Chapter 1138 Doubts about Realms, Battle of the Peaks
It's vanished... a whole realm!
Although the Supreme Lord Wangyue was only speculating, there was no sign of confusion in his tone or expression when he said this. It was clear that he was already certain in his heart, but he could not be truly sure until the very last moment.
Can……
What he said was still too unbelievable. What does the disappearance of a realm mean? It means that all the supreme beings in the entire universe have gone astray, and it also means that the so-called supreme beings are actually false supreme beings!
Even more frightening is...
If his guess is true, then how did that realm disappear? After all, it was an entire cultivation realm, the result of countless cultivators' efforts. Even if the traces of this realm were erased, among the countless cultivators who followed one after another, there would naturally be no shortage of those with a spirit of exploration. Moreover, cultivation is inherently an explosion of accumulated strength, and it's impossible for a realm to simply vanish into thin air.
However, if he were to deny it, Gu Xiu couldn't help but think of the real Ascension Ladder he had seen in that special space. The man in black robes had a conversation with Gu Xiu back then, which made Gu Xiu realize early on that the end of Ascension was the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin.
At that time, Gu Xiu had a feeling more than once that the path of cultivation should not be followed in the way that the public believed. Unfortunately, this feeling was just a feeling and there was no clue to prove it.
But now, what the Supreme Lord of the Moon said almost coincided with the feeling that Gu Xiu had before!
“I know this idea is bold, but this conjecture is not wishful thinking. After I reached the Supreme Realm, I sensed something was wrong. After that, in order to pursue the truth, I went through tribulation to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin.”
"In fact, I am definitely not the only one in this world who has this idea."
"Leaving aside others, take Yin Ruozhuo for example. His five disciples have always been forbidden from reaching the Supreme Realm. Do you think he did this just for the convenience of this operation?"
The words of the Supreme Being of the Moon made Gu Xiu suddenly realize something.
Yes!
The Sword Saint's five disciples had all reached the Void Refinement Realm five hundred years ago. In fact, Sword Two's strength had already reached the Great Perfection of Void Refinement. Five hundred years later, Gu Xiu thought that they should have already stepped into the Supreme Realm. It was only after Gu Xiu returned from the forbidden area that he learned that they had not yet stepped into the Supreme Realm.
This itself is unreasonable.
If it were simply to make it easier for them to infiltrate the Three Enclosures of Sin, it might be a barely plausible explanation, but that explanation is still somewhat weak.
But if it's because the Sword Saint has also noticed the problem with his cultivation...
"The realm that disappeared is between the Refinement of Emptiness and the Supreme Realm?" Gu Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"If my conclusion is correct, there is indeed a vanished realm above the Refinement of Void realm." The Moon Gazing Supreme nodded.
"When I sensed something was wrong, I spent a long time investigating the entire Haoyu region. After finding nothing, I chose to enter the Sanyuan Niehai."
"The Three Enclosures Sea of Sin contains all the powerful beings who ascended to immortality after ancient times, and even sinners who were banished into it in ancient times. If there is a lost realm, then the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin should be the only place where we can find clues."
"Senior, you failed?" Gu Xiu asked.
“It’s obvious.” Supreme Wangyue gave a bitter smile: “I did find some clues, and I even saw someone with true Supreme strength. It’s just a pity that person has been lost under the pollution of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. I don’t have many clues. Apart from becoming more and more certain of my guess, I have no clues or way out.”
"I can not be reconciled."
"So I used every means possible and finally, by chance, I broke out of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. But as soon as I got out, my lifespan was rapidly depleted, and I almost died."
"In the end, I had no choice but to accept the invitation from the Three Immortal Islands to become the Supreme Immortal Puppet, which led to my current state. Becoming the Supreme Immortal Puppet is not a pleasant experience, but the advantage is that it gives me more time to verify my conjectures, so I have made many attempts."
"This Moonlit Spirit Flame is one direction we can try."
"But you said before that you came seeking liberation?" Gu Xiu's heart sank: "Could it be that even you, senior..."
"Failed."
"I've wasted tens of thousands of years, turning myself into this inhuman mess, and finally come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I try, I can't escape failure. I can't even find a single clue; everything has vanished too cleanly."
The words of the Supreme Being of the Moon were like a hammer, striking Gu Xiu's heart.
Extremely dull.
The Moon-Gazing Supreme smiled, seemingly quite satisfied:
"Although we paid such a high price, it was all worth it. I have already told Yin Ruozhuo everything I wanted to tell you. In fact, I came to him to ask for help to get out of this predicament, just to tell him all this and give him the results of my attempts."
"Fortunately, he had the same premonition as me and made some attempts. Although he didn't do as many as I did, he was indeed trying some of the same paths I had tried back then."
"This means I can finally rest easy. As for the road ahead..."
"There will be descendants to follow."
As he spoke, the Supreme Being of the Moon casually pointed, and a ray of spiritual light suddenly appeared, drifting into Gu Xiu's brow altar.
"These are some records of my attempts. I shouldn't give them to you now, as it would affect your future path. So I sealed them and you can only see them after you reach the Void Refinement stage."
"senior……"
"I made several copies of this. I prepared one for everyone who is going to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. It may not be useful, but it may give you some inspiration."
At this point, the Moon Gazing Supreme smiled at Gu Xiu again, then turned and left.
Free-spirited yet decisive.
Look at his back.
Gu Xiu could sense the torment in his heart. He had given everything to find that vanished realm, only to find nothing, even his hope was extinguished. Such a feeling must be unbearable. Gu Xiu wanted to say something, but until the other person's figure completely disappeared, Gu Xiu still didn't say anything.
finally.
All he could do was bow deeply in the direction the other person had left.
Soon.
Two figures soared into the sky.
It was the figure of the Moon Gazing Supreme and the Old Sword Saint. They soared into the sky together and eventually disappeared from everyone's sight. However, everyone could vaguely feel that the clouds in the sky were constantly rolling and the terrifying pressure was constantly stirring. Obviously, there was a great battle that did not belong to the human world taking place there.
That was a great battle between the Moon Gazing Supreme and the Old Sword Saint.
It was a battle between the greatest players of two eras.
The Supreme Lord of the Moon has come seeking death, hoping the Sword Saint will help him find release. This battle will be his last.
Gu Xiu stood below for a long time, but in the end he turned around and went back into the house.
He didn't wait for the final result, because no matter what the outcome, a legend would eventually fall with the passing of time. Rather than dwelling on that, he decided to accept the other person's will and entrustment and move forward a little further.
A flick of the wrist.
Two balls of divine fire appeared in Gu Xiu's hands.
The first is the Undying Soul Flame of Nian Chaoxi, and the second is the Moon Essence Spirit Flame given to him by the Moon Gazing Supreme. The Moon Gazing Supreme is indeed powerful. His power lies not only in his cultivation but also in his vision. He previously said that Gu Xiu did not want to use the Undying Soul Flame, a point that Gu Xiu did not respond to, but what he said was indeed correct.
Gu Xiu really didn't want to use this fire.
Even though it was given to him by Nian Chaoxi, and even though the woman in the sedan chair had specifically emphasized that the fire would no longer affect Nian Chaoxi's safety, he still refused to use it. There was no particular reason; perhaps it wasn't the right time, perhaps he didn't want to be entangled in karma again, or perhaps this inextinguishable soul fire was meant to belong to him.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Xiu put away the Undying Soul Flame again, and then turned his gaze to the ball of Moonlight Spirit Flame.
In the end, I stopped hesitating.
Start turning on the lights!
He wanted to light the last lamp of the Seven Emotions Lamp in his sea of consciousness!
