A discussion among the Greys.
If Chen Fan's ears were to catch wind of it, he would surely offer a bitter smile.
A trump card, what trump card did he possess?
His trump card was merely the confidence to fight heaven and earth.
Perhaps, Wusheng possessed the strength to face a Supreme Being.
But even if not, he would still open the spatial gate.
This battle was bound to erupt.
It all depended on whether the Hall of Gods could destroy them before the spatial gate opened.
As long as they could hold on until the spatial gate opened and survive, they would have succeeded.
This was Chen Fan's most honest thought.
...
Calm.
It persisted for twenty days.
Chen Fan reappeared at Matuo Peak, seeing the sky-piercing beam of light sealing it.
Besides the sealing line he controlled, the one held by the Hall of Gods had become slightly more solidified than before. In contrast, the seal controlled by Wusheng was on the verge of shattering. In a few more days, the seal would completely disappear.
"Can I do anything as well?"
Passive waiting was not Chen Fan's nature.
After a moment of contemplation, his power surged forth and landed on the stone.
This time, he wasn't trying to pry the stone, but to caress it. His power landed on the stone, perceiving it with seriousness.
His divine sense slowly emptied.
"Boom."
His mind suddenly trembled.
At this moment, Chen Fan felt as if he had appeared in another world.
He opened his eyes...
"This is, the mind domain world?"
Chen Fan had entered the mind domain world of the Fire Demon and knew what it looked like.
And now, everything before him gave him a very familiar feeling. He stood here, and the entire world was under his control.
"This is my mind domain world." Chen Fan realized.
This mind domain world belonged to him.
Compared to the Fire Demon's mind domain world, his mind domain world was as barren as a wasteland.
In the Fire Demon's mind domain world, the soul power was a vast, immense lake. As for his soul power, it was merely a small bubble, ten meters in diameter, and the lake was not yet filled.
"How embarrassing."
Chen Fan muttered, secretly despising himself.
Such a weak sea of consciousness was simply unworthy of him.
However, fortunately, the barrier of the mind domain world was very strong. Unless one possessed extremely powerful soul force, ordinary people could not penetrate it.
And at this moment, within his mind domain world, a thick, immense chain pierced through from the dome and inserted itself into the sea of souls.
"A seal?"
Chen Fan vaguely had a guess.
This chain should be the seal he controlled. Da Feng Novel Network.
Not a thread, but a chain.
At this moment, each link of the seal chain was inscribed with extremely complex patterns.
Chen Fan seemed to see a person, who collected divine metals from heaven and earth, forging three chains. Using the divine sword to summon the rules of heaven and earth, they were integrated into the chains, inscribing rule symbols. Then, using the Great Dao of Space, a spatial gate was cast, driving all the ancient demonic beasts into the spatial gate.
"Clang."
The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword appeared in Chen Fan's hand.
This was his mind domain world, and his weapon naturally could be summoned into it.
Without any hesitation, the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword was directly swung, striking the seal chain.
Boom!
With one sword, the chain vibrated.
The mind domain world shook violently in response.
Chen Fan's expression immediately changed, and he spat out a mouthful of soul blood.
When the soul bled, it was also soul power that was expelled.
The soul blood drifted and fell into the sea of souls below, integrating into it.
Chen Fan, his face pale, looked at the chain before him. Although filled with horror, his pupils gleamed, and he carefully examined the spot where the divine sword had struck.
"What rule is this?"
At that moment, a force of rules reverberated outwards.
It was precisely that counter-shocking force of rules that injured him.
Uncomprehending, perplexed.
This made Chen Fan even more curious, and he raised his hand to strike again.
Boom.
The mind domain world shook again.
More soul blood was sprayed.
Enduring the intense pain of his soul body, he stared at the chain.
A ripple spread from the chain. Vaguely, it seemed that something had been shattered by the divine sword and fell into the lake below.
"What exactly is it?"
Chen Fan closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his mind domain world.
Indeed, there were slight changes, but... he couldn't feel them clearly.
"I'll see what you are." Chen Fan's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
As for the turmoil in his mind domain world, as long as it didn't shatter, it was fine.
"Bang bang bang."
The sea of consciousness world produced the sound of blacksmithing.
The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword was continuously swung, striking the chain.
With each tremor, Chen Fan would spit out a mouthful of soul blood, which would then merge into the small lake.
Soon, this power would be fed back to Chen Fan.
As time passed, the changes in the mind domain world became clearer and clearer.
Finally, at a certain moment, a character slowly took shape, imprinted in the sea of consciousness world.
"镇" (Zhen - Suppress).
The "Zhen" of suppression.
The moment this character appeared, the clearest perception Chen Fan had was that his sea of consciousness world had become more solid.
The "Zhen" character was assimilated by the mind domain world and became his character.
"I understand now."
At this point, even Chen Fan, foolish as he might be, understood something.
This chain was the condensation of Wuji's Great Dao.
Suppression.
This entire chain was the condensation of a rule, and also the Great Dao of Wuji Supreme.
One chain represented one rule, one Great Dao. Such a means was simply astounding.
Chen Fan did not yet understand the realm of a Supreme Being.
But he knew that that Wuji Supreme must also control a Great Dao of Space, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seal all the ancient demonic beasts into another space.
Space, suppression...
If one chain represented one Great Dao, what was the other one?
Did it mean that a Supreme Being had to completely master a Great Dao before they could achieve their realm?
If that was the case, how many rules did Wuji seal behind the spatial gate to seal the ancient demonic beasts back then?
Everything was intertwined like a riddle.
Wuji Supreme, sealing the ancient demonic beasts was one thing, but why did he also seal the Supreme Dao?
"Forget it, I won't bother with it."
Time was pressing. What Chen Fan wanted most now was to obtain this Supreme rule and Great Dao.
Once he successfully took possession of this Great Dao, he might be able to instantly ascend to the Supreme Being realm.
"Clang clang clang."
In the mind domain world, it once again became a blacksmithing site.
...
Ten days remained until the opening of the spatial gate.
Chen Fan was in seclusion. Fire Demon, Old Demon Chu, Lan Kuang... they had all knocked on the City Lord's door, but received no response.
Faintly, they could all hear the sound of blacksmithing.
"What is the City Lord doing?"
This was the question in everyone's mind.
Unfortunately, there was no answer.
As long as the City Lord did not emerge from seclusion, no one dared to disturb him.
Meanwhile, the outside world was not peaceful.
Before the most violent storm arrived, the calm was merely a prelude, and more importantly, there were undercurrents.
The demon beast legions and the forces of the Skull Society had already begun to infiltrate the Western Regions in secret.
In Wenlan City, with Chen Fan absent, no one could make a decision.
Finally, Old Demon Chu made the call: "We will encroach upon the Western Regions. Whatever happens, I will take responsibility..."
