Chapter 462: Xuanyang Dao Field

"Fellow Daoist Li, have you made any discoveries?"

Seeing Li Heng lost in thought, Bai Laotou spoke up to ask.

"Is that place on our required path?"

Li Heng pointed toward a cluster of Gong Dian in the distance ahead.

This cluster of Gong Dian was extremely different from the surroundings. Although they were all extremely dilapidated, reduced to ruins, and had all experienced a great battle, the whole was still a head taller than the surrounding Gong Dian clusters.

In its center, there even stood a High Tower.

And this High Tower had miraculously not suffered any damage.

At the top of the tower, a point of light shimmered.

"This... isn't that the Xuanyang Dao Field?"

Guangnan Heavenly King spoke in surprise.

"Strange, the surrounding Gong Dian have already become ruins, why is that High Tower at the Xuanyang Dao Field completely intact?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly; it was indeed the Xuanyang Dao Field.

It seemed he had truly found the right place.

Bai Laotou spoke up.

"That place is not considered a required path, but it is not far from the required path. Could it be that there is something Fellow Daoist Li wants in that place?"

Li Heng nodded.

He felt somewhat surprised in his heart; if the thing that could strengthen the Lighthouse's light was originally in the Xuanyang Dao Field, then why didn't Xuanyang take it with him when he fled the True Realm back then?

Could it be that the situation was urgent at the time?

He shook his head inwardly, suppressing the question in his heart; in any case, he still had to go over and take a look first. Anyway, Bai Laotou had already said it was not far from the required path, just a slight deviation.

"It really is too strange."

"I can't figure out why that High Tower is so intact."

Guangnan Heavenly King muttered, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd were somewhat subtle; although this suspicion was indeed reasonable and necessary, were you not being too persistent? Did you want to see Xuanyang suffer misfortune that much?

"Since that is the case, then let's go."

Li Heng took the lead and stepped forward, heading toward the Xuanyang Dao Field.

Walking along the way, this was originally the Tiangong Shengjing, but now it was dilapidated and ruined everywhere, with mottled dark red bloodstains scattered on the walls, as if a great battle were leaping out before their eyes, making one think deeply and feel terrified.

However, what was unexpected was this.

They did not see the corpses of the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods.

"There must be something fishy about this."

Bai Laotou said decisively.

"Perhaps those corpses are not on this plane."

After thinking it over, Guangnan Heavenly King spoke his guess.

This plane?

Hearing this, the crowd was somewhat surprised.

Seeing this, Guangnan Heavenly King spoke to explain.

"Do you really think everything you see before you is the truth of the Heavenly Court? Is there a possibility that everything we see before us is just a small part of the truth?"

As a Half-step Divine, he vaguely had some guesses.

Li Heng pondered for a moment and also felt it was not impossible.

Since a past plane had already appeared, preserving the past of the Heavenly Court, then it was not necessarily impossible for another plane to exist, preserving the moment the Heavenly Court truly fell.

Of course, using "preserving" might be somewhat inappropriate.

It should be said that it is "trapped."

Trapped is the truth of the moment the Heavenly Court truly fell.

Precisely because it is trapped, he cannot see the Calamity or the monsters now. Except for the monster hidden within the corpse of Guangnan Heavenly King outside the Heavenly Gate earlier.

The reason that monster suddenly popped out.

Was entirely because of the appearance of the past Guangnan Heavenly King.

Because in his initial sensing, that corpse of Guangnan Heavenly King nailed to the Heavenly Gate had absolutely nothing unusual about it, other than having a bit of Calamity aura.

But when he pulled the past Guangnan Heavenly King to the present, the corpse underwent a mutation, and a monster lurking within the corpse popped out from who knows where.

So in a sense.

As long as Li Heng does not touch that segment of the Heavenly Court's past, it might be fine to wander around inside the Heavenly Court without fear of encountering danger, as the "truth" has already been trapped.

Li Heng recalled what Xuanyang had said before.

No wonder it was said that one could come to the True Realm to find things at the Void Dao Realm.

Not only because one can survive in the True Realm at the Void Dao Realm.

But also because of this?

"However, this is actually not necessarily a bad thing. If there are no Calamities or monsters on this plane, we can safely reach His Majesty's Gong Dian, and then borrow Fellow Daoist Li's power to return to the past plane, where we might only then see His Majesty."

After thinking it over, Bai Laotou said slowly.

Except for Li Heng, the crowd nodded in approval.

Just kidding, who would want to risk their lives with Calamities and monsters?

"We have arrived."

At this moment, Li Heng spoke to remind everyone.

They had already arrived outside the Xuanyang Dao Field; looking up, a magnificent High Tower stood in the center of the Dao Field, and that point of light at the top of the tower was shining ever more brightly.

"This fellow Xuanyang really likes to be unconventional."

"To think he actually built such a High Tower in his own Dao Field."

The Heavenly King of Guangnan curled his lips, feeling somewhat displeased.

However, he was not wrong; what ordinary Immortal God would build a High Tower in their own Dao Field, unless they were suppressing something?

"Let's go."

Li Heng did not say any more nonsense and stepped into the Xuanyang Dao Field.

Through the wisp of Qi that Xuanyang had given him, he could faintly sense that he was getting closer and closer to the thing that enhanced the Lighthouse's light; it seemed to be right atop this High Tower?

The others also hurriedly followed.

The moment they entered the Dao Field, it was as if they had passed through a layer of water, and in a single step, the Heaven and Earth seemed to have changed. But when Li Heng looked closely, he discovered nothing; the interior of the Dao Field was just as dilapidated as before.

Only that High Tower still stood tall.

But suddenly, a cry for help rang out.

"Save me, save me, is anyone there? Save me..."

Li Heng frowned upon hearing this and stopped in his tracks. The others behind caught up and happened to hear this cry for help as well; they were all suspicious and uncertain, looking toward Li Heng one after another.

"Something is calling for help."

Li Heng said calmly.

Not knowing if it was human or ghost, he could only refer to it as "something."

"Strange, could there still be living creatures here?"

Bai Laotou frowned, even though he was not alive himself.

"Come to think of it, it's also strange; I vaguely feel that cry for help sounds familiar, as if it's the voice of someone I know."

The Heavenly King of Guangnan said, puzzled.

Li Heng nodded.

"I also find it somewhat familiar. But staying here and guessing is no solution; the source of the voice is likely beneath that High Tower, let's go take a look."

He was not afraid that any accidents would occur here.

If he were truly afraid, he would have long since stopped coming to the True Realm.

As the group drew closer to the High Tower, cries for help rang out one after another, and the voices became increasingly clear, even allowing the group to feel the despair of this caller.

"Is anyone there? Quickly save me..."

"I'm about to die, I don't want to die, quickly save me..."

Finally, the group found the source of the voice.

A creature, pressed beneath the High Tower with only its head exposed, looking as if it were pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, was calling for help loudly.

But when they saw the appearance of this head clearly.

The Heavenly King of Guangnan was the first to be stunned, and he spoke in great shock.

"How is it you, Xuanyang!"
