Chapter 159 The Immortal Lord Opens the Immortal Gate with a Single Sword, Entering the Immortal Realm Amidst the Attention of All!
The Taoist boy's sudden remark was like an autumn breeze, scattering the deep, warm atmosphere that had been there all along.
Qin Yining froze, clutching the child tightly in her arms.
She had just found her Hao'er, and hadn't even had a chance to really see his features properly, so why did they have to part ways?
However, a mother would never let her own affection affect her child's future.
"mother..."
Little Shihao was also moved, and he raised his little face in that warm embrace, his eyes red-rimmed.
"Go."
On the other side, Shi Ziling's eyes were also red, but he was, after all, a man, and a hero who had once dominated the region.
He knew all too well what an incredible stroke of luck it was to follow that supreme being into the Immortal Realm.
It should be known that in this world, the heavens and earth are incomplete, and no one can become an immortal under any circumstances. Even Meng Tianzheng, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy, who was so talented, was stopped here.
However, entering the Immortal Realm will not.
"Hao'er, remember your father's words." Shi Ziling patiently squatted down, giving his parting words of advice.
"Once you get there, you must be obedient and diligent in your cultivation."
"Your father and mother are here waiting for you to come back."
"No matter how long it takes, your parents will always be waiting for you."
"Father, I remember!" Upon hearing these words, Shi Hao nodded vigorously, tears welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.
After saying goodbye to his father, he turned around and looked at the old man who had always doted on him.
"grandfather..."
"Good child, good child!" Seeing his grandson about to embark on a long journey to pursue the higher path, the Great Demon God Shi Zhongtian was also extremely gratified.
With his only remaining arm, he trembled as he stroked his grandson's head, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Go."
Xiao Shihao nodded, gave his grandfather Shi Zhongtian a final hug, and then walked heavily to the people of Shi Village.
In order not to hold him back and to prevent him from worrying all the time, the people of Shicun resolutely decided to stay here.
Seeing the little one about to embark on a long journey, the old village chief Shi Yunfeng was already in tears.
He tremblingly stretched out a rough, large hand, wanting to touch the child's face again, but fearing he would waste the immortal's time, he only held his hand in mid-air, trembling slightly.
"Grandpa Clan Chief."
However, Shi Hao grabbed the rough, calloused hand and pressed his cheek against the old man's palm, saying in a thick nasal voice:
"The little one is leaving. Please take good care of yourself."
"And...and my animal milk, please save it for me."
"Don't throw away those jars, I'll want more to drink when I get back."
Hearing these childlike words, the previously tense atmosphere around them was instantly lightened.
Many of the men from Shicun smiled with red eyes, but their smiles were full of bitterness and reluctance.
"well!"
"Grandpa will keep them all for you, and keep them forever. Even if the world collapses, Grandpa will protect your milk jars!" Hearing the little one's deliberate words, Shi Yunfeng laughed and cried at the same time, nodding repeatedly.
Nearby, Er Meng, Pi Hou, and other former playmates gathered around, looking longingly at their little friend, clearly reluctant to part with him.
"Little one, if you encounter any powerful ferocious beasts in that Immortal Realm, remember to leave us a piece of precious bone!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Little one, take care!"
Finally, amidst everyone's reluctant gazes, Shi Hao waved firmly, bidding farewell to everyone, and then stood beside the Daoist boy, turning back every last step.
At the same time, Liu Shen's stunning figure arrived with the wind.
A few glistening willow branches gently brushed past Shi Hao's head, as if to soothe him.
Qian Renxue also walked over. She silently glanced at the sincere emotions among these mortals, took a deep breath, and once again resumed her aloof and noble demeanor.
The group of five—Jiang Chen, Dao Tong, Shi Hao, Qian Renxue, and Liu Shen—had already assembled.
The giants from the upper realms around them, witnessing this scene, were filled with a shock and envy that defied description.
The First Elder, Meng Tian, was clad in battle armor, his tiger-like eyes gleaming as he stared intently at the small figure.
At that moment, he seemed to see a bright sun about to rise.
One day in the future, this child might actually end up on that path.
After all, this was the only person the Immortal Lord had chosen from the lower realms.
"When this child returns, the entire world will be transformed," Meng Tianzheng murmured to himself, feeling both gratified and filled with emotion.
The Immortal Venerable Qin Changsheng felt a bitter taste in his mouth and a mix of emotions in his heart.
This should have been the prodigy of his Immortal Mountain, but now he will grow up under the tutelage of that supreme being, and his future achievements will probably be something even he can only look up to.
On the other side, there were the Peacock God, the leader of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, the leader of the Mending Heaven Sect, the ancestor of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit Clan, and other immortal beings...
These powerful figures, who could shake the upper realm with a mere stomp of their feet, now looked like a group of country bumpkins who had never seen the world, staring longingly at a three- or four-year-old child.
Envy, jealousy.
They dared not imagine what a terrifying scene it would be when this child, having grown up in the environment of the Immortal Realm, descended upon this devastated land once more.
Perhaps, even immortals will have to prostrate themselves at his feet.
Just then, Jiang Chen, who had been standing with his hands behind his back in the sky, finally moved.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and it seemed as if a galaxy was fading and the ages were flowing within them.
"The remaining power of the Immortal King in this decree of mine is not much."
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, not looking at the powerful figures, but addressing the young Daoist disciple and Liu Shen beside him:
"This effort is only enough to open the barrier of the Immortal Realm and construct a temporary passage."
"Once the passage is opened, this avatar of mine will vanish into nothingness."
At this point, Jiang Chen's gaze also fell on the Daoist boy.
"Once you enter the Immortal Realm, the path lies beneath your feet."
"Dao Yi, you must protect them until they reach the Primordial Celestial Court to see my true form."
Upon hearing this, the young Taoist knew the matter was of great importance, and immediately became solemn, bowing deeply and respectfully to Jiang Chen.
"I will obey the Immortal Lord's decree! This disciple will certainly not fail in my mission!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, then turned around to face the vast, boundless sky that seemed to be forever insurmountable.
At that moment, the aura emanating from him changed.
It's no longer the serene and otherworldly feeling of before, but a domineering feeling to the extreme.
It seemed as if it wanted to rule over all ages and suppress all the heavens and worlds!
"Clang!"
Suddenly, a sword cry rang out, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
The sound contained no offensive power, yet it made everyone present tremble in their souls.
Even a powerful expert like Meng Tianzheng, who was at the Supreme Realm, felt as if his soul had been torn apart by something, and was filled with terror.
Then, Jiang Chen reached into the void with one hand, without using any physical weapon, but instead used his finger as a sword to slash at the sky.
This stroke, seemingly casual and devoid of any human touch.
But in that instant, the Great Dao roared and the laws collapsed!
A dazzling sword light burst forth from Jiang Chen's fingertips, instantly growing to a height of billions of feet.
Like a galaxy formed from countless Dao runes, it flowed upstream and soared straight into the heavens!
In an instant, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light.
The entire sky above the Three Thousand Provinces seemed to freeze at that moment.
"open!"
Words become law!
The sword light struck the ethereal boundary wall with its full force.
