Li Chen's new 'Unmovable as a Mountain' path proves surprisingly effective in stabilizing his existence and preventing injury. After a fierce battle, Tianque, a Founding Realm powerhouse, formally apologizes to Li Chen for past incidents and thanks him for saving the Jianmu Universe. Poem Shadow Dao Saint then proposes that Tianque join Li Chen in participating in a war in Li Chen's homeland, to which Tianque agrees, with the condition that his disciple's life is not put at undue risk.

The crisis in the Jianmu Universe has finally been resolved, and almost all the powerhouses of the Jianmu Universe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no matter what, the Jianmu Universe is their homeland.

Who would like to see their homeland destroyed?

Moreover, how many living beings are there in a Great Universe? It is a number difficult to calculate. If the Jianmu Universe were truly destroyed, with so many deaths, wouldn’t they feel any guilt?

Even the powerhouses of the Demon Cultivation Way would never be so ruthless.

Facing the helplessness against the Black Tide of Nihility would leave a scar in their Dao Heart, potentially preventing future progression to higher realms.

After all, the Dao Heart is something difficult for anyone to define.

Fortunately, the appearance of Li Chen resolved this crisis, allowing many powerhouses to stop fearing for the Jianmu Universe while also not worrying about leaving scars in their Dao Heart.

Everyone holds some gratitude towards Li Chen.

Even Tian Que is no exception.

Of course, besides Li Chen, there are also two members of the Earth Realm that deserve their gratitude.

Yin Shuishui and Chen Shouchuan.

Especially Yin Shuishui; during exchanges, many powerhouses noticed how Li Chen seemed to protect this kind and pure girl, almost like she were his own daughter.

What they didn’t know was that in those years when Li Chen was battling the Black Qi helplessly, this girl silently accompanied him, speaking of small, innocent dreams, reminding Li Chen amidst his madness that he was a person, not a monster.

It was Yin Shuishui who helped Li Chen endure the most difficult years, leading to the Li Chen of today.

It could even be said that without Yin Shuishui, years ago, Li Chen would likely have been completely eroded by the Black Qi, transformed into a monster of pure destruction and consumption.

Though they don’t know the story between Li Chen and Yin Shuishui, they learned from Poem Shadow Dao Saint that it was because of these two that Li Chen stayed, otherwise he might already be lost in the Vast Nihility.

Almost every powerhouse is filled with immense gratitude towards these two juniors in their eyes.

Especially Poem Shadow Dao Saint, who knows the inside story, is incredibly thankful.

Thankful that the Jianmu Universe has such a kind girl.

…

“Jian Ancestor has agreed to open the Cosmic Passage for us shortly,” Poem Shadow Dao Saint returned after a brief departure and informed Li Chen.

Originally, they planned to have a banquet celebration, but Li Chen clearly did not have the Kung Fu to waste time on such matters, politely declining, which led Poem Shadow Dao Saint to first contact the will of the Jianmu Universe.

“Does this Cosmic Passage lead directly to the Cosmic Ruins?” Li Chen asked, “How long will it take to arrive?”

Poem Shadow pondered for a moment before speaking: “Jian Ancestor holds part of the Seventh Dimension’s power and has once peeked with others into the Eighth Dimension, so opening the Cosmic Passage involves no concept of time. Whenever we enter from the Jianmu Universe and exit, is whenever we arrive.”

“Time dimension?” Li Chen squinted his eyes slightly, then nodded without saying much more.

At this point, Li Chen almost felt certain that the dimensional theory of the Mechanical Civilization might truly be correct.

Within the Vast Nihility, a higher dimensional power exists.

And for lower dimensions, higher dimensional power is almost insolvable.

Dimensions are a boundary of strength beyond the realm cultivators pursue.

“Let’s proceed quickly,” Li Chen nodded and said.

He vaguely remembered the Seven Realms Tome saying that when he was invaded by Black Qi, he wandered in the Cosmic Ruins for over ten thousand years before finally emerging.

Though part of this time was due to his chaotic wandering in the Cosmic Ruins, its vastness is undeniable, otherwise, given his state when invaded by Black Qi, likely nearing the Origin Realm in power, he was trapped there for ten thousand years before escaping.

“Also, the Cosmic Ruins seem quite dangerous,” Li Chen murmured.

“Indeed dangerous.” Just as Li Chen murmured, a voice abruptly sounded behind him.

“Hmm?” Li Chen frowned and looked at the person behind him: “How did you come out?”

“Wanted to come out, so I did,” Young Hong shook his head and laughed, “But after coming out, there’s no going back.”

Li Chen looked down to see Young Hong’s body gradually fading away.

“Existing like this for countless years, I… am tired.” Young Hong shook his head, at this moment, emitting a profoundly ancient and desolate aura.

“Aren’t you…” Li Chen was bewildered.

“I am Hong,” Hong softly said, “My last bit of consciousness awakened just now. Of course, if I continued sleeping, I might have continued struggling for one or two more Eras, but I feel there’s no need.”

He is Hong.

Ancient Elder Hong from the incredibly ancient Sea of Realms era, a powerhouse of the same age as the world Cosmic Ancestor Yuan.

But now, he is about to completely fall.

Powerhouses from that era seemed to have some method to extend consciousness, like Yuan and him, Hong.

As for Xuan Zang, being already deceased, all the more so.

Yet, no matter how much it is extended, demise is demise, which can delay for a while but cannot achieve true eternal life.

“You… are?!” At this time, Tian Que seemed to also notice Hong’s presence and hurriedly came over, bowing deeply with his disciple.

“Disciple greets Teacher, thanks Teacher for the grace of past teachings!”

Hearing Tian Que’s words, many people were bewildered.

What is happening?

This youthful-looking person is actually Tian Que’s teacher and once taught him the Dao?

At this moment, Poem Shadow also approached and gave a slight bow to Hong.

“Greetings, Lord Hong.”

Listening to Poem Shadow Dao Saint, others were even more surprised.

Who is Poem Shadow Dao Saint?

Though her cultivation does not surpass Tian Que, Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s status in the Jianmu Universe is undoubtedly high.

As the spokesperson for the Jianmu Universe’s will, almost no one dare show her disrespect. Even Tian Que, as an Origin Realm powerhouse, does not hold a status more noble than Poem Shadow Dao Saint.

And even Poem Shadow Dao Saint calls this youth Lord? Who is he?

Just then, an immense will suddenly descended.

All powerhouses felt as though a massive boulder had suddenly pressed upon their hearts at the moment this will descended.

“That’s the will of Jian… Jian Ancestor, descended?!”
