Chapter 1069 Golden Immortal Trembles
The white-robed youth's pupils suddenly contracted, a deep, unfathomable doubt flashing across his eyes, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. He had never heard of any connection between the brat Lie Xuan and the old man Xuan Zhen before.
His fingertips unconsciously traced the cold edge of the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror. The chill of the mirror seeped into his soul through his fingertips, calming his chaotic thoughts. He murmured, "Or is someone deliberately creating a smokescreen, intentionally leading me towards that old man Xuanzhen? Using his name as a shield to hide their own tracks?"
The moment the thought arose, the immortal power within his body suddenly surged, like a volcano dormant for billions of years suddenly erupting, its output speed increasing by a factor of three. The white light around him solidified into a tangible substance, resembling a miniature sun suspended in the void, radiating an intense pressure capable of incinerating all things, illuminating the causal lines in the mirror with every detail, revealing even the slightest fluctuations on the lines.
"Let me see who's behind this!" the white-robed youth roared, his voice booming like thunder. His fingertips flashed with lightning speed, almost leaving afterimages, as if countless hands were simultaneously forming hand seals. His incantation pounded like war drums, each word carrying the power to tear through illusion: "Break through illusion to preserve truth, remove falsehood and leave traces, trace cause and effect back to their source, reveal their true form—I command!"
The Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror erupted with dazzling immortal light, so intense that even the heavens paled in comparison. The Dao patterns flowing on the mirror's surface seemed to come alive, rapidly traversing the causal lines and illuminating the line pointing to the Profound True Immortal Realm with ever-increasing clarity. Every spatial fluctuation, every remnant of Daoist rhyme, and every trajectory of time-space jump attached to the line was laid bare, as if reenacting the other party's every move before its very eyes.
......
In the western part of the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm, in the chaotic void near the barrier of the Immortal Realm.
A figure traversed the void, clad in a robe of five-clawed golden dragons. The scales on the robe shimmered with a purple-gold divine light, each seemingly locking away a dragon's domain. With every gesture, the surrounding chaotic energy automatically parted to create a great path, with countless dragon shadows faintly floating behind him, inspiring instinctive awe in all who beheld him. His steps appeared slow, as if strolling leisurely, yet each foot landed precisely on a spatial-temporal node, covering billions of miles with a single stride. His speed was so great that even a perfect half-step Golden Immortal, exhausting all their immortal power, could hardly match his speed.
This person was none other than the illusory spirit in Su Mo's place—Huanglong Zhenren.
Suddenly, Huanglong Zhenren frowned sharply, a hint of solemnity flashing in his dragon eyes. His dragon aura suddenly receded, transforming into an invisible barrier: "This power... such strong deductive ability, it can actually penetrate the boundary barrier and lock onto my whereabouts!"
"As expected, it has attracted the attention of the Immortal Golden Immortal."
Then, a cold smile appeared on his lips, with a hint of composure as if he had expected it all along. "Fortunately, I had the foresight to leave the Nine Domains Continent early on. Otherwise, this time, I'm afraid I would have been completely exposed."
"I wonder which of the nine immortals made the move this time? But trying to deduce our heavenly secrets won't be so easy!"
"I beg my fellow Daoists for your help!"
The next second...
"Thousand Gods Formation, rise!"
A low shout containing the sound of the Great Dao resounded within Huanglong Zhenren's natal sea of time, causing the sea of time to churn. Apart from Su Mo's true form, the remaining 1,499 illusory spiritual bodies appeared simultaneously. Their auras were unified, their movements synchronized, and without the slightest hesitation, they were all distributed around the sea of time, arranged in an extremely profound formation.
Instantly, their bodies shone with celestial light, and countless illusory figures of primordial gods and demons, each hundreds of millions of feet tall, appeared behind them. Their faces were blurred, yet they exuded a world-shattering pressure that could easily crush even a perfect half-step Golden Immortal like the Primordial Ancestor Lie Xuan. In their hands, they held giant axes or grasped galaxies, illuminating the cosmic sea with a bright light.
Even more astonishingly, each of the 1,499 avatars activated a fragmented Immortal Dao. These fragments of Dao, like rivers flowing into the sea, rapidly merged and intertwined, combining in the center of the formation to form a nearly complete Immortal Dao.
Immediately afterwards, Huanglong Zhenren's power began to surge wildly. The primordial immortal power within his body surged like a dam bursting, impacting his limbs and bones. His aura soared at a speed of millions and tens of millions of times. An immortal and indestructible aura radiated from his body, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding chaotic void. The void was twisted into invisible nets by this power.
"Break it for me!"
"Ow..."
A dragon's roar that pierced the heavens and earth erupted from Huanglong Zhenren's mouth. This roar was not a physical sound, but a surging force of the Great Dao condensed from immortal Daoist principles. It flowed upstream along the causal lines, carrying a dragon's might that could tear everything apart, and instantly collided with the silver line reflected in the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror. With a crisp "crack," the indestructible silver line that carried the causal trajectory snapped. Endless chaotic mist, containing the power of the primordial chaos, surged from the break, rapidly spreading out and transforming into a hazy gray barrier, completely obscuring all auras and traces.
No matter how much divine light the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror emitted, it could not penetrate this layer of mist. Like a mud ox entering the sea, it was instantly swallowed up and assimilated. Only chaos remained in the mirror, with no trace of Huanglong Zhenren left, not even a trace of cause and effect.
......
Above the ruins of the Fire Crow Domain, the white-robed youth stared at the chaos that suddenly appeared in the mirror. His face instantly darkened, as if covered by a layer of ice that had been frozen for billions of years. The white light around him was tinged with a chilling killing intent, freezing the surrounding spatial turbulence.
"As expected, an Immortal Golden Immortal is behind this old man Lie Xuan's schemes! This method of severing cause and effect is far beyond the reach of a half-step Golden Immortal." The white-robed youth rubbed the edge of the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror with his fingertips, feeling the unfamiliar aura emanating from it, his brows furrowing. "Such an unfamiliar aura, it's not any of the old man Xuan Zhen's or his group, who exactly is it?"
"Is someone deliberately disguising themselves, or is it truly another immortal being?"
The white-robed youth frowned, his heart churning with turmoil. If it were the former, it was merely internal strife within the Nine Immortal Realms, a struggle for power and fortune—there would always be a way to resolve it; at worst, he could gather the other seven to join forces and exert pressure. But if it were the latter, the consequences would be unimaginable—not every dragon dares to cross the river; an unfamiliar Immortal Golden Immortal had intruded into their territory, which they had cultivated for countless cosmic eras. Their schemes were far from simple; at best, they would seize resources and fortune; at worst, they might overthrow the existing order of the Nine Immortal Realms. A single misstep could lead to a catastrophe for the Nine Immortal Realms, and even they, the Immortal Golden Immortals, might perish.
An Immortal Golden Immortal is immortal and indestructible, with an endless lifespan, but that doesn't mean they are truly immortal. An eternal lifespan is not the same as eternal life. When facing an Immortal Golden Immortal of the same realm or even a higher level, if their Dao foundation is broken and their soul is destroyed, they will completely vanish without even the chance of reincarnation.
As his thoughts raced, the white-robed youth's hands moved even faster, countless profound magic seals raining down into the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror, each seal containing a deeper level of his immortal Dao power.
Instantly, the mirror trembled violently, emitting a hum that seemed unable to bear the weight, and unleashed a divine light several times stronger than before. Streams of immortal Dao patterns flowed and intertwined on the mirror surface, forming countless immortal swords. They actually managed to tear a small opening in the chaotic mist, through which the light and shadow behind the mist could be vaguely seen.
at this time......
Suddenly, a blurry dragon silhouette emerged from the mist. The dragon silhouette was immense, its head and tail almost spanning the entire chaotic void. Its scales shimmered like billions of stars, each scale containing the weight of a universe. A pair of golden vertical pupils radiated an overwhelming pressure, seemingly able to see through eternity. It raised its head and let out an invisible roar, without a deafening sound, yet containing a terrifying power capable of tearing apart the Great Dao. It surged upwards along the rift, like a golden lightning bolt piercing through time and space, crashing fiercely into the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror!
"Om..."
The Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror trembled violently, and fine cracks spread across its surface like a spider web, rapidly expanding and emitting a piercing cracking sound. The crack in the mirror was completely sealed off by the dragon shadow's oppressive aura, and the chaotic mist grew even thicker, like solidified primordial chaos, completely severing his deductions.
"not good……"
The white-robed youth's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously withdrew his divine power probing into the Immortal Mirror, hastily interrupting his deduction. Holding the Immortal Mirror, he looked at the crack that penetrated deep into the mirror's body, a trace of undisguised heartache flashing in his eyes—this damage, without the nurturing of thousands of chaotic eras, would never be able to recover to its original state.
With a flick of his long sleeves, the white-robed youth absorbed the Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror into his body. He gave a bitter smile; what he didn't want to see had probably come true.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Mirror, capable of severely injuring him across endless time and space, would be something that the eight immortals, including Xuanzhen, would not be able to achieve without using their true abilities and relying solely on a few disguises.
"I wonder which force has set its sights on our little piece of land."
"This is no longer just a matter for me alone. It seems necessary to contact those eight old geezers."
As he spoke, the white-robed youth's mind stirred, and ripples of white light spread around him once more, spreading out layers of Daoist rhyme like a pebble thrown into a lake. He closed his eyes slightly, his consciousness sinking into a deeper dimension, once again merging with the primordial will of the Nine Domains Continent.
At this moment, the entire Nine Domains Continent seemed to become his body, mountains and rivers his bones, and the aura of countless living beings flowing through his sea of consciousness. He opened his mouth and shouted, his voice no longer an ordinary sound, but transformed into chains of rules that pierced through heaven and earth, reaching the core of the Nine Domains' origin: "Nine Domains, contact those eight old fellows for me! Tell them to come to the Nine Domains Continent immediately! There is something important to discuss; delay will only lead to unforeseen changes!"
