Sect Leader's Hall.
Chen Lan sat in the main seat, watching with interest as others were assessed.
Long before sending Luo Tao to the pinnacle, he had come over and taken a seat here.
The Black Dog leisurely returned, saw Chen Lan on the main seat, and said, "You're back."
"Yes." Chen Lan retracted his Divine Sense and nodded.
"Do you know who those murals depict?" Suddenly, the Black Dog pointed to the gods and demons murals on the wall and asked.
Hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly taken aback, looking at those gods and demons.
Isn't this Unmanned Sect a manifestation from the game?
Because of this, he never asked the Black Dog, instinctively thinking those gods and demons did not belong to the old world.
Could it be that the Black Dog of the old world knows who they are?
"Do you know?" Chen Lan asked.
He had also asked Master Qingxuan about these gods and demons murals, but even Master Qingxuan didn't know who they were.
"I do. The one holding the three-pointed, double-edged blade is my master, named Yang Jian, a famed figure in the Celestial Court, known for his Heaven-Reaching Dharma Eye and Unrivaled Magic—the True Monarch Erlang." The Black Dog spoke with a nostalgic look in its eyes.
Chen Lan frowned, staring intently at the mural, ripples stirring in his heart.
That turns out to be the Black Dog's master, and also a member of the Celestial Court, so why are they depicted on the sect's walls?
It's worth noting that the game manifests things from the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm, not the Profound Dust Realm.
Yet these gods and demons are from the Profound Dust Realm; isn't this too bizarre?
"Is he powerful?" Chen Lan asked.
"Very powerful. My master was invincible, unparalleled, and after ten thousand years, he ascended to Immortal Emperor!" When the Black Dog spoke of this, its tone was full of envy but soon shook its head:
"Unfortunately, that era was sealed. No one could surpass the level of Immortal Emperor; the highest one could attain was merely Immortal Emperor."
The Black Dog's tone carried anger, regret, and sorrow; whenever it thought back to the past, these emotions would surface.
If only they could break through Immortal Emperor and reach higher realms, the Celestial Court members could reach even higher realms!
Break those shackles, break that so-called seal, ascend higher!
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan's face grew heavy; he hadn't expected the Blue Star of the previous life to be so troubled—not only was the realm sealed, preventing further advancement, but there was also the challenge of world reincarnation.
However, he heard something even more astonishing from within; the Profound Dust Realm has at least ten thousand years of history, if not more.
And such an incredibly long history disappeared just like that in the River of Time.
World reincarnation—what exactly is it, that it can so disregard life, annihilating an entire world's people with such ease!
"However, there was one who broke through that barrier, shattered that seal, becoming the world's only Celestial Emperor!" The Black Dog's tone shifted, speaking solemnly.
Its eyes turned to that mural, where a monkey holding a fiery red rod, with a monkey face and monkey cheeks, wearing golden chain mail armor was depicted.
Chen Lan noticed and also looked at the monkey, asking, "Who is he?"
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"
For reasons unknown, upon hearing this name, Chen Lan's body shook, and images vaguely appeared in his mind.
There was a figure standing in the sky, battling countless celestial soldiers and celestial generals, holding an Unparalleled Divine Weapon!
His lethal moves swept across the eight wildernesses; no one could rival him!
"Such a pity, he died!" The Black Dog's tone instantly turned heavy and sorrowful.
"Those people would not allow the breakthrough to Celestial Emperor, so when Sun Wukong broke through to Celestial Emperor, he vanished without a trace, obliterated by celestial punishment."
Chen Lan fell silent, not expecting that someone so powerful from the old world would ultimately perish under celestial punishment.
"However, what puzzles me is, if you say these are gods and demons of the old world, then why is this sect newly appeared, and for what reason?"
"It might be that this sect originally belonged to the old world and was merely recreated by those people." The Black Dog replied.
Chen Lan pondered. If that's the case, then other sects might also have these murals; he wondered if they would be the same.
Perhaps later he could take the Black Dog to have a look.
There might be new discoveries.
"Do you know who orchestrated world reincarnation?"
"I don't know." The Black Dog shook its head and continued, "No one knows, and my memory has not fully recovered; I can only remember this much."
"Alright then."
"But I know the star we stand on is not simple."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Chen Lan became interested.
"This star's existence might exceed ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years, having undergone so many world reincarnations without being destroyed, and instead quickly rose to prominence."
"Moreover, we discovered at the time that this star has always hidden secrets, and when these secrets are uncovered, it will reveal its true utility!"
"We tried countless ways and learned that this star was always sealed by a certain power, but in the end, we figured out the solution, which is…"
Before finishing the sentence, the Black Dog showed a pained expression, baring its teeth.
"What's the matter?" Chen Lan frowned and asked.
Why did it stop halfway through the explanation?
"My head hurts, I can't remember that part of my memory, I'm sorry."
Chen Lan remained silent, after a long time, he shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's okay, have a good rest."
He knew it wouldn't be that simple, but he wasn't disappointed; the amount of information he learned today was already vast, and he needed time to digest it.
"Okay, if my memory recovers, I will let you know." The Black Dog said seriously.
"Alright, you rest first, I have things to attend to." Chen Lan stood up, his lips curling slightly.
After speaking, he vanished on the spot.
The Black Dog paid no mind, slowly lay down, and started snoring away.
Only through sleep could its cultivation base quickly recover.
...
Ninja Empire.
Oh no, Huaxia's affiliated state.
Not long ago, the entire island of the Ninja Empire was moved to an area not too far from Huaxia.
This facilitated travel between the two countries.
Even after relocating, the Ninja Empire continued to manifest various items, NPCs, monsters, and buildings.
This time, however, something incredible manifested.
"Serious Punch!" A man draped in a red cape, wearing a yellow bodysuit with a shiny bald head, was brawling with number 2.
Strangely, number 2 slowly fell into a disadvantage against him!
It's important to know that number 2 is a Quasi-Saint, yet a mere ordinary person without any cultivation could not be bested?!
Isn't this too exaggerated?
"You barbaric natives, hand over this world obediently!" The bald man spoke coldly, punching once more.
Bang!
An astonishing scene unfolded: the punch did not strike number 2, but was instead blocked by a transparent Barrier.
A voice drifted through the air lightly at this moment.
"Interesting, an entry-level practitioner of the Path of Power."
