Miracle reappears

Chapter 496: A Miracle Reappears

At this moment, Lin Fan was even more puzzled and shocked. How could there be a Heavenly Court ruin here?

He recalled what had happened before and felt that it wasn't that simple; the scenes that appeared during the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have genuinely existed.

Subsequently, Lin Fan couldn't help but want to investigate further, continuing forward, observing carefully, and wanting to see Liu Ma for answers.

In the Pure Land, white mist shrouded everything, colorful clouds danced, Immortal Qi wafted, and small rivers flowed, all of them rivers of spiritual power.

This was somewhat breathtaking, with surging essence and a myriad of colors, gushing forth!

It could be seen that the small rivers converged, flowing towards the innermost part of the ruins, forming a lake in that misty Chaos-shrouded area.

Lin Fan was startled, because that area was the most special, looking incredibly sacred, and possessing a sense of solemnity and grandeur.

By the lakeside, there were some ancient temples, also dilapidated and collapsed, but hints of various patterns carved upon them were still vaguely visible.

In the glorious Heavenly Court, Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals stood, along with all the spirits of the Universe, worshipping a blurry figure and a Willow Tree.

“Liu Ma is actually connected to the mysterious Heavenly Court, and is its Zu Ji Ling!” Lin Fan’s heart pounded.

“Boom!”

Just then, a burst of light rose, slightly dispelling the mist, and a tree appeared within, rooted on the opposite side of the great lake.

It was verdant, tinged with light gold, like emerald inlaid with a golden edge, emitting a soft halo, which was the source of the commotion.

“Liu Ma!” Lin Fan cried out.

There was no mistake; although its color was slightly different from what he had seen in Stone Village, its aura had not changed, making one's mind tranquil at first glance.

At the same time, it was taller than a mountain, a giant tree, towering through the mist, its branches extending into the clouds.

“What happened at the Zu Ji Ling Ancestral Land?”

“Oh my god, how many tens of thousands of years has it been? Zu Ji Ling's branch has actually revived and manifested its true form!”

Behind them, one powerful tribe after another was startled, many living beings trembling, their hearts both shocked and excited.

At this moment, even the Heavenly Gods of the Eight-Armed Soul Race, Ancient Demon Race, Centaur Race, and others were shocked and dumbfounded.

One must know that even they could not see her on ordinary days; even with secret sacrificial methods, they could only see a section of a branch, lying across the dilapidated ancient temple.

“Heavenly Emperor, you have returned!” The Willow Tree emitted a soft light, transmitting a message to Lin Fan.

“Uh… Liu Ma, are you calling me?” Lin Fan's emotions surged as he looked at this Willow Tree.

“Eons have passed, years have changed, and one epoch after another has gone by. Finally, in this generation, I see you again!”

The Willow Tree sighed, as if reminiscing, as if crossing the long river of time, with fragments of time flying, a stunning sight.

At this time, the Heavenly Gods among the indigenous people, leading many of their tribesmen, rushed over to the Zu Ji Ling Ancestral Land they guarded.

“Who is that person, daring to secretly infiltrate our Immortal Ancient Remnant Ancestral Land? Is he courting death?!” Someone said coldly, wanting to act.

However, the Heavenly Gods of the major tribes waved their hands, stopping their tribesmen from advancing, and at the same time, they were all incredibly surprised.

“How does that person look like the Heavenly Emperor recorded in the temple, that legendary supreme figure?!”

A Heavenly God felt it was unbelievable, and the others, hearing this, almost dropped their jaws upon seeing him. How many years had it been?

As far as they knew, this Heavenly Court ruin had existed since the previous epoch, or even longer.

This also meant that the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court's master, the son of Zu Ji Ling in the murals, was terrifyingly ancient!

If he were still alive now, reaching this generation, how terrifying would he be? Only an immortal being could exist for so long, right?

“Boom!”

The dilapidated ancient temple trembled, various carvings on the architecture glowed, and large swathes of mysterious symbols rose, gathering on Lin Fan's body, making him incredibly sacred.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, Lin Fan let out a loud roar, his black hair flying, and he abruptly looked up, his eyes instantly hollow, as if he had become a different person.

Overwhelming sacred light erupted, his body burned fiercely, like a Heavenly Emperor returning to life from endless ages.

What was happening? All the Immortal Ancient Remnants were dumbfounded!

“Oh my god, a miracle reappears, the Heavenly Emperor has truly returned from Reincarnation!” A Heavenly God exclaimed, speaking with such shock.

Presently, the other Heavenly Gods all looked solemn, their eyes gleaming with Divine Might. This was absolutely a momentous event, shaking the ages!

“Rumble!”

The divine light vibrated again, as if connecting to the future, borrowing supreme Divine Might, and merging into Lin Fan's body, transforming him completely.

His aura was too sharp, his pupils deep and piercing, the light he shot out was like an Immortal Sword, making it impossible for people to look directly, as if it could cleave this Universe.

The next moment, his fluctuations tore through the sky; that aura was too terrifying, and all the indigenous people couldn't help but kneel, including the Heavenly Gods.

“Heavenly… Emperor!” People stammered.

Furthermore, they felt that this was the manifestation of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, stepping out of the river of time, descending upon this generation, overlooking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Before him, any god or demon was insignificant, not worth mentioning, all had to prostrate themselves and kowtow; the Heavenly Emperor's Qi was unparalleled!

Just as recorded on the architecture, it was an unprecedented spectacle: a Heavenly Emperor, suppressing all heavens, worshipped by all living beings in the world.

Presently, only the golden Willow Tree remained unaffected, peaceful and tranquil, because it was the Ancient Heavenly Court's Zu Ji Ling, the Heavenly Emperor's mother!

It was a long while later that this terrifying aura and powerful pressure disappeared, bringing peace back to the place.

“Phew… that was close!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having been suffocated at that moment. Then they staggered to their feet, but still felt lingering fear.

And their gazes had changed; they no longer dared to get too close, a sense of awe rising in their hearts, only able to watch from afar.

At the same time, the divine light vanished, the symbols receded, leaving Lin Fan's body and returning to the carvings on the architecture, as if nothing had ever happened.

Lin Fan, however, frowned, having just entered a mysterious state, feeling very peculiar, as if he was overlooking the ages, unprecedentedly powerful.

It gave him a delusion of returning to a certain era, revered by all races, respected by the world, yet it felt incredibly real, as if it had happened just yesterday.

“Liu Ma, what just happened?” Lin Fan asked, his mind still unsettled.

At the same time, he wanted to know more, to understand the past of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

“Some things cannot be spoken, cannot be told. Only by experiencing and feeling them yourself can you truly understand,” the light golden Willow Tree said.

At this moment, one of her branches rested on Lin Fan's arm, and she saw another Willow God, some images of her true body.

Of course, this was intentional on Lin Fan's part, to tell her everything about the outside world.

“Why?” Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

“I am merely a section of a branch, with incomplete memories, not my true body. And some matters involve immense Karma, which would trigger major events in the river of time. Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to remember!”

The Willow Tree swayed; she was not her true body, but merely a withered branch. If Lin Fan hadn't arrived, she wouldn't have been awakened.

Furthermore, her ability to survive in the ancient temple for so long was already a miracle.

“Is that so…” Lin Fan mused.
