Chapter 386 Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet
“Your Majesty, my Yuan family has an ancestral rule that descendants are not allowed to enter this cave.” Yuan Daotong pointed to the dark cave and said to Lin Fei, “I will not accompany Your Majesty inside. Please make yourselves at home!”
Lin Fei knew that Yuan Daotong had already endured immense pressure to open the stone door and let him in. After all, this was a stone door personally ordered to be sealed by the Yuan family's patriarch, one of the ancient sages, and even the heads of the Yuan family throughout the ages had never entered this cave.
Lin Fei cupped his hands to Yuan Daotong and said, "Thank you, Brother Yuan. I will do my utmost to break this curse that has plagued the Yuan family for generations."
……
After bidding farewell to Yuan Daotong, Lin Fei walked alone into the cave.
Although the cave was pitch black, it was no different from daytime to Lin Fei.
After walking for about 15 minutes, faint lights appeared ahead, and the narrow mountain cave passage gradually opened up.
Before Lin Fei appeared a stone tablet with two large characters engraved on it: "Slay the Demon!"
The stone tablet in front of him was exactly the same as the several reincarnation stone tablets that Lin Fei had obtained before. It was the stone tablet belonging to the "Heavenly Dao" in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
This Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet fell into the hands of the Yuan family of Jiangling. Even Yuan Tiangang, one of the ancient sages, obtained the power of reincarnation within it through miraculous means. However, because he lacked the Six Paths Incarnation Technique created by the True Martial Emperor, he could not dispel the demonic energy contained within the power of reincarnation. Ultimately, this led to the entire family suffering the consequences, with their descendants all affected by the demonic energy.
According to the records of the Yuan family, this Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet was sealed in this cave along with the remains of the Yuan family's ancestor, the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang.
However, Lin Fei only saw the Heavenly Dao Stele at this moment; the remains of Yuan Tiangang, the patriarch of the Yuan family, were not inside the cave.
"It seems that the Yuan family patriarch himself has also been affected by the demonic energy, and the degree to which he has been corrupted by the demonic energy is probably not light." The voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit said in Lin Fei's mind, "I'm afraid that his descendants would not be able to deal with him corrupted by the demonic energy, so he sealed himself in this Heavenly Dao Stele. This person not only has good methods, but also seems to be a decisive person."
The Xuan Snake Spirit, a mythical beast under the command of the True Martial Emperor, has witnessed countless great figures throughout history. Even it praised Yuan Tiangang highly, demonstrating the prowess of this ancient sage.
This is understandable, as the Middle Ages were the darkest period in human history, when ordinary people were even kept as livestock by demons and were known as "two-legged sheep".
The ancient sages were able to breach the demon palace and rescue the common people from suffering. Those who could be called sages in the Middle Ages all possessed extraordinary abilities.
"Senior, do you have a way to open the entrance to the world of the stone tablet?" Lin Fei asked the spirit of the Xuan Snake. Now that Yuan Tiangang has obtained the power of reincarnation within this Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, it will probably not be so easy for the Xuan Snake to open the entrance as easily as before.
"It's probably not that simple." Just as Lin Fei had guessed, the voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit spoke in Lin Fei's mind: "A new restriction has been placed on this stone tablet, which is probably the work of the Yuan family patriarch. It will probably take more time to open the entrance to the world of the stone tablet."
……
Lin Fei waited inside the cave for the spirit of the Xuan Snake to open the entrance to the world of the stone tablet.
After waiting for almost half a day, the slightly weak voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit finally rang in Lin Fei's mind: "I didn't expect that this Yuan family patriarch is truly a capable person. If I hadn't lived for so many years, even if it were you, you wouldn't be able to break the restrictions he set up for a year or two!"
The methods of the ancient sages are naturally beyond question. Although Lin Fei's cultivation is now quite good, he is still far inferior to the ancient sages.
"The entrance to the world of the stone tablet has opened, so hurry up and go in!" The spirit of the Xuan Snake transmitted its voice to Lin Fei. "I haven't fully mastered my physical body yet, and breaking the restrictions on this stone tablet took a lot of effort. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore. Be careful once you're inside!"
After speaking, the spirit of the Xuan Snake fell silent. However, faint light gradually emanated from the stone tablet in front of it, converging into a gate of light in front of Lin Fei.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Fei stepped into the portal of light.
……
Lin Fei had previously entered four of the six realms of reincarnation. However, the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation world before him was different from the other reincarnation worlds he had entered before.
In this world of celestial reincarnation, everything was shrouded in a hazy gray, completely devoid of any other things. It was as if in the beginning of time, before anything in the world had been conceived.
It's unclear whether this change is due to the fact that the power of reincarnation here has been obtained by others.
Within this hazy, misty expanse, countless things seemed to be gestating: mountains and rivers, stars and seas, birds and beasts.
It seems to have endless possibilities, yet it also seems as if nothing exists at all.
This was the first time Lin Fei had ever experienced such a strange and indescribable feeling.
"As expected of the Heavenly Dao, the head of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Lin Fei couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Such a sight is truly wondrous!"
These six realms of reincarnation are the three good realms, with the heavenly realm as the first, including the heavenly realm, the human realm, and the Asura realm. Below them are the three evil realms, where one suffers endless torment: the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the animal realm.
The first of the Six Paths is the Heavenly Path. Even the spirit of the Black Serpent once believed that the Heavenly Path, the first of the Six Paths, was carried by the True Martial Emperor into his tomb, but he never expected that it would be obtained by the Yuan family.
According to the Xuan Snake Spirit's speculation, the power of reincarnation within the Heavenly Dao has already been obtained by Yuan Tiangang, the ancestor of the Yuan family.
If Lin Fei wants to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation, he must first find the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang.
But when he looked up, all he could see was a hazy, misty landscape, and there was no sign of the ancient sages.
For a moment, Lin Fei didn't know where to start looking.
Just as Lin Fei was wondering where to begin, a voice suddenly rang out from the surrounding grayness: "Didn't I have a long-standing ancestral rule that the descendants of the Yuan family must not open the cave? Which generation of the Yuan family are you, and how did you end up in this place?"
The sound seemed to come from near and far, loud and soft, sometimes right next to my ear, sometimes from the horizon.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of mist suddenly condensed in front of Lin Fei, gradually forming a human-shaped shape.
