Chapter 449: I am the only one left

The Graveyard of the Sages.

Gu Qing had finally arrived at this region, the place of origin, the source of wisdom. As his footsteps were about to tread upon this area, Gu Qing felt the various changes in the Land of Origin. He felt the end of heaven and earth, a sun leaping from the horizon, and felt the various aspects of the void being annihilated.

"Someone has achieved the Yang Shen!"

Gou Li Shen Wang said.

"It is Meng Shenji!"

Meng Bingyun confirmed.

In the battle at the Imperial City, Meng Shenji had blood-sacrificed countless experts of the Pan Star Central World, and his accumulation had reached an extremely profound level. After arriving at the Land of Origin, he wantonly plundered in this place, seizing various inheritances, and even encountered quite a few fortuitous events. In this quiet and unobserved manner, he had already taken the first step to reach the Yang Shen realm. This innate Taiji Great Perfection at the level of the Soul Spirit allowed Meng Shenji's strength to increase manifold.

The Graveyard of the Sages, which they were originally supposed to go to, had become a den of dragons and tigers at this moment.

"You cannot go in any further."

Gu Qing felt the aura inside and said, "Once inside, I may not be able to protect you all." As he spoke, Gu Qing circulated the Immortal Monument, right outside the Graveyard of the Sages, causing everyone to stop there. He hung a round mirror of light among them, allowing everyone to see the events within the Graveyard of the Sages through this light.

There were layers of mechanisms inside, but at this time, Gu Qing bypassed them one by one. His footsteps trod upon the void, and everything around him did not interfere with him.

They grew together without harming each other; they ran in parallel without contradicting each other.

The aura around Gu Qing could no longer be described merely as the Unity of Heaven and Man.

At the very center of the Graveyard of the Sages, there was a long rainbow bridge hanging down from the sky. On one end, it connected to the Graveyard of the Sages, and on the other, it hung in the void, waiting to connect to the distant and mysterious Other Shore.

The Changsheng Dadi sat cross-legged upon this Bridge of the Other Shore. This was the highest point of the heaven and earth universe, and also the place where the Dao was born.

The Changsheng Dadi wore an ancient Daoist robe, his eyes as if they could pierce through time and space. He spoke indifferently, "The heaven and earth universe of this place was originally a chaotic mass, but the appearance of the Bridge of the Other Shore elevated this place. Standing upon the Bridge of the Other Shore, one can see the River of Time, yet the limits of the River of Time cannot be seen clearly. Precisely because of this, we established the Eternal Bet here to decide the fate of all living beings."

Whether it was the Changsheng Dadi or the Sages of the Middle Ages, what they ultimately sought was to transcend to the Other Shore.

But how one should transcend to the Other Shore, no one could say for sure. However, now, the Changsheng Dadi looked at Gu Qing, and he also saw the hope of transcending to the Other Shore.

"Your appearance has brought variables to this world."

The Changsheng Dadi said affirmatively.

After knowing of Gu Qing, Yi Zi was no longer important, and the Eternal Bet was no longer important. The Changsheng Dadi looked at Gu Qing, stretched out his finger to point at the extremity of the Bridge of the Other Shore, and said, "As long as you are embedded into the Bridge of the Other Shore, this Bridge of the Other Shore will be able to point to a mysterious Other Shore. That is a brand-new future outside the heaven and earth universe."

The Changsheng Dadi was certain of this.

Also certain of this was the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren. After Gu Qing landed here, it took him the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to appear in this place. And at this very moment, he was no longer a projection, but had recast his body by relying on the Origin Seed and the Heavenly Crystal, and his entire person had also recovered to his peak period.

"It is not enough; there is still Meng Shenji."

Gu Qing said.

The Changsheng Dadi looked toward the void. In that instant, layers of space were torn apart. Meng Shenji sat cross-legged within the Eternal Kingdom, his eyes bright. With one stride, he arrived in the arena.

Whether the Other Shore could be achieved, this opportunity lay with Gu Qing.

"The Immortal God King was swallowed by you, then."

Gu Qing saw the aura of Meng Shenji and knew the foundation of Meng Shenji's achievement of the Yang Shen. The Immortal God King, known as the "Son of the Dao," had a physical body containing the power to shatter the vacuum. Meng Shenji's accumulation had already reached the limit, and now that he had swallowed the Immortal God King, achieving the Yang Shen was a matter of course.

"It is just you left!"

Having achieved the Yang Shen, Meng Shenji's magic power was immeasurable. Light bloomed upon the Eternal Kingdom. After the eternal light of this supreme divine artifact bloomed, it instantly covered everything. This vast, tranquil, and distant magic power, which transcended everything yet was boundlessly violent, reached everywhere and entered everything, coming entirely upon Gu Qing's body.

The Changsheng Dadi and the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren both looked at Gu Qing. As Gu Qing applied his magic power, they finally saw mysterious clues upon Gu Qing's body.

Within Gu Qing's body, there were nine suns contained. These suns were in delicate balance, and the cultivation method was mysterious. When external power bombarded him, the formation of the nine suns would shift, allowing him to calmly resolve it.

"Boat of Creation!"

The Zaohua Mu Dao Ren gestured casually, and the Boat of Creation slipped from his hand at this moment, naturally returning to the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren's hand. At this moment, the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren's magic power increased infinitely upward. His entire person and the Boat of Creation merged into one, stepping on the River of Time, and slammed violently toward Gu Qing's body!

Gu Qing, being there at this time, resisted Meng Shenji with one hand and threw a punch casually with the other. At this moment, Gu Qing once again merged with the heaven and earth universe, colliding with the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren's body. It was as if he were using space to bombard time; time could erode space, and space could also influence time. Amidst the commotion of the two, the heaven and earth universe gave birth to the most primordial Dao airflow. Wherever it passed, heaven and earth changed, as if it had experienced the creation of the world once again.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded from within the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren's body, blasting dense bloodstains across his body.

"The Boat of Creation was yours at the beginning, but I have refined it for so long; how could I still let you control it as you wish?"

Gu Qing, being there at this time, extricated himself from the chaos, raised his hand to strike, and it was aimed directly at the Changsheng Dadi.

The Zaohua Mu Dao Ren's body cracked like a spiderweb, and there seemed to be regret in his eyes as he said, "I still wanted to have a good bout with you."

When he first met Gu Qing, the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren felt that the Boat of Creation was still his, and the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren remained calm about this. However, he did not expect that Gu Qing had already begun laying the groundwork at that time. Inside the Boat of Creation, Gu Qing's Taishi Soul Spirit emerged, circulating the formation, and began to influence the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren from the inside.

Meng Shenji's body turned, blocking the way between Gu Qing and the Changsheng Dadi. He fully utilized the Eternal Kingdom, and just like the Zaohua Mu Dao Ren before, he crashed toward Gu Qing.

Gu Qing pointed casually, and Meng Shenji's body, which was on the Bridge of the Other Shore, stiffened. At this moment, Gu Qing had already bypassed him.

"Hong Xuanji."
