Book 6: Chapter 3: The Original Sky
The stream gradually flowed into the valley, and at the end disappeared into a cave deep in the valley.
Wise Immortal directed Li Jinyao to paddle there. When the boat entered the cave, and the surrounding area gradually dimmed. It was pitch black to the point a person couldn’t see his own fingers.
After moving forward for a while, Bai Qiuran suddenly heard Li Jinyao, who was sitting opposite, asked nervously:
“Senior Sword Patriarch, can you still hear my voice?”
Only then did he discover that the darkness around him seemed to have a peculiar effect. In the darkness, even his Soul Awareness was affected a lot, and it was more difficult to explore than usual.
He could still feel Li Jinyao sitting opposite him, but she could no longer feel his breath at this moment.
“Yes, I can.”
Bai Qiuran responded.
“That’s great, I thought I was separated from you.”
Li Jinyao’s voice became serious.
“I just wanted to use an illuminating spell, but I found that neither the light spell nor the fire spell can be used in this darkness. It’s really weird.”
Bai Qiuran tried it too and found that it was so. But when he tried to activate the Fire Mark, the immortal fire bursting out of it successfully ignited in the darkness, but it could only illuminate a small area of less than one meter in diameter.
Seeing the faint light shining in the darkness and the white-haired man sitting across from hẻ, Li Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to row the boat.
He couldn’t see the surrounding scene clearly in the darkness and could only hear the sound of Li Jinyao’s oars stirring up splashes of water, but Bai Qiuran felt that the cave seemed to be getting wider and wider. The two people who were going along the stream unknowingly came to another piece of space.
Suddenly a breeze blew all around, Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao refreshed.
“It looks like the exit is near.”
While talking, Li Jinyao accelerated the speed of the oar.
The speed of the boat increased, and the darkness around it dissipated. The two of them noticed that a faint light was suddenly coming from around, and they couldn’t help but look in the direction of the light.
The next moment, the two held their breath.
What appeared in front of the two of them was an incomparably magnificent cosmic starry sky, with countless stars shining on the starry sky, illuminating their light, and it also came from these stars in the sky.
And the small boat they were riding on floated on a galaxy across the starry sky, looking in the direction of the time when they came, there was also a starry sky, and the valleys and creeks they passed through when they came over are nowhere to be found.
A star appeared diagonally below the two of them, and the boiling heat from above and the huge surface area of the star made the two of them secretly surprised.
This was the real thing.
Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao thought in their hearts at the same time.
“How is it? Isn’t this Land of Divine Death?”
Wise Immortal asked with a cold snort.
“We obviously came in from a stream, why did we come into a sky?”
Li Jinyao asked helplessly:
“I didn’t feel any sense of spatial change, either?”
“Because this sky, including the power of darkness before, belong to the power of the gods of the past.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“The gods are the incarnation of all things and rules in nature. Even the techniques used by the gods to manipulate space before death are much better than the space spells of our Sacred Dynasty era, so you can’t sense spatial fluctuations. This is a natural process.”
“It’s amazing.”
Li Jinyao looked at the surrounding stars.
“Senior Wise Immortal, where is this starry sky?”
“Here is the original sky.”
While Wise Immortal was talking, Li Jinyao held the handle and swung the oars. The boat floated on the Milky Way and walked through the stars.
“Most of the former gods were born here and live here. They are the incarnations of law, nature, and stars, and they rule the world on behalf of Heaven. But after our human race and the demon race combined their forces and defeated them, this sky fell from its original height, hit the ground, and was buried here by countless years of vicissitudes of life… Now, this is the cemetery of the gods, a veritable place of death.”
Stars passed by, Wise Immortal turned his gaze to these stars and said:
“Once, these stars were all living creatures, and their consciousness and energy were condensed, and it was the star gods among the gods, but now they are all dead, they are just rock balls with plenty of energy.”
The Milky Way gradually widened, and the small boat the two people rode didn’t know what was magical about it. After Li Jinyao was moving Zhenyuan, after a slight stroke, it would drift into countless miles of distance. With this thing, the two of them were able to travel. The star space traveled quickly.
“It’s so beautiful here…”
Looking at the meteors passing by, Li Jinyao’s girl’s heart began to sprout. She quietly looked at the man opposite herself, only to find that he was holding Wise Immortal’s head with a serious face, facing every piece that passed by.
In that way, it looked like police who came out to investigate the case in the mortal world.
Alas, at this time, I really admire Sect Master Su very much.
Li Jinyao couldn’t help sighing in her heart.
“The Milky Way is coming to an end.”
Wise Immortal suddenly reminded.
The two looked towards the direction of the small boat, and sure enough, the galaxies floating in the universe converge here, and in the confluence area of this galaxy, there is also a platform carved with white jade. On the platform, a jade ladder was connected to the sky, stretched to the depths of the starry sky.
“There is the God Realm Heavenly Court where the heavenly gods once lived.”
After watching for a while, Wise Immortal said:
“Let’s lean over, from there we can go up.”
Li Jinyao gently leaned the small boat to the edge of the jade platform, then Bai Qiuran threw the hemp rope and tied the small boat to a white jade pile on the jade platform. Then, the two of them walked along the jade ladder to a higher place in the sky.
This jade ladder seems to be unattainable, but in fact, they climbed up and found themselves climbing at a rapid speed. It was clear that both of them were walking at a very normal pace, but each of their steps inexplicably crossed a distance of tens of miles.
“There are space rules on the roads here, which should have been left by the gods in the past for the convenience of rushing on the road.”
Wise Immortal said:
“By the way, after coming here, little girl, you should be more relaxed, right?”
Li Jinyao was taken aback for a moment, and then replied:
“Indeed, I can no longer felt erosion here.”
“There is no resentment here, this is just the tomb of the gods.”
Wise Immortal said softly.
As the two climbed, magnificent pavilions, carved beams, and painted buildings gradually appeared above the sky. Some of these palaces were seriously damaged, and half of them collapsed everywhere. There was even a piece of waste floating in the starry sky. Just by looking at these precious materials, Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao could imagine how beautiful this place once was.
Finally, the long jade ladder came to an end, and a huge white jade gate appeared in front of the two of them.
