Chapter 383: Sword Ancestor's Visit
There was a hint of solemnity in Gu's eyes.
But in a billionth of a second, Zi Yan's indifferent gaze had passed through the rolling purple air and fell on Him.
Boom!
The world was in eternal silence, and there seemed to be only utter nothingness before one's eyes. Even 'nothingness' itself had become an extremely vague concept.
Things, laws and even Tao no longer exist, as if we have returned to the original state when nothing existed.
Click!
A ray of light representing "opening up" swept across the empty and vast "Hongmeng".
Everything started to make sense.
The pure and spiritual air rises to become the sky, and the turbid and mixed air sinks to become the earth.
Yin and Yang are in order, the Four Symbols come into being, the Five Elements rotate, and myriad paths are created.
Everything from nothingness to emptiness turned into vastness and infinity, and everything that gathered all the laws and began to expand infinitely.
"Failed..." Gu sighed.
Then he broke free from Zi Yan's gaze.
There is no doubt that this gaze has surpassed Dong Zhen's level, but it is not enough to threaten him as the ancestor of the Cang clan.
What really made him shudder was the fluctuation of God's will after the failure of "building the Heavenly Gate".
Huhu~!
Then, the purple air was seen surging and it directly removed those heavenly generals of the Cang clan who were still building the "Sky Pass", leaving only Zi Yan.
The indifferent eyes were no longer like colorful glass, but turned into pure white, staring straight at Gu without any ripples in them.
No thoughts, no intentions, no self.
In the process of building the Heavenly Gate, under the impact of the boundless avenue, or 'Dao Guang', He was unable to maintain His self.
Without the maintenance of the 'self', the gate of heaven that was built with great difficulty collapsed and naturally failed.
Suddenly, a trace of struggle appeared on Zi Yan's face, and a gleam of colorful light flashed in his pure white eyes.
"Ancient...ancestor..."
He uttered the two words with great difficulty, seeming to still maintain the last bit of his true self, but could be completely annihilated at any time under the washing away of the boundless avenue.
Is there any hope?
Gu was a little surprised, but he stopped hesitating.
"Stop and turn, Yuanchen Mo Nong."
Every word uttered seems to be engraved on the ancient rock, full of vicissitudes of life and containing the weight of time.
The human race's method of attaining the Dao of 'Dao Ji' cannot be interfered with.
But this is Xuan's method of 'building a heavenly gate', and there is no precedent for it. Perhaps we can intervene?
The realm of the past is His home turf, and its effects are far greater than those of the present world.
In an instant, time seemed to flow backwards, and Zi Yan's past was like a picture album with infinite pages, opening before Gu's eyes.
"Return to the flow, the years will change."
Another sound!
In Zi Yan's 'past' album, one 'picture' after another flew out and fell towards Zi Yan, who was sitting quietly with a look of struggle on his face, as if strands of colorful divine light were merging into the purple crystal between his eyebrows.
The effect can be said to be immediate.
In the pure white eyes, the line of color that was originally barely maintained suddenly stabilized and began to spread little by little.
With the help of the 'past albums', He seemed to have really maintained himself little by little under the scouring of the boundless avenue.
The pure white color in the eyes was gradually squeezed out and disappeared, returning to its original colorful color.
Soon, the eyes were just a step away from being completely restored to their original appearance, but at this moment, something strange happened!
“Ancient Ancestor…!”
A roar that seemed to contain boundless pain echoed throughout the space.
Gu paused and saw that the 'Heavenly Gate', which was the Hunyuan point in Zi Yan's body, had expanded to the point where it was difficult to retract!
The shapes began to disintegrate, and Dong Zhen's body swelled up like a balloon.
The thousands of streams of water actually turned the purple 'past' that he had just thrown in into nutrients.
"idiot!"
Purple air rolled up and rose up like a big net, wrapping around the purple ribbon in the middle.
But even if it is tightly bound, it still continues to expand.
"Don't you know that you can't disturb someone when they knock on the gate?!" Gu paused, but facing Xuan's questioning, he could only endure it.
"I thought it would be different from the Daoji method..."
Xuan did not reply, but moved Zi Yan, who was bound by the purple air net, out. If he continued to allow Zi Yan to expand here, other barrier builders would also be affected.
The next moment, the purple air net that had expanded into a spherical shape suddenly disappeared.
……
……
Under the ancient Taixuan sky.
A huge purple sphere suddenly appeared, and in a short period of time, it expanded like an ancient star.
Although it is still inconspicuous compared to the vast ancient Taixuantian, the aura that is faintly superior to the Dongzhen fills the space between heaven and earth, making every living being in this world feel depressed.
what is that?
This question emerged in the minds of all the Cang people.
"Lower your head."
A voice filled with supreme majesty echoed throughout the ancient Taixuantian.
It’s Xuanzu!
All the Cang people paused, then lowered their heads together, not daring to disobey Xuanzu's order.
Only after all the Cang people lowered their heads did the huge purple net that wrapped around Zi Yan loosen its restraints and extend infinitely in all directions, directly dividing the entire ancient Taixuantian into two parts, upper and lower.
Zi Yan, who had been released from her restraints, no longer looked like the holy goddess before. Instead, she had transformed into a strange crystal with countless edges and faces, and was still expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There seems to be light flowing within, including the past, destiny, cause and effect, future, and the end.
The colorful divine light burst out from the Hall of Time and landed near the strange crystal that integrated countless concepts and encompassed infinite meanings, and transformed into a colorful divine man.
"This is……"
Gu stared at the strange crystal, and light and shadow flowed in the ring of time behind his head.
Looking back on the past, life seems like a dream.
He wanted to understand what this crystal was.
"This is Taoist slave." Xuan's voice came from the distant sky.
Dao slave...?
A slave of Tao has no self and is a slave of the Tao.
"Because of your intervention, its strength now surpasses that of Dong Zhen and is approaching that of an enlightened being." Xuan continued.
After all, the method of 'building the gate of heaven' follows the path of realizing 'the breadth of the Dao', unlike the method of 'the extreme of the Dao', so the body will remain.
And because of the disappearance of the self, it itself will become an integration of "concept" and "meaning", which is the so-called Tao slave.
The Tao is emotionless and thoughtless, so Tao slaves themselves have no subjective initiative.
But its existence itself is a huge threat!
"What should I do?" Gu asked.
He plans to stop making rash decisions in the future.
"Find a way to throw it to the Central Continent."
A Taoist slave who surpasses Dongzhen and is close to the level of a Taoist is enough to keep the group of True Immortals busy for a while, so that they don't have to be on guard against the Sword Ancestor causing trouble all the time.
Thrown into the Central Continent?
Can this be thrown away just like that?
Gu was about to say something when the sword light lingering on the wound on his chest suddenly trembled, and the supreme edge that had been restrained a lot appeared again.
"Hmm~!"
He covered his chest and groaned, and the surrounding space was suddenly dyed by a red light that came from nowhere.
Ok? !
Looking up, I saw a red moon appeared in the clear blue sky without me noticing!
The crimson moonlight shines down, illuminating all directions.
The moonlight was like the sharpest sword in the world, tearing through the purple net that separated the sky and the earth.
"As opponents, you do have good ideas." A voice came from afar.
Then a figure was seen walking on the moon, holding a red long sword in his hand. (End of this chapter)
