Chapter 292: 256: People's Hearts are not like the Past_1
Clouds swirling, Sha energy surging!
At the bottom of the abyss.
Atop an altar.
Three kings abruptly opened their eyes!
In their eyes, there was a color of anger!
“Who dares to act against our clan!?”
The first king roared!
“To have slain our Celestial Monarch, causing his soul to scatter… such a ruthless heart!”
The second king also spoke solemnly, “This great enmity, we must avenge!”
Upon seeing this, Beichen Immortal King’s face changed, and he said,
“Your Majesties, what has happened?”
The third king spoke indifferently,
“We sent a Celestial Monarch to annihilate your Beichen Immortal Country and then attack the White Tiger Immortal Nation.”
“But he is dead, his soul destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, Beichen Immortal King was utterly astonished!
Dead…
That was a Celestial Monarch who emerged from the forbidden lands.
Even if he encountered an Immortal Heavenly King from the outside world, he would have the power to fight!
How could this be…
“Predict! Investigate this cause and effect!”
The third king commanded at once!
Immediately, the three great kings joined forces!
A series of nearly fantastical scenes instantly appeared.
That was Beichen Immortal Country.
Beichen Immortal King saw a terrifying Sha Spirit Giant Python devouring one Immortal City after another.
Countless subjects turned into blood food.
Yet his face was so indifferent.
As if he were observing a foreign scene.
Immediately after, that terrifying python, having slaughtered Beichen Immortal Country, rushed towards the White Tiger Immortal Nation.
But then, in the scenes that followed, a strange white fog suddenly emerged!
“No!”
The three kings of the Tian Sha Clan immediately vomited blood!
The scenes disappeared instantly.
“Strange… terrifying!”
The second king muttered, “Could it be, could it be that an existence from the Land of Yang’s Prohibition has intervened?”
They were Hongmeng level kings, and within this forbidden land, unless powerful Holy Path Beings intervened, they would be unable to predict!
In an era before the Saint Descent, could it actually involve a Holy Path Being?
Their first thought was the Land of Yang’s Prohibition!
“We should not track this matter any further for the time being!”
The third king spoke solemnly,
“Everything shall wait for the Saint Descent before we settle the score!”
“Right now, we are not yet qualified!”
Upon hearing this, Beichen Immortal King was even more shocked beyond measure.
What kind of terrifying existence was involved that even the kings of the Tian Sha Clan didn’t dare act rashly?
…
Ren Jin Hua Hai.
In the midst of the bewitching sea of flowers, a woman’s voice suddenly came:
“Having returned from Qingyun Immortal Nation, a terrifying existence has taken action in the outside world, targeting our kind!”
In an instant, ten thousand li away, in Qingyun Immortal Nation.
That terrifying Forbidden Man-Eating Flower, rooted here, suddenly started running wildly, bolting swiftly towards Ren Jin Hua Hai!
…
Demon Spider Valley.
“Xuezhu, my child, has been harmed by someone!”
The Spider Queen was enraged to the extreme.
The vast web trembled.
“Although Xueming Immortal King did not die, his Soul Lamp has mutated… Your Majesty, it must be related to the Land of Yang’s Prohibition!”
Next to her, a man in a black robe spoke.
The Spider Queen’s face changed back and forth, and finally, she clenched her teeth and said,
“The Holy Clan is already on its way. Once they arrive, this matter must be addressed!”
“Even with the Land of Yang’s Prohibition, our clan also has acquaintances!”
…
At that moment.
In the small village.
Li Fan, utterly bored, was tidying up the courtyard.
“Seems like spring has arrived? It should be time for plowing…”
“When the disciples come back, I’ll take them to the village to do some farming.”
Li Fan murmured to himself as he watered the small sapling in the corner, tilled the soil and watched it grow ever more robust, already as tall as a man, gradually becoming lush with branches and leaves.
He also pruned the branches of the peach tree and so on, ensuring that the tree would grow better in the coming year.
“Hmm, recently, a whole nest of eggs has been laid; too many to eat. Perhaps I should save some and let the old hen incubate them?”
As he spoke, he used straw to make a nest and placed all the eggs in it.
The old hen, seeing this, excitedly clucked, positively thrilled, and quickly settled on the eggs.
Li Fan smiled as well.
He then went to the pondside to watch the group of carp in the pond.
“This pond is somewhat wasted; I could add some loaches or something to raise together later on.”
He planned.
“Master, we’re back!”
At that moment, the voices of Nan Feng and the others came from outside.
They entered through the gate.
Li Fan turned around, saw that everyone was well, and smiled, saying,
“How has the situation been handled?”
Nan Feng replied, “Reporting to Master, in accordance with your instructions, those who came to invade have been dealt with.”
Li Fan nodded and said,
“In the Immortal Domain, there will certainly be all sorts of difficulties, and in the future, I’m afraid there will be no shortage of such incidents.”
After all, the people of the Heavenly Realm were outsiders.
It’s not easy for outsiders to establish themselves locally without facing repeated challenges.
But upon hearing these words, many disciples shivered!
“Is this just the beginning? Is Master prepared for the various great battles that will follow?”
They pondered.
“Right, I think spring is about to arrive. I’ll take you to do some labor, let’s tidy up!”
Li Fan spoke up!
Hearing this, a group of disciples were overjoyed!
They hurriedly gathered all sorts of farming tools.
Li Fan sat down beside the stone table, took a sip of tea, and waited.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, he noticed several Stone Commands on the stone table.
Three of them had turned into normal rocks, the patterns on them all gone!
Li Fan picked them up and took a look.
“Are these fake??!”
Li Fan instantly understood that he had been tricked!
Someone must have substituted fake Stone Commands as antiques to deceive him and his disciples.
Thinking this, Li Fan let out a small sigh.
The human heart is no longer what it was; the ways of the world are cold!
He got up and casually threw the three Stone Commands into the trash can in the corner.
When the three Stone Commands were tossed into the trash can, they seemed to tremble, as if struggling.
But then, a surge of qi from within the trash can emitted.
The three Stone Commands directly cracked and turned into dust within the trash can!
…
It was at this moment.
On a hidden path somewhere.
This place bore the marks of time, a location of temporal chaos.
A group of people, as if they had traversed through time, arrived.
Their clothes looked like those from dozens of eras prior, extremely quaint, riding on an enormous ship with a terrifying qi, very mottled!
At the bow, a blood-red candle was burning!
An elder in a gray robe stood with his hands behind his back, excitedly muttering at this moment.
“We’ve finally set foot on the journey home; our clan is finally going back!”
He murmured!
Standing beside him was a man as elegant as a jade tree and handsome as a statue, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
“The ancient prophecy is always in cycle. Will the ancient path of the Yang Realm really open this time…”
The young man muttered, his eyes filled with certainty, saying,
“I am one of the Quasi-Saint Sons of the Ji Clan; in this life, I must secure that path for my people!”
He clenched his fists!
Just then, a pair of slender jade hands covered his eyes.
“Qingke, don’t be mischievous.”
The young man spoke.
“Oh~”
The girl behind him, dressed in a green skirt, stuck out her cute little tongue before letting go and coming to stand by their side.
“Big brother, you’re really no fun. The higher the cultivation level, the more you become like a rock!”
Ji Qingke said to the young man.
The young man kept a straight face and did not respond.
“Qingke, your brother Qingyun is just too tense.”
However, the elder smiled and said,
“He carries a heavy burden!”
“After we return to the Ancestral Realm, he will represent our Ji Clan in a contest with the geniuses of this world.”
Hearing this, Ji Qingke curiously said,
“Third Grandpa, is that world really our Ancestral Realm? But I heard that even the Immortal Path there is incomplete, and the Saint Path does not exist…”
Her bright eyes were filled with curiosity.
Hearing this, the elder let out a deep sigh and said,
“That world is the true realm of origins. The Immortal Path is incomplete, and the Saint Path does not exist, merely because we took the Source of the Holy Path with us. Once our family’s Ji Water returns to that world, the Immortal Path will be restored, and the Saint Path will reemerge.”
The girl asked with curiosity, “But Third Grandpa, isn’t that a good thing? Why aren’t you happy?”
The elder smiled gently and said,
“Qingke, you are still young. You will understand in time… You too will go through many things.”
At this moment.
In this disrupted space-time, the sound of killing erupted!
“Kill!”
From three different directions, terrifyingly large ships converged.
“Third Elder, we’ve discovered the time-space ships of the Dark Saint Clan, Shizu Clan, and White Bone Clan!”
A middle-aged man hurried over with a look of extreme horror on his face.
Third Elder’s face changed drastically, saying, “How is this possible?!”
But, in the next moment, a huge ship burst forth from the chaotic space-time.
“Haha, Ji Clan, you’re finished!”
On this massive ship, an old man wearing a Corpse Wrapping Cloth stood at the bow, exuding an aura of death!
Immediately afterward, two more giant ships appeared.
One from the Dark Saint Clan, one from the White Bone Clan!
Three massive ships, similar to the Ji Clan’s, each with a candle burning at the bow!
Only while those candles burned, could the ships connect with the coordinates left in that world, find their way home, and not get lost in the chaotic space-time.
They were here, ambushing the Ji Clan!
