Chapter 642
by fanqienovelChapter 642: Immortal Land of the Other Shore
Ding!
Congratulations, host. You successfully queried after spending eighteen quintillion Hongmeng points.
Beyond chaos, at the easternmost point of the sky, the Immortal Land of the Other Shore.
Unification of heaven and earth; myriad transformations in the mortal world; harmony of yin and yang; returning to the truth on the other shore.
One by one, characters appeared in Ye Xu’s sea of consciousness.
He counted them, a total of twenty-eight characters.
"Where is this Immortal Land of the Other Shore?" Ye Xu wondered, for he had never heard of that place.
Host, if you wish to know more, you need to add money.
"How much?"
Complete information costs seven thousand two hundred quintillion Hongmeng points.
"Can’t afford it, goodbye."
Ye Xu drew a cold breath.
The price of the Immortal Land of the Other Shore was comparable to the complete information about the Primeval Emperor.
"I’m afraid this is yet another spot tangled with worlds of the past," Ye Xu muttered to himself. Though he failed to get a specific answer from the system, he had a rough idea.
"Daoist friend," Ye Xu called out.
"Master, do you have a result?" Mo Wangshu asked eagerly.
Swish!
Ye Xu waved his sleeve, and a golden book and jade slip flew toward Mo Wangshu. He said, "The information you seek is recorded on this jade slip."
"Beyond chaos? Immortal Land of the Other Shore?"
Mo Wangshu’s brow twitched. "Is this so-called Immortal Land of the Other Shore perhaps not within the yin and yang realms, but in beyond chaos?"
Beyond chaos was a forbidden zone that emerged at the start of the creation of the yin and yang realms, evolving from primordial nothingness. It was a death zone where almost no living beings could survive.
The Chaotic Ancient God was born there.
"Master, what is the meaning of the next sixteen characters?" Mo Wangshu asked, looking confused.
"Chants."
Ye Xu said, "Once you find the Immortal Land of the Other Shore, recite the chants. The Immortal Land of the Other Shore will commune with you and guide you into its midst."
Mo Wangshu suddenly understood.
"Master, I have one more question," Mo Wangshu added. "What exactly is the Immortal Land of the Other Shore?"
"The mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed."
Ye Xu uttered in a mystical tone, "Daoist friend, you just need to know this: within the Immortal Land of the Other Shore, a great fortune exists that can free you from the chains of Dao One in the yin realm."
Mo Wangshu was baffled.
Three million billion divine stones seemed to have been wasted for nothing.
He felt uneasy about the unknown land.
After all, he had never heard of the existence of the Immortal Land of the Other Shore.
"Master…"
Mo Wangshu was about to ask again.
"A grown man fussing like an old woman…" Ye Xu said helplessly. "Mo Daoist friend, if you’re scared, just obediently return to the yin realm."
"With the protection of Dao One in the yin realm, unless the sky collapses, nothing will happen to you."
"Something is happening."
Mo Wangshu said seriously. "And it’s getting closer."
"…"
Ye Xu didn’t feel like speaking.
"I must go there anyway." Mo Wangshu said. "Otherwise, those three million billion divine stones would have been wasted for nothing. But, could you do me a favor?"
"Speak."
Ye Xu said hopelessly.
"Hoping you would make a move and send me to beyond chaos," Mo Wangshu said solemnly. "If you could accompany me on this trip, I can pay another six hundred trillion divine stones."
Swish!
Ye Xu waved his sleeve and sent him into beyond chaos, saying, "The easternmost point of the sky, the Immortal Land of the Other Shore."
"Keep heading east until you reach the edge of chaos. Recite the spell, and you’ll sense the existence of the Immortal Land of the Other Shore."
After speaking, Ye Xu let out a long sigh of relief.
"Such a fussy guy."
Ye Xu was speechless.
If he hadn’t sent Mo Wangshu away, the man could have nagged in his ear for a year.
As for six hundred trillion?
He truly didn’t care about it.
Xixi couldn’t help but laugh.
The senior actually could be put in an awkward spot.
"But the Immortal Land of the Other Shore really is mysterious. Should I send Mu Fanyin and Yu Wuxia to investigate?" a thought popped into Ye Xu’s mind.
"Forget it."
The thought emerged and was instantly dismissed by him.
His intuition told him the Immortal Land of the Other Shore must harbor a Dao One powerhouse.
Although Mu Fanyin possessed the Great Wilderness Furnace, facing a living Dao One powerhouse, she wouldn’t be a match.
"Since the system indicated the Immortal Land of the Other Shore holds great fortune, Mo Wangshu’s chance of survival should be quite high."
His heart itched unbearably.
It was hateful how weak his strength was.
“I must reach the Dao One realm as soon as possible.”
“I must make money!”
…
Beyond chaos.
A misty haze stretched endlessly.
Mo Wangshu walked upon the chaos, sensing no material presence. He was like a solitary traveler, moving eastward, anxiety brewing in his heart.
Whoosh!
Suddenly.
A formidable aura emerged. A figure shrouded in chaotic radiance appeared up ahead. The Chaotic Ancient God gazed at Mo Wangshu, frowning. “Daoist friend Chaotic, where are you bound?”
Born of the chaos itself, the Chaotic Ancient God possessed near-limitless longevity. Mo Wangshu, too, was one of the congenital beings, having crossed paths with him before.
“Daoist friend Chaotic,” Mo Wangshu replied calmly.
The chaotic forbidden zone was the Chaotic Ancient God’s domain. Passing through here would inevitably alert him.
“I’m just browsing.”
“It’s been an age since I last visited the yang realm. Reuniting on this familiar ground today, let’s have a proper conversation.”
Mo Wangshu moved towards the Chaotic Ancient God.
After three days and two nights, the Chaotic Ancient God was wearied him to no end and fled the scene.
Mo Wangshu sighed, troubled.
He continued eastward.
“This fellow possesses an utterly guileless nature,” the Chaotic Ancient God pondered, the chaos undulating around his form. His eyes, luminous as the sun and moon, watched Mo Wangshu’s retreating figure. “He always hides in the yin realm. Yet now he traverses the passage between both realms, descends into the yang realm, and appears within my chaotic forbidden zone? He must be up to something.”
“I’ll follow and see…”
The Chaotic Ancient God set off in pursuit.
Within the chaos, time’s flow was imperceptible. Mo Wangshu had no idea how long he had walked or how far he had journeyed.
On this day.
The path ahead ended.
The chaos sprawled before him, hazy as fog, misty as clouds.
Mo Wangshu pressed forward, yet it felt as if an invisible barrier impeded his steps.
“So, this is the easternmost point of the sky?” Mo Wangshu murmured to himself.
“Is the Immortal Land of the Other Shore right here?”
He muttered to himself.
"Never mind all that, I’ll just give it a try first."
Even if it wasn’t the Immortal Land of the Other Shore, reciting the incantation once wouldn’t cause him any harm.
"It’s just that the Chaotic Daoist friend is still behind me. I wonder how he’ll react when he sees this?"
The aura of the Chaotic Ancient God had remained within his perception this whole time.
But Mo Wangshu couldn’t be bothered to care.
After all,
if a real fight broke out, he wasn’t afraid of the Chaotic Ancient God.
What concerned him was the Immortal Land of the Other Shore.
"Unification of heaven and earth, transformation of the mortal world, harmony of yin and yang, (lead me to) the true essence of the Other Shore."
Mo Wangshu chanted the incantation under his breath.
"What’s he chanting?"
The Chaotic Ancient God poked his head out, his brow deeply furrowed.
"Why is this fellow spouting mystical nonsense?"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sound of the incantation echoed, the boundless chaos remained utterly still.
"Could it be the wrong place?"
Mo Wangshu was stunned.
Surely the Master wouldn’t take payment without delivering the service?
BOOM!
Suddenly, after a few moments, the chaos violently trembled.
As if obeying some unseen command, a profound light emerged from the depths of the swirling mist. The chaos itself parted like a curtain, pushed aside by an invisible force, revealing a bridge of mystic luminescence.
It seemed to be the Bridge to the Other Shore.
By stepping onto this bridge, one could reach the Other Shore.
"What is that?!"
The Chaotic Ancient God was shocked.
As the overlord of the Chaotic Forbidden Zone, having resided within the chaos itself for eight epochs, he had never witnessed such an eerie sight.
Could there truly be another world hidden within the very substance of chaos? How had he missed it all along?
