The Jiang Clan Cares Only for Itself, Ling Xuzi's Body
Logically speaking, things like these...
Their traditional texts and historical records should contain some record of this.
Perhaps the ancestors slumbering in the forbidden land also know something!
After we get back!
Perhaps we could try searching for it, or perhaps we could ask our own family's ancestral ancestors...
What a sudden turn of events today!
This was undoubtedly far beyond the expectations of these leaders of the Daoist tradition.
They even caught them completely off guard!
It almost overturned their worldview and outlook on life.
For the Daoist forces behind these giants, and even for the entire Myriad Worlds!
The world is likely about to change.
Once beings from that world descend, they will absolutely disrupt the existing order of heaven and earth.
Very likely!
The legendary immortals and gods will return from the endless tales!
This is both a crisis and a danger, but it also represents Opportunity and Creation.
Worried, gloomy, indifferent, excited, complex...
A whole range of emotions!
This was clearly revealed in the expressions of the various powerful figures!
"After this matter is settled, perhaps we should gather again in the future!"
"Perhaps we need to plan this carefully!"
"Absolutely right!"
"This matter is not over yet; there's still a long way to go!"
"Gentlemen, in a while!"
"I, the Emperor, will issue an invitation to everyone to gather in my dynasty."
"At that time, we will discuss important matters together!"
"The unknown creatures on that side are most likely harboring ill intentions and coveting something!"
"If we rashly start a war, we may not be able to withstand it!"
Even if it could be resisted, it would still be an unimaginable catastrophe for the entire world...
The Lord of the Dynasty spoke, his voice solemn!
His words exuded an immense sense of authority befitting the ruler of a dynasty.
"Perhaps, Yuan Li Emperor Lord is overthinking it!"
A prominent figure from the Daoist tradition responded, and he smiled faintly.
"The so-called Upper Realm is nothing but a self-proclaimed title!"
"If we really want to discuss it!"
"The lineage and resources behind us are not necessarily inferior to those of the other side!"
"You should know--"
"We all represent the supreme lineage of ancient emperors and Great Emperor!"
"They are suppressed by imperial weapons and royal armor!"
"It symbolizes a supreme path, capable of standing at the pinnacle of Myriad Worlds."
"It is said that its power overwhelms all heavens and terrifies the mortal world!"
"With the foundation of our Daoist tradition!"
"If war were to truly break out, that side would probably have to think twice before acting!"
Even the worst-case scenario!
Even if we are outmatched, we can still protect ourselves and remain independent beyond the myriad realms...
This shows that!
That giant possessed an enigmatic confidence in the profound heritage of his own lineage.
Certainly!
He was also thinking about his own power!
As for the so-called myriad spirits and other forces in the world, what do they have to do with him?
As long as we preserve our own power and remain safe, that's all that matters!
"Only caring about oneself and disregarding all living beings—is this the current philosophy of your Shanhe Jiang Clan?"
One of the alien leaders, his expression slightly cold, let out a sneer.
"I remember—"
"Your clan's Great Emperor wasn't like this back then!"
"You..."
"Alright, alright, let's talk about it later!"
A peacemaker quickly spoke up, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"This Sacred Master has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now..."
"Hahaha!"
"I'm off!"
However, the leader of a lineage glanced at it but didn't say anything more.
Instead, they chose to take their leave!
He led his men, who had suffered heavy losses, and the few remaining disciples, away quickly.
"Let's go!"
Nangong Yi's expression shifted slightly!
He looked at his group of disciples from the Ancient Sect, most of whom were safe and sound, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike other traditions!
Even core disciples, and even the most outstanding prodigies, perished in the secret realm.
This is no less than a major generational gap!
If the transition isn't smooth, there will likely be a gap between the current phases.
The years to come!
It's likely that it will decline for some time.
"Good!"
Jiang Yi, along with Nangong Yao and the others who had been released, all nodded.
People like Yue Qing'er, Niu Ding Tian, and Chen Bufan have all returned to their respective lineages and clans.
Those powerful figures and hegemons, upon learning of the situation...
Divine Sense was transmitted from afar!
They all extended their goodwill and expressed their gratitude to Jiang Yi and Nangong Yi.
They didn't linger and left in a hurry.
After bidding them farewell, Jiang Yi naturally returned to the Ancient Sect with Nangong Yi.
The journey was smooth and uneventful.
However, he knew very well!
In the days to come, some unexpected changes are likely to occur.
The world will not remain peaceful forever.
He still held some belief in the words of the already fallen Ling Xuzi.
As he said!
The other side of that Space Rift might very well be the upper realm.
Even if it isn't!
It should be much stronger than this great realm.
He did sense something at the time.
From the pervasive aura, he sensed something unusual, different from the surrounding world.
For example, the essence of heaven and earth combined is undoubtedly much purer!
Furthermore, there are the Heaven and Earth Laws, which seem to be even more complete and grand.
Perhaps, there truly exists something beyond even the Great Emperor Ancient Emperor!
I don't know if it's an "immortal" or a "god".
In his opinion!
The very place we live in now bears witness to many of the ancient times that have passed.
They just disappeared for some unknown reason.
The existence of those Forbidden Zone is undoubtedly a powerful proof of this!
If that's still not enough!
The Gods and Devils scripture he obtained is also a powerful piece of evidence.
Unfortunately, the immortals and gods are no more!
The Great Emperor Ancient Emperor became the strongest beings in the world, standing at the Peak of the Mortal World, their power overwhelming Myriad Worlds.
It has also become a symbol of the ultimate path!
Jiang Yi had a vague premonition!
With the emergence of that "upper realm," the Great Emperor Ancient Emperor may no longer be the end of cultivation.
Perhaps, we can go even further.
They saw the hope of becoming those "immortals" and "gods" who were said to live forever and be immortal.
What he needs to do now is to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
At present, his cultivation has reached the Half-step Integration with Dao Realm!
If we continue...
Then one must prepare to step into the true path of harmony, and stand on equal footing with those so-called hegemons and giants.
The enormous gains from this trip to the secret realm undoubtedly gave him a great deal of confidence.
With a lifespan of millions of years!
He is confident that he can break through to a higher level.
Maybe!
It also offers a glimpse into the sage-like demeanor of those who have attained enlightenment.
Once he gets back, he will most likely begin his seclusion.
As for the turmoil in the Outer World!
We can only wait until he comes out and see if we can get involved.
On the other side!
What Jiang Yi didn't know was that Ling Xuzi's corpse had been split in two!
Instead of turning to ashes under that giant hand, it passed through the Space Rift.
We've arrived in another vast world!
A mysterious being intervened, gathering fragments of spiritual light in an attempt to revive it.
