Chapter 709: 84. The Secret at the End
Translator: 549690339
In the boundless cold universe, a pitch-black supreme demon dragon shuttled between the empty stars.
This was the Blacktide!
To be precise, it was not black.
Instead, there was no light.
All the starlight that came to this place would be sucked in by the terrifying gravity!
Not just light,
If there were meteorites floating around the black tide, they would be attracted to it and crushed into pieces.
When the black tide passed through a vast, cloud-like star, a large hole appeared in the nebula.
Fortunately, the trajectory of the black tide seemed to be fixed. It was not that it did not have consciousness, but its countless consciousnesses had caused countless chaos. Among them were silent wailing faces, broken bones, and broken limbs.
If one wanted to observe the black tide, the influence of the black tide would be greatly weakened unless there was a space between them. Other than that, one could only rely on the characteristic of ” light disappearing when approaching ” to locate the black tide in the universe.
If there was an observer who had been observing for countless years, they would discover that every twenty-four thousand years, the black tide would pass through the human world when the spiritual energy in the human world was at its peak.
Every 288,000 years, the Blacktide would be the closest to the human world.
Perhaps, it was because of the spiritual energy that the human world would not be pulled over by the gravity of the Blacktide like other meteors.
After that, the black tide would not come to the human world. Instead, it would be guided by a mysterious force and fly toward the depths of the universe.
He did not know fatigue and would never rest.
It was like a god who would always push a rock to the top of the mountain, and then the rock would roll down to the foot of the mountain. It would continue like this forever.
The black tide measured in light-years devoured everything in the silent universe. However, it had already traveled along this established trajectory too many times, so there were not many meteorites that could be unfortunately captured by it.
As long as it passed by, it would drag out an exaggerated black tail…
In the darkest depths of the sea.
Xia Ji suddenly stopped.
When he closed his eyes, he could see a lightless ” demonic dragon ” swimming in the equally dark starry sky far away.
It was a sudden feeling.
He could sense the ” demonic dragon “, but he couldn’t see anything or its appearance.
The ” demonic dragon ” seemed to have sensed him as well, and it let out countless mixed cries in the distance. It seemed to be roaring in a strange and painful voice that could not be heard by humans.
“Come ~”
“Come here ~”
“Come here ~”
Sound couldn’t be transmitted through space, but Xia Ji could vaguely feel it.
At this moment, he stood in the deep sea and looked at the deepest part of the universe.
Then, without moving his lips, he put his palms together and recited,”All sentient beings who have not been liberated have an uncertain nature. Bad habits end in failure, good habits bear fruit. Do good and do evil, and live according to the situation. Five turns, no rest. Moving through the earthly tribulation.
Confusion is difficult…”
This was the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
As he recited, his body emitted a mysterious golden light. It was bright and gentle, but no one could tell what kind of light it was or what shape it was.
And if…With an observer from the perspective of the universe, they could see an extremely spectacular scene.
The black dragon brought countless souls across the vast starry sky towards the human world.
However, there was a ball of ethereal golden light in the human world that condensed into a Buddha with an unclear face and an undetermined shape. It was chanting scriptures to help him pass away.
A long time passed in his mind, but only a few minutes had passed in reality.
Xia Ji’s connection was suddenly cut off, but he wasn’t anxious. He collected his thoughts and looked ahead.
This should be the end of this long passage.
They had clearly reached the final step of the long ladder, but it had experienced another twist and extended one step higher, as if telling the person that there was a final secret here.
Xia Ji patted the dust and the bronze bell at his feet.
These two monsters with infinite luck suddenly woke up.
This awakening was like waking up from a dream. The hundreds and thousands of reincarnations made the two of them dumbfounded. They were stunned on the spot as they digested the vast amount of memories in their minds.
“Let’s go,” Xia Ji said.
Only then did Dust and Bronze Bell wake up.
Dust transformed into the image that he was most satisfied with in Samsara. It was actually a fairy in fluttering white clothes. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. She held a round fan in her hand. In terms of looks, she was probably one of the best in the entire human world.
The bronze bell shook and turned into a majestic golden-armored general. He held a long saber formed by the fate of the bell in his hand. His eyes were disdainful and his aura was fierce. Under his angry eyes, a terrifying aura spread out.
Xia Ji didn’t care how mischievous the two little demons were and said, “”Follow me closely.”
Then, he walked up the steps.
Ripples spread out in the space. This staircase actually led to a small world?
After Xia Ji took this step, he was no longer in the deep sea, but the scenery in front of him still made him feel a little strange.
This place was not a sea of fire and a mountain of knives. It was just a small courtyard bathed in the setting sun. In the distance of the small courtyard, one could vaguely see the market. There seemed to be lively sounds coming from the market…
It gave off a warm and soft feeling.
However, such a world was like an ink painting, being burned away by the flames.
“What’s that black thing in the distance?” asked Lady Dust.
“You’ll know when you go and take a look,” said General Bronze Bell.
Xia Ji explained, ” That’s the Void World. It’s a world where nothing exists. It seems like this place…” It’s being devoured by the void. Follow me closely. Don’t go anywhere, and don’t touch anything here.”
He was very curious.
Why was this place, which seemed to be hiding a huge secret, just an ordinary human village?
What was hidden in such a village?
Why did he end up here?
He walked to the small courtyard under the setting sun, and suddenly…He actually fell into a trance for the second time.
He seemed to have stepped into another ripple. When he walked out, his appearance had changed, and he had become a little boy.
Through the basin of clear water in front of him, he could see his own appearance. It could be said that he had delicate features, but he was born with a comforting compassion. He was dignified and extraordinary.
At this moment, he was sitting by the basin of clear water and looking at the ants.
The little ants crawled among the grass, trying their best to carry the food.
His gaze followed the direction that the little ant was crawling in and soon saw the ant nest. It was a nest that led to the neighbor’s house, but that nest had long been blocked by lime.
His eyes revealed sympathy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh softly.
Suddenly, a voice came from his lower abdomen.
Coo coo coo…
It was his stomach.
He was too hungry.
However, unlike the other boys, he didn’t show an uncomfortable expression when he was hungry. Instead, he maintained a calm appearance.
At this moment, a creaking sound came from the courtyard door behind him.
The simple wooden door that was as tall as a half-human was pushed open.
He turned around and saw a young girl in white walking in. She seemed to be carrying a long sword on her back and holding a brown paper pancake in her hand.
After the girl walked in, she casually kicked the door open with her old boots.
The girl walked to his side and shook the sesame seed cake in her hand with a smile. Then, she reached out her hands to the middle of the sesame seed cake. After thinking for a moment, she moved it to one side, making the sesame seed cake bigger and smaller.
Then, the girl squatted on a small stool and handed him the bigger half. As if afraid that he would refuse, she said directly,”When you’re growing, I’ll think of a way to buy some meat tomorrow and make soup for you.”
The little boy silently took the sesame seed cake, crushed a little bit of it, and threw it in front of the ant. Then he said, “”The homes of these ants are gone…”
The girl turned her head to look at him. She knew that the boy was not just talking about ants.
Along the way, the boy had seen too many homeless people. Even her and the boy’s parents were in this chaotic era…It was gone.
The girl suddenly laughed. ” You still have me. I have learned martial arts. In the future, I will become the strongest swordsman, or even a sword immortal. No one will bully us. ”
He turned his head and called out,”Sister…” I can read too. I can go to the streets and write letters for people to earn some copper coins.”
At this moment, Xia Ji was in the boy’s shoes. When the girl entered the door, he did not see her face clearly, but now…He saw it clearly.
With this clear look, his heart that could not have moved for a long time was actually moved.
That was because…
This girl was actually Miao Miao!
There was nothing special about what happened after that. It was just some daily life, a very ordinary daily life.
The girl worked hard to earn money with her martial arts to support her and her brother.
The little boy was also very sensible. He took on some jobs to help people write letters and even copy books. Perhaps because it was close to the temple, he copied a lot of scriptures.
However, the young lady had boundless talent in the sword. She could infer other things from one instance and perfect her sword technique by herself. She could even deduce her sword technique by herself. She could always do things that others could not.
At the end of this story, the boy grew up. He was chosen by the abbot of a large temple, hoping that he could enter the temple and become his closed-door disciple.
The young girl had grown up. Because of her talent, she was chosen by a sword immortal from overseas. That sword immortal took her as his disciple and brought her across the sea to the immortal island to cultivate diligently.
Before they parted ways, the girl stuffed a small jade bead into the boy’s mouth and said with a smile that if the food in the temple was not good, she could use this to improve it.
The moment Xia Ji took the jade bead, he left the strange scene and stood in front of the courtyard door again.
He spread his hands and found that there was really a small jade bead in his palm.
This jade bead was clearly an ordinary bead, but it had become crystal clear at this moment. Seven-colored light surrounded it as if it had a life of its own. It was filled with a surging and powerful force. Its strength was actually comparable to the Sea Calming Pearl. This was simply a miracle.
At this moment, it seemed that his ” experience ” had accelerated the devouring of the Void World. The entire space was being ” gnawed ” at a speed visible to the naked eye.
