First Immortal of the Sword - Chapter 2812 - The Far Shore is Already in My Heart
Chapter 2812 – The Far Shore is Already in My Heart
A scroll arose in Su Yi’s mind. Within it, countless stars churned amidst an endlessly shifting chaos starscape. Countless mysteries arose instantaneously.
Suddenly, a figure shot out of the city, flew beneath the dome of heaven, and swung his arm.
Countless star corpses plummeted down to the earth, becoming the Star Graves littering the ground.
That figure, meanwhile, leaped deeper into space.
His robes billowed around him as the chaos aura permeating the starscape poured into his sleeves.
In the end, he arrived in the far reaches of the starry sky, then abruptly stopped in place and drew his finger through the air.
Nine stars lined up in front of him, each enormous beyond imagination.
Yet before that grand figure, they looked like mere children’s toys.
It was obvious how grand and enormous that figure was. The starscape could barely contain him!
In the end, that figure suddenly laughed. “Destiny is not uncrossable. The Far Shore is already in my heart!
“The Nine Luminaries are the Limit, and the Devastation in the End. This final seat of the Grand Dao is now mine!”
Every word went off like an invocation of the Grand Dao, shaking the entire boundless stretch of stars.
In the end, that figure waved his sleeve through the air, and the nine hovering stars exploded into nine dazzling arcs of Dao Light. They fell from the endless starscape and landed in the world of men.
Against all expectations, all nine arcs of light landed here in the ancient city.
That enormous figure, meanwhile, walked further and further into the stars. Before long, he’d vanished completely.
Su Yi’s heart shook, and that unbelievable scene dissipated.
A long time passed before he managed to calm down. He’d gleaned a lot of information from that vision.
During the Devastation, someone once left the Ancient Nine Luminaries City and soared into the sky, destroying countless stars with a swing of his arm!
Countless Star Graves had littered the Nine Luminaries Forbidden Zone ever since.
That man had walked on the wind, refining chaos with a swing of his sleeves. He had mastered the Laws of the Nine Luminaries, and in the end, he saw through the mysteries of the Far Shore of Destiny, transcending the River of Destiny in a single attempt.
That was why he said that Destiny was not uncrossable, and that the Far Shore was already in his heart.
There was no doubt about it. That man had mastered the Laws of the Nine Luminaries by the time of the Devastation. Moreover, Su Yi suspected that he was a Heavenly Monarch!
And that he had since reached the Far Shore of Destiny!
But Su Yi still didn’t understand what the man meant by “the Nine Luminaries are the Limit, and the Devastation in the End.”
He didn’t get what the man meant when he said “this final seat of the Grand Dao is now mine,” either.
Su Yi racked his brains, but in the end, he concluded that during the Devastation, the Laws of the Nine Luminaries were considered an opportunity to reach the Far Shore of Destiny. Whoever mastered the Laws of the Nine Luminaries could transcend the River of Destiny and reach its Far Shore, acquiring the “final” seat of the Grand Dao. Rather, during the Devastation, the last remaining method of reaching the Far Shore of Destiny lay in mastering the Laws of the Nine Luminaries.
But of course, all of this was mere conjecture on Su Yi’s part.
He was most curious about who that man was and just what kind of legend he had left in the Ancient Nine Luminaries City.
Su Yi tried his best to recall what the man looked like, only to draw a blank. He couldn’t picture him at all!
Suddenly, Su Yi recalled something that his first incarnation’s heart devil had said way back in the God Domain.
Old Lord Gouchen was from the All-Profound Dominion. He was one of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Heavenly Ministers!
Su Yi had asked the heart devil who the Three Pure Ones and the Four Heavenly Ministers were, but he got no explanation. All the heart devil said was that all of this was ancient history, and that there was no telling how much the Far Shore of Destiny had changed over the years.
But he did at least tell Su Yi that the Far Shore of the River of Destiny had Three Pure Ones, Four Heavenly Ministers, Five Elders, Six Celestials, Seven Origins, Eight Extremes, and Nine Luminaries.
Maybe the man who’d mastered the Laws of the Nine Luminaries was fighting for the seat that represented the “Nine Luminaries” as a whole?
Su Yi couldn’t wrap his head around it.
It was a pity that although his first incarnation’s heart devil was a chatterbox, he was extremely tight-lipped when it came to the Far Shore of Destiny. Otherwise, Su Yi could have gotten closer to the truth just by asking a few questions.
That man once walked the streets of the Ancient Nine Luminaries City, a place that has existed since the time of the Devastation. That means he’s sure to have left his mark on this place!
I’ll have to investigate. If I do, I might well find clues.
It was then that someone suddenly exclaimed, “What kind of Laws of the Grand Dao are these? Their aura is so terrifying!”
“That’s the Lunar Luminary! Part of the Laws of the Nine Luminaries! I wouldn’t have thought yet another would grasp such powerful Laws of the Grand Dao!”
“Lian Yue entered the Lunar Palace and refined its Supreme Yin Soul Essence. She’s like a radiant moon personified. It’s not at all unreasonable that she’s managed to grasp the Laws of the Lunar Luminary.”
Everyone was talking at once.
Su Yi looked over and saw a strange phenomenon arise on the Starry Stele.
Moonlight poured down like water, and an illusory, brilliant moon floated above Lian Yue’s head.
The Starry Stele rumbled and boomed, and misty chaos power billowed forth. All of it wrapped around Lian Yue, making her cross-legged figure seem illusory, ethereal, and mysterious.
All eyes were instantly upon her. When they took in that radiant moonlight, their expressions shifted, filling with jealousy, envy, and dread…
Even those seated on the other lotus platforms reacted.
The Laws of the Nine Luminaries were the greatest good fortune available in the Nine Luminaries Forbidden Zone, but despite the passage of countless years, no one had ever managed to master them in their entirety.
However, a handful of blessed sons and daughters of fortune had managed to acquire the Laws of the Lunar, Water, Metal, and Earth Luminaries separately.
Even that was considered an absolutely unparalleled stroke of good fortune!
Now, just seven days after entering the Nine Luminaries Forbidden Zone, Lian Yue had acquired the Laws of the Lunar Luminary. Who wouldn’t have been shaken? Who wouldn’t have been envious?
Su Yi glanced at it briefly, then retracted his gaze.
He exerted his will, and an ancient, primeval illusory moon arose in his heart.
It was like the first moon following the initial parting of primordial chaos, ancient and ancestral.
Anything that could be described as “ancestral” hid enormous mysteries. These included the first stars, the first mountains, and the first fires, as well as the first person to contemplate the Dao and the first to reach a new level of cultivation. All of them were blessed with great fortune!
The same was true of the Laws of the Grand Dao.
Take two otherwise similar Grand Daos connected to fire. If one was connected to the first flames, the Ancestral Fire, it would naturally be the ancestor of all other Daos of Fire!
And the moon hovering over Su Yi’s palm was like the first moon following the initial parting of chaos.
The ancestor of all moons!
These were the Laws of the Lunar Luminary.
It was just that no one knew it.
“Ee?” Lian Yue suddenly sensed something. She turned to look at Su Yi.
Su Yi’s expression didn’t so much as shift. He feigned ignorance.
In truth, he felt a bit strange about it; after grasping the Laws of the Lunar Luminary, he felt a strange, invisible connection between himself and Lian Yue.
This was the connection that existed between “similar people.”
Lian Yue pondered briefly, then understood. Her bright eyes shone with a hint of strange light. But in the end, she looked away without saying a word.
Although she didn’t say anything, Su Yi knew that she must have assumed he’d relied on the Toad Palace Pearl to sense the Laws of the Lunar Luminary.
Su Yi didn’t feel the need to explain anything to her. He just cast aside his scattered thoughts and focused on sensing the mysteries of the Lunar Luminary.
Outside the city, the Tide of Calamity raged on. Heaven and earth were shrouded in darkness.
A full day passed before the Tide of Calamity gradually died down.
The cultivators gathered throughout the city were long since overcome with eagerness. The Tide of Calamity had barely faded when they shot through the city gates to explore the rest of the forbidden zone.
The fiercer the wind and waves, the more precious the fish.
Whenever the Tide of Calamity swept through the Nine Luminaries Forbidden Zone, it brought hidden good fortune to the surface!
The cultivators knew that the next seven days would be their ideal opportunity to search for good fortune.
Yun Qiaojun, Liu Tianchen, and Wen Xiuran got to work, too. The way they saw it, although there was plenty of good fortune to be had in the city, the cultivators of the Five Great Continents had effectively monopolized it. There was no way they could get their hands on any of it.
But they weren’t the only ones. Numerous cultivators of the Five Great Continents left the city, too.
Meanwhile, Old Yao Kun Peng, Bi Yunzi, Granny Snake, and Fu Yong were discussing their plans in the Forgotten Palace.
“Has Su Yi left?”
“No, he went to the Signal Fire Platform. It seems he wants to keep hunting for good fortune within city limits.”
“Is that so? Good, that makes things simple. So long as he stays in the city, we won’t have to worry about anything going wrong.”
All of them had been worried that Su Yi would leave the city to hunt for good fortune elsewhere in the Nine Luminaries Forbidden Zone.
Fortunately, Su Yi had done nothing of the sort!
The old monsters instantly felt much more relaxed. Waiting and enduring were torment enough already. If they had to just watch as their prey slipped away, they’d die of anger.
“Who claimed his Divine Contemplation Lotus Platform?” Bi Yunzi asked with a laugh.
“No one.” Granny Snake shook her head. “That is, no one dared.”
The others were stunned, and their expressions darkened considerably.
Su Yi had already left, but no one had the guts to claim his former spot. Their Unfettered Realm juniors were just too embarrassing!
Fu Yong sighed. “By now, all of them know that Su Yi killed Xue Sheng and Wu Xun. Who’d dare to risk the brunt of his fury?”
Actually, the Divine Contemplation Lotus Platforms had shifted hands many times over already. Su Yi wasn’t the only one to have left; Lian Yue, Xia Rouyun, and several other unparalleled figures had left.
Some left the city altogether, while others searched other parts of it for good fortune.
But their seats didn’t remain empty. Their sectmates quickly took over.
Only Su Yi’s spot remained vacant.
He hadn’t issued any threats, nor did he say no one could take his spot after he left.
Nonetheless, no one dared to risk it!
It was thus immediately obvious just how great Su Yi’s infamy was among his fellows!
