The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 258 The Heavenly Blade is Given to Chu Feng, and a Celestial God is Raised in Captivity
Although Shao Hua didn't say a word, that fleeting, indifferent glance was enough to send chills down the spines of all the bystanders near the solar system.

Everyone fell silent, a chill rising from their bones to their very core!

Those who reflected the heavens were somewhat better off, but the saints fared much worse. The other beings couldn't withstand the manifestation of their true forms, trembling all over, looking weak, innocent, and pitiful.
"There's no doubt about it. That being must be a god-level being who surpasses all the heavens, otherwise we wouldn't have been intimidated by a single glance!"

Someone spoke up, seemingly to save face, but most of the others, who were at the level of those who reflected the heavens, already believed it. After eliminating all the impossible answers, the one that remained, no matter how impossible, could only be the only correct explanation.

Moreover, the fact that these words came from a powerful member of the Sub-Immortal Clan, which is among the top ten clans alongside the Celestial Clan, adds to their credibility.

On this day, the universe was in an uproar, and a massive earthquake, the most sensational of all, occurred in the vast sea of ​​stars!
As long as it's not some remote, desolate planet, but any inhabited place that can connect to interstellar networks, almost everyone is speculating and discussing related topics.

Throughout history, the strongest beings in the universe have only ever reflected the heavens. There has never been a being that truly surpasses this realm. The so-called god-level beings only exist in legends and fantasies, and many rumors have been proven false one by one.

"Did a god really come into being? Where did he come from? Logically speaking, the most likely candidate is Earth, since that being seems to be standing up for Earth."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could a true god appear in such a remote place? He is definitely not an evolved being from Earth; there must be another reason!"

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Everyone says that the top ten races in the universe have never changed. Will they still be able to sit still now? They will definitely have to test and confirm it."

Who would have thought that the world's first god was not born among the top ten, but rather came from a remote and desolate place.

Some people then thought of something else: although many giants had suffered heavy losses on Earth that day, the Celestial Race was undoubtedly the most severely affected.

All three top-tier experts perished there, leaving behind even their clan's ultimate weapon. Does the Celestial God Clan still have any experts of the level that can reflect the heavens?

Many large and small forces, as well as some interstellar pirates and rogue cultivators, were tempted to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the spoils.

At this time, the top ten races in the universe—or more precisely, the nine races excluding the Celestial Race—acted contrary to their usual behavior, with their powerful members either breaking out of seclusion or being urgently recalled.

The clan's protective formation was fully activated, and at the same time, an ancestor of the Heaven-Reflecting Realm level was guarding the ancestral star with an ultimate weapon. Anyone who didn't know better would think that they were the ones who had been crippled.

Although they also covet the legacy of the Celestials, their priority now is to safeguard their own ancestral property and remain steadfast in the face of change.

With the example of the Celestial Race right before our eyes, what if we go out and cause trouble again, and attract that unknown, seemingly god-level supreme being?
With a single finger, he crushed the Spirit Ancestor to death, and with a backhand slap, he wiped out three powerful beings at the Reflection of the Heavens level. Then, as if catching a fish, he casually grabbed the Celestial Race giant carrying the ultimate weapon.

Who wouldn't break out in a cold sweat after seeing this?
"Foolish! Blinded by greed, they don't even consider who dealt with the Celestial Race's Heavenly Illumination level powerhouse. They may have the life to seize resources, but in the end, they won't have the fortune to enjoy them!"

"We should keep our mountain gates closed and observe the situation quietly. We shouldn't covet the Celestial Race's possessions, lest we inadvertently get ourselves involved. At the same time, we should keep a close eye on the developments on Earth!"

"Fortunately, my sect did not participate in that war in ancient times and has not made enemies with Earth. Before the situation is clear, there is no rush to send envoys. Instead, we contact the forces that sent our disciples to Earth for training and ask them to send their people to investigate."

At this time, many forces also realized that the most important thing now was not to take advantage of the Celestials, but to find out what exactly happened on Earth.

Saints from all races spared no expense in contacting their own divine sons and daughters who had already traveled to Earth or were still in the folded space behind the famous mountain, in order to learn about the current situation on Earth.

"Are you saying that two powerful beings at the level of reflecting all the heavens have returned to Earth?"

"Not only does it reflect the heavens, but it also seems to be a being at the god level? Shall we go and investigate?!"

"."

When the group of divine sons and daughters learned of the situation, they were all quite upset.

How much does this person think of themselves?
They're not stupid. The strange phenomena on Earth before were astonishing, with towering demonic shadows and golden roads appearing. However, the battles all took place outside the solar system, and given the vast difference in their cultivation levels, they didn't know what had actually happened.

Now that their own sage ancestor has revealed the truth and entrusted them with important responsibilities, they have all become obedient and dare not act recklessly on Earth anymore.

As they reflected on their actions on Earth during that time, some breathed a sigh of relief, while others grew apprehensive and uneasy.

Saints of all races and religions are also helpless. No one dares to go to Earth now. If they are seen as provoking others, they will die without even knowing how. At most, they can only take a glimpse from afar outside the solar system, and they feel like they might explode at any moment.

Those powerful beings at the Heavenly Realm level would dare not act rashly.

"sulfuric acid!"

A gleaming celestial blade cleaved through the solar storm, bursting forth from the blazing sun, whipping up countless layers of blade light, before falling to Earth.

A dazzling light flashed, and the Heavenly Blade's brilliance subsided as it fell into Shao Hua's hands.

As if remembering something, her eyes flickered slightly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. She reached out and touched the blade, and the Heavenly Blade instantly radiated five-colored divine light.

That's right, now it looks even more like the sword that the phoenix used back then.

"For me?" Chu Feng was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected to receive such a benefit despite being a bystander the whole time. As expected of his sister, she was truly gentle, kind, and generous. Without being polite, he happily accepted it.

"I have reforged this sword, but it is currently only a rough draft. You need to nurture its spiritual essence anew," Shao Hua said to him.

She noticed that the young man had a somewhat sleazy air about him and didn't seem like a respectable person, so she specially reforged the sword to resemble the Undying Heavenly Sword of yesteryear.

Chu Feng nodded vigorously. Even if he were given the original Heavenly God Blade, he wouldn't dare to use it. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it's meaningless if you can't use it yourself.

“Weapons forged entirely from mother metal are extremely rare, with only a handful in the entire universe. Even powerful beings at the level of reflecting the heavens would go crazy for them,” Yao Yao commented.

Chu Feng was overjoyed to have obtained the treasured sword. He took out the mother gold chain he had picked up from the ground earlier, intending to return it to Yao Yao's grandfather.

The latter took the "instrument of torture" that had bound him for half his life, and then threw it back. Helpless, Chu Feng could only look at Yao Yao again.

Yao Yao couldn't possibly accept the object stained with her grandfather's blood, so she shook her head and told him to take it and play with it.

Shao Hua wouldn't care about such things at all. With a wave of her hand, she led the group back to Kunlun Mountain.

At the same time, the Holy Master also went deep into the universe to bring back a few of his old friends from Earth.

"After wandering since ancient times, we can finally go home!" The sage Changming was moved to tears.

Come back home!

It should have been a day of immense joy, yet he was weeping uncontrollably. What good would it do to return to Earth? His loved ones were all buried in ancient times; was that still his true homeland?

“We are all remnants of souls that drifted from ancient times. Now that our obsessions have been removed, we only wish to take one last look at our homeland. Returning to our roots is a fitting way to die,” another old man with a missing arm said, his voice trembling as he looked at the earth.

This is a near-saint. Together with the saint Chang Ming and the saint master Yi Chen, these three are the only ancient Earth powerhouses still alive outside.

"Don't talk nonsense. We will find a way to heal your injuries when we get back. We want to make Earth rise again. We still have a great grudge to avenge, and Yao Yao is still alive. We want to help her be resurrected and regain her former glory. How can we talk about life and death so lightly?" the Holy Master said.

"Yao Yao!" The other two couldn't help but think of that stunning junior from ancient times, undoubtedly the number one under the starry sky, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

If it weren't for that ancient calamity, she would probably have already reached the level of reflecting all the heavens and become the strongest person in the world, with no one being her match!

Kunlun Mountain, Niuwang Palace.

Here, the mountains are majestic, clear springs gurgle, and some trees have leaves that are so green they are translucent, with bright red fruits hanging on them, emitting a fragrant aroma.

With Shaohua and Chufeng back, they naturally want to see Huangniu and Daheiniu.

"Ah, no wonder I heard magpies calling on the branches this morning, it turns out it's you, fairy, who has returned!" The big black ox shouted and rushed out.

The magpie king, who happened to be a guest in the bull king's palace, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Fairy sister!" The yellow ox also ran over, enthusiastic and excited. It was no longer as shy as before. It transformed into human form, and even though it was small, it was still very cute.

Of course, both cows subconsciously ignored Chu Feng standing to the side.

Sorry, we're really not that close!
"I don't have much to give you. I just casually caught a golden arowana in the sea. You can keep it for now and eat it later. It's very nutritious."

Shao Hua threw out a strange golden fish that resembled both a fish and a dragon. It was the giant of the Celestial Clan who had rushed over to deliver himself to the death.

"I am a god, I am the reflection of all heavens, not some golden dragonfish."

Seeing that the fish still dared to jump around, Chu Feng immediately pulled out his large cleaver and slashed it at the golden dragon fish's head.

The Celestial Race leader stared wide-eyed, his entire body's power was sealed, leaving him powerless to resist, and his mind was somewhat muddled.

Most importantly, even though its appearance and color had changed, it still recognized the long sword in Chu Feng's hand and was so angry that it rolled its eyes.

"A dragon stranded in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp, a tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs." Yao Yao sighed, continuing her sharp commentary, inadvertently also cursing Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn't care, because it was indeed a fact, so he slashed at it a few more times with the knife.

One was a powerful being at the level of reflecting all the heavens, while the other was merely a minor evolved being who had broken free of his shackles. There was a difference of seven or eight realms between them, which could not be an exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart.

"Brother Chu, what exactly is going on? Tell us about it." The big black ox hurriedly pulled Chu Feng and asked, while the yellow ox also pricked up its ears.

Chu Feng didn't hide anything and briefly recounted what had happened.

The yellow ox and the big black ox were shocked and couldn't help but gasp.

“Illuminating all the heavens.” The yellow ox felt dizzy and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He could only dream of becoming a saint or an ancestor, but now he was being told that a powerful being who shone through the heavens was lying paralyzed in front of him like a dead fish.

Is this...is this appropriate?!
"I'll go dig a pond to raise fish right now!" The big black ox had no concept of what "reflecting the heavens" meant, but ignorance is bliss, and he immediately prepared to start digging on the spot.

Before long, a pond was dug out and filled with clear spring water, leaving the powerless Celestial Clan giants to become fish in the pond.

"You have all recovered your cultivation levels, but breaking twelve shackles is not enough. If you cannot remove all shackles, how can you talk about being carefree?"

Times have changed. Having awakened most of her memories, Shaohua saw through the evolutionary path of pollen and the various problems of future generations of beings at a glance.

Putting aside everything else, in this imperfect world, almost everyone can be considered an alternative "prisoner," with their potential trapped by all sorts of shackles.

Only a very small number of people are born different, like the toad Ouyang Feng. As a divine beast, he has no shackles in his body and does not need to break them. He only needs to accumulate power.

"To be invincible under the starry sky, one must break through all shackles!" Yao Yao said.

The beast kings, including the Yellow Ox, were all frowning. They could only break through twelve shackles at most. They had originally planned to explore Kunlun Mountain in a few days to search for pollen to break through to the Free and Unfettered Realm.

"I don't aspire to be invincible under the stars, but breaking free from some shackles should be more beneficial for the future, right?"

"A beast must have ambition. Even if it cannot be invincible under the starry sky, it must become a saint and an ancestor. I, the Golden Crow, will surely break all shackles!"

The Kunlun Beast Kings did not doubt the words of the incredibly beautiful woman standing next to Shaohua; their main principle was trust.

"For you, it is indeed very difficult to completely break free from all shackles under normal circumstances. You need to understand where each shackle is and be tempered by time."

However, you are fortunate to have caught a good time now. The home planet is recovering, and time cannot stand in the way. One year of cultivation here is equivalent to ten years or even more elsewhere.

"In addition, the simplest way is to be baptized with holy medicine, which will break the shackles on the whole body very thoroughly, without having to do it one by one. Of course, the premise is that you can endure the process and not die!" Yao Yao said with a smile on her face.

"I can hold on!" the scalper said firmly.

They had previously obtained the remaining sacred medicines, such as peaches of immortality, ginseng fruit, and vermilion fruit, from the Fengshan site, which were now being used in this way.

“However, the sacred medicine is limited, and I’m afraid it won’t be enough for all of us,” the big black ox sighed.

"It's alright. Don't forget this is Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West is here. We can even get the fruit from the ancestral root of the peaches of immortality. It's not a big problem!" Chu Feng pointed to Shaohua, full of confidence.

Yao Yao's expression was somewhat strange, her beautiful eyes flickering as she wondered if her adoptive grandmaster was really the legendary Queen Mother of the West.
"I am indeed the Queen Mother of the West." Shao Hua rolled her eyes at her little grand-disciple, reiterating one last time, then looked at the Kunlun Beast Kings and smiled faintly:

"However, you will have to fetch the sacred and divine medicines from the Land of the Gods yourselves. I will guide you on the way, my little ones, don't let me down."
