angry at its incompetence and also at the high hanging of the sun and the moon.
It has missed its last chance for transformation.
It was filled with regret and pain, wailing miserably.
The giant beast that completed its metamorphosis first, its father, looked at the ground, looked at it wailing, and finally let out a long sigh.
The giant beast's body shook, and suddenly, blazing red flames and pale golden moon flames shot out from the sun and the moon hanging high in the sky and fell directly into its body.
Afterwards, its eyes, which had not shown any abnormality, also changed, turning towards the sun and moon eyes of its brother and father.
At the same time, a crack was torn in the nascent world beside it. The crack was extremely dark and led to an unknown place.
"Roar!" The giant beast roared in the sky, and its meaning was obvious.
The smallest giant beast was still shaking its head, and a struggle flashed in its eyes that had just transformed into the sun and the moon.
"roar!"
"roar!"
"roar!"
Its three brothers also roared at this time, urging it and forcing it, with four pairs of shining eyes like the sun and the moon staring at it.
Under the gazes of its three brothers and father, it no longer had the courage to refuse.
Then, it let out a wail, its body flashed , and it disappeared into the crack, completely disappearing.
…
At this moment, Lu Qingshan was silent, standing there motionless, as if he had realized something.
If he was not mistaken, these images were the stories of the original form of his sword-like creatures.
In an unknown world, when the heaven and earth were first born, a strange beast was born, let's call it "Chitian".
This strange beast named "Chitian" gave birth to four more children.
In that world, the sun and the moon were just formed, but not yet hanging in the sky.
For the "Chitian" clan, there is an indispensable step if they want to evolve and grow.
That is to devour the sun and the moon.
Only after enduring the pain of being burned by flames can they complete their transformation.
Then, the four larger "Chi Tian" went through this ceremony one after another and completed the transformation.
Only the smallest "Chitian" was afraid of the pain of being burned by the sun and the moon, so he hesitated to swallow the sun and the moon.
As time passed, the heaven and earth stabilized, and the sun and the moon also became fixed, hanging high in the unreachable sky, no longer able to be swallowed by "Chitian".
The youngest "Chi Tian" missed the only chance to transform.
But it was unwilling.
Finally, its father, the most powerful "Chitian" who completed the transformation first, used special means to steal some of the power of the sun and the moon and infused it into its body, thus retaining the last possibility for it to complete the transformation.
However, at this time, the sun and the moon have already merged into one with this world.
Stealing the power of the sun and the moon is equivalent to stealing the power of heaven and earth, which is not tolerated by the way of heaven.
Therefore, the most powerful "Chi Tian" had to open a space crack and send it to another world so that it could avoid the punishment of heaven and complete the transformation.
It was also at this time that Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered many details that he had overlooked in the process of comprehending the sword energy and living things.
The statue of the wild beast that was sealed in the Namtso Lake and in the Longmen Secret Realm, which possessed the meaning of extinction, prompted him to realize the sword energy and life.
And before he left the Longmen Secret Realm, the pair of terrifying eyes that looked like the sun and the moon were sinking, and the bloody mouth that swallowed two monks from the underworld in one gulp, should have come from this smallest "Chitian".
"So, after it left its own world, the new world it came to was the Cang Qiong Tian of our human race?"
"But what is this fluctuation that has caused the green snake creature to become active?"
"What on earth is this place?"
Lu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
But what he didn't expect was that the flowing clouds did not disappear after the smallest "Chi Tian" left his hometown.
It continues to change and flow.
New images continue to emerge.
Lu Qingshan just took a glance and his heart was suddenly shocked!
