Chapter 10 Heaven's Decree

Hoo-hoo~

The air currents howled, and the clouds rolled.

Those with extraordinary talent and strong physiques were much faster than others, even when pulling a cart.

Before a fiery red chariot, Zhu Dahai puffed and panted as he stepped into the air, pulling the chariot through the clouds.

Thousands of pounds of flesh swung back and forth, a rather eye-catching sight.

Inside the chariot, An Qisheng sat cross-legged in meditation, a drop of exceptionally viscous blood rolling in his palm.

Zhu Dahai not only possessed the 'Pig Dragon' bloodline, but was also an extremely rare natural Awakened, born with a long lifespan. In a way, even if he didn't cultivate, he could live for over three thousand years!

Born with the lifespan that only the great powers of this world possessed, this was something that Lan Shuixian, Wu Erlang, and even the four major sect experts suppressed in his 'cave heaven' couldn't compare to.

This was why An Qisheng was somewhat surprised to see him.

Of course, this advantage would be evened out after advancing to a great power, but even so, one could see the preciousness of his bloodline.

"Bloodline is a mark, imprinting all the traces, aura, and even spells and divine abilities of the source existence. In a way, through the bloodline, you can unearth all the divine abilities of the source existence..."

The Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child in An Qisheng's mind constantly explained, "The improvement of the bloodline source can even improve all descendants of the entire bloodline..."

"The source creature of this drop of blood must be a Changsheng Zhong (long-lived species), or even more!"

"A Changsheng Zhong?"

An Qisheng looked at the drop of blood, his eyes rippling. "But the source of this drop of blood has already died of old age..."

In the Youlin Realm, or rather the Witch God Realm, living beings were divided into five levels: short-lived species, long-lived species, undying species, imperishable species, and eternal species.

But Changsheng (long life) was not Yongheng (eternal life). Changsheng was only relative to the 'short-lived species' in their mouths, not the 'coexisting with heaven and earth' that he understood.

The lifespan of this Changsheng Zhong was also defined in the Youlin Great World, which was 1.296 billion years!

Also called 'one kalpa'.

This lifespan was certainly not comparable to the heaven, earth, and universe, but relative to the lifespan of a hundred years for humans, it could naturally be called a 'long-lived species'.

"Impossible!"

The Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child flatly denied, "You said that this civilization has a history of thirty million years. A Changsheng Zhong can be killed, but it's impossible for it to die of old age in just thirty million years!"

"I don't think it should be either."

An Qisheng flipped his palm, and the drop of viscous, oil-like blood was already put away.

He was also puzzled in his heart.

He had studied Russell countless times in his dream state, and he also knew the definition of 'Changsheng Zhong' by the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child or the Youlin Realm.

The Sacred Emperors, Supreme Ones, and Heavenly Venerates of this world were all Changsheng Zhong in every aspect.

The few words they left behind could still be maintained after tens of thousands of years. How could such existences only live for tens of thousands of years?

"Mr. Monster, this world has great secrets!"

The voice of the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child also became solemn, "For you, I am willing to risk searching for the information and intelligence of this civilization to restore the truth behind all the secrets for you!"

"You learn quickly."

An Qisheng shook his head with a smile and stuffed the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child into the 'cave heaven'.

This wasn't the first time this blue-skinned little monster had wanted to go out, nor was it the first time he had refused.

......

"Ah!"

Peng Shiliu suddenly woke up with a start. Before he could even utter a cry, he first spat out a mouthful of blood.

Rumble~

The blood splattered across the sky, but there was no stench. Instead, it emitted a fragrance like a peerless elixir. When he spat it out, it transformed into a river of blood across the sky!

Scattering and sprinkling, it dyed the spirit fields within a radius of several hundred miles red.

"What's it got to do with me?!"

Peng Shiliu staggered to his feet, feeling that his internal organs were shattered into countless pieces. An immense sense of grief and anger rose in his heart.

But when he looked around, he was stunned.

Strange rocks, treacherous peaks, ancient pines, silver waterfalls, spirit fields...

"This is... a cave heaven?"

Peng Shiliu was first a little dazed, then he realized: This was Wuyong Daoren's (Useless Taoist) cave heaven!

That Yuanyang Daoren (Primal Yang Taoist) had occupied this cave heaven, and he had been captured and brought in!

His heart was filled with jealousy and terror.

With the cave heaven suppressing him, even if he wasn't injured, he wouldn't be able to escape.

He knew that the cave heaven existed in the void. Once he rushed out, he would probably be lost in the turbulent flow of time and space, and like the items in countless shattered Qiankun bags, he would never have the chance to return to the world.

"This is troublesome..."

Peng Shiliu felt a little uneasy. He had completely fallen into the hands of that Yuanyang Daoren.

Bang!

A loud noise shook the sky.

Zheng Longqiu suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of divine light shooting out and dissipating into the void three thousand feet away.

"Cave heaven?!"

Zheng Longqiu touched his neck, as if he could still feel the remaining power of the guillotine. He looked around and was immediately shocked.

Cave heaven was a symbol of great power. Was that Yuanyang Daoren really a great power?!

But then he noticed something was wrong. Although the spiritual energy in this cave heaven was abundant, there was no aura of a great power.

Hu~

Feng Changming also silently got up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock after a moment of恍惚 (being in a trance): "That Yuanyang Daoren actually refined Wuyong Daoren's cave heaven in such a short time?"

He was shocked in his heart.

The Taiyi Sect was the first to discover that there was a residence of Wuyong Daoren in Qian Mountain, but the great power's restriction not only involved the earth's脉 (veins), but also勾引 (seduced) the cave heaven. If they forcefully broke the formation, it was very likely to damage the potential of the cave heaven.

Therefore, the Taiyi Sect sent Lan Shuixian to come, waiting for the great formation to be broken, so that they could take this cave heaven into the sect.

Who would have thought that a Yuanyang Daoren would suddenly appear?

"Accept your fate."

Mo Changfa, who had silently woken up, looked calm and replied faintly, as if he had resigned himself to fate.

That Yuanyang Daoren's strength was even greater than theirs. At that time, they had accidentally fallen into his 'true form', so it could be said that he had all the advantages of time, place, and people.

If he wanted to kill them, they would have already been done for. Since he didn't kill them, then there was something to talk about.

He was very calm. This calmness came from the fact that he had once been captured by a giant demon. If there was something to talk about, he was naturally not afraid. What he was most afraid of was that there was nothing to talk about.

In fact, he didn't like fighting with people.

They were all seeking longevity, why fight and kill?

"Accept your fate?"

Zheng Longqiu's expression was ugly. He suddenly turned his head, his hair and beard standing on end like a lion: "Mo Changfa, that Yuanyang Daoren's origins are unknown. What if he's from outside of Dongzhou and wants to explore the reality of our Dongzhou?"

"It doesn't matter."

Mo Changfa was unmoved, pointing to his brow: "We all have restrictions protecting our souls when we enter the sect. A wisp of the aura of the Wanfa Longlou (Ten Thousand Law Dragon Tower) is circling in my brow. Even a great power can't get anything from me..."

The sect was established by law, how important was inheritance, how could it be easily leaked?

Any large sect had protection for the souls of the true inheritors and elders within the sect. Although only Wanfa Lou and Taiyi Sect had至尊 (supreme) treasures among the ten major sects, they all had the aura of封王 (king sealing) spiritual treasures to protect them.

Even a great power couldn't break it.

"How can I ruin my lifelong reputation here?"

Whenever Zheng Longqiu thought about being suppressed and captured, he felt extremely烦闷 (vexed) in his heart, and couldn't help but shout, "Yuanyang Daoren, come out quickly!"

His sound waves shook the sky, and the entire cave heaven world was echoing with his roar, but naturally this roar didn't call out An Qisheng, but it woke up the others.

It also alarmed the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child, who was circling outside the cave heaven.

This blue-skinned little monster was already very郁闷 (depressed), and was alarmed by this roar, so it was immediately attracted,引动 (causing to move) An Qisheng to give it control over the cave heaven.

Buzz~~~

The cave heaven suddenly lit up, and stars came from nowhere, rolling down and filling the entire cave heaven.

"Yuanyang Daoren, you're finally out!"

Zheng Longqiu's heart震 (shook).

But before he could say anything, the starlight that poured down like an ocean had completely enveloped them. Everyone wanted to dodge, and felt a familiar aura of the guillotine flash by.

Immediately, their bodies stiffened and were shrouded in the倾泻 (pouring) starlight.

Kacha~ Kacha~~~

Only the sound of chains and wooden restraints closing could be heard.

The starlight transformed into substantial handcuffs, anklets, and shackles, directly binding everyone, including Peng Shiliu.

"How dare you insult me!"

Zheng Longqiu's heart恍惚 (wavered). Seeing the shackles on his body, his heart was filled with great anger, and he struggled.

But this starlight chain seemed to be connected to the entire cave heaven, and even connected to each other. One struggle would cause the other to suffer severe pain, so they couldn't resist.

Therefore, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.

Pa~

The next moment, a starlight whip struck down from the sky.

"Ah!"

With just one whip, Zheng Longqiu, who had once endured all kinds of cruel punishments and磨练 (tempered) his willpower, cried out in pain.

He felt that this whip almost shattered his soul. Under the extreme pain, he only screamed and fell to the ground.

"Senior Brother Zheng!"

A master of Jingyang Mountain went to help him, but as soon as he moved, he was knocked to the ground by a heavy whip, and immediately rolled on the ground like Zheng Longqiu.

The screams were even more不堪 (miserable).

Immediately, everyone shut up. Being囚禁 (imprisoned) was already inevitable, so why provoke whipping?

.......

Hu~

After looking at Zhu Dahai, who was pulling and sprinting frantically in the空 (sky), An Qisheng slowly closed his eyes.

In his vision, more than ten spiritual imprints shone brightly.

This was his harvest.

Zheng Longqiu and others were in the万法 (Ten Thousand Laws) realm, and their positions in their respective sects were also extremely high, second only to a few great elders, sect leaders, and supreme elders. Naturally, they knew more things.

Buzz~

The moment An Qisheng closed his eyes, wisps of spiritual light rose from the many spiritual imprints.

Within the spiritual light, principles of law intertwined, and纹路 (patterns) appeared, like words and pictures.

If the people of the four major sects were here, they would be extremely shocked to find that the spiritual light that flashed out.

Clearly it included the Three Seven 法灭箓 (Law Extinguishing Records) of the Extermination of Affection Path, the 'Tyrant Fist' of Jingyang Mountain, the 'Extinguishing Dao诛仙 (Exterminate Immortal) Sword' of Taiyi Sect, and the '寂灭 (Silent Extinction) Ice River' of Wanfa Lou, dozens of mystical arts and true form diagrams!

There was even the 'Great Peng King Fist' of the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan!

In addition to these first-class mystical arts, there were also a large number of more important secret arts, divine abilities, elixir formulas, sect secrets, and even some treasure troves in the memories of the more than ten people.

Any master was equivalent to a treasure trove!

Of course, An Qisheng could sense that the souls of these sect masters had various protections. If it wasn't for entering a dream, it would be difficult for him to窥探 (spy) even the slightest bit.

But entering a dream had nothing to do with the soul. These wisps of spiritual imprints were transformed from the traces they leaked in the heaven and earth, so naturally they wouldn't cause backlash.

Buzz~

With a thought from An Qisheng, the many mystical arts had already flashed across the bright mirror hanging high in his heart.

With the sublimation of his mental state several times and the improvement of his realm, this mirror凝练 (condensed) with心学 (mind-learning) had become more and more神意 (divine-like). In a faint way, it already had some of the aura of 'Da Yan Heavenly Comprehension'.

"The nine realms before the ancient times, the eleven realms after the ancient times, but 服气 (Qi Consumption), 外景 (Exterior Scene) are just supplements to the nine realms, in a sense, they are still the nine realms..."

"True form, spiritual image, 化神 (Transformation of Spirit), 天罡 (Heavenly Dipper), Ten Thousand Laws, cave heaven... those who condense the laws of nature into a cave heaven are great powers, but the cave heaven does not dissolve into the heaven and earth, but is more like existing independently between heaven and earth. The so-called cave heaven calamity is just a collision with the universe and heaven and earth..."

"But it's just the universe's instinctive碾压 (crushing), and it can't explain the short life of the至尊 (Supreme One)..."

While one mystical art after another flowed through his heart, An Qisheng also had many doubts.

What was it that prevented the Sacred Emperor and the Supreme One, who possessed all the characteristics of a Changsheng Zhong, and even some of the不死 (undying) species, from achieving long life?

What was missing from the heaven and earth?

Or......

An Qisheng's heart was filled with doubts, but it didn't affect his enlightenment of the many secret arts. He was even leisurely watching the secrets contained in the spiritual imprints of several people at the same time.

"Eh? This is......"

At a certain moment, An Qisheng discovered the most hidden information in Zheng Longqiu's dream:

Tian Ding Emperor!
