The heavenly light was boundless and blinding. Two silhouettes appeared and disappeared, looking down on the world.
Everyone's heart shook and their bodies shivered. Even those close to the Dao were no exception.
"A real immortal and a divine ancestor. Interesting." The Evil Samsara Disk retracted its bloody light and the silhouettes disappeared.
It was obvious that as long as they didn't attack the tomb, the undefeatable silhouettes wouldn't appear.
Everyone sighed in relief. Even those close to the Dao were drenched in sweat.
The Evil Samsara Disk and the immortal silhouettes were both extremely terrifying. Why wouldn't everyone be fearful?
"No wonder the tombs are completely opposite …" The Evil Samsara Disk murmured to itself and turned into a ray of light that entered the tomb.
For one, they wanted to kill Ling Xian. For two, they wanted to see this tomb.
Who wouldn't be interested in a real immortal and an undefeatable divine ancestor?
Everyone wanted to enter as well, but not many dared to. Especially after the Evil Samsara Disk showed its power, nobody dared to enter.
…
The immortal's tomb was dark and eerie, making everyone shudder.
Ling Xian frowned slightly as he stared at the two forked roads. He finally understood why the Immortal Cemetery had two completely different tombs.
Because two cultivators were buried here. One was a real immortal, the other a divine ancestor.
"On the left is a real immortal, on the right is a divine ancestor."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep. The left path was as warm as summer while the right path was as cold as winter. There was also the energy of a foreign ancestor.
This was how Ling Xian learned that a real immortal and a divine ancestor were buried here.
Because of this, he thought the left path led to the immortal's tomb and the right path led to the divine ancestor's tomb.
"You mean, a real immortal and a divine ancestor are buried here?" The tree spirit's pupils constricted. His heart was in turmoil.
Everyone knew this was the immortal's tomb and he thought so too. He didn't think that other than the immortal, there was also an undefeatable divine ancestor buried here.
This was far too shocking. If news of this got out, the entire universe would be shaken!
"That's right. The immortal and the divine ancestor were enemies. They couldn't be buried together. They must have perished together."
Ling Xian frowned. He now knew why there were two completely opposite tombs. But he didn't know what the immortal repaired and what the divine ancestor destroyed.
"We shouldn't have come in."
The Tree Spirit sighed. If the Divine Ancestor had completely fallen, then everything would be fine. But if the remnant of his soul remained, then he and Ling Xian would be in danger.
"We don't have a choice. Rather than dying at the hands of the Evil Samsara Wheel, we might as well die in the tomb."
"Besides, we might not necessarily die. Aside from the sacred ancestor, there is still a true immortal here."
Looking at the fork on the left, Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He wanted to know what the True Immortal repaired and what the Divine Ancestor destroyed.
At that moment, he strode forward with his head held high.
Seeing this, Tree Spirit sighed helplessly and followed closely behind.
Now that things had come to this, there was no other way out. He could only brace himself and walk on.
There was no wind or waves along the way. Be it the tomb's Ten Horrors or other dangers, the two of them did not encounter any.
An hour later, the two of them reached the end of the path and saw a large crimson seal.
Immortal energy curled around it, releasing divine light. The precious imprint was as heavy as a hundred thousand great mountains, its might suppressing the ten thousand worlds of the heavens.
Its power was no weaker than the Immortal Cauldron of the Hall of Gods or the South-Heaven Gate of the Great Dao Mausoleum.
"Immortal artefact!"
The Tree Spirit's expression changed. Countless branches danced in the air and heavenly light shone brightly.
"There is no need to be nervous. If the immortal wanted to kill us, we would've died a long time ago."
Ling Xian looked at the Divine Seal in a serious manner, "If I am not wrong, the immortal's soul is still here."
"You are right. I am possessing the treasure and barely managed to protect a strand of my soul."
The seal emitted light and turned into a man in green. His face was ordinary and his temperament was ordinary.
His silhouette was blurry and was only faintly discernible. It was obvious that he could disappear at any moment.
"Junior Ling Xian greets you." Ling Xian's expression was normal. He was neither shocked nor excited.
For one, he had guessed that the immortal's soul was still here. For two, he has seen far too many accomplished cultivators. Naturally, he would not be excited.
"There is no need to be so polite. You sure have a calm mentality."
The immortal grinned. Though he was a remnant of a soul that could disappear at any moment, his identity was there. Who could calmly look at him?
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep, "Dare I ask, what are you repairing?"
"You figured it out?"
The immortal glanced at Ling Xian with praise, "I will give you a hint. Whether or not you can guess it will depend on how smart you are."
"Please speak." Ling Xian faintly grinned. With a hint, he believed he would be able to guess.
The immortal wiped off his smile and said in a serious tone, "Let me ask you, what does the universe need the most?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart shook. He finally knew what the immortal was repairing.
The universe is plagued with internal and external threats. It needs the undefeatable to defend against the foreign lands.
However, what the universe needs the most isn't the undefeatable, it is the complete Heaven's Path.
Only when the Heaven's Path is flawless can the universe continue to give birth to the undefeatable!
"So you are repairing the Heaven's Path. You are so righteous. I am impressed." Ling Xian softly sighed. He had already fallen but he still cared about the universe. How sad.
"I am not righteous. I am merely doing what I can."
The immortal sighed, "Sadly, someone is interfering. I am repairing it and he is destroying it. Until now, there has been no results."
"No results at all?" Ling Xian frowned. He knew the saboteur was the divine ancestor.
"No, I am repairing it and he is destroying it. 30,000 years have passed and the Heaven's Path is crumbling more and more."
"Maybe in another few tens of thousands of years, no one in the universe will be able to cultivate."
The immortal sighed. He had used the mysterious tomb to repair the Heaven's Path. He had done his best but the divine ancestor also understood the tomb.
"No one can cultivate …" Ling Xian's heart shook as he realized the severity of the problem.
How could a world full of mortals stop the foreign lands?
"May I ask if there is a way to kill the divine ancestor?" Ling Xian squinted his eyes and coldness flickered.
If the divine ancestor dies, he can destroy the tomb and repair the Heaven's Path.
"There is, but the result will be mutual destruction. When that happens, the tomb that repairs the Heaven's Path will shatter and the tomb that destroys the Heaven's Path will disappear."
The immortal sighed. If he could kill the divine ancestor, he would've done it a long time ago. Why wait until now?
"They will all disappear …" Ling Xian frowned. Disappearing was no different from existing.
He looked at the man in green seriously, "Immortal, can you teach me how to repair the tomb?"
"You want to build a tomb somewhere else?" The immortal guessed Ling Xian's plan.
"That's right. That is the only way to repair the Heaven's Path. Please teach me." Ling Xian said in a low voice.
"It's useless. Repairing the Heaven's Path is not easy. No matter how mysterious the tomb is, it won't work."
"Only the foundation of the Immortal Path and the mysterious tomb can do it."
The immortal sighed, "Even if I teach you, it won't help."
"The foundation of the Immortal Path …" Ling Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He has seen many real immortals but other than the fallen immortals in the foreign lands, where else could he find real immortals?
"The only thing I can do now is wait, wait for the divine ancestor's soul to disappear."
The immortal sighed helplessly, "But I don't think I can wait until that day comes. Repairing is much harder than destroying. After 30,000 years, I cannot hold on any longer."
