Chapter 81 Origin and End (I) “This is your ‘cooperation…
It has been a while since I last came to the restricted area.
Ying Bu Ran and Zhao Chao An stood together outside the restricted area, feeling somewhat at a loss.
They came here because they had deduced how to create a god time and time again but had never succeeded. Shen Cangwu returned to the sect and looked through documents everywhere, and finally found a few fragments in the corner of the forbidden study.
The fragment mentioned a place - the place of origin, which is said to be the place where the first celestial spirit was born. It is vaguely mentioned that this place is located at the edge of the world, that is, a restricted area.
There is not much more about the "origin". Apart from a brief mention of an end-of-the-world place, the rest of the content is basically destroyed.
This fragment was saved from destruction because it was used to pad the corner of a table. During the previous "king's" reign, many documentary materials were basically destroyed, and were replaced by fabricated "history" and information about heavenly sacrifices.
There was no other way, so Ying Bu Ran simply set out to find the place of origin to see if there were any clues there.
Zhao Chaoan naturally followed, while Zhao Qingxun went to the "end" to look for other clues.
"Speaking of which, the power fluctuations here seem to be getting more chaotic." Ying Bu Ran stretched out his hand and sensed the power fluctuations here. The feeling of chaos was obviously more serious.
Originally, it was just a simple mixture of various forces that reached a strange balance. Now, the balance has been broken, and various forces are running rampant, and there is a risk of explosion at any time.
Zhao Chaoan nodded in agreement. The last time she came here, the feeling of her power being eroded was not so serious and she could defend herself easily. But this time it was different. She felt uncomfortable just standing on the periphery.
Ying Bu Ran glanced at Zhao Chao An. Although he felt she wouldn't agree, he still asked, "How about you wait for me outside? The chaos here won't affect me much."
Zhao Chaoan shook his head, but if Ying Bu Ran wanted to create a barrier for her like last time, it would put a considerable burden on Ying Bu Ran.
What should I do... Zhao Chaoan fell into deep thought. After a moment, she flashed and transformed into a little blackbird. She landed on Ying Bu Ran's head, tilted her head to feel it for a moment, and flapped her wings happily: "It works! The impact will be much smaller in this form!"
Ying Bu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to touch the little blackbird's feathers and continued on his way. "That's good. Let's continue on our way. Let's go to the place where the secret realm was before. There might be some clues there."
"Okay, let's go!" The little blackbird flapped its wings, looking quite proud and heroic. However, it looked a little funny standing on her head.
However, halfway through the journey, an accident occurred.
An unexpected person appeared in their sight. He looked very happy when he saw them and waved at them: "Hey! You're here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ying Bu Ran's mouth twitched, but he resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Why are you here again? You're not dead?"
She had also asked Cheng Banxia before and learned that Qiao Yu was not in the team, nor was she on the list of those who successfully escaped, and Qiao Yu was also a person who was deeply involved in the heavenly sacrifice.
She also thought that Qiao Yu had become a puppet of the Spirit of Heaven like those people.
Qiao Yu pretended to be hurt, clutching his chest and pretending to be serious: "You actually miss me so much? It's really as sad as ever. I came here to bring you good news."
Zhao Chaoan snorted twice and was about to say something when he realized something was wrong. He immediately flapped his wings and stood in front of Ying Bu Ran.
How could this person not have the slightest influence here? How was it possible? With Qiao Yu's level of cultivation, this shouldn't be possible.
Ying Bu Ran also noticed this, but she was much calmer than Zhao Chaoan. After knowing the possible identity of the "king", and considering the various abnormalities that Qiao Yu had now shown, she almost guessed the identity of the person in front of her.
"What do you want to say?" Ying Bu Ran gestured to Zhao Chaoan to calm down, looked at Qiao Yu and asked.
Qiao Yu spread his hands, snapped his fingers, and chuckled, "I know you're looking for the Place of Origin. Coincidentally, I know where it is and can take you there. But there are conditions."
"Is this your 'cooperation'?"
Qiao Yu nodded: "Hmm, what a pity. Some people were unwilling to do so before. I wonder what you think now?"
Ying Bu Ran didn't know whether this person was telling the truth or not, but what she could provide now was indeed what they needed, so was it worth taking the risk?
She didn't directly answer Qiao Yu's question, but instead raised another question: "Are you from this world?"
Qiao Yu hummed and did not give a direct answer, but Ying Bu Ran almost had an answer in his mind.
"What are the conditions?"
"After everything is over, come with me to meet someone," she said. Then she felt a gaze like a needle pricking her. She looked up and saw the bird above Ying Bu Ran staring at her. She raised her hands and said, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I'm not in cahoots with that guy. Because this world is sealed off, their people can't come in to help, and I have some leverage over them, so I'm doing them a favor."
This sentence contained a lot of information. Ying Bu Ran turned his back and discussed it with Zhao Chaoan for a while before finally saying, "You lead the way first. If it's true, we'll go meet you after everything is over. Of course, it's okay if you don't agree."
Anyway, we already know that the place of origin is in the restricted area, and finding it is just a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yu quickly agreed: "Okay, let's go."
After saying that, she really turned around and was about to lead the way, which made Ying Bu Ran and Zhao Chao An stunned.
Back in Shen, Ying Bu Ran brought Zhao Chao An and followed Qiao Yu. Ying Bu Ran whispered to Zhao Chao An, "Tell me, isn't she afraid that we'll go back on our word?"
Zhao Chaoan was also a little puzzled, and even became quite wary of Qiao Yu's current behavior: "I don't know, let's wait and see, who knows if she's playing any tricks."
They came to the secret realm again, but this time, there was only a door and a stone statue of a giant beast on the door. I wonder if this place has changed again. Is it because of the chaos of power here?
Qiao Yu led them through the gate of the secret realm and continued to walk deeper. If Ying Bu Ran remembered correctly, the secret realm was located in the center of the restricted area, and they didn't seem to have reached the outer edge yet.
Is it because of that door? Behind that door is a real restricted area?
After walking for a while, they seemed to have reached the deepest part, where the force field was far more chaotic than outside. As they approached, a huge crack appeared before them.
The crack seemed to have a suction force, trying to pull them in. When they first felt it, Ying Bu Ran hugged Zhao Chaoan in his arms to prevent him from being sucked away.
Zhao Chaoan glanced at the secret realm, then looked up and said to Ying Bu Ran, "This place is very similar to the crack in the ghost world."
"To be precise, it's the same route, extending from the immortal world to the mortal world, and finally to the ghost world." Qiao Yu explained with a smile, hands on his hips, looking at them with a raised eyebrow, "But the one over there has been sealed by the King of Hell, so only this one is left."
"That door is the only way to get here. It will automatically intercept anyone related to the Heavenly Spirit and the guy you all know."
Ying Bu Ran moved a little closer to get a better look, then retreated: "Does this lead to the place of origin?"
Qiao Yu nodded: "Yeah, just jump down."
After saying that, Qiao Yu jumped down directly, as if to comfort them. Ying Bu Ran did feel a sense of familiarity from it, and it was very likely that this was the place.
After touching Zhao Chaoan's head, Ying Bu Ran jumped down with Zhao Chaoan.
.
Zhao Qingxun looked up at the three large characters "Yanwang Hall" on it, then looked at Cheng Banxia, who was standing beside him and was very curious about her surroundings, and said, "Actually, you don't have to follow."
"That won't do. What if you do something impulsive again? Or something unexpected happens? One more person is always an extra layer of protection. And you've heard the King of Hell say it's better to have one more person." Cheng Banxia decisively gestured with a cross to reject Zhao Qingxun's idea of wanting her to go back.
Before Zhao Qingxun could say anything, the door to Yama's Palace opened. Yama turned sideways and nodded to signal them to come in and talk. Zhao Qingxun had no choice but to give up and took Cheng Banxia in first.
The King of Hell sat down directly. Living people were not allowed to eat the food in the ghost world, so she had no intention of entertaining the two of them and went straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
"I'd like to ask how to enter the Land of Wuwang, the legendary final resting place of the dead." Zhao Qingxun also asked directly.
The King of Hell stroked his chin. "The Land of Unforeseen? The legendary end of the world? It seems you also know that legend?"
However, Zhao Qingxun shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that this should be a clue, and now this is the only place I haven't tried."
"Do you know anything else about this place?"
"I know, but it's not very accurate. I have been trying my best to organize the information during this period. This is what I have organized. You can take a look at it first, and then I will tell you how to enter." As he said that, Yan Wang took out a notebook and handed it to Zhao Qingxun, which recorded all the things about the legends she had searched for during this time.
Zhao Qingxun read through it carefully, and became more certain that this method was feasible. After she finished reading it, she returned the book to Yan Wang, who sat there waiting and watching her.
The King of Hell knew she was almost certain, so he said directly, "The Land of Unforeseen is the end, the opposite of the Land of Origin. It is the final destination of the dead who cannot be reborn. Only the dead can enter here. In other words, you can enter by pretending to be dead. However, I cannot guarantee that you will come out alive."
After she finished speaking, she stood up, leaving the space for the two of them so she could prepare. "Think about it for a while. If you decide to go to the Wuwang Land, come find me in the back room."
