Chapter 505: Infinite Transformations World Guarding Formation
"What are they talking about?" Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder as he watched the two.
At the same time, he pondered everything he heard.
’I don’t understand it but this seems like a memory from my and Nianzhen’s past life.’ He thought and frowned.
However, he didn’t have time to dwell on it because the two were still talking.
"Before we leave, a lot of things need to be done.’ Jiang Yue said.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded and frowned before he continued.
"We need to stop the internal strife in our Cangxing world, seal the foreign devils’ battlefield, weaken Siwang, and repel the space beasts. Only after doing all these can we repair the world boundary."
"With everyone’s power, we can protect the Cangxing world for one million years. After that..." Jiang Yue sighed.
"If everything goes well, our souls will reincarnate in another realm. When the time comes, we will return to the Cangxing world and this time, our cultivation will not face a dead end." Yu Nianzhen said.
Hearing this, the eavesdropping Jiang Yue couldn’t help but be shocked.
’Does this mean that Earth isn’t in the Ten Thousand Worlds realm? Most importantly, was our death and transmigration related to our past selves?’ Jiang Yue wondered.
’Siwang? Isn’t that the leader of the Death Flower Ascension Front? Did she exist in our past life?’
Although Jiang Yue gained some insights, the conversation made him very confused.
"Stopping the internal strife and sealing the foreign devils’ battlefield isn’t too difficult. However, weakening Siwang and dealing with space beasts isn’t easy." The past Jiang Yue said.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen nodded and spoke.
"Even with our strength, we are useless against Siwang. The only thing we can do is create an opportunity for old man Cang and the divine beasts."
"As for the space beasts, let’s kill as many as we can. When the time comes, we will seal the rest and repair the world boundary."
After that, the present Jiang Yue followed the two to different parts of the Cangxing world.
Over the next few years, he watched them kill evil cultivators and beasts who were causing chaos in the Cangxing world.
After the Cangxing world regained some semblance of peace, the two went to the foreign devils’ battlefield and cooperated with others to separate the battlefield from the mainland of the Cangxing world.
However, when they were still sealing the battlefield, the two received a message that Siwang and old man Cang were fighting.
Since the battlefield was almost sealed, the two left the rest to their allies and rushed to old man Cang’s side.
Unfortunately, everything was already too late.
By the time they arrived, old man Cang was heavily injured and the guardian divine beasts of the Cangxing world were only a breath away from death.
Fortunately, Siwang was also heavily injured and she escaped into the void.
"Old man Cang, our only choice is to take everyone to activate the Infinite Transformations World Guarding formation." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue nodded.
Seeing their resolve, the old man sighed and his eyes filled with sorrow.
"It’s indeed the only way." Old man Cang said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen looked at each other.
"Old man Cang, there is another thing." Jiang Yue said.
"Say." The old man urged.
"Please look at this." Jiang Yue said and handed a jade tablet to the old man.
"This is our plan."
After taking the tablet, the old man took a moment to understand the content.
Soon after, he looked at the two and sighed again.
"When the time comes, will you help us?" Jiang Yue asked.
"You should know there is only one chance for this plan to succeed. If you fail, your souls will enter mortal reincarnation and there is no telling what will happen." Old man Cang warned.
"We know." Jiang Yue said and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
Seeing the look, the swordsman nodded.
"In that case, I will wait for you." Old man Cang said.
After that, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue hunted space beasts and sealed many areas in the Cangxing world.
At the same time, they recruited allies.
One hundred years later, thousands of high-realm cultivators gathered at the centre of the Cangxing world.
"Is everyone ready?" Jiang Yue asked.
"We are ready." The thousands of cultivators said in a loud voice.
"Good." Yu Nianzhen said and showed an uncharacteristic smile.
"Let’s meet again in one million years." He said.
Soon after, the people moved around and stood at seemingly random places.
However, from where Jiang Yue was observing, he could tell the people were standing in a formation.
"Is this the so-called Infinite Transformations World Guarding Formation?" He wondered with a solemn look in his eyes.
’I haven’t encountered such a formation in my inheritance. Its level should be quite high.’ He thought.
"Azhen, see you soon." The past Jiang Yue said.
"See you soon." Yu Nianzhen said and smiled at his lover.
A moment later, everyone was engulfed in a golden light and the lights flew into the void.
Simultaneously, the present Jiang Yue followed his past self.
"Where..." He started but couldn’t finish his words.
Instead, a painful cry tore out of his throat and hot tears streamed down his cheeks.
’What is this?’ Jiang Yue couldn’t help but panic.
For some reason, his soul was on fire.
The burning was worse than any pain he had ever encountered and for the first time in his life, Jiang Yue had the thought of dying.
Unfortunately, the burning was just the beginning.
Before he could get used to the burning, sharp knives pierced his soul and began to saw.
In the blink of an eye, ugly cuts appeared on him and his soul began to dim.
"I want to die." He cried in a choked voice.
Simultaneously, he tried to explode himself but soon realised that he couldn’t do it.
Realising this, Jiang Yue laughed crazily.
"Why? Why do I have to suffer like this?" He screamed angrily and helplessly.
"Why?"
"Azhen..."
"Where are you?"
"Save me quickly."
"Azhen, I am in so much pain." He whispered in a crying voice.
Unfortunately, no matter how he screamed, his lover didn’t appear.
"Golden teleportation talisman." He suddenly remembered and immediately activated the talisman.
However, when he looked around, he found he was still in the same dark void.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue laughed and cried.
"Why? How can it fail?" He screamed helplessly.
"I want to die." He said and his eyes dulled.
.....
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen was also experiencing a disaster.
When he stepped onto the first stair, he was also transported into a memory.
If Jiang Yue was there, he would recognise it as the same memory he was transported into.
However, there was a little difference in their memories.
When Jiang Yue observed the memory, he saw it from the perspective of his past self.
This meant that when the past Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen separated, he usually followed the past Jiang Yue.
In the same way, Yu Nianzhen usually followed the past Yu Nianzhen.
Other than this difference, the two people experienced the exact same thing.
When the Infinite Transformations World Guarding Formation was activated, Yu Nianzhen followed his past self.
However, his end result was the same as Jiang Yue’s.
As soon as he entered the void, his soul was severely tortured.
Fortunately, Yu Nianzhen had experienced more pain than Jiang Yue along his cultivation path.
Because of this, he was able to quickly disassociate which helped him regain a trace of reason.
’The Infinite Transformations World Guarding Formation is a sacrificial formation.’ He recalled what he learned when he was following his past self.
’It sacrifices the cultivation, bodies, and souls of everyone in the formation.’ He remembered.
"As long as I maintain my soul for one million years, I will be able to reincarnate in another realm." He said but couldn’t help but frown in worry.
He and Jiang Yue entered the same trial grounds.
Although Yu Nianzhen wasn’t sure, he suspected he and Jiang Yue were facing similar trials.
When he thought that Jiang Yue was also being tortured, Yu Nianzhen felt more pain than the pain of having his soul burned and cut.
’XiaoYue, you have to hold on.’ He thought with a painful look in his eyes.
’XiaoYue, I believe in you and I believe we will meet again.’
After that, Yu Nianzhen recalled everything he saw in the memory.
In the years he followed the past Yu Nianzhen, he observed the person’s swordsmanship.
Compared to his current self, the past Yu Nianzhen was an insurmountable mountain.
’I will comprehend the moves and arts I saw him use. Hopefully, it will distract me from the pain of having my soul burned and cut.’ He thought and took a deep breath.
However, no matter how he focused on comprehending the sword arts, soul torture was not something he could easily ignore.
Before long, Yu Nianzhen was forcibly suppressing his screams and his eyes were filled with involuntary mist.
