Chapter 226: Chapter 160: Rotation_1

Translator: 549690339

In the Scholar’s Palace, there is a lake called Dongting.

Above Dongting, there is an island named Fish and Dragon.

On Fish and Dragon Island, there is a tree, the Three Treasures Bodhi.

The Three Treasures: Buddhist Law, monks, and the Buddhist community!

In the past, Pudu Cihang brought disaster to the people, leaving barely one-tenth of Buddhism and Taoism intact, and the tradition of the Northern Territory was completely wiped out.

This Three Treasures Bodhi Tree was once the treasure that guarded the mountain for a great Buddhist temple in the Northern Territory. First falling into the hands of Pudu Cihang, it later came into the possession of Guo Bei Academy, and to this day, it has become the property of the Wandao School, planted atop this lake in Dongting, on Fish and Dragon Island.

It is said that this tree, being the Bodhi True Seed and possessing the power of the Three Treasures, can aid cultivators in enlightenment, much like the World Honoured Tathagata beneath the Bodhi Tree, achieving great enlightenment upon Proving the Dao.

How the World Honoured Tathagata achieved enlightenment in the past, nobody knows.

But today…

Beneath the Bodhi Tree, Xu Yang sits casually, caressing the beauty in his arms, and asks, “Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

Miss Xin Shisi lies in his arms, with a pair of snow-white fox ears hidden amidst her flowing black hair trembling slightly, then she propped herself up and kissed his lips, her affection boundless, “Wait for Yun Er, my lord!”

Xu Yang smiled as he watched her, over two thousand years flowing by like water, leaving hardly a trace upon her, still as she was when they first met—her beauty like jade, her spiritual energy adding to her immortal charm.

Indeed, an immortal charm!

Her cultivation had reached the Seventh Realm—she was, in this world, a demon immortal!

Since the establishment of the Wandao School, with Taoism governing the world, the human population grew exponentially, greatly reducing the difficulty of performing the Luotian Dajiao ritual. Now it could be held every two years, each time helping several Seventh Realm cultivators and over a dozen Sixth Realm cultivators achieve breakthroughs.

When one person obtains the Dao, even chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, let alone the beloved by one’s side?

Two thousand years ago, Xu Yang used the Luotian Dajiao ritual to help Miss Xin Shisi become a Seventh Realm demon immortal.

Not just Miss Xin Shisi, but also the Xin Family’s couple and the Xin sisters benefitted from the Luotian Dajiao, producing several demon immortals in succession. This propelled the Xin Family to become a renowned and prominent household among the Demon Race, rivalling Qingluan of Phoenix Song Mountain. The name of the Xin Family’s Fox became known to all without exception.

Spirit monsters, once cultivated, often have lifespans much longer than human cultivators. Some species possess nearly immortal capabilities.

For example, the Old Demon of this world has a lifespan of ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years while only being a Sixth Realm cultivator, equivalent to a human Golden Core—immune to disaster, they could live for hundreds of thousands of years without issue.

This is the advantage of spirit monsters.

However, the Xin Family’s Fox is not one of these species, but merely a common spirit monster of the fox kind.

Therefore, Miss Xin Shisi’s lifespan isn’t exaggerated. Even stepping into the Seventh Realm only grants her a lifespan of a little over two thousand years.

And now, those two thousand years have passed.

Her life, has come to an end.

In contrast, Xu Yang is still in his prime, ascending like the noonday sun.

Since ancient times, beauties and heroes alike are not allowed to show their white hair to the world!

On the path of cultivation, separation and death are inevitable.

Especially for someone like Xu Yang.

But the couple do not feel sorrow.

Because Xu Yang had already given her the choice, and she had made her decision early on.

The choice Xu Yang offered was simple: one was Ascension, the other was reincarnation.

Her cultivation had reached the Seventh Realm, even the peak of the Seventh Realm, no weaker than Pudu Cihang of the past.

As long as she ascended to the Upper Realm, relying on the Spiritual Treasure Mecha prepared by Xu Yang and various methods, as well as the support of over a thousand cultivators from the Wandao School who had ascended, she would undoubtedly be able to attain the Eight Realms’ Mana Point and make a breakthrough before her life ran out.

With the breakthrough in cultivation, the lifespan increases naturally. As long as progression continues, there is hope for longevity.

This was the first choice Xu Yang gave her.

The advantages were obvious.

But there were many risks as well.

Firstly, the situation in the Upper Realm was still unclear to the Wandao School.

Although over the past two thousand years, the Wandao School had sent over a thousand Seventh Realm cultivators to ascend, these ascended ones also carried various magic artifacts developed by the Wandao School in an attempt to establish a connection between the Upper and Lower Realms and to understand the state of the Immortal Gods in the Upper Realm.

However…

Like a clay ox entering the sea, there was no news at all.

All the cultivators, after ascending, sent no messages back.

The various communication methods developed by the Wandao School also lost their effect; they simply couldn’t establish contact.

Therefore, to this day, Xu Yang has no knowledge of what the Upper Realm is like, whether it’s safe or dangerous.

Thus, ascending to the Upper Realm carried a great deal of uncertainty, even being quite perilous.

Miss Xin Shisi was not afraid of danger, but she was very resistant to the idea of Ascension.

Because Xu Yang had informed her of his origins and had made it clear that he himself would not be ascending to the Upper Realm anytime soon.

This “short time” was at least tens of thousands of years!

Therefore, Miss Xin Shisi did not wish to ascend but leaned more towards the cycle of life and death, reincarnation and rebirth, as mentioned by Xu Yang.

To go through reincarnation, find him, and be together again!

That was the little fox’s thought.

In response, Xu Yang could only nod and agree.

“The cycle of life and death, reincarnation and rebirth may hold mysteries within the womb.”

“Even without these mysteries, as an infant, you will be defenseless and may face many perils and dangers.”

“You must take care in what you do, do not hasten unduly. Tread as if on thin ice, plan before you act…”

Xu Yang held her in his arms, carefully giving his advice.

Miss Xin Shisi leaned against him, listening quietly without a word.

These words had already been spoken thousands, perhaps millions of times, but neither of them tired of them.

Never tiring of speaking, never tiring of listening.

After a long while, Xu Yang finally stopped speaking, gazing at her and leaning down.

Just a kiss, a light touch, and brilliant radiance flashed, as the beautiful figure gradually turned ethereal.

As for this, Miss Xin Shisi didn’t panic or resist, only looking at Xu Yang and reaching out to grip his hand tightly, “Wait for me, my lord!”
