Chapter 300 A Love Tribulation That's Hard to Overcome (Twenty-Three)
The upper realm, the nine heavens.
Looking at the turbid air outside, Ling Yin raised his hand and his immortal energy spread out, driving away the turbid air. The clear immortal power instantly enveloped the entire Nine Heavens, blocking all the foul turbid air outside.
Many immortals from the Nine Heavens have gradually gathered outside the celestial palace.
“This won’t last long.” Yao Shuo transferred his immortal power to her and said, “The people we sent to reinforce the foundation in the Demon Forest have all disappeared. In just a few hours, the chaotic energy will spread throughout the Upper Realm, and then all the immortals will be in danger.”
"That idiot Yun Guang." Ling Yin added even more immortal power.
“Ah Ling, we both know in our hearts that whether Yun Guang believes Kong Xuan’s instigation that shook the foundation or not, the outcome will not change.” The Dharma Image behind Yao Shuo, which had been meditating with its eyes closed, slowly opened its eyes and looked down at the Three Realms in the midst of chaos and the Nine Provinces that had not yet noticed the anomaly. Finally, its gaze fell on Jiang Gu of Taijin Divine Province. “Hong Chen has bought us as much time as possible. It’s just a matter of one day sooner or later. If the Heavenly Dao really intends to completely annihilate the gods and immortals, we will have no other choice.”
The celestial realm barely escaped this calamity back then, but who knew that even after millions of years, it would still be unable to escape it.
“Fifty thousand years ago, Chen Hao and Xun Ji perished one after another. Twenty thousand years ago, Hong Chen glimpsed the secrets of heaven and had no choice but to enter the closed gate of the gods. We have guarded this gate of the gods for tens of thousands of years. Now it is our turn.” Ling Yin said calmly. “It’s just that Yao Yan is still so young. I tried my best not to let him get involved, but I did not expect that he would be the one most entangled with the Chaos Core.”
“Perhaps he sensed something was wrong when Hongchen went into seclusion,” Yao Shuo said. “He has always been intelligent, bold, and has few ties. The position bestowed upon him by Heaven has already determined his path. A-Ling, there is nothing you can’t let go of.”
Ling Yin said, "I thought we could buy him some more time; it's rare for this child to care about people."
“This is his tribulation, not his destiny.” Yao Shuo sighed. “I originally thought that they should at least hold a grand ceremony for the immortal couples so that they could enjoy themselves for a while, but this child was in a hurry and wanted to go directly to the Mi Hua Realm.”
"We respectfully invite the High God Lingyin and His Highness Yaoshuo to leave the palace."
The voices of the immortals could be heard from outside.
Ling Yin and Yao Shuo exchanged a glance, and the peaceful Dharma images behind them finally rose slowly and walked with them out of the palace gate.
“Tiaoxu is too clever for his own good, thinking that chaos in the Three Realms can shake the foundation of the Upper Heaven. He thinks the people he wants to deal with are us.” Ling Yin said as he walked. “Back then, he arbitrarily activated the Chaos Core Seal and sent it to the Lower Realm, and he also altered Yaoyan’s memories. I should have killed him then.”
“Tiaoxu is an elder of the Upper Heaven. Killing him would only attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.” Yaoshuo gathered his sleeves and admired the magnificent scenery around him. “But I never expected my son to be so clever. He actually used the excuse of undergoing the tribulation of love to bring back the Chaos Core, which threw him into a panic.”
“Your son is clever, but he didn’t even manage to overcome his love tribulation properly. He still managed to force his way into the Heavenly Gate with others, and the Heavenly Dao even pretended to be confused and granted him a position.” Ling Yin casually picked a flower from the roadside and handed it to him to look at. “Husband, I am now glad that Yao Yan is an indifferent person. He has been intelligent since birth and is not very close to us. When he comes back and can’t find us, he shouldn’t be too sad.”
Yao Shuo took it, smelled it, and laughed, "If I had known, I would have asked the Bureau of Fate to change my fate. I finally got to be reincarnated in the mortal realm, but I'm still destined to die young."
"If you don't come back soon, who will handle all the affairs of the palace?" Ling Yin laughed. "I still remember in the far south, my son was a little bundle of joy, nestled in my arms, holding my hand. Even though he was so badly injured, he could still smile at me. His eyes were bright and round. Although he was a bit clumsy, he was really lovable."
She paused, then said, "It's just a pity I can't spend too much time with him."
"It's already very good. At least we rekindled our old feelings in the mortal realm." Yao Shuo put his arm around her shoulder and handed her the flower branch. "Miss Gu?"
Ling Yin chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Flirtatious."
The palace gates slowly opened, and the flower branch in Ling Yin's hand transformed into a long sword made entirely of white. Yao Shuo's gorgeous robes were replaced by a pair of imposing and heavy armor, and the red-tasseled spear in his hand was firmly pressed to the ground. The entire Upper Heaven trembled, and even the arrogant chaotic energy froze for a moment.
“Yaoyan escaped from the Upper Heaven with the Chaos Core and secretly released Princess Lingjing from the earth veins. I have asked Immortal Tiaoxu to send someone to bring him back.” Ling Yin held his sword behind him. “The rest of you, follow me to the end of the Sixteenth Heaven and guard the Divine Gate at all costs.”
Tiao Xu and Shi Ye in the crowd were both taken aback. Shi Ye spoke up, "Lord Ling Yin, the chaotic energy outside is overflowing, and the turbid energy is eroding the immortal energy. The most urgent task should be to clear away the turbid energy and reseal the chaotic core. Why are you guarding the divine gate?"
“Furthermore, since the God Realm was destroyed, the Divine Gate has not been opened for millions of years. This is really unnecessary,” Shi Ye said. “If the High God is unable to take action against Immortal Yao Yan due to his status, we can do it for him.”
Ling Yin said expressionlessly, "Who said the Divine Gate hasn't been opened for millions of years?"
Shi Ye suddenly raised his head.
"Twenty thousand years ago, Immortal Venerable Hongchen entered the Divine Gate into seclusion to prevent its reopening." Ling Yin looked at the various immortals before him. "Now, the Chaos Core can still be controlled, but the foundation stone that sealed it has been destroyed. Once the chaos within the Divine Gate is released, not only will the Upper Heaven, the Three Realms, and the Nine Provinces be affected, but countless smaller worlds below will also be annihilated. We, who hold positions in the Upper Heaven and enjoy the offerings from various realms, should now shoulder our responsibilities and guard this endless Divine Gate. Even if the Upper Heaven is destroyed, we must not allow even a trace of chaos to enter the Lower Heaven—does anyone have any objections?"
The immortals bowed and said in unison, "We are willing to follow the Supreme God and defend the Gate of Endless Gods to the death."
Ling Yin and Yao Shuo exchanged a glance, nodded to him, and led the group straight towards the Sixteenth Heaven.
"All of you of Yaoshuo Palace, listen to my command! Follow me to the Three Realms and Nine Provinces. Ten immortals will guard each region. If the Divine Gate falls, form the Seven Killings Formation to annihilate the Upper Realm and forever close the Heavenly Gate!" Yaoshuo said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The many generals of Yaoshuo Palace dispersed to various regions and states.
Since Tiaoxu and Shiye's identities were too conspicuous to leave, they could only send Yong'an, the little fairy beside Kongxuan, to sneak out of the Upper Realm in the chaos.
Despite the suddenness of the event, the immortals in the various levels of the Upper Heaven who were unable to enter the Sixteenth Heaven were all on high alert, guarding their respective palaces. Ling Yin Yaoshuo and Hong Chen had already made various preparations over the past 20,000 years. In less than half an hour, a thick barrier rose up throughout the Upper Heaven, like an impregnable fortress, preventing even a gust of wind from entering.
Feng Wuyou, who had secretly slipped away to the River of Forgetfulness to drink water, discovered that she could not go back.
"What does this mean?" Feng Wuyou stood with his hands on his hips, looking up at the magnificent Heavenly Gate before him. "Don't you immortals even allow a carefree beast like Wuyou to drink water?"
Tianmen stretched and opened his eyes: "You really are lucky."
Feng Wuyou was puzzled, but he vaguely sensed something was off about what he was saying. He sat cross-legged by the Heavenly Gate and said, "I'll wait for Jiang Gu to come back and take me up. Fellow Daoist, let's chat. How old are you? Have you had a child yet?"
"..." Tianmen looked at the heavy barrier behind him and the immortals who were trying to fight against the Heavenly Dao with their bodies, then looked at the little fat horse at his feet who was still unaware, sighed silently, and looked down at the Three Realms that were still in the midst of a chaotic battle.
Boundless.
The emaciated man lay on the bed, his face deathly pale, listening to the report from the visitor: "Lord Wufang, the Chaosu Realm and the Yunguang Realm have joined forces and are attacking."
Wu Fang struggled to open his eyes: "How much longer can my immortal bones hold out?"
"Your Majesty, it will be within ten hours."
Wu Fang felt a sharp pain in his chest and sat up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed.
"Your Majesty." His family members and disciples, who were standing by his side, rushed to help him, but he stopped them by raising his hand.
"This chaotic energy is truly formidable. Yun Guang is brave but reckless; he has arbitrarily tampered with the foundation stone sealing the chaos. I'm afraid the Upper Heavens will be thrown into chaos." He covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
"Your Majesty!" someone rushed in to report, "The Upper Heaven has activated a barrier of immortal power, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. All auras are completely blocked. We cannot contact any of the immortals in the Upper Heaven, and we have no idea what has happened."
"Your Majesty! The God of War Yao Shuo led many generals of Yao Shuo Palace to the Three Realms and Nine Provinces, and then disappeared. We dare not approach to pursue them." Another person reported.
Wu Fang's expression was grave as he struggled to his feet: "Something must have happened in Shangchongtian."
Someone nearby said, "Master, Lingjing is still in Taijin Divine Continent..."
"We can't worry about her now." Wu Fang picked up the knife beside the bed. "All of you, come with me to fight!"
"yes!"
The entire Wufang Realm emerged from their ranks.
But the further they went, the more they sensed something was wrong. The surrounding immortal energy became increasingly murky, until someone exclaimed, "What's going on! Why have my immortal bones turned black?!"
Following this, many other people experienced the same thing. However, the more immortal power they used, the more their immortal bones were corroded.
"Don't make any rash moves!" Wu Fang shouted, brandishing his sword.
He looked up at the gloom that enveloped the heavens above, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Chaosu Boundary.
Chao Su looked at the black stone that Yun Guang was playing with, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. He said, "Just now, the Heavenly Realm activated its immortal power barrier for some reason, and no news could get down. Something must have happened."
"Isn't it good that something's happened?" Yun Guang laughed. "Those immortals in the Upper Heaven have lived long enough. The more chaotic they are, the more opportunities we have to attack the Upper Heaven."
Chao Su still had a furrowed brow. He and Wu Fang had been locked in a battle for tens of thousands of years, and both sides had suffered injuries. However, he was already exhausted. But Yun Guang suddenly intervened, causing the situation to change drastically. Wu Fang was about to die, but he felt no joy at all. Instead, he was even more worried.
This chaotic core is like a knife that could fall at any moment; if you're not careful, you'll be harmed instead. Although he has ambition, he looks down on Yun Guang's ruthless and unscrupulous ways of being both righteous and evil.
"Lord Chaosu and Lord Yunguang, without any means to lead their men into battle, suddenly retreated halfway through." Someone reported, "The battlefield is filled with turbid air, and many of our immortal bones have been eroded by the chaotic energy and have already... begun to rot."
Chao Su's expression changed slightly.
"There are always deaths in war." Yun Guang tossed the stone in his hand. "Lord Chao Su, rest assured, they will suffer even more deaths on their side."
Just as Chao Su was about to speak, someone rushed over and said, "Your Excellencies, the Immortal Lord Yong'an of the Nine Heavens' Fate Bureau has arrived."
Seeing that Chao Su was nervous, Yun Guang said, "Don't worry, Yong An is Kong Xuan's man. It was his idea to use the foundation stone of the Chaos Core Seal. He's probably here to deliver a message."
Chao Su raised his hand: "Please come in, Immortal Lord."
Yong'an hurriedly entered the room, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Lord Yunguang and Lord Chaosu."
"I wonder what brings Immortal Lord Yong'an here?" Yun Guang asked. "And why has a barrier of immortal power been erected in the Upper Heaven?"
“The Divine Gate is about to open, and chaos will pour out. If we are not careful, the entire Upper Realm will be doomed.” Yong’an said, “Immortal Tiaoxu has ordered that the two of you must guide the chaotic energy leaking from the Three Realms into the Nine Provinces, and then pour it down to the Lower Realm to break the deadlock.”
Chao Su frowned and disagreed, saying, "Even immortals cannot withstand the chaotic energy. If it is carelessly poured down to the mortal realm, wouldn't it cause a great disaster?"
"Lord Chaosu, this is the will of Immortal Tiaoxu, as well as the will of God Lingyin and Prince Yaoshuo. Do you have a better plan?" Yong'an raised his head, looking at him without fear. "Or would you rather watch all the people of the Three Realms perish with their immortal bones eroded?"
Chao Su asked, "Why haven't any other immortals come?"
"The immortals have already gone to guard the Gate of Boundless Gods, and besides, the barrier of immortal power has fallen, so they cannot leave the Upper Heaven even half a step." A scroll appeared in Yong'an's hand. "If Your Majesty still has any questions, this is the handwriting of the Immortal Tiaoxu."
Chao Su took it and examined it closely, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Wang Ting, who was hiding in the shadows, felt more and more uneasy as he listened. But seeing that his father, Chao Su, did not refute him for a long time, he was so anxious that he wanted to run out and shake him awake. However, he was still young, and his father never listened to his opinions. He was afraid that it would be in vain if he went out.
However, the chaotic energy is already troublesome in the upper realm, so there is no reason to send it to the lower realm. If Chao Su does this, I'm afraid even the Heavenly Dao will not let him off the hook.
No, he has to think of a way.
Cangwu and Yaoyan seem to be in Taijin Shenzhou recently. Although Yaoyan is cold and fierce, he certainly won't sit idly by.
Wang Ting hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
But Chao Su thought differently. If the Upper Heaven was weakened because of this, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He handed the letter to Yun Guang and remained silent.
Yun Guang's eyes darted around: "Since that's the case, then my Yun Guang Realm is naturally willing. I just don't know which small world we should send this chaotic energy to?"
"Below is a small world called the Cultivation World, which contains three continents: Pingze, Wangyue, and Chenyao. Previously, Immortal Tiaoxu had placed the sealed Chaos Core into this world, and this world can still withstand it."
"Now is the time to let it really work."
