Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 727: Six Paths of Reincarnation

“What!” The White Emperor's spirit trembled suddenly, his disbelief evident as he stared at Yun Xiao. Clenching his teeth, he asked, “Are you sure your body double fell in?”

“I'm certain,” Yun Xiao replied.

It took a moment for the White Emperor's face to contort before he said, “So someone really did reach that legendary place this way…”

Looking up at Yun Xiao again, he sneered, “Don’t even think about it, your body double is definitely gone.”

“Why?” Yun Xiao asked.

“I have nothing to say,” the White Emperor replied with a defiant look, fearless even in the face of death.

“The Immortal Asylum went through as well,” Yun Xiao suddenly said.

“You!” The White Emperor stomped his foot in frustration, cursing, “A wasteful destruction of a heavenly treasure!”

“So, you'll want to live on, to share this news with your ancestors,” Yun Xiao stated.

“Tell me, what place is that, and how do I get back? Otherwise, you’re of no use to me anymore, and I might just start the torture now, without waiting for Lu Fan,” Yun Xiao said.

“First, your body double can’t return. Second, if you want to know what that place is, why don’t you look through your body double’s eyes?” the White Emperor replied.

“Fine…”

Today, Yun Xiao had indeed learned quite a bit from the White Emperor.

“If you're gonna torture him, why not just do it now? Why wait?” Divine Dawn couldn’t stand it anymore.

“This method I have in mind works better with two. He’s just short of a partner. No hurry,” Yun Xiao explained.

Hearing this, the White Emperor frowned but remained silent. He knew Yun Xiao wouldn’t let him off easy. At this moment, unlike the Crown Prince, he actually hoped Lu Fan would win.

Just then, the Devil Eye spoke up, “We’ve located the Western Kunlun Palace.”

“Thunder Emissary Cao,” Yun Xiao called to the enchantress steering the ship.

Now she alone was like nine, worthy of an upgrade to the entire Celestial Court's enchantress, instead of just the Thunder Department's.

“Mhm,” Cao Shuo turned back, her smile sweet.

“Full speed ahead!”

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

"Mmm."

"Ah."

"Oh..."

A torrent of colorful, chaotic celestial energy surged increasingly fierce, the collisions growing ever more violent.

This long river-like tunnel, vast and undulating with bizarre luminescence, was filled with countless flashes of light and melodious harmonies, a surreal dreamscape.

Yun Xiao's body double, Moon Fairy, tumbled far down this colorful river, feeling as though even time and space were distorted. The radiant colors on the tunnel's walls resembled countless brilliant stars, each star dazzling beyond measure.

Such splendid starlight surely couldn't belong to the ordinary mortal stars but pointed to Celestial Sourcecores!

Moon Fairy, peering through two delicate white arms, gazed at this scintillating world, momentarily dazed.

"The Samsara Galaxy? Reincarnation for all? A path to the legendary lands?"

In this blaze of dazzling light, the world suddenly expanded into grandeur.

"Immortal Yun, there's a ring of light!"

The cold, commanding voice of the Great Mother, Bai Susu, came with a hint of excitement.

"I see it!"

Moon Fairy also saw it. Ahead, in the middle of the river, a dim yellow ring of light appeared, and under the fierce battering of the currents, they were hurtling straight towards it.

"Hold tight!"

Moon Fairy roared, and three demons with six hands clutched at anything they could, wrapping tightly into a ball and slamming through the ring with a thunderous crash.

BUZZ! A powerful shockwave hit, nearly knocking Yun Xiao's spirit unconscious. The three demons felt the world spin wildly, as if something had flung them forward, accelerating their roll!

Finally, after some time, their speed began to slow, and the surrounding brilliant lights dimmed.

THUD! In a daze, the Great Mother's back hit a dim yellow light wall, bringing them to a stop.

She let out a soft cry, her flesh trembling from the impact, even her formidable undead body felt the blow.

Amidst the dim yellow haze, one could see a cold, commanding woman with long black hair like a waterfall, curled up, clutching something tightly...

"Let go," a voice emerged from her embrace.

"Yes, Immortal Yun." The Great Mother's face flushed slightly as she slowly released her hold, revealing a silver-haired fox-eared youth nestled within her ample, round embrace.

The silver-haired fox-eared youth stood up from the embrace of the beautiful corpse demon, gently loosening his grip, revealing a small girl cradled within.

It was indeed Moon Fairy and Pale Revenant.

Finally, the trio came to a stop, but Moon Fairy still felt a bit dazed. Along the way, he had held someone, and then was held himself, sandwiched in the middle... quite well-protected, indeed!

"Where are we..." Pale Revenant, slightly nervous, tugged at the corner of Moon Fairy's robe as they arrived in this strange and unknown place.

The Great Mother also instinctively drew closer, standing behind them, her eyes alertly scanning the surroundings.

Moon Fairy's silver eyes swept around!

WHOOSH! Above and below his eyes, a pair of blood-red and dull-yellow eyes appeared, six eyes in total, each turning in different directions to look outward!

"This yellow mist is a type of celestial energy, quite abundant here, so it obscures the vision a bit, but..." Moon Fairy did not look at the dense fog around him but instead lowered his head to examine the ground under his feet.

Upon closer inspection, the ground was composed of countless runes. It was impossible to see just how thick or expansive this rune-covered ground was!

"It feels like we've reached a boundless primordial land, and we are but three specks of dust in the sandstorm," Moon Fairy murmured.

Seeing nothing from their position, Moon Fairy decided to move.

In this unfamiliar realm, with the foundation laid by the White Emperor, Yun Xiao was still very cautious. He moved slowly, using Moon Fairy, while the Great Mother and Pale Revenant vigilantly watched the flanks, the three demons making very little noise.

"Over there... does it look like a Celestial Sourcecore? It seems even larger than the Great Dao Celestial Realm," Moon Fairy said after walking a distance, pointing to a spot beneath their feet.

Their gaze penetrated the ground's formation, looking below the array. They could vaguely see a huge red energy body, its bright, piercing red light passing through the numerous runes of the celestial formation under their feet.

"Indeed, it is a Celestial Sourcecore." The Great Mother nodded.

"There's a Celestial Sourcecore, which means there might be cultivators around, but this one is beneath the formation. We're on top of it; we need to find the edge of the formation to get down," Moon Fairy explained.

"I actually think this Celestial Sourcecore might be powering the formation itself, rather than housing anyone. We were drawn here by the formation," the Great Mother pondered aloud.

"Huh, that makes sense," Moon Fairy looked up at her and remarked, "You know quite a bit, don’t you?"

The Great Mother solemnly nodded, "Naraka was also a Celestial Sourcecore, only its structure was shattered."

Moon Fairy hummed in agreement and continued forward. He was shocked to find that at intervals beneath the formation, another Celestial Sourcecore appeared, each different in color, energy, and increasingly large scale!

"How many Celestial Sourcecores are supporting this endless celestial formation? What place is this, truly?"

Logically, if this formation served as a transit area, it should merely be a station similar to a city gate, not the destination itself.

With this theory in mind, Moon Fairy relaxed his vigilance slightly and sped up. His eyes fixed ahead, he broke through the illusions, his intuition telling him something significant lay at the end of this boundless celestial formation.

He walked and walked! After what seemed an eternity, at the end of the dim yellow mist, they saw in the void gigantic blood-red words as vast as Celestial Sourcecores themselves!

They hung in the sky like stars, illuminating the heavens and earth, casting the entire area in a blood-red hue.

"What does it say? I can’t read it," Pale Revenant's voice trembled a bit.

Moon Fairy bit his lip, took a deep breath, and read aloud, "Six Paths of Reincarnation."
