Ascending from the first to the second level of the Supre Jade Steps appeared to be just a one-level difference, but in reality, it had made Lu Xuan more than several tis stronger.
His Spiritual Radiance was more turbulent, and his physical body was stronger after being reinforced by his True Spirit. And that was not even counting how his physical form and soul had been baptized by that wisp of Innate Primordial Ancestral Qi.
At this mont, in terms of speed alone, Lu Xuan was already no slower than an ordinary High-ranking Celestial Human. He suspected that in a direct confrontation, even without using diation of Creation or his Supre Treasures, he could likely slay a Celestial Human who had just stepped onto the Sixth Heaven Divine Ladder.
The Cultivation Techniques of the Taishang Lineage hadn’t revealed any particular marvels at the Jade Tower stage. But now, at the level of the Supre Celestial Human Chapter, they had already created a terrifyingly vast gap between him and ordinary beings...
’The only thing is, I don’t know what Master ant when he said the Supre Celestial Human Chapter allows one to comprehend and use "Principles" ahead of ti.’
’At least, there’s no sign of it for now.’
Accompanied by True Immortal Qing Ping and Earth Immortal Qing He, Lu Xuan reached the edge of the mountain range from its very center in just half an hour.
By now, the outline of Gouxian Town was already visible.
It was still just as small as ever. From a distance, nothing seed amiss, though one might feel a sense of dissonance, as if it were completely detached from the present era...
Lu Xuan stopped in his tracks.
"What’s wrong?" Qing He Daoist asked, glancing over in confusion. He saw the young man beside him—a little ancestor in the truest sense—staring fixedly at the towering mountain next to the town.
"Lu Xuan?" he asked again. Earlier on their journey, Lu Xuan had instructed them to simply call him by his na instead of Lu Ancestor. After all, the title "Lu Ancestor" would sound a bit odd once they entered a modern city...
But the young man still didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on the towering green mountain.
To be precise, it was what appeared to be a towering green mountain to ordinary people, and even to True Immortal Qing Ping.
But what Lu Xuan saw—this ten-thousand-ter-tall green mountain before him—was unmistakably a ten-thousand-ter-tall, decaying, and dilapidated Stone Stele!!
Engraved upon the Stone Stele were five enormous words, each one radiating a completely different and profound aning!
"Must Forever Seal This Place."
The five words, saturated with Dao Rhy, slamd into Lu Xuan’s mind, Soul, and even his True Spirit, leaving him stunned and disoriented.
These five words shared a similar wonder with the writing on the Master’s Token from his Three Masters. They appeared to be re words, but they concealed sothing far more profound—supre marvels and ultimate principles seed to ebb and flow within them!
In the first word, "Must," he could see a spectral landscape, a vision of a desolate realm. Staring closely, he could almost see the surging Yellow Springs with thousands upon thousands of ghosts wailing, and the abyss of the Nine Nether, with its vast, layered Underworld!
In the second word, "Forever," Lu Xuan, in a daze, saw a surging life force, the radiance of infinite longevity. He saw flourishing, prosperity, the ultimate ’glory’!
The word "Seal" was filled with the clash of arms and armored steeds, of countless armies taking up their weapons, of the world engulfed in chaotic war. Flas of battle raged, mountains and rivers collapsed, empires were overthrown, and blood flowed for tens of thousands of miles.
The word "This" was wreathed in an aura similar to "Seal" and "Must," but only similar. To be precise, it was a more extre, purer form of slaughter. It was a Heaven-Reaching killing intent. It was the killing intent of the heavens, setting the stars to shift; the killing intent of the earth, causing dragons and snakes to rise from the ground!
The final word, "Place," was what struck Lu Xuan’s Divine Soul the most. rely looking at it made his soul feel as if it were freezing. The Dao Rhy it contained was perhaps only half a step weaker than that of his Three Masters’ Master’s Token, and that was all.
Within this single word, a grand scene of light and darkness unfolded: the light was a brilliant Buddhist radiance of rcy and purity, while the darkness was a vast demonic aura of savagery and violence!
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but take a step back.
He closed his eyes, standing still for a long mont under the astonished gazes of Qing He and Qing Ping. When he opened them again, Lu Xuan seed to have realized sothing. He deliberately dispersed the Innate Qi within his True Spirit and Soul that corresponded to his left eye.
After dispersing it and opening his eye again, the scene his left eye saw had changed back into the towering green mountain from before.
One of his eyes reflected the ghostly Stone Stele, with its five distinct and terrifying words. His other eye reflected the lush green mountain, teeming with beasts and birds, a picture of tranquil years.
As these two starkly contrasting scenes appeared in his eyes simultaneously, his heart trembled violently once more.
After a long mont, Qing Ping Daoist’s worried voice pulled him from his stupor. "Xiaoxuan?"
Lu Xuan waved a hand and took a deep breath. He held nothing back, recounting everything he had seen.
Qing He and Qing Ping exchanged a look of utter shock. ’A ten-thousand-ter Stone Stele... five different words... "Must Forever Seal This Place"...’
Subconsciously, Lu Xuan’s gaze shifted to Gouxian Town, which stood beside what was half green mountain and half Stone Stele. A grave expression filled his eyes as he muttered to himself,
"Gouxian Town... It seems it’s not so simple after all..."
His Innate Qi once again enveloped his entire True Spirit and Divine Soul. Forcing himself to look away from the imnse Stone Stele and the five great words that pierced one’s very True Spirit, he said softly,
"Let’s enter the town and take a look first. ’Must Forever Seal This Place’... Beneath the mountain, beneath the stele, I suspect sothing is being sealed."
The three continued toward Gouxian Town, but all of them instinctively slowed their pace. Qing He Daoist spoke, his expression solemn,
"It seems Senior Brother knew of the anomaly here long ago..."
Beside him, Qing Ping Daoist said softly,
"’Must Forever Seal This Place’... One word for the Nine Nether and Yellow Springs, one for vibrant life, one for the chaos of war, one for absolute slaughter, and the last for the image of Buddha and Demon standing together?"
