The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 250 Resurrecting Chang'e?

All things in the vast world return to the One Dao Palace.

All the powerful beings had completely departed, leaving only two figures remaining in the hall, sitting opposite each other.

One was a tall man dressed in straw sandals and cloth clothes, like a woodcutter. The other was the real Lei Zhan, dressed in a black robe.

After they had finalized all the details and given the initial teachings, the powerful beings left.

It was at this moment that the eldest brother, Hou Yi, stayed behind and spoke frankly, wanting to get some information about the inner world of the earth from him.

"Senior Brother, are you also going to that inner world?"

Lei Zhan looked at Hou Yi and said in a deep voice, "That place may hold great opportunities, but if you can't pass the test, it will be very difficult to get out. And Senior Brother doesn't have a clone or a second primordial spirit..."

"Hmm. I'd like to try."

Hou Yi nodded and smiled, “With my junior brother and Tathagata in the Three Realms, as well as Suiren, the Three Pure Ones, Shennong, Fengmo and other great beings who can rival the peak and top ancestral gods, even without an avatar left in the Three Realms, losing one of me is no big deal.”

"But now that I know there are opportunities left behind by ancient powerful beings in the chaos beyond the Three Realms... I don't want to let this opportunity slip by."

The ascension of Buddha Tathagata was witnessed by all the great beings in the Three Realms, and Hou Yi was well aware of the various reasons behind it.

It should be noted that the Buddha's original strength was barely comparable to that of the Ancestral Gods, yet such a tremendous change occurred in just a few thousand years...

Not only did Tathagata directly break through to become an ancestral god, but the methods, secret techniques, and supernatural powers he displayed were also extraordinary. It can be said that none of the great beings who had witnessed them were not tempted!

Hou Yi, too, saw the possibility of taking his own path to further advancement.

Although Lei Zhan left the "Desolate World God" and the supernatural power "Nine Yuan Annihilation" in the Guiyi Palace, relying solely on these is far from enough to improve his strength and continue to grow!

"Besides..." Hou Yi's gaze wandered, and after a pause, he slowly said, "Chang'e was completely enslaved, and when she died in front of me, her soul and spirit were completely dissipated... Therefore, I want to find a way to resurrect her!"

"Resurrect Chang'e?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, but his gaze fell on Hou Yi, who was lost in his memories, and he fell silent for a moment.

The mind caused the second primordial spirit to die, so as not to be noticed by them. However, at the first moment, it caused the enslaved powerful beings to dissipate on their own, even their souls and true spirits completely dissipated.

This dissipation is completely irreversible, and not even a single fragment of true spirit remains in this chaotic world of the Three Realms!
"Senior Brother's obsession..." Lei Zhan thought helplessly, "Chang'e's soul and true spirit have completely dissipated, and the Three Realms are extremely special. That fragment of true spirit has probably been completely recycled by the entire Chaos Universe."

"Chang'e herself is a cultivator at the True Immortal level. To resurrect her would be no less difficult than resurrecting a ruler, something even a Supreme Being cannot do."

Lei Zhan hesitated for a long time, but when he saw his senior brother's appearance, he couldn't bear to tell him this information.

After all, this news is something that even a Dao Lord on the verge of merging with the Dao might not know unless they specifically seek it out. Moreover, for it to come from the mouth of an Ancestral Immortal, the source of the news is completely inexplicable!
"Sigh..." Lei Zhan sighed inwardly, "Senior Brother has this goal, and his obsession can be considered a driving force for cultivation. Perhaps, with Senior Brother's monstrous talent, he can go even further because of it."

In this life, there was no major battle between the two factions. Bound by his life oath, and with Bu Xiu already killed by him, the Lord of the Heart Demon, deep within the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms, found it difficult to stir up any waves.

The old man who was about to be possessed by the mind was also killed in advance by the group of powerful beings he led, which can be said to have completely changed the fate of many powerful beings.

At least, the fact that such extraordinary and talented beings as the Three Pure Ones, Buddha, Hou Yi, and Suirenshi did not die in the great war gives them more possibilities in the future.

At this moment, the entire hall was silent.

long silence.

Hou Yi looked at Lei Zhan and said, "I know it's very difficult to revive Chang'e. Chang'e's last bit of true spirit shattered and dissipated completely with the death of that chaotic alien race..."

“But I’m not reconciled… In ancient times, we were separated because of that chaotic alien race, but now all the knots in our hearts have been completely untied.”

Looking at the silent Lei Zhan, Hou Yi shook his head and smiled, "The path of cultivation is long, and one must always move forward for something. The endless chaos beyond the Three Realms is vast and boundless. As long as I continue to grow stronger, one day I will find a way to revive Chang'e!"

“This…” Lei Zhan smiled.

The path of spiritual practice is long and indeed it is.

Without some obsession, life would indeed be too boring.

"Then I wish my senior brother all the best in realizing his dream soon!"

"Thank you for your kind words." Hou Yi nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"The inner world..." Lei Zhan said, "My second primordial spirit avatar left in the Three Realms will also go there. If you want to go, Senior Brother, you can go with me."

Lei Zhan's main body and second primordial spirit both cultivated the technique of creating clones, which was never a secret in the Three Realms. Hou Yi was also a very close senior brother, so Lei Zhan didn't bother to hide it.

"Junior Brother, your second primordial spirit avatar is going? Could it be... because of the third level of the 'Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu'?" Hou Yi was taken aback, then asked curiously.

He had also read the "Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons" method since it was first presented by Lei Zhan.

The fact that the inner world is easy to enter but difficult to leave makes it extremely suitable if there are only one or two clones inside, unless absolutely necessary.

The only explanation for Lei Zhan's act of bringing all his clones into the Earth's core world is his cultivation of the "Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu".

“That’s right!” Lei Zhan was not surprised. “I couldn’t hide it from my senior brother. The reason why my second primordial spirit has not broken through for so long is that the cost required to cultivate the Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons to perfection at the True God and True Immortal level is a thousand times or a hundred times less than that required for Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal levels.”

"Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Demons..." Hou Yi shook his head helplessly, thinking about the price required to cultivate this method at the level of an ancestral god.

Just to cultivate this method to the second level, he would need ten thousand bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid, a full ten cubic meters!
However, while the cost is high, the boost to strength is equally significant.

If he were to cultivate the "One True One" recorded in the Guiyi Dao Palace, it would likely grant him strength surpassing that of a peak Ancestral God, and he might even be able to reach the threshold of a World God.

“Our eldest brother is going to the inner world, so maybe there will be an opportunity,” Lei Zhan suggested.

However, the merit points required to exchange for 10,000 bottles of Chaos Elixir are indeed too many.

However, due to his vow, Lei Zhan was unable to reveal any further information.

Hou Yi shook his head and smiled, then asked curiously, "When do we plan to set off for the Endless Ice Sea?"

"Let's set off in half a month!" Lei Zhan thought for a moment and then said.

Half a month later, when they arrived at the Endless Ice Sea, the once-in-a-millennium Nine Profound Cold Wind Tide was expected to arrive soon.

The biting wind was the only way to truly enter the Earth's core.

……

The enormous, icy blue vortex world emitted a faint glow, illuminating the endless chaos around it.

Wow.

A deep blue flying boat pierced through the chaos, passing through a howling gale, while the chilling air that seemed capable of freezing one's soul was completely shut out of the flying boat.

"The Frozen Sea, is this the work left behind by that ancient and powerful being? It's truly terrifying, beautiful yet deadly."

Hou Yi sat cross-legged inside the flying boat, gazing through it at the icy blue world outside, and sighed:
"If it weren't for a stroke of luck, who would have discovered that this seemingly endless chaos, perilous place, actually conceals the relics left behind by an ancient and powerful being?"

“Indeed.” Lei Zhan steered the Flying Trench Divine Wooden Boat through terrifying gusts of cold wind that could easily destroy innate spiritual treasures, his face full of sighs.

There are too many dangerous and deadly places in the chaos beyond the Three Realms! It's far too perilous!

Some of them are even powerful beings at the level of the Dao Lord of Life and Death, and they can die and perish if they are not careful.

Such danger meant that naturally no one dared to explore or take the risk.

The subterranean world hidden in the endless icy sea is too mysterious!

If they hadn't been chased by those snow beasts and encountered the terrifying gale that only comes around once every thousand years, they probably would have left immediately after finding enough Ice Heart Essence, and wouldn't have had the chance to enter the Earth's core world.

The Flying Trench Divine Wooden Boat, a top-grade Chaos Treasure, is extremely fast and completely unafraid of the howling winds and various dangers outside.

One could even say that Lei Zhan has some expectations for the Nine Mysterious Cold Winds that will appear soon.

"Big brother."

Lei Zhan turned to Hou Yi and said, "The only way to enter the Earth's core is to be swept into an underground ice cave deep in the icy sea by the once-in-a-millennium Nine-Mysterious Cold Wind. We can also use the wind to enter the Earth's core directly."

"but……"

"Hmm?" Hou Yi looked over.

"Judging from the time, we estimate that we will have to wait for another ten days or so on this endless icy sea."

Lei Zhan gazed at the distant icy sea, "But the timing is uncertain. It might be earlier, or it might be delayed by a few days."

Although the Nine-Headed Cold Wind occurs once every thousand years, it's impossible to pinpoint the exact day.

It might come earlier or later, but each time the Nine-Headed Cold Wind howls, it will only last for two or three days at most.

Therefore, if Lei Zhan and Hou Yi wanted to travel to the Earth's core, they had no choice but to arrive here earlier. Otherwise, if they missed it, they would have to wait another thousand years.

"Okay." Hou Yi nodded.

At this level, a single period of seclusion can last for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and ten days or half a month is nothing to them.

……

The Three Realms.

Inside a huge palace.

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by three thousand six hundred golden beads of celestial stars that seemed to float like a sky full of stars.

As the ancestral immortal's magical power was poured in, the three thousand six hundred golden beads of the heavenly stars began to light up, and the divine patterns on their surfaces kept changing.

A mystical aura emerged from the void and converged on each of the Celestial Star Golden Pearls, giving them an air of profound mystery.

"The ninth layer of the Ninefold Chaos Restriction is truly difficult to comprehend." Lei Zhan looked at the star-gold beads around him that were radiating powerful auras, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

After that encounter with the Mind God General amidst chaos, the subsequent five hundred years of peace allowed him to make significant progress.

Reflections on chaos...

A sense of time and space...

Reflections on water and fire...

Reflections on guns...

An understanding of cause and effect...

Even after Lei Zhan comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire and broke through to the Ancestral Immortal realm, he also comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Water in the past five hundred years, and his strength has improved somewhat.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of creating a vast world deep within the space-time of the Three Realms.

"I've already figured out the eighth of these nine chaotic restrictions long ago, but I always feel like something's missing from the ninth one, which is why I haven't been able to fully comprehend it..." Lei Zhan pondered to himself.

"However, the first eight of these nine chaotic restrictions are all accumulations, and only by fully comprehending the ninth one can one achieve a qualitative change and directly give birth to the blue-and-white mist."

The thought that the nine layers of restrictions would perfectly merge into one, eventually forming a blue-and-white porcelain pattern in the sea of ​​consciousness filled Lei Zhan with great anticipation.

"If I were to possess the Azure Mist, I reckon I wouldn't even need to combine my eighteen clones into one to gain some benefits from the Heavenly Heart Exquisite Ring left behind by Daoist Ruosang!"

Lei Zhan has had many opportunities and many treasures waiting to be discovered. The World Prison, which once provided him with great help, has been completely looted and is of no use to him anymore.

What remains are the nine layers of chaotic restrictions on the Heavenly Star Golden Pearl, and the Heavenly Heart Exquisite Ring, which involves the inheritance of a top Dao Lord.

It can be said that both of these treasures involve an extraordinary opportunity.

One of them involves the inheritance of a Heaven-Defying Dao Lord capable of slaying dozens of Eternal Emperors.

One of them could even involve a supreme being standing at the pinnacle of cultivator civilization!

So, in addition to comprehending the Dao, Lei Zhan also did not forget to develop these two treasures.

However, in the five hundred years since he broke through to the Ancestral Immortal realm, he has also entered the inner space of the Heavenly Heart Exquisite Ring quite a few times.

That towering building, resembling an altar, has a total of 13,500 floors, but so far, the progress in breaking through the barrier has only reached the 83rd floor.

Even the closest benefit requires cracking the code up to the 135th level, which is still far from enough.

suddenly.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan put away the Heavenly Star Golden Pearl that was floating in the air, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"My second primordial spirit and my senior brother have already arrived at the Endless Ice Sea? We only need to wait for ten days or so to enter the Earth's core? I can't wait!"

While the main body is unable to obtain the treasure needed to fully master the "Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu" while remaining in the Three Realms, the second primordial spirit is about to fulfill this condition.

All that's needed is for all clones to go to the inner world of the earth, and they can begin cultivating immediately.

It should be noted that although Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit did not break through to the Ancestral Immortal level, he had already used up his remaining chance to venture into the Demon Subduing Palace during the three thousand years he spent comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

That time, I earned nearly 30,000 merit points, which was more than enough to exchange for some treasures for cultivating the "Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu".

"Everything is ready..."

Lei Zhan said softly, "And the merging of all my clones will also enhance my soul, spirit, and divine soul in all aspects, which will also be of great benefit to my enlightenment!"
