Perfect World

Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The Fire Seed Dao
 

Yue Chan stood still, a radiant glow at the center of her brows, where there was a small dancing woman manifested, though tiny and in the form of a brand, she appeared vividly lifelike.

This was quite peculiar, for someone to have such a thing at their brow!

Regardless, she was unharmed, which brought relief to Shi Hao, having finally weathered a tribulation.

Yue Chan’s figure was tall and lithe, her skin snow-white and radiant. Incredibly, she remained unmarred, even her jet-black hair seemed brighter, giving her a vibrant, lively air.

Above her head, the green moon was still transforming, gradually enlarging, the fairy shadow within it becoming clearer, as if standing proudly upon the clouds, seemingly about to descend from the realms above.

“Pop!”

She dispersed like a bubble, turning into mist and fusing into the green moon, and finally, the entire green moon turned into a ball of firelight, shrouding Yue Chan in exceptionally peaceful warmth without spreading any heat.

The Green Moon Flame had changed, not harming Yue Chan but enveloping her instead.

Shi Hao was surprised; this fire from True Immortal was incredibly gentle, transforming into a dress and cloaking Yue Chan’s form, protecting her at the center.

Yue Chan was serene, her gaze clear and sparkling with wisdom, completely composed as she chanted sacrificial words, forming a mysterious pact with the flames.

At this, her task was completed!

On her body, it seemed as if a treasure garment in green was shimmering, the Ancient Fire had become a long dress—beautiful and sacred, with a kind of metallic texture, sparkling with a crystal luster, giving Yue Chan a different kind of grace.

“Can it also transform into battle attire?” Shi Hao was astonished, always feeling the Green Moon Flame somewhat unique, particularly compatible with Yue Chan!

“Shush!”

The next moment, a flash of green moonlight, the dress disappeared, Yue Chan’s ivory-like body was exposed once more, and the ball of fire turned into mist, appearing at her brow.

A light chirp sounded; it merged with the small dancing figure, that is, the brand, becoming a permanent resident there!

“This seems different from the other ancient fires, like the Myriad Sins Fire and Red Heaven Fire, etc.,” Shi Hao murmured softly.

At this time, the ruins quieted down, the green moon disappeared, and merged into the mark hidden at Yue Chan’s brow, only manifesting when summoned.

Yue Chan stood silently, experiencing and sensing profoundly; gradually, a smile appeared on her face, a sense of immense achievement within. She had succeeded.

Suddenly, she perceived something, her head snapped up to see Shi Hao’s eyes gleaming mischievously, staring at her snow-white body. She immediately burst forth with radiant light.

Her curvaceous jade body, just like a round sun, dazzling to the eyes, was actually the illumination of the green moonlight, pouring from her brow and veiling her entire body.

At the same time, a long dress appeared and covered her form, Yue Chan promptly completed her dressing and then retracted the sacred brilliance at her brow.

“Have you seen enough?” Yue Chan’s voice was very pleasing to the ear, devoid of any worldly dust, quite calm and serene.

“No!” Shi Hao answered decisively.

Yue Chan gathered her hair, revealing a slight smile, as radiant as the divine moon blossoming light, more ethereal and sacred than before, with a spirited charm, “I keep my word, and you should also have a steadfast dao heart.”

Shi Hao was astonished and then began to laugh, “Are you referring to that agreement?”

“Yes!” Yue Chan nodded.

“How come you are so generous and detached now?” Shi Hao was surprised.

Yue Chan spoke softly, “After experiencing the battle of geniuses in the Three Thousand States, if you fail, you should be calm and accumulate experience, and one day you will surely rise and achieve greatness.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao’s facial expression immediately twisted, as the ‘agreement’ seemingly implied his inevitable defeat, advising him to contemplate quietly.

“Yue Chan, I just saved you, and now you belittle me like this?”

Yue Chan shook her head, “I feel that with your talent, a glorious life is destined for you. You should not be distracted by other things and focus on your cultivation.”

“Being human involves various emotions. According to you, if I focus on cultivation and ignore the rest, I’ll miss out on a lot,” Shi Hao disagreed.

Yue Chan replied quietly, “So-called beauty turns to bones, even if undefeatably brilliant, there comes a day when all returns to dust. There should be higher pursuits, detaching from the worldly plane.”

“I have always been detaching, walking steadfastly on this path, which doesn’t conflict with normal human emotions and desires,” Shi Hao said, then, with suspicion, added, “What’s with you? After obtaining this rare ancient fire, you seem to have become unearthly, as if you want to depart from the worldly dust.”

“Since truly acquiring the fire from True Immortal, I inexplicably feel as I described. All of a sudden, worldly affairs seem like fleeting clouds that will eventually disperse. Detaching is the only path,” Yue Chan said, her black hair like soft satin, her entire figure shrouded by a light mist, ethereal as though soon no longer belonging to the mortal realm.

“Hey, Yue Chan, don’t fall into disillusionment, quickly have a child if this continues—that won’t do!” Shi Hao proclaimed startlingly.

Yue Chan, ethereal and lively like the moon, even if serene and contemplating worldly detachment, was taken aback at this and then a vivid expression crossed her exquisite face, clearly agitated.

“There’s still hope,” Shi Hao mused to himself.

“The mortal world has an end, these mountains and rivers, all things in this world, will eventually fade into nothing, turning desolate one day. Nothing will remain. As an individual is insignificant, all desires and endless thoughts are but dust in the wind, unworthy of lingering or pausing. There is actually only one path under our feet…” Yue Chan spoke thusly, looking towards the heavens.

“You’ve fallen into demonic thoughts, let me pull you back,” Shi Hao declared with righteous words, taking one of Yue Chan’s hands, and in the style of a Lion’s Roar, said, “Wake up now!”

A flash of sacred green light, and Yue Chan pulled away from Shi Hao’s hand, casting him a sidelong glance, her look saying, “Don’t take advantage of the situation under the guise of seriousness!”

“If I end up first in the great Three Thousand States battle, standing unrivaled, I’ll personally bring you back, so you fully experience the beauty of the mortal world, such as being a wife and mother,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

“Indeed, if you can be the first under the heavens.” Yue Chan smiled indifferently and said.

“Then let’s agree on that!” Shi Hao, looking at her indifferent appearance, suddenly felt a surge of competitiveness and harbored a desire to triumph, hoping to rise in the great battles of the Three Thousand States.

Afterward, he inquired about the mysteries of the Green Moon Flame and what differences there would be after obtaining this rare treasure fire.

Yue Chan was frank, not withholding any information, and told him it was as if she’d had an epiphany, realizing certain things as if a lighthouse ahead was shining, guiding her towards the path she was to take in the future.

Generally speaking, once one becomes a divine being and ignites their own divine flames, the rare treasure fire will depart.

At the instant of becoming divine, any cultivator would have a profound realization, capable of “gazing far and wide” in a flash, seeing the path clearly ahead, which is a very special moment in a cultivator’s life!

Yet Yue Chan had not yet become divine, but she had experienced an instant of great enlightenment.

Rare treasure fires form a covenant with vastly potential geniuses, all for the sake of reaping rewards in that instant.

“The path ahead, the enlightenment, the road – are these caused by the rare treasure fire? To comprehend the dao on this basis and carve one’s own path?” Shi Hao pondered to himself.

“It’s unclear, the way is indescribable. The Ancient Fire is suspected to be left behind by the True Immortal, using it to ‘sow the dao’, taking it as a kindling, naturally you can stand taller.” Yue Chan said.

“Why use them as a kindling? Can’t one achieve their own dao seed?” At this moment, Shi Hao had this thought and began to waver regarding the so-called igniting divine flames.

Yue Chan was surprised and said, “The rare Ancient Fire, a legacy left after the true immortals’ passing, can be referred to as an Immortal Seed. Using it to sow the dao naturally smooths the way and offers hope for detaching oneself in the future.”

“Rather than that, I wish to use tangible objects like a grain of sand, a blade of grass, a tree, a mountain as a reference, to plant my dao with the entire mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon, and stars as the kindling,” Shi Hao said.

Yue Chan showed a hint of surprise and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“Not using the Ancient Fire, just directly igniting oneself, isn’t that possible?” Shi Hao said.

Yue Chan said, “Many people who cannot find rare treasure fire will use other divine flames to ignite themselves. There is even a greater number of people who cannot obtain any divine flames, and they can only resort to burning their own body.”

“So you’re saying, the most ordinary people are the same as me, they would do it this way?” Shi Hao asked.

“Yes!” Yue Chan nodded.

“Why do I feel that this path isn’t wrong?” Shi Hao whispered, and then said: “Or should I first obtain some kind of Ancient Fire, study it thoroughly, and then do that?”

Boom!

A bolt of heavenly thunder fell, striking directly upon Shi Hao’s body, causing his head to smoke and his body to char, sending him flying.

If it had been a typical Venerable One, they would undoubtedly be destroyed both physically and spiritually!

Yet he stood with his hair on end, and from his mouth, electrical arcs sprayed out. He did not perish, and his injuries were not serious; he was merely shocked and involuntarily looked up towards the heavens.

“Damn it, who’s striking me?!” Shi Hao was furious, not believing someone would dare ambush him.

Yue Chan was also stunned, she had seen clearly that the thunder had spontaneously generated in the void, no one had made a move, it descended from the heavens.

Shi Hao took out his Dual Pupils, searching meticulously, but found nothing.

“In the Ancient Immortal Era, when discussing the dao or expressing extraordinary theories, occasionally heavenly thunder would descend, but now there aren’t even normal Heavenly Calamities, how could just now…” Yue Chan muttered to herself, her eyes shimmering as she looked at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was genuinely disconcerted, being inexplicably struck by lightning made him furious.

“I’m leaving!” He said as he lowered his head; the situation was too embarrassing, being bombarded by lightning out of the blue was neither pleasant to experience nor discuss.

Yue Chan wanted to laugh but restrained herself, pretending nothing was amiss, and naturally did not forget to say lightly that one should be honest and do good deeds for heaven to protect them.

Shi Hao’s face turned red; he did not want to stay a moment longer.

Afterward, they returned to the location of the Celestial Immortal Academy.

“Dang!”

A large bell was tolling, resonating through the world.

“It’s the academy’s dao clock, what’s happened, why is it tolling?” Yue Chan showed a hint of surprise, normally this bell would not sound unless there was a significant event.

At the same time, a bell’s toll was heard from afar, shaking heaven and earth, echoing for a long duration.

“This is coming from the direction of Kun Province!” Yue Chan was certain.

This place was located at the junction of Celestial Immortal State, Fire Province, and Kun Province, an extraordinary location.

The next moment, another large bell tolled, ancient, vicissitude-filled, its sound particularly lingering, coming from the direction of Fire Province!

“Could it be…” Although Yue Chan seemed ethereal, at this moment her beautiful eyes shone brightly, unable to remain calm.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Hao asked.

Yue Chan replied, “All the rivers converge to the sea; Three Thousand States’ battle of talents, it may be approaching, perhaps about to begin. Just like in the legends, when all bells in heaven and earth toll together, each ancient school, numerous dao legacies, upon receiving the news, will signal with bell tolls!” (To be continued.
