Chapter 811 - 568: Scenery Within the Immortal Tomb
Chapter 811: Chapter 568: Scenery Within the Immortal Tomb
One step across the Yin and Yang, the secrets of heaven split in two.
This saying originally described a small Taoist cultivation technique in Hui State advancing to the Celestial Master Level, but Chen Zhixing felt it was perfectly fitting to describe the current state of Wuyou Immortal Island.
This is an immortal island situated in the outer orbit of the Celestial Profound Realm, so close that mortals, when looking up at the night sky, might mistake it for a star.
However, an interesting point arises.
This Wuyou Immortal Island does not appear at night, nor during the day, but only during the dawn and dusk of day and night transition, lingering on the orbit of the Celestial Profound Realm for an hour each time.
When Chen Zhixing and Chen Wanhong left the Celestial Profound and arrived at this orbit, they happened to witness the moment when this peculiar Immortal Island manifested itself from an illusion to reality.
A vast island, covering an area of half a million square kilometers!
Comparable in size to Jiangzhou, the island’s Spiritual Qi exceeds Jiangzhou by four levels, reaching the stage of the Blessed Lands, and its core location is not at all inferior to the Three Great Sacred Lands, even showing signs of surpassing them.
And this is the weakened state of Wuyou Immortal Island. If it were in its prime, the Spiritual Qi contained within might be two levels higher than it is now.
"What a good place, truly a good place."
Taking Chen Wanhong to step across the edge of the Immortal Island, Chen Zhixing had no intention of entering, initially scanning the surroundings of the island with a wary gaze, then spoke to Chen Wanhong: "Ancestor, are you sure the Great Dream Inheritance you mentioned is on this island? I sense that the situation here is not quite the same as when you discussed it with me."
Of course, Chen Wanhong was sure!
The scenes on Wuyou Immortal Island had appeared numerous times in his dreams over two thousand years, and every mountain and ravine was an exact match to those in his dreams; how could Chen Wanhong not recognize them?
Excitement.
The wait of two thousand years is about to bear fruit today. Even though Chen Wanhong had long given up any hope for this Immortal Island, he still couldn’t suppress the excitement within as he was about to set foot on the island.
"The inheritance of that Immortal Wuyou is indeed here, but I don’t know what difference you speak of, Zhixing. Forgive the ancestor’s lack of insight, I haven’t noticed anything for the time being."
"Hmm... maybe I’m overthinking."
Chen Zhixing was about to say something, but suddenly he saw someone emerging from a cave on the island, looking towards him, and thus he quelled the doubts in his heart, stepping towards the person.
In an instant, Chen Zhixing felt as if he wasn’t piercing through the barrier of a small incomplete world, but traversing the barriers of time and space.
Rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to pour into Chen Zhixing’s body at this moment.
Some powers of rules different from those in the Celestial Profound Realm also began to manifest around him, taking the form of Golden Dragons or Phoenixes, surrounding him and hindering his steps into this realm.
This is the world’s resistance to him.
The world is resisting a high-level outsider like Chen Zhixing from entering this small realm!
However, such resistance was destined to be futile. Chen Zhixing merely shook once, shattering all the causal rules entwined around him, and by the time he appeared before Wang Chuan, the heavenly phenomena of dragons and phoenixes around him had vanished without a trace.
"Chen Zhixing, Chen Wanhong, what brings you to Wuyou Immortal Tomb?" Wang Chuan’s voice echoed in front, rigid and whimsical yet aloof, reminiscent of a tomb guardian.
Chen Zhixing remained silent, eyes forced open, body relaxed, staying in place to feel the rules and spirit charm of this small realm.
Seeing this, Chen Wanhong had no choice but to step forward and said, "Chen Wanhong greets the Tomb Guardian True Monarch. My visit alongside Zhixing to Wuyou Immortal Tomb is to inherit the Immortal’s legacy here. I hope the True Monarch will accommodate us."
Chen Wanhong’s purpose of coming here to inherit Immortal Wuyou’s legacy was an agreement made with the Celestial Saint Palace two thousand years ago, and he couldn’t imagine the Celestial Saint Palace would go back on its word.
However...
"Inherit what legacy? This grand tomb is a forbidden land designated by the Celestial Saint Palace. There is no legacy for you to inherit. Leave."
To Chen Wanhong’s surprise, Wang Chuan outright rejected him, even denying the promise made with him years ago.
Chen Wanhong was dumbfounded by the response.
He was not shocked because Wang Chuan was unyielding and denied the promised deal of the Celestial Saint Palace from two millennia ago but was bewildered because he had brought Chen Zhixing, one of the strongest Star Venerables of the current era and a younger member of his own bloodline. Despite that, Wang Chuan blatantly refused and denied the Celestial Saint Palace’s previous promise right in front of them! What was Wang Chuan trying to do?
Had he gone mad?
Or been tainted by the immortal corpse in this place?
Knowing that if he had come alone and encountered such a situation, Chen Wanhong might have felt grim and upset, thinking the Celestial Saint Palace lacked integrity in denying its two-thousand-year-old promise. But now, with a Star Venerable with shared bloodline standing right behind him, Chen Wanhong could only conclude that Wang Chuan had gone mad!
What else could prompt someone to do something so foolish?
The Celestial Saint Palace and Ziwei Mountain have been allies for three thousand years. Now, with the rise of the Ziwei Chen Family giving rise to a Star Venerable like Chen Zhixing, and their family being sought by the Celestial Saint Palace’s Star Venerable, Chen Wanhong couldn’t fathom why Wang Chuan would reject him, leaving him to assume Wang Chuan had lost his mind!
