Cultivation through Skin Making - Chapter 817 282: Three Realms United, Preaching the Dao and Sealing the Emperor (13,000 Characters - Grand Finale)_5

The couple appeared anxious; they were Xiao Hanshan and Hua Xianggu. In the past, they joined the Bai Family and later escaped with them to the Purple Cloud Heaven. Now, suddenly summoned by the Bai Family’s patriarch, they were understandably uneasy.

After a long while, the Bai Family patriarch lowered his finger and smiled faintly, “Finally… sensed it.”

A touch of indifferent divinity flashed in his eyes as he gazed deeply toward a place in the vast Sea of Suffering.

Meanwhile…

The person here was a disheveled and crazed woman.

The woman claimed to be Song Taixuan.

At this moment, she sensed an opportunity, and in an instant, countless Divine Souls were released from around her. These souls were all shackled and under her control; this was the Power of the “Chang” character.

Song Taixuan’s gaze quickly fixed on one Divine Soul, which was dressed in beautiful white clothes, Hua Linglong, or rather “Celestial Venerable” Yun Zhaoxuan…

Then, Song Taixuan’s gaze turned to several other Divine Souls.

There was a fairy with silver hair reachin her waist, dressed in plain white clouds, named Xiao Shuyu; a tall, thin man with blue-gray skin and sunken belly, named Wang Youquan; a righteous-looking male cultivator with sunken eyes, named Tang Yi; and others…

There were quite a few, and what they all had in common was their connection to Song Yan, fallen to this state through various means. Especially, the “Celestial Venerable” Yun Zhaoxuan had her Power seized by Song Taixuan, who emerged from the depths of the Nine Heavens, leveraging the convenience of the “Chang”.

Of course, the “Chang” had also long surpassed its original level, reaching an inconceivable tier.

Both Black Wa and Bai Wa sought to climb out from the depths of the Nine Heavens, but differently. The former hitched a ride on a “Realm Spirit”, while the latter forcibly climbed towards the human realm using the leaked Wa Text Curse.

Every climb of the latter would drag its targets into the Nine Heavens, but it also helped them advance further. The strong would take a big step, the weak a small step.

At this point, Song Taixuan slightly parted her red lips, crazily saying, “I know where Bai Wa is.”

As her words sounded, they turned into reality; Bai Wa’s location naturally revealed.

With an eerie expression, Song Taixuan appeared at the village entrance in the next moment and locked eyes with the Bai Family patriarch, who had been there; “It’s time,” she said.

…

…

“Father! I succeeded, I succeeded.”

Po Xu Yuzhuang was exceedingly happy.

After countless years, her Lifebound Talisman finally took shape.

It was a stroke.

A horizontal stroke, representing “One”. It looked like Saint Xi’s “One”, but was entirely different.

Moreover, this “One” was extremely vague, clearly incomplete.

Song Yan looked at Po Xu Yuzhuang, and with the clear waters of the Sea of Suffering, the effect of obscuring Cause and Effect was much reduced. As Po Xu Yuzhuang formed the “One”, he saw two extremely thick lines of Cause and Effect on her body—one leading deep into Purple Cloud Heaven, the other vanishing beneath the Nine Heavens.

Song Yan cast his eyes toward Scorching Heaven of the third layer of the Nine Heavens.

There, the flames had notably diminished.

“Enlightenment of the Celestial Demon Obsession of the Sea of Suffering”, to some degree, was even reducing the fuel of “Scorching Heaven”.

The fuel endless, the fire unextinguished.

At this moment, the Sea of Suffering had become much clearer, and naturally, the flames reduced.

‘Is this the meaning of enlightening obsessions?’ Song Yan silently mused.

At that moment, the Other Shore Tree’s roots had already intertwined and spread vast like countless giant dragons, entwining and spiraling. The branches supported red blossoms, as large as the heavens, and a wafting floral scent gathered, finally piercing through the diminished flames and opening the gate to the fourth heaven.

The fourth heaven was called Desolate Heaven.

Endless deserts, the sky ashen, infinitely empty.

With the opening of the celestial gate above, the grains of yellow sand in the desert suddenly moved violently, as wild Earth Qi filled every direction.

The accumulated floral scent did not pause but continued forward, breaking through layer upon layer of the Nine Heavens World’s seals.

The fifth heaven, Shadowy Heaven.

Realm of Eternal Night, only faint light exists here; all things are remnants of ancient times, unknown why they remain unextinguished, but… they all become shadows, swaying like deep-sea phantoms.

When the floral scent descended, these shadows suddenly stilled, then emitted a strange, sharp cheer, following the floral scent yet without breaking it, crawling outwards, pausing at Desolate Heaven.

It was then that Song Yan realized that these shadows were actually water.

They were furious waters that had gained life, the elemental water of the Five Elements.

The sixth heaven, Ruins Flame Heaven.

Floating islands shattered, once the dwellings of ancient Immortals and Divines, and the place with the most Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, now ruins.

With the celestial gate open, from the ruins’ bricks slithered out thin red threads…

The threads grew quickly, turning into red cords, red snakes, red pythons, red jiaos, red dragons, a devastating red light rising upward from below, a reverse flow.

This was the maddened fire of the Five Elements.

Water overcomes fire, thus fire stalls.

The seventh heaven, Longevity Heaven.

This world was nearly completely frozen, Divine Soldiers eternally suspended in time and space.

Now, with Longevity Heaven’s gate opening, the eternal frost melted.

Divine Soldiers converged into a river, surging upwards.

And beyond the Divine Soldiers were countless golden dust, twirling in their wake, soon forming a golden storm.

This was the gold of the Five Elements.

The eighth heaven, Void Heaven.

This realm was a stark contrast to the previous world’s destruction, it was a pristine cloud sea.

In this cloud sea, a vast tree shaded the universe. Upon closer inspection, the tree was composed of countless trees.

Seemingly sensing something, the trees manifested long vines, reaching into the sky.

This was the wood of the Five Elements.

The floral scent continued unyieldingly…
