"Thanks to the concern of the two Stoneman Kings, I was able to quietly observe for many days. In the end, they said that they were going to a mysterious place to open a door. They mentioned … the three words' stone key '."
Speaking until here, the old goat was a little absent-minded and said, "The reason why I could have one day's worth of achievements was greatly related to being able to observe the two Stoneman Kings play chess. I am truly grateful to them, but that farewell was an eternal one."
"Thinking back to that time, the divine flowers were swaying gently, the two Stoneman Kings were exceptionally outstanding. They stepped on the rain of flowers and ascended to the sky. However, they never returned again …"
"They never returned, and there was no news from then on?"
Xiao Chen asked.
The old goat heaved a sigh and said, "Until thirty thousand years later, when the Heavenly Realm was filled with fallen flowers and the sky was dyed with fresh blood, the Heavenly Realm was shaken. Only then did I know that the two Stoneman Kings had fallen that day.
"How did they fall?"
"Perhaps only two or three Stoneman Kings knew at that time. Although my cultivation was somewhat successful at that time, I was still unable to look up to the giants of the Heavenly Realm. It was impossible for me to know. I only knew that the two unparalleled Stoneman Kings had truly disappeared forever one day …"
The Heavenly Realm had a lot of secrets. Xiao Chen had only been in this world for a short period of time, so his understanding was naturally limited. Now that he heard the ancient anecdotes, he felt that the Heavenly Realm was even more mysterious.
"Later on, when my cultivation was finally successful, I went back to look into the past. However, I discovered that the people and matters of the past were already gone forever. Even the few giants of the past had already returned to dust, dust to dust. Everything was annihilated in the past."
Xiao Chen felt quite shocked. Because the indistinct and hazy past made him see an even more vast and mysterious Heavenly Realm.
"Even if I used a heaven-defying technique and searched through the past and present, I still couldn't find any clues. Everything I wanted to know seemed to have been completely erased and simply did not exist in history. This made me puzzled no matter how I thought about it."
Although the old goat's words were very dull, Xiao Chen could feel an extremely unusual aura. The 'knot' in the old goat's heart was related to an extremely terrifying secret history.
"I don't know why those two kings died. Back then, their achievements had already reached an extreme realm that shocked the ancients and dazzled the contemporaries. Even though I later became a king of Si Yang, I was still filled with deep respect for those two because the many methods they displayed have not been completely surpassed by the later generations."
Millions and millions of years had passed, and the old goat had also reached a similar level. However, when he spoke of these past events, he was still full of respect and reverence. It could be seen just how deep of an impression these two people left on him.
"Although I didn't find out the final result, many things happened during that period of time that made me feel bewildered."
At this point, the old goat's eyes suddenly became incomparably resplendent and shot out two dazzling rays of light. He said, "The alien world and the origin of the Nine Prefectures appeared one after another in the myriad of worlds. It was as if two worlds were born out of thin air. Not long after, an incomparably great war began, which deeply shocked the Heaven Realm …"
"Even though I didn't witness that battle with my own eyes, I've heard others speak of it. The setting sun is as red as blood, and the king of the world has fallen …"
"I don't know what happened during that battle, but at the same time, I was meditating under a heavenly tree in the Heaven Realm. I saw falling petals and divine flowers dyed with blood …"
"That place was the place where the two kings ascended to in the past. When they died, it was also the place where the rain of flowers first appeared."
"During the great war between the alien world and the origin of the Nine Prefectures, the kings fell. I don't know why the two kings ascended to the sky in the past, but I think there might be some unknown secret …"
At this point, although the old goat's expression was indifferent, one could clearly feel that this was a reflection of his heavy mood.
"In the distant past, I neglected an important clue, and that was the stone key. The two kings once mentioned these three words vaguely, but they didn't attract my attention. I even mistakenly thought that they were talking about the 'stone medicine' that the Stone Golem King had refined …"
"Millions and millions of years have passed, and almost all my memories have been sealed by me. Only today, the three words' stone key 'jolted me awake like a bolt of lightning. How is it a stone medicine? It's clearly a stone key!"
"This … is just the only vague clue."
"However, even if I completely understand these three words now, I still don't know what happened back then. Where did the two world-shaking kings go? Why did they fall despite being invincible in the Heaven Realm …"
After listening to everything the old goat said, Xiao Chen pondered for a long time. He kept turning the stone key over and over again, but to no avail.
"Let's take this stone key and go to the location of the heavenly tree to take a look. Maybe we can find something."
Hearing Xiao Chen's suggestion, the old goat nodded in agreement.
The two of them concealed their tracks and flew underground, quickly rushing towards the center of the Heaven Realm.
The Heaven Realm was vast and boundless. They had to travel for millions of miles before they reached their destination.
When the two of them carefully arrived on the surface with the Pangu Stone Token in hand, the surrounding fresh air immediately blew into their faces.
This was a lush, primitive mountainous region. Ancient trees and old vines intertwined, creating a primeval scenery. The heavenly tree of the past could no longer exist. After millions and millions of years, it had already turned into rotten soil.
However, Xiao Chen still saw a broken root here. It was as thick as a mountain and was buried underground. However, it had already lost all signs of life, turning into a hard fossil. When Xiao Chen gently knocked on it, it gave off a melodious' qiang qiang 'sound.
After arriving here, the two of them still did not find anything. Knowing that they were about to leave, they used the stone key to knock on the broken root. Only then did something strange happen.
The stone key, which originally did not have any fluctuations of Divine Energy, actually gave off a mysterious aura, calm and indifferent.
Splendid light circulated around Xiao Chen and the old goat's surroundings. After that, a hazy blue dome of heaven appeared above them.
Two figures stood there proudly. Then, a window opened in the sky, and the blood-stained divine flowers fell down.
The scene was very calm. There was no intense light. It just flashed by, and then there was nothing left.
However, the old goat was quite shocked. He murmured, "A window really opened, but what was that?"
Xiao Chen was thinking, was the origin of the nine provinces and the other world related to that window? According to what the old goat said earlier, there seemed to be a certain connection.
"I knew this old thing was there!"
Just at this time, the ice-cold voice of the Stone Grinder transmitted over. It was very inconsistent with its child-like body. It was standing in the sky.
"I didn't expect this old guy to be so nostalgic!"
The blood-colored splendor flickered. The heaven-defying warrior, Dan Jun, stood in the void and looked down at the bloody mist that completely enveloped him.
"Hehe …"
The stone corpse only let out a sinister laugh. In terms of age, it was most likely the oldest here. It was said to exist with the world and had escaped from the Heavenly Realm's great calamities. Almost all of the cultivators of the same generation had died by now.
The spiral-shaped mist was like two torrential rivers entangled together. It crossed the sky from tens of thousands of miles away. It was the Water King, Song Dafei.
Multicolored light soared into the sky. The stone lotus flower bloomed. The Lotus King had descended. Although it was otherworldly, it still carried a bit of killing intent as it stared at the old goat.
"Bang …"
A huge hand smashed through the sky and slammed down towards Xiao Chen and the old goat. It was the ancestor of the floating island, Xuan Kong. He was the most direct and wanted to kill.
"You bunch of cabbages, if this old man's body wasn't in a bad condition, would you dare to look down on me like this?"
After saying that, the old goat merged with Xiao Chen again and quickly dodged the attack of the huge hand in the sky.
"The treasure you are fighting over is only this stone key. If anyone can explain it, I will give it to him directly."
"The heaven-defying treasure is the stone key?"
The Stone Grinder was the first to raise its eyes. It was obvious that it didn't believe it and said, "I don't really believe it."
Xiao Chen waved the stone key in his hand and said, "The treasure is here and its aura hasn't changed. Why don't you believe it?"
"No matter what it is, even if it can't kill you, I will make you pay a price today!"
This was the voice of the stone corpse. The corpse mist around him soared to the sky.
"That's right, we will have to pay a price to get away with it!"
Dan Jun also had the same attitude. He was very firm.
Even the Lotus King, who had worked together with the old goat before, had a grave and stern expression, appearing very cold.
This time, the old goat had deceived everyone and pulled a tooth out of the tiger's mouth, causing the others' efforts to be in vain. He did not have to spend much effort to obtain the treasure. Naturally, the giants of the Heavenly Realm felt embarrassed and came to denounce him. Naturally, there had to be a conclusion.
"Flying in the sky and burrowing underground?"
Xiao Chen secretly asked the old goat how to break out of the encirclement.
"Now that I've been locked on by him, it will be difficult for me to escape. Even if I manage to break out of the encirclement, they will be able to deduce my hiding place in a few days' time. No one will be able to withstand the combined might of these fellows.
"How do we end things with six giants? Are we just going to wait for death?"
Xiao Chen frowned. Although these two experts were only clones, they could definitely sweep through any enemy.
"It seems like there is only one way now — lower realms!"
This was the old goat's last resort.
However, Xiao Chen was immediately speechless. If these six people followed them to the lower realms, they would turn the world upside down and the Nine Prefectures would cease to exist. Of course, if they made use of their strength, they might be able to inflict heavy damage to the otherworldly realm.
However, the old goat's next words shocked him.
"The Ancestor Gods can descend, but the Kings are afraid!"
"Why?"
"Because in the past, in different eras, there were two Kings that descended one after another. However, both of them died mysteriously. Even until now, they have not found an answer. This is like a shadow that shrouds the hearts of some of the giants of the Heavenly Realm. Unless there is an urgent need, they will not descend easily."
Xiao Chen immediately thought of the Ninety-Nine Stone Steps in the otherworldly realm. Then, he thought of the Nine Lanterns and the Heavenly Stele. Finally, he thought of the Death World. He felt that other than these factors, there was no other force that could deal with the Stone Golem King.
"Dong … …"
At this moment, the six giants in the sky made their move. They charged towards Xiao Chen and the others. They were disappointed with the heaven-defying treasure and furious with the old goat. They were venting their anger at this moment.
Of course, not everyone was disappointed with the heaven-defying treasure. For example, the stone corpse that existed with the world had a fiery passion surging in the depths of its eyes.
"Let's go to the Lower Realm!"
Xiao Chen flew, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. He flew towards the primal chaos passageway that led to the Heavenly Realm.
"This old man has not descended to the Lower Realm for several centuries. This time, I will go and take a look. I don't believe that the mysterious curse can destroy me."
In this critical situation, the old goat agreed.
Behind them, the six powerhouses were not in a hurry. They followed behind and attacked ferociously. The old goat's eyes rolled back. He supported the Great Dao imprint with great difficulty. His expression was somewhat bitter.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen's body was on the verge of splitting apart. At this moment, he felt the danger of being destroyed at any time.
It could be said that the two of them were in a very dangerous situation.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was shocked to discover that there seemed to be two Immemorial Divine Cities towering majestically on the ground in front of them. When they sensed the approaching giants in the sky, the two giant cities trembled.
And at the same time, the supreme Great Dao imprint of the otherworldly realm in his body shook violently. It wanted to leave his body. This was not a good sign!
"Is that the region below that is ruled by the giants?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"It belongs to the border of the Stone Corpse's sphere of influence. This should be an important place for the otherworldly faction."
"As expected!"
Xiao Chen knew that they had encountered the supreme Great Dao of the otherworldly realm. The two of them had reached an extremely terrifying level and formed a divine city.
"Brat, you can't be thinking of …"
The old goat was a little shocked.
"Of course I am thinking of …"
Before Xiao Chen could finish his words and take action, the divine cities below had already reacted.
"Dong …"
The two majestic giant cities trembled violently. After that, they actually rose from the ground and rushed towards the sky. Of course, the foundation of the divine cities was not damaged. They blocked Xiao Chen.
A lion fighting a rabbit, go all out!
Xiao Chen went crazy at this moment. He directly pulled out the ancient scroll. A magnificent mountain and river unfolded and swept forward to kill.
In front of him, the Immemorial Divine Cities shook violently. Endless divine light swept out to resist.
The ancient scroll was hundreds of miles long. Amidst the magnificent mountain and river, the five Stone Puppet Kings seemed to have come back to life. It seemed like they were about to step out. At this moment, Xiao Chen was comparable to a heaven-defying warrior. Naturally, he could bring out the power of the ancient scroll to the limit. The divine might was vast and mighty in the Heavenly Realm. Even the few giants at the rear changed their expressions.
"Bang …"
A violent tremor sounded. The ancient scroll swept across a divine city, shattering the divine gate on the spot. Half of the city wall collapsed, rumbling in the sky. Great amounts of rubble fell down.
"It's that ancient scroll!"
The eyes of the stone corpse widened on the spot. No one was clearer than him about how magical and powerful this ancient scroll was. In the past, it had sealed his six great corpses in the secret passage leading to the chaotic land.
"What a powerful treasure. If I can seize this treasure, it will not be any weaker than a heaven-defying war treasure!"
The Stone Grinding Beast's eyes were also glowing.
Xiao Chen made his move again. The ancient scroll swept across the sky and continued to attack that giant city. "Rumble …" The Immemorial Divine Cities immediately crumbled in half and flew away in an instant.
At the same time, the other divine city also felt that the situation was far from good and instantly fled far away.
Xiao Chen's back suffered six attacks in a row. If he had not reached the heaven-defying realm and fused with the divine diagram, his body and soul would definitely have been destroyed. Even so, he still suffered unbearable injuries.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and continued to chase. The two divine cities in front of him were not simple. They actually dared to fly in the sky and escape underground. Moreover, they were the descendants of the supreme great dao of the other world. He wanted to risk his life to eliminate them.
Like a dream or a flash of lightning, Xiao Chen appeared in front of him and intercepted one of the giant cities. The ancient scroll enveloped the city. With a burst of dazzling light, the foundation of that dilapidated divine city was completely crushed.
At the same time, Xiao Chen's divine diagram and thirty-odd war swords flew out and fused with the ancient scroll of his previous self. They swept towards the other divine city.
"Bang …"
The foundation of the divine city crumbled and fell down.
All of this happened very quickly. The foundation of the two divine cities was destroyed. Two roars of despair resounded. Immediately, divine flames soared to the sky and the two divine cities crumbled. Two incomplete stone men rushed towards the sky frantically and attacked Xiao Chen.
"Boom …"
At the same time, Xiao Chen suffered the attacks of the six giants again. He finally could not hold on any longer and fell from the sky.
"Boom …"
Xiao Chen made his move coldly and mercilessly. He used the ancient scroll to sweep across the land below. In an instant, he destroyed the important land of the other side. He felt that he had killed at least three experts of the other side.
And at this moment, his body was on the verge of destruction. He weakly escaped into the distance.
Xiao Chen felt that it was worth it to destroy the two experts of the Heaven Realm who had limitless potential and three cultivators from the other side of the Heaven Realm!
Behind him, eight people were chasing after him. The six giants and two incomplete stone men could be considered as a super terrifying force.
He was getting closer, he was finally getting closer! Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the entrance of the primal chaos tunnel that led to the Heaven Realm.
"This old man is going to kick the bucket soon. Brat, hurry up …"
Behind him, the six giants attacked unceasingly. Xiao Chen's body crumbled a few times, but he was repaired by the divine diagram again. At the same time, the ancient scroll burst out with radiance and absorbed the divine power that swept over. Just like that, it blocked most of the attacks.
"Swish …"
Xiao Chen finally rushed into the primal chaos tunnel. However, he discovered that the front was blocked. It was that chaotic huge palace!
The primal chaos light flickered in the tunnel. The majestic huge palace was blocking the way. This made Xiao Chen very anxious.
"This …"
"Boom …"
The six experts arrived and shook the primal chaos tunnel. They walked in at the same time. The two despairing stone men also followed behind them. They had already gone berserk.
"Dead end!"
The old goat immediately shouted, "It's over. This old man is destined to lose a strand of essence. We can only meet again after thirty thousand years."
Xiao Chen ignored him. He took out the divine diagram and the scroll and crashed into the huge palace.
It was clearly a wall. However, at this moment, it actually rippled like water, emitting waves.
Xiao Chen actually rushed in. The chaotic huge palace was the holy land of the past. It had the same origin as the divine diagram and ancient scroll. At this moment, it naturally let Xiao Chen pass.
"What?"
The six giants were furious. They were very afraid of this huge palace and did not dare to get close. They did not expect Xiao Chen to escape so easily.
"Boom …"
The stone corpse ferociously attacked the huge palace in front. Immediately, the primal chaos surged and shook violently.
However, the Stone Grinder and the Lotus King quickly stopped him.
"Don't be rash. This huge palace is very mysterious. It's the same as the ninety-nine layered stone steps. Don't touch it easily!"
The stone corpse said coldly, "Are we just going to let them go like this?"
"Let's work together and capture them!"
Ancestor Xuankong suggested.
"Alright!"
The six experts quickly sat down cross-legged.
In the chaotic land, the black wind was blowing. The scarlet light around the huge palace flickered and destroyed everything.
Xiao Chen finally returned. He let out a long breath.
However, right at this time, the old goat's expression changed. He said, "These six bastards actually used this kind of method. Just now, they did something to our bodies. Right now, they are detaining us."
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry. You can return to the nine prefectures safely. I'll be dead for thirty thousand years at most. I'll reappear in the world!"
At this moment, Old Goat put away his mischievous smile and appeared somewhat solemn.
"The Stone Emperor has returned …"
Right at this moment, the voices of the six experts echoed throughout the Chaotic Lands.
"The Stone Emperor has returned …"
The old goat's figure gradually became blurry.
Xiao Chen was startled. He quickly used the formation and ancient scroll to block them.
"It's useless. When the six kings attack, no one in the world can stop them."
The old goat was very calm at this moment. He said, "I'm immortal. Even if I'm destroyed this time, I can still return after thirty thousand years. Go quickly. Remember, you have to stay alive. You owe me a big favor. You'll have to borrow my divine diagram in the future."
"The Stone Emperor …"
Xiao Chen stared at the fading figure, but he was powerless to stop it.
