Chapter 1475 - The Welcoming Bell Rings
Chen Pu said, “Uncle, all of this is connected to you.”
“Me?” Su Yi was stunned.
“Reincarnation has appeared, so the Dark and Gold must go into hiding,” said Chen Pu. “Only then can we prevent our most powerful foes from destroying your path of reincarnation.
“Your nephew came here to resolve this latent threat for you.” Chen Pu gestured at the chaos barrier enveloping the Dark and Gold Star Realm. “Those Laws of Chaos can obscure the Dark and Gold Star Realm completely. Even if the bald donkeys of the past, present, and future join forces, they won’t be able to divine any clues.
“Without the barrier, they’d seize dominion over the Dark and Gold Star Realm. They’d undoubtedly be able to discover some of the secrets of reincarnation in the Netherworld. That would let them plot against you on your road ahead, and that would mean grave dangers for you.”
Su Yi’s brow furrowed in confusion. “The Dark and Gold Star Realm has existed for a long, long time, so why hasn’t anything like that happened by now?”
Chen Pu’s gaze shifted subtly. “Uncle, reincarnation was forbidden by the gods long before you first underwent rebirth. The cycle of reincarnation doesn’t exist in the world of men.”
Su Yi finally understood.
Years ago, Venerate Flooding Heavens told him that throughout the history of the Dark and Gold Star Realm, he and he alone had truly mastered reincarnation!
“Uncle, you... really don’t remember?” Chen Pu asked suddenly.
“Remember what?”
Chen Pu said softly, “The chaotic Laws enveloping the Dark and Gold Star Realm... are actually your work. You left them there to prevent these latent threats and make it harder for your enemies to plot against you as you reincarnated to cultivate anew.”
“That really happened?” Su YI asked in a daze.
Chen Pu finally dared say with certainty that his uncle hadn’t reawakened his memories yet, so he explained, “Uncle, don't worry about it. Later, once you’ve transcended the River of Epochs, you’ll understand it all.”
He paused, then said, “From this day forth, the Dark and Gold Star Realm will go deep into hiding, effectively disappearing. But you don’t need to worry about never finding it again. Once you’ve mastered the Blade of Samsara and adjudicated the gods, you’ll be able to sense the chaos Laws and return to the Dark and Gold Star Realm....”
As he spoke, Chen Pu’s figure faded. It was on the verge of falling apart.
“What if I want to enter the Dark and Gold Star Realm now?” said Su Yi.
Chen Pu shook his head. “It’s too late for that.”
He looked at the distant Dark and Gold Star Realm. “That power of the Laws is currently refining the Dark and the Dark and Gold Star Realm. It’ll restrict anyone who tries to enter.
“I stopped those divine henchmen just now, but that was just because I was worried they’d damage the power of the Laws and bring disaster to the Dark and Gold Star Realm. Had they really ventured further in, they would have been restricted too.
“But the life forms of the Dark and Gold Star Realm aren’t affected. They can’t even sense the change.”
“The only difference is that going forward... they won’t be able to leave the Dark and Gold Star Realm.”
Chen Pu was talking faster and faster.
“Uncle, in truth, there’s no need for your nephew to explain. Once you’ve regained your memories, you’ll understand all of this. Due to the restrictions of the Laws and the natural order, the gods cannot enter this world. It’s their dogs you really have to watch out for! Also, the chaos Laws will soon finish refining the Dark and Gold Star Realm. Before that happens, please.... Fuck, there’s no time!”
Finally, Chen Pu’s avatar of will couldn’t take it anymore. It disappeared into a rain of light.
That old-fashioned tripod cauldron whooshed forth, gathered the rain of light, then shot off into space.
From beginning to end, there was no time for Su Yi to say anything. He could only watch as that old-fashioned little tripod left with Chen Pu's “remains.”
But at least Su Yi now had a rough understanding of the situation.
“'Reincarnation has appeared, so the Dark and Gold must go into hiding,'” thought Su Yi. “No wonder this didn’t happen when I first left for the stars.”
Ultimately, all of this was connected to his grasp of reincarnation. It was connected to one of his past lives, too.
Everything that Chen Pu person said proved that point.
“This is good too. Lingxue, Cha Jin, and the others will be able to continue their cultivation without fear of me implicating them.” Su Yi inwardly relaxed.
He’d returned to resolve this latent threat. He was worried external foes would target his loved ones in the Dark and Gold Star Realm.
Now, the Dark and Gold Star Realm had fully gone into hiding, freeing Su Yi from worry, just as Chen Pu had said!
Whoosh!
Su Yi walked up to the chaos barrier enshrouding the Dark and Gold Star Realm, then turned to face the cultivators gathered in the distance.
“All of you should leave,” said Su Yi.
He didn’t threaten them. He just sat cross-legged and started cultivating.
The distant cultivators looked at each other, but in the end, all of them chose to leave. Who could fail to realize that they had no hope of entering the Dark and Gold Star Realm?
Never mind that the Temple Master was watching over it. Even without him, their strength was nowhere near enough to break past that chaos barrier.
Before long, the surrounding space was quiet and empty. Throughout this boundless stretch of stars, there was just Su Yi, seated cross-legged and entirely unmoving.
Three days later, the chaos barrier rumbled and boomed as if fully refined the Dark and Gold Star Realm. Su Yi rose and watched the chaos barrier rapidly shrink. Within just a few breaths of time, it was the size of a fist. Then, under his gaze, the chaos Laws condensed into a strange, sword-shaped talisman.
Su Yi’s heart shook. For some reason, it seemed somehow familiar. But when he tried to sense it in further detail, he learned nothing at all.
A moment later, the sword-shaped talisman disappeared.
The entire stretch of stars was completely empty. There was no longer any trace of the Dark and Gold Star Realm.
Su Yi stood there alone, familiar faces flitting through his mind. Wen Lingxue, Cha Jin, Ning Sihua, A’Cang...
“I’ll come back to find you,” Su Yi whispered.
He sank into a brief silence, then turned to leave.
......
Half a month later, Su Yi and Qing Tang returned to Universal Emptiness Temple.
“Bro, have a look at all these treasures!” The Antique Dealer rushed up delightedy and passed Su Yi an immortal-grade bag of holding.
When Su Yi opened it up, he saw a veritable mountain of treasure inside!
Rather, there were several mountains. Divine materials, pills, magic treasures and such were all divided into glittering piles flowing with treasure light. It was a sight to behold
Su Yi couldn’t help but be stunned. That wasn’t just an enormous quantity of treasure. No, all of them were rare and precious!
Eighty percent were Transcendent-level treasures. Only about twenty percent were at the immortal level, but still, their value was inestimable!
“I wouldn’t have thought those ancient factions would be so rich,” the Antique Dealer said with delight.
Before long, Su Yi learned that over the past half month, after the ancient factions lowered their heads, they obediently offered up their treasuries and vowed submission to Su Yi!
The bag of holding the Antique Dealer gave Su Yi contained all of their offerings.
“They really went all out,” said Su Yi.
The Antique Dealer smiled. “Treasures are ultimately external items. A golden age is imminent, but they cannot continue their cultivation without first breaking their curses. Anyone with a functioning brain would know what they ought to do.”
Su Yi nodded. That was indeed the case. The Path of Transcendence had re-entered the world, and the Laws of the Immortal Dao were recovering. It wouldn’t be long before even the long-vanished Domain Boundary Battlefield reappeared.
To the world’s cultivators, this was indeed a golden age!
And the revenants were thus desperate to break their curses as soon as possible. No matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to submit and ask for his aid.
Su Yi selected the treasures he needed from the bag of holding, then returned the rest to the Antique Dealer. “Divide these among the others.”
......
From that day forth, Su Yi completely relaxed. When he wasn’t cultivating in seclusion, he was drinking or discussing the Dao with his friends.
During this time, experts of the ancient factions that had submitted to him visited and received his help breaking their curses.
But he did nothing else.
In stark contrast, the wind and clouds were rising outside. A golden age was imminent. This was a rare opportunity for any cultivator, a chance to prove their Daos.
Especially for those World Kings long trapped in the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm. This was their chance to step onto the Path of Transcendence!
There were even a few particularly powerful experts whose latent potential burst forth after stepping onto the Path of Transcendence. They’d advanced rapidly, going from Nascent Divinity to Dao Integration already!
The world was changing, and this had a deep impact on the star realms’ balance of power.
But none of this had anything to do with Su Yi.
In truth, even if the world’s changes had given rise to endless Transcendents, none of them would have dared make trouble for Su Yi.
Out amongst the stars, Su Yi was a sovereign-like existence. He’d slain immortals in the Human Realm, and he’d even killed divine emissaries. Who’d dare provoke someone as terrifying as that?
A month later.
Su Yi’s cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Manifesting Mortality Realm. One more step, and he’d break into Manifesting Truth!
But Su Yi wasn’t in a rush to break through.
He planned to enter the Domain Boundary Battlefield and acquire good fortune only Nascent Divinity Transcendents were qualified to compete for, then break through!
In the time that followed, Su Yi focused on tempering his Laws of the Grand Dao and the Sword of the Human Realm.
Time slipped by. Soon, another month had passed.
Late that night, while Su Yi was in seclusion tempering his Laws of the Grand Dao, a sudden ringing disrupted his focus.
It was like the sound of the Dao emanating from beyond the night heavens, reverberating throughout his surroundings!
Daoist Master Red Cloud’s voice emanated from beyond the door to his room. “After tens of thousands of years, the Welcoming Bell has rung once more. That means that the Domain Boundary Battlefield will re-enter this world tonight!”
