Gathering Immortals by the Hundred Thousand to Open the Heavenly Gate
The smell is too strong. Is it someone I know? Hearing this, Wang Xuan instantly understood what was going on.
"A broken box!" Sure enough, the Imperial Dao Spear revealed the answer.
This is the only treasure it has ever lost a battle against after a conflict. Throughout so many Mythological Era, it has been a formidable force that has fought in countless battles.
The Imperial Dao Spear has damaged or broken more than one or two treasures, and it has a bad reputation even in the outer universe. It has fought with the Shake Dao Hammer and was even called a "villain" by the Great Red Sky Saber.
Only "Ancient and Modern" – the Imperial Dao Spear chased them from the moon to Cloud City, and then to the cosmic rift in the secret realm of outer space, fighting all the way, but never gained any advantage.
Moreover, what's most terrifying is that the other party never revealed its true form, remaining hidden in an old Black Wood Box, leaving it seething with resentment.
"The problem is quite serious." Wang Xuan pondered. Is this contraband really going to return to the Supernatural Central World?
For whom is it fighting?
Was it summoned by someone, or did it choose to return on its own?
Wang Xuan believed that what the artifact said was not false; it was probably really going to leave, and it possessed terrifying power.
He had slaughtered senior demon spirits like Yan Dao and Mu Han in the starry sky, and learned many secrets. The past and present are undergoing transformation, and judging from the current signs, it may have succeeded.
The contents of the Black Wood Box were terrifying enough in the past, but now they are beyond comprehension.
"It's up to something big, should we stop it?" The Imperial Dao Spear is extremely warlike, foul-mouthed, and indeed quite powerful. It has fought against There Are Supreme Treasures it has ever seen in its life, without exception.
It is obvious that it has not been able to beat "Gujin" and is still resentful and unconvinced.
"Are you ready to merge with the flag and the First Killing Array Diagram?" Wang Xuan asked, subtly advising against starting a war.
The Imperial Dao Spear glowed, its patterns of both body-slaying and god-slaying intertwined, but it ultimately held back and remained silent.
"Summoning demons, gathering immortals, calling upon gods, and summoning monsters—the requirement is that only Supernatural Practitioner have Ascension to Immortality can join. Such a power is unimaginable." Wang Xuan's expression was solemn.
Even though the Transcendent Immortals have become mortals and the gods have been in a state of decline for many years, once they enter the Supernatural Great Universe, they can all recover. In this way, they can recruit soldiers and horses and gather them into a torrent that sweeps across the universe!
It can be said that 100,000 true immortals, 100,000 demons, 100,000 gods... these Supernatural Civilization from one place to another, and the numerous powerful figures accumulated throughout an entire Mythological Era, are simply impossible to find elsewhere.
This opportunity only exists in a special Great Universe where the extraordinary has just been extinguished. This is a great opportunity to seize, and in a single day, tens of thousands of true heavenly soldiers and generals can be gathered.
Whatever it wants to do, it has a large and powerful following, and a surprisingly strong foundation.
Moreover, Wang Xuan was certain that as long as Gu Jin could open the "Heavenly Gate" and connect the Great Universe, some of those who had given up hope would inevitably follow along.
"A major battle is about to begin. There must be some big event happening in the Supernatural Central World," said Imperial Dao Spear after a moment of silence.
It pondered that the thing in the Black Wood Box was even wilder than itself, probably never having been refined by anyone. Today's expedition was either for revenge or for some great opportunity that had tempted people throughout history to fight for it.
"What if someone is summoning it?" Wang Xuan asked.
"That's unimaginable. I don't think there's such a creature. At least, when I dealt with it last time, I didn't sense any refined energy on it."
On the twentieth day, a new message appeared on the flag, informing the world that a voyage would begin in a month to conquer the Supernatural Central World, and that any immortals or demons willing to join the journey could do so.
By this time, all extraordinary beings across the starry sky, except for extremely remote areas, knew about it.
Throughout history, all the most famous mythical planets with strong historical foundations have been included, as have those planets where technology and supernatural abilities coexist, since news spreads quickly in the latter case.
"Gathering place, in the outer space of Old Earth, in the space of time." The words appeared on the flag, followed by clear coordinates.
It is that secret realm in outer space of Old Earth, with cosmic rifts, from which the gate to heaven will be opened.
The reason for giving a month is to allow everyone time to prepare, considering that many planets are too far apart.
"Who exactly are you? You should reveal your true form by now!" Zhou Yaosheng and Li Tianxian, representing the demons and Transcendent Immortals, asked from under the banner of the New Star's extraordinary abilities.
As for the chaebols, they have all been quiet lately, and no one has made a sound. The fact that such an extraordinary last gasp has occurred has left them all feeling very uncertain.
Representatives from places like the Immortal Land and the Land of Deities have also stepped forward, because some people are genuinely interested and the more they look at it, the less they think it's a farce. This is because the scammers don't have the capability to provide so many Supernatural Factor to build a large-scale operation across various regions.
On that day, the identity of the person in question was revealed on the banner!
A Black Wood Box manifested, emitting a rain of light, flowing with a hazy glow, carrying a chaotic aura, as if it had emerged from Space-time Vortex, and simultaneously floating on all the banners in various places.
This was quite terrifying, shocking Transcendent Immortals and gods. That supreme light of rules, that scene that spanned the long river of history, was truly astonishing.
"I am the past and present. The Supernatural Central World has shifted and changed over the years. The Co-lord Tribe and the strongest Supernatural Civilization have changed one after another, but I remain unchanged."
On the extraordinary banners from various places, local characters appeared one after another, with interwoven patterns that made them clearly visible and gave people a general idea of their origins.
"It has most likely made a further step forward. It can now absorb and expel chaotic energy without much stagnation. Although it's not extremely smooth, there's no need to worry about not having supernatural power available."
That day, the Imperial Dao Spear deliberately guarded the Old Earth, circling it twice, ignoring the traces of the past and present, and commented on its own, "It takes it very seriously."
Across the universe, countless people are discussing the possibility that the extinguished flame of the extraordinary will be reignited, and that demons and immortals who have lost their supernatural powers will once again emerge.
The story about the past and present circulated in a very small circle; it was a secret leaked from those who had experienced it, because these people also wanted to leave.
If only one or two people know, it's no secret. Soon, the Roots of what was once the fourth most prohibited item were revealed.
"This... extraordinary treasure is not invincible in a universe, but rises and falls with the Sea of Great Dao and moves with the central world. It has always been the most brilliant figure on the extraordinary stage. Especially now, it seems to have successfully transformed, and its true strength cannot be assessed."
When this truth was revealed, the entire cosmos was in an uproar.
Now, many people are discussing whether or not to leave. Transcendent Immortals question is no longer whether to doubt the other party's strength.
The expedition to obtain the ultimate treasure is not as simple as it seems; the battles involved are absolutely unimaginable.
"Don't worry, when it comes to conflicts between prohibited items, the current Gujin can stop any opponent!" A robot stepped forward.
It was excited and eager, vowing to be loyal to the past and present, and embarking on its journey home, displaying an extremely fervent devotion.
"There will be death on expeditions. Perhaps half of the people will die in battle, or even less than one in ten will survive. But as long as I am here, I will do my best to protect every follower. The dead will not be forgotten forever. I will use the 'Gu Jin's Rule' to bring them back to life. Their heroic spirits will never be extinguished."
The words that appear on the extraordinary flag, born from the rules, convey this promise.
Some remained silent, their simple words revealing the immense horror of the battle and the extremely high casualty rate.
Some people looked on with fervent eyes, thinking it was better than dying of old age in this universe and turning into dust, right? Besides, the soul is immortal and can be recreated, so it's not considered a complete death.
For the next month, everyone was talking about the expedition. Everyone knew that once they set off, it meant certain death.
However, many people genuinely cannot let go of mythology and yearn for immortality in the world. They long for the old days of traversing Heaven and Earth. How can one learn to cherish something without experiencing loss?
Even though this "acquisition" will come at a great cost, some people have decided to embark on the journey, regain their extraordinary powers, and once again travel through the stars.
Demons, gods, and immortals—a group of people set off on their journey, their destination the coordinates provided by the flag.
"To be honest, if I weren't so weak, several realms below the level of Transcendent Immortals, I would have been prepared to risk my life this time."
Although Mr. Liu Huaian looks like a young man, he is worried that time will gradually erode his body and wants to fight desperately.
Chen Yongjie had also secretly asked himself, if there were no spiritual requirements, would he have left? The answer was no. He had a wife he loved deeply, and four children; how could he leave them behind?
Time flies, a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Old Earth, outer space, that space has long been opened up, and there are many spaceships densely packed outside. Even though they come in batches, with many people sharing a spaceship, it is still incredibly crowded here.
People were shocked. Looking at this place from afar, it became a torrent of steel, with so many different kinds of flying machines. There were so many immortals and demons.
Wang Xuan also arrived, coming to broaden his horizons and see how the other side would break through this path, and just how strong the true strength of the ancient and modern world really is.
"With 100,000 banners slaying Yama, so many true immortals and gods and demons, once they enter the Supernatural Great Universe, they will be truly remarkable. Should we take them with us on our journey without considering intercepting them?" Imperial Dao Spear said secretly.
Its wicked ambitions remain undiminished; it still desires to weigh the past and present, and needs Wang Xuan to provide it with a massive amount of Super Material support.
Wang Xuan shook his head, not wanting to cause trouble, and said, "Forget it, I have never thought of leading people to fight. Besides, if such a day really comes, I, an outsider, lead a large army into the Supernatural Central World, I will probably be besieged by all sides. As for Gujin... it is a local snake, and it is even more ferocious than a dragon."
In the secret realm, the plants and trees were sickly, and their leaves had almost all fallen. One needed to cross a Mental World from here to reach the cosmic rift.
This space was already densely packed with figures, including some historically renowned old immortals and some extremely famous gods, almost identical to the Divine Statue enshrined in temples on some planets.
Even from a great distance, the Imperial Dao Spear could sense the condition of the Planar Crevice. Because the flag was there, it naturally paid close attention to it, kept a close watch on it, and could even be said to be on high alert.
Figures from ancient and modern times emerged, light rain poured down, the Black Wood Box rose and fell, reflecting across the vast Spirit World, manifesting in everyone's eyes.
"Are you ready?" A wave of consciousness emanated from the Black Wood Box, telling all the immortals and demons that those who wished to travel with it could come forward, and it would guide them.
At the same time, the Black Wood Box burst into a blinding light, and the past, present, and future seemed to be shaking violently. Its presence could be found in the disjointed spacetime.
At the Planar Crevice, the aura was extremely terrifying. The true scene of that world was revealed, allowing everyone to see clearly that a huge rift slowly appeared, and dense Supernatural Factor poured out from across the dimensional rift!
What immense power this is! It is opening the passage.
"I am willing to follow you, sir, and fight in the Supernatural Central World!" A White-haired Man stepped forward and was the first to walk forward, quite decisively.
"He looks familiar. Could he be one of the ancient demon emperors? Still alive?" Some people questioned his identity.
Through time and space, he was directly guided across the vast Spirit World and arrived at the vicinity of the Planar Crevice in an instant.
The White-haired Man was illuminated by the light of the rules and bathed in rich Supernatural Factor. Instantly, his aura changed, continuously rising and improving.
Finally, with a roar, he transformed into a gigantic White Heavenly Wolf, a terrifyingly powerful demon, revealing his true form.
On the spot, it roared to the sky, extremely excited, as its great supernatural powers were restored!
"My lord, since we are embarking on an expedition and facing powerful enemies from the Supernatural Central World, why not take one or two treasures from this universe for your use?" the great demon suggested, its eyes flashing with divine light like thunder, its strength astonishing.
