Chapter 728 First Hearing of Heaven

Chapter 728: First Hearing of Shangcang

The Corpse Immortal Emperor had fallen, but great secrets still remained deep within the Ultimate Ancient Land. The two approached and looked up, staring at that stone chair.

"Boom!"

Lin Fan struck down with a powerful palm. Suddenly, the heavens and earth here crumbled, and the Immortal Emperor's Dao runes flickered, blooming across the sky.

However, these were useless; they could not block the Divine Might of an Immortal Emperor and were all suppressed.

With a bang, the mountain-sized chair split apart, then exploded, turning into dust and ceasing to exist.

Finally, the obstructions at the end of the Ultimate Ancient Land were gone, and the scene came into view.

Looking ahead, chains of order appeared in the sky, densely intertwined, and there was an opening facing downwards.

Calling it an opening was less accurate than calling it a passage; as for what it connected to, it was unknown for now.

However, the eerie aura seeping through it made both of them look grave.

Most terrifyingly, hanging from the opening in the firmament were black droplets, like black blood, ready to drip down at any moment.

This made one gasp in cold air. Shi Hao was even more confused—what kind of place was that?

Lin Fan's eyes were deep and gloomy. Standing here, he could feel terrifying rules that did not belong to the All Heavens seeping through, causing one's heart to palpitate.

"Whoosh!"

The two leaped up and arrived outside the opening in the firmament.

Vaguely, through this passage, they saw some scenery, including a stele engraved with mysterious characters.

As Immortal Emperors, they were knowledgeable and possessed boundless magical power. After careful study, they quickly understood the general meaning.

"Above Shangcang, eternal and everlasting, Reincarnation cannot cover it, the Supreme Land!"

Clearly, the other side of the passage was called Shangcang, and it involved eternity and Reincarnation, which was truly astonishing.

"Shangcang? What kind of place is that, to dare speak of Reincarnation? Does Reincarnation truly exist in this world?" Shi Hao whispered, lost in thought.

In a hurried glance, Lin Fan also saw a sea through the opening, blood-red and boundless, which made him palpitate.

"The Sacrificial Sea!" He thought to himself, immediately recalling this name.

The so-called Sacrificial Sea did not truly refer to an ocean; it was similar to the Boundary Sea, where one wave was one ruined world, but it was far larger than the Boundary Sea.

This was because what composed it was not just worlds, but countless All Heavens and Myriad Domains. The place where Lin Fan and the others were located was just one of them.

This place was already vast, but the Sacrificial Sea, composed of so many All Heavens, was unimaginably large.

However, to Lin Fan's knowledge, apart from the land of Shangcang and their own world, the rest of the Sacrificial Sea had long been wiped out by the sinister race.

It could be said that the vast majority of the Sacrificial Sea was a dead zone and extremely dangerous.

Brother Di Gu had rashly rushed over and suffered a great loss, being discovered by an Immortal Emperor of the sinister race and ambushed into falling into darkness.

Therefore, the two were in no hurry to explore the unfamiliar world.

"Seal!"

Finally, Lin Fan and Shi Hao unleashed their supreme techniques, using the power of supreme Immortal Emperors to reseal the opening.

After the battle, having swept across this side of the Boundary Sea, quelled the great dark turmoil, and resolved the great menace, it was time for them to leave and return to their homeland.

But before leaving, the two swept through the Ultimate Ancient Land and the Land of Darkness again to ensure no hidden dangers remained.

"Open!"

Subsequently, Lin Fan gave a loud shout. He and Shi Hao opened the Guidance Ancient Palace and tore through the Void Realm, revealing rows of dark cages.

Some cages were empty, but there were still survivors, imprisoning a batch of Primordial Spirits.

These were beings who had inexplicably disappeared over the ages!

Some had encountered mishaps during cultivation and were trapped in cages; some were eroded by darkness, their Primordial Spirits replaced; others had been actively captured—

Without exception, they were all Prodigies of their respective eras. After all, not just anyone could be used by the Guidance Ancient Palace.

In some Guidance Ancient Palaces, there were even Immortal King-level experts, such stunning figures.

However, after being imprisoned for endless years, many beings had lost themselves, become dull, or even gone mad, devouring each other and failing to recognize their true selves.

This was the wound of time!

"Swish!"

Lin Fan and Shi Hao released all the Cultivators and, using supreme Emperor techniques, illuminated the cages, causing the dim beings to gradually revive.

Even those who had devoured each other, becoming existences like the Nine-Headed Monster or nineteen-headed monsters, had their Primordial Spirits separated once again.

"Eh?"

Shi Hao was startled. He had seen an acquaintance in a cage. She wore grey robes, her appearance was stunning, and her bearing was moving.

This woman was most special for her eyes; unlike ordinary people, she had four pupils, which was supernatural and extraordinary.

Undoubtedly, she was a Dual-Pupil holder, a first-generation Prodigy like Shi Yi.

When in the Lower Realm Eight Regions, Shi Hao had once met her and spoken with her.

He just hadn't expected that Lin Fan would also know her.

"So many heroes have fallen into darkness; seeing them again, things are no longer the same." Lin Fan sighed softly.

"Events are unpredictable. I did not expect that the former Devil Emperor would already be above the Immortal King level, severing the cages and sweeping away the disasters. I am inferior to you."

The Dual-Pupil woman also sighed softly, her eyes full of the vicissitudes of life, filled with endless emotion as she recalled an event from her youth.

Back then, during the ancient times of the Three Thousand Provinces, Lin Fan and she were from the same generation, both Prodigies of that era who roamed the world.

In the Immortal Ancient era, the two had even clashed and tested each other, but no winner was decided.

Later, he went to the Nine Heavens harboring hatred, and she never saw him again. She never imagined that two million years had passed, and she had been trapped in the Guidance Ancient Palace.

"Time is ruthless. The old acquaintances of the past have almost all died. It is good to see one again today."

Lin Fan nodded at her and then sent her away from this place.

Next, he saw another woman, beautiful, like a Fairy who had walked out of a painting, also an acquaintance.

"Wang Xi!"

The woman saw Lin Fan, then looked at Shi Hao, her thoughts complex, thinking of people and events from the past, feeling a sense of melancholy.

Back then, she was taken into the Immortal Domain by the Old Ancestor Wang Changsheng, thinking it was a good thing, that she could achieve Immortal Ascension in this world.

Unexpectedly, people can be known by their faces but not their hearts. Instead, she suffered a calamity, and along with all her clansmen, was ruthlessly offered to the darkness by her own Old Ancestor.

Later, she learned that Wang Changsheng had long been possessed by a dark Immortal King; the so-called descendants of the Wang family were nothing but a joke.

As for Wang Changsheng, early on, when the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors led their armies to invade, he was targeted by Meng Tianzheng and killed in the Immortal Domain.

"Your Physical Body is still here." Lin Fan said calmly, without much ripple.

Past grudges meant nothing to an Immortal Emperor; he actually hoped that some people would live well.

Because, after a dark turmoil, too many people had died. Whether it was Lin Fan or Shi Hao, they both felt a sense of loneliness.

"Thank you!" Wang Xi thanked him. Her eyes were quite complex, perhaps because this man had saved her.

"Boom!"

Subsequently, the two gazed into the Void Realm, searched for the imprint, severed the boundary wall, and went to retrieve the Willow Deity and the Little Tower who had been banished before.

"Wahaha, over a hundred thousand years have passed, and you only come to pick us up now? I thought you had died in the Ultimate Ancient Land!"

The Little Tower shouted unloyally; all this time, this had not been a proper tower.

"Lin Fan, Shi Hao!"

At this moment, Willow Deity called out softly, transforming into a human form, peerlessly elegant. Seeing the two safely sweep away the dark turmoil, she was very gratified.

"Congratulations, two Fellow Daoists, for thoroughly ending the turmoil that has lasted through the ages. You have made a great contribution to the All Heavens!"

The remnant will left by the Nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the humanoid Emperor Fire, also revived at this time, congratulating Lin Fan and Shi Hao, very stirred.

The two were also very happy. Even though they were already Immortal Emperors, they could not forget the sentiments of the past. They said: "Let's go, let's go home!"
