Chapter 767: 122. If You Are Willing, You’ll Be the Heavenly Emperor
It was raining heavily.
Rainwater poured in from all directions and seeped into the corners of the small city.
From time to time, a few bolts of lightning would strike through the summer night, illuminating the sky and earth in an instant.
With Lu Miaomiao’s guidance and Xia Ji’s own abilities, it wasn’t difficult to obtain an ancient statue hidden in Waning Moon Biotech.
As soon as Xia Ji touched it, he felt the mysteries hidden within the ancient statue.
It was a man sitting on a golden throne. He was extremely dignified. Auspicious clouds suddenly appeared around him and soared into the sky. There were also countless auspicious signs surrounding him.
If one were to look at it with a magnifying glass, one would be able to see that every auspicious sign was lifelike and extremely detailed. Especially the eyes, they gave people the feeling that ” you are staring at it, and it is also staring at you. ”
Anyone who looked at it would understand that this was not a divine object that could be carved by a human.
All of this was proof that the original owner of the statue was extraordinary.
It made people wonder who this was.
However, even if one read through all the religious books, they would not be able to find a god that exactly corresponded to this image.
Then, you couldn’t help but look at the statue again…
You would find that the statue’s face was blank.
Xia Ji didn’t ask what was going on.
Miao Miao was also confused.
She returned to the car in the storm and sat in the driver’s seat. She started the car and adjusted the navigation.” Xia Ji, it’ll take an hour and a half to get to Longsword Peak from here. Take a look at this statue and see if it can help you reach a higher realm. ”
As she spoke, she started the windshield wipers.
Whoosh ~
Whoosh ~
Whoosh ~
The rain was pushed aside.
As they were in the suburbs, their line of sight was not blocked. The flashes of lightning in the distance were still glaring.
“I’m leaving,” Miao Miao said.
After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator.
The car left a trail of water in the pond and headed towards the empty road that was sometimes dark and sometimes bright.
Xia Ji sat in the passenger seat and played with the statue. He could clearly feel the spiritual connection from the ancient statue. It seemed that as long as he followed the connection, he would be guided to a path of greater power.
Although he had yet to activate the Blacktide, his mental power was already very powerful.
He could feel many voices from these connections.
“Powerful ~~”
“Respect ~~”
“Fuse with me and become a true god ~~”
” Xia Ji, what are you waiting for? ”
These voices were not enticing, but a near-real experience. This made Xia Ji realize that if he started to fuse with them, perhaps…The face of the man on the Emperor’s Throne on the mysterious ancient statue would become his face.
“What are you waiting for?”
“Don’t you want to become stronger?”
” You’ve been dreaming of a thousand years. What you yearn for and want is to become stronger, isn’t it? ”
“The opportunity is right in front of you ~ What are you still confused about?”
“Are you so cowardly that you don’t even dare to become stronger?”
Xia Ji grabbed the statue and pulled his gaze away.
Miao Miao looked at him worriedly and said softly, “”Don’t be too stressed. If … If anything happens to you, I’ll be with you no matter what. Whether I live or die, I won’t change.”
It was a lonely night.
The journey only lasted an hour and a half.
“Play some music,” Xia Ji said.
“Alright…”
Miao Miao turned on the music.
Melodious music came from the broadcast.
” Escape from the mortal world. There’s no need to ask about returning to the mortal world. My heart is as calm as still water. There’s heaven and earth inside. Half my life is floating and sinking…”
“I hope that these hands can also pluck the stars, cultivate my mortal heart, and restrain my dreams of madness…”
” Light a lamp and teach me to see through all living beings. Who will take away my soul and let me go through life…”
” Who will open the door of enlightenment with me? We can meet and leave with a smile. You and I are mortals. ”
Xia Ji suddenly smiled and shook his head.
He grabbed the marvelous statue with both hands and leaned back slightly. He closed his eyes and felt this short but long journey.
It was a rainy night.
Thunder.
Gu Che.
Music.
Two people…
Time passed quickly and slowly.
Chi chi …
The car stopped.
“We’re here,” Miao Miao said softly.
Xia Jiru slept for a while. He opened his eyes and looked at the woman beside him. Then, he put the faceless golden statue on the chair and grabbed a cartoon printed umbrella. He said to Miao Miao, “”Hey, I’m leaving.”
“Good luck!” Miao Miao said.
Xia Ji nodded and got out of the car alone. He opened the umbrella and tossed the phone back to Miao Miao.
The phone bounced twice on the seat cushion and only stopped when it hit the handbrake.
When Miao Miao looked up again, the man was already far away.
“I’ll wait for you in the parking lot where we came from! I’ll wait for you to go home together!” she shouted hurriedly.
The so-called Longsword Rock was a protruding rock in the north of Sea City near the Tianjiang River. The rock was like a long sword, so it was named Longsword Rock.
At this moment, a white-haired old man was standing on the rock with his hands behind his back. His body was like a god. At this moment, he was floating in the air, completely defying the laws of physics.
On such a stormy day, standing high would obviously cause one to be struck by lightning.
However, even though the thunderbolts struck down, they swam past him like tame snakes, not causing him any harm at all.
Yes, it was.
The power of the world that mortals couldn’t withstand had been ‘tamed’ by the white-haired old man.
