Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

Deep within the void warship, the corpse of the borderland king gleamed.

To its left and right, an unknown Dao pattern coiled and condensed into a high platform, becoming a place to take refuge.

As Yang Jian and Shi Hao stepped onto the high platform, they immediately felt an ancient and vast aura, as if it had been passed down from the previous era, all originating from the corpse in the center.

"He was crowned king in the frontier, repelled foreign lands, basked in the divine light of the heavens, and even the Immortal Realm came to visit." Yang Jian knew that glorious history, his double pupils shining brightly, and he was also somewhat moved.

In contrast, Shi Hao was unable to remain calm. He felt a sense of desolation and sorrow as he gazed at the wounded body of the King-Sealing Warrior, studded with fragments of various treasures shrouded in chaotic energy, the blood still fresh in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel grief and indignation: "The glory of the borderlands has been smeared with sinful blood? Who handed down this judgment?!"

The next moment, a rune appeared between his eyebrows, his ancestral blood was revived, holy light soared into the sky, breaking through the darkness of the place, and the beam of light shot into the sky.

In the abyss, the king, sitting cross-legged and motionless, seemed to sense something; his cold corpse even emitted divine light from his forehead, shattering the darkness.

Shi Hao's body trembled, and the runes on his forehead resonated as if he had encountered someone with whom he shared a common bloodline. Yang Jian silently watched all of this, knowing that this was the inheritance of the seven lineages of the Borderland Kings.

In the past, the ancestor of the Stone Clan was one of the kings of the borderlands, and had made great military achievements.

In those days, there was the Vermilion Bird King, several human kings, and the Dragon King. Being conferred a title of king was a recognition, a brilliant inheritance, and was blessed by all races. Therefore, that mark was a kind of glory and brilliance.

The original kings of each race possessed great supernatural powers. After being blessed by their respective races, they developed even more powerful supernatural powers, integrating their glory into their very bones and forming patterns that gave them unpredictable abilities. If fully activated, they could obtain the divine treasures of their race and possess supreme martial arts.

For example, Shi Hao's Supreme Bone and Shi Yi's Double Pupils were both supernatural abilities that their clan once possessed. Some of the first generation could also use this to explain, otherwise, how could such a peerless technique be conceived in the body of a child? Of course, that was after being inherited for countless generations and diluted and weakened many times over.

Just when he thought this matter had nothing to do with him, the corpse of the king suddenly trembled and emitted a stream of light.

"You have finally arrived, the contemporary inheritor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture, the young man of the Immortal Ancient Clan. We have already met 'distantly' countless ages ago."

The lingering obsession of the one who was crowned king was gentle, seemingly because Yang Jian possessed double pupils and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture. These two things were deeply intertwined with this world and closely related to the guardians of the past.

But what he said was shocking!

A former king actually met Yang Jian countless ages ago?

One lived countless ages ago, the other was born in this world, separated by an entire era, how could they possibly meet?

Through his obsession, Yang Jian seemed to see a figure across the long river of time. That person walked through time, accompanied by the Great Dao, with a unique and supreme spirit that could swallow the past and present, and a pair of eyes that could see through the ages!

Beside him, there seemed to be six other figures, standing with him in front of a certain heavenly gate, dominating both realms.

"Senior, what else did you see?" Yang Jian asked curiously, wanting to know a glimpse into the future.

The borderland king's obsession paused slightly, then his voice deepened, filled with emotion, "Some people say that the previous era was the path of immortals, and this era is the path of gods. Immortals and gods are immortal, transcending the mortal world. What I saw was a god, a true god, standing alone on the long river of time, looking back on the ages, holding the nine heavens and ten earths in his hands, walking on in the vast darkness."

Another traveled with him, transforming the entirety of ancient history to create a perfect world; another went blind, sacrificing everything; still another transformed into a tree, co-creating various universes with another, creating a final pure land… But that was merely a glimpse of the future, a deduction we seven kings made together before our deaths, and may not be the predetermined destiny.”

As he narrated, Yang Jian was lost in thought, as if he were seeing the darkest era and future, where someone had inherited the will of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands and was settling accounts with everything!

"Besides, young friend, the scripture you cultivate has a deep connection with this world. You can be considered a unique person favored by heaven and earth, a successor nurtured by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths." The obsession of the King echoed softly as he persuaded him.

Yang Jian shook his head, his eyes cold and sharp. "The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are one thing, but the people within them are another. Heaven and Earth are worth protecting, but not everyone is worth protecting. This world is teeming with parasites and scourges; it's best to wipe them all out!"

"I know you think that today, most people in the world are just surviving because the heroes of that time have all died in battle. Those who survived are mostly strong people and families from the Immortal Realm, such as some aristocratic families, including the Jin family in the Nine Heavens, whose main family is in the Immortal Realm; and the four remnant immortals in the Ten Lands, who are also visitors from the Immortal Realm. They left behind their influence and brought down the tradition of infighting there."

If these people are causing trouble, it is good to kill them. If the heavens are declining and the earth is decaying, then there is only one word: kill. Use the way of killing to cleanse the dust and filth and restore the land!

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths need a settler, and you, who cultivate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sutra, are most suitable. Of course, you are still young and your realm is still shallow, so we will not make things difficult for you or force you to take on the responsibility. We will also help you to the best of our ability so that you can travel back and forth between these places.

We will not ask you to protect all living beings in heaven and earth; that is unrealistic, and not everyone should be protected. We only hope that when you attain enlightenment in the future, you will be able to sweep away the nine heavens and cleanse the ten earths! Eliminate all internal and external troubles, and become a purger, a purger belonging to the nine heavens and ten earths.

The king sighed softly, explaining the cause and effect. He only asked Yang Jian for a promise for the future, which would settle the matter. He would then be free from all constraints in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Seeing this, Yang Jian nodded and agreed, "Alright, I promise you; if I attain enlightenment in the future, I will inherit the cause of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture and cleanse the result of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; I will kill all the maggots in the Nine Heavens and wipe out all the demonic atmosphere in the Ten Earths!"

"Slay the rebels, slay the traitors, slay the usurpers, slay the infighting, slay the crippled immortals, slay the alien races, and slay any extraordinary members of the immortal families. All those who disrupt the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths shall be killed!"

Yang Jian's voice was powerful and resonant, like a comet breaking through the sky, a cold light piercing the dawn, revealing a sharp edge like a sword, making people tremble with fear.

Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife in the night, while the imperial star sways and Mars rises high!

"Good, this corrupt world needs a strong medicine. I'll wait for the day you achieve enlightenment." Upon hearing this, the King of Kings laughed heartily. He himself had fought his way through countless battles and bloodshed, so he naturally liked this kind of temperament and was not afraid of bloodshed. After that, he left a character in Yang Jian's 'Heavenly Eye'.

The character was identical to the mark between Shi Hao's eyebrows, resembling the character for "sin," but in reality, it was a symbol of glory.

With the help of this King-Conferring Character, he can use the power of this borderland king as a bridge to return to this dark ancient ship, continue his cultivation of the Divine Fire Path, and even break through his limits and cultivate immortal energy here!

This is an incredible stroke of luck, as the place is filled with divine opportunities and treasures, and it is also a good place to take refuge. No one dares to enter, and it cannot be predicted, so it is very safe.

Not far away, Shi Hao also opened his eyes. He had obtained the inheritance of the King and awakened the Stone Clan's divine treasure. The newly obtained Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand also shone brightly.

Boom!

The next moment, the king sitting cross-legged on the abyss trembled slightly, his body glowed, and his supreme physical body was stimulated to overflow with brilliant light, which spread out as ripples.

"One day this seal will break, and when it does, evil and misfortune will reign supreme over the land, bringing calamity. Now, you must leave. Go and protect my homeland!"

The king's brow glowed, and the character for "sin" burned, actually creating a passage. That power enveloped Yang Jian and Shi Hao, sending them away from this void.

In his final moments before leaving, Yang Jian seemed to sense something; it was as if he heard the last call of a king before his obsession dissipated.

It sounds somewhat like someone calling their own name, but it doesn't quite seem like it.

In that instant, as if it were eternity, Yang Jian glanced back at the king's corpse and saw that the corpse had revealed a smile.

After he disappeared, a faint voice echoed, reverberating through the past and stirring into the future:

"If one day, the starry sky shatters, an era collapses, and countless old friends, their youthful beauty faded, their souls returned to the earth, vanishing into the annals of time, then when the world looks back on history and calls your name, it will signify the end of the Dark Ages!"

People of this world...

The world is calling for it.

The moment your name appears.

The sound was distant and echoing, seemingly from the past, seemingly from the future, and finally coalesced into a single, overlapping call:

Yang Jian!

Yang! Jian!

In an instant, the entrance to the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm trembled violently, and the void of the Three Thousand Bluestone Road was torn apart by a beam of immortal light, with endless strange phenomena and radiant light illuminating the Three Thousand Realms.

"A divine destiny has brought him into this world?"

"A great opportunity is about to unfold!"

"Let's go, hurry and seize this opportunity!"

In various smaller worlds, many living beings sensed the anomaly.

Not long ago, the fluctuations coming from the Three Thousand Bluestone Road were too intense, and some sensitive experts sensed it and have already set off.

"Could it be that someone is trying to take that step and is about to succeed? Has it attracted misfortune and darkness?" Soon, all forces sensed it and rushed over.
