"How did he see through the future and refine this miniature map of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!" Wang Zhuo was utterly shocked.
"Although it's a miniature version, each Dao Province's boundary, over three thousand in total, took tens of millions of years after the War of the Gods to form the current landscape. By then, the Immortal Lord had already set foot in the Immortal Realm. How did he refine the current planar geography?" Su Dan Novel Network
Xia Xinyu was also incredibly shocked. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it. The terrain of the Dao Provinces was restored to a one-to-one scale.
"Rumble!"
As the few people observed, the map of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces began to tremble. Streams of blood emerged, continuously washing over the land. After about half an hour, the Three Thousand Dao Provinces within the treasure cauldron were crisscrossed with deep, bottomless ravines. At this moment, even the terrifying aura within the treasure cauldron weakened by nine-tenths!
If the ancestors of the eight great families of Zhongzhou were present before this treasure cauldron, they would surely be terrified. The ravines appearing within the treasure cauldron were identical to those outside, with the same number and distribution of gullies, not a single detail amiss!
"Humph~~"
The treasure cauldron suddenly vibrated, and a golden halo appeared directly in front of it. Another void passage materialized, filled with golden light. The aura emanating from this passage was very gentle, unlike the terrifying intensity of the previous ones.
"Let's go in and take a look! It's impossible for us to return the way we came. Not to mention whether we can find an exit, with our current realm, if we step out of this wooden sword peak, we'll be suppressed by the great formation!"
Xia Xinyu said to the others and took the lead into the passage. The rest of them followed suit and stepped into the golden void passage.
"Huh? What's going on? How did we come back!!"
As the group entered the passage, the light was blinding, and they could see nothing. When they could finally see clearly, their surroundings were identical to the location of the treasure cauldron: the dry, dark red river and the seven graves with cracks.
The group took a few steps forward and then looked back. It was still the same mysterious treasure cauldron, floating in the void, with its five gaping fissures identical.
"What's happening?"
Dian Wei stepped forward and approached the graves, unable to comprehend.
"This is not the original place. Look, although the seven graves, the mysterious treasure cauldron, and the dark red river are all here, the aura suppressing this place has changed. The flowing lights on the mountains are all different!"
Xia Xinyu spoke, and then she directly stepped into the void. The pressure and blockade in the void were gone.
Boom!
She directly rushed into the narrow passage, barely wide enough for one person. Dian Wei and the others quickly followed. After traversing a thousand feet of the narrow passage, the black skeletal remains of the void demon leader, with a wooden sword stuck in its head, still coiled at the center of the mountain base. Not a single object or plant had changed; only the flowing aura was different.
"It seems we've entered another grotto-heaven. Everything here is exactly the same as before. Let's go and see if we can return the way we came after leaving this wooden sword peak!" Xia Xinyu looked up at the mountaintop.
Without the suppression of the great formation, the group reached the summit with just a few steps. Standing on the peak, they looked around. It was the same vast expanse of white mist they had encountered when they first entered. After a few breaths, they oriented themselves by the wind and sped off into the distance. However, after only a few miles, they were suppressed and forced to descend to the ground. Looking up, they saw the stone tablet inscribed with the characters "Ye Xuan."
The group had no choice but to walk. After passing the stone tablet and then the wooden sword, they were finally free of the restraint. They stepped into the void and traveled at great speed through the icy world.
What had taken them several days to traverse before now took only a few breaths to reach the mysterious palace. As they entered the palace, the icy world instantly dissipated. Finally, half an hour later, they left that grotto-heaven and appeared within the secret realm. At the entrance of the mysterious palace, they did not see Wang Le, only a patch of blood remained.
The original battlefield was still there. The two from the Chu family, along with the three from the Hong family, and the remains of the creatures from the Black Water Immortal Dynasty were scattered on the ground, their divine blood diluted into the earth.
"Let's go!"
The group set off again, speeding towards the distance. They reached the edge and saw the corpses of several members of the Gu family, their deaths extremely tragic.
"Alas!"
"Our four clans attempted to intercept them at every step, but each attempt failed, and our warriors died on the battlefield. The chessboard is now scattered again. This era is destined to pass!" Wang Zhuo lamented.
The emergence of the Candle Dragon's primordial spirit was something they could no longer resist. Ultimately, it was uncertain whether they could even survive and leave this sealed land.
They themselves didn't even know where they were.
The group glanced at the remains of the Gu family members and then sped towards the end. As they approached the edge of the secret realm, it took them a full day to reach the destination.
"What should we do?"
The end of the secret realm before them was a mass of chaotic energy, impossible to enter. Turning back, they had no clear objective. After about an hour, in another secret realm, Jiang Zuo Zinan emerged from the secret realm and walked step by step to the exit of the sealed land. He turned back and looked at the sky and earth, softly saying, "Lord Zhu, this era will be yours. My Jiang Zuo family will surely follow, for eternity!"
With a boom, he exited the sealed land. Simultaneously, two giant hands extended from the sky and descended towards Jiang Zuo Zinan. Those terrifying giant hands could shatter and block even time itself. Terrifying lightning bolts streaked, and the shattered void could not repair itself.
"You've gone too far!"
A gray palm suddenly appeared beside Jiang Zuo Zinan and directly snatched him away, disappearing outside the sealed land.
"Where do you think you're going! Blockade!"
The void was in turmoil, and occasionally terrifying divine power erupted from space, falling upon the earth.
For a time, the eight great families of Zhongzhou, whether in the void, the heavens above, or the earth below, were engaged in fierce battles. Blood and strife raged, and several cities were instantly reduced to dust. Even a Dao Province nearby was shattered, countless factions were annihilated, and hundreds of millions of lives vanished.
"Finally, we're out."
The moment Jiang Zuo Zinan exited the sealed land, a golden bridge appeared before the five members of Dian Wei's group. Stepping onto it, they left that secret realm and appeared directly above Undying City.
Boom!
Supreme experts clashed in the sky. The terrifying pressure caused the formation above Undying City to be unable to resist and instantly shatter.
