History's Number 1 Founder Chapter 1073 Bringing About a Contrasting Effec

Lin Feng and Gu Jun looked at Yan Nanlai, as well as Wu Mengqi beside him.

Yan Nanlai also turned his head to look at Wu Mengqi and slightly nodded his head. Wu Mengqi opened his mouth and said, “In the Netherworld Sea, there may be some smaller worlds.”

“This explains things.” Gu Jun nodded his head before saying, “However, the formation of these smaller worlds must have only been possible because of some external force. These worlds couldn’t have been formed on their own.”

Lin Feng looked at Wu Mengqi, “Comrade Wu, can you enter these worlds?”

Wu Mengqi was silent for a moment before answering, “I can’t, I can only feel their presence.”

Yan Nanlai said from one side, “The spatial boundaries of the Netherworld Sea are not so messed up like the Void Sea. But the conditions within are more complex. It’s much harder to explore the place.”

Lin Feng and Gu Jun understood what he meant. Regarding the Netherworld Sea, they did have some understanding too.

“The understanding of the Great Void Sect towards the Netherworld Sea seems to be lagging behind the Emperor of the Dead.” Lin Feng and Xiao Yan looked at each other. “During the Antiquity Age, they might have the intention of finding out the whereabouts of Wen Chiyang. But they went about it wrongly. They didn’t focus on the Netherworld Sea.”

“Right now, their understanding of the Netherworld Sea is likely to have come from Wen Chiyang’s work after the War of the Two Worlds.”

Gu Jun was pondering before his gaze flashed. He lifted his head to look at Lin Feng and Yan Nanlai, “Please forgive me but something has cropped up. I need to settle it first. Regarding the matter of the Emperor of the Dead, we shall discuss further tomorrow. What do the both of you think”

Lin Feng and Yan Nanlai nodded their heads, “It’s fine, Comrade Gu. Please excuse yourself.”

After this, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void were led back to their resting quarters by Gu Cheng and Gu Yuankai respectively. And after they left, Gu Jun’s gaze turned serious. He disappeared from the pavilion and only re-appeared at a smaller pavilion, where Gu Peng was waiting for him.

“There’s a weird movement by the Catastrophic Broken Rock?” Gu Jun said in a deep voice. Gu Peng nodded his head, “Yes, it’s for a short period of time, but the movement was an intense jerking one. It feels…like something has changed in the Netherworld Sea.”

Gu Jun came to the place where the Catastrophic Broken Rock was kept. Over there, a broken rock floated in mid-space, surrounded by mana that sealed it up. The rock flashed with red light, making one feel as if disaster was approaching.

Without staring at the broken rock, Gu Jun lifted his head up to the pavilion and was deep in thought. After a long while, he said, “Let Zhener bring that kid over.”

Gu Peng asked, “What about Lin Feng…”

Gu Jun said, “We don’t have to hide it from him. Even if Master Lin knows, he’s unlikely to come over.”

After receiving the invitation, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and smiled, “You can follow Zhener over. I won’t be going.”

“Yes, Master.” After Xiao Yan pondered for a while, he nodded his head and bade goodbye to Lin Feng along with Xiao Zhener. After that, he left the room.

Lin Feng used his finger to tap his seat and thought, “There are smaller worlds formed in the Netherworld Sea, and they are not just one. Are all of them under the control of the Emperor of the Dead and Nether Priest, or is it only a portion of them?”

Xiao Yan followed Xiao Zhener to the place where the Catastrophic Broken Rock was kept. Gu Peng and Gu Jun waited there for them. As Xiao Yan looked at the broken rock in mid-space, he squinted his eyes.

After meeting Gu Jun and Gu Peng, Xiao Yan came before the sealed space and Gu Jun said, “The seal will not be removed. You have to step in yourself.”

Xiao Yan nodded his head. He stepped in. As he stepped in, Xiao Yan’s body turned rigid and he stared at the Catastrophic Broken Rock. His eyes never shifted from then on.

And the red light shot out from the Catastrophic Broken Rock consolidated to form the word ‘Catastrophe’ in void space. It was a petrifying scene, as if a real catastrophe had just happened.

Xiao Yan stared at the Catastrophic Broken rock and a streak of flowing light flashed in his eyes. He extended his palm and the Nefarious Almighty Sword landed in his hand.

The huge sword opened with a blood-red crack. The crack was like an awakening giant opening his eyes. As the eyes of the giant opened, countless disasters appeared and were about to spew out from the crack.

But Xiao Yan did not lose his focus. He used his own powers to control the expanding Netherworld Sea crack on the sword. He even managed to stabilize it, preventing the ferocious, disastrous forces from shooting out.

However, the crack resonated with the Catastrophic Broken Rock. As both parties resonated with each other, they jerked.

Xiao Yan revealed his Immortal Soul Avatar, converting into a huge Taiji Diagram formed from different types of flames.

As the Taiji Diagram spun, streaks and streaks of red light surged out, converting into a beam of crimson-red light. Just like the aura of the Catastrophic Broken Rock, it was filled with an ominous aura.

Whereas the aura of the rock started to become less and less threatening and became peaceful. The red light that revealed the word ‘Catastrophe’ also disappeared.

After a long while, the Flaming Taiji Diagram that Xiao Yan revealed regained its human form. Xiao Yan closed his eyes and remained calm. He sat cross-legged in front of the Catastrophic Broken Rock, forming a weird print with his palms.

As Gu Peng saw this, he creased his brows and looked at Gu Jun, “Brother, this print is very weird. I can’t see where it originates from. It doesn’t seem to be related to any manual of any lineage.”

“It doesn’t seem to come from the Celestial Sect of Wonders either. But the mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are very mysterious, thus I can’t confirm.”

Gu Jun said, “From what I know, it’s different though.”

He paused for a while before saying, “The mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are indeed mysterious and unpredictable.”

As Gu Jun spoke, he turned his attention to Gu Peng and Xiao Zhener, “When I spoke with Yan Nanlai yesterday, he mentioned something. The mantras of Lin Feng are formed from the combination of the human cultivation manuals and demon cultivation manuals.”

Gu Peng and Xiao Zhener were shocked, “How is that possible? Even for Buddhist mantras, the demons can cultivate them but they can’t infuse them within their own mantras.”

“In terms of this, I don’t think Yan Nanlai is lying.” Gu Jun looked at Xiao Yan and said.

If he tried to lie in this matter, it would only reveal himself to have a flawed character and a lowly intelligence. At the same time, he would be insulting the intelligence of Gu Jun too.

Gu Peng mumbled, “What does Lin Feng want? He wants to become the common ruler of the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses? I don’t know whether he’s crazy or ambitious…”

Gu Jun shook his head, “I don’t think so.”

Gu Peng and Xiao Zhener looked at him curiously. Gu Jun pondered and said, “Lin Feng is a very ambitious person, undoubtedly. But from the way he does things, he’s not crazy. At times, he acts according to his will but at most times, he plans before he acts.”

“With regards to his methods, I am roughly aware of them. But it’s just that I can’t see past them clearly.”

He regained his awareness and turned to look at Xiao Zhener. He laughed, “Zhener, don’t be worried. This won’t affect your relationship with Xiao Yan. On the contrary, while knowing this increases my doubts, this actually makes me more impressed with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.”

Gu Peng and Xiao Zhener were a little surprised as they heard this. Xiao Zhener looked at her own father, “Father?”

Gu Jun waved her off, “Let’s see. It’s still too early to tell.”

Among the elders of the Ancient Longevity World, most of them were more inclined towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Gu Peng and Gu Cheng were the same. As they heard Gu Jun, they shook their head in laughter, “I’m afraid that Master Yan doesn’t know that his words has brought about a contrasting effect.”

Gu Jun said, “He might have expected it. It’s just that he doesn’t know, thus he’s just trying.”

“With regards to this matter, from different perspectives, the result will be different. People with different styles may have different opinion dealing with this problem.”

As he said till here, Gu Jun did not say anything much more. He turned his attention to Xiao Yan. Gu Peng and Xiao Zhener did not continue speaking either, as they watched Xiao Yan.

Only after a long while did Xiao Yan open his eyes slowly. His eyes flashed with red light. After that, he stood up and exited the sealed space. He came before Xiao Zhener and the others, before greeting Gu Jun, “Thank you, Elder Gu.”

Gu Jun smiled as he shook his head, “I have been figuring out this rock for some time, but I have gained nothing thus far. Seeing that you can resonate with it, I knew that the life of this rock must be related to you. While Wu Mengqi can open a crack in the Netherworld Sea, this rock is useless in his hands.”

He looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly. After that, his eyes re-appeared with red light again. In the red light, a huge number of talismanic words appeared. They were ancient yet miraculous at the same time.

The red light flashed before disappearing, but Gu Jun was already awed, “The images of the world. This is indeed a magical scene.”

Xiao Yan said regretfully, “It’s a pity that we can’t determine the location of the Netherworld Sea in the short-term. And the War of the Two Worlds may break out anytime. If we can’t get rid of the Emperor of the Dead soon, he will always be a potential troublemaker during the War of the Two Worlds.”

Gu Jun said, “It’s important to plan slowly in this matter. But you have made huge progress compared to when before you came here.”

As the bunch of them exited the place, Xiao Yan went back to the resting quarters of the Celestial Sect of Wonders under the accompaniment of Xiao Zhener. As they were walking back, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener felt something. They turned to look at the other side.

“That is the direction of the Xuanling Pavilion, where the junior disciples of our sect practise their pill cultivation skills.” Xiao Zhener glanced before shaking her head, “It must be that rascal dragging Tian Cang to compete again after being a sore loser the other time. It’s just that…”

Xiao Yan smiled, “It’s just that there are disciples of the Great Void Sect too. Interesting, interesting, Zhener, let’s go and take a look.”
