Chapter 1037 Candlelight in the Shadow

The secret realm of Jieyuan, located in the East Demon Yu, is famous for its great help to Yun Shen in shaping his new world.

Its location is located in the Jieyuan Arakawa, seven thousand miles away, to the north of the Lan family's land.

From the outside, this Arakawa appears to be barren and dangerous, filled with ferocious beasts and filled with poisonous miasma. There is also an astonishingly powerful seal that blocks all attempts to break in.

If there is a strong person who can forcefully break the seal and break in with his own strength, it will be useless.

Because without the Lan family's token that Emperor Mingyan personally forged, and with a cultivation level below the Emperor's level, it would be impossible to see through the essence here, and would only get trapped in the barren mountains and harsh waters, with nothing to gain.

But if he holds the token of the Lan family, the moment he walks into the Kaigen Arakawa, everything he sees will be completely reversed.

What he saw was no longer barren mountains and rivers, no longer filled with ferocious beasts, no longer rising poisonous miasma, but a huge basin.

In the center of the basin, erect something!

This object is astonishingly huge, almost ten thousand feet high, and is in the shape of a strip. There are also a large number of runes carved on it.

Anyone who sees this thing for the first time will definitely have a roaring heart and endless waves.

Because, this is a jade slip!

To be precise, this is an ancient photographic jade slip.

I don't know who its owner is, but judging from the size of this jade slip, its owner must be terrifying.

As for its origin, according to the records of the Magic Feather Holy Land, it was during the time of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou. It came from outside the world, fell into the Moyu Clan at that time, and was then borrowed by the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou.

It was not until many years later that, with the help of the then emperor of the Demon Feather Clan, and with countless military exploits, the jade was finally brought back from the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou.

Later, this jade slip became a sacred object of the Demon Feather Clan.

Until the arrival of the remnant face, the Demon Feather Clan left with the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou and built their own holy land outside the sky. After several twists and turns, this place was exclusively owned by Emperor Mingyan.

In the end, it became the property of the Lan family.

What's strange about it is the photographic scene imprinted inside it.

Holding the Lan family's token and stepping into this jade slip can make people go from reality to fantasy, from the real world to the part of the photo.

As for the specifics of that photo shoot...

Some call it Creation.

For many years, this secret realm has been controlled by the Lan family. If outsiders want to enter, they have to pay a high price, and whether they can finally succeed depends on the mood of the Lan family.

If the Lan family is unwilling, no matter how high the price is, it will be useless.

But at this moment, outside the Jieyuan Huangchuan where everything was full of barren mountains and rivers, Xu Qing's figure suddenly approached amid the roar, until he paused in mid-air and looked down.

This place is sparsely populated and unguarded.

After all, not many people are qualified to enter this secret realm, and the strangeness here does not require guarding.

After a few breaths, a faint light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He raised his hand and took out the token given by the empress. Without any hesitation, he walked towards the Arakawa River below.

It's like walking through a layer of water curtain, filtering out mountains, rivers, ferocious beasts, and poisonous miasma.

The next moment, the huge basin and the astonishing vast number of jade slips in it appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.

【Go into the photo. 】

Xu Qing stared at the majestic jade slip, feeling the ancient atmosphere and vicissitudes of life on it, and finally his eyes fell below.

[Nearly 30% of this jade slip is buried in the ground, and only about 70% is exposed. 】

[What kind of existence needs such a large jade slip? 】

[What kind of existence can take a photo of creation? 】

Xu Qing's eyes showed a hint of expectation. Although he roughly knew this secret realm in Xue Chenzi's memory, he had not seen it with his own eyes after all.

Although he has experienced many secret realms in his life, they are just like before his eyes.

This is the first time for such a secret realm.

So after making sure that the surroundings were clear and that the huge jade slip in front of him was functioning normally, Xu Qing did not hesitate, held the token, and went straight to the jade slip.

The moment approached, without any pause, the moment it touched the huge jade slip, its figure suddenly disappeared.

It is not integrated into the jade slip, but seems to be erased.

In a strange way, he disappeared from the world!

When he showed up, he was already in the photo!

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Xu Qing appeared in the photo, and the waves in his mind could no longer calm down, and suddenly surged.

【This is. 】

Xu Qing's breath was stagnant.

For the well-informed Xu Qing, this would not have been the case, but the scene he saw at this moment was really shocking.

This is nothingness!

In the depths of nothingness, Xu Qing saw a huge candle. The candle is red and burning.

As it burns, the flames of the candle shine in all directions, causing the entire void to flicker, and in the uncertainty of light and darkness in the halo, there are countless stars and countless worlds being formed from the gathering of dust.

Too many to count.

Only the periphery of the halo can be seen. Those stars and worlds all completed the process of gathering out of dust in an instant, and then seemed to collapse to the extreme in the next moment and re-formed.

Dust is scattered in all directions.

In this process, as the world and stars were formed, countless rules and laws were born within, and then destroyed and merged into dust.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

Just by Xu Qing's glance, at least hundreds of thousands of worlds appeared and were destroyed.

But only limited to the periphery of the halo.

The closer you are to the red candle, the slower the speed of the stars and worlds formed within it, and the slow formation makes the destruction equally slow.

Therefore, when Xu Qing looked at the place where the red candle was close to the candle flame, he could see many nearly complete stars.

【This scene. 】

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He didn't know if this was the real creation of the world, but he could clearly feel at this moment that the scene in this photo was filled with a strong atmosphere of the world.

Rules, laws, origins, everything, can be seen everywhere here.

【But it is illusory. 】

Xu Qing glanced at all the murmurs.

But he knew very well that even though they were all illusions, and even though he himself had now entered an illusion, for monk Yunshen, this place would be an unparalleled place of enlightenment.

[But there are dangers. 】

Xu Qing's divine knowledge spread and enveloped all directions. His body swayed and he moved forward cautiously.

According to Xue Chenzi's memory, the place where the canyon where his destiny changed was a star in the middle of the candlelight halo.

Xu Qing was not sure whether the star had collapsed into dust after these few months had passed.

So he didn't waste time at this moment and rushed away in this photo world.

As he approached the halo, Xu Qing felt a sense of heat. It was the heat wave caused by the burning of the red candle in the distance. He also felt countless rules and laws within it.

The rudimentary changes of the rule.

And along the way, he carefully avoided the collapsing worlds and kept getting closer to his destination.

Until half an hour passed, Xu Qing finally saw the star in Xue Chenzi's memory from a distance.

This star is in the process of collapse.

However, because of the area where it is located and the flow of time is relatively slow, it did not completely collapse at this moment, but only half of it collapsed.

Although it is dangerous to get close, at least there is hope.

Seeing this, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go, but the next moment his face darkened, and his right hand suddenly raised and he grabbed hard at his side.

A cold feeling swept across his palm.

Nothing at all.

Xu Qing's eyes were filled with traces of authority as he stared in all directions, and the information about a dangerous thing that existed in the secret realm of the World Source emerged in Xue Chenzi's memory.

It is a strange existence.

Their specific forms and specific quantities are unknown to Xue Chenzi.

He just knows that although this kind of existence cannot be seen, when he gets close, he can sense the coolness due to the heat contained here.

Thereby sensing.

Although he doesn't know their true form, he knows their origins.

These strange shades were once monks.

This is about another kind of danger in this secret place.

That's assimilation.

If you stay in this photo world for a long time, or if you are too close to the red candle in the center, there is a certain chance of being assimilated here.

After assimilation, the monk is erased and becomes an unknown form, and is forever trapped in this illusory shadow, unable to enter the real world.

Although most of the monks who came here knew about it in advance, as time passed, some people were eventually assimilated and stayed here for various reasons.

As for their erased form, whether it is the state of souls or other levels, the Emperor may know this, but Xue Chenzi obviously does not.

So Xu Qing glanced around with cold eyes, then his body roared, and his blood spread. The specialness of his body made him confident that these strange beings could not contaminate him.

So after looking around, Xu Qing continued to gallop, getting closer and closer to the collapsing star.

Soon, at the approaching moment, Xu Qing took a step forward and stepped directly on the star.

The moment it fell, the heat disappeared instantly, and the endless coldness spread from all directions.

Although what he saw was empty, Xu Qing could faintly sense that there were countless strange things around him!

This is a star filled with that kind of strange existence!

At the same time, outside the secret realm of the world source, in the west of East Demon Yu, within the territory of West Demon Yu, the sacred platform like wings was shining brightly at this moment.

In the middle of the Taoist platform, at the highest point, on an octagonal altar, a figure sat cross-legged.

Its body is blurry and cannot be seen in detail, only its outline can be seen.

Although it was an outline, the fluctuations coming from this person and the indescribable terrifying aura made all those who came here to see him tremble and dare not look directly.

This is the case for the Lord of the Western Demonic Feather who is kneeling and worshiping beside the altar.

He was shaking uncontrollably and spoke in a low voice.

[Emperor, during this period, we have searched all areas in the entire Holy Land, except for the retreat place of Emperor Mingyan, but we have not found what you mentioned anywhere else. 】

Emperor Demon Feather was silent.

The kneeling master waited for a long time, then stood up and respectfully left.

After a long time, the deep voice of Emperor Demon Feather came from the silent altar.

【Does this thing really exist? 】

As his words echoed, the sound of iron chains sounded above the altar, and a black-robed figure hung down from the void.

The man in black robes was bound by iron chains and was corroding his body, but there was nothing unusual about this man in black robes. He seemed not to care and spoke calmly.

[I told you earlier that this wishing face has its own spiritual wisdom. It is never found by others, but by it to find the right one. 】

[If it doesn’t want you to find it, with your cultivation level, you won’t be able to see it even if it appears in front of you. 】

[And you have been searching for so long and still haven't found it, which is enough to show that... you, the Demon Feather Emperor, are not a suitable person. 】
