Destiny is ashes

Chapter 963 Different Times, Another History (43. The order was wrong just now, please refresh)
On the side of the Longevity Sect, the Daoist soldier of the Crimson Saint Palace, [Mystic Fire True Source], arrived closely behind. It was a crimson-gold glass lamp, within which flowed the 'Purifying World and Burning Sins Mystic Fire' inherited from the Longevity Sect.

The Jiang Sheng Palace originated from a Lingxiao within the Changsheng Sect. That Heavenly Venerable comprehended the essence of the 'Eternal Burning Wonderful Fire' in the fundamental Daoist scripture, the Taiheng Changsheng Yongguang Zhenming Scripture. He specialized in this path, thus becoming independent and establishing a branch of the Heavenly Sect.

The relationship between the two is similar to that of the Lingxiao Dao soldiers of Tianji Mountain, the "Tianyan Divine Light Three Elements Puppet", which are right next to the Ten Directions Divine Sect. Both of them were separated from the Heavenly Sect, but they are slightly different from the "Heavenly Will Demonic Sect" on the other side.

Hey, old man from Qingdu, missed me?

The leader of the Heavenly Will Cult, the [Shangzhen Xuanyi Daoist], arrived with his Daoist weapon, the [Celestial Star Map]. He laughed heartily, while Qingdu Daoist met his gaze indifferently: [I don't have time to argue with you today. Or are you going to try to 'guess the will of Heaven' when facing a visitor from another world?]

[Haha, since I'm here, and I want to be here, it means that Heaven definitely allows it.]

Xuan Yi Daoist appeared younger than Qing Du Daoist, but looked far more weary. However, he was always smiling: "Today I've shown my Holy Son a great deal of skill, and I'm very pleased. I won't play with you anymore."

As long as it doesn't get in the way.

Qingdu Daoren was too lazy to waste words. He naturally knew who the Holy Son Xuan Yi was talking about was, but this one-sided identification was simply ridiculous. If this could work, then he would also say that An Jing was the Holy Son of the Shangxuan Sect. Who wouldn't want a destiny?
Besides these five Lingxiao who had close ties with the major sects, there were also two Lingxiao who never revealed the slightest trace of their own cultivation techniques.

However, this is not surprising, since not all Heavenly Sects have internal problems like the Refining True Path and the Great Chen Sect. Once exposed, these problems will only be discovered by the local Heavenly Sects.

Moreover, they may all have other reasons why they cannot show their faces.

Under the will of the Celestial Venerable, paths leading to the Radiant Scale Realm were opened one after another. They each transferred their elites from their own sects and summoned qualified warriors to come and send them into the Radiant Scale Realm.

Although it was safer, it made them a step behind those pioneers who had actively ventured into the Zhaolin Realm.

[The Avatamsaka Sutra: Now is the opportune moment]

The Book of Calamity Relief called from afar. In the Miro Heaven, a cultivator who was in seclusion opened his eyes, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of silver light. He answered the call of the Dao soldier and arrived in front of the Zhaolin Realm.

"The Old Ancestor Who Robbed the Book?"

Zheng Huayan, who was preparing to break through to the Manifestation Realm, had his eyes closed. His long silver hair reached his waist, and his face was delicate and beautiful, making it difficult to distinguish his gender. The Book of Calamity Relief smiled and said: "Since you comprehended the 'True Scroll of Calamity Relief' from me, you have not made a move. I wonder if you foresaw that your opportunity lay in this realm, and that coming to the Dragon Court would be extremely dangerous. That is why you have been hesitant to break through to the Manifestation Realm and have not come to the Dragon Court for the banquet... But now it is time. Go."

"Yes."

Without any surprise, Zheng Huayan remained completely calm. He was among the top fourteen Great Dao Disciples of Mi Luo Tian, ​​sometimes in the top five, sometimes in the top three, but he had never won first place. Even after the former chief disciple 'Yuan Xuan Ning' and several other disciples advanced to the Manifestation stage and began to take over the core affairs of the sect, he did not break through, and even seemed to be overtaken by the outstanding talents of the younger generation.

Some people in the sect were quite disappointed in him, but Zheng Huayan never cared. However, only now, with the Jiejie Shu revealing the truth, did everyone realize that this true disciple of Mi Luo Tian had probably already comprehended the Dao Divine Power of the sect's core Dao Weapon, the [Jiejie Zhenlu]!
Without uttering a single word, Zheng Huayan took a step forward, transforming into a stream of light and entering the Radiant Scale Realm.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Mother Bloodstone, the condensed blood energy transformed into a human figure, which silently entered the Scale Realm.

Zheng Huayan noticed the anomaly. He closed his eyes and frowned, feeling something was off. The other person's aura was extremely familiar; it should be someone he had met before. But if nothing unexpected happened, that acquaintance should have already perished...

But he had already entered the Realm of Radiant Scales and was swallowed up by the flow of cosmic light.

At this moment, not only the Ten Heavens Sect and several other sects, but also sects from the Central Hengdao Continent and the other ten continents, after roughly learning of the unusual activity, also sent their disciples to try their luck. —Since it's a confrontation between Huaixu and the otherworldly realms, we, as members of Huaixu, can naturally contribute our share!

The Seventeen Heavenly Venerables remained noncommittal, while the Four Seasons Dragon King, as the owner of the Ancestral Dragon Scale, tacitly accepted it all.

Although the Ancestral Dragon Palace is powerful, it can only hold its own against the 'Dragon Clan' of the Great Wilderness Realm. Considering that the Dragon Clan on the other side may also call for reinforcements, the only way to win is for the Ancestral Dragon Palace to call for more reinforcements on its own side!

Similarly, the Realm of Radiant Scales is all-encompassing, welcoming all who come. Its celestial gates shimmer with light, awaiting the infusion of all 'chaotic possibilities'.

However, not all entrants are aboveboard.

Among those outstanding individuals who followed closely behind An Jing and were fortunate enough to enter the Zhaolin Realm, as well as the numerous martial artists sent into the Zhaolin Realm by various sects afterward, several figures underwent extremely subtle and imperceptible changes in their aura the instant they entered the gate.

Perhaps it had been hidden in his heart all along, or perhaps it was because he had witnessed the clash of the Heavenly Venerables' powers that a trace of 'corruption' arose in his despair...

In fact, corruption originally existed within the Ancestral Dragon Scale, the Ancestral Dragon Palace, and even the Dragon Clan!

In short, the aura of the Heavenly Demon also silently seeped into it.

Within the realm of illumination.

"Hmm... such powerful cosmic light and void fluctuations!"

Even with An Jing's power, he felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine that was spinning, tumbling, heating, and even drying with ultraviolet light at top speed. All sorts of strange, bizarre, and even abstract light and shadow illusions were spreading out in all directions from him.

As time flowed endlessly and endless possibilities arose, in the chaotic and inexplicable landscape, he even vaguely saw several phantoms that resembled him but were not; they were all him, yet none of them were him.

—The power of the Ancestral Dragon Scale has probably already touched upon the realm of 'different times and histories,' that is, 'infinite parallel universes'... It can not only reverse time and accelerate the flow backward, but also 'change the channel' for a world that is like a TV program!
Based on his memories of both his past and present lives, An Jing could understand the incredible power of the Ancestral Dragon Scale. It was definitely beyond the sixth level of Lingxiao, and even above the seventh level of Lingxiao, the power of a Dao Venerable at the [Return to Emptiness] level in the Dao Court era!

But how could this be? If the Ancestral Dragon is the Dao Venerable, then when the Huai Xu Dao Court faced the Heavenly Demon Army, the Heavenly Demon Commander [Hundred Demon Lords] shouldn't have had such a difficult time... Or is it that there was more than one Hundred Demon Lords who invaded Huai Xu?
Let's leave that aside for now.

Within his divine sea, An Jing subconsciously looked at Fu Xie, who was located in the center of his divine sea.

—The shattering and disorder of Fu Xie... may not be what I think it is.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"An Jing... the cosmic turbulence around you is too strong... I can't handle it!"

The one who said this was not You Ruhui, but Jin Yanhua. An Jing quickly turned his head to look and found that it was not that Sister Jin could not bear it, but that there was a conflict between the cosmic light and the turbulent void between the two of them.

Moreover, due to the difference in hard power, and because Jin Yanhua used the Nine Tribulations Ascension to suppress the level, most of the pressure of the conflict fell on Sister Jin!
As Jin Yanhua transformed into her mechanical dragon form, the sword scales around her body rapidly changed, from black to red, from flawless to decayed. She had been enduring immense pain since the beginning, and only now could she finally give in!
