Wang Baole could no longer see what the outcome would be.
The gap in the stone door had completely closed. However, the sound that seemed like an illusion reverberated in Wang Baole's ears. At the same time, there was a strong force from outside that accompanied the sound like a hurricane, spreading in all directions and landing on the stone door.
Boom!
The moment the stone door was hit, it trembled violently, and the void within the stone door was affected as well, causing it to become unstable. It was like a raging wave that turned formless into something tangible. Cracks also appeared, causing chaos to form. With Wang Baole's current level of cultivation, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. He could only retreat quickly and leave as far as he could.
Once he left, it would be difficult to return again. Because the chaos continued, the difficulty of returning was much higher than before.
This forced Wang Baole to retreat and leave the void, the end, and this area. He returned to the core of the stone tablet boundary, which was also … the Dao Domain.
When his figure appeared in what used to be the Central Never-Ending Domain, the entire Dao Domain shook. It was as if a trace of the aura from the outside world that had wrapped around him had exploded.
Fortunately, this aura had no ill intentions and was only a trace. Although it caused the entire Dao Domain to shake, it did not last long before it returned to normal.
Even so, it still shook the hearts of all living beings in the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Laozu of the Seven Spirit Path, Laozu of the Xie Family, and the other Universe-Grades felt it more clearly. At this moment, they opened their eyes, unable to hide the shock and uncertainty in their eyes.
"Just now …" Standing in the starry sky, Wang Baole suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance. It seemed that his mind was still in front of the stone door in the void. What appeared in his mind was the scene of his senior brother, Chen Qing, being entangled by the huge blood-colored centipede and the sound that seemed like an illusion.
"It's my father." Little Missy's melancholy voice sounded in his mind. That voice was filled with longing.
Wang Baole was silent. His eyes gradually lit up, but they soon dimmed again. He knew that Little Missy's father was waiting outside the stone tablet world, but he also knew that he couldn't enter. Once he did, the stone tablet world would collapse, and this would affect Little Missy's resurrection process.
Therefore, there was a high chance that they wouldn't enter. Even if they did try to interfere with the battle between Chen Qing and the crimson centipede, they wouldn't be able to do much.
Wang Baole sighed softly. He had done his best. At this moment, he stood there in silence for a long time before he turned around, stepped into the starry sky, and returned to Zuo Dao Sacred Region.
He had seen what he needed to see.
What should be done was done.
Although Wang Baole still had some regrets in his heart, it was more of an obsession.
"The current me is still too weak!" Wang Baole muttered to himself. With a single step, he reached Mars in the solar system and returned to where his main body was. His Dharma Idol returned and his main body suddenly opened his eyes. After pondering silently for a moment, he raised his hands and continued to refine the Earth Path Seed in front of him.
Time passed slowly and the stone tablet world gradually regained its peace. Although the storm and gorgeous colors in the starry sky were still there, and basically no one below the Universe Grade could enter the starry sky, it was also because of this that peace and tranquility appeared in the stone tablet world.
As for Wang Baole, after doing everything he could, he slowly cleared his mind of distracting thoughts while refining the Earth Path Seed. This allowed the condensation of the Earth Path Seed to be about 90% complete.
Another three years passed and Wang Baole's Earth Path Seed was about 90% complete. One day, his body suddenly trembled.
It wasn't that the Earth Path Seed was completed in an instant. Instead, his heart trembled and he suddenly felt a strong sense of fear. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had penetrated his body and grabbed hold of his soul, causing Wang Baole's body to turn cold. At the same time, he jerked his head up.
At the same time, as this feeling of fear spread throughout Wang Baole's mind, a strand of spirit consciousness seemed to be transmitted from an unknown distance into the starry sky, into Zuo Dao Sacred Region, into Mars in the solar system, and into … Wang Baole's soul.
"Baole, I have failed …"
This was the beginning of this strand of spirit consciousness. The contents of this strand of spirit consciousness caused an unprecedented storm in Wang Baole's mind. This storm was so huge that it seemed to sweep across the nine heavens and nine lands. It exploded wildly in Wang Baole's heart and affected Wang Baole's soul, causing him to involuntarily feel sad.
The grief instantly covered the entire solar system, the Left Dao Holy Realm, and even further. All life forms in the area were infected by it, and they all felt a sense of sadness.
Wang Baole's body trembled. When he lifted his head to look at the starry sky, he saw that the colors in the starry sky that had been dazzling for decades were slowly dissipating. The pressure within it was also dissipating. The power that prevented life forms from entering the starry sky also collapsed at this moment.
There was also a crimson light that seemed to have appeared at the end of the galaxy. In the blink of an eye, it was like a storm, but also like a raging wave. It swept through the entire world of the stone tablets with a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. It was as if someone had put down a red gauze to cover the galaxy and did not lift it, causing the entire world of the stone tablets … to be dyed red.
The red starry sky was like blood. It seemed to represent the fall of the Senior Brother, causing all life in the Stone Tablet Boundary to feel strongly at this moment. Wang Baole wasn't the only one who felt sad. Laozu of the Seven Spirit Path, Laozu of the Xie Family, Laozu of the Stellar Luna Sect, and the Universe-Grades of the Underworld Sect were all silent.
Although they didn't feel Chen Qing's consciousness, what they saw at this moment allowed them to understand the reason.
The red starry sky was filled with boundless evil. As it rolled and twisted, it vaguely transformed into a giant centipede that roared at the entire Stone Tablet Boundary. This evil caused all life forms to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts after their sorrow and silence.
Fear towards the blood-colored starry sky.
"The world has changed …" Moonstar Laozu of the Moonstar Sect opened his eyes and muttered in front of a waterfall in the forbidden area of the back mountain.
On the Destiny Star, Heavenly Spell Esteemed Master lowered his head and sighed deeply.
Laozu of the Xie Family was silent. Then, he immediately passed down a decree. The Xie Family … the Sealing Family, no one was allowed to leave.
As for Wang Baole, he was extremely sad at this moment. He stared blankly at the blood-colored starry sky. He raised his right hand as if he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't stop his Senior Brother's consciousness from dissipating in his mind.
That wasn't the only message in the Divine Will. It was clear that Chen Qing had used the last of his strength to send out his last words before his defeat. He had told Wang Baole everything in the Divine Will, including the light and dark aspects of immortals.
At the same time, he also told Wang Baole a set of coordinates. There … was a place he prepared in advance as a gift for Wang Baole.
Obviously, he didn't want Wang Baole to suffer, so he didn't give it to him in advance. He wanted to solve it himself, but now … he didn't succeed.
Wang Baole's expression was downcast. He unconsciously lowered his raised right hand. He didn't notice that his right hand was trembling and clenching into a fist. He also didn't notice that Little Missy's figure had appeared beside him and was gently accompanying him. She heard the hoarse voice that seemed to have been rubbed out from his mouth. It was filled with indescribable sorrow.
"Senior Brother …"
Almost at the same time that Wang Baole's sorrowful voice rang out, the stone door at the end of the void of the World of Stone Steles slowly opened from the outside. Two figures walked out from within.
The person in front was a young man in a long red robe. This young man was beautiful, but there was a deep evil about him. It was as if the color on his body was the source of the crimson color in the world of the stone monument. At that moment, he smiled faintly and turned his head to the side to look at the person behind him before he said something.
"Someone is calling for you."
Following the young man's gaze … it could be seen that the person following him … was none other than Chen Qing!
However, the person was not his soul!
