Chapter 2483 The Return of Ancestor Heng
In this year, in the Realm of Shadow Immortals.
The sky cracked.
Within it, endless illusory images of mountains and rivers slowly descended upon the ancient immortal realm, vast and boundless.
On this day, the great beings of all realms throughout the ages returned to their ancestral lands.
Thousands of mountains.
A magnificent mountain range stretches across endless space, rising and falling from the edge of the void. The mountains reach the sky, and the peaks overlap, resembling a skeletal structure of heaven and earth stretched to its limit when viewed from afar.
The mountains stand majestically, their ridgelines stretching into the distance.
Each mountain seems to bear the weight of an era. Its terrain is expansive and majestic, neither precipitous nor gloomy, but rather a vast and natural force that follows the great way.
Amidst the mountains, a sea of clouds surges forth.
The celestial clouds rolled and flowed among the mountains, their light and shadow shifting, as if the heavens and earth were slowly breathing. Occasionally, ancient celestial birds would fly across the clouds, their wings flapping and splitting the sea of clouds for thousands of miles, only to close up again in an instant.
The mountains, standing silently for millions of years, have never declined because of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.
But on this day...
The mountain ranges that were originally layered and stretched endlessly became solid at this moment, as if the heavens and earth were being pulled inward by an invisible force, and the peaks that were originally out of reach suddenly came into view.
The celestial clouds, stretching for billions of miles, poured down from the high sky, layer upon layer pressing down on the mountains. The clouds surged and rolled, but they no longer had their usual expansiveness. It was as if they were being held down by an invisible giant hand, forcibly piled up between the mountains!
at the same time--
The countless practitioners within the mountains fell silent!
Tianlun Sect.
On the peaks, millions of disciples bowed their heads in unison.
In the instant of bowing, the sound waves surged like a celestial river pouring down:
"Welcome back to the mountain, Ancestor!!"
The sound soared into the sky, shaking the mountains, echoing from peak to peak, and lasting for thousands of miles. Even the sea of clouds in the Shadow Immortal Realm paused for a moment.
……
Deep within the realm of Shadow Immortals, there has been no light since time immemorial.
There is no alternation of day and night, nor the movement of stars; only layers of shadows rise and fall like ocean tides, swallowing up the very years. For billions of years, no living being has ever been able to stand here for long, let alone cultivate.
On this day, the sea of shadows suddenly came to a standstill.
Without a sound, the flow of shadow tides ceased, as if held down by some invisible will, and the entire Shadow Immortal Realm experienced a brief moment of stillness.
Immediately afterwards——
boom!
It wasn't thunder, but it was more thunderous than thunder.
Deep within the Sea of Shadows, a wheel-like shadow, immeasurable by sight, slowly rotated. Initially just a hazy trace, it rapidly expanded as it rotated, layer upon layer, as if an ancient celestial disc was being pushed back into operation in the darkness.
Wherever the shadow of the wheel passed, the shadow's aura dissipated on its own.
It was not that it was banished or torn apart, but rather that it was as if it had encountered the source. The most sinister and darkest shadow essence in the Shadow Immortal Realm quietly disintegrated as the Wheel of Shadows approached, transforming into strands of pure and supremely radiant immortal light that spontaneously flowed and returned to oneness.
The ethereal aura arises from nothing.
The Shadow Immortal Realm, originally a place where the immortal energy of all realms was cut off, is now like a rekindled membrane of heaven and earth. Immortal radiance is endless, evolving on its own, growing stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, a vast and boundless immortal misty sky domain has gathered in the depths of the Shadow Sea!
From the center of the wheel's shadow, a figure slowly emerged.
His white hair fell to his shoulders, and his robes were old and worn, not showing any extravagance. Yet, as he walked, heaven and earth made way for him. With each step, the shadow of the wheel hummed softly, and the void rippled like water, spreading out in layers.
Celestial Immortal!
Without looking up or glancing around, he traversed an endless distance in one step, reaching the myriad mountains.
Countless disciples of the Heavenly Wheel Sect were both excited and horrified.
That's the ancestor?!
This being absorbed and expelled immortal energy, which naturally circulated in an instant.
Immortal mist was born beside him and then disappeared in the cycle of reincarnation, its birth and death intertwined, yet never ceasing.
As if...
The ethereal aura did not originate from antiquity, but from this person!
The Celestial Immortal's gaze was deep, his eyes carrying the endless vicissitudes of having witnessed the ends of heaven and earth. He spoke calmly: "The mountains are vast and desolate, and my path is long and winding. From this day forward, in the eternal and glorious era, the Celestial Immortal Path will change its course to the Celestial Great Path, proving the origin of the Dao."
His voice was vast and expansive, resounding through countless mountains and dense forests, echoing the eternal Daoist voice of heaven and earth.
Just as all beings were in shock.
Three figures quietly appeared behind the Celestial Immortal.
Bai Xinghan, Sha Diao, Qian Wuhen.
The first disciple, Bai Xinghan, had a solemn expression, every hair on his head filled with 'respect' for his master, completely different from before. He seemed to have submitted.
But judging from the subtle expressions on their faces when they looked at each other, they had only acknowledged it, not given in.
Old scoundrel Tianlun.
Prove yourself to become a true immortal!
His body generates a vast world of immortal energy, capable of supplying the entire ancient immortal realm with immortal energy by himself. He is unparalleled in the world. Even if the ancient immortal realm is destroyed, this old scoundrel can lead all the spirits of the ancient immortal realm to rise again.
Its magical power is so strong that it is unfathomable, capable of suppressing them from 'ten thousand miles away' until they are completely disoriented.
"I will obey the Ancestor's command!"
"I will obey the Immortal Lord's command!"
"Hehe, yes, Master."
……
The echo reverberated through the mountains, its sound lingering and vast, as if it were not human voices, but the entire mountain range speaking at once.
Bai Xinghan's lips twitched, and he bowed his head and clasped his hands in greeting.
The top of the mountains.
The Celestial Immortal stroked his beard and smiled, full of vigor and spirit. All the mountains had spirits. Having inherited the Celestial Immortal Sect's legacy and devoured the ancient immortal energy, he returned from the Shadow Immortal Realm with the ultimate origin of the Celestial Immortal Path, the Great Dao at its peak!
……
Tianji Taoist Palace.
An endless array of extraordinary phenomena manifested, and before the eyes of a short man, one after another, 'lower realms' spanning epochs flowed by, revealing the cycles of reincarnation of these former lower realms.
The vast world, the three thousand great worlds, and so on...
All of this was within the sight of this man.
Beyond the sky.
Countless disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Palace were utterly shocked, as if they were witnessing an incomparably majestic ancient ancestor of heaven and earth stirring up the winds and clouds of the long river of time. They couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked and wanted to witness it as well.
"Welcome back, Ancestor!"
Someone cupped their hands and shouted, and the entire Heavenly Mystery Palace seemed to erupt in chaos, spreading its grand heavenly sound across billions of miles of starry sky.
The short man smiled knowingly and nodded slightly.
On the Heavenly Secrets Platform.
Ke Zixiao's pen trembled, his gaze utterly shocked. He saw the endless secrets of heaven and earth descending, saw the origin of heaven and earth, reincarnation, and eternity, and saw them... rising and falling in the scroll of the Venerable Lord's secrets.
"Is this... the power of a Celestial Immortal...?"
He murmured in shock, as if he had lost himself. It seemed the great secret that had been revealed through countless cycles of reincarnation in the mortal realm was about to be unveiled by the Venerable One...
……
Yuzhu Continent.
Yu family.
The magnificent Flying Immortal Platform spans the heavens. On this day, the Yu family actually opened up the Flying Immortal Path of Heaven and Earth. Whether the Yu family's disciples can become immortals is not determined by the eternal heaven and earth, but only by the Flying Immortal Platform. It is as if the Yu family has taken sole control of the path to immortality!
But on this day, a sense of despair permeated all the disciples of the Changsheng family.
That sounds awesome...
But this path to ascension is a hundred times more difficult than the eternal path to immortality!
