CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 297 ANCESTRAL MASTER’S PROTECTION_3

Chen Xuantian, "...Alright, senior, I understand you."

The Corpse Resolving Immortal sighed,

"Before, I lay here and could still fly to the Void to enjoy myself.

Now, as my immortal power grows stronger, it binds me here like a captive, and I can’t enter the Void anymore.

It’s really a fate worse than death, might as well end me..."

Chen Xuantian was stunned,

"Senior, you’ve been to the Void?"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal seemed to roll his eyes at him.

"Of course, I became an immortal, how could I not have been there?"

Chen Xuantian was puzzled,

"How is that possible? Wasn’t the Void lost long ago during the time you were an Immortal Venerable?"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal was baffled,

"So what, just because the old one is lost, we can’t create a new one?"

Chen Xuantian was greatly surprised.

"New one! There’s actually a new Void in the Taiji Realm!"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal was confused,

"What do you mean, the Void has always been there, hasn’t it?"

"Where?"

The crystal skull pointed at the ceiling.

Chen Xuantian stepped out quickly, staring at the Star Map mural on the wall.

"The Void... Is it on the Taiyin, on the moon?"

Tie Dan was shocked, turning to look at the Corpse Resolving Immortal,

"Senior, are you serious?"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal sighed,

"Why do you and your past life say the same lines, making me repeat myself? Okay, okay, it is indeed on the Taiyin Star.

Because when I attained the Dao, the connection to the old Void was already lost, not knowing what accident occurred, so we thought of creating a new Void, to bring them back.

But to prevent the outgoing Void from getting lost again, and because the Refining in the Taiji Realm is too thick, with chaotic and distracting mortal energies, one needed to fly as high as possible, beyond the heavens and into the void, to clearly receive the messages from the Primordial Spirit.

To avoid getting lost in the void, we decided to use the Nine Luminaries as a guide. The other Luminaries were too far, so we finally placed the ’Void’ on the Taiyin Star, creating the ’Taiyin Taixu Heaven’.

It’s like a dock, always keeping people in the Taiyin Taixu Heaven to maintain the inheritance, receive signals, and successively send new Voids into the void, towards the Thirty-three Heavens, to search in every direction."

Those of us left on the ground improved the Primordial Spirit Method, developed the Taiyin Refining Form, stabilized our Dao Bodies, became undying and eternal, and connected our Primordial Spirits specifically to the Taiyin Star, sustaining the connection between the Taiji Realm and the Taiyin Taixu Heaven."

This way, using Taiyin Star as the intermediary, those remaining in the Taiji Realm would know what happened to their predecessors, which paths were open, and where roads still led."

Silence fell momentarily in the underground palace.

Tie Dan asked, "What happened later."

The Corpse Resolving Immortal spread his hands,

"What happened? Isn’t later just now, and now you already know.

Refining Void and Unity, every path is blocked now."

Tie Dan stared at the Star Map mural, silent for a long time.

"Alright, you’ve learned everything you need to, now come and kill me."

The Corpse Resolving Immortal lifted the coffin lid, handing it to Tie Dan, pointing to the Blood Scripture inscribed on it,

"This Sword Scripture was left by your previous life," the Breaking Taiyin Refining Form Sword Manual, "it is said that only with your current life’s sword can I be completely destroyed.

Come, kill me."

Tie Dan took the sword manual, looked at the bloody words of Chen Xuantian, noticing he had already fully deciphered the Taiyin Refining Technique and deduced the Secret Sword to break this path, then nodded, retrieving the Black Sword from his abdomen.

"Alright, please receive the sword, senior."

The Corpse Resolving Immortal suddenly raised his hand,

"Wait!"

So Tie Dan halted temporarily,

"What unfinished wishes does senior have?"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal slapped his forehead,

"Almost forgot the most critical thing, this is your reward."

The Corpse Resolving Immortal lifted his coffin, and from beneath the underground palace’s floor, he rummaged for a while, revealing a gigantic, ball-like iron object.

The style of this thing was odd, neither metal nor stone, with three slots on top, connected to the coffin.

Tie Dan was stunned, unable to discern what it was...

The Corpse Resolving Immortal tapped that iron lump,

"The Nine Cauldrons."

Tie Dan,

"Oh... That’s the Nine Cauldrons!??"

The Corpse Resolving Immortal nodded,

"Yes, it’s that Nine Cauldrons, the Genzhou Cauldron that suppresses the fate of the Nine Provinces. It’s actually a kind of Gravity Furnace, a Gravity Generator, generating electricity through the changes in Earth-Moon gravity and potential energy conversion.

I could sit in seclusion for ten thousand years, refining the energy of Death Qi endlessly, because it was continuously transmitted from this thing."

Tie Dan gaped, staring at the furnace... the cauldron.

The Corpse Resolving Immortal spread his hands,

"Don’t ask me, I don’t understand it either, thought it was some funerary object. It was all his speculation and deduction.

We spent many years simulating and discussing the Dao, and only then discovered it was this broken thing constantly working...

Take it, it’s of no use to me now anyway."

Tie Dan hesitated to speak, hesitant, in a daze,

"Wait, since the continuous transformation of Death Qi’s energy source is actually this Nine Cauldrons, then if we take this object, isn’t there no need... "

The Corpse Resolving Immortal shook his head,

"My path is cut off, but how many roads does the Great Dao have? How can I be confined here, sitting and watching the heavens.

I want to start over, reincarnate and cultivate again, please, Fellow Daoist, assist with a strike of your sword."

Tie Dan understood too and bowed,

"Alright, please, Fellow Daoist, meet your death."
