Chapter 177 Closing the Gate
In the void, a figure strolled, ignoring the world barriers as he crossed the sky and the earth.
Although he is not like the Immortal Emperor, who can descend to the time nodes of the past, present and future by just letting his will cover him, Jiang Jue's speed in reaching the Emperor Realm has completely surpassed the order of time. In addition, he is covered by the will of the World Tree, so he completely ignores the boundaries of time and space in his domain.
Jiang Jue stepped out of the restricted area and headed directly towards the ancient land of Sanqian Daozhou, because there was an old friend here, and he needed to see him before leaving.
I was able to ascend to the Emperor Realm thanks to this person's extradition. The growth of the World Tree is inseparable from the nourishment of the civilizations of all ages. At the beginning, my origin was not independent, but it could no longer rely on devouring darkness to grow. The other party's extradition was of great help to me. I can also be regarded as the nourishment of the primitive ancient civilization. However, now that I have protected Jiutian, it can be regarded as the end of this cause and effect.
Many vast uninhabited restricted areas have collapsed.
Too many stars in the sky were shot down in the war, many galaxies became dim, and the infinite earth collapsed. Too many ancient sites of major sects have turned into dangerous places, filled with murderous intent.
The previous foreign invasion not only hit this most remote ancient land of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also the outbreak of dark turmoil, which resulted in the death of too many lives and the severance of countless major sects. In some ancient lands, evil spirits and the will of the remaining souls of living beings combined together, giving rise to resentful spirits.
And at this moment, in a space-time rift in a restricted area somewhere.
Next to the starry Universe Lake, the thatched hut remains, and next to the quaint wooden table, the figure of the man in white has reappeared.
As if sensing something, the man in white kept staring at the road at the end of the ancient land, where was a barren mountain range connecting to the outside world, with no life at all.
Suddenly, in the shocked eyes of the man and the two boys beside him, everything in the world naturally exuded a fairy-like aura.
As if shrouded by the will of the Great Dao, all things in the world are sublimating, and even this small world in the crack of time and space has evolved into a complete time and space of the Great Dao of heaven and earth. It is an independent world, but it is also integrated into this ancient history.
Some miraculous and holy medicines that require a long time to undergo an amazing transformation completed in a few breaths. The heaven and earth were catalyzed by the heaven-defying secret power, and even some ordinary flowers and plants began to emit fairy air.
In the distance, the originally barren world burst into endless vitality, the grass and trees on the earth erupted, towering ancient trees covered the sky, and golden light passed through the sky and the earth.
This was not a vision of the Immortal King's arrival, but a real scene. There were creatures that defied the heavens descending, reshaping time and space, and helping him evolve this world.
"This kind of creation is truly amazing!"
When the man in white opened his mouth, he had already seen the familiar figure.
However, unlike before, this figure was difficult for the Immortal King to sense. To be precise, he was unable to capture the other party's true body. Perhaps, this was the reason why the Immortal King found it difficult to hurt the Emperor. It was not just the suppression of the domain, but the inability to understand that level of power.
"Greetings to Emperor Qingjue!"
The man in white had a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.
Instead, the two boys looked at the young man in front of them with awe and bowed their heads.
Everyone knows Jiang Jue's name in the world. He has made great achievements and, of course, he also has a terrifying evil reputation.
Many people did see Jiang Jue take action in the battle of Dachi Tian, and now the name of the Emperor of Heaven is being spread all over the Nine Heavens.
However, there are also rumors that many clan descendants also call him an evil and corrupt king. Due to his terrifying strength, no one dares to speak nonsense.
To put it another way, Jiang Jue did kill too many people who were corrupted by darkness, and he was too lazy to explain so much.
Kill them, that's it, as long as you have a clear conscience. The Quasi-Immortal Emperor is not omnipotent, and he cannot save those fallen people.
"Daoyou's true spirit has become much more solid!"
Jiang Jue also had a smile on his face. Although the Emperor Pill could not bring the other party back, the medicinal power of the Sansheng Medicine was indeed extraordinary for the Immortal King.
"Did you succeed, fellow Taoist?"
The next moment, the man in white put away his smile and spoke in a serious manner. A slight throbbing in his heart made him think that the young man in front of him had already broken through the king realm. After all, the massacre in Dachitian was too shocking.
"Yes!"
"Meet the Emperor!"
The White-robed Immortal King also bowed his head, not as a friend, but as a practitioner. Not bowing to the emperor was a sign of disrespect for the person who had gone before.
The young man before him had already achieved something that no one had ever set foot on before in eternity.
The man in white was more and more grateful for his original decision. This action that he took on a whim made the vitality of all worlds shine in the darkness. The Nine Heavens blossomed with new life in the destruction, and the great trend was reflected on this young man.
While he was shocked, he also began to have some bold ideas.
The two boys were confused and didn't understand why their teacher was so humble, but they followed suit and bowed again.
Even as true immortals, they could not understand the realm that Jiang Jue was in. Even the Immortal King was out of reach for them.
Afterwards, the two of them also stepped back, not daring to eavesdrop on the conversation between Jiang Jue and the man in white.
"I have come here to something else."
Drinking the refreshing old tea at the wooden table, Jiang Jue spoke calmly.
"At the beginning, I was not strong enough to go out to sea to quell the rebellion, and I died. I thought that there would be no one in this world who could quell this ominous disaster that has plagued the world for eternity. However, now that fellow Taoist has become an emperor, I think the darkness of the world cannot be stopped. The turmoil in this world should not continue."
The man in white spoke with emotion.
To quell darkness, this is the will of countless heroes.
However, kings throughout the ages have tried one after another to quell this evil but have been unable to do so. But now everything is different. An emperor has been born. In his opinion, no one can stop the emperor's will, and all worlds will be at peace.
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I am not going out to sea to quell the darkness this time."
Jiang Jue, a quasi-immortal emperor, also gave a bitter smile when he heard the words of the man in white.
The other party must have misunderstood something. I am here to say goodbye, not to go out to sea to quell the rebellion.
However, it is completely understandable. Who would have thought that even if the emperor took action, he would still suffer. Now it is a bit too much to ask him to fight four emperors.
As the World Tree that has attained enlightenment, he controls the order and authority of time and space, and can also mobilize the will of the world in all the heavens and worlds. Even if he is defeated after his complete transformation, he may still be able to escape unscathed. This is the confidence of the World Tree that encompasses supreme time and space.
But facing the world-destroying old man, he was a little unsure.
To impact the Supreme Immortal Emperor, how many people in the universe can understand the weight of these few words.
But not everyone can transform and sublimate continuously in a bloody battle like Emperor Huang Tian, so it does not mean that one can win with just one burst of energy.
"this…?"
Hearing Jiang Jue speak, the man in white was stunned at first, then his face was full of confusion. He couldn't understand why this man was unwilling to fight for all living beings. This was inconsistent with the other party's behavior.
You know, since entering the world, the other party has protected all living beings in the world and fought bloody battles in all directions. The kings he slaughtered can form an almighty world.
"Darkness is an ominous omen. It is not as simple as you think. The reason why the Emperor's Fall is called the Emperor's Fall is not a rumor, because an emperor really fell in that era."
Jiang Jue spoke helplessly.
“How… is it possible…!”
The man in white had his pupils constricted and spoke in a trembling voice, having already stood up, unable to imagine the news he had heard.
The mentality that had been calm and composed throughout the ages, even the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, and even one's own death, was shattered in an instant.
In ancient history, there really were emperors who fell.
This news was so shocking that it was hard to calm down. The key was what exactly made an emperor suffer such a tragedy.
"The footprints on the dam of the Boundary Sea are exactly the traces left by the one who lived during the time of the Emperor's Fall. A supreme being who surpassed countless predecessors went out to sea and died on the other side of the Boundary Sea."
After Jiang Jue spoke, the man in white became more and more terrified. From the deepest part of his memory, the familiar dam emerged. He died before he could even reach the other side. And the death of an emperor on the other side was too much of a shock to the Immortal King.
"Darkness involves the plans of many supreme gods. Now, even if I step into the imperial realm, it is difficult to face the siege of those lives. The reason I left is to seek the power to fight against those creatures."
Jiang Jue spoke again.
After entering the heavens, it would not be a problem for the Butcher and the Undertaker to achieve the status of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. As for the Immortal Emperor, that was not a realm that could be crossed. Only by truly setting foot in it could one know its great power.
If you want to become a quasi-Immortal Emperor and create a complete cultivation system, you will have a chance. However, there is no clear method for the Immortal Emperor. When you reach the end of the road, how can you go?
"I didn't expect that darkness could be so terrifying to living beings. I really don't know when it will end."
The man in white was amazed. In the years when the emperors fell, an emperor fell. In this world, it took who knows how many eras before another emperor was born. If he wanted to quell the unrest, he really didn't know which era he would have to wait until. He also didn't know how many emperors would have to gather to accomplish such a great feat.
"Ah!"
The man in white suddenly chuckled. The matter was serious, but with all the emperors gathered together, it sounded like a joke.
"You don't have to worry, my friend. The Nine Heavens' great power is not only reflected on me."
When Jiang Jue spoke, the Lord of the restricted area was shocked.
Only now did I realize that according to the deduction of the kings, half of the Nine Heavens' great potential converged on Jiang Jue. But the other half of the great potential has not yet been reflected.
Perhaps, it will be reflected in future generations. Now that Jiang Jue is here in advance, is it indicating that other emperors will be born in the future?
"Just as you thought!"
Jiang Jue spoke.
"Have you seen it, fellow Daoist?"
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone spoke. How could an emperor’s insight into the future be worse than that of an Immortal King?
"Yes! However, you can't say it, and you can't do it. Just let it go! When you encounter it in the future, you will know it naturally."
Let alone Emperor Huang Tian, whoever dares to touch the timeline of another emperor will cause the cause and effect and the long river of time to riot directly, and the volume of ancient history will crush him, which even the Immortal Emperor will find difficult to bear.
"Will I meet him?"
The master of the restricted area was suddenly shocked.
He will witness the rise of the Zhengyi Emperor again, and no one will be able to remain calm about such a thing.
After a long time, Jiang Jue's figure disappeared in the restricted area, leaving only the frightened man in white to digest Jiang Jue's information.
At this moment, in the Nine Heavens Imperial Pass, in addition to the Immortal King Lingyuan, the Star King and others, the Immortal King Zhenhou and the Immortal King Kongsu and other fairyland kings have already arrived.
The war was over, and the Immortal Realm was also looking for the lost armies. However, the kings also received the decree from the Immortal Realm and gathered at the Imperial Pass.
"Have you heard that the allies in the fairyland are going to close the boundary gate again? I wonder if it will have any impact on us."
"At this critical moment, the two worlds should work together to overcome the difficulties."
"Humph, I'm afraid they still look down on us."
In the Imperial City, many clans of the Nine Heavens also gathered together to discuss endlessly, and various ideas emerged.
Some people sighed, some people sneered.
"Everyone, many of my fellow practitioners have issued decrees that the gate between the two worlds may be closed in the near future. It will be opened again after the darkness is completely pacified."
Inside the ancestral altar, an immortal king spoke.
"That's right. I hope everyone in Jiutian won't think too much about it."
Another Immortal King spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, please make your own decisions on this matter. Jiu Tian has no objection."
The White Tiger King had a calm expression, showing no emotion.
It is understandable that the fairyland wants to close the gate. If it were before, he would definitely fight for it.
But now, an emperor has been born in the Nine Heavens, the great way is complete, and great forces have gathered. Even if there are only a few immortal kings in the Nine Heavens at this moment, there is no need to rely on anyone.
The four kings who returned from the sea of realms and merged into the Nine Heavens kept silent. They just needed to stand firmly on the side of the Nine Heavens.
The only ones who really knew about the Emperor Cheng were the Star King, the Lingyuan Immortal King, and the True Hound Ancestor who had a thoughtful look on his face. After all, the strange vision reflected in the Great Scarlet Sky was too terrifying. He knew how powerful the Qingjue King was, and he became suspicious.
As for the other few people, since the one who did not want to show off in public, they would not interfere and make the emperor unhappy, as it would not be worth the loss.
"Also, the war is over. After this battle, it will be difficult for the foreign land to invade again. We will return to the fairyland soon. I hope you can understand."
Someone spoke up, saying that since they had not been eroded by darkness, the fairyland would not stop them from returning.
However, the ancestor of Zhenhu and the Immortal King Kongsu and others had solemn expressions on their faces. Their origins had been eroded by darkness, and the kings of the Immortal Realm would not let them enter that immortal land.
"It seems that we need to find an ancient land to establish our own clan land."
The True Hound Ancestor had already started to make plans in his mind, and not only him, but the others as well.
Establishing exclusion zones is also an option.
Not long after, countless fairyland warships crossed the galaxy and rushed towards the edge of the universe. That was the ancient starry road, the ancient road to the fairyland.
The warships surrounded by fairy air held up battle flags stained with blood. This was a great achievement. However, many cultivators from the fairyland looked at Jiutian with extremely grim expressions. Too many people were buried in this ancient world.
Moreover, many people were already impatient to leave the place where the darkness broke out. They were very resistant to darkness in their hearts. It was an ominous disaster. Once it was touched, the whole clan would be destroyed. They even hated this ancient world because they did not know the truth. The kings of the Nine Heavens had fallen. In their opinion, they could no longer have an equal dialogue with the Immortal Realm.
"Sir, there are still several clans in our world that we have not found! We...!"
Someone on the warship spoke! Not everyone can return in a short time, and many people are lost in the worlds. Unfortunately, they are also difficult to find.
"Those clans?"
A true immortal has spoken.
"Several branches of the Dugu clan, Duanmu clan, and Lu clan have been separated."
The man spoke again, causing the group of people to look at him with even more disgust, and too many looks were filled with indifference.
These lineages all came from darkness, some of them were protected, and some were descendants of the fallen Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm. They did escape the disaster when the kings were settling accounts, and now they want to go to war with the guilt in mind.
Now they don't want to look for it. Not everyone is willing to accept the darkness. Even if the Immortal King offers protection, it can only make them not care, but it doesn't mean they will accept it.
"Don't worry about them! Just say they are lost."
Now that a true immortal has spoken, how can he not feel anything when his ancestral king was killed?
Not long after, heaven and earth were empty, and the will of the Nine Heavens began to cause ripples.
"Immortal Realm, has the boundary gate been closed?"
Ugh!
Many living immortal masters have already felt the closing of the gate to the world and are unable to sense the will of the immortal realm.
“I hope Jiutian can regain its glory!”
