Chapter 1250 Fate
Deep within the Spiritual Domain, spiritual energy storms were already visible to the naked eye.
Silver winds tore through space, only for the surrounding spiritual energy to instantly repair it.
This cycle had continued for tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, several supreme beings at the Core Condensation realm stood at the heart of this spiritual energy storm. They were not attracted by the bizarre sights around them, for something far more important lay before their eyes.
All gazes were fixed on Winged God.
More accurately, they were fixed on the key in Winged God's hand.
They had endured countless hardships, even provoking the residual mental power left by the celestial demons from beyond the domain, all for the sole purpose of opening the gate before them!
Now, it was all about to be realized.
The Nascent Soul realm, that legendary realm!
What treasures would be left behind inside?
The eyes of each individual burned with an endless fire, as if a path to the heavens had unfurled before them.
The key in Winged God's hand, though called a key, was in essence no different from a piece of polished top-grade spirit stone.
However, unlike ordinary top-grade spirit stones, this one contained no spiritual energy. Instead, it emanated an ancient and profound aura.
Intricate patterns, etched by some unknown means, were not on the surface of the spirit stone but within it!
Even more astonishing was that the patterns within the spirit stone moved.
Upon close observation, the flowing trajectories revealed the ceaseless circulation of countless stars.
Winged God, with trembling hands, brought the key closer to the ethereal gate.
"Click!"
A peculiar sound immediately drew everyone's attention.
All present tensed, their senses heightened to the extreme.
They had nearly met their end when they provoked the celestial demons from beyond the domain.
Now, with the gate on the verge of opening, any mishap would be utterly devastating.
Winged God's mental energy flickered for half a second, and the key in his hand flew out on its own.
Instantly, all eyes followed the key.
The lines within the key flowed faster and faster as they approached the ethereal gate!
Until finally, the outer shell of top-grade spirit stone could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered into countless fragments.
In that instant!
All the lines surged forth from within!
Like a vast celestial map, they spread out before the eyes of the supreme beings of the Core Condensation realm.
Winged God gazed at the star map, seemingly about to be consumed by it.
Within the map, he saw many things – the secrets of cultivation!
The path forward!
A sudden thought struck Winged God: if he could comprehend this star map, he would undoubtedly take another step forward!
Perhaps he could even directly ascend to the Nascent Soul realm.
At that very moment, the others harbored the same aspiration.
However, the star map was too immense.
So vast, that they could not take it all in at a single glance.
One man attempted to forcibly imprint the star map into his mind with his mental energy, but he failed, suffering a backlash instead!
The mental energy of a supreme being at the Core Condensation realm was insufficient to record the star map before them.
"Do not attempt to absorb it by force. This is, after all, a technique from the Nascent Soul realm!"
Someone reminded him, and he reluctantly withdrew his mental energy.
Meanwhile, Saint Moon Divine Venerable and others, who were en route to the depths of the Spiritual Domain, also noticed the anomaly.
"What is that!"
Despite the great distance, everyone was shaken by the extraordinary spectacle.
An aura of vastness and antiquity permeated the air.
Several individuals at the sixth layer of the Core Condensation realm, overwhelmed by this feeling, shed tears uncontrollably.
Yet, even they did not understand why they were crying.
In that instant, life itself felt like an arduous ordeal.
A profound pain!
The long path of cultivation seemed to stretch endlessly before them.
Even Ling Tianba, standing nearby, was affected.
In Ling Tianba's mind, all his past actions flashed before him.
From the day he entered the Core Condensation realm, he had sworn to make every one of those who had bullied him die by his hand.
Before reaching the Core Condensation realm, he had wandered the mortal world like a stray dog.
They belonged to no faction.
Survival depended solely on struggle.
For those who lived by the pity of others were destined to perish in the end.
Gradually, Ling Tianba succeeded.
At the ninth layer of the Core Condensation realm, he had established a minor power outside the Spiritual Domain.
No one dared to underestimate him. Even supreme beings of the Core Condensation realm would pay him a courtesy visit, specifically because they were in the Spiritual Domain.
"Yes! I must live!"
"I cannot die, I will become the Lord of the Spiritual Domain!"
"The ninth layer of Core Condensation is not my limit, I will reach the supreme realm! I will become even stronger!"
As Ling Tianba's resolve solidified, his gaze became firm.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable, sensing the shift in Ling Tianba's mindset, nodded in approval.
To rise to the ninth layer of the Core Condensation realm from outside the Spiritual Domain, Ling Tianba's Dao heart was indeed strong.
Ling Tianba looked at the others and immediately roused them with his mental energy.
"That is the depths of the Spiritual Domain. It is highly likely a Nascent Soul tomb!"
"Achieve the Nascent Soul realm! Dominate the Spiritual Domain!"
...
Chen Yang looked curiously at Solohal beside him. "Why is that guy crying?"
Bei Xuan and Ruan Dongjun shook their heads; they didn't know either.
After waking Solohal, Chen Yang heard about Solohal's thoughts.
Chen Yang was initially stunned, then understood why he was unaffected by the anomaly.
The growth of trees for nearly ten thousand years had forged Chen Yang's Dao heart into something as solid as a rock.
How could the mere anomaly created by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator possibly break Chen Yang, who had genuinely endured ten thousand years of hardship?
During those ten millennia, Chen Yang had been relentlessly tempering himself.
He had to live, and he had to protect the human passage.
Only then could Liu Ran and the others be safe!
Chen Yang wanted to believe that others could achieve this, but knowing the malicious intentions of the mortal world, Chen Yang understood it was too difficult!
Perhaps the entire human race could not withstand these individuals!
He needed to become stronger, and the entire human race needed to become stronger.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Solohal, you are attached," Bei Xuan remarked calmly from the side.
Solohal naturally did not understand Bei Xuan's words. However, in the next moment, Bei Xuan presented him with a Buddhist teaching scripture.
Seeing this, Ruan Dongjun's eyebrows twitched.
Was Bei Xuan trying to gain followers for Buddhism?
And among the barbarians?
Wouldn't Dean Chen Yang intervene?
If the barbarian chieftain knew about this, would they be angered!
Chen Yang saw everything.
Chen Yang asked leisurely, "Is Solohal destined for Buddhism?"
Bei Xuan was taken aback and quickly coughed. "You are destined for Buddhism too! Yet I don't see you joining us!"
Bei Xuan clearly understood the teasing in Chen Yang's words.
However, Bei Xuan giving Solohal the scripture was not an attempt to recruit him, as that would also be attachment on his part!
After Solohal received the Buddhist scripture, Bei Xuan immediately added, "Do not spread the methods of Buddhism."
