Chapter 307 Buzhou Mountain Appears
Lin Wan took a deep breath, then closed her eyes.
Her eyelashes trembled gently, but when she opened them again, her pupils were already swirling with pale golden Dao rhyme.
"Eye of the Cave Void, open!"
With a soft shout containing Great Dao Truths, her Immortal Venerable Vision crashed open.
The world before her peeled away like layers of a faded ancient scroll.
All things shed their disguises, revealing the most primitive veins of rules.
In her eyes, the vermilion painted beams of the Heavenly Stele Pavilion turned into surging rivers of spiritual power.
Every wood grain was an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao rules.
The bright moonlight was analyzed into fragmented spatial ripples, and every halo spoke of the mysteries of overlapping dimensions.
This was the ultimate truth of heaven and earth that only those in the Immortal Venerable Realm could glimpse.
Next, the scene before her made her breath stagnate.
The majestic Heavenly Stele was actually suspended in the center of two spatial folds.
Tens of thousands of transparent spatial threads extended from the stele body, wrapping the entire Heavenly Stele like a spiderweb.
Even more shocking was that the other end of all these threads connected to a blurry shadow.
"This is... overlapping space..."
She murmured softly, her fingertips unconsciously touching those threads invisible to ordinary people.
In the Immortal Venerable's vision, the narrow space where the Heavenly Stele resided was actually formed by two completely independent spaces forced together by some great power.
It was like slightly overlapping two paintings, and this Heavenly Stele was the part where the two paintings overlapped!
Then, Lin Wan reached out to touch the Heavenly Stele for the third time.
This time, a sudden change occurred.
Ripple-like patterns appeared on the stele's surface, and her hand encountered no resistance, as if she were reaching into a ball of soft clouds.
Her fingertips felt a strange sensation, like passing through thick honey, yet also like touching warm silk.
"So that's how it is..."
A corner of Lin Wan's mouth curled into a knowing arc.
Those seemingly hard stele bodies were merely illusions produced by spatial overlap.
The true body of the Heavenly Stele was probably quietly standing in another space.
As she went deeper, her sleeves moved without wind, and fine spatial cracks appeared and disappeared in her hair.
Just as her palm completely submerged into the stele, she stopped.
Should she go in and take a look?
Lin Wan only hesitated for an instant.
The next moment, her figure completely merged into the Heavenly Stele like ink.
The top of the Heavenly Stele Pavilion returned to silence, as if no one had ever been there.
...
At the moment of crossing, her vision suddenly twisted.
Lin Wan felt as if she were stretched into countless points of light, only to be reassembled in an instant.
When she regained her perception, she was already in an ancient stone chamber.
The four walls were carved with ancient runes, and every trace flowed with hidden spiritual light.
The ground was carved from a single piece of green jade, engraved with a map of the stars, which now glowed faintly with her arrival.
A Heavenly Stele identical to the one in the pavilion stood inside it.
Obviously, this one was the true body of the Heavenly Stele!
"Hide."
She softly spat a true word, and her figure instantly became transparent like fog.
The stone chamber walls turned into a transparent water curtain before her.
Then, she stepped out—
Sky light poured down.
Lin Wan's pupils shrank violently, and she subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes.
Only then did she react that she was no longer a mortal body on Earth.
She withdrew her hand, and the scene before her made her breath stagnate once again.
A black divine mountain connecting heaven and earth stood between heaven and earth.
The mountain body was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and every gap flowed with red magma like blood, as if the earth had been torn open wounds.
Above the waist, it disappeared into rolling thunderclouds, yet above the clouds... that peak actually pierced through the firmament!
Pitch-black void cracks spanned the sky curtain, and countless star fragments surrounded it, like a pearl necklace violently broken.
Even more terrifying was that those fragments were not static, but were slowly... falling.
The entire mountain pulsed slightly with a terrible rhythm.
Each rise and fall triggered a tsunami of spiritual energy for ten thousand miles around.
Scattered at the foot of the mountain were bronze wreckage comparable in size to cities.
There were broken giant swords with "Slash Heaven" carved on them, and collapsed palaces with "Reach the Clouds" faintly visible on the plaques.
There was also half a stone tablet, carved with "Heaven Reaching Divine Path" in ancient divine script.
Yet before this divine mountain, these behemoths were as small as toys discarded by a child.
"Buzhou..."
This name split her mind sea like a clap of thunder.
Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, not from fear, but from the most primitive awe life feels when facing the greatness of heaven and earth.
What shocked her even more was that the shape of this mountain was completely different from ancient records.
The legendary Buzhou Mountain should be broken, but this one stood intact!
Only the wound running east to west at the waist looked like an unhealed sword scar under the blood-colored sky light.
In the wound, golden veins were faintly visible beating, as if the entire mountain was... alive.
Her Immortal Venerable spiritual sense spread like a tide.
The result of the investigation shook her mind: the rocks at the edge of the cracks presented a strange glassy state, having been remelted by supreme power.
Even more horrifying was that those "adhesives" were flowing Heavenly Dao laws.
Golden space-time Dao patterns intertwined with silver life sources into a net, forcefully sewing the broken mountain body together.
And deeper, she felt an even more ancient power, a power that reminded her of the pulse felt in the Heavenly Stele...
"Reconnecting the Heaven Pillar..."
Lin Wan's voice carried an unprecedented heaviness.
Even with her Immortal Venerable Realm cultivation, it was absolutely impossible to complete such a divine feat.
An even more terrifying guess surfaced in her mind.
If the Heaven Pillar was restored, did it mean this divine mountain had resumed the heavy responsibility of connecting the Three Realms?
Then, who possessed such earth-shattering power?
And what was the purpose of this existence in repairing the Heaven Pillar?
"Boom—Crack—"
A deafening roar came from the summit.
That was not thunder, but the sound of space shattering.
Countless giant stones wrapped in thunder and fire rolled down, several of which suddenly disappeared during the fall, as if swallowed by something invisible.
She suppressed her surging emotions, her white Dao robe fluttering in the wind.
Since Hong Chenji could climb to the top to explore back then, what did she have to fear today?
"Then I shall go see the end of the heavens."
Before her voice fell, her figure had already turned into a long rainbow piercing the sun, rushing towards the summit that pierced the firmament.
The lightning flickering in the clouds illuminated her back, while on the other side of the mountain body which she could not see, the golden veins in that huge wound suddenly beat violently...
