Chapter 665: 383
There was a touch of self-confidence in the young man’s indifferent words. It wasn’t that he disregarded the world beneath his feet, but because he cared too much about it, he had confidence that no matter who his successor was, they couldn’t possibly ruin it.
“I understand.”
Feng Qing’an exhaled a clear breath.
“Last question.”
“Are you the lofty original identity, or something like an incarnation? What about my two elder brothers?”
“I, and the other two you’ve met, are no different. We just chose different paths among Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. All of us appeared because of your birth.”
“I see.”
Feng Qing’an understood. He had thought that this elder brother in front of him was far too cheerful to be a saint who controlled the Heavenly Dao.
“What are you thinking? Do you think the saint of the Heavenly Dao is a stone? Heartless and emotionless?”
The young man saw through Feng Qing’an’s thoughts at a glance and chuckled.
“…”
Feng Qing’an’s mouth twitched. Mind Reading Powers exist in Buddhism, and naturally, there are similar Divine Powers in Taoism. Even if this one in front of him was just an incarnation, he held unimaginable power of the Heavenly Dao.
“Alright, all the questions have been asked. Are you ready for everything?”
“I don’t think I’m ready.”
Feng Qing’an responded earnestly. If given a choice, he would also like to refuse. After all, several of the individuals who had been trained by the person in front of him had already refused.
“That’s not up to you. I was just casually asking.”
With a wave of the young man’s hand, the group of dragon sculptures above his head came to life again. Except for the color, the essence of the destructive purple dragon that was originally formed by catastrophe has reversed.
“The saint ascends to the throne!”
The slightly amused voice rang out, and the group of dragons made a clear and melodious sound. The majestic and grand dragon chant resonated through the three thousand worlds, even startling many existences.
However, when they looked over, they saw a brilliant purple sea that was even more dazzling than if hundreds of suns were combined. From then on, no one dared to pry into this place.
“Damn!”
Feng Qing’an looked at the group of dragons above his head with an angry curse, because the cluster of dragons was swarming towards him. These purple dragons, stretching for thousands of miles, all wanted to enter his body.
With each purple dragon he assimilated, Feng Qing’an could feel his fundamental nature undergoing a radical transformation. His perspective toward all the things in the world was changing.
When thousands of dragons disappeared completely, and the final purple dragon merged into his body, he felt control over everything in the heavens and earth, even the sun, moon, and stars. Feng Qing’an perceived everything differently.
A Taoist whose appearance was similar to his own, but felt both familiar and strange, stood amidst the surging chaos sea, smiling at him. Stars revolved and disappeared behind him, as if the rise and fall of all creatures were at his whim.
“I entrust everything to you now.”
“Where are you going?”
“The chaos sea!”
“What should I do?”
“This world of ours, I’ve been managing for a long time. Thirty thousand years from now, when you become bored, an otherworldly immortal king will cross the borders to find you. At that time, you will have the chance to escape.”
The long-fermenting chaos finally exploded, completely engulfing the figure of the young Taoist.
“Thirty thousand years later, an immortal king will cross borders!”
In Feng Qing’an’s eyes, the sun rose and the moon set, everything was in constant cycle. He understood everything.
He had already foreseen a scene that would happen in the remote future. He hadn’t noticed it before, but after the previous saint who abandoned his position mentioned it, he understood it all.
“So it’s this damned thing.”
The newly appointed saint chuckled and cursed. He had already seen it, where the karma was bound.
But at this moment, he only felt anticipation because only on that forthcoming immortal king was there a shadow he couldn’t understand or see through.
“However, it’s too early, I should have a few more thousand years to play. Now this world holds no more secrets for me. Thirty thousand years is too much, I’d be bored in less than ten thousand!”
“Sigh!”
