My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 785: Teaching the Dao of Heavenly Mandate
The anomalies in the Netherworld quickly reached the ears of the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher through Old Man Baili.
The Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher was well aware of the Netherworld’s intentions regarding breaching the barrier. Just like when the Immortal Realm Gods and Demons descended, when their own world was on the brink of destruction, they would naturally try everything to seize the land of others.
However, the fact that the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld intended to kill Qin Jian’an caught the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher greatly off guard. He pondered for a long time but couldn’t understand the reason behind it.
As the saying goes, abnormal circumstances must have demonic causes. The unknown is the source of all disasters, so he has to guard against it.
The Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher closed his eyes slightly, intending to use divination to determine the purpose behind the other party’s actions. However, as soon as the qi within his body circulated, his brow suddenly split open, and blood gushed out, staining his white clothes red in no time.
Having suffered from the backlash of the Heavenly Mandate for years, the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher was already at his limit.
The reason behind the decision to kill Father Qin must involve significant karmic entanglements, which resulted in such a severe backlash!
Taking a deep breath, with the circulation of a stream of clear qi within his body, the split on his brow slowly healed, and the red blood on his white clothes gradually faded away like receding tide.
Since divination was not feasible, the only option left was to take the initiative!
Fortunately, with the Netherworld planning to invade this realm through the Gate of Hell, it provided them with an opportunity to venture into the Netherworld!
And this was the opportunity that the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher had been waiting for!
“It’s time.”
The old man with white hair murmured to himself, then turned to look at the Star Observatory. He raised both hands and gently pressed down.
The Star Observatory began to rotate, emitting beams of white light that outlined the pattern of The Great Qian in the void!
As the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher lightly tapped his finger, stars lit up in several regions of The Great Qian.
And the final place where his finger landed was the location of the Imperial City!
The sun rose the next day, and when the sun enveloped the earth, the soldiers stationed there and the Divine Marquis Army suddenly discovered something.
“Did you hear that?”
“It seems like the earth is trembling?”
“Maybe another reckless ghost general wants to come here.”
“Seeking death, eh? It’s Lord Zhen Tianyi who has been guarding the city lately!”
In the past, when ghost generals crossed the barrier and came here, the trembling of the void often caused disturbances, and they were used to it.
However, as the commotion grew more intense, everyone began to realize that something was wrong.
“Could it be that a big shot has come this time? Why is the tremor lasting so long?”
“Quick, go and check over there.”
As soon as the man spoke, there was a loud bang, and the entire Jinyang City seemed to be violently tossed like a boat on the sea being struck by giant waves.
“What’s going on?” Yu Mei asked, furrowing her brow.
On the outskirts of Jinyang City in the Southern Region, Zhen Tianyi looked towards the fissure between the Netherworld and this realm, only to see billowing black qi emerging, forming a giant hand that viciously tore open the gap.
Subsequently, the black qi poured out like an inverted waterfall, accumulating over the skies of Jinyang City.
Everyone in the Southern Region was astonished.
The clouds, black clouds, seemed abyssal as they rolled out from the sky above Jinyang City.
The daylight was instantly devoured by the black clouds, causing panic among the people.
Within the black clouds, Zhen Tianyi sensed a powerful aura.
One, two, three… More and more, denser and denser!
As a corner of the black clouds dispersed, Ji Kang led a group of ghost soldiers and generals, looking down at everyone with a look of disdain.
Zhen Tianyi’s expression turned solemn as he took down his long knife from his back, preparing for battle.
This was the first time a transcendence realm entity from the Netherworld had crossed the rift into this realm!
In the Grand Literature Academy, Qin Feng felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart. Before ascending the Heavenly Tower, he seemed to sense something, turning his head to the south.
It was a cloudless day, clear and sunny. What could be unusual?
He saw nothing, but with doubts in his mind, he quickly ascended the tower, eager to meet the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher.
As usual, the teacher stood with his hands behind his back, gazing upon the world.
However, unlike before, there was no freshly prepared hot tea on the table, and the Star Observatory, which had always been silent, was now constantly rotating, outlining the patterns of The Great Qian’s four domains with bright white light, with several points of starlight shining brightly.
Before Qin Feng could speak, the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher leisurely asked, “Since you entered the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, how many years has it been?”
Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the teacher would ask such a question. After careful recollection, he replied, “Less than three years.”
“Less than three years, and you’ve already reached the second rank of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. Throughout history, you should be the first.”
“All of this is thanks to the teacher.”
This statement was true. If it weren’t for the fortuitous encounter with Master Baili and the absorbing the Literature Qi from Listen To Rain Pavilion, he might have struggled to enter the Literature Saint Dao Lineage in his entire life.
Subsequently, with the continuous guidance from Old Man Baili, his cultivation steadily improved.
After entering the Imperial City, he encountered the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher and Senior Xuan Yi, which greatly facilitated his cultivation path.
Of course, his rapid progress was also due to numerous life-and-death experiences and enlightenments. But how many people could experience so much in just a few years?
His achievements today were the result of both hard work and indispensable opportunities.
The Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher turned around and walked slowly to Qin Feng’s side, scrutinizing him. In his wise eyes, there was a hint of wisdom.
Qin Feng felt uncomfortable under the intense gaze of the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher. Just as he was about to inquire, he saw the teacher place his palm on his forehead.
“Teacher, what are you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the starlight on the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher’s palm lit up, and the brilliant starlight from the Star Observatory in the hall continuously converged towards Qin Feng.
Qin Feng couldn’t help but cry out in pain. At that moment, it felt as if countless needles were stabbing into his brain, causing excruciating pain.
The Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher did not stop his action but slowly said, “The Heavenly Mandate involves countless causes and effects. It requires the integration of the Qi of this realm with oneself to gradually comprehend it.”
“Qin Feng, everything you have done in the past is intertwined with the karma of countless people. The convergence of your Destiny Star is the best proof. Only someone like you can accept the Heavenly Mandate and become the next leader.”
While Qin Feng was suffering from the splitting headache, he was also shocked. The teacher’s actions were actually to impart the Dao of Heavenly Mandate to him!
But this kind of pain, almost tearing apart his soul, far exceeded anything he had experienced before, making him feel the urge to retreat.
“The original plan was to proceed gradually and let you slowly comprehend this path. However, for this realm, there is not much time to give you such an opportunity.”
“I can only think of this method to help you step into the threshold of the Dao of Heavenly Mandate in a short time. I know it’s very painful, unbearable for ordinary people. If you can’t hold on, just blink at me, and I will stop. But the chance to gather the Qi of The Great Qian around you is only once. If you give up, there will be no next time.”
Qin Feng understood the seriousness of the situation. He also realized that the teacher’s choice to impart the Dao of Heavenly Mandate to him in this way at this time indicated that the current situation was indeed precarious.
But this kind of pain, like being tortured, like being cooked in boiling oil, was truly indescribable, and it was gradually breaking down his defenses.
Just when he couldn’t hold on any longer and wanted to give up, he saw that the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher in front of him had his eyes closed.
His face was ferocious because of the pain, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. In this case, how could the teacher see him blink?
The quintessence of the Chinese nation came out of his heart, and he just wished he could shout it out.
