My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 551 - 45: The God Begins Touring

"Are you so sure I know something else?"

The rooftop.

Xia Yue looked at Ji Xin. Hearing her words, he chuckled softly and said, "Can’t I come back just to comfort my big niece? After all, she seems to be in quite a low mood."

"..."

Ji Xin looked at Xia Yue expressionlessly.

"Alright."

Xia Yue looked at the silent Ji Xin, slowly withdrawing the smile on his face, finally without the mood for jokes: "It’s not that there is some other information I haven’t told, it’s just that there is something worth noting, which I need to tell you."

Ji Xin looked at Xia Yue, waiting quietly for further explanation.

"There is a rumor that the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ in Kunlun originates from a stone on Zhang Daoling’s body, and its flow seems to have become sluggish."

Xia Yue frankly said: "Previously, I speculated with the creation of the talisman that this was just a side-effect of Chen Lusi modifying the talisman to make it effective again. After all, his operation was almost like declaring himself the Daoist Lineage. Such a usurpation act, it’s normal for the stone of the Daoism Ancestral Celestial Master to have some abnormalities."

Ji Xin slightly frowned, interrupting: "...Are you sure the stone on the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ belongs to Zhang Daoling?"

"Not sure, but the possibility is quite high."

While speaking, Xia Yue took out a simplified Shrinking Earth Talisman from his pocket by Chen Lusi, and lightly waved it: "Don’t forget what the greatest use of the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ is."

Ji Xin’s frowned eyebrows relaxed: "...Transfer."

"That’s right, then do you think it looks like a gate-shaped Shrinking Earth Talisman?"

Xia Yue nodded: "Only unlike an ordinary Shrinking Earth Talisman, it has so many restrictions, doesn’t need to be visited by oneself, and the scale is much more exaggerated."

"Of course, the reason why I think there is a high possibility that the stone belongs to Zhang Daoling is mainly that since Chen Lusi activated the talisman again, the stone on the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ has indeed been circulating slower and slower. This situation has never happened before, and it coincidentally happened after Chen Lusi made the talisman effective again. It’s hard not to think in the direction that Chen Lusi is taking his place."

"At least that’s what I thought before."

Ji Xin keenly caught Xia Yue’s wording: "...Before?"

Xia Yue did not rush to answer but instead asked back: "What do you think that Artificial Celestial Gate is for?"

Ji Xin shook her head: "Didn’t you just say it? Transfer. As for any other role, hasn’t it always been inconclusive?"

"Indeed, but not long ago when I was calming Chai Pool, I inadvertently heard what he said, and suddenly had a guess. He said—"

Xia Yue paused for a moment and then continued: "The Deity is about to start a tour."

"It was upon hearing this sentence that I hurried over from Kunlun... And over here, something indeed happened."

"So I was thinking, could this ’tour’ have been happening since ancient times?"

"..."

Ji Xin slowly raised her head, looking at Xia Yue’s face.

"And that ’Artificial Celestial Gate’, could it have been prepared precisely for this? To transfer those ’touring’ Gods? And the so-called tour, is it actually myth activation... In reality, is the so-called legend activation a periodic event?"

"After all, just thinking from the perspective of Zhang Daoling, even if he was dying, he wouldn’t put his stone on such a high gate, it couldn’t possibly be just for the convenience of transfer, could it? That would be overkill, and that place is too remote, unless..."

Ji Xin interjected: "Unless, the primary purpose of that ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ above Kunlun isn’t for transferring people at all, but for transferring something heavier... right?"

"Hmm."

Xia Yue nodded and continued with a smile: "If the myth activation event has existed from ancient times... After all, ordinary medium to large-scale myth activation can be solved by manpower, but when it comes to mythical legends, manpower may not be sufficient, right? So instead of using human lives to fill it, better to let them go to sparsely populated places to roam... roam until they disappear."

"And coincidentally, the myth activation event has indeed occurred since ancient times, regardless of the region. Our ancestors may have also faced the same dilemma, not knowing how to handle it... those famous entities suddenly rising from their graves."

"And the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’, it allows one to instantly transfer to any place the Yellow Springs Mainstream radiates, while also being an Ancient Object, housing livable space, with conditions far better than the barren Kunlun Peak."

Xia Yue looked towards the direction of the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’: "Doesn’t this look like a stronghold? A place where one can observe the Kunlun situation at close range, know at first glance who has risen from their graves, and take appropriate action? Most importantly, this stronghold can transfer super-large creatures because that celestial gate at scale, clearly isn’t for people to walk through."

"Then why is there no record of it?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xin instinctively frowned and asked. But before Xia Yue could respond, she realized: "Because the Daoist Lineage was lost, Daoism was interrupted..."

"Yes, it feels like everything is connected."

Xia Yue sighed and then smiled: "If that large stone on the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ really is Zhang Daoling’s, then the leader must be Daoism; even if Daoism isn’t the leader, it certainly played a crucial role in it... It’s just that their lineage got interrupted.

I’m not sure how they passed things down internally, but undoubtedly, the transfer was also interrupted."

"..."

Ji Xin fell silent after hearing this, and only after a while, she said: "What does this have to do with Chen Lusi?"
