Chapter 647 Understanding and Receiving Heaven's Mandate

Blue Bright Holy City.

As the largest and closest to the Void Relics among the many forces on the Taiyi Continent, it has claimed to be the successor of the Void Holy City since its establishment.

After the Holy War ended, within just a few years, no fewer than several thousand forces suddenly emerged, claiming to be the successors of the Void Extreme Holy City.

The founders of some of these forces even 'optimized' their ideas based on the original concepts of the Void Saint Lord.

After all, the Holy Lord of Emptiness was defeated by the Holy Lord of Insight in the Holy War, which is enough to prove that the ideology she believed in was not 'correct' enough. Ideologies that are not 'correct' should be changed in accordance with the times.

Of course, there are also those who adhere to the ideals originally believed by the Holy Lord of the Void, and are committed to creating a world full of 'love', free from oppression and conflict.

In recent years, due to their differing ideologies, the so-called "inheritors of the Void Holy City" have been constantly at odds, and a life-or-death battle has been fought from time to time.

However, the all-seeing Holy Lord, who looked down upon all living beings from a high place, did not take any action.

Since winning the Holy War, he has rarely appeared on the Taiyi Continent.

It seemed that they didn't care at all about those beings who called themselves the 'inheritors of the Holy City of Emptiness,' and were even happy to see this scene unfold.

He will only eliminate a force when it truly becomes stable and demonstrates the potential to unify the entire Taiyi Continent.

Regardless of the ideology believed by the founders of that force!
After all, chaos doesn't require unification...

Back to the topic.

The founder of Blue Bright Holy City was a 'Saint-level' transcendent being who adhered to the ideals believed by the Void Extreme Holy Lord.

Although he is still quite far from reaching the level of a 'Saint' after his transformation, he is already an extremely powerful being among the extraordinary beings at the 'Saint Rank' level.

"Blue Bright Holy City..."

Strange colors surged in the distance, a thin, pale blue barrier seemingly the absolute boundary separating the two ends.

This is a barrier built by Lanming, the founder of Lanming Holy City, at the boundary of the Void Extreme Ruins. It is designed to prevent the corrosive energy within the Void Extreme Ruins from spreading outwards.

Unfortunately, the harsh environment surrounding the Void Realm Ruins involves higher-level forces and cannot be solved simply by creating an isolation barrier.

Therefore, compared to other more prosperous areas on the Taiyi Continent, the entire Lanming Holy City appears rather desolate.

Even so, many ordinary people still flock to it.

For ordinary people who may never come into contact with the supernatural in their lifetime, the harshness of the environment is secondary; the main thing is to avoid the conflicts between the supernatural.

In the chaotic Taiyi Continent today, being able to eat and dress warmly, avoid being affected by the conflicts between extraordinary individuals, and die inexplicably is already considered quite good.

……

……

At this moment, the two figures had silently passed through the barrier that isolated the energy erosion and arrived above the core area of ​​Blue Bright Holy City.

Mingyu looked down at the city below:
"You're quite thoughtful."

Naming the Holy City after 'Lanming' signifies that he believes his convictions are no less than those of the Holy Lord of the Void.

This is a highly ambitious superhuman.

"pity……"

Mingyu shook her head slightly and said no more.

Looking around, one can see that the layout of the core area of ​​Lanming Holy City is similar to that of Kongji Holy City back then.

It's much smaller in scale, and the building materials are also much worse.

The city is inhabited by many ordinary people, as well as some extraordinary individuals who share the same belief in 'order', but most of them are not very powerful, equivalent to 'Qi Refining' or 'Foundation Building' in the Tai Xuan Realm.

Within this vast city, there are seventeen extraordinary individuals comparable to those at the Golden Core stage, and only three who can rival those at the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the founder, Lan Ming, he himself has surpassed the level of Nascent Soul. Without considering other factors, if the extraordinary power in his body were converted proportionally, the total amount would not be inferior to those newly promoted Void Returning cultivators in the Tai Xuan Realm.

"He seems to be in trouble," Ning Wanzhu said softly.

As beings of profound understanding, their 'avatars of doubt,' crafted from a wisp of light of doubt, are entirely identical to their true selves...

The Blue Bright Holy City held no secrets from them.

In their perception, the most powerful superhuman in the city, Lan Ming, was frowning with worry.

The intense emotional turmoil within me was filled with panic and fear, along with a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

Even the beliefs he had always held dear began to waver, causing his extraordinary foundation to crumble, and his once vast extraordinary power, comparable to that of a Void Returning cultivator, began to degenerate...

"Logically, this shouldn't be the case." Mingyu frowned slightly.

During this time, through the knowledge treasury of the Void Saint Lord, the two also gained a certain understanding of the extraordinary system of the Taiyi Realm.

Under normal circumstances, a 'Saint-level' transcendent being who reaches Lan Ming's level can be as firm as a rock, unwavering and steadfast in their beliefs even when faced with a life-or-death choice.

This is what is meant by "never changing one's mind despite all difficulties, and never wavering in one's will despite life and death."

If a transcendent being in the Taiyi Realm can go further and reach a point where neither gain nor loss, success nor failure can shake their will in the slightest, there is even a chance that they can reach the top of the Saintly Rank and become a Saint, which is also known as the Dao Integration.

Based on all of the above, Lan Ming's current situation is clearly very abnormal.

What kind of experience could make a 'Saint-level' transcendent being, comparable to the Void Returning Realm, waver in their beliefs?

"Should we investigate this?" Mingyu asked.

Not long after arriving in the Taiyi Realm, the two determined that Ning Wanzhu would take the lead.

After all, in this world where belief equals power, it is undoubtedly most appropriate for her, who comes from Lingyin Workshop and cultivates the "Lingyin Heart Canon," to make the decision.

"..."

Ning Wanzhu paused for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

The two of them came out of the Void Extreme Sacred Domain mainly to travel around the Taiyi Continent and see if they could find any trace of Yuan in other places.

In this situation, one should naturally keep a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of the enlightened sage.

After all, in order to defeat the Void Saint Lord, he was even willing to threaten the 108 Heavens and all living beings on the Taiyi Continent. Now that he has offended him...

Rushing to investigate could very well attract him, and might even bring disaster to Lanming Holy City.

After hesitating for a long time, Ning Wanzhu finally said:

"Try it simply, don't leave too many traces."

Although Lanming Holy City is nothing compared to the Taiyi Continent, Lanming had already done his best to provide a place of refuge for ordinary people in this chaotic world.

They are indeed searching for the Abyss, but if they were to sit idly by while searching for it, that would not align with their Daoist principles.

Moreover, they are now merely 'incarnations of doubt'.

Based on simple calculations, if the impact is not significant, it might be worthwhile to lend a hand.

She herself has researched several methods to calm the mind and repair emotional wounds, and has already made adjustments based on the special system of this world.

Just in time for use.

"it is good."

Mingyu nodded slightly, then looked down at the Blue Bright Holy City, preparing to use divination methods adapted to the rules of this world to simply deduce the reason for the wavering of Blue Bright's beliefs...

But in the next instant!
A faint, almost imperceptible purplish hue emerged from between Lan Ming's brows in the city, rapidly rising to the highest point in the center of Lan Ming Holy City.

hum~
A dazzling light burst forth from that point of dark purple light, spreading out in an instant and covering the entire sky.

Heavy and violent, as if an all-powerful will, accompanied by a surging tide of light, easily tore through the barrier that isolated it from energy erosion, and swept away the distorted colored light that lingered on the Void Extreme Ruins with overwhelming force, wiping it all away.

Like a dark purple sun falling over the Blue Bright Holy City.

Everyone in the city looked up, standing there dumbfounded, their eyes filled with confusion. This was...

what happened?
Just as the surging tide of light was about to engulf Lanming Holy City, a hint of reluctance flashed in Ning Wanzhu's eyes. A point of immortal light shone from her fingertip and she pointed it forward.

clank!

A single, dazzling celestial light shone brightly, capturing the righteous energy of killing and destruction throughout the heavens!
Mysterious Sounds and Nine Luminaries Dispel Demons with Immortal Light!

Upon its appearance, it immediately halted the spread of the dark purple light tide, isolating it at a certain height.

"really."

A chilling voice, almost freezing the soul, rang out from the dark purple light.

"You are just as hypocritical and foolish as Kongji, knowing there are risks but still getting involved."

The endless light converged, transforming into a young man with dark purple eyes and a long black robe, who appeared above the Blue Bright Holy City.

The All-Knowing Holy Lord!

Unlike the fleeting glimpse of the Abyss Realm before, where countless distorted shadows surrounded him, his figure was now crystal clear.

Upon seeing the person's appearance, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu's pupils both contracted sharply.

The Holy Lord of Insight before us bears a striking resemblance to Yuan...

Could it be the influence of the 'Abyss Ruins' authority?

The two suspected that the Holy Lord of Insight was looking at them with undisguised malice in his eyes.

Sure enough, what kind of smart people could be mixed up with Kongji?

With just a little trick, they were successfully lured out.

Caring about these insignificant ants who aren't even 'Saints' is their biggest weakness!

Just as he was about to say something...

"Refining!"

Mingyu spread his five fingers as if to grasp this entire world, and clenched them towards the City's Enlightened Saint Lord.

Silently, fine, glistening raindrops appeared from all directions, densely packed, blocking out every angle.

Each raindrop contains a strange power that silences all things, intertwining and binding them together like a cage, trapping the Insightful Saint within.

Knowing that doing so would be risky, the two of them naturally wouldn't be unprepared.

This is a divine power created by Mingyu—

Silent rain.

The Holy Lord of Insight frowned.

Because of the different power systems, he did not discover the supernatural power that Mingyu had set up as a backup plan.

In his perception, these suddenly appearing raindrops not only greatly suppressed his power, but also sealed off all his 'possibilities' of escape.

It even severed his connection with the Insightful Realm to some extent.

"you……"

Just as he was about to threaten Lanming Holy City, Ning Wanzhu lightly flicked her wrist in the void, as if plucking the strings of a zither.

Accompanied by melodious and pleasant piano music, the space he was in, along with the rain-soaked cage, was separated from this world by a strange tremor.

Ning Wanzhu created his own supernatural powers—

Luo Tianzhou Yaoyin.

The astonished Holy Lord was unable to put up an effective resistance and was exiled to the 'nothingness', which was independent of the world and had no existence.

Not a single unnecessary word was spoken throughout the entire process!

Seeing this, Ning Wanzhu raised her hand and pointed a ray of spiritual light into Lanming Holy City, then grabbed Mingyu.

"go!"

The reason they were able to do it so easily this time was entirely due to the fact that the Holy Lord of Insight had no understanding of the divine abilities of the Tai Xuan Realm, while they had learned some characteristics from the Holy Lord of Void.

Simply put, it's about exploiting an information gap.

Even so, he wouldn't be trapped for long, after all, the Taiyi Realm is the home ground of the Holy Lord of Enlightenment, and his cultivation level is even higher...

Of course, this is enough.

Luo Tianzhou Yaoyin is a composite divine power of 'space' and 'cause and effect' that she perfected under the guidance of Senior Yuanjun after exploring Qingxu and obtaining the Molin Flower in order to help Yuan get rid of Senior Huo's entanglement.

Not only can it release the Insightful Saint, but it can also continuously sever the causal connection between him and the Blue Bright Holy City, thus making him ignore the existence of the Blue Bright Holy City.

The two quickly disappeared from the vicinity of Blue Bright Holy City and went to a more distant place.

……

……

In the vast, unknowable void, where nothing exists.

A cage constructed of fine raindrops suddenly appeared, trapping the Holy Lord of Insight within, sealing off all possibilities of escape.

However, instead of appearing impatient, he looked at the 'Silent Rain' cage with great interest.

The way it uses power is completely different from that of the Taiyi Realm, yet it is essentially the same as that of the outsider from back then...

"interesting."

The Holy Lord of Insight chuckled softly.

If he were still the same person he was back then, this cage wouldn't be so easy to escape, but now...

"A mere cage..."

He slowly raised his head, and his deep purple eyes changed rapidly, the 'impurities' within them being gradually removed.

Almost instantly, those dark purple eyes, which had been gleaming with a cold light, transformed into a pure, indifferent, and unblemished noble crimson.

At this moment, the features of the Holy Lord of Insight gradually changed, eventually becoming seven-tenths similar to Yuan.

"I am the one who understands all, who leads the world to leap forward and transform, who draws chaos to refine the Abyss, and who embraces all worlds to create the boundless."

A detached voice echoed in the void.

"I am now in trouble with outsiders, please help me, Taiyi!"

Boom!

As if the dawn were tearing through the twilight, a supreme, holy, indifferent, and boundless will descended upon this void where nothing existed.

The dense raindrops also began to dissipate little by little under this supreme and sacred will.

The cage that would normally take months to escape vanished in an instant.

"Tsk tsk! That was really dangerous."

A soft laugh rang out abruptly.

Whether it's the dissipating rain-laden cage or the indifferent, lofty, boundless will!
The entire Taiyi Continent, the Taiyi Realm, and even the Taiyi Domain were shrouded in shadow at this moment.

"This time, Brother Dao and the Spirit Ancestor can't blame me, can they?"
