Chapter 1614 - Immortal Domain
Immortal text, these were long life characters!
On Imperial Pa.s.s’ side, the transformation the creatures of the various clans pursued was precisely that of becoming a true immortal!
The meteorite was extremely st.u.r.dy, gray-brown in color. In the past, it had been burned by extreme temperatures, previously melting and crystallizing, developing a metallic s.h.i.+ne.
This was a human form creature who was laying on the ground, body withered and shriveled, flesh dried up. His hair was like yellow weeds, body laid there unmoving.
The blood on the floor was extremely striking, all of this his blood. One could see that there were openings on his right hand’s fingers, still carrying golden traces, while the left hand finger had dark black blood spots.
Those characters were written by his two hands, one person having golden and black blood at the same time. This was extremely strange and shocking.
“Protectors’ bloodline!”
s.h.i.+ Hao was extremely shocked. He immediately guessed at this person’s ident.i.ty. It was because he sensed a similar aura as Dugu Yun’s from his body.
His blood could be golden, and could also be pitch-black. Dugu Yun had previously revealed this.
They were all saying that the Nine Heavens’ bloodline didn’t belong to the Nine Heavens, but rather came from a strange place. Now, this was confirmed!
Was it right here? Behind this stone gate? However, they couldn’t return!
Dugu Clan had some powerful clansmen, even though their population was extremely small, it was definitely not as simple as just one or two people. This person managing to return to this place with great difficulty wasn’t all that strange, but he still left this world while carrying great regret.
“He was incredibly powerful when he was alive!” This was Sanzang’s conclusion. How could those who could write immortal text be ordinary?
However, this person was just like all creatures who died here, encountering similar troubles, or perhaps it could be said a similar disaster. After dying, all of his essence energy disappeared, even the dao laws and symbols vanished.
Now, he didn’t have a bit of magical force left, no divine force fluctuations present.
Otherwise, the corpse of this type of exceptional expert, even if more than a great era had pa.s.sed, it would still be extremely difficult to approach it. His dao skills when he was alive were extremely terrifying.
As a member of the protectors, being able to write immortal text, moreover appear here, one could imagine just how extraordinary he was!
Back then, he was definitely a world dominating expert!
Unfortunately, he died while carrying regret just like that.
Behind the stone gate, was there another world?
This pa.s.sage, where did it truly lead?
The home of the protectors, was it just behind these gates?
There were always rumors that in that world the protectors were nothing more than a single community, that there were other ancient and powerful families that were terrifying beyond compare!
If this was the case, then that ancient land would be simply unimaginable.
What kind of place was it exactly? If just a small portion of one of the ancient communities were already known as the protectors of the Nine Heavens, just how terrifying of a thing was this?
At the same time, s.h.i.+ Hao also knew that if Imperial Pa.s.s’ creatures managed to wait for reinforcements, they would definitely come from that place!
For example, Jin Taijun boldly stated that after five hundred years, a certain mysterious land would send powerful reinforcements, would hurry over. That was naturally also referring to that place.
Apart from this, according to their speculations, when the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were defeated by the other side, the enemy forces invading, in the end, they encountered interference. This interference should also be the creatures of that place taking action.
What other dormant existences did the Nine Heavens have to face the other side’s undying kings? If one just thought about it, they would know that the mysterious troops came from that secret land!
“Do you all know what kind of secret land lies behind the stone gates?” s.h.i.+ Hao asked Sanzang.
“Immortal Homeland!” He actually gave this reply!
“There are some rumors in Burial Land. The higher levels all know about the existence of that ancient land.” Shenming explained.
Even though they couldn’t be considered part of the higher levels, as Golden Undead Knights, their numbers were extremely few, so their statuses were even a bit higher than Yu Yu, Chi Menghong, and the other emperor clan descendants’.
That was why these two knew some secrets.
“It has quite a few names, Immortal Homeland, Immortal Domain, Pure Land, Immortal Country, and others.” Sanzang said.
Moreover, he said that this place was extremely mysterious, almost impossible to reach.
It was because even the creatures coming from there were extremely careful when leaving that place. As long as they left, they most likely wouldn’t return.
“Immortal Homeland?” s.h.i.+ Hao revealed an expression of surprise. He had previously seen the White Tortoise Carry Immortal immortal medicine. That old tortoise had previously said that it wanted to return to Immortal Homeland.
The so-called Immortal Homeland was actually the territory of immortal families!
“If this type of place exists, why is it so hidden? Also, those creatures who leave that place, why can’t they return? Could it be that even true immortals can not return after leaving that place?”
s.h.i.+ Hao had too many questions he was wondering about!
“The Burial Kings had previously said that that is the foundation of immortal families. Out of fear of having their source become contaminated, those who leave may never return. The secrets touching upon the world’s most terrifying great events!” Shenming actually said this.
This left s.h.i.+ Hao horrified. Just what kind of problem was there exactly, for them to hide it like this?
Could it be that the current territory -- the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, something was wrong with it, that there were hidden dangers?
According to what Sanzang and Shenming said, the foreign undying kings and the others all knew about the existence of Immortal Homeland. All of their preparations for war, what they were most scared of were precisely the creatures of that place!
“Endless years ago, Immortal Homeland was connected to the Nine Heavens, one could come and go in between. However, later on, because of a few events, the path was severed. Moreover, in that immortal territory, an intense change took place.”
These words left s.h.i.+ Hao extremely shocked.
“Endless years ago, some things the entire world knew about, after experiencing the baptism of time, now, they are all merely legends, becoming rumors.” Shenming said with a sigh.
“When people of later generations see our world, they would also be like this. What they understand would only be superficial, the truth long hidden.” Sanzang’s expression was ice-cold.
“Indeed. Perhaps in even later generations, Immortal Ancient will be viewed as the generation of true immortals, while our era, what would it be called? The great era of darkness, or perhaps era of chaos?” s.h.i.+ Hao sighed with sorrow.
“There are Burial Kings who previously said with sighs, that we might all become ashes of history.” Sanzang said.
“Why?” s.h.i.+ Hao felt a chill run through his body.
“This great era, the so-called truth has all been buried, many powerful individuals doomed to become nameless, destroyed in the dark times. What is left behind for later generations will only be an eternal tranquility.” Sanzang said.
“I have to continue living, witness the truth, see who can cover all of this up!” s.h.i.+ Hao said calmly. He wanted to become stronger, to become an existence who could continue living, and not a ‘p.a.w.n’ that would be wiped out along with the great era.
“After the great era is wiped out, there will naturally be those who will scatter seeds, leave behind some dao books for inheritance, as well as the so-called historical facts. Then, a reincarnation would begin once more.” Sanzang laughed, extremely profound and unfathomable, eyes vacant. This didn’t match his normal pure and holy temperament.
“Another instance of reincarnation is starting?” At this moment, Shenming also released a sigh, her eyes becoming terrifyingly deep!
For some reason, s.h.i.+ Hao felt his scalp go numb, fine hairs standing on end. It wasn’t out of shock towards their words, but rather feeling like these two’s temperaments weren’t quite right.
Their last words made one feel as if this wasn’t like two young creatures, but more like two wise and ancient beings!
s.h.i.+ Hao couldn"t help but think back to the Prison of Darkness. Primordial spirits could escape from that place!
The two Golden Undead Knights were sometimes like themselves, but sometimes gave off strange feelings that were a bit terrifying.
“Yi, what are those Lightning Spirits doing?”
In the distance, several hundred Lightning Spirits were wandering about this place, carefully searching for something. Then, they actually placed the woven mat on a meteorite.
They began to arrange themselves, producing strange formations, chanting all types of extremely strange ancient incantations, as if they were summoning something.
“They want to enter the world behind the stone gates!” Sanzang said.
Now, s.h.i.+ Hao was already sure that this was indeed a great world, one that might very well far exceed the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, a vast and boundless place.
Only, the truth had always been hidden, no one truly understanding.
Immortal Ancient was wiped out, the creatures of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were almost completely eradicated, so not knowing anything about past events naturally made sense.
The Lightning Spirits wanted to bring the corpse on the woven mat into Immortal Homeland?
Unfortunately, the stone gates were tightly shut. No matter how powerful these Lightning Spirits were, there was no way they could move it, the incantations they chanted ineffective.
Yi?
Shenming cried out in alarm, her expression full of shock as she looked at the Lightning Spirits.
They undid a corner of the woven mat, kowtowing there, continuously bowing in wors.h.i.+p. In the end, a sphere of light rose from the woven mat, releasing dazzling radiance!
Then, that sphere of light flickered about, appearing before the stone gate.
“What is that? A supreme treasure the ancient emperor carries on him?”
“Is it his weapon?”
Something shocking happened. That sphere of light smashed into the stone gate, making it release sinister radiance. It was no longer simple and ancient, no longer quiet, the stone gate almost transparent.
Then, endless patterns extended outwards, reviving on the stone gates, flowing like molten iron.
Hong!
Suddenly, the stone gates immediately became resplendent. Its radiance illuminated the endless past, everlasting and undying!
“Two characters have appeared!”
s.h.i.+ Hao was shocked. He could still see it clearly even while standing quite far away. There were two ancient characters on the stone gates, within them stored great dao aura. It immediately made the heavens tremble!
“Immortal Domain!” Sanzang recognized them, speaking out these two words.
