Chapter 1106 Gathering
Spring goes and autumn comes. Chaos itself has no seasons, but as the auras of the five major forces intertwine and collide in the void, it subtly creates the illusion of the passage of time. Sometimes there is a gentle breeze like a spring breeze, carrying the vitality of sprouting plants; other times there is a biting chill like autumn frost, bringing the desolation of withering.
A year is but a fleeting moment in the long, almost immortal lifespan of a Golden Immortal, yet it is enough for the five forces to cross the void barrier of billions of eons and steadily approach the coordinates of the Three Yang Immortal Tomb.
At this moment, the chaotic void two hundred and eighty billion cosmic years away from the Three Yang Immortal Tomb has become the focal point for the convergence of forces.
The Yin-Yang Lotus Platform floats in the center, with black and white energies flowing and intertwining like living things, stirring the surrounding chaos into a slowly rotating Tai Chi pattern. The eyes of the Yin-Yang fish shimmer with a discerning light that seems to see through all pretense.
To its southeast, thunder chariots roared, and nine thunder dragons formed from purple lightning raised their heads and roared. Lightning crackled on their scales, and with each breath, trillions of purple lightning bolts spewed out, weaving a flickering net of lightning in the void. Between the meshes of the net flowed the Daoist rhyme of annihilation, which would collapse upon contact.
In the northwest, the Ice Soul Immortal Ship is crystal clear, as if it were carved from millions of years of mysterious ice. The ice patterns on the ship's hull flow and move like living things, freezing out a frozen domain with a diameter of millions of light-years. Even the light passing through this place is refracted into a cold, knife-like arc, as if to freeze time and space into eternity.
To the southwest, the Blood River warship was enveloped in layers of surging blood mist. Countless vengeful spirits howled and struggled within the mist, stretching out their pale claws, echoing the ferocious blood beast phantom on the warship's totem, radiating a chillingly bloodthirsty ferocity that even stained the chaotic air currents crimson.
In the northeast, the vines of the Azure Wood Immortal Boat spread out like a canopy, and various fairy flowers bloomed and blossomed. Dewdrops full of vitality dripped from the petals, and the rich vitality spread like a tidal wave, forming a wonderful balance with the killing energy from the other four directions. It seemed to be performing the great principle of "life and death are interdependent", and life is endless.
The five forces confronted each other in a five-pointed star formation. Before they could exchange a single word, the powerful divine senses of the fifth-grade Golden Immortals were already colliding fiercely and communicating silently in the void.
Ancestor Xuan Yin's divine sense, imbued with Yin and Yang energies, sometimes transformed into an indestructible Taiji diagram for defense, blocking all probing attacks from all sides; at other times, it transformed into an incomparably sharp Yin-Yang blade to probe, its flashing light concealing deadly intent, its advances and retreats revealing the unpredictable changes of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.
The Purple Cloud Palace Master's divine sense, carrying raging purple lightning, pierced the void like thousands of lightning needles tempered with the law of destruction. Each needle tip carried the resolute intent to tear everything apart, and the void crackled wherever it passed.
The Frost Fairy's divine sense was icy cold, freezing even the void itself in its wake, creating layers of frost. However, when it touched the life force of the Azure Wood Immortal Boat, it was quietly melted by the wisps of green, forming a brief standoff between ice and green, with one waxing and the other waning.
The divine sense of the Blood Origin Immortal Clan's ancestor, Blood Slaughter Ancestor, was as domineering as a blood python, with its gaping maw filled with greed and ferocity, devouring everything. When it collided with the divine senses of the other four directions, it made a "sizzling" friction sound, as if it wanted to devour the divine senses of the other party and turn them into its own nourishment.
The divine thoughts of the Divine Tree Ancestor transformed into thousands of supple vines, seemingly gentle and without sharp edges, yet incredibly resilient. Like the most intricate net, they dissolved the sharpness of divine consciousness from all sides, revealing the ancient wisdom of "overcoming strength with softness," dense yet tenacious.
Though the clash of divine senses lacked the roar of swords and spears, it was far more dangerous than any actual battle. Each fluctuation of divine thought contained the profound understanding of the Great Dao accumulated over millions of cosmic eras. It served both as a test to probe each other's strengths and weaknesses and to ascertain each other's secrets, and as a silent deterrent—neither side wanted to be at a disadvantage or lose face at the very beginning of the meeting.
......
After tea time.
As if by prior agreement, the five divine senses simultaneously receded, and the void returned to a brief period of calm. Ancestor Xuan Yin slowly opened his eyes, the black and white twin fish phantoms within them slowly rotating. His voice, though not loud, carried clearly in all directions, imbued with an undeniable majesty: "It seems you all understand the stakes. Until that mastermind is eliminated, none of us can rest easy. Let us set aside our differences for now and join forces against the enemy. If any unforeseen circumstances arise, let three claps of thunder serve as a signal to jointly defend against the external foe."
The Palace Master of Zixiao Palace snorted coldly, a flash of lightning disappearing from his fingertip, producing a faint crackling sound. His tone was firm and unquestionable: "Fine, but let me make this clear: if anyone tries to take advantage of this to scheme against my Zixiao Palace, don't blame me for being blind with my Zixiao Divine Thunder!"
As he spoke, the lightning around the Palace Master of Zixiao Palace pulsed more and more violently, carrying a strong sense of warning.
Fairy Xuan Shuang nodded slightly, her voice as cold as the clash of ancient ice, carrying a chilling aura: "I have no objection, but if anyone harbors ulterior motives and dares to trip us up behind our backs..." The cold aura around her suddenly surged, and the ice patterns on the Ice Soul Immortal Boat instantly lit up like stars, and the frozen domain expanded outwards several degrees, "In this chaos, there will be another frozen graveyard."
The Blood Slaughter Ancestor licked his lips, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips. The blood mist on the Blood River Warship surged even more violently with his movements, almost solidifying. His bloodthirsty eyes were filled with undisguised heat and greed: "We can join forces to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes, but one thing must be made clear: after we take down the mastermind, if there are any good spoils, my Blood Origin Immortal Clan will not be polite in the slightest."
The Divine Tree Ancestor stroked his snow-white beard, a gentle yet shrewd smile on his face, like an old man who had seen through the ways of the world: "That's natural, everyone will rely on their own methods when the time comes."
......
Soon, the confrontation between the five fifth-grade Golden Immortals gradually dissipated, and instead condensed into an even more magnificent aura, like five streams flowing into a river, rushing and roaring, surging in the same direction with unstoppable momentum.
"Then let's continue on our way!"
As soon as Ancestor Xuan Yin finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Lotus Platform moved first. The black and white energies carried the lotus platform forward slowly, like a compass guiding the way, stable and firm. The Thunder Chariot followed closely behind, with nine thunder dragons roaring in unison, their roars resounding through the chaos and tearing apart the chaotic obstacles in front of them. The Ice Soul Immortal Boat and the Blood River Warship went to the two sides, forming a triangular formation, echoing each other. The Azure Wood Immortal Boat brought up the rear, its vines spreading out to clear away the chaotic turbulence behind them, leaving no trace.
The five forces advanced side by side, their momentum overwhelming, making no attempt to conceal their presence. The shifting Yin and Yang energies, the roaring of annihilating purple lightning, the chilling cold of the icy domain, the ferocity of the bloodthirsty mist, and the gentle warmth of vibrant life—these five extraordinary phenomena intertwined and collided in the chaos, forming a torrent spanning billions of years. Wherever it passed, the chaotic energy was crushed into dust, transforming into the finest particles. Even the chaotic beasts lurking in the shadows were terrified and fled far away, cowering in their lairs, trembling, not daring to approach for fear of being crushed by this terrifying aura.
