Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

Everyone then discovered that the young man had a jade pendant with the word "Kunlun" engraved on it hanging around his waist. For a moment, the teahouse was filled with gasps - the Kunlun sect had always been mysterious, and its leader rarely set foot in the secular world. How could this young man claim to be a disciple of Kunlun?

"Ahem, I was just talking casually." The young man scratched his head awkwardly, but had to reveal something under everyone's questioning, "In fact, my master once met Patriarch Hongjun. He said that the Patriarch's realm seemed to be between 'Tao' and 'Instrument'. Perhaps he has already surpassed the Immortal Emperor and become the embodiment of some kind of rules."

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves. The entire teahouse instantly exploded. Some were shocked, some were suspicious, and most were increasingly curious about the origins of Hongjun Patriarch. At this moment, Jiang Han, who was far away in the Divine City, was standing on the top of Chaotian Pavilion, looking at the rolling thunderclouds in the western sky, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth - he knew that a bigger storm was brewing in secret.

While the Beidou monks were discussing the ancestor Hongjun, the movement in the seven life forbidden areas had not completely subsided. Deep in the Netherworld Blood Sea, in a palace built of bones, a man with black chains wrapped around his body was staring at the water. Jiang Han's figure was reflected on the water. The man's pupils suddenly contracted and he showed a grim smile: "Hongjun, I didn't expect you to be still alive. It's time to fulfill the promise we made back then, right?"

In the Yama Palace of the underworld, the Yin-Yang Judge knelt in front of the Book of Life and Death, writing rapidly with the Judge's Pen in his hand. The bamboo slips in front of him were densely packed with Jiang Han's past: "In the ancient times of 3,000 years, he participated in suppressing the Chaos Demon God; during the dark turmoil, he severely injured three quasi-immortal emperors with the law of thunder; 4,500 years ago, he had a chance encounter with Jiang Taixu."

"Sir, why did you let him change his fate?" The Bull-Headed Ghost at the side couldn't help but ask, "The fate of Fairy Caiyun has already ended. Forcibly resurrecting her will definitely disrupt her reincarnation."

"What do you know?" The judge suddenly became furious, and slammed his pen heavily on the table. "Some causes and effects cannot be interfered with even by the heavens. Why do you think Hongjun was willing to offend the underworld to save her? Because..." He suddenly stopped talking, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "Forget it, some secrets should be left to sleep forever."

At the same time, deep in the ancient forbidden land, in a stone chamber shrouded in chaotic energy, a woman in white was sighing in front of a bronze mirror. The mirror reflected Jiang Han's back. The woman stretched out her hand and gently touched the mirror with her fingertips: "Brother, you finally chose this path. Were you sure about the bet you made back then? If you fail, not only will you be annihilated, but the entire Beidou Star Region..."

Her voice was suddenly interrupted by a thunderclap. Ripples appeared in the bronze mirror, and the picture turned to the unusual scene in the seven forbidden areas. The woman's eyes suddenly turned cold: "It seems that those old guys can no longer hold back. Well, since the key to restart the reincarnation has appeared, this chess game that has lasted for eternity should also enter the final chapter."

In the Luan Gu Mountains outside the Divine City, Jiang Han sat alone on a huge meteorite, staring at the bronze fragment in his hand in a trance. The fragment was engraved with ancient runes, and words such as "reincarnation" and "heavenly way" could be vaguely seen. This was a treasure he accidentally obtained when suppressing the emperor's corpse, but recently it has been moving frequently, as if responding to some kind of call.

"It's been four thousand years. What's coming will eventually come." He muttered to himself, his fingertips stroking the gap on the edge of the fragment. "In order to save that kid, I didn't hesitate to consume my essence. Now it has given some people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Memories came flooding back. Four thousand five hundred years ago, he encountered the seriously injured Jiang Taixu near Purple Mountain. At that time, Jiang Taixu had just killed the Sun King, but was surrounded and killed by the Holy Land coalition forces. He was already at the end of his strength. Seeing that he had excellent bones and bones, and that he had some connection with him, Jiang Han secretly helped him, and even used the "Heaven-defying Fate-Changing Technique" to extend his life for 500 years - at the cost of his own realm falling three levels.

"It's a pity that the child is too stubborn. He would rather be sealed than join me." Jiang Han chuckled, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. "But it's okay. If he really went with the flow, how could he have achieved what he has today?"

He looked up at the starry sky, and the arrangement of the Big Dipper suddenly changed subtly, forming a huge "劫" character. At the same time, the bronze fragment in his hand trembled violently, and a stream of light flew out of it, outlining a star map in the air. In the center of the star map, a huge bronze fairy palace slowly emerged, and the word "lunhui" on the palace door flashed with a strange light.

"Is it finally going to start?" Jiang Han stood up, and the star tracks on his robe suddenly lit up. "Well, since cause and effect have come, I will play this last round with you. I just hope that this time, we won't make the same mistake again."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared into the starry sky, leaving only a deep palm print on the meteorite - the only proof of his inner turmoil. Behind him, deep in the Luan Gu Mountains, a pair of huge eyes opened from the darkness, and the pupils reflected the gears of fate of the entire Beidou Star Region, which began to turn slowly.
Ten days later, the Big Dipper Star Region welcomed the "Star Conference" held once every thousand years. Representatives from all major forces gathered in the Divine City, ostensibly to exchange their cultivation experiences, but in fact to find out the truth about the ancestor Hongjun.

In Chaotian Pavilion, Jiang Han looked down at the crowd in the square. Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun stood hand in hand in the crowd. The former had recovered the peak strength of the God King, and the latter had broken through to the Saint realm under the tempering of thunder power. The two were surrounded by a faint red thread of marriage, which was very eye-catching.

"Ancestor, there are many news about the opening of secret realms today." The Lord of the Divine City respectfully presented the jade slip, "Especially the Bronze Immortal Palace in the Kunlun Mountains. There have been many unusual movements recently, and many cultivators want to try their luck."

Jiang Han's eyes narrowed slightly. The Bronze Immortal Palace was the place where he obtained the Thunder Law that year, and it was also the key to the restart of this reincarnation. He vaguely felt that those beings hidden deep in the restricted area were trying to open some kind of seal through the Immortal Palace, and he was the last barrier to stop all this.

"Tell everyone that the Bronze Immortal Palace will open in three days." He said calmly, "I will personally guard the entrance. Anyone who wants to enter the palace must first pass this test."

The Lord of the City of Gods was stunned for a moment, then he understood - this was to gather all those who had evil intentions together and catch them all in one fell swoop. He quickly followed the order and left, and he admired Jiang Han's plan even more in his heart.

In the square, Jiang Taixu looked up at Chaotian Pavilion, and his eyes met Jiang Han's. The latter nodded slightly, and the former understood and held Fairy Caiyun's hand tightly. They didn't know what was waiting ahead, but at least at this moment, they were together and had nothing to fear.

As night fell, the Big Dipper shone like gems. Jiang Han stood on the roof of the pavilion, watching the thunder power in his palm resonate with the starry sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Before the ages, he was the guardian of heaven; after the ages, he was the breaker of reincarnation. No matter how his identity changes, some things remain unchanged - such as his persistence in justice, his compassion for the people, and his adherence to that promise.

"What is coming will eventually come." He said softly, raised his hand and swung a lightning, drawing a huge "Tao" character in the night sky, "but before that, I will protect this world until the last moment." Under the starry sky, countless pairs of eyes looked at the lightning, and inexplicable throbbing surged in their hearts. They didn't know that a new era was opening with the force of thunder, and they would all become witnesses of this earth-shaking change.
In the extreme north of the Eastern Wasteland, a thousand meters deep beneath the ice field.

The cracks in the first divine source spread like a spider web, and ice chips fell, reflecting a cold light in the darkness. The shriveled body suddenly made a "crackling" sound, and the spine stretched out one segment after another. Under the dry yellow hair, a pair of pupils slowly opened - they were gray-black like the abyss, without a trace of life, but the moment they came into contact with the outside world, they burst out with a piercing murderous intent.

"Roar—" The old ape in the second divine source suddenly roared, its snow-white fur moving without wind, and each hair tip gleaming with metallic luster. The moment its claws tore open the divine source, a demonic aura as vast as the sea and river rose into the sky, and hundreds of gullies as deep as a hundred meters appeared on the surface of the ice field in an instant. Dark golden blood oozed from the cracks, which was the characteristic of the ancient demon race.

"The 36,000th time breaking the ice. I have finally waited for this day." The old ape muttered to himself, his voice like a loud bell, shaking the snow leopards above the ice to flee in all directions. He looked up at the ice field, and the thunder vision that Jiang Han had caused earlier was reflected in his pupils. "Hongjun's aura seems to indicate that the changes in the way of heaven have appeared. The era of the ancient clan should be restarted."

At the same time, more divine sources began to vibrate. In the third divine source was a girl wearing scale armor, with a diamond-shaped crystal inlaid between her eyebrows. It was the "sea-suppressing jade" of the ancient sea tribe. In the fourth divine source was a young beast shaped like a unicorn, with karmic fire wrapped around its body. It was the legendary "listening beast" that could devour cause and effect.

At the edge of the ice field, a group of monks dressed in animal skins were nervously setting up a barrier. The old man in the lead had nine bronze bells hanging from his waist, each with the ancient word "Seal" engraved on it: "Quick! Activate the Twelve Capitals of Heavenly Gods and Evils Array! We must not let these ancient relics break out of the ground!"

"Elder, it's too late!" The young monk pointed at the ice in horror, and saw countless fragments of the divine source breaking out of the ground. Each fragment turned into a hideous bone spur. "Those divine sources seem to have consciousness! They are absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

The old man's face suddenly changed. He suddenly remembered the record in the ancient books of his clan: in the ancient times, the strong used the "divine source sealing technique" to preserve themselves, but if there was a big change in the way of heaven, the divine source would break the seal on its own, and even devour the spiritual energy to reshape the body. The scene before him was exactly the same as the precursor of the "end of the law" in the ancient books.

Three thousand miles underground in Beiyuan, in a vast underground palace.

Countless huge pupae began to tremble violently, and the runes on the shells made a harsh friction sound. The first thing to break out of the pupae was a monster with three heads and six arms. Each head had serrated sharp teeth, and the six arms behind it held bone knives, copper bells, chains and other weapons. The air was immediately filled with the stench of rotten meat.

"Hiss—" The monster made a snake-like hissing sound, and three pairs of eyes opened at the same time, with green light flowing in the pupils. It looked down at its scaly body and suddenly roared in ecstasy: "Finally free! Those damn human monks, I will grind your bones into powder!"

More pupae shells cracked open, revealing creatures with eagle wings and lion bodies, their claws stained with thousand-year-old blood; some resembled giant spiders, but had human faces on their abdomens, and were using spider silk to wrap their molted shells into a ball; the strangest was a half-human, half-tree creature, with its bark-like skin covered with spells and sharp spikes at the end of each branch.

Deep in the underground palace, on an altar built of dragon bones, an old man with vines wrapped around his body was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "Hongjun's aura is still alive? Did the plan we set up back then go wrong?"

"Master Zuwu, the brothers outside can no longer hold back." A pangolin-like creature crawled on the ground, "Should we rush out now and flatten all the human cities in Beiyuan?"

The old man (Zu Zu) raised his hand to stop him, and his fingertips gently stroked the bronze tripod on the altar. The tripod was filled with black liquid, and the residual souls of countless human monks were soaked in the liquid: "No hurry. Let those young people go to test the situation first, and see how many opponents there are in Beidou now. Then we can talk." He sneered, "If Hongjun dares to get in the way, it will be a good revenge for being suppressed by him in the past."

Outside the underground palace, the monks of Beiyuan suddenly felt the ground shaking. Someone looked up at the sky in horror: "Look! Why are those clouds turning bloody?" The clouds in the northern sky were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless hideous shadows could be vaguely seen shuttling through the clouds, as if the gates of hell were about to open.

In the Nanling Abyss, above the five-colored altar.

The lid of the transparent ancient coffin hit the altar like a meteorite, stirring up thousands of layers of dust. In the strong light of the divine source explosion, a figure slowly stood up. It was a man wearing black and gold scale armor, with three crystal dragon horns on his forehead and a tail covered with barbs behind him - he was the direct descendant of the ancient dragon clan.

"Human race?" The man (Long Yuan) swung his tail, and the dragon energy around the altar suddenly boiled. "When the Holy Ancestor was defeated, our race was forced to retreat into the abyss. Now we have finally waited for the opportunity when the heavenly way is unbalanced. That old thing Hongjun thought that he could sit back and relax after suppressing the six forbidden areas? How ridiculous!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and the dragon energy at the bottom of the abyss condensed into nine giant dragons, roaring towards the sky. Each dragon was wrapped with an ancient spell, which was the "Sky-Splitting Technique" used to tear apart space in the ancient times.

"Notify the other royal families to gather at Buzhou Mountain in three days." Long Yuan's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty. "This time, we must not only take back our territory, but also let those humble humans know--" He suddenly showed his sharp fangs, "The ancient times have never ended!" (End of this chapter)
