Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Taichu Ancient Realm, Taichu Ancient Palace.

This ancient stone temple, a meeting point of time and space, is permeated with an aura of timeless mystery. Every stone and every texture seems to speak of the vicissitudes of time and its endless mysteries.

The white-haired but tall and straight Grand Elder Mu Jianfeng, who looked like a towering sacred mountain, invited several other Grand Elders who were in retreat to set up the Chaos Heaven Origin Tracing Formation.

There is still a long way to go.

At this moment, within a large hall of the Taichu Ancient Temple, Grand Elder Mu Jianfeng stood in the center. His expression was solemn, his gaze sharp. He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upward, and muttered something. The ancient and obscure incantation seemed to have existed since the beginning of the universe: "Chaos began, the universe was established. With my body, I will be the eye of the formation, tracing the source of cause and effect, and gaining insight into the secrets of heaven..."

As he thought about it, a layer of faint golden light appeared around his body, spreading out gradually like silk threads, as if weaving an invisible net to catch everything hidden in the darkness.

Around him, the twelve supreme elders each stood in a specific position, forming a huge and regular circle between them.

They also wore solemn expressions, their hands forming seals as fast as phantoms, their movements in unison as they chanted in unison: "Forty-nine Heavenly Evolutions, one has escaped. Now the great formation is activated, tracing back to the source of chaos. Cause and effect are connected, and the traces can be found. The evil is revealed, and there is no escape..."

The voices were uniform and loud, crossing the boundaries of time and space and continuously echoing in the ancient realm of Taichu.

As the spell continued to be chanted, the chaotic energy in the Taichu Ancient Temple, which was so pure that it was almost liquefied, began to surge wildly as if being stirred by an invisible giant hand.

The ground, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, suddenly cracked into pieces without any warning, like the mouth of a ferocious beast, from which colorful light gushed out.

Dazzling and brilliant, they continuously intertwined and merged, gradually outlining a huge and complex rune array, which slowly emerged above the heads of the supreme elders.

In an instant, the entire Taichu Ancient Realm, the originally clear sky, suddenly changed, and dark clouds rolled in, layer upon layer, like huge black waves, surging and roaring in the sky.

Extremely thick bolts of lightning shuttled through the depths of the dark clouds like mad dragons, making deafening roars. Every thunder sounded like the heaven and earth roaring in anger.

At the same time, the very ground of the Taichu Ancient Realm began to tremble, as if shaken by an invisible force. The sacred mountains surrounding the Taichu Ancient Palace shook violently, their peaks cascading with snow. The mountain's spiritual springs and waterfalls also lost their former tranquility, flowing upstream to form magnificent water dragons that swirled and danced through the air.

As the formation gradually took shape, the huge rune formation slowly rotated, getting faster and faster, and finally turned into a dazzling beam of light, piercing the sky.

In the light column, all kinds of strange scenes kept emerging, sometimes like twinkling stars, sometimes like rushing mountains and rivers, as if showing the birth and changes of the universe.

Finally, after a burst of blazing light, the Chaos Tianyan Origin Tracing Array was successfully formed. At this time, the entire Taichu Ancient Palace was shrouded in a layer of mysterious light. In the light, it seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes peeping at all the causes and effects in the world, revealing the hidden true fragrance.

"Alright! The Chaos Heaven Origin Tracing Formation is complete. I want to see who has the guts to secretly harm the elders of my Taichu Holy Land."

Mu Jianfeng, the Grand Elder of the Taichu Holy Land, sneered, and the light around him became increasingly brilliant. His hands danced like a phantom, and he once again chanted the mysterious and ancient spell: "Chaos traces its origin, the eyes of heaven open. Time travels back, cause and effect become clear. Using the formation as a guide, we can glimpse the secrets of heaven..."

As this ancient incantation rang out, the already formed Chaos Heavenly Origin Tracing Formation once again erupted with intense light. The mysterious light enveloping the Primordial Ancient Palace grew even more intense. Countless runes flickered and danced on the veil of light, as if engaging in a mysterious conversation.

The pillar of light above the formation trembled violently, and a mighty chaotic force gushed out from it, sweeping in all directions. Wherever it passed, space shattered like a broken mirror, and the distorted space-time behind the cracks could be vaguely seen.

Outside the Taichu Ancient Palace, the situation was changing even more dramatically.

The originally surging dark clouds were now spinning wildly, forming a huge black vortex, as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world.

The thunder that shuttled through it was no longer chaotic, but gradually gathered together to form a huge eye of thunder, overlooking the earth, as if examining all the secrets of the world.

The earth's tremors intensified, and several of the sacred mountains surrounding the Taichu Ancient Temple began to crumble completely, sending masses of rock raining down. However, the instant these rocks approached the light of the formation, they crumbled to dust and vanished into thin air. The mountain's spiritual springs and waterfalls no longer simply flowed in reverse; instead, all the water converged, forming a massive water dragon that swirled and danced around the Taichu Ancient Temple, its roar resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Amidst the chaos and shock, the light of the formation gradually condensed, and pictures appeared on the light curtain.

At first, the images were blurry, as if obscured by a thick mist, making it impossible to discern the details. But as Grand Elder Mu Jianfeng continued chanting the incantation, the mist gradually dissipated, and the images gradually became clearer.

The first thing that appeared was a sea of blood, surging with waves and emitting a sickening bloody odor. From within the sea of blood, waves of bloody evil force soared into the sky, the same terrifying force that had previously massacred the Zhang clan.

Then, the scene changed and a mysterious fairy city appeared, hidden in the dark fog. Only the outline of the fairy city could be vaguely seen, but its specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

Mu Jianfeng frowned, the power of the Great Dao in his body dissipated faster and faster, and the speed at which he chanted the spell became faster and faster.

In an instant, the light on the light curtain became brighter, and the layers of fog that shrouded the mysterious fairy city began to dissipate, gradually revealing its true appearance.

......

Wanling Continent, Yuling Fairy City, City Lord’s Mansion, three-story bamboo building.

Suddenly, like a loyal servant, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Old Bai, who was standing respectfully behind Su Mo. He pointed casually with his finger, which looked skinny but contained infinite power.

In an instant, an invisible but extremely terrifying force crossed the endless time and space, tore through the numerous restrictions and defenses of the Taichu Ancient Realm, and appeared above the Taichu Ancient Palace. In the astonished eyes of the supreme elders, it turned into a huge pillar of light like a pillar of heaven, and crushed directly towards the Chaos Tianyan Origin Array.

"boom......"

There was a deafening roar, and it seemed as if the entire ancient Taichu Realm had suffered a devastating disaster at this moment and began to tremble violently.

Under the impact of this terrifying force, the Chaos Heavenly Origin Tracing Array shattered in an instant like fragile glass.

The originally dazzling rune array, the light pillars that covered the sky and the sun, and the mysterious light curtain turned into countless fragments and dissipated between heaven and earth.

“Ah…Pfft…”

Inside the Taichu Ancient Hall, the Grand Elder, the focal point of the formation, bore the brunt of the attack. Divine blood gushed from his mouth, his once rosy complexion now utterly pale, devoid of any trace of color, as if his very life force had been drained from him in an instant. His aura plummeted, like a candle flickering in a fierce wind, precariously poised to go out at any moment.

Although the other twelve supreme elders were in much better condition, they were also bleeding profusely and their morale plummeted. They were far inferior to the elders in charge of the Taichu Holy Land.

"Ah... this... this power..."

Mu Jianfeng and other thirteen great elders were terrified, their eyes filled with fear and despair. The Taichu Ancient Realm was the place where these great elders practiced in seclusion, and its defense was built by the ancestors themselves. Unless there was a correct way to enter and exit, it would not be so easy for even some of the Four Thousand Dao Kings to enter their Taichu Ancient Realm. Not to mention that it was so simple and brutal to shatter the numerous forbidden divine formations. This power was completely beyond their cognition.

at this time......

A cold and majestic voice echoed over the Taichu Ancient Palace, shaking the ears of the Supreme Elders like a loud bell, causing pain in their ears and trembling in their souls. "Considering that this is your first offense, I will spare your lives for now. If you do it again, your Taichu Holy Land will be the next Zhang family."
