What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 556
556 Boundary Stone (1)
Song Shi narrowed his eyes and followed silently. He was not afraid of any ambush.
The world suddenly darkened.
An ancient palace appeared at the top of the Mystic Spirit Mountain. It was a thousand feet tall and could not be considered luxurious. It carried the aura of time as if it had been passed down from the Savage Desolate Era to the present.
The rich power of the earth transformed into yellow energy that covered the sky and earth, forming a special domain.
In the domain, Chains of Law extended from the ground and connected to the Mystic Yellow Palace.
Song Shi felt his body become even heavier. The power here was too powerful. Even his immortal body found it difficult to walk.
He looked at the yellow chain that pierced through the Void and thought of the level of the Immortal Gods.
Immortal Gods cultivated the power of laws. Their titles ranged from low to high. They were Heavenly Immortals, True Immortals, Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Kings, Immortal Emperors, and so on.
The level of Law power they controlled was the Law Fire, the True Chain of Law, the Web of Law, the Law Domain, the Great Dao Law… and even the Heavenly Dao Control.
If the Chains of Law here were not naturally formed, it was most likely deliberately set up by an existence comparable to a True Immortal. It was unknown if it was to intimidate others or seal something.
While he was observing the Chains of Law, his vision suddenly blurred for a moment. A hunchbacked old man strangely appeared at the door of the empty palace.
The latter was not tall, short but rather muscular. What was strange was that his eyebrows and beard were very long, more than a foot long. He was wearing a short dark yellow robe and was looking at him with his hands behind his back with a smile.
“Little Friend Song really has the bearings of an immortal. Not to mention his cultivation, this body can already be considered an immortal body. As expected of the rumored immortal from the Nine Heavens.”
This was the first time Song Shi had encountered a fellow he could not see through. Although the other party was standing opposite him, he gave off a feeling that he was everywhere. His aura was even more unfathomable.
However, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be frightened to death so many times. Song Shi said calmly, “Mystic Spirit Ancestor?”
“That’s me.”
The old man gestured to his clansmen. The latter bowed respectfully and turned into a ray of light before retreating.
He stretched out his hand and gestured, “Little Friend Song, please come in.”
Song Shi looked at the rather mysterious Mystic Yellow Palace and walked over generously. He casually said, “Ancestor, do you know why I’m here?”
“I know. Fellow Daoist Ji mentioned that you want to borrow the Boundary Stone and return to your hometown to sever your mortal ties.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor nodded.
“It’s what Ji Xiyang said. There shouldn’t be any eavesdropping. There can’t be Dharma treasures everywhere.”
Song Shi was deep in thought as he teased, “Then I wonder if the Mystic Spirit Ancestor is willing to lend it to me?”
“Of course not. Little Friend Song, a rare immortal like you has a favor to ask of my Mystic Spirit Race. We have to seize this opportunity.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor chuckled and looked very easy to talk to.
Song Shi would not be fooled by such a cheap smile. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the latter. “What are the conditions?”
“Young friend, you have contributed so much to the Mystic Spirit Realm. My Mystic Spirit Race couldn’t be more grateful. How can we ask for any conditions?”
The Mystic Spirit Races seemed very kind.
“I’m willing to kill the Demon Race. I still have to calculate it.”
Song Shi shook his head. He did not like owing favors.
“If Fellow Daoist Song is free, it’s even better if you can help me kill a member of the Demon Race. Once he dies, the war between the two worlds will be over.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor’s words surprised Song Shi, “Can I kill an existence that you can’t resolve?”
“Young friend, you think too highly of me. I can’t leave this Mystic Spirit Mountain easily.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor smiled bitterly, “This mountain is the foundation of the Mystic Spirit Realm. It has always been watched by the Plane Spirit of the Heavenly Demon Realm. If I leave, this world will really be in danger.”
“I can take action, but I have to go back first. I don’t think the Mystic Spirit Realm will be occupied in a few days, right?”
Song Shi still agreed to this exchange. To him, it was to kill a powerhouse of the Demon Race. Since the other party asked him to help, he should not be too strong.
“Little friend, you’re straightforward.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor pointed into the palace, “The Boundary Stone is inside.”
When Song Shi heard this, he quickened his pace.
A layer of Mystic Yellow Qi floated at the entrance of the palace, preventing him from seeing the scene inside clearly. Seeing that Mystic Spirit Ancestor did not stop him, Song Shi was not worried about any ambush and strode in.
The Mystic Yellow Qi was especially heavy. Song Shi felt as if he had squeezed in. There was a sudden silence in his ears, and all sound disappeared.
He was in a boundless starry sky. The stars flickered and he subconsciously looked down. A glowing mountain appeared in front of him. It was completely black and yellow.
“This is… the Mystic Spirit Mountain?”
Song Shi was puzzled. He felt that this mountain was far larger than before.
“This is the origin of the Mystic Spirit Realm. It can be considered the Mystic Spirit Mountain. What you saw outside is only the tip of the iceberg.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor walked in and walked towards the Mystic Spirit Mountain.
Song Shi could only follow. He looked up and saw a huge purple ball of light. It was like a mysterious black hole that emitted a devouring aura.
“The largest ball of light you see is the Heavenly Demon Realm. It’s the closest to us now and is eyeing us covetously.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor introduced without turning around.
Song Shi looked at the other glowing stars. It turned out that they were all balls of light that were much smaller than the Heavenly Demon Realm. He did not know if it was because of the distance or because they were smaller.
“Could these be the various dimensions?”
“That’s right. At this moment, you’re using the angle of the Mystic Spirit Realm to observe the other realms. The Heavenly Demon Realm is the closest to us and is the brightest. These subsidiary lower realms are also very close.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor nodded and continued forward.
Song Shi observed the nearby light spots. They were close and far from the Heavenly Demon Realm, and there were many of them.
There were actually no less than a hundred light spots near the Mystic Spirit Realm that should be from the lower plane. Miraculously, they were all enveloped by the light of the Mystic Spirit Realm and should be protected by the rules of the Mystic Spirit Realm. Only the part that came into contact with the Heavenly Demon Realm had some changes.
He looked at the area where the power of the two worlds came into contact with more than ten light spots. His hometown might be among them.
At this moment, he discovered that Mystic Spirit Ancestor was looking at a yellow ball of light in the distance in a daze.
The latter said, “That’s the Mystic Yellow Great World. It’s of the same origin as our Mystic Spirit Realm. Unfortunately, it’s getting further and further away now. We haven’t communicated for more than a million years.”
He sighed, “If the Mystic Yellow Realm was here, how could the Heavenly Demon Realm be arrogant?”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor seemed to be missing something. He sighed, “The Mystic Yellow is gone, only the Mystic Spirit is left. It’s difficult for a single person to support it. This world will eventually decline.”
“So pessimistic?”
Song Shi looked at the ball of light in the distance. “There’s nothing special about this Mystic Yellow Realm.”
“It’s different.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor shook his head and did not say anything. In a flash, he landed in front of a round stone on Mystic Spirit Mountain.
This stone was the size of a head, and it actually emitted a chaotic light. Song Shi’s gaze changed slightly: “Could it be that this is the Boundary Stone?”
“That’s right. If you can withstand its vast power, you will naturally be able to find your hometown through it. If you can’t withstand it, you will die. This old man has no choice.”
The Mystic Spirit Ancestor was rather cold at this moment and was not prepared to help Song Shi use the Boundary Stone.
“Then I’ll see how it kills me.”
