Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 455 Underground World
But to their utter surprise, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes.

The atmosphere within the Heavenly God Academy, after its initial violent upheaval, gradually settled down, but instead of dissipating, it transformed into a more oppressive undercurrent.

Outside the cave where Shi An was in seclusion, the purple aura remained, showing no signs of weakening over the past three years, but instead growing even stronger.

Occasionally, a low, rumbling Dao sound would emanate from the depths of the cave, causing the void to tremble and Dao runes to appear and disappear, making people dare not approach.

This silent power constantly reminded everyone that the evil star who destroyed the Wind Clan was still in the academy, forcibly suppressing all potential undercurrents.

Discussions about the annihilation of the Wind Clan had long since moved underground, becoming an untouchable taboo in the hearts of the academy's disciples.

Besides that, there's the matter of Shi Hao.

In fact, three years ago, Shi Hao had already escaped from the Primordial Ancient Mine and, just like in the original story, became Wang Xi's war servant.

However, unlike the original story, due to Shi An's annihilation of the Wind Clan, coupled with Huo Ling'er's...

Therefore, he did not hide his identity for long and soon revealed his true form, causing the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to tremble.

This finally put Huo Ling'er, Qing Yi, Taiyin Jade Rabbit and others at ease.

What happened next was almost identical to what was described in the original story.

He went to the trial grounds, entered the boundary tomb, and accepted the Mo Dao, overcoming all obstacles along the way and making great strides on the path of cultivation. His name shines like a bright star in the Heavenly God Academy and even throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Finally, under the world's attention, he resolutely embarked on the most difficult path, which was even regarded as a dead end by his predecessors: "using his own body as a seed". He opened up his own path in the face of the impossible, which shook the heavens and the earth!

The only difference is that, because of Shi An's presence, there is much less overt infighting from the local forces of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The fate of the Wind Clan is enough to make other immortal families think twice before targeting Shi Hao.

Over the course of three years, Shi Hao stirred up a storm in the outside world, endured trials and tribulations, and grew rapidly.

Meanwhile, Shi An remained deep within the Purple Bamboo Cave, as silent as an abyss, with only the increasingly terrifying chaotic Dao sounds indicating the earth-shattering transformation taking place within his body.

Until this day.

"boom!"

An unprecedentedly loud tremor, like an ancient thunderclap, resounded in the heart of the Heavenly God Academy!
It wasn't from the Purple Bamboo Forest where Shi An was in seclusion, but rather from that seemingly inconspicuous muddy pond guarded by the Great Elder Meng Tianzheng!

Suddenly, the thick, filthy mud shot into the sky like a roaring black dragon, and the mud droplets transformed into countless sharp arrows that flew in all directions.

Then, an indescribable, dazzling divine light, imbued with the aura of ancient immortals, suddenly erupted from the depths of the muddy pond, soaring straight into the sky, instantly tearing apart the clouds of the boundless heavens, and dyeing a large part of the sky into a magnificent and sacred sea of ​​light!

"Buzz... Ding... Dong..."

Moreover, there were also ethereal celestial music flowing from the soaring pillar of light. It was not the music of the mortal world, but the divine voice of the Great Dao, as if ancient immortals were chanting scriptures, or as the afterglow of the collision of laws at the beginning of the world, cleansing the soul and shaking the heart of the Dao.

The spiritual energy of the entire Heavenly God Academy instantly surged, frantically converging towards the muddy pond.

Immediately afterwards, at the core of that pillar of light, under the horrified gazes of countless disciples, a deafening roar, seemingly emanating from the very edge of the primordial world and heavy enough to crush stars, resounded.

"Bang!!!" At the bottom of the muddy pond, an unimaginably huge ancient stone door, engraved with countless long-lost primitive runes and flowing with the luster of copper rust from the years, slowly and heavily opened inward amidst a deafening roar and swirling immortal light and chaotic energy!
Then, a vast and boundless wave, as if it had accumulated countless years and contained the aura of the ancient times or even earlier, surged out from the open door like a sleeping prehistoric beast awakening, instantly sweeping across the entire Heavenly God Academy!

The underworld has been opened!
"Boom!"

As a result, on the other side, the Purple Bamboo Cave, which had been silent for three years, also erupted with a deafening roar, making the entire Heavenly God Academy seem as if it had been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer!
In an instant, the vast purple aura that had enveloped the cave for three years was swallowed up by an invisible giant whale, all of it swept back into the cave and disappeared without a trace.

Then, an indescribable, powerful aura, like a sleeping ancient god or demon awakening, suddenly erupted!
"boom!"

At this moment, the space outside the cave twisted and cracked inch by inch, revealing the bizarre and turbulent deep void behind it.

At the same time, a chaotic pillar of light, as thick as a mountain, shot straight into the sky from the top of the cave, fiercely piercing through the vast sky of Wuliangtian!

Within the pillar of light, twelve towering phantoms of laws and demons could be vaguely seen surrounding and guarding it, with chaotic energy permeating the air, stars rising and falling, and the primordial scene of the beginning of the universe and the formation of all things.

What followed was a heavy pressure that surpassed even the gods, and even made the Void Dao Realm experts feel suffocated, as if facing a vast starry sky. Like a tangible tide, it instantly swept across the entire Heavenly God Academy!
In an instant, countless ancient and powerful auras were drawn across the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths by these two earth-shattering auras that erupted almost simultaneously. They crossed endless star rivers, pierced through boundary walls, and locked onto the turbulent center of the Heavenly God Academy with undisguised astonishment and shock!

As time passed, the stone gate of the cave at the center of the pillar of light silently turned to dust.

A figure slowly stepped out.

It was Shi An.

At this moment, his clothes were as before, yet spotless. There was no divine light or runes surrounding him, only a sense of returning to simplicity and a profound tranquility that encompassed the universe within a mustard seed.

That is the stillness of power restrained to the extreme, containing the mighty force capable of shaking galaxies within the small space of flesh and blood.

Beneath his body, it seemed as if the pulse of billions of stars was contained, and with each heartbeat, it was as if chaotic divine thunder was roaring in the miniature embryo of the universe.

And those deep eyes, with a fleeting glimpse of chaotic light as they open and close, seem to hold the image of creation and destruction within them.

At the same time, a majestic aura originating from the essence of life naturally spread out, causing all living beings that sensed this aura to unconsciously feel an urge to prostrate themselves in worship, as if facing the first wisp of the Dao at the beginning of the world, facing the mother that nurtured all things.

"Brother An!"

A call filled with three years of longing and waiting rang out, tinged with barely suppressed excitement and a sob.

Yunxi, the purple figure who had been waiting outside the cave for three whole years, now transformed into a streak of light like a phoenix returning to its nest, carrying a fragrant breeze and glistening tears, and rushed into the arms of the figure who had just stepped out of the pillar of chaos.

She hugged Shi An tightly, as if she wanted to pour all the longing she had felt over the past three years into this embrace.

For three years, she had been waiting outside the cave, and now that he had finally emerged from seclusion, how could she not be overjoyed?

Looking at the trembling beauty in his arms, her eyes brimming with tears, the fierce, chaotic light in Shi An's eyes, powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth, instantly transformed into a vast expanse of gentle waves.

He extended his long, strong fingers, his movements as gentle as if touching the most precious glass in the world, and gently wiped away the tears on Yunxi's cheeks.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting so long again."

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it contained some kind of profound rhythm, bringing peace to the mind.
