Chapter 187: A Glimpse of the Future
The creature with a dragon head and human body looked at the old man in front, a rare look of solemnity appearing on its face, and said in a deep voice, "Although you are exceptionally powerful, almost comparable to an Extreme Dao Supreme, you are too old, nearly decayed.
It is better not to enter; leave the opportunity to the juniors."
After a pause, it continued, "Although there are some divine medicines in the city, they are for the juniors' baptism.
Divine medicines are probably not uncommon for cultivators of your level."
The knowledge of these creatures came from the cultivators of the luan gu era, from Fang Ming's Reincarnation Body's Immortal King Dao fruit, and they basically knew nothing about the situation on the Covering Heavens side.
They naturally assumed that cultivators like Gai Jiuyou would not lack divine medicines.
Hearing this, Gai Jiuyou smiled and said, "It's laughable to say, I have cultivated for nine thousand years and have never obtained a complete divine medicine!"
"What?"
The creature with a dragon head and human body looked at Gai Jiuyou in surprise and pressed, "What did you say?
Did you say you have only cultivated for nine thousand years?"
It frowned, its expression becoming solemn, and it murmured, "If that's the case, isn't the outside world connected by the Immortal Gate in an era of decline?"
Saying that, a peculiar look appeared in its eyes as it looked at Gai Jiuyou, and it said, "If so, didn't you become a Supreme at around a thousand years old? Or even younger?"
"Supreme?"
Gai Jiuyou pondered for a moment, then said, "Is Fellow Daoist talking about a Quasi-Emperor?
I became a Quasi-Emperor at nine hundred years old, and I reached my current realm at fifteen hundred years old."
Hearing this, the creature with a dragon head and human body cupped its hands, showing apology, and said, "It was I who was unclear about the truth just now.
Fellow Daoist's talent is astonishing, but you were born in the wrong era."
"If Fellow Daoist were born in that glorious Immortal Ancient Era, you would be at least a True Immortal, and possibly even achieve the realm of an Immortal King!"
It said with deep emotion.
Beside Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan and the others were inwardly shaken, not expecting the people in the Immortal City to have such a high evaluation of the old man!
The name Immortal King, upon hearing it, one knew it was not an ordinary Immortal Dao creature, perhaps a level of unimaginable power.
Xia Jiuyou was even more proud, extremely delighted; Gai Jiuyou was the person she respected the most.
Just as Gai Jiuyou was about to inquire about the Immortal Ancient Era, the creature with a dragon head and human body spoke, "I know Fellow Daoist has many questions in your heart, but most of these questions will have answers within the city.
If there are no answers, I wouldn't know either."
Gai Jiuyou nodded, and finally asked, "Fellow Daoist, is this realm an Immortal Domain?"
"How does one define whether a world is an Immortal Domain?"
That creature asked Gai Jiuyou in return, "Is it by allowing people to achieve longevity? Or is it by the strength of the world itself?"
Gai Jiuyou thought for a moment, then replied, "It should possess both.
The name Immortal Domain is ultimately just a definition.
Worlds with such capabilities might all be called Immortal Domains."
As the saying goes, shallow water cannot raise a True Dragon; if the world itself is not strong enough, it will certainly be difficult for powerful existences to be born.
The pond itself cannot be too shallow, and there shouldn't be too obvious shortcomings.
Just like the current outside world, although Great Emperors are astonishing across the heavens, the constraint of lifespan prevents them from fully utilizing their talents and reaching their peak potential.
Hearing the words of this creature, Gai Jiuyou was startled, realizing that this might also be a waste of resources, which was too regrettable.
Gai Jiuyou was confident that he was no weaker than the Great Emperors in history, but he also did not believe that the Great Emperors in history would be much weaker than himself.
Since he had such potential in the eyes of this creature, then those Great Emperors and Dao achievers might not lack corresponding potential.
The environment is very important!
"That's right, the name Immortal Domain is just a definition."
The humanoid creature nodded and said faintly, "Whether it is an Immortal Domain or not doesn't need to be debated.
What you need is to become as strong as possible.
Perhaps the time you have for peaceful cultivation is not much."
Seeing that these few creatures had no intention of explaining further, Gai Jiuyou and the others thanked them and strode into the interior of the Immortal City.
The interior of the Immortal City was actually much wider than it appeared from the outside, extremely vast, no different from a world.
Tall trees looked as if they had grown for millions of years, and in the depths of the tall, dense forest, majestic palaces stood.
Those palaces had Immortal patterns flickering on them, light flowing, exuding an unspeakable majesty.
Inside the palaces, fierce battles erupted, clearly indicating that opportunities had to be fought for with one's own ability and were not easily obtained.
Here, mutual attacks were prohibited, but the struggle for opportunities was not restricted.
No one knew what people obtained inside the palaces.
Within the Immortal City, there were nine particularly tall Immortal mountains, connecting heaven and earth, as if supporting the sky.
They were filled with Chaos energy, emanating Immortal light, possessing the aura of primordial Chaos.
Many people rushed towards the nine Immortal mountains, all wanting to obtain true Immortal destiny.
Without hesitation, Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan and the others naturally headed towards the nine magnificent Immortal mountains.
They were eager to know the secrets related to this place; they had too many doubts in their hearts.
The Immortal mountains stretched for unknown millions of miles, connecting heaven and earth, like they connected to The Heavens.
Vaguely, one could see palaces extending one after another on the Immortal mountains, possessing an unspeakable Immortal Dao aura.
At the foot of a mountain vaguely emitting seven-colored Immortal light, a seven-colored Immortal light Immortal stele stood.
Seven-colored Immortal Dao runes intertwined, forming profound patterns imprinted on the crystal-clear Immortal stele, and the supreme and grand Immortal Dao aura spread.
"Xuan Ming? Could this be the Immortal King who left behind the Great Dao inheritance?"
Looking at the patterns on the Immortal stele, their meaning naturally emerged in their minds.
They inexplicably recalled the words of the dragon-headed creature from before.
The few people did not hesitate for too long and immediately stepped onto the mountain path emitting seven-colored light.
With a 'swish', the seven-colored light flashed, and the four people instantly disappeared.
Different people had different experiences.
As the light flashed, Ye Fan felt as if he had experienced thousands of reincarnations, as if he was crossing through reincarnation.
In a trance, he saw a Reincarnation Disk emitting Immortal light and Chaos energy, upon which countless heavens seemed to rise and fall in the river of Time, undergoing reincarnation.
When the scene before his eyes became clear again, the scene had already drastically changed, undergoing earth-shattering transformations.
What met his eyes was a fragmented world.
The starry sky seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the entire world felt as if it had died!
He was sitting cross-legged on an unimaginably vast city, wearing majestic armor forged from Immortal metal.
At this moment, there was an unimaginable terrifying power within his body, capable of destroying all phenomena at will, causing heaven and earth to explode.
He felt that he was at his absolute peak, so strong that even he himself could not measure how powerful he was at that moment!
"How could this be!?"
Ye Fan stood up, drew a line in the void, and instantly saw his current self.
He was no longer young; the years had left traces on his face.
He had a middle-aged appearance, possessing a great majesty.
"What exactly is going on?"
Ye Fan found it hard to believe.
At first, he thought it was an illusion, but no matter what method he used, he could not break through it.
Various methods verified that this was not an illusion.
His divine sense spread out, extending beyond the Borderland giant city, traversing one star system after another.
He felt so strong that he could destroy the eight directions with a single thought, easily shatter star systems across the heavens, and swallow Chaos.
Finally, in the endless fragmented star systems, he saw something familiar: a piece of a broken Dao bell fragment.
It was very familiar; it was clearly a fragment of the Limitless Bell.
Different from the Limitless Bell he had seen before, this fragment gave him a feeling like an Immortal cauldron, possessing an Immortal Dao aura.
Then, he saw fragments of the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Heaven Devouring Demon Pot...
The Grand Emperor Sword, the Void Mirror, the Nine Li Map, the Western Empress Ta...
Endless fragmented star systems turned into cosmic dust drifting, and enormous corpses floated in the cosmic starry sky.
They were one Supreme after another, and Ye Fan even saw people he knew, his former opponents.
Like the Kirin corpse that was even larger than a star system, no matter how he looked at it, it resembled the transformation of Fire Kirin.
And the vividly bloody Blood Phoenix, which was clearly the corpse of Huang Xudao...
Whether outside or inside, he did not see any living creatures in this universe.
Only he himself sat cross-legged on this dead, giant city constructed from star systems.
This giant city built from star systems was unimaginably vast, containing Immortal Great Dao runes, situated in an unknown Borderland of the universe, guarding against something unknown.
Looking at the corpses of his former enemies, Ye Fan clenched his fists and instinctively gritted his teeth.
It was not difficult to guess that something unimaginably terrifying must have happened in the future.
With a great enemy before them, his former opponents had joined forces, yet they still died in battle, leaving only him.
"Trace the origin!"
Ye Fan roared, and instantly light flowed.
This place was submerged in immeasurable Immortal light, and scene after scene appeared above the sky.
At that time, the Borderland giant city had not yet been built, and the enemies appeared abruptly.
The enemies were shrouded in ominous gray-white mist, possessing an unspeakably evil and eerie feeling, seemingly endless, emerging from a strange and inexplicable place.
Ye Fan saw Ruthless Great Emperor, he saw Limitless Great Emperor.
Duan De, who usually appeared somewhat sleazy, was now full of seriousness and solemnity.
He himself, wearing battle armor forged from Immortal metal, led countless Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals...
This was an unimaginable great battle.
Endless Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals charged, Dao achievers dueled, star systems dimmed one after another, and the power of the Immortal Dao surged.
The battle was extremely fierce, Immortal light soared into the sky, the universe shattered...
Watching the battle scenes, Ye Fan's body trembled uncontrollably.
He clearly saw his closest friend, Pang Bo, fall in the fierce battle.
He saw Jiang Shenwang, who had shown him great kindness, also fall under the siege of a group of strange enemies.
The Holy Prince self-destructed and died, the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Melody became a绝响...
Almost all familiar people died in the fierce battle, no one was spared...
Finally, the scene blurred, leaving only himself, covered in blood, standing on this giant city, sitting alone on the city, guarding this place, gazing in the direction from which the enemies came.
"How could this be..."
Ye Fan trembled all over, his eyes filled with bloodshot.
He found it hard to accept this reality!
Lowering his head, Ye Fan didn't know how long passed before he regained his composure.
He cut off all his distracting thoughts, calmed the waves, and filled himself with fighting spirit again, just like when he had reversed the Great Dao back then.
"I believe this is not true.
I believe that even if it is true, it can be changed."
Ye Fan raised his head again, an unprecedented beam of light erupting in his eyes.
His will burned like the Great Dao Immortal Fire, almost igniting this world.
"I believe that when cultivation reaches the peak, nothing is fixed, everything can be broken, reversing ancient and modern times, everything can be turned around!"
Ye Fan closed his eyes, a flame burning in his heart.
He had completely calmed down, no longer panicked, able to face all of this calmly.
"Boom!"
At this moment, outside the Borderland, endless star systems exploded, and power fluctuations at the Immortal Dao level erupted.
World-shaking power spread, carrying ominous mist that covered the sky and earth, arriving at the Borderland in an instant.
Within the ominous gray-white mist, figures larger than star systems appeared.
Without any surprise, this battle erupted just like that.
In the fierce battle, Ye Fan felt as if he had experienced hundreds of millions of battles.
His divine abilities were naturally formed, used effortlessly.
From the start, he caused the ominous Immortal blood to splatter...
Unfortunately, the strange creatures that emerged from the gray-white mist were not just one or two, and this battle had no suspense!
Although he blew up more than one or two strange creatures, he ultimately fell.
Somewhere on the Immortal mountain emitting seven-colored light, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes still filled with blazing fighting intent.
