Chapter 627

Seeing Yan Shu stood on the airship. He drove his flying sword to the outer ring of the Imperial Capital in the Central District, then stopped his sword light, parking on the advertising airship navigated by Qian Chen's satellite to avoid provoking the experts of the Central District capital to swarm out.

Although Seeing Yan Shu acted with quite a bit of the heroic spirit of a swordsman and was unconstrained by small details, compared to Qian Chen, he was still a good child through and through!

He couldn't do something like forcing all the experts on Earth to the moon to facilitate his own actions.

Or the bastard thing of forcibly saving a world destroyed by his own demonic nature...

Under the cover of the Great Array of Celestial Stars in the sky, the airship sailed swaggeringly toward the MY District of the Imperial Capital. On the flat, skateboard-like hull, a large three-dimensional holographic projection advertisement was still flashing.

In the advertisement, Daoist Elder Yu Chen stepped on a black lotus, and the three great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Generals—Blood River, Netherworld, and Destruction—had demonic bodies ten thousand feet tall, with demonic flames soaring to the heavens, sweeping away a group of cultivators in the immortal mountains overseas of Shushan, their arrogance unbelievable.

Then Daoist Elder Yu Chen slashed through the void with his sword, arriving in outer space overlooking the planet.

The confused people in the Central District below looked at the airship and screamed: "Is this a new Western Kunlun promotional video?"

"A surprise for the server shutdown?"

In the projection, a twisted sword light slashed through the galaxy, cutting straight through the huge mother ship of the Skyborne Shaolin in the sky, the Buddha City.

The incomparably majestic and magnificent Skyborne Shaolin in the sky in space crumbled like windblown sand...

The twisted singularity swallowed everything, and the group of martial cultivators wearing mecha, like Buddhist Vajra protectors, were swallowed by a gourd that drilled out of the void crack!

All images froze, and a line of large characters appeared on the airship—Virtual Masterpiece "Western Kunlun" Latest Expansion Pack: Heavenly Spirit Pearl!

The Supreme Supreme Tian Mo descends, and all things are created by the mind.

He transforms time and space, and all living beings play freely!

Annual boss, Supreme Supreme Tian Mo from beyond the realm, Supreme descends, exterminating all immortals, demonizing "Western Kunlun"!

Brand new expansion pack—"Ancient Demonic Tribulation" goes online, Lingkong Immortal Realm map opens!

Daoist Elder Yu Chen sets up the Great Array of Celestial Stars, defying the heavens and changing fate, cutting off the connection between heaven and earth, striking the immortals!

Seeing Yan Shu looked at these scenes beneath his feet, couldn't help but lower his head slightly, covering his face with his palm in shame, thinking to himself: "Bringing Junior Brother, this monster, to this world is our sin!"

The Western Kunlun Research Institute is located in the suburbs of Miyun. It is a huge building with ninety-nine floors, backed by a mountainous area. The top is a large hall with a steel dome.

The hall occupies one-third of the entire building, like a lotus flower about to bloom. The entire hall is built of titanium alloy polymer dense lattice metal. The building's lines are smooth, covered with cyan armor plates that look like top-grade celadon in the sun, and the overall shape is like a lotus lamp!

It is also a well-known landmark in the Central District!

The Western Kunlun Research Institute, along with four or five surrounding hills, was bought by Fantasy International. There is only this one main building nearby, which made it convenient for Seeing Yan Shu and the others to take action!

In the virtual world, Seeing Yan Shu flicked the True Martial Sword he had snatched back to his "home" by the little cotton-padded jacket. This core program of the system that controlled global missile launches and automated flying sword operations emitted a light hum like jade being struck.

Countless data streams radiated from the core program, triggering the deployment of True Martial technology around the world.

On the steel dome of the Western Kunlun Research Institute, True Person Master Chi Zhang smiled bitterly. The Western Kunlun immortals were now trapped on the moon by the Great Array of Celestial Stars and that cultivator from beyond the realm. Leaving him alone to guard the research institute, what use was that?

Even if he could block that green-robed sword immortal, he couldn't block the Great Array of Celestial Stars above his head!

Furthermore!

He couldn't block...

True Person Master Chi Zhang suddenly felt something and looked up toward Seeing Yan Shu's side.

I saw that on the empty airship, ten slightly twisted human figures made of shadows and twelve golden robots wearing battle armor, like ancient heavenly soldiers and generals, suddenly appeared behind Seeing Yan Shu.

They surrounded a young girl who was incomparably bright but slightly childish in her cuteness, and a woman in white with a cold temperament standing side by side!

The three of them were clearly riding an airship toward the Western Kunlun Research Institute, yet they had the feeling of driving a magic tool and riding the wind on a sword.

As Seeing Yan Shu reached out and pointed, the sword case on his back trembled slightly, and a heavy, confrontational momentum was taking shape!

"Is this an ancient cultivator?"

In a dark room in the Western Kunlun Research Institute, a thin shadow, carrying a white paper lantern like those used for funerals in the old days, looked at Seeing Yan Shu through the semi-transparent glass curtain wall.

The voice floated out from the lantern: "Arrogance exposed... courting death!"

An eye opened from the surrounding darkness. Its pupil was covered in bloodshot veins, and it whispered: "Ancient cultivators may not have declined in this era, but the Western Kunlun Mirror light is divided in two, reflecting the future. Therefore, this world has no spiritual energy, it is a dead silence, and matter is stable. It is in the era of the Taiji Epoch!"

"And according to that saint's classification, the Middle Ages cosmos has already developed to the Taisu Epoch!"

"Taisu means qi forms a shape and has quality, but has not yet formed a body. That is, the primordial energy of heaven and earth gathers into a shape, but is not yet fully stable. At this time, matter can still be refined into primordial energy! In the Taichu era, there was the primordial ancestral qi, born from the Taiyi Wu Ji. In the Taishi era, primordial energy condensed into a shape, but water was the true water condensed from primordial energy, and fire was the true fire burned from primordial energy. Only in the Taisu era does primordial matter dissipate and acquired matter is born, but matter is in the two-phase stage of material state and primordial energy state. Within matter, it contains both primordial energy and has also precipitated a part of acquired matter."

"Therefore, practitioners of the Taisu Epoch can still gather qi, but it is no longer like the Taishi Epoch, where one could become an immortal purely by gathering qi!"

"They need to remove the form from matter and refine the Taisu qi to use as cultivation resources. To cast divine abilities and techniques, they must also use qi to control matter, transforming it into water and fire, or driving mountains, stones, gold, and wood!"

"And Taiji is the foundation of existence, and matter is incomparably stable! In this era, primordial energy has completely stabilized, and it is difficult to refine matter into primordial energy again. Energy exists attached to matter!"

"Therefore, the power of techniques and divine abilities is difficult to manifest externally, and the path of qi refining has been cut off. However, Taiji is ultimately one of the five primordial epochs, and has not fallen into the acquired state. Consciousness and matter are opposed to form Taiji! Although they cannot refine primordial energy, only weird cultivators like you and me, who only cultivate nature and not life, and focus purely on consciousness, have the opportunity to prevail!"

"We weird cultivators all originate from that bronze gate..."

The weird cultivator holding the white lantern said calmly: "Legend has it that the other side of the bronze gate is the weird world opposite to this world!"

"Before the Taiji Epoch, the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth differentiated, and there was a confrontation between the Yu Yu Jiuyou Yin World and the myriad heavens Yang World. After the Taiji Epoch, all primordial energy completely stabilized, and the yin and yang qi mixed into the foundation of material existence. The Yu Yu Jiuyou also dissipated its primordial energy, transforming into the universe on the other side of the Taiji string. And that bronze gate is the portal to open that universe, and it is also the source of our power!"

"In order to transcend and become immortals, we weird cultivators once opened the bronze gate twice, allowing a group of seniors with profound Daoist attainments to transcend!"

The blood-red eye's voice rustled, whispering: "When the bronze gate was opened for the second time, I was still a small weird thing! I had just refined a weird object in the virtual network to establish my foundation..."

"The tribulation caused by the opening of that bronze gate... caused countless human cultivators to fall, and countless weird cultivators were also sealed, suppressed, and exterminated. It became a great tribulation that affected countless worlds!"

"That kind of terror, I still haven't forgotten it to this day!"

"We weird things cultivate by devouring our own kind and eroding the consciousness of living beings, ascending sequences and improving our Daoist attainments. But if we want to become immortals, we must find the only demonic nature that flowed out of the bronze gate to serve as a basis, so that we can transform into evil gods and cultivate into weird immortals."

"The weird immortals and evil gods in the world are numbered. Once the uniqueness of this sequence is occupied, one can only wait for the immortal above one's head to enter the bronze gate, or be devoured by one's own unique demonic nature!"

"Or convert paths and plot for the uniqueness of adjacent sequences!"

"The bronze gate has eroded countless worlds, and only then were there 120,000 weird immortals. Even if each world has a strong foundation, there are at most 108 paths! Every time the weird immortals are full, there will be an opportunity for the bronze gate to open! It has only been 6,000 years since the last time the bronze gate was opened, and the weird immortal who occupies my sequence only became an immortal when the bronze gate was opened last time. I can't wait anymore!"

The blood-red eye said with a kind of extreme madness: "I am about to be eroded and transform into a weird thing without consciousness!"

"Only by using the Western Kunlun Mirror to travel through the River of Time can I make a final struggle!"

"In this era, the bronze gate has only appeared for the first time and was just created by the Demon Lord! As long as I break through the Great Array of Celestial Stars, which is still very weak at this time, I can enter the bronze gate and prove my Dao to become an immortal!"

"Green Lantern Master! When the bronze gate was born, there were thirteen sequences. Nine were suppressed and sealed by the Great Array of Celestial Stars, and four were left outside. In these days, my weird god has sneaked into the virtual network and locked onto two of them! If you and I join forces, I will tell you the location of one of them!" The blood-red eye's pupil oozed strands of blood, staring at the green candle flame in the white lantern.

The candle flame flickered, as if thinking.

The blood-red eye urged: "What are you still waiting for! By seizing a uniqueness, we can immediately impact the weird immortal realm."

"That ancient immortal from beyond the realm who set up the Great Array of Celestial Stars must also have restrictions in this Taiji Epoch opened by the Western Kunlun Mirror reflecting the future, and cannot act at will. Otherwise, how would those fake immortals of the Taiyin Star dare to block him?"

"As long as we recapture the Western Kunlun Mirror, use the Western Kunlun Mirror to suppress the unique demonic nature to prove our Dao and become immortals, and then break through the Great Array of Celestial Stars and open the bronze gate, we will be the patriarchs of the Weird Immortal Dao! We will be honored as ancestors, and there will be hope for becoming Dao Lords!"

The green candle light flickered: "Acting in the upstream of the River of Time, if that ancient immortal from beyond the realm has not fallen, I am afraid he could crush us with one hand before we even travel!"

"The future is set, divided into five epochs. The saint who successfully opened the New Immortal Dao is destined to be that true saint of the Louguan Dao!"

"And the quasi-saints who opened the New Immortal Dao before him are all stepping stones! Since the Louguan Saint has proven his Dao, these quasi-saints have been deprived of their fortune. Where is there any chance to achieve the Dao Lord realm and live to our era? I am afraid they fell early on!"

"This ancient immortal from beyond the realm sealed the initial bronze gate!"

The green lantern flickered, whispering: "Cannot be underestimated!"

"Times change!"

"After opening a part of the New Immortal Dao lineage in this realm, there are no more legends of this Daoist Elder Yu Chen in later generations. It is clear that his fortune has run out! Ten thousand years later, the revival patriarch of the Louguan Dao of the Earth Immortal Realm returned to this realm, and by using the Western Kunlun Mirror to see the next epoch billions of years later, he had a realization, integrated the expositions of his predecessors, and founded the New Immortal Dao!"

"Dividing the five primordial epochs and the five acquired tribulations, setting the evolution of the heavenly numbers of the myriad worlds!"

The blood-red eye said coldly: "At that time, the Louguan Saint re-refined the Great Array of Celestial Stars. Wanting to open the bronze gate again would be extremely difficult."

"And every time the bronze gate opens, all the weird immortals of the myriad worlds fight for that thread of opportunity. Even if we travel to that time, it is absolutely impossible for us to enter the gate!"

The green candle flame flickered, as if it were about to be extinguished by the wind!

After a long while, a sigh came from the lantern: "Good! I will gamble with you once! But we will only seize the Western Kunlun Mirror from these ancient cultivators and open the bronze gate! As for the rest... we must not meddle!"

Within the Great Array of Celestial Stars, Qian Chen, sitting on the black lotus, sensed the two weird cultivators through the demonic nature in the Dao-Dust Pearl.

Suddenly, a strange look appeared on his face. He lowered his head to look at the Earth and frowned slightly: "The Lord of Samsara actually sent us ten thousand years into the past! However, it is normal for the world opened by the Western Kunlun Mirror to be in a weird state in the River of Time. It is not impossible for this realm to exist in the past and future, or both at the same time. What these people say may not be accurate!"

"However, why do I feel like they were deliberately sent back by the future me?"

"What exactly does the future me want to hint to the current me?"

Qian Chen pondered slightly, feeling that several black hands had reached out from the River of Time, using the Western Kunlun Mirror to play a game in this special world!

But he could not be sure which were played by his future self, and which were played by his future enemies to confuse the situation...
