Chapter 1603 - 589: Comprehending the Dao Through Calligraphy

The Sequencer’s voice was somewhat unfamiliar to Granny Qian,

The unfamiliarity was not in the timbre—in Granny Qian’s life, she had heard the Sequencer’s voice a few times,

In every night of her dreams, she recalled that mysterious and elusive voice. Thus, even though she hadn’t heard the Sequencer speak for thirty years, she still found the sound as vivid as ever.

What was unfamiliar to her was the Sequencer’s intention—the Sequencer intended to descend.

"The descent of the Sequencer is a spectacle that has never happened in my lifetime."

In Jade Capital City, Granny Qian’s position was the Ghost Woman.

Generation after generation of Ghost Women, passing down in sequence, their existence is to build a bridge, connecting the distant gap between the Sequencer and the Yu Jing City People.

But not every generation of Ghost Woman could wait for the Sequencer’s descent.

"The Sequencer is actually descending, just to witness Zhou Xuan’s Divine Miracle?"

Granny Qian couldn’t help but think of the recent "Jade Capital Blossoms", "Citywide Itch",

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Flower God hasn’t been so happy for many years; indeed, it could be considered a Divine Miracle, no wonder the Sequencer’s heart is itching."

The descending Sequencer naturally understood Granny Qian’s thoughts, and his voice once again echoed in her heart,

"The Flower God Pill is certainly astonishing, but Zhou Xuan’s calligraphy, even more so, reaches the pinnacle of perfection."

The Sequencer didn’t speak much, but his words revealed key information—it wasn’t the Flower God Pill, but Zhou Xuan’s calligraphy that truly tempted his descent.

Granny Qian suddenly realized that the line of writing she wrote on the stone tablet not long ago—almost breaking the Bone Brush at the word "break"—actually came from Zhou Xuan’s handwriting.

"But Zhou Xuan is dealing with Little Fu Yao in the human world, how does he have the time to write such extraordinary calligraphy?"

Granny Qian’s heart was suddenly filled with doubt. She first cleared her Heart Spirit, then said to Mr. Ding,

"Mr. Ding, everyone in Xuandu Palace today is fortunate."

"Why fortunate?" Mr. Ding asked.

"The Sequencer intends to descend upon Xuandu Palace. Everyone present will have the chance to behold the Sequencer’s true appearance—is this not fortunate?"

As Granny Qian finished speaking, everyone in Xuandu Palace showed joyful expressions. The opportunity to see the Sequencer and hear his voice might not come even once in a lifetime.

Now that the opportunity had arisen, perhaps they could gain some insights—how could they not be delighted?

Mr. Ding was even more excited, unable to suppress himself, and he asked Granny Qian, "Granny, do you know why the Sequencer is descending this time?"

"To see Zhou Dangzheng’s Divine Miracle."

Granny Qian also changed her address to Zhou Xuan, calling him Dan Zheng.

Mr. Ding nodded, saying, "The spectacle of Jade Capital Blossoms has even the Sequencer’s heart itching with anticipation."

"Initially, I thought so too, but the Sequencer corrected me... the reason for his descent is actually to see Zhou Dangzheng’s calligraphy."

"Calligraphy?"

Mr. Ding, quick to react, immediately recalled the recent stone tablet text,

To be honest, he was still somewhat immersed in the exquisite calligraphy, and when Granny Qian pointed it out, he couldn’t help but ask, "That kind of calligraphy was actually Zhou Dangzheng’s handwriting?"

Granny Qian shook her head and said, "I don’t know either. I was listening to the sacred voice of the Sequencer and didn’t pay attention to the happenings at Lotus Temple."

"Then it’s just right for me to focus on it."

The strange matters that Granny Qian couldn’t focus on, I, Mr. Ding, will pay attention to.

"Very well, I am going to perform the divine descent ritual. You all, follow me to the palace gate to observe the ceremony."

At Granny Qian’s command, everyone in Xuandu Palace gathered before the palace gate, ready to witness the divine descent ritual.

As Granny Qian recited a ghostly spell, her already Ghostly hunched figure began to rise into the air involuntarily with the incantation,

She floated at the highest point of Jade Capital City, her eyes vacant,

And at this moment, the entire Yu Jing City began to tremble, those isolated floating island structures in the air swayed perceptibly,

Xuandu Palace was also shaking,

All the Dan Masters used their Divine Skills to stabilize themselves, preventing any falls,

The Heavenly Pool Palace Master asked Mr. Ding, "Why is there such a commotion in this divine descent ritual?"

"Because the Flower God needs to be summoned."

Mr. Ding said, "The Flower God is the origin of Jade Capital City. If the Sequencer is to descend, it requires the consent of the Flower God."

While he was speaking, a verdant vine suddenly sprouted from the depths of the mist-covered ground within Jade Capital City.

That vine, thousands of feet long, rose endlessly from the depths until it reached above Xuandu Palace. Then, like a tentacle, it pierced through Granny Qian’s body,

Blood from Granny Qian flowed along the vine, and after a few feet, it dripped down,

Each drop of blood at this moment turned into the color of amber, both eerie and sacred,

Those amber-like drops of blood dripped deep into the lands of Jade Capital City, awakening more vines,

The second vine, the third... the sixteenth vine continuously sprouted from the ground and, like the first vine, pierced into Granny Qian’s body.

Granny Qian seemed to be lifted into the air by the sixteen vines,

Vine infusion, for Granny Qian, was also a first,

She felt her Perception infinitely magnified, able to hear even the sound of a flower ant crawling on the Daoist robe of the Heavenly Pool Pill Master, all captured within her eardrums.

Many strange sounds surged into her body all at once,

Simultaneously, she saw many names, continuously floating,
