Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 274 Qi Daolin Heads to the Forbidden Zone
Inside the Heavenly Immortal Academy, Jiang Xuan chose to seclude himself for cultivation. During the last Immortal Dao Blossom, he was hailed as a dark horse, surpassing many prodigies. He also secretly killed the Fallen God Child, Jun Dao, and others, ultimately seizing the title of first in his generation, which greatly enhanced the Heavenly Immortal Academy's reputation.
Following that Immortal Dao Blossom, the Heavenly Immortal Academy also benefited, attracting numerous talented disciples.
As for Jiang Xuan's cultivation place, it was actually a small world he had secretly created, unknown even to the Heavenly Immortal Academy's Dean.
Several months later, a few more figures appeared within the small world. Jiang Xuan was cultivating a weakened version of the Avatar Technique, creating six avatars of his true self. Except for the most special one, which could enter the Chaos Space, the other five could be regarded as his true selves. The death of any one of them could be remedied with a new avatar forged in an extremely short amount of time.
After mastering the Avatar Technique, Jiang Xuan's avatars left this small world. Subsequently, they tore through the void, heading to various realms to seek opportunities and make plans and arrangements.
...
"Heavenly Immortal Academy, it's been a long time since I've walked around here."
The Heavenly Immortal Academy had existed for countless years, boasting countless strong individuals. It was exceptionally magnificent and grand, covering an extremely vast area, far surpassing many giant cities.
Jiang Xuan used a secret technique to conceal himself, walking through this ancient academy. Unfortunately, things had changed, and the disciples within the academy now were no longer the geniuses and prodigies of his era.
"That side... I remember it being the Supreme Dao Field?" Jiang Xuan stroked his chin, looking towards a certain direction outside the Heavenly Immortal Academy. There lay the Dao Field where the Supreme inheritance had once resided.
It was a pair of grand gates, almost piercing into the clouds. These gates were too magnificent and majestic, but it was just a single set of gates, with the four characters "Supreme Dao Field" carved on them.
In the original timeline, this grand gate was guarded by only one person in this era. This person was named Qi Daolin, a disciple in name only of the Supreme Hall. His aptitude was excellent. After the destruction of the Supreme Hall, Qi Daolin was besieged by various sects. Relying on his qualification to battle a Sect Master with a Celestial God cultivation, he narrowly escaped death. He secretly infiltrated various sects to learn from a hundred different schools, eventually becoming a Sect Master.
He had talent, and he also had loyalty. Even if only a single gate remained, he still wholeheartedly guarded this supreme inheritance. But no matter how high his aptitude, he could not obtain the Supreme Hall's inheritance.
Of course, years of stealing skills everywhere also made him shameless enough to trick the young Huang Heavenly Emperor into this dilapidated Dao Field, bringing the most glorious era to this Supreme lineage.
As for now, Qi Daolin was already at the Sect Master level. In the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, he could be considered a top-tier combatant. Above his realm, the Human Dao only had the three realms of Zhanwo, Dunyi, and Supreme. Being able to achieve this level of strength given his cobbled-together methods, it was sufficient to prove his talent.
However, there were changes in this life. The Fallen God Child was killed by Jiang Xuan in the Immortal Ancient, so he didn't have the opportunity to gather the prodigies of the Three Thousand Provinces to besiege and suppress Qi Daolin's two disciples.
Looking into the distance, Jiang Xuan also saw the situation within the Supreme Dao Field. However, he did not find Qin Heng and Yu Changkong. Instead, he saw that extremely shameless Qi Daolin.
At this moment, he was wearing a golden Daoist robe, his white hair like snow, his eyes deep, with the air of an immortal. At first glance, he looked like a reclusive expert, possessing an extraordinary and refined temperament.
But who would have thought that this seemingly kind and gentle old man, who made people feel as though they were bathing in a spring breeze, was actually a shameless person skilled in all kinds of deceit and trickery?
"Could it be that Qin Heng and Yu Changkong were still beaten and driven away? That shouldn't be the case. After the end of the Immortal Ancient, I didn't hear about them being suppressed..." After the end of the Immortal Ancient, Jiang Xuan did not immediately share his power, so he stayed in the Three Thousand Provinces for a period of time.
But during that time, he did not hear anything about the two people from the Supreme Dao Field being suppressed and driven away. The Heavenly Immortal Academy and the Supreme Dao Field were adjacent to each other, so if something really happened, he should have known about it immediately.
"There's no news of them outside either. Could it be... Qi Daolin sealed them as well? Preparing them to compete in this last life?" Jiang Xuan probed for information with his divine sense, but found nothing, which led him to this conjecture.
Of course, only Qi Daolin knew the specifics. After all, it was not logical that the two had been missing for more than two thousand years.
Approaching the Supreme Dao Field, Jiang Xuan gradually dispersed his concealment technique, appearing unobtrusively in front of the gates. Of course, he naturally restrained his aura, otherwise, he would have caused countless people to panic.
However, he did not expect that the moment he stood in front of the Supreme Dao Field's mountain gate, a golden figure would appear before him.
"Young man, I see that you have a strong destiny, a solid foundation, and extraordinary talent. You will surely become a great power in the future. If you can enter my Dao Field and obtain my lineage's supreme inheritance, you will surely be able to dominate the Nine Heavens and be invincible in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces..."
Qi Daolin recited his lines, but his voice became softer and softer, until finally, he pointed at Jiang Xuan and froze in place: "You... Why are you here? And your cultivation?!"
Jiang Xuan was quite helpless. Naturally, Qi Daolin could not see through his realm. However, in the last Immortal Ancient campaign, he ultimately ended with the record of being first in his generation. Naturally, many great powers in the Three Thousand Provinces recognized him. He had not deliberately changed his appearance, so it was not surprising that Qi Daolin could recognize him.
Waving his hand to isolate this space, Jiang Xuan no longer concealed his aura. The Supreme aura soared to the heavens, like the blazing Heavenly Dao, glorious and impossible to look at directly, dazzling and stunning for eternity.
Qi Daolin's mood at this moment was extremely exciting. He remembered very clearly that Jiang Xuan was a prodigy who participated in the last Immortal Ancient campaign, and he was from the Heavenly Immortal Academy, so he had a deep impression of him.
But how long had it been? The prodigy of the past had actually grown into an unparalleled being that he could not imagine. This speed of cultivation was too terrifying!
However, this only lasted for a moment. Jiang Xuan quickly restrained his aura and stood calmly in front of Qi Daolin.
"Your inheritance should be from the Supreme Hall, right?" Jiang Xuan spoke again. Qi Daolin was suddenly shocked. The Supreme Hall was now a taboo-like name in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Even with his Sect Master-level strength, he dared not use the name of the Supreme Hall.
It was precisely for this reason that very few beings knew this name, and even fewer dared to mention it. However, after thinking carefully, it was not surprising that Jiang Xuan knew about the Supreme Hall, given how powerful he was.
"Yes..." Qi Daolin sighed, "But I am just an abandoned disciple."
His master was ambushed before he could truly lead him into the Supreme Hall. He was surrounded and killed by the Supreme of the Immortal Palace. In the end, he became an abandoned disciple. Even his cultivation methods were pieced together by himself.
Jiang Xuan nodded. He naturally knew Qi Daolin's situation. He had to say that Qi Daolin's talent was indeed amazing. He learned the methods of a hundred schools and created his own path. If he could have obtained the inheritance of the Supreme Hall, even if he was not a Supreme now, he would definitely not be far from it.
It was a pity that the current Supreme Hall only had this gate left, and could only be called the Supreme Dao Field. It was suppressed quite severely.
However, things were much better now. The old Supreme of the Immortal Palace had been killed, and he was not in the mood to suppress the Supreme Dao Field, so Qi Daolin had been in a good mood recently.
"If you want to understand the true secrets of the world, and the whereabouts of the Supreme Hall, you might as well go to the Star Ocean of Boundless Heaven in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and find the Supreme Meng Tianzheng. Just say that I sent you, and he will tell you some things."
Jiang Xuan looked at Qi Daolin and couldn't help but say that he was preparing to have Qi Daolin join the Heavenly God Academy. Firstly, so that his talent could be truly displayed, and secondly, so that he could teach and guide those prodigies who were still weak.
"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Boundless Heaven?" Qi Daolin understood something in his heart. He understood where Jiang Xuan had gone all these years. However, it was too difficult for him to find a Supreme right away.
"I have two disciples who are still sleeping, I'm afraid..."
Qi Daolin was saying this when Jiang Xuan waved his hand to interrupt: "Qin Heng and Yu Changkong, right? Are you preparing to have them participate in the last Immortal Ancient campaign?"
"...Yes." Qi Daolin was speechless. Jiang Xuan's strength was too terrifying, so much so that he had overlooked the other party's identity. More than two thousand years ago, he was also a disciple of the Heavenly Immortal Academy, so how could he not know about his two disciples?
"It doesn't matter, I won't leave the Three Thousand Provinces in a short time," Jiang Xuan said. He had an avatar hidden in the Three Thousand Provinces, ready to strike at any time, hunting down the remaining three Remnant Immortals.
In addition, he was also looking forward to the last Immortal Dao Blossom, preparing to snatch a group of monster geniuses. At that time, his avatar would naturally pay attention.
"...Yes!" Qi Daolin finally had no choice but to agree. After all, Jiang Xuan was no longer the junior of the past. He was now a Supreme high above, and he even suspected that the recent chaos in the Three Thousand Provinces was related to him, or to the forces he belonged to.
However, he dared not say these things. In the face of a Supreme, even an extremely young Supreme, he ultimately chose to be sensible.
"Okay." Jiang Xuan nodded, and then told Qi Daolin how to get to the Nine Heavens. This was a path that he had opened up himself, and with Qi Daolin's cultivation, he would not encounter any danger.
After this, Jiang Xuan left directly. An avatar was already sitting in the Three Thousand Provinces, and the other avatars had already made plans. His goal was to go to a place to seek some supreme techniques.
...
In the Three Thousand Provinces, there was a mystical place that was once a forbidden zone of life, where unparalleled great powers had once resided. But now it had become dilapidated. The glory of the past had dissipated, and everything had become history.
This former forbidden zone of life was called the Cross Yin-Yang Ground, but Jiang Xuan knew that there was an ancient road here, leading to a real forbidden zone of life, and there, there was an even stronger existence!
Jiang Xuan stood in the dilapidated Cross Yin-Yang Ground, deducing the mysteries of Yin and Yang, wielding time in one hand and space in the other, as if tearing apart the entire world. In the void, the Taiyin River rolled, black mist surged, the solar river surged, the golden solar essence boiled, dazzling and sacred.
At the same time, a mysterious ancient road faintly appeared, connecting to an unknown region. The two great rivers of Taiyin and Sun churned, stirring up the Qi of Chaos, as if to destroy everything.
Jiang Xuan embarked on the road alone, walking on it. Around him, it was hazy and chaotic. There were also faint roars, as if ancient beasts were roaring. The power of time and space was added to his body. He was walking in a disordered void, and all kinds of divine power were isolated.
Walking along the ancient road, Jiang Xuan saw many rules and orders evolving, intertwining in the void, extremely dazzling. Until finally, he arrived on a floating piece of land.
It was very empty, like a large desert, lacking vitality, but in the seemingly endless desert, there was a very ancient medicine garden, and there were hills in the distance.
The sky was dark here, and the sun could not be seen, but it was not shrouded in darkness, like a quiet evening, slightly bloody. Only the medicine garden exuded a peaceful aura, with immortal divine medicines faintly appearing in it.
"Who is disturbing the peace of the forbidden zone?" A voice sounded.
"Senior, this junior can see the true scene, so there is no need to do this," Jiang Xuan said calmly. He knew that this was the boy manifested by the master of the forbidden zone. The master of the forbidden zone had killed his way into the depths of the Boundary Sea in the past, and ultimately returned seriously injured. Now, only an undying obsession remained, evolving the past.
However, he had his own purpose in coming here, so he was not prepared to waste time.
After Jiang Xuan's voice fell, the place fell into silence. After a long time, a sigh finally came, as if from a long time ago, with emotion, regret, and unwillingness.
At the same time, the void changed, and a figure appeared. The man was very young and very refined, and he could be described as possessing both grace and jade, and he looked less than thirty years old, at least in appearance.
The man was dressed in white, spotless, with a gentle smile, so handsome that he couldn't be any more handsome, with deep eyes. He gently waved his sleeves, brushed away the void, and reproduced a scene. It was a dam, lying in front of the Boundary Sea, existing since ancient times, with the sound of waves rising and falling faintly coming from behind the dam, and he, dressed in white, spotless, extraordinary and detached, stood on the dam at this moment, and finally stepped forward and stepped over.
But soon, Jiang Xuan heard a violent sound from behind the dam, like a terrifying wave churning, or like a great battle.
Day after day, year after year, fragments of time flew, watching that scene, he didn't know how long it had passed. Until one day, a **** hand clung to the dam, stained with blood, and severely damaged. Then, the hand was exerting force, struggling to climb upward, wanting to climb over the dam. Not long after, a head finally appeared. ノ亅丶說壹2З
The person's hair was disheveled, his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were dim, lacking luster. He was struggling hard, finally reaching the dam. His whole body was red, covered with wounds, and even his eyebrows were cracked. He had countless blood holes and other injuries on his body. The injuries were frightening.
His battle clothes were broken, scarlet and bloody. His body staggered, swaying, falling several times, and getting up several times, fleeing into the distance, finally leaving the dam.
That was the master of the forbidden zone. Originally, he was dressed in white, but now what he saw was that his battle clothes were tattered, and had long been stained red with blood. He had lost the peerless demeanor of the past.
"It's been too long, but after all, there is obsession, you laugh at me." He was very gentle, but he had an immortal obsession in his heart, unwilling to leave like this, turning into a forbidden zone here, and being silent in the years, waiting for a latecomer, to complete the road that he had not reached the other shore.
It was a pity that with the passage of time, he didn't know how long had passed, he had taught several peerless beings, but in the end, he failed to break the shackles, and still fell on that road, failing to surpass it.
"Senior can arrive at the depths of the Boundary Sea, explore the source of darkness, and return alive, it is already extraordinary," Jiang Xuan said directly. The master of the forbidden zone was indeed very strong, and was definitely the strongest among the Immortal Kings at his peak. However, there were too many dangers in the depths of the Boundary Sea. There were countless Dark Immortal Kings, not to mention the quasi-Immortal Emperors who looked down on the ages, and the Corpse Immortal Emperor in the final place.
"Eh..." Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the master of the forbidden zone was stunned. He originally thought that what Jiang Xuan knew was just a scene he had evolved in the past. After all, with his vision, he could naturally see that Jiang Xuan was very extraordinary. Even if he had not become an immortal, he was no weaker than a True Immortal.
However, he did not expect Jiang Xuan to know so clearly, which made him a little curious.
"You... are you a descendant of an old friend from the past?" The master of the forbidden zone asked.
Jiang Xuan shook his head, and then said again: "This junior knows many secrets because of some... accidents. As for the purpose of coming here... it is to seek Immortal Scripture secrets."
