Chapter 96: Attaining True Enlightenment
lf pack would encircle and kill you. I pretended to agree. Once the formation was broken, I would do my best to warn you...' ""You've been tricked," Tian Chang said with a sinister smile. "That man kn...Silence spread for a moment.

After the mountain split, the Beiji Tiangui Mountain, cut in half, seemed even more silent.
At this time, Yue Tiannu said: "Do you remember what Dou Zhao said when he came to find us"
Zuo Guangshu thought deeply: “He said Zhu Yan had disappeared, and there were unknown changes happening in the Shanhai Realm. He couldn't guarantee a harvest, so he had to start seizing the Jiuzhang Jade Tablet.”
The disappearance of Jiufeng and Qiangliang was not an isolated incident. Dou Zhao’s target had also vanished.

This immediately reminded Jiang Wang of a question he had thought about before.
If he had not come to the Shan Hai Realm and stripped away his influence, what would have happened to this world
For example, three-pronged.
With the cunning of a trident, there is still a high chance of killing Bi Fang. And if anyone goes to Zhang'e Mountain afterwards, wouldn't they only see Zheng
Any real world is constantly evolving. As a world that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, Shan Hai Jing should be no exception—if today's Shan Hai Jing were identical to the one nine hundred years ago, it wouldn't be truly realistic enough, nor could it possibly confuse generations of prodigies.
Holding a copy of "Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi" and trying to follow its illustrations is unreliable in itself.
Jiang Wang asked, "Must we find the nine phoenixes"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I can handle a variety of languages.
Zuo Guangshuo said: "According to the original plan, I need to get the Nine Phoenix Feather first and then find Diannan Abyss. By igniting the Nine Phoenix Feather in Diannan Abyss, we can obtain clues about the Nine Phoenix Mark."
"Is Di Nanyue perhaps at the southernmost extremity of this realm" Jiang Wang asked.
Zuo Guangshudao: “The so-called Diannan淵, ‘at this point and south decline,’ of course is the southernmost part of this realm. However, the realm of mountains and seas is vast and difficult to measure. It's very difficult for us to reach it in a short time on our own, so if we want to go to Diannan淵, we have to take the path of the divine descent of this realm, which is also known as the Rainbow Bridge.”
First, you need to go to the Tian Gui Shan in the North Pole to find Jiufeng and try to obtain its feather. Then, you need to find the Divine Descent Path and use it to reach Diaonan Yuan to ignite Jiufeng's feather. Only then can you obtain the relevant clues... The difficulty of obtaining the Jiufeng Chapter also demonstrates its preciousness.
Extracting the text within the tags and translating it to English:"Pulling out a phoenix's feather is already a near-death experience! The strength of the mountain gods and sea gods in this Shanhai Realm was something Jiang Wang had deeply felt. If it weren't for Zuo Guangshu still having items from the Duke of Huai specifically prepared for the Nine Phoenix, he wouldn't have any hope for this journey."
The path of divine descent, as for its location, need not be spoken. Who knows which mountain god or sea god might pass by Should one of them be in a bad mood, they could crush them without hesitation.
...and Di Nan Yuan... just the name sounds very unsafe.

Xiaoguang's goal was set so high, it was certainly a miscalculation, lacking an adequate understanding of his own abilities and the difficulty of the Shanhai Realm. But Huiguo Gong did not give him a warning, and even helped solve the problem of Jiufeng at this step. There must be his own considerations...
According to Zuo Guangsu's plan, things were difficult, at least there was a plan.
But now the Shan Hai Realm is undergoing inexplicable changes. The Nine Phoenixes have vanished, and the Beiji Tian Gui Mountain stands empty. The first step of the plan has been cut short.
It's no wonder that Zu Guangshu was dumbfounded there.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wang asked again: "Since Jiufeng has disappeared, is there any other way to obtain the Jiufeng Seal"
Zuo Guangshu naturally considered this issue: “After the heavens fall, those who can survive and successfully reach the central mountain can use the Jiuzhang Jade Tablet in their hands to obtain Huang Weichen's legacy. What is included in that legacy is unknown, but I think there might also be a chance to obtain the Nine Phoenix Seal from it.”
"What is Tianqing ...Will the sky here...collapse"
"That's a good understanding. When Tianqing arrives, it generally marks the final stage of the journey through Shanhai Realm. At that time, various apocalyptic signs will occur. The mountain gods and sea gods will remain in their respective domains, using the power of Shanhai to defend themselves. Outsiders will be unable to survive outside Mount Central."
“That is to say...” Jiang Wang analyzed, “In the end, all the survivors will gather at Mount Central”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Left Guangxu nodded.
Will it always rain cats and dogs
"According to the information I've gathered, it happens every time," Zuo Guangshu said. "Unless everyone leaves before then."
"There's still a chance, a very good chance." Jiang Wang said with conviction: "The three of us working together, we have nothing to fear."
This kind of certainty is very reassuring.
The hardship of this journey to the Shan Hai Jing realm exceeded everyone's imagination.
After entering the Shan Hai Realm, almost everyone suffered a profound lesson.
The son of a prominent family, Zuo Guangshu began to question his life and even denied himself.
Background shrouded in mystery like a celestial slave, even under repeated attacks, his emotions once spiraled out of control.
Only Jiang Wang, despite constantly suffering defeats and being repeatedly beaten into retreat, with wounds piled upon wounds... he still held his head high and remained full of confidence in the road ahead.

“What’s the situation like in the mountains of the center” Yue Tiannu asked aloud.
Left Guangshu shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows. All the intelligence shows that there is only such a place. Those who participated in the Shanhai Realm before seemed to have naturally received rewards after successfully reaching the central mountain. It shouldn't be that simple, but I can't say for sure."
“Holding the Nine Chapters Jade Bi, enter the central mountain.” Jiang Wang seemed thoughtful: “The more jade bi, the more choices”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Left Guangshu pondered for a moment and said, “Huang Wei’s true bequest is like a nine-grid enigma box covered in black cloth. Each Nine Chapters Jade Tablet can open one grid, and people cannot see what lies inside. They can only reach in and feel around, able to take away only one bequest. Of course, the more Nine Chapters Jade Tablets one has, the more choices will appear. The more Nine Chapters Jade Tablets you control, the greater your chances of obtaining what you desire.”
"Why can't we just gather all the Nine Chapters Jade Talismans together and have everyone take turns controlling them, one by one" Jiang Wang asked.
Zuo Guangshudao: “Because in the Shan Hai Realm, each jade bi can only be used once. Once any ‘grid’ is opened, it will disappear.”
Jiang Wang nodded.

Left Guangshu has already spoken very vividly.
In the Shan Hai realm, there are two ways to obtain what you want. One is the conventional way, such as Zuo Guangshu's plan. First, go to Beiji Tiankuishan and then Di Nan Yuan... The other is a fallback option, which is to survive the Tianqing incident, enter the Central Mountain, and rely on the Jiuzhang Jade Tablet to obtain Huang Weizhen's legacy.
The latter choice has a lot to do with luck. The chest you open may not contain what you need.
Because it is impossible to determine the information within the central mountain, theoretically speaking, those who enter the Shan Hai Realm should first choose to obtain what they desire through conventional means.
In this way, as long as their goals are not the same, there will generally be no conflict in their individual exploration.
But there are always exceptions, and people don't always make rational choices.
For example, Tai Yin wanted to expel Jiang Wang first and foremost, while Wu Ling Ge Fei also targeted others with the intention of expelling the strongest opponent first.
For example, Dou Zhao, after confirming that Zhu Yan had disappeared, immediately started clearing the scene with his blade.
Yue Tiannu said, "On the way here, Master Jiang said that on the mountain god's wall, he saw the Jiuzhang Yu bi gather at the Shanhai realm. According to Zuo Gongzi's theory, all the 'grids' could be opened. If we can successfully resist the Tianting and reach the central mountain, there should be a Nine Phoenix chapter in Huang Wei's true legacy this time."
"I suppose so," Jiang Wang said, then looked at Zuo Guangshu: "Can the things that Marquis Huai prepared for you be used to deal with Dou Zhao"
Although he thought that with the help of Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu, he should be able to defeat Dou Zhao again. But on the one hand, Dou Zhao might also find allies, and on the other hand, it's always better to be more cautious.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Duke Huai's preparations to deal with Jiufeng should be quite powerful, capable of easily resolving a Dou Zhao.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Guangshu fell silent.

After a while, he shook the silver cylinder in his hand, and a liquid sloshing sound came from inside.
Then he said, “This thing’s used by twisting the base. The liquid inside will fly out and automatically spray onto the target. Just a little touch will make its feathers fall off.”
“…” Jiang Wang was momentarily speechless: “Depilatory”
Who would have thought
The Grand Prince of Chu from the state of Huai, who specially prepared something to deal with Jiu Feng, turned out to be so down-to-earth!
But upon closer thought, such powerful means wouldn't be allowed into the Shan Hai realm. Otherwise, this place would have been in chaos long ago. Almost everyone who enters the Shan Hai realm has a background. Under these limited conditions, the methods used by the Marquis of Huai are indeed "targeted"...
"No matter what, to avoid missing anything or overlooking something. Let's personally search the mountain again. We can speed things up, but we shouldn't skimp on the effort." Jiang Wang said finally.
But all the while, he was thinking —
Is this the "time" you're referring to
When the heavens collapse and the world perishes, can one see clearly the true form of the realm of mountains and seas
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Boom boom boom!
The waterfall still crashed onto the river that circled the mountain. Icicles flew everywhere, and water splashed all around.
The three men, empty-handed, flew away from Beigu Tianguishan.
"Where should we go next There needs to be a plan," Jiang Wang said, looking at Yue Tiannu: "The Nine Phoenix Feather is currently beyond our reach. What is the master's goal for coming to the Shanhai Realm"
Yue Tiannu gently shook her head. "I came here only to see the true scenery of Huang Wei, nothing else."
She had originally intended to bring Qu Shunhua to the Hengnianshan Haijing realm, but later discovered that one generation gives way to another, and Qu Shunhua was eliminated before her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't say anything more.
Jiang Wang then suggested, "Perhaps we should first seek the divine descending path and visit Di Nan Yuan. Since there are clues to the Nine Phoenix Chapter there, we shouldn't ignore it. Perhaps there's a way to bypass the Nine Phoenix Feather and find clues."
Zuo Guangshu naturally knew that Jiang Wang was thinking of him, but he still refused: "Even the south is withered there, showing the danger of Diannan淵. Without the protection of the Nine Phoenix Feathers and no definite clues, the danger is too great and the gains are too meager. This is not a wise decision. Brother Jiang, don't worry too much about me. Let's wait for Tianqing to arrive, rush into the central mountain, and try our luck with the Jiuzhang Jade Tablet in our hands."
"How long is it until the celestial phenomenon occurs" Jiang Wang asked.
Zuo Guangshu shook his head. "There's no set time for the Celestial Collapse, only that it will happen, we just don't know when."
"If it happens in just three or five hours, then so be it. But if it takes three or five days, eight or nine days…" Jiang Wang said, "This much time wasted waiting is a waste for you, for me, and for Master Yue Chan. If we're only here to find a place to practice while we wait, why did we come to the Shan Hai Realm"
Furthermore, the Shanhai Realm has undergone immeasurable changes of unknown origin. Past experiences are no longer applicable. If we fail to find a way to uncover the truth, we will only remain clueless and wait passively for disaster to strike. When crisis arrives, we will be left helpless and vulnerable at the mercy of fate.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang patted Zuo Guangshu's shoulder: "My decision isn't just for you. Since Di Nanyuan has clues about the Nine Phoenix Seal, and the Nine Phoenix Seal is so important, Di Nanyuan must be a very important place in the Shanhai Realm. Perhaps there are answers to how the Shanhai Realm has changed to this state. Without entering that abyss, how can we understand its secrets"
"Master Jiang makes a valid point," Yuetian Slave clasped his hands and said, "As the saying goes, 'If I don't go to hell, who will' The more difficult and dangerous the situation, the more we must bravely face it."
"It's not as dangerous as the Zen master said. We have the Jiuzhang Jade Bi on us. If we think something is wrong, we can find a chance to leave early."
>
Zuo Guangshu still hesitated: "But..."
"There's nothing else." Jiang Wang interrupted. "Do you have a better choice If so, I'm listening. If not, the current option is the best we have. Just move forward."
Zuo Guangshu could not speak.
At this moment, Yue Tiannu again said: “Namo Bao Guang Buddha. Heaven’s will is the Buddha’s will. What Master Jiang says is very much in line with Buddhist principles.”
I don't know what's wrong with this puppet master, why he suddenly...became a bit too much of a flatterer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "I'm thinking...if the Shanhai Realm is really a test left by Huang Wei. Then with the disappearance of the Nine Phoenixes and the Beiji Tianguan Mountain becoming an empty mountain, will the test to obtain the Jiufeng Seal change"
Left Guangshu was also stunned for a moment.
The answer to this question may point directly to the truth of this world!
Under the moonlight, Yue Tiannu clasped her hands together, her face bathed in a divine glow. “By following the true path, one attains enlightenment. We cultivators should use this as our proof. Mistress Jiang has spoken well...”
Everyone knows the Buddha, but how many truly know the true nature of the Buddha
Yue Tiannu's origins are too complicated, she is definitely more than just a junior disciple of the Xiyue Nunnery.
>
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, and asked: "Is it certain that Xiyue Monastery doesn't accept male disciples"
Yu Tiannu's eyes held a rare hint of playfulness as he slowly said, "If Madam Jiang is interested, I could make an exception."
Jiang Wang's face was solemn: "The Xiyue Monastery is a prestigious and ancient institution. I am unworthy, how dare I tarnish Baoshan's reputation"
"If you consider these things, gender isn't really an issue. For example, my current physical form is asexuality." Yue Tiannu said very calmly, "There are many ways to do it."
"The monk really knows how to joke!" Jiang Wang said with a dry smile.
"Guangshu!" he quickly said, "Time is of the essence, let's discuss how to get to the Shenjiang Road as soon as possible."
Some words cannot be spoken yet.
But to wait passively, doing nothing, was not his style.
Over at the southern abyss, perhaps there are answers, or perhaps not. It's worth a try to find out.
