Chapter 614 The Appearance of 'Heaven' Amidst Mystery

"So that's it."

After hearing about everything Xu Xing had done on his trip to the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven, Mei Zu's smile faded and her expression became more serious.

Then he voiced his confusion.

"Why did 'Tian' appear in the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven?"

Since Xuandu knows that his Daoist brother is the 'Heavenly Tribulation'.

Having experienced all that happened in ancient times, Heaven itself should know this.

That's where the problem arises.

Even knowing that his appearance would allow his fellow Daoist to sense the existence of 'Ancient Tai Xuan Tian', Tian still chose to reveal himself...

“‘Heaven’ should know that its actions will only worsen the situation for the Cang Clan,” Meizu frowned. “This shouldn’t be good for Him, right?”

Is there really no benefit to it?

"Not necessarily." Xu Xing looked at the bound, colorful radiance in front of him.

"It's unclear what Gu is thinking for the time being, but we can get a glimpse of Xuan's thoughts. He would definitely not take the initiative to accelerate the revival of 'Heaven'."

"It could even be said that He Himself was extremely wary of 'Heaven'."

"Perhaps 'Heaven' was aware of this, which is why it appeared on purpose to further worsen the situation of the Cang Clan, thereby forcing Gu and Xuan to find a way to awaken it from its slumber."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xing frowned, shook his head, and continued to mutter to himself.

"But if it really is about this, then He should have had a better way of handling it..."

If this is truly 'Heaven's' purpose, then it should use this as leverage, rather than directly appearing to lure him to the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven.

Although it worsened the situation of the Cang Clan to some extent, it could force Gu and Xuan to act.

However, if things deteriorate too much, it won't be good for 'Heaven' either. The human race will definitely not allow it to revive, and the only thing it can rely on is the Cang race.

Meizu fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, from any perspective, the sudden appearance of 'Tian' is itself strange.

Just as the two were pondering...

"Perhaps we can find clues in that 'past' that is etched with true history."

In the gentle voice, threads of cause and effect intertwined, outlining a graceful and beautiful woman with a white veil over her eyes on Xu Xing's other side.

Yuanjun.

As one of the true immortals who could move freely, she rushed over after discovering the situation.

Yuan Jun glanced casually at Mei Zu, showing no sign of surprise, and sat down on the other side of Xu Xing.

Meizu pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

"Please, fellow Daoist, release the sword light used to bind me."

Xu Xing paused, then nodded:

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, the crimson blade that had been binding the seven-colored radiance began to withdraw, dissipating into tiny wisps of red light.

Before long, as the crimson light dissipated, only a wisp of seven-colored radiance remained before the three of them, moving restlessly as if it were a living thing.

"Be careful, don't let it get away," Meizu reminded him.

The 'past' that bears the mark of true history should not exist in the present world.

If left unattended, it will soon disappear due to the self-correction of spacetime.

"No need for you to remind me."

Yuanjun spoke softly, then gently pointed a finger in front of her.

Buzz~!

With a soft hum, the previously restless, iridescent light froze completely, and ripples spread outwards from it like waves on water...

The ripples continued to spread, casting a faint glow wherever they passed, creating a blurry image in front of the three people.

It was a magnificent hall formed over countless years.

Endless light and shadow crowded into the hall, and then erupted all at once in an instant.

However, at this moment, the scene traced back by Yuanjun was mostly nothingness, with only the cold and fierce existence hidden in the boundless chaos clearly visible.

太。

Having completely perished, Tai has lost the 'invisibility' characteristic of being a Celestial Ancestor.

“What can we tell from this?” Meizu frowned.

"Of course it's more than that."

Yuanjun raised her hand, and threads of cause and effect swirled between her slender, fair fingers.

"I still need to borrow your identity, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing immediately understood and took her hand.

This is to use the identity of 'Heavenly Calamity' to reproduce all the things 'Heaven' did at that time.

really!

As if a part of the 'emptiness' in the scene before them was quickly filled in and given color.

That was a figure who looked no different from any other member of the Cang clan, with a delicate and perfect face and indifferent eyes filled with seven colors.

day.

Originally just an illusion, it suddenly gained will at a certain moment, raised its head and calmly looked ahead.

"ASAP."

Immediately after that sound, the entire scene was engulfed by the spreading 'nothingness,' leaving only a wisp of seven-colored light drifting into the distance.

That's what happened back then.

Although the rest is unclear, it's not hard to tell from the footage just now that 'Tian's' "as soon as possible" was directed at Gu.

ASAP?

The three remained silent for a long time; it was really difficult to glean any useful information from those two short words.

"It's strange."

Another voice suddenly rang out.

Hongzun.

This time, only voices were heard, no one came.

Xu Xing was not surprised.

Although only Meizu and Yuanjun came in person.

However, apart from the senior sister who was in seclusion, everyone else turned their attention to the Sword Sect after discovering the anomalies on the Starry Sky Frontline battlefield.

It's just that the Demon Ancestor arrived relatively quickly.

"What insightful opinion does Fellow Daoist Hongzun have?" Bazun's voice rang out.

Hong Zun was the person most valued by 'Heaven' back then. If we're talking about understanding 'Heaven', no human true immortal can compare to him.

“You may not have noticed anything.” After a pause, Hongzun continued, “But in my opinion, ‘Heaven’ seems to have deliberately waited for an opportunity when Xuan was not paying attention to the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven.”

Did they deliberately wait for an opportunity when Xuan didn't pay attention to the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven?

"Could it be that 'Tian,' that shameless bastard, and that self-righteous fool Gu are having an affair?"

This sounds like a joke.

But that sounds a bit strange...

"I don't know the specifics, but there must be a big problem between Gu and Tian."

“Emm…” You hesitated for a moment, “If I tell that old bastard Xuan about this, will it cause them to fight amongst themselves?”

You really have a strategic mindset.

"We can give it a try, but the effect is probably not significant," Xu Xing said.

The Cang Clan is now facing utter ruin if they make the slightest mistake, so even if Xuan knew about this, he would not turn against Gu.

"Could Fellow Daoist Huo use this as a basis to sow discord in Xuan's heart?" Dan Zu also asked.

Confused: "..."

There was a long silence before a reply came.

"I can't do it." "Oh, what a pity."

pity?!
That's incredibly mysterious!

mysterious!!!
It's obvious that this is impossible!

"Why don't we first see what the actual historical records that Brother Xu brought out contain?" Ning Ruo also spoke up.

"Too."

As Xu Xing released Yuan Jun's hand, the dimmed scene before him vanished, transforming back into a wisp of seven-colored radiance.

As all the immortals turned their gazes toward it.

The seven-colored radiance dissipated after a violent tremor!
boom!
The images burst forth and appeared in the perception of every True Immortal.

Then one could see boundless seven-colored divine light and rolling purple energy surging and churning, containing boundless chaos within.

But as the clang of swords rang out, an indescribable light, encompassing all things in the world, pierced through everything.

Light!
That was the light born from the resonance and supplication of all the sword paths of the heavens!

"mysterious!"

A crimson blade, dividing yin and yang, swept across, tearing through chaos, crushing divine radiance, and colliding violently with the profound and indescribable purple aura!
Amidst the terrifying sword intent that shook the world, endless rain of blood fell.

Twelve figures could be faintly seen standing side by side with the sword-wielding figure, striking the sky.

The day of the decisive battle between humanity and the heavens has arrived!
Rumble!
After a loud bang, this small piece of real history could no longer be contained, and the scene turned into countless bizarre and colorful lines.

This situation lasted for a long time.

Finally, everything calmed down.

The scene seems to have returned to a more distant time and space where nothing existed and yin and yang were not yet separated.

A faint, slightly purple light gradually rose from the very center...

In the very beginning of time, the Dao was born!
The immortals instantly understood what was happening before their eyes. What they could see was naturally beyond what a newly formed god-like Cang Clan could compare to.

The Tao is initially mysterious!

This is the first innate Daoist to be born in the Tai Xuan Realm, witnessing the birth of Xuan!

suddenly!

Boom!
Like the muffled sound of war drums, a faint purple light flashed in the air!
At this crucial moment.

The scene cut off again, and the vast purple aura completely engulfed everything.

"..."

All the immortals fell silent for a moment.

……

……

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

Inside the venue for the final round of the 'Immortal Sect Special Recruitment'.

Under the witness of Du Ruoheng and the four elders, the first trial of the 'Three Trials of the Law' is in full swing.

The first secret realm of the assessment-specific grotto-heaven.

In a vast, white space, Ye Zhiwei sat with her eyes closed, a gleaming longsword resting between her knees, and lines of golden text floating before her.

"Assessment Swordsmanship!"
This is a sword technique created by the Supreme Master Tongxuan himself, specifically for this 'Special Recruitment by the Immortal Sect'.

Its true name is "The Thousand Laws and Myriad Phenomena Sword Derivation Book".

It is extremely easy to get started, yet highly expandable.

After entering the basics, each person will develop their own unique techniques and sword moves based on their own insights, resulting in a strong personal style.

This is also the only usable method of fighting the enemy in the 'Three Gates of Law'.

The moment they enter the cave, all the supernatural abilities and sword techniques they have learned in the past will be erased, and even their true essence and physical strength will be suppressed to the same level.

If the "Three Gates of the Way" assessment places more emphasis on the foundation, then the "Five Gates of the Heart" assessment places more emphasis on one's character and temperament.

Then these 'Three Barriers of Dharma' place even greater emphasis on the practitioner's comprehension and combat abilities!

After a while, Ye Zhiwei opened her eyes, gripped the longsword, and thrust it forward!
call out!
A sliver of sword light burst forth from the tip of the sword and vanished in a flash!
In the instant it conceals itself, it quickly bends, becoming as soft as real silk thread, yet possessing unparalleled sharpness.

After circling once, it returned to her and nestled between her five fingers.

Ye Zhiwei intently observed the almost transparent sword thread between her fingers, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"Let's call it 'Hidden Sword Silk'."

The moment she named it, the pure white space in front of her suddenly gained specific boundaries and colors.

Before she could even react to what was happening, a series of hideous monsters appeared in front of her.

Its body was entirely silver-gray, with a slender figure, two sharp horns on its head, arms like swords with eerie purple patterns, and a pair of eerie purple eyes that shone with a chilling light, making one's heart tremble.

Ye Zhiwei paused, feeling a tightness in her heart as she was stared at by these monsters that seemed born for battle.

Not bad!

This is exactly the image of the Mysterious Grass Monster that Xu Xing had enlightened.

After obtaining Xu Xing's consent, Du Ruoheng used it in the final round of the Immortal Sect's special recruitment assessment.

Ye Zhiwei quickly regained her senses, picked up her long sword, and rushed inside.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
A series of crisp sounds rang out as countless 'hidden sword threads' flew everywhere, and severed limbs fell in all directions.

……

……

High up in the venue.

Zhou Kongming sat in the examiner's seat, observing everyone's performance.

A round sphere rested on his shoulder, with a prismatic hole in the center, covered by a layer of translucent pale red crystal.

The red light flickered, just like a person blinking.

"Master, why does that Foundation Establishment cultivator seem even more powerful than the Golden Core cultivator?"

The processed, cold, mechanical sound rang out, but one could still detect a hint of confusion within it.

"That's the Foundation Establishment stage, which is indeed inferior to the ordinary Golden Core stage," Zhou Kongming explained.

"Foundation Building through Creation?"

The light beneath the pale red crystal flickered once more.

The round body spun around and then looked at the other cultivators on the projection screen in the venue.

After observing for a while, I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

The cultivators of the Tai Xuan Realm are truly amazing!
Even the weakest Foundation Establishment cultivator among these people is much stronger than the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qixing Civilization.

The most powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator was ridiculously strong, even stronger than the Golden Core cultivator she had calculated when she was in Qixing.

Perhaps only Zhou Xian, who formed the 'Great Sun Golden Core' through the 'Great Sun Refining Spirit Elixir Formation Method', could rival her, beyond calculation.

Whether they can even win is another matter, after all, Zhou Xian's supernatural abilities are far too crude compared to those of someone at the Foundation Establishment stage...

"Master, when can I change to a humanoid physical body as my foundation?"

This sphere is Heng.

She had previously resided within Zhou Kongming's flying sword, but ultimately she was not a sword spirit born from the sword itself, so it was not appropriate for her to reside there for a long time.

Therefore, Zhou Kongming commissioned Qi Ling to help create a physical foundation for the 'artifact spirit' to reside in.

The final product is this sphere.

“Xiaoling said that your condition is suitable for a physical foundation of that type.” Zhou Kongming repeated Qi Ling’s instructions. “You are not used to the Tai Xuan Realm yet. The physical foundation that Xiaoling created for you can nurture your spirituality and accelerate your cultivation progress.”

He also felt a little strange about it.

In fact, Heng himself designed the appearance of the physical base, and Xiaoling agreed, saying that the appearance would not affect the performance and that he could rest assured.

As a result, right after I sent over the design drawings, Xiaoling said that Heng was, after all, a creature from another world.

Let him send Heng over first, and she will observe it before redesigning a more suitable physical foundation.

When it was sent back, Heng had become this ball.
