Chen Xuan's entire body was riddled with thorns from the silver threads!
Meanwhile, downstream of the river of fate for the Eastern Emperor, the once clear picture is once again shrouded in gloom!
They couldn't see anything again!
"Brother Chen!"
The Eastern Emperor immediately wanted to come over.
"Don't come any closer, don't touch these causal threads!"
Chen Xuan immediately raised his hand, signaling everyone to stay still.
He immediately sat down to meditate and used his own power of laws to melt away the causal lines that were penetrating his body, bit by bit.
Of course, he melted away these causal threads.
However, in reality, this cause and effect has already become entangled with Chen Xuan.
Because he got involved in this matter, he must bear the consequences of the actions of the Eastern Emperor and the Supreme Being who intervened!
Three days later.
All the causal threads interwoven with Chen Xuan disappeared and merged into his body.
He must bear this consequence; there is no escaping it.
However, he had already stood up and looked radiant, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
At the same time, the river of fate had also disappeared, and he had put away the laws of fate.
“Brother Donghuang, according to the guidance of fate, about 3,500 years from now, when you undergo the Supreme Tribulation, the God Realm will send a Supreme to interfere.”
"Although I couldn't see the face of that supreme being clearly, there was a familiar aura about him. If I remember correctly, he should be the withered sovereign from the God Realm!"
Chen Xuan spoke calmly.
He himself possesses the Law of Withering; therefore, the aura of the supreme being withered in body who made the move was the Great Dao of Withering!
"That's all I can do to help, Brother Donghuang. You'll have to rely on yourself for what to do next."
Chen Xuan continued.
The Eastern Emperor laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you've worked hard."
Chen Xuan's actions undoubtedly helped him a great deal!
Before this, the Eastern Emperor knew that when he was undergoing his tribulation, a supreme being from the God Realm would definitely intervene, but he did not know which supreme being would be sent.
Furthermore, he himself did not know at what point he would suddenly undergo tribulation.
But now Chen Xuan not only told him the time, but also knew which supreme being had made the move.
In this way, he can prepare in advance and make the supreme being of the God Realm miss his target!
This is truly a great favor!
Chen Xuan, as a result, bore the brunt of the consequences.
According to fate, the Eastern Emperor was originally destined to perish at the hands of the supreme being of the divine realm.
Because of his actions, he survived, and thus he was tainted by the karma of the two supreme beings!
In the future, if he cannot bear the consequences, he may very well die suddenly!
His approach was extremely risky!
"Brother Donghuang, you've been so kind to me, so of course I should be kind in return!"
Chen Xuan grinned.
In fact, at this moment, he felt as if countless needles were pricking his entire body, and it was extremely painful.
However, he held back, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor so that the Eastern Emperor would not notice.
For brothers, I'd go through fire and water!
"Three thousand five hundred years later, I have been on the Emperor's Road for five hundred years. By the way, Brother Donghuang, how many years does it take to complete the entire Emperor's Road?"
Chen Xuan asked, as he had not traveled the Imperial Path and therefore did not know.
But now he's thinking that if possible, he should return from the Emperor's Road and lend a hand to the Eastern Emperor when he undergoes his tribulation!
If he becomes a near-Supreme in the future, with his strength, he might be able to challenge the Supreme!
"It's hard to define how many years it takes to travel the Imperial Road. Some people travel it quickly, defeating countless opponents along the way. The fastest record is that it takes about a thousand years to complete."
"Some people walk slowly, taking tens of thousands of years to complete the journey!"
"Back then, I collapsed at the forty-second level, after walking for three thousand two hundred years."
"My father, Dong Zun, although he passed the final test, it still took him 1,500 years."
The Eastern Emperor saw through Chen Xuan's thoughts and knew that he wanted to rush back to help him.
Unfortunately, since the Desolate Celestial Venerable created the Emperor's Path, the fastest person to complete the Emperor's Pass took a thousand years.
Even someone as powerful as Dong Zun took 1,500 years!
So Chen Xuan wants to return within five hundred years?
It's practically impossible!
The Emperor's Path is a cruel road of no return, where one battles with countless geniuses from all the heavens and myriad realms, and only the strong survive.
To pass the final stage, one needs to defeat countless geniuses. It requires not only sufficient strength but also the passage of time!
"All right!"
Chen Xuan sighed softly, "Well then, Brother Donghuang, I wish you a smooth tribulation in advance. I'll be leaving now."
Chen Xuan said.
"Brother Chen, let me see you off!"
The Eastern Emperor stepped forward to see him off. At this moment, the relationship between him and Chen Xuan was no longer just a matter of lip service.
From the moment the Eastern Emperor gave the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword to Chen Xuan, the relationship between Chen Xuan and him was already one of both teacher and friend.
From the moment Chen Xuan spared no expense, even bearing the consequences of being a supreme being, to help the Eastern Emperor glimpse his destiny, the two had already become close friends, like bosom buddies!
Chen Xuan left the Eastern Wilderness and did not rush back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Instead, he headed straight for the Southern Barbarian Lands, intending to enter the Ancient Heavenly Desolation Mine and the Undying Mountain.
"Hey, Chen Xuan, how dare you touch upon the supreme cause and effect? Aren't you afraid of death?"
On the way, Dugu Rou noticed Chen Xuan grimacing.
Dugu Rou had met Bai Zun and Xi Zun. One of these supreme beings knew the Great Dao of Destiny, and the other knew the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
Therefore, he knew that this was the causal thread inserted into Chen Xuan's body, causing him physical pain.
Three thousand five hundred years later, this causal thread will completely erupt.
Whether Chen Xuan could withstand it at that time was hard to say.
The pain you're experiencing now is just a minor ache.
To put it bluntly, these causal threads are like time bombs planted inside Chen Xuan's body.
Three thousand five hundred years later, when the Eastern Emperor transcends his tribulation, the God Realm's withered sovereign appears.
Whether the Eastern Emperor succeeds in transcending his tribulation or dies, he will have to bear the consequences of either outcome.
The Eastern Emperor is dead; he only needs to bear the consequences from the withered Venerable.
If the Eastern Emperor survives and becomes a Supreme Being, then he will have to bear the karma of the two Supreme Beings, the Eastern Emperor and the Withered Being!
Because he glimpsed a corner of the future, this is the price he has to pay!
Therefore, Dugu Rou didn't quite understand why Chen Xuan did this.
To peek into the future for the sake of the Eastern Emperor is tantamount to sacrificing oneself. Is it worth it?
"This is called brotherhood, you wouldn't understand!"
Chen Xuan grinned.
"cut!"
Dugu Rou rolled her eyes. "It's still to repay Dongfang Bai, after all, I've heard that he treats you very well."
Chen Xuan smiled but didn't say anything more.
"The City of Ten Thousand Demons is ahead; let's go there first."
