Meng Chuan vanished, but the stone wall changed. A hazy figure appeared upon it.
No one could see the figure clearly, but they knew in their hearts that it was Meng Chuan.
"I'm unharmed."
A voice came from within the stone wall. Meng Chuan could still send his voice into the present.
"Where are you now?" the Forbidden Zone Lord asked.
"A place beyond description," Meng Chuan's voice replied.
Light and shadow shifted across the stone wall, revealing scenes from the Emperor's Fall Era.
None of those present had lived from the Emperor's Fall Era until now, yet the moment they saw what appeared on the wall, they knew what era it was.
Somewhere in the unseen, Heavenly Secrets revealed themselves.
Meng Chuan stood in a bizarre space filled with distorted, uncanny sights that defied description.
He could not even call those sights things.
This place was abstract, conceptual, primordial—impossible to describe through common sense.
Up might be down, and down might be up. Life might be death, and death might be life. Water might be fire, and fire might be water...
Anything might be anything, or it might be nothing at all.
If he had to put it into words, this place bore some resemblance to the Near-Dao Land of the Lifetime World.
But it was far more complex than the Near-Dao Land.
Meng Chuan had been to the Life-and-Death Origin Point, one such Near-Dao Land, so he was well placed to make the comparison.
This place held a great secret, a secret vast enough to shake the heavens. Even among all the Heavens of the Boundary Sea, its mysteries would rank near the top.
In fact, as Meng Chuan saw it, within the Boundary Sea, this Heaven-Connecting Land was surpassed only by Emperor Bone Bro, the Dark Source.
