Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had never heard of the seven regions mentioned in this ancient text. Those were the names of the Immemorial Era. As time passed, many ancient worlds no longer existed, not to mention the seven mysterious places of the Immemorial Era.
However, the next paragraph shook Xiao Chen's heart. Before the Immemorial Era, there were many experts. It was extremely prosperous. That was an era that people yearned for.
Among them, there were even a few who cultivated to the absolute peak. All the cultivators in the universe could only look up to them and could never stand on the same level.
The person who left this text had a few speculations. The Heavenly Stele was very likely to be evolved by those few people with supreme magic power. Every Heavenly Stele recorded the great dao of an absolute peak character.
The person who left this text was more inclined to this speculation. He was fortunate enough to cultivate a few ancient Heavenly Stele, but unfortunately, he was unable to evolve the Heavenly Stele. Moreover, he couldn't even live forever. In the end, he fell.
The second speculation was filled with a mysterious aura. It said that the Heavenly Stele came from a mysterious world. That region was a strange place that transcended beyond the myriad of worlds.
There was even a further speculation that all the cultivation methods originated from that mysterious world. That was the origin of the myriad of worlds.
Moreover, this speculation was extremely shocking. It was said that it was the only true world. Only in that place could one truly achieve eternal immortality. Otherwise, no matter how brilliant one was and how one looked down on the myriad of worlds, in the end, one would still turn to dust.
This was the second speculation. It made people's imagination run wild.
As for the third speculation, it was a bit strange. It said that the Heavenly Stele was the person and the person was the Heavenly Stele. Although the people who cultivated to the absolute peak were unsurpassable existences in the eyes of the gods, in reality, they did not truly transcend. Instead, they fell into an irreversible predicament and had no choice but to carve their bodies on the stele.
This kind of speculation made Xiao Chen frown. This kind of speculation was really unimaginable. Ordinary people would find it hard to believe.
The fourth speculation was that the Heavenly Stele was the heavenly law. It was formed from the interweaving of the order of the myriad of worlds. It was originally formless, but due to the opening and closing of the primal chaos and the fusion of yin and yang, it turned into a tangible object. In other words, the Heavenly Stele was the materialization of the order of the law, the embodiment of the origin of the great dao.
This kind of speculation was more acceptable. Many experts of all-heavens once had similar thoughts, but according to past historical experience, what the public could speculate was often far from the truth.
Meanwhile, the fifth conjecture was extremely shocking and strange. However, it was still acceptable. According to this type of reasoning, the Heavenly Monuments were tombstones, carved by the most powerful figures when they were alive. After death, they turned into corpses, accumulating over time and month. Even their spiritual essence and unmatched great dao imprints covered the monument's body, thus forming the Heavenly Monuments.
The different guesses all had their own reasons. It was hard to say which was the truth. Xiao Chen even suspected that the five so-called guesses did not touch on the root and could be overturned.
The muddy swamp stretched as far as the eye could see. The water was misty, and a faint black mist lingered in the air. The smell of decay permeated the air.
White bones could be seen everywhere amidst the sludge and filthy swamps. There were even some rotten corpses. Those were the corpses of devils and zombies, emitting a foul stench.
In the depths of the swamp filled with black mist, a gloomy ancient castle stood tall. It was lonely and indescribably terrifying.
Xiao Chen had already left the depths of the World of Death. He vaguely felt uneasy and felt that it was time for him to return to the Nine Prefectures to take a look. Perhaps many things had happened in the past few years.
However, before he returned, he needed to do some things in the World of Death. At this moment, he once again arrived at the Land of Familiar Wishes.
In the past, he had once visited this place. It was the residence of the old undead demonic angel. This antique had once fought over the Immemorial Seven Demon Cities and could be considered as a tyrannical creature of the World of Death.
In the swamp, the majestic ancient castle stood tall and upright, shrouded in demonic clouds.
"Bang …"
Following Xiao Chen's arrival, the gates of the ancient castle automatically opened wide. With the Five Emperors Pagoda on his head, he strode in.
"Who dares to barge into my residence?"
The old undead Mo Tian sat on a throne made of white bones and looked down. The huge body of his mount, the Demonic Infernal Dragon King, lay coiled in the spacious hall below.
"An old friend has come to visit. Don't you recognize me?"
"It's you!"
The demonic angel's expression turned sluggish. Then, he pressed his right hand on the throne and leaned back, saying, "What do you want?"
Xiao Chen's sharp senses noticed this detail. As the demonic angel pressed his hand on the throne, a mysterious aura rippled out.
"Buzz …"
The Five Emperors Pagoda trembled and quickly enlarged, enveloping the front.
The gigantic black skeleton of the Earth Demon Dragon King that was coiled on the ground began to vibrate like thunder. It danced in the air, instantly filling up the interior of the magnificent castle, blocking the front and protecting its master.
"Boom …"
However, as the Five Emperors Pagoda descended, the huge black skeleton was smashed into seven pieces on the spot. And this was the result of Xiao Chen showing mercy.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he could instantly crush this Demonic Infernal Dragon King into dust with the Five Emperors Pagoda, which was comparable to the Three Emperors Mirror.
"What are you trying to do?"
The old undead roared. His body was shrouded in radiance, but there was no trace of sinister aura. Instead, he looked very holy. A pair of white wings spread out from his sides, making him look as holy as an angel. He truly lived up to his name — Demonic Angel.
"What message did you send just now?"
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took a big step forward. The Five Emperors Pagoda froze in the air and circulated a misty primal aura that enveloped the demonic angel.
"Swish …"
A divine bone staff embedded with a skull appeared in the old undead's hand. It swept out a wave of divine light towards the Five Emperors Pagoda, but it was useless. All the divine power was absorbed by the ancient pagoda, leaving nothing behind.
"Bang!" Xiao Chen did not say anything. He formed the Five Emperors Seal and pushed it forward.
"Boom …"
A huge wave of divine power rushed out with the force of a landslide. The entire magnificent ancient castle collapsed on the spot, turning into dust in an instant.
The old undead that was enveloped by the Five Emperors Pagoda also cracked like porcelain. His body collapsed in an instant. This was originally a powerful being on the path of a supreme ancestor god, but under the combination of the Five Emperors Pagoda and the Five Emperors Seal, he could not resist at all. This was the manifestation of Xiao Chen's current strength.
Xiao Chen did not force me anymore. He directly searched his spiritual sense.
"You are calling for Void Sky …"
Many things had happened in the Death World in the past few years. Void Sky had issued a bounty. Whoever could provide clues about Xiao Chen would be rewarded with an Immemorial Demon City.
"Alright, I will wait for him here."
At this point, Xiao Chen was not afraid of Daoist Void Sky. After saying all this, he started to refine the Demonic Angel and the Demonic Infernal Dragon King.
He erased their spiritual sense and spiritual roots and refined them into loyal puppets with thoughts.
"I will leave you in the Death World. Summon and befriend other powerful beings. Persuade them to unite and look at the myriad of worlds."
Xiao Chen ordered the old undead that was being refined. He wanted them to stir up a storm here and prepare to march into another world.
Yes, he already had this idea in the past. He wanted to organize a terrifying force in the Death World. However, it was impossible in a short period of time. It required a long period of planning and instigating.
Right now, he definitely could not stay here. Therefore, he had to refine a puppet that had its own thoughts but was also incomparably loyal.
"One day, I will need a magnificent army to charge into the other world. No matter what method you use, you must instigate a turmoil. I need such a powerful force. Unite all the forces that can be united. I can give you time. If one hundred years is not enough, one thousand years is not enough. If one thousand years is not enough, ten thousand years is not enough. If still not enough, then a hundred thousand years … I can wait!"
A magnificent army to charge into the other world and connect the Death World with the other world. This was an idea that Xiao Chen had long since thought of.
"Void Sky, you are finally here …"
Xiao Chen disappeared from where he was and instantly reappeared a hundred li away. A demon city stood high in the sky. Black clouds surged, lingering in the surroundings.
He did not say anything unnecessary. He immediately took out the Five Emperors Pagoda. It enlarged in an instant and attacked the huge city in the sky.
"Boom …"
The Five Emperors Pagoda was not as majestic as the Immemorial Demon City. However, its aura was oppressive. It was like a comet crashing into the earth. It streaked across the sky and illuminated the Death Continent.
In an instant, the sky shook and the earth trembled. The Immemorial Demon City in the sky cracked on the spot. Huge rocks tumbled and broken walls fell down.
Not a single stone tile was wasted. Not a single brick escaped from the Five Emperors Pagoda's absorption. The vast essence contained in the Immemorial Demon City was completely absorbed. Then, it turned into ashes and dissipated.
The Five Emperors Pagoda devoured the Immemorial Demon City, taking its essence and discarding its impurities to make itself even more perfect.
A figure rushed out and quickly fled into the distance.
"Void Sky, where do you think you are going?!"
Xiao Chen was no longer the same as before. Stone armor covered his entire body. He activated the Five Emperors Pagoda and locked that person in place.
"Bang …"
The figure was torn into pieces. That figure gradually faded and disappeared in the Five Emperors Pagoda.
"Xiao Chen, you have exceeded my expectations. However, don't be too proud. You will die in five hundred years. I will become a monarch. No matter what kind of treasure you have, it will not be able to protect your life. Five hundred years later, I will definitely kill you!"
The one who stretched out his neck to wait for death was only an incarnation. Void Sky was exceptionally cautious. He had never exposed his true body.
Xiao Chen left helplessly. Soon after, he saw the seven Immemorial Demon Cities in the shape of the Big Dipper several hundred thousand li away.
"Hey, that is …"
The seven Immemorial Demon Cities were burning fiercely. Boundless essence soared into the sky and surged towards the Emperor City in the sky. The seven Immemorial Demon Cities were collapsing. The stone golems in the center were also cracking and burning.
Meanwhile, that Emperor City was becoming more and more resplendent. Even the Stone Monarch's expression changed.
"Boom …"
Just at this moment, a sonic boom came from the distant sky. A huge city appeared. It was actually Celestial City. It had appeared in the Death World.
A huge stone axe appeared in the sky, protecting Celestial City as it advanced.
"The Pangu Axe appeared here to protect Celestial City. How could this be?"
Xiao Chen's heart was filled with doubts.
"You still owe me three ancestral gods' souls …"
Just at this moment, such a spiritual fluctuation was transmitted from Celestial City.
Xiao Chen blushed with shame. He had never been able to fulfill this promise.
"However, I don't need it anymore. I have already used other methods to ignite a strand of Celestial City's vitality, allowing it to radiate its former might once again."
"Are you the Celestial Sovereign? Didn't you already fall?"
Xiao Chen gazed at the huge city in the sky in bewilderment.
"The Celestial Sovereign has never fallen. He has always existed …"
Hearing these words, Xiao Chen's expression immediately changed. Many of the mysterious events in the past gradually had a vague outline. The Celestial Sovereign was still alive, appearing in the Death World …
"The Three Sovereigns don't know the Three Sovereigns, the Five Sovereigns don't know the Five Sovereigns. I am the Celestial Sovereign, but who is the real Celestial Sovereign?"
This was the last voice issued by Celestial City. After that, it let out a loud rumble and merged with the Emperor City in the sky.
"Boom …"
The seven Immemorial Demon Cities crumbled and merged with the Emperor City in the sky. After that, the huge Celestial City turned into a stream of light and tore through the barrier of the big world. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, several powerful divine senses arrived at this place. They were definitely the powerful divine senses belonging to the Stone King.
Xiao Chen shivered inwardly, the tyrannical creatures of the Death World were really terrifying. He used the Five Emperors Pagoda to isolate himself from the outside world.
In the end, Xiao Chen appeared on the demon's plain in the world of immortals. He returned to this world from a demonic cave.
The earth trembled, he saw a Monarch Lion Dragon running. This world was not like the Nine Provinces that stepped into the era of science and technology. The seeds of life that were sown in the world of immortals once again entered the era of gods and demons.
Very soon, Xiao Chen locked onto this Monarch Lion Dragon and obtained a lot of information from its brain.
Suddenly, his expression froze. He never thought that several thousand years had already passed. He had missed the thirty thousand year promise.
Xiao Chen released the Monarch Lion Dragon and walked forward on foot. After several thousand miles, he left the demon's plain and entered a barren mountain that made him feel uneasy.
The ancient veins had collapsed, rocks were everywhere. Many mountain peaks had already split open and collapsed on the ground. All of this was caused by a huge dragon ship.
The hull of the ship crashed into this barren mountain range, it was hidden among the rocky mountains.
The Ancestral Dragon Ship was already decayed, the divine power contained inside had already been exhausted. The Heavenly Wood and the keel were already rotten, so much so that an unpleasant smell was emitted.
It could be seen that there were a lot of black bloodstains inside the ship. They had already dried up a long time ago, even the wind and rain couldn't wash them away.
Xiao Chen was expressionless as he walked forward. He already knew everything that happened after the Ancestral Dragon Ship fell into the world of immortals from the mouth of the natives.
The people who left in the past were all dead, they were already buried by someone. This was really a huge nightmare. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, it made his heart fluctuate uncontrollably. It was hard for him to calm down.
The inside of the ship was completely empty. Other than the bloodstains, nothing else was left behind.
"Who exactly did this?"
Xiao Chen gnashed his teeth in anger. He had never felt this much hatred in the past several thousand years. Those outstanding people's deaths were really not worth it!
Who exactly was the one who caused this bloody incident? He really wanted to know. He wanted to avenge the dead.
He recalled the scene he saw in the Emperor's Mausoleum. At the crossroads of the Emperor's Mausoleum with the real world as the node, the Ancestral Dragon Ship once passed by, and there was a black figure chasing after it.
"It was that person who did all of this … …"
Could it be that everyone died? Not a single person survived? Xiao Chen didn't know, it was very hard for him to accept this reality.
The Ancestral Dragon had already sent off the first batch of outstanding people like Yao Shun countless years ago. Xing Tian, Chiyou and the others were the second batch of people that were sent off in the later eras.
Yao Shun and the others should have survived … … Xiao Chen thought like this, but where were they now?
"They couldn't keep the appointment and died in a foreign land. The murderer is still roaming free and unfettered, I missed the thirty thousand year appointment … …"
Xiao Chen stood on the decaying Ancestral Dragon Ship like a fossil, he didn't move an inch.
