Chapter 615: 226. Yuzhuang Graffiti, Visitors from Beyond the Sky (5.7K words - Seeking Subscription)_3

A large crooked corpse squatted in the middle, resembling a ship docked here, or like a big house built in the air. The house had a plaque hanging on it. The plaque had a bunch of squiggly, word-like things, and inside the house were little figures.

Surrounding the little figures were five items: a tree, lotus-shaped fire, metal, earth, and a water-shaped little figure.

There was more than one little figure, one of whom stood at the door of the big corpse-like house, calmly watching the distance.

In the distance, there was a vast land featuring "tree, lotus-shaped fire, metal, earth, water-like little figure," among which the tree had a cute little head that Song Yan could vaguely discern to be Yuzhuang.

The little figures seemed to be patiently waiting and observing.

Su Yao said, "I don’t understand what this means. Yuzhuang seems to be saying that within our world lies a formidable force with grand aspirations."

But Song Yan already understood.

Po Xu Yuzhuang said it’s not this world, but beyond the heavens.

How much does that "crooked big corpse" resemble the corpse of a dark dragon?

If so, doesn’t the corpse of the dark dragon serve as a sect for a mysterious force?

Disciples within aim to refine heaven and earth.

To say ’refine’ isn’t accurate because those disciples seem most concerned with extracting the "Five Elements of the Underworld" from this world and ensuring these "Five Elements" absorb enough energy, subsequently carrying them by their side.

Song Yan was momentarily horrified.

What kind of force can endure such a prolonged wait for the withering of a world and can have a disciple use the entire world as a resource for cultivation?

The drawing sketched by Po Xu Yuzhuang on the house plaque must be something it witnessed, thus specially depicted—the name of that sect.

Except, he did not recognize those characters.

Po Xu Yuzhuang is not human; its growth is exceedingly slow. Now, with the intelligence likened to a two- or three-year-old child, it has sensed something amiss, hence... Po Xu Yuzhuang is telling his father.

Run!!

...

...

Su Yao entered the Formless Secret Realm.

Song Yan, however, discarded the thought of venturing into the void.

He realized his paths were reduced to two:

The first path: transform into a Celestial Demon, attempt to drift with the Sea of Suffering to a distant, uncertain next world that he didn’t know could be reached;

The second, focus on the Master of Heaven and Earth, watch how he tries to leap out, then "you leap, I leap."

The current Formless Secret Realm is filled with beast hides, which are sufficient for Song Yan to craft for a long time—preparations for the first path—ensuring "if forced to take the first path," he wouldn’t die due to inadequate lifespan.

But he aimed to try the second path.

Po Xu Yuzhuang’s graffiti revealed a truth: the act of "wearing the skin of the Five Elements from the Underworld to attempt escape to the dark dragon’s corpse," as the Celestial Venerable suggested, was not feasible.

Were the dark dragon corpse merely a dead thing, there’d be a glimmer of hope, but now it serves as the sect, the ship of a terrifying force, housing unknown entities. Therefore, wearing the Five Elements’ skin and approaching it is a downright foolish act.

This also led Song Yan to understand why the Master of Heaven and Earth had forged "Underworld Gold" into a sword and used the divine souls of Sword Cultivators here to refine swords.

The Master of Heaven and Earth must be waiting for something.

He’s truly "packing his bags."

...

...

The next year, winter.

Song Yan transformed into a Sword Cultivator and arrived at the Sword Alliance.

His remaining task was one—to uncover the true avatar of the Master of Heaven and Earth.

He was skeptical of the "old man," visibly claiming to be a disciple of the Master of Heaven and Earth, partly because, although powerful, this old man wasn’t considered to have an optimal body.

Song Yan sought the strongest, most potential, and most favored person in the Sword Alliance.

Nurturing an avatar is like raising pigs; one must provide nourishment.
