Chapter 1549 - Innate

The quiet moonlight scattered on the bed.

Xiao An raised her head and gazed outside the window as if she had sensed something.

A crescent moon moved through the dark clouds, rendering the surroundings sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Suddenly, a chilly gust of wind surged in, lifting up the curtains and heading right towards her.

Cling clang clang clang! The Soul Stirring Bell rang urgently, but it sounded very heavy.

Before anyone had noticed, endless darkness had swallowed the tower like black water, completely limiting visibility. The moon and stars all stopped shining.

Xiao An’s eyes rippled. With a swing of her hand, the Skull Prayer Beads on her wrist scattered, dispersing into the darkness. At the same time, she drew the Buddha Slaying sword.

However, when the prayer beads fell into the darkness, they were like stones cast into the ocean. It led to no response at all.

She was unfazed, much less hesitant. She swung her sword towards the darkness.

As soon as she raised her sword, it was gripped firmly by the darkness. It gripped her firmly too.

The darkness devoured all of her flesh and blood madly. In the blink of an eye, her great beauty was reduced to nothing, revealing a white skeleton with pale-white flames burning in its eye sockets.

“A successor of white bone!?”

The Unadorned Ghost Immortal’s surprised voice rang out from the darkness. He sniggered. “No wonder I would wake up. The heavens are on my side!”

In the past, the havoc that the White Bone Bodhisattva wreaked in the Hungry Ghost realm was far too great. In order to contend with her, even the laws of the world were twisted.

She even managed to leave a clear mark on the intangible will of the heavens that had no such thing as a memory, which still lingered even now. On the very level of the laws of the world, the entire place strongly rejected the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.

If he could abide by the will of the heavens and eliminate a successor of white bone, he would definitely be blessed by the heavens!

Not only would he become the strongest Ghost Immortal in the Hungry Ghost realm, but he might even have the chance to take that impossible step and undergo the seventh heavenly tribulation, becoming a True Immortal and completely breaking free from this god forsaken place.

Everything happened in a split second. The darkness seeped into the white bone like ink, spreading rapidly. It did not spare the Li Qingshan in her arms either.

He jerked awake from his dream. Before he could even understand what was going on, all he felt was the miserable and intense omen of death.

With no time to think about anything else, he immediately gripped the Mountain-moving tablet firmly and pointed it at the darkness.

With a thunk, a wave of light erupted, and the tower exploded loudly!

The darkness had been repelled, vaguely revealing a figure.

Li Qingshan rose up from the rubble and dust with Xiao An in his arms. The danger had not been eliminated yet.

The Unadorned Ghost Immortal had placed all of his attention on the legendary successor of white bone, so he did not pay any attention to Li Qingshan originally. As a nobody who had not even undergone the sixth heavenly tribulation, he could turn him into a dried corpse with a wave of his hand. However, he never expected Li Qingshan to actually possess an arcane treasure that could land a blow on his Origin Soul. He could tell with a single glance that it was something extraordinary.

“What a bountiful harvest this time! Hehe, you can’t escape. Stay right here!”

Right when the Unadorned Ghost Immortal was about to take them down, darkness loomed over his head. He raised his head in surprise. A mountain actually flew through the air!

Faced with death, Li Qingshan simply stayed silent, throwing an entire mountain at the Unadorned Ghost Immortal.

The mountain was called Yellow Cliff edge. It originally belonged to the Mountain-moving Great Sage, the Lion Spirit King.

Normally, the Unadorned Ghost Immortal could split apart a mountain like that with a wave of his hand, or he could fly several hundred kilometres away with a single escape technique, even diving straight into the ground.

However, the origins of the mountain were anything but ordinary. Before it had even landed, it had already squeezed all the air out of his lungs.

He also possessed Mānas-vij?āna and could observe the laws of the world. At this very moment, he discovered in shock that the mountain was condensed with extremely powerful laws, like a series of shackles, reaching over from all directions and even the depths of space itself to crush him.

“An innate spiritual treasure!?”

The Unadorned Ghost Immortal was in disbelief. This is impossible. How can a measly cultivator, someone who isn’t even a Human Immortal, wield something like this!

By “innate”, it was not referring to items forged before the birth of the world. These were not artifacts specially created by some ancestor Hongjun for later generations to strut around with.

By “innate”, it referred to the universe itself, the origins of all things, or in other words, the Dao.

As described in the Book of Changes, “The extraordinary obey the will of the world, shine with the sun and moon, follow the order of the seasons and abide by the curses and blessings of ghosts and gods. The heavens do not defy the innate, and the postnate abide by the heavens.”

The Mountain-moving Great Sage was one of these “extraordinary” people, having reached the supreme realm of Merging the Void with the Dao. Every single mountain he carried on his back was an extension of the Dao, an innate spiritual treasure.

When postnate arcane treasures wanted to unleash their might, they had to “abide by the heavens”. The more they followed the laws of the world, the more powerful they were. The strongest heaven tier arcane treasures could incinerate the skies and boil the oceans.

However, innate spiritual treasures had no need for that. They themselves were a part of the laws of the world, so they could obviously do as they pleased with “defiance from the heavens”. They no longer needed to demonstrate just how powerful they were. It was enough as long as they reached their objective. Creating too great of a scene would instead be a waste of effort.

At that moment, it was like a personal strike from the Mountain-moving Great Sage, even if it was only the twitch of a small finger.

The Unadorned Ghost Immortal was unable to offer up any resistance. The ball of black shadows twisted and shrunk as if he struggled desperately to break free, but he was unable to leave the range enveloped by the mountain, located right beneath it the entire time.

To a Ghost Immortal, the mountain did not fall quickly at all. He tried to destroy the mountain from below, but the entire attempt could be described in three words—a futile effort.

Gazing at the falling mountain, he was filled with despair. He refused to let all of his cultivation just go up in flames like this.

“No!!!”

Boom!

Unadorned city vanished, replaced by a mountain.

Li Qingshan gulped. “What the hell was that?”

“Should be the Unadorned Ghost Immortal.”

“He’s just died like that?”

Li Qingshan still felt some disbelief. Just earlier, he had been forced into dire straits, and in the next instant, the enemy was dead.

“Seems so.”

Xiao An felt some disbelief as well. She suddenly sensed the Skull Prayer Beads again, which had all been collected by the Unadorned Ghost Immortal. They were crushed under the mountain right now, but they were undamaged. Only the Unadorned Ghost Immortal had been crushed to pieces. He was as dead as he could be.

She powered the Skull Prayer Beads in a hurry, turning them into Skeleton Demons. With a cackle, they collected the pieces of the Unadorned Ghost Immortal. This was a tremendous supplement to her. She had yet to “eat” a Ghost Immortal!

Li Qingshan gazed at the mountain. In a daze, he saw the Mountain-moving Great Sage’s figure, smiling away at him as if he was asking, Eighth brother, are you satisfied with the effects?

Then he blinked his eyes. The mountain was still the same mountain. The laws condensed in the mountain dissipated, assimilated into the laws of the Hungry Ghost realm. It turned into a regular mountain.

However, he was certain that everything he saw earlier was not an illusion!

The Mountain-moving tablet carried the “old fool’s” spirit, which was why it could lock onto the Unadorned Ghost Immortal. Otherwise, with his own strength, he would have never been able to achieve this. This was the difference between cultivations.

In reality, the Mountain-moving tablet was better described as an emergency rescue phone than an innate spiritual treasure to him. As long as he pressed “dial”, the Mountain-moving Great Sage would descend and crush the enemy to death with a finger.

Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile and said, “Thanks, fifth brother! I’ll definitely find second sister as soon as possible and scoop you out from Ruin’s End!”

He was overcome with a further sense of urgency. Three mountains, three opportunities. Now, only two remained.

Originally, he planned on saving them all for Qiongqi. Sure enough, plans would always be derailed.

The path ahead of him would be even more dangerous. He had to undergo the sixth heavenly tribulation as quickly as possible and completely merge with his Origin Soul. Only then could he put up a fight.

He suddenly felt like something was missing. He felt his own body. “Sigh, where did that Origin Soul of mine run off to?”
