Time was like fine sand between one's fingers, disappearing unknowingly.
In the ancient Saint's battlefield, Cheng Hao and Lin Xi had been in seclusion for two years. No one disturbed them and they enjoyed a rare period of peace.
In the past two years, Cheng Hao had inscribed over a thousand main Dao inscriptions on the pagoda. As for some of the densely packed tiny Dao inscriptions, there were over ten thousand of them. The simple and mysterious Dao inscriptions covered every corner of the thirty-three-story pagoda, causing the entire pagoda to look extraordinary at a glance.
"Go!"
Cheng Hao raised his hand and pointed. A golden brilliance flickered out of the Sea of Bitterness and turned into a thirty-three-story pagoda. An invisible suppressive force spread out. The space seemed to be unable to withstand this force and collapsed in large areas.
Buzz!
The pagoda hovered slightly above Cheng Hao's head for a moment. Then, it tore through the void in the direction of his finger and moved horizontally. Wherever it passed, the void shattered. The broken weapons and fragments in the Saint's battlefield turned into ashes and dissipated in the void.
"Your pagoda's power is comparable to an ordinary Saint Weapon …" Lin Xi's figure strolled over. She looked at the ancient pagoda hovering above Cheng Hao's head with a hint of doubt on her face. "Where did you see these Dao patterns? They seem extraordinary. There are no divine materials in your pagoda. It's all thanks to the Dao patterns that it has such power. If you can comprehend all of these Dao patterns, it's not impossible for you to become an Emperor in the future! "
"Hehe, I don't remember where I saw them. These Dao patterns seem to have always existed in my mind. If you think they're useful, you can imprint them and keep them for later comprehension." Cheng Hao was faintly pleased that he could finally show off his skills in front of Lin Xi.
"Alright!"
Lin Xi nodded and did not exchange pleasantries. She stared unblinkingly at the pagoda above Cheng Hao's head as if she wanted to imprint the Dao patterns on the pagoda in her mind.
This time, it took a full month before Lin Xi stood up with an exhausted expression. It was obvious that she had used up a lot of energy to imprint the Dao patterns in her mind.
"Are you done?" Cheng Hao asked with a smile.
"Mm!" Lin Xi nodded with a pale face. Then, she let out a long sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
"Cheng Hao, I have seen some Dao patterns of the Great Ancient Emperors. However, the Dao patterns carved on your pagoda are much more complicated and mysterious than the Emperors' Dao patterns. If you can comprehend all of them in the future, you may have the hope of becoming an Immortal in the future!"
"Maybe!" Cheng Hao smiled noncommittally. It was extremely difficult to become an Immortal in this world. However, he could travel through the Myriad Heavens. As long as he did not die along the way, becoming an Immortal should not be too difficult for him.
"Should I go to the other end of the teleportation through the ancient teleportation platform?" There were only three days left until the three-year deadline of the Great Escape Mission. After three days, he would be able to return to the Origin World. Without the sense of crisis, Cheng Hao began to think about the teleportation formation.
He wanted to see what was on the other end of the ancient teleportation formation and whether there were any treasures left behind.
.....
Buzz!
The ancient teleportation platform shone brightly. Cheng Hao and Lin Xi stood on the platform and activated the teleportation. A pitch-black gate opened and the two of them stepped into the pitch-black hole.
In the quiet, pitch-black void, Cheng Hao once again experienced the feeling of an instant turning into eternity. Then, a flash of light appeared in their eyes and a repulsive force surged out, throwing them out of the teleportation passageway.
"Is this the other end of the teleportation formation?"
Walking out of the gate of the teleportation formation, Cheng Hao looked at the brand-new world in front of him and pondered.
This was a dead planet. In his Divine Thought, half of the planet had been shrouded in endless Death Qi. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was almost cut off. Apart from a few hundred miles in the easternmost part of the planet that still had some vitality, the entire planet was almost completely dead.
"This may be the hometown of a Saint. However, too much time has passed and even the planet has died." After looking at the surrounding environment, Lin Xi made her own judgment.
As they spoke, the two of them moved rapidly. They passed through the mountains of death and arrived at the eastern region that still had some vitality.
Although this region was only a few hundred miles in diameter, it was completely different from the dead planet. There were birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Trees, rivers, and flowers were everywhere. There was even a hot spring in the valley. It was full of vitality, like a paradise.
This was the final source of life!
At the very center of this source of life was a huge altar made of Profound Jade. The inscriptions of the teleportation formation on the altar had already been wiped away by the power of time. All that was left was the slightly stiff body of an old man sitting there with his legs crossed.
This was a white-haired old man. He wore ancient Daoist robes, and his face was covered in wrinkles. His hair was as white as snow, and his eyes were grey. Strands of life essence emanated from his body, fusing into the area within a radius of 50 kilometers, causing the area to be constantly filled with vitality.
"This should be an extremely powerful Saint. It's very likely that he's already surpassed Saints. Even though his life has been exhausted and his soul has already dispersed, his body hasn't decayed. His essence of life still hasn't completely dispersed after countless years."
After observing the old man on the altar and discovering that he no longer had the presence of a soul, Lin Xi made her judgment.
Cheng Hao nodded noncommittally in response to Lin Xi's words. Afterwards, he made his way to the altar thoughtfully. With a wave of his hand, a dark golden sarira that radiated with a warm presence of light appeared in his hand.
Under Lin Xi's surprised gaze, Cheng Hao placed the sarira into the old man's slightly open mouth.
Splash!
The sound of flowing water rang out. As the sarira was placed in his mouth, endless life force poured into the body of the ancient saint from the sarira, turning into a sea of essence. The old man, who had been dead for a long time, immediately became full of vitality. He looked very much alive.
"Cheng Hao, his soul has already been destroyed. He won't be able to be revived even if you do this!" Lin Xi was rather confused by Cheng Hao's intentions, so she gently reminded him.
"I have no intention of reviving him!" Cheng Hao chuckled. "With this sarira as the source of energy, the essence of the old man can last for another ten thousand years at the very least. In other words, the source of life within several hundred kilometers can last for another ten thousand years."
As he spoke, two stone balls, one black and one white, appeared in Cheng Hao's hands. He then took a step forward and directly arrived at the small valley where the deathly aura and vitality intersected. He struck out with his palm, creating a huge pit that was over a hundred meters deep in the ground.
With a thought, the remains of the Saints who had been dead for a long time in his Inner World flew out and floated in the air. Cheng Hao buried them in the huge pit according to the pattern of the Taiji Yinyang Fish.
"Today, I've planted a pile of Saints. In the future, I'll obtain a Taiji Goddemon Diagram!"
