Chapter 526 - 374: Endless Chaos, Encounter with the Chiying Bird Again!_2
Taishang Laojun briefly explained the situation.
After his explanation,
He then said, “Jade Emperor, you use the rule of authority to investigate … and see if Xuanqing is still within the Three Realms!”
“Okay!”
Jade Emperor nodded.
Only after hearing the words of Taishang Laojun did he realize the severity of the situation.
To understand,
The present Xuanqing is not only representing himself, but also symbolizing the hope of the Primordial World, symbolizing whether this world can safely get through the erosion of the Endless Chaos in the future.
And if you want to check whether Xuanqing is still within the Three Realms, only he, the Jade Emperor, who governs the Three Realms, can do it.
“Go!”
The Jade Emperor waved his right hand, and offered up the Seal symbolizing the power of authority.
Then,
He held the Seal in his hand, closed his eyes, and began to use the authority to search the entire Three Realms to see if there were any traces of Xuanqing.
…..
Moments later,
The Jade Emperor opened his eyes and looked uncertain.
Seeing this,
Taishang Laojun, who was standing nearby, felt heavy-hearted. Even though the Jade Emperor did not speak, from his expression alone, it was clear that no trace of Xuanqing was found in the Three realms.
“There were no traces of that lad, and ….”
Jade Emperor hesitated, “and, even in my seal, all the causality related to that lad has disappeared without a trace.”
“This….”
Taishang Laojun was taken aback.
To understand,
Although Xuanqing had the Body of Merits that prevented the generation of Karma and was untouched by causation, it was only said that he would not be affected by the causation calamity, but it was not mentioned that it would make the causation disappear directly.
Strange, it’s really strange.
Could it be that…?
At this moment,
Taishang Laojun had an inexplicable thought. Could it be that Xuanqing had returned to his original world?
After all, the other party is from outside the Primordial World, and now he has improved in his cultivation and possesses the ability… It’s very possible that he returned to his own world.
If that was the case… sigh!
Even though he had such thoughts,
Taishang Laojun did not voice them out. He merely said to the Jade Emperor, “Emperor, perhaps Xuanqing has just cultivated a powerful divine power that caused this.”
“Perhaps… everything will be fine after a while.”
“Let’s hope so!”
The Jade Emperor looked solemn and sighed silently in his heart.
There’s a saying that if you’ve never seen light, you can endure the darkness.
When there was no hope in sight, they had already prepared to leave the Primordial World and wander in the Endless Chaos.
But now that Xuanqing has brought them hope, like a ray of light in the dark, how can they be at peace?
….
….
Just as the people of Honghuang were worried about the sudden disappearance of Xuanqing.
On the other side.
The endless Chaos World.
In the lush forest filled with raging chaotic Qi, creatures resembling insects of strange shapes and sizes leapt by from time to time.
Just looking from the surface, this is an ordinary primitive forest and nothing worth mentioning.
But if a cultivator were to come here, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
The scattered weeds that can be seen everywhere are actually Chaos-level spirit grass, and the unknown insects standing on them are emitting powerful auras, comparable to the Great Luo of the Honghuang World.
For those with insufficient cultivation… apart from the threat of these insects, the pervasive Chaos Qi alone in the air is enough to cause them immense trouble.
At this moment,
In the incredibly terrifying forest, the air began to ripple, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, creating circles of ripples spreading in all directions.
A Taoist wearing a dark blue robe and holding a feather duster suddenly appeared from the ripples.
“What a strong chaos Qi, this place is….”
Xuanqing shook his head, looked around his surroundings, and was full of doubts.
Could it be that I was sucked into the Endless Chaos World?
Suddenly!
An alert from the login device sounded in his mind, catching him somewhat off guard.
[Beep…Updating login device. Please log out as soon as possible!]
???
“An update to the login device…?”
Xuanqing was somewhat startled.
He hadn’t heard the word ‘update’ in a very long time, but the moment he stepped into this entirely new world, the login device started updating.
Could there be a correlation between the two?
Is a new map being opened?
Just as he grew increasingly perplexed, with various speculations arising in his mind…
An unexpected event occurred again.
“Tweet~”
A sharp sound echoed from the sky.
Above the forest, five or six bird-like creatures similar to the ‘Fiery Shadow Ancestor’ were flying, and they seemed to be headed towards Xuanqing.
Seeing this scene.
“Hiss~”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath.
The reason for this was that the auras emanating from these ‘bird-people,’ if compared to those in the Primordial World, were all at the Quasi-Saint Perfection stage.
What does that mean?
In the Primordial World, the only way to break through to the ‘Quasi-Saint Perfection’ realm is to undergo a process called ‘Slaying Three Corpse’. In this strange forest, these creatures appeared in groups.
Moreover, these powerful bird creatures were coming towards him.
If there were only these five or six Quasi-Saint Perfection realm bird-people, with his current strength, he was confident that he could fight them off.
But the point is…in this unfamiliar place, who knows how many of these strange birds there are?
What if a situation like the ‘beating the young leads to the old, beating the old leads to the ancestor’ that would only appear in novels occurs? Wouldn’t that be an endless hassle?
Retreat!
Fall back!
Without any hesitation.
Xuanqing exerted all his strength in utilizing the Heaven Devouring Saintly Art, connecting with the Space Law in his mind to locate the coordinates where he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation.
“Teleport!”
Splash~
Teleportation failed!
The corner of Xuanqing’s mouth twitched slightly.
He glanced at the large birds coming closer and closer, and finally came to a sudden realization. No wonder these strange birds are clearly enveloped with a Quasi-Sage’s cultivation but none of them used Spatial Rule Teleportation, they simply used the primitive method of ‘flying’ to get here.
Since he can’t escape… Let’s battle!
Golden light flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes. Since he had just broken through his cultivation, he would use these five strange birds to test his abilities.
The next moment.
The five Chiying Birds arrived in front of Xuanqing. Though they couldn’t use Spatial Teleportation, being at the Quasi-Saint Perfection Realm meant they weren’t slow.
“Chirp chirp…”
Oddly though, when these five Chiying Birds got to Xuanqing, they didn’t immediately attack, but instead surrounded him, chirping away.
Seeing this.
“This isn’t good, these little things are calling for backup.” Xuanqing’s heart sank deeper.
Originally, he thought that these Chiying birds were communicating with him. When he couldn’t understand their language though, he suddenly sensed that these Chiying birds were transmitting their cries through some kind of rules.
The saying goes, ‘attack first and get the upper hand, attack later and suffer!’
Xuanqing was already facing five Chiying birds at the Quasi-Saint Perfection realm, if he allows them to call for reinforcements or even their elders, wouldn’t that mean certain death for him?
He can’t possibly pray for their kind-heartedness, can he – passing the message to their fellow creatures and elders to bring him warmth?
In the real world’s sun, the cunning of that Fiery Shadow Ancestor was still clear in his mind!
With these thoughts in his heart.
He didn’t hesitate any further.
“Devouring Heaven and Earth!”
With a low shout, Xuanqing instantly transformed into a giant entity.
The size of his body made the towering forest at his feet seem no more than moss.
More importantly.
After the ‘Swallow Heaven Saint Art’ had reached perfection and his physical body had completely merged with the Swallowing Sky Tree, the ‘Devouring Heaven and Earth’ had changed, it was no longer an illusory body as before.
It was… a real flesh and blood body.
“Die!”
Xuanqing lifted his right foot, infused with the surging power of the world, and with a momentum that covered the sky and the earth, he stepped towards those Chiying birds that were even weaker than dust.
