Chapter 418: 224. Born into the world, suckled, imprisoned in a cell with the Red Pagoda Visualization (4.2K - Please Subscribe)_2

Not far behind the three people was an immortal town reminiscent of a paradise.

For the powerful, improving their living environment was no difficult feat.

In this immortal town, there were no noisy carriages, bustling crowds, pavilions, delicate stone bridges—it had everything, a complete set of gardens.

Madam Tong, Song An, and others each had their own residences in this town, and aside from them, there were Song Cheng’s grandchildren, many of whom had already started their own families.

The path of cultivation was exceedingly long, and only by maintaining one’s former life could one prevent their psyche from collapsing.

At that moment, Madam Tong looked towards the Blue Sea, sensing the changes there, reminiscing about the man’s appearance in her memories, and a nameless emotion welled up in her heart—it truly was like clouds and dogs passing by, life is but a dream... Back when she was still in Tang River Village, she had never imagined today.

"Let’s head back to town first,"

"Yes, mother."

The three of them returned.

As soon as they entered the town, many people greeted them with calls of "Senior Tong," "Master," "Big sister," and such titles were heard endlessly.

Clearly, in this region, everyone knew that "Madam Tong" was the real mistress.

Tong Jia pushed open the door of her house.

The house was decorated like the An Residence from before.

The spacious courtyard, the quiet pebble path, and a deep well carved under a bamboo tree with a small pavilion covering it and rugged rocks placed beside it.

On both sides of the path were thick moss, lush and lovely, with grass that swayed in the wind as the door opened, very pleasing to the eye.

In the center of the courtyard, there was also a deep pond with many fish swimming around.

This pond was very unusual, connected to the Blue Sea, thus the pond often had strange fish and even demon beasts appearing.

If the master of this courtyard were an ordinary person, this pond would be a deadly place, a "monster outlet."

But as Madam Tong was a Water Spirit personally "sealed" by Song Cheng, she could control the water flow and make all the demon beasts in the area feel close to her, even if the house was crawling with Profound Level demon beasts, they would not harm her at all, instead, they would become protective pets.

The three of them walked into the house, when suddenly, the leading Madam Tong abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Zhao Lingxue and Song An instinctively looked forward and saw a handsome young man sitting in front of the deep pond, casually fishing with a rod in hand.

"Song..." Madam Tong’s voice was tentative; she even dared not to utter the full name of the person in front of her, as complex emotions surged in her heart.

The young man responded generously, "Boss, back from gathering herbs?"

Feeling excited, Song An was about to step forward and call out ’dad’, but he felt his sleeve being tugged. Turning around, he saw his woman pulling on his sleeve, pulling him back.

He immediately understood, carefully stepped back, and then closed the door.

Madam Tong said, "At this time, where is there a need to gather herbs? Moreover, what herbs can be gathered here? Roaming the Blue Sea, we can take whatever we want... It’s just that some herbs don’t grow in the sea, so there’s nothing we can do about it."

Song Cheng just smiled.

He had been continuously absorbing the Taiyin-Taiyang Dual Qi in the Yin-Yang Illusion Realm, unable to stop or leave, so he seized this opportunity to project his consciousness, which was stored in his True Self in the Blue Sea, to find Madam Tong.

Even though they were an old couple, they hadn’t seen each other for many decades, so their reunion was filled with tenderness and affection.

Song Cheng also did not hide anything and told her about what was happening outside.

"So, Minor Accomplishment, Lingxue, and everyone else are already inside your body?" Madam Tong asked in surprise.

Song Cheng nodded.

Madam Tong said, "So you are now absorbing the Taiyin-Taiyang to sustain the operation of the world inside your body?"

Song Cheng nodded again.

Madam Tong didn’t know what else to say; she had never imagined that cultivation could reach the stage where "one person transforms into a realm." Astonished, she eventually added, "Then... then you should eat more, maintaining the operation of the world is not easy, you need to eat well. I... I will go cook."

Song Cheng grabbed her, "Eating won’t be enough."

Madam Tong said, "That’s true."

Song Cheng smiled, "However, I still want to taste your cooking, boss..."

Madam Tong grinned, hearing the calls of "Boss, boss," she seemed to be taken back a long long time ago, so she agreed happily and went off to cook.

Watching her disappearing back, Song Cheng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; he glanced at his panel.

According to the increased data, twenty years had passed.

Reaching a high realm had its downsides.

No matter what you do, it feels like it’s over in an instant.

Before you can react, the outside world has already turned upside down...

Song Cheng was a bit worried about Jing Shifei.

However, he was temporarily helpless.

The Taiyin-Taiyang was still providing him with nutrients, helping him perfect the small world within his body.

He now wished to leave but was unable to.

...

...

"Palace Master Zhang, it’s been twenty years, what more do you want to obtain from me?"

In the cell of the Reappear World, Shi Feng looked indifferently at the celestial-looking middle-aged man opposite him.

Calling him middle-aged was somewhat of an understatement, as there were slight streaks of gray at his temples.

However, because of his handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, it was extremely difficult to notice his aging.

This man was indeed Zhang Daolu.

At this moment, Zhang Daolu’s eyes showed a contemplative expression.

Shi Feng said, "After my master died, I knew that the path of usurping Heaven was not viable. All of you were wrong, which is why you need to constantly struggle and gasp for more breath.

But what’s the use?

Even if you exert all your strength, exhaust your talents, and seize all opportunities, hastily moving from one realm to another to prolong your lifespan,

what awaits you is still the endless cycle of reincarnation."

Zhang Daolu calmly said, "Junior, your master once followed me in learning the way. How dare you spout nonsense? The path of usurping Heaven you speak of, is it not another method of merging with Heaven and Earth?"

Shi Feng sneered twice, saying, "Is it or is it not, don’t you know yourself, Palace Master Zhang? Though I may not have reached your realm, I know... your frequent retreats from the world are not for enlightenment but because you and the Dragon Palace Master are forced to enter the Yin-Yang Illusion Realm to draw from the Taiyin-Taiyang.

But you are not complete, and your absorption only brings you a semblance of relief, which will afterwards... bring more pain that clings to you."

Zhang Daolu remained composed.

Having lived for over twenty thousand years, being the foremost being, his feelings no longer showed on his face.

However, what Shi Feng said was indeed true.

He and Long Xueling, integrating Yin and Yang, always seemed to face problems with their small merged world.

They speculated that the problem stemmed from their cultivation techniques not being perfected and the world being imperfect due to its merged nature.

Over the years, they exerted themselves to the utmost to cultivate, but the way of cultivation was extremely arduous.

Zhang Daolu often wondered, what was cultivating like in ancient times?

He couldn’t know.

But he understood that the current state of the world... was the last era of cultivation, with even the Master of Mountains and Rivers being hard to come by, thus leading to issues of "aging".

Shi Feng continued, "If even perfection isn’t a way out, what then, Palace Master Zhang?"

Zhang Daolu said, "What are you trying to say?"

Shi Feng said, "Why not try my way, Palace Master Zhang? Look at me, am I not living well?"

Zhang Daolu said, "The path of the Mourning Spirit, isn’t that the very question I’ve been asking you all these years? Are you ready to answer now?"

Shi Feng said, "I have always been silent because I could not discern your intentions, Palace Master Zhang, but over these years... each time you appear, your irritation seems to grow with each passing year, clearly usurping Heaven is not beneficial, so I thought to speak."

After saying this, he said, "Since death is inevitable, why run from it?

Death brings a great amount of Yin Qi, and mortals succumb to Yin and are drawn back into reincarnation.

The Qi of Anomalies, however, can merge with Yin Qi, manipulate Yin Qi.

If Yin Qi can be manipulated, then... nothing is a problem anymore.

This is another path after death..."

Zhang Daolu said, "The problem is, the Qi of Anomalies is not reliable."

Shi Feng laughed, "Haven’t you realized... according to your judgment, I’m essentially a dead man already."

Zhang Daolu did not speak, just quietly looked at him.

Shi Feng said, "Since ancient times, there have been those who worship the sun and moon. But the sun and moon are just fleeting; truly eternal is the Sea of Anomalies. Why not worship it, Palace Master Zhang?"

After a long silence, Zhang Daolu still asked, "How to worship?"

Shi Feng said, "I have a ’Red Pagoda Visualization Method.’

With the Red Pagoda, ascending ninety-nine floors, one can meet our Lord... However, the Lord sleeps more than he wakes and is easily angered.

To receive his blessing, you must dispel your Yang Qi and be near death; only then can you meet him.

Do you think the Vice Palace Master of the Li Fire Palace and all those disciples are helping me for nothing?

They are all for this Visualization Method."

Zhang Daolu said, "Being near death, that’s to gather a large amount of Yin Qi, right? If it can be achieved by other means, would that also be possible?"

Shi Feng said, "If there are Divine Skills, naturally it’s possible... Palace Master Zhang, I’ve been imprisoned for twenty years and have reached my limit. If you wish to learn, I can take you to retrieve the jade slip."
