Chapter 488: Tao Achieving

Wilderness

Demon Emperor Feng Jiu realized something was wrong, quickly tried to escape, but soon ran into a barrier, like an invisible wall blocking its way.

"Break"

Demon Emperor Feng Jiu roared in anger, unleashed a fierce Phoenix Fire, but this time it didn’t burn down the barrier.

One plan failed, try another one, Demon Emperor pecked fiercely, finally breaking the invisible barrier, but now it was entangled in threads, emitting fire all over its body, trying to burn off the threads.

The flying threads in the sky had formed into a cage, quickly contracting layer by layer. Demon Emperor Feng Jiu burned one layer but another layer appeared, ultimately trapping Demon Emperor Feng Jiu.

"Creating one’s own trap"

A word appeared in Demon Emperor Feng Jiu’s mind, realizing it was too late. It struggled constantly, but the threads tightened, soon cutting into its flesh, causing Feng Jiu to scream in agony.

"You lost."

"I didn’t lose, no."

"Before you break free from my spell, you could have died dozens of times."

Lin Die said coldly, this move could definitely not hold Demon Emperor Feng Jiu, he could break free, but it would take time, by the time he broke free, Lin Die could kill him dozens of times, but she didn’t want to kill him, that’s why she didn’t make a move.

Lin Die’s words made Demon Emperor Feng Jiu feel very despondent, he was unwilling because he had never been defeated. Starting from a young age, he defeated his brothers and became the most outstanding descendant of the Phoenix clan, becoming the Demon Emperor by defeating various opponents all the way. Even in battles against humans, the deaths caused by him were close to double digits, but today he was still defeated, feeling unwilling to accept it.

"Where is Xia Qingshan?"

Despite defeating Feng Jiu, Lin Die still didn’t see Xia Qingshan appear, which made her somewhat hesitant. Where could this guy be?

·······

"Brother Li, Fairy Lin."

Lin Jiang and Lin Ying were trying to break free from Lin Die’s seal when suddenly they heard a voice, causing them to look up and see Xia Qingshan slowly approaching from afar.

"Xia Qingshan, Brother Xia."

"I never thought I would see Brother Li again."

Xia Qingshan sighed, this was unexpected for him. How could a Soul Changing be involved in such a thing, it’s unscientific.

"Brother Xia, please help us."

"Okay."

Xia Qingshan quickly broke the seal on Lin Jiang and Lin Ying.

"Sparrow, hurry, you go first."

"Brother, I…"

"Don’t talk too much, don’t be overly dramatic, now is not the time for drama."

"Okay, I will rely on you, Third Sister."

"I know."

Lin Jiang nodded, Lin Ying swiftly flew away. She stood up, and several threads appeared in the sky. Lin Jiang leaped up and struck with his sword. Although he couldn’t cut the threads, he blocked them for a moment.

"Brother Xia, please help."

"Sure."

Xia Qingshan was decisive, he used magic to gather the threads into a ball, allowing Lin Ying to escape smoothly.

"You finally showed up."

Lin Die walked up to Xia Qingshan and spoke.

"You have waited for a long time."

Xia Qingshan said, greeting each other like old friends.

"Are you going to stop me today?"

"Why should I stop you?"

"You…"

Lin Die was speechless for a moment. She pulled the thread in her hand, and the Demon Emperor, tied up like a rice dumpling, was dragged over.

"Feng Jiu, you can’t do it. The Phoenix clan restrains the Jiujie Divine Silkworm. How can you not defeat her?"

Xia Qingshan said to Feng Jiu, making her feel even more ashamed.

"Haha, just kidding. The Jiujie Divine Silkworm has reached the peak of the Disaster Crossing Period, only one step away from becoming an immortal. You have just entered the Disaster Crossing Period. It’s normal not to win."

"Senior, I am not as skilled as others, I admit it."

"Let him go."

"Okay."

Lin Die nodded, retracted the thread, and released Feng Jiu.

"Feng Jiu, are you willing to sacrifice yourself to fulfill the heavenly path?"

"Yes, it is my duty."

Feng Jiu bluntly stated that this was his original purpose for the Yao clan, as the Phoenix Demon Emperor had told him long ago.

"If I tell you that after sacrificing yourself, you will erase your own path, your Phoenix clan’s Nirvana Power will fail, and you will die, what would you do?"

"This…"

"You must think carefully."

"After thinking it over, I’m still willing."

"The sages of the demon clan are truly remarkable."

"Everything is for the demon clan."

Feng Jiu said. He wasn’t trying to show off, he really thought it through. Over the years, the demon clan has produced countless geniuses, but they still couldn’t become immortals. Those outstanding individuals could only watch as their lifespan faded, ultimately passing away with regret.

If there isn’t a sage from the demon clan willing to sacrifice themselves, the demon clan will never have a future. For this plan, many Demon Emperors have already fallen and sacrificed themselves. Naturally, he is also willing to sacrifice.

"Then let’s begin."

"Wait, what about me, Xia Qingshan?"

Lin Die spoke up to stop them. She felt that things were too simple, as if something was not right.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you."

"You…"

"Don’t be angry, I was just joking. How could I forget about you, Jiujie Divine Silkworm? You have already survived eight major tribulations, right?"

"Yes, this is the ninth time now."

"I will give you two choices. First, you can replace Feng Jiu and become the great way of heaven and earth in your own way. Second, you can let Feng Jiu achieve Tao, and after achieving Tao, you can transcend the tribulation and become an immortal."

"No, neither of these paths is right, they are different from my own tribulation."

"How are they different?"

"I have my own tribulation. My tribulation is related to all living beings. My tribulation tells me that in order to become immortal, I must bring about the end of the world."

Lin Die shook her head. Both of these paths were different from her own tribulation. This was the intuition of a practitioner.

"But you wouldn’t dare destroy the world, right? Because you are also a part of this world. If the world is destroyed, wouldn’t you also be destroyed? You are not a member of the Phoenix clan, you don’t have Nirvana Power. Once even you are destroyed, wouldn’t it all be in vain?"

"I can take over his body."

In this fable, Lin Jiang is pointed out. She has already noticed that Lin Jiang is not from this world, or rather, not from the soul of this world.

"You can’t take over, the body you chose is his Third Sister. She will stop you."

Xia Qingshan said, while Lin Jiang beside him fell silent. "Elder brother, why not let her give it a try? The system doesn’t mind another antivirus check."

But he dare not say, this feeling was just awful.

"It’s all because of your mischief, you are the embodiment of Heaven’s Will, you have already deviated."

Lin Die gritted her teeth. If it weren’t for Xia Qingshan injecting a spark of life into Lin Die’s body, she would have already erased Lin Die’s consciousness.

"It’s not my fault. I am not the embodiment of Heaven’s Will, I am the variable. How do you know that I am not trying to save you?"

"You…"

Lin Die became angrier, feeling like you always have the right words to say, right? You always make sense, right?

"Jiujie Divine Silkworm, the heavenly way is invisible and everywhere, it’s not predetermined what’s good or bad."

"If I choose the second path, can you guarantee that I can become immortal?"

"No, your fate is something you need to figure out on your own, no one can guarantee it."

"After the Demon Emperor attains Tao, what will happen, I have no more time."

Lin Die said, she has done everything she could from ancient times till now, spending most of her time asleep, yet even so, her time is running out.

"I don’t know."

"You definitely know, don’t force me to subdue you."

"I am part of the changing ways of the universe, you can’t change me through cultivation."

Xia Qingshan is confident and fearless, he is not afraid of your attempts to change him, you cannot succeed.

Lin Die’s anger was rising, she felt helpless, torn between difficult choices, unsure of what to do.

"What if I choose nothing? I cannot become immortal, and no one else will be able to either."

"It’s not up to me to decide, it’s your choice. You can destroy the altar, but the next cycle will come much later, and no one will be able to summon me again. The future of this world will be even more uncertain."

Xia Qingshan calmly said, as long as the creatures of this world still desire immortality, they will find a way to mend the ways of the universe. But by then, he will no longer exist, just like Feng Jiu and the others. No one knows what the future holds.

Lin Die looked coldly at Xia Qingshan, then at Feng Jiu and Lin Jiang, feeling conflicted. The choice was too difficult; if she chose wrong, it would be irreparable. She had lived for so long striving for immortality, not to gamble recklessly.

Lin Die’s eyes focused on Lin Jiang, sensing his unusually long lifespan. She considered whether she should switch bodies.

As the thought crossed her mind, Lin Die’s consciousness suddenly awakened inside her body, shouting, "Divine Silkworm, you promised me you wouldn’t harm my brother. If you dare to touch him, I’ll detonate my consciousness immediately."

The fable’s consciousness was not joking around, immediately showing signs of self-destruction, which frightened Jiujie Divine Silkworm. He quickly started to suppress the fable’s consciousness.
