Immortal Road.

Chapter 335: Tracing the source and erasing, the cloud rises and the dragon rises

Lin Shan's consciousness was still as a third-person observer, viewing the whole thing as if he were watching a slide show.

It was not until I saw myself in the timeline leaving the Lin Mansion that the giant hand appeared in the sky and was slowly covering me from a distance.

It didn't seem particularly big from a distance, but when we got closer we realized that if it really fell, not only the Lin Mansion, but the entire Qinghe County City would be razed to the ground!

Lin Shan was startled and subconsciously wanted to remind the people in the Lin Mansion to escape quickly, but when he opened his mouth he found that he was just a sleepwalking bystander and could do nothing.

Although the huge hand was falling slowly and steadily, the people of Qinghe County all turned a blind eye to it. Each of them was busy with their own things. The streets were crowded with people coming and going, as if they were blind and could not see it at all.

At this moment, at the other end of the distant void.

There was a slight flash of golden light, and then the giant palm suddenly paused in mid-air. A circle of golden coating quietly covered the palm and back of the hand, and finally "bang" exploded into a sky full of light points, and a crisis was eliminated invisibly.

Outside the sky, a fierce battle is taking place.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shan in his dream could barely see the general figures of the two warring parties.

One of them had his back to him and looked very old. His vague image was not quite real, and it seemed as if he was deliberately concealing something.

The other one was the one who had just tried to stop him. He was wearing silver armor and holding a golden spear. On his shoulder was a divine beast, Bifang, which kept spitting out molten flames. He was fighting with the old man opposite in the air.

Lin Shan watched the two people fighting from afar, but found that he could not understand it at all. It was obvious that the two people's realm was far beyond his own. Many magical powers and Taoist methods were at their fingertips, and they changed according to their hearts, laying out a huge Taoist domain in the void outside the sky.

Under one side, golden light was shining on the ground, and golden square bricks were laid to the extreme depth, extending to the west with no end.

The other half of the ink painting of mountains and rivers unfolds, with a series of waterfall arch bridges built to the east, creating a fairyland on earth in the blink of an eye.

The golden light and the black and white were on each side, going back and forth against each other.

The confrontation between the two seems to have risen to the level of "Tao", which is not mysterious but extremely dangerous.

Looking from the ground, all you can see are bizarre stripes of the road, intricately intertwined, layer upon layer, like raindrops falling quietly, moistening everything silently.

Logically speaking, such a huge battle scene in outer space should have caused a sensation in this world a long time ago, but no one looked up and noticed it, as if these two people did not belong here and could not appear in the world at all.

There wasn't even a sound of fighting.

The more Lin Shan looked at the man with silver armor and golden spear, the more familiar he seemed.

After looking for a while, the man suddenly turned around and shouted towards where he was!
Lin Shan was stunned. Was he talking to the shadow of his own consciousness?

But no matter whether the two men were fighting or talking, it was all just a lot of noise, seemingly just bluffing. It was so quiet that there was not a single sound. Lin Shan couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Just looking at the facial features, he vaguely looks a bit like Lin Fan?

wrong!

Isn't Lin Fan still in the Lin Mansion at this time?
He lowered his head and looked down. At this moment, Lin Fan was practicing martial arts under the guidance of the Lin family's patriarch and had no idea what was happening outside.

Lin Shan looked up into the sky again and found that another Lin Fan was shouting at him anxiously, wanting to tell him something. However, every time he wanted to convey information, he would be blocked by the mysterious rules, and his voice and face would instantly become blurred.

The mythical beast Bifang on his shoulder seemed to recognize him, and flapped its wings as if to express something, but Lin Shan didn't understand at all.

Finally, it seemed that two Lin Fans appeared in the same timeline at the same time, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chaos Principle. The whole world began to boil. Not only were the two people sanctioned, but even Lin Shan's sleepwalking consciousness was expelled!
The terrifying pressure descended, the whole world was roaring, the void began to distort, and outsiders who did not belong here were expelled. The old man turned away without completing his task, as if with a sigh.

The crisis at the Lin Mansion is over.

Before leaving, I finally heard a vague sentence from Lin Fan in the sky, which came from the endless time and space. It was intermittent and unclear:

"Be careful. Master He. Don't go to heaven."

……

"Shh!"

Scene change.

Late at night, with torches lit everywhere and teams of soldiers forming long queues, they blocked all the main exits of the village.

"Search every house!"

A middle-aged scholar wearing a black gauze hat stood at the entrance of the village. Behind him, the officers and soldiers followed his orders and entered the village to search. Immediately, there was a commotion, as well as sounds of women asking for trouble and children crying.

Not long after, a thatched hut somewhere in the village caught fire.

Faintly there could be heard the sounds of swords clashing, shouts and fighting.

"Report! Lord County Magistrate, we have discovered the remnants of the Lin's Escort Agency's official silver case!"

In the firelight, an officer came forward to report.

Qinghe County Magistrate Yang Huaili calmly ordered: "All the police officers, listen up, make sure to capture everyone, don't let anyone go! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Order!"

A captain of the police, armed with a knife, rushed into the village with his constables.

These government officials, unlike the garrison troops, were the trusted and direct descendants of the Qinghe County Magistrate and were more trustworthy.

In the village, the fire spread rapidly.

The men risked their lives to draw water from the well, while the women and the elderly put out the fire, and the officers and soldiers outside turned a blind eye.

In a large courtyard somewhere, roof beams collapsed one after another, and flames were everywhere. More than a dozen figures were resisting stubbornly. Officers and soldiers fell to the ground after fists and palms clashed. Two burly men were guarding the door, and they killed everyone who came in with swords and sabers.

"Master Pu, what should we do? The government garrison and the detectives are here, we can't stop them!"

Everyone looked at the old man who was sitting on the steps, puffing on his pipe. As the oldest escort in the agency, he had the most experience, so everyone subconsciously took him as the leader.

At this time, Lin Shan had just recovered from the previous scene, and in the blink of an eye he was pulled to the next timeline.

As a sleepwalker who was watching with his shadowy consciousness, he almost screamed when he saw this scene! Wasn't this the old escort who had taught him step by step when he first transported an escort?

"If you can't stop us, just surrender. We have been hiding for so long. Even if we can escape, our wives and children are still in Qinghe County. We are still rootless. Why bother?"

Master Pu seemed to be tired from running around these days. His face was full of fatigue and he looked a little bored.

There was a young and strong escort among the crowd who refused to accept his fate. Seeing that the old man did not resist, he simply started a new movement and made a call.

"Don't give up, men. Since you can't clear your grievances, why not leave your hometown and start a new career outside with your martial arts skills?"

"it is good!"

"Kill out!"

"Lao Wang, we're going to follow you!"

……

There were more and more footsteps outside the yard, until County Magistrate Yang Huaili was surrounded and came in person.

"Listen up, you traitors inside!"

"The theft of government silver has been reported to the court by the county magistrate. This case is of great importance and involves many people. If you give up resistance now, you will be treated as accomplices and can be given a lighter sentence as long as you identify the mastermind!"

"If you resist to the end, not only will you die today, but your entire clan will also be implicated. Think about your wives, children, parents, and grandparents. Can you really be so cruel as to abandon them?"

……

When the men inside heard the threats, especially those about punishing the entire clan, they all looked reluctant and their fists loosened a little.

The escort named Wang shouted in the courtyard:

"What about the Lin Escort Agency? Didn't our chief manager seek justice for us? We are backed by the Lin family, a great clan in Qinghe County. Didn't the Lin family seek justice for us?"

County Magistrate Yang Huaili sneered. The Lin family is just a local tyrant. Even if they find out the truth about the robbery and know that it is related to the county governor, they probably won't dare to say a word. How can they support you? Of course, it is impossible to say such words openly.

He waved his hand immediately, and the officers understood immediately.

They immediately formed groups of three or five and circled along the wall, preparing to find an opportunity to enter from the side and rear.

In front of the gate, the garrison drew their bows and arrows, wrapped the arrowheads in oilcloth and set them on fire, and shot them into the courtyard without mercy. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky.

"drink!"

The officers and soldiers in the front row, holding round shields, filed in through the gate under cover.

Even if those escorts were second- and third-rate fighters in the martial arts world and had the ability to train their organs and exchange their breath, they would not be able to withstand so many fully armed officers and soldiers, not to mention that there were many masters in the army.

There was a loud bang at the gate of the yard and inside and outside, and meteor showers were shooting from the sky.

Master Pu came to the backyard slowly, still smoking a pipe, and sighed to himself:
"What a pity! If he had been like that brat, he would not have returned after the silver was robbed, and would have wandered far away, and would not have fallen into such a predicament!"

"Haha, forget it. I'm an old man. I'm very old. My legs and feet are not very strong. Where can I run?"

"Oops~"

The old man sat down against the corner of the wall. Rockets were shot at the nearby and hit the haystack, walls, beams, ground, and even tiles, which were shattered and fell to the ground in sparse pieces.

He picked up a red brick, shook it and threw it away, then picked up a broken tile and began to carve words on the wall.

"This yard is indeed that of a wealthy family. The bricks are solid enough. It would be difficult to paint on them without some dirty tricks."

"When that kid returns from traveling the martial arts world and has experienced many hardships, I'm afraid that even if he wants to understand the past, it will have long been a mystery."

"This is all the old man has left after living his whole life. I'm sure his children and grandchildren won't be able to enjoy it. I'll just have to leave him something reluctantly."

"The world is like a tide and people are like water, but few people return."

……

The fire intensified all around, finally completely engulfing the place.

The escorts from the outer courtyard were no match for the enemy and were eventually captured one after another. They were shackled and put into prison vans and followed the government troops back to Qinghe County. The natural consequence was that they were imprisoned.

Lin Shan's shadow of consciousness watched all this quietly, the throbbing and sadness in his heart spreading, his heart filled with bitterness, and his throat was blocked.

The first senior in his life was Master Pu from Lin’s Escort Agency.

He was robbed the first time he transported a caravan. After that, he left Qinghe alone to travel to Zangke. When Master Pu returned to Qinghe, he was wanted by the county government and was hunted down all the way until he burned himself to death in a remote village.

This disastrous fate has brought misery to so many people around him!

No wonder after he became a cultivator, before setting off for the Song Dynasty capital Bianliang, he made a special trip back to his hometown in Qinghe County to rescue all the bodyguards from prison, but Master Pu was the only one missing.

But why would this part of life, which was buried in the mist of the past, appear before my eyes in the form of a dream?
Who created this dream and what does he want to tell me?
Master Pu, what did you carve on the wall in the end, and what did you plan to leave for yourself?
Before he had time to think about everything, he suddenly felt dizzy.

……

"Shh!"

The scene changes again.

This time, it is no longer the experience I am familiar with in the past.

It was a strange land, and Lin Shan was sure that he had never been there.

Now, he is still a floating shadow of consciousness and has not yet fully awakened.

Above the devastated continent, gray clouds and black smoke were rolling, and a mighty river was flowing through the sky. The river was filled with bloody corpses. An unprecedented war had just ended.

Mountains collapsed, rivers changed their courses, stars shattered, and the sky hung low.

In the center of the battlefield after this bloody rebirth, dense crowds of people are arranged in an orderly manner, wearing armor and holding sharp blades, guarding their hero in the center.

Countless different races and creatures gathered around, shoulder to shoulder, the number was more than billions.

They waved their arms enthusiastically, shook their heads and tails excitedly, stretching as far as the eye could see, winding to the end of the sky.

On the huge altar in the center, an ancient enthronement ceremony was taking place.

"The dark turmoil ends, and a new day begins."

"The Honghuang Realm has officially changed its name and will be called the Immortal Realm from now on!"

"The Immortal Realm is the center of all directions, the pinnacle of the universe, above all the heavens and myriad worlds, and hanging high in the nine layers of the sky."

……

"Without rules, there will be no order; without laws, there will be no consensus."

"The Heavenly Court is now established to monitor the myriad worlds, reporting to the Heavenly Virtue and receiving the Earthly Destiny. Its commands are authoritative and no one dares to disobey."

"Those who have transcended the mortal world and become immortals must not stay in the lower world, they must ascend immediately and be registered. If they are in the wild, they will be punished by thunder and punished!"

"The realm is divided into Hades and Hell, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Four Great Emperors, the Five Mountains Lords, the Six Dings and Six Jias, and the Northern Dipper Star Lord."

"On the occasion of the establishment of the Heavenly Court, in order to uphold the Way of Heaven and benefit the common people, a Heavenly Emperor should ascend the throne and rule over all directions!"

"Emperor Jiang, sweep the universe, cleanse the heavens, eliminate evil, illuminate the universe, and be the first Heavenly Emperor, leading all the immortals."

"All races gather together, the world is united, and the four seas are at peace."

"I will ascend the throne today, and the reign title will be Longxiong!"

……

Countless creatures of different races shouted loudly below, their eyes filled with tears of excitement:

"Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang!"

Lin Shan's shadow of consciousness watched this scene quietly, and was also infected by the surging emotions.

It was a transitional period when ancient ancestors moved from the primitive world to the fairyland. They had just passed through the dark and turbulent times, and the first heaven was hastily established.

Di Jiang walked up to the altar step by step, and ascended the throne of Heavenly Emperor with the support of all races!

Emperor Longxiong!

Cleanse the universe and clear the land of heaven and earth!
The next scene changes and many years have passed.

The Heavenly Palace had already been completely renewed. The golden palace, jade building, and jade tower were all suspended high in the nine heavens. Heavenly soldiers and generals, dressed in shining armor, were guarding the South Gate of Heaven.

Deep in the Heavenly Palace, inside a golden throne room.

Dijiang sat cross-legged on the cushion, and was in seclusion for an unknown period of time before he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's time to meet an old friend."

He muttered to himself, his eyes piercing through the boundless space, gazing into the distance, unable to make any sense.

After he stood up, there was still a transparent shadow sitting cross-legged in the original place. He had been meditating here for many years. He was too powerful, causing the traces of his Tao to overflow and be deeply imprinted in the void.

He originally planned to wipe out the shadow with a wave of his hand.

But suddenly he seemed to sense something and turned around to glance at Lin Shan.

In an instant, Lin Shan felt as if he was locked in, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and boundless and terrifying pressure descended upon him in an instant!
