Chapter 60: Chapter 59: People of Daxing, the Buddha Appears in the Void!
"Qiankun Divination Spirit Talisman..."
Chang Qingzi crouched down, gently touching the shallow engravings of the talisman, a tempest of shock surged within his heart.
This talisman was more than familiar to him; through three years of relentless practice, every stroke of the talisman was engraved into his flesh and blood.
The talisman inscribed on the floor was precisely the Divination Talisman of the Spirit Yao Dao Sect.
Though this talisman only held its form without capturing the secrets of heaven, it was enough to leave Chang Qingzi awestruck.
Daoist talismans are inscribed with Dao script, each stroke infused with specific meaning and energy.
They are bridges communicating with the universe, and even the slightest error in their patterns results in futile failure.
"I was called an unprecedented Divination Sacred Body by my master, destined to be a divine seer possessing knowledge of heaven’s secrets."
"Yet, despite this, it took me a year’s hard study to simple mastery in drawing the Divination Talisman without error."
"Even then, the teacher marveled as if seeing a person of miraculous talent, muttering about how he finally had a worthy successor..."
Chang Qingzi softly murmured, watching Su Changqing’s departing figure in the distance,
"Yet this person... only saw me condense symbols in the void twice, and actually... managed to flawlessly draw the Divination Talisman!"
Chang Qingzi’s eyes gleamed with shock and disbelief.
He couldn’t comprehend what terrifying speed of learning enabled one to draw the talisman’s body with mere two glimpses.
If there were any slight errors in condensing symbols in the void, it simply would not manifest.
Yet once successfully condensed, the strangely arranged Dao script naturally communicates with the heavens, transforming into a tangible form.
The talisman left by Su Changqing, he could even directly use it, as it was near perfect.
"So, indeed, there are such monstrous talents in this world."
Chang Qingzi bitterly smiled and shook his head, looking up towards the Eastern Regions, softly murmuring,
"It seems... I’ve found someone who can rejuvenate Daoism!"
...
On the road to the Abyss of Illusions, across the skies above.
Uncle Fu and Chu Feng walked side by side, following far behind Su Changqing and Su Zian.
The difference being, Chu Feng closed his eyes in contemplation, occasionally forming hand seals, seemingly practicing some secret technique.
Uncle Fu, however, wore a solemn expression, occasionally sweeping his Divine Sense across the surroundings, eliminating any unexpected dangers.
Having had his thoughts interrupted a few times by the Divine Sense, Chu Feng reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Uncle Fu beside him,
"This is the Southern Regions, and with Su Zian beside to protect, why are you, a Great Saint, so tense?"
Uncle Fu responded seriously to his words: "The Young Master is still mortal and cannot afford any negligence."
For Uncle Fu, Su Changqing had grown beyond merely settling a favor owed to Su Nan.
He truly acknowledged Su Changqing, fully committing himself as the Guardian.
Moreover, such a powerful candidate for a Guardian, if he didn’t cherish him, what if he got replaced?
"How much do you owe to Su Nan?"
Chu Feng looked at Uncle Fu strangely.
Going so far beyond commitment, even addressing him as ’Young Master’ so readily, did Su Nan save Uncle Fu’s entire family?
Otherwise, why would a Great Saint lower himself so much?
"A favor?"
Uncle Fu was startled by his words, and then casually replied, "When I broke through to the rank of Great Saint, it was Su Nan who safeguarded me."
"Safeguarded?"
Chu Feng’s eyes widened, "Just safeguarding, and you agreed to ten years of guardianship for Su Nan?"
"Even at the cost of lowering your status..."
His voice paused, Chu Feng didn’t continue, only giving Uncle Fu a strange look.
Is he too easy to talk to?
"You know nothing!"
Seeing Chu Feng’s expression, Uncle Fu knew what he was thinking, so he responded with irritation,
"Su Nan’s favor is indeed difficult to repay, but it doesn’t mean I’d revere a mere mortal so much."
Saying this, he glanced at Su Changqing ahead with a smile forming at the corners of his mouth,
"In the future, you’ll understand how enviable this position of Guardian truly is."
With that, Uncle Fu quickened his pace to catch up with the distanced Su Changqing.
Chu Feng stood there dazed, unable to make sense of it for a long time, before chuckling aloud and shaking his head,
"Enviable? Surely not for Su Nan’s third son who in twenty years remains a mere mortal, with talent surpassing Su Zian?"
"What a joke..."
Chu Feng shook his head, quickly catching up with the others ahead.
...
Up ahead.
For the first time soaring in the sky, Su Changqing excitedly watched the landscapes swiftly passing beneath his feet, feeling an overwhelming exhilaration.
Being amidst the deep clouds of the sky, traversing miles of mountains and rivers.
The sensation of breaking free from the constraints and shackles of this world was indescribable, beyond any words found in books.
This, too, was why Su Changqing was so driven in his cultivation!
"Someday, I will rely on my own strength to tower above the heavens!"
Looking below at the mighty rivers stretching vast and wide, an ardent spirit rose within Su Changqing’s heart.
Beside him, Su Zian simply smiled lightly as he watched, allowing Su Changqing to savor the thrill of his first flight alone.
However, when he noticed the bloodstains on his shoulder, a thought suddenly came to him as if recalling something.
With a slight motion of Divine Sense, a message was sent out.
"Slay all bandits within Zixiao Country, little brother nearly got injured today."
Soon after, a message from someone named ’Su Moyan’ was received.
"There will be no bandits in Zixiao Borders by tomorrow. How is Changqing? Do you need me to deploy more people to the abyss?"
With just a few simple words, he conveyed a sense of care.
And this person was none other than Su Changqing’s elder brother, the eldest son of the Su family, Su Moyan.
Su Zian intended not to trouble his brother with more deployments.
Recently, the demonic sect had been a constant nuisance, with Su Moyan managing the family affairs requiring manpower more than himself.
Yet suddenly, recalling Chang Qingzi’s words during their journey, he hesitated before sending another message.
"Uncle Wen Lin is near the abyss, have him come over, there might be some unexpected occurrences today"
Su Zian wasn’t sure if Chang Qingzi’s words were true, but when it concerned Su Changqing, he would ensure absolute security, even if it was a false alarm.
And Su Wenlin, about to break through to the rank of quasi-emperor, could single-handedly overpower any formidable force!
After some silence, Su Moyan eventually replied.
"Uncle Wen Lin is on his way. Tell Changqing I’ll not make it today, will compensate with a welcoming gift next time, and remember to give him my communication imprint."
"What welcome gift will big brother give Changqing?"
Su Zian pondered with curiosity as he put away the Communication Talisman, then chuckled and shook his head.
With Su Moyan’s prideful nature, it’s likely that ordinary things won’t suffice.
"What... what is that!"
While deep in thought, Su Zian was startled by Su Changqing’s voice of shock.
As they witnessed it, the expansive sky ahead was suddenly severed.
An immense chasm of darkness stretched endlessly, resembling the bloodthirsty maw of a gigantic beast, tearing through the skies.
Within it laid an abyss of utter darkness, devouring even the moonlight that fell from the heavens, leaving nothing behind.
Su Zian saw this and laughed aloud:
"Hold tight, Changqing, the Abyss of Illusions, we’ve arrived!"
As his voice fell, amidst Su Changqing’s exclamation, Su Zian dove downward with him.
In an instant, they disappeared into the gaping maw of the abyss.
And the moment Su Changqing stepped into the void.
Deep within the forbidden abyss, in a place sealed by numerous enchantments, a burst of intense Buddha light erupted!
Several meditating Buddhist monks around it instantly opened their eyes with shock, looking towards the entrance of the void.
"The Eight Treasure Buddha Body has entered the void!"
