Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 498 - 497 Time Projection (Second Update)

The instant the illusory gate of light appeared!

Qin Heng could feel the Supreme Law being stirred. The power of the battle between Ninth Heaven Xuan Nu and Athena had pierced the hidden core of Penglai Island, exposing this mysterious and profound force.

This silvery light, as if it contains the mighty power of time, penetrating past and future, is a power I never truly came into contact with even when I was in the Eternal Realm!

This discovery filled Qin Heng with immense excitement. On the Earth of this parallel world, there indeed were too many secrets and opportunities. Merely the emergence of this mysterious radiance had improved his cultivation.

If he could truly enter the gate constructed by this radiance, he would definitely achieve even greater gains.

Penglai Fairy Island, the legendary gathering place of ancient Immortal Gods. In my previous life, I had also visited here, attempting to find like-minded individuals, but that Earth had no cultivators at all. Yet, this Earth of the parallel world is completely different. So full of secrets!

Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. As he explored and comprehended the Supreme Law, he increasingly felt that this world's Earth was vastly different from the one he had known in his past life.

"Little fox, do you recognize what that light is?" Qin Heng asked Nie Rongrong, wrapping his voice with Mana.

This little fox hailing from the ancient Mount Tu Fox Clan must surely have a rich heritage, and she herself was over a thousand years old. She might know some secrets and lore unknown to others.

"I don't recognize it," Nie Rongrong shook her head and responded, "But this power feels truly shocking. To sense that silvery light with my Spiritual Sense is like seeing time itself, even more terrifying than when I saw my grandfather! Could this be the great opportunity on Penglai Island?? Her grandfather was already an immortal emperor, who, though reclusive in Mount Tu, possessed the power to dominate the Star Sea in the mortal realm!"

However, Qin Heng didn't think much of a power that was merely at the Returning to Empty level. In his perception, although the power contained in the silvery light wasn't strong, its essence was extremely high! It even vaguely exceeded the limits of his Divine Sense's comprehension!

Qin Heng's Divine Sense, though damaged, its essence was still at the level of an Eternal Immortal Emperor. Yet, the silver radiance at the center of Penglai Island actually seemed to surpass the limits of his understanding!

Inconceivable! Since his rebirth into this parallel world, this was the first time Qin Heng had encountered such a situation! Half an hour! I need at most half an hour to comprehend the Supreme Law contained within this portion of radiance! And the gains from just this half-hour surpass all of my enlightenment since my rebirth until now! Great gains! Great opportunity!! Even if this trip to Penglai Island yielded no other gains, for me, it is still an immense opportunity! However, it was clear! That silvery light is still only an illusion, and it won't just stop there! As more light spills from the crack, the illusory gate will certainly become more solidified, bringing me more and greater gains!!

Qin Heng multitasked. While teaching his classmates the "Muscle-Tendon Change Classic," he simultaneously comprehended that mysterious silvery radiance.

「In the central area of Penglai Island, amidst the mountains and forests.」

Ning Shuying, the Star Lord of Greedy Wolf, descended from the sky and bowed respectfully to a tall and burly middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe, with a dignified face, saying, "Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana."

"Hmm." The Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana was taciturn and sparing with words, as if he treasured them like gold. Seeing Ning Shuying arrive, he just gave a slight nod.

"Weren't you teaching students over there?" asked the Star Lord of Water Virtue, dressed in a blue Taoist robe and holding a landscape folding fan, his brows slightly knit. "This place is too dangerous."

"Greedy Wolf is inherently combative and needs to fight," said a handsome man in his twenties, with a vertical golden line on his brow resembling a third eye. He was a Great Grandmaster at the peak of Innate from the Myth Organization, code-named True Lord of Pure Origin and Profound Dao. He cultivated the supreme Divine Skills "Eight-Nine Mystery Art" and "Jade Pure Origin True Scripture"! Although both were incomplete fragments, his strength still far surpassed the limits of Innate, enough to slay a Semi-Saint!

"One more person helping isn't too many," Lv Chunyang said with a smile. With a longsword strapped to his back, his gaze remained fixed on the battle in the sky. He added, "Just make sure those students don't come to any harm."

"The students have been taken care of. I'm here to help Sister Xuan Nu," Ning Shuying said clearly and concisely. "Two Semi-Saints have come from Mount Olympus; if they resort to shameful sneak attacks, it will be very disadvantageous for Sister Xuan Nu."

"The Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana and I are more than enough to deal with a mere two Semi-Saints," the True Lord of Pure Origin and Profound Dao said with a laugh. "Sun God Apollo and War God Ares are both powerhouses among the twelve Semi-Saints of Mount Olympus. I've long wanted to test my mettle against them!"

He was a battle maniac, obsessed with martial arts, his heart devoted to Martial Dao, with no distractions. Engaging in combat with powerful opponents was, for him, the greatest benefit.

"Do not take this lightly," the Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana suddenly spoke. "The enemy is not only them."

"What!?"

The others were all taken aback.

「In another direction.」

A Japanese Shinto priest, his face pale and bloodless, arrived in the central area of Penglai Island with a shrine maiden.

Gazing at the radiance bursting from the crack in the ground, he was incredibly excited. "Miwa! Do you see it? That is the supreme radiance of ancient myths and legends! It is said that even the Supreme Heavenly Venerable who Paved the World had to carefully comprehend that radiance!!"

He muttered to himself, "This is the power of nature, the miracle of creation! It is the supreme that we mortals cannot touch! Be still and wait, Miwa. Wait for the grand gate formed by this brilliance to take shape. Then we will kill everyone, enter the legendary fairyland, and seize what Amaterasu Omikami needs!"

"Yes, Master," the beautiful shrine maiden nodded, her expression vacant but obedient to the priest.

「At the foot of a high mountain.」

Cheng Yuyao was surrounded by moonlit brilliance, having concealed all her aura under the guidance of Su Weiyang.

With the help of Su Weiyang's perception, she quietly observed the battle in the sky. She also noted the intense changes in the center of Penglai Island: the mysterious silver radiance and the ethereal gate of light being constructed.

"This is a projection of time, a profound and mighty force beyond anyone's reach! Even the Supreme Heavenly Emperor who reigns over all heavens and myriad worlds, or the Peerless Heavenly Venerable who Paved the World, could at most only comprehend it!" Su Weiyang's voice in Cheng Yuyao's mind was filled with unconcealable excitement. "Such brilliance, even in my era, had faded into legend, and now it has reappeared! Could it be that the gods and Immortal Gods who left the Central Heavenly Domain in ancient times might also return??"
