What is an immortal?

Chapter 1099 - 1061: Finale (Part 3)

Dian Xiaosan believed that following Yuan Ming to a higher realm would surely allow him to witness more Immortal Spiritual Treasures. By then, studying and comprehending them would assuredly help him progress in the cultivation of Artifact Refining.

The Soul Destroying Sword's Artifact Spirit didn't mind as long as it could be well-fed by following Yuan Ming; it didn't matter where it went.

Several days later, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying quietly left Wanxian City and entered the Wentian Secret Realm for the last time.

Outsiders were unaware of their departure, and even hundreds and thousands of years later, people still believed that the two were hidden somewhere in the Chuyun Realm, forever guarding the peace of this domain.

...

Wentian Secret Realm, Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace.

The miscellaneous items in the Underground Palace were long cleared out, and Yuan Ming and Xi Ying were busy engraving Array Patterns.

Using some information left behind by the Hui Clan, they repaired and perfected the Great Array, and at the perimeter of the array, they engraved five small-scale Arrays to record transmission coordinates.

These transmission coordinates were five unique, ancient runes, entirely distinct from the characters of the Chuyun Realm and different from any pattern. However, the aura emanating from them was familiar to Yuan Ming and Xi Ying.

It was the aura of the Dao Seal.

Yuan Ming meticulously engraved each of the five coordinate marks, then placed top-grade spiritual stones at each Array Eye of the Great Array before summoning the Shura Palace to hover above the array.

"To really leave now, and unexpectedly, there's a bit of reluctance. This journey may make it difficult to return." Xi Ying, holding the chubby Guoguo in her arms, glanced around and suddenly said with some sadness.

"Such emotion is unusually unlike you." Yuan Ming grinned, gently wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Indeed." Xi Ying chuckled.

"Let's go; on this long journey, as Immortals, should we merely ascend to heights afar or stay confined to eternal life?"

As Yuan Ming's voice echoed, silver light emerged from the Shura Palace, sending rippling space undulations outward.

Enormous tree roots extended downward from beneath the palace, piercing into each Array Core of the Great Array below, with the mighty Power of Ten Thousand Wood Origin surging forth, radiating blinding light from the array.

"Rumble"

A straight silver light beam shot skyward, striking the dome of the Heavenly Palace above and instantly tearing open a vast, massive space rift, revealing an endless expanse of dark Void.

Yuan Ming and Xi Ying were already back inside the Shura Palace and could also see the vast expanse of the cosmic phenomenon.

At that moment, the Stealing Heaven Tripod held in Yuan Ming's hands suddenly illuminated, and a voice from Void timely sounded: "Yuan Ming, light an incense stick."

"Light incense?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.

"Burn incense to guide the way, follow the scent, it said." Void's voice came again.

Yuan Ming immediately realized that this was instructed by the gray statue.

Without hesitation, he rubbed his fingers together, ignited a stick of Black Incense, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The Black Incense in the burner emitted a flame, and a wisp of blue smoke rose steadily, surprisingly remaining intact, flying out of the Shura Palace, entering the silver light pillar, and extending into the boundless Void.

Within the Void, it seemed as though a line formed by smoke extended into the darkness beyond.

At this point, the five coordinate marks around the array brightened one after another, and the array erupted with a dazzling silver light, instantly swallowing the Shura Palace.

The light flickered for three breaths and then vanished without a trace.

Within the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace, the Shura Palace was no longer seen, soon plunging into silence and darkness.
