Chapter 313 Cloud Pattern Talisman, Zuo Ruotong's Apology
Within the void of the inner landscape, Lü Qian's ethereal figure suddenly changed as the announcement was made.
The blazing divine fire of wisdom suddenly ignited, the flames containing the aura that spread outwards, rising and falling like the ebb and flow of the tide, and like the expansion and contraction of human breath.
"It's done, the triple formation is really complete."
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong looked at the fiery cloud in the void that stretched and curled up like a flower bud, and her originally solemn face finally blossomed into a smile.
"Hahaha, triple, the real triple, the real method of reversing death! The real path to heaven!"
"This life has been worthwhile, I have no regrets!"
Under the immense pressure of the inner landscape, Zuo Ruotong no longer had a complete form. Her disintegrated body transformed into the churning clouds within the inner landscape, just like Lü Qian before her.
However, unlike Zuo Ruotong, whose inner vision was rejected and scattered, Lü Qian's figure gradually emerged from the cloud of flames.
Strands of pure and vast cloud energy flowed, condensed, and converged from the divine fire of wisdom, reconstructing Lü Qian's youthful figure holding a whisk.
The burning cloud expanded and contracted, transforming into a blooming crimson fire lotus. Lu Qian stood in the center of that blooming fire lotus, his body radiating a golden glow of immortality, like the golden stamen at the heart of the fire lotus.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, the road ahead is long, and we will strive to explore it."
Flames swirled as Lü Qian stepped out of the fire lotus. His appearance was exactly the same as before, but the feeling he gave off was completely different.
Lu Qian, who stepped out of the flames, exuded a pure and innocent aura, like a newborn infant, which made people feel happy and at peace upon seeing him.
A few flames swirled on his robes, outlining vivid and lively patterns. These patterns were ever-changing, resembling the shapes of characters, yet possessing a more expansive and profound charm.
Lu Qian took three steps, stepping onto the inner void. His robes fluttered as he stepped out of the fiery lotus, his figure now exactly the same as before. However, the pure and righteous aura had not dissipated; instead, it had become even more formless and intangible.
After taking the final step, the dazzling flame lotus transformed back into drifting clouds, seemingly about to dissipate.
"call!"
However, a gust of wind blew, and Lü Qian, who was in front of the cloud, did not turn around or look back. He simply swept his whisk backward.
The three thousand dust particles transformed once again into wisps of pure cloud energy, like three thousand soft silver needles, twisting the dissipating cloud energy and turning it into needles and threads for mending clothes.
Three thousand needles and threads were woven into Lü Qian's Taoist robe, which was stained with the marks of the world. Amidst the intricate and complex patterns, one after another, talismanic characters, as lingering as clouds and as radiant as flames, were embroidered on the slightly faded robe.
"The Cloud Register Heavenly Book, is this the Cloud Register Heavenly Book?"
Zuo Ruotong, whose head was still intact and had not been dispersed by the inner vision, looked at the perfectly formed and seemingly unified talisman patterns on Lü Qian's Taoist robe and asked in surprise.
"That's right, and it's a Heavenly Book Cloud Record that records Fellow Daoist Zuo's path to rebirth."
Looking at Zuo Ruotong, who was about to be expelled from the inner realm, Lü Qian understood that time was of the essence and that Zuo Ruotong could be knocked out of the inner realm at any moment. He immediately spoke.
"I will give this Taoist robe to Mr. Lu Jin, whom I know. As for how much he can understand from it, that depends on Mr. Lu Jin's own comprehension."
"This...this is a celestial book and scroll..."
Zuo Ruotong looked at the talisman with cloud-like flames flowing on Lü Qian's robes. Upon hearing his words of offering a gift, she frowned, wanting to refuse.
Because the Taoist robe that Lü Qian was wearing had now transformed into a priceless treasure.
Although the Taoist robe was made of ordinary material, not even silk, and even had some dust on it, it was a truly old and tattered garment.
However, as long as this Taoist robe appears in the outside world, especially in front of those sects with a lineage that leads to the heavens, it will definitely cause a competition that sets a new low.
If the person wearing this tattered old clothing is just an ordinary person, they would definitely cheat and swindle, or even use some means to forcibly strip people of their clothes; if the person wearing this clothing is an extraordinary person, they could also engage in extortion, coercion, and forced transactions.
It's no wonder that those ancient sects abandoned their moral bottom line; it's just that the things on this Taoist robe are too enviable!
This is a Purple Gold Cloud Record, a Dragon and Phoenix Book, or in simpler terms, a "heavenly book," and a flawless original version of that heavenly book.
In the past, when the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought a great battle, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descended to earth with a heavenly book to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You.
The Celestial Master Zhang Daoling received scriptures and books from the Supreme Daoist Ancestor, promoted the power of the Zhengyi Alliance, and commanded Heaven and Earth, as well as instruct the spirits and deities.
The immortal Ge Xuan, Lady Wei of Mount Heng...
The rise of those founding masters and saints was mostly related to the "heavenly book," which was neither wordless nor written, but rather written in "cloud-patterned seals."
Legend has it that Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind, observed the heavens and earth and comprehended the "cloud patterns and inscriptions" within them, thus writing the Book of Changes, the ancestor of all human classics.
Therefore, it can be seen that the "cloud pattern seal" is not a script created by humans after birth, but a "script" or, more precisely, a "symbol".
These "symbols" contain the original laws and principles governing the world; they are also the "heavenly book" written by the world, the most original and flawless "heavenly book"!
However, the inner realm, having reached its limit of tolerance for Zuo Ruotong, this fake Realm True Person, would no longer give this "robber" who was desperately clinging to the door frame a chance to consider making excuses.
"boom!"
In the void of time and space, it was as if a thunderbolt struck from all directions. No, it was not a single thunderbolt, but countless electric dragons baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Zuo Ruotong.
These electric dragons and thunder dragons seemed oblivious to Lü Qian, who was only inches away from Zuo Ruotong. They merely swept past the young Taoist clad in "cloud-patterned talismans" and lunged at the almost ethereal Zuo Ruotong.
"Then thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Lü. We'll meet again another day."
"Also, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lü to pass on a message to my junior disciple, Lu Jin..."
Seeing the dragons launching a fierce attack on him from all sides, Zuo Ruotong's illusory figure became almost dissipated, and his figure, which was about to dissipate, completely vanished into nothingness in the inner landscape.
Just as the last wisp of ethereal white mist vanished from the inner landscape, two or three words filled with love and kindness were delivered to Lü Qian on a gentle breeze.
"My disciple, I have no regrets. No matter which path you choose, you will always be my personal disciple, Zuo Ruotong."
"Given today's outcome, I, Zuo Ruotong, should apologize to you and to all of you."
"Let it go. The Triple Rebirth has never been glorious, but I believe it will become glorious in your hands."
"There will be successors."
