Chapter 818
Bloodstained Evil Mist in the Mystic Realm of the Great Void
The moment Wang Yu's divine sense touched the mustard seed, a magnificent palace appeared in his consciousness, and the bloodline aura belonging to the Qilin clan became increasingly intense.
Wang Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, but still decided to step inside.
Its form was enveloped by the laws of space, rapidly shrinking and being sucked into this mustard seed space.
In the blink of an eye.
The world has changed, and I am now standing inside an exceptionally grand palace, its size and height unknown, with only a magnificent view of the starry sky reflected on it like a curtain.
The hall has no pillars, but instead features ancient records carved with bas-reliefs of Qilin (mythical creatures), totaling twenty-two images on both sides, with exquisite craftsmanship that makes them appear lifelike.
This also allowed Wang Yu to recognize the content depicted in the pattern based on his memory.
"The Five Elements Ancient Emperor, the Blood Scale Ancient Emperor, the Purple Sun Ancient Emperor, the Profound Ink Ancient Emperor, the Time and Space Ancient Emperor, the Nourishing Ancient Emperor, the Heavenly Fire Ancient Emperor..."
Without exception, the murals and reliefs are all like this.
All of them were ancient emperors who had appeared in the Qilin clan. These were immortal beings comparable to true immortals. If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon seizing the Dao and obtaining the memories of the Qilin bloodline, they would have been lost.
He couldn't even recognize it. In the universally acknowledged history of the Cosmic Sea, the page belonging to the Qilin Clan had long been forgotten, and only the Dragon Court still had a large number of ancient records.
'What kind of being is the Heavenly Fortune Ancient Emperor... and what does he mean to the Qilin Clan? Or is it simply because this is his place of inheritance that he placed himself last?'
The more you know, the more questions you have.
Wang Yu's confusion was temporarily unresolved, but he was well aware of the significance of the words "True Immortals are immortal." Even the Daoist Master of Burial Immortals, who had been dormant for countless years, would one day return.
The more thoroughly the Qilin clan is wiped out, the more it proves the immense terror behind it, which is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
As the pace progressed.
Wang Yu carefully counted and found that there were twenty-two ancient emperors in his memory inheritance who he could recognize, and nine others that he could not recognize.
The relief patterns have also completely deviated from the appearance of the Qilin clan.
It is unknown when it existed.
finally.
At the innermost part of the hall, behind a golden curtain, lies an enormous relief carving, its entire body radiant with golden scales, its four feet entwined with auspicious cloud-like smoke.
Its shoulders and legs are adorned with imposing armor, and its head stands upright like a dragon. This dragon's appearance is not ferocious, but rather exudes a peaceful and serene aura.
Blessings arrive from the heart.
Wang Yu realized that this was the Heavenly Fortune Ancient Emperor, and also the earliest primitive form of the Qilin Clan—the auspicious beast Qilin!
The subsequent branches of the Qilin bloodline are all unique immortal bodies that have been promoted after ascending to immortality and attaining the Dao, due to the changes brought about by their respective Dao fruits.
Furthermore, due to the inheritance of bloodlines, various kinds of Qilin bloodlines have emerged. Ultimately, the most original form should be the "auspicious beast Qilin" shown in the relief!
'Could this be the place where the legacy is passed down?'
With these doubts in mind, Wang Yu observed carefully, his heart filled with anticipation.
after all.
The power of cause and effect is extremely high, and it has brought him substantial benefits more than once. Now, with his improved realm, the effect is even greater than before.
With the added boost from the Three Thousand Weak Water Realms, he certainly wouldn't believe there wasn't some hidden secret.
Sudden.
Wang Yu's eyes flickered. In the lower left corner of the relief, beside a cloud, a pattern resembling half a mirror was vaguely visible. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch it.
A thin ray of light emerged from the relief, engulfing him in the mural and making him disappear. The entire palace was restored to its original state, as if no one had ever appeared.
…………
Dark space.
A strange beast with a blue face, fangs, four legs treading on the air, and wings on its back suddenly appeared, its bulging, frog-like eyes covered with a layer of lightning.
He glanced around and muttered to himself in confusion.
"What's going on? I clearly sensed an extremely powerful lightning law appearing here, but then it disappeared, leaving behind the lingering aura of heavenly might. Could it be..."
"—Heavenly Tribulation!!!"
The Five Thunder Demon Lord realized that it was not the thunderous treasure he had imagined that had appeared, but rather that the Qilin Child who had previously led all his fellow cultivators had undergone tribulation.
"In other words, he is undergoing tribulation to enter the Mahayana realm here. Judging from his previous realm and speed, at such a distance, unless he is a Thunder-Swallowing Beast, he would not be able to sense the abnormality here."
"Most likely, they rushed here as soon as they entered the Starry Sky Ruins. Their target was so clear. Qilinzi... Could it be that he really knows the secrets of the Immortal Abode?"
After a moment's thought, the Five Thunder Demon Lord deduced a great deal of information and immediately focused even more intently on searching the surrounding area, not even letting go of the spatial interlayers, scanning every inch.
Don't say it.
He actually discovered the mysterious mustard seed space that had been pushed out by the Heavenly Might.
"Hahahaha, this is the perfect opportunity for me!"
In a flash, he transformed.
When the Thunder-Swallowing Beast transformed into a human, he was actually a handsome young man. However, his hair was blue and white with a gradient like lightning, his mouth was quite large, and his eyes were long, making him look even more demonic!
His face was beaming with excitement, but his hands were quite practical as he directly summoned his natal demon treasure, a ruler-shaped object.
This is the Five Thunder Ruler, capable of controlling the mysteries of thunder.
The rank of this top-grade Heavenly Profound Treasure has never appeared on the list before. Most of the treasures on the Heavenly Profound List are left behind by predecessors after being refined.
Since it is not a natal item, the ranking on that list is only for reference. Even if a stronger Heavenly Profound Treasure appears, it is not impossible.
After casting several layers of protective spiritual shields on himself and placing multiple round mirror spiritual treasures on his chest, the Five Thunder Demon Lord slowly touched the mustard seed space and disappeared into the dark depths of space.
He displayed the prudence characteristic of those who have attained the perfection of Mahayana Buddhism.
at the same time.
Throughout the third level, "Starry Sky Ruins," chaos ensued as treasures were unearthed from the ruins, with all sorts of supernatural powers and magical artifacts emerging one after another.
Many ancient land ruins were completely destroyed.
This horde of creatures swept through the land like locusts, leaving destruction in their wake, until... the ruins of an ancient battlefield, accumulated with countless years of bloodlust, were shattered.
Extremely ferocious, and steeped in the bloody filth and evil mist accumulated over countless years, it swept across the vast starry sky of the entire third level like a shockwave!
This group of Mahayana-perfect beings has been discovered.
From the shattered ancient battlefield, a large number of mindless corpse demons crawled out. Their withered appearance and tattered bodies were clearly those of the Qilin clan.
Now transformed into a demon, though not as powerful as in its former life.
There are countless corpse demons that can rival Mahayana cultivators. In addition, there is another type of corpse that is completely black, has demonic horns on its head, and looks very similar to the creatures of the Primordial Demon Realm.
For now, they'll call them demon corpses.
It possesses a strange power capable of eroding the laws of Dao Fruit, greatly affecting the effectiveness of the laws. For those who have reached the Great Perfection stage, this is no less than removing their strongest means.
Even more terrifying is that the number of demonic corpses and Qilin demonic corpses is endless. The destruction of the ancient battlefield is like a starting gun signal, causing the corpses in the entire starry ruins to come back to life.
Despite the sheer number of Mahayana Perfection cultivators entering the inheritance grounds, this vast group did not exceed fifty. They were scattered throughout the star ruins, each harboring grudges or racial feuds.
Forget about joining forces; we can only hide and survive in a sorry state.
at this time.
The White Lotus Fairy and several righteous human celestial beings are hiding on the semi-immortal treasure, the Pure World White Lotus, which has protected them from the erosion of the blood and evil mist, and they are temporarily concealed.
One of the fair-skinned, plump Taoist priests had a worried expression.
His facial features had formed a "囧" shape.
"Oh dear, this is terrible! I told you not to go in, not to go in, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, we're all doomed. We still don't know how to get past the third level, and now we've run into these monstrous creatures..."
"Shut up!" A middle-aged man glared at him and said with displeasure.
"You call yourself a disciple of a Qi Immortal? With such little courage, how will you ever become an immortal?"
The fair-skinned, chubby man said, feeling wronged.
"I never wanted to become an immortal. It was my eldest brother who was the one Master valued for immortality. I'm just someone who manages the money..."
One Qi Immortal is the last of the nine immortals of the human race to attain enlightenment, and is the most recent in history. His territory is called the Vast Realm. His presence in the Vast Immortal Palace is not strong, and he has always kept a low profile.
The method of accepting disciples is also in accordance with the way of the Tai Xuan Karma True Immortal, following the path of fate and elites. The number of disciples is only twelve or thirteen, and they are all still alive.
This fat Taoist priest was his thirteenth disciple.
He calls himself "Yue Shisan" and has some understanding of the way of divination of celestial secrets, but his fighting methods are more inclined to the Lingbao Heaven's style.
Besides the two arguing individuals, there was another person in the group, who appeared to be a child, sitting sideways on the edge of the Pure World White Lotus, gazing absently at the bloody, filthy, and evil mist outside.
This person calls himself "Jin Yutong" and is a servant of Wen Dan by Shui Yuntian and Ye Lan Shenjun. He was born a virgin due to practicing a special technique in his youth.
This drawback can be resolved by condensing the Dao Fruit.
However, because he wanted to stay by the side of Lord Yelan, he deliberately kept his virginity. As a result... you can tell from where he is now.
Lord Yelan has set him free.
He didn't say the reason, and no one could force him to reveal it. After all, that deity was the only female immortal among the Nine Immortals, and was uniquely called a deity rather than an immortal, so there must be some secret behind it.
As a result, Jin Yutong was somewhat detached from the four-person team, and the other three were hesitant to get close to her for fear of being misunderstood.
Seeing the two arguing, he didn't say anything more.
He only said this to the White Lotus Fairy.
"Those Qilin demon corpses are alright, but those demon corpses are basically the corpses of demons, right? The strange power possessed by the resurrected monstrous creatures is something I've never heard of before."
"What does Senior Sister Bai Lian think? Is this really normal?"
Upon hearing this, the White Lotus Fairy silently sensed the memory seal in her Niwan Palace. It was the work of her master, the Red Lotus Saint, who was already a Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal and had been famous for a long time!
After thinking for a moment, he still spoke.
"Those are not the corpses of demons. Just remember this. As for the power possessed by those monstrous creatures... you will know once you have participated in the Battle of Ten Thousand Races."
"This involves secrets that I cannot explain in detail to you."
Having said that, no one else was going to press the issue.
Only the middle-aged Taoist priest asked in confusion.
"Isn't this the site of the ancient emperor's inheritance? Why would such a monstrous creature appear here? Could it be that the calamity faced by the Qilin clan back then was caused by these monsters? But placing them in the immortal abode... it just doesn't make sense."
Upon hearing this, Yue Shisan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I didn't realize it until now. How could the layout of the Immortal Abode have foreshadowed this calamity before the extinction of the Qilin Clan? Could it be that the ancient emperor here had the ability to foresee the future?"
"Hard to say."
The White Lotus Fairy paused for a moment before continuing.
"But what you said has reminded me that these demonic corpses must have been deliberately placed here. Let's go search the ruins and see if there's anything that can counter them."
"Indeed, since it is a test of inheritance, there must be a way to break it. If not, we will devise another plan!"
…………
Just as chaos erupted in the Starry Sky Ruins.
On Wang Yu's side, however, there was a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Nearly half an hour had passed since he touched the relief that resembled the [Chenglu Taixu Mirror].
At that time, he was transformed into a Qilin cub, in a strange heavenly palace that seemed both real and illusory. Here, he stood above the clouds, with all kinds of palaces stretching for thousands of miles, countless in number.
Phoenixes, dragons, and all sorts of rare and exotic beasts raced through the clouds, appearing as real creatures from afar, but shattering like a dream upon closer inspection.
For a full half hour, he had explored most of the Heavenly Palace, but still hadn't found any clues.
at the moment.
He, in the form of a Qilin cub, was squatting under a World Tree, with the only path in front of him that did not shatter upon his approach.
This is an elderly man with a white beard wearing a gold-covered mask and a simple linen robe. He is reclining on a jade bamboo mat, holding an ancient scroll, and reading it with great interest.
Seeing him squatting there, she only glanced at him.
But this brief interaction left Wang Yu even more confused. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously peered over, wanting to see the contents of the ancient scroll as well.
This made the old man slightly annoyed, and he pushed him away.
'this……'
Wang Yu's eyes widened, and he touched his head where he had just been touched, completely bewildered.
They quickly realized that this was no simple illusion; even the illusion of "Life is but a Dream, Immortal Root" was far inferior to this strange place.
So he tried to speak.
"Sir, do you know where this place is?"
The latter ignored it.
He asked again.
"Sir, where is this..."
The old man wearing the golden mask turned over, his back to him, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge him.
Wang Yu quickly went around it.
"Sir..."
"Are you ever going to stop?!"
Who would have thought?
The old man's eyes widened, and he pointed the scroll outside.
"Since you, thief, have the luck to enter this place, then just wait patiently. If you are destined, you will naturally get what you want. If you are not, there is no use in pestering me."
"thief?"
"What, you think you can hide your true form just because you're wearing a Qilin skin? You've taken so many benefits, and you still want to try and cheat me? No good!"
"The inheritance of destiny is all about fate and luck. What is meant for you will always be yours, and even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, it will not change. Come and talk to me again after you have resolved your fatal calamity."
That's all.
With a flick of his hand, Wang Yu tumbled and flew out of the ground beneath the World Tree, his form having already transformed from a Qilin cub back into his true form.
Not only was the Heavenly Demon's Myriad Transformations exposed, but he was also forced back to his original form. This was a situation that Wang Yu had never expected and was the first time he had encountered it.
Ultimately, it was his physical condition that held him back.
He had several guesses about the old man's identity, but he didn't dare to confirm them yet.
Regarding his claim of a "death calamity".
He quickly sensed a strange yet powerful aura and arrived at this peculiar place, his expression immediately becoming solemn.
"Beings who have attained the perfect Mahayana state..." (End of Chapter)
