Chapter 845 839: Breaking the Seal, the Well of Gods and Demons Collapses
After the Western Mother Empress emerged, even though there was a hidden danger of the Well of Gods and Demons being breached, it could still be stopped in time to prevent any problems from arising.
Having one more ally is always better than having one more enemy.
The Time Ancestor is not omniscient and cannot ensure everything is under control, nor eliminate the possibility of engaging in a battle of wits with the air.
However, once suspicion arises about someone, it's inevitably difficult to suppress such thoughts.
Is the West Sacred Mother Queen truly an ally? Or a disguised enemy?
Jia Ren's knowledge of the West Sacred Mother Queen stems from the Emperor of Fengdu in the Nether Domain, as well as the guardian's identity.
He actively sought out the Emperor of Fengdu, all stemming from the goodwill released during the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns.
Why did the Sky Dream Demon Saint's deceitful dream become a hint and warning? I have glimpsed the future.
This is the source of the West Sacred Mother Queen claiming there is something unusual about her time.
Could he use the Emperor of Fengdu as a pawn and, through his own hand, release the West Sacred Mother Queen?
There's no guarantee whether the Emperor of Fengdu and the West Sacred Mother Queen are telling the truth. For instance, is the West Sacred Mother Queen also a member of the return faction?
If she is released and she turns into a madman intent on destroying the Well of Gods and Demons, evil actions will only bring evil consequences.
To rescue the West Sacred Mother Queen, first find out what role she plays in the Celestial Court and whether she will facilitate the return of the Creator Sovereign.
Just as Jia Ren was leaving, an Earth Dragon emerged from the depths and brought forth a gray slab, with text inscribed on it.
"I almost forgot to remind you of the most important thing."
"Have you slain your three corpses?"
"I have not slain them." Jia Ren's eyes showed a strange light, not answering directly but communicating through text as well.
The Evil Corpse was not slain because I returned to the Lower Realm. The Good Corpse was cut down, yet only sealed and not killed off for now.
Upon hearing this, the text on the slab changed.
"It's just as well the three corpses have not been exterminated."
"The three corpses remain, a hidden danger, yet they hold crucial significance."
"Exterminate the three corpses, and body and mind will better align with the Great Dao, beneficial for entering the Dao, mastering the Dao, and achieving the Unity Stage."
"If the Great Dao of the world was normal, it's one thing; but once all three Wells of Gods and Demons are breached, corruption will be everywhere."
"Only upon reaching the Unity Realm Stage can one resist the bizarre transformation of the Great Dao, and with the three corpses still present, one can stabilize one's state and resist the Creator Sovereign's will's erosion."
"Since when have the legends of the various clans about slaying the three corpses all turned into absolute extermination of the three corpses..."
The text on the slab disappeared and re-submerged into the ground.
Should the three corpses not be completely cut off?
Corrosion by the Creator Sovereign's will?
Is this something faced when advancing to the Ancestral Master Realm or only an experience of the Xuantian Celestial Clan?
No, the Xuantian Celestial Clan is born into the Ancestral Master Realm and doesn't need to undergo the slaying of three corpses; it should be targeting immortals, demons, spirits, and ghosts...
Is this a problem that only arose after the Well of Gods and Demons was breached?
Why have no factions revealed this, while they have long known of it?
What unknown secrets lie within?
In contact with these ancient powers and mysteries, the more Jia Ren discovered, the more questions arose in his heart.
Jia Ren, using the Linghuan True Heart, sensed the Black Insect King's Divine Sea; unfortunately, this creature only had superficial understanding of the Celestial Court, and only had praises for the West Sacred Mother Queen.
"Who to ask about ancient matters?"
Lord Ming Luo? Zhuang Baoxiang?
The former is my inadequate master, barely trustworthy, yet the latter is more reliable.
Unfortunately, when Zhuang Baoxiang ascended, the era of the Celestial Court had long ended, and he does not know the truth.
The Dao Ancestor of the North Cold Immortal Palace is merely a trading relation, and asking her would be less effective than asking Lord Ming Luo.
"I should seek out my fortuitous master!"
Jia Ren used Spatial Banishment and vanished on the spot.
In a desolate place in the Black Death Demon Realm, his figure gradually emerged, slowly sinking into the depths.
Soon, a dark palace appeared before his eyes.
With his mastery over space, any place visited once would be firmly etched in his heart, difficult to forget.
The interior of the palace was desolate, the central spring dried up, lifeless, resembling a deserted mansion.
The rear palace no longer had two Dao Bizarre mummified corpses, leaving no trace behind.
Have they left?
As suspicion arose in Jia Ren's heart, a familiar voice appeared out of nowhere, and subtle changes occurred in the decorations of the palace.
The once empty main hall now suddenly contained Lord Ming Luo's figure; he sat alone in the rear hall, as if he had always been there, only Jia Ren couldn't see him before.
Indeed, the Sealing Way is extraordinary!
"What have you come to seek from your master?"
Lord Ming Luo's tone was not intimate, with a hint of disdain: "If it wasn't for you leading Yang Chengcang here, I wouldn't have had to hide."
Looking at Lord Ming Luo, Jia Ren secretly scolded, weren't you hiding all along?
Don't put the blame falsely on me.
Yang Chengcang's deterrence regarding the Bizarre Path was too strong; even Lord Ming Luo was immensely wary of him.
"I am quite interested in ancient secrets and wish to know about the Genesis myth. What roles do the various factions play in the Celestial Court?"
He did not express his desire to release the West Sacred Mother Queen to avoid trouble.
Lord Mingluo's eyes sparkled as he murmured, "I don't know much about the Genesis myth; the Xuantian Celestial Clan has sealed most of the information, rarely leaking any."
"The Celestial Court has existed for countless epochs, ancient and decaying, with constant internal conflict. It is divided into multiple factions, the strongest of which are the East Sacred Emperor and the West Sacred Mother Queen; one governs the Great Dao of Destruction, while the other governs the Great Dao of Life. These two powerhouses are like water and fire."
"The various forces such as the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor, Samsara Buddha Ancestor, Dark Demon Lord, Swallowing Heaven Demon Saint, and Nether Ghost Lord have won only because the Celestial Court has just experienced an internal struggle; they merely picked the fruit."
At this point, his voice paused: "After the East Sacred Emperor's death, he never returned; the West Sacred Mother Queen was sealed, some of the Xuantian Celestial Clan fell without returning, while others transformed into Xuantian Immortal Treasures."
Lord Mingluo disclosed only a little information, holding minimal value.
However, Jia Ren looked at the two Ancestors of Deceit, sensed the power of the Bizarre Path within them, and immediately came up with an idea.
To steal the power of the sealed Dao Ancestors to elevate his cultivation level.
Not to mention two Ancestors of Deceit; even one is enough to fill up four hundred and eighty Star Celestial Palaces for faster advancement to the Ancestral Master Realm.
"Master, these are of little use to you, so why not invest in your disciple instead? I don't need the Bizarre Path power."
"This is also for your early recovery."
Lord Mingluo shook his head, saying, "That's not possible. The sealing of these two was coincidental luck; once the seal is lifted, neither you nor I can prevent them from self-destructing to revive at the anchor point."
Jia Ren looked helpless and had to give up.
Without acquiring much of what he wanted, he could only leave with regret.
"Release the West Sacred Mother Queen."
Jia Ren had a thought and no longer hesitated.
No matter the outcome, he was mentally prepared.
He returned to the Sealed Land, where the space force intertwined with the heavenly formation, touching a core inaccessible to anyone.
Innumerable patterns wove together in regions invisible to the common eye, sketching out intricate heavenly formation patterns.
This space is independent from the outside; even if it is subjected to destructive forces, they cannot penetrate this space, making the formation impregnable and immune to brute force disruption.
Jia Ren's eyes glowed with peculiar light, meticulously observing each pattern and ingraining them deep in his memory.
Perhaps they would be useful one day; more methods are always better than none.
After all, this is a formation capable of sealing Dao Ancestor Level entities.
Lord Mingluo's Sealing Way is indeed useful, but he certainly couldn't kill his master and steal his Sealing Way, right?
After a long time, the imprint in his mind was complete, ensuring he had thoroughly memorized it.
His fist tore through space, traversing the invisible passage directly to that space.
Boom!
The internal space and the corresponding patterns shattered, and the seal was broken.
Buzz!
The strange force within disappeared entirely, seemingly returning to the world, reconnecting with heaven and earth.
His divine sense, previously limited, could now perceive the distant cloud-covered demonic swamp and the lurking demons.
A part of what once belonged to Cloud Marsh Demon Swamp returned to its original domain.
An earth dragon emerged from the ground, flying outside the bounds of Cloud Marsh Demon Swamp.
Since sealing, it left its activity range for the first time.
As the first seal was broken, Jia Ren appeared at the second Sealed Land, effortlessly locating the core of the heavenly formation.
The patterns inside the core, sketched out differently, significantly deviate from the previous ones.
This is a sub-formation of the heavenly formation, and only with the integration of multiple sub-formations can the heavenly formation achieve its complete form.
Jia Ren memorized the corresponding heavenly formation patterns and broke the seal here.
Following that were the third, fourth, and so on.
One after another, twelve Sealed Lands were opened, and the remnants of the seal, gathered in different areas, slowly converged, forming the body of the West Sacred Mother Queen.
Compared to what was seen before, her body and mastered Dao forces nearly returned to completeness, her state optimal.
She was only missing one last piece, crucial for complete restoration, to become the West Sacred Mother Queen who governs the Great Dao of Life.
"Thank you for your help, Taoist friend!"
"Though your assistance for my escape was a transaction, it was immensely important to me. I have some secret vaults, whose state I'm unsure of. Upon escape, I will offer additional thanks."
The West Sacred Mother Queen felt capable of attempting to break the final seal herself, but Jia Ren was busy recording the corresponding formation, showing no intention to interrupt or impede.
"Having promised you, I shall exert all efforts."
Jia Ren did not refuse, hoping for a significant haul of high-quality immortal artifacts from this transaction for a swift ascent to Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm Perfection.
Boom!
The final formation broke, Jia Ren's face showed joy, as the West Sacred Mother Queen's fragmented body returned, fully restored.
Before she could express gratitude, her expression changed dramatically, looking towards the southeast.
Jia Ren felt a peculiar change, his expression subtly shifting.
The bizarre force across the world turned jubilant, deep as an abyss.
The Supreme Law power he wielded seemed to be birthing consciousness, coming alive.
His body could no longer serve as a haven; the Law power was undergoing a bizarre transformation, turning into a Venerable Rank Strange Monster.
The West Sacred Mother Queen no longer had the joy of liberation, sorrowfully smiled, saying: "The second Well of Gods and Demons is ruined!"
