Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 289 Separating Two Realms, Rewards
In the extraterritorial void, that mysterious being walked on the cauldron, chasing at extreme speed, surpassing time. Everything seemed to be reversing, terrifying to the extreme. The Heavenly Emperor descended, with long hair scattered, divine might unmatched. His eyes were extremely deep, as if about to penetrate all ages and see through the secrets of heaven.
He was an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor, who attained Dao in later generations and invaded the Immortal Realm. Now, he had even opened up the river of time, coming upstream and descending into this era.
"You, should leave."
In the desert, calm words came from the ancient chariot. Immortal King An Lan was speaking.
The person on the cauldron did not speak, but slowly descended, stepping on the Myriad Things Origin Energy Cauldron, like an ancient sacred mountain pressing down. The wild oxen pulling An Lan's chariot were terrified, their bones creaking. Their four leg bones quickly gave way and completely broke, leaving them prostrate there!
"We cannot fight. If we really do, this time and space, the world behind you, will undergo tremendous changes," An Lan said, still very calm in the face of this unparalleled being.
"I really want to kill you, then go back." With a sigh, the person walking on the cauldron spoke, with regret and a hint of helplessness.
He really wanted to attack, but as An Lan said, if he attacked at this time, both time and space would change drastically, causing great chaos, the sky would collapse, and the earth would sink, the years would be in chaos, and even everything would cease to exist.
"You can try it. Even if I carry the Heavenly Abyss and need one hand to hold up the Original Emperor City, I, An Lan, am still invincible in the world!" An Lan said with a faint smile, extremely self-confident!
But he indeed had the capital to be self-confident. This was an ancient king who had nailed and killed Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens, undefeated in countless battles, and had long cultivated an invincible aura, unafraid of everything in the world.
"I don't belong to the same time and space as you, and I really can't change anything, nor can I do anything." The mysterious man sighed softly. Time cannot be reversed, at least not with his current realm, "This is not the first time I have crossed the river of time, but unfortunately, like this time, it is not the era I wanted to witness. I have not understood, where does that anomaly come from?"
The words of this being shocked Guling, who was transformed. Just now, Ye Fan clearly mentioned "anomaly." These words were not in the original trajectory.
Obviously, a change occurred in the future, possibly due to him, or possibly due to the mysterious True Immortal he encountered last time. Their existence led to an anomaly in later generations, and it was so serious that even beings like Ye Fan could not ignore it. It must be extremely serious.
"Leave, staying in this time and space for a long time is not good for you. Maybe I won't keep you, and you yourself will be damaged!" While Jiang Xuan was pondering, An Lan also spoke indifferently. He did not deny that the being in front of him was strong, with unparalleled talent, but they were not beings from the same time and space, and it was difficult to have a chance to fight.
Ye Fan did not speak, expressing his attitude with action. The great cauldron flew horizontally, almost hitting An Lan. This was a provocation. An Lan did not show weakness, but he was somewhat apprehensive, ordering the millions of troops of the foreign land to retreat. However, even so, the collision of the auras of the two unparalleled beings made the figures of countless beings illusory, as if they were about to disappear completely.
But at this time, above the Emperor Pass, Shi Hao also showed anomalies. A drop of blood appeared, dazzling and piercing, emerging from his body. But soon, the blood began to spread, as if it was about to turn into a sea. Supreme power surged, shaking the Emperor Pass and the desert.
"The reincarnation of a drop of blood!" Jiang Xuan looked at this scene. This drop of blood had appeared in the Emperorfall Era, then in the Desolate Ancient Era, and finally came to this life.
This was a drop of blood that had crossed the river of time, not existing in the present, nor in the past or future, but it had witnessed eras. This drop of blood originally belonged to Shi Hao. He transformed freely, he transformed into eternity. In each time and space, there was a similar drop of blood.
The fact that this drop of blood still existed proved that Shi Hao in the future still reached that step, to truly become an Emperor, but was blown apart, and hundreds of millions of strands of blood fell into hundreds of millions of time and space, cultivating life after life, to return in the final moment.
The He Transforms Freely Great Method was said to be a method from the Emperorfall Era, but in reality, it was created by Shi Hao. Like the Shrouding Heaven Method, there was a paradox in time. This kind of method was indeed unimaginable.
Just like now, that drop of blood was evolving this method, transforming into unparalleled experts, displaying all their skills before their death, to fight in this life.
Even the ancient ancestor An Lan could not hold the Emperor City with one hand and carry the Heavenly Abyss on his back, let alone protect the millions of troops of the foreign land. He could only order them to temporarily retreat to the other side of the Heavenly Abyss. Even the Original Emperor City was temporarily held up by the ancient ancestor Yu Tuo.
"Looking for a beating!"
Accompanied by Shi Hao's soft shout, above his head, chaotic mist billowed, and a Dao platform emerged, with living beings sitting on it, and reincarnation imprints flowing, actually walking out from it!
Originally, it was a one-on-one decisive battle, but now it changed again. That drop of blood was very strange, transforming into two well-known experts in ancient history, from the past and the future, and together with Shi Hao, who had fused with that drop of blood, they suppressed and besieged An Lan, even An Lan suffered losses because of this, his body was severely damaged, and he flew horizontally, coughing up blood, suffering serious injuries.
This was an unimaginable thing. The Immortal King who once fought in the Nine Heavens and nailed the Immortal King was now suppressed by the experts transformed by a drop of blood. Of course, having reached the King Realm, it was already difficult to kill. The Yuan Shen (primordial spirit) was almost immortal. Even if it was an expert of the same level, it would take a long time to obliterate an King completely.
Moreover, now it was just a drop of blood causing trouble. Even if it was strong, it was indeed as the foreign land beings thought, it could not last long, and would eventually dissipate.
However, just as An Lan entered the Heavenly Abyss, wanting to use the power of the Heavenly Abyss's laws to suppress the great enemy, the Original Emperor City suddenly began to burn, and the raging fire illuminated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It actually began to disintegrate, erupting with the most extreme power.
"Hmm? Not good!"
Yu Tuo and An Lan's expressions changed drastically, but it was too late. The Heavenly Abyss collapsed, and the sky above actually exploded. Red order turned into a waterfall, and then turned into a blood-colored ocean, vast and mighty, falling down. Above, there was even a red light that covered the sky, that was order, that was the rule of heaven, to suppress the two Immortal Kings.
Since ancient times, the terror of the Heavenly Abyss was known to both realms. This was a gathering place of laws, an interwoven area of Great Dao patterns, which could suppress supreme experts. Legend has it that it was created by the beings of the Immortal Realm in the past. It was an ancient universe that was cut off and covered here.
If you want to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you must cross the Heavenly Abyss. Previously, An Lan carried the Heavenly Abyss on his back and held the Original Emperor City in his hand, which allowed millions of troops from the foreign land to descend on the borderlands. However, now it was different. The Heavenly Abyss collapsed, and the entire ancient universe was collapsing, to eternal annihilation.
One star after another was exploding, connecting into a piece. The energy fluctuations were terrifying, making the immortal beings shudder. Although it was broken, it had once been a universe. The explosion of the stars would be difficult for even immortal beings to withstand.
The most terrifying thing was that the Heavenly Abyss was originally a gathering place of myriad Dao laws. Now that it breached, one red order divine chain after another pierced through the sky and the earth, like an ocean of order laws, submerging everything and completely isolating the two realms!
Everyone knew that the two realms would definitely not be able to communicate with each other in a short period of time. The sea of laws had breached, and even the Immortal King could not stop it. It would not be possible to cross it for hundreds of years.
But this was not a good thing. Hundreds of years later, without the protection of the Heavenly Abyss, it would be easier for the foreign land to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Unwilling, it can't be like this, that thing must be taken back!" An Lan, who had escaped the suppression of the laws, looked at this scene and couldn't help but roar, and then let out a long roar, and then stretched out a big hand and grabbed forward.
The sea of laws eroded. Even if he was as strong as an Immortal King, when that hand passed through the Heavenly Abyss, it was also a forest of white bones, with not a trace of flesh and blood visible.
But that hand did not stop, it was constantly enlarging, covering the sky and the sun, traversing the Emperor Pass, directly entering the Three Thousand Provinces, and forcibly grabbing the Sin Province, submerging into the sea of blood-colored laws, and retreating towards the foreign land!
In the foreign land, Jiang Xuan saw that returning bone palm, holding an ancient province in his palm, which An Lan had made smaller with great magical powers. The creatures in it were devastated, and very few survived.
"Alas..."
Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart. This was the power of the Immortal King. Even if it was just one hand passing through the pass, it caused unimaginable slaughter. It easily wiped out several large provinces along the way, and hundreds of millions of lives were lost.
However, Jiang Xuan also tried his best to recover the situation. The incarnations in the Three Thousand Provinces had already taken away a group of promising seedlings before the war, and also took away Huo Ling'er.
He didn't know whether taking Huo Ling'er away was right or wrong. After all, the Three Thousand Provinces were about to enter the end of the law era, where longevity would no longer exist, even immortal medicines would degenerate, and darkness would descend at the same time.
But with Huo Ling'er's feelings for Shi Hao, if Shi Hao had not gone to the Immortal Realm, she would definitely not go either, and her future life and death would be unpredictable.
The war was over, and the various races of the foreign land were also preparing to return to their homeland. They did not send immortal beings to forcibly cross the Heavenly Abyss again. After all, it would cost a lot to cross it now, and the appearance of beings like Jiang Xuan in the Nine Heavens had also made them fearful.
Before they could determine whether there were any beings of the same level as Jiang Xuan, the Immortal King did not rashly send beings across.
After that, An Lan and Yu Tuo, the two Immortal Kings, also summoned Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan was indeed seriously injured. After all, how extraordinary was the vision of the Immortal King, any lack of effort on either side could expose him.
Therefore, before the war, he also sealed the characteristic of communicating memories with other incarnations, and fought with all his might, which was also a gamble.
Fortunately, he did so, so he did not reveal any flaws. Even the two ancient ancestors did not see any clues, because Jiang Xuan's two incarnations fought with the determination to die.
"You have made great contributions in this battle, and you deserve a reward. What do you want?"
An Lan's expression was indifferent. His hand had already recovered. Now he held the Sin Province in his hand, standing side by side with the ancient ancestor Yu Tuo.
"This junior did not kill a great enemy, and dare not take credit."
Jiang Xuan's expression was pale. Although it was easy to resolve the injuries he had caused, now was not the time.
"Those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who have faults should be punished. You seriously injured the True Immortal of the Nine Heavens and made great contributions, so you should be rewarded." Yu Tuo said. This time, the war against the Nine Heavens, although only An Lan and Yu Tuo appeared, there were still several ancient ancestors contributing behind the scenes, and those few edicts were the best proof.
In addition, there were many races participating in this battle, so merits and demerits must be clearly distinguished. Jiang Xuan seriously injured the peerless True Immortal of the Nine Heavens in this battle, so he should be rewarded, even if Jiang Xuan's identity as the Gu Clan was very sensitive.
"Yes." Jiang Xuan's expression was as usual, and he did not show any abnormality.
"Alright." Seeing that Jiang Xuan did not speak again, An Lan spoke again, "You have just entered the realm of Immortality. Although your combat power is extraordinary, your foundation is still shallow. I will give you an ancient scripture and a piece of Void Immortal Gold as a reward."
After saying that, An Lan took out two items, one was a bone fragment, with many runes engraved on it, explaining the supreme truth of the Great Dao. This was the law of the foreign land, different from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and had its own extraordinary features.
The other was a piece of Immortal Gold the size of a human head, with a radiant glow, containing endless void, showing the mystery of the void. Even if only a sliver was added, it could refine a treasure.
Now this piece was as big as a human head, completely enough for him to refine an immortal weapon, and this Void Immortal Gold inherently contained the mystery of the void, which was very suitable for the path he was practicing.
"Thank you, ancient ancestor, for bestowing treasures!"
Jiang Xuan said respectfully. Immortal Gold was indeed of great use to him. Previously, Gu Ling's weapon was just a Supreme weapon, but at his current level, a Supreme weapon could not exert his combat power at all. Now that he had obtained this piece of Immortal Gold, he could refine an immortal weapon.
As for an ancient scripture, it was also of great use to him. This was an ancient scripture personally passed down by an ancient ancestor, which must be extraordinary. It could allow him to understand the cultivation methods of the foreign land, and study its advantages and disadvantages, just as the beings of the foreign land studied the Immortal Ancient Law.
"Go." An Lan said, they were also about to leave to investigate whether there was anything they wanted in this Sin Province.
"Yes." Jiang Xuan said respectfully, and then left with the Gu Clan beings who came to participate in the battle, and returned to the ancient domain where the Gu Clan was located.
Several months later, they also returned to the Gu Clan's territory. As soon as he returned here, Jiang Xuan immediately announced to the outside world that he was going into seclusion. No one doubted this, after all, everyone knew that he was seriously injured in this battle, and had been suppressing it until now. It was normal to go into seclusion to recover from his injuries.
But in reality, the injuries caused by the incarnation were easy to resolve. After all, they were originally one person, and the Dao and the law they practiced were completely the same, and the level of understanding was also the same. The laws of the Great Dao were easy to resolve, as for other injuries, they could be recovered easily.
However, after the injuries were healed, Jiang Xuan did not end the seclusion, but began to comprehend the insights he had obtained when he broke into the sixth secret realm. That was an extremely mysterious secret realm, the sublimation of the five major secret realms of the human body and the Yuan Shen, containing its own divine spirit!
That being could be said to be the incarnation of his Dao fruit, with infinite power, able to fight Immortal Kings!
Therefore, even if it was just a moment of breaking in, Jiang Xuan's incarnation's dying blow shook An Lan's war weapon, erupting with a blow no weaker than an Immortal King's.
"My Dao practice is still too shallow, my physical body and Yuan Shen both need to be tempered, and must reach the Immortal King level before I can completely enter the sixth secret realm."
Several years later, Jiang Xuan digested this insight and had a vague understanding of that realm. Now the most lacking was the gap in Dao practice.
Now, he stood at the peak of the Immortal realm, and could fight against quasi-Immortal Kings, but this was not the limit.
You must know that under the Immortal King, in addition to the quasi-Immortal King, there was also the Ten Ferocious, whose physical body could be compared to the Immortal King, and there were also beings whose Yuan Shen and physical body could be compared to the Immortal King, but whose Dao fruit had flaws.
Therefore, his Dao practice was still far from enough, and he needed to go a step further before he could possibly enter that realm.
