"Actually... I’m still conflicted."
Listening silently to Li Boyang’s evaluation of him, Zhuang Zhou, whose consciousness had returned to his body, instinctively retorted.
In the next second, the everlasting glacier suddenly shattered.
They saw the enormous Giant Roc spread its fins and soar skyward, the howling wind sweeping up countless ice shards.
Whoosh!
Witnessing this scene, a cold wind gathered atop the head of the Giant Roc.
When the Giant Roc completely broke free from the everlasting glacier, the cold wind transformed into the image of the Ice Demoness.
"What do you plan to do now?"
Looking down at Zhuang Zhou beneath her feet, Lu Huaijin’s voice was as cold as ever.
She hadn’t clearly heard Zhuang Zhou’s complaints before he escaped, nor did she know what had happened in Great Freedom Heaven.
But Lu Huaijin heard Li Boyang’s words — henceforth, in the Three Realms, no being will escape the cycle of reincarnation.
Understanding her master well, Lu Huaijin was certain that he had secretly orchestrated something significant, likely related to Zhuang Zhou.
"The Celestial Realm has been born, and the Three Realms are about to take shape..."
"As the original creator of Great Freedom Heaven, it would be a shame not to visit personally!"
Contrary to his state while inside Lu Huaijin, Zhuang Zhou’s voice now brimmed with carefree anticipation.
This was Zhuang Zhou’s true nature, the Pathfinder who pioneered the Path of Great Freedom.
Life and death were never of concern to him; what he pursued was his own joy.
"Madman!"
Even as she said this, Lu Huaijin did not leave Zhuang Zhou’s head.
For unknowingly, the corners of Lu Huaijin’s mouth revealed a smile similar to Zhuang Zhou’s.
In terms of nature, Lu Huaijin and Zhuang Zhou were somewhat alike; otherwise, she wouldn’t have later accepted Zhuang Zhou as her disciple.
Moreover, since the Celestial Realm was her master’s creation, how could Lu Huaijin be afraid?
"Haha! If we’re talking about madness, Master, you are no less than me!"
With another carefree laugh, Zhuang Zhou’s spread fins began to undergo a rapid transformation.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the fins turned into a pair of wings that blocked out the sky and sun, and Zhuang Zhou’s body began to grow striking plumage.
To accommodate this change, even the body structure of the Giant Roc began to transform.
The body became streamlined, better suited for the air, and the internal bones evolved into a high-strength hollow structure.
To support this massive body for flight.
Zhuang Zhou’s bones were no longer ordinary calcium carbonate structures.
They were a high-strength metal alloy, possessing both toughness and healing properties.
Flowing inside these hollow bones wasn’t marrow but a collection of nearly immortal omnipotent cells.
Apart from conventional blood production, these cells themselves contained abundant energy and could even serve as central carriers for energy transport.
Whoosh!
With another powerful flap of its wings, gusts instantly swept in all directions...
From afar, one could see Zhuang Zhou breaking through the clouds, soaring upward, casting a vast shadow that covered hundreds of kilometers.
Such an exaggerated, outrageous transformation could not escape the eyes of the gods of the North Sea.
"That’s the Great Roc! How is it possible?"
The gigantic dragon head emerged from the water, and the Dragon Turtle just stared blankly at the Kun Roc in the sky.
Transform from fish to bird, from Roc to Great Roc, soaring ninety thousand miles high.
Such a transformation, completely defying the laws of physical reality, could only be achieved by Zhuang Zhou, who revered the Path of Great Freedom.
So he knew without a doubt that the Kun Roc must be the long-lost Zhuang Zhou.
"Didn’t you say he had failed to ascend?"
Standing atop the Dragon Turtle’s head, Xiluo blinked in confusion.
——After Zhuang Zhou’s failed ascension, the Celestial Demon would descend, and Great Freedom Heaven would manifest.
——Then countless demons would emerge, turning the entire world into the Demon Realm.
This was the Dragon Turtle’s description of Zhuang Zhou’s failed ascension.
But the current situation appeared somewhat different from the Dragon Turtle’s description.
"This is the first time I’ve seen such a situation, perhaps it’s related to the Tao Ancestor?"
Slightly tilting its head uncertainly, the Dragon Turtle’s voice was equally filled with uncertainty.
"Don’t move! We’re still on your head!"
Nearly stumbling into the sea, Shangyang somewhat helplessly reminded.
"In any case, the fact is Zhuang Zhou is still alive..."
"And from the current situation, he seems to really intend to take the opportunity to ascend."
"And the one on his head... seems to be Lu?"
Thinking for a moment, Xiluo also murmured, sounding somewhat uncertain.
Although Lu Huaijin had transformed into the Ice Demoness, through years of perfecting the Jade Pool Celestial Book, Xiluo had long acquired the ability to see the truth.
"Lu? You mean Lu Huaijin?"
Also noticing Lu Huaijin on Zhuang Zhou’s head, Shangyang was slightly stunned, his mouth agape.
"She has already cultivated the Transformation Divine Power to such an extent?"
Shangyang’s impression of Lu Huaijin was still stuck in her being Li Boyang’s first disciple, the first tri-eyed child.
But now, looking at the Ice Demoness standing in the storm, she was evidently the embodiment of a Celestial Disaster.
Boom!
While Xiluo, Shangyang, and the Dragon Turtle were conversing.
A tremendous explosion suddenly erupted from the sky.
The soaring Kun Roc immediately changed direction, then disappeared from everyone’s sight like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Crack...
In an instant, countless dense cracks appeared in the sky as if it were shattering.
Through those terrifying rifts in space-time, everything happening in the Six Desire Heavens was mirrored into the perspective of the present world.
Especially near the North Sea, those with slightly stronger vision could even clearly see the confrontation between the Primordial Celestial Demon and the Bosun Celestial Demon.
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of the Celestial Realm’s manifestation, Zhuang Zhou appeared once more.
Pushing the power of speed to its limits, the Kun Roc that covered ninety thousand miles reappeared.
as if it had circled the entire world.
The high temperature and sonic barrier generated by the rapid friction turned it into a true ’meteor,’ rushing towards the now-manifesting Six Desire Heavens.
Rumble...
Without any obstruction, the shape of the Kun Roc collided with the cracked fissure in space-time.
Yet, in that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The Kun Roc seemed to crash into a mirror, its body instantly fragmenting into countless tiny pieces.
In each fragment of the space-time fissure, there was a complete Kun Roc.
The only difference was the size and posture varied.
Once fully inside the Six Desire Heavens, the fragmented Kun Roc reassembled.
In the battlefield between the Primordial Celestial Demon and the Bosun Celestial Demon.
The massive Kun Roc spread its wings with laughter, as though a dragon returning to the ocean, appearing exceptionally agile and carefree.
