Chapter 1352: An Unexpected Circumstance

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Shi Tianhao stood on the Higan Golden Bridge and gazed at the Immortal Dragon City. His eyes sparkled with voluminous divine light.

His body started phasing between his physical flesh and his immortal soul avatar, the Primal Taiji Diagram. He was brimming with vitality, with the energy of all life in creation and these energies intertwined with the chaotic energy of the primitive world at its beginning when all was unknown and uncertain. Yet, they were independent and rippled continuously in the air.

These two parts were perfectly integrated in one moment and existed in an impeccable equilibrium, and they became independent in the next with a clear distinction to the other.

These two forces oscillated between one another while Shi Tianhao stared straight at the Immortal Dragon City. There were tinges of confusion and revelation in his eyes, while his gaze became increasingly clear and flowed with clarity.

The City in the Sky shimmered above Shi Tianhao’s head. The sprawling city loomed over all earth, and this divine city in the heavens was also starting to transform. The Twelve Divine Generals gradually took form and stood facing all directions while they shook the entire void space around them.

The physical City in the Sky and the Twelve Divine Generals’ spiritual forms phased back and forth continuously as well.

Zhu Yi watched on, and a Yi Daoist Talisman flashed by in his eyes as he smiled faintly.

Besides the Ancient Satanic Heart Curse, the changes that were happening to the Immortal Dragon City was Shi Tianhao’s second serendipitous opportunity to break through the last checkpoint and continue on the Way of the Two Elements of Creation, so that he could form a perfect virtual entity.

The changes happening to the Immortal Dragon City were somewhat similar in essence to Shi Tianhao’s current state in some sense. There was no wonder that they could mutually benefit from each other, so that Shi Tianhao could make that final step much quicker than otherwise.

“This was part of Master’s consideration for asking Shi Tianhao to follow me down after all,” Zhu Yi thought to himself.

He felt a sentimental rush as he observed Shi Tianhao’s transformations. He originated from the same Daoist principles and foundations, and even though he took a different path from his junior brother, he could still relate, and he even felt inspired by what was happening.

This was especially so after he studied Wang Lin’s Ancient Satanic Heart Curse. He could feel that his mind was much more agile and his thoughts much smoother, and some things that he couldn’t figure out before we suddenly clear as crystal.

The Immortal Dragon City in the void gradually shifted out from the crack in the void while Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi gazed upon it. Its colossal size seemed to fill up the entire void space.

The enormous city wall’s surface shimmered with a layer of blurry radiance besides the blinding golden lights, as if it was a long river of time.

It was hard to determine the passage of time contained within even if one observed this radiance. It felt as if time had completely stopped if one looked casually, and the river water was completely frozen solid without a single inch of movement.

However, it felt immensely different upon closer inspection. Every single inch, every line, and every dot seemed to be transforming constantly, as if the water was flowing at breakneck speed and to the point of no return.

Staring long enough would have an even deeper understanding and experience. The flowing river of time still seemed like it was not moving at all, as if the sprawling river would remain unchanging, unwavering, and eternal no matter what happened between heaven and earth.

This blurry radiance blanketed over the Immortal Dragon City, and the city wall resembled the river of time itself – impossible to ascertain, indefinite, seemingly eternal yet seemed as if it existed only in that moment.

A consciousness gradually awoke while the river of time loomed over the city wall, and became increasingly clear.

Shi Tianhao didn’t study the river of time’s concept of power closely. He had Lin Feng’s Heaven Extreme Universal Light if he wanted to understand similar principles and concepts.

His attention was all focused on the immense consciousness that was waking up from deep within the Immortal Dragon City, under cover of the river of time. He could feel that the Immortal Dragon City’s strength was coming back and rising up as this consciousness was restored, and various changes were happening as well.

Shi Tianhao suddenly sat down on the Higan Golden Bridge with his legs crossed after a while. He was still staring at the Immortal Dragon City, but the transformations in his body were becoming more conspicuous.

His physical body and his immortal soul was combined into one with the Two-Phase Rotations Divine Stone, and the stone also allowed him to switch between these two forms at whim. Yet, these two forms suddenly started to separate from each other!

His physical body was sitting on top of the Higan Golden Bridge. A primal and barren aura covered Shi Tianhao’s physical body, and his flesh seemed to transform into the ancient pre-world primal universe, when everything was just Chaos, and all was unknown and uncertain, when nothing had form and matter was nonexistent.

Despite all this, there seemed to be a bursting vitality amongst the chaotic barrenness, as if there was a seed hidden underneath the soil, and it could break out of the soil at any time.

The Twelve Divine Generals’ spiritual forms silently glimmered above Shi Tianhao’s physical body. Their appearances were vivid and vivacious, and every single characteristic from their facial features to their armor and weapons were as detailed as they could be.

The Twelve Divine Generals roared into the sky at the same time. “Xian! Xu! Yi! Shuo! Chen! Yi! Jun! Tian! Zhu! Luan! Jie! Fu!”

Every syllable made the void tremble around him.

The specks of boiling vitality hidden within Shi Tianhao’s primal and barren aura became even more riled up, and they suddenly erupted. It felt as if Chaos had been opened up, and the world finally came into existence. The Twelve Divine Generals’ spiritual forms in the void pace above him also changed in tandem.

The Twelve Divine Generals were originally spiritual forms, but the golden radiance around their bodies gradually materialized and transformed into twelve towering golden figures. They were dense and heavy as they stood erected in void space – tall, dignified and confident.

Shi Tianhao’s physical body sat silently on the Higan Golden Bridge. The chaotic and barren energy intertwined with the brimming vitality, as if it was a cycle that represented the creation and destruction of the universe.

The Twelve Divine Generals’ spirit forms were also phasing back and forth with the twelve golden figures in solid form.

Mighty and flourishing energy of life burst from Shi Tianhao’s Primal Taiji Diagram on the other side. It felt as if the barren universe had been transformed into a world of destiny, and all life was growing and developing.

There was a faint essence of barren Chaos hidden underneath this world that was full of life, as if it was the beginning and origin of all beings in the world.

When Destiny became too rich, it would go on a path towards it final destination. At its end, a new world would be created – the final destination was also the beginning.

Shi Tianhao’s Taiji Diagram hung in the sky above while the sprawling City in the Sky hovered above him. It was in tatters, but the tremendous power contained within was still enough to instill fear into people’s hearts.

This immense city was physical interacting with another spiritual city, and they were constantly transforming.

The shining city was like a spiritual body, and people couldn’t feel the same overbearing aura that came from the City in the Sky, which felt as if it reigned supreme over the entire world. This shining city appeared as plain as ever and didn’t emanate with any kind of unique aura.

However, this shining city fell into Zhu Yi’s eyes and he could feel the peculiar energy that seemed to stretch across the starry skies and extended into the ends of the world.

The City in the Sky and this shining city intertwined much like Shi Tianhao’s immortal soul, where the energy of all life and the beginning of the great primal world interacted with each other.

Shi Tianhao’s immortal soul and his physical body were separated at this moment. They seemed to be independent from each other, but yet there appeared to be a mystical connection between them, as if they were communicating with one another – independent yet integrated as one.

The City in the Sky and the Celestial Sky Formation had been seamlessly bonded together since the Antiquity Age and had been ever since then, and they had persisted through the timeless years. But now, they were separated as well, and both were also undergoing through mystical transformations.

They appeared like they were separated physically, but their connection was similar to Shi Tianhao’s own body – they were just so intricately linked.

Zhu Yi observed Shi Tianhao and a faint smile flashed across his face. “The mission is almost complete.”

Shi Tianhao was inside the Void Battleground, which was constantly shifting and dangers were abound. Mighty cultivators from the Dragon race could appear at any moment, but Shi Tianhao didn’t hesitate for a second. He attempted to breach the second-level immortal soul stage in such a perilous circumstance!

Zhu Yi had no dispute regarding his decision. He just stood beside his junior brother on top of the Higan Golden Bridge while he stared at the Immortal Dragon City, and silently casted spells to protect Shi Tianhao.

The chaotic and disorganized spiritual energy gradually became more orderly inside this region of the Void Battleground – everything pointed in one direction, and that was towards Shi Tianhao on the Higan Golden Bridge.

Vast and mystical mana rippled and waved through the void space all around. Even if people realized that something was amiss around this area, nobody dared to come near.

The Immortal Dragon Ciry’s consciousness became increasingly clear, and it slowly began to feel the transformations led by Shi Tianhao, who was just right in front of it.

This tremendous consciousness seemed to withdraw and control its own energy ripples slightly, as if it was observing what Shi Tianhao was doing.

Zhu Yi had no intention to interfere. He stood by the side and watched Shi Tianhao and the Immortal Dragon City in silence.

His eyes sparkled as he felt a tingling in his heart. He turned towards the void in the distance as a crack appeared in that space. A noble-looking and dignified elderly man with white hair strode out from within – the Great Qin Empire’s Prince Gunyang, Shi Zongmao.

Shi Zongmao heaved a sigh of relief once he saw the Immortal Dragon City, before he glanced towards Shi Tianhao on the Higan Golden Bridge and perceived the transformations that were happening. He felt a quiver in his heart and thought to himself, “He... He’s trying to create his virtual entity and reach the second-level immortal soul stage?”

“Creating such disturbance just by attempting to breach the second-level immortal soul stage...” Shi Zongmao shook his head, but he didn’t react much. The entire Divine Lands were already numb to the astonishing feats accomplished by people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, especially the Four Heroes of the Celestial Sect.

If breaking through to the second-level immortal stage didn’t create a disturbance at such a level would probably surprise Shi Zongmao.

Despite this, he was still full of admiration and awe.

Shi Zongmao came before the Higan Golden Bridge and said to Zhu Yi, “Thank you, Yi Zi. Congratulations to the Huangtian Emperor for reaching the second-level immortal soul stage and attaining his virtual entity.”

Zhu Yi replied, “You are too polite, Prince Gunyang. My junior brother is currently breaching the most important checkpoint. He will come and see you once he succeeds.”

Shi Zongmao nodded his head continuously. “Naturally.” He turned towards the Immortal Dragon City as he spoke.

This was his target for coming all this way after all, and it was the most important item for the Great Qin Empire at the moment.

The Great Qin Empire’s royal members considered possessing the Immortal Dragon City as more important to the Great Qin Empire than Shi Yu’s death, even though this was a little disrespectful to their late emperor.

Zhu Yi’s gaze landed upon the Immortal Dragon City as well. “Prince Gunyang, you need to mentally prepare yourself. Things beyond our calculations and expectations have happened, and perhaps even the late Shi Yu couldn’t have predicted this.”

Shi Zongmao was a little taken aback. He scrutinized the Immortal Dragon City for a long while, and his eyes grew a little lackadaisical. He mumbled, “How can it be?”
