Chapter 1171: The Passage of Time
After leaving the jade slip behind, the white fox guard transformed into a beam of light and returned to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's mountains.
Ye Zichen could clearly sense the power contained within the jade slip. Boundless divine power flowed through the jade slip. Ye Zichen was certain that so long as he released its power, he'd definitely be able to open a path to the Lower Realms.
"You were so mean earlier. Why did you suddenly agree?"
Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the jade slip. However, obtaining it was already a good thing. There was nothing to worry about.
As for the warning Su Wan had given Emperor Hades ….
Emperor Hades was in a state of decline. Who knew when he'd emerge from seclusion? Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered with their personal grudges.
Right now, all he cared about was returning to the Lower Three Realms.
Whenever he thought of his homeland, Ye Zichen's heart thumped violently.
That place could be considered as his second homeland.
There, he'd battled demons with wits and courage. Countless scenes of what he had lost and what he had obtained flashed through his mind like fleeting lights and shadows, and they interweaved in his mind to form memories that he would never be able to erase.
"I really wonder how you're doing?"
After muttering to himself, Ye Zichen's very soul trembled.
He clenched the jade slip, unable to resist the urge to go back. Even though he'd only been gone for a few years ….
Who wouldn't miss home?
Without any hesitation, Ye Zichen crushed the jade slip between his fingers.
Surging Divine Power gushed out from the jade slip. Countless Divine Powers interweaved in the air, forming a shocking phenomenon of Heaven and Earth.
In the blink of an eye, the divine power gathered in front of Ye Zichen.
About half a meter in front of him, the divine power coalesced into a faint blue crystal formation.
His feet stepped towards the Dharma Array, and the foundation stone of the Dharma Array shone brightly. Suddenly, it transformed into a beam of golden light that pierced through the heavens.
Deep in the bamboo forest behind the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Su Wan glanced at it indifferently when she sensed the beam of golden light. Only when the light disappeared did she retract her careless gaze. Her fingers lightly tapped on the surface of the square table and her red lips parted slightly.
"Liu 'er, come see me."
…..
In the blink of an eye, the stars shifted.
When Ye Zichen disappeared from the Yao Realm, he didn't reappear in the Lower Three Realms. Instead, he stopped in a long, pitch-black corridor.
At this moment, he was standing at the end of a long corridor, and behind him was the empty sea of stars.
"What's the situation?"
When he arrived, Ye Zichen was a bit dumbfounded.
He stepped out of the sea of stars, and when he stepped into the starry sky, he discovered that everything here had returned to chaos. That jet-black corridor with no end in sight was the only building here.
Ye Zichen didn't quite understand what was going on, so he circled the starry sky a few times. What frightened him was that even though he had memorized the direction, he was completely lost in the sea of stars when he walked a hundred meters out.
Just as he was panicking, the pitch-black corridor appeared in front of him again.
Clearly, there was something strange about this corridor.
In other words, this might be the only way to return to the Lower Realm.
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Zichen gave up on wandering aimlessly through the Milky Way. He really was worried about getting lost here.
He stepped into the corridor again. This corridor was about two meters wide, and its height was about the same.
The corridor was clearly pitch-black, but its interior was incomparably bright.
"What on earth is this? Don't tell me everyone else came down like this too?"
Ye Zichen had no idea how long he'd been walking in the corridor. All he knew was that it seemed endless. No matter how he walked, he couldn't find his way out.
Gradually, he began to grow anxious. When he tried to turn around, a ball of fire suddenly lit up behind him.
The light from the fire shone on the mirror-like walls, turning the entire corridor into a fiery red color.
More importantly, Ye Zichen could feel the heat of the flames as he stood with his back to them. Through the surrounding walls, he seemed to be able to see someone behind the flames.
He suddenly turned around, and sure enough, he saw a bonfire about half a meter in front of him.
The flames blazed so fiercely that their tongues almost touched his face. There was a black-robed man sitting beside the fire. He looked like a sorcerer, but it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female. He sat beside the flames and reached out, as if warming himself.
Just as Ye Zichen recovered from his astonishment, the sorcerer suddenly looked up. However, he wasn't looking at Ye Zichen, but rather at the spot opposite him. The sorcerer spoke in a voice as hoarse as an old crow's.
"Welcome to the Time Corridor."
"Are you talking to me?"
Ye Zichen asked in surprise, but to his surprise, the sorcerer completely ignored him. The sorcerer continued to stare at the spot opposite him. A moment later, Ye Zichen saw a figure stealthily approach from the depths of the flames. The figure's owner caused Ye Zichen's entire body to stiffen, as if he'd been petrified.
Far away, outside the Time Corridor, in Maple City, outside the Immortal Region …
"I heard that the demons who stayed here all those years ago were killed by that statue?"
In the air above Maple City, several dark-skinned men in revealing clothing looked contemptuously at Ye Zichen's statue in the center of the city.
"That's right, Your Excellency."
A human youth stood beside the demons. He wore green robes, and judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy he emanated, he'd already reached the immortal king level.
In the Immortal Region, this sort of strength would make him a peak existence. There was no need for him to bow and scrape to anyone.
However, the people standing beside him were different. These people ….
They were all supremes!
In front of supremes, even an immortal king like the youth had to tuck his tail between his legs. He smiled apologetically.
"Back then, it was precisely this statue's living being who prevented you from entering. However, he's already dead, but the faction he left behind is in Maple City. "
"Hmph, if not for Bi 'an of the Four Directions Palace interfering and preventing us from descending, this place would have long since become our territory," snorted one of the demon supremes. He grinned at his brothers and said, "Coincidentally, the divine artifact hasn't appeared yet. How about we stay here and have some fun?"
"That's not too good, is it? The gods and yao are here too. If we act rashly …."
