Chapter 122: Fishing for the Moon in Water, Viewing Flowers
seemed to glimmer with an almost dazzling light.“What did you say” Jiang Yan laughed, a rare occurrence. His laughter echoed through the candlelight, carrying a chilling sensation. “You wouldn’t use t...Puff puff puff~
The chasm was rugged. The wind was like a knife.
The obese figure crushed in the wind, with an innocent tinkling sound.
The ghost officer Taiping, Zhu Dali, finally caught up to the Red Moon demon king, She Gu Yu.
Or perhaps, the snake, rarely seen, wasn't as wary, allowing him to catch up. Her purple hair gently swayed, as she looked over with no emotion in her eyes.
With vacant eyes, it asks—Why did you come
"Join the Taiping Dao!" Zhu Dali said directly. Shegu Yu didn't speak.
"Join the Taiping Dao," Zhu Dali repeated. "Let me tell you why we have to live." He pulled down his mask, and on his fat, not very handsome face, was utter seriousness. "I'll lead you in search of the answers."
What was this guy trying to tell me Or was he trying to tell himself Xie Guyu thought to himself, but didn't speak.
She wasn't a homeless spirit, nor one with nowhere to go.
She was born into the illustrious Linwu She clan, possessing stunning talent that captivated all. At a young age, she became the new king of the Heavenly Rankings.
But no one knows that the entire Linwu Serpent clan is secretly made up of members of the Bitter Cage sect. She too was raised under strict rules and joined the Bitter Cage sect.
The world of the "Curse Cage Party" is one of despair, filled with those who only yearn for self-destruction. They seek to end their suffering in a glorious death.
The Liming Snake Clan has planned a scheme to destroy the Divine Fragrance Flower Sea. Responding to the call of the powerful figures from the Bitter Cage Sect, they intend to use the destruction of the Divine Fragrance Flower Sea to free the entire Liming Snake Clan. The newly crowned King of the Heavenly Rankings, She Gu Yu, is an extremely important tool in this plan.
But "tools" have their own ideas.
Having been raised on the doctrines of the Suffering-Cage School, Shegou Yu nonetheless didn't desire death upon reaching maturity. His yearning for life grew ever stronger, ultimately erasing the chains that bound him.
Thus, the Linwu Blood Case came to be.
Although she didn't know why she so desperately wanted to live, nor did she know the meaning of life, nor did she know what hope there was in this vast cage of a world.
But she wanted to live.
She had nothing, desired nothing, except the primal urge of life itself.
Now Zhu Dalì said that he would take her to find the meaning of life, to find the answer to why she lived. She didn't expect much from Taipingdao, but she didn't seem to resist it either.
Whatever, it doesn't matter, life can't get any worse.
In the future Chai sees, this is one scene among many. It's not necessarily anything spectacular.
It's even hard to say it's worthwhile.
But such a scene, he was willing to exchange the demonic race's future for three thousand years.
The ancient imperial city wasn't very strict in managing the evil god Yin Si, because a large number of "wild deities" contributed to the immense divine power absorbed by the God-Conferring Platform every year.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But factions like the Kulu Clan, which cannot even be classified as a clear school of thought, are absolutely taboo among the demonic race. Any member of the Kulu Clan discovered will face the bloodiest purge in the ancient imperial city.
But the bitter prison school did not fear this, but rather welcomed it.
The Kulu School believes that demon clans are born as prisoners, their lives are suffering from the moment they are born, and only death can bring eternal liberation. They pursue various spectacular ways to die, so that their demise is somewhat glorious. Being hunted down by the powerful beings of the ancient imperial city can also be considered one such way.
Many yokai thought this was bravery because the Kurigari viewed death as home. But if you ask Rokurota, it's the biggest cowardice.
Because they lacked the courage to face reality and the courage to break free from their cage, they could only use death to escape everything.
True wisdom and bravery lie in those who, like Yu Zhen, never give up the fight and always pave the way for their community. They are like Chai, accumulating for millennia and dedicating it all to a single moment, forever believing in themselves and the future.
After disrupting a potentially achievable transcendence, halting a guaranteed achievement, and sacrificing an already achieved transcendence...A magnificent new era has dawned before the Yao Clan! The myriad worlds of heaven and earth once again open their arms to the Yao Clan!
The demon clan can no longer be imprisoned from this day forward!
The divine infant's abduction, the loss of Shī Lang – these merely caused alarm and anger in him. Even when Zhū Lan was slain, he continued to draw his sword; even when Yáo Zhēng was cut down, he only acknowledged In-yáng as a worthy opponent. But now, seeing Wǔ Zhèng's ancestor embrace all heavens upon the river of time... Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably!
How great!
How difficult!
That was in the long river of time.
What did the Emperor Taizong and Grand Ancestor Yuzhen discuss when they sat together and conversed
Perhaps Emperor Yuanxi, the one who inscribed the four characters "Er Ti Zhe Min" on the bronze cauldron transformed from Yu Zhen's mortal body, was the only person in the world who guessed Yu Zhen's plan.
He remained in this state for myriad years, thinking that with the power of the demonic realm's divine path, he could shape a god king's body, bestow upon him the title of supreme deity, and welcome Yu Zheng's return. By aiding Yu Zheng in fulfilling his grand wish, he would have Yu Zheng lead the demon race into a new era that embraces all heavens.
But establishing a truly open world of Shenxiao and unlocking the ten-thousand-year confinement of the demon race, while simultaneously allowing Yu Zheng to return to transcendence, has an extremely low success rate.
Yu Zhen chose to refuse, and treated the emperor Yuan Xi's move as a resource investment. He also laid the groundwork for his resurrection as a "loss."
Therefore, Emperor Yuanxi sighed.
Besides sighs, there is nothing more to say.
In the beginning, when he vied for the position of Demon Emperor with Yu Zhen, they both held their own justifications and believed in their respective paths, each convinced that they could lead the demon race to a brighter future.
He is focused on the internal affairs of the demon clan, believing in the inherent potential of the demon clan and that it can once again rise to greatness, reaching the center of the myriad realms.
And Yu Zheng ventured into danger himself, seeking the dragon clan's return. The failure of this move directly led to the withdrawal of this biggest competitor from the contest for the Demon Emperor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yuan Xi, during his tenure as the Demon Emperor, cannot be said to have been unsuccessful.
After all, under his leadership, the demon clan won the Wuling Blood War, sweeping through the Five Evils Basin and nearly breaking through the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons! Although he ultimately failed to achieve complete victory, it was still the most brilliant victory since the New World.
But the demon realm was inherently deficient, and Heavenly Prison was a massive cage in itself.
The demon clan is imprisoned here. As long as they cannot break free from this cage, no matter how hard they struggle, they are only delaying their death.
Although the human and demon clans fight every day, the demon clan has never retreated.
But within a sealed realm, the demon race's war potential is constantly decreasing. Meanwhile, the human race, occupying the center of myriad worlds, sees its war potential increase daily.
Emperor Yuan Xi understood very well that without a radical change, the Battle of Wuling would be almost the last flicker of hope for the demon race. That brilliant victory was achieved at a bloody cost!
After the Battle of Wuling Ridge, he made great efforts. He organized many attacks against the human world from outside and also presided over various reforms within the demon race.
Please note that the original content within the tags was empty. I have only retained the html tag as instructed.
For example, large-scale learning of human culture and introducing human cultivation methods. For example, actively hosting various martial arts tournaments to select talented demons. For example, reforming the military system and innovating battle formations....
However, all that he had done during his reign as the Demon Emperor paled in comparison to what Yu Zheng had achieved—unless one were to count the time when he truly breached the Gates of Ten Thousand Demons during the Blood Battle of Wuling.
Tens of thousands of years ago, he and Yu Zhen each held their own beliefs and couldn't persuade each other. Tens of thousands of years later, it was still the same. He sighed; he was willing to concede to Yu Zhen's plan as well.
How could the layout of the Imperial City's Altar of Ascension, spanning tens of thousands of years, not be a grand illusion of destiny, a rich stockpile
He knew that once Yu Zhen succeeded, the moment the Shenxiao world truly "opened",
This will be a feat comparable to the last Demon Emperor of ancient times opening up the Demon Realm!
Please note that the original text was just a closing paragraph tag. I've kept the HTML tag as it is.
The ancient Demon Emperor gave the demon race a chance to survive, and Yu Zheng opened up brand new hope for them! He hopes that Yu Zheng can, with such immense prestige, lead the demon race back to the center of all worlds.
But Yu Zheng demanded perfection, refusing to allow his resurrection to risk the success of his final plan. He wanted his resurrection to be a perfect fuel for his ambitions. Just like Chai later crushed the San Sheng Lan Yin flowers, refusing to share the "victory" achieved through countless failures. He even used the power of the San Sheng Lan Yin flowers to further solidify the cycle of cause and effect in this world.
So the last sigh of Emperor Yuanxi was just "Yu Zheng does not want to."
What he wished for, he could not say.
If we say Emperor Yuanxi was the only one throughout history to have predicted the existence of the Yu Zhen layout.
Chai was the second person throughout history to comprehend the truth of the divine realm. Therefore, Jiang Wang is the third person to touch upon the truth of this world.
Of course, Zhiwen Zhong's help was invaluable, but it stemmed primarily from his unwavering and fervent contemplation of the world!
Before embracing the river of time and soaring among the heavens, Yu Zheng had a conjecture about the final evolution of this world!
He speculated that the fate phantoms in Liudao Forest were the lifeblood of this Shenxiao world. He speculated that even with all his failures, there was still a 10% chance he could succeed.
>And besides freedom, besides the freedom of the entire demon clan, what else is worth a great being like Yu Zhen to sacrifice
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He guessed the most tremendous possibility for the demon race, and the most terrifying for the human race.
For several eras, the human race had built an unbreakable barrier around the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. Now, that line of defense has been bypassed!
From now on, the demon clan could travel to the myriad worlds through the Divine Thunder World, and they wouldn't have to rely solely on some celestial demons venturing into the chaotic sea to acquire knowledge and resources from the vast universe... From now on, they possessed infinite possibilities!
This is a sample text.
He had guessed it, but was powerless to do anything about it.
...to watch helplessly as the most terrifying possibility unfolded, step by step, into reality.
A rising great world, unstoppable. A great tribe of infinite possibilities, irresistible.
But!
Since the Shenxiao World is open to all heavens and realms.
Therefore, humans and demons should have the same possibilities in this world! Whoever occupies this world first will gain the initiative.
At this time, the world of Shenxiao is like an egg in the vast chaotic sea. All life sprouts and stubbornly grows within its shell. No matter how tumultuous, magnificent, or fierce this world may be, with countless paths vying for dominance and celestial beings striving for transcendence, the outside remains undisturbed.
This is the world's self-protection, so-called "innate innocence." Master Xingnian induced the rules of the world to create opportunities for Jiang Wang, this "outsider" human prodigy. Yuzhen cleared the hidden dangers and solidified this protection in order to ensure a flawless ascension.
When the Shenxiao world completes its ascension, it will naturally "emerge from the cocoon as a butterfly." It will no longer be innocent and isolated but will leap out of the Chaos Sea and open its arms to all worlds.
Of course, the demon clan would have the advantage in the initial stages.
For tens of thousands of years, countless powerful demon clan figures have laid out their plans and fought in this world. Maoyun City is home to several celestial demons! They are just waiting for the Shenxiao World to open, with plenty of aces up their sleeves ready to be used.
Without mentioning the fact that at this moment, the celestial being Xuan Nanguo residing in the realm of the gods is possessed by myriad deities, there are many ways for him to send a message back to the demon world.
Maybe the demon army is already gathering now!
Indeed, the Shenxiao Realm was created by the Ancestor of the Demon Race, and the Demons are more familiar with it. They have the advantage of both time and place.
However, in today's world, the human race surpasses the demon race and dominates all heavens and myriad realms. It is a flourishing trend!
If the human race could arrive here in time to compete with the demon race, the outcome would still be uncertain.
It is conceivable that at the moment when the Shenxiao World completes its ascension and powerful demon clan members enter this world, the demon clan will certainly want to find ways to conceal their celestial secrets.
I will certainly run the Divine Thunder World like an impenetrable fortress, just like the Civilization Basin is to the present world… and then invite all celestial beings and races to participate.

The moment the Shenxiao World emerged from the Chaos Sea, there must have been quite a stir. But as long as one had the heart to conceal it, whether by hiding behind clouds or under waves, there would always be a way.
Even if the heavens cannot conceal it for too long, having an extra hour to prepare is a tremendous advantage.

Yu Zheng left an infinitely vast world for the demon clan, a future filled with infinite possibilities. He has paid the ultimate price.
The other advantages will be won by the demon clan themselves. As for Jiang Wang, who is he
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But all heavens and realms are but a speck of dust!
He cannot influence the grand scheme between humans and demons, nor can he shake the plans of a great being like Yu Zheng. But as long as he can inform the human race of the opening of the Shenxiao world in time, even just by a breath or two, it would be a tremendous contribution!
>
This possibility didn't exist before. Now it does!
Because previously, what Yu Zhen wanted was "to gain everything, one must lose everything".
And at this time, the shattering of all destinies and illusions brought about the final ascension of the world. Yu Zheng achieved enlightenment, but his physical body no longer existed.

As Shenxiao's world ascended to global prominence, the news bell clanged frantically.
While helping Jiang Wang see more reality, it is also helping him find his path in the unknown. Ding!
Jiang Wang grasped Zhiwen Zhong tightly, holding it suspended in mid-air. The frenzied ringing abruptly ceased.
I have my own way! Why should I know what others say
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the world of Shenxiao, where essence surges and rises with a deafening roar, Jiang Wang and his Chang Xiang Si appear so tranquil.
The Zhiwen Bell, once a treasured possession of the Buddha, soothed his karmic ripples and allowed him to remain peaceful amidst the cosmic upheaval.
He was the third person throughout history to have guessed the existence of the Yu Zheng layout. Although he didn't have the ability to destroy Yu Zheng's layout or prevent the ascension of the Shenxiao world, being prepared in advance gave him a chance to do something utilizing the ascension of the Shenxiao world.
Emperor Yuan Xi guessed Yu Zheng's plan and chose to welcome Yu Zheng back. Chai saw Yu Zheng's plan and chose to help Yu Zheng achieve it.
>
...But Jiang Wang only discovered the truth as this game was about to end.... As a member of the human race, he chose his own people; as Jiang Wang, he achieved greatness!
The vestiges of two great beings from the past, discussing matters as they sat on the river of time. I leaped here, cleaving the void with a single strike!
At that time, the stars shifted and the water of time flowed. Snow fell between heaven and earth. It was also a preliminary establishment of direction for this world. The handle of the Big Dipper pointed north, and my heart yearned for my hometown! Searching for Yu Zhen's old path failed.
>
Failed to find the old path of the World-Honored One.

Build the city of Wu'an to meet Wu'an, may my strength be a bridge and yet break.
All the efforts made to go home after being exiled to the demon realm, no, in the Shenxiao world, have all failed!
If the Shenxiao world is to ascend its essence once more, after the restructuring of the spacetime order, and rebuild causality. If the rules of the world are to return to their fairness.
Yu Zheng gained one success from many defeats.
I, Jiang Wang, will consider a hundred failures as one success!
Shenxiao world supports you, and you should also support me.
His ten thousand losses were exchanged for a leap in the world.
All I want is to go home!
At this crucial time of ascension in this world, Jiang Wang emulates Yu Zhen and borrows the cause-and-effect reincarnation of this world to achieve her own extravagant aspirations!
With countless failures as fruit, open the cause of success. In this world turned upside down by divine thunderbolts.
Above the time river that stretches across the heavens, Yuzhen has already vanished into the embrace of the myriad realms beyond. He has interpreted his divinely crafted world of Shenxiao with his complete and utter disappearance, truly embodying its fairness and openness.
“Let me enlighten you all, and I shall also attain enlightenment!” The echo lingered. And in the ripples of time, there was a reflection of stars.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Four dazzling stars, a winding starpath, and a starlight spoon gently moving, probing into the river of time. The starlight scoops up time, and time also shatters starlight.
>
In the world of Shenxiao, where mountains and rivers are reversed, an endless shower of starlight falls. It is a dreamlike sight.
An endless expanse of starlight forms a path that stretches to Jiang Wang's feet. I forge an outer hall with the Star Road, and with the Star Road, I reach the outer hall!
The starlight that illuminates the heavens and myriad worlds also once shone upon my hometown. Qixing Shenglou...bring me home!
In Ling Xi Hua's vision, the mountain collapse, the earthquake, the torrential rain and the fierce wind all seemed far away. He saw that the dark world without stars or moon had starlight. He saw the starlight covering the sky, hanging down a brilliant stream of light.
The once fearsome human prodigy Jiang Wang, who had instilled terror in him, has already embarked on the starlit path, leaving this world at a speed of millions of miles in an instant!
He no longer cared about stabilizing himself, no longer cared about resisting this world turned upside down, he only cried out sharply: "He's going to run!!!"
Who is "he" There's no need to describe him further.
At this very moment, the only one who could stop Jiang Wang from leaving was Xuan Nan Gong. Of course, he would have sensed the change earlier than Ling Xi Hua.
The mutual accomplishment of Yu Zhen, the great ancestor, and Chai, the great ancestor, of course moved him deeply. The hard work behind Emperor Yuan Xi's legacy for ten thousand years was also finally known to him.
But as the current celestial demon in charge of the Sealing God Platform, he couldn't indulge in emotions like those lesser demons.
He fully recognized the great significance of the opening of the Shenxiao world.
At the very first moment of his ascension to a higher plane of existence, he did two crucial things.
The first thing is to quickly inform the ancient imperial city of everything that happened in the Shenxiao world. Please order the Demon Emperor to immediately gather strong people, and be sure to enter the Shenxiao world at the first moment it ascends, completely bringing this world under control.
This matter concerns the lifeline of the demon clan for tens of millions of years, it is the top priority.
The second thing, activate the Sealing of Gods immediately! Even if the power of the Ancient Imperial City's Altar of Sealing Gods cannot be transmitted yet, using only the Altar of Sealing Gods from the Myriad Gods Sea for this world will be a great waste even to use this perfect divine body. We must quickly bestow upon this God King body the title of Lord of the Divine Sky Realm!
Because the Shenxiao world pursues infinite openness, even if a god master's enthronement is successful, it's difficult to have too much authority.
But there is no need for any authority. To have the Heavenly Sovereign of the Shenxiao world under one's control, to have all the mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning of this world in one's heart, is already the greatest advantage.
This is settled. As for the benefits of controlling the Shenxiao world, needless to say.
At the time of activating the Ten Thousand Gods Sea Sealing God Platform and conferring the title of Lord of Shenxiao, he finally had the strength to smooth out the ripples of cause and effect and stop Jiang Wang.
In fact, for a human genius, killing or not killing is not very important. How distant is the divine realm of the True Cave And how far is the Dao derived from the True Cave
Even at its peak, it is difficult to play a crucial role in the interracial conflict.
The key is the intelligence about the Shenxiao world that Jiang Wang knows in his heart, followed by the heavy treasure carried by Jiang Wang!
The Dharma Protectors controlled by Xuan Nan Gong stood on the surging flood, throwing a pair of golden gourd hammers straight down. They transformed into majestic mountains, hammering down on the land!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And with one hand, he lifted high
the myriad divine statues arrayed on the Heavenly Demon Altar, and in an instant, half of them dispersed!
The statue of the God-King, already radiating divine light and undergoing enthronement on the Altar of Consecration, was trembling precariously, showing signs of collapse!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Had not so many possibilities been abandoned, using the Wan Shen Hai Sealing Platform to support this divine king's body, by instantly removing so many statues, this perfect and flawless divine king's body would likely have exploded.
The reason for putting in so much effort is not that Jiang Wang is that difficult to deal with. Rather, it is that Jiang Wang has indeed moved the cause and effect of this ascending world, and is using it to achieve enlightenment!
Fortunately, Jiang Wangzhi's losses weren't significant—compared to Yu Zheng's foundation of ten thousand losses, involving the peak with no way out, transcendence had four···. Even if Jiang Wang failed alone a million times, it would be insignificant in comparison.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore, the number of "successes" returned by the Shenxiao world regarding Jiang Wang's achievements was not large. It was still within the range that could be influenced and redirected by Xuan Nan Gong.
His right hand, raised high, plunged directly into the void. Within the shimmering waves of time's river, a radiant hand, swirling with divine light, suddenly reached out and seized the starlight spoon!
He wants to reverse his fate and forcibly bring Beidou to him! He'll make Jiang Wang walk beside him.
But at that moment, Jiang Wang, who was covered in blood and walking up the Star Road to Heaven, held a wisp of ethereal line on his Zhiwen Bell, like a rainbow leaping out.
Xuannan recognized it, it was the causal thread he had seen before, connecting Jiang Wang and Zhiwen Zhong. The causal thread entangled by Master Xingnian!
One end of this line rests on the starry path, the other dips into the long river of time. And far away, the starry path flickers and fades.

Jiang Wang's figure flashed and disappeared.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Though here, he is also there. He and his stellar path have appeared on the other bank of the river of time, leaping out of this divine realm, spanning across to an infinitely distant future!
Of course, Master Xing Nian hadn't anticipated the opening of the Divine Sky Realm.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Yu Zhen even deceived the demon clan and all beings in the world.
But as the number one computing power of Mount Sumeru, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the Six Paths Forest, nor could he fail to perceive that this world was laying the groundwork for reincarnation.
Though countless masters grace the world, who can rival him in understanding cause and effect
In the chaotic fruit of calculation, he saw the unexpected "one."
He entrusted Jiang Wang with the Zhiwen Zhong, it was impossible for him to leave no backup plan. He expected Jiang Wang, a Godly Transformation cultivator, to bring the heavy treasure back himself.
But only when Jiang Wang walked this path himself would this last resort appear. Only variables can trigger variables.
He studied the Future Starry Sky Calamity Sutra, seeking that "future" moment.
He left a path for Jiang Wang in the past of burning himself up, and in the future where causes and effects were accomplished in the world of Shenxiao.
This road leads to heaven.
The future is here!
That divine light, swirling hand, grasped with force in the long river of time, but caught nothing. Xuan Nan Gong fishes for the moon in water, scooping up a handful of time water.
