In the twenty-fifth year, things changed.
In the chaos of the ancient era, something went wrong!
The Eternal Heaven Palace sent many cultivators there, but Jiang Feng and the other people who participated in the heaven's trial were not among them. The leading people were about a dozen white-haired old men.
The old chess player who had welcomed Jiang Feng was also present. Other than the dozen or so elders, no one else followed.
The chaotic region of the ancient era was a forbidden zone that had existed for eternity, and it had the legacy of order.
Five thousand years ago, the Ancient Illumination Ruins had broken into the forbidden zone and never returned.
Jiang Feng had wanted to go take a look a long time ago, but he didn't have the chance. This time, the ancient times were chaotic, a message suddenly came to him, he had no choice but to pay attention to any changes.
But right now, he couldn't go with them. He could only wait.
One day later, news was sent back that all ten elders of the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace had been wounded. They then stopped the news and ordered everyone to not go near the chaotic region of the ancient era.
After this news was spread, even fools knew that something extraordinary had happened. The atmosphere of Sky City had become stifling.
Jiang Feng asked everywhere for information, but he still did not know what exactly happened there. Thus, after a few days without any results, he left the Eternal Heaven Palace without permission and went to the mountain range outside the chaotic ancient era.
Old Daoist Hengtian had always lived in this place. He was definitely one of those people who understood the chaotic situation of the ancient era.
Only, in this place, Jiang Feng did not find Old Daoist Heng Tian, as the place he was staying at had long since ceased to exist.
Jiang Feng's mind revealed a thought, and he expanded his search range.
In the end, he finally found Old Man Heng Tian, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away. He lived in a cave, looking like a hidden old man.
"Come, sit." It was no wonder that in the vast Primal Chaos Heaven Realm, only Jiang Feng and he were from the same world, so naturally, they were very close.
Jiang Feng sat down and watched as Old Daoist Heng Tian busied himself with his stuff. He lit a bonfire and started to heat a jug of wine.
All these years, even though Jiang Feng could freely move about, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, he had never come to see Elder Heng Tian. Seeing this old man right now, his heart also felt a little warmth, as if he was meeting his closest kin.
"Come, have a drink. Warm up your body. If you have anything to say, say it slowly. Coincidentally, I also have something to ask you." Elder Heng Tian greeted.
Jiang Feng picked up the wine and greedily took a sniff. This was the wine from his hometown that he missed so much.
"Senior, I came here this time to inquire about the chaotic ancient era." Jiang Feng went straight to the point.
I knew it." He also took a sip of the old wine and let out a long sigh, before he slowly said, "Gu Zhaosu, ever since we went to the Anarchic Lands, I have been suspecting whether he was dead or not. But now, it seems that he isn't. Not long ago, there was a big problem with the ancient era's order and it started to crumble. I suspect that Gu Zhaoming was attacking us and that he had been hiding in seclusion for more than five thousand years, perhaps only starting to make a move now, but the result might not be good, the disturbance only lasted for a short period of time and then it disappeared without a trace. Afterwards, about ten elders of the Heavenly Temple went and all of them became great saints.
After hearing what the Old Daoist Hengtian said, Jiang Feng's expression turned serious.
Since ancient times, only three people had successfully entered the forbidden zone.
The first one to enter was the founder of the Divine Realm. Countless tens of thousands of years ago, he had fought his way into this forbidden zone. After so many years had passed, he feared that he had already failed.
The second person, the Yin Yang Emperor, had personally said that he would return, giving Jiang Feng a strand of hope.
Five thousand years ago, he had fought his way into the chaotic land of the ancient era. Although his cultivation might not be as high as that of the Yin-Yang Emperor, he might still be alive if he were to win in the shortest amount of time possible. If he failed, that would be no different from losing his life.
"Perhaps, it's not that pessimistic. The ten elders of the Heavenly Temple are also injured. It can't be that the Power of Order has injured them, so it's best to continue watching." Elder Heng Tian said.
"Right." Jiang Feng nodded his head heavily, and then, he told Old Daoist Hengtian about what he had experienced.
After Old Daoist Hengtian finished listening, he almost threw the wine pot in his hands onto the ground and looked at Jiang Feng with a face full of shock, "You said that you gathered all of the destructive sources?"
"That's right." Jiang Feng nodded, his expression serious.
"My god." Old Man Hengtian gasped for breath, and looked outside. Although there was no one around, he was still at the door, and had set up another array formation, isolating himself from view. He then looked towards Jiang Feng: "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Jiang Feng said with a smile, and then, he took out the Origin of Annihilation.
"Hurry up and put it away." This was a great weapon capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. It was one of the universe's source energies, and once released, no matter what civilization it was, it would be unable to resist. It would instantly be razed to the ground, as if it had never appeared in the universe before.
This kind of legendary thing, Old Daoist Hengtian had only heard about it, and had never imagined it would appear on Jiang Feng. It was simply too shocking.
"What are you going to do?" Elder Heng Tian asked.
"Enter the Heavenly Dao to test and detonate the Origin of Destruction in the Heavenly Dao. At that time, the Realm of Primal Chaos will be destroyed and the universe will be restored to its original order." Jiang Feng said.
Old Man Hengtian's eyes suddenly lit up with hope, "That's for the best. If you can succeed, then you can be considered to be benefiting all the living beings in the universe."
"However, there is now some bad news. As far as I know, there are many ways to prepare all the Heavenly Palaces, including the selection of manpower, the preparation of various supplies, and the preparation for a purge. On the one hand, they have already started sending people to other planes to sweep the area, and I feel that all the opportunities they are waiting for are just to attack the Nine Heavens Immortal World. Jiang Feng voiced out his concerns.
"Wait." Old Daoist Heng Tian pondered for a long time before saying this word.
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, he roughly understood the meaning of Old Man Heng Tian's words, thus he nodded his head: "Thank you senior for your guidance."
"If there's anything you need help with, just come find me. I have a body full of old bones that can be used at any time. Even if I die, I have no regrets." Old Daoist Heng Tian spoke indifferently, as he had long since cast life and death at the back of his mind.
For some reason, hot tears welled up in Jiang Feng's eyes.
It was a very calm sentence. If there was anything that he needed help with, he could just go and ask for help. He had a body full of old bones that could be used at any time without any regrets.
Being alone in a foreign land and protecting the Ancient Illumination Ruins, not ten years, a hundred years, but a thousand years, ten thousand years ? this kind of loneliness, who could understand?
Jiang Feng did not stay in the cave for long, for fear of arousing suspicion from the people of the Immortal Heavenly Palace.
"Where did he go?"
Just as Jiang Feng returned to the Heavenly Palace, a cold voice came from above.
Jiang Feng's cold eyes swept over, and discovered that Flowing Sword was standing not far away, staring at him with a pair of indifferent eyes.
"Let's go out for a walk." Jiang Feng indifferently replied. Towards this person, he did not have any good impressions of him. He was a proud and aloof youth, and his words were spoken in a weird tone.
"The situation right now is grim. You should know that there is still space for you to wander around outside. Does this represent your position?" Liujian asked, his tone carrying a questioning tone.
"My attitude is to participate in the Heavenly Dao Trial and fight for the Heaven Realm of Primal Chaos and for the unification of the universe. Do you know my attitude?" Jiang Feng said coldly. Since they were both participants of the Heavenly Law Trial, and the opponent had only been in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, that did not mean that the opponent's position was higher than his.
"I hope you can maintain this attitude forever. Remember your mission, and don't learn from that traitor." Flowing Sword warned.
"I should tell you that." Jiang Feng sneered.
Liu Jian squinted slightly, a bright light shot out from his eyes, he placed his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Feng, and could not help but want to attack.
Twenty-five years ago, when this fellow entered the Eternal Heaven Palace, he broke his chess piece, and even borrowed his chess piece to defeat the elder, causing him to lose face. He even wanted to find a chance to cause Jiang Feng some trouble, and now that Jiang Feng had spoken so unyieldingly, the urge to make his move became even stronger.
"I like people who are tough. It would be best if you go to the Heavenly Law for a test and be so stubborn. The elder wants me to inform you that in three days, the Lord of the Immortal Palace will convene a grand meeting. At that time, there will be an announcement that you must be there." After Flowing Sword finished speaking, he waved his robe and calmly left.
Jiang Feng watched as the other party left, his expression calm. He just did not know what kind of major event it would be, to be announced in three days.
He hadn't seen the leader of the Heavenly Palace in his 25 years of life. Now, he could finally meet him again.
Thinking up to here, Jiang Feng also had some anticipation in his heart.
After returning to the residence, Jiang Feng coincidentally met Old Black, and told him about the matter. Old Black already knew, it seemed like Liujian came here to notify him first, then went to wait outside.
As for the old man that had just joined, Jiang Feng was not very familiar with him, so Old Black had nothing to say to him.
This old man was extremely solitary. He held an ancient sword in his hands every day as he contemplated, as though he was a stranger that was not allowed to get too close to him.
Previously, Jiang Feng and Laohei had also exchanged a few words with him, but they were both ignored. From then on, the two of them did not greet this person anymore.
"What major event will be announced in three days?" Jiang Feng asked Old Black.
"I'm not too sure. I just heard that the people who went out to clean up the various planes are coming back. Perhaps there will be a welcoming meeting." Laohei said as he pleased.
Hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded slightly and did not ask any further.
Three days later, in a large plaza of the Heavenly Immortal Palace, it was completely paved with white jade-like stones. They emitted a gentle luster, as if they were unpolished jades.
Every single stone here, if one obtained the Nine Heavens Immortal World s, were like supreme treasures, but in this place, they could only be used to lay on the ground, and were so luxurious that it would cause one's tongue to clench.
When Jiang Feng and Old Black arrived at the plaza, there were already dozens of people gathered there. Most of them were elderly people, and some were young.
Jiang Feng was surprised to see that there were only these few cultivators in charge of the everlasting world. However, he guessed that these people were probably only present in the Heavenly Palace at the moment, and there were still a lot of people doing missions outside.
In addition, there was definitely another great character that had yet to appear.
"We invite the palace master!"
Just at this moment, an elder shouted, and everyone bowed.
Jiang Feng also learned from others and respectfully invited the Mistress.
Soon after, an old man could be seen striding through the air like a dragon or tiger, slowly walking towards them.
With every step he took, brilliant rays of light erupted in the air, as countless constellations appeared.
In a blink of an eye, this golden-cloaked old man arrived at the plaza.
With his arrival, the atmosphere in the entire plaza changed.
Everyone had a lot of pressure on their shoulders as well.
Jiang Feng was extremely shocked. The master of the Heavenly Palace must be an expert who had already stepped into the second level of the Emperor Profound Realm. The aura his body exuded was obviously different from that of a saint's.
Saints cultivate by controlling order, while the aura on this old man's body allowed the power of order from the heavens to enter his body. It was something that with just a thought, could change all living things in the world.
A true Emperor Level 2 cultivator was a supreme expert, on the same level as the Yin Yang Emperor.
"No need for formalities." The immortal palace lord spoke, his voice resplendent and boundless, as if an emperor had descended to this world. His bearing was extraordinary.
Everyone stood up and kept quiet.
"I've gathered everyone here for a meeting this time because I have a matter to announce. Amongst the great purges of the Myriad Heavens, the only thing that's slightly troublesome is the Nine Heavens Immortal World, according to the laws of heaven, there are too many uncertain numbers in that Nine Heavens Immortal World, so the original plan needs to be brought forward, at most a hundred years, to set out and attack the Nine Heavens Immortal World, razing that place to the ground."
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao trial will end in a hundred years. Therefore, no more cultivators will be sent out to participate in the trial. All preparatory cultivators can join the Heavenly Palace and become part of the Heavenly Palace.
The Lord of the Immortal Palace said in a clear voice.
After these words were spoken, the one who was the most shaken in his heart was Jiang Feng. He had already waited for twenty-five years, just to participate in the heaven's trial, so that he could ignite the source of destruction there.
Right now, the Lord of the Immortal Palace suddenly announced that he was not planning to send anyone to participate in the heaven's trial. After a hundred years, he would gather an army and set out for the Nine Heavens Immortal World.
He had originally been considering whether he should wait for the next nine hundred and eighty years, but now, it seemed that he didn't even have the chance to wait.
When the last batch of participants returned, they would have to start attacking the Nine Heavens Immortal World, leaving Jiang Feng only with a hundred years.
A mere hundred years was simply too short, especially in the Primal Chaos Realm. The cultivation of the cultivators here was extremely high, and they could easily cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years at any time.
If the Primal Chaos Heaven Realm was razed to the ground within a hundred years, what awaited Nine Heavens Immortal World would be destruction.
Although he believed that the YinYang Emperor would leave the forbidden zone, it did not mean that he would be able to contend against the Primal Chaos Realm once he returned.
In a short moment, several thoughts flashed across Jiang Feng's mind.
