Chapter 739: Mythical Accumulation, the Beginning of Change

Cold, thick fog surged constantly before his eyes.

It felt like passing through thick silt, and his movements were very sluggish.

Li Yan was not surprised by this; it was the same feeling last time, and even thinking about it carefully, it was the same principle every time he took a living Yin messenger mission.

It was just that the Netherworld Yin Office used the "Owl Venerable" to connect with the "Official Document," forming a stable channel, which could communicate and transmit divine Gang, summoning the Yin Office's troops.

And the Nuo mask of Erlang Erlang Zhenjun was just a prototype, and it had to be done sneakily to avoid being discovered and violating Heavenly Law.

Not long after, the thick fog before his eyes gradually dissipated.

When his vision became slightly clearer, he was already in a vast darkness.

It felt like being in the void of the universe, boundless and limitless.

The only things he could see were the tree-branch-like light spots ahead.

Li Yan knew that those were the small worlds in the Great Luo Dala Fajie.

Netherworld, Pure Land, Heavenly Court... and other existences in mythology.

But this time, he had a different discovery.

Those light spots looked like tree branches, but if one calmed down and distinguished them carefully, they were more like another structure:

An ant nest!

All the light spot structures had a core.

Starting from the core, other light spots spread outward, really like ants digging holes, crooked and twisted, eventually forming these tree-branch-like light spots.

Pure Land, Heavenly Court, and Netherworld were connected precisely because of this.

Li Yan frowned, his heart moved.

He inexplicably felt that this should be one of the secrets of the Great Luo Dala Fajie.

Swish!

Before he could think more, a strong suction force came.

The aura of the bronze Nuo mask pulled him, and his vision also pulled closer rapidly, but the direction of his advance was different from last time; it was at the connection point of two clusters of tree-branch light spots.

Li Yan also suddenly remembered that the Five Paths General had hinted that because Erlang Erlang Zhenjun was difficult to arrange in the Netherworld, he went to guard the connection point between the Netherworld and the Heavenly Court.

The thought flashed and vanished, and the majestic scene rushed toward him:

Different from what Li Yan imagined, as a connection point between the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld, there was no immortal Qi lingering or Yin wind howling here, but a piece of deathly silent and wild desolation.

As far as the eye could see, it was all a solidified magma plain as red as blood, covered with thick, lifeless chaotic dust and sand.

The heavenly light was dark and unclear, and everything exuded a cold and hard luster.

The horizon was boundless, but in the middle, there were a large number of twisted, continuous gray-brown rock wall faults, forming ferocious, steep, and bottomless canyons.

It looked like a crack in the earth, and also like the collision and collapse of the mantle.

Looking toward the end of the earth on the left, the sky there presented a solidified pale green color, and deep in the earth cracks, the scorching light of molten lava shone through, and the ground was covered with sharp, glass-like substances, looking like swords inserted obliquely into the sky.

Occasionally, one could see huge, pale boulders full of holes leaning on the ground, with blurred remnants of giant Pan patterns or broken column bases on them.

They should have been some kind of magnificent architecture, but they had long since been eroded by wind and sand of all their splendor, leaving only the coldness of the mineral essence...

And on the right side, it was even more gloomy and deathly silent.

The sky sank into a deep purple twilight, and the earth was covered with thick black basalt and cold gray hard clay, looking like an ancient dried-up riverbed.

On the riverbed, countless huge and strange skeletons were scattered, some still wrapped in the remnants of giant bronze chains...

This scene before his eyes was simply like a battlefield of gods and demons!

Li Yan was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

He looked toward the center where the two converged; it was clearly an architectural ruin, the style ancient and simple, and he didn't know what era it was from, having long since collapsed.

But even if only the stone foundation remained, it was comparable to a small mountain.

At the top of the ruins, a person was sitting quietly with his back to him.

It was precisely Erlang Erlang Zhenjun!

At this moment, Li Yan was not a physical body, but observing through the bronze Nuo mask, so with a movement of his mind, his vision pulled closer rapidly, arriving at the top of the ruins.

"You've come..."

A hoarse and cold voice rang out; it was Erlang Erlang Zhenjun.

Without waiting for Li Yan to be surprised, he continued: "No need to be surprised, this is the Two-Boundary Mountain; neither the 'Yin Law' nor the 'Heavenly Law' can detect it."

Li Yan opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn't make a sound.

And Erlang Erlang Zhenjun also floated up slowly and turned around.

After a long time, his appearance changed again, completely different from Yang Chenghua in the mortal world; his skin carried a moist luster, more like a god idol in a temple.

He also didn't open his mouth, only the golden light between his brows flickered, and with the rhythm, the voice rang in Li Yan's mind: "This is the dream-entry technique performed by borrowing the Nuo mask I left behind. Your cultivation is not enough, and it is difficult for your soul to communicate with me."

"I will speak, you just listen with peace of mind..."

Seeing Li Yan nod, he turned around and looked into the distance. "At first, I wasn't interested in this Great Luo Dala Fajie, just because of the promise to communicate with you, but after investigating during these days, I discovered that there are many secrets here."

If an outsider were to see this at this moment, it would be Erlang Erlang Zhenjun talking to himself.

And Li Yan was deeply attracted, listening intently.

"The origin of the Dala Fajie can no longer be verified; perhaps only the most top-tier immortal gods, such as the Three Pure Ones, Four Sovereigns, and Tathagata Buddha, know the inside story, but they are hidden deep in the Great Luo, only occasionally sending down Dharma decrees through boys. Since I ascended to the Great Luo, I haven't seen any of them..."

"In the Dala Fajie, there are three grades of immortal gods."

"The first is the True Immortal; a mortal's cultivation at the ninth level, achieving the Yang Spirit, is the peak of the mortal world, having the opportunity to ascend to immortality, shedding the mortal body, coming to the Great Luo Dala Fajie, and practicing diligently, then there is a chance to step into the tenth level of cultivation, from then on becoming a True Immortal."

"From the tenth level to the twelfth level of cultivation are all True Immortals. Most of those I have seen are True Immortals; many find it difficult to break through until the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, because the incense in the mortal world is rich, and I have reached the tenth level, so I am feared by others..."

"The second is the Heavenly Immortal, equivalent to the thirteenth to fifteenth levels of cultivation. Reaching this realm, one is already a giant in the Dala Fajie, such as the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of the Nine Heavens and the Ten Kings of Hell, all are like this..."

"Going up further is the Great Luo, the sixteenth to eighteenth levels of cultivation, all can open up another cave heaven in the Dala Fajie, and many Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals are under their protection; they are the true masters of the Dala Fajie..."

"As for the Netherworld and the Heavenly Court, some living beings will also appear, for example, the Heavenly Court will have maids and spiritual officials, the Netherworld has evil ghosts and demons, and the Pure Land of the Buddha Realm has flying celestials. They cannot fall into the mortal world; the reason for their birth is perhaps related to human belief..."

Listening to Erlang Erlang Zhenjun's words, the scene from just now suddenly reflected in Li Yan's mind.

Looking from the void, the tree-branch-like light spots of the Dala Fajie, could the voids they divided be the Great Luo opening them up?

He really wanted to ask, but Erlang Erlang Zhenjun clearly didn't take this seriously, continuing in a deep voice: "This is the general situation of the Dala Fajie; it is not difficult to inquire about, just that it hasn't been leaked due to the constraints of the 'Heavenly Law'."

"But I discovered something even more important!"

Having said that, he tilted his body and flew out through the air.

Li Yan's vision followed closely, and the scene around him retreated rapidly.

Not long after, he arrived beside a deep canyon fault.

Looking down, it was dark and deep, with white mist surging.

The exposed rocks on both sides were clearly visible, ferocious and desolate.

Li Yan frowned, looking at Erlang Erlang Zhenjun.

This canyon was indeed magnificent, but he couldn't figure out why he had to come here?

Erlang Erlang Zhenjun didn't talk nonsense, directly pulling his vision and jumping into the canyon.

As his vision descended rapidly, Li Yan finally discovered the anomaly!

The rocks on both sides of the canyon were not isolated existences, but layered and squeezed.

This is... sedimentary rock?

Just as Li Yan was puzzled, Erlang Erlang Zhenjun finally stopped at one place.

And Li Yan also widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous. ===== CHAPTER 740 =====
