Chapter 204: It Was Just a Trap!
A bottomless abyss.
A calm, tranquil darkness.
Xu Disheng’s remnant consciousness gradually sank deeper into the dark oblivion.
“Who am I?” he murmured to himself inwardly, the moment before his consciousness was completely erased.
But… I was just a piece outside the calculations.
These 20 years were nothing more than a joke.
BOOM!
The moment his thoughts reached that point, a deafening clap of thunder seemed to ring out in the depths of Xu Disheng’s consciousness. A heavenly light as white as snow ripped apart the primal chaos, fully awakening his consciousness that was on the brink of winking out.
20 years?
Then why did the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda not reveal its true face until now?
Was it because it wanted to wait until I cultivated my soul to a powerful enough level so it could swallow me and awaken?
No!
According to what it said earlier, it could escort the ancient golden true spirit to reincarnate at any time, and that I wasn’t important at all!
Then why did he often try to lure me into releasing my mind?
After I refused, the artifact spirit seemed to fly into a rage and revealed that he wanted to completely destroy me! Wasn’t all of that unnecessary if it had the power?
The boundless dark chaos swept and engulfed towards him once more. Xu Disheng’s thoughts spun and spun as he tenaciously maintained his last shred of clarity.
In the deepest depths of my mind is a massive, ancient golden true spirit.
Then… where is my own true spirit?
Xu Disheng seemed to be on the brink of grasping something, but he was missing just that last bit that would allow him to completely dispel these layers upon layers of dense fog.
In the quiet, desolate darkness, the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda released another glow of profound light, tearing through the gloom. It wanted to completely erase his consciousness.
However, a snow white radiance began to gradually shine forth from Xu Disheng’s remnant consciousness. The glow was bright and piercing, thoroughly suppressing the profound light from the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda.
That massive, grandiose golden true spirit… it’s not only the true spirit of the Bodhisattva, but it was also his own true spirit!
It was impossible for the consciousness of the mind to break free from the true spirit and still exist!
The innumerable sauwastika seals on the true spirit weren’t nearly as weak as the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda said.
The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda had no way of harming Xu Disheng because he was its master!
The snow white radiance coming from Xu Disheng’s consciousness whorled and transformed into a white-robed youth. He opened his eyes and looked around at the pervasive darkness, illuminated only by the brilliant profound light. But he didn’t have to resist at all.
Light and shadows flashed, but not a single ripple appeared in Xu Disheng’s mind. When the profound light shone on him, nothing happened.
Sure enough, the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda couldn’t do anything to him!
All the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda could do to him… was cast illusions on him!
When he had lost control over his Soul Force and couldn’t exert any influence over the black Soul Force flute or revolve Soul Song, that was all an illusion laid down by the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda!
The artifact spirit’s intention was to entice him to sink into a death of the heart and eliminate him. It was truly venomous and malicious to the extreme!
The moment of clarity shattered and smashed the boundless darkness. Xu Disheng’s figure glowed with a white radiance, condensing back into existence next to the massive, ancient golden true spirit in the depths of his mind.
In these twenty years, the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda had never taken action against him. It wasn’t because it didn’t want to, but because it simply couldn’t!
That Lord Buddha in Sahā Heaven had been in a deep slumber, but he had still managed to split off a trace of his mind to lay down an inextricable seal on that Bodhisattva’s true spirit during his previous life. The seal was extremely difficult to release!
In his past life, while that Bodhisattva had an all-encompassing power of creation, he never thought for even a second that Lord Buddha, who had been in hibernation for tens of thousands of years, would awaken a bit the very moment he was breaking free of Sahā Heaven.
Ever since the nine realms overthrew the Immortal Court and broke free of the principle of predestination, no living being’s fate was able to be ascertained any longer. As a result, several calamities ago, all divination and prophecy techniques lost their effect, and countless mysterious changes occurred.
But in his past life, the moment when Lord Buddha cast a seal on that Bodhisattva’s true spirit, it gave rise to a consciousness, which was Xu Disheng.
This produced a mysterious phenomenon where there were two consciousnesses simultaneously existing with a single true spirit.
However, one of the consciousnesses, which was as vast as the ocean, was under a seal covered in countless 卍 patterns, submerged in a deep slumber.
The other consciousness was as small as a grain of sand. It had only existed for a short 20 years, but it possessed the same true spirit as that enormous ancient golden true spirit!
From the beginning to the end, the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth had been deceiving him!
It had no way of erasing Xu Disheng, because he was its master.
However… it had exhausted every method at its disposal to harm his mind, trying to force him into a death of the mind. It wanted to completely destroy his consciousness, which had appeared beyond all expectation, and not even leave behind a single trace of his existence.
As Xu Disheng perceived the boundless aura of the ancient golden true spirit before him, the white profound light coming from his consciousness grew stronger. He let out a sigh and said, “You really are a loyal mutt, Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda.”
Soul Force revolved in his sea of consciousness, moving once more like his own arm. His control over the black Soul Force flute was also restored, leaving him with half of his Soul Force. Xu Disheng opened his eyes, looking up at the Primordial Lords and Spirit Masters above him in the skies of the Luminous Cloud Abyss.
With a thought, he attempted to move the power of the ancient golden true spirit at the depths of his mind, but he was instantly met with a reaction!
The tiny 卍 symbols shone through with golden Buddhist light, illuminating his mind. Although it was just a hint, Xu Disheng could rely on this sliver of power from the true spirit to control the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda!
The innumerable 卍 symbols were thoroughly sealing that Bodhisattva’s true spirit and consciousness. But a miraculous change had taken place during his reincarnation, giving rise to Xu Disheng’s consciousness. As a result, Xu Disheng’s mind had a deep connection to the origin source of the sealed golden true spirit!
Although the ancient golden true spirit was sealed, Xu Disheng could still make use of this mental connection through his consciousness to move a tiny hint of the true spirit’s power and exert some control over the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda!
“Artifact spirit. If I have problems, would you be able to escort me to safely leave the Shangqing Sacred Sect with your current abilities?” Xu Disheng asked the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda in his sea of consciousness as he watched Spirit Controlling Primordial Lord descending from the highest clouds of the Luminous Cloud Abyss, about to land in front of him.
After Xu Disheng had used his unrivaled powers of comprehension to establish a link with a tiny hint of power from the golden true spirit, the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda had fallen completely silent, not making a single sound.
And now, under the impetus of the power of the true spirit, it had no choice but to respond. “I can, as long as those Clone Avatar stage youngsters don’t take action.”
It had lost.
It hadn’t met defeat in any other way. It was simply defeated by Xu Disheng’s unparalleled powers of comprehension.
No one could have surmised that all of Xu Disheng’s guesses thus far were practically the same as the real facts!
After Xu Disheng’s mind had reawakened, the relationship between him and the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda should have gone back to how it was before, with Xu Disheng being unable to control it, and it being unable to do anything about Xu Disheng.
But in the artifact spirit’s efforts to sink Xu Disheng’s mind into oblivion, it had revealed the existence of the real golden true spirit at the depths of Xu Disheng’s mind. But after Xu Disheng comprehended the real truth behind everything, he could use that mysterious origin connection to move a hint of the golden true spirit’s power!
The true spirit was the master, and the Black Sky Yellow Earth was the artifact. The power dynamic had instantly reversed, and the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth had fallen to a completely passive position.
“Remember, you are nothing more than a dog before me,” Xu Disheng said, a hint of glacial coldness flashing through his eyes. He didn’t flare up in anger, but simply revolved his Soul Force to quell his surging emotions back to tranquility.
During the struggle to the death at the depths of his mind, only a few breaths of time had passed in the Luminous Cloud Abyss. Spirit Controlling Primordial Lord landed in front of Xu Disheng, a hint of avarice hidden deep in his gaze.
