Chapter 5102 Bricklaying in the Great Desolate Wilderness (2)
The vast expanse, encompassing countless Heavenly Regions, had even begun to raise doubts in Jian Wushuang's mind.
Did the Great Si Region truly have boundaries?
Now, receiving precise information from Yu Chang's mouth, it made Jian Wushuang feel a slight unease.
If the Great Si Region alone was so vast and boundless, how would the ultimate Great Yan Domain manifest before his eyes?
And where would Xuan Yi, Old Master, and the others exist in this ultimate Great Yan Domain, and in what form?
Just as Jian Wushuang was lost in thought, Yu Chang spoke slowly, "You've seen it for yourself. Not all the voids in the Heavenly Regions can give birth to Planes. The closer you get to the boundary, the less likely it is for Planes to exist."
"The boundary of the Great Si Region, where the Emperors can expand, is the limit. Here, even the power of creation cannot exist, and further expansion has no meaning."
"So, we define the boundary of the Great Si Region as the Great Desolate Wilderness."
In a few brief words, Yu Chang outlined the contours of the Great Si Region for Jian Wushuang, giving him some understanding.
Then, Jian Wushuang stood up, facing the gusts of wind that were enough to make even celestial beings tremble. He gazed through layers of dark clouds into the endless void.
"Is there a greater expanse beyond the Great Si Region?"
"You might be disappointed. Beyond the Great Si Region lies the boundless Great Desolate Wilderness. Even the Grand Yan Immortals can become lost in the Great Desolate Wilderness and eventually turn to dust."
Jian Wushuang found it hard to believe. "So, outside the Great Si Region, is there only the boundless Great Desolate Wilderness?"
"Of course not," Yu Chang smiled. "While the Great Desolate Wilderness may be boundless, it still has boundaries. Beyond those boundaries, there are many domains similar to the Great Si Region, dazzling and incomprehensible."
Jian Wushuang's heart burned with excitement. He felt that even his dormant heart was beginning to stir.
Infinite existence meant infinite possibilities, and everything was within reach!
At this moment, he thought of something else and looked at Yu Chang. "Lord Yu, may I ask, what is the nearest great domain adjacent to the Great Si Region called?"
Yu Chang gazed at him with a smile and asked, "Why do you ask? Are you thinking of leaving the Great Si Region?"
"No, no, I was just curious..." Jian Wushuang hesitated.
"This isn't something that can't be discussed, but very few Yan Immortals within the Great Si Region know about this," replied Yu Chang.
"The great domain adjacent to the Great Si Region, at the boundary of the vast Great Desolate Wilderness... that great domain is known as the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm."
Jian Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. "The Heaven-Reaching... Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm?!"
The person inquired, "What's the matter, do you know of that place?"
"No, I don't know it. It just sounds somewhat intriguing," Jian Wushuang replied.
Yu Chang gazed ahead, as if reminiscing. "I once had an out-of-body experience there. All the Buddhist leaders there are quite stubborn and extreme, which gave me some unfavorable impressions."
'It's too much of a coincidence that the neighboring Great Si Region happens to be the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm...' Jian Wushuang thought to himself, feeling astonished.
Memories from the past surfaced once again. Although he had never been to the so-called Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm, it seemed to have developed some connection with him unknowingly.
In the Sand Demon Cavern, encountering the Blood Sea led to him being involved with Karma. It was a strange affliction caused great killing tribulations, known as 'karmic calamity'.
Before her death, the Sand Demon Cave's master, Sha Qing, entrusted him with the knowledge that the only way to resolve the karmic calamity was to go to the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm.
This was what had linked Jian Wushuang to the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm.
Now, after the passage of over 20,000 years, the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm, nearly relegated to his memories, surged back into his thoughts.
'Should I go to the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm or not?' Jian Wushuang pondered in his heart, while also worrying about the karmic calamity he bore.
The so-called karmic calamity was like a crack, initially not posing significant harm, but it was a hidden danger.
This kind of hidden danger would grow with the host's continuous strengthening, eventually becoming impossible to ignore.
Currently, Jian Wushuang had no way to deal with this significant karmic calamity, but he knew that if he did not clear it in time, it would thoroughly destroy his refined Divine Sense.
So, he couldn't overlook any clues related to the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm.
Because of a woman and a karmic calamity, Jian Wushuang established a connection with the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm.
Certainly, these were all things that Yu Chang didn't know, and naturally, he didn't think in that direction.
Yu Chang continued, "So, my knowledge of the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm is not very good, and even the Emperor looks down on that place."
At this point, he looked at Jian Wushuang and continued, "So what you have to do when you come to this border, the Great Desolate Wilderness is to lay bricks, work hard to lay bricks."
"Ah, really? Is it really laying bricks?"
"That can't be fake; the Emperor doesn't jest."
...
I don't know how long it had passed, how many leaps through the void had been made, even time had lost all meaning, until Jian Wushuang became completely numb, everything finally made progress.
"Up ahead is the Great Desolate Wilderness," Yu Chang said.
Jian Wushuang's spirit shook, and he got up to look ahead.
He saw that the originally pitch-black void had a dim light and solid ground.
Wait, solid ground?!
How could there be solid ground in the desolate void of the Great Desolate Wilderness where even dust couldn't exist?
But when the giant bird under him landed steadily on that solid ground, Jian Wushuang truly believed it.
Here, at the boundary of the Great Si Region, in the void of the Great Desolate Wilderness, there actually existed in the form of solid ground.
The boundless earth stretched as far as the eye could see in every direction in the void.
The giant bird, standing steadily on the ground, raised its head and let out a long cry, then transformed into a palm-sized Chasing Bird and flew into Yu Chang's palm, disappearing.
"No, it's not land."
Standing on the ground, Jian Wushuang's face changed slightly, and he quickly realized that the ground under his feet was not real earth but was made up of countless Immortal bones!
Yu Chang looked at him approvingly and said, "Yes, this Great Desolate Wilderness border cannot possibly have solid ground; this solid ground is actually paved with the bones of Peak Cultivators, Yan Immortals, and even Grand Yan Immortals."
"These are all the bones of cultivators and Yan Immortals from the Great Si Region?" Jian Wushuang's gaze became heavy.
There were simply too many, to the point of being unimaginable.
How many cultivators and Yan Immortals' bones were needed to fill the entire void of the Great Desolate Wilderness like this?!
Yu Chang nodded, as if describing a trivial matter, "Indeed, they are all the bones of cultivators and Yan Immortals from the Great Si Region, with the bones of Grand Yan Immortals accounting for 70 percent of them."
Jian Wushuang was shocked. To completely cover this Great Desolate Wilderness border, what kind of brutal battles must have been fought in that Ancient Era?
The establishment of a Heavenly Court required the extermination of so many Yan Immortals, didn't it?
He also began to understand why Yan Immortals were so rare in the Great Si Region now, and Grand Yan Immortals were almost non-existent.
The reasons for this, I'm afraid, can be traced back to the War of the Emperors in that Ancient Era.
