Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 359: The truth of coexistence between humans and gods

Many elders of the Huoyun Cave came here and saw their lifelong cultivation techniques being broken by someone using the simplest principles of new learning. They were disturbed, and even Dao Saint and Holy Buddha were affected. Only Master Lingyue and Hua Hu had planned to revise the old saint's unique learning in Confucianism, so they were the most calm, but they regretted that Yu Jin's revision was not enough.

"Yu Jin's revision is not as fierce as ours."

Hua Hu was quite unhappy and whispered, "If he revises it well, we can save effort."

Master Lingyue shook his head and said, "How dare he revise it? If he revises it, he will trigger the tribulation, become an immortal, and then be killed. If it were me, even if I reached the original realm, I wouldn't dare to revise it. A slight modification would reveal my aura and cause the heavenly tribulation, and then I would die. After the teacher's death, the task of revitalizing our line falls on me..."

Before he finished speaking, thunder struck like rain and struck the young man's forehead.

Dao Saint came to Su Yun's side and said leisurely, "Su Lord, please invite Lord Yu Qingluo to help the elders of the Huoyun Cave resolve their doubts, consolidate Lord Yu's position, and use Yu Jin's hand to make us old saints realize the shortcomings of the old saint's unique learning. Su Lord is really thoughtful."

Holy Buddha and others looked at Su Yun with admiration.

"The weaknesses that Yu Jin, the human and demon, can find in our hearts are only limited to this. Without weaknesses, we don't need to worry about Yu Jin controlling our minds."

Holy Buddha praised, "In that case, we can rest assured and kill Yu Jin. Su Lord is thoughtful."

Everyone nodded and exclaimed, "I have long heard that Lord Tongtian is wise, and now I see that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Su Yun walked towards the mountain, saying indifferently, "You all think too much."

Dao Saint followed him and asked in surprise, "Doesn't Lord have this idea?"

"I do intend to use Yu Jin, the human and demon, to perfect your hearts, and to let you old stubborn people understand the mysteries of new learning and no longer oppose it. Yes, I am indeed wise!"

Su Yun patiently explained, "But Brother Dao just said that we can rest assured and kill Yu Jin, which is what you think too much. I invited you here not to use your hands to kill Yu Jin. You are not even a match for Yu Jin. You will be killed by him without even a chance to fight back."

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces turned black, except for Tai Sui, who nodded repeatedly and said, "I said on the way here that even if you are tied together, you are not my opponents, let alone Yu Jin?"

Everyone's faces turned even darker. "Then why did Lord Su invite us here? What does he want us to do?"

"As long as you don't die, just guard the hearts of the Glutton, Poverty-stricken, Kylin, and Tai Sui, and that's enough."

Su Yun said in a deep voice, "As for the battle, leave it to the fourteen gods. When we arrive on the mountain later, you must not take action, just ensure that you don't die and suppress your demonic nature as much as possible!"

Everyone sneered.

The mountain continued to rise, and the jade tablets above seemed to have blurred boundaries. Nearly a hundred gods danced around the huge immortal talisman, and the aura of the world became terrifyingly intense, pouring into the immortal talisman madly!

The rays of light emitted from the immortal talisman were extremely thick, illuminating the void, causing it to constantly crack and reveal cracks. In the instant when each crack appeared, other worlds could be seen within the cracks!

Those worlds were strange and varied. Some were deserts, some were seas of fire, some were wastelands, some were oceans, some were lava, and occasionally, buildings from other worlds could be seen, indicating the presence of life.

What's more, they also saw towering gods, giant gods comparable to planets, with land, sea, mountains, and atmosphere on their bodies, wandering in the universe!

"It's really strange." Su Yun withdrew his gaze.

Ying Ying couldn't help but pop out and stand on his shoulder, looking up. She saw that the sky was gradually darkening, leaving only the light shining from the light column!

The light column continued to advance, illuminating all the way, tearing open cracks in space. Although the cracks in space quickly healed, this magnificent scene was still dazzling.

"Su Scholar, this light column is advancing through space!"

Ying Ying exclaimed, "Those cracks are the worlds encountered by the light column on its journey!"

Su Yun looked up and saw that the light column was still growing, but it didn't seem to be high, yet space was constantly being opened up by the light column, and when space opened, the traces of other worlds appeared. It was indeed somewhat similar to what Ying Ying said.

Is the immortal talisman really opening up a path directly to the immortal realm?

He looked down and saw that on the ground, one after another gray cities were rising, with gray rising and evaporating, turning into new world aura, while the original world aura withered and decayed.

The ancient god kings in those gray cities awakened, and a powerful and terrifying aura erupted, declaring that the previous world had not completely passed away.

Their era was far from over!

They were making a comeback now!

The closest gray cities to this place had terrifying aura fluctuations, and powerful figures were swallowing the new world aura and rushing towards this side!

"Lou Ban's friend is building a new city to suppress the gray cities. This is what we are worried about."

Su Yun's face became solemn. "Back then, as the Lord of Tongtian, he should have noticed Yu Jin's actions and planned to suppress him. Unfortunately, the resources of Tongtian Pavilion are limited, and not all the underground gray cities were suppressed... Let's speed up!"

Everyone rushed towards the mountain with all their strength. The pressure from the gods and immortal talismans became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for people with low cultivation like Yu Qingluo, Su Yun, and Wu Tong to move forward.

Dao Saint and Holy Buddha protected them and rushed up.

Although it seemed not far from the top of the mountain, the mountain was still growing, and the pressure became greater and greater. After half an hour of effort, they finally reached the top of the mountain.Upon reaching the mountain peak, Luo Wanyi was already there. The young emperor of the Great Qin knelt on the ground and said, "Father, if you only care about the people of the previous world and disregard those of this one, I'm afraid I can't fulfill my filial duties!"

Luo Yujin laughed, "What a good child. You've seized this opportunity to take control of the court and gained the support of the Martial Saint and his followers. There are no dissenting voices in the court anymore. Have you also gained the support of the God Emperor?"

Luo Wanyi stood up, "With father acting against the natural order, the God Emperor naturally supports me in upholding justice."

Luo Yujin laughed heartily, "God Emperor, are you still hiding?"

Above Luo Wanyi's head, layers of heavenly palaces appeared. Under the heavenly gate, gods stood in great numbers. The God Emperor stood in the middle of the gate and smiled, "Dao brother was my guide, but now I no longer need him. You want to destroy my Dao lineage and cut off my path to immortality. Naturally, I can't let you off easily!"

He cultivated through the faith of all beings, thus becoming an immortal existence. Therefore, he wanted to wage war against Yuan Shuo.

Now, Luo Yujin wanted to annihilate the beings of this era and return to the previous world, undoubtedly cutting off his Dao lineage. Naturally, he was the first one who couldn't bear it and chose to support Luo Wanyi.

"You are just a junior I enlightened. Your Dao heart is too weak, seduced by the Pan Sheep to commit an immoral act."

Luo Yujin shook his head, "At this point, you don't even dare to show your true face. In my eyes, you are just so-so, incapable of achieving great things."

The God Emperor laughed heartily.

Luo Yujin turned to Su Yun and the others who had reached the mountain peak, his face solemn, "Master Su, are you also here to uphold justice? Do you still remember the purpose of our Tongtian Pavilion?"

Su Yun set up thirteen portals and smiled, "The purpose of Tongtian Pavilion is to explore the mysteries of the world, reach the other shore, and become an immortal existence. But if you let all these beings decay, how can you still be a member of Tongtian Pavilion? Today, I will kick you out of Tongtian Pavilion and remove your name from it!"

One by one, the portals opened, and the young Kylin, the young Golden Crow, the naughty Glutton, the old woman, and others walked out one after another, standing behind Su Yun.

"Tongtian Pavilion was just a tool for me."

Luo Yujin smiled, "At this point, I no longer need Tongtian Pavilion. However, there are not many gods who can make me suffer a loss. Winged Dragon is one, Hakutaku is another. There are also not many mortals who can make me suffer a loss. Master Su, you are the second person who made me suffer a loss."

Su Yun asked solemnly, "Then who was the first person who made you suffer a loss?"

Luo Yujin said, "The First Saint Emperor. He was the only one who made me suffer a loss before you. Back then, I lived overseas, plotting how to return the world to its previous state, back to the previous world. To be honest, I was the ruler of the previous world. At that time, I unified the world, appointed the lords as gods, and ruled the world. I was full of ambition, trying to ascend the world. When everything was ready, hehe..."

A look of grief and indignation appeared on his face. He looked up at the sky and sneered, "Then the Northern Crown Great Wall appeared. You have never seen such a scene. The world's vitality decayed all at once and turned into tribulation ash!"

He laughed heartily, beating his body transformed into an immortal zither, laughing until tears streamed down his face, choking with laughter, "The whole world was burning, burning! It was burning red! Everyone turned into monsters, into tribulation ash monsters!"

The scene he described, Su Yun had seen in the temple of the Tribulation Ash City in Boshan County. The Northern Crown Great Wall poured down tribulation ash, and the whole world was annihilated, turned into ashes.

That scene was indeed shocking beyond words!

Dao Saint whispered in Su Yun's ear, "He's stalling for time, waiting for the Tribulation Ash God King to arrive."

Su Yun didn't answer.

Luo Yujin was half crying and half laughing, his demeanor manic, "Can you understand me, Master Su? You don't understand, but you will understand soon. Do you think that five thousand years ago, why so many gods and demons descended in this world, and humans and gods lived together, was it a natural occurrence? Do you think the sudden arrival of the Heavenly Market Wall was also a coincidence? No!"

His face was serious, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, "No! It was me! I summoned these gods and demons! It was me who, at the time of the destruction of the previous world, activated the immortal zithers in various places, trying to open up the immortal world, but instead summoned the Heavenly Market Wall!"

His voice grew louder and louder, deafening, "It was me! I summoned these gods and demons, I created you all single-handedly! I tried to use your power and the power of the gods and demons to make up for my mistakes, to sacrifice the gods and demons in blood, and to ascend the world!"

His body was surrounded by a monstrous demonic aura, his demonic nature profound, "If it weren't for the Northern Crown Great Wall pouring down tribulation ash, I would have taken our entire world, my people, and ascended to the immortal world! Damn this immortal world, damn these martial immortals, damn this Northern Crown Great Wall!"

"But after the disaster, I could only turn into a human demon, watching my remaining people struggling to survive in the tribulation fire!"

Behind Luo Yujin, a giant god descended, with a huge bone wheel on his back, holding the staff of the Tribulation Ash God King, kneeling on one knee before him.

Luo Yujin laughed like a madman, "I could only seal them one by one in the tribulation ash, watching my people, my city sink into the ground, I could only watch you live on the ruins of my world, my people! I knew I should wait for the opportunity, and now the opportunity has finally come."

Behind him, one after another resurrected Tribulation Ash God Kings descended, holding their staffs and kneeling before him.

Luo Yujin's tone calmed down, and he smiled, "You are just parasites living in our world. Now, it's time to return this land to its rightful owners. As a reward, some of you can be pets and ascend to the immortal world with us. As long as..."

Behind him, Qin Wuling and Han Jun knelt on one knee.

"Just like them." Luo Yujin laughed.
