Waiting for the bestowal of the inscription and the engraving of the rules!
To carve one's own laws into the Hundun, and to have one's name passed down through history.
To spread his deeds beyond the heavens, to disseminate his story throughout the myriad worlds...
Xu Long watched as one powerful figure after another stopped at the scene, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Then, with resolute expressions, they swore an oath to heaven and earth, sealing their inscriptions within the Hundun, thus becoming true immortal war gods who had been granted immortal status.
The characters in this Hundun are none other than the past of those great figures, the glory of an entire era.
It marks the end of a primitive era and the beginning of a magnificent one!
Only now did Xu Long understand why this was an era belonging to cultivators—because they left their mark on this era.
The phrase "May our mountains and rivers endure forever, and may the sun and moon shine together" is the best promise.
Although times have changed and the world has changed, immortals and war gods have fallen, and stars and the sun and moon have taken turns.
The inscriptions of the past are buried within the Yin-Yang Map. The past glory has become Eternity history.
But this spirit will live on forever. Perhaps it is because of this spirit that it has been passed down from generation to generation that the flame of cultivation has not been completely extinguished.
What those ancient seal script characters recorded is no longer important, because the spirit they wanted to convey has already been spread.
The once mighty giants roared beyond the heavens, and the once true immortals and war gods emerged from beyond the celestial realm.
They carved out Eternity kingdom in a Boundless Wilderness, where their life's laws and inscriptions will remain, to be passed down through generations!
Xu Long stopped investigating further; he had already gained some insight as he reflected on his own life.
Since powerful beings had already inscribed laws in the primordial era, my arrival in the Hundun today is clearly an opportunity.
The laws contained within these ancient seal script characters are countless, and the number of people who have attained immortality is also unknown.
They can inscribe laws upon this; can I engrave my own laws upon it?
Upon hearing this, Xu Long's heart skipped a beat. He asked himself: He had been going against the heavens on his path of cultivation.
It has never bowed to heaven and earth, never compromised with the Origin Will, never yielded to Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, and never succumbed to the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Unmoved by heaven and earth, unperturbed by rules, unafraid of divine punishment, and unsinkable by suffering.
Xu Long's Dao Heart has been honed to an unbreakable level, and his Indestructible Will is strong enough that he has reached the same level as these powerful figures on the path of cultivation.
Standing before the Immortal Register, Xu Long recalled the scenes from before, where powerful figures had spoken of their Power of Laws.
When the laws one has mastered throughout one's life are applied to the heavens, earth, mountains, and rivers, they will be engraved within the Hundun.
He silently asked himself: What are the laws that govern my path of cultivation?
The laws are born from a cultivator's understanding of themselves and the world, starting from the Mahayana Stage and progressing to the Earth Immortal Realm realm as a state of mastery.
Despite the numerous ancient seal script characters within this Hundun, which might suggest that many cultivators possess their own laws, this place is still a place of chaos.
However, in reality, the vast majority of cultivators only grasped a rudimentary Power of Laws and did not condense their own unique laws of heaven and earth.
This means that even during their Mahayana Stage, they can only absorb the power of heaven and earth, and even during their Earth Immortal Realm stage, they can only absorb the rules of the world.
It has not yet affected the Reincarnation Temple of Heavenly Dao, and has never been able to influence the Origin Will.
The laws of nature give rise to extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth; Xu Long's extraordinary phenomenon was the " Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon."
My own application of the Power of Laws is quite rudimentary; I have only condensed the energy within Celestial Phenomenon.
When facing an enemy again, the Power of Laws was enhanced, but it still did not achieve a truly self-contained power.
Xu Long couldn't help but think of the Heaven Patroler he had seen in the memories of the Blackwater City Lord. The Heaven Patroler must possess their own unique laws of heaven and earth.
When he makes a move, even a casual gesture can cause changes in the heavens and earth, reversing the rules of the world to nothingness.
It seemed that this confined place was of no use to him; his energy was not restricted by this place at all.
His power was even more overwhelming in the Land of Exile; when his vast heavenly might pressed down, perhaps even the Origin Will was not as majestic.
Inside the City Lord's Manor in Phoenix City, Xu Long had also seen a golden light from the Ancestral Spirit, which ancient books recorded as the gaze of the Ancestral Spirit.
The golden light shot straight through the sky, completely ignoring your confinement in the Land of Exile. Like a sharp sword that shot out, it instantly broke through numerous obstacles and reached the heavens.
Xu Long secretly speculated that the Ancestral Spirit must also be powerful cultivators who had inscribed their own laws. These were the most imposing and powerful beings he had ever encountered.
Xu Long exploited the Celestial Phenomenon to his advantage, and also tried his best to imitate the swordsmanship of the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram Heaven Patroler.
The Heaven Patroler's demeanor and the Ancestral Spirit's majestic aura left a very deep impression on him.
Whenever he thought of it, he would exclaim to himself: This is a cultivator who does not bow to heaven and earth, this is a great power who is unmoved by all things!
This is because they possess their own laws and are considered unique entities in the world.
Its proud demeanor was naturally displayed, and its indomitable voice was naturally shouted.
Xu Long had already met two individuals who had engraved their own laws regarding their past cultivation practices.
He kept recalling it in his mind:
Emerging from Fragment World, and surviving one calamity after another.
To move forward in the darkness, to rise and fall in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Seeking a glimmer of hope amidst multiple crises, striving for a chance to survive in the face of seemingly Extremis.
I have traversed countless worlds, I have gazed upon the sun and moon, I have witnessed the stars, and I have journeyed through Space-Time.
At this crossroads of eras, Xu Long's memories flashed before his eyes like frames from a black and white film.
He witnessed countless memories, from crises to Extremis, from life-and-death separations to death.
Xu Long pondered to himself that his experience was exceptionally rich, but what principle from it could truly represent him?
Is it Space-Time? Is it life and death? Is it blood concealment? Is it derivation?
As these thoughts crossed his mind, he shook his head inwardly.
To break free from crisis, to fight back in Extremis, to rise and fall in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity, and to feel the stirrings within Dao Heart.
A roar under Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, a glare under the Origin Will.
These crises were commonplace for Xu Long, but he never sensed any rules governing them.
Perhaps he now understands that on his path of cultivation, he has been constantly breaking rules, challenging heaven and earth, and questioning the future...
All this was to cross that perilous Sea of Suffering and Calamity, and finally reach that mysterious other shore.
He went against the grain all the way, defying heaven and earth, but he never showed any fear, and Xu Long usually forcefully swept away the obstacles in front of him.
All obstacles will be forcefully swept away!
Xu Long frowned, muttering the same sentence over and over, his gaze growing brighter as he looked at the ancient seal script characters.
As if he had found self-understanding in this, he kept muttering words to himself.
Then, the searching gaze grew more and more resolute, and finally, in the midst of Hundun, it transformed into two invisible beams of light, shooting upwards from the Dipper Palace, reaching beyond the heavens, where they intertwined with the golden light within the sea of thunder.
At this moment, his figure was quite imposing, his gaze was sharp and powerful, and the searching look in his eyes had disappeared, leaving only a resolute look!
After scanning the ancient seal script, the black and white image in Xu Long's eyes slid rapidly and then vanished completely in an instant.
Xu Long now had the answer to what he had just been searching for!
"I, Xu Long! I possess the Law of Slaughter, and today I request to be granted the Immortal Register, wishing to jointly govern Heaven and Earth, and bring about peace. I hereby proclaim this to Heaven and Earth, and communicate it to the mountains and rivers!"
A high-pitched and proud voice resounded throughout the sea of thunder.
Xu Long's will lingered in the Hundun for a long time, behind him was a huge Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
The surging lightning in the sea of thunder seemed to pause for a moment, as if it had been stunned by the sound.
The rumbling sound seemed to be abruptly silenced, causing the world's rules to be reversed in that area.
The Law of Slaughter!
This is what Xu Long learned from thoroughly examining his own situation. No matter the crisis or Extremis, he never gave up on that glimmer of hope.
The arduous struggle for survival in the Tomb of the Great Emperor, the desperate counterattack inside the Chi You Blood Cave, the obstacles on the path of cultivation, and the ups and downs in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Xu Long cultivated the Great Dao over a long period of time, emerging from a small world and standing tall beyond the heavens. His belief has always been only struggle and resistance, and his past has always been only reversal and slaughter.
The path of cultivation is quite rugged, and the Sea of Suffering and Calamity is quite dangerous. When countless obstacles stand in his way, all he can do is forcefully sweep them away.
Therefore, all Xu Long could learn from his experiences was the Law of Slaughter.
This is a belief that refuses to yield to heaven and earth, a spirit that refuses to compromise with Extremis, a direction that refuses to sink into the Sea of Suffering and Calamity, and an existence that refuses to bow down to Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation.
The Law of Slaughter belongs to none other than Xu Long!
Xu Long, amidst the sea of thunder, gleamed with a sharp light in his eyes. His focused gaze was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through heaven and earth, bursting forth from his eyes and heading towards the heavens.
Two enormous lanterns suddenly lit up in the purple sea of lightning, their gleaming light flashing like the sun and moon announcing the dawn between heaven and earth.
At that moment, the golden light in the Center seemed to sense something, and immediately rushed towards Xu Long after he uttered his words.
The brilliant light and golden brilliance in the sky converged, and the lightning in the Center gave way. The many obstacles and restrictions could not block them.
Two beams of light swept across the Endless Lightning Tribulation Sea, past the light curtain at the Center, and past the magma waves within the earth's crust in an instant.
It swept across the dark underground world, broke free from the confinement of the Land of Exile, and soared above the skies governed by the Origin Will.
Just as countless great predecessors have said, it reaches beyond the heavens and into all realms.
When the light appeared, the thirty-four Thunder God gods in the sea of lightning were in an uproar, for they certainly knew what the light meant.
The Thunder God, who was formed from Hundun, was born with a grasp of the Law of Lightning, but their era had already passed countless years ago.
Those places where Immortal Register were bestowed have all turned into Guixu. Now, a cultivator has actually initiated a reversal. Is the world truly about to change?
The city lord was also quite shocked when the light appeared, and he looked at the depths of the sea of lightning with a very complicated expression.
As a descendant of the ancient ancestors, he naturally longed to restore the glorious era before his ancestors, but he handed over this honor to Xu Long.
That was the first honor in countless years, Immortal Register bestowed with the personal endorsement of the Ancestral Spirit!
At that moment, a shooting star streaked across the Milky Way.
It illuminates the dark world with its dazzling brilliance; it emerges from the Milky Way, carrying a vast celestial might, sweeping across countless realms until it reaches the Hundun.
When the tiny star disappeared into the darkness, its long trail remained in the hearts of countless cultivators.
Countless powerful beings beyond the heavens raised their heads simultaneously, and in their eyes was reflected that conspicuous trajectory.
Although it is unknown who the meteor represents, the trajectory it left behind indicates that after countless years of silence, another cultivator has comprehended a law unique to themselves.
Another cultivator has been granted the title of Immortal Register, and another has inscribed their own laws into the Hundun!
At this moment, all cultivators in the myriad realms were focused on the shooting star. Great beings nearing the end of their lifespan had tears in their eyes, and deities with decaying bodies had dazed eyes.
Even though he had already survived nine brushes with death and his Dao Heart was unwavering, he was still shocked when he saw this scene.
They pointed their trembling fingers toward the sky, and then two streams of murky, hot tears flowed from their dry eyes.
After the end of an era, heaven and earth were reduced to Guixu, and all things were wiped out. Under such calamity, where could one still receive Immortal Register? The paths that countless cultivators had painstakingly explored had come to an end.
But unexpectedly, I witnessed this scene again today, a scene that had disappeared for countless years.
That was the glorious scene of the cultivators' golden age, a sign before the end of an era, a conferment of titles before the catastrophe descended.
Today, it has reappeared!
Two beams of light lingered in the Hundun, and Xu Long's will also remained within the map.
At the Center, the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram continuously circulated its immense energy, while Xu Long's will below the diagram was immersed in the map.
The Ancestral Spirit is trapped by the Heaven Patroler's seal and will inevitably be unable to appear; it will most likely manifest as an illusion within the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
The thought had barely formed when a rather authoritative voice echoed from within the map.
" Xu Long, a cultivator from the heavens, possesses the Law of Slaughter. Today, he has been granted an Immortal Register and will inscribe inscriptions and laws upon the Hundun!"
"Today, I swear by Heaven and Earth, and bear witness to the mountains and rivers! Xu Long shall be granted the title of Immortal Register, and shall be a true Immortal!"
The voice rang out with remarkable composure, its pace slow and deliberate, as if carefully considering each word, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of imperial might as soon as it left its lips.
After the words were spoken, a light and melodious song emanated from the map. The song was filled with an ancient and simple quality, as if it were bestowing a talisman and baptizing Xu Long. In this Hundun, it seemed exceptionally sacred.
From that Hundun, streams of pure energy condensed and emerged, swirling and dancing in the darkness.
The authoritative words just now guided these pure energies, which then continuously coalesced in the Hundun, carrying a unique energy. Several streams of pure energies slowly condensed into several lines of ancient seal script.
When the ancient seal script characters on the map solidified, the same ancient seal script characters were also solidifying in the Hundun of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
