Chapter 688 - 444: Becoming the Heaven-Mending Stone to Repair the Heavens! Ascend to Immortality!
In the Endless Void.
Infinite starlight is being drawn in.
Transforming into a great river, a mighty stream.
Within the Star River, the vague silhouettes of Divine Turtle and Dragon Horse emerge.
Beyond the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
Majestic beings with ethereal auras instantly revive, witnessing this phenomenon.
This is a phenomenon unique to Jiuzhou that can command the entire starry sky around Jiuzhou.
"The true era of great contention... has arrived..."
"Even the River Map and Luo Book have appeared early?"
"How could this be..."
The Jiuzhou Immortals standing within the Starry sky looked at the River Map and Luo Book in disbelief.
According to calculations, the River Map and Luo Book were supposed to appear at least five thousand years later...
"Is it a sign of Jiuzhou’s revival... or is Jiuzhou making a desperate gamble..."
A few Ancient Immortals harbored some concerns in their hearts.
Central State.
Divinity Transformation Cultivators, who could sense the aura, transformed into shining stars soaring into the sky, gazing at the two suddenly appearing Star Rivers.
Zhong Heng looked at the Star River, and his heart started to beat intensely.
As if destiny was being stirred.
The Qi Fortune on him began to fluctuate wildly.
"How could it be... it clearly wasn’t time yet."
Zhong Heng’s eyes were somewhat bloodshot.
Because this signified that the Master of River Map might be about to emerge.
And other cultivators who acquired the River Map Illusion would become the Master’s support.
If the true Master of River Map grew, Zhong Heng’s chance of replacing them would be extremely small.
Besides this
There was another opportunity
And that was to become an Immortal!
Immortals transcend the Five Elements and leap beyond the Three Realms, never again bound by fate.
Naturally, infinite possibilities exist.
"The opportunity for ascension, the opportunity for ascension..."
Zhong Heng was unwilling, his Qi Fortune surged madly.
Eventually touching a certain mark deep in Zhong Heng’s mind.
Zhong Heng suddenly froze.
That was the wisp of Spiritual Mechanism Zhong Heng had previously failed to grasp.
"So that’s it..."
The True Essence within Zhong Heng was almost boiling, and he swiftly tore through space, heading towards the spatial coordinates in his memory.
That was... between the apocalypse.
The Immortals guarding at the Apocalypse Rift were all observing the Star River phenomenon.
Zhong Heng’s sudden appearance interrupted them.
At this moment, all the Immortals looked at Zhong Heng with a hint of surprise.
"This is..."
The aura on Zhong Heng was tremendously intense, mixed with three types of aura nearly overflowing.
"The omen of the opportunity for ascension?"
"The aura of the River Map?"
"And... Emperor Yu!?"
Any one of these auras was enough to be astounding.
Yet on Zhong Heng’s body, all three forces were boiling simultaneously.
Zhong Heng took a deep breath, the blood in his eyes faded.
Gazing at the Apocalypse Rift, the bottleneck of the Sea Calming Seal, studied for thousands of years, began to crumble.
Zhong Heng started to form complex hand seals, and his momentum gradually ascended.
Behind Zhong Heng, the vague silhouette of someone treading a great river and seizing an Evil Dragon appeared.
This phantom even stirred the Five Elements True Immortal from slumber.
The Five Elements True Immortal opened his eyes, his gaze not belonging to himself but reaching to the other end of the River of Time.
Immortal Venerable Huihuang slowly opened his eyes, looking at Zhong Heng with complexity.
He seemed to understand the cause and effect in an instant.
"Have you thought it through?"
Zhong Heng said nothing more.
He merely gazed resolutely at the Apocalypse Rift.
"Carrying the River Map Illusion, if the River Map has not yet emerged, this will be an asset."
"Where there is gain, there is loss. If the River Map emerges, the River Map Illusion becomes the greatest shackle."
"To reap rewards, one must pay the price."
According to the original timeline.
Long after Zhong Heng’s life came to an end, the River Map and Luo Book Illusion might emerge.
However...
"I am unwilling!"
"I am resentful!"
"If I cannot become an Immortal, why bother coming to this mortal world."
Zhong Heng sighed slightly.
Only his eyes became even more determined.
He took a step forward.
"This is my last opportunity."
"Even if I fail, it is a repayment for the nurturing grace of Jiuzhou that birthed me."
The aura on Zhong Heng rose to its highest.
The complex hand seal in his hand instantly transformed countless times.
The phantom of treading the river and seizing the dragon gradually dissipated behind him.
In its place appeared a man in a black robe, looking identical to Zhong Heng.
"Stabilizing the Sea and Mending the Heavens!"
"This is my opportunity for ascension."
"The Heaven Mending Seal concludes at the apocalypse!"
Zhong Heng suddenly radiated with an incomparably brilliant light.
The opportunity for ascension descended.
The Qi Mechanism on Zhong Heng began to transform toward a higher-dimensional life.
In an instant, auspicious clouds appeared over Jiuzhou.
That was the omen before ascension.
Countless cultivators were both joyful and surprised.
Yet they were long delayed in hearing the Dao-chime of a newly ascended Immortal.
Nor did they see any trace of a newly ascended Immortal.
Within the Apocalypse Rift.
The aura on Zhong Heng swelled to the extreme.
The True Essence converted into Immortal Essence, and in an instant, was infused into the Heaven Mending Seal.
In the hands of Zhong Heng, as if a seven-colored light appeared, the Heaven Mending Seal pressed upon the Apocalypse Rift, continuously shrinking it.
Zhong Heng actually had one more method.
That was the Celestial Derivation Divine Techniques.
The Celestial Derivation Divine Techniques could allow Zhong Heng to grasp the Sea Calming Seal at its highest level, forcibly subduing it.
But this divine technique was no longer Emperor Yu’s Sea Calming Seal, but Zhong Heng’s Heaven Mending Seal.
Zhong Heng looked at the Apocalypse Rift, stepping forward.
His aura completely entered the realm of Immortals.
At this moment, he transformed himself into the Seven-Colored Heaven-Mending Stone, resolutely plunging into the Apocalypse Rift.
"I—"
"Zhong Heng!!!!"
Endless pressure bore down on Zhong Heng’s nearly formed Immortal body.
He almost roared out in rage...
"Today, here!"
"Prove the Dao as a True Immortal to mend the rifts of Jiuzhou!"
The sound of the Great Dao reverberated throughout Central State.
