Chapter 300: One of the Strongest Defenses in the Immortal World! Immortal Gate, Soul Possession, Si
Chapter 300: One of the Strongest Defenses in the Immortal World! Immortal Gate, Soul Possession, Sigh... (Part 2)
It's too terrifying!
"What exactly is this...?"
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, San Ye was no longer trembling.
As the seal was completed, San Ye's divine soul began to slowly heal, but his condition remained poor.
At the same time, he unexpectedly conveyed a message through his divine consciousness to everyone: "Don't go."
"What do you mean, don't go?" Jianzi was startled.
"The Sword Qi Great Wall..."
"Don't go."
"Why?" Li Chunge's eyebrows rose, "What do you know?"
"I don't know."
San Ye's trembling completely subsided, but he still couldn't calm down. He said, "My subconscious is telling me that I can't go."
"Otherwise..."
Silence.
The crowd was puzzled.
Compared to their group, San Ye himself was even more confused.
He had no idea what had happened.
He didn't know why he suddenly saw those images, nor did he know why his divine soul suddenly had a problem, as if something was about to emerge.
But...
How is that possible?
That was his own divine soul.
How could there be something else hidden within the divine soul?
This is unrealistic and very abnormal.
So, where exactly is the problem? At the same time, he also didn't know why he said 'don't go'.
Why can't we go?
If we go, what will happen?
I don't know!
I don't know at all!
But his subconscious was telling him that he couldn't go.
Moreover...
He realized that he had a hidden obsession.
That is, one day in the future, he must go to the Sword Qi Great Wall, and then...
Then what?
I don't know.
In this moment.
He felt that he seemed to remember something, but when he tried to explore and understand what he had remembered, he found that he didn't seem to remember anything.
Instead...
He had forgotten a lot.
A lot!
San Ye fell silent again.
His leaves lost their luster and even looked a bit wrinkled.
This scared Jianzi.
"San Ye, don't scare me."
"Why don't we go back first? In your current state... if the master sees you, he might kill me!"
"No, we're not going back!"
But San Ye didn't hesitate and replied, "We can't go back."
"Time is running out!"
"Time?"
Everyone was puzzled, "What time?"
San Ye was also startled.
Yes.
What time?
He was at a loss...
In the end, he could only guess, "Maybe I'm not very clear-headed right now?"
"The time I'm talking about should be... I want to quickly comprehend my own Sword Dao..."
"Hmm?"
He couldn't be sure what was going on.
All of this was too much to bear.
"Something's not right!"
Deng Ta'a frowned, "I also vaguely feel that the Great Wilderness Sword Palace has a problem. They must not have told the truth, and San Ye... I'm worried something will happen to you."
"It's worth paying attention to."
Li Chunge also felt something was amiss and said, "How about this: I and Deng Ta'a will protect your path for a while, until you comprehend the Sword Dao you encountered."
"Especially since your divine soul..."
He wanted to say more but stopped.
And Deng Ta'a also nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
"Your talent far surpasses both of us, and we also want to see how far you can go."
"As for what's deep within your divine soul, the two of us also want to see how far you can go."
"But the things deep within your divine soul, we two can't be sure, but the seal isn't very solid, afraid, can only rely on yourself."
They expressed helplessness and also some fear.
It's hard to imagine what kind of power would be hidden within someone else's divine soul, or rather, within San Ye's divine soul.
And with such strength...
Why bother?
Why bother?
...
"A time of troubles."
Lin Fan frowned.
But after a second thought, the Golden Age is a time of troubles.
What more is there to say?
But that's not right either.
"But that's not right either."
"In theory, the Golden Age should be the Golden Age of the Immortal Martial Continent, but the Immortal World... it can now be determined that it's not peaceful, and after going up, something big might happen."
Three days later, through the Sky Watching Mirror, he saw the movement within the Great Wilderness Sword Palace.
Not just Lin Fan and his group, but many others also sensed that something was amiss.
Even with heavy formations set up within the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, and even with ten Ninth Realm Sword Cultivators erasing all traces, the outside world could still sense the terrifying fluctuations and extraordinary nature of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace.
The 'Immortal Gate' had opened!
Most outsiders were clueless.
They thought that there was another Ninth Realm Perfected Existence within the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, breaking through the void and ascending to the Immortal World.
But...
No tribulation lightning was seen.
"The Immortal Gate has opened, but there's no tribulation lightning?"
"This... is strange."
"How is that possible?"
Most cultivators were bewildered.
But a small portion, especially those with strength, background, and experience, keenly sensed a possibility: "Could it be that someone from the Upper World is guiding them?"
"Does the Great Wilderness Sword Palace have such a senior from the Upper World?"
If someone from the Upper World was guiding them, there would be no need for tribulation crossing.
But the prerequisite conditions were extremely harsh, and the requirements for the guide were almost abnormal! It also required a huge cost, and the resources involved were not few.
They were guessing.
But Lin Fan was seeing it clearly.
The Supreme Elder of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace was leading a 'small world'! Or rather, a small Secret Realm.
And those Ninth Realm Sword Cultivators were hidden within the small Secret Realm.
Subsequently, they were guided by the Upper World and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they stepped into the 'Immortal Gate'.
The Great Wilderness Sword Palace Master and the high-ranking elders stood solemnly, seeing him off as he entered the Immortal Gate.
Lin Fan's eyebrows raised as he stepped into the gate, "Senior Wu, what's inside... can I take a look?"
"You can, but I can't guarantee you won't be discovered."
Aunt Wu quickly responded, "After all, I'm unaware of their strength. If it exceeds a certain limit..."
"However, they can't do anything to us, but there's a chance of exposure. Do you still want to take a look?"
Lin Fan's brows furrowed, "Then..."
"Let's not look for now."
Lin Fan had his concerns and needed to be cautious.
He couldn't afford to blindly provoke trouble.
After all, he not only represented himself but also had to be responsible for the entire Luan Yue Sect.
There were already enough troubles; if he provoked the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, or even the powers above it, that would truly be an extreme hassle.
...
Thirty-five Ninth Realm Sword Cultivators were all hidden within the small world.
The Loose Cultivators were full of anticipation.
In contrast, the Sword Palace Cultivators remained relatively calm.
This left the Loose Cultivators somewhat dissatisfied.
They muttered under their breath: Show-offs.
Even if your palace's heritage is rich and exceptional, surpassing ours by many times, how can it compare to the Sword Aura Great Wall? How can it compare to those awe-inspiring Sword Immortals?
We're all Sword Cultivators; can't we understand the reason?
Even a tiny bit of their power, exposed between their fingernails, would be enough for us to benefit from for life.
There aren't many outsiders here, and yet they're showing off and acting all high and mighty.
Pfft!
The crowd silently criticized, but they couldn't sense the situation and changes outside, so they could only wait quietly.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long.
Finally, the gateway to the small world was opened.
Streams of Immortal Qi rushed towards them.
The Immortal Qi flowed into the small world through the gateway!
In just a moment, the small world transformed into an Immortal Realm.
Whether it was the density or quality of the Immortal Qi, it far surpassed the Nine Heavens Immortal Mountain.
"Hiss!"
"It's indeed the Immortal World!"
They were delighted.
They immediately emerged from the small world.
And then...
They were stunned by the scenes before them.
What an awe-inspiring existence!
This majestic defense line stood tall in the depths of the Unmarked Starry Sky, like an eternal barrier dividing the void in two!
In front was an endless dark void.
Behind...
Countless stars shone brightly.
The Sword Aura Great Wall stretched for three hundred million li!
Even if a Ninth Realm Sword Cultivator's Divine Soul was fully unleashed, they could only probe a tiny, tiny portion, not to mention the suppression of the Divine Runes, making it even harder for them to investigate.
Standing on the wall, an ancient and weathered aura washed over them.
The bricks were covered in the marks of time, each one seemed to tell countless tales of heroism.
On the wall, the mottled sword marks crisscrossed, testifying to the battles against foreign enemies throughout the generations.
Under the dim starlight, these sword marks flickered with various colors, like the long river of history flowing slowly.
The grandeur of the Sword Aura Great Wall was awe-inspiring.
It pierced through the void, reaching into the heavens.
On the tower, a massive flag fluttered, embroidered with mysterious Divine Runes, emitting powerful Sword Aura fluctuations.
These Sword Aura fluctuations resonated with the sword marks on the wall, forming an impenetrable defense line.
On the wall, there were countless traces left by great battles.
In some places, the bricks were shattered, revealing the internal metal framework.
These were giant Divine Rune chains supporting the wall, like enormous dragons coiled around it, making it indestructible.
Bloodstains and remnants of weapons were everywhere.
Their owners might have died on the battlefield, but these traces bore witness to their bravery and fearlessness.
These Sword Cultivators stood on the wall, feeling the powerful Sword Aura fluctuations emanating from this ancient defense line, their hearts filled with respect and pride.
At the same time, they were full of anticipation and excitement.
It's incredible!
Within the Sword Aura Great Wall, they felt incredibly insignificant.
Whether it was physical insignificance or... insignificance in cultivation.
They were astonished to find that here, the things they could learn were truly countless.
They couldn't even count them.
Those mysterious Divine Runes...
With their overwhelming aura.
Even the remnants of weapons, the sword marks on the wall and in the void, and even in the dried bloodstains, there was an incredibly profound 'Sword Dao' aura lingering.
Some had already faded away over countless years, almost completely dissipated.
But even in these nearly dissipated traces, the Sword Aura, Sword Dao, and Sword Intent...
Still left them intoxicated.
Fu Hongxue couldn't help but murmur, "It's worthy of being the Sword Dao Sacred Land."
"Any place here..."
"Even the most inconspicuous sword mark, if I were to comprehend it for a year, it would be equivalent to a thousand years, or even ten thousand years of bitter cultivation in the Immortal Martial Continent!"
"Moreover, the Sword Intent here is too rich."
"I almost can't help but sit cross-legged right now, feeling like I can enter a state of enlightenment at any moment!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They couldn't contain their excitement!
They all shared this feeling.
A year for a thousand or ten thousand years would be fine.
This rich Sword Dao aura, this constant desire to enter a state of enlightenment...
Enlightenment! It's a chance encounter, not something one can seek.
How many cultivators spend their entire lives without ever experiencing enlightenment, even once? But at this moment, they realized that if they stayed in the Sword Aura Great Wall, in the first year, they would likely achieve enlightenment at least three to five times, or even thirty to fifty times!
How fast would this improvement be?!
"It's worth it!"
"We should have come!"
"To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening, to witness such an awe-inspiring Sword Dao, and even personally experience it, is enough to die without regret."
"I have no regrets about dying, but at least..." Someone objected, their eyes filled with obsession, "Let me have one moment of enlightenment."
At this moment, they were all like madmen.
A group of sword cultivators, fearless and unafraid of death.
And here...
Is the holy land of the Sword Dao! A place that drives these madmen to 'lose their minds'!
"Don't be a disgrace."
The Supreme Elder of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace sternly shouted, "There are Sword Immortals watching us from all around."
Everyone shuddered.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that indeed, there were quite a few Sword Immortals observing from both near and far.
However, they didn't make any moves, merely standing there. With their overwhelming strength, they seemed to blend seamlessly with the entire Sword Qi Great Wall, becoming a part of it. Thus, the sword cultivators hadn't noticed them.
At this moment, they hurriedly calmed their minds and bowed deeply towards the distant Sword Immortals.
"We pay our respects to the esteemed Sword Immortals."
"Thank you, esteemed Sword Immortals, slightly embarrassed): "Thank you for guarding the Immortal World."
"Thank you, esteemed Sword Immortals, for giving us this opportunity..."
"..."
They were filled with gratitude.
However...
The Sword Immortals, who had remained silent, now mostly revealed peculiar expressions.
"How marvelous."
A Sword Immortal whispered, "They actually... are thanking us."
"Hehe." Another Sword Immortal agreed, "From a certain perspective, they should indeed be grateful. If not for the Sword Qi Great Wall, how could these sword cultivators have come here and witnessed the grandeur of the holy land of the Sword Dao?"
"But..."
"What a pity."
"Alas, we are helpless too."
"If only it didn't have to come to this."
"What a pity, what a shame."
They whispered among themselves.
Then...
Most of them turned away, not even looking back.
Some Sword Immortals even quietly left, departing from this section of the wall.
The sword cultivators were stunned.
These Sword Immortals weren't going to converse with them?
Were they... looking down on them? But upon further thought, it made sense. After all, the Sword Immortals were of a higher status, why should they pay any attention to mere sword cultivators like them? Why should they even acknowledge their existence?
Suddenly, an ancient remnant soul tore through the air with astonishing speed, rushing towards them.
"Who dares?"
Fu Hongxue's face paled, and he drew his sword.
But it was too late, and he couldn't block it!
The remnant soul burst into the crowd, and in an instant, it merged with the body of a sword cultivator. His entire body began to tremble violently.
"Soul Possession?"
Everyone was terrified.
"Help!"
They were shocked and pale.
Although they were a bit dazed, they were still fellow cultivators from the Immortal Sword Continent, and at this moment, they couldn't afford to hesitate. They rushed forward to help.
However...
It was too late.
The power disparity was too great.
Even if the opponent was just a remnant soul, possessing this sword cultivator was a matter of a mere blink.
It didn't even take a breath.
Fu Hongxue and the others didn't even have time to react before the possessed sword cultivator stood up again.
Boom!
Terrifying sword intent instantly emanated from him. His eyes opened and closed, and his face changed in an instant.
Like eternal ancient ice, his aura was chilling.
"Hehehe."
"This old man..."
"Has returned!"
"This kid cultivates the Slaughter Sword Dao, which suits me perfectly. I, as the senior, will take on this responsibility without hesitation!"
"How much longer will you wait?"
Boom!
Fu Hongxue and the others were instantly shocked, their bodies covered in goosebumps.
It was at this moment.
Remnant souls burst out from the depths of the Sword Qi Great Wall, rushing towards them one after another, even competing with each other in the process!
"What?"
"Damn it!"
"Watch out!!!"
"Sword Palace!!! Ding Jinlong, you old fraud, you deceived us?!"
"You won't die a good death!"
The sword cultivators were terrified, drawing their swords and fighting desperately, but the gap was too vast. They couldn't resist at all.
In just an instant, almost all of them were possessed.
Only Fu Hongxue could barely hold on...
With her last shred of consciousness, she struggled to look at the Great Wilderness Sword Palace's Supreme Elder, Ding Jinlong, whose brows were furrowed in disappointment. She also looked at the other five Sword Palace's Ninth Stage sword cultivators who had been possessed, their auras now completely altered.
She then glanced at the possessed sword cultivators, who were already eager to start 'cultivating anew'. A bitter smile appeared on her face.
She wanted to fight with all her might.
However...
It was impossible.
Even with her foundation and fortuitous encounters, she was about to lose everything.
"Why?"
Her voice was hoarse with resentment as she asked, "Why is this happening?!"
She didn't understand.
If you harm us, so be it.
But to not even spare the Ninth Stage cultivators?
How ruthless!
Moreover, this is simply too despairing.
Hatred!
Hatred filled the heavens!
Even if you were to slaughter us, even if you were to kill us all upon entering, I wouldn't be this furious, nor would I possess such intense hatred.
But you...
"Alas."
Ding Jinlong sighed deeply, unable to meet Fu Hongxue's questioning gaze. He spoke softly, "This matter... is not within my control."
"The Sword Qi Great Wall is on the verge of collapse."
"In desperation, we had no choice but to resort to this last measure."
"Your talent and perseverance, cultivated under such 'harsh' conditions in the lower realm, have reached such heights. This proves that your talent and perseverance far surpass those of most sword cultivators in the Immortal World. You only lack some opportunities, some luck, and some resources."
"By possessing you, those who have lost their physical bodies and are now just remnant souls can quickly regain their fighting power and continue to contribute to the Sword Qi Great Wall."
"Only then can..."
"Everything is for the sake of the Immortal World."
After speaking, he slowly raised his head to look at Fu Hongxue.
But he discovered that her gaze, at some unknown moment, had completely changed.
She...
Had been possessed.
"Alas."
Ding Jinlong sighed.
