This time, Chen Zong didn't go to the Ninth Sword City or the Chaos Region when he left Taihao Mountain. Instead, he left in another direction, where Chen Zong first set foot.
If he went there, it might be even more chaotic, but Chen Zong wasn't afraid.
The universes of the Infernal Order, the Infernal Demon Gate, and the God Worshipping Sect were many times more chaotic and dangerous than usual. It was definitely not a good idea to travel the universe at such a time, but Chen Zong didn't hesitate.
Chen Zong might even think that such a universe could help him better understand the spirit of Taihao.
Apart from traveling the sword universe, understanding the spirit of Taihao, and obtaining the true inheritance of Taihao, Chen Zong also planned to find Yu Nianxin. He didn't know where she was, so he could only try his luck. If he was lucky, he might meet her.
When Chen Zong left Taihao Mountain and headed west with his sword, the Taihao Sword Saint's eyes were fixed on him with anticipation.
He only hoped that Chen Zong could understand the spirit of Taihao, obtain the true inheritance of Taihao, and inherit the position of Taihao Sword Saint. At that time, he could leave with peace of mind and follow in the footsteps of the first and second Taihao, to understand the deeper mysteries of the universe.
The core!
The core universe!
The core of the universe!
That was the final destination of the first Taihao and the second Taihao. According to what the third Taihao Sword Saint knew, there had been many top Saint level great beings who had reached their limits in the outer universe since ancient times. They had chosen to go to the core universe when they felt that their future was hopeless.
But after they went to the core universe, they never appeared again.
What was the core universe like?
No one knew, because it was impossible to go to the core universe without reaching the Saint level. There might be other ways, but it was definitely not that easy. Moreover, after going to the core universe, it seemed that there was no way to return.
Therefore, the core universe had always been very mysterious. Some people even thought that the so-called core universe didn't exist at all. The so-called core universe was just a legend. However, as a top Saint, Taihao Sword Saint knew that the core universe existed. If he wanted to, he could also go there. But once he left, it would be difficult for him to return, and Taihao Mountain would lack a top Saint.
If Taihao Mountain had a second top Saint, he would have left long ago.
Now, he wanted to nurture a peak Saint to replace him in Taihao Mountain. Just like how the first Taihao nurtured the second Taihao, the second Taihao nurtured him, the third Taihao. He was ready to nurture the fourth Taihao.
Perhaps it would take a lot of time. No, it would really need a lot of time. Because he already had the intention to cultivate many years. but unfortunately, he didn't find a suitable candidate.
Now, Chen Zong had finally arrived. He also discovered that Chen Zong was qualified to receive Taihao's inheritance.
…
In the dark void of the universe, a flash of sword light streaked across at an astonishing speed. It was like a meteor streaking across the night sky. It was dazzling, brilliant, and eye-catching. After the sword light streaked across, it didn't disappear immediately. Instead, it stayed for a while before slowly fading away.
The Heart Sutra was constantly running. Chen Zong transformed into sword light and flew away while carefully comprehending the five Origins of the Great Path, four sword techniques, Sword Way Divine Skills, and so on.
The third level of the Fiendgod Sword Technique was also constantly running. It constantly absorbed the Qi of the universe around him to recover his energy and gradually improve his cultivation.
Chen Zong was also thinking about the Taihao Spirit.
Blazing, bright, purifying, divine!
Blazing like fire, bright and dignified, purifying all filth. It was like a divine God.
The Taihao Spirit was the mystery that the first Taihao had comprehended from the Eternal True Sun.
True Sun!
The blazing sun that rose and fell in the world was the True Sun, but it would continue to burn. After many years, it would burn out all of its power and dissipate from the world. It would disappear from the universe, leaving behind only ashes and a broken body.
However, there was a type of True Sun that would never be burned out no matter how much it burned. That was the Eternal True Sun.
The word "Eternal" meant that it would exist forever and synchronize with the universe. It would only disappear when the universe was destroyed.
Other forces could not shake the Eternal True Sun at all. Even the power of a Martial Sage was nothing compared to the Eternal True Sun and could not be shaken at all.
However, the Eternal True Sun was extremely rare and difficult to find.
In the records of the Taihao Mountain, there was an Eternal True Sun that was located in the Eternal Abyss.
The Eternal Abyss was the most dangerous and terrifying place in the universe. It was also known as the number one forbidden area. Even a Saint-level expert would be in danger of dying if they set foot in it.
However, Chen Zong also planned to make a trip to the Eternal Abyss to see the existence of the Eternal True Yang with his own eyes. It would be a pity if he didn't know about this kind of cosmic wonder, but if he knew about it and couldn't see it with his own eyes.
However, he had to go, but he couldn't go blindly. At the very least, he had to master more power.
Although a Saint-level expert would be in danger of dying if he stepped into the Eternal Abyss, the stronger he was, the safer he would be. Otherwise, it would be more dangerous.
Flying through the void, the Taihao Spirit Fire in the Deity Ocean seemed to have sensed something. It sent out a wave to remind Chen Zong.
Chen Zong had already figured out some of the mysteries of the Taihao Spirit Fire. The reason for this reaction was that the Taihao Spirit Fire had sensed the presence of evil. As for what kind of evil it was, Chen Zong didn't know. Following the guidance of the Spirit Fire, he adjusted his direction and flew in another direction.
Not long after, Chen Zong found a star. The star was floating in the universe and moving slowly. It was surrounded by a thin layer of black fog. The black fog emitted a gloomy aura and a kind of evil.
The abnormal fluctuation of the Spirit Fire came from this.
This place was full of evil.
As Chen Zong stared, his body flashed and he directly escaped into the black fog and entered the star.
After entering, Chen Zong felt that the evil aura became more intense. The fluctuation of the Spirit Fire also became more intense, as if it was reminding Chen Zong to quickly eradicate the evil and promote the Taihao Spirit.
However, Chen Zong was not careless. There was indeed evil here, and it should be eradicated. However, how strong was the source of the evil?
He didn't know. He had to act cautiously.
As he flashed past, Chen Zong frowned as he saw a dilapidated village. Numerous houses within the village had collapsed, and numerous shriveled and decayed corpses were scattered outside the houses. Their shriveled faces were warped and hideous as if they'd suffered extreme terror and boundless destruction before they died, and they seemed to have died with everlasting regret.
Staring at them, Chen Zong could even feel the remnant resentment, as well as intense fear and unwillingness.
After observing for a bit, Chen Zong retracted his gaze and continued to fly forward. He continued to discover villages filled with desiccated corpses. After a while, he found a town that was more than ten times larger than the previous one. It looked as if it had been trampled by some enormous beast, and was in ruins. Corpses littered the ground, and severed limbs and limbs were all shriveled up, almost like withered wood. The entire place was filled with an aura of decay.
Chen Zong knew that the vitality and everything else in the corpses had been devoured long ago. Not only that, but even their souls had been devoured as well. Furthermore, before they were devoured, they had been tortured by great fear and pain.
Demonic means!
This was purely a means of the Demonic Way. It was so cruel and disgusting that it made people shudder.
The black mark and the mysterious seed could also devour spirits and vitality. It was similar to the means of the Demonic Way. Chen Zong didn't want others to know about it. Otherwise, he would be misunderstood as a Demonic Way cultivator and be targeted.
But Chen Zong knew very well that he wasn't a Demonic Way cultivator.
He continued to move forward. It was a city, a collapsed city that was many times larger than the town. It was destroyed as if a hurricane had passed through. Countless withered corpses were everywhere, on the roofs, on the ground, and in the river.
They had died in almost the same way.
Who did this?
So cruel and ruthless.
Finally, Chen Zong found something.
Two figures flew up from the end of the city. They were both dressed in black robes. One of them was holding a black ball, and the other was holding a blood-red ball. From the black ball and the blood-red ball, there was constantly a shocking aura fluctuation.
The fluctuation of spirits!
The fluctuation of blood essence!
Without a doubt, Chen Zong knew that it was these two people who had caused the tragic deaths of the people in the village, town, and city.
In his perception, the aura of these two people wasn't strong, at least to Chen Zong.
Fifth Realm!
These were two murderers of the Fifth Realm.
Chen Zong didn't make a move immediately. Common sense told Chen Zong that although these two people were murderers, they weren't the only ones. There was a high chance that they weren't the mastermind behind the scenes. Someone else was.
Then, he would follow them first.
With Chen Zong's cultivation and strength, it was easy for him to hide his aura and follow these two people without being discovered. It couldn't be easier.
Not long after, these two people passed by a village. This village hadn't been destroyed yet. There were about a hundred people of all ages, men and women.
"Prey."
"Get rid of them."
Chen Zong heard the conversation between these two black-robed people. The malice on their faces was so clear and obvious that Chen Zong found it a little irritating.
Without any hesitation, Chen Zong immediately made a decision. He gave up on following these two people and made a move immediately.
Because if he continued to follow them, these hundred or so villagers would suffer. It was fine if he didn't see it with his own eyes, but since it was right in front of him, Chen Zong couldn't just watch them get brutally killed and do nothing.
He didn't even need to see it with his own eyes. Just from the horrible state of those mummified corpses, Chen Zong could guess what kind of torture and destruction they had gone through when they were alive.
"This time, it's my turn," said the Fifth Realm on the left. "You had a good time just now."
"Alright, then you can do it." The Fifth Realm on the right smiled. "But let's make a deal. It will be my turn next time."
Unfortunately, they didn't have this chance anymore because Chen Zong made a move immediately.
