Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World
It is unknown whether God is currently cultivating or sleeping. In short, Xu Zhen's prayer was not heard.
As soon as the spiritual energy came into contact with the stone monument, the Heavenly Connecting Stone Monument began to shake. At first, it was a slight tremor on the surface that could not be seen by the naked eye, and then even if separated by empty space, it could be clearly felt. The amplitude of the vibration grew larger and larger. The number of thunder snakes in space suddenly increased countless times. Looking around, it was astonishingly filled with the entire space!
Not long after, with the violent shaking of the stone monument, the color on its body actually began to change slowly! The whole white stone body became deeper and deeper in color, and as the color deepened, Xu Zhen's eyes also widened more and more. Because, the entire stone monument was transforming into purple.
Purple, why is it purple!
At this moment, even if Xu Zhen was an idiot, he could understand that what made him feel terrified on the stone tablet was not the stone tablet itself, but the aura surrounding it, which was the Hongmeng aura! That was the Hongmeng aura from the beginning of chaos, the ancestor of yin and yang!
Only he who has the Hongmeng energy flowing within his body can feel it, and only then can Xu Zhen clearly know how terrifying the massive amount of Hongmeng energy surrounding the Tongtian Stone Stele is! Although the Hongmeng energy above was colorless before, it should also be primary, but the quantity is really too huge!
Who would have thought that the spiritual energy emanating from his own body would be the last straw to crush the camel? It was this final burst of primordial Hongmeng energy within him, combined with the spiritual energy surrounding the stele, that triggered a qualitative change!
Xu Zhen did not know that the Hongmeng Qi on the monument was also primary, but it was fundamentally incomparable to the Ling Qi in his body. Those numerous Hongmeng Qi were only able to revert the surrounding Yin and Yang energies back to their ancestral state of Hongmeng by relying on the characteristics of the sacred object itself and borrowing the incense and wishes of countless devout followers over 50,000 years. Compared to Xu Zhen's body, however, they still lacked a hint of spirituality!
Xu Zhen's spiritual energy surged onto the stone tablet, as if it had been transformed, and this caused the vast amount of Hongmeng energy to begin transforming and developing in a more advanced direction.
The eye sees the snake raging and almost descending upon this world.
Yuexing's words had barely faded when seven figures suddenly flew out of the great hall, soaring into the sky with an aura that shook the heavens. The crowd felt a sense of pressure emanating from within their hearts! Countless eyes looked up to the sky, gazing at the seven figures flying towards the rift, countless hand seals were cast, preventing the thunder snakes from jumping out of the rift even once. They actually wanted to isolate these terrifying thunder snakes in that world!
"Thanks to the protection of the seven Shifu, all disciples followed me to worship the ancestral gate!"
Upon hearing Yue Xingyan's words, Xu Zhen knew that these six people were probably the Supreme Sovereigns behind the Seven Great Main Peaks.
Many disciples heard Yue Xingyan's words and immediately knelt down on both knees facing the Tongtian Stone Monument to worship.
Xu Zhen hastily followed suit and also bowed down, but after three bows, he felt something was off. With each bow, the spiritual energy inside Xu Zhen surged out, and more and more of it escaped. The first bow didn't feel anything, but by the third bow, the amount of spiritual energy that had surged out was already equal to what he would normally absorb in a day! By the sixth bow, Xu Zhen was starting to feel strained. By the seventh bow, his face was pale and covered in sweat. By the eighth bow, Xu Zhen didn't even have the strength to get back up. The ninth bow! All the remaining spiritual energy inside him surged out!
After breaking through the innate, relying on a speed that ordinary people can't reach. The spiritual energy accumulated by Xu Zhen in these days is much more than what ordinary disciples have accumulated in a year. However, during this grand ceremony of sacrifice, first the stone tablet appeared and took away a part of his body, and then the kowtowing and sacrificing rituals drew out all the spiritual energy from his body. If he hadn't been able to recover through cultivation, he might have even had the thought of taking his own life.
I joined the sect. I didn't expect that before even getting any generous rewards from the sect, they would take away all the spiritual energy I had painstakingly cultivated.
As the ninth watch came to an end, Yue Xingyan spoke out loud in the grand hall
"Please gather the void and return the sacred object!"
As his words ended, the gap in the sky began to slowly heal, and the lightning snakes struggled reluctantly within that space. The Heavenly Stone Stele began to disappear into the fissure. When the last crack disappeared, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Seven figures descended from the sky and landed on the square. The leader rushed towards Yue Xing and said
"The master's nephew is unaware of what happened, yet it triggered such a violent reaction from the sacred object, even we who are in seclusion can feel the change in heaven and earth."
Yue Xing's expression changed as he looked up at the sky above Qingxia Hall, which had suddenly turned a deep purple color. Everyone followed his gaze, including the seven emperors, and were shocked by the sudden change in the sky. The deep purple color was so intense that it was almost dazzling, leaving everyone mesmerized.
"The Purple Energy appears in the world, and the Sect is greatly prosperous!"
Yue Xingyan's absent-minded muttering was repeated by the seven great emperors, and even when facing the endless thunder snakes, their faces didn't change in the slightest before suddenly changing. Then a look of extreme joy appeared!
The seven major peaks of the Purple Mist Sect and thirty-two minor peaks, countless figures rose into the air, everyone's eyes were fixed on a purple glow above the Qingxia Temple.
That purple hue gradually began to expand, and before long, the entire Qingxia Sect was completely shrouded in a purple aura. Countless figures rushed out of their rooms, all the cultivators who were in seclusion woke up, and all the spiritual beasts leapt out of the mountain streams, staring blankly at the purple color in the sky. As the voice from in front of the Qingxia Hall spread, everyone involuntarily began to chant, their voices gradually merging into a torrent.
"The Purple Energy appears in the world, the Sect flourishes greatly"
"The Purple Energy appears in the world, the Sect flourishes greatly"
"The Purple Energy appears in the world, the Sect flourishes greatly"
“…”
In a boundless and majestic great hall,
A vague and elusive figure sat on the lavish throne that was beyond words.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened wide. In an instant, the laws within the entire temple seemed to have completely changed!
Ideas emerge from the law! Rules revolve!
Those profound eyes gazed out beyond the grand hall, and gradually, a nebula appeared in his pupils, gathering and condensing. It was actually beginning to transform into the primordial chaos of the universe's creation!
The figure was sometimes solid and sometimes illusory, making it impossible to tell whether it was male or female, old or young. It was even unclear whether the person really existed!
Completely like an illusory existence, making it impossible for people to grasp.
With a light wave of his hand, the grand hall's main gate burst open with a loud bang!
Outside the hall, the endless spiritual energy stirred up and surprisingly also had a tendency to transform into purple!
The figure on the throne stood up, gazing at the spiritual energy outside the temple, and burst into a fit of thunderous laughter. Then, a voice that shook heaven and earth came from the figure.
"Hongmeng purple energy, haha! It's actually Hongmeng purple energy! This time it's the emergence of the supreme lineage that governs the world! Floating Taotian Emperor. You have been entrusted with the Buddhist teachings to suppress my human tribe for nearly 100,000 years, monopolizing the title of governing the world! The vastness of heaven and earth, your Buddhist teachings enjoy the greatest fortune! But you refuse to share even a thread with my human tribe! My human tribe has countless sages who govern the world, great emperors of the past hiding in the void of the heavens, waiting for the next great emperor to appear and seal you away! Who would have thought that this existence about to be born is actually from my supreme lineage! Protected by the ultimate existences of my human tribe, I want to see who will fall, who will perish! Let's see how long you can still suppress the world's fortune!"
"You four tribes of demons, devils, spirits and gods, along with Buddhism, have been opposing my human tribe for millions of years! Wait until the genius in our tribe who possesses the majestic purple aura achieves his grand emperor destiny, then you will await the arrival of your destined judgment!"
The faint figure roared against the endless purple gas outside the temple. The spiritual energy fluctuated with each of these deafening shouts, and when the voices disappeared in the sky, the turbulent spiritual energy finally calmed down gradually.
With a wave of his hand, the endless pale purple spiritual energy suddenly faded in color and returned to its void existence. The doors of the hall slowly closed, and the figure on the throne occasionally hid and disappeared, gradually fading away until it vanished...
On Qingxia Mountain, in front of the temple gate.
Yue Xing's eyes stared intensely at the 5,000 disciples who had just joined the sect below, becoming the sect leader for nearly four hundred years, and under his leadership, he had recruited as many as two million disciples! However, he had never been so excited as today.
The purple energy appears in the world, and the sect is greatly prosperous!
These were the words spoken by the ancestors when they founded the Qingxia Sect, but after going through 50,000 years, the sect's disciples have accumulated to one hundred and thirty-four generations, yet not once has a purple aura appeared in the world.
One hundred years ago, during the heyday of the sects, the eight major peaks coexisted in the world. The Qingxia Sect was the orthodox Jiao Chu, with overwhelming strength! It was secretly the largest sect in the world.
Unfortunately, an accident caused the second-ranked Xuanmu Peak of the Eight Great Main Peaks to completely decline, and even fell several Supreme Sovereigns, causing a great loss to the sect. However, despite this, the Qingxia Sect can still suppress the other four major sects!
Now that the purple energy has appeared in the world, the number one sect in the world is still going to rise greatly, so... Won't the eight major forces of the world be divided, and the sect will...
Since the unification of the demon path 30,000 years ago and the establishment of the Demon Gate, the forces under heaven have been thoroughly stabilized.
If the world is divided into eight parts, the five major sects can occupy one each, it's just that their strengths are different. The other three parts are occupied by the imperial clans of various countries and countless large and small schools.
The Orthodox Path is led by the Qingxia Sect, occupying the eastern land. The Pingtian Palace, which is also one of the Five Great Sects, comes next, occupying the Northern Wilderness, and forms a mutual defense alliance with the Qingxia Sect.
Outside the Orthodox Way, it is considered an evil and heretical path. The Evil Path refers to Buddhism, which dominates the Western world. They don't care if you sincerely convert to Buddhism or not; as long as they think you have a so-called "wisdom root," they will definitely try to convert you! If not, they will send you to reincarnation to gain enlightenment! In the eyes of Orthodox practitioners, this is considered arrogant and overbearing. Among the Five Great Sects, it ranks alongside the Tai Chu Demon Sect, second only to the Qingxia Sect.
The Demon Dao is the first, the Tai Chu Demon Sect has the least number of disciples among the five major sects. It's not that they don't recruit many disciples, on the contrary, the Tai Chu Demon Sect recruits a large number of disciples every year. The cultivation method of the Demon Sect is to kill! Through killing to improve one's own cultivation, which results in many disciples being recruited, but very few truly achieving success. Many talented disciples died in the internal struggles within the sect. Therefore, once a Demon Sect disciple achieves success, it is rare for other disciples of the same level from the other four factions to be their match. The Demon Sect's martial arts, which aim to take lives with every move, also make the other four sects wary of conflicting with them. As a result, the Demon Dao occupies the fertile land in the central region, second only to the East!
Yao Dao, 30,000 years ago, the genius of the Yao tribe, the Purple Ape at the top of the divine beast, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly unified all tribes in the Yao Dao with lightning speed, establishing the Yao Gate.
The number of evil cultivators in the world is staggering, relying on their incredibly powerful physical bodies and innate secret techniques, even low-level divine beasts can challenge a small stage higher, and top-level divine beasts like the Purple Firmament Golden Ape can still stand undefeated after crossing an entire major stage! This is the terrifying power of evil cultivation!
It's just that the heavens are fair, and the extremely powerful demon cultivators were born with a strong body. Because of their powerful physique, the amount of spiritual energy required for advancement is also enormous, so they need to cultivate for a much longer time than human warriors. However, as compensation, their lifespan far exceeds that of human warriors. But if that's the case, then the demon tribe should be able to easily suppress the entire human path. The real reason that hinders the development of the demon tribe and makes the demon gate rank last among the five major sects in the world is the Thunder Tribulation!
The demonic beast advances, this is a heaven-defying behavior that surpasses the martial artist's cultivation of humanity. In order to eliminate these lives that do not respect the heavenly way, every advancement is a calamity of thunder!
Before the fourth stage, the demon cultivator was in a beastly body and could only transform into a human body after crossing the heavenly punishment of the four stages. From then on, when dealing with demon cultivators above the fourth stage, it's no longer about the stage, but about the tribulation!
The Spirit Master corresponds to the first three stages of the Demon Cultivator, while the Spirit Lord has become a four-stage Demon Cultivator. The Spirit Sect is equivalent to the fifth stage, and the Spirit King is the sixth stage. And the legendary seventh-stage Demon Cultivator is also the supreme ruler of the demon clan!
The thunder tribulation far surpassing that of humans makes the demon tribe need to bear enormous danger, thus, although the lower echelons of the demon gate are much stronger than those of the other four great sects, the number of top-notch strong practitioners is scarce, resulting in the overall strength of the demon gate being relatively weak.
And they occupied the entire southern border, this forbidden land of human monks.
