Over the past few hundred years, many cultivators in the Sacred Region had gone against the order and left the Sacred Region.
Ming Xin did not care. After all, those who left would leave eventually, and those who stayed were all people with a strong will.
Buzz!
The ten Towers of Heaven shone brightly like a painting in the sky. Under the light, the entire place looked like a new world.
The pillars of light shone around like a spotlight, as though they were searching for something. Then, ten streaks of light suddenly shot out in ten different directions and appeared in the distance in just a blink of an eye. Their speed that shattered the space shocked everyone as they sailed through the Great Void, passing through the clouds and the vast horizon.
…
Lu Zhou, who had just returned, stopped and looked up. He was puzzled when he saw the lights flying in all directions.
'What happened?'
…
On land, whether it was the nine domains, the Unknown Land, or the Great Void, all humans looked up when they heard the sound of energy resonance and saw the unique streaks of lights in the sky. All of them were puzzled. No one knew what was happening.
…
Si Wuya looked at the ten Towers of Heaven in the Sky Encompassing Mirror. All of a sudden, he discovered that their shape resembled seeds. To be precise, they resembled the Great Void Seeds.
Swoosh!
In the sky, a huge pillar of light broke through the clouds and hit Si Wuya. He felt his body go numb, and he could not move. It firmly bound him. He sensed the power of the law from the light that was strange and mysterious before he asked, "What are you trying to do?"
Ming Xin remained calm from the beginning until the end. He looked at Si Wuya and said, "With your intelligence, you should be able to discover the answer."
Then, Ming Xin flicked his sleeve.
The scene in the Sky Encompassing Mirror changed.
Si Wuya was thoroughly shocked.
In the mirror, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, who were in the twin lotus domain, were bound by a thick pillar of light each and pulled up into the sky. The pillars of light were like vines.
Countless cultivators swarmed toward the pillars of light and attacked them. However, none of them could shake it in the slightest.
Zhao Yue in the golden lotus domain, Ye Tianxin in the white lotus domain, Conch in the green lotus domain, Mingshi Yin in the purple lotus domain, Duanmu Sheng in the red lotus domain… All of them were bound by the strange pillars of light.
The scene changed quickly in the mirror.
Si Wuya saw Bai Zhaoju attacking the pillar of light with his light disks. Despite the light disks' explosive power, they did nothing to the pillar of light.
At the same time, the pillar of light pulled Si Wuya higher and higher up into the sky.
Ming Xin said, "I obtained the Great Stone of Natural Law from the Great Maelstrom. Its power surpassed ordinary power. It has the most mysterious power in the world and can control the laws! All laws are useless in front of it. Everyone can only obey the laws but not break them! Do you understand now?"
Si Wuya looked at the Great Stone of Natural Law in disbelief. He thought about his master's Skynet Map, which could destroy runic passages and stop people from traveling freely. It was likely that the Great Stone of Natural Law was also from the Great Maelstrom.
From high up in the sky, Si Wuya asked, "Have you really been to the Great Maelstrom?"
Ming Xin replied indifferently, "I've been there many times…"
Si Wuya said, "I have one more question. Before I die, at least let me understand something."
"Speak."
Si Wuya asked, "Have you really comprehended the essence of the shackles of heaven and earth?"
Ming Xin did not expect Si Wuya to ask this question. However, his expression did not change at all. He only stared at Si Wuya unblinkingly.
Both sides continued to stare at each other.
Thunderous sounds kept ringing from the Unknown Land, and the fleeing cultivators in the sky saw Si Wuya who was bound by the pillar of light. They were panicking and could not even take care of themselves; how could they care about Si Wuya at this moment? Moreover, even if they wanted to save Si Wuya, they did not have the capability to do so. They only shouted, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Run!"
The silence between Si Wuya and Ming Xin seemed to stretch forever.
Finally, Ming Xin frowned slightly and said, "That's not important."
Si Wuya raised his voice and said vehemently, "No! It's very important!"
Ming Xin said, as though to himself, "When the sky falls completely, Sacred Region will be the dwelling of the 'gods'. It's the first and only one in the history of humans. Sacred Region will be the most powerful and prosperous place in the sky and in the world!"
Si Wuya shook his head. "So you want to build your own heaven… In any case, I want to say that you don't understand the essence of the shackles of heaven and earth."
"Hm?"
"Even if you've lived for a long time, you'll never understand it," Si Wuya said in a voice that reverberated in the sky.
Ming Xin was unmoved. The older one was, the more one would be set in their ways. He said, "Is that so? Then, let me show you what's the essence of heaven and earth."
Ming Xin bent down and placed his palm on the ground.
The ten streaks of light grew brighter and brighter, and the world shook.
Si Wuya instantly felt that pillar of light tightening around him. The energy from his Dantian's sea of Qi and the energy from the Great Void Seed were actually being forcefully drawn out by the pillar of light.
Then, a magical and shocking scene appeared.
Under Si Wuya's feet, a golden lotus that spanned 100,000 feet appeared. The lotus spun swiftly, forming a vortex that covered the sky.
Following that, all the energy in the black lotus domain gathered toward the golden lotus with a diameter of 100,000 feet.
…
At the Black Tower Council.
Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe quickly sensed the change. They flew into the sky and looked down on the mountains, rivers, and land.
"What happened?"
"Not good! All the vitality energy is converging north for some reason!"
The duo rose higher into the sky before they saw the golden lotus that spanned 100,000 feet. It was like a small sun that illuminated the land in the distance.
The duo looked at the golden lotus with their mouths agape and eyes filled with shock.
Even more shockingly, the golden lotus that spanned 100,000 feet suddenly began to expand!
The land shook violently, causing human cultivators to panic.
The commoners shivered as they hid in corners of the city.
Some cultivators tried to fly away, but the raging energy and the pulling force in the sky forced them to land.
This phenomenon was not unique to the black lotus domain. It was happening in the other eight domains as well.
…
In the green lotus domain.
Conch struggled with all her might in the sky.
At the same time, Bai Zhaoju attacked the pillar of light relentlessly.
Tens of thousands of cultivators also tried all sorts of methods and attacked the pillar of light, but they were unable to free Conch.
Even Bai Zhaoju, a divine emperor, could not help but feel worried. He said, "Little girl, you have to hold on for me! If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain myself to the two of them?"
Swoosh!
Bai Zhaoju rushed out again.
Light disks shone in the sky.
The other cultivators did not know what was happening. However, they all knew that they could not allow anything to happen to the disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, also the owner of the Great Void Seed, who helped them suppress the power of the earth.
Hence, although it was futile, the tens of thousands of cultivators did not stop attacking. On the contrary, they attacked in a frenzy.
Boom!
The light disks hit the pillar of light again.
Rumble!
The earth cracked, and tears appeared in the space.
The cultivators instinctively retreated. Their expressions were one of awe and shock.
…
In Feng'an, Yu Zhenghai was facing the same situation. He struggled so hard that his veins were bulging. The Jasper Saber and energy sabers kept slashing at the pillar of light, but it was useless.
Hua Yin, the first disciple of Autumn Dew Mountain, attacked with all his might as well, but it was also futile.
The cultivators here were in a mess as well.
…
In Luo Yang.
The Longevity Sword released countless energy swords, attacking the pillar of light that bound Yu Shangrong in the sky.
At this moment, a golden lotus that spanned 200,000 feet was absorbing all the vitality energy, Primal Qi, and power of the laws. All kinds of energy without exception were absorbed by it.
…
In the red lotus domain, the white lotus domain, the purple lotus domain, the yellow lotus domain, and the others…
A humongous golden lotus appeared at the same time and began to absorb the energy crazily.
The golden lotuses were greedily absorbing all the energy from the nine domains!
With this, chaos descended on the world.
