Chapter Thirty-Two-Tongtian: The Next Time We Meet, You'll Be My Divine Treasure! [Please Collect and Send Flowers]
I'll find that Tomb Guardian Elder and confront him about it later. This problem has to be solved!
Youth Till Death would not allow such confusion to exist!
Before long, Tongtian made a new discovery. One of the powers had no memories at all—it was pure Soul Power.
In other words, it was the Past Life Soul, without any memories whatsoever.
The Current Life Body's Spiritual Sense was still intact. Tongtian managed to capture a few fragmented memory scenes from it.
"Yu Xin... Dantai Xuan... father, Chen Zhan? This guy's name is Chen Nan?"
[From now on, the surname will be changed to Chen instead of Chen, for reasons everyone who knows, knows!]
"Yu Xin, that woman, died? This guy went and fought someone to the death because he wanted to die?"
"He died for a woman? Hmph. There are countless female cultivators in the world. Why be so stubborn? What a fool!"
Tongtian did not know why he had this thought, but he naturally came to believe that one should never give up an entire forest for the sake of a single tree.
There were not many memory fragments, and most of them concerned Yu Xin and Chen Zhan. He could not obtain much useful information.
Still, he could tell from this that Chen Nan was the reincarnation of that Xiao Bai.
But Chen Nan had died and then inexplicably been buried here. Had the person who arranged the Formation intended to revive Chen Nan, or Xiao Bai?
"Who cares? I'll get out first!"
Tongtian immediately cast aside his distracting thoughts and focused on condensing the Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits!
In the previous simulation, Tongtian had spent a year condensing the Sword Soul Primordial Spirit, then spent seven or eight hundred years contending with the Formation.
In this simulation, however, Tongtian directly condensed both Primordial Spirits within a year!
Not only that, but within ten years, he had recovered the cultivation realm he had possessed in the previous simulation—in other words, the True Immortal Initial Realm!
But he continued to conceal himself. During that time, he also helped the Past Life Soul and Current Life Body of this body, preventing the Formation from sensing them after they dissipated.
Another five years passed, and both of Tongtian's Primordial Spirits reached the True Immortal Initial Realm!
Tongtian had originally planned to lie low for a while longer. Ideally, he would wait until both Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits reached the True Immortal Peak before breaking out of the Formation.
But Chen Nan's Current Life Body Spiritual Sense and Past Life Soul finally could not hold on any longer. They vanished in an instant.
Without the concealment of those two powers, Tongtian's aura was immediately detected by the Formation!
Just as in the previous simulation, after discovering the intruder, the Formation's power frantically began devouring and destroying Tongtian's Primordial Spirits.
As the Formation moved to suppress and kill him, Tongtian instantly took control of Chen Nan's body.
Now that he had been discovered, Tongtian no longer hid himself.
"Sword Splitting Style!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Outer Sword of the Sword Soul in Tongtian's Niwan Palace transformed into billions of shattered swords and radiated outward from his physical body.
Boom—
The power of the sword path shattered everything. The Formation, which had already had too much energy drained from it, was riddled with holes in an instant.
Not only did the Formation collapse, but the Earthen Grave exploded as well, causing the entire Gods and Demons Cemetery to shake violently.
The Formation was far too weak now. The berserk power of the Sword Splitting Style pierced through it and spread into the outside world!
The Formation that had taken a thousand years to break in the previous simulation was destroyed by Tongtian in only fifteen years this time!
At the very moment the Formation broke and the Cemetery shook,
an old man in a Linen Garment flew out of the thatched cottage. He appeared above the exploding Earthen Grave—it was none other than the Tomb Guardian Elder.
The Tomb Guardian Elder stared at the smoke filling the sky, his expression grave and full of doubt.
That boy Chen Nan had been buried for less than nine thousand years. How had he emerged already? Had something gone wrong?
In the next moment, sharp light flashed in the Tomb Guardian Elder's eyes, and he stared straight into the sky.
Tongtian had already flown out from underground. His clothes were in tatters as he hovered in the air.
"Heavenly Realm Initial!"
The Tomb Guardian Elder stared at Tongtian. Feeling his astonishing aura, the doubt in his heart deepened.
Tongtian naturally noticed the Tomb Guardian Elder at once. Before the Tomb Guardian Elder could speak, he said solemnly, "I was Xiao Bai in my previous life, and I'm called Chen Nan in this life. Is that answer correct?"
The Tomb Guardian Elder froze upon hearing this.
The answer was completely correct, but... I don't think I asked you anything.
No! Something's wrong!
He was so eager to prove his identity to me. There was definitely something wrong with this boy—something seriously wrong!
The next moment, the Tomb Guardian Elder attacked. He waved his hand and grabbed at Tongtian, intending to capture him first and ask questions later.
Seeing this, Tongtian flew into a rage. "That's wrong too? Then you tell me—how am I supposed to answer?"
He was not in the Earth Immortal Realm like he had been in the previous simulation, when he had been utterly powerless before the Tomb Guardian Elder. This time, he was in the True Immortal Initial Realm!
There was indeed a gap in strength, but he could not possibly be suppressed and killed so easily again!
Boom!
Sword light flashed across Tongtian's entire body. Sword shadows filled the void and slashed straight at the Tomb Guardian Elder's enormous hand.
Bang, bang, bang—
The sword shadows collided with the Tomb Guardian Elder's hand, erupting with earth-shaking booms.
If the Gods and Demons Cemetery had not been protected by special energy, this place might have been shaken into ruins.
When the sword shadows dissipated, the Tomb Guardian Elder withdrew his hand. A bloody gash had appeared along the edge of his thumb.
So strong? He could injure me at the Heavenly Realm Initial?
His True Body was the Life and Death Plate, something even the Great Annihilation could not destroy. Yet he had actually been cut open!
This absolutely could not be Chen Nan!
Nor could it possibly be Dugu Xiao Bai!
Not to mention that Dugu Xiao Bai's Soul Power had no conscious memories—even if he had memories, he did not cultivate the sword path!
The Tomb Guardian Elder's heart stirred. He stared at Tongtian solemnly and asked in a deep voice, "Are you Yellow Heaven or Azure Heaven?"
The Gods and Demons Cemetery had a powerful background. It had been created by some of the strongest people in this world.
With Dugu Baitian's involvement in Chen Nan's resurrection, this matter was impossible for outsiders to know.
If anyone in this world had the ability to interfere with it, it could only be the sealed Yellow Heaven or the strongest Heaven in this world, Azure Heaven!
Tongtian thought that, since anything he said would be wrong anyway, he might as well reveal everything directly!
"What the hell do Azure Heaven and Yellow Heaven have to do with me?"
"Remember this well. I am—Tongtian!"
Chapter Thirty-Two—Tongtian: The Next Time We Meet, You'll Be My Divine Treasure! [Please Collect and Send Flowers]
In the God's Tomb World, four Heavens had evolved beneath the Heavenly Dao.
The strongest, without a doubt, was the Heavenly Dao itself—the will of the entire world.
Below it were Azure Heaven, Yellow Heaven, Azure Heaven, and Nether Heaven.
The Heavenly Dao was the world will of the God's Tomb World. It was formless and intangible, yet it ruled over everything between Heaven and Earth.
The substantive Heavens such as Azure Heaven were manifestations of Sentient Resentment—twisted forms of consciousness.
However, countless years ago, Chen Nan's ancestor had killed Nether Heaven and even refined it into a humanoid weapon.
Although that humanoid weapon had constantly stirred up trouble in the Chen Clan, while several Heavenly Realm ancestors had died or betrayed them,
Nether Heaven had indeed been killed by Chen Zu. It was the first Heaven to be killed, though the killing had not been quite thorough enough.
Next came Azure Heaven. This Heaven was the weakest and had long since been slain by various experts. Among those who acted were the father of Chen Nan's previous-life body, Dugu Xiao Bai; the Demon Lord, who had dyed Azure Heaven with his demon blood; and Chu Xiangyu and the other seven Archaic Monarchs. Together, they exterminated it.
The group's joint destruction of Azure Heaven brought forth Yellow Heaven!
Azure Heaven had died, and Yellow Heaven rose in its place. But this Heaven did not remain active for long before the Demon Lord, who was in his transformation phase, sealed it once again.
As for Azure Heaven, it was the strongest Heaven beneath the Heavenly Dao!
The only active Heavens now were Azure Heaven and the sealed Yellow Heaven.
There was naturally no need to elaborate on Azure Heaven. It was the strongest to begin with. As long as the Heavenly Dao did not perish, Azure Heaven would never truly die.
Although Yellow Heaven had been sealed, it could still split off a portion of its power to wreak havoc in the world.
The Tomb Guardian Elder's True Body was the Life and Death Plate. Having experienced multiple Great Annihilations and participated in the ancient battle against the Heavens, he naturally knew all this.
Thus, once he confirmed that Chen Nan was no longer Chen Nan, he concluded that Tongtian was connected to Azure Heaven or Yellow Heaven.
Only those two Heavens had the ability to disrupt Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord's plan!
But now that Tongtian had voluntarily revealed his name, the Tomb Guardian Elder was at a loss.
Especially since Tongtian had even cursed Azure Heaven and Yellow Heaven, acting as if he had absolutely nothing to do with them.
