Chapter 3703: The Rolling Red Dust
upport of his family and the supply of cultivation resources, his status in Tiānwài Tiān has plummeted."All the heavenly guardians, without any restraint, bullied him."He pitied him, he didn't even da...Ginger Cloud's gaze, deeply fixated on the white flower held in Red Dust Celestial Venerable's hand.
This flower looks quite ordinary. Neither its shape nor its size is particularly special.
But looking at this flower, Ginger Cloud's heart inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. She had indeed seen such a flower before.
Even the Heavenly Venerable of the Mortal World did not urge Jiang Yun hastily. Instead, he gently placed the flower in his hand before Jiang Yun's face.
Then, she propped her chin up with one hand, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yun's face. There was a glimmer of anticipation in her gaze.
Jiang Yun didn't care at all about the appearance of the Red Dust Heavenly Venerable. He still stared intently at the flower, trying his best to recall when and where he had seen it before.
After the count, Jiang Yun's eyes widened suddenly. "Buzz!" He jumped directly off his stool!
Seeing Jiang Yun's reaction, Hongchen Tianzun couldn't help but burst into a smile.
Because she knew that Ginger Cloud had already figured it out, and Ginger Cloud's reaction was exactly as she had imagined before, he was indeed shocked and jumped up!
Yes, Jiang Yun did recognize the flower. In an instant, many things became clear in his mind.
But his heart was so shocked that he pointed at the flower, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
The smile on Hong Chen Tianzun's face deepened, but he still didn't urge Jiang Yun. He remained in the same posture, propping his chin with one hand and smiling expectantly.
"Ha!"
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun finally pointed at the white flower and uttered three words heavily from his mouth: "Flower of the Other Shore!"
The
Blossoms of the Other Shore, a flower from the realm of the dead, yet able to connect with the living world.
When Jiang Yun first heard about the other shore flower, it was because his third senior brother, Xuan Yuan Xing, had been poisoned by it!
Later, while imprisoned, he also met a flower demon from the other shore.
Jiang Yun's gaze abruptly shifted from the flower of other side to the Red Dust Heaven Venerable, and he said word by word: "Toward, Red Dust!"
That otherworldly flower demon, is called Xiang Hongchen!
The title "Red Dust Great Heavenly Venerable" is very similar!
Hong Chen Tian Zun gently put down his arm, a trace of reminiscence appearing on his face as he said, "Xiang Hong Chen, how many years has it been since anyone has called me by my name!"
Jiang Yun couldn't help but take another breath and looked up at the sky.
By now, he had understood. The彼岸 flower demon who had once been imprisoned in the Dao prison and yearned for the mortal world was none other than this Red Dust Great Heavenly Venerable, who stood above millions of cultivators in the myriad domains of heaven!
Of course, it's not saying that they are the same person, but towards the red dust, it must be a split or divine consciousness of the Great Heavenly Venerable of Red Dust.
Although such a thing sounds utterly inconceivable, Ginger Cloud wasn't unfamiliar with it.
Because more than one person had already told him that within the former lower realm, many people had connections with some powerful figures in the Heavenly Collection Realm.
But those people are almost all still like they are asleep, without awakening their memories, and unaware of who they truly are!
The only person Jiang Yun had ever met who had awakened to their true identity was the Great Demon Huanxu, also known as the spirit of the artifact Wuxi.
The Void Staff belongs to the Void Celestial Emperor and was placed in the lower realm by him.
And at this very moment, Jiang Yun finally met the second one, and this one probably hasn't awakened yet.
Even so, Jiang Yun was still somewhat difficult to accept, so he looked at Hongchen Great Heavenly Venerable and said: "Heavenly Venerable, that girl Xiang Hongchen, is she really yours…"
Before Gingercloud could finish her question, Reddust Celestial Venerable interrupted with a smile, "Towards Reddust, that is my name!"
After I became the Great Heavenly Venerable, I never used it again.
Everyone thinks I've already reached a lofty height, that my only pursuit is a higher realm. But in reality, I still yearn for the bustling red dust of the world!
"The avatar in the lower realm, facing the red dust, is but a fragment of my soul manifested!"
Gingercloud smiled wryly and nodded, "In that case, you and I are indeed old acquaintances."
That experience in prison had been over two hundred years ago. It existed in Ginger Cloud's memory like a corner tucked away, so much so that Ginger Cloud hadn't recognized the other shore flower at first.
However, once they came to mind, those memories surged forth like waves, flooding my heart.
Jiang Yun sat back down and looked at the Red Dust Heavenly Venerable, saying: "At that time, I remember, you were the master of a sect on the seventh floor of the Dao Prison."
Red Dust Heaven Venerable continued ginger cloud's words, "I have two other good friends who are also demons. One is called Guluo and the other is called Fushang."
Ginger Cloud said, "The reason I know you is because of my disciple, Liu Peng!"
"Indeed!" Hongchen Tianzun nodded. "I also gave you a lot of flowers of the other shore, and you refined them into poison of the other shore souls!"
Thus, Jiang Yun and this Great Heavenly Venerable of the Mortal Realm began to recount all the things they had experienced together during their time in the Dao Prison, speaking to each other one by one.
At this moment, the two of them truly resembled real close friends.
Even, in the process of telling the story, the two would even argue red-faced over some details.
This lecture took a whole day and night.
When the two finally stopped speaking and looked at each other, the Red Dust Celestial Venerable suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha, refreshing, truly refreshing! I haven't had such a pleasant conversation with anyone in ages!"
But Gingercloud didn't smile, instead, he regained his composure and stared at the Heaven Venerable of Red Dust.
When reminiscing about the past, one can view the other as a being from a lower realm, amidst the mundane world. However, upon withdrawing from those memories and returning to the present, the one seated before us is still the Red Dust Celestial Sovereign, someone capable of taking our life with ease!
Seeing that Ginger Cloud wasn't smiling, Hongchen Tianzun's smile although somewhat restrained, still said with a smile: "Don't be so wary of me!"
"Don't say we were once friends, even without this underworld affair, I wouldn't harm you!"
And, it's not just me. As far as I know, several of the Thirteen Great Celestial Venerables don't want to be your enemies!
The words of the Heavenly Venerable of Red Dust stirred something in Jiang Yun's heart. He thought of the Heavenly Venerable of Mandate and the Heavenly Venerable of Emptiness.
However, Gingercloud didn't say it out loud, but smiled and said, "I'm not worried that you'll harm me. I just don't understand, are you a demon"
Xiang Hongchen is a demon, but Jiang Yun couldn't sense any demonic energy from the Red Dust Heavenly Venerable.
Indeed, the Heaven Honored Lord of Red Dust shook his head and said, "I am not a demon."
"As for why I became a demon in the mortal realm, I don't really know myself."
"Because when I first separated that sliver of my soul from myself, I gave her independent consciousness and told her she could freely choose everything about herself and do anything she wanted."
"I will not interfere!"
And the flower I loved most in my life turned out to be ahiganbana, and as a result, she became a higanbana demon!
Jiang Yun suddenly understood a little bit of what the Red Dust Heaven Venerable had said before.
The higher you are, the colder it gets!
Standing in the position of the Great Heavenly Venerable, she obtained many things, but she also had to sacrifice some.
For example, the yearning for the red dust, the yearning for friends, the yearning for love…
Therefore, the Heaven-Honored Lord of Red Dust would take out a strand of his soul and let it reincarnate to pursue what she had sacrificed. It could also be considered helping her fulfill some of her wishes.
Ginger Yun clearly remembered that Xiang Hongchen and the other cultivators who were imprisoned in Dao Prison, after she left Dao Prison, were also taken away by Xiao Letian.
Later on, I vaguely heard that she and that Gu Luo became Dao partners.
After understanding this, Jiang Yun pondered and said: "I'm very curious, there are so many lower realms, why did you specifically let your split soul enter the one I'm in"
The Red Dust Heavenly Venerable pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "Naturally because of you!"
Jiang Yun frowned and said, "Could it be that at that time, you already knew I was sent by my father to that Lower Realm"re!"If Ginger Cloud could hear what the two voices were saying right now, he would surely be shocked.This day, the First Domain of Heavenly Stems, not only boasts formidable defenses, but their respon...
