What is nothingness?
Many people knew about it, but there were not many who could truly see and feel it.
Nothingness was not nothing, nor was it vague, nor was it illusory.
Nothingness was the bottom layer of the starry sky. To a certain extent, it could be said to be a layer of separation. However, this separation was too big, so much so that after stepping into this place, nothing could be seen.
However, not being able to see did not mean that there was nothing.
!!
What existed here was the memories of all living beings. It could be compared to an ocean of collective consciousness. Here… In theory, one could see the life of every living being that had ever existed. However, it was limited to the dead, the living.., one could not see it here unless they were looking at themselves.
However, that was only in theory. Because there were too many memories here, almost no living beings could withstand the fusion of this majestic memory. Therefore, they would naturally reject it, as a result… There was nothing in the nothingness.
This was an instinctive self-protection.
However, Chen Qing Zi was different. He did not know what level of cultivation he had reached, but he knew… that in this nothingness, if he wanted to, he could see the memories of all living beings.
That was not important, because he did not want to spend his time and effort looking at the lives of others. especially… there were no traces of Weiyang Zi here.
And that… proved his judgement.
In truth… Wei Yangzi wasn’t dead.
That wasn’t important either, because Chen Qingzi already knew of Wei Yangzi’s plan. It was an open conspiracy, and although he knew about it, he still had to go.
If he didn’t go, he could stay in the stone stele world. However, hiding wouldn’t help him in the future, and it would also make him lose his desire to seek the Dao.
In the end… what was supposed to happen would still happen. What was supposed to happen would still happen.
“Junior brother…”he murmured, shaking his head. “You are the light, and I am the dark. If I succeed, then the secrets of immortality will remain forever. I will bear the responsibility for all of the Karma. If I fail, I will die a martyr… .
“And I will fulfill your wish!”His eyes shone with determination, and he looked forward to the future. Step by step, he rose up into the void, stepping into the depths of the starry sky, stepping through the memories of the past as he walked off into the distance.
This was a path to seek the Dao.
It was also a journey to seek the heart.
As he took his first step, ripples appeared in the air. Within those ripples, Chen Qingzi saw an image.
In the image was a burning mortal village. There was a seven or eight-year-old boy dressed in tattered clothes. His body was incredibly skinny, and he was kneeling in front of the flames, letting out a miserable cry.
The cry was filled with helplessness and confusion. There was also a hatred that was still budding, but was growing rapidly.
In the distance, a group of mortal soldiers could be seen. They had a cruel air about them as they disappeared at the end of the mountain. The army had a strong bandit aura, and one could vaguely see the totem of a black snake on the slanted flagpole.
When the picture disappeared, Chen Qingzi closed his eyes and took the second step. The third step… The pictures appeared one after another beneath his feet.
The second image was of a mortal capital city. Within the Imperial Palace, corpses littered the ground. All the remaining soldiers surrounded a young man. However… the person who was surrounded was clearly that young man, however, it was the surrounding soldiers who were trembling.
As the young man walked forward step by step, everyone began to back up. When there was no room for retreat, he saw the main hall of the imperial palace in front of the young man. He saw a middle-aged man sitting on the throne, his face ashen.
Behind the man was the totem of his country, a black snake.
In the next instant, the totem collapsed, the army perished, and the Emperor perished!
The third image was of a vast sect. An old man in a purple robe lowered his head to look at the young man kneeling in front of him and spoke slowly.
“What’s Your Name?”
“Chen Qing.”
“In the future, you will be called Chen Qing Zi, and I. . . will be your master,”the old man said calmly. His words fell into the young man’s ears, causing him to raise his head. He looked at the old man in front of him, and also at the mountain gate behind the old man, two large black words were written on a huge stone.
Dark sect.
“Master…”Chen Qingzi, who had taken the third step, opened his eyes and looked down at the scene below his feet. After a long while, he took the fourth step, the fifth step, and the sixth step.
During these three steps, he saw himself in the dark sect, grazing the souls of the dead in the starry sky. He saw his little junior brother, who had suddenly been brought back to the sect by his master one day.
At that time, he had sensed some very special fluctuations from his little junior brother. These fluctuations… were very familiar to him. It was as if… he had seen another version of himself.
“He is the light, and I am the Dark… master. The mission of the dark sect is to prevent the departure of Immortals. However, from you… it has changed to prevent any existence from leaving.”
“This kind of expansion is actually a form of protection and also… tacit approval.”
“Tacit approval for me… and also for little junior brother…”
“Because… he obtained the inheritance of an immortal, and I… AM also an immortal’s inheritance. The inheritance of an immortal is not one!”
“You are the same as me, are you tired of the mission… In the end, your completion was actually… your two consciousnesses destroying each other. Little Junior Brother doesn’t know, and I don’t want him to suffer too much…”Chen Qingzi murmured, he lowered his head and continued walking.
Step by step, he continued walking until he saw his own subconscious feeling among the countless souls. He stared at one of the souls, the light in his eyes, and the image of his hands filled with killing the moment the dark sect collapsed.
It was unfamiliar, but also very familiar.
There were many scenes. The killing of the divine emperor, the killing of Weiyang, the killing of tens of thousands of races, everything. As Chen Qingzi walked, his entire life appeared beneath his feet. The last scene that appeared was Wang Baole raising his head, the Loud Cry..
“Senior brother, come back alive.”
“I will,”Chen Qingzi said softly. He had walked to the end of the void and took the final step. As he took that step, the entire void began to shake. An indescribable pressure descended with a loud bang, it transformed into a gigantic palm that landed in front of Chen Qingzi and stopped him.
The palm was the will of the entire stone stele world, and it was… The Hand of allheaven!
A thick wave of underworld qi also spread out from the palm.
“I am the Heavenly Dao of the dark sect,”said Chen Qing Zi. “I am the current underworld emperor, and I have the highest will in the stone stele world!”As the words left his mouth, the underworld qi on his body erupted, and the black fish at the center of his brows glittered, he stared at the palm.
The auras of both sides seemed to originate from the same source. After a long moment, the palm slowly dissipated, and as it did, an ancient stone door appeared in front of Chen Qingzi.
Chen Qingzi stood in front of the door and remained silent for a long time. In the end, he flicked his sleeve, and the stone door instantly opened with a bang. As it did, Chen Qingzi saw that there was still nothing beyond the stone door.
There was no end to it, and even further away, there was a huge crack. This crack… seemed to have been forced out by someone.
“The stone tablet world is divided into three levels. The first level… is the core of the world, which is the universe. The second level… is the inner wall of the stone tablet, which is the void behind this door. Where I am, is between the core and the inner wall. As for the third level..
“That crack is the outer wall, which is also the third level!”
Chen Qing zi narrowed his eyes as he stood within the door. The instant he scanned the outside, suddenly… a vast blood shadow flashed past the door. In the blink of an eye, even more blood shadows flashed past. Upon closer inspection.., those so-called blood shadows were like the Whiskers on the body of some creature.
However, because this creature was too big, just the Whiskers alone were already majestic and shocking!
At the same time, as these blood shadows flashed by, waves of sharp hissing sounds could be heard.
This sound was enough to pierce through the divine soul and tear apart everything, shocking all living beings. Even those below the universe grade who heard it would immediately have their flesh and blood disintegrate, and their divine soul would be destroyed!
“Is it you that Weiyang Zi is waiting for… ?”
“And it’s you… who’s trying to possess my little junior brother?”
“A true emperor!”
