Chapter 156: Western Holy City, Seize the Fragments

After comforting Ye Fan's parents, Chai Xin said goodbye for the time being and went to Pangbo's hometown again. He found his parents and told them the truth, allowing them to make their own decision slowly.

At first, the two old men certainly couldn't believe that the son they had been with for ten years was a transformed demon. But when the little demon showed his true form and saw the image of Pangbo on Chai Xin's phone, they finally believed it.

"Over the years, I have felt from time to time that something is wrong with this child, but since he is my own child, I never thought about it too deeply... I never thought that something like this would happen."

These are the exact words of Pangbo’s father.

Before leaving, Chai Xin also adjusted the bodies of Pangbo's parents and placed restrictions on them.

After a little hesitation, Chai Xin returned to the neighboring city of his hometown and secretly checked the health of his two aunts and family members to eliminate all hidden diseases.

"If nothing unexpected happens, both of your families will live long lives, and I will have severed this earthly bond."

Chai Xin never showed up from beginning to end. After doing all this, he did not return to Ye Fan or Pang Bo's parents, but began to implement his plan.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

During these five years, Chai Xin spent most of his time traveling around the world, occasionally visiting several elders from the Ye and Pang families.

Improving your cultivation is secondary; the main thing is to comprehend the secret art of Yuantian.

If he wanted to enter the ancient secret realms on Earth, it was obviously not enough with the Yuantian secret technique he had when he came to Earth.

Five years later, not only had Chai Xin's cultivation reached the perfection of the second level of the Immortal Platform, but his Yuantian secret technique had also finally entered the realm of a Yuandi Master.

Although the realm of the Source Earth Master cannot be compared with that of the Source Heaven Master, it is equally extraordinary. Even in the current Big Dipper star field, I am afraid that there may not be ten people who can reach this realm.

It is indeed very difficult to become a source master.

Not only does it require the approval of heaven and earth, but it also requires the collection of fragments of the laws contained in tens of thousands of dragon veins.

Fortunately, the earth is really special. Not only are there countless dragon veins of all sizes, but the fragments of laws contained within it are also incomparable to ordinary dragon veins.

It is no exaggeration to say that the small amount of laws contained in the Yangtze River Dragon Veins and the Yellow River Dragon Veins are more powerful than the hundreds of small dragon veins in the Big Dipper Star Region combined!

Through continuous exploration over the years, Chai Xin has gained a deeper understanding of the Earth.

The Earth is indeed extraordinary. It is much larger than what can be seen with the naked eye. Its true appearance is in no way inferior to the Big Dipper, and may even surpass it.

Unfortunately, due to some reasons, its true appearance cannot be revealed.

In addition, the great laws of the earth are not obvious, and cultivation is indeed extremely difficult.

Chai Xin is a congenital Taoist fetus. Logically speaking, he is a spiritual body favored by all Taos. However, on Earth, he feels a little uncomfortable, as if he has come to a shallow beach from the ocean.

However, he also had a hunch that the description in the original book was correct. If he could cut off the Dao in this place of the Dharma Ending Age, his future achievements would be much higher than cutting off the Dao on a planet where the Great Dao was flourishing.

Of course, this is much more difficult.

At least, five years have passed, and Chai Xin still hasn't reached the threshold of the Way of Beheading.

In fact, more than three years ago, he had already entered the realm of perfection on the second level of Xiantai.

With his understanding, talent, and unique physique, it is so difficult for him to achieve the Dao of Destruction, let alone others!
"My cultivation has reached its limit in a short period of time. It's time to start collecting the remaining fragments of the Immortal Diagram."

Over the years, Chai Xin has traveled to famous mountains and rivers in the East and the West, and naturally explored many places that were not too dangerous in the original work but which contained fragments of the Immortality Map.

He has already obtained three pieces, such as two pieces from the underground palace of Mount Lushan and one piece from the original dragon cave of Mount Changbai. In the process, he naturally had fights with some local human or demon cultivators, but with his strength, he easily defeated them.

In addition, there are two pieces in the tomb of Rongcheng family in Longhu Mountain; two pieces in the Western Holy Land; one piece in the mysterious ancient temple; and one piece that is missing and suspected to be broken.

Chai Xin decided to go to the west first. In comparison, the danger there would be slightly less than the Rong Cheng family tomb in Longhu Mountain.

Although the Rongcheng tomb has long been unguarded by living people, it is still filled with mysteries and dangers at every step, and it presents an invisible crisis.

Even though there are still people with great supernatural powers in the Western Holy Land, Chai Xin’s current strength is enough to sweep them away.

The most important thing is, as long as he can get two more fragments of the Immortality Map, the number of fragments in Chai Xin’s hands will be more than half.

Coupled with the half of the Immortality Map that he obtained from the Yuhua Star Domain Small World, it is very likely that he can directly piece together the complete Immortality Map, and perhaps there is no need to spend time and effort searching for other fragments.

After all, searching is not easy, and according to the description in the original book, there is actually no other opportunity in Rong Cheng's tomb except a branch of a ginseng fruit tree.

The situation is so dangerous that even Chai Xin today may not be able to escape unscathed.

It would be best if we could directly put together the complete picture of becoming an immortal.

Finally, Chai Xin quietly traveled westward.

Unlike the original novel where Ye Fan shocked the world along the way, he arrived at the legendary holy city without alarming anyone.

"Sure enough, this so-called holy city is hidden in an ancient formation. It will take some effort to enter it."

Chai Xin stepped on the ground and raised his hands towards the sky. Countless divine rays gathered and were caught in his palms.

"boom!"

He stepped lightly with his right foot, and the earth in all directions shook instantly. The light in his hand became stronger and stronger, and a dark crack flashed out.

Chai Xin withdrew his hand and stepped inside.

In an instant, the world changed.

A wild breath blew over me, as if I had returned to the legendary ancient times.

All you see are towering trees that are as thick as a man's embrace. From time to time, you can hear the calls and roars of rare birds and animals all around, which is completely different from the modern scene on Earth today.

At the end of the earth in the distance, there is a magnificent and huge city that seems to be cast from black metal. It shines brightly under the sun and looks extremely sacred.

This ancient city is incomparably magnificent and cannot be built by ordinary people. The four walls alone are hundreds of feet high and have a circumference of hundreds of miles. An astonishing aura constantly emanates from the interior, as if it is a group of interconnected caves.

The ancient city has existed for endless years. All those entering and exiting the huge city gate are cultivators. Many of them fly in the air, and some ride exotic beasts, making Chai Xin feel as if this is not Earth, but he has returned to the Big Dipper star region.

Moreover, among the monks coming and going, there are various races, all of which are very strange.

Some have handsome looks, with long and pointed ears, like the elves in the legend; some have three heads and six arms, with halos behind their heads, as if they were gods in mythology; others have white wings growing out of their backs, and exude a sacred aura, just like the angels in the story.

It is obvious that this place is an independent small world, opened up by ancient sages, and there are still a large number of monks living here.

Chai Xin suddenly appeared on the wide white marble avenue outside the city. There were many monks coming and going around him, but no one noticed his presence.

Or rather, it was as if he had been there from beginning to end, without any abruptness.

However, just because the pedestrians around didn't notice it, it didn't mean that everyone in the Holy City had no sense of it.

A ray of divine light suddenly shot out from the city and reached the sky, attracting countless people to stop and stare up.

Immediately, countless people bowed and saluted, with expressions of reverence on their faces.

"Greetings to Master Morin!"

Everyone chanted that man's name.

The divine aura gradually dissipated, and an old man in a golden robe appeared. He held a magic staff in his hand and there was a divine light shining behind his head, making him look like a god.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen powerful knights riding exotic beasts took off into the air and guarded the old man who was respected as Master Morin.

"How dare you, a man from the East, trespass into my holy city in the West?"

Master Morin's old face was calm as he looked down at Chai Xin condescendingly.

Chai Xin looked indifferent as he slowly stepped into the sky, saying as he walked: "You barbarians have looted my Eastern ancestral artifacts for thousands of years. I have come to take them back today."

His words immediately caused an uproar in the city.

"This oriental monkey, could it be that he has taken the wrong medicine and is mentally disturbed? How dare he come to the Holy City to cause trouble?"

"It's hard to say. He has the ability to break through the barrier and come to the Holy City. He must have some skills."

"Haha, so what? He dared to provoke the Holy City alone. Even their ancestors in the East did not have such courage. How could he have such confidence?"

"That's right. Master Morin will soon make him realize his stupidity and ignorance."

Many people were surprised at first, and then found it funny, thinking Chai Xin was a clown who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.

It is not their fault for being arrogant, but the Western Holy City has existed for countless years and has never been conquered by any entity. In the hearts of Western monks, it is the City of God that will never fall.

An unknown person like Chai Xin, however, threatened to take back the ancestral artifact of the East, which was nothing but a foolish dream in their eyes.

"Young man, considering your hard work in cultivation, I will give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow to the Holy City, confess your sins, and believe in my Lord devoutly from now on, and I will spare your life."

Master Morin's expression remained unchanged and his tone was extremely cold.

Chai Xin shook his head and said nothing, without stopping. Although his movement seemed slow, he had arrived in front of Master Morin in an instant.

A hint of surprise finally appeared on Master Morin's face, which seemed to be unchanging forever.

He realized that Chai Xin was extraordinary, and immediately raised his staff and chanted a spell: "Omnipotent..."

However, just as he opened his mouth, he saw Chai Xin pointing at him casually.

In an instant, a purple light flashed, like a sharp arrow shooting out, piercing through the layers of golden light he raised, and hitting his chest cleanly.

"boom!"

It was as if thunder had descended to the world. The moment the purple light hit, Master Morin's chest suddenly exploded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. His aura completely condensed and then quickly dissipated.

The surprise on his face had not yet disappeared, but the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably, eventually raising a cloud of dust and completely dying.

In one move, both the body and the soul are destroyed.

The world was quiet for a moment, and the expressions of all those who had full confidence in Master Morin just a moment ago froze.

Soon, they made all kinds of incredible noises, and shrill screams were heard everywhere.

The young man who they regarded as a clown just a moment ago, now looked like the legendary devil in their eyes.

Everyone was shocked and horrified. Mage Morin, who had lived for more than 600 years and possessed unfathomable strength, was actually killed by just a single finger. This was beyond their understanding.

Chai Xin did not stop at all. Killing a half-step great man at the first level of the Immortal Platform was nothing to him.

Those powerful knights who had been so aggressive before and seemed determined to defend Master Morin to the death could not help but feel fear and retreated one after another.

Even if some people still had some courage, their mounts were trembling, almost tottering, and completely out of control.

Just like that, Chai Xin walked leisurely into the ancient city, and no one around dared to resist him.

"As the ancient prophecy said, a great devil will appear in Middle-earth every few years! This guy should be the Middle-earth devil of this era!"

"God, please send down divine punishment and purify this devil from Middle-earth!"

Many people prayed in fear, but in the end no one dared to step forward and watched Chai Xin step into the city.

The spiritual energy inside the ancient city is even more abundant, and there are even towering mountains. Countless medicinal fields stretch for thousands of miles. It is obviously a world of its own, ten times larger than it looks from the outside.

"Demon, this is the city where our God Clan lives, how dare you set foot here!"

Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice sounded from the city, with a natural domineering majesty that frightened countless people.

"This... there are still gods living in this world!"

The frightened crowd seemed to have found their backbone. They cheered and knelt down devoutly to the owner of the voice, their voices filled with excitement.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of golden light shot up into the sky, and the dazzling light spread across the entire city, making all believers feel a sense of nobility and warmth from the inside out.

"The remnants of the evildoers who invaded our Earth back then dared to call themselves gods. They really don't know how to live or die."

Chai Xin had read the original novel, so he naturally knew what these so-called "gods" were. His tone was not only full of contempt, but also coldness.

These disgusting guys invaded the earth in the first place, and finally hid in the West to survive. However, they turned around and regarded themselves as gods who saved the world. This has gone beyond the scope of despicableness and is simply shameless.

The hands of these guys’ ancestors are all stained with the blood of the earth’s ancestors!

They all deserve to die.

"You blasphemous ant, the sacred fire will burn your soul!"

Above the ancient city, a tall and majestic figure emerged, with golden divine light flowing all over his body. His voice was grand and majestic, stirring people's hearts.

"My supreme master, such a lowly ant is not worthy of your dirty hands. Let your most loyal servant wipe him out for you!"

Before the owner of the voice could make a move, a beautiful woman with four pairs of white wings on her back appeared out of nowhere, holding a huge sword and slashing towards Chai Xin.
