Undying Life - Chapter 784: The Departure of the Great Qin

Chapter 784: Chapter 784: The Departure of the Great Qin

The massive skylight-like hole in the sky slowly began to close. The surrounding damaged space quickly healed, but the hearts of Zhong Shan and the others could not recover as easily. How could there be such a vast difference between celestial emperors?

A great power from the Great Thousand World, and yet one of their strikes was forcefully repelled by Ying, breaking their bones?

Watching this scene, Zhong Shan broke out in a cold sweat, and so did Kong Lietian in the distance.

This Ying, he’s not human!

If anyone tells me again that the Great Qin is merely a celestial dynasty, I will argue with them! Can an emperor of a celestial dynasty, without relying on luck, break a great power’s bones with a single strike?

Ying withdrew his hand and looked at the former position of the “skylight,” his eyes indifferent.

At that moment, the Sacred Capital of Xianyang beneath him slowly began to rise, gradually detaching from the earth. With a sound like an earthquake, the immense city of Xianyang began to move towards the northern black passage, slowly entering it.

This scene didn’t require Ying to worry any further; everything was managed by Guiguzi.

Ying turned and looked towards Zhong Shan.

“Zhong Shan, I shall leave you with one more piece of advice!” Ying said with a faint smile.

Though Ying’s voice was not loud, it mysteriously reached Zhong Shan’s ears.

“Please, enlighten me!” Zhong Shan slightly bowed towards Ying.

“The Small Thousand World is like a dream or illusion, like dew or lightning. Only the Great Thousand World is real. Ascension is merely breaking through the illusion. Only by opening the heavens can one turn dreams into reality!” Ying said.

As the rumbling continued, the Sacred Capital of Xianyang slowly entered the black passage. The enormous black passage also gradually shrank.

“Thank you for your guidance!” Zhong Shan slightly bowed in the direction of Ying’s departure.

The black passage grew smaller and smaller until it completely closed, with Xianyang entirely entering it. Ying had taken the Great Qin away, leaving the Small Thousand World behind.

Boom!

As the passage closed, another powerful spatial collision occurred, creating a vast black hole at that point, shattering the surrounding space.

“Like a dream or illusion? Like dew or lightning?” Zhong Shan pondered as he watched the immense spatial rupture.

Is this the dream? Only by opening the heavens can one turn dreams into reality?

Zhong Shan felt a slight epiphany. Meanwhile, the vast spatial rupture slowly healed.

The once-mighty Sacred Capital of Xianyang had transformed into a vast ocean. The Great Qin had become a thing of the past, leaving this Small Thousand World with no trace of the Great Qin.

Only the legends remained, impossible to forget.

Zhong Shan took a deep breath. His eyes, once filled with a distant longing, suddenly focused sharply ahead.

Daojun Shenya, Kong Lietian, and Toad Lai had surrounded Zhong Shan and Di Xuansha.

“Daojun Shenya, do you think you can stop me?” Zhong Shan said gravely.

Daojun Shenya looked at Zhong Shan with utmost seriousness.

“Didn’t the Ancestor manage to kill your doppelganger?” Daojun Shenya raised an eyebrow.

“Kill? You mean Kong Xuan?” Zhong Shan revealed a confident, wicked smile.

That smile, full of confidence, made Daojun Shenya uncomfortable.

“Execute Immortals!” Daojun Shenya suddenly called out.

Toad Lai nodded.

“Executioner Sword Formation!”

With Toad Lai’s loud shout, an infinite amount of sword energy suddenly erupted from all directions. From the east, a fierce executioner sword stood imposing, exuding a murderous aura. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏(.)com

The shadowy images appeared in the south, west, and north, forming a complete Executioner Sword Formation. Could the formation be established with just the Executioner Sword alone?

“Without the support of the Great Xuan’s power, I wonder how you will escape this time,” Daojun Shenya sneered.

Two days earlier, at the Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

The court session was canceled for the day. Zhong Shan, accompanied by his ministers, stood outside the Longevity Hall. Zhong Shan knew something significant was about to happen; the sensation of being calculated had become increasingly intense.

Zhong Shan’s shadow body waited with closed eyes, enveloped in a heavy and silent atmosphere. Standing before the Longevity Hall, Zhong Shan frowned slightly.

Calculations? Another calculation?

Besides Kong Xuan, the shadow body sensed another person’s calculation through the Heavenly Secrets **. Who could it be?

Guiguzi? Ying? Unlikely, they had no reason to. Could someone else in this Small Thousand World perform calculations?

Zhong Shan waited with a furrowed brow.

As the full moon rose high into the sky,

Cough, cough, cough…

Coughing sounds suddenly echoed from all directions, making Zhong Shan’s pupils contract. He looked up.

A figure stood in the position of the moon—a youthful-looking man in a green robe.

However, this youth appeared very strange, with numerous cracks on his face, like a broken porcelain doll glued back together, exuding an eerie aura.

The youth had green eyelids, and as he looked down at Zhong Shan, a deep green light flickered in his eyes, a light that seemed to penetrate the soul.

The youth held a handkerchief, coughing continuously, as if gravely injured.

There was no oppressive aura; his presence could not be sensed at all, as if he were one with the world. Without seeing him, no one would know he was there.

A youth?

“Are you Kong Xuan?” Zhong Shan took a deep breath and asked.

“You know me?” The youth’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“I am Zhong Shan, ruler of the Great Xuan. Greetings, Peacock King Kong Xuan!” Zhong Shan said solemnly.

“You even know my origin? However, you must die today!” Kong Xuan said gravely.

As he spoke, a cold glint appeared in Kong Xuan’s eyes. At that moment, many ministers of the Great Xuan felt a chill, lowering their heads in fear.

Kong Xuan didn’t even glance at the ministers, as if they were not even worthy of being ants in his presence.

“Whether I die or not, we’ll have to see!” Zhong Shan said sternly.

“See? Hahaha, boy, it’s been years since anyone dared to talk to me like that. I’ve heard of your cunning, Zhong Shan. You wouldn’t say such foolish things unless you had some reliance,” Kong Xuan said, narrowing his eyes.

“Reliance? I only rely on myself!” Zhong Shan replied firmly.

With that, Zhong Shan’s figure flickered and sped towards the South Heaven Gate, covering a thousand miles in an instant.

Kong Xuan didn’t stop him but squinted at the Lingxiao Heavenly Court. With a single glance, Kong Xuan saw through it, realizing there was nothing there to threaten him. With a cold smile, Kong Xuan’s figure flickered and disappeared, reappearing above the South Sea. Zhong Shan soon arrived at the South Heaven Gate and quickly flew out.

The Lingxiao Heavenly Court had been moved to the South Sea to maximize the power of the Great Xuan without harming its foundation.

The battle between Zhong Shan and Kong Xuan was something no one else could interfere with. However, Zhong Shan had thought of a way for his ministers to play a role.

Back in the present, the Executioner Sword Formation surrounded Zhong Shan and Di Xuansha. The intense sword aura radiated from all directions, filling the air with killing intent.

Daojun Shenya and Kong Lietian, along with Toad Lai, were determined to prevent Zhong Shan’s escape.

“Do you really think you can stop me?” Zhong Shan’s voice was calm but firm.

“Ancestor didn’t manage to kill your shadow body?” Daojun Shenya raised an eyebrow.

“Kill? You mean Kong Xuan?” Zhong Shan’s lips curled into a confident, wicked smile.

The confidence in that smile made Daojun Shenya uneasy.

“Execution!” Daojun Shenya suddenly commanded.

Toad Lai nodded.

“Executioner Sword Formation!”

With Toad Lai’s shout, infinite sword energy erupted from all directions. From the east, the fierce Executioner Sword stood tall, exuding a murderous aura.

Yi Yan received Zhong Shan’s hint and, instead of following the ministers to observe at the South Heaven Gate, retreated alone into a heavily guarded hall within the palace. The area was of utmost importance, guarded heavily by the Great Xuan soldiers. No one besides Zhong Shan and Yi Yan was allowed to step inside.

Upon entering the hall, Yi Yan closed the door with a loud bang.

Boom!

As the door shut, sharp screams filled the air.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

Numerous mice screamed within the hall, where many cages were set up, each containing a mouse. Thanks to the spiritual energy nourishing the hall, the mice remained alive.

Yi Yan looked at the mice and, with a wave of his hand, cast a spell.

Bang!

A group of mice perished under Yi Yan’s hand. Following a specific sequence, he killed the mice in batches.

In the southwest of Shenzhou, in a secluded valley.

Clay Buddha, Wang Ku, and Mr. Corpse sat in the valley, waiting with closed eyes, surrounded by numerous jade plaques.

“The ‘Heavenly Secrets **’ imparted by His Majesty is truly extraordinary. Even in the Great Thousand World, it is a rare advanced cultivation technique!” Wang Ku said seriously.

“Many secret techniques of the Small Thousand World are not necessarily inferior to those of the Great Thousand World. Many Great Thousand World techniques originated from the Small Thousand World,” Mr. Corpse nodded.

“Do you think Kong Xuan can predict our presence near the Immortal Realm?” Clay Buddha asked, frowning.

“Impossible. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn’t have taught us the Heavenly Secrets **,” Mr. Corpse shook his head.

“Indeed.”

Boom! Boom!

The jade plaques in front of them exploded one after another in batches. The three of them watched intently.

“Daojun Shenya, the Executioner Sword, and Kong Lietian are heading to the Great Qin. Kong Xuan has arrived at the Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Proceed to the Immortal Realm immediately; do not waste a single moment!” Clay Buddha read aloud.

The three exchanged glances and then stood up together.

“Clay Buddha, the Immortal Realm might still have Ye Qingcheng and the Trapping Immortal Sword. Find out the location of the object Kong Xuan is guarding quickly. We must coordinate our efforts! Be fast! If Kong Xuan detects us, we are in trouble,” Mr. Corpse said seriously.

“Understood!”

“Let’s go!” The three of them stepped forward, shooting towards the Immortal Realm.

Above the South Sea, Zhong Shan faced Kong Xuan.

“Such speed. I thought my speed had reached the limit of this world, but I didn’t expect…” Zhong Shan frowned.

“A strange body, a peculiar constitution. Your speed is indeed fast, but my movement isn’t limited to speed alone. Someone from outside this world, let me see what makes you different!” Kong Xuan said with a hint of curiosity.

Someone from outside this world? As expected, just as Ying could deduce that Zhong Shan was from another world, so could Kong Xuan.
