Chapter 629 That gentleman
When the air waves dissipated invisibly, everything was silent!
A large area centered on the purple-gold thunder bell was instantly completely enveloped by this rising sea of fire intertwined with the power of the Vermillion Bird's divine fire and the Phoenix's nirvana!
The flames formed an absolute barrier, isolating the inside from the outside. Miraculously, the flames that burned everything did not spread to other areas of the Heavenly Palace at all, as if restrained by an invisible force.
When the figure of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix completely disappeared in the depths of the red-gold sea of fire, the violent forced clearance program of the Purple-Gold Thunder Bell also came to an abrupt halt!
The golden lightning that hadn't yet vanished froze in mid-air. Then, as if guided by some higher will, it split into several relatively gentle, fine, fragmented lightning bolts, each carrying a sense of repair and purification. These fell upon the "World Bubble," the four Outer Gods, Shen Jia'an's lingering soul, and... Su Mohui and Xuanyuan Shaoze, deep within the Tushita Palace.
When the medical immortals in the Tushita Palace saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
.......
After burning for three days and three nights, the raging sea of crimson fire finally began to slowly collapse inward. When the last trace of flame faded into the void, the night would also come to an end.
However, just at dawn, before the last trace of darkness retreated, the three constellations of Liu, Xing and Zhang corresponding to the Phoenix suddenly burst out in the sky with an unprecedented bright light!
Immediately afterwards, the entire southern seven constellations surrounding and carrying these three constellations - Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen - connected together, and at the same time shone with a golden light that was so strong that it was dazzling!
The seven stars of the Vermillion Bird were fully revealed, and a huge phantom of the Vermillion Bird star map flashed across the sky!
And, when the first ray of sunlight of the next day, carrying the unique fiery and rebirth of the Suzaku and Phoenix after their nirvana, sprinkled on the silent purple-gold thunder bell—
The Southern Dipper Star God (in charge of life) among the Five Star Gods, the Sun Star God who is in charge of the rising and setting of the sun and his illumination of all things among the Nine Star Gods, and the Moon Star God who is in charge of the rotation of the moon's phases and its waxing and waning, were summoned to the jade steps of the Lingxiao Palace in the Yaochi Fairy Palace at the same time by an invisible divine thought.
The three star gods stood solemnly with their heads bowed and reported in a low voice.
"Reporting to the Queen," the Southern Dipper Star Lord spoke in a steady voice, bowing with a subtle hint of excitement. "The spiritual brilliance of the Suzaku constellation has been rekindled, and the Southern Lihuo aura is flourishing. Lingguang Divine Lord, also known as the Suzaku Divine Lord, is returning from the Great Qin starry sky and will be here soon."
The two Star Lords, Taiyin and Sun, met each other's gazes. Taiyin took a half step forward and added in a cold voice, "The eight trigrams correspond. The fire of Li will be extinguished and Nirvana will be achieved. When the moon sets in the west, the phoenix will be reborn from the fire."
"Very good." A cold and majestic voice came from the void, and the figure of Queen Mother of the West was looming at the top of the jade steps. She had just forcibly returned from another dimension, and her body seemed to be surrounded by another layer of cosmic ashes and dust.
Her experience was similar to Xuanyuan Shaoze's; her divine body had also been briefly trapped by the laws of the ash layer, but Queen Mother Xi didn't care. She had returned only to deal with the matters of Shen Jia'an, Su Mohui, and Xuanyuan Shaoze, and would have to leave again shortly.
At this time, the Sun Star God was bathed in the sunlight of the new birth, and was using the sunlight to sense the breath of the Fire of Li and calculate the secrets of heaven.
When the Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell on him, she asked softly, "When will you return?"
The Sun Star Lord calmly raised his head, taking in the morning light that now filled the heavens, still carrying the afterglow of the Vermillion Bird and Phoenix's Nirvana Flame. He smiled and said in a resounding voice, "Reporting to the Queen, the flame has burned out, the fire has been passed on, and Nirvana has been achieved. It is now!"
The Queen Mother of the West nodded in satisfaction, her phoenix eyes slightly closed as her figure began to fade. Before she vanished, she left behind only one unquestionable decree, which echoed in the ears of the three Star Gods:
"Inform the Supreme Dao Ancestor that Lingbao Tianzun's divine nature has returned to its original position. The Dharma body that has been sealed in the profound ice for eternity... should also leave the 'Ningshen Pavilion' and travel to this new world."
"I will obey your command!" The three Star Gods simultaneously bowed, bowed deeply, and sang in unison, "We respectfully bid farewell to the Golden Mother of Western Kunlun!"
..................
Just as the Queen Mother of the West had said, the ninety-ninth-century reincarnation of "Shen Jia'an" ended at this moment. And the one about to awaken from the golden thunder of the Purple Gold Thunder Bell, a blend of destruction and rebirth, was the one who had been silent for eternity—Lingbao Tianzun!
The air in Heaven was stagnant for a moment. Even in the depths of Tushita Palace, the steam that usually gurgled like porridge was now held down by an invisible giant hand and remained stagnant for a moment.
Sun Wukong's normally darting fiery eyes were now bulging, almost as loud as two copper bells. With a clang, the 13,500-jin Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand slammed heavily onto the ground, nearly puncturing the purple jade floor tiles that Taishang Laojun treasured like his own eyeballs!
He first glanced at Su Mohui and Xuanyuan Shaoze who were being gently nourished by the golden divine thunder in the formation diagram, then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the purple-gold thunder bell. His handsome monkey face was full of confusion and wonder, "Am I, Old Sun, hallucinating because of the thunder?"
On Yang Jian's forehead, the divine symbol of the Heavenly Eye suddenly glared open. The light gleaming in that divine eye wasn't divine light at all; it was simply golden garbled code, the result of a Heavenly Eye overload and data explosion. It was flashing so rapidly that it was practically shutting down.
"Lingbao Tianzun?!" He uttered a half-thunderous cry, "The one who stands shoulder to shoulder with Yuanshi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun, who controls the heavenly way of 'existence', the ancestor of the ultimate 'existence' of all things... he... he's waking up?!"
The coiled dragon peach wood staff in the hands of the Antarctic Immortal Master slammed heavily to the ground with a "bang". His long snow-white beard moved without wind as if it was electrified. He looked straight at Taishang Laojun with eyes full of disbelief, and he almost asked in surprise, "Did you know this earlier?!"
The two Heavenly Doctors standing nearby stared at each other, their eyes touching noses, just like the two generals in the temple who had changed their faces. They even forgot to put away the glass bottles and silver needles in their hands, and just stood there like sculptures in the air.
On the other side, Medicine King Sun Simiao was holding the divine version of "Qianjin Yifang" with golden light flowing in his hand. His hand, which was as steady as a rock, couldn't help but tremble, and there were also turbulent waves in his eyes.
Even the Medicine Buddha, who was tapping his medicine bowl gently, stopped, and the aura of compassion on his solemn face seemed to have faded a little.
Only the Bodhisattva Guanyin, with her pretty face that was always as gentle as spring breeze and full of compassion for the world, remained calm, as if she had already seen through a corner of this eternal chess game.
As for the Taishang Laojun who had already seen through the secrets of heaven and even personally entered the jar to lay out the plan? Hey, he is a wise man, and now he is acting in reverse -
At this moment, he was twirling his beard, showing just the right amount of "surprise and doubt", and spoke in an official tone to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva: "Master, is this... serious?" The tone sounded as if he had just found out about it.
Bodhisattva Guanyin remained calm, silently rolling her eyes at him, signaling he'd overacted. Her gaze calmly wandered outside the temple, resting on the area isolated by the Phoenix Nirvana rain of fire, yet still able to sense the fierce collision of raging thunder and new will within. Her voice was calm, yet it carried the undeniable power of heaven and earth:
