Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array, Eight Extremes Transformation
The Cloud Mist Mountain Range, wreathed in smoke and clouds.
Wisps of cloud, like tufts of cotton, drifted beneath the azure sky.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying an abundance of Spiritual Qi.
The ancient Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array stretched endlessly, blanketing the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Two months ago, this mountain range had been reduced to ruins after a devastating battle.
But the New World changed with each passing day, and this land was soon completely remade by the expansion of the territory.
In the following seven or eight days, fantastic and mystical changes took place. Green mountains and clear waters emerged, drastically transforming the environment.
It became like an eternal Secret Realm, exceptionally magnificent and mysterious.
Around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, in the Land of the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array, a great number of Cultivators from all races had now gathered.
Every one of these Cultivators absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, was suffused with a Spiritual aura, and possessed world-shaking power.
"These past two months have seen world-altering changes. Old prodigies have fallen, while once-unknown geniuses have appeared out of nowhere to truly stand at the forefront of this new era."
"Indeed. Only those who can comprehend the Dream Law, grasp the opportunities presented by the world’s changes, and adapt their own Abilities by following the Celestial Dao can be considered true geniuses."
"All I can say is that the Celestial Dao has a terrifyingly seductive influence on us Cultivators. Without us even realizing it, our Cultivation begins to conform to the ways of a Small World."
"That must be the influence of the Small World’s own rules. After all, the New World is constantly expanding and has never stopped. This means the Laws of the New World are dynamic, not static. If not for Divine Son Meng Qianqiu proving this with his unparalleled Divine Technique, I fear we would have all been eliminated by now."
"The Qianqiu Divine Son is a true Divine Child. In this era, his ’Dream of a Thousand Autumns’ has given all of us Cultivators a brand new direction for our Cultivation and shown us our own shortcomings."
"The Peacock Divine Son also nearly fell into that trap. That’s why he cut his own path, dropping from the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm back to Sword Void Seven Transformation, becoming the first Pathslayer. It’s truly admirable!"
"And Immortal Phoenix Goddess Ye Tianxi, despite achieving Nirvana nine times, only earned a single chance to change her fate. In the end, she’s left with less than four months of Life Force. What a pity!"
"Speaking of pity... the one who suffered the most catastrophic loss this time, the Celestial Secret Divine Son, has probably fallen for good."
"There are rumors that everyone who had a Soul Mark connection with the Celestial Secret Divine Son has lost their Mark. This means the Celestial Secret Divine Son has undergone Transformation Dao, finally perishing on this long road of the Celestial Dao."
"This is the greatest regret of the Human Race. The Celestial Secret Divine Son probably cultivated the wrong way. Otherwise, why would his Life Chart be so fraught with hardship?"
"The Celestial Secret Divine Son was just a native from a Small World, after all. He was ignorant. Even after the New World’s Descent, he stuck to the old ways of the Small World, still trying to defy the heavens, still forcing his way through the barriers and shackles between Realms in Heaven and Earth to challenge the Laws of the New World. Who else would die if not him? I can only say that little brat was lucky he didn’t fall into my hands. Otherwise, a single Destruction Black Lotus from me would have been enough to turn him to dust!"
...
Groups of Cultivators discussed amongst themselves as they gradually stepped into the Celestial Desolate Ancient Array and vanished.
When Ye Tianling’s figure appeared, he happened to overhear these conversations, just as Lin Tianyan’s figure disappeared into the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array.
’The Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array, the Eight Extremes of Celestial Desolation Transformation? How interesting.’
Ye Tianling was lost in thought for a moment, then a supremely confident smile appeared on his face.
Previously, Lin Tianyan’s strength had been something Ye Tianling was slightly wary of. Now, Lin Tianyan, like him, was only at the Sword Void Seven Transformation Realm. The only difference was that Lin Tianyan had reached the Late Stage of Sword Void Seven Transformations, nearing the Perfection Realm.
As for Battle Power, by Ye Tianling’s estimation, Lin Tianyan’s abilities were riddled with flaws, even though his Battle Power had already surpassed Breaking Eight and was exceptionally compatible with the New World’s latest Heaven and Earth Laws.
But even though he had reached this stage, his various Abilities were still unstable and far from perfect.
This was because the New World was changing enormously with every passing moment. After every breath, the changes in Heaven and Earth were drastic.
Under these circumstances, conforming to the Celestial Dao was actually an incredibly foolish approach.
’Right now, I could kill Lin Tianyan with a single punch, at most. But it’s strange... above Lin Tianyan’s head, there’s a stream of invisible, transparent Energy, like the formless smoke after a fire, rising straight up to the heavens... Is this fate?’
Ye Tianling didn’t follow immediately. Instead, he used the Inference Technique from the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill to perform an Inference.
A moment later, Ye Tianling’s pupils contracted slightly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
’Eye of Celestial Secret, open.’
With a thought, Ye Tianling directly activated the Eye of Celestial Secret.
Then, he once again performed an Inference on Lin Tianyan’s fate.
Finally, Ye Tianling fell silent.
Lin Tianyan was facing a tribulation.
Or rather, from inside the Celestial Desolate Ancient Array all the way to the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave... there was a tribulation.
Over 99 percent of the Cultivators who entered would have no chance of survival.
Ye Tianling thought of the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique from long ago, and how even back then, he had wondered if the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique was a conspiracy.
Now, that thought had once again appeared in his mind.
’Little Dragon Girl... I really don’t want to suspect you, but right now, all signs point to you.’
’Little Dragon Girl, we are like teacher and friend, even more like family. If it really is you... I won’t blame you. What belongs to you, I will repay. But from now on, we can only... go our separate ways and forget each other.’
’But I truly hope that I’m the one who has wronged you, that I’ve misjudged you.’
’No matter what, even if this is a journey of no return, the outcome that’s meant to be will come to pass. Little Dragon Girl, wait for me.’
After a long while, Ye Tianling sighed.
Everything pointed to Little Dragon Girl and her father, Ji Tianxie.
Everything seemed like some kind of conspiracy of theirs.
Ye Tianling did not like this passive state. The feeling that everything was being controlled by some mysterious power was somewhat suffocating.
Before, this feeling wasn’t obvious. Now, possessing the Eye of Celestial Secret, Ye Tianling could detach from his own self at any time, which allowed him to sense this change.
Ye Tianling wanted to ask Feng Chaoge, but unfortunately, it was unlikely that Feng Chaoge would be appearing anytime soon.
’With the Eye of Celestial Secret to see through the True Void and the future, and with such an Inference Technique, what do I have to fear?’
Ye Tianling let out a breath, and his state of mind gradually calmed.
Then, Ye Tianling’s figure manifested in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range area. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a Primordial Rune Array that enveloped him.
