Chapter 227: The Ruined Nine-Color Divine Realm

The duration of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office is limited.

Lin Chuan's greater desire is to investigate the truth of the Nine-phase World and pave the way for the future.

If possible, rescue his daughter Qing Fan.

This way he can also reclaim the power of the Twelve-Petal Annihilation Red Lotus, and the chain of events will affect the overall situation.

Lin Chuan's gaze leaves the Ziwei Star Domain and looks toward the higher Heavenly Dome.

At this moment he can already sense the abnormality of this heaven and earth, which is vastly different from the Era of Tianmo Chuan.

The most obvious is the world that surrounds the Nine Major Star Regions.

The Era of Tianmo Chuan, also known as the ancient early period spoken of by the beings of the Nine-phase World, was when heaven and earth first merged and transformed, and the nine Chaos Immortal Treasures established the five elements of the universe and the order of the Myriad Ways.

Heaven and earth thus divided into four realms.

The Mortal Earth's Three Thousand Prefectures constitute the Mundane World, the Nine Major Star Regions constitute the Star Realm, and both are Living Worlds.

There are also Two Realms that are special worlds, which only those who hold the Heavenly Dao Divine Office or reside in the Wangxian Realm can enter.

One of them is the Diyu Shijie, also called the Underworld.

In the beginning, the Tianmo Chuan held the Chaos Immortal Treasure Reincarnation Mirror and was the ruler of the Underworld.

The other is the JiuseShenjie.

Apart from the holder of the Reincarnation Mirror, the other eight Heavenly Dao Divine Office holders all reside within the JiuseShenjie.

The direction Lin Chuan now looks toward is the place where the JiuseShenjie once stood.

"JiuseShenjie... has vanished?"

"What happened?"

"Is all this related to the supreme existence spoken of by the Fu Guang Daoist?"

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and decided to investigate.

In his current state, he is qualified to set foot there.

After settling Ye Xue, Lin Chuan stepped forward, crossed the endless void, and arrived before the barrier of that world.

His perception grew ever clearer.

This special world is scarred all over, filled with a brutal war atmosphere.

Countless undead spirits drift.

At the same time, several auras firmly lock onto Lin Chuan.

Each aura's master is no weaker than him.

But they are no longer those familiar people.

Lin Chuan still remembers the friend who inherited his Heavenly Dao Divine Office, named Tianhu Shizu, who was the first Nine-Tailed Fox of the Nine-phase World.

Back then they formed a deep bond.

Tianhu Shizu helped him break free from the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, and he helped Tianhu Shizu settle the Fox Clan and defeat the peak true Deity Demon Ancestor of the Blood-Painted Star Domain.

Now, Tianhu Shizu's aura no longer exists.

All this is clearly related to the great changes of the Nine-phase World in ancient times.

After a brief thought, Lin Chuan stepped across the barrier and entered the special world.

"Soul, return!"

On the dead, silent earth, a whimpering murmur came.

"Soul, return!!"

The deep voice seemed to trigger a resonance of souls, causing Lin Chuan to furrow his brows.

In his sight, countless undead spirits rushed toward him.

The undead spirits are sword-wielding, armor-clad cultivators; unlike the demons of the Underworld, they lack the Underworld's yin aura,

but instead possess a righteous qi.

The vast righteous qi that protects heaven and earth!

Lin Chuan feels they should not be called undead spirits; the term heroic spirit might be more appropriate.

Endless heroic spirits surged up to three zhang beyond Lin Chuan, then halted, no longer roaring, merely gazing at him quietly.

Heroic spirits like tide water.

Lin Chuan is the unsinkable temple within the tide.

The call "Soul, return!" gradually weakened and vanished.

"What exactly is happening?"

Lin Chuan did not sense any malice from the heroic spirits, and even felt admired by these undead spirits.

As for the aura that locked onto him, it never revealed itself.

At this moment, a bold thought was born in his heart.

Could it be that these heroic spirits intersected with one of his past lives?

"Heroic spirits do not disperse, they await a person's return."

Lin Chuan, pondering, forced his divine consciousness to pierce this dead, silent world, and finally perceived its most unique point.

Nine colossal statues of differing colors divided the world into nine zones.

Each zone is independent yet interlinked.

Within the colossal statues, something appears to be sealed.

Lin Chuan wanted to investigate, but his divine consciousness was swallowed as soon as it entered.

"Above the Wangxian!!"

"Indeed!!"

Lin Chuan was startled; the dust sealed within the colossal form was a power from above the Wangxian Realm, the true Immortal Ascension Realm!

That is to say!

The Nine-phase World once gave birth to a true Immortal!

After experiencing the Ancient God Absolute Realm dream reincarnation, Lin Chuan found it unsurprising that the Nine-phase World birthed an Immortal.

On the contrary, it is an inevitable trend.

After all, in the Era of Tianmo Chuan, the world was only just forming and had ample room for growth.

When the Great World matures to completeness, it will, like the Great World of the Ancient God Absolute Realm, be sufficient to nurture Immortals.

And not just one Immortal!

The ever‑rising thoughts propelled Lin Chuan's steps, urging him to delve deeper into this world.

But a powerful resistance blocked him.

Lin Chuan did not force his way in; at this moment he did not belong here, and as a holder of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, he could easily cause trouble.

"Very well."

Thinking of this place, Lin Chuan left.

He now had an answer in his heart.

If he was not mistaken, that area should be the Ancient Ruins spoken of by the Fu Guang Daoist.

"In that case, the Wangxian Realm remains very dominant in the Nine-phase World."

"Then I can rest easy."

Returning to the Star Realm, Lin Chuan calculated the remaining time of his Heavenly Dao Divine Office, preparing to undertake a great deed.

The first task, of course, was to save his daughter Qing Fan.

Crossing space, Lin Chuan arrived atop the Shenshan that sealed Qing Fan.

With his current realm and the blood‑line resonance with Qing Fan, he could locate her without Guidance.

Within the crystal stone, Qing Fan slept.

"Has she turned back into her childhood form again?"

The tiny little dragon girl was extremely cute, like a child just waking from a deep sleep, her expression serene.

"It's time to wake."

Lin Chuan gently stroked the crystal stone.

In an instant, white Lotus blossoms erupted on the crystal stone, and the endless Qi of heaven and earth surged toward Shenshan.

"Heavenly Dao, I have returned now; the pact of those days is fulfilled."

"Surely you should not trouble Qing Fan any further, right?"

The fact was as Lin Chuan expected; after his tentative attempt to awaken Qing Fan, Heaven's Will gave no response.

It proved that Qing Fan could revive in this era.

To Lin Chuan's surprise, he encountered another obstruction.

The source of the obstruction was not the Star Realm but came from the Mortal Earth's Three Thousand Prefectures.

The Mortal Earth spans a vast region; though mortals are countless, the number of strong ones is not inferior to that of the Star Realm.

The many sects of the Three Teachings are all rooted in the Mortal Earth.

"Which Daoist Friend has seized Fo Men's Qi?"

The rolling thunderous voice echoed.

The one blocking Lin Chuan was indeed Fo Men.

Lin Chuan even had an impression of this blocker; in the Fo Zi Jing Shi reincarnation, he

that was the final scene of the Fo Zi Jing Shi reincarnation.

Yang Zu stormed into Golden Spirit Mountain, suppressing the Great Sun Fozu.

The one now preventing him from gathering Qi is that Great Sun Fozu.
