Chapter 465: The True Origin Of Transcendence

Chapter 465: The True Origin Of Transcendence

The Departed Land was dimly lit, with remnants and ghostly creatures roaming around. They appeared indistinctly as they were all manifestations of fragmented spirits. Even though there had been transcendent beings here, their remnants that were left behind after death were insignificant and would eventually be completely erased. Wang Xuan reached a consensus with the Book of Ages and followed it as they ran forward. They surged forward with considerable force with every step landing like a cannonball.

Finally, he arrived at the edge of a vast canyon. He then leapt down into it and then descended deep into the earth's depths. He followed a crack until he reached a magnificent but ruined palace. After countless ages, this place that was shrouded in chaotic aura still displayed extraordinary characteristics. The Central Earth Palace was sealed shut, with formations at work.

"This is a vital place of the bygone transcendent civilization. It was revived in this mythical era but it gradually faded in this era's twilight," the Book of Ages explained. This place was absolutely secretive, it was beyond the reach of the outside world.

As the gates opened, Wang Xuan stepped inside and immediately felt as if he had entered a completely different world. Ahead, the starry river sparkled and the universe stretched infinitely. It was as if he had arrived beyond the heavens.

However, there were no spaceships or transcendent beings observing. There was only profound tranquility. As he turned around, the palace gates closed behind him and the Departed Land disappeared from view. Just like a door to the stars was closed, contact with the outside world was cut off.

"Do you have some remarkable means that you think can suppress me? Come on then," the Book of Ages spoke calmly.

Wang Xuan silently cursed. It was an old sly fox indeed. It seemed to have sensed something and he was unable to fool it.

"Shouldn’t you start telling me stories first?" Wang Xuan calmly replied as he took out the Godslaying Banner to deceive it. Moreover, with slight hesitation the Iron Awl also appeared in his left hand. Then, he put on a calm and confident demeanor to gain assurance from this.

"This is......the Dao Shielding Banner!?" exclaimed the Book of Ages as it was stunned. The appearance of these two artifacts exceeded its expectations.

It examined them and said, "There seems to be a problem with them. Are they fragmented parts after being split? They all seem a bit off, as if they are but not."

"Do you recognize the Dao Shielding Banner?" Wang Xuan asked calmly.

"Of course, how can I call myself the Book of Ages if I don't recognize it under the same transcendent cosmos?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan became even more certain that this was likely an artifact of the Old Covenant. Otherwise, how could it traverse vast star domains, transcend time and space, and be so familiar with lost treasures?

"Sword of Mortal, Roaming Ark, Life Essence Furnace, are you aware of them?" he conversed with the Book of Ages.

"Of course I am aware of them. It is precisely because of them that the birth of Land of the Undying, Land of Divine, and Technological Life Realm transcendent civilizations came into being," the Book of Ages responded affirmatively.

Originally, Wang Xuan had intended on taking action against it. He was looking for an opportunity to tear the book. But now, he restrained himself because he was stunned, his mind was shaken.

What was this situation? Several treasures had created three other major mythological realms?

He was somewhat puzzled and very shocked. He needed to understand.

The Book of Ages said, "Although unwilling to admit it, and even though there are people in the three major domains of Immortality, Divinity, and Technology who are trying hard to conceal and hide the past. The truth is just that, it’s irrefutable. Although myths appear sporadically, the inheritance indeed comes from the same source if it was traced back."

Wang Xuan could probably understand that mentality. After all, some small tribes in the Old World would like to claim the entire universe as their own beginning. Moreover, these three major domains had indeed shone brilliantly throughout history. They had long since forged their own paths and were naturally more willing to embellish the past.

As the Book of Ages reached this point, a gentle female figure appeared in front of the towering figure of the Blade Demon. He decisively swung his blade, and with a splatter, blood blossomed. He didn't even furrow his brows as he killed the woman. It strided forward and left the portal, heading towards Wang Xuan.

"I......don't blame you......" The last spiritual fragments of the woman's spirit vaguely conveyed a fluctuation, and then everything fell silent.

Wang Xuan frowned. This man was cruel and ruthless. He was simply a beast compared to Wang Zhexian. The latter was willing to stay in the mundane world and decay with a woman, their temperament and character were completely different.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan raised his head abruptly. He saw a figure forming, it was a figure of Wu Yin being constructed from fragments of mental light. Was she temporarily detained by the Book of Ages, or did it tamper with her consciousness last time and left some fragments of her soul behind?

"What are you doing?" asked Wang Xuan with anger. Last time, the Book of Ages not only used means against Zhao Qinghan but also seemed to have acted against Wu Yin.

"One's heart must be heartless, then the Great Dao will naturally become clear. Your path should begin with letting go of the illusions of the mundane world. By slaying this woman, you will enlighten your Dao heart, it will allow you to go further," the Book of Ages spoke.

"Screw you!" exclaimed Wang Xuan. He was filled with killing intent. This book had issues as it was too biased. He had no other choice, he just wanted to tear it apart!

Without a doubt, Wu Yin's spiritual light had been infused with another woman's emotions. Now she felt a headache and whispered, "I know you're leaving. I......don't blame you. This life is destined to be fruitless......" She was embodying that woman's spirit.

Wang Xuan's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp. He said, "Release her, don't manipulate the minds of people around me!"

The Book of Ages said, "Since I detained a portion of her spiritual light last time, it's not appropriate to release her directly now. You need to prove yourself first. I need to see whether you are worthy of my continued attention. You’ll need to defeat the Blade Demon, who has never experienced defeat in his life!" The towering man approached, bringing with him an endless sense of oppression. The bright Dao light poured down, as if bringing down an entire universe of stars.

Boom!

Suddenly, the outside world shook violently. All transcendents trembled in their minds and many spaceships in the cosmic void trembled. Something unexpected had happened in this area. In the distance, a brilliant large barrier emerged, and a great battle erupted within it. A supremely powerful god fell on the spot. It was bloodied and shattered by someone.

The Epic Chapter begins. Strong contenders from the four domains were all eager to seize the semi-matured treasures. Attacks came from the Immortal Realm to the Divine Barrier.

Currently, Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, the Blood Emperor, the War God, and others in the main bodies within the Great Barrier all mobilized. Various powerful gods, even transcendent ones appeared successively. This made the impending battle extremely terrifying.

Someone immediately found the semi-matured treasure and intended to take it away. The resonance of the remnants of transcendence in the real world made people extremely uneasy.

The Immortal Umbrella and the Divine Palace were resonating even though their dormant location was unknown. It was causing incredibly terrifying phenomena and was shaking the Land of the Undying.

"Some ambitious individuals not only seek to seize the semi-matured treasures but they probably also have their eyes on the fully matured ones. They are aiming to capture the Divine Palace, the Immortal Umbrella, and the Pool of Life. This gathering is not going to be fun. There may be a lot of bloodshed and violence!" The Book of Ages spoke solemnly, then continued, "Creatures at the level of powerful gods are indeed not to be trifled with. This assembly is complicated, it’s filled with plots and death. The Land of the Undying may be stained with blood!"

Wang Xuan avoided the Blade Demon. His gaze was strange. Instead of focusing on his opponent, he looked at the Book of Ages.

"Why not prove yourself instead of staring at me?" said the Book of Ages as it felt something amiss. It was puzzled by the sudden change in his gaze.

Like lightning, Wang Xuan wielded the Godslaying Banner and charged toward the Book of Ages!

"Ridiculous! You haven't even proven yourself, yet you want to run? Do you take me for prey? Deal with the Blade Demon first!" The Book of Ages shouted at him with displeasure.
