Chapter 572
by fanqienovelChapter 572: The Heavenly Book Appears
Boom!
The vital energy surged backward. The Divine Mountain collapsed. The portal to the Dao Clan’s ancestral land slowly closed.
Beams of light escaped the ancestral land like flashes of light in the nick of time. But some, having ventured too deep, were too slow to flee. In the terrifying power of chaotic energy flows, they were ripped apart into pieces and reduced to nourishment for the Primordial Qi.
Outside the ancestral land, Celestial Lords and Great Celestial Lords also sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations. Flying out from Dao Yuan Palace, they fixed their gaze intently on every movement within the ancestral land.
Beneath the sky, the thick fog over the ancestral land began to dissipate, and everything within became transparent.
Everyone raised their heads to look at the ancestral land, their minds reeling.
"It has begun."
Luo Qingcheng and Luo Qinchuan looked joyful and excited. The moment Luo Qianchen stepped onto the altar, it signified she would fuse with the Primordial Qi, reaching an unprecedented level.
"Is this the Dao Clan’s purpose?" Yuanfeng gazed at the altar within the ancestral land, her expression grave. "Mobilizing the entire clan to nurture one junior, helping her master the Heavenly Book?"
"Most likely."
A Great Celestial Lord nodded.
This was Bei Di Xuanwu. He stooped as if aged, yet his aura was profound, long, and immeasurably strong.
"The Reincarnation Heavenly Book should manifest today."
The ancestral dragon solemnly stated.
Clearly, the ancestral dragon wasn’t the only one to suspect this.
Celestial Lord Linglong, the Eternal Celestial Lord, and others also gazed upon the scene with profound smiles.
"This time, things are truly going to get lively…" The Eternal Celestial Lord thought inwardly.
At the same time.
Ye Li and the others flew out of the ancestral land, landing beside Mu Fanyin.
"Honored Senior."
Li Ruoyu addressed her respectfully.
Mu Fanyin gave a slight nod and looked at Ye Li. "Did you see people of the Haotian lineage?"
"How did you know?"
Ye Li asked, astonished.
"People from the Haotian lineage are truly in the ancestral lands. They likely wouldn’t miss this opportunity." Mu Fanyin smiled. "They are certain to seize this chance to reveal themselves."
Ye Li nodded, then tearfully complained, "Honored Senior, within the ancestral lands, I accidentally… killed one of the Haotian lineage’s disciples. She swore to make me die without an unmarked grave once I left the ancestral land."
"Honored Senior, save me!"
Mu Fanyin snorted lightly and ignored him.
"She’s about to become a Celestial Lord!"
At that moment, someone cried out in shock, drawing everyone’s attention back to Luo Qianchen.
Luo Qianchen was enveloped by the formless Primordial Qi, madly absorbing its essence. Her cultivation level visibly soared at breakneck speed.
It was only during the time that Ye Li and the others had left the ancestral land that Luo Qianchen had advanced to the Five Tribulations Dao Sovereign, with no signs of stopping at all.
"Senior, the Ninth Young Master’s advance to Celestial Lord would surely trigger the appearance of the Heaven Book," Li Ruoyu’s voice paused slightly, then he continued, "Is Heaven’s Secret Pavilion going to stand by idly?"
"Do you want it?" Mu Fanyin said lightly.
Li Ruoyu silently cursed; he wasn’t an idiot, and if he had a chance to seize the Heaven Book, he would never give it up.
"Daoist brother, the Dao Clan dared to summon heroes from across the world to attend the ceremony, clearly not fearing that anyone would make a move to seize the Heaven Book," Dao Sovereign Qingyuan said slowly.
Ye Li said, "Even Dao Sovereign Qingyuan understood this principle, but you do not."
"Li Ruoyu, you’ve been blinded by greed."
Li Ruoyu flushed with shame.
Swish!
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the horizon; Feng Suiyuan arrived gracefully and landed in the camp of the Nine Great Celestial Lords.
"Uncle Master!" As Feng Suiyuan arrived, many young masters bowed in greeting.
"Daoist brother." The various Celestial Lords also paid their respects.
Everyone’s expressions turned grave; they all understood that this was the moment that decided fate.
Under the pressure of the Dao Clan, would Feng Suiyuan dare to make a move?
Everyone was curious.
The Eldest Young Master had a refined and gentle temperament; he quietly watched Luo Qianchen in the ancestral land, his eyes clear yet occasionally glimmering, and no one knew what he felt.
"She is about to break through!" The Second Young Master’s pupils contracted.
"Qingcheng," Luo Qinchuan called out.
"Your disciple is here."
"Make ready," Luo Qinchuan laughed lightly, "Our clan has not entered the world for a long time. Today, since we are entering, we must let the world see the foundation of our clan."
Luo Qinchuan laughed boldly. Today, they would execute a Great Celestial Lord and announce to the world that the Dao Clan had entered the fray.
"Yes." Luo Qingcheng’s figure flickered and she flew into the Dao Yuan Palace.
Boom!
In the ancestral land, the primordial energy was nearly exhausted; that formless light was being constantly refined by Luo Qianchen, her cultivation already having entered the Celestial Lord Realm.
"Is this the Celestial Lord Realm?" Luo Qianchen murmured.
She sensed the fluctuations of Qi and the sublimation of the Great Dao. Within the Reincarnation Dao world, she was the Sovereign of all. In that moment, she was like the Heavenly Dao, controlling the fate of all living things.
A single thought brought Change of the World.
Within her domain, she was the Heavenly Dao.
"This strand of Primordial Qi, after enduring eight epochs… I will still need a long time to thoroughly refine and fuse with it," Luo Qianchen thought inwardly.
She hadn’t fully refined the Primordial Qi.
Yet, even so, she had managed to ascend to the Celestial Lord Realm with its power. This showed just how profound the heritage left by the Dao Clan’s ancestors truly was.
"By now, surely I should be able to sense the Reincarnation Heavenly Book?"
Luo Qianchen’s expression shifted slightly.
Having cultivated to the Celestial Lord Realm, her connection to the Reincarnation Heavenly Book grew clearer and clearer. She could sense an intangible link, like a thread binding her to the book.
Luo Qianchen hesitated not even for a moment.
She chose to summon the Reincarnation Heavenly Book.
One general’s rise is built on thousands of bones.
Any tribulation was merely training.
Luo Qianchen closed her eyes.
Her thoughts poured into the Vast Time and Space, imbued with the primordial sources of the Reincarnation Dao, following that intangible thread to sense the Reincarnation Heavenly Book.
"Daoist friends, the Reincarnation Heavenly Book is about to manifest!"
The pupils of the onlookers contracted.
"Look! Luo Qianchen is emerging!"
Moving according to her will, Luo Qianchen’s figure drifted out from the Dao Clan’s ancestral land.
"Why is she coming out?" Li Ruoyu asked, perplexed.
The Dao Clan’s ancestral land was sealed, capable of sealing the heavens and locking the earth. Not even the aura of a Celestial Lord could linger there. It was an absolute sanctuary. For Luo Qianchen to leave it now was immensely dangerous.
"Because," Mu Fanyin stated, "the origins of the Dao Clan’s ancestral land lie even deeper than the Heavenly Book."
"However," she continued, "this lass has refined the Primordial Qi enough to enter or leave the ancestral land at will. Her purpose in stepping out is quite deliberate."
"She wants the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall dead."
Ye Li’s heart jolted in surprise.
Mu Fanyin smiled.
Whether the Hall Master intended to devour Luo Qianchen after she became a Celestial Lord or not, she remained his chess piece. How could such an arrogant person ever be content with being someone else’s pawn?
Therefore, the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall had to die.
The appearance of the Reincarnation Heavenly Book provided Luo Qianchen with the perfect, logical justification to eliminate him.
She intended to become the player.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Qianchen flew out from the ancestral land.
She floated in mid-air, her sleeves fluttering like a goddess descending from the heavens, ethereal as an immortal.
All eyes were fixed intently upon her.
Boom!
An immeasurable time later.
Suddenly, a vast, profoundly mysterious aura began to slowly envelop the Qilin Mountain Range. Within a radius of countless millions of miles, the land and sky turned murky and strange.
Space folded layer upon layer, rippling like a thousand-petal lotus.
The minds of those present became unsettled and hazy.
"The Heavenly Book is descending."
Everyone held their breath, waiting silently to witness this historic moment.
Legends of the Heavenly Book had existed since ancient times.
Yet, those who had seen it were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
The observers released their Divine Senses.
In that instant, their thoughts touched upon that ineffably profound power. It was as if they themselves had fallen into reincarnation; endless images flooded their minds.
"It’s the Heavenly Book!"
Simultaneously.
High in the heavens, the outline of a blurred, ancient tome gradually materialized.
It seemed to transcend both time and space, not truly belonging to this world.
As time passed slowly.
The outline of the Heavenly Book gradually grew distinct.
"It resides in the past!" The words, spoken as if waking from a dream.
The Heavenly Book was in the past.
