Free Web NovelChapter 604: Chapter 360: Enacting the Four Divisions, Birthing All Things—Today I Split Heaven and Earth Anew!
"So looking at it this way, there are only two possibilities left—the Zhang family itself is the product of reversed causality, is... my descendants?"
"The second possibility is that the Zhang family mastered the technique of reversing causality and took the Other Shore Bone from the future me."
"Then, by relying on the Other Shore Bone, they extracted the Residual Soul of the future white-robed, sword-browed individual and the black-robed, long-bearded one, crafting them into a Grim Skeleton."
Zhang Fusheng whispered to himself, his thoughts incredibly clear, yet he understood that the former was most likely.
So...
He looked at Zhang Xueyu with an increasingly peculiar gaze.
Descendants?
Zhang Fusheng was struck by a strange feeling, even though he accepted Ruan Yutu as his adopted daughter, their essence was more like siblings.
Descendants indeed...
Just as his mind was turning.
"With this bone, take my Trapped Immortal?"
Tianlao seemed to have heard the world’s biggest joke, a mocking look appearing on his face, yet his hands were not slow at all.
As the small hammer swung, it stirred up the thick earth fire, wind, and water, all chaotically erupting!
Zhang Xueyu stood unmoved, the protector beside him smiled:
"Please, dear treasure, turn around."
The gourd rotated, from its mouth erupted a heaven-covering Immortal Light, resembling a galaxy hanging upside-down, it poured from left to right!
Tianlao’s expression changed, his hand directed the small hammer towards the sky, purple lightning danced wildly, carrying earth fire, wind, and water roaring upward,
Within a galaxy emerged the Slaying Immortal Flying Knife—though not the real Slaying Immortal Flying Knife, just a strand of Dao Rhythm,
Similarly, controlling the Purple Lightning Hammer was not the Celestial Lord of Numinous Treasure, but merely a Great Power.
Zhang Xueyu spoke calmly at this moment:
"Naturally, the Other Shore Bone cannot contend with the Trapped Immortal compared to the famed Immortal Execution under the stars."
"But the ancestral teachings have said, when the Other Shore Bone appears, naturally someone capable of seizing the Immortal Sinking Sword will emerge."
As the voice fell.
The rampant earth fire, wind, and water collided with the rushing galaxy.
That Slaying Immortal Flying Knife broke in, broke in, broke in!
The earth fire, wind, and water seemed to be slashed open, Tianlao’s scalp tingled, his own spirit warning frantically,
Will die, will die!
He no longer hesitated—despite the teachings of the sect that decreed not to use the Trapped Immortal,
but now, with death imminent, who can care about so much??
Tianlao closed his eyes, softly said:
"Chii!"
The void beside him split open, he reached inside, and upon withdrawing, grasped an ancient long sword in his hand.
Tianlao raised his head, gazing at the Celestial Saber that was slashing through the earth fire, wind, and water towards him,
He reached out again, gently flicking the ancient sword’s blade.
’Dang!!!’
A crisp sound rang out at this time.
Infinite transformation began at this time.
The Immortal Sinking Sword dominates transformation, grows with slaughter, traps and kills immortals, seizes immortals and Buddhas’ fundamental lives through transformation.
It was precisely at this moment.
Infinite transformation arose from all directions, exerting heavy pressure, the earth fire, wind, and water invoked by the Purple Lightning Hammer and the Slaying Immortal Dao Rhythm expelled by the gourd,
were forcibly compressed together at this moment, blended into a mass!
Instantly.
Lin Dongxi and others who were pressed unable to move, felt that all directions suddenly became silent.
It was silence.
No sound, no object—not absolute darkness, but even ’black’ doesn’t exist, no color at all,
just the purest, truest emptiness.
Great Silence.
"What happened?"
Zhang Xueyu cautiously spoke, but his voice did not carry—the place was a realm of Great Silence, a void and yet a vacuum, a reflection of the moment before Heaven-Opening!
Before the Heaven-Opening, nothing existed, no sight or sound, neither sound nor thought could persist.
Great Silence, Great Silence.
This place seemed to transform into an eternal trap formation, Tianlao and the protector were aware, realizing a terrifying event had occurred beyond expectations from the collision of the three Supreme Treasures!
If no external force interferes, this Great Silence might never disperse—in other words, they’ll all be eternally trapped here!
Eyes can’t see, mouth can’t speak, body can’t touch, thoughts can’t leave the shell.
It seemed to be infinite ages, yet seemed to be a fleeting instant—time in this place held no meaning.
"The turbulent earth fire, wind, and water, under the influence of the Slaying Immortal Flying Knife and the Immortal Sinking Sword, twisted together into such a primal scene?"
Just as everyone, including Tianlao and the protector, found themselves unable to see, speak, and had their thoughts confined within themselves.
People heard a gentle voice emerging, like the first ray of dawn ushered by a thick deep night,
likewise when black clouds enshroud the city threatening to destroy it, a line suddenly breaks through the celestial vault.
That gentle voice pierced through the Great Silence, pierced through this brief, absolute void that existed only before the Heaven-Opening.
And then.
In the emptiness before everyone, the first silhouette emerged.
This was the only silhouette that existed.
"It’s him!"
Zhang Xueyu’s pupils contracted, recognizing the silhouette—a young man with a wide-brimmed hat, whose appearance was unclear and intentions unknown!
The young man still wore the wide-brimmed hat on his head, but his robe took on a different appearance, with a large, constantly rotating disc suspended behind him, ƒreewebɳovel.com
and his robe was draped with thirty-six colored lights.
He stood there quietly,
becoming the only ’thing’ in the era of great emptiness before the opening of the heavens, a time when there was no concept of time, years, or existence.
Those trapped here could only see this silhouette.
The ethereal silhouette seemed to be looking at this place of great emptiness with great interest, as if.... contemplating?
"So it is, so it is."
Zhang Fusheng sighed again and again, indeed, the earth, fire, water, and wind converged into one, which is naturally the scene before the opening of the heavens,
it was after the heavens were opened, in the chaotic void, that earth, fire, water, and wind differentiated, thus evolving into all things!
"So, the root of all things is actually above earth, fire, water, and wind?"
"No, earth, fire, water, and wind are just part of the foundation of all things, there is also yin and yang, and... [Origin]."
"Or perhaps, the primordial one."
Zhang Fusheng looked around, empty and silent, Lin Dongxi, Tianlao, and others were all submerged in this great emptiness,
in a sense, they all ’do not exist’ at this moment.
Though they still had consciousness and soul, they were all trapped within their bodies, and therefore didn’t exist in this place of great emptiness,
in other words, I am the only one here.
"I am the primordial one here, the [Origin]."
"Fuli Daoist, was meant to be the origin."
Zhang Fusheng clapped his hands and laughed wistfully, falling into a deep state of enlightenment, the clear radiance flowing between his skin turned into the charm of the Dao!
A moment, or perhaps ten thousand years.
The youth immersed in the Dao and principles opened his mouth and spoke, saying:
"Let there be light."
Bright light pierced through the void, where there is light, there is dark, yin and yang formed.
"Let there be four symbols."
Earth, fire, water, and wind slowly emerged, displaying a state of unordered chaos, those trapped here could ’see’ it now,
they looked around blankly, they stared in horror at the mysterious young man seemingly residing at an infinite height, a single thought emerged in their minds.
"This is... the heaven-opener." Zhang Xueyu murmured to herself, thinking of the ancestral teachings.
The ancestor was the original progenitor of the human race.
He was also the one who opened the heavens.
At this moment.
Experiencing the true intent of the heaven-opening, Zhang Fusheng was entranced, unconsciously employing the [Heaven-Opening Chapter],
he said:
"Heaven and earth are overturned."
Hence, the light and clear rises, the heavy and turbid falls.
He said:
"Chaos Seal."
Then, chaotic light appeared, illuminating the eight directions.
He said:
"Pangu Banner."
Thus, the Pangu Banner unleashed a strand of heaven-opening sword energy, tearing open the ’small heaven and earth’ that attempted to return to the great emptiness completely!
It can no longer be mended.
Heaven and earth began to give birth to a primordial will.
He— He.
He lastly said:
"Create all things."
Thus, colorful clouds appeared in the sky, along with the sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers, and streams appeared on the earth, as well as birds, beasts, vegetation, and grass!
All things were born, all things were born.
A [Heaven and Earth] was then opened up in the ancient courtyard.
Weak, immature, and incomplete.
But true and real, yet transcending all worlds and realms, akin to the [Great Heaven and Earth] that was originally unveiled!!
The heaven-opener stood in the sky.
Opened his eyes.
Sighed:
"So it is."
Immortal Sinking Sword, Purple Lightning Hammer, Other Shore Bone, Immortal-Slaying Gourd, all flew into his palm.
