"Look, Your Highness, this is the suspended staircase leading to 'Heavenly Capital'."
There is a spiritual lamp hanging in front of the man in gray, walking slowly beside Gongye Mingchan, parallel to a long spiral staircase.
The stairs continue downward from the seal to the bottomless "pitch black Earth Abyss". Just standing on the stairs, you can feel the vicious and terrifying atmosphere below.
Click--click--
As everyone moved forward cautiously, a ray of moonlight quietly followed.
I don't know how much time passed, but when everyone arrived at a golden portal, the people in gray who had been staying here came up to greet them.
These survivors use "gray clothes" as their symbol and call themselves "Revivalists", determined to revive Divine Continent and revive civilization.
"Your Highness, this is the Heavenly Capital portal. As long as we enter the core of Heavenly Capital, we can reverse time and reshape Ancestral Continent."
Gongye Mingchan was silent, and a female general next to him looked around and asked curiously, "Why are we Xuanhe Kingdom the only one at the moment? Where are the other people?"
"Demon Kingdom and Xun Kingdom's friends are still in the camp. Not long ago, they helped us find two hidden blessed places and rescued 800 survivors. They should still be dealing with the aftermath."
"That's right. Your Highness, we can go ahead." One of the leaders of the men in gray said, "By the way, we can take a rest first. After the next few people arrive, we will go to 'Celestial Heart Palace' together."
The moonlight trembled slightly, and the barking came closer and closer, as if coming from Heavenly Capital.
"That's good. Heavenly Capital is full of fairy energy, just right for us to have a rest."
The reason why these Ancestral Continent survivors have been able to survive for so long is that apart from their own adaptation to the demonic energy, the biggest factor is the blessing of "Heavenly Capital".
Relying on the several halls in Heavenly Capital and the spirit of the fairy spirits, the survivors still retain three tribulation immortal level masters and eighteen Grandmaster.
Gongye Mingchan and his party slowly walked into the mountain gate at the foot of Heavenly Capital Peak.
Looking at the three words "Southern Heaven Gate" on the plaque, the girls felt solemn.
According to legend, Heavenly Capital is the residence of immortals. Whenever a monk enters the Golden Core Realm and survives the thunder tribulation, he will be summoned by you True Lord to cultivate in Heavenly Capital, isolated from the world of mortals.
When walking through "Southern Heaven Gate", Gongye Mingchan felt a pure fairy energy blowing towards her face. Every pore on her body was frantically absorbing the fairy spirit, allowing her body of the Earth Immortal Realm, which was infected by the evil spirit, to be quickly purified.
The people in gray clothes on the left and right felt this, and immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness has cultivated True Person, but was blocked by the demonic energy, and it is difficult to achieve immortality. Now that you have the energy of Heavenly Capital Feather Immortal, you can wash away the dirt and achieve immortality."
"Immortal body?" She shook her head slightly, "It's just half-immortal."
The real immortal bodies are those Nine Heavens True Lord who have gone through Three Calamities Tribulation.
Perhaps in ancient civilization, her cultivation level could be called "immortal". But after communicating with Fu Xuanhe, I realized that a person like her who has both immortality and Cinnabar Essence is just the Fourth Turn among Golden Core Dao. After the ninth turn, there is True Lord. The only exception may be Fu Xuanhe's younger brother. Sacred Womb realized that land gods are the real immortals, and they are the same species as True Lord.
After Southern Heaven Gate, the man in gray did not lead them to walk outside the mountain. Instead, he went to the secret passage of a palace and went straight into Heavenly Capital.
The moonlight followed quietly until everyone came to a rest hall.
There are eight passages around the vast square, inscribed with the Primordial Eight Trigrams Diagram case.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. You can drink a cup of spiritual tea first. The three elders will arrive shortly."
The people in gray clothes began to make arrangements and presented tea, melons and fruits to the Xuanhe Kingdom Women's Army.
The female soldiers did not take it directly, but looked at Gongye Mingchan.
Gongye Mingchan stared at the cup of tea in front of him.
"It seems that your three elders are not at Heavenly Capital."
The man in gray looked startled, then smiled and said, "Did His Highness sense the changes in the Qi in this area? The three elders are deeper, and they have been surveying the changes in 'Celestial Heart Palace'. After a while, they will come to entertain them in person."
"Entertainment? I can't defeat the three Tribulation Immortals together."
Before the man in gray could react, she made a quick stroke with her left hand.
The immortal energy condensed and the sword swept forward ten feet.
Several men in gray who were surrounding him failed to react in time and were killed on the spot.
"Your Highness, what are you-"
Before the people in gray clothes around them could react, the Xuanhe Kingdom Women's Armys all raised their weapons to fight back.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
While attacking, they surrounded Gongye Mingchan.
"These people plan to ambush us, let's strike first--"
Gongye Mingchan's eyes were cold, and streaks of red thunder flashed around him, then densely shot towards the man in gray who was escaping.
"Hey--"
The moonlight flashed, and Dongfang Yunqi appeared.
Looking at the dead men in gray around him, his face looked a bit sad and distressed.
"Thank you, Miss Dongfang, for the message."
"Fellow immortal cultivators should help each other."
Dongfang Yunqi waved his hand, and the moonlight turned into a silver tide, rolling toward those who were fleeing.
Soon, a large ice sculpture appeared at the entrance of the square.
"Princess, we can't stay here for a long time, we'd better leave for now."
"Okay."
Looking at this square, Gongye Mingchan felt a little foreboding and did not want to stay here for a long time.
Dong Moyang squatted on the steps, looking at the numerous bones in the square.
The eight passages are getting smaller and smaller. Even if they stay here, Fu Yaozhen's red line balls are still being recovered.
It only takes a hundred steps to go out through one door and come back through another.
Dong Moyang Take out a small ball and throw it down gently.
The ball fell to the ground very slowly, as if time was slowing down.
"The bones in this square can remain for forty thousand years because of the power of 'stopping time'."
For 40,000 years, time has stopped in the square.
And when Yin Yanqing arrived at the square, time began to flow again.
But after the initial disturbance, they were also accepted by "Plaza Time and Space".
The turbulent splash of water fell silent again, returning to a calm and still time without waves.
The "square" itself is an "independent world" depicting the "magic power of time and space".
In other words, it is a cage for trapping animals.
Whenever a living being enters, this square is used to capture, kill, and eventually become a sacrifice.
After Ouyang Ziming identified the direction, he pointed to a spot on the dome and said, "Let's work together to attack the sky above and try to use our strongest strength to break through a passage - I hope Crimson Abyss Patriarch's strength can help us."
Dong Moyang: "You plan to enter the Remnant Husk land of senior Shan Lingzi?"
"That's the only way."
That's fine. Dong Moyang sighed lightly and stood up from the steps.
"We'll go all out. Even if we can't open the channel, the fluctuations caused by our combined efforts can make the still time turbulent again and continue to delay it for some time."
"No need, I know how to get out."
Fu Xuanhe, who had been standing in front of the female corpse and staring at Gongye Mingchan's corpse, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
"Ah? You know?"
Several people looked at him at the same time.
Fu Xuanhe was seen with a dull face, reaching out to touch the "light mask" in front of the female corpse.
Waves of ripples rippled, and the mask revealed a passage as tall as a person, which happened to be the height of Fu Xuanhe.
Walking into the light mask and feeling another "world power" that was completely different from the outside world, he showed a clear look.
"There is a Dao Domain inside the mask. She used all her magic power and lifespan to forcibly open up and strengthen the 'world'."
Although the time of this "world" has also stopped, frozen at the moment of her death.
However, Yuan Neng and Principle are very different from the "time freezing" of the square.
And this is the key to breaking the situation.
Detonate the time in this mask, causing the static time of the two worlds to collide. This will create a channel in the big explosion and find a glimmer of hope for everyone.
And the key to controlling the "Mask World"...
Fu Xuanhe's eyes fell on her temples.
Step forward and gently pick off the flower hairpin.
At this moment, only a few people outside noticed the flowers in the hair of the female corpse.
It was an ordinary roadside wild flower.
Thumb-sized white flowers with a yellow pistil in the center.
Fu Xuanhe held the flower hairpin and murmured to himself.
"Is it just for this moment that you kept this hand?"
Ding--
A glimmer of light flashed in the stamens, and a wisp of fairy energy was activated.
"Get ready, I'm going to activate it!"
After Fu Xuanhe shouted loudly, he used all his strength to lift Gongye Mingchan's seal.
Pure white light flows freely from the hairpin.
Before dying, Gongye Mingchan used the most perfect Sealing Art in his life to seal all his power in this hairpin, with the purpose of leaving a glimmer of hope.
Not to myself, but...
The white light broke through the mask and collided with the power of time and space in the square.
Click--click--
Visible to the naked eye, cracks appear out of thin air in the air and on the ground.
The time and space in the square was forcibly shattered, and the time and space storm became stronger and stronger.
It was at that moment, in the chaos of time, that Fu Xuanhe took a startling glance at a scene that happened 40,000 years ago.
"Your Highness, run!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Countless female soldiers fell down, and then the photo mask was set up.
Gongye Mingchan looked outside anxiously while healing his wounds.
But the sacrificial ceremony ended soon.
Before she could unlock the seal of the mask, she was imprisoned in the square by a group of men in gray.
"Void-Severing Yin Seal Art."
Looking at the gradually quiet time in the square, her expression became more and more serious.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"It is rumored that this is the highest state of Sealing Art. It seals time and space in one palm. If this is the case, then I will use my time to study it slowly. When I finish studying this spell... then none of you bastards can escape..."
Time swayed, and the scene in front of Fu Xuanhe quickly faded.
Instead, it is the moment before Gongye Mingchan died.
There is a trace of mystery emerging from the mask, which is almost consistent with the outside world's "Void-Severing Yin Seal Art".
But Gongye Mingchan did not show joy, but stared at his hands and murmured to himself.
"So that's it. Is this what our Lineage's ability is?
"Insight into... time and space... So is all of this just for this step?"
The essence of Dreamspirit Power is to access the past and future.
This is a link between Huntian Civilization and "Great Plan". The ancestor of the Gongye Clan was an immortal who participated in "space-time research" back then.
"My aunt lived a lonely life. Everyone said that she was devoted to 'Hidden Dragon True Person'. In fact, she was Hidden Dragon True Person's partner."
She has never met her great-aunt, but only heard Gongye Qinglan mention it. She walked through her life alone. She just held a longevity tablet and walked through her lonely life.
She devoted her whole life to collecting a person's information and relics.
Hidden Dragon True Person.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Xuanhe Kingdom, he helped the survivors to sweep away Demonic Beast and was one of the pioneers to open up Divine Continent. However, not long after the establishment of the Xuanhe Kingdom, he hurriedly sealed the escaping Demonic Beast around the Xuanhe Kingdom, and then crossed the sea and returned to the Ancestral Continent.
If it was similar to her own experience, she should also have made a lifelong commitment to that True Person in her dream, and then...
Gongye Mingchan raised his head, his bright eyes shining with golden light, spanning infinite time and space.
Fu Xuanhe was shocked.
He felt his eyes meeting each other.
At that moment, he saw Gongye Mingchan 40,000 years ago. At the same time, she also saw herself 40,000 years later.
In a daze, Fu Xuanhe heard the conversation from not long ago.
"I seem to understand... this woman didn't escape in the end... because she couldn't find a way out of this mountain. She had to stay here with these corpses?"
"But... she... began to look for a way out. How could she be buried in the bones... From this we can see... she has been hiding in the light shield until her death."
My heart keeps sinking.
Fu Xuanhe finally understood why Gongye Mingchan died.
She clearly understood the sealing method and was able to escape through the confrontation between two "Void-Severing Yin Seal Art".
But it was precisely because of her epiphany that as her Daoism improved, she understood the secrets of heaven and had a glimpse of the future, so she could not leave.
"A gap of 40,000 years?"
While we get a glimpse of the future, it is also the beginning of endless coldness.
The joy of reunion was washed away by the teasing of fate.
The gap of 40,000 years is enough to make anyone look up and sigh.
My great-aunt was only a few hundred years old!
But - I, Life Lord, am dead, and the sadness of my Life Lord, who is not alive, is the same.
"I'm afraid there's only one thing I can do."
He took off the flower hairpin and silently poured his accumulated mana into it.
Forty thousand years later, his body is still inside the mask of light.
And he also appeared in this square.
So...
"I hope you can meet your beloved again in the future."
After a long sigh, his black hair turned into frosty hair, and he closed his eyes.
Fu Xuanhe Hold the hairpin tightly, but the head of the hairpin, which is not sharp, has penetrated deeply into the flesh.
This flower hairpin carries the power of the world and also entrusts the vitality inherited from 40,000 years ago.
"Fellow Daoist Fu--"
Yin Yanqing roared, and seeing Fu Xuanhe silently watching the female body disappearing in the wind, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him out.
Seeing him looking at the fading and broken body, Yin Yanqing said with relief, "This female corpse stopped time and kept her body incorruptible. But as time flows again, she will naturally not be able to survive forever. Although we are benefactors, we can never protect her body at this moment. This flower hairpin as a token is enough to build a tomb for her."
The power of the world stirred, and a golden staircase slowly extended.
At the end of the stairs, everyone saw a looming palace.
Celestial Heart Palace.
However, everyone present did not know the origin of this palace. They only saw that the stairs of this palace had the characteristics of suppressing time and space.
As the stairs extended, the storms of space and time gave way one after another.
"Hurry up!"
Everyone quickly flew to the stairs and relied on "Celestial Heart Immortal Ladder" to escape from "Eight Trigrams Plaza".
But before they could reach "Celestial Heart Palace", the stairs suddenly disappeared and everyone fell back to a corridor.
The dark corridor was dank and strange, but Fu Yaozhen found a mark left behind from earlier in the surrounding area.
"This is where we found the remains of girl Dongfang. We came out--"
She repeatedly sensed and observed the fragments of the near future, finally selected a suitable future and led everyone back to "Twofold Ritual Gate".
Finally, Profound Origin City was successfully returned.
Heavenly Capital, in a dark corridor.
Gongye Mingchan carefully looked at the stone plate and stone tablet prepared by Dongfang Yunqi.
"You learned Sealing Art from me just to arrange this?"
"Yes, I need to arrange something to confuse the 'Sky Hound'. Of course, it would be better if I could leave some information."
"Information?" Gongye Mingchan looked confused.
Dongfang Yunqi looked at her without saying anything.
It is too unrealistic to tell an ancient person from 40,000 years ago about "time travel".
And in her opinion, this matter was too ridiculous.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it.
But now that things have happened, she wants to do an experiment.
At least, we should help our "future" companions feel at ease and give up their useless search.
"It's interesting."
When Fu Henghua got the things left by Dongfang Yunqi, he looked thoughtful.
"The aura of this thing is indeed left by her, but the history of this thing... is weird, a little weird..."
It's as if the stone plate has experienced infinite Years and Moons.
"Did she find an ancient artifact and leave traces?"
After touching the stone plate and realizing that there was something Sealing Art that he couldn't understand, Fu Henghua showed a strange color.
"When did her sealing method become so good? Hmm... It seems to be a combination of two Sealing Art? Taiyin and..."
He glanced at his taciturn older brother and silently ran Divine Luo Heavenly Tome.
Jade Tortoise Shell and Yellow Matron Spirit Deity performed calculations at the same time, and soon the seal was unlocked, and the ciphertext of Dongfang Yunqi was obtained.
"We were 40,000 years ago, before Southern Continent was built."
Subsequently, dozens of names including Dongfang Yunqi, Jiang Xiaoli, Zhang Xuanchu were attached.
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Fu Henghua looked blank and stared at the stone plate quietly.
Travel through time and space?
This kind of thing...
Confusion was quickly replaced by coldness, and Fu Henghua thought of the cause of the Dongyang Plain incident.
Heaven-Severing Spear Tower!
Future Demon Emperor!
Since he wants to return to the present, it is indeed possible for people in the present to go to an older time.
Just...
Isn't this energy a bit insufficient?
