Free Web NovelChapter 606: Chapter 405: Stepping Into the Void Again, The Truth Behind the Legend (Part 2)
"You’re not simple..."
The Five Elements True Immortal glanced at Zhong Heng, ceasing to delve into his inner self, yet even so, he could infer much from the traces of causality left on Zhong Heng.
"Hmm?"
"True Immortal’s mark?"
Zhong Heng took a deep breath and said, "This is exactly what I meant by giving senior a helping hand."
"Perhaps senior encountered some trouble, necessitating the absorption of the Five Elements Source of the entire Five Elements Grotto Heaven... even the sources of many disciples under you..."
Zhong Heng looked downward.
The Immortal Grotto Mansion is essentially an independent space, yet also within the Five Elements Grotto Heaven.
Zhong Heng’s gaze seemed to traverse countless spaces.
Overlooking the entire Five Elements Grotto Heaven.
All the people, except for the newly inducted batch.
Everyone seemed somewhat unreal.
Even including Kong Hong, the third disciple of the Immortal, Peacock Race’s Demon God, one of the Nine Divinity Transformations of the Five Elements Sect.
Their bodies appeared somewhat blurred.
Because their power was absorbed by the Five Elements True Immortal.
Or rather... borrowed by the Five Elements True Immortal.
Zhong Heng could feel that this was not some evil technique, but rather an extremely profound Immortal Technique.
This borrowing of power was not direct absorption.
Instead, it leveraged the power of the river of time, borrowing directly from the concept of "existence," including much of the future power of many disciples.
This might also explain why the sect of the Five Elements has so many Cultivation Treasure Lands.
This Immortal Technique involves time and causality.
Just like how the Five Elements True Immortal instinctively browsed through Zhong Heng as though he were a book.
The Five Elements True Immortal, or rather Peacock Great Saint, had surpassed legend in Dao Practice.
But if this continues, even the most profound Immortal Technique will become an evil technique.
Taking without returning, the existence of the entire Five Elements Sect will be silently erased, even other Immortals would no longer remember the existence of the Five Elements Sect.
Even if...
The Five Elements True Immortal had already laid down measures in advance...
Throughout the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm... Five Elements Technique! And the legend of Five Elements True Immortal spreading the Dao and inheriting disciples!
Just like an anchor.
The more people remember the Five Elements True Immortal and the existence of the Five Elements Sect, the harder it is for them to disappear.
Zhong Heng dared not think deeper; when did the Five Elements True Immortal decide to do such a thing?
If possible, Zhong Heng just wanted to stay far away; the Five Elements Sect? Nothing to do with him, but the River Map is too deeply linked to him.
Five Elements True Immortal’s expression finally became serious.
Zhong Heng removed the gourd pendant from his waist.
The gourd pendant rapidly expanded, transforming into a floating, light-emitting gourd in midair.
An elder’s figure was manifested by the Qi of the Five Elements.
It was Elder Hu.
Elder Hu stood half a step in front of Zhong Heng, looking at Five Elements True Immortal with some uncertainty.
Even he hadn’t expected so many things to happen.
To Elder Hu, he only perceived a trace of Five Spirits Immortal Venerable’s aura on the Five Elements True Immortal.
Five Elements True Immortal finally showed some emotion.
"Five Spirits Immortal Venerable’s Five Elements Qiankun Gourd?"
The Five Elements True Immortal might require energy.
Inside the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd is an endless Qi of the Five Elements.
Even if Zhong Heng advanced to Nascent Soul, he couldn’t detect the amount of Qi from the Five Elements in the Immortal Artifact.
Five Elements True Immortal was stirred.
The next second, the world shattered.
Five Elements True Immortal instantly brought them to a new place.
An endless starry sky. freewebnσvel.cøm
Extreme cold.
This was the void.
Yet in the next second, Zhong Heng’s pupils shrank.
This place was the void, yet it was also Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou and a certain part of the void were entangled across incomprehensible distances.
At this moment, it appeared as if two photographs were stitched together.
And at the center of these two "photos."
Was a crack.
The crack wasn’t large.
But Zhong Heng was particularly familiar with it.
Or rather, Jiang Ming in Zhong Heng’s Celestial Soul.
"This crack..."
Pure black and void.
This was the breach seen in the last simulation, witnessed by Xiang Wuji in the legacy of Great Saint Bai Ze.
It descended in the Ancient Era of Jiuzhou, that extreme blackness.
It prompted the Jiuzhou Immortals and the Great Saints of the Demon Race to join hands.
No one knew what happened at that time.
Only that one day, the Ancient Immortals and Great Saints vanished without a trace.
Afterward, the River Map and Luo Book came into being, Fuxi and Yu the Great arose, the Human Race fully flourished, and Jiuzhou entered a new era, with countless Celestial Pride attaining immortality, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Human Race.
This crack wasn’t large, visually just a few meters long and as wide as a fist.
But it seemed to transcend the concept of size.
Beside the crack were nineteen Immortal Coffins placed.
They were like crystal, indescribable Immortal Patterns floating on them.
Inside the Immortal Coffins were bodies, vitality still present, as though the Immortals hadn’t passed away.
Zhong Heng couldn’t dare to say if these Immortals were dead, but intuition told him they were indeed dead.
Zhong Heng looked over.
His heart skipped again, for he saw some familiar figures among them.
A middle-aged man, before whom five Demon Pills floated, and a half-tattered book lay beside his head...
The middle-aged man wore a simple long robe, somewhat tattered.
Nothing appeared particularly special, but this man was the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable, whom Zhong Heng had seen in the legacy!
Even the five Demon Pills Zhong Heng was extremely familiar with.
They were the Demon Pills of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts!
His corpse was here!?
This place...
Zhong Heng’s expression froze again, on the other side of the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable, a similar Immortal Coffin.
The body within it still flashed with divine light.
Immortal Venerable Huihuang!?
How could it be...
The two Immortal Venerables linked to Zhong Heng were both within the Immortal Coffins here!
"Master!"
The Five Elements Qiankun Gourd had already landed in the hands of the Five Elements True Immortal.
Elder Hu materialized his form, staring blankly at the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable lying in the Immortal Coffin.
His expression dazed.
Even the unceasing flow of Qi from the gourd to the hands of the Five Elements True Immortal went unnoticed.
Zhong Heng looked up.
As a Tier Eight Array Master, he could discern that the nineteen Immortal Coffins formed a supreme array, tightly sealing the crack.
Otherwise, the moment Zhong Heng saw it, everything about him would have been sucked in by the crack.
But it seemed there was more...
Zhong Heng could see that the array was not a single sealing array, but contained other arrays...
To Zhong Heng, the seemingly endless Qi of the Five Elements had been exhausted.
The gourd flew out, returning to Zhong Heng’s hand.
The entire gourd’s luster was somewhat diminished.
Zhong Heng instinctively glanced inside, not a drop of the Qi of the Five Elements remained...
For a moment, Zhong Heng felt a pang of loss.
But now was not the time to mourn.
In the distance from the Immortal Coffins, silhouettes began to appear.
They appeared like stars in the void.
After absorbing a vast amount of the Qi of the Five Elements, the Five Elements True Immortal’s complexion had a slight flush.
He stepped forward, arriving before the crack. freewebnσvel.cѳm
More True Immortals were being alarmed.
The Immortal Source, power, even the essence of the Five Elements True Immortal surged forth.
Activating a hidden array within the Immortal Coffin Array.
A massive Scroll emerged.
The Scroll unfurled, revealing only part of it.
"God-Demon List..."
A half-broken God-Demon List.
In the numbed gaze of Zhong Heng, the crack was slowly closing as the Five Elements True Immortal operated.
Zhong Heng could feel that the Five Elements True Immortal was borrowing the power of the entire Jiuzhou at this moment!
The crack slowly closed...
........................
At this moment, Jiang Ming was somewhat dazed.
Among the nineteen Immortal Coffins was a very familiar figure...
Sword Spirit Heaven’s Immortal Demon Corpse.
In the distance, a familiar figure with a sword on his back appeared.
