Primordial Era: The Great Celestial Venerable on the Road to Mythology

Chapter 37 Anlan, Discussing Foreign Lands

The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene.

A majestic pass stretching for hundreds of millions of miles stands between heaven and earth, with four large characters engraved above the city gate: Tianyuan Imperial Pass.

Darkness will engulf the earth, and blood will surge to the heavens.

A long howl shook the heavens, and in an instant, the sound of air being torn apart was incessant.

One after another, figures appeared—there were blood-red giant eagles, demonic birds burning with black flames, divine birds shimmering with blue light, and three-legged flying dragons… Countless ferocious birds and monsters swept across the sky.

Boom!

A drumbeat resounded throughout the entire Imperial Pass. Immediately afterwards, horns blared across the sky, and the True Dragon Horn was sounded.

Inside the city, countless powerful figures climbed to the top of the city walls, gazing out over the pass.

Is the end of an era approaching, or the beginning of a new era? People are filled with unease and anxiety.

There is only one way out!

Soon after, a deafening roar erupted, with powerful warriors from all races within the Imperial Pass roaring in unison. Standing atop the city walls, one could see a vast, densely packed army stretching to the horizon, a dark, boundless expanse resembling a black ocean, its killing intent soaring to the heavens—millions upon millions of ferocious soldiers!

"This day has finally come," an old supreme being in the city sighed.

boom!

A thunderous roar echoed through the sky, as a celestial halberd cleaved through eternity, attempting to cleave the heavens and the abyss, its power vast and boundless.

"Weapons of immortal beings!"

Above the Imperial Pass, the people were utterly awestruck. An aura of immortality erupted, its power unparalleled.

And no matter how far apart they were, even without the ability to see through the heavens, every living being in the borderlands saw the scene at the edge of the horizon—

A tank slowly drove in.

The chariot was covered with marks left by weapons: axe marks, sword marks, knife marks... The mottled surface recorded the glory of one great battle after another.

That was the chariot of the Immortal King. An old ox pulled it slowly forward, approaching the Abyss to cross it. The ox was enormous, with dark red fur, but its back was golden, and its two horns were also cast in gold, responsible for pulling the chariot.

"Anlan Chariot! The Immortal King is about to pass the level!"

On the city wall, several ancient and powerful figures gasped, their bodies turning ice-cold as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Inside the Imperial Pass, everyone's scalp tingled, feeling as if it were about to explode.

The Immortal King has passed the test; who can stop him?

An Lan's name shook the world; who among the cultivators could rival him? It was a bloody history, a reputation forged on the bones of countless powerful figures—a name that shook the ages and swept across the nine heavens and ten earths!

Back then, there were many who could fight him, but in the end, they all perished, their bones buried for an era, their blood soaking the yellow earth.

An Lan, whose fame resounded throughout the world and whose power intimidated all, has traversed countless ages and swept away all his adversaries.

The moment the chariot appeared, An Lan moved.

A hand reached out from the chariot, slowly but powerfully, towards the heavens.

boom!

Boundless immortal symbols descended, chaos shattered, and unparalleled killing intent erupted—yet none of this could harm the hand in the slightest. A single hand, yet it held up the entire ancient city!

That hand possesses the power to support the heavens!

The Primal Imperial City couldn't suppress him; it was firmly held back. At this moment, even with the Heavenly Abyss on his back and the Primal Imperial City in his hands, An Lan still possessed an invincible aura!

"The city stands, we stand; the city falls, we fall! Kill!"

In the ancient city, several old men roared mournfully.

……

Haotian watched all of this quietly.

Diguan. Anlan.

He recognized this place.

At the same time, it also foresaw the devastation to come—the current tranquility of the Imperial Pass was merely a moment of peace before the storm.

Haotian gazed thoughtfully at the South Heavenly Gate.

The "immortals" of the Perfect World and the "immortals" of the Primordial World are not the same concept. The Primordial World is filled with innate spiritual energy and has a complete Dao, making immortality relatively easy. While the Perfect World also has substances for immortality, it is far inferior to that of the Primordial World, requiring greater strength to achieve immortality and be called an "immortal."

Just like the heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Court, they are also in the realm of immortals, but compared with the disciples of the Holy Sect of the same realm, the difference in combat power... those who know, know.

The commotion caused by Haotian and Yaochi arriving at the South Heavenly Gate also alerted other celestial beings in the Heavenly Court. Yaoji, Taibai Jinxing, Lu Ya, and Zhao Gongming all rushed over.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw on the screen.

Princess Yaoji, unable to contain herself, asked, "Brother, where is this?"

"This is another realm, a world beyond the primordial wilderness. The Southern Heavenly Gate has unexpectedly become connected to this realm," Haotian explained simply.

These words shocked everyone present.

The question of whether other worlds exist beyond the primordial wilderness has not gone unanswered. However, the chaos is vast and boundless, and many powerful beings have ventured out to explore, only to return empty-handed or never return. Over time, all living beings have come to believe that the primordial wilderness is the only one.

But now, the Heavenly Emperor tells them that beyond the primordial world, there exists another realm. Moreover, the Southern Heavenly Gate has already connected to it.

Seeing the different cultivation systems and the different paths of heaven and earth depicted on the screen, everyone's eyes lit up. What did this mean?

An opportunity to attain enlightenment!

The status of a sage in the primordial world is already predetermined, and proving one's Dao through force is far too difficult. If one could draw upon the Dao of other worlds, it might be much easier, and one might even be able to prove one's Dao in those worlds…

Thinking of this, a hint of fanaticism appeared in the eyes of Venus, Lu Ya, and Zhao Gongming.

Seeing their expressions, how could Haotian not know what they were thinking?

"This realm is in chaos, its inhabitants are suffering, and it lacks proper governance," Haotian slowly began. "As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, I cannot bear to see it in such disorder and the suffering of its people. I intend to go to this realm to quell the unrest. What do you, my beloved ministers, think?"

"Your Majesty is merciful! This is a blessing for this realm!" Venus immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, ruling over all heavens, overseeing all saints, and governing the creation of the universe, the nurturing of all things, the balance of the three realms, and the rule of all spirits..."

Venus spoke eloquently, making Lu Ya's lips curl into a smile, while Zhao Gongming felt ashamed of his own inferiority.

Haotian waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Alright, alright, save the flattery for later. What's important right now is how to deal with this world."

His gaze swept over the crowd, and his expression hardened slightly: "The experts in this realm are not to be underestimated."

Zhao Gongming clasped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, if I may be so bold as to ask—what is this person's strength equivalent to in the primordial world?"

He was referring to An Lan. The two worlds are not interconnected, and their realms are different, so it's normal that they couldn't see each other.

Haotian pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of cultivation level, he may not be as good as the Great Luo Immortal of the Primordial World. But in terms of combat strength, he is definitely one of the best among the Great Luo Immortals. The most crucial thing is that the rules of that world are different from those of the Primordial World, and the paths of the Great Dao are different, which will limit his strength."

Lu Ya asked, "Your Majesty, if we go to another realm, will the Heavenly Dao there be able to see through us? And then..." Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was clear—would they be suppressed or targeted by the Heavenly Dao?

Haotian shook his head: "No. The Heavenly Dao of that world is incomplete and has no power to intervene in worldly affairs, otherwise it would not allow turmoil to occur so frequently."

I will maintain your strength through the connection at the Southern Heavenly Gate, so that you will not be weakened.

After this chaos is quelled, further contemplation of the great principles of that world will be of great benefit to you.
