Chapter 1090: Chapter 662: Becoming Reality
White clouds gather over the serene ravine, and the group of peaks lines up with the distant sky.
Rugged and steep, the stone gates stand tall, while misty veils of incense smoke linger faintly.
The halls retain their red splendor, and the winding steps hang precipitously over the cliffs.
Noble scholars too find respite here, their righteous forms free from the dust of the world.
Should one grasp the profound Dao, impartial action follows forth.
Hearts aligned with what is esteemed, why would one shy away from worldly entanglement?
Northern Immortal Sect, Taixuan Tao Mountain.
Suspended in the void, placed between Heaven and Earth, this peak, seeming to have flown in, looms at the very top of the Dao Mountain. Peering down from its summit, one can see rocks rising everywhere, trees enshrouded in mystery, ancient caves abound—a sight of magnificent grandeur, rightly the once foremost Northern Immortal Sect.
Alas, it belongs to the past.
Atop Dao Mountain, an elder and a youth sit facing each other, deeply engaged in a game of black and white Go.
The elder, with white hair and beard, dons robes whiter than snow, resembling an exiled Immortal untainted by the slightest dust.
The child, with a face like carved jade, is dressed in golden brocade, seemingly naive to the affairs of the world, yet his eyes hold a hint of vicissitude.
Thus, the two play their game, with the Go board's black and white pieces interwoven, reaching the critical final phase.
However...
The elder, holding a white piece, gazes at the board unable to make his move, ultimately emitting a sigh, "There is no way forward, no way forward at all!"
Having said this, he tosses the white piece back into the box.
The child shakes his head and also returns the pieces into the box, then speaks, "Fifteen hundred years, traversing the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation, since ancient times, across the Five Domains, perhaps he is the sole example—a figure of such stature..."
The elder lowers his gaze to the board and speaks softly, "Back then, barely stepping into the Tribulation Realm and having become a Void Immortal, he instantly slew Nine Tribulations Completion Qi Zhengming. Now, having passed through Eight Calamities with the Ninth in sight, who under the vast heavens can stand against him?"
The child shakes his head, sweeps the board clean, and sets it anew, "With his abilities, even if he ascends to the Upper Realm, he will be a first-rate figure. This is a foregone conclusion. We should douse our fervor and await his Ascension."
"I fear he may not be willing to ascend!"
