Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 647 Finale
The sun is rising, the sky is filled with rosy clouds, and the whole world is reviving from the dark night, colorful and full of vitality.

The tall snow maple trees, illuminated by the morning sun, exude bursts of fairy spirit, making the entire plateau look divine and sacred.

In the central area shrouded in fairy mist, one can vaguely see a huge blue-gray sarcophagus quietly lying on the ground.

The plateau surrounded by snow maple trees is like a vast coffin bed, just for carrying the mysterious ancient bluestone coffin.

In the east of the plateau, there are nine lifelike stone dragons that stretch across the earth like nine mountains.

Beneath the invisible ground, nine thick fairy gold chains firmly locked the nine stone dragons and the plateau together, forming a magnificent nine-dragon coffin terrain.

The nine stone dragons seemed to be pulling Gaoyuan and carrying the sarcophagus to ascend to another world.

The splendid ancient world looks like a cluster of flowers.

But if you look closely, you will find that except for the plateau surrounded by snow maple trees, there are actually no living things anywhere else.

Those fairy beasts and spiritual plants that looked full of vitality were not real entities.

Instead, it is a "living creature" formed by the fusion of the immortal spirit that fills the heaven and earth and various runes of the Great Dao.

It was as if the great laws emanating from the coffin affected the truth of heaven and earth.

The sun and the moon in the sky do not seem to be real stars, but rather visions that evolve periodically based on some special rules and order.

Outside the world, there is nothingness.

The vast universe and all the worlds seem to have no connection with this place.

Only the snow maple tree, which exudes fairy spirit, brings a unique vitality to this world.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the original rotation of the sun and the moon began to freeze, and the tall snow maple trees also became a little listless at this moment.

However, not long after, vast sacrificial sounds rang out from those snow maple trees, and then they became full of vitality again as if they had drunk the water of the fountain of life.

It seems that those sacrificial sounds are the key to maintaining the healthy growth of the snow maple trees.

Behind every snow maple tree, it seems that different worlds are connected.

This cycle repeats over and over again, and whenever the vitality of the snow maple trees weakens, the sound of sacrifice will be heard.

……

In the vast universe, in all the heavens and worlds, the grand ceremony held once every million years has just come to an end.

In all realms, the sacrificial light on the ancestral altar has not yet completely dissipated, and countless creatures are sitting cross-legged in front of the altar, feeling the supreme rhythm of Tao exchanged for the sacrifice.

The three Heavenly Emperors stood in their respective secluded temples and observed the entire process of the grand ceremony to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the grand ceremony.

"Another million years have passed."

Emperor Chu Feng was filled with emotion as he watched the grand ceremony come to an end.

The massive amount of power of faith collected in each grand sacrifice, if equivalent to cultivation resources, would be enough to allow a mortal with no Taoist skills to cultivate all the way to the realm of Immortal Emperor without any disasters or troubles.

“The Great Sacrifice of the Heavens can put Li Zhi’s soul into a deep sleep. It is worthwhile to perform it every million years.” In another Taoist temple, Emperor Ye Fan also spoke.

In order to send Li Zhi away like a patient, they spent countless energy and tried countless methods, but all ended in failure.

Li Zhi is like an ink spot that cannot be erased. Every time it is erased, a faint trace will be left behind, and it may even turn into an ink spot again after a quarter of an hour.

In order to ensure that Li Zhi's ghost would not interfere with the operating order of the heavens and all worlds, the three Heavenly Emperors finally decided to seal him in a place outside the world.

They did not use normal sealing methods, but chose to imitate the Cemetery of Gods and Demons and opened up a world of nothingness in a secluded place.

At the same time, Li Zhi's ghost was sealed in the Nine Dragons Coffin, and a plateau was condensed using the Mysterious Heaven and Earth to store the sarcophagus.

The intention was to use the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin, a symbol that runs through three ancient histories, to completely send Li Zhi away.

He also used the power of the Great Dao to condense a special snow maple forest to carry the sacrificial vehicles from all the heavens and worlds.

The grand sacrificial scene of the Emperor of Heaven burying all the spirits to send them off was used to accelerate the demise of the ghost.

At the same time, through regular sacrifices from all living beings in the heavens and all realms, the power of all spirits is borrowed to suppress the ancient coffin, ensuring that the seal of the Nine Dragons Coffin will not loosen.

The three Heavenly Emperors have witnessed such a grand sacrificial scene thousands of times, but there is still no sign of the ghost dissipating.

Emperor Shi Hao of Desolate Heaven stared at the stone coffin on the Secluded Plateau for a long time. Suddenly, a trace of ripples flashed in his eyes, and he said, "The time has come."

"What time is coming?" Chu Feng asked across time and space.

"That ghost soul is about to fall into eternal nothingness." said Emperor Huang Tian.

"The grand sacrifice has been performed thousands of times, but he is still indestructible. Could there be a change this time? He said back then that it would only take fifteen days, but now it has exceeded thousands of times." Chu Feng said helplessly.

Among all the opponents he had met, Li Zhi was the most difficult to kill.

Even after billions of years, they still haven't found a way to completely wipe out Li Zhi.

That ghost seemed to have turned into a conceptual god-like existence. As long as the concept survives, he will never die.

"Let's go, it's time for us to see him off for the last time." Emperor Huang Tian seemed to have seen fluctuations coming from beyond the ancient history, so he said to Ye Fan and Chu Feng.

"Do you have a new idea?" Ye Fan asked.

"There is no way." Emperor Huang Tian shook his head, and then continued: "But I sense that today is his deadline."

“If we can send it away today, our billions of years of perseverance will be a success.” Ye Fan said.

For billions of years, in order to ensure that the ghost would not break the seal, they dared not relax at any time, for fear that the heavy ancient history would be overturned.

After all, every grand sacrifice consumes countless tributes that are considered to be divine treasures.

Time and again, most of the purity of the immortal way in the heavens and all realms disappeared.

If there were no one to regularly open up a whole new world in the Chaos Sea, most of the worlds would have dried up.

But the Chaos Sea is not boundless. If it continues to develop, the Chaos Sea will dry up one day.

By then, all the heavens and worlds will completely decline.

Afterwards, the three Heavenly Emperors, with their respective troops, rushed towards the secluded plateau.

In addition, the ruthless emperor, the ancestor of the pollen road - Luo and others in the heavens and myriad worlds also received messages from the three emperors, and set out from the heavens and myriad worlds to the plateau where the virtual and the real intersect.

After arriving at the plateau, Emperor Huang Tian took out a mysterious three-tiered altar from his sleeve.

Ye Fan instantly sensed a familiar aura from the altar and said, "Is this the altar that was bred in Li Zhilun Sea? How come it is in your hands?"

“It’s not his altar. It’s a replica that I materialized from the imprint of the origin of heaven and earth using the Great Transformation Method.” Emperor Huang Tian explained.

Back in the days of the Heaven Covering World, Li Zhi used the three-layer altar bred in the Wheel Sea to kill a Forbidden Zone Supreme, revealing the magic of the Wheel Sea Altar for the first time. At that time, the aura of the altar was copied by the origin mark of the Great Dao left by Emperor Huang Tian in the Heaven Covering World.

Billions of years of recovery have already given Emperor Huang Tian the ability to reproduce.

Others were visiting this remote plateau for the first time and were all filled with curiosity.

Looking at the layout that was similar to the cemetery of gods and demons on the plateau, Duan De observed the layout all around and felt that this place did not look like a proper cemetery.

"Is this the Cemetery of Gods and Demons? Why does it look so weird?"

"Old Duan, your level is not good enough. This emperor has seen the extraordinary things here. The ancient bluestone coffin is more powerful than the bronze coffin of the third generation. And the nine stone dragons are made of the essence of Xuanhuang."

The big black dog nearby walked with a human-like pace, circled around the plateau, and began to show off his erudition to everyone.

"You, a dog, don't know shit. The scale of this place is boundless. It can even bury all the living beings in the world, even the three of them are no exception. It is a real cemetery of gods and demons." Duan De pointed directly at Emperor Huang Tian, ​​Emperor Ye Tian, ​​and Chu Feng and said.

Apart from them, no one else spoke, but they had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

It seems that this plateau located in a secluded place will be their ultimate destination in the future.

Just as Duan De and Hei Huang were arguing.

Emperor Huang Tian had already placed the three-layer black altar in his hand in front of the huge bluestone ancient coffin, and performed his forbidden technique "The Great Method of Transformation".

"He transforms into freedom, he transforms into eternity, he transforms into Li Zhi."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew on the originally peaceful and tranquil plateau, making all the snow maple trees rustle. Even the holy fairy air turned as black as ink at this moment.

In an instant, the entire plateau was filled with howling winds, and black mist was whistling in the air, even condensing into figures like gods and demons, as if the gods were about to return.

Everyone's expressions became solemn, as they saw the appearance of a great sacrificial offering in the god-like and devil-like figures.

It was as if all the tributes offered from all the heavens and worlds had turned into gods and demons and come to life at this moment.

Only the three Heavenly Emperors stood there as steady as Mount Tai, allowing the gods and demons in the sky to roar.

Finally, the black mist dissipated.

Li Zhi, dressed in casual clothes, appeared on the altar.

The moment Li Zhi on the altar opened his eyes, the black mist on the plateau turned into holy fairy air again, and the sky and the earth became brighter.

Looking at the three Heavenly Emperors and the crowd behind them, Li Zhi smiled and said, "You are here."

"We are here to see you off." The three Heavenly Emperors spoke almost at the same time, as if announcing Li Zhi's final outcome.

"Such a big fuss, it's not just to see me off, right? Unfortunately, I can't give you the answer you want." Li Zhi said, shaking his head gently.

"Is it that you can't give it, or you can't say it?" Emperor Huang Tian asked.

Li Zhi just smiled but did not answer Emperor Huang Tian's question.

Because he also didn't know whether the great god Chen Dong would let them appear again in the future.

And it is never easy to change the destiny that has been determined for you.

Just look at the patient and you will know the answer.

Chen Nan, as the T0 version, turned into a nameless patient in this ancient history trilogy.

Not to mention that Emperor Huang Tian wanted to change his destiny and completely transcend ancient history.

But Li Zhi also wanted to, but he was powerless.

Destiny finally came to an end on this day, and the undying obsession was also covered by a brand new ancient history on this day.

He glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar friends behind the three Heavenly Emperors, looked at Duan De's still round belly, Yao Chi Saint's still beautiful face, Dao Yi Saint's still otherworldly aura...

Finally, Li Zhi said to them: "Goodbye, everyone!"

After saying that, he turned into a ray of black light and drilled into the huge ancient bluestone coffin, and swallowed the ghost lying in the coffin in one gulp.

Then, he began to spontaneously combust, and colorful lights emerged from his body.

Each flame seemed to carry a picture scroll of ancient history, with children who stayed behind in the world of Shading Heaven, disciples who followed him to brave foreign lands, and the dragon girl who was let down by him...

The brilliant light of extinction, after burning his body to ashes, even passed through the immortal sarcophagus and appeared in the outside world.

Under the attention of everyone, the sarcophagus was melted by the flames and shrank rapidly.

Then, the fairy gold iron chain buried under the earth was also affected and began to condense.

Finally, even the nine stone dragons outside the plateau were affected and transformed into nine mini stone dragons emitting eighteen colors in the divine flame.

When nine mini stone dragons pulled the stone coffin, which had shrunk to the size of a palm, into the air, everyone realized that Li Zhi would never come back.

The mini dragon pulled the sarcophagus, rushed into the sky, and slowly flew into the void.

"Goodbye, my friends."

Disappeared without a trace amidst the farewells.

Whether within the long river of time or outside the long river of time, there is no trace of him.

Even the memories in everyone's minds began to become blurred.

No one knew how much time had passed, but all the snow maple trees on the plateau had withered, and the people standing in front of the three-tiered black altar were reluctant to leave.

The three Heavenly Emperors traced the past, present and future, but found no trace of Li Zhi. They also didn't know where he would end up. His life and death were all nothing.

The three Heavenly Emperors felt confused, as if they had seen their future outcomes.

"Will we in the future also disappear like this?"

Chu Feng sighed, and couldn't help but think back to the days when all the worlds were reduced to ruins.

"Perhaps the end of fate is disappearance and nothingness." Ye Fan said. A leaf covers the sky, leaving only endless darkness. Light and darkness are never eternal. Perhaps nothingness is the destination of all souls.

“Throughout the ages, no one has been immortal. This cannot be seen in ancient history.” Emperor Huang Tian felt sad when he recalled the scene when he sent away the sick senior.

Perhaps the ending of ancient history has confirmed that statement.

“No matter how beautiful and charming you are, you will eventually become a skeleton; no matter how proud you are, you will eventually become nothing. Immortality is only a beautiful legend. To transcend ancient history and witness the real writers of ancient history is the real beginning.”
