Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 156 Reflection
Time slips away unnoticed, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

The strength of the beings in this realm has greatly improved, and the number of Emperor Light Immortal Kings has increased by dozens.

"The upcoming battle will be extremely fierce. Those who withdraw may remain in this realm."

Only a handful of Emperor Light Immortal Kings withdrew from the scene, making it extremely difficult to reach this point.

Li Xuan did not force them, letting them choose for themselves.

In the blink of an eye, everything was ready.

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Light Immortal King and Quasi-Immortal Emperor arrived at the Ultimate Ancient Land.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not going to follow the cycle of reincarnation?" Quasi-Immortal Emperor Tianyan asked.

The sea of ​​sacrifice is filled with chaotic power; even a quasi-immortal emperor would have to pay a considerable price to be in it.

Emperor Hong and his companions crossed over to this realm without going through the sea sacrifice, and instead traveled the cycle of reincarnation to reach this realm.

The cycle of reincarnation is risky, but it is much safer than the sea sacrifice.

Very few creatures truly possess the ability to cross the sea sacrifice; there are hardly any in ancient history.

Li Xuan focused his mind, considering the cause and effect involved.

With his current strength, he should have no major surprises in going to the cycle of reincarnation and conquering all the worlds.

After a long silence, Li Xuan made up his mind.

“Let’s go to the sea sacrifice,” Li Xuan said.

This is confidence in one's own strength, unmatched throughout history.

After making up his mind, he absorbed everyone present into his body.

They leaped into the large hole in the air and landed once again on an island reef.

With a single thought, the Immortal Emperor could traverse the ages; even from a great distance, he could still see a vast world.

It is isolated from all the heavens, high above, transcending all worlds, and eternally indestructible.

Countless beings spend their entire lives trying to reach that realm, but they can never do so.

With a thought, a golden road unfolded, leading to the depths of the sacrificial sea.

Such a flamboyant scene naturally attracted the attention of many ancient creatures in the sea, who all turned their gazes toward it.

"This is the Emperor!"

"Go back!"

They tried their best to erase any trace of themselves to avoid attracting the other party's attention.

Even a single glance from a Celestial Emperor could have a terrifying impact that they could not withstand.

The golden road sped swiftly, heading towards the heavens.

The Celestial Emperor's aura surged, causing countless living beings to avoid him.

Above all, everything was laid bare in his gaze.

That realm transcends all other realms and naturally receives strange "care".

The battles they encountered were so brutal and terrifying.

This has led to the current tragic situation.

He departed from all the heavens and ages, time and space were overturned, and the years flowed beneath his feet, transcending everything in the world.

The heavens above truly deserve to be called a place of transcendence; from afar, a dense imperial light envelops the vast world.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any major problem. But in the eyes of a Celestial Emperor-level being, it is already a scene of devastation.

With one step, his figure appeared near the heavens.

At this moment, two Immortal Emperor auras surged forth from within, no less powerful than his.

She was voluptuous, extremely aloof, and possessed a beauty that surpassed all others, her allure beyond description.

The other person was imposing, exuding an aura of dominance, like an emperor looking down upon all the heavens and the myriad worlds.

Unsurprisingly, they were supreme beings who had reached the end of the path of evolution.

……

"Luo Tianxian!"

"Menghai!"

The two men did not underestimate him at all, and attached great importance to this newcomer.

Li Xuan also revealed his sect name and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Both of them had extraordinary origins; their ability to survive the massive battle between immortal emperors meant they were exceptional individuals.

"Fellow Daoist, please!" Luo Tianxian said.

In an instant, a golden path appeared, leading to the heavens.

Before long, the three of them arrived at Luo Tianxian's dojo.

The gathering of three beings at the pinnacle of existence caused an extraordinary phenomenon that spanned countless realms.

"Fellow Daoist's appearance is indeed extraordinary!"

He had caught a glimpse of the battle on the other side of the boundary sea, and Luo Tianxian had to admit how strong the opponent was.

"Why hasn't the other emperor come?" Meng Hai inquired.

Li Xuan did not hide anything and recounted what had happened in the past.

Disappointment flashed in their eyes, and they did not dwell on the topic any further.

"Fellow Daoist, you have such strength at the very beginning of your journey, it is truly extraordinary. Perhaps you have a chance to reach that realm," Meng Hai remarked.

For beings at the Immortal Emperor level, several epochs pass in the blink of an eye. Facing beings like them who have stood in the Immortal Emperor realm for countless epochs, Li Xuan is no different from a newcomer.

"I don't have much of a clue about that level," Li Xuan said, shaking his head.

The realm of ritual is far too profound; since the birth of heaven and earth, very few living beings have truly stepped into that realm.

"I never imagined that the heavens above had shattered to such an extent."

Looking up at the sky, most of the area has been turned into a wasteland, never to regain its former prosperity.

“That battle back then was too terrifying. More than 80% of the living beings perished, and the fate of those at the end of the road was even more tragic. Only we are truly left behind,” Luo Tianxian said.

In fact, if her sister hadn't entered the realm of sacrificial arts, the situation in their world would have been even more dire.

"Fellow Daoist, you arrived a bit late. If you had been there to oversee things, the situation in this realm would have been much better," Meng Hai said regretfully.

The power of beings at the end of the road is terrifying; each one carries significant weight and has a huge impact on the situation.

Unfortunately, what's done is done and cannot be changed.

"The mysterious race is a very deep place; what we have shown so far is just the tip of the iceberg."

"The secrets hidden in their ancestral land are far beyond imagination and no one knows them."

"If you wish to go to the strange plateau, you should consider this carefully."

Luo Tianxian slowly recounted her story, finally revealing her purpose: "Fellow Daoist, the situation ahead is extremely brutal; only by joining forces can we have a glimmer of hope."

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to sit with us above the heavens and reenact the past, to revive the past emperors?"

After the great war ended, they have been trying to recreate the past and bring back the creatures that had disappeared to the present.

It stirs up waves in the long river of time, reflecting the world since ancient times.

The principles of cause and effect involved here are extremely profound and have a far-reaching impact.

The slightest mistake could lead to death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.

Only beings at the very end of the road have the resources to dare to attempt this.

"Thank you for your kindness, fairy, but I have my own plans," Li Xuan replied.

The terrifying consequences left by the great battle above the heavens make their path of acting extremely difficult.

The Desolate Emperor illuminated all the heavens and myriad realms, but paid a heavy price.

Moreover, this will definitely involve beings at the end of the road, making the difficulties even greater.

Neither of them was surprised by Li Xuan's refusal.

The price to pay for welcoming back several beings from the brink of death was too high.

They have a common enemy, but ultimately there are still differences in their relationships.

Li Xuan rejected their proposal, but their attitude towards him did not change much.

The terror of beings at the end of the road is not just empty talk; they truly have the power to change many things.

No one can force them to do what they are unwilling to do. For a long time afterward, the three of them discussed their doctrines here, verifying their own paths.

The three discussed many secrets, mostly about reflection.

Reflection—this is a heaven-defying feat that only the realm of Immortal Emperors can accomplish.

Every person who achieves the status of an Immortal Emperor has a unique path of evolution, an unrepeatable myth.

During this process, the three had many discussions about reflection.

The so-called reflection is inseparable from one thing: thought.

As the saying goes, what you keep in mind will eventually come to pass.

The two have progressed far beyond what he, a mere novice in the realm of the Emperor, could ever hope to achieve.

This involves the most fundamental cause and effect, and thoughts; it is far more complex than people think.

Such a large-scale reflection would weaken even beings at the end of the road.

“Fellow Daoists, it seems you’ve overlooked a crucial point: the supernatural won’t give you that chance,” Li Xuan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in the eyes of Luo Tianxian and the other person.

The two conducted an initial deduction along this direction.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to their senses.

At this moment, they seemed to have lost all their strength; their previous confidence vanished, replaced by endless despondency.

"You're blinded by a leaf!" Meng Hai exclaimed.

"The obsession with recreating the heavens has blinded us to too many things, causing us to overlook the most crucial elements," Luo Tianxian sighed regretfully.

The reflection of the world would trigger unimaginable calamities, and the supernatural had long been eyeing them covetously, and would never give up this enormous opportunity.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" Luo Tianxian said gratefully.

If they continue to act willfully, the resulting catastrophe will be unimaginable.

With a thought, Meng Hai erased all their previous preparations for reflecting the myriad worlds.

As long as the strangeness is not eliminated, they will no longer discuss reflecting upon the world.

"Fellow Daoist, we will be leaving for a while and cannot continue to accompany you," Luo Tianxian said.

Previously, divine sense probed and found several hidden Immortal Emperor Dao traces emitting strange auras.

It was precisely because of the subtle influence of these Immortal Emperor Dao Marks that their obsession overwhelmed their reason.

After the two left, Li Xuan set up a training ground and released the kings from the Boundary Sea.

"How vast!" exclaimed the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor.

These quasi-immortal emperors knew the great name of this realm, but due to their own limitations, they were unable to set foot there.

Now that I've truly stepped into this world, I understand the gap between us.

Afterwards, Li Xuan informed everyone about the situation in this realm.

"The situation in this realm is relatively stable at the moment, and training here will be very beneficial for personal improvement."

Shortly after everyone left, Luo Tianxian and her companion arrived at Li Xuan's dojo.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive us for not being able to offer anything of equal value as thanks."

"If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely lend a hand," Luo Tianxian said.

Menghai, standing nearby, also left a promise.

They then shared their insights on the method of reflection.

This is the only decent thing they can offer right now.

……

Li Xuan comprehended the Dao traces within and gained much from it.

He has only been an Immortal Emperor for a short time, and many things are flawed.

Now that he has comprehended the Dao traces within, his own foundation has been greatly enhanced.

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on me.

Previously, he couldn't see some issues clearly, but by establishing himself in the realm of Immortal Emperors, he might be able to obtain definitive answers.

In the blink of an eye, a divine thought traversed the river of time, traveling to the past.

In the vast river of time, countless tributaries exist, and many places are shrouded in mist, shrouded in mystery.

Even the most powerful beings at the end of the road cannot arbitrarily alter the river of time.

After all, above the beings at the end of the road, there are beings at the sacrificial level.

The quasi-immortal emperors themselves obscured the secrets of heaven, making their past difficult to investigate.

This divine thought transcends the past and present, traversing the long river of time.

Finally, he stopped at a certain point in time.

As he watched the scenes unfold, a look of longing flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, his expression complex.

Along the way, all he saw were scenes from the past.

He hadn't been in this world for very long then, and he spent the happiest decade or so of his life.

The good times didn't last long. A giant hand from the heavens appeared and devoured most of the living beings in this realm.

Li Xuan's mind was in turmoil, and he wanted to make a move.

In an instant, he regained his composure.

While powerful immortal emperors can intervene in many things, when it comes to their own growth trajectory, the cause and effect involved are enormous.

Li Xuan sighed and composed himself, watching the horrific scene unfold.

The throbbing pain rising within him made him unable to calm down, and the energy he released caused the river of time to tremble.

After that, he grew stronger and stronger, defeating his peers and becoming invincible in the world.

Having overcome the great tribulation, he pointed his sword at the forbidden zone of life, quelled the turmoil, and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

He defied the ravages of the mortal world for nine lifetimes, ultimately achieving the pinnacle of immortality.

Having endured terrifying tribulations, he became a powerful immortal king.

……

Memories flashed before my eyes, as if they had happened just yesterday.

Recalling the purpose of this journey, the divine thought rushed towards a special period of time.

This period was the time he spent as empress.

At that time, he wanted to use the power of the sun and moon to evolve his own chaotic world, so he sought out the corpse of the Sun Emperor.

He fought a great battle with the Immortal Emperor and ultimately preserved the physical body of the Sun Emperor.

In the present period, he is trying to restore the Sun Emperor by relying on divine will.

He had always been puzzled by this question, after all, the Sun Emperor had truly fallen.

Why was he able to bring back the Sun Emperor through the power of faith in the realm of humanity?

Death has always been a taboo subject, but the Sun Emperor is truly dead.

Everything that happened seemed too coincidental; a series of coincidences led to all of this.

This divine thought stood in the river of time, observing all that was happening.

When the Taiyin Emperor was about to erase the divine thought of the Taiyang Emperor, he couldn't help but intervene, causing this divine thought to unleash new power.

"I see!" Li Xuan exclaimed in sudden realization.

The re-enactment of past events by deities is inherently ethereal and unpredictable; what will happen next is impossible to foresee.

If he doesn't intervene, what will happen to the remaining deity of the Sun Emperor is unknown.

Having confirmed everything, the divine thought did not linger, but returned to the present era.

At that moment, Li Xuan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Everything has a cause and effect!

Having resolved his doubts, he had no more worries and devoted himself to deducing the method of reflection.

He was left with regrets in this life, and if possible, he wanted them to return from the past.

Time slips away unnoticed, and tens of thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye.
