Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 209 – Not very good

The Qin envoy was puzzled and looked up, unaware of what had happened.

In the Heavenly Court, the divine lights were shining, and the majestic gods were looking down. At the Heavenly Gate, two gods sneered and said in unison, "How dare the demon from the mortal realm release...!"

Su Yun was still recovering from the headache caused by Ying Ying's words. Now, another anomaly occurred in the Spirit Realm. Two heavenly gods appeared in his Spirit Realm, trying to invade it!

Su Yun knew it was not good. Ying Ying shouted loudly, "Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"

Under the Heavenly Gate, the void twisted, and the two heavenly gods were dragged into the darkness and disappeared.

The Heavenly Court was in an uproar, and four more sacred and solemn heavenly gods immediately tried to rescue them.

"Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!" Ying Ying cried out in fear in Su Yun's Spirit Realm.

Beside Bai Yuelou, Su Yun suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, startling Bai Yuelou.

At the Tianmen Town, Qu Jin, Li Xiaoyi, and the Thunder Sound Pavilion Master looked into the distance.

"Two more added, 99 now. Can the seal withstand it?"

"I don't know. The ones sealed this time seem weaker than before, so maybe they can be sealed... Four more have been added!"

"It's 103 now, not good! If those things break the seal and escape..."

The ghosts and gods of Tianmen Town looked at Qu Jin together, and Luo Damao trembled and said, "Old Qu, what will happen if the seal is broken? You were the one who insisted on sealing these divine demons in Su Yun's memory. Do you know how to deal with it?"

Qu Bo exhaled a breath and looked up at the sky without answering.

He still remembered that scene.

Seven years ago, they studied a group of divine demons and the secrets of the Heavenly Market. They went deep into the Tianmen Ghost Market and finally discovered the secret of the deepest part of the ghost market.

At that time, they used pure-spirited children as bait to lure them into the deepest part of the ghost market to capture the divine monsters.

These divine monsters corresponded to the divine monsters on the Tianmen Gate in the ghost market.

Su Yun was the only surviving child. In the end, they found the 96 divine demons on the Tianmen Gate, which were sealed in Su Yun's memory and in his childhood memories.

They studied these divine demons and finally created the Eight-Faced Heavenly Vault, which opened up another world, the so-called Immortal Realm!

They paid a great price. When the Immortal Sword fell from the sky, the entire Tianmen Town was destroyed, and everything was reduced to ashes!

At that time, not only the strong in Tianmen Town died, but also in the North Sea. A water column rose to the sky, leading directly to the Immortal Realm, and countless ships sailed towards the Immortal Realm.

None of the strong on those ships survived!

Only one person survived.

That child stood under the Heavenly Gate, between the Eight-Faced Heavenly Vault, looking up at the Immortal Sword.

At that time, the pure spirits of Qu Bo and others saw the child's forehead split open, and half of the bodies of the 96 divine demons drilled out of the child's forehead, fighting against the Immortal Sword together.

That scene was directly imprinted in Qu Bo and others' pure spirits!

"Don't scare yourself!"Qu Bo suddenly shouted, "The gods and demons outside the domain are weaker and cannot compare to the 96 gods and demons. It's impossible to break the seal! Seven years ago, they fought against the Immortal Sword and were heavily injured, falling into a deep sleep within the seal! They cannot cultivate within the seal, let alone break our seal!"

Upon hearing this, the ghosts and gods in the small town breathed a collective sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good! We're all dead, so what does it matter if the world is in chaos?"

"But if the gods and demons inside there eat these gods and demons from outside the domain?" Suddenly, Shui Zhu Yuesi Cheng asked.

The lively small town fell silent, and all the ghosts and gods froze in place, their gazes falling on Shui Zhu Yuesi Cheng. He was the old musician of Tianmen Town, a white-haired elder.

Shui Zhu Yuesi Cheng couldn't help but shudder and quickly said, "What can I do? Do you have any ideas?"

Tianmen Town grew increasingly quiet.

"Old man Cen is no longer in this world, which is not good..." Luo Danni muttered.

Qu Bo decisively said, "Send a dream to Holy Buddha!"

The Thunder Sound Pavilion Master, also known as Lai the Monk in the small town, immediately dug out a golden bowl from his tomb upon hearing this. The golden bowl was a spiritual weapon, and it contained half a bowl of water from the North Sea.

"My master, Holy Buddha, is one of the Four Great Myths. He has refined a Buddha body and is invulnerable to ghosts and gods. It's difficult for me to enter his spiritual realm to send him a dream."

The Thunder Sound Pavilion Master sat cross-legged and said in a deep voice, "I ask for everyone's help!"

All the ghosts and gods in Tianmen Town mobilized their powers, urging the golden bowl. The seawater in the golden bowl was like a clear mirror, and the scenery in the mirror changed rapidly. They soon arrived at the Thunder Sound Pavilion on Mount Yuhuang in the Eastern Capital, where they shone the light on a golden Buddha statue.

This golden Buddha statue received daily offerings from countless devotees who came to burn incense and pray. It was said to be very effective, but people didn't know that it wasn't a Buddha statue, but the Holy Buddha of the Four Great Myths.

The Holy Buddha had not awakened for decades, but today, the golden Buddha statue slowly opened its eyes.

"Good."

In front of the imperial palace, the envoy from Daqin looked up at the divine light emanating from the heavenly palace, feeling uncertain. In just a short moment, seven of the heavenly gods were captured!

The heavenly gods were also uncertain and dared not move!

Their eyes all looked down, as if they were looking at a terrifying demon king.

The envoy from Daqin's face changed slightly. Was this a warning from Yuanshuo to him?

Daqin was the most powerful overseas country, followed by Daxia, Dawan, Anxi, and Dashiqi. They even had a tendency to surpass Yuanshuo. However, the New Learning originated from Daqin, and Daqin could be said to be the holy land for overseas countries.

This overseas country had given birth to generations of heroes who had reached a high level in astronomy, calendar, metallurgy, art, and culture.

During the reign of Emperor Ai, Daqin finally surpassed Yuanshuo. In the Battle of the Eastern Sea, they defeated the navy of Yuanshuo and forced Emperor Ai to cede territory and pay reparations.

For five thousand years, Yuanshuo had always considered itself as the superior celestial empire, and overseas countries learned Yuanshuo's etiquette and culture, paying tribute to Yuanshuo. However, the battle during Emperor Ai's reign finally tore apart Yuanshuo's dream of a great celestial empire, revealing the weakness of this ancient empire.

After that, overseas countries came to attack Yuanshuo one after another, squeezing and dividing its territories, plundering its wealth.

It was only then that the righteous and ambitious people of Yuanshuo began to study abroad, learning the academic achievements of these Western barbarians and bringing them back to Yuanshuo, hoping to learn from them and strengthen Yuanshuo to resist foreign enemies.

The most crucial factor in Daqin's rapid growth was the divine light of the heavenly palace, which worshipped the gods and received their blessings.

This envoy from Daqin also wanted to give Emperor Yuanshuo a warning by having him lead his officials to kowtow to the gods of the Western Heavenly Palace. However, as soon as he spoke, seven of the heavenly gods disappeared in an instant!"What happened exactly?" The other envoys in the delegation stood up one after another, looking around.

The Heavenly God of Da Qin was different from that of Yuan Shuo. The gods of Yuan Shuo were ancestors who had truly existed, while the Heavenly God of Da Qin was created from the void, making gods out of thin air.

The Ling Shi and sentient beings of Da Qin gradually turned the created gods into reality, blessing their people and Ling Shi.

But suddenly, seven of their created gods were taken away, and no one could bear the blame.

The faces of the Da Qin envoys were solemn as they followed the gaze of the Heavenly Gods and looked towards Bai Yuelou.

Bai Yuelou was taking care of Su Yun, who suddenly fainted and didn't know what had happened.

All of a sudden, the eyes of these Da Qin envoys turned to him, causing his pressure to increase dramatically, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What does it have to do with me?" He felt extremely wronged.

Suddenly, Qiu Shuijing walked out and smiled, "The Heavenly God of Da Qin is truly exquisite. Could it be that you, sir, are a scholar from Jian Ge? I am Qiu Shuijing from Yuan Shuo, and I studied at Jian Ge for a few years."

"Mr. Shuijing!"

The young Da Qin envoy bowed and said, "I am Cang Jiuhua, also from Jian Ge. My teacher, Jiang Zushi of Jian Ge, often spoke of a scholar from the East named Shuijing who studied with him and had exceptional knowledge and talent. Unfortunately, he returned to Yuan Shuo. My teacher often said that if Mr. Shuijing had stayed in Da Qin, his achievements would have surpassed his own. But returning to Yuan Shuo, this barbaric land, he would probably be delayed for his whole life."

Qiu Shuijing smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zushi exaggerates. Returning to my homeland to serve my country, how could I be delayed? Moreover, if Yuan Shuo is a barbaric land, then the barbarians you Western countries have been studying for thousands of years must be even worse, right?"

"Times change!"

The young envoy laughed heartily and said, "Before this trip, my teacher told me that if I met Mr. Shuijing, I should ask him: Has Mr. Shuijing's ambition been fulfilled? Today, I happened to meet Mr. Shuijing, so may I have the audacity to ask if Mr. Shuijing's ambition from thirty-five years ago has been realized?"

Qiu Shuijing's face darkened.

The young envoy laughed, "In these thirty-five years, Yuan Shuo hasn't remained stagnant, right?"

Qiu Shuijing said calmly, "If Yuan Shuo had remained stagnant, why did the Jiuhua envoys lose seven Heavenly Gods as soon as they arrived at the imperial city?"

The young envoy, Cang Jiuhua, was slightly shaken in his heart. "So it's a warning to me! Has Yuan Shuo really grown stronger in these decades?"

His gaze fell on Bai Yuelou, thinking, "This young man is handsome and graceful, and must have been cultivated by Yuan Shuo to deal with scholars from Jian Ge! I heard that Yuan Shuo has the Heavenly Dao Academy, could he be a Ling Shi from the Heavenly Dao Academy?"

Su Yun woke up with a splitting headache.

Cang Jiuhua, the envoy from Da Qin, glanced at Su Yun and then at Bai Yuelou. "The person beside him is unremarkable, but this young man in white is unfathomable!"
