Chapter 333 Dao has its limits, did the Queen of Heaven actually betray the Heavenly Court? Lord of the Stars
In front of the cave in Buzhou Duanshan, the chaotic air was hazy and blurry. Five mysterious figures appeared here, staring at the Four Immortals Picture, wondering what the Queen of Heaven had left behind.
Buzhouxian also restrained some of his anger at this time and regained his calm. He asked Gu Luoyan, Xi Biyue and others to sit cross-legged quietly again and open the Four Immortals Diagram.
Soon, brilliant rays of light of laws intertwined and collided there. The four women's seas of consciousness became clear, their cheekbones glowed, and the seals left by the Queen of Heaven revived, forming the pattern of a mysterious key. Finally, with a buzzing sound, they flew towards the Four Immortals Picture.
Boom!!!
At this moment, the heaven and earth were shaking, as if long-sealed shackles were torn apart. Chaos thunders struck down, storms howled, and the entire Buzhou Mountain was shrouded in an ancient aura.
Time flows backwards, waves rise and fall, and the mysterious river of time quietly emerges at this moment, emitting sparkling waves.
In the deeper place, a vague mysterious river can be seen emerging, but it has dried up.
"The Mother River of Ten Thousand Paths..."
The deep and majestic voice whispered, with a hint of vibration.
"After the great catastrophe of the heavens, the Ten Thousand Paths Mother River dried up. It is said that this was because the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the Free Heaven found an object at the source of the Ten Thousand Paths Mother River, which eventually caused the Ten Thousand Paths Mother River to dry up."
The figure with a sacred aura around him spoke, his eyes thoughtful.
"Where is that thing now?" asked another creature.
"You know clearly which of your hands it is in."
The coldness on Buzhou Xian's jade face became even more intense, but it did not flare up.
The others did not speak at this moment, but stared at the Four Immortals Picture, in which there was brilliant light, mist billowing, and an aura that transcended time and space, and the past scenes were repeating themselves.
This is a taboo. Even with their level of cultivation, they cannot touch it. They can only use the means left by the Queen to see the truth of the past.
Time and space were twisting, and the light in the Four Immortals Picture became brighter and brighter. Finally, there seemed to be a vague and tall figure condensing there, as if it was staring at everyone from across a distant time and space.
This vague and majestic figure stood quietly in the universe, like the lord of the heavens, supreme and high, above everything, with all things bowing down to him.
However, no matter who it is, no one can see his true appearance. He seems to not exist in the present world, nor in the past or future.
“Emperor of Heaven…”
There was a creature whispering in a shocked voice, and then its body shook, and it couldn't help but stagger back a few steps, unable to bear the oppressive feeling brought by that deep and vast gaze.
Buzhou Xian was also under tremendous pressure and could not imagine how powerful the Emperor of Heaven was in his prime.
This is just a vague afterimage he left behind, and I don't know which era it was imprinted in.
"What is at the end of the Mother River?"
Amidst the hazy scene, whispers were heard.
Beside that tall and majestic figure, there appeared magnificent and majestic mountains. On the top of the mountains, there was fairy light, a fairy pool was crystal clear, and mist was gushing out. A graceful and noble figure appeared there.
“Master…”
Buzhou Xian's eyes suddenly became a little excited, full of remembrance and longing, staring at the graceful and noble figure.
The scene revealed after the Four Immortals Picture was opened was exactly the conversation between the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven on the bank of the Yaochi Lake in Kunlun Mountain.
Although the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven are not a couple, as beings who rule over all the immortals and female immortals in the world, their relationship is extraordinary and they often interact with each other.
The rest of the beings from the major forbidden areas in the heavens are also staring at that place at this moment, unwilling to miss any details.
"That's where everything originated from." replied the Emperor of Heaven.
"The origin of everything?" The Queen seemed surprised.
"The origin of civilization, the origin of the universe, and the true truth of transcendence..."
“When I transcend, that will be the day when all living beings in heaven and earth will transcend with me.” The Emperor of Heaven replied slowly.
"The world is a prison, it has always been like this. The essence of transcendence is always from a small puddle to a small pool, and then to a river or ocean..."
"The transcendence you seek is only to move from this world to another more vast and boundless world. The Tao is boundless, so how can there be true transcendence?" The Queen of Heaven shook her head and did not agree with this statement.
"The path has its limits, but you just haven't reached the end yet." said the Emperor of Heaven.
"I hope your persistence is not wrong. I can no longer hide it from you..."
The queen was silent for a long time, and then she spoke again, but her tone was a little tired.
"If I can't hide it, then I won't hide it. The Lord of Freedom has already gone into seclusion."
"He nurtured the demon race and disrupted the foundation of our Heavenly Court. It is time to settle this account with him."
"During this period of time, many immortals have disappeared from Heaven. Although I have not investigated, it must be related to the demons." The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand.
"Is it really related to the demons?" The Queen asked with a complicated tone.
"how?"
"Don't you even believe what I say?" The Emperor of Heaven seemed to laugh.
The Queen was silent.
On the top of Kunlun Mountain, beside the Yaochi Lake, light rain fell and finally became blurred. The Emperor of Heaven left and the Queen of Heaven also stood there in silence for a long time.
Boom!!!
After an unknown amount of time, a terrifying sound that shook the earth and seemed to split the chaos was heard, and the Yao Chi, which had been very quiet and peaceful, suddenly fell into chaos.
The mountains shook, the sky collapsed, and fire fell. Countless female fairies flew out from the caves in the immortal mountains in panic.
No one knows what happened.
Not only was the Yao Chi in chaos, the entire Heavenly Palace was in chaos. There were sounds of great battles everywhere, fairy lights were everywhere, and divine weapons were rushing into the sky.
One after another, the immortal handprints crossed the sky and earth, slapping past, blood and fire spread, and the immortal mountains were shattered...
Indistinctly, in the deepest level of time and space, three terrifying and boundless figures were seen fighting.
The most obvious figure was dressed in casual clothes, elegant and unrestrained, with a sense of being a leader who dominated the country, dominated the universe, and swallowed up all the mountains and rivers.
However, during the battle, he was seen in a miserable state, with his clothes torn and blood all over his body, and he was suppressed below.
If there hadn't been another graceful and noble figure there to help, he would have been seriously injured.
"The war that initially caused the destruction of the heavens was indeed caused by the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Freedom..."
"As powerful as the Lord of Freedom, he was suppressed so severely by the Emperor of Heaven. If it weren't for the Queen of Heaven's assistance, the Lord of Freedom would never be a match for the Emperor of Heaven."
"It seems that the truth has come to light."
"The Queen of Heaven joined forces with the Lord of Freedom to besiege the Emperor of Heaven, which led to the shattering of the heavens and the collapse of the Heavenly Court. This is why the Emperor of Heaven wanted to reorganize the heavens and return to avenge the former rebels..."
Several forbidden zone beings stared at the revealed scene and vaguely guessed the truth and facts of the past.
"Master, there is no way she would betray Heaven..." Buzhou Xian kept shaking his head, not believing this truth.
This shocking battle did not last long before the place became blurry, as if it had returned to chaos. But the outcome was self-evident.
Finally, the Queen of Heaven fell into silence and disappeared, leaving behind a prophecy, and fell from the sky.
The Lord of Freedom is nowhere to be found, and the Emperor of Heaven seems to have suffered a serious blow. He has been reincarnated, trying to return and rule the world again.
In front of the cave, the Four Immortals Picture was still emitting rays of light, and then it rose and fell. The portal inside it opened, and endless immortal treasures gushed out. There were all kinds of glittering weapons, magical materials, holy medicines, as well as various rare scriptures and elixirs, etc., which were rarely seen in the world and could not be seen in the heavens at all.
However, at this moment, all the people in the restricted area were silent. They were still immersed in the scenes just now and did not pay attention to these.
To the former heaven, the various worlds of the heavens today are actually the human world.
When the Emperor of Heaven returns, he will certainly clear up everything, and all the people in the heavens and in all realms will eventually be held accountable.
"No matter whether our stance is right or wrong, once the Emperor returns, we will surely be liquidated."
"Everyone present here is basically an enemy of Heaven and a rebel..."
"I'm curious, what is the Queen hiding from the Emperor?"
"However, what the Emperor of Heaven said, that the Lord of Freedom has been nurturing the demon race, is it true or not? According to rumors, Freedom Heaven is indeed the birthplace of the demon race. Before Freedom Heaven, there were no so-called demon races in the world."
“Even in the midst of a heavenly calamity, there will be no karmic obstacles or demonic demons. For immortals who have ascended to heaven, there will be no demonic calamities in the calamities they must go through during each primordial calamity…”
"Haha, the truth or not is not important. What is important is the position. After the Emperor of Heaven returns, he will definitely not let go of all the heavens and all realms. If we don't want to be liquidated, we must prepare early."
All the beings in the restricted area started talking to each other and preparing for their next move.
After a long silence, Buzhou Xian suddenly looked at the vague figure who had never spoken and said, "Lord of Freedom, where are you now?"
Hearing her question, the other people in the restricted area also looked towards the blurry figure.
There are nine forbidden areas in the heavens today. Except for the Kunlun Immortal Ruins in the ancient heavens, the other eight forbidden areas are on this side of the heavens.
The blurry figure in front of them actually came from the restricted area's boundary tomb, and was also the master of the boundary tomb.
Of course, the Lord of the Realm Tomb has another origin that is well known to all the beings in the forbidden area. He is the will nurtured by the Meteorite Nail refined by the Lord of Freedom. During the great war among the heavens, the Meteorite Nail was stained with the blood of various immortals, and eventually pierced through the laws of the Dao, falling into a mysterious space and time, changing the Dao domain and rules therein.
Therefore, the broken remains of the world and the fragments of the universe would gather there, and over time it was called the Tomb of the World by the world.
The true form of the Lord of the Tomb of the Realm is extremely terrifying, as can be seen from his name, and he can truly nail an immortal to death.
The other lords of the restricted areas were all extremely wary of him.
On the other hand, the Lord of Freedom is definitely one of the most powerful beings since the creation of the world. The Lord of the Tomb of the Realm has followed him and his vision is also extraordinary.
"The master's aura has always been there, but I don't know where he is. Perhaps at the end of Nine Epochs, when the Heavenly Gate opens, the master will return. Without the master, it will be difficult for us to shake the Emperor of Heaven with our strength." The Lord of the Realm Tomb replied calmly.
"Were the demons really created by the Lord of Freedom?" Buzhou Xian asked another question he wanted to know the answer to.
"The way of heaven emphasizes balance. Since the birth of heaven and earth, the energies of good and evil, clear and turbid, have been alternating and have never changed. The way of immortals is constant, and the way of demons will naturally appear as well. Even if there is no master, the way of demons will come into being..." The Lord of the Realm Tomb replied, which was a disguised acknowledgement of this fact.
"Regardless of what the Heavenly Emperor has concealed, it seems that the Lord of Freedom has nurtured and created the demon race, which is a foregone conclusion. During many great disasters of heaven and earth, the demon race came out in full force and fought against the ancient heaven. This must be the reason."
“I just wonder if the expulsion of the Twelve Barbarian Ancestors from the Ancient Heaven Realm has anything to do with this matter.” Another lord of the restricted area suddenly sneered.
"The barbarians were born before the human race. Before the Heavenly Emperor established the Heavenly Court, it was always believed that the barbarians were the masters of the heavens. They slaughtered the human race many times, so they were expelled and sealed by the Heavenly Emperor. They are also being cleaned up."
The Lord of the restricted area, who was filled with sacred aura, said lightly.
Buzhouxian remained silent. She still didn't believe that the Queen of Heaven had joined forces with the Lord of Freedom to betray the Heavenly Court.
"That Jiang Lan is the new emperor mentioned in the prophecy left by the Queen Mother?"
Suddenly, the Lord of the Boundary Tomb thought of something and suddenly asked.
The eyes of the other restricted area masters also fell on Buzhou Xian, because Buzhou Xian was the only person who had come into contact with Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan returned to the ancient heavenly realm, and even they could not forcibly descend into the ancient heavenly realm.
If you want to contact Jiang Lan now, you can only rely on Buzhouxian.
"It is indeed him. This ancient secret treasure of the immortals was also left for him by the master in the prophecy to fight against the Emperor of Heaven." Buzhou Xian said lightly.
"Haha, I would like to meet this new emperor. If we want to become immortals when rebuilding the heaven in the future, we will have to rely on this new emperor."
"Speaking of which, it is Buzhouxian who has foresight and has established a relationship with him early on."
"After ascending to heaven, I'm afraid I won't be as free and easy as I am now. In the ancient heaven, even immortals would encounter various disasters in every primordial catastrophe. Without the protection of heaven, it would be difficult to survive these disasters."
Several restricted area masters seemed to be moved.
Buzhouxian remained silent. She had become an immortal before, so she naturally knew that after becoming an immortal, she would not be truly free and easy. Every calamity was accompanied by three disasters and nine difficulties.
Of course, the so-called Nine Tribulations Immortal also came from this.
Every time one survives a Hunyuan catastrophe, he is called a catastrophe immortal. The catastrophe encountered in the next Hunyuan catastrophe will be even more terrifying.
When the Emperor of Heaven established the Ancient Heaven, he already had the strength of a Nine Tribulations Immortal. He could be said to be the first Nine Tribulations Immortal since the creation of the world.
Apart from the Emperor of Heaven, the second Nine Tribulations Immortal is the Lord of Freedom who created the Free Heaven.
Apart from this, no one has ever heard of anyone who has achieved the status of a Nine Tribulations Immortal. Not even the Queen of Heaven has reached such a realm.
After the establishment of the ancient heaven, the Emperor of Heaven ruled over the heavens, conferred titles on the immortals, and also protected them.
Therefore, many disasters were blocked for the immortals. The immortals who were appointed by the Heavenly Court would be divided into first-era immortals, second-era immortals... according to the magic power accumulated during their practice, corresponding to the free immortals who did not enter the Heavenly Court.
When the free-spirited immortals enter the free-spirited heaven, they are not protected by the heavenly court and are very likely to die in the three disasters and nine calamities, so their numbers are very rare.
By the same token, because of the trials and tribulations of the three disasters and nine tribulations, the strength of the Zizai Immortal is far superior to the Heavenly Court-conferred Immortal with the same magical powers.
However, from the establishment to the collapse of the ancient heaven, there has never been a Nine-Epoch Immortal with the magical power of Nine-Epoch Hunyuan Calamity.
"If possible, please ask Jiang Lan to come to the Zhutian. I think the old subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven will also make some moves at this time. The ancient heaven may not be as safe as the Zhutian."
"Since Jiang Lan is the new emperor, he will definitely become a thorn in the side of the old emperor. They can't wait to get rid of him."
Then, the Lord of the Jie Tomb left these words before leaving Buzhou Broken Mountain.
He was actually not very interested in the ancient secret treasures left by the Queen of Heaven.
The origins of the other masters of the restricted areas are also very mysterious. They will try to snatch the Four Immortal Maps, and they are also interested in other things besides the prophecy left by the Queen Mother.
That pile of magical materials and tools did not have much appeal to them, so they did not lower themselves to ask for them.
After the Lord of the Boundary Tomb left, they also left one after another and did not stay for long.
Buzhouxian's face was covered with frost, and with a wave of her white hand, she closed the door to the ancient secret treasure of the immortals. The divine materials and immortal substances left by the Queen of Heaven far exceeded the accumulated resources of any world, and even the master of the world would be tempted and covet them.
However, the strength of the lords of the restricted areas is far superior to that of the realm masters, and their accumulation over many eras is far beyond these foundations, so naturally they look down on them.
"The item that Jiang Ruxian brought out from the Zhutian Palace must be in the hands of one of them..."
Buzhou Xiandai frowned and sighed imperceptibly.
"Master, do you want me to contact Jiang Lan? When he left the ancient heavenly realm, he used the power of cause and effect to refine a communication jade talisman for us. Even though we are separated by two realms, we can still communicate," Gu Luoyan said with concern.
"Although the Ancient Heaven Realm is not safe, Jiang Lan should be able to deal with it with his strength. Even the Lord of the Realm Tomb here may not have good intentions..."
"Let's first tell him what happened today and see what he decides." Buzhou Xian sighed, his face showing even more sorrow.
The scene she saw today made it hard for her to believe that in the end it would be the Queen of Heaven who would join hands with the Lord of Freedom to fight against the Emperor of Heaven.
Doesn't this mean that the Queen Mother betrayed the ancient heaven, rather than what she believed, that the Emperor of Heaven was heartless and ungrateful, and killed the Queen Mother in order to destroy all living beings?
"There must be some secret that I don't know..."
…
Inside the world, on an isolated island near the boundless sea in the land of Kyushu.
Ge Qixing and other masters of the Star Gate brought Li Qingxian all the way from the Shen'en Continent to this place.
They did not choose to set foot on the land of Kyushu, but after landing on this island, they used a mysterious jade talisman to open the formation covering this isolated island.
With a flash of divine light, the scene on the isolated island changed. A vortex of time and space appeared in the central area. Wisps of the power of nothingness permeated from it, and an ancient city could be vaguely seen hidden in it.
"The long-lost ancient Starry Sky Deceiving Formation..." Li Qingxian recognized the formation and was surprised.
“This is an ancient formation that was created by the Lord of the Stars himself. Although less than one-tenth of it is left, it is still not something that the living beings in Kyushu can perceive today.” The old man with a weathered look on his face spoke with a slightly complacent tone.
His name is Elder Xingming. He is the powerful elder of the Star Gate and has a very high status in the Star Gate.
Even though Ge Qixing worshipped that mysterious ancient being as his teacher, he was still very polite and respectful to Elder Xing Ming.
Li Qingxian nodded, not caring, and followed everyone else into the vortex of time and space.
Elder Xingming was very satisfied to see that she was so tactful.
On the other side of the vortex of time and space is a magnificent ancient city, covering a vast area and being very quiet. The ancient long street is shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and occasionally one can see the remains of huge stars.
The whole world was dark, with bright starlight overhead and galaxies hanging down, but the sun was not visible. In the void, floating palaces could be seen, magnificent and solemn, like embellishments of stars.
"Elder Xingming..."
When Li Qingxian and others set foot in this ancient city, a group of monks dressed in the costumes of the Star Gate were already waiting there.
"Of the Five Seasons Divine Bloodline, only the last one is missing." Someone reported.
Elder Xing Ming immediately showed a look of joy on his face.
After returning here, Ge Qixing also showed a relieved expression.
“Have the people arrived yet?”
Suddenly, there was a humming sound in the void, ripples spread, and four ancient and weathered figures appeared there out of thin air.
The eyes of three of them seemed to contain brilliant stars, and the wide robes they were wearing were made of precious 100,000-year-old red Mars spider silk. One could see the starlight condensed all over the sky, the rules and order intertwined, and the aura was extremely powerful.
The old man in black robe in the middle was the mysterious being whom Ge Qixing worshipped as his master.
"Reporting to the envoy, this person is the bloodline of the Li family." Elder Xingming was also very respectful in front of the old man in black robe.
The messenger of the Star Gate should actually be called God's messenger. His origin has a great connection with the Lord of the Stars, and his status is second only to the gate master and others.
"To enter my Gate of Stars, you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."
The old man in black robe stared at Li Qingxian for a few seconds, as if to confirm whether there was anything abnormal about her, and then said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingxian didn't waste any words. According to the agreement she had made with Jiang Lan, she swore the Heavenly Oath in front of everyone from the Star Gate.
In the darkness, runes of the great way flickered one after another, and at the moment of disappearing, they seemed to be distorted for a moment.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the Star Gate finally felt relieved and their vigilance towards Li Qingxian disappeared.
“If you are a sensible person, the great Lord of the Stars will protect you. After the God of Five Seasons returns, he will also bless his descendants.” A faint smile appeared on the face of the old man in black robe.
Li Qingxian didn't say much, but looked around. This was actually a world independent of the outside world. It was at a very high level, far beyond the small world she had condensed.
"Is this a vast world?" she couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. And it's a complete universe, not a fragment of it. What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg of the Star Gate."
The old man in black robe smiled faintly, his tone slightly arrogant.
The Gate of Stars was built by the Lord of Stars. In the ancient heavenly court, the Lord of Stars was second only to the emperor and above all the immortals. All the star gods of the five directions of east, south, west, north and center had to obey him.
The Ancient Star Sect is the legacy left by the Lord of the Stars in the human world.
After the great war in the heavens, the world where the Gate of Stars was located was not destroyed and was protected by the Lord of Stars.
