Chapter 470
"This..."
Gazing at the surging river of blood rushing towards him, feeling the immense and overwhelming pressure and majestic aura, even Xiao Minghuang, who was already a Celestial King, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
This aura was so terrifying that it even made her feel a slight tremor.
Subconsciously, she activated all her Immortal Dao Law, intending to avoid the River of Blood.
However, the blood river seemed to turn deadly; no matter where she ran, the blood river's waters would rush towards her.
Moreover, the blood river surged forth, its speed increasing rapidly, almost three times faster than when she was fully activating the Immortal Dao Law!
"No."
"There's no escaping it!"
Xiao Minghuang pondered to himself, then used every means at his disposal to resist the impact of the Blood River.
Swish!!!
The river of blood surged forward relentlessly, engulfing everything in its path!
Xiao Minghuang was swallowed by the blood wave, plunging into endless darkness and cold.
I don't know how much time has passed.
It was incredibly long, like countless eons, without end.
It was like a mere 1/129,600th of a moment.
In the boundless darkness and cold, Xiao Minghuang suddenly saw a glimmer of light.
The light gradually grew larger.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the surrounding area, making it feel as if one were inside a golden divine city.
Xiao Minghuang was stunned. She stared blankly into the distance, her mind somewhat blank.
All I saw was...
The source of the golden light was, in fact, an unfolding scroll painting!
The scroll is covered with densely packed runes, seemingly written in some ancient script, containing unfathomable mysteries that are difficult to fathom.
However.
Xiao Minghuang understood its meaning with just one glance.
"Name..."
She murmured to herself.
On the scroll were written ancient names, names she had never heard of before.
But she knew.
Each name on this page represents the existence of a Celestial King.
Even more powerful Supreme Immortal Venerables!
"The Tai Chi Innate Great Zhiming Immortal Venerable, the Immortal of the Third Mountain."
"Tai Chi Innate Great Fire Split Immortal King, Immortal of the Third Mountain."
"The Tai Chi Innate Great Immortal Venerable Wu Chang, the Immortal of the Seventh Sea..."
"The Tai Chi Innate Great Green Fish Immortal Venerable, the Immortal of the Third Sea..."
Xiao Minghuang recited softly, and with each name she uttered, an ancient memory would immediately surface in her mind.
Those are the memories of ancient beings.
565. The Key to a New Era
Some of these names were once famous throughout Primordial Era, but they have long since been lost to the annals of time.
They all enjoyed boundless glory in their lives, but all ended their lives in the same way, faded into obscurity.
Xiao Minghuang saw that the memories that surfaced in her mind were varied, but the beginnings and endings were almost the same.
They were all born from a chaotic void that was about to be divided.
Born of nature, born of immortality.
The word "immortal" likely originated from this.
Their fates, though different, were the same.
An immeasurably majestic being, as if a universe were crushing upon him, with the exception of a few celestial venerables, almost none could mount any effective resistance. Some even died without leaving a clear memory.
"In other words, the ancient immortals recorded here... or rather, the Primordial Immortals of Taiji, were all born from chaos, and then all died at the hands of the same person..."
Xiao Minghuang murmured to herself.
She quickly read through all the names on the scroll.
The number of names is exactly three thousand.
"The world speaks of Three Thousand Great Daos, and this book contains exactly three thousand names. What a coincidence..."
Xiao Minghuang sighed inwardly.
Just then, after she finished reading the name on the scroll, the scroll seemed to be drawn by something and flew towards her with a "whoosh".
Xiao Minghuang instinctively raised her hand to resist.
However.
The instant her hand touched the scroll.
The scroll suddenly burst forth in brilliant light, transforming into countless showers of light that vanished.
"This?!"
Xiao Minghuang whispered with suspicion.
Soon.
The light faded, and all was settling.
The scroll reappeared before her eyes.
The difference is that the scroll before us now reveals an old and weathered appearance, like an antique, completely different from its previous golden and dazzling appearance.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Minghuang discovered that the densely packed three thousand names originally written on the scroll had all vanished!
Instead, there was a blank page, without a single word!
What's going on?
Xiao Minghuang was stunned. She subconsciously reached out to touch it, trying to find traces of those names.
However, the moment her fingertips touched the scroll, the entire scroll suddenly began to shake violently.
Splash--
It trembled and cried out rapidly, as if it were a living creature, frantically trying to break free from its restraints and escape her control!
However.
She narrowed her eyes, and a burst of dazzling starlight emanated from her, enveloping the painting.
In an instant.
The painting fell silent, obediently hovering in mid-air, completely still.
Xiao Minghuang reached out and picked up the scroll, slowly unrolling it.
On the scroll, strange symbols appeared, combining to form three characters.
"The Immortal Sealing Scroll..."
Memories flooded her mind, and Xiao Minghuang's thoughts raced. Finally, she calmed her emotions and sighed softly.
"The Immortal Sealing Scroll... the key to ending this era and opening the next, has now fallen into my hands. What should I do with it?"
Xiao Minghuang knew that the Immortal Sealing Scroll was an extremely secretive but incredibly powerful treasure. If it were to spread, it would be like throwing a large rock into a calm lake, which would surely cause countless waves!
Therefore, she didn't even tell Ye Ruoshui and the other five women about her possession of the Immortal Sealing Scroll.
Moreover, although the Immortal Sealing Scroll had fallen into her hands, she didn't fully understand its purpose.
Within her inner world, a scroll unfurled, emanating strands of sacred Immortal Light that illuminated a small corner of the world.
On the scroll, only a few strokes of the pen were written.
That's a name...
The Immortal King Bo Feng.
Xiao Minghuang knew that, whether she liked it or not, she had to take the existence of the Immortal Sealing Scroll into account. In her hands, this thing was like a time bomb, which could explode at any time, making her an enemy of the world!
However, the only piece of information she currently knows is this:
Those are the Immortal Kings who truly died at her hands in this era; their names will then appear on the Immortal Sealing Scroll.
That's why.
Xiao Minghuang knew that the Great Jin Chang Immortal King had not truly perished, but had fled to an unknown location.
But the Immortal King Bo Feng truly perished.
This also suggests that the Immortal Sealing Scroll will very likely propel her towards a future filled with bloodshed and slaughter...
Is this fate?
Xiao Minghuang said self-deprecatingly.
In any case, she cannot be controlled by others.
But for now, we still need to improve our own strength as much as possible. As long as we are strong enough, then no problem is insurmountable.
Because she carries the secrets of the Immortal Sealing Scroll, she cannot confidently advance her relationship with the Celestial Venerable of Longevity Heavenly Venerable. Sooner or later, she will inevitably face the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Emperor
When they first met the Longevity Heavenly Venerable, the Immortal Sealing Scroll issued a warning, indicating that there was a possibility that it had been discovered.
Fortunately, it seems that for some special reason, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable did not dig all the way to the bottom, and she thus escaped a calamity.
However, if one were to directly confront the Heavenly Venerables of the Thirty-three Heavens, or even the Heavenly Emperor, one would inevitably be exposed!
Xiao Minghuang knew that the boundless and majestic being in the memories shown to her by the Immortal Sealing Scroll, the one who single-handedly suppressed three thousand Innate Immortal, was now the ruler of all heavens, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!
In other words, the Heavenly Emperor became the Heavenly Emperor and established the Heavenly Court through the Immortal Sealing Scroll.
Now the Immortal Sealing Scroll is in her hands.
The consequences if the Heavenly Emperor were to find out are self-evident.
"Right now, the most important thing is to improve my strength. As long as I reach the Heavenly Venerable realm, I won't be exposed when facing a Heavenly Venerable. If I can reach the Immortal Emperor level..."
Xiao Minghuang's expression hardened. If she could advance to the Immortal Emperor realm, then the outcome would be uncertain...
"Phew~"
"This time, our expansion into new territories is destined to be a major undertaking!"
Xiao Minghuang turned around, a slight smile playing on her lips and a hint of amusement in her eyes, and returned to the cabin, awaiting their arrival in the Outer Deep Space.
Outer Deep Space.
Filled with chaos and nothingness, stars fell and turned into shooting stars, flashing in this boundless outer void.
The endless darkness and nothingness devoured everything. Even if a celestial lord descended, he would not be able to hold out for long before collapsing completely and perishing in the boundless darkness and chaos.
In this endless, chaotic void beyond the realm, a colossal warship slowly sails through it.
A layer of Immortal Light enveloped the warship, with countless runes leaping within it, separating it from the chaotic void outside.
