Chapter 819

In just a few moments, Shi Xuan had become an old man. His body was filled with the aura of death. The last bit of vitality was like a candle in the wind, swaying as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.

Countless illusory worlds reached their end. Earthquakes were violent, volcanoes erupted, gales raged, floods filled the sky, and countless cracks appeared on the land. There seemed to be a bottomless abyss in the depths of the sea, causing all the seawater to flow into it and disappear without a trace. In the end, continuous explosions and shattering sounds were heard, causing the nearby void universe and stars to collapse one by one, turning them into chaotic holes and space storms.

The entire Grotto-heaven universe was heading towards destruction everywhere. It was a chaotic scene of the end of the world, and there was no longer any stability.

Shi Xuan tried his best to slow down and reverse the flow of time, but the ability to control time, which he had made great progress in the past thirty-seven years, was completely useless in the face of the crazy impact of the long river of time. It was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.

Many of the Three Tribulations who did not have secret skills or secret treasures could only bitterly endure and resign themselves to fate when they reached this stage. They hoped that the last power of the Great Dao would calm down before the Grotto-heaven's lifespan was completely exhausted. Only then would there be a glimmer of hope to survive the Decline of Lifespan.

Although the difficulty of the Decline of Magic Power was higher than the Decline of Lifespan. After all, the aura of creation was much more difficult to control than the Grotto-heaven's time. However, in the eyes of many Lord Of Heaven, the former was not so dangerous, because as long as there was a trace of real aura of creation in the Primordial Spirit, even without secret treasures or secret skills, the probability of surviving the Decline of Lifespan was about 50%.

Even though the Three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven could already control the Law of Time of his Grotto-heaven, the probability of surviving the Decline of Lifespan was less than 20%, not to mention the number of secret treasures and secret skills that could be used to survive the Decline of Magic Power.

In the face of the turbulent River of Time, Shi Xuan did not choose to bitterly endure. With a move of his Taoist Heart, a resolute and firm calmness appeared in his turbid eyes, and he suddenly burned all the remaining lifespan!

In the blink of an eye, the illusory Great Dao of the Grotto-heaven universe collapsed, almost falling apart, and the complete destruction was right in front of him!

How could he slow down this kind of seeking life in the midst of death! How could he hesitate! How could he be cautious and endure!

He could only toss all his worries, fears, and doubts to the back of his mind with a firm and unrestrained state of mind, and with the most fervent devotion to the Great Dao, he took a vigorous and unstoppable step in search of that slim chance of survival!

At this moment, Shi Xuan forgot everything. He forgot that he still had secret skills that he had not used. He just followed his Taoist Heart to make this fierce and decisive move.

Just as the Grotto-Heaven Universe was completely destroyed, the River of Time suddenly came to a halt like a carriage that had come to a sudden stop.

Then, the river slowly flowed backward in a strange way. In the disintegrating cave, the hideous cracks gathered and merged. The terrifying void was filled by space and time, and the collapsed illusory Great Dao was restored to normal bit by bit.

Even though the time flow was very slow, it was really going backwards. In a short period of time, Shi Xuan's lifespan was slowly restored. He was so old that his eyes could not be seen, his teeth had all fallen out, and his mouth was sunken. Traces of vitality were circulating on his face, and his dull skin was emitting an invisible halo.

The countercharge of the Great Dao was still descending crazily, but the River of Time could no longer escape from Shi Shuan's control. It flowed back slowly but firmly!

Shi Shuan was finally able to open his eyes. His white and neat teeth grew out one by one, and his loose skin began to tighten. His dull and withered skin no longer had a deathly grey luster, and his white hair grew out one by one, becoming luxuriant.

A sense of pride and joy arose in his heart. He did not wait any longer. With a move of his mind, the black spots of the Chaotic Hole on his Primordial Spirit suddenly erupted!

A void was born in his Primordial Spirit. Innate Clear Qi was about to come out, and time and space had not been born. This was a strange place without a past, a present, a future, and a direction.

A piece of nothingness was born in the Yuan Shen. Innate Qi was about to come out, time and space were not born yet. This was a strange place with no past, no present, no future, no up, down, left, right, front, back and forth.

As Shi Xuan controlled the Grotto-Heaven to reverse time, he sensed and experienced the process of the birth of the universe and the opening of the void.

The Void Opening was a visualization cultivation method recorded in the Treasure Record after one's lifespan declined and before the unification of the path. It was also the last visualization method. After that, it would be the method to condense the Three Flowers above the Crown of the Head. Moreover, once one could unify the path, one's usual cultivation would be based on one's nature and circumstances. There were no fixed rules. Even if one cultivated the same method, there would be a myriad of variations.

Therefore, the Void Opening was a visualization method that pointed to the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. To successfully visualize it, it was very difficult even for the Lord Of Heaven, who was at the fourth stage. It often took him nearly a thousand years to succeed. However, once he could visualize it, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, as well as the many Great Dao derived from it, could be cultivated very quickly. It would only take him ten to twenty percent of the time under normal circumstances. Even after becoming a half-step Golden Immortal, it would save him a lot of time and effort on the Dao of All Things.

This was the supreme cultivation method of every supreme cultivation method. At this stage, it was the supreme method to harmonize with the fundamental Great Dao!

Shi Xuan had originally planned to cultivate in seclusion for a thousand years after passing the Decline of Lifespan and successfully visualize the Void Opening. Then, he would prepare for the Decline of Dao Heart, which he did not know when it would invade his heart. However, now that he had suddenly erupted, he had taken a firm step and grasped the slim chance of survival in the Decline of Lifespan, rendering the secret method useless.

Therefore, he simply displayed it, feeling and comprehending the scene of the birth of the universe from the side, laying the most solid foundation for visualizing the Void Opening in the future.

Such an opportunity would only come once, because if he was not in the Decline of Lifespan, performing this secret method would cause the destruction of his Primordial Spirit and his death.

In this strange scene where there was no time and no space, an ethereal and ethereal clear Qi was born. It was the appearance of Tai Chu after Tai Yi.

The clear Qi filled the void without time and space. Yin and Yang were mixed, and the chaos of Tai Chu that contained everything appeared.

The chaos evolved, and the three thousand Great Dao were nurtured within, becoming tangible and tangible. However, time and space had not been divided, and could not form a body. This was Tai Su. Then, in the chaos, Yin and Yang were separated, transforming into each other, and balanced as one.

The Void Opening was very fast, just like when the River of Time first erupted and flowed. In a flash, the black and White Light in the chaos shone brightly, and the first wisp of Yin and Yang separated!

Clear and Turbid were Yin and Yang, one rising and one falling!

Time and space were Yin and Yang, one universe and one universe!

They all suddenly separated, and the universe was born!

In the clear Qi and turbid Qi, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water erupted. The five elements evolved one by one, covering every corner of the void!

When the secret technique in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit displayed the rapid evolution of the universe, it was the source of the River of Time in the Primordial Spirit that merged with itself. The flow of time brought the time in the cave to reverse. It was like two people pulling the two ends of a rope. The former retreated, the latter moved forward, and vice versa.

In the cave, the collapsed Great Dao was completely stabilized. The illusory Boundless Universe retreated from a state of destruction to a state of perfect condition. Countless pieces of dust flew backward, gathered, and became stars again. The storm of time and space separated, and the terrifying Chaotic Hole shrunk until it became a collapsed point, and from a point, it retreated into the void, boundless universe, and so on …

The scene produced by the reversal of time in the entire cave looked horrifying and strange!

Shi Xuan's white hair gradually turned black, and his skin slowly regained its luster. His wrinkles slowly dissipated, and the smell of time decay became fainter and fainter. It was a rejuvenation without the support of mana!

The secret technique of the Void Opening was nearing its end. The flow of time became faster and faster, and it entered the final explosion. The universe entered chaos.

In that instant, within the cave, the Boundless Universe and the stars dissipated one after another. The illusory Chaos was born, and the storm of time condensed. The Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water erupted, and rapidly returned to one.

Shi Xuan suddenly stood up and pointed. The Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water returned to their original state. Time and space contracted and intertwined. Everything turned into Yin and Yang. They rotated and gradually fused into Chaos.

Within the Prime Clear Shenxiao world, Xu Zhenjun, Zi Ying, Jiu Ling, Ming Qingyue, Green Wolf, and the other True Lords and Enlightened Masters, as well as Wang Qi and the other disciples, suddenly felt that their surroundings had lost color. There was only black and white left, as if time had been stripped away.

Every single one of their actions was unobstructed. It was extremely normal.

However, outside the Shang Qing Divine Firmament Realm, the disciples guarding the Welcoming Island turned around and were dumbfounded. This was because within the entire grotto-heaven of the sect, everything seemed to have come to a standstill. Pieces of falling leaves were suspended in mid-air without any support.

If it were not for the fact that they had come out from inside, these disciples would have thought that it was an exquisite painting.

Shi Xuan took a step forward and pointed again. The power of the Great Dao's backlash was completely expelled from his Yuan Shen!

He had passed the Fourth Decay of Deva!

The surrounding time rippled. Shi Xuan suddenly turned his head. Through the endless void, he saw the purple-robed Lady Yu through the endless void. She was sitting cross-legged. Her Yuan Shen had completely decayed, but she was very calm.

As she stood up, the decay of her Yuan Shen rapidly disappeared. At this moment, she raised her head gently and made eye contact with Shi Xuan. She smiled.

Soon, Granny Yu regained her stunning and dignified appearance. She clasped her hands behind her back and strode forward. Wherever she passed, the trees would wave their branches, the soil would shake and cheer, and the grass and fruits would fall to the ground, singing a cheerful song. A scholar was lying under a tree, lost in thought. He was thinking that there was a house of gold in the book, and that there was a beauty in the book. Suddenly, he realized that there was a palace made of gold in front of him. At the entrance of the palace, there was a beautiful woman who was smiling warmly and bowing to him …

"I didn't expect Lady Yu to pass the Decline of Yuan Shen at this time." Shi Xuan quickly retracted his gaze. Now that he was involved in the matter of Life and Death Daozu, he didn't know how many big shots were paying attention to him, searching for traces of Life and Death Daozu, judging his state and true purpose. Whether he wanted to confuse the public, reincarnate in advance, or lure the snake out of its hole and kill them all in one fell swoop. Therefore, although he had Life and Death Daozu's cover and there was no danger of his cultivation technique being exposed for the time being, it was inconvenient for Shi Xuan to contact Lady Yu without any preparation.

Shi Xuan looked inside his Yuan Shen. "Once they know that I have passed the Decline of Yuan Shen and am one step closer to being a half-step Golden Immortal, it means that Life and Death Daozu's cultivation technique is close to perfection or has already been perfected. There will definitely be people who can't help but test me. Fortunately, comprehending the void opening in that situation is enough to save me seven to eight hundred years to master this visualization technique."
