New Chapter: Bloodstained Heaven-Opening Edict
Wang Xuan felt as if he were there, his hair standing on end. What kind of paper was this? It was so badly damaged, yet it could still easily cleave through those huge stars as it traveled through space.
Then, what force shattered it?
"It is said that it was an imperial edict," Su Tong said, his expression more solemn than ever before.
"They also reenacted these scenes at the Purple Heaven Palace," Ling Xuan nodded.
"It appears to be an imperial edict requesting reinforcements or asking for help. It could be summoning former subordinates or seeking assistance from an entity of equal rank, but it was intercepted along the way."
Su Tong said that this was what the Outworld Visitor said, and an old man in the lead demonstrated these old scenes.
Then, Su Tong used his Spirit Imprint to send forth some strange sights, still blurry, which were mottled star seas, carrying the dim light of time.
After the imperial edict shattered, a small piece fell into this star field, then dimmed, no longer tearing apart planets, and slid down to the vicinity of Haichuan Star.
Then, the pure air rose and the turbid air descended, as if the world was being created. The decree, attached to the Haichuan Star, evolved into a large cave heaven.
"The Supernatural World we live in was born from a small piece that broke off from a tattered decree?" Wang Xuan was shocked.
This time, he wasn't just putting on an act; he was genuinely astonished by the sheer power of it.
This vast cavern is essentially a low-budget version of a large barrier, its territory so expansive that it surpasses the combined area of many Haichuan Star.
If it were to be upgraded again, it would be the celestial realm!
Ling Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, a small piece of the decree requesting aid burst open and fell here, creating a vibrant and boundless extraordinary pure land."
"They're investigating something like this? What are the identities of those Outworld Visitor?" Wang Xuan asked, quite surprised, as this matter had a significant impact.
"I don't know, but I suspect they might be people sent down by the 'Sovereign' in deep space," Su Tong said.
He believed that such a grand historical scene and terrifying power of the law were places that ordinary people would absolutely not dare to venture into.
"Who is the supreme ruler...?" Wang Xuan asked, his heart uneasy, eager to know.
Su Tong shook his head. "I don't know. It should be deep within our star field, but I have never left Haichuan Star. My sect only has True Immortals who are stuck in the mortal world and have contact with the outside world."
"I don't know either. The True Immortals of my Purple Heaven Palace rarely mention the outer realms. They only know that if the Lord gives an order, we must obey."
Su Tong said, "I told you about this and explained the background so that you would understand that this large cave is no longer peaceful and may be very dangerous. As a friend, I advise you to leave as soon as possible and go to Haichuan Star."
"Is it that serious?" Wang Xuan asked, moved.
Su Tong nodded. "Yes, the true immortals who have been left in the mortal realm have all emerged, seemingly forced, and are quite resistant. If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be very serious, and there will definitely be bloodshed and great upheaval!"
Ling Xuan said, "I was also surprised. The Supreme Elders at the True Immortal level all had gloomy expressions and were unwilling to accept it."
Spirit Lake in Kaiming City is a beautiful place. Flood Dragon Maiden emerges from the water with a dragon's body and a human head, swirling in the clouds and mist. Clam Fairy also floats to the surface and dances, showing off her singing voice.
The place was elegant but not vulgar, but none of the three of them were in the mood to appreciate it.
Soon, Su Tong received a secret message. It was a paper crane that transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly to his eyes before burning. Divine Sense message and also depicted some scenes.
"The true immortals of the sect have instructed us, their true disciples, to leave the grotto-heaven first, and not to return if anything changes." Su Tong's face turned pale. Was a major upheaval about to occur within the sect?
Soon, he went out and headed to the Changsheng Sect's Eternal Life Cult in Kaiming City to learn more about the situation.
During this time, Ling Xuan also left after receiving a message.
They didn't return until half an hour later.
"This is outrageous!" Su Tong said angrily, his face grim.
This time, it was Ling Xuan's turn to use his Spirit Imprint to create a wondrous scene. When the shattered Edict Fragment evolved into a grotto-heaven, a wisp of blood vapor rose up.
It's normal that the already damaged imperial edict was stained with blood.
However, that wisp of blood energy transformed into a magnificent secret realm beyond the heavens, and the patterns and rules contained within the blood energy actually evolved into a celestial book.
"The Forbidden First Chapter, is that how it came about?!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
He immediately understood how terrifying and unfathomable the master of the decree was.
"How many years ago did this blood-stained, shattered decree traverse the sea of stars?" Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"It didn't happen in this era; the exact date is long ago unverifiable."
"Back then, this universe was just a mythical place that appeared and disappeared, far from becoming Supernatural Center."
Wang Xuan was lost in thought as Su Tong and Ling Xuan spoke.
Su Tong said angrily, "This time, they have really gone too far. No wonder the True Immortals of the present world do not agree. It is one thing for the Outworld Visitor to ask for the 'Forbidden First Chapter,' but they also want the Four Great Sects to assist in trying to return to the source and refine the Edict Fragment again."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan also felt that these people were too ruthless, wanting to reduce this large cave world to its original state? But what about the cultivators and ordinary people inside? This was their Supernatural World home, on which they depended for survival.
Ling Xuan also felt heavy-hearted and said, "Moreover, the True Immortals of my Purple Heaven Palace have confirmed that this group of people were not sent by the Common Ruler Clan."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan was displeased. He had not yet obtained the complete Forbidden First Chapter, and someone had already tried to intercept it and take the scroll away.
At the same time, he was extremely wary of any force that dared to investigate the bloodstained edict; such forces were absolutely terrifying.
The leaders of such people and forces either did not die back then and have lived to this day, or their successors inherited and obtained the lineage of one of them.
This was no good. He decided he couldn't be so leisurely anymore and had to hurry up and get the Forbidden First Chapter.
On that day, some undercurrents stirred in this world inhabited by extraordinary beings. Some people received the news and began to prepare to leave the cave.
The Four Great Sects certainly have powerful True Immortals, but compared to the Outworld Visitor who dared to investigate this matter, they are definitely not in the same league.
Although the leader of the Outworld Visitor was also a true immortal, everyone knew that behind them must be a terrifying behemoth.
Su Tong and Ling Xuan did not leave immediately, unwilling to abandon their sect in this way.
That very night, Wang Xuan put his plan into action. Wearing the First Killing Array Diagram, he used its ability to conceal the secrets of heaven and his own aura. He approached the Four Great Sects and then went to spy on the group of Outworld Visitor.
"Fellow Daoists, we can give you the Forbidden First Chapter, but we find it difficult to agree to refine this world and restore it to the state of Edict Fragment. What will become of the billions of living beings living here?" This was the speech of a True Immortal from the Eternal Life Cult.
He stood outside the Eternal Life Cult, and this time he did not allow the Outworld Visitor to enter the mountain gate.
Behind him, the longevity of life was rising, and one majestic mountain after another was shrouded in celestial mist, with celestial mansions and other such structures located on the mountaintops.
An elder from beyond the realm spoke up, "We can take a step back and only trace the words on the decree, extracting only some of its primordial power. This place will not collapse; at most, it will just be the result of an earth dragon turning over, causing an earthquake."
