Chapter 832 The Whole World Will Turn Upside Down
“Heaven was sick?” The Heavenly Palace people were all surprised. The word ‘sick’ was not something immortals heard often. After all, the basic tenet of an immortal was that it was impossible for them to get sick, so it was even more impossible for Heaven to be sick.
“Do you mean that Heaven went through some unknowable drastic changes?” asked Cultivator Junjun thoughtfully. “Yes.” The Gravekeeper nodded. “Back then, the laws of Heaven suddenly reversed, causing problems in all cultivators’ spiritual cultivation. Wisdom became chaotic, the laws were in retrograde, and the seasons were uncertain. It caused everyone to fall into chaos.”
Everyone wore looks of surprise. It did sound like Heaven was sick.
“What happened after that?” asked Nanan.
“The chaos only lasted for thousands of years and it didn’t cause much damage at first.” The Gravekeeper took a deep breath and continued, “But then, many cultivators who had problems with their spiritual cultivation suddenly discovered a new cultivation method, and…a new power appeared between heaven and earth! This method of cultivation was faster and stronger, and it instantly attracted countless cultivators. However, most of them were cautious and vigilant against this inexplicable force.”
“Because it has something to do with The Unknown?” guessed Yang Jing.
The Gravekeeper nodded. “After a hundred years, everyone has discovered the problem. Those cultivators who practiced the new methods of cultivation became irritable and indifferent. They were ruthless, unscrupulous, and unrestrained in their anger. They would resort to anything, even endless slaughter, in the pursuit of power.”
Dragin frowned. “They sound possessed, just like someone who has been infected by The Unknown. Didn’t anyone try to do anything about it?”
“Of course, measures were taken. The top forces in the Origins Realms immediately joined forces with countless cultivators to suppress this method of cultivation.” The Gravekeeper shook his head. “However, it was too late. At that time, some of the elders of several peak powers had come to a crossroads. In addition, the inexplicable force was already incomparably rich, it even manifested itself in the form of a gray mist that almost blanketed the entire Origins Realm.”
‘Gray mist?’ Everyone from the Heavenly Palace gasped. So that was where the gray mist came from.
“That’s right. The gray mist is The Unknown. The supreme powers from the Origins Realm banded together and tried every means to suppress The Unknown, which led to the current situation,” said the Gravekeeper.
“How did this gray mist come about?” asked Cultivator Junjun.
“There were many conjectures about the gray mist back then, but only two were recognized by the master. The first possibility is that The Unknown was some extremely terrifying taboo that was broken by someone, and it created the evilest cultivation method. The second possibility is that the rules of Heaven descended into chaos, thus, giving birth to this power that can bring about the end of the world,” answered the Gravekeeper.
“I’m guessing you’re more inclined to the second possibility since you said Heaven was sick?” asked Yang Jing.
“How glorious was the master back then. As one of the original supreme powers, he was confident that his power was at its peak, and that no one could create a power stronger than him,” said the Gravekeeper with a proud smile.
“Then, who was the one who wrote the word ‘Fan’?” asked Nanan who was more interested in getting the answer to this question.
“He’s…” The Gravekeeper paused. Then, his expression turned confused. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I only know that the person who left it is very, very important. The master and the other supreme powers have been waiting for his return.”
“Waiting for his return? But all the supreme powers are all gone.”
“No, they’ve always been here!” said the Gravekeeper in a firm tone. “They left behind their powers, waiting for him to return and fight again!”
“Are you referring to the… Origins Pond of Holy Dimensions?” Dragin and Nanan were stunned at the same time as they recalled all that had happened to them in the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension.
They thought of those treasures, spiritual items, and skills that had willingly followed them, and how everything would turn out in their favor. They must have sensed Li Nianfan’s aura on them! At the same time, they thought of their disdainful attitude towards those treasures and they could not help but feel a little guilty.
The Heavenly Palace people were awestruck. Although their physical bodies were no more, their powers still existed so that they would be able to rise up again for battle. Those Origins Pond of Holy Dimension were clearly monuments to those heroes!
The Gravekeeper looked at Nanan and the others with envious brilliance in his eyes and said, “Since you have his aura, you must be in contact with him. You’re destined to have a bright future and reach the pinnacle of Wisdom. It’s up to you all to end the era of The Unknown.”
The Gravekeeper’s phantom was getting fainter and fainter and was about to completely dissipate. With a wave of his hand, the Fallen God Bow and Fallen God Arrow appeared before Nanan and Dragin. “This bow and arrow contain the source of the master’s power. They’re willing to fight side by side with you!”
Dragin stretched out a small hand and grasped them cautiously. “We’ll treasure this bow and arrow as if they’re our own lives.”
“The ancestral land has been opened and The Unknown has reappeared. All heaven and earth will inevitably be overturned. There isn’t much time left…” With the last warning from the Gravekeeper, his phantom gradually faded and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, somewhere else in the Origins Realm, where a large sect was located, there was a huge mausoleum at the back mountain of the sect. Two disciples were guarding the entrance.
“Sigh, our Tianyun Sect was also a top power back then but it has fallen so much. Even the small Beihe Mo family dares to challenge us.”
“Yeah, our Tianyun Sect has existed for countless years, and the Beihe Mo family has only just emerged eight thousand years ago. No wonder the powerful like to cling to their position!”
Suddenly, there was a roar coming from the cemetery behind them. A peculiar aura raged out from it, suffocating them.
“This…this is…” The two disciples looked into the depths of the mausoleum, terrified. “It seems to be coming from the founder’s mausoleum?!”
They thought it was impossible since the founder of the Tianyun Sect had been dead for endless years. Before they could react, their pupils shrank again and their minds went blank when they saw an old man walking out of the mausoleum slowly. His face was haggard and his body was like a dried corpse. Also, he was surrounded by wisps of gray mist.
A voice that was hoarse enough to give people goosebumps came out of his mouth. “Who will wake up from the dream? I’ve returned once again!”
“Fou… Founder?!”
Trembling, the two disciples instantly prostrated on the ground. They were both shocked and delighted. Shocked because their founder had come back from the dead, and delighted because their illustrious founder would be able to bring the Tianyun Sect to its former glory.
After all, it was because of the sudden and inexplicable death of their founder that the status of the Tianyun Sect plummeted. For countless years, every year grew worse than the previous year. They had been reduced to their current sorry state.
“Welcome back, Founder!” they said respectfully.
“Hahaha! As the first disciples to greet me, I’ll give the two of you good fortune!”
The two disciples were overjoyed and quickly said, “Thank you, Founder!”
There was a strange glint in the founder’s eyes, and the gray mist swirling around his body immediately lunged at the two disciples like tentacles.
“Ah! Ah-“
“The two of you will have the good fortune of being my nourishment. Hahaha!”
