A hundred years of cultivating immortals, I'm dying, and Goldfinger came here

"You mean? That opportunity of primordial energy was sent to the forbidden zone by that supreme being?"

"What are the Gate to the Forbidden Zone and the ominous invasion? Could it be that they do not originate from this world?"

A flash of lightning pierced through his thoughts, leaving Jiang Chengxuan utterly shocked, his hair standing on end.

He took a deep breath, then looked serious and asked a series of questions.

The information revealed by the Celestial Immortal in his anger was far beyond Jiang Chengxuan's expectations.
It contained too many secrets, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

At this moment, the Immortal Bewitched paused, his eyes flickering, as if he had just realized his slip of the tongue.

He remained silent for a long while, looking into Jiang Chengxuan's sincere eyes, and sighed inwardly.

Fang then continued, no longer concealing anything, and said:

"The primordial energy of the ancient realm had already vanished in a certain immortal era due to a dramatic upheaval."

"After that, any cultivator who wants to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm can only obtain Hunyuan power from outside the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan's eyes narrowed, and he extracted the key words:
"Outer Heavens? What kind of place is that?"

This question caused the Celestial Bewitching to glance at him, his expression darkening before he continued his explanation:

"Indeed, just as you suspected, beyond the Ancient Realm lies an even more vast universe. Its name is the Heavens!"

"Beyond the heavens, there are many ominous races that regard the ancient human race as something they can easily take!"
Many of these forbidden zones are ancient battlefields left behind by ominous invasions!

"And that great one, who rose from ancient times, single-handedly..."
He fought a bloody battle against an ominous race, dominating all ages, and ultimately drove them out of the ancient realm!

"After that, he single-handedly formed an army, blocking the invasions of the ominous race time and time again in the Celestial World!"

"During this process, he continuously drew upon the Primordial Chaos Power from the heavens and channeled it into the Ancient Realm through the Gate of the Forbidden Zone."

To help the ancient immortals break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm, gain the qualification to ascend to the heavens, and help them ward off misfortune.

"Only in this way can the ancient realm enjoy eternal peace! Those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level have no way of knowing the truth."

To be able to live peacefully in the shadow of that great man.

"Young man, I see you might have the potential to ascend to the heavens, and I hope this cruel truth will come true."

Do not let your resolve to follow the Dao be extinguished.

In the deathly silent space, the Celestial Bewitching slowly recounted everything he knew.

This was a secret he had kept buried deep in his heart for countless millennia.

He had never had anyone to confide in, and originally, he hadn't planned to tell Jiang Chengxuan.

Because this secret is too heavy, too cruel!

Knowing this truth is of no benefit to anyone! Even the legacy he inherited from that great one...
Knowing all this, they couldn't help but have their hearts clouded and live in constant fear.

After a long time, he regained his fighting spirit through faith and wanted to advance to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Go to the heavens to lend that great man a helping hand and ward off misfortune.

However, it was at that moment that the Dao he had comprehended dimmed, and his strength greatly diminished.

He had no choice but to sever his cultivation and survive until now.

Upon accepting this cruel and heavy truth, Jiang Chengxuan's expression froze, and he stood there, stunned.
His eyes were vacant, and his mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts.

The celestial world, an ominous race, the depletion of primordial power—all of this was too astonishing, too shocking.
Even if Jiang Chengxuan had a strong tolerance for stress, it would be impossible for him to remain expressionless.

This is a secret that only those who have reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level are qualified to obtain.

Jiang Chengxuan found out first, which was not a good thing.

Huotian remained silent, thinking that Jiang Chengxuan was frightened, and was about to say something to comfort him.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan shuddered, waking from his deep thoughts, and said earnestly:

"I never imagined that such a secret existed in the ancient realm."

"If this matter is leaked, it will inevitably cause turmoil throughout the entire ancient realm, and those who are still making arrangements in the forbidden zone will be affected."

Do they all know this secret?

His words surprised Huo Tian, ​​who hadn't expected Jiang Chengxuan to calm down so quickly.

I accepted everything, and my mindset hardly changed.

"Anyone at the Great Luo Realm should be able to sense the gate to the forbidden zone; they're all old, immortal beings."

How could they not know this secret? They're just too afraid to act.

Huo Tian said resentfully, "That person's power is unknown, and the entire Ancient Realm is in extreme danger."
Those immortal Grand Luo Golden Immortals, however, were all afraid of death and none dared to try it themselves.
Draw upon the primordial energy from the gate of that forbidden zone to investigate the situation!

How tragic!
Hiding within this ancient realm, without the protection of that great one, is nothing more than waiting to die!

Huo Tian grew angrier the more he thought about it, his eyes turning bloodshot. If it weren't for the fact that the Dao he had comprehended had already dimmed,
They had already opened the restricted area themselves and ventured in to investigate.

"Ugh--"

In the end, Huotian could only sigh and tell Jiang Chengxuan these things, which rekindled his will.
But he could only let it go out, because it was no use; there was nothing he could do!

With the will but no power, one can only become one of those waiting to die!
With his current strength, he can't even get to the deepest part of the restricted area and see the gate.

"You've already been tainted by karma, so farewell. Those old fogies can easily find you with their methods."

At this moment, the Immortal of Bewilderment spoke to Jiang Chengxuan in a deep voice, his face dejected, as if he had returned to a state of utter despair.

"If you are determined, after breaking through to the Great Luo realm, you can go to the gate of the forbidden area."

He turned to leave, saying something, but his words were incomplete, and his eyes flickered.

Clearly, he hoped someone could open the gates of the restricted area and see what was happening outside.

But for Jiang Chengxuan, this was too unfair to say.

These beings, who have lived for countless millennia, are all waiting. Are they really going to send out such a junior?
Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock?

So he didn't say anything more, gathered his immortal power, and prepared to leave directly.

"Please wait, Your Excellency."

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan's voice rang out, interrupting Huotian's departure.

Upon hearing this, Huotian was taken aback and turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan with a somewhat surprised and uncertain gaze.

"hehe."

"If I wish to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm right now, I wonder if the Venerable One could protect me on my path."

"If this succeeds, I can immediately go to the gate of the forbidden area and scout out the situation outside!"

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said calmly, but his words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Huotian's mind.

"What? You're about to break through to the Great Luo Realm? This..." Huo Tian was shocked, completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, and his breathing became much more rapid.

Although he knew that Jiang Chengxuan might be using the Primordial Chaos Stone to break through to the Great Luo Realm, he hadn't expected this...

This Primordial Stone is Jiang Chengxuan's final preparation for breaking through to the Great Luo Realm!
Jiang Chengxuan had already prepared everything else perfectly, leaving no room for error!
"Even if you can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I can't stay here. Those old geezers could come looking for me at any time."

After a long while, Huo Tian, ​​who had been stunned, finally came to his senses. His eyes narrowed, but he still refused to speak.

He understood Jiang Chengxuan's meaning: protecting the Dao was a pretense, merely an excuse to shelter himself.

"I possess the means to distort space and time, and I have already comprehended the Great Luo Dao for thousands of years. I believe in myself."
Breaking through to the Great Luo Realm won't be long!

Jiang Chengxuan did not back down; instead, he roared with boundless pride.

He truly hoped that Huotian could live a good life, after all, he had done so for the cruel truth and for all living beings.
They truly bore an incredibly heavy destiny, which was like a kind of inheritance!
Moreover, Jiang Chengxuan felt that he had some connection with Huotian, which was also a reason to protect the latter.

"You are..."

Even Huotian was moved by this scene and was at a loss for words.

He wandered alone, wallowing in depravity for millennia, never imagining that he would perish in such a desperate situation.

He was able to witness and gain Jiang Chengxuan's approval and sincerity.

This even made Huotian feel a surge of bitterness in his heart, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
But he did not shed tears; instead, his eyes hardened, and he said in a resounding voice:
"Fine! Since you're so confident, I'll go crazy with you this once!"

"Hahaha! Good!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan burst into laughter, his heart pounding wildly with excitement and exhilaration.

Upon hearing of events beyond the heavens, Jiang Chengxuan's fighting spirit was ignited. That supreme being reigned supreme for eternity...

He was deeply moved by the fact that it had protected trillions of living beings in the ancient realm and the immortal realm.

Imagining himself in ancient times, fighting alone against an ominous invasion and driving it away, those scenes ignited Jiang Chengxuan's passion.

It was as if it had come to life right in front of him.

A blood-red sky, ominous shadows, a single hand covering the heavens, breaking through the gates of the forbidden zone, and plunging into the heavens.
He single-handedly defeated ten thousand enemies and fought alone against that terrifying being from an ominous race!

That was not far removed from Jiang Chengxuan's present state, and he chose to shoulder this responsibility! Because of the legacy!

The Great Luo Realm has only one level, and there are no longer any barriers between the early, middle, and late stages.
That is the realm of immortality, which transcends the mortal world.

Once one obtains the power of Hunyuan and breaks through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, even the world and reincarnation will no longer be able to bind them!
Even so-called divine intervention and ominous races, Jiang Chengxuan now possessed the power to confront them directly.

"Om-!"

Without much hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan and Huotian made up their minds and left the place together.
After several spatial jumps, they returned to the Haoran Xuanzong.

No one knew that something that would affect the entire ancient world and the lives of trillions of people was about to happen here.

"Within this Temple of Time, time and space can be confused for about a thousand years."

"Please, Venerable One, protect me on my path. A thousand years from now, I will surely appear in the world as a Great Luo Immortal!"

Somewhere in the Vast Mystic Realm, outside a mysterious palace, Jiang Chengxuan spoke to the Bewitching Immortal.
Under the latter's expectant, admiring, and worried gaze, he turned and walked into the main hall.

Upon learning that an ominous race could invade at any moment, Jiang Chengxuan felt there was no time to lose.

Even if it weren't for anyone else, but only for himself and Shen Ruyan, he had to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as quickly as possible!

Fortunately, it wasn't too late, thanks to the Time Temple that had been prepared long ago.

Having studied the Great Luo Dao Canon for thousands of years, Jiang Chengxuan was free of distractions.

After a thousand years of wandering in the mortal world, this moment has finally arrived.

Although the situation was urgent, Jiang Chengxuan was able to face it calmly.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Without hesitation, he activated the Temple of Time, and the grand array hidden beneath the temple began to operate.
Space rippled with a series of buzzing sounds, distorting the void!

A pile of extremely rare and expensive immortal materials had their power absorbed by the formation; these were all treasures related to the Great Dao of Time.

It may have been refined by Jiang Chengxuan according to the Great Luo Dao Canon, or it may have originally possessed such power.

Soon, the entire Temple of Time was affected by their intertwined powers.
Outside the palace, Huotian could no longer make out the main hall's appearance; he could only see a blurry, indistinct silhouette.

It's as if it has vanished from the world!
"It's finally here."

Jiang Chengxuan muttered to himself, unaffected within the Temple of Time, seated cross-legged in the center.
I closed my eyes, my mind and spirit merged with the universe, and all distracting thoughts were banished.

The Primordial Stone and the Immortal Luo Dao Crystal are key items for breakthroughs; besides these, there are many other methods.
They were all hidden within the Golden Immortal Universe and properly arranged.

Every step employed methods beyond worldly comprehension to unite Jiang Chengxuan's consciousness with that of the Great Luo Realm.

It guides that great road.

He only needs to keep moving forward, step by step, with his own strength.

Jiang Chengxuan did just that, recalling his experiences in the mortal world and his entire cultivation journey.
Recalling all the insights and changes in beliefs.

All these thoughts manifested within his Golden Immortal Universe, constantly causing changes and merging.

He wants to leave this universe, leave time, leave space, and transcend life and death!

Gradually, Jiang Chengxuan became like an ancient Buddha, silent in the main hall, his consciousness fading away.

"You're saying someone rescued Huotian?!"

Meanwhile, in the distant Guiyu Xuanzong, a god was enraged upon the throne.

That was a being who had successfully traversed the river of time and space; he was like the most ordinary old man.
His body was filled with an unfathomable aura, and in the blink of an eye, even the Great Dao trembled.

"Old Ancestor, by your side! That man disregarded the might of my Deceptive Mystic Sect, took advantage of the situation, and rescued Huotian!"

Beneath the throne, the two members of the Guiyu Xuanzong sect were also trembling and weeping.

Although he was a Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, he could be killed with a single palm strike from the old man before him.

"It seems that I have no choice but to make this trip."

Ignoring the two kneeling figures, the old man on the throne murmured to himself.

A strange light flickered deep within his eyes.

For various reasons, he didn't want to act rashly, hoping to save face and also out of respect for a certain entity.

But time is running out. His two men have failed again, and he has lost patience.

Even if it meant taking some risks, he had no choice but to do it himself.

In an instant, with a single thought from the old man, the immortal light in the void shifted and changed mysteriously.
The Dao was distorted, and he easily captured the aura of cause and effect. Time reversed, and scene after scene played back in his mind.

Soon, he saw Huotian, Jiang Chengxuan, and the Vast Realm! (End of Chapter)
