The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 1020 Interstellar Crossing

Chuzhou City is still as bustling and bustling as it was hundreds of years ago, but even people who have lived here for generations seldom remember that it used to be a capital city - that country is called Da Chu, and there is a very strange last emperor.

On the contrary, people often still think of the Master Zhang and the more famous Mr. Zhang in the unofficial history.The specific reason is naturally that the Zhang family is still the leading big family in Chuzhou City, even if it is extremely influential in the whole world.

It is said that the brilliance of a gentleman will be cut for five generations.Mr. Zhang is not considered a gentleman, so it can only be counted from his father Zhang Dashi. It has been more than ten generations, and the Zhang family is still so prosperous, which has to be said to be an anomaly.Many people are rumoring that the Zhang family is blessed by gods, and even some people in the Zhang family say that they have seen their ancestors appear.

That being the case, the Zhang family's ancestral hall is naturally well maintained, but the incense burner from hundreds of years ago has long gone, the smoke is naturally gone, and many wells that used to spread throughout the mansion have also been sealed.

The fiery red carp has also been moved from the well to the golden basin, to the pond, and now lives in a large lake.

That big lake is so misty that you can't see the other side in rainy and foggy days.

One can imagine how big the Zhang family is now.

After the fire carp becomes an adult, even if it's just a spirit body, it still has incomparable magic power, and it doesn't need to be seen by mortals at all.

Every morning after eating and morning dew, it will swim to the shore, wagging its tail, as if performing for someone.

An old man stood on the shore, looking at it with a dazed look in his eyes, feeling a little dazed.

The morning light shone on him, but it actually penetrated directly, leaving no shadow behind.

The maids and servants of the Zhang family were busy back and forth by the lake with basins and utensils, but no one looked at him.

As the breeze blew, the lotus leaves trembled slightly, and Jing Jiu landed on them.

Huo Li looked at him and exclaimed, "My real man, why did you come in? Could it be that you lost too, and your body was taken away, so you had to hide in with your soul? That old man is really powerful, you just stay here .”

Old Mrs. Zhang suddenly regained consciousness, and scolded: "Who are you talking about, the old man?"

Jing Jiu said to Huo Li, "The person you mentioned is dead."

"Dead?" Huo Li was startled, and said, "That's good."

It looked at Mrs. Zhang who was still cursing, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and said, "This guy died many years ago, but he didn't know it. He stands here every day, like a fool."

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Stupid fish, who are you talking about? You just died!"

He looked at Jing Jiu on the lotus leaf, and said a little depressed, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, but I just can't remember."

Jing Jiu landed in front of him and patted his shoulder.

The insubstantial meeting of hands and shoulders brought a breeze.

He picked up the breeze with his fingers, and went to the palace after a moment of meditation.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, the imperial palace has not changed much.

It's just that without the emperor, naturally there will be no more court meetings and state affairs, and it has long since become a palace that no one cares about.

Jing Jiu returned to his palace, looked at the floor with some scratches, and thought for a moment.

He looked back and lit a lamp, although it was out of oil.

Next, he went to Zhao's palace, and under the chestnut tree, he saw the figure of the emperor again.

The other party really has a shadow.

After hundreds of years, Emperor Zhao's ghostly aura faded a lot, and he was about to complete his transformation into a real person.

"I don't know how I woke up, and I don't know if I'm still alive."

Emperor Zhao's face was as pale as before, and he asked, "Where is my wife? Will she come back after death?"

Jing Jiu said, "I don't know."

Emperor Zhao was silent for a while, and then asked: "What... Where is your father-in-law?"

Jing Jiu said, "He's dead, and he won't come back."

After saying this, he left Qingtianjian.

After Qingtianjian left Chaotian Continent, the flow of time obviously changed again.

When he opened his eyes and returned to the real world, the island has ushered in a new morning.

"How?" Zhao Layue asked, staring into his eyes.

"The soul can exist alone."

Jing Jiu said: "But Qingtianjian is a relatively closed system, and the total amount of internal existence remains unchanged."

Zhao Layue said: "Although this universe is constantly expanding, it is a relatively closed system."

The meaning of this sentence is that since the soul can exist in Qingtian Jian, it should also be able to exist here.

Jing Jiu said, "You forgot about the sea of ​​dark things."

This sentence made Coconut Grove quiet down.

The waves beat gently on the beach, but they didn't dare to make too much noise.

The robot came by in the morning light.

"You have to live, of course not to save mankind." Shen Yunbu got rid of yesterday's emotions and resumed his usual loose tone, "It's just that it's too bad if they all die."

Jing Jiu agreed with his point of view and said, "But my body can't hold it."

The robot bent down, and the control room opened, revealing Shen Yun's buried face.He stared into Jing Jiu's eyes and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? You are not such a person, so be brave, okay?"

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, "Babies are the most curious, but they are also most afraid of the dark."

At this time, Tong Yan and Que Niang came out of the cave and brought a chessboard to the beach.

The chessboard is densely covered with black and white chess pieces, which naturally form a picture, and there is a hidden truth in it.

"There is a kind of spirit-binding formation in the foreign continent. I studied it with Que Niang and got some inspiration."

Tong Yan pointed to those chess pieces and said, "We can set up a similar formation, and use the remaining formation pivots to absorb energy, which can ensure that your soul won't have to worry about dissipating for more than ten years."

Jing Jiu knew that this formation should be useful, so he shook his head and said, "Then I might as well go to Qingtianjian."

Tong Yan said, "You know it's different."

Jing Jiu said calmly, "I don't want to retire."

Shen Yunbu praised loudly: "Beautiful!"

Since that child took his first human step on the beach, he can only go forward, not backward.

Jing Jiu looked at Liu Shisui and said, "Is there a light?"

Liu Shisui poked around for a while, and took out an antique bronze lamp.

The previous generation of immortals who had been watching the movement here were a little agitated.

Master Shen Da had an ugly face and said, "Why did the concentration lamp of our sect fall into your hands?"

Liu Shisui didn't know how to explain it, so he looked at Zhao Layue again.

Zhao Layue said: "Penglai Treasure Ship King gave it to me. If you have any objections, ask him when he ascends."

Jing Jiu slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with the remaining three fingers.

There was a soft snap.

There was a little flame in the bronze lamp.

The sound was not loud, but it woke Ah Da who was curled up in a ball to sleep.

It suddenly felt a little warm on its body, turned its head to look, and found a child squatting beside it, stroking itself.

This was the first time it saw Jing Jiu's spirit, it couldn't help being startled, and meowed several times.

The touching of the soul was not a real touch, and the child couldn't feel the smoothness of the cat's fur. The child stood up a little disappointed.

With his hands behind his back, he is not as vague and transparent as yesterday, but a little substantive. I don't know if it's because he rested in his body for a while or he has cultivated some spirits in the Qingtianjian.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Layue felt the thought of him leaving and became a little nervous.

"I want to learn how to pet a cat, and I'll be back in a few days."

After Jing Jiu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

No matter whether it was Zhao Layue, Liu Shisui or the immortals on the island, none of them noticed how he disappeared, let alone where he went now.

Shen Yunbu suddenly shouted: "Stare at that lamp."

Only then did people know what Jing Jiu meant.

Zhuo Rusui appeared out of nowhere, and waved his hand to form a Chengtian sword formation, protecting the bronze lamp in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Yan and Que Niang made two formations and set them up further outside.

All eyes fell on the bronze lamp, to be precise, on the flame.

That should be Jing Jiu's soul fire, the mark he left behind to help him find his way back.

I don't know why, but with the protection of the formation, the flame is still shaking.

Where does the wind come from?

Everyone is very nervous. If the flame goes out, what does that mean?

……

……

There is a rock in front of you.

It's shale.

The screen zooms in rapidly.

Gray-green into more subtle things.

See crystals.

see molecule.

See smaller.

And finally the particles.

The traces of particles are like light flow, but elusive.

There is a battle ahead.

It turns out that the formation can also be seen.

Everything in front is being cut and made smaller.

That's not what the eye can see.

At this time, his life is no longer an ordinary form of life.

It's a very different means of perception.

If it were an ordinary human being who suddenly saw the world subdivided into atoms or even smaller particles before his eyes, he would be confused or even go crazy in such an original picture.

Fortunately, this method of perception is somewhat close to probing with spiritual consciousness, and he can still adapt.

No sense of direction either.

When walking towards Shen Qingshan on the beach, he already discovered that he could not feel gravity.

In a world without gravity, naturally there is no distinction between up, down, left, and right, a bit like being in deep space.

What can help him find his way seems to be his consciousness itself.

The particles that have been cut into pieces pass through his vision and body—if he still has a body—he who is going upstream naturally also passes through the matter composed of those particles, and keeps moving forward.

In other words, the physical world cannot prevent him from traveling through it at will.

……

……

He travels freely on this planet.

In a cautious style, he did not go deep into the hottest regions of the core, but only walked within the crust.

In those rock formations, he discovered many underground spaces and saw many relics of the childhood of human civilization.

No matter the ruins or the database compiled by Shen Qingshan, they couldn't make him stay for a while.

The gods told him when to give birth is more important, the meaning of this sentence is to know the beginning.

He admits that there is some truth to this sentence, but he is still more used to looking forward and moving forward.

In just a few seconds, he circled the planet three times.

There is some kind of strange energy fluctuation on the sea floor ahead.

With a slight movement of his mind, he appeared there.

The stone slabs were scattered on the ground, soaked by sea water.

Countless black obelisks are either upside down or inclined.

He knew that this was the hub of the solar system sword array.

Consciousness converges.

The child appeared above those black obelisks.

The sea water slowly moved, forming countless turbulent currents.

Blue arcs passed from one black obelisk to another, getting brighter and brighter.

Child opens arms.

Countless blue electric arcs left the black stone tablet and entered his body.

I don't know how long it took, those blue arcs disappeared.

The black stele ushered in complete death and became a tombstone.

He felt the meaning in those blue electric arcs, and vaguely understood something.

The soul has no body, only consciousness.

If he wants to contact and communicate with the world, and to touch the cat, he must get used to the method of perception.

In Shen Qingshan's words, that is thinking.

He closed his eyes, began to perceive the world, and went to all parts of the planet.

It's not the consciousness one by one, but he is getting bigger.

Gradually, his perception spread all over the planet.

This also means that the entire planet is in his arms.

……

……

Coconut grove, sea breeze, morning sun.

It's a very beautiful picture, but it looks a little weird because of the extremely tense atmosphere.

Everyone stared at the light.

Zhao Layue, Tong Yan, and Zhuo Rusui stared at those former immortals.

A breeze came and fell on everyone's faces.

Everyone felt something strange and looked around one after another.

Some people look at the sky, others look at the sea.

No one knows where the wind comes from, and feelings vary.

Some feel warm, some feel cold, and some feel lazy.

Some people think he has gone further.

……

……

On the first day, he learned to walk.

The next day, he learned to communicate with the world outside him.The communication here is not as simple as a dialogue, but an exchange of information in a broad sense, and the method is different from any existing information exchange method in the universe.

At this time, he has come to the sun.

Looking down at the huge burning fireball, he remembered something.

He has been to another sun, walked on the surface.

Even if the temperature on the surface of the star is not too exaggerated, it is difficult for immortals to survive on it.

He was special before, and he is even more special now.

He drifted towards the sun, getting closer and closer, and even directly passed through an extremely hot jet stream.

There were no problems until entering a certain area, when something changed.

Some extremely thin ionospheres appeared around him.

Did the world perceive his presence?

No.

He began to stretch his perception again.

It didn't take long for his range of perception to expand to an unimaginable extent, enveloping the entire sun.

Then there is convergence.

He was on the other side of the sun.

Is this another form of crossing?

Then he saw the black obelisk.
