Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 157 The Emperor's Bell Rings, the Supreme One Arrives

Chi!
Brilliant divine light ripples in this vast uninhabited area, a sacred tree hangs high in the sky, and strands of divine light are interweaving with the truth between heaven and earth.

"The Great Dao is flawed... I think I can fix it?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes opened and closed, and countless patterns of heaven and earth were reflected in his pupils. The Kunmu dragon pattern on the precious tree above his head appeared and merged with heaven and earth.

In the process of engraving the principles of heaven and earth, Zhou Cheng also realized that he seemed to be able to give back to heaven and earth.

Just like Kunmu back then, it connects the heavens and the earth and sorts out the principles of the primitive ancient world.

"Wait a little longer, until I step into the imperial realm, and then I can fix the rules of heaven and earth."

The so-called great way is imperfect, which does not mean that a certain way no longer exists. Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, time and space, chaos and thousands of ways all exist, but each one is not perfect and has flaws.

Zhou Cheng even felt a bit of ominousness and darkness, which was entangled and corroded this world like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

For ordinary people, this will not have any impact.

However, for those who want to break through the human realm and achieve immortality, this is an insurmountable chasm.

Not to mention the Supreme, even the true immortals cannot resist that weirdness and ominousness.

Unless a new method is developed that does not rely on any external things, and the heaven and earth are imperfect but I am not, and I take myself as the foundation of the great way, then it will be possible to set foot on the immortal path in this desperate situation.

Above the towering mountain, there was a hazy mist. Zhou Cheng sat on the top of the mountain, perfecting himself.

In the body, wisps of morning light flickered, and three pure white immortal auras transformed into millions of strands, performing the mystery of the three births and all things, spreading into the body and soul, flowing into the limbs and bones, and finally merging into the boundless divine power.

Boom!

Zhou Cheng's three hidden gods roared, his energy and blood surged like an abyss, and rushed directly into the sky, like a roar of wolf smoke, covering the sky and the sun.

A layer of light golden light appeared on Zhou Cheng's body surface, and then turned into purple-gold, as if to cast an immortal golden body.

Through Zhou Cheng's body, one can vaguely see the blood in his body. It is shining brightly, like metallic juice flowing. There is a divine light emerging in every drop of blood, as if it is about to transform into wings and condense into endless primitive symbols.

As the transformation was over, Zhou Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and wisps of extreme light swept across, accompanied by boundless fluctuations of aura, shaking the primitive wilderness in this uninhabited area.

"Ow!"

A strange howl suddenly sounded. Not far from this primitive forest, there was a red swamp.

Clouds rose above the swamp, emitting extreme fluctuations, and faintly one could see wisps of immortal light brewing in the swamp.

A strange shadow emerged from the swamp, its illusory eyes looked dull as it looked at Zhou Cheng.

Wherever his gaze led, thousands of roars sounded, as if a supreme being in his prime was exerting his might to suppress Zhou Cheng.

"break!"

Zhou Cheng let out a light cry and performed a magic trick, directly tearing that gaze apart and looking towards the strange red swamp.

"There was a half-step true immortal whose body dissolved and he died here."

With just one glance, Zhou Cheng saw through the unusualness of this swamp. There was real immortal light in it, which remained immortal after going through countless years.

This should be a truly invincible figure who was about to break through to become a true immortal, but he encountered something strange and ominous and died here.

Although he has not truly reached that realm, he himself is already perfect and the transformation is already mostly complete.

In the later universe of Shrouding the Sky, among the thirty emperors and kings of all ages, there are only a few Heavenly Emperors, Celestial Emperors and Holy Emperors who can be compared with them.

"Fellow Daoist, eternity has passed. Why not let a wisp of obsession turn into strength and follow me to slaughter the people from foreign lands."

As Zhou Cheng spoke, a sharp silver light appeared, followed by the humming of a heavenly sword, which hovered above the blood-red pool.

hum!
Wisps of glow shone out and turned into a formation, covering the bloody swamp.

The shadow on the swamp seemed to have regained some of its intelligence. It looked at Zhou Cheng, then looked at the sharp silver sword.

"Kill the enemy!"

A voice that spanned eternity rang in Zhou Cheng's ears.

Boom!

The bloody swamp was shaking. Zhou Cheng activated the weapon refining technique. A blazing blood flame rose up. Countless red clouds merged into the Heavenly Sword, along with the obsession that had never dissipated throughout the ages, and turned into the Heavenly Sword.

After a while, this ancient swamp fell silent again. Occasionally, some magical things could be seen flowing, but there was no more immortal glow, and the remaining obsession was completely gone.

"This scale of uninhabited area seems to be the Three Thousand Dao Province. I think it is because the Three Thousand Dao Province is adjacent to the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm."

Zhou Cheng used his supernatural powers with his eyes, and the third eye between his eyebrows opened up, penetrating the entire world.

This uninhabited area is so vast.

Even a cultivator who had just entered the realm of a leader could not cross this uninhabited area even if he crossed millions of miles and flew for hundreds of lifetimes.

Compared with this, the three thousand states where civilizations flourished were not that vast.

Deep in the no-man's land, at the end of Zhou Cheng's sight, it was all gray.

This is a section of city wall that connects the sky and the earth, occupying all the space. It is everywhere in the sky and on the ground, towering into the outer world, vast and boundless.

The sun and the moon were across the sky, and many big stars were rumbling and floating outside this section of the city wall.

Zhou Cheng's divine eyes were magical. They could see through illusions and the origin. He could tell at a glance that the bricks and stones of the city wall were large stars, which were put together by people and turned into bricks and stones to build such a huge city.

Needless to say, Zhou Cheng also knew what the city wall was.

The Imperial Pass has existed since time immemorial, stretching across the border and suppressing a large area.

“I hope the journey ahead will be smoother.”

Zhou Cheng activated his great magical power of seeing through walls, and was able to stand on the outskirts of the no-man's land and see the Emperor's Pass deep in the no-man's land, but the distance between the two was enough to accommodate countless Eight Realms.

This no-man's land is not for just any cat or dog.

If there is no route to guide, even the supreme being may fall, and may even encounter some strange and ominous things beyond the human level.

Chi!
In the area where Zhou Cheng was, endless light rain rolled back to the sky, and it was as if the flesh and blood of an ancient celestial being had taken root and transformed into a blazing and dazzling glow, so dazzling that even the sun was dimmed, and it flew towards the direction of the Imperial Pass at a high speed.

Zhou Cheng's speed was so fast that fragments of time appeared and the passing of time lingered, disrupting the flow of time.

call out!
The divine light of Yuhua was bright, and when it crossed an uninhabited area, endless ghost fog suddenly spread out. The terrifying fluctuations almost surpassed the level of the leader, and thousands of gods and demons emerged in the ghost fog.

This is an ancient cemetery where countless corpses are buried. After a long time, the corpses have become spiritual and turned this place into a wasteland.

"Qiang!"

The crisp sound of a sword was heard, and a dazzling silver streak bloomed, like a galaxy suddenly appearing, instantly annihilating the entire cemetery.

After killing these psychic monsters, Zhou Cheng's speed exploded to a higher level again, smashing through layer of void, leaving layer of spider-web-like cracks in the air. The huge movement swept across this uninhabited area.

"Ow!"

"Woo!"

"Return..."

The vast ominous land seemed to be completely disturbed by Zhou Cheng, and all kinds of strange creatures revived.

However, when they just woke up, Zhou Cheng had already gone thousands of miles away from here, leaving this group of strange and ominous people to fight each other.

In the towering ancient city in the distance, one ancient being after another was startled.

Such a big commotion coming from inside the pass went unnoticed by anyone.

"We are not taking the ancient road, but crossing the no-man's land. Is there a supreme being who wants to enter the pass? I wonder who it is!"

A golden figure looked into the distance with a look of surprise on his face.

A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and an ancient bow on his back used some kind of pupil-related magic to see the figure through the dazzling fairy light.

"I can't recognize it. I've never seen it before... Maybe the existence in the no-man's land has revived."

The middle-aged man looked a little serious and made a terrible guess.

He is extraordinary, a leader-level figure, not only that, he is also one of the top ten archers in the Imperial Pass, mastering a very powerful bow and arrow invincibility method. The arrows he shoots are so powerful that even the foreign supreme beings dare not take them with their bodies. "I don't know if he is a friend or an enemy..." Another old knight looked a little cautious.

The Imperial Pass lies in the center of the no-man's land. Generally, those buried in the pass are friendly forces, but there are exceptions.

……

Boom!

Time and space were turbulent, and the speed of the escaping light reached an extreme limit, directly tearing the space portal apart. In a moment, it crossed the entire no-man's land and arrived under the Emperor's Pass.

As he approached the Imperial Pass, countless immortal symbols lit up and an almighty majesty swept over him, as if countless supreme figures and immortal beings in the ancient times were looking at Zhou Cheng with boundless majesty in their eyes.

In Emperor Guanzhong, a true supreme being has also revived.

"Who is coming?"

The old voice echoed, and a five-colored avenue of divine light spread from the depths of the imperial city, hanging high in the sky.

On the Avenue of Five-Colored Divine Light, there is an ancient chariot pulled by an ancient beast, on which the figure of a burly old man can be vaguely seen.

This is an old supreme being. When he attained enlightenment, he was feared by the whole world and was invincible. He was the best among the supreme beings and had no rivals.

Later, the old supreme came to Diguan and stayed there forever, never leaving for most of his life.

"The remnant souls of the past come here to kill the enemy."

Zhou Cheng was suspended in the air, looking directly at the old man, releasing his own aura without reservation.

Boom, boom, boom...

A huge vibration sounded from Zhou Cheng's body. It was the sound of a heartbeat, shocking the world like the explosion of stars.

Boundless energy and blood surged, like a bright sun rising from the sky, bursting out with mighty power, shocking hundreds of thousands of states and shocking people's hearts.

Faintly, one can see the shadow of a Kun tree that reaches from sky to earth, appearing behind Zhou Cheng and blending with all the laws of heaven and earth.

Looking at the phantom of Kunmu behind Zhou Cheng, and then looking at Zhou Cheng, the old supreme on the Five Spirits Chariot showed a look of speculation on his face.

It seemed that he had some understanding of Zhou Cheng's origins, and the vast pressure began to dissipate.

"Fellow Daoist, please enter the city!"

A bright beam of light descended and turned into a bone altar in front of Zhou Cheng. It was covered with formations and it was a magical teleportation formation.

Zhou Cheng stepped into this ancient formation without any hesitation.

As time passed, the world changed, and Zhou Cheng's figure went straight into the depths of the Imperial Pass.

The imperial city is huge, with star remains scattered all over the ground. Entering it feels like entering another world.

There is a holy land inside the Imperial Pass, where buildings are clustered together, silver waterfalls hang from the sacred mountains, cranes circle in the sky, and mist rises, making it look like a fairyland.

Among them was a bronze palace that was a thousand feet tall, standing out among the many buildings like a crane among chickens. Zhou Cheng’s figure appeared directly in front of the ancient palace.

"senior!"

"Greetings, senior!"

The great knights guarding the temple bowed and saluted. They were all in human form, but also had features of other races, such as horns and divine wings.

Inside the hall, there was a large bell hanging, and one of the old knights was ringing the ancient bell.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

The divine sound was so mighty that it could be heard thousands of miles away, echoing in the first city on earth.

The bell rang nine times, announcing to the world.

Notify the powerful people from the countless forces in the Imperial Pass that a supreme figure is coming to the Imperial Pass and will reside here permanently, and they should all come and pay their respects.

At the same time, the sound of the bell was also conveying information to several invincible figures living in seclusion at the Emperor Guanzu altar, that there were invincible people guarding this place.

Boom!

The void was torn apart, turning into a door to space, and figures with powerful auras walked out from here. They were all leaders of the sect, and were well-known figures in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Jin Chengyue of the Jin family pays homage to the Supreme!"

"Wang Changhe of the Wang family pays homage to the Supreme!"

"The Lan family..."

"Qi Family..."

"Xu family..."

All the leading figures of the immortal families and eternal Taoist sects in the borderland imperial pass came to pay homage to Zhou Cheng.

The major sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would send or exile some of their family disciples to train or be punished in the major frontiers.

Suddenly, another divine gate emerged, and a slender figure in a gray robe walked out. His beautiful face was shrouded in a hazy mist, and only a pair of shining pupils could be seen.

"It's Lord Yu!"

"This person with double pupils has been in seclusion for half a year and has hardly communicated with anyone. He has reappeared. The Supreme One must have a lot of face."

These people from the immortal families couldn't help but communicate with some good friends.

The person who came was none other than Yu Yun, who had taken the defeated and dying Shi Yi to the upper realm in the Butian Pavilion not long ago.

As a quasi-supreme being who possesses the secret of the great double pupils, Yu Yun's status in the Imperial Pass is no weaker than that of several ancient people living in seclusion in the ancestral altar.

"I didn't expect that fellow Taoist also came to Diguan." Zhou Cheng's eyes fell on Yu Yun.

Yu Yun sighed, somewhat lamentingly: "The Yu family is gone, the master no longer exists, so I came to this desolate place so as not to arouse the fear of others."

"Brother, I think you came here to gain experience, right?" Yu Yun looked at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng was also a quasi-supreme being like Yu Yun, but he later walked his own path and is now considered a person at the pinnacle of humanity.

At this moment, in the depths of the Imperial Pass, an old figure emerged from the ancestral altar.

Then he saw countless array patterns interweaving and transforming into a road, falling in front of Zhou Cheng.

"Please ask Lord Yu to bring this fellow Taoist to the ancestral altar for a chat."

An old voice sounded, but it was not the voice of the old supreme being on the five-colored chariot that Zhou Cheng had just seen.

Zhou Cheng's gaze fell towards the direction of the ancestral altar, and he could see several figures shrouded in chaotic energy. These were their projections of Dharma images, and they nodded to Zhou Cheng in a friendly manner.

Ancestral altar, also known as ancestral altar.

This place is full of broken walls and ancient stone carvings, which are buried with remnants of history, many of which were left over from the wars of the last era.

It is located in the center of Diguan and is the most sacred place.

Here are the remains of our ancestors, inscriptions on immortal monuments, and eternal sacrificial sites.

This was the place where the Willow God was worshipped in the past. The scene of the kings worshipping their ancestors and spirits together and intimidating foreign kings would occasionally appear in this sacred place.

In addition, there are some stone chambers for retreat, where some old supreme beings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths now sit in retreat and guard the border.

hum!
The void rippled, and the figures of Zhou Cheng and Yu Yun emerged, appearing directly at the edge of the core area of ​​the ancestral altar.

There is a ruined palace here with chaotic air flowing inside, making everything blurry and difficult to see clearly.

Faintly, one could see several very ancient figures sitting cross-legged, motionless. Although their aura was restrained, like fossils, they exuded an aura of supreme power that was enough to make countless cult leaders unable to help but bow down in worship.

Among them, a figure slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Cheng, and then said politely: "Although the two Taoist friends are not enlightened, they are not inferior to enlightened ones. Please take a seat."

As he spoke, the flowing chaotic mist dissipated, and two cushions emerged.

Obviously, the old supreme being could see that Zhou Cheng had not yet experienced the torture of heaven and earth, and was not truly enlightened. It was just that his body, soul, and magic power were all terribly powerful, which could be called an alternative kind of enlightenment.
