Chapter 450 Famous Scene: The Daoist Mother Chasing the Moon! The Truth of Disease! The One Who Retu
Chapter 450 Memorable Scene—The Daoist Mother Chasing the Moon! The Truth of Disease! The One Who Unifies All Things
Lu Yu never underestimated these top experts, so he had prepared multiple trump cards in advance to guard against various unforeseen circumstances.
For example, this special treasure was transformed from a Chaos Egg that was bitten off the Moon of the Evil God's Breeding.
Combined with Golden Laurel Wine and the Chapter of the Moon, you can summon a divine messenger to enter the other side of the Eternal Moon.
This is a rule; if it is followed, it will inevitably be fulfilled.
Even if the Ancient Celestial Venerable was incredibly powerful?
Can it compare to the moon, which is on par with the sun?
However, this legend is very similar to Chang'e flying to the moon, except that the latter represents the earliest humans' beautiful aspirations for immortality and the moon, as a kind of hope.
However, it's important to understand that mythology is metaphorical. Many people only see the joys and sorrows within it, but fail to discover the evolution of the pantheon behind it.
The moon goddess, Hengwo, who initially pursued immortality and freedom, was given a feminine concept and became Heng'e. Finally, she lost her divine status and became Chang'e.
This represents the infighting between different pantheons.
The sun represents the yang aspect, with male deities rising to power and gradually becoming orthodox. In ordinary historical terms, this signifies the patriarchal society further strengthening its rule, and the addition of Yi the Archer as a consort, along with the rabbit, which is most skilled at reproduction, symbolizes our society's need for reproduction and population.
In the realm of illness, this meant that Heng'e, a woman of great supernatural powers, had perished, lost her status, and was no longer qualified to remain on the moon, thus being forced to reincarnate in the human world.
In the final story, Heng'e steals the elixir of immortality that Da Yi obtained from the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West is the ruler of Yin and the mother of metal. She symbolizes war, plague, and death, yet she also possesses the elixir of immortality and is the master of female immortals.
It's normal for Him to help Heng'e.
But from this perspective, Lu Yu suddenly had a whimsical thought: could the elixir of immortality not actually be a medicine?
It's a path!
Only by following this path can one return to the moon and become the moon goddess once more.
That's how Chang'e flew to the moon!
Wu Gang used an axe to chop down the laurel tree, which represents gold. Could it be that consuming the elixir of immortality comes at a price, such as cutting off a portion of his authority as a reward demanded by the Queen Mother of the West?
The authority of the moon?
Or the right to reproduce?
Lu Yu was a studious and inquisitive person, so he naturally asked Heng'e directly through telepathy to see if she knew anything.
"You'd be perfect as a novelist; you'd be very popular in the Tang Dynasty." The Empress didn't give a direct answer, but simply said this.
Lu Yu shrugged, smiled without saying a word, and continued playing the Moon Chapter after seeing that the Daoist was restrained by the Eternal Moon.
The chapter on the moon seen by the Eye of Truth is actually more than one. If translated, it is essentially a multi-functional user manual for the moon, containing sacrifices, prayers, plundering, and... courtship to the ancient moon.
I wonder which genius wrote this, that they actually wanted to... the moon.
This is not a goddess concept derived from the moon; even the three evil gods are indescribable, let alone Himself.
The Ming Cult is a heretical sect!
Among them are forbidden-level musical pieces that can summon the power of the moon and even play the Moon Ascension Chapter, but one must bear the corresponding price.
However, Lu Yu couldn't see the specific content clearly, so it was irrelevant to him for the time being.
In this chaotic symphony, only one thing corresponds to return.
When Lu Yu finished reading the contents, he felt fortunate that he had the Celestial Breathing Technique and had undergone multiple transformations, enabling him to exhale and transform into a storm.
Otherwise, given the human lung capacity and body structure, it would be impossible for them to play this piece.
Some notes are no longer just music, but a manifestation of rules.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously hugged the Empress tighter, feeling her softness. He was not taking advantage of her; he simply wanted to use her lunar power to help him play a few key points of the bagpipes.
He has great respect for women. For example, the saintess would always blush and say that he was an excellent pastry chef with amazing skills!
Whoohoo!
Between heaven and earth, the air currents accelerated and transformed into wind, carrying musical notes that resonated throughout the world. The sound of bagpipes was melodious and ethereal, echoing across the sky!
The opening notes of the movement are cheerful, as if welcoming the traveler back, while the middle notes are somber, as if realizing that things have changed and everything has become empty.
However, the aftertaste took a strange turn; the returning travelers discovered something, gaining more pleasure and...
Crazy!
It seems to yearn for something on the moon, yet remains unreachable.
As for the ending, although it was clearly a bagpipe performance, it sounded like the croaking of a toad, echoing throughout the world.
Chapter of the Moon – The Sacred Toad Returns to the Moon!
hum!
The radiant light of the ancient moon briefly dispelled the strange phenomenon of the Old Mother of Lishan.
At the ancient center of the moon, endless moonlight converged, forming a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth, casting its light upon the imperial capital and enveloping Lu Yu and the Empress.
"The Path of the Moon!" The Empress was shocked. As a resident of the Moon Palace, she had naturally seen this path before.
When one attains great supernatural powers, it is by stepping onto this that one enters the Moon Palace!
Before she could think it through, she saw a three-legged bird with pure white wings, surrounded by moonlight, fly out from the moonlight tunnel, radiant and holy.
"Hey!"
Its gaze was haughty, its long tail feathers trailing behind it, surrounded by swirling vortexes of yin energy, as deep as black holes, radiating a vast pressure that surpassed all things. Behind it was a chain of moonlight, pulling a magnificent carriage carved with rabbit and toad patterns, radiating brilliance, like a crescent moon descending to earth.
"The Moon Crow and the Divine Moon Chariot!" The Empress was so shocked that she could not describe her feelings.
The Moon Crow is the offspring of the Moon Lord, and like the Golden Crow, it is a divine child who holds the gifts of the moon.
There are nine heads in total, each wielding the ultimate Yin power. If multiple heads appear simultaneously, it will cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang in the realm of disease, triggering a cataclysmic disaster.
Because of its immense destructive power, it was locked in the dark side of the moon after the Golden Crow incident and rarely appears.
As for the Divine Moon Chariot, it possesses the ability to drag the ancient moon and is a symbol of the Moon Lord's authority.
Even during Heng'e's peak, we only saw her a few times, and after her fall, the chances became even fewer.
Unexpectedly, I was summoned by one of Lu Yu's musical pieces today.
Could this guy be the reincarnation of the Moon Lord?
Or is it a pawn placed by some ancient celestial being?
"Hey!"
The Moon Crow looked at Lu Yu, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept over them, making the little spider and the mouse feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"don’t worry!"
Lu Yu spoke to comfort him, then tossed the half-finished Golden Laurel Wine in his hand over.
The moon crow snatched it in its mouth, raised its head, drank it down in a few gulps, and then casually smashed the jade bottle containing the wine on the ground.
It nodded in satisfaction, conveying a message to Lu Yu.
You can take four people to the other side of the moon.
Lu Yu immediately recalled all his pets into his beast-taming space, treating them as one person. After a moment's thought, he reached out and grabbed the distraught Li Quan, taking her with him.
Since the old woman values him so much, he might come in handy. He's also the only person she knows in this world.
As for the remaining spots, Lu Yu had no use for them, so he simply gave them to the Empress as a favor.
"Aren't you going to let go?" The Empress glanced at him, her gaze meaningful.
Lu Yu ignored her, after all, they were going to the moon, which was the other party's territory, and he had to prevent this woman from just walking away.
It's better to be shameless than to be reckless!
"snort!"
The Empress snorted coldly, not taking it to heart. However, her choice was somewhat unexpected; she didn't bring any members of the Wu family, and didn't even glance at Princess Taiping. Instead, she chose…
Shangguan Wan'er!
"His Majesty!"
The latter was deeply moved, her eyes brimming with tears, like a little animal that had found its home.
Lu Yu seemed to be deep in thought when he saw this scene.
Splash!
With a soft cry, the Moon Crow flapped its wings and took flight, dragging the Divine Moon Chariot toward the ancient moon in the sky.
Within the Tang Dynasty, countless people witnessed this moon landing, their expressions filled with awe, and they shouted the name of Heng'e.
"Am I seeing things?"
Among them, powerful cultivators like Zhang Kui, with their strong physiques, could see more clearly and nearly popped their eyes out when they discovered Tian Lizi embracing the Empress.
I thought it was a battle of righteous paths, with Tianlizi representing the sect to oppose the Empress's ascension to the throne and suppress the dynasty.
did not expect……
It turned out to be something vulgar and base, involving love and affection.
They instantly conjured up all sorts of melodramatic stories in their minds, and felt a pang of pity...
Above the late emperor's head, there was a grassland, and that wild horse was about to return to the moon!
boom!
Just as they were marveling at the sight, the whole world began to shake violently, and countless cracks appeared in the sky.
The next second, it shattered with a deafening roar.
The world has been shattered!
Whoohoo!
A pitch-black gale swept in, engulfing the world and obliterating every inch of land. Countless creatures pleaded in vain, turning to ashes in an instant.
Before all living beings could even despair, they were enveloped by the shadow of death.
Li Quan stared blankly at this scene, his expression one of shock. The principles, laws, and methods of heaven that he had learned were so insignificant in the face of the Heavenly Venerable's great power.
As the world shattered, Lu Yu also saw the scene beyond the diseased realm.
"This is……"
What came into view was a vast and boundless river of history, darker than any he had ever seen, flowing with endless black historical dust, as if pus and blood were flowing from some rotting corpse. Countless disease domains and realms took root in the river of history, presenting a chaotic and distorted appearance.
They are like lesions that form after blood vessels are blocked, almost blocking the main channel of the long river of history, with only trickles continuing to flow downstream.
The various creatures from the realm of disease within were beyond the realm of demons, twisted and bizarre. Although they only appeared briefly, they stirred something within him.
It wasn't that they were powerful, but rather that they felt the power of truth.
However, unlike forbidden truths, these powers...
They seem to be able to plunder and accumulate each other, forming deeper symptoms, yet they are on a special kind of correct path.
It seems that a large number of ancient high-dimensional forces are intertwined inside, forming a special "pathology".
"Is being sick also right?"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and finally understood what Li Shan meant by "at the beginning".
If the world we've entered now is merely the initial stage of a terminal illness, then these are already terminally ill, developing all sorts of complications.
Moreover, what I saw was only a small part of the long river of history, a glimpse of the whole picture through a tube. It was hard to imagine how chaotic the history of the disease field had become.
Where does the main body of the disease community lie?
Did the ancient celestial beings contract their illnesses themselves, or did they lose control of their condition?
Just as he was pondering, the Empress's voice came from behind him: "Daoist nun, flip the table!"
The most difficult part of dealing with the Celestial Venerable's scheme is not how to counter each move, but the ability to devise a plan that transcends cause and effect, and wisdom that surpasses that of ordinary people.
Instead, after you've gone through countless hardships and won, they immediately come down to you and teach you a lesson through off-ring boxing.
What kind of nobody dares to challenge them?
Stomp them out and set things right!
As her words fell, Lu Yu could see the Daoist's blurry figure emerge, chasing after the Divine Moon Chariot.
Wherever it passed, it stirred up the entire historical river of disease, shattering many weak disease areas into nothingness.
In ancient times, there was Kuafu chasing the sun; today, there is the Daoist nun chasing the moon!
Golden lotuses bloomed, and from them stretched out countless women's arms, enveloped in sacred light, reaching out to grab them.
"Faster, speed up!!"
Lu Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't want to be forced into love by the Daoist nun. The age difference... could really kill someone. He urged the Moon Crow Divine Envoy to speed up the flight.
But the Moon God Envoy was not interested and ignored Lu Yu.
It's impossible to expect it to do more than half a bottle of Golden Laurel Wine after it's only drunk half a bottle.
"Let me try to stop Master... the Old Mother of Lishan!" Li Quan volunteered, wanting to contribute his strength, but Lu Yu ignored him.
They've already crushed the world, why would they care about a mere disciple or grand-disciple like you?
Not only will it not buy much time, but it might also be a trap left by the Old Mother of Lishan.
So Lu Yu ignored him and instead took out a lot of junk food that he had researched after successfully bribing the Void Crystal Hou, including some with the Moon attribute!
Although it does nothing to increase strength, it tastes good.
"Hey!"
The Moon God Envoy initially refused, but after taking a bite, his eyes lit up. After Lu Yu promised that there would be more than a dozen portions, he suddenly flapped his wings and instantly traversed billions of miles, using the power of the ancient moon to directly engage in a chase.
Even to make Lu Yu feel that he got his money's worth, he pulled off a few skillful maneuvers, almost getting caught.
Lu Yu and the others were terrified, but fortunately, Yue Wu was just showing off his skills and didn't actually do anything reckless. They quickly entered the moon.
Before leaving, Lu Yu waved his hand and said without turning his head:
"Stop chasing me, I don't take apprentices!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Moon Chariot vanished, as if it had been swallowed by the moon, leaving no trace.
The Daoist nun, who had been chasing after the moon, stopped in place and looked at the ancient moon in the void. Her originally sickly body suddenly gained a kind of sacred languor.
He was too lazy to look for it!
So He chose to return along the same path, taking a step that was countless times faster than when He had been chasing Him before.
hum!
Wherever the Daoist nun passed, mysterious toad patterns appeared, spreading the power of creation. The originally broken world was as if it had been rewound, and everything was quickly repaired, mountains and rivers were rebuilt, and dead creatures were also reshaped.
It felt like a dream, a return to the moment of the first moon landing!
In the diseased realm of the Tang Dynasty,
"This can be considered an ascension!"
"Tenriko is so lucky to have won the heart of such a beauty!"
"A model for us monks!"
Zhang Kui and the others marveled, completely forgetting about the appearance of the Daoist Heavenly Venerable.
Or rather...
He never appeared at this time, so how could we see him?
After a few days,
On the edge of the Tang Dynasty's diseased territory, the phantom of the long river of history emerged, transforming into a gateway.
A dozen or so figures dressed in modern clothes appeared, exuding a variety of different auras, but all of them carried the same pathological aura that Lu Yu had glimpsed in a fleeting moment.
The leader was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a buzz cut. He had the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier. He looked at the moon in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Which dynasty's timeline is this? We have traversed such a long period of time, which means that the depth of this historical river is at least before the Jin Dynasty."
"If it's going to be promoted... that would be troublesome, after all, it's the Magic Promotion Catalogue!" someone nearby complained.
The history of the Jin Dynasty is a complete mess.
Everyone was cooking in the same pot, and there were familiar faces everywhere.
The various battle records are like a chaotic melee between magicians, offering no reference value.
"Although the danger level of the diseased time and space is not simply calculated according to the dynasty, the closer to the past and the deeper into history, the higher the danger level becomes. It is easy for uncontrollable big things to be born, and it may even be related to strange immortal techniques."
"Our country has such a long history, I really envy the Americans, their history books are so thin. But thankfully, the history of our indigenous people has always been a blessing to them." A long-haired young man said, chewing gum.
The others nodded in agreement.
Deng Deng Deng!
Just as everyone was talking, a fine horse galloped over, but as it got closer, it slowed down and transformed into a three-colored deer. It hopped and skipped next to the short-haired youth and affectionately rubbed against his hand.
"Ling Rong, your 'calling a deer a horse' technique is getting better and better. Even we didn't notice when it went out." His companions marveled.
"Of course, this is a history skill that I finally got my hands on." Ling Rong's eyes were full of pride.
"Alright, stop showing off. Tell me quickly, have you found out which dynasty this is? I'll use the [Clothing Technique] to sew clothes for you so you can integrate into society."
Ling Rong nodded, but after receiving the news from Xiao Lu's investigation, his expression turned strange. He hesitated, then finally exhaled and said, "This is the Tang Dynasty!"
"What?! The Tang Dynasty!"
"Which period is it? Don't tell me it's the late Tang Dynasty!"
"This is it! I remember that the top elite troops of the Official History Bureau were completely wiped out in the Tang Dynasty era. They only sent back news that they seemed to have encountered the devastating Battle of Xiangji Temple at the end of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Those guys are really unlucky!"
"Stop talking, we're not much better off than each other."
"I thought that with the medicine extracted from the 'People's Blood and Oil Technique,' I would be free from all worries. Now it seems that I can start the feast ahead of schedule."
"..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
The middle-aged man felt that this kind of morale was not good, and encouraged, "No matter what, we must find the source of the disease in this diseased time and space, and find a way to remove it. We must never let the fictitious diseased history descend into the modern world and distort the real world."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Going back to the past doesn't necessarily mean going back to real history; it could be a fictitious history derived from a certain timeline, or a possibility of some parallel world.
If left unresolved, numerous disease histories from the same time period will gradually overlap, eventually…
All things return to one.
If it were to become a fully corrupted Tang Dynasty, it would have an impact on the present world!
In particular, without addressing some of the root causes of the disease, they cannot escape the disease zone.
Running away means certain death, so I might as well fight them!
The middle-aged man smiled and encouraged, "Danger also brings opportunity; it might just help us take another step forward."
In their world, anyone who can remove a diseased spacetime will receive various rewards and become increasingly powerful.
This is a kind of hope, allowing them to persevere.
After calming the team down, the middle-aged man looked at Ling Rong and said in a deep voice, "Ling Rong, we are ready. Let's get straight to the point: how serious is the disease affecting this spacetime?"
The others also held their breath, clenched their fists, and prepared to face the nightmare scenarios of the early and late Tang Dynasty.
If it really is a battle at Xiangji Temple that has become corrupted, then one can buy a coffin for oneself in advance.
"..." Ling Rong hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The source of this world's anomalies is the headless remains of an ancient immortal, which can accelerate people's comprehension of Daoist techniques, giving rise to numerous disease-causing methods and objects, leading to chaos."
"Ancient Immortal!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, sensing that the mortality rate must be high, and that the entire army might be wiped out.
But soon, as Ling Rong recounted his story, their worries turned into shock!
The thief of the Daoist lineage, Tianlizi, swept through the four major lineages of Daoism—Celestial Masters, Fire Temple, and others—upon birth. He seized the limbs of an ancient immortal, infiltrated the imperial palace, suppressed a nation, and took the body. Finally…
He ascended to heaven with the Empress in his arms!
The entire diseased domain is now only left with some minor troublemakers that haven't been dealt with yet. As long as the four major lineages intensify their cleanup efforts, the normal historical timeline will soon be restored.
In other words, they only need to find a place to stay for a few days before they can go home.
"What kind of super-handsome guy has suddenly appeared out of nowhere?!"
