In front of Yi Yun's statue, Tianxuan Mengyao's appearance naturally caught everyone's attention.
Everyone saw how dazzling Tianxuan Mengyao was. Some even praised her for resembling Lin Xintong's from the past.
However, when Tianxuan Mengyao's figure landed in the eyes of some experts, many of them sighed.
They knew that Tianxuan Mengyao was not as dazzling as she looked.
"Is it a scar left behind by the Great Dao … This lass sure is headstrong. Unfortunately, the Great Dao is heartless. The Empress of Heaven's cultivation technique's requirements are just too high. She probably won't be able to succeed."
They could tell that Tianxuan Mengyao's dantian was already scarred.
Back when Bai Yueyin left the White Lunar Divine Empire, she had left behind some scattered heritage. These heritage were incomplete, but their origins were not simple. They came from Empress Sheng Mei.
Although these weren't the core inheritances left behind by Sheng Mei, wanting to cultivate them was still extremely difficult. If this were the ancient era when the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao was still complete, then some talented individuals might have been able to find their way. But now, to cultivate ancient martial arts cultivation methods with the shattered Heavenly Dao Laws was far too dangerous.
At the end of the day, it was the era of martial decline. So-called geniuses had no way out.
The present Martial Dao was just too difficult.
At that moment, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi stirred above the Mirage Sea Realm's square. A screen of light appeared out of thin air as the void trembled.
Following that, the screen of light slowly parted, revealing a door. It was the entrance to the Mirage Sea Realm.
This screen of light was the main body of the Mirage Sea Realm's array.
After the door opened, people saw a passageway that led deep into the Mirage Sea Realm. It was paved with nomological fragments, and standing at the entrance was an elder.
The elder's clothes were tattered, and he was thin. His hair was white, and he had a frivolous smile on his face.
He was the array's guardian. If Yi Yun were here, he would have recognized the old man as Old Snake.
In order to maintain the array's stability in the sixteen Lands of Hope, each array needed a few guardians.
These guardians had to refine ancient laws. Only then could they maintain the array's nomological stability in this era where the Heavenly Dao was lacking.
As an ancient Godly Monarch, Old Snake was naturally the most suitable person to do all of this. It was also because of this reason that the Mirage Sea Realm's Land of Hope was of the best quality among the sixteen Lands of Hope.
In the ancient battle, not only was Old Snake severely injured, he had also lost a large portion of his memories. Even now, he was not recovering well.
Upon seeing these youths, Old Snake chuckled. He waved his hand and opened the final barrier.
Many young geniuses walked through the passageway one by one. When the linen clothed youth passed through the passageway, he glanced at the old man and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He could sense that the power of laws in the old man's body was slowly flowing with the grand array.
Although these grand formations were powered by Godly Monarch Refined Jades, that was only on the energy level. As for the power of universal laws, they needed to be maintained by the guardians.
The Land of Hope was said to be able to last for millions of years. In other words, these guardians would have to guard this place for millions of years. Over a long period of time, the Law Energy in the guardian's body would slowly be consumed, becoming lesser and lesser.
Therefore, the Land of Hope could not exist forever. It was destined to disappear in the future.
This was the cultivation time exchanged for the life force of many experts of the older generation.
They would be stationed here, losing their freedom and enduring loneliness.
But even so, it was only exchanged for a few million years. How far could the younger generation cultivate?
Among these people, who could change the fate of the Sinkhole? No one could give an answer. Although the Land of Hope was called a land of hope, everyone knew that the chances were extremely slim.
However, warriors practiced martial arts to defy the heavens and change their fate. Against the waning of the Heavenly Dao, people had to resist. This way, even if they failed, they would not have any regrets at the end of their lives.
After passing through the passageway, the linen clothed youth turned back to look at the old man's back.
He did not know the old man, nor was he familiar with him. He did not even know his name.
Yes, it was not only the linen clothed youth. The other young geniuses who passed through the passageway, including the disciples who had already entered the Mirage Sea Realm, did not know that the weather-beaten old man was one of the eight statues erected at the square's entrance.
This was Old Snake's own will.
In Old Snake's words, he could no longer remember the battle of yesteryear.
The Dragon King of the eight Godly Monarchs was like a past incarnation to him.
In that case, there was no need to let the world know.
He wanted the Dragon King to forever leave a powerful and perfect image in the world. He did not want the world to see a hero past his prime.
Therefore, when the Mirage Sea Realm disciples passed through the passageway, they would forever see a cheeky Old Snake.
…
After passing through the passageway, people saw a gigantic palace. On the palace's platform, people saw a group of hideous-looking people dressed in armor. Leading them was a person who was more than three meters tall. His arms and body were wrapped in black chains. His body was covered in black scales that burned with flames.
This group of people were not Mirage Sea Realm disciples, but demonic servants under the Ancestor God!
They were the strongest existences among the demonic servants. The demonic servant leading them was the Demonic Commander who had conquered the Sinkhole years ago.
When the Ancestor God finally devoured the Heavenly Dao, he had ordered his demonic servants to gather worldly spiritual items so that he could set up his final array. Even Bai Yueyin's intrinsic artifact — the White Jade Phoenix Palace — was targeted by the demonic servants.
Bai Yueyin was heavily injured and the White Jade Phoenix Palace fell. The demonic servants headed to the White Lunar Divine Empire to vie for the White Jade Phoenix Palace.
And that happened during Lin Xintong's coronation. This resulted in Yi Yun's battle with Heavenly Cosmic Divine Lord and Perfected Hou. In the end, Heavenly Cosmic and Perfected Hou were killed by Yi Yun.
However, this did not stop anything. The Ancestor God still successfully devoured the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao.
Later, the Ancestor God left the Sinkhole and returned to the Chaos Heavens. He did not take a small number of demonic generals with him.
These demonic generals decided to stay in the Sinkhole and became its rulers.
The Demonic Commander was powerful to begin with. With the token augmented by the Ancestor God's powers, no one in the Sinkhole could resist him, nor did they dare to.
This was because the countless beings in the Sinkhole were able to survive because the Ancestor God did not destroy the Sinkhole. To put it bluntly, after the Ancestor God devoured the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao, the world became trash to the Ancestor God. He could not be bothered to destroy it.
However, if the Ancestor God was infuriated, he could wipe out countless beings in the Sinkhole with a mere thought.
After the Ancestor God left, the Demonic Commander stayed behind because there were still some resources left. Although the Ancestor God did not fancy them, he did not despise them and could plunder them.
And the encampment he chose was the Mirage Sea Realm's Land of Hope.
In the Sinkhole, the Mirage Sea Realm's Land of Hope had the richest Yuan Qi. It was also the most convenient place for cultivation.
The human seniors had sacrificed their lives to maintain the array, but the demonic servants had become the beneficiaries. They even occupied the best cultivation resources in the Land of Hope.
And sadly, the warriors in the Land of Hope could only endure it.
