Chapter 250 Chew, chew, chew, chew...

At this moment, Ning Que and Long Qing had already arrived at the gate of the back mountain of the academy.

The words that Longqing saw on the huge stone outside the door were: A gentleman does not fight.

A gentleman does not contend, and regards himself as having no weapon.

It means: A person with noble character will not compete with others for fame and fortune, nor will he become a pawn of others. This is a state of mind that is not limited to his own world.

This is Master's advice to Longqing. Longqing has been fighting for his cultivation, his status, and his country's restoration...

There is nothing wrong with fighting.

However, Longqing's fighting spirit had become somewhat pathological, and he could no longer fight like a normal person.

Longqing received too much praise, so once someone could surpass him in some aspect, he would not be able to accept it.

But what Ning Que saw was that a gentleman is not a tool.

A gentleman does not use tools, which means he does not contend.

It means: A true gentleman has reached the realm of perfection, goodness and beauty, and will not be confined to one aspect of role or ability. This is a state of mind that is solitary and does not compete with others.

This is the Master's affirmation and advice to Ning Que: after revenge, one does not have to dwell on the past, but must have new goals.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from here that the disciple the Master favors is Ning Que, because the Master himself is a gentleman who is not a tool.

Longqing was the first to push open the door and enter. At this moment, there was only darkness behind the door. There was no light in the sky, and only the twinkling stars provided light.

The big tree with the gourd hanging on it is right above a huge rock, but there are also two figures on top of the rock.

This is an illusion that Gongsun Ce has woven for the Master. The purpose of the illusion is to test Ning Que and Long Qing, or in other words, the practitioner who finally succeeds in arriving.

Just after the Master and Gongsun Ce appeared in front of Longqing.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and waved gently towards Longqing.

Longqing soon fell into another illusion, in which he successfully revived the Kingdom of Yan.

Longqing, the prince of Yan State, has been shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving Yan State since he was a child.

His eyes flickered with desire for power and strength, and his heart hid an unyielding ambition.

In the illusion, Longqing successfully passed the teacher's test.

The Master walked up to Long Qing and said with a smile, "Long Qing, you have passed the test. From today on, you are my last disciple."

Upon hearing this, Longqing was extremely excited. His biggest purpose in coming to Tang State Academy was to become the master's disciple, and now he had fulfilled his wish.

So, Longqing knelt before the Master without hesitation and kowtowed three times respectfully.

From then on, he became the Master's last disciple and began his arduous and long journey of cultivation.

Under the guidance of the Master, Longqing's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

He practiced hard day and night, constantly comprehending the secrets of practice.

Whenever he encountered a bottleneck, the master could always give him guidance.

Under the careful guidance of the Master, Longqing gradually mastered the essence of cultivation.

Several years later, Long Qing finally broke through the bottleneck of the sixth realm of Wu Ju.

He felt that his strength had undergone a tremendous change.

He could clearly feel the mental power surging in his body. He could easily pass through the gaps in his vital energy and move freely around the world.

Just when Longqing was no longer immersed in the joy of the breakthrough, he took a step forward, silently thinking of the Yan Palace in his heart.

His eyes blurred, and when he stood firm again, he looked around and found himself standing in the main hall of the Yan Kingdom Palace.

However, when he saw his father, the king, his heart was filled with joy.

He understood that he had really returned to Yan State. Moreover, he also found that he already possessed the power of the sixth realm!
Longqing was extremely excited, as he knew that he finally had the power to revive the Kingdom of Yan.

So he began a drastic reform. He first ordered the annihilation of all the Xiling cavalry stationed in Yan State and controlling Yan State.

These cavalrymen have always been a major concern for the State of Yan, and now they have finally been eliminated by Longqing in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Longqing began to gather troops and prepare to launch a war against the surrounding countries.

He knew that in order to truly revive the State of Yan, he must expand his territory and increase his strength.

So he led the army of Yan State and fought in all directions.

Under the leadership of Longqing, the Yan army was unstoppable and soon conquered all the surrounding countries.

The lands and populations of these countries were annexed by Yan State, and the territory of Yan State was greatly expanded.

However, Longqing was not satisfied with this. He knew that he still had a long way to go and more enemies to face.

So he continued to lead the Yan army to fight in all directions and constantly expand his sphere of influence.

In this process, Longqing gradually forgot the fact that he was still under test.

He was completely immersed in the illusion, enjoying the pleasure brought by power and strength.

He believed that he could lead Yan to a glorious future and make it the most powerful country in the world.

The images of Gongsun Ce and the Master left in the illusion silently observed what Longqing did in the illusion.

Even if the Master had not cheated for Ning Que, Long Qing would not have been able to become the Master's disciple because Long Qing's character was not firm enough.

Just when Long Qing was lost in fantasy, Ning Que pushed open the door and entered.

When he saw Longqing standing there motionless, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Gongsun Ce also gave Ning Que a palm, and Ning Que also fell into an illusion.

It seemed as if a movie about his life was playing before his eyes.

The scene begins with his childhood memory of a thin figure busying around in front of the gatehouse of General Lin’s mansion.

His father, the ordinary doorman, was his only relative and his earliest memory.

However, the good times did not last long.

General Lin's mansion suffered a disaster in which the entire family was wiped out, blood flowed like a river, and wailing was everywhere.

At the critical moment of life and death, Ning Que's father actually wanted to push him out to die in place of General Lin's son.

At that moment, Ning Que's heart sank to the bottom, and he felt unprecedented despair and anger.

There was a determination gleam in his eyes and he drew the knife without hesitation.

With one knife, he severed the last bit of affection between him and his father; with another knife, he ended the life of General Lin's son.

The blood dyed his hands red, and also dyed his heart red.

After escaping from General Lin’s mansion, Ning Que embarked on a long journey of escape.

He traveled across the vast wilderness and evaded countless pursuits and attempts on his life.

Finally, he came to a small village on the border. The people here were simple and kind, making him feel the warmth he had not felt for a long time.

However, the good times did not last long.

Xiahou, the murderer who once massacred General Lin, actually brought his army here.

Flames shot up into the sky, wailing was heard everywhere, and the small village was massacred by Xiahou's army.

Ning Que hid in the dark and watched those innocent lives disappear.

His heart was filled with endless hatred and anger.

At that moment, he vowed to take revenge. He wanted to make Xiahou pay with blood and seek justice for those innocent lives.

After escaping from the small village, Ning Que came to Weicheng on the border.

This is a place full of dangers and opportunities, with horse bandits rampant and wars constant.

Ning Que found his own stage here. He fought with horse bandits and honed his outstanding martial arts in life and death.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye Ning Que is already seventeen years old.

He returned to Chang'an City, the place where he once lost everything.

He hid his identity and secretly investigated the whereabouts and weaknesses of the enemies who destroyed General Lin's Mansion, especially the most powerful enemy - Xiahou.

Finally one day, he found an opportunity and killed all his enemies except Xiahou one by one.

However, the road to revenge does not end here. Xiahou, the biggest enemy, is still at large.

Ning Que knew that in order to completely defeat Xiahou, he had to become even stronger.

So he took part in the academy's selection examination, and with his talent and perseverance, he was successfully admitted to the academy.

The scene suddenly stopped at this moment, and Ning Que was faced with two important choices.

One is to continue with revenge, but not to become the disciple of the Master.

The second is to become a disciple of the Master and give up revenge.

These two choices, like two sharp swords, hung over his heart.

Ning Que fell into deep thought. He thought back to his life, and the pain and hatred were engraved in his heart like a brand.

After a long period of thinking, Ning Que finally made a decision.

He gave up the opportunity to become the master's apprentice and chose to continue his revenge.

He knew that this decision might cost him a huge price, or even his life.

At this moment, the illusion began to collapse. When Ning Que opened his eyes again, he found himself back in reality.

Ning Que looked at Long Qing in front of him. He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. The test was not over yet. The final test was to pick the gourd from the tree.

Only by picking the gourd can Ning Que become the Master's disciple.

When Ning Que passed by Long Qing, Long Qing also successfully broke free from the illusion.

Long Qing looked at Ning Que who was about to surpass him, and regardless of his mental trauma, he hurried to catch up with Ning Que.

Gongsun Ce, who remained in the illusion, watched Ning Que and Long Qing limping forward and found it quite interesting.

"Young friend, do you want to establish a sect?" The Master noticed Gongsun Ce's gaze and teased him unconsciously. "No, it's too troublesome to accept disciples, but I have a few friends. I don't mind helping them to embarrass the young people." Gongsun Ce said and looked at the Master.

The Master shook his head slowly and said, "It is not necessary to spend a lot of energy to accept disciples. Just provide them with a space where they can do what they want to do."

"This is the difference between the worlds. Here you can improve your cultivation by focusing on your state of mind and your hobbies.

However, other worlds are different. Without the guidance of seniors, it is easy to go astray if you rely on your own exploration. "

"Please wait a moment, my friend." The Master changed the subject, "I have already arrived at Zhishou Temple and will soon be able to take away the remaining six volumes of the Heavenly Book."

"I have already broken through the realm of purity. All I need to do is gather the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book to complete the heaven-changing process." Gongsun Ce's tone did not reveal any emotion, but it put the Master's heart at ease.

The Master suddenly asked, "How does your world compare to Haotian's world?"

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and replied: "In my world, I am Haotian."

"Please show mercy, young friend." The Master was pleading for the Tang Kingdom and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

The Master naturally knew what Gongsun Ce and the Qin World wanted to do. The Master didn't really care about the annexation of the Jiang Ye World, but a new emperor chooses new ministers, and the Master was worried that Gongsun Ce would take action against the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

"I don't actually like killing people. For me, killing is just a means to an end, not a hobby. Tang Wang Li Zhongyi is not bad. I will not attack the Tang Kingdom for the time being.

But the same may not be true for other countries, especially those that believe in Buddhism and Xiling. They are too disgusting and I will not keep them.

In the future, after unifying this world, would you be interested in accepting Li Zhongyi as an outer disciple?"

"It's not impossible. He's an outer disciple. What a good outer disciple. Hahaha." The master stroked his white beard and chuckled.

The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhongyi, the ancestor of the Tang King, once fantasized about immortality. When he heard that he could achieve immortality by eating the flesh of the Master, he really became interested in the Master.

So the Master decisively killed him and personally trained every Tang king just to save trouble.

Although it is an illusion, Gongsun Ce and the Master in the illusion are both projections of the original bodies, which means that the conversation between the two is equivalent to the conversation between the real people.

Just as the two finished their conversation, Ning Que had already obtained the gourd and successfully passed the test.

At the same time, the Master personally visited Zhishou Temple.

The middle-aged Taoist priest who stayed behind at Zhishou Temple sighed lightly when he saw the Master coming, and then removed the formation of fish in the pond and birds in the cage.

The Master obtained the six volumes of heavenly books including "The Sun Sets and the Sandy Sky Opens Up" very smoothly.

Just as the academy was celebrating Ning Que's successful apprenticeship, the Master returned to Gongsun Ce and handed over the six volumes of the Heavenly Book to Gongsun Ce.

After Li Manman handed the Ming scroll of heavenly book on his waist to Gongsun Ce, he returned to the academy to congratulate Ning Que on becoming his junior fellow apprentice.

When Gongsun Ce got the seven volumes of the heavenly book, Haotian Tiannu's heart tightened. The thing she feared most finally happened.

"Little angel, your time has come." Gongsun Ce looked at Haotian angel and teased.

After hearing Gongsun Ce's words, Haotian Tiannv closed her eyes and waited quietly for the final judgment to come.

The sands will turn upside down tomorrow when the sun sets. This is the real name of the Seven Volumes of the Heavenly Book, and it also reflects the function of the Heavenly Book.

However, according to the ancient pronunciation, it should actually be read from right to left.

The first volume of the heavenly book is actually the “Kai” volume, and the last volume of the heavenly book is the “Ri” volume.

Gongsun Ce threw the seven volumes of the heavenly book into the sky, and then the seven volumes of the heavenly book unfolded one by one.

The next moment, the seven volumes of heavenly books turned into seven balls of light and floated towards the Haotian Divine Kingdom in the sky.

Gongsun Ce opened his arms and transmitted pure energy to the seven balls of light.

The Heavenly Dao of the Qin world, which had been waiting for a long time outside the world, spread the road of the starry sky to seven balls of light.

With the blessing of Gongsun Ce and the power of heaven in the Qin world, seven balls of light opened up the Haotian Divine Kingdom.

The golden temple appeared in the sky, and the face of the Heavenly Goddess Haotian turned pale. Her divinity was stirring at this moment, and it seemed that it could leave her body at any time.

The power within the Haotian Divine Kingdom is gradually being swallowed up by the Qin world, and the Divine Kingdom is shrinking rapidly.

As the Haotian Divine Kingdom shrank, the Haotian Heavenly Goddess was completely unable to suppress the divine nature, and Haotian's divine nature suddenly rushed up to the Haotian Divine Kingdom.

At the moment when the godhead and the kingdom of God are combined, the real Haotian reappears.

The figure of Haotian Goddess began to appear and disappear. Having lost her divinity, she was equivalent to losing the protection of her body and was about to dissipate between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Qin Shi Tiandao gave a portion of the origin of the Ever Night world to Gongsun Ce. Although it was not much, it was enough to reshape the body of Haotian Tiannv.

Qin Shi Tian Dao: Chew chew chew... burp~ I kept my promise, chew chew chew, burp~
Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head. He could guess that Qin Shi Tiandao should like the origin of the Ever Night world very much, but he didn’t expect that He would like it so much.

Gongsun Ce drew the magic symbol of "dragon" with his right hand. In an instant, a pentagram alchemy array appeared under Sangsang's feet and Haotian's feet at the same time.

The four elements of earth, fire, water and wind are in the four corners, representing the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the four elements. The spiritual element occupies the top corner, indicating that the spiritual element controls all elements.

The connection between Sangsang, Haotiantian and Haotian was quickly cut off, and part of the origin of darkness in Sangsang's body was stripped away.

The power of Haotian in Haotiantian's body was also stripped away. After Haotiantian's body lost the last of her power of Haotian, her figure became more and more illusory.

However, within the alchemy array, Haotian Tiannu’s soul was firmly locked and could not dissipate.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce mixed the origin of darkness and the power of Haotian to reshape the body of Haotian Heavenly Goddess.

The soul of the Haotian goddess was stabilized and no longer looming.

Then, starting from the feet of Haotian Goddess, a new body was generated for her bit by bit.

"Why save me?" Haotian Tiannv whispered softly.

"Just think of it as me being attracted by her beauty." Gongsun Ce looked Haotian Tiannv up and down and then nodded.

Haotian and Sangsang are two opposite individuals. Sangsang is a skinny and dark little girl, while Haotian is a plump and fair-skinned queen.

Gongsun Ce decided that Haotian Tiannv would really help his XP, but Haotian Tiannv had other uses as well.

Gongsun Ce decided to formally establish a religion after returning to the Qin world, so he naturally needed a pope. Was Haotian Tiannv the best candidate?

“Strength is valuable, but divinity is more valuable. If it means freedom, both can be abandoned.” Gongsun Ce noticed that Haotian Tiannv was still a little dazed, so he made a teasing remark.

"Throw one to me and see!" When Haotian Tiannv heard Gongsun Ce's words, she immediately turned into a powder keg.

"I love watching others throw." Gongsun Ce shrugged and removed the alchemy array under the feet of Haotian Tiannv and Sangsang.

After Sangsang lost the origin of darkness, her skin was finally no longer completely black except for her feet.

Sangsang's skin is very dark, but her feet are very white, which means that she is in darkness but her feet are on light.

In essence, many of Sangsang's characteristics indicate that she is the son of Pluto and a part of Haotian.

Sangsang still didn't wake up, she just fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Although Haotian Tiannv had her body reshaped by Gongsun Ce and had lost her former power as Haotian, she still had the potential to cultivate back to her peak.

Gongsun Ce looked up at the sky. At this moment, Haotian was angry. The sky changed color, and there were bursts of thunder and bright light.

Everyone in the entire Ever Night world was watching the changes in the sky.

Practitioners in particular can feel Haotian’s anger and unwillingness.

"What is Haotian?" Gongsun Ce suddenly asked, causing Haotian Tiannu to remain silent for a while.

"Haotian is the sky."

This is the explanation given by Haotian Tiannv.

"Haotian is a god."

This was the answer given by the teacher who had been silent for a while.

"Haotian is the sky, but not the way of heaven. Haotian is a god, but not the only true god. He is the god of heaven." Gongsun Ce shook his head, denying the answers of the Master and the Goddess of Haotian. "I have been thinking before, what is Haotian?
Until now, I finally got the answer. He is the embodiment of heaven and the agent of heaven, but he is not heaven, nor is he the only true God.

The consciousness of a world is called world consciousness or heavenly way. It can represent the entire world and is omnipotent within the world.

But Haotian cannot be omnipotent, so Haotian is not the way of heaven.

He is indeed very strong, but he cannot reach the level of the One True God. The One True God is the pinnacle of the world. He is not a match for the Way of Heaven, but he is the strongest under the Way of Heaven. He is even connected to the Way of Heaven and is favored by the Way of Heaven. "

"What and what?" Haotian Tiannv felt that she was a little confused by Gongsun Ce.

"The Buddha's Wuliang is mobilizing the power of the earth. May I ask our little celestial being, at the moment when the power of the earth was mobilized, did you feel that your power was being mobilized?" Gongsun Ce asked the celestial being Haotian.

"No."

"Then can you feel it when the energy of heaven and earth is mobilized or even absorbed by someone?"

"Yes, and the feeling is even very clear." Haotian Tiannv replied after a moment's hesitation.

"You are in charge of the sky, the heaven and earth energy on the ground, but not the earth." Gongsun Ce looked at Haotian Tiannv with a smile, "Doesn't this prove that you lack authority and cannot represent the whole world?"

"This?" Haotian Tiannu was a little puzzled. "Indeed, I don't seem to be able to control the earth."

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand to Haotian Tiannu and said, "Give me your hand, let me see Haotian's past."

Haotian Tiannv hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on Gongsun Ce's hand.

Gongsun Ce's mental power immediately entered the consciousness of Haotian Tiannv and began to recall Haotian's memories.

It’s not that Haotian Tiannu doesn’t know some things, but they have been forgotten.

The memory of Haotian Tiannv is a replica of Haotian, but Haotian Tiannv cannot bear so many memories, so the memory of Haotian is stored deep in Haotian Tiannv's consciousness.

Gongsun Ce's mental power gradually traced back to Haotian Tiannv's recent memories.

That was the scene before Haotian was awakened by the gambler.

In the depths of the endless universe, the stars are like sand, and in the silence, suddenly, countless meteorites seem to be pulled by some force and rush towards a blue planet.

These meteorites vary in size, some as small as pebbles and some as large as mountains. They streak across the sky, making a deafening roar and rushing towards the ground.

There are countless living beings on this planet, including some practitioners.

However, facing this sudden natural disaster, even the strongest man in the world, the one known as the gambler, felt unprecedented pressure.

Gambler, a legendary name, his cultivation has reached the pinnacle.

He was wearing a green robe, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom and calmness.

He stood on a vast field, looked up at the densely packed meteorites, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the pure energy in his body. Then a colorless pure energy surged out of his body and quickly spread out, forming a huge protective shield.
