Grandpa, times have changed.

Seeing His madness, Gu could only sigh softly.

"Why bother……"

"Why...why?!"

He suddenly sprang up, and the dense chains clanged and jingled as he moved.

But just as He was about to touch Gu, the chains binding Him suddenly tightened!
With a slight creaking sound, each latch began to twist and deform due to its movement, as if it might snap at any moment.

He is about to touch the ancient one!
However, in the end, they were still just a hair's breadth away, a chasm that seemed insurmountable, and they could not make any further progress.

The face, so perfect it was almost divine, was twisted in anger, revealing a strange kind of beauty.

Gu watched calmly.

As just mentioned, He is already 'dead,' having fallen before the joint witness of the fifteen enlightened beings.

How could someone who has already completely perished possibly touch Him?
"If you hadn't investigated back then, how could you have ended up in this state?"

He stared intently at Gu.

After a long while, he sat back down, somewhat dejected.

"Should we just remain ignorant fools and not bother to investigate?"

Perhaps knowing he couldn't do anything to Gu, He appeared much calmer, but his tone still carried a hint of sarcasm.

"By swallowing the will of Heaven to build the 'Heavenly Gate,' taking the meaning of 'the will of Heaven is vast and boundless,' one can comprehend the Dao, attain enlightenment, and become a Primordial Ancestral God."

"Xuan may be stupid, but he is indeed powerful!"

"This method directly compensates for the Cang Clan's innate defects, making 'the most perfect under the Dao' no longer an obstacle to proving the Dao. If there is no external interference, the risk is even lower than the human race's 'Dao Extreme' method of seeking life and death."

As he spoke, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"But the Great Dao is vast and boundless, and this method is subtle and profound. Those who use this method to attain enlightenment only need a tiny bit of internal influence..."

His voice grew louder and louder, and finally he burst into laughter again!
"Hahaha!"

"Utter ruin! Even the slightest influence will lead to utter annihilation!"

"It won't work! As long as I'm here, this method will never succeed!"

The last sentence was almost roared out.

Gu's face was extremely pale.

He, along with Xuan, Tian, ​​and thirteen true immortals of the human race, a total of sixteen enlightened beings, witnessed his 'fall'.

This place has very little influence over the outside world.

But the Cang clan is an exception.

“You’ve forgotten that many of them once followed you,” Gu said in a deep voice.

"Ah!"

He merely sneered at these words, his eyes filled with mockery.

"You'd better think carefully about how to keep this trip a secret from that idiot Xuan."

"..." After a long silence, "If the Cang Clan perishes, you will not survive either."

"I'm already dead. I was beaten to death in front of you, Xuan, Tian, ​​and those true immortals of the human race, wasn't I?"

"..." Gu remained silent for a long time, "I can help you return, as long as you..."

Before the conditions could be fully stated, they were abruptly interrupted.

"If I return, I will kill you first!"

"...Think it over carefully."

Having said that, knowing that this trip would be fruitless, He turned and left, and the entire space began to collapse because of His action.

The chains extending in all directions became blurred, transforming into the formless and intangible Dao principles that exist between all things.

A hazy current of air, containing all the colors of the world and flashing at an extremely fast frequency, penetrated in, as if a circular platform carved from bluestone was gradually disappearing under the erosion of the current.

Even the figure seated in the center of the platform, bound by countless chains, began to lose its form, transforming into a constantly shifting, chaotic mist.
Low laughter drifted from the misty air.

Finally, just before this space completely ceased to exist, a murmured whisper came.

"In the beginning, in the vast and boundless void, countless beings arose, and in the earliest times, the laws governing the primordial chaos established the fundamental principles..."

Gu paused, closed his eyes, sighed softly, and then stepped forward again.

It was almost time for him to leave.

……

……

The core of Qingxu.

As the dark gray mist surged to both sides, the previously vanished 'entrance' reopened.

A seven-colored deity emerged from it, with an endless halo of light and shadow flowing behind his head.

It was Gu who had just emerged from that 'non-existent' place.

The gray-black fog became increasingly hazy.

If you look closely, you'll find that the fog itself has several layers of hazy, overlapping shadows.

This is a sign that the 'past' is approaching the 'present'.

The human immortals should be free to deal with things soon; He needs to return to the 'past' as soon as possible to avoid...

"cut!"

Without a sound, a cold glint suddenly appeared!

A pure white, flawless sword light tore through everything, annihilating all things, and swept across with endless destructive and murderous intent!

Ok? !

Before they could even react, the supreme sword of slaughter manifested a scene of utter destruction!

All that could be seen was the shattering of mountains and rivers, the darkness of the sun and moon, the turmoil of the Milky Way, and the wailing of gods and men!
A raging sea of ​​blood engulfed the starry sky.

kill!

The sea of ​​fog surged, and in an instant, all the strange beasts in Qingxu were annihilated, their souls and bodies destroyed.

Ancient beings are already weaker than ordinary enlightened beings in the present world, and the killing power of this sword far surpasses that of ordinary enlightened beings.

Thus, the moment it touched him, the divine body formed by the seven-colored divine light was mostly destroyed, and the divine halo of time behind his head was shattered.

"Sword Master?!"

Amidst the endless silence and impending destruction, Gu Jing, whose divine body was reduced to a mere fraction, was filled with rage and despair.

He saw it!

I saw the figure slowly emerging from the mist.

She wore a plain moon-white robe and a dark blue bamboo-patterned gauze draped over her shoulders. Her features were exquisite, and her demeanor was serene and refined.

He held a three-foot-three-inch long sword in his hand, its blade as bright as solidified moonlight, with ancient patterns wrapped around its hilt.

The sword's rainbow pulsed, its destructive and annihilating intent causing the surrounding mist to freeze completely.

He looked at Him with a cold and calm expression.

Truly a Sword Master!

What's the Sword Master doing here?!

How could her cultivation level be...?

Where did you just go?

"Fleeting life! An eternal reflection!"

In an instant, the river of time surged with enormous waves, with endless light and shadow flowing within it.

Surrounded by galaxies, a magnificent figure, towering and earth-shaking, emerges with the waves.

There are clouds, people, and demons!

Ancient and desolate, cold and stern, eerie and mysterious.

Endless interplay of light and shadow filled the Qingxu!

Countless past Daoists, those who had attained enlightenment, those who had reached the pinnacle of understanding, those who had penetrated the truth, and even true immortals and enlightened beings, all made their moves at this moment, unleashing their most powerful divine abilities.

A torrent of supernatural power, powerful enough to engulf the entire central continent, surged forth from the past and relentlessly approached the present!
The mere wisp of divine light that was transmitted caused the space of the mortal world to continuously crumble.

In response, Bie Xuening simply swung her sword and slashed!
hum!
The supreme killing sword light swept out, easily annihilating everything it touched.

'I must give up this body.'

Gu quickly made a judgment in his mind.

His way is rooted in the past and is not good at direct confrontation.

The Sword Master's sword is too ferocious.

With a single sword strike, all laws are shattered!

She had always been extremely restrained before, not to mention that her cultivation had now progressed and surpassed that of ordinary enlightened beings.

Although He relinquished His original physical form, it will take Him a long time to recover.

But they managed to deceive Xuan by taking advantage of the Sword Master's attack.

As for whether He might have doubts...

There's no need to worry about that.

Xuan may have guessed something, but as long as he doesn't know the truth, he won't delve into many things for the sake of the bigger picture.

Moreover, although the Sword Sovereign is skilled in killing and her sword is the most ferocious in the heavens, that's all there is to it. There's no need to worry about her discovering it...

Thoughts are spinning.

Having made his decision, Gu Dang roared and charged toward the supreme killing sword light, dragging his broken divine body.

And he gave up resistance, allowing the sword light to annihilate the rest of his divine body. Hmm?
Bie Xue Ning paused, but Gu had already completely disappeared into the sword light.

Reinvented!

An unprecedented blow.

It can be said that all the injuries he suffered before combined cannot compare to this one.

However, Bie Xuening was not happy at all.

"He died after just two sword strikes..."

She wanted to find the place where Gu disappeared to, and did not intend to kill Gu with two swords.

"just……"

Is it like someone voluntarily 'going to their death'?
With this thought in mind, Bie Xuening waved her hand, and wisps of seven-colored divine light mixed in with the stagnant mist were drawn out and gathered in her palm, forming a sphere the size of a thumb.

I stared at it quietly for a while.

emm...

It's still a sphere; you can't really tell the difference.

Silently putting the sphere away, she carefully checked the spot where Gu had just appeared several times, but still found nothing.

Forget it, I'll ask my junior brother to take a look.

After slashing a few more times towards the past, and confirming that Gu was completely dead, she turned and disappeared.

……

……

The front lines of the starry sky.

The constant clash between the red light and purple aura finally subsided, and all was calm.

Xu Xing and Xuan faced off across the starry frontier battlefield, which had been reshaped countless times.

Without uttering a word, Xuan simply passed Xu Xing, took a deep look in the direction of the Central Continent, then turned and walked towards the other side of the starry sky, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

A red light flashed in Xu Xing's hand, and he sheathed the sword in his palm.

Seeing this, You, Min, and Kui, who were guarding the rear, also came to his side.

"How did it go?" You asked.

"No problem."

From the very beginning, Xuan's purpose was to use this opportunity to test Gu and find traces of 'Tai'.

Preventing Junior Sister Chenhuan from attaining enlightenment was merely a casual attempt.

Having failed to block the path, Senior Sister has returned from Qingxu, and Gu's original body has also been destroyed. He has clearly sensed the situation in the past realm, so he went back to check the situation.

"Next."

Xu Xing turned to look at the central mainland.

"It all depends on Junior Sister Chenhuan's own fate."

All obstacles have been cleared away.

Now we'll see what my senior sister finds.

……

……

Taishang Daozong.

Above the sky, thousands of red rainbows and countless auspicious clouds.

Auspicious clouds lift it up, and spiritual mist surrounds it.

A beautiful woman with a light veil over her eyes stood before the Yuan Palace, gazing at the Qingxu Ruins.

"Hopefully, it will be fruitful."

If she had the same cultivation level as her fellow Daoist, she should have been the one to go to Qingxu this time.

After all, she is in charge of the 'causal' principle.

pity……

Looking at the thirteen true immortals, only Brother Dao and Sword Master have absolute confidence in leaving behind the ancient ones.

The Daoist brother is going to the front lines of the starry sky to hold off Xuan, while the others...

Even the Demon Ancestor, who has also made progress in cultivation, could be escaped by Him if He is not careful.

She withdrew her gaze, stopped thinking about it, and instead began to sense the Dao essence that permeated the world.

"The Extreme of Stars".

She slowly raised her hand, and wisps of spiritual mist drifted from her fingertips, with tiny specks of stardust shimmering within, like a small section of a galaxy descended to the mortal world.

"If I become... the Lord of Stars?"

The Sword Master who rules over all the stars in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Therefore, the title after attaining immortality should be 'Star Ancestor' or 'Star Venerable'.

"I wonder what she will choose."

She put her hand down and looked up at the sky.

By this time, the sky was no different from the dead of night, with countless stars shining brightly, but the sun appeared dim and lackluster, with only a round, golden outline hanging on the horizon.

Starlight poured down like a river, falling on every corner of the central continent.

"I still enjoy big, lively events as always."

As if remembering something, a smile appeared on her face.

Although Sister-in-law Chenhuan usually appears rigid and serious, she is actually a person who loves lively and romantic things in private.

Among all those sisters-in-law, she was the one she got along with the best.

……

……

The Immortal Sect Grand Competition Venue.

auditorium.

Leng Rou, now only a wisp of her soul, was gazing at the sky.

The originally translucent illusory soul body became more and more solid under the nourishment of starlight, and the blood jade that Xu Xing gave her was also absorbing starlight and transforming into pure soul power.

"Ascending to immortality, a stroke of good fortune..."

Legend has it that the ancient sages attained immortality and ascended to heaven, and all living beings in heaven and earth received the true immortal's creation, which is infinitely mysterious.

I never imagined that I would be so fortunate as to have this opportunity today.

Not just in Taixuan Realm.

Earth Immortal.

Cold Moon Sword Palace.

The newly appointed Palace Master of the Sword Palace stood amidst countless crystal-clear ice crystals, gazing at the sky.

This was at the moment when the sun was rising and the moon was setting.

However, the sky was not yet tinged with the light of dawn, only the twinkling of stars illuminating the heavens and the earth.

"Master Yu Jian..."

Yuan Zhen Realm.

Many Dao-aligned beings sat at the source of cosmic time, gazing beyond the world.

Taiping Boundary.

Taiping Dao Kingdom, Guardian Deity Temple.

Jiang Lin, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood in front of the hall.

A young woman dressed in a silk skirt stood beside him, gazing at the starry sky with him.

Despite enduring countless hardships and facing death several times, Jiang Lin still managed to become a Daoist couple with Jade Void Heavenly Lord.
In various grotto-heavens, many profound beings, like them, gazed at the stars with extremely complex expressions.

All those emotions ultimately culminated in a sigh.

"Only in this way can one become an immortal..."

Beyond the Third New Realm.

Beyond the boundless, chaotic sea.

A pair of eyes quietly appeared, bathing the heavens in His color.

The pupils pulsed with a raging 'divine fire,' as if countless gods were manifesting within them, and immeasurable worlds rose and fell with the pulsation of the 'divine fire.'

Supreme and holy, extremely holy and divine!
The creator of the extraordinary ritual system, the supreme being.

"A new True Immortal..."

The supreme will swept across, radiating throughout all realms, altering the course of the world's events, and redefining the rules and destiny.

The chaotic sea contains all living beings and countless worlds!

Under the witness of the 'Supreme Being' on the distant other side.

Buzz~!

A magnificent and dreamlike starry sea descended upon the Chaos Sea, originating from Qingxu.

The moment it appeared, it covered the three realms, and its magnificent will permeated the primordial chaos, proclaiming to all the heavens!

The Tai Xuan Realm Star Ancestor, having reached the pinnacle of star enlightenment, spent 10,798 years in seclusion before attaining immortality and ascending to heaven.

Lord of all the stars in the heavens, Supreme Being of the Evening Elephant of all realms! (End of Chapter)
