# Chapter 3969: Kunlun and Wushen
With the Six Paths Reincarnation empowering him, Chi Kunlun's entire temperament underwent a dramatic transformation. He was like both Buddha and demon, his momentum as fierce as a blazing sun. The upper part of his robe shattered completely, revealing muscles of golden color.
Golden body and demonic form coexisted.
"Good, now this is more like it!"
Chi Kongle's divine qi and divine pattern runes surged outward continuously, dividing into five colors, containing five paths, condensing into five layers of rule oceans.
"Jade Tree Plants Divine Sea, Ink Moon Illuminates Past and Present."
These five layers of ocean were derived from Xue Jue War God's "Five Seas Divine Path." However, the five paths that constituted her five seas were the Five Elements Path, completely different from Xue Jue War God's five seas and five paths.
A jade tree took root and sprouted in the fifth sea, growing upward, breaking through space, piercing through the five layers of rule sea regions.
Instantly, the flow of time slowed drastically, suppressing Chi Kunlun's movements, perception, and divine qi circulation speed.
When the Ink Moon rose above the five seas, the power of darkness spread throughout the Shura Battle Soul Sea.
At this moment, Chi Kongle was even more demonic than Chi Kunlun, her baleful qi soaring to the heavens.
At the edge of the Shura Battle Soul Sea, Qing Jing said: "Master passed down the mysteries of the 'Taiyin' Jade Tree Ink Moon to Senior Sister Kongle, perfectly combining the power of time and darkness."
Zhang Hongchen held her sword before her chest, saying: "Not just that! Not only the Jade Tree Ink Moon, but also Blood Absolute Clan Leader's Five Seas—she has gathered the strengths of both. Her attainment in the Dao of Law is definitely not inferior to Chi Kunlun's Six Paths Reincarnation. The outcome of victory and defeat grows increasingly subtle!"
The same "Six Paths Reincarnation," as a later-stage comprehending practitioner, Chi Kunlun's Six Paths Reincarnation was clearly far inferior to Yan Wushen's Six Paths Reincarnation.
Just like Qing Jing, who cultivated the "Wuji Divine Dao," could never compare to Zhang Ruochen.
One was building a boat, the other was painting a boat.
No matter how exquisite and detailed the painted boat, it could never obtain the most essential meaning of a boat.
Of course, as a later-stage comprehending practitioner, if in the future one could step out from the concept of "boat" and walk a completely self-created path, then the achievement would naturally be entirely different, perhaps even catching up to the boat-builder.
For instance, transforming from painting boats to studying the art of painting itself—this would be a fundamental change.
If Chi Kunlun and Qing Jing could in the future truly progress from pursuing painted boats to comprehending the pursuit of painting itself, they would undoubtedly find their own path to becoming an Ancestor.
Heavenly Mother was currently at this stage.
She had been painting the Three Great Demon Sources and the Dao of Immovable Bright King Great Venerable, reaching the extreme, cultivating to the Half-Ancestor realm. To break through further, she would need to step out from painting boats, comprehend painting itself, or build her own boat. This was precisely why Heavenly Mother studied various divine techniques and secret scriptures from across the world.
This was like a painter who only knew how to paint boats, beginning to observe all things in the world and start painting other subjects.
The might of Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle continued to accumulate, like two stars burning fiercely. Various Dao laws and rules had already clashed together first.
"Boom!"
In the instant they collided, dazzling brilliance erupted. The light and shadow of Six Paths Reincarnation and Jade Tree Plants Divine Sea simultaneously exploded apart.
Only a single Ink Moon hung above the Shura Battle Soul Sea.
Chi Kongle stood within the Ink Moon, blood streaks at the corners of her mouth, her eyes complex as she gazed downward.
After the various divine qi storms dissipated, the badly wounded Chi Kunlun walked out from the Shura Battle Soul Sea. His golden body was broken, his physical body riddled with holes, blood gushing continuously from his wounds.
He stopped walking, looked at Beigong Lan who approached with concern, and said: "I lost."
Beigong Lan immediately released divine qi to heal his wounds, asking: "Why didn't you use the 'Death Heavenly Scripture'?"
Chi Kunlun slightly raised his arm, signaling Beigong Lan to stop releasing divine qi. He turned back to look at Chi Kongle standing in the Ink Moon, and said in a low voice: "The 'Death Heavenly Scripture' is only for enemies."
"Whoosh!"
As rings of golden light surged from within his body, Chi Kunlun's wounds gradually healed.
Chi Kunlun understood clearly that he no longer had any chance to rescue the mysterious sword cultivator and the Dark Strange Remnant Body. He resolutely walked out of the Nine Heavens Celestial World.
Passing by the Sacred Lake, he glanced at the Space-Time Chaos Lotus on the lake surface, saying: "Kongle! I leave the junior brothers and sisters, the younger siblings, to you!"
"Whoosh!"
Chi Kunlun transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the Nine Heavens Celestial World.
As soon as he landed on the ground outside the celestial world, he saw Chi Yao standing with her back to him in the bamboo forest of the Heavenly Human Academy.
Chi Yao carried no imposing aura, but Chi Kunlun felt unprecedented pressure, unable even to breathe.
Chi Kunlun clasped his hands together and bowed: "Mother, I lost!"
"With such strong killing intent, where are you going?" Chi Yao asked.
Chi Kunlun lowered his head, staring at the green stones on the ground, silent for a long time, his eyes growing increasingly red.
Chi Yao's sigh echoed through the bamboo forest: "Wen Zhiren has already been imprisoned within the Ten Thousand Buddha Formation. He doesn't have many days left to live!"
Surprise and joy appeared in Chi Kunlun's eyes. He suddenly raised his head, all the grievance, unwillingness, and killing intent in his heart vanishing completely.
Originally, he had planned to go meet the Nether Hall Hall Master and fight to the death with him.
"Do you think with your cultivation, you can deal with Wen Zhiren? Don't forget, your father and mother are your strongest backing."
Chi Yao pointed a finger, striking Chi Kunlun's chest, dispersing the particle of Nether Light that Wen Zhiren had left inside his body.
After Chi Kunlun stabilized his retreating momentum, he said: "I naturally know that even if I fight to the death, I cannot be a match for the Nether Hall Hall Master, but at least I must rescue Grandfather."
Chi Yao nodded slightly, saying: "Having this filial piety, your father will naturally forgive your mistakes once he knows."
Chi Kunlun said: "But Qishier Pin Lian has collected Grandfather's divine blood and divine soul. Once she performs the curse..."
"This is not something you should be concerned about! Go back. Don't just run away after losing. You must shoulder the responsibilities that fall on you. When your father returns, he will decide your punishment." Chi Yao said.
Chi Kunlun stood rooted to the spot. After a long while, he knelt on one knee, saying: "Child is not trying to escape. The responsibilities I must bear, I will certainly shoulder. But please, Mother, allow me to leave Kunlun Realm!"
Chi Yao's gaze gradually turned cold, saying: "Give me an explanation."
Chi Kunlun bit his lips tightly, heavily kowtowed to the ground, then remained silent.
In the bamboo forest, the wind rustled.
"This is the first time you have defied my will. Good, very good..."
When Chi Kunlun raised his head, Chi Yao's figure had already disappeared into the bamboo forest. He couldn't help but shed tears: "Mother, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Boom!"
Flying out of Kunlun Realm's atmosphere, Chi Kunlun immediately sensed intense spatial fluctuations behind him. The entire great world shook with it.
He abruptly turned back to look.
He saw light patterns flickering in the clouds, formation inscription patterns flowing like rivers, quickly spreading throughout the atmosphere outside Kunlun Realm. Then they connected to the starry sky, intersecting with the divine throne planets of the gods.
There was no doubt that Kunlun Realm must have been attacked by a powerful enemy.
Just as Chi Kunlun hesitated whether to return to Kunlun Realm to help, Yan Wushen's voice transmission entered his ears: "Ancient God Road, Seventh Communication Station. Come see me immediately."
...
Yan Wushen sat at a table outside the station, using both hands to savor fragrant roasted meat.
The roasted meat was golden in color, its aroma rich.
Chi Kunlun walked to the table, cupped his fists in salute, and was about to speak.
Yan Wushen gestured: "Sit and eat together. This is Golden Winged Roc wing—not something you can eat anytime. Hmm... not bad... try it..."
Chi Kunlun sat down in the seat to Yan Wushen's right but did not reach for the food. Instead, his gaze fell on a woman sitting in the seat to Yan Wushen's left.
This woman wore a lake-green divine robe, extremely elegant. Both her temperament and appearance were indescribably beautiful. She was clearly no ordinary person.
While Chi Kunlun was curious, Yan Wushen already explained the woman's origin: "This is the Peacock Heavenly Queen of the Demon God Realm. She is not an outsider. Kunlun, whatever you have to say, speak freely. There is no need to avoid her."
The Peacock Heavenly Queen smiled charmingly, also observing Chi Kunlun.
Chi Kunlun asked: "Master, what exactly happened to Kunlun Realm?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Their target is not Kunlun Realm. Besides, today's Kunlun Realm has many experts, and with the Ancestor power contained in the Nine Heavens Celestial World left by the Great Venerable, even a Half-Ancestor would find it difficult to accomplish much." Yan Wushen again gestured for Chi Kunlun to taste the food.
Chi Kunlun tore off a piece of meat, half fat and half lean, but did not eat it. He asked again: "Master, why are you so certain their target is not Kunlun Realm?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Yan Wushen's mouth: "Because I told them the secret of the Twelve Stone Men. Naturally, they would have no need to forcefully attack Kunlun Realm. However, a feigned attack is still necessary to draw many people over. This good show must continue to play out!"
Chi Kunlun's expression turned solemn. He glanced at the Peacock Heavenly Queen, then said: "The old clan emperors of the Twelve Ancient Clans each possess extraordinary combat power. If they all emerge together, the situation will definitely spiral out of control."
Yan Wushen said: "The more out of control the situation becomes, the better it is."
Chi Kunlun showed a puzzled expression.
After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Yan Wushen said: "The world judges that your father has the highest talent, and I, your master, have the second highest talent. Both have the potential to become Ancestors. Below that, Blood Absolute Clan Leader and Desolate Heaven Hall Master are also rare geniuses rarely seen throughout history, with limitless future achievements. Additionally, Ice Emperor, Dragon Lord, Qiangu Nüdi, including your mother, Bai Qinger, Ji Fanxin, Que, Dizu Divine Lord, Xuanyuan Lian... and so on. How many heavenly prodigies exist in this age? Not to mention Hao Tian, Heavenly Mother, Fengdu Dadi, Wen Tianjun... and others who already look down upon the world as unparalleled dominant figures. It can be said that this era surpasses any era in history."
"But so what?"
"In the eyes of an Immortal, any heavenly prodigy is nothing but an ant. Even Half-Ancestors like Hao Tian and Heavenly Mother, if they have no value in existing, can only face death."
"Imagine, if there were only one Immortal in this world, who among us could live to see tomorrow?"
"It is precisely because there is more than one Immortal, mutually restraining and scheming against each other, that we can survive and have the opportunity to continue cultivating and growing stronger. Because they need helpers to eliminate each other. The stronger the helper, the better... of course, they cannot become stronger than them."
Yan Wushen smiled again, then said: "I, as well as your father, all need this time. We all need the opportunity to continue cultivating. Therefore, the God Realm releasing the Black Hand is indeed very disadvantageous for the Nether Ancestor, but for me and your father, it is an extremely good thing. The subtlety of this—it's normal that you cannot understand it now. You will know later!"
Chi Kunlun cautiously lowered his voice, asking: "Master is not afraid of the Nether Ancestor hearing these words?"
Yan Wushen said: "The master of that so-called God Realm has been hiding for who knows how many years, always without a trace. Now that he has finally revealed his tracks, how could the Nether Ancestor possibly let go of this opportunity? Therefore, that elder cannot possibly be in this world right now. And precisely because of this, there is a matter of utmost importance that we must take advantage of this opportunity to handle."
"What important matter?" Chi Kunlun asked.
The Peacock Heavenly Queen suddenly stood up.
"Heavenly Queen, where are you going?" Yan Wushen asked.
The Peacock Heavenly Queen said: "I think it's better if I don't know what comes next."
The Peacock Heavenly Queen already regretted coming here with Yan Wushen. The words she had just heard were enough to cause the extermination of the Peacock Clan.
She had originally thought that Yan Wushen was the Nether Ancestor's successor, backed by this mighty giant who shook the ages, and that befriending him would secure a backing for the Peacock Clan.
But she never expected that Yan Wushen had his own schemes and was not so respectful toward the Nether Ancestor.
This was far too dangerous!
Yan Wushen said: "How can that be? For this matter to succeed, we still need the Heavenly Queen's help."
The Peacock Heavenly Queen knew she could no longer extricate herself. She showed a bitter smile, sat down again, and said: "I have only just entered the Great Unbound Infinite realm. The matters you, sir, deal with are all great affairs. I'm afraid I cannot be of help."
"The Heavenly Queen only needs to bring us into the Heavenly Court." Yan Wushen said.
The Peacock Heavenly Queen asked: "What are you doing entering the Heavenly Court?"
Yan Wushen spoke without any concealment: "In the Space Divine Temple's Buzhou Mountain, the father of the Swastika Azure Dragon is buried. I want to try and see if I can awaken him."
The Peacock Heavenly Queen had heard the legend of Buzhou Mountain.
Legend has it that during the ancient Primordial Era, in the War of the Spirit Apes, one of the Twelve Ancient Clans' most supreme ancestral elders fell. After burial, Bai Yuan, one of the Nine Great Witch Ancestors, guarded the tomb.
Who knows how many eons passed, the tomb sedimented into a mountain peak, which is now the Heavenly Court's first divine mountain, Buzhou Mountain.
The Peacock Heavenly Queen said: "This is impossible!"
"How could it be impossible?"
Yan Wushen asked in return.
The Peacock Heavenly Queen shook her head, saying: "How many millions of years has it been? Even an Ancestor's bones would have turned to ashes. Besides, the Heavenly Court has many gods standing guard. They will not give you the opportunity to enter Buzhou Mountain."
Yan Wushen appeared very calm, saying: "That is precisely why I chose such an excellent opportunity. Heavenly Queen, you are a Great Unbound Infinite. Entering the Heavenly Court, entering Buzhou Mountain—how could the gods of the Heavenly Court possibly refuse you this face?"
Chi Kunlun said: "I am confident I can enter Buzhou Mountain! But with Kunlun Realm under attack, if I go to the Heavenly Court at this time, it will certainly arouse suspicion among the Heavenly Palace's heavenly officials."
The Peacock Heavenly Queen had been deep in thought. Suddenly, she thought of something and exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that the father of the Swastika Azure Dragon is not a Primordial Being at all, but an Immortal who survived from the previous epoch?"
Yan Wushen wiped his lips, saying: "Whether it's the ancestor of the Primordial Beings or an Immortal from the previous epoch, as long as we can awaken him, the universe will become even more lively. We juniors who survive in the cracks will have the opportunity to continue living as their pawns. I told you to eat, but you didn't. What a waste! Let's go, to Buzhou Mountain."
