The Outside World.
Boom!
The sound of heaven and earth collapsing echoed endlessly, shocking the entire world!
Whether it was the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Da Li, the ancient immortal sects, the ancient cultivating immortality families, the Unwarranted Sea, the West Sea, the Forbidden Sea, and so on, all were undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Endless floods swept in, engulfing the heavens and earth. Mortals suffered heavy casualties, and in less than a moment, nearly all of Da Li's billions of citizens perished!
Jiang Family Residence.
Two ancestors of the Jiang family wept tears of blood: "The opening of the boundary has brought such a great calamity."
Even when faced with the apocalypse brought by Filthy Longevity, they were not afraid, at least they could resist.
But this time... Filthy Longevity seemed insignificant in comparison, merely gathering momentum had already caused the heavens to weep.
The Jiang family ancestors had already divined that the Ascending Sun Dream Jade was completely shattered, a certain death situation, unsolvable...
The path ahead was a darkness that could be seen at a glance, impossible to resist any longer.
The ancestral teachings of the ancient immortal sects and ancient cultivating immortality families were still remembered, but the words of the legacies became fewer and more blurred.
They only knew not to venture into the outside world, not to yearn for the grand world... to cultivate peacefully within the boundary.
But as the years passed, the impact of these ancestral teachings on their Dao hearts grew weaker, how could cultivators not yearn for the path of immortality?
They even turned a blind eye, allowing family disciples to go to the Boundary Battlefield, and eventually even participated themselves, paving the way forward.
But even if the boundary path was opened, they dared not go out, though they could hear news from the outside world within the boundary, which was a kind of spiritual solace.
At the same time, they let their disciples go to the grand world incognito, forgetting the past of their ancestors.
But now, it was all too late, regret was futile.
No one could predict whether the sun would rise tomorrow, or if disaster would strike without warning.
And now everything that was happening seemed to have traces, but no one paid attention.
As if with the silent erosion of time, those who originally came from the grand world seemed to have lost their original reverence, even the Jiang family only now saw everything clearly.
"Ancestor!"
"Ancestor!"
...
Countless members of the Jiang family stood in the air, still mourning.
They finally understood the meaning of the ancestral teachings, why they were not allowed to pave the way, once the path was opened, true despair descended.
Jiang Zhaocheng was still among them, he had not left the boundary, he was still following his Master, but now... it seemed everything was too late.
The boundary had been prosperous for a hundred years, even the entire Buddhist sect had been jointly overthrown by various forces.
Master reopened this path, Buddhism flourished, not cultivating the incense path, stepping out of the temple, comprehending heaven and earth.
Now, Buddhist cultivators were everywhere in the 360 states of Da Li, cultivating their hearts, cultivating themselves, no longer welcoming the prosperous incense.
Buddhist cultivators had begun to write their own scriptures, the Ten States Debate was a grand event, The Hundred Schools of Thought Contend.
But everything, all of it, was completely destroyed today in less than an hour, without any warning, the boundary began to sink completely...
"Fellow Daoist."
"All the disciples of the Jiang family, I will send you on your final journey!"
Suddenly, the aura of the first ancestor of the Jiang family changed dramatically, his white robe fluttering without wind, "Head to the Milky Way, I will personally stabilize the space passage for you, go to the grand world, never reveal the name of the Jiang family!"
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Ancestor!"
...
Everyone exclaimed in shock, looking at the ancestor in disbelief, it was the first time they felt the closeness of blood, the first time they felt the ancestor's care.
"Go!"
The gaze of the Jiang family ancestor sharpened, the thousands of space passages by the Milky Way were already guarded by the Bai Li clan.
But in the current situation, the space passages would not be stable, a strong person must stay to stabilize the space passages.
He could no longer leave, there was no stronger person to stabilize the space passages for them.
Even if it meant sacrificing himself, he had to do something meaningful.
One by one, magical artifacts for flying emerged from storage rings, the Jiang family members, with solemn expressions, began to step into the final hidden teleportation array.
The vast mountains in all directions were collapsing, the entire 360 states of Da Li were filled with earth-shattering wails and cries.
In the farthest reaches of the sky, three colossal beasts still gazed coldly at everything, white light dazzling the world, the speed at which the boundary's vital energy was being drained was increasing.
The vital energy of the boundary was surging towards that direction, the speed of decay of all things was also accelerating, even the cultivators were beginning to be affected, their faces growing increasingly grim.
This was a cataclysmic disaster, they were all heading towards the boundary portal.
At this moment, the entire Milky Way was trembling, frantically resisting the vital energy being drawn away!
The vast Milky Way was the last defiance of the boundary creatures, countless heroic souls of soldiers and cultivators were buried here.
They made sacrifices for the boundary in the end, even if it was just for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn or a moment, more creatures could escape.
By the Milky Way, ten grand statues were cracking and collapsing.
Like the last pillar of the boundary falling, the dull sound was like a blow to everyone's heart, causing a shiver throughout the body.
The boundless darkness enveloped the entire world, a dense gloom shrouded the hearts of all boundary creatures.
On the Black Earth Land, Bai Li Zhong Hu still stood with a blood blade, looking into the distance, his eyes still showing the look of his fall.
At this moment, beams of light rose from the Black Earth Land, the space passages were beginning to twist, the warriors of the Bai Li clan were shouting on the battle realm ship: "Fellow Daoists, hurry!!!"
"Escape!!!"
Various ancestors surged in madly, they were the ones who stayed in the boundary to nurture disciples, it was best for the younger generation to leave at the Elemental Infant phase, so they would have a better chance of survival in the grand world.
Especially the ancestors of the ancient forces, none of them went out, their eyes were filled with gloom, remembering the ancestral teachings from countless years ago: Do not leave the boundary, do not pave the way...
Yu Chen stood in the space passage, his eyes swelling, his lips bitten until they bled.
He wanted to settle for a few more years before leaving, but he didn't expect such a great calamity to occur in the boundary!
Yu Chen looked around, surrounded by the strong of the Yu family stabilizing the space passage.
They had already given up hope for life, especially the two ancestors who said nothing more than one word: escape!
"Ancestor!!!"
Yu Chen panted heavily, tears unknowingly streaming down, beside him stood Yu Yiwei, Uncle Chu, and others, all pale, shedding tears of blood.
"Haha, it's okay, there will always be such a day, either destroyed by Filthy Longevity or by those absolute strong ones."
The ancestor of the Yu family laughed heartily, echoing in all directions, "But the path is open, at least you can still live, not completely wiped out by Filthy Longevity, go with peace, we will protect you one last time!"
"Indeed!"
"Exactly!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yu speaks clearly!"
...
The laughter of various ancestors echoed, they cupped their hands to each other, quite carefree, without a trace of fear, having experienced the boundary wars, they were not comparable to ordinary cultivators.
Now the destructive force of the boundary was erupting deeper and deeper, their eyes still fearless, all frantically unleashing their power, stabilizing the space passage!
