1207 Setting Boundaries With the Gods

Xu Qing knew his strength. He wasn’t a match for Bai Xiaozhuo, who had the strength of the Perfected Nihility Realm.

Unless he used the ancient sun.

However, if he did that, the range of impact would be too great.

The entire Imperial Academy was probably going to collapse and the Imperial City would also be in ruins.

In addition… Xu Qing felt that it wasn’t worth using the ancient sun to kill Bai Xiaozhuo.

Hence, the ancient sun’s function was mostly to intimidate and protect himself.

‘If the Emperor Sword moved, all of this would actually be simple.’

Xu Qing felt regretful.

Since the Emperor Sword wasn’t moving, Xu Qing understood that the only thing he could do to kill Bai Xiaozhuo was to use other forces.

Expose Bai Xiaozhuo’s identity and destroy him using the righteousness of the human race.

As for Crow, it wasn’t time yet.

With Xu Qing’s current strength, it wasn’t enough to completely shake a State Preceptor.

Hence, he sat cross-legged on the white Dao platform that was enveloped by the array formation and looked at the battle in the sky with the Variant Immortal School’s school head, Chen Daoze, and a large number of students below.

Compared to the calmness Xu Qing displayed at this moment, the Divine Fusion School’s members were filled with endless complexity. There was also fear and trepidation that couldn’t be suppressed.

Even the school head of the Variant Immortal School felt great waves in his heart. He never expected that the school head of the Divine Fusion School was actually Illuminate’s Bai Xiaozhuo.

And this answer allowed him to see the light of hope.

He understood that after this battle, the rise of the Variant Immortal School was unstoppable.

The Divine Fusion School would collapse. All its higher-ups and students would definitely be strictly monitored to look for any other members of Illuminate.

All of this was brought about by Ancestor Xu Qing.

As all kinds of thoughts churned, the school head glanced at Chen Daoze who nodded slightly.

The Variant Immortal School’s school head made a decision. Hence, when he turned to look at Xu Qing, his eyes revealed deep respect.

However, at this moment, Xu Qing’s attention was only on the battlefield.

This was a rare opportunity. It allowed everyone to have a better understanding of the Nihility realm.

To Xu Qing, the meaning of watching the battle was especially profound.

This was because this was also a battle between immortal and divine cultivators.

Even though the level of the battle wasn’t at the Soul Accumulation realm, the combined attacks of multiple Nihility fourth stage cultivators still blurred the sky.

What those without sufficient cultivation saw was only flashes of lightning, glimpses of the sun and moon, accompanied by deafening thunder. Their ears were filled with the roars, and their vision was obscured.

However, Spirit Repository cultivators could see more.

They could sense the changes between the rules and laws in the sky. They could even sense that the rules had materialized, and he laws formed ancient figures that kept shaking the divinity from Illuminate’s side.

This was Dao Observation.

Also, according to their respective experiences and the focus of their cultivation, the rules of the battlefield that different people saw were also different.

Some may see clearly what others may perceive as vague, and vice versa.

Hence, the students of Imperial Academy held their breaths and focused, each trying to gain insights.

Only when one’s cultivation reached the Nihility could they truly see all the appearances of the battlefield, see all the rules and laws revealed, and see countless Daos flowing.

In Nihility’s eyes, the battle in the sky was like an ancient battle. Every syllable of the rumbling sound contained a Great Dao technique.

It continuously echoed and exploded the void, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding space.

Upon closer inspection, these cracks also contained changes in the laws. It shocked people and at the same time, they instinctively fell into deep thought.

However, all of this was actually just the surface. Only by reaching the same level or higher as them could one see through the true essence.

Xu Qing’s cultivation hadn’t reached that level but he was different from the others.

He was an immortal cultivator and also a divine cultivator.

Hence, in his eyes, the battlefield was also different from others.

In his vision, colorful lights intertwined in the sky like a flowing and abstract painting.

In the scene, the god-like Bai Xiaozhuo’s figure was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

Every time he flickered, he would appear in a different location.

The cultivation base of the Principal was terrifying. Moreover, with the enhancement of the imperial bloodline, he was 30% stronger than an ordinary perfected Nihility cultivator.

Every time he attacked, millions or even more Dao would manifest, coordinating with the life-bound golden dragon.

The rules changed at his will.

Sometimes, a dazzling sun was manifested, sometimes ancient war chariots charged forward, or even previously unseen giant beasts, demonstrating extraordinary Dao that suppressed Bai Xiaozhuo in various ways.

As for the battles between others around them, although there was a difference between the school heads of the other schools, they were still astonishing.

They fought against the five nonhuman Divine Fusion puppets until the sky was dark and everyone suffered some injuries.

Perfected Nihility was considered the peak in any race.

In fact, among some races that didn’t have Soul Accumulation, they were like gods.

Therefore, there were naturally some mystical characteristics of Perfected Nihility.

For example, when their blood fell, it directly formed a blood-colored lake on the ground.

The sounds of their battle could shatter the land.

Fortunately, the array formation here was powerful. Under the full-powered operation, it protected the safety of the students inside and didn’t let the battle interrupt the students’ comprehension.

Xu Qing was also comprehending. As he stared fixedly, many thoughts appeared in his mind. Coupled with his understanding, he gained a greater understanding of immortal and divine cultivators.

“Divine cultivators… don’t have any spells. The feeling They give off is that everything seems to be instinctive. It’s as though this heaven and earth was born for Them. In this world, They are free and unrestrained.”

“Immortal cultivators are completely different. They are also using the power of heaven and earth but their method is different from divine cultivators. They use the rules and laws as threads to affect the power of heaven and earth.”

“It’s like… enslaving heaven and earth!”

“With the Heavenly Dao?”

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as thoughts raced through his mind. He had gained many insights in this battle.

“Once the Heavenly Dao appears, it’s like binding heaven and earth and setting boundaries with the gods!”

Xu Qing’s heart trembled. He didn’t know if his guess was right.

However, from his current judgment, this was logical.

If that was the case, it also explained why the earliest batch of ancient immortals wanted to raise the Heavenly Dao that belonged to cultivators after conquering the Wanggu Continent.

The Heavenly Dao was to allow younger cultivators to cultivate better.

This also explained why the cultivation art system of cultivators nurtured the Heavenly Dao in the Spirit Repository.

“As long as we replenish the Heavenly Dao at all times, this world will be in the hands of cultivators!”

“If it’s really as I guessed, then this is unprecedentedly significant information. The methods to control the world are integrated into the cultivation system of cultivators.”

“Such methods, such outlook and vision…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and felt admiration for the earliest batch of ancient immortals. After that, he continued to observe the battle in the sky.

The fragmented-face couldn’t be seen in the sky of the Imperial Academy’s sky, but this didn’t affect Xu Qing’s analysis.

“Every time the fragmented-face opens Its eyes, the Heavenly Dao will fall. The moment all the Heavenly Dao is destroyed, this Wanggu will become the world of the gods again.”

“Also, although the Wanggu World is large, it’s only an insignificant part of the starry sky. Outside the Wanggu World… what does it look like?”

This was the first time Xu Qing thought of the scene beyond the Wanggu.

“There are holy lands there, and further away might be… the place Li Zihua went to. It’s also the location of the Purple Moon Star.”

Xu Qing closed his eyes and focused on sensing his Purple Moon Star.

Far, far away.

The moment Xu Qing closed his eyes and sensed, a new transformation appeared on the combat zone in the sky.

This change came from Bai Xiaozhuo.

His body flashed and appeared even higher in the sky, and as the Principal approached, he raised both hands and his head, as if paying homage to the highest point of the sky.

“The merging of the primordial solar energy, the ancient eyes of the Divine Fusion, become the light of the starry sky, shining upon Wanggu, casting shadow and transforming the land into the Divine Realm.”

“Revered Lord of the Sun, God of the cosmos and all heavens, Illuminate.”

“Descend upon this land!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky of the Imperial Academy rumbled and the Imperial Capital shook. An extremely terrifying and indescribable vast might descended from the void and descended on the Imperial Capital and the sky of Imperial Academy.

In an instant, an illusory and blurry scene appeared in the sky of Imperial Academy.

It replaced the sky here, the Dao here, and everything here.

In that scene, there were towering monstrous trees and bizarre beasts that emitted dense divinity fluctuations, and towering and indescribable ancient temples exuding the aura of time.

One could see frozen seas, gaseous peaks, humanoid eerie clouds, octopus-like spirits resembling suns and moons, as well as some giant birds with wings that obscured the sky, soaring past with a deafening roar.

They were immense in size, varied in form, with tentacles twisting and entwining, their bodies composed of mysterious and resilient materials.

This was a realm filled with bizarre entities and mysteries.

It was inconceivable and extremely strange. In the deepest depths, one could see a colossal and terrifying sphere, stretching for thousands of kilometers.

This sphere was entirely black, covered with countless tentacles that writhed constantly. Within a half-closed eye shimmered an eerie light, as if capable of piercing through time and space.

The voice emanating from the sphere was deep and resounding, like thunder rolling in the clouds.

With its movements, the entire world trembled, the earth shook, the oceans churned, and the sky burned.

Countless faces appeared on the surface of the black sphere. They were all singing and shouting the same words as Bai Xiaozhuo.

Divine might overflowed into the sky.

Even though it was just an image, it caused countless students in the Imperial Academy to vomit blood. There were even people who showed signs of mutation because of this. It was the same in the imperial city. In an instant, the entire Imperial City was enveloped by intense and domineering anomalous substances.

People were horrified and there was a huge uproar.

The expressions of the various forces changed drastically. The Human Emperor stood up and the expressions of the 13 Heavenly Kings under him changed as their auras rose.

Xu Qing’s expression turned solemn as he stared fixedly at the projection realm above Bai Xiaozhuo. He had sensed a similar place and aura once.

“Divine Realm…”

In the Imperial Capital, in the ancestral hall of the Mortal World Forgetful Tower, the clay fox statue enshrined in the shrine instantly trembled. Its head came alive and its glimpse suddenly opened, staring in the direction of the Imperial Academy.

“An unfamiliar Divine Realm!”

“The deity who was born inside… No, this god… Something’s wrong!”

At the same time, a shocking aura erupted from the statue of the Great Emperor erected in front of the Imperial Palace’s rainbow bridge.

The Great Emperor’s glimpse slowly opened, revealing the vicissitudes of time. There were also cracking sounds echoing. The Great Emperor’s head slowly turned and finally looked at the Imperial Academy.

A deep voice that surpassed heavenly lightning rang out lightly.

“Sword hovers in the blue sky, move and you shall taste it.”
