Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 481 - 480 Search

Sun Jingping's body trembled slightly, and the formidable strength of his physical body shook off the blood mist on the surface, restoring his original clean appearance.

At the same time, as he slowly concluded his cultivation, the Yama Golden Body gradually receded, the golden color on his body slowly vanished, and his skin color returned to that of a normal human being.

"I must seize the time to comprehend this portion of the original Daoist scriptures, ideally merging the Yama Golden Body and the Day of Reckoning before the debate in Daluo Heaven," he thought.

Thinking this, Sun Jingping walked into his private training chamber, formed hand seals, activated the power of his Primordial Spirit, and unlocked several layers of restrictions.

He then saw a bizarre wooden sculpture rise slowly from the underground compartment as the restrictions were lifted one by one.

It was a strange statue composed of numerous overlapping heads, each of which looked as realistic as a living person's, with males and females, both young and old, yet all bearing expressions of sadness and pain.

Sun Jingping's Primordial Spirit power continuously scanned the statue, sensing the information contained within.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened slightly, "The information in this portion of the original Daoist scriptures seems to have some connection with Daoist scripture 45."

As Sun Jingping savored the subtleties of the original Daoist scriptures, the more he tasted, the more he could feel an uncanny sense of familiarity.

Whether it was the original Daoist scriptures or the Daoist scriptures, they were inherently impossible to understand directly; even if cultivators learned them, it was difficult to articulate their content, and whether or not one had learned them was purely based on feeling.

This is because within the distortions of the Heavenly Dao, all the mysteries related to the Heavenly Dao became difficult to describe and indeed could not be summarized concisely; if one tried to generalize it into something that most people could understand, it could very likely cause distortions.

However, powerful cultivators could distinguish the nuances within these feelings.

Just like Sun Jingping now, feeling the subtleties of the original Daoist scriptures, he began to develop a strong sense of familiarity.

"Perhaps I should revisit Daoist scripture 45 and compare the differences," he thought.

Thinking this, Sun Jingping put away the original Daoist scriptures, and as he walked out of the training room, he saw a cultivator waiting outside.

"My lord, Cang Ming is outside asking to see you." Sun Jingping frowned, "Cang Ming? Don't see him; that waste, even with the Blood God Chain, he couldn't defeat Zhou Bai. Tell him unless he breaks through to the 6th realm, he shouldn't come to see me."

After sending away Cang Ming, Sun Jingping went to the library, borrowed Daoist scripture 45, and read it in the quiet chamber.

With Sun Jingping's cultivation at the 7th realm and a 79% conversion of Dao, reading Daoist scripture 45 now felt much easier and less effortful than his past impressions.

Half an hour later, realization flashed in Sun Jingping's eyes, "Very similar, indeed very similar, but there are profound differences."

Whether it was the Daoist scriptures or the original Daoist scriptures, both were indescribable.

But if Sun Jingping had to put it into words, in his perception, the original Daoist scriptures seemed to be the exact opposite and diametrically opposed to the current Daoist scripture 45.

He then read from Daoist scripture 40 to Daoist scripture 50, and he could almost conclude...

"The portion I have obtained is probably original Daoist scripture 05," Sun Jingping thought. "But compared to what I see now, the original Daoist scripture 05 I obtained is clearly sealed, with much content missing."

Sun Jingping started to feel eager, "Just being in its sealed state, this original Daoist scripture 05 has given me a sense of merging the Yama Golden Body and the Day of Reckoning, if I can unseal it."

Thinking this, Sun Jingping made up his mind to break the seal on the original Daoist scripture 05 and further decipher its information.

However, thinking about breaking the seal, Sun Jingping didn't have a method to unseal it, and Yan Hui, who had brought the statue, had been sent back to Donghua City.

"If it doesn't work out, I might just have to break it forcefully."

Thinking this, Sun Jingping had made up his mind, stood up, and planned to look for some assistance.

Breaking a seal violently, yet wishing not to damage the statue during the process, requires tens or even hundreds of times more power than a normal unsealing.

Sun Jingping knew his strength was already substantial, but forcibly breaking this seal might still be insufficient, potentially even ruining the original Dao repository itself.

So, thinking of this, Sun Jingping stood up and left, planning to find several helpers to violently break the seal with him.

…

On the other hand, Zhou Bai controlled Cang Ming's body, his face clearly displeased, "Cang Ming, what have you done? You have no standing in the Evil Sect, you can't even meet with someone?"

Embarrassed, Cang Ming said, "Ever since I lost to Zhou Bai at the four-school competition, my status in the Evil Sect plummeted, ah..."

Zhou Bai replied, "Why sigh? If you're not as skilled, you must accept defeat."

Unwilling to concede, Cang Ming said, "These days I've been diligently practicing, aiming to defeat Zhou Bai. Next time, I will surely win." Especially since he thought of the Heavenly God Emperor coming to help him, defeating Zhou Bai in the future would be a piece of cake.

Zhou Bai responded, "Win what? Stop daydreaming, you will never beat Zhou Bai."

Cang Ming exclaimed, "Ah???"

Zhou Bai stated, "Zhou Bai is a genius, unmatched for five thousand years before and likely five thousand years after. He is a miracle of creation, the embodiment of spiritual essence from heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. Just don't think about it too much."

Cang Ming shocked, "Ah??? Really? Does that mean I'll never be able to defeat him?"

Zhou Bai said, "It's impossible for you to win, not just you. Even I feel somewhat frightened by his talent. He suspects he is the son of the human race's destiny. In a few more years, he might surpass me. Then I plan to let him take over the position of the Heavenly God Emperor, to lead the Heavenly Court and command the immortals."

Cang Ming, stunned, said, "What?! The God Emperor plans to pass the position to Zhou Bai?"

Zhou Bai replied, "So don't even think about winning against him. In the future, if you encounter him, just stick closely by his side, be his subordinate. That's the way to adapt to the trends of destiny and secure a good future."

Cang Ming fell silent, never expecting to receive such astonishing news during his conversation with the Heavenly God Emperor, inevitably picturing Zhou Bai in his mind.

'Zhou… Zhou Bai is the next leader of the Heavenly Court, the son of the human race's destiny?... I must find an opportunity to quickly tell the Sect Master.'

In the meantime, with Cang Ming's help, Zhou Bai searched many places where Sun Jingping might go, hoping to encounter him and have a proper talk, but they never met.

Zhou Bai's patience was running low: 'My original Dao repository 05 is at constant risk of being tampered with.'

Eventually, no longer able to restrain himself, Zhou Bai performed a Primordial Spirit Emergence, delving into the ground and stealthily infiltrated the residence where Sun Jingping stayed.

The speed of the Primordial Spirit moving through material was much slower than in the air, feeling like swimming through mercury.

Moreover, every tens of meters, Zhou Bai could feel a significant consumption of Primordial Spirit power.

Though the speed was slow and consumption high, not much faster than walking, moving through materials with the Primordial Spirit significantly reduced the chances of being detected, offering more security.

Before long, Zhou Bai located his target in a massive underground chamber.

He saw a large circle of people with terrifying aura and profound cultivation.

And in the center they surrounded, a statue over one meter tall was gradually swelling, emitting bursts of roaring sounds.

'Damn!' Zhou Bai angrily thought, 'What are these guys doing? Are they actually unsealing my original Dao repository 05?'
