chapter 0528 part 3
"My peach trees aren't as miraculous as those in the Journey to the West story. An Ordinary Person eating one can only increase their lifespan by three to five hundred years!" The Queen Mother of the West seemed to see through Tang Song's thoughts. As she spoke, she reached out, picked up a vermillion fruit, brought it to her lips, and smiled.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist actually knows about Journey to the West?" Tang Song looked at the Queen Mother of the West, feeling a bit surprised.
The Queen Mother of the West started to smile: "Do you think I'm that kind of old fogey in Fellow Daoist's heart?" Then she sighed: "The technological development of these Mortals has exceeded everyone's expectations, including us Gods. Even we have to value their development!"
The Queen Mother of the West glanced at Tang Song: "The Underworld can keep pace with the development of the Mortal Realm, and K'un-Lun naturally can too. K'un-Lun doesn't just have desolate and empty Palaces and those beautiful Heavenly Maidens! Among the satellites operating in the sky, three are from K'un-Lun!"
It seems he wasn't the only smart person in This World. Tang Song smiled. Those Immortal/Deities weren't fools either. Seeing humanity's technology develop so rapidly, they would definitely cast their gaze upon it.
However, the change in the Queen Mother of the West's attitude made Tang Song's heart stir: "Fellow Daoist wants to take my boat to see what's Outside the Islands!?"
The Queen Mother of the West sighed softly and said: "To be frank with Fellow Daoist, since the birth of This World, I have existed in This World, personally witnessing This World go from nothing to something, witnessing this Planet go from desolation to its current prosperity—"
"I created the Primal Humans and personally destroyed them. I established Order that ruled the World and personally watched the collapse of Order! Now, I have reached the peak in This World—"
Tang Song smiled faintly, understanding the Queen Mother of the West's feelings and thoughts. This Ancient God's ideas were slightly different from the Ancient One's. That Sorcerer Supreme was in charge of the Timeline and had become completely tired and bored of seeing everything, like watching a chess game that had been repeated countless times.
What she needed was novelty from Outside Time, even if this novelty was an apple falling onto the chess game board.
The Queen Mother of the West before him, however, had truly reached the limit of power that This World could contain. In This World, she couldn't see the Road Ahead. She wanted to go further, just like those seekers of the Dao.
"That Cauldron of Taishan Fujun once made me feel it was my hope to go further! For this Cauldron, he and I had many magical combats!" The Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell below the Sea of Clouds. On the Sea Surface, nearly a thousand Japan Yokai had already suffered heavy casualties. Dozens of figures were still fighting non-stop around that black Cauldron.
"This Underworld Cauldron is indeed an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Refining it can indeed achieve the Golden Immortal Karmic Position!" Tang Song's gaze also fell upon the Underworld Cauldron held by Shuten-doji. As for the Japan Great Demon, who was left with only one arm, blind, surrounded by several Great Demons, and critically wounded and dying, Tang Song didn't even bother to look at him.
"Innate Spiritual Treasure!?" The Queen Mother of the West looked at Tang Song with doubt. Clearly, there was no concept of Innate Spiritual Treasure in This World.
"So-called Innate Spiritual Treasures are products of a World's Rules Manifestation. Each Innate Spiritual Treasure represents different Rules, and their power and function also differ. Some Innate Spiritual Treasures can Immobilize the Four Great Elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water), while others can break open Chaos and recreate Universe Worlds. As for this Underworld Cauldron, rather than saying it's an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it's better to say it's an Innate Divine Artifact!"
"Innate Divine Artifact!" The Queen Mother of the West, who was immersed in the power of the Innate Spiritual Treasures described by Tang Song, subconsciously repeated.
"Innate Divine Artifacts are also a type of Innate Spiritual Treasure, but they are born from the Heavenly Dao's influence and carry a certain Mission. Just like this Underworld Cauldron, appearing in Taishan Fujun's hands, his Mission from holding the Cauldron was to open up the Underworld and compensate for the Heavenly Dao's deficiencies!
And as his return for opening up the Underworld, it was a Golden Immortal Karmic Position! The Way of Heaven diminishes the excessive and supplements the insufficient. The Heavenly Dao is actually more like a running software that can automatically find and fix its own flaws!"
As Tang Song spoke, he fell into a certain contemplation. Combining this with the insights from the Jambudvīpa World Source Imprint, he felt his Dao Heart become clearer by several degrees. The feeling was like a highly nearsighted author putting on a new pair of glasses after using the old ones for four or five years, seeing the World a bit more clearly!
"Then, does that mean the power of Innate Divine Artifacts is above that of Innate Spiritual Treasures!" The Queen Mother of the West said thoughtfully.
Hearing her words, Tang Song gave a wry smile. He flicked his robe sleeve, and boundless divine radiance burst forth from within.
Buzz buzz buzz—On the Sea Surface, the Underworld Cauldron, which had been fought over by dozens of Great Demons without any movement, began to shake violently.
Then, a clear light and a black light intertwined, instantly shredding those dozens of Great Demons and drawing them into the Cauldron.
Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been observing the Battlefield from afar, saw this scene and was so frightened her face turned pale. She transformed into a demonic wind and ran for her life, but it was too late.
After the Underworld Cauldron rotated for thirty-six cycles, a mass of greenish-black mist was expelled from within the Cauldron body. That fist-sized mist expanded, instantly covering an area of a thousand li.
The mist only existed for two or three moments. When the mist retracted, the largest Island of Fusang directly disappeared—
"The strength or weakness of an Innate Spiritual Treasure depends on who the User is?" Tang Song beckoned, and the black Cauldron flew directly into his palm: "Killing two birds with one stone, there was actually an unexpected gain!"
