#415 - Chapter 423: The Secret of the Uncircular Heaven, the Secret of the Dark Source
“How did you know?”
The black mist giant was shocked and looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
His identity was unknown even to his closest junior brother, Dao Ancestor Cangjiu, and his disciple, Dao Ancestor Mo Yan.
How did Jiang Ning know?
“I have successfully cultivated the cultivation methods of Pan Zu, Empress Wa, and the Eastern Emperor. How could I not have cultivated the Xi Emperor's, who is equally famous as them?”
“When you launched your attack, the cultivation methods of the three of them reacted.”
“If I'm not mistaken, the four of you simultaneously obtained cultivation methods that surpassed the Immortal Dao, and these methods must be related.”
“Based on this, it is undoubtedly that you are the mysteriously disappeared Xi Emperor.”
Jiang Ning revealed his guess.
At this time, he finally understood.
Why the Celestial Tribulation Light he used in the Blood God World could fuse with Pan Linglong's Three Styles of Creation to attack.
Jiang Ning even suspected that these cultivation methods that surpassed the Immortal Dao belonged to the same cultivation method, and then were split apart.
“You're quite clever.”
“Unfortunately, you will still perish here today.”
Xi Huang sneered.
What he cultivated was the 《Supreme Celestial Scripture》, which was also a cultivation technique that surpassed the Immortal Dao.
He, Pan Zu, Empress Wa, and the Eastern Emperor obtained the inheritance together back then.
They had long felt that the four cultivation methods were related.
However, the one he obtained was as difficult to cultivate as ascending to heaven. After spending a great deal of effort, he barely managed to cultivate it to the Small Success stage.
Naturally, he had no intention of studying the other three.
(The protagonist's opportunity to quickly improve his strength is coming soon.)
“I really can't figure it out. As the Emperor of the Human Race, why did you join the darkness?”
According to legends, Xi Huang taught humans how to survive, read, and cultivate, and opened up living space for the human race.
He was a selfless and promising Emperor.
It is hard to believe that the Boundless Palace, which has devoted itself to darkness, is related to Xi Huang.
“Heaven and earth will destroy those who do not act for themselves. What's wrong with joining the darkness for me and my sister to be eternal?”
“Let me tell you, darkness is a force you cannot resist. If you hadn't killed Ba'er, I could have led you into the darkness and enjoyed even greater power.”
Endless dark power formed a terrifying dark vortex, enveloping Xi Huang.
“Prepare to die!”
Xi Huang attacked again, condensing nine dark vortexes.
Each vortex released a terrifying destructive energy.
They condensed together and blasted towards Jiang Ning.
“Rumble~”
The entire chaotic void began to collapse infinitely, and the Great Dao was completely annihilated.
The nine destructive energies rotated together, forming a special formation.
It sealed off all the surrounding space and enveloped Jiang Ning.
“It's not that easy to kill me.”
Jiang Ning smiled coldly.
Boom!
The supreme imperial power completely erupted.
“Roar~”
The imperial dragon emerged, coiling around Jiang Ning's body.
Jiang Ning was as small as an ant in front of the imperial dragon.
He stood in the void, standing on the dragon, suppressing the nine heavens and ruling the eight wastes.
Nirvana Aurora!
Jiang Ning condensed the magic seal and used his attack.
This was the upgraded move of the Celestial Tribulation Light recorded in the lower volume of the Mending Heaven Scripture.
Its power was far greater than the Celestial Tribulation Light.
In an instant, the entire sky completely cracked.
Countless black rays, like lightning, split down from the sky.
The black rays shattered the void and entangled the destructive energy.
Boom~
Suddenly, the entire chaotic void was exploding.
Endless light, like a tsunami, quickly surged to a very distant place, annihilating the entire chaos.
Xi Huang's attack was ruthlessly blocked by Jiang Ning.
“Impossible!”
“How could you have cultivated the lower volume of the Mending Heaven Scripture?”
Xi Huang was shocked and couldn't believe the facts before him.
Back then, Empress Wa spent hundreds of millions of years to successfully cultivate the lower volume of the Mending Heaven Scripture.
How old is this Jiang Ning?
And he hasn't even attained the Dao yet.
“Nothing is impossible.”
“Xi Huang, since you want to be my enemy, I have no choice but to send you on your way.”
Xi Huang himself had the strength of a half-step transcendence.
Now, he used the Refining Heaven Blood Array to absorb the power of more than twenty Dao Ancestors.
It would be difficult to kill him without using external plug-in power.
Clear Picture Plug-in, open!
The terrifying plug-in power condensed in Jiang Ning's palm.
“Die!”
Jiang Ning's eyes were cold.
Without any fancy moves, Jiang Ning casually slapped towards Xi Huang in the distance.
No matter what his identity was, if he wanted to be his enemy and kill the people around him, he couldn't let him go.
“Is this your trump card to increase your strength?”
“You can't kill this palace!”
Xi Huang sneered.
Suddenly, the dark power of his whole body completely gathered together, condensing into a sword of darkness.
The sword intent soared into the sky, and everything it passed was annihilated, which was extremely terrifying.
Xi Huang even used the 《Supreme Celestial Scripture》 to condense a black dragon, which was wrapped around the sword of darkness.
Suddenly, the power of the divine sword doubled.
“Kill!”
Xi Huang shouted, waved his hand, and controlled the sword of darkness to rush towards Jiang Ning.
Boom!
A sword pierced through the ages, and time and space were annihilated.
This sword was definitely the strongest power Jiang Ning had ever seen so far.
However, no matter how strong a sword is, it is insignificant in front of a cheat.
The sword of darkness slammed into Jiang Ning's palm, and was instantly disintegrated, unable to make even the slightest ripple.
“What?” Xi Huang's face changed, unable to believe that his strongest attack was so vulnerable in front of Jiang Ning.
At this time, Jiang Ning's giant hand had already shrouded towards Xi Huang.
“No…” Xi Huang showed a look of horror and shouted.
Jiang Ning used the Heavens Realm to try to transform Xi Huang.
He was very interested in the cultivation method in his hand.
He could tell at a glance that it was a cultivation method of imperial power.
Now, Jiang Ning has obtained the strongest imperial power of the Immortal Dao. If he cooperates with the cultivation method practiced by Xi Huang, his strength will definitely be improved again.
Moreover, he can also get more information about the darkness from Xi Huang.
“Transform for me!”
Jiang Ning continued to release his mental field, invading Xi Huang.
Xi Huang resisted frantically, causing Jiang Ning's mental invasion to be blocked outside.
“It seems that Xi Huang cannot be transformed, which is a pity.”
After a period of transformation, Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly.
Then, he stopped trying to transform and slapped Xi Huang to death.
In this way, Xi Huang, one of the four strongest in chaos, the mysterious Boundless Palace, fell into Jiang Ning's hands.
I am afraid that Xi Huang died with regret, and still cannot believe it until now.
He died in the hands of an ant that he completely looked down upon at the beginning.
Rumble~
As soon as Xi Huang died, the depths of chaos began to shake violently.
“What's going on?”
Jiang Ning was shocked and looked at the depths of chaos.
“Jiang Ning, there is a terrible aura in the depths of chaos, as if it is about to break free.”
“If I'm not mistaken, a terrifying existence is suppressed in the depths of chaos.”
“If not, Xi Huang would have personally taken action to strangle you.”
Wang Youning looked at the depths of chaos and said indifferently.
At this moment, Jiang Ning felt very fortunate.
If Xi Huang had taken action himself in the Celestial God Academy, I am afraid that he would have died without a doubt.
You must know that he is a half-step detachment powerhouse.
However, Jiang Ning also became curious, "Who is this strong man suppressed by Xi Huang in the depths of chaos?"
Just as Jiang Ning was still wondering, the formation that suppressed the terrifying existence in the depths of chaos was completely destroyed after losing Xi Huang's control.
He could no longer suppress him.
At this time, Jiang Ning and Wang Youning looked over together, wanting to know who the owner of this terrifying aura was.
Boom!
In the depths of chaos, a brilliant divine light, like a tsunami, surged out.
In the divine light, a looming and blurred figure appeared.
Gradually, this blurred and powerful figure became clearer and clearer, and walked towards Jiang Ning and the two.
It turned out to be a woman!
She was peerless, beautiful and transcendent, as if standing under the ancient starry sky, looking down on the nine heavens.
“She…”
“Why is there a familiar aura?”
Jiang Ning looked at the woman who came out in confusion.
At this time, Wang Youning said, "She should be Empress Wa!"
“The most talented and most powerful woman in the Immortal Domain.”
“She is Empress Wa?”
“Why did Xi Huang suppress his sister?”
Jiang Ning was shocked.
He didn't expect that Empress Wa hadn't fallen, but was imprisoned and suppressed by Xi Huang.
Looking at the woman who came, Jiang Ning's heart couldn't help but beat.
There are too many legends about Empress Wa, and he has also obtained her inheritance.
This is an extremely beautiful, powerful, and unparalleled woman.
The most powerful woman in ancient times.
None of them!
Her demeanor made all living beings in the Immortal Domain fall down, and even after a long time, they still worshipped her.
“Jiang Ning, we finally meet.”
Empress Wa smiled slightly.
With one step, it seemed to span the endless river of time and came to Jiang Ning's side.
“Do you know me?” Jiang Ning looked at Empress Wa in surprise. After all, this was their first meeting, right?
“Although I know you, it was me who led you to the Immortal Domain.”
Empress Wa said with a smile.
This made Jiang Ning even more confused.
He was led by Empress Wa?
“What do you mean?” Jiang Ning asked in confusion.
Empress Wa no longer played tricks and explained to Jiang Ning herself.
“Back then, I, Pan Zu, Brother, and the Eastern Emperor Wu broke into Buzhou Mountain and obtained opportunities inside.”
“Buzhou Mountain?”
“Didn't you four build Buzhou Mountain?”
Jiang Ning was a little surprised.
Empress Wa smiled, "We declared to the outside world that Buzhou Mountain was built by the four of us, but it wasn't at all. It existed long ago."
“Doing that is just to cover people's eyes.”
“Moreover, this is also a trial space randomly set in the Immortal Domain by a great power from the upper realm.”
“The more trials you pass, the more rewards you get.”
“The Mending Heaven Scripture, the Creation Scripture, the Heavens Realm Scripture, and the Supreme Celestial Scripture are all rewards we obtained after passing the trials.”
Empress Wa revealed the secrets of Buzhou Mountain.
“So that's it!”
Jiang Ning nodded.
Now, his yearning for Buzhou Mountain has become even stronger.
A trial space randomly set by a great power from the upper realm?
What kind of rewards can I get if I enter?
The upper realm in Empress Wa's mouth refers to a world with a level higher than the Immortal Domain.
An existence that transcends the Immortal Dao.
How could Jiang Ning not be moved?
He is not afraid of any difficulty at all. After all, with the help of plug-ins, he is afraid that he will not encounter any opportunities.
Empress Wa glanced at Jiang Ning and continued.
“Back then, I and Pan Zu passed more levels, so we obtained one more thing than the Eastern Emperor and Brother.”
“The thing that Pan Zu obtained was called the Nine Heavens Tower, which is an extremely powerful treasure.”
“And what I obtained is a cultivation method called 《Ten Thousand Realms Soul Technique》!”
“I only comprehended a small part and mastered one ability, which is the Soul Guidance of Ten Thousand Realms.”
“As the name suggests, it is to attract souls wandering in the ten thousand realms to the Immortal Domain for rebirth.”
“If I'm not mistaken, your soul is not a creature of this world at all. It was attracted by me using the 《Ten Thousand Realms Soul Technique》.”
“What?” Jiang Ning was completely shocked at this moment.
He was actually attracted by Empress Wa?
At this time, Jiang Ning finally understood the reason why he traveled through the world.
However, what is going on with his plug-in?
Obviously, this is definitely not Empress Wa's handwriting.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be suppressed by Xi Huang.
What is the source of darkness? Isn't it easy to solve with a wave of your hand?
Wang Youning on the side was also surprised.
Jiang Ning is not a person from this world.
No wonder his cultivation speed is so incomprehensible.
“Why did you attract my soul?” Jiang Ning asked.
“Back then, we fought against the darkness and were completely defeated.”
“Pan Zu, the Eastern Emperor, and a group of great powers joined forces and sacrificed themselves to temporarily seal the boundary wall channel, and the dark disaster was temporarily resolved.”
“I originally planned to sacrifice myself at the time.”
“In the end, I was rescued by my brother.”
“Alas~” Thinking of her brother Xi Huang, Empress Wa felt a pang of heartache and did not want to continue.
The two siblings had a very good relationship.
Back then, the reason why Xi Huang joined the darkness was entirely for Empress Wa.
He did not want Empress Wa to die, so he chose to join the darkness and chose to darken.
Empress Wa naturally could not accept it and wanted to break ties with Xi Huang and sever the relationship between siblings.
Then, under the bewitchment of darkness, Xi Huang wanted to darken Empress Wa.
At that time, she would be able to accept darkness.
The two siblings would be reconciled.
So, under Xi Huang's coaxing, Empress Wa was suppressed in the depths of chaos.
For countless years, Xi Huang has been constantly darkening Empress Wa.
Empress Wa has been resisting.
The two siblings have been fighting like this for countless years.
Although Nuwa wasn't completely corrupted, most of her body was already tainted by darkness.
“I know that seal is only temporary; sooner or later, the source of darkness will make a comeback.”
“When that time comes, the entire Immortal Realm will fall, and living beings will suffer.”
“Therefore, I placed my last hope on the Myriad Realms Soul Technique.”
“Hoping to guide the soul of a great expert from the Upper Realm to reincarnate in the Immortal Realm and save us.”
Nuwa said.
At the time, she was only clinging to a sliver of hope.
This kind of soul-guiding technique is very random.
It might attract the soul of a living being from a world even lower than the Immortal Realm.
After all, this was the only method, and Nuwa had no other choice.
She could only try.
Currently, it seems she succeeded.
“You cultivate so quickly; you must be the soul of an unparalleled expert from the Upper Realm, right?”
“Um… sort of.”
Jiang Ning coughed awkwardly.
He didn't want anyone to know about the cheat.
Just let them think he was someone from the Upper Realm.
He also felt a little excited in his heart.
It seemed there was hope for him to return to Earth.
In any case, Earth was Jiang Ning's hometown, and it was only natural for a traveler to miss home.
If possible, Jiang Ning still wanted to go back and take a look.
“Then how did you let Qing Nu find me?”
Jiang Ning asked his question.
“I deliberately guided the soul to the Lower Realm, so it would be easier to grow and not die prematurely, and its potential would be greater.”
Apart from Chaos beings, the potential of ascenders is greater than that of native Immortal Realm inhabitants.
This is the balance of Heaven's Dao.
The starting point for living beings in the mortal world is low, and cultivation is difficult.
But once they ascend to the Immortal Realm, they will undergo a qualitative change.
“I only initiated the guidance.”
“As for when that soul would come to the Immortal Realm, it was completely unknown.”
“Maybe after a year, maybe after billions of years.”
Nuwa said.
“Then why did you determine that the person who could cultivate the Heaven Mending Scripture would be the savior?”
Back then, Qing Nu found him because he had cultivated the Heaven Mending Scripture.
At that time, Jiang Ning didn't believe he was the person Nuwa prophesied.
“In the Immortal Realm, very few people can successfully cultivate the Heaven Mending Scripture, let alone in the mortal world.”
“Being able to cultivate the Heaven Mending Scripture in a short time can only be done by the reincarnation of a great expert from the Upper Realm.”
“I was certain that the person who could cultivate the Heaven Mending Scripture in the Lower Realm was the one I needed to find.”
“Therefore, I sent Qing Nu.”
This was Nuwa's logic.
It was also the reason why she deliberately let the soul-guided person be reborn in the mortal world.
After all, in the Immortal Realm, there would always be one or two geniuses who could cultivate the Heaven Mending Scripture, making it difficult to find the person she needed.
But this situation did not exist in the mortal world.
At this time, Jiang Ning understood the cause and effect of his arrival.
He smiled helplessly in his heart.
He died suddenly because of using a cheat, but he didn't expect to be soul-guided by Nuwa.
Originally, Nuwa's soul guidance had failed.
Jiang Ning was not someone from the Upper Realm at all.
There was basically no cultivation on Earth.
However, for some reason.
The cheat that Jiang Ning programmed came with him.
Helping him cultivate quickly.
This was a mistake, but it was considered a successful soul guidance.
“Jiang Ning, do you have any other questions you want to ask?”
“I will tell you everything I know.”
Nuwa looked at Jiang Ning with a smile.
Jiang Ning naturally didn't stand on ceremony and began to ask his first question.
“Can you tell me in detail about Mount Buzhou?”
Jiang Ning was very curious about this trial space randomly set by the great expert from the Upper Realm.
Nuwa smiled and said, “There is no need to tell you more; you will understand naturally when you enter.”
“You only need to remember that after entering Mount Buzhou, try your best to pass more trial levels.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ning nodded and raised his second question.
“Can you tell me about the origin of the dark source?”
Nuwa nodded and said, “Because my elder brother has joined the darkness, I know more information.”
“He usually tells me many things.”
“I also learned about your affairs from him.”
“This dark source should be from the Upper Realm, a world higher than the Immortal Realm; my elder brother said it's called the Abyss Demon Realm.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning was shocked, “You said it's from the Upper Realm?”
“If that's the case, the Immortal Realm can't resist it at all.”
Just imagine, how could the Immortal Realm resist if it attacked the mortal world with all its strength?
Nuwa said, “What is attacking the Immortal Realm is just a small force in the Abyss Demon Realm, not the power of the entire Abyss Demon Realm.”
“Moreover, there is the power of the realm wall to protect it; unless a great expert from the Upper Realm takes action, it is difficult to break through the realm wall. We only need to guard the entrance of the realm wall.”
“Then what is their purpose in attacking the Immortal Realm?”
“Logically speaking, living beings from the Upper Realm would not be interested in the Lower Realm.”
The resources of the Immortal Realm are completely worthless to the Upper Realm.
There is no need to spend energy to occupy it.
“Naturally, it is for Mount Buzhou!”
“I don't know through what channels they learned about the Immortal Realm having a trial space for great experts from the Upper Realm and wanted to enter Mount Buzhou.”
“They want to keep the secret of Mount Buzhou, so they want to slaughter all living beings in the Immortal Realm.”
“We can only be forced to fight back; otherwise, how dare we offend the great figures of the Upper Realm?”
“We would be willing to hand over Mount Buzhou even.”
Nuwa said helplessly.
The reason for not letting the darkness enter Mount Buzhou is entirely because they want to slaughter all living beings.
My elder brother is also pitiful, being used by the darkness.
Once he is used up, he will definitely die.
But no matter how she tries to persuade him, he doesn't believe it.
At this time, Jiang Ning finally understood the origin of the dark source.
It turned out to be a force from the Upper Realm that learned of the existence of Mount Buzhou.
So they wanted to enter and at the same time wanted to slaughter all beings in the Immortal Realm to keep the secret.
The so-called dark source is so simple.
Because they appear shrouded in black mist.
Therefore, there is the saying of the dark source and the descent of darkness.
“Jiang Ning, do you have any other questions?”
Nuwa looked at Jiang Ning.
“No.” Jiang Ning replied.
The things he cares about most are Mount Buzhou and the dark source.
“Jiang Ning, I cannot leave Chaos; otherwise, I will be immediately corrupted by darkness.”
“Can you let my second primordial spirit's reincarnation come here?”
“Even if I die, I am unwilling to be darkened and become their pawns to destroy the Immortal Realm.”
“Before I die, I will transfer all my power and memories to her.”
Nuwa suddenly said.
In countless years, her body has long been contaminated.
Before long, she will be completely darkened, lose her mind, and become a pawn of darkness.
“Is there no way to solve it?” Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
Although he had just met Nuwa, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy for some reason.
He didn't want to see her fall like this.
Perhaps it was because his soul was attracted by her using the Myriad Realms Soul Technique.
“No.” Nuwa shook her head.
“You don't need to be sad; the reincarnation of the second primordial spirit is also me.”
“After I merge with her, it will be considered a rebirth.”
“It's just that in order not to be discovered by my elder brother, I cut off all contact and memories with her.”
The second primordial spirit has the memory of the main body and is actually no different from the main body.
However, in order not to be discovered by Emperor Xi, Nuwa was forced to cut off contact.
“Okay.” Jiang Ning nodded.
“Jiang Ning, Emperor Xi is my elder brother; we once exchanged cultivation methods.”
“Therefore, I can teach you the Imperial Zenith Heaven Scripture that he cultivates; this is considered a reward for you.”
“I have just observed that you possess powerful imperial power; after cultivating the Imperial Zenith Heaven Scripture, your strength will definitely be stronger.”
Nuwa said.
She pointed lightly, and a ray of light shot into Jiang Ning's mind.
