The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 422
Chapter 422 An Epiphany
The Immortal Gold in Li Qing’s hand emitted a rainbow light that dispersed the surrounding clouds. Then, he waved his hand and easily moved Dongfang Bingyun’s father out.
The Eastern Traveling Dragon was instantly transferred out, and for a moment, it was somewhat dumbfounded, unable to turn its head around. Seeing the surroundings of the sea of illusions, the blue sky and white clouds, his heart was filled with disbelief.
Was this really happening? Or was it an illusion? He was already frightened by the illusion. He was extremely cautious and almost didn’t believe everything.
“Let’s go. Let’s explain slowly on the way.” Li Qing said.
“Alright!” Dongfang Bingyun smiled brightly and was extremely happy. She held her father’s arm and refused to let go.
Regardless of whether Dongfang You Long Xiang believed it or not, he would be able to bring him out first. After a long time, he would naturally understand what was going on. Li Qing shone with rainbow light, opening a passage through the thick white smoke and leading them forward.
Along the way, Dongfang You Long saw that he had actually left the illusion and walked out of the fog. His heart finally trembled, and he said, “Is this true? Are you really my daughter?”
“Of course it’s true! You’ve been missing for several years. We all thought you were dead, so we came in to look for your body. The heavens didn’t let down those who had their hearts. After endless hardships, they finally found you, but you thought I was fake.” Dongfang Bingyun said angrily and amusedly.
The few of them chatted along the way and explained the matter clearly. Only then did Dongfang You Long completely believe in the fact that he had been saved.
“I didn’t expect that I would actually come out alive! I was also frightened by the illusion, so I misunderstood that you were fake.” Dongfang You Long was a little embarrassed.
Dongfang Bingyun covered his mouth and smiled. Obviously, he was very happy. He said, “Father, have you been trapped in an illusion for the past few years?”
“That’s right! When I saw the phantom of the Penglai Immortal Mountain, I was so excited that I wanted to step forward. However, I accidentally entered the illusion and was unable to get out again. Fortunately, my spatial ring is full of materials, so I was able to last for such a long time.” Dongfang You Long was scared for a moment, “It’s all thanks to you that you were able to enter such a dangerous place to save me. Otherwise, I would be dead.”
Most of the illusions in the Sea of Illusions didn’t have any direct lethality. They only trapped people inside. It was normal for the Eastern Wandering Dragon to be alive for such a long time.
“We have to rely on Li Qing to get here!” Dongfang Bingyun’s beautiful eyes were filled with a strange light when she saw the man beside her. “Thanks to Li Qing’s help, I was able to save my father. Otherwise, even I would have died in the Sea of Illusion. I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime!”
“This is what I should do.” Li Qing said modestly.
“What a young genius! Not bad, not bad! I’m very optimistic about you, young man.” Dongfang You Long praised repeatedly and saw Li Qing’s gaze filled with satisfaction.
Being looked at like this by these two fathers and daughters, Li Qing’s heart couldn’t help but be scared. Why did this gaze … feel a little strange?
“By the way, can you really control the Abbot Immortal Mountain?” Dongfang You Long asked in disbelief.
“That’s right! Li Qing obtained the acknowledgement of the Immortal Gold’s owner, so he obtained the power of the Abbot Immortal Mountain!” Dongfang Bingyun nodded. “This matter is of great importance. Father, please keep it a secret. Don’t leak it out. Otherwise, it will cause great trouble for Li Qing.”
“An Immortal Mountain is actually under your control!” Dongfang You Long sucked in a breath of cold air. “Don’t worry, Li Qing is my savior. How could I be so ungrateful? I will definitely keep this matter a secret.”
“I trust senior.” Li Qing nodded.
“Let’s go to the Abbot Immortal Mountain. I want to see what this Immortal Mountain looks like.” Dongfang You Long was a little excited.
Li Qing had nothing to lose. Anyway, he was in control of the Immortal Mountain. This matter was only a simple matter, so he brought the two of them back to the Abbot Immortal Mountain quickly.
Seeing the appearance of the Abbot Immortal Mountain, Dongfang You Long’s eyes were filled with shock. “What a spiritual land of an immortal mountain! What a rich spiritual energy! If it were in the outside world, such an immortal mountain would be enough to become the foundation of a sect in a great sacred land.”
“Unfortunately, in the Sea of Illusions, there are boundless illusions blocking us. Ordinary people are simply unable to reach this place.” Dongfang Bingyun said.
“I didn’t expect that I would be able to see an immortal mountain in my lifetime! Let’s go, let’s go to the top of the mountain and take a look.” Dongfang You Long said anxiously.
Originally, the main purpose of Dongfang You Long entering the Sea of Illusion was to pluck the supreme immortal fruit from the Penglai Immortal Mountain and comprehend the unity of heaven and man. Although this Abbot Immortal Mountain did not have such a wonderful thing, it should still be useful.
It was at least an immortal mountain. Perhaps, he could comprehend something from the core of the mountain peak, allowing him to take a step further.
Li Qing waved his hand and saw a cloud bridge condense and lead to the top of the mountain. The few of them climbed onto the Cloud Bridge and carried them forward. Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
“The peak of the mountain is the core area. It is extremely rich in spiritual energy. Moreover, this stone forest is created by the natural luck of heaven and earth. There is a faint Dao charm that can help you comprehend the Dao with half the effort.” Dongfang Bingyun introduced to her father.
“That’s right, it is indeed a wonderful thing! Although the effect is definitely not comparable to the Immortal Fruit of Penglai Immortal Mountain, it is still a great opportunity for me.” Dongfang You Long praised.
The three of them walked through the stone forest, feeling the dao aura emanating from this world. In three or two steps, they arrived at the center of the stone forest, the original location of the Immortal Gold.
After the Immortal Gold was taken away by Li Qing, this place was left empty, leaving behind a circular mark.
Li Qing pointed at the circular mark in the middle and said, “This is the place where Immortal Gold was born.”
“The legendary supreme immortal gold was born here? If immortal gold is a life born from heaven and earth, then this is the mother’s placenta.” Dongfang You Long walked to the location of the Immortal Gold and stopped.
He slowly closed his eyes and entered a mysterious state.
Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment.
“Your father should have entered a state of epiphany. Perhaps he might have a chance to comprehend the unity of heaven and man. Let’s temporarily retreat and not disturb him.” Li Qing whispered.
The two of them quietly left.
When they were far away, Dongfang Bingyun said, “This time, I’ll trouble you again. Originally, we just left Fangzhang Immortal Mountain not long ago, but because of father, we returned again, wasting your time.”
“In any case, the spiritual energy here is so abundant that it is very beneficial for cultivation. It is not a bad thing to stay here for a while longer.” Li Qing smiled.
One day passed, but Dongfang You Long still hadn’t woken up. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the stone forest, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth.
Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun secretly came over to take a look. Seeing that he hadn’t woken up yet, they left.
“In the center of the stone forest, there was originally the location where the Immortal Gold was born. It contained the power of heaven and earth. It has an unbelievable function. But we never thought of this before. We almost missed out on such a precious land.” Li Qing said.
“Fortunately, we came back and discovered the wonders of this place. I wonder if father can successfully comprehend the unity of heaven and man.” Dongfang Bingyun’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
A few days had passed, but Dongfang You Long still hadn’t woken up. He tightly closed his eyes and entered an inexplicable state.
Taoist charms flowed over and converged towards the center, faintly resonating with each other.
Dongfang Bingyun was a little worried. After all, her father had just escaped from his trap and had survived the calamity. He didn’t know if his body could withstand it. Xiantian experts were also human beings. Perhaps they could not eat or drink for a short period of time, but it would be impossible for them to do so for a long time.
Ten whole days passed. When Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun came to the stone forest again, they saw Dongfang You Long suddenly open his eyes. It was as if a burst of lightning had flashed, illuminating the void. Then, it quickly disappeared, becoming peaceful and quiet, returning to its original state.
Li Qing could clearly feel that Dongfang You Long’s essence and spirit had changed. His gaze was even deeper and emitted an aura of transcendence.
“Father, you finally woke up. Did you succeed?” Dongfang Bingyun said in surprise.
“That’s right, Father has successfully sensed the unity of heaven and man!” Dongfang You Long laughed heartily and was extremely happy.
“Did you really succeed?” Dongfang Bingyun was shocked. Even though he had already prepared himself, he still found the answer unbelievable when he heard the affirmative answer.
Li Qing was also very surprised. Unity of Heaven and Man was so easy to comprehend?
“Of course. How could a father lie to you?” Dongfang You Long laughed.
“This is unbelievable! Am I dreaming?” Dongfang Bingyun looked up and down at her father for a while, wanting to see what was different.
“Father has been stuck at this checkpoint for a very long time. He has accumulated a lot. All he lacks is an opportunity. Coincidentally, the Heaven Earth Dao charm here has touched me. With a flash of spiritual light in his heart, he succeeded.” Dongfang You Long said.
In fact, many Xiantian Tenth Stage experts in this world had accumulated a lot. They were only lacking an opportunity and a little bit of luck, similar to the situation of the Eastern Traveling Dragon.
If he was lucky, he might have a successful epiphany in a flash. If he was unlucky, he might not be able to succeed even if he died.
The unity of heaven and man was so mysterious, profound, and irregular.
It’s not like you’re a genius, so you’ll definitely be able to comprehend it. Sometimes, an inconspicuous figure might suddenly realize something one day, and compare to countless geniuses.
“Wait a moment, let me merge with the Heaven and Earth Dharma!” Dongfang You Long said.
He released his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, gradually solidified in the sky, and slowly flew downwards.
The gigantic Sun Magic Phase slowly descended, giving people a huge sense of pressure. As he descended, he slowly shrunk down, pouring down from the head of the Eastern Wandering Dragon and merging with his entire body.
Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms and fleshly bodies merged into one. Only by completing this most crucial step would one truly be able to merge heaven and man into one.
Once the Heaven and Earth Dharma combined with the human body, one would basically be able to reach the Void Realm in the future.
The Eastern Wandering Dragon successfully fused with the Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms, stepped into the void, and successfully flew up. It stood out of thin air like an immortal in the world.
