Chapter 1437: Chapter 833: A New Path to Transcendence
Sometimes, one thing can outweigh a thousand words.
The Heavenly Star Mirror is a Spiritual Treasure of the Chi Yun Cave. It was initially requested to be taken out by Mao Feng and others, and with their deaths, it disappeared.
Now seeing it again, yet it is in the hands of Shen Yi.
Chi Yunzi could certainly continue deceiving himself, claiming the mirror was seized from a monk by the other party, but such self-deception seems rather pointless.
As a Golden Immortal, having personally witnessed so many things, it’s impossible not to have doubts in his heart… More so, he probably just doesn’t want to think in that direction.
His eye twitched slightly as he vigorously rubbed the mirror handle, the smooth surface reflecting a face devoid of spirit.
“Is this considered an insult?”
Chi Yunzi gradually revealed a wry smile. He once told many fellow disciples whether straightforward people deserved to be bullied.
Back then, he thought Shen Yi was similar to him, standing alone against You Yao without retreating half a step, daring to speak openly about the unavenged vengeance of a former master in front of Ling Xuzi, and proactively standing up for Chu Xi’s disciples.
That was why Chi Yun Cave offered its full support later.
Now, does the other party want to show off that Shen Yi had been toying with him all along?
“Think however you want.”
Shen Yi did not explain, just tossed aside a blood-stained stone stick, sat casually next to Chi Yunzi, lazily propping his legs, his elbows on the ground, somewhat absent-mindedly gazing at the horizon.
Chi Yunzi withdrew his smile, closing his eyes.
The most hateful thing about the matter is that even now, he doesn’t believe Shen Yi is the type of person he spoke of.
The other party is still a person of character, it’s just that their positions differ.
“But why?” He opened his eyes, looking sideways in confusion.
“What do you mean, why?” Shen Yi looked on calmly.
“A certain position isn’t unchangeable; you could have obtained something better…” Chi Yunzi’s lips quivered, leaving many things unsaid, yet everyone understood in their hearts.
With Shen Yi’s disposition and strength, he could have entirely chosen a better path; even if the two sects intended to select a puppet Immortal Emperor, if that Immortal Emperor truly had the capability to earn the heartfelt reverence of the sect members, things could have been different.
Why has it come to this—being rejected by both sects, living in tense days always on guard against the Transcendence Sect Leader’s approach?
Shen Yi sighed lightly, squinting at the old Golden Immortal: “Is it possible that the things you all deem precious, I genuinely find very uninteresting?”
The Immortal Emperor is the Lord of Heaven and Earth, possessing overwhelming power.
If someone else said they looked down on this, it would only draw mocking looks, but at such a point, this young man seemed to have no reason to lie.
Chi Yunzi stared blankly at that handsome face; instead of getting an answer, he became increasingly confused.
If even the Immortal Emperor’s position is uninteresting, then what is interesting?
Shen Yi pointed at the Azure Sky: “Today, I killed this group of Golden Immortals, so the Yuqing Sect Master will come forward to avenge them. If I kill the Joyful Buddha in the Imperial City, even the Present Buddha won’t turn a blind eye. Even those True Gods, after you bullied them, know to invite the Ancestor God.
The young man’s fingertip slowly lowered, pointing to the Human World.
“What about them, what will they do?”
The calm query left Chi Yunzi speechless. He followed the gaze of the finger; as a Golden Immortal with infinite Lifespan Years, who would care about how a group of ephemeral creatures think?
This is not cold and unfeeling, but an inevitable result of being tempered by time.
The first time seeing life and death, naturally, the heart is touched; but what if one sees it millions of times, with every exit from seclusion, the world has changed, and everything familiar has vanished.
In such a situation, only those with similar lifespans, who can at least accompany them for a while, can truly be considered.
This is also why the two sects are not afraid of the Human Emperor’s Transcendence.
Once he takes this step, that ambitious man will always come to realize who is his longtime companion through this life.
“What you said doesn’t sound much like a cultivator.”
Chi Yunzi helplessly lowered his gaze.
“I’ve only cultivated for over twenty years; it’s normal not to seem like it.”
Shen Yi’s one sentence promptly caused the old Golden Immortal to lift his head in shock, his face displaying even more dread than when witnessing Shen Yi crush a group of immortals with a single palm.
He struggled to swallow, but couldn’t suppress his fear and astonishment.
Over twenty years, before the Great Calamity, for an Immortal, it’s not even enough for one debate, yet now it has nurtured an anomaly above the Six Emperors!
“So… do you want to be someone standing behind the Human World, holding up this sky for all living beings?”
Chi Yunzi finally digested this, attempting to interpret the young man’s thoughts from a “human” perspective. When he felt he finally understood, he looked up but met the young man’s peculiar gaze.
“What do you take me for, a Saint?”
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at the old Golden Immortal, lazily stretching his arms, nonchalantly said: “Holding up the sky for others is very tiring; I just want to blend in among them, marry, have children, and then eat and wait for death.”
“Of course, to ensure that in waiting for death, I won’t randomly have the city be destroyed by demons, or fall into some Lao Shizi drought, with wailing cries aggravating my mood.”
“So, I have to drive you all out first.”
