Chapter Sixty: A Millennium of Waiting

  First update! Last day on the homepage, a strong call for collection!

  Wow!

  It wasn't until he was sure he had escaped the range of everyone's mental lock that Chen Xiao finally let out a long sigh, and only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked through with cold sweat.

  Just now was surrounded by Chai Le Tian and Su Jiao two groups of people, can be said to be in a desperate situation, Chen Yao was able to escape safely, not purely lucky.

  There are roughly two reasons.

  After a fierce battle in the ancient temple, Chai Le Tian and Su Jiao were already exhausted, while Chen Xiao's ability to easily kill Li Huai, who was at the Zifu boundary, undoubtedly made them wary.

  Secondly, Chai Letian's group and Su Jiao's group are mutually suspicious of each other, worried that when one side makes a move against Chen Tang, the other side will reap the benefits.

  Of course, there are many other factors, but relatively speaking, if Chen Yu did not keenly perceive the above two points and implement them with specific actions, it would be absolutely impossible to leave so easily.

  Even in this process, once a slight mistake occurs, it is possible for Chen Yu to fall into an irretrievable situation.

  Chen Tai didn't think twice and started sprinting with all his might.

  As time passes, Chai Le Tian and Su Jiao's powers will inevitably recover gradually. During this period, if he can't find a safe place to hide, everything will return to the previous dangerous situation.

  Nanman Mingyu and the world are isolated from each other. It is necessary to wait for three years before reopening, in order to walk out of it again.

  It can be said that in these three years, Chen Yao had to find a secluded place where no one could find him in order to avoid the pursuit of Chai Le Tian and others.

  However, what made Chen Tang feel helpless was that he couldn't even find a place to hide, let alone leave the Sword Immortal's cave mansion.

  When entering the Sword Immortal's mansion, relying on the Cave Dark Order, one can be transmitted in through the Three Talents Shifting Array, but what about going out?

  There is no way to get out of the Xian Dong Fu!

  Chen Xiao had already flipped through the entire map of Jian Xian Dong Fu in the core area of the main hall, and was extremely certain about this point.

  If the Southern Barbarian's Netherworld is a small space isolated from the world, then the Sword Immortal's Cave Mansion is an even smaller space opened up within the Southern Barbarian's Netherworld. Apart from the Three Talents Shifting Array that leads to this place, there are no other paths for entry or exit.

  It's really a case of when it rains, it pours!

  Chen Suo thought back and forth, his footsteps unknowingly rushing towards the main hall of the Sword Immortal's mansion.

  He was transported in and appeared in the main hall, subconsciously taking this place as his own lair.

  Soon after, Chen Xiao returned to the main hall once again.

  Looking at this simple room with only one bed and a desk, Chen Xiao felt much more at ease. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and began to rest.

  From entering the Jian Xian Dong Fu until now, it has only been less than half a day, but for Chen Tang, every moment is extremely thrilling.

  Searching for treasure, provoking chaos, beheading Li Hua, obtaining the Golden Spirit Lotus, escaping from layers of encirclement... one thing after another, each more perilous than the last, like dancing on the tip of a knife; one misstep and it's game over. Even Chen Yao's physique, tempered to its strongest state, was greatly overwhelmed.

  Gradually——

  The faint cool breeze emanating from the jade bed calmed Chen Tai's mind and dispelled all distractions.

  Inside the sea of knowledge, the ancient and vast aura of the Fuxi divine image was emitting billions of soft lights as usual. Chen Tai's divine soul sat quietly in front of the divine image with a peaceful expression.

  His tense nerves were calming down, and his spirit and physical strength were recovering bit by bit. Unbeknownst to him, a black shadow like fog was quietly appearing inside the jade bed under his buttocks.

  Whoosh!

  Chen Yao's body stiffened, and he felt as if something had emerged from within him, rushing towards his sea of consciousness at an incredible speed.

  What's going on?

  Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, but before he could understand everything, he only felt a loud hum in his mind, and then a sharp, hoarse voice boomed loudly.

  "Hehehe...... After waiting for tens of thousands of years, I finally got a perfect body! Heaven didn't disappoint me!"

  Along with the sound, a black shadow suddenly appeared in Chen Xuan's sea of consciousness. His cheek was thin and pale, his eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were long and narrow like a knife edge, shining exceptionally brightly.

  "Haha... With this body, I can restart my cultivation and have a Qilin cub again. And with the Golden Lotus in hand, why worry about passing that damned 9th Heaven Stage?"

  In the sea of knowledge, Chen Tai's divine soul suddenly rose up and gazed at the black-clad man who seemed to have appeared out of thin air, shouting: "Dong Ming Xian Ren?"

  "Not bad, I suppose you little doll are also after the treasures hidden in my cave, and just used the Cave Seal to get in? Haha, unfortunately, your divine soul will be devoured by me, and your physical body will belong to me too!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, like a black misty figure, it was indeed the soul of Dong Ming Xian Ren.

  "Is all of this a trap you designed in advance?" Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he coldly asked.

  "Of course! Or did you think I left the immortal mansion and sent the Dongming Order to the outside world just for you to divide my treasure?"

  The cave-dwelling immortal gazed at Chen Tai with a mixture of pity and greed, his eyes gleaming with an intense longing. "Little guy, let me devour your divine soul obediently, your physical body can be used by my Cave-Darkness, but it's a great fortune that you won't be able to cultivate in this lifetime."

  "Hmph! Even if you've devoured my divine soul, you're only at the Innate Realm cultivation level. How can you possibly leave this place? Outside, there are many enemies who would love to kill me!" Chen Tai shouted loudly.

  "Kid, put away your little tricks, isn't it just about wanting to know how to leave the cave?"

  The cave-dwelling immortal glanced at Chen Tang with disdain, coldly smiling and saying: "Considering you're about to die, I can tell you, but..."

  At this point, the eyes of Dong Ming Xian Ren flashed with a killing intent, and he suddenly burst forth, transforming into a rolling black fog that enveloped Chen Tai's head.

  "But only after you swallow your divine soul, will I tell you, haha!" Looking at Chen Tai who was clearly frightened into not daring to move, a pleased and triumphant laughter echoed from the rolling black fog.

  "If you won't tell me, then die!"

  Just as the dark mist conjured by Dong Ming Xianren was about to envelop Chen Tai, a burst of bright cold light suddenly exploded from Chen Tai's eyes.

  Buzz!

  A sound as if from the ancient times echoed in the sea of consciousness, and immediately a huge image of an old man with a clear and gaunt face appeared out of thin air. He was barefoot and wore a hemp robe, sitting cross-legged in the void, like a majestic mountain that had endured countless years without being eroded. His eyes were profound and vast, surrounded by billions of divine lights, and as soon as he appeared, he illuminated the entire sea of consciousness.

  Hah! Hah! Hah!

  The dark fog transformed by the Dongming Xianren was immediately enveloped by the billions of rays of light from the Fuxi God statue, and like ice melting into water, it disappeared bit by bit at a visible speed.

  "Ah! How is this possible, it's actually the true body imprint left by a great being from the ancient era...!" The voice of Dong Ming Xian Ren was filled with endless terror, and he let out a shrill scream: "No——"

  In an instant, the dark fog was incinerated in the billions of rays of light, and in the sea of consciousness, the lingering remnants of the Dongming Xianren's dying words still floated faintly.

  Until it was certain that Dong Ming Xian Ren had thoroughly died, Chen Tang only then let out a big sigh of relief.

  Even if the one he faced just now was only a wisp of Dong Ming Xian Ren's divine spirit, Chen Tai felt infinite pressure, which was the gap in their realms, making him almost unable to muster up the desire to resist.

  "Luckily, I have the true body imprint left by Fuxi's predecessor. This time, it seems that I gambled correctly. If not, I'm afraid I would have been unable to escape this calamity."

  Chen Xuan's heart still lingered with fear as he thought about what had just happened, looking at the ancient and unchanging statue in the sea of knowledge, his heart surged with endless gratitude.

  Rumble!

  At this moment, a loud noise like thunder in the ninth heaven suddenly sounded, and the entire main hall shook violently as if it were an earthquake or a landslide.

  Is this main hall going to collapse like the Hall of a Hundred Grasses?

  Chen Xuan hastily stood up and rushed out, but what shocked him was that no matter where he went, there were violent tremors shaking the ground.

  Zhenbao Hall, Diancang Hall... All the buildings in Jianxian Cave Mansion are like volcanoes that have been sleeping for thousands of years, waking up at this moment and erupting!

  "What's going on?"

  "Hurry up and escape! The Sword Immortal's Cave Mansion is going to be destroyed!"

  "Go!"

  At this moment, whether it was Chai Letian and the others or Su Jiao and the others, their faces changed in an instant. Who dared to hesitate? They quickly shuttled through the buildings that were crashing down one after another, fleeing in disarray.

  Outside the Sword Immortal's mansion, the Gray Despair Zone, Blood-soaked Mountain Range, and Crimson Flame Mountains of the Southern Barbarian Hades Domain... were also being slapped about by the gods' hands without restraint. The ground was torn apart, revealing massive, shocking fissures that spread throughout the entire Southern Barbarian Hades Domain.

  The beasts are fleeing in a panic, with no intelligence, they are driven by the instinct to survive, frantically and terrifiedly rushing around. However, no matter where they run, they will eventually be swallowed up by the huge cracks on the ground.

  Crack! Crack!

  The void seemed to be unable to withstand this pressure, and it cracked into a number of pitch-black fissures. Those crumbling rocks had just fallen into the black crevices when they silently disappeared without a trace.

  At this moment, the entire Nánmán Míngyù domain is like doomsday, with earthquakes and mountain shakes, empty space shattering, as if everything will be destroyed in an instant!

  ……

  "Huh?"

  In the depths of the Nanman mountain range, a young man in purple robes stood on a cliff, looking up at the void with raised eyes.

  His figure was tall and slender, his cheekbones were exceptionally beautiful, his eyes seemed like a lake, and there were two purple thunderbolts rotating in his pupils, as if the blood sunset glow shone on his face, adding a touch of mysterious aura to him.

  "Interesting, is this ruin in the rift of space going to be destroyed?"

  The purple-robed young man's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all voids and barriers, allowing him to see some scenes that ordinary people could not see.

  "Hmm, it seems there are still people who haven't come out. These days have been filled with too many killings, although they were all just beasts. But if Master finds out, I'll be scolded to death for sure. Never mind, let's just consider this a good deed and accumulate some merit..."

  The young man in purple robes stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment before suddenly reaching out to grab at the air.

  PS1: These two days, I've been busy finding a new place to live and moving, so I can only code in the afternoons and evenings. Please forgive me for the delay. Once things settle down, I will strictly follow the update schedule posted at the top of the book review section.

  PS2: This volume ends here, and the next volume "Yaozu Fengyun" is about to open its curtain!
