Chapter 881: Chapter 375: First Hearing about Ancient, Spatial Turbulence_2

In the hoary voice, the emotions were complex and melancholic. Han Yi could hardly discern any specific meanings, but at least he gained some understanding of the ‘Ancient’ and the ‘Ancient Illusory Realm’.

He was utterly astounded.

In Xuancang Palace, even though the records from ancient times were incomplete, many ancient books offered fragmented conjectures and speculations about the Ancient Gods, Ancient Evil, Ancient Immortals, and the Mystery of the Shattering of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

However, Han Yi’s understanding of the ‘Ancient’ was virtually nonexistent.

From this aging voice, Han Yi realized he had caught a glimpse of one of the most profound secrets of this world.

‘Ancient World Master? What kind of realm is that? Why did such beings meet their demise?’ Han Yi mused to himself.

Hearing Han Yi’s murmurs, the ancient voice suddenly heightened.

‘He spent his whole life in pursuit of answers to your question.’

‘And yet, finally…’

Having said that, the ancient voice suddenly stopped.

Han Yi quietly waited for a few breaths. No further sound came from the voice. Despite his heart imploring ‘Predecessor’ several times, he received no response.

‘Who on earth is he?’

A sudden thought struck Han Yi, and his pupils sharply contracted.

This sword referred to itself as ‘Taiyuan,’ and he had obtained it from the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond. Considering the numerous deities who had descended upon the pond when he left, and even several Immortal Venerates rushed towards it…

A possibility lay before him, one that he dare not affirm but could not ignore.

The ‘he’ referenced by the grey sword ‘Taiyuan’ could very well be the owner before the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond was destroyed. That exalted figure who, in the history of the Daluo Immortal Realm, held an extremely lofty position…

Yuan Heavenly Emperor?

Taiyuan? Yuan? Yuan Heavenly Emperor?

Yes, perhaps only at the emperor’s level would one possess the ability to pursue the secrets of this time and space, spending their whole life delving into the mystery of the Ancient World Master’s downfall.

In this case, this sword should have an extraordinary status hence its name ‘Taiyuan.’ Han Yi even conjectured – could this sword be the weapon of the Yuan Heavenly Emperor 200,000 years ago?

As for information about the Celestial Emperor, Han Yi could only access the barest scraps. Even immortals, let alone at the immortal level, needed to reach the Profound Immortal level or higher to gain the privilege of stepping into the corresponding floor of the Xuancang Palace to explore the secrets of this level.

All of this was far beyond his current reach.

However.

‘Taiyuan’ had just mentioned that those from later generations who were lucky enough to enter this illusory realm traversing the Ancient Primordial World’s past and future wouldn’t be attacked, neither would they die, and their memories would disappear upon leaving the illusion.

Did this mean he could gain a glimpse of some of the secrets of this space-time continuum?

Immediately, Han Yi shook his head.

He wouldn’t risk his life on such a gamble. Since he would have to lose his memories anyway, why step into this murky water? It would be better to keep away from danger and explore the surrounding spiritual items.

This era was much older than he had imagined. In this era, any spiritual item here, brought back to the Immortal Realm of later generations, would most likely be regarded as a precious treasure.

But before he could continue retreating, he sensed a distant gaze fixed upon him. The gaze was tranquil, but it made his whole body tense and immobile.

Han Yi couldn’t feel any majesty from this gaze, and he didn’t know whether the owner of this gaze was an Ancient Evil, Ancient Immortal, or an Ancient God, but he knew someone had discovered him in this ancient era.

But how could this be possible?

Hadn’t Taiyuan said that this was just an illusion of ancient time and space and had no effect on beings from later generations?

No, wait.

If beings from later generations forget everything once they leave, then no one should be able to record this Ancient Illusory Realm. No one should know that it concerns the far ancient times.

How did Taiyuan know about it?

There must be some key information in here that he didn’t know.

But upon reflecting, Han Yi understood that Taiyuan had no reason to deceive him.

In an instant, he only had time to flash through this thought when he noticed that the distant gaze which had been focused on him was withdrawn.

From beginning to end, he couldn’t discern any emotions conveyed through that gaze.

Immediately thereafter.

He found that a bronze coin appeared out of nowhere in front of him, suspended in space. An ancient bronze glow emanated from the coin and enveloped him. His body became ethereal as the bronze glow shimmered, and then his ethereal body vanished from its original location.

At this moment.

From the location where he disappeared, the view expanded, and then expanded again.

Beyond the vast distance, at the end of the blue stone path, atop the Eternal Unfalling Mountain, a mysterious figure bathed in a radiant glow withdrew its gaze.

This mysterious figure, looking at the primordial beings that flocked from all sides, showed no ripple in his eyes. However, he attached great importance to the slight ‘anomaly’ he had just seen in his heart and began to calculate.

A moment later.

He shook his head.

‘Weird, this creature from the future is so weak, but it carries the fortunes of the ancient and eternal worlds?’

‘No, no, not just these two great worlds.’

‘There’s also a third.’

‘Huh? And a fourth?’

‘No, no, there’s more…’

‘This, this can’t be…’

This mysterious figure, who ceased to remain calm after reckoning the fourth, caused space to vibrate in correlation to the turmoil within.
