Chapter 741: Chapter 704: Law Transmission Ultimate Teaching
As if responding to that figure’s words, the whole heaven and earth suddenly became dark.
Xu Bai even faintly heard helpless cries of despair.
Then, the frail figure slowly shook his head and turned around.
And looked straight into Xu Bai’s eyes.
Boom!
The explosion echoed within his consciousness. Because, to Xu Bai’s horror, the face of that figure was identical to his!
It’s not right …
The vision blurred, and the figure’s face suddenly changed. Xu Bai seemed to see again the peerless facade of Mr. Bai.
But it was a bit different from the last time he saw him at the Beast Taming Sect. It was not as breathtakingly beautiful and heavenly like before.
There was more of a mournful look of compassion and humanity in it. More authentic, with a hint of “mortality”.
His clear eyes seemed to contain innumerable emotions and stories, wanting to speak out yet unable to.
Like a vortex, Xu Bai’s consciousness was gradually swallowed within.
…
“Wake up!”
A light yell, sounding like a thunderbolt, seemed to come from beyond the heavens. Despite being intercepted by the infinite world, it suddenly appeared in Xu Bai’s ears.
Xu Bai’s eyes instantly regained a hint of life from the previous dullness.
Then looking at the Mr. Bai in front of him, the flesh of his face seemed like melting wax, slowly being dissolved. The formerly breathtakingly beautiful face now looked horrifying.
After a few moments, the horrifying transformation on Mr. Bai’s face had spread all over his body.
Just like as if being carved away by a gust of wind, in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a stark white skeleton.
The hollow eye sockets were staring straight at Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was shocked and terrified instantly.
The surrounding scenery, like a glass, began to crack.
Broke apart in an instant.
A slight dizzy sensation came over him, the Illusory Realm vanished completely.
The black-clothed cultivator who came to guide him, gave him a once-over, then slowly said: “This place carries a faint scent of the Celestial Dharma Bearer. Cultivators who come here for the first time will often feel something and experience illusions.”
Having not been his first time to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, Xu Bai naturally knew that.
The last time his main body came here, he saw the towering statue of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.
From that statue, Li Fan felt an extreme sense of crisis and a faint sense of familiarity.
But this time, when he arrived here with the clone made from Xu Ke’s Blood Essence and intertwined with Mr. Bai’s spirit,
what he saw, were these bizarre scenes.
“There’s an immortal path that cannot be trodden upon, as the Celestial Dharma Bearer sits above it…”
“The face of Mr. Bai changing to look exactly like that of the clone. And finally, that monster-like image of him turning into a skeleton…”
“What does all this allude to?”
Even after breaking free from the Illusory Realm, Xu Bai seemed to still be soaked in the shock it brought.
Just out of instinct, he followed the black-clothed cultivator who was guiding him.
Perhaps Xu Bai’s miraculous beauty was effective, the black-clothed cultivator, seeing the situation, did not interrupt him.
Just silently guided the way.
It was not until both of them passed through the transportation array, became beams of light, and quickly shuttled through the space within the Immortal Alliance Headquarters that Xu Bai slowly came out of the impact brought by the illusion.
At this point, the black-clothed guiding cultivator explained to Xu Bai: “The hint of residue left by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, we usually call it the [True Meaning of Transmitting Technique]. The True Meaning of Transmitting Technique, is profoundly mysterious and has infinite wondrous uses. Cultivators are generally affected by its illusion only when they enter the Immortal Alliance Headquarters for the first time without any preparation. Once they get used to the existence of the True Meaning of Transmitting Technique after staying here for a while, it’s then very difficult to face illusions.”
The details of the explanation were something that the guide had not given when Li Fan previously came here with Han Yi and Xi Men Yue in his previous life.
“It seems ‘judging someone by their appearance’ is human nature. Even we who cultivate are not exempt.” Xu Bai said in his heart, but seized the opportunity to ask, “According to what you said, the chance to face the [True Meaning of Transmitting Technique] directly seems extremely rare, there’s just one time in a lifetime. But other than seeing some illusions, I didn’t notice it having any other effects, did it?”
The black-clothed cultivator seriously replied: “What we cultivate is the new method taught by the Sovereign. Therefore, when we face the [True Meaning of Transmitting Technique], what we see is not just mere illusions. But rather, it’s likely related to one’s [Ultimate of the Tao].”
Without waiting for Xu Bai’s question, he voluntarily explained what the [Ultimate of the Tao] was: “Every cultivator, since setting foot on the cultivation path, generally feels that the path of ascension is full of unknowns and hazards. How to cultivate at each level and how to choose the method that suits oneself best, all of this we must explore ourselves.”
“But life does not offer the chance to start again. Once a mistake is made, you can only regret it for the rest of your life and cut oneself off from the Dao. Therefore, each step we take, we have to be extremely careful and cautious.”
“The [Ultimate of the Tao] is seen in the eyes of the Sovereign as the end point of the Dao that’s most suitable for us. The Celestial Dharma Bearer is such an extraordinary person, his vision is innumerable times higher than ours. What he affirms, is basically no different from the reality.”
“So, the illusion you just saw is vitally important. You should ponder over it day and night, there will surely be great gains every time.”
Countless floating lands, flashed rapidly past in the background.
The black-clothed guide, unhurriedly narrated the mysterious properties of the [True Meaning of Transmitting Technique].
Finally wrapping it up by saying: “Our cultivation is like a stairway to heaven, shrouded in dense mist. If one is not careful, walks the wrong path, one could fall and shatter.”
“And the Ultimate of the Tao indicated by the True Meaning of Transmitting Technique is like a beacon lit at the peak of the stairway to heaven. Its light pierces through the mist, illuminating the direction.”
“This is the sympathy of the Sovereign, towards the countless living beings!”
As the two returned from their beam forms back to human forms, stepping back on the ground, the black-clothed cultivator’s words came to a sudden halt.
His face returned to the previously cold demeanor.
A straight stone path of aquamarine color, led to a large black stele at the end.
That was where the Headquarters of Law Enforcement Hall of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was.
Stepping on the Road of Invocation, the spiritual energy in his body immediately sunk to the bottom.
Like a mortal, Xu Bai took one step at a time, moving towards his destination.
It was a fairly long journey.
When he reached the end, the black-clothed guide spoke again in a soft tone: “Show your Jade Decree of Law Invocation here, and you will be allowed to enter. I cannot go in, so I’ll wait for you here.”
Xu Bai slightly bowed, and then took out the Jade Badge.
As usual, a seven-colored passage emerged from the stele and Xu Bai paced into it.
…
“Yan Fajue application user, Xu Bai.”
“Serial number: 03. Permission level: Fusion of Dao.”
“Please wait patiently here, the estimated waiting time left is thirteen hours.”
A somewhat familiar voice rang in Xu Bai’s ears.
