Chapter 543: Old Friend Xuantian

【Strange Fire Pile: One of the ten curios possessed by the Multiverse Alliance, possessing the power to burn all known things, turn them into firewood, ignite the fire of the known, and illuminate the unknown. Held by one of the ten Supremes of the Multiverse Alliance...】

Multiverse Alliance?

Li Heng browsed this information carefully, his brows arching.

He had heard the term Multiverse Alliance many times before, and now it had appeared again. But what exactly was this Multiverse Alliance, and where was it? Also, what were curios?

Furthermore, he could not identify who that one of the Supremes was.

He had invested a great deal of Source Power into this appraisal, upgrading the Identification Function and Data Panel significantly, yet he still encountered unknown information.

Interesting, Li Heng's eyes lit up.

Did he seem to have caught the trail of a big fish?

It was a pity that he did not know if this Multiverse Alliance was hidden too deeply or for some other reason, but he sensed in the dark that if he wanted to obtain all the information, he would have to pay a lot of Source Power, or even Golden Source Points.

He shook his head and stopped his probing.

He had the ability, but it was unnecessary. Exhausting his Source Power just to obtain information was, in the end, penny-wise and pound-foolish; it was just spending money on the handle of the knife.

Besides, he could now roughly figure out some of the situation.

For instance, the Strange Fire Pile, which was listed as a curio, gave him a sense of the Absolute, just like when he faced that monster with Absolute power in the True Realm. Things that contained Absolute power and had Absolute characteristics were called curios?

Li Heng guessed in his heart, having such thoughts.

After gathering the two elements of Infinite and Eternal, he had been searching for the traces of the third, the Absolute Element he had envisioned; now it seemed there was already some progress.

He did not know where the Multiverse Alliance was located, but he could try to use the Causality left behind by this Strange Fire Pile to track down the spacetime coordinates of the Multiverse Alliance.

Perhaps it would be difficult.

But as long as he freed up some time, he should be able to do it.

He waved his hand and his power erupted, intending to take the Strange Fire Pile into his possession, but the Strange Fire Pile remained motionless, just like the fire had behaved earlier; it seemed it was not on the same plane.

Li Heng couldn't help but shake his head; he wouldn't be coy either. Cheating was the norm in the Great Void, and he couldn't play without cheating himself. He directly used his Source Power to wrap around the Strange Fire Pile and took it into his possession with extreme smoothness.

After finishing this, he looked at the surrounding Wuqiong Weizhi. Li Heng did not intend to stay; this place could be described as a place where birds don't lay eggs. He had no intention of exploring the unknown for the time being, so he simply returned.

With a thought, his figure disappeared from where he stood.

The Wuqiong Weizhi fell back into silence.

But whether it was truly silent or bustling, who could say for sure?

At this moment, Xuantian finally flew to the edge of the Xianshi Tiandi.

He looked at this vast World and was surprised in his heart. This was not because he was astonished by the scale of this World; as a Sacred born from the Heavenly Court, he had seen worlds of any scale.

Not to mention the infinite myriad worlds.

Even worlds within worlds, worlds outside of worlds, infinite nesting, like boxes, like stairs, like concentric circles—he had seen all kinds of vast worlds, and had even traveled through them.

What truly made him feel surprised was the essence of this vast World. This vast World seemed to have been artificially modified; its essence was extremely strong, and he, a Sacred, could not even see its future upper limit.

And its current scale was simply not worthy of this essence.

This was like a bicycle fitted with a star-destroyer engine. Although it wasn't impossible, it was a bit unreasonable, or rather, a bit extravagant; it didn't match.

It seemed this was also the handiwork of that Supreme?

Xuantian was thoughtful in his heart, although he did not understand.

Being able to create such a powerful essence meant that one had the complete strength to raise the scale of the world to a level that could match that powerful essence, so it wouldn't be so small now.

Could it be that they wanted to wait for this world to develop slowly?

Such a thought popped into Xuantian's mind.

Soon he shook his head again and laughed dumbly. Why was he guessing blindly here? Now that he was already next to this vast World, rather than guessing blindly, it would be better to investigate it himself.

Having made up his mind, he entered the Xianshi Tiandi.

Upon entering the scope of the Xianshi Tiandi, he felt that extremely familiar aura, and the accumulated sense of déjà vu finally overwhelmed the doubts in his heart.

This world... why was it so like the world Xuanyang had opened up?

But if it was that small world opened up by Xuanyang, why had it grown to such a large scale now, and why was its essence so terrifyingly strong? This was unreasonable.

He thought with shock in his heart.

But the more he sensed, the more certain he became.

This was the small world that Xuanyang had opened up back then! At that time, he had even left behind a legacy in this small world while he was at it; he just didn't know how his legacy was doing now.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he released his Divine Sense to search carefully, and soon locked onto the now-transformed Dragon Tiger Mountain; was this where he had passed down his orthodoxy?

He came to the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, arrived in front of that Enlightenment Stone Wall, his expression as calm as water. This stone wall was one of the treasures he had left behind before he had attained the status of a Sacred.

He hadn't expected it to still exist now?

It was just...

He observed it carefully, his expression becoming strange, and discovered that although the surface of the Enlightenment Stone Wall looked intact, its inner origin had appeared flawed and damaged—gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside.

What was going on?

Who could cause such damage to this Enlightenment Stone Wall?

He raised his brows slightly, feeling some doubt.

The Enlightenment Stone Wall was left behind before he attained the status of a Sacred, so in terms of level, it wasn't considered very high. But the materials that made up the Enlightenment Stone Wall were first-class in terms of sturdiness in the Great Void, almost impossible to damage unless one was a Sacred; why would it be damaged like this?

Unless someone had practiced enlightenment here, and the Dao they realized was extremely heaven-defying, directly absorbing the essence of the Enlightenment Stone Wall dry. But that was almost impossible, unless they were realizing the Dao of the Sacred.

But that was also unlikely.

Could a non-Sacred realize the Dao of the Sacred?

And a true Sacred would have no use for this Enlightenment Stone Wall.

"You are... Xuantian?"

Xuanyang's figure appeared beside Xuantian inadvertently.

Just now, when Xuantian spread his Divine Sense to probe the Heaven and Earth, he had not hidden his own tracks and had done so with great fanfare; even Xuanyang, who was in a state of cultivation, could perceive it and was startled awake.

When he sensed that this Xuantian, who was radiating Divine Sense to probe Heaven and Earth, had suddenly arrived at the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he felt the urge to investigate; the result was beyond his expectations—it seemed to be an old friend?

"Naturally it is me, who else would it be?"

"I didn't expect that upon returning to this old place, everything has changed, yet everything remains the same; however, it is ultimately developing in a good direction. The small World of the past has become the vast Heaven and Earth of today, and you have actually returned to your own peak period; has your Dao foundation been repaired?"

Xuantian asked while sighing with emotion.

A look of joy appeared on Xuanyang's face; this aura, this tone.

Although he had become powerful, it was indeed him!

"It really is you! I didn't expect that you, this fellow, had actually attained the Sacred Dao, and looking at your aura, it seems you have attained it for a long time."

Although it was not meeting an old friend in a foreign land, at this very moment, an old friend had returned. Being able to see an old friend who was still alive, and living well at that, he was extremely happy in his heart.

"That is only natural. However, you should have also advanced to Sacred long ago; it is a pity that you split your self into two back then."

Xuantian was also somewhat emotional.

"Oh, right, as I revisit this old place today, I discovered that the Enlightenment Stone Wall I left behind seems to have been damaged by someone, and it appears it was damaged not long ago? Who did this? I would like to meet them."

"It wouldn't be you, would it? But with your realm, you shouldn't need this Enlightenment Stone Wall; those who can make use of the Enlightenment Stone Wall are basically juniors in the Void Heaven or Creation Realm ranges."

He asked Xuanyang while pointing at the Enlightenment Stone Wall.

Xuanyang looked at this Enlightenment Stone Wall and was slightly stunned.

"Rest assured, it is just an Enlightenment Stone Wall; I will not do anything to that junior. Moreover, if that junior damaged this stone wall by virtue of enlightenment, I would even give them a fortuitous encounter."

"To offer some guidance."

Xuantian stood with his hands behind his back, his aura lingering and melodic, and smiled slightly.

Xuanyang's expression gradually became strange.

"Are you sure you really want to guide them?"

He asked with a subtle tone.
