Chapter 3227 The Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders

Lin Xun's spirit sense moved like a comet through the endless void, flying past numerous chaos filled spaces. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly ‘saw’ a chaos realm so big it seemed boundless. Accompanying this realm was a sinister aura full of a taboo flavor.

An intense premonition arose in Lin Xun's mind: he would die the second he entered it! However, he was not scared by this but instead happy. He knew that Chen Xi, Alpha Origin, and that swordsman had also sensed this taboo aura long ago, the kind of aura so menacing that no one had ever dared to take a step beyond it.

It proved that the chaos realm he was ‘seeing’ at this moment was the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders! Without any concern or hesitation, Lin Xun's spirit sense swept straight towards the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders like a sharp bolt cutting through the fog.

Upon entering the chaos-shrouded land, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling. It was as if he had found the trajectory of the great dao and followed it into its nest. Every inch of the boundless chaos had marks of the dao. There was no need to even try to search for and grasp their existence; one just naturally perceived them.

At the same time, however, there also existed an unknown dangerous aura. It drifted around in this chaos world, full of taboo and destruction!

“Within that dangerous aura, there is an energy that is the origin of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity...” Lin Xun instantly honed in on a familiar sinister energy.

As early as in the Great Thousand Worlds, he had fathomed the nature of ‘calamity’ from their collective primal chaos origin. The changes of everything under the heavens and the flow of time all contained the aura of calamity. It was precisely because of this existence that everything presented the opposition and balance of life and death, demise and birth.

Calamities themselves were neither good nor evil. Anything that had life had calamities to cross. One either resolved a calamity and gained a fortune or died trying.

The Great Silence Unlife Calamity was the same. Containing the word ‘life,’ it was a fated tribulation targeting Immeasurable cultivators. Born with every epochal shift, it was a universal pattern of the great dao like the Five Dao Decays.

Alpha Origin had only been able to borrow and interfere with the Great Silence Unlife Calamity because he had spent millennia in the Realm of All Mysteries studying the origin of calamity.

The Heavenly Mandate Apostles and Alpha Origin Bell that appeared alongside a Great Silence Unlife Calamity came from Alpha Origin only. Meanwhile, the calamity itself was related to the dao of life, meaning any Immeasurable experts that emerged in this Chaos Era would have to face it. It did not deliberately target specific individuals.

Those who overcame the calamity lived, and those who failed to do that died. This was one of the ways of life.

In his train of thought, Lin Xun's spirit sense rushed towards the energy of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Gradually, that energy amidst the chaos grew stronger and clearer in his perception, causing his heart to palpitate.

The next moment, his spirit sense seemed to break into a raging world of calamity. It was a scene of pure horror, filled with obscure calamitous phenomena: dancing electric snakes, flickering lightning, and destructive turbulence sweeping through the void.

Lin Xun's mind was put under pressure, but at the same time he received waves of wonderful enlightenment. Imprinted with the various mysteries of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity, this was indeed its place of origin!

Huh?

In his spirit sense, Lin Xun saw the shadow of a bell. This shadow, condensed entirely from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity's origin power, floated among this realm. There was no way to imagine its size as it filled every inch of space. However, when one looked closely, it was actually only nine inches tall.

“The Alpha Origin Bell!” Lin Xun was shaken. “Hold on, it's not it. This is just a shadow transformed by the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. The real Alpha Origin Bell is long gone.”

After some pondering, Lin Xun understood. Alpha Origin must have sensed this realm and perceived the power of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. In order to utilize it, he had placed the Alpha Origin Bell here for it to be tempered and infused by the Great Silence Unlife Calamity day and night.

In this way, a unique connection had been created between the Alpha Origin Bell and the origin power of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Thus, Alpha Origin could easily access the latter by simply using the former!

“When you understand something inside out, you'd realize it's nothing more than that.”

Lin Xun's spirit sense immediately left this realm and continued to fly towards the depths of the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders. Along the way, he sensed many subtle but unimaginable auras, among which were forces that he was quite familiar with such as fortune, fate, karma, and spacetime...

When he detected the aura of the Spirit Empowerment World, his heart trembled. His spirit sense shot straight in its direction and, sure enough, he soon felt the origin of the Spirit Empowerment World in that chaos.

“It's exactly the same as what I saw inside the Eternity Door. Alpha Origin was right, the Spirit Empowerment World is in a corner of this Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders... But one's spirit sense can only perceive it, not intervene in any way...”

Lin Xun recalled his battle with Alpha Origin's Will Dharma Form in the Spirit Empowerment World and couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart. At that time, was the true Alpha Origin observing everything through his spirit sense like this?

After what felt like half a day, Lin Xun resumed probing into what was before him. Only, as time passed, he began to feel strained. This Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders was too big, it was almost like it had no boundaries.

“With the power of my spirit, I should be able to hold on for a while longer...” Lin Xun had no intention of stopping this exploration session. His spirit sense continued to sweep forward. On the way, he reviewed the insights gained from Alpha Origin, Chen Xi, and that swordsman, which allowed him to smoothly comprehend some of the mysteries perceived.

“This... The power of reincarnation!”

Suddenly, Lin Xun's spirit sense captured a trace of a mysterious aura that was different from the rest, and he immediately followed it. At that moment, he seemingly ‘saw’ a complete cycle of reincarnation. Life and death alternated without end. There were the unbelievable sights of perdition, extradition, termination, and rebirth of souls.

“It's just as Senior Chen Xi said, reincarnation is also a dao of life. His Precious River Map must have been born in this reincarnation origin...”

When he had discussed the dao of reincarnation with Chen Xi the other day, the latter had not held anything back and instead shared his whole understanding of the dao of reincarnation with him.

This had given Lin Xun enhanced knowledge of the secret of reincarnation. Therefore, as he was now sensing the origin power of reincarnation, he underwent a kind of experience he could never have had otherwise.

Even after reading ten thousand books, one still remained limited to an extent until they finally traveled ten thousand miles. Consulting the topic with Chen Xi was a kind of harvest, and when Lin Xun intimately witnessed it in person, this harvest turned into comprehension that solidified as a part of his dao.

After this long stop, his spirit sense once again marched on. He forgot about the passage of time. In fact, in the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders, there was no time flow in the ordinary sense.

As his spirit sense kept capturing more and more arcane mysteries in its flight, he was occasionally amazed, at times mesmerized, sometimes creeped out, and other times reached an epiphany...

Later on, Lin Xun finally dared to confirm with certainty a conclusion that Chen Xi, Alpha Origin, and that swordsman had arrived at after exploring the mysteries here: This Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders was the origin of the All-Wonder Dominion. It held the mysteries of the dao of life, and there was a marvelous link between it and the other three great dao dominions.

All of a sudden, a sense of exhaustion surged through Lin Xun. Only then did he realize that his spirit strength had been greatly depleted. Meanwhile, looking in front, this Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders still had no boundaries to be seen.

Right at this moment, the Boat of Eternity on him abruptly trembled. Then, it shot out of the Hidden Domain like a streak of light and zoomed through the heavy chaos of the Realm of All Mysteries, following the direction where Lin Xun's spirit sense was spreading...

“The Boat of Eternity!” The golden cicada was the first to notice it, and his pupils constricted. This was a variable that no one had thought of!

Bodhi said, “Perhaps, Lin Xun has sensed mysteries concerning the origin of the Boat of Eternity.”

They both had long known that the Boat of Eternity was a mysterious treasure that had flown out from the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders a long time ago and ended up in the grasp of Alpha Origin. However, due to the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, it had strayed into the outside world and wound up in Lin Xun's hands.

“The Boat of Eternity...” Deep underground of the Taihun Domain, Alpha Origin murmured, “This is an expected variable, but still, what kind of effect will it have on Lin Xun's spiritual exploration of the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders...?”

There was a faint, strange emotion in his voice. Originally, this treasure had belonged to him!

“My Lord, Lin Xun has only been at it for seven days, but the mysteries he’s perceived from the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders are a little too many, aren't they...” Black Crow couldn't help but comment.

“With the insights he got from me, Chen Xi, and that swordsman, it would be abnormal if he had little harvest.” Alpha Origin said, “Besides, he carries the Nirvana principle and is himself an unpredictable variable. The more arcana he can fathom from the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders, the better. Just wait, what he will gain after the Boat of Eternity gets there is what’s most worth looking forward to!”

In the Hongling Domain, a curious Chen Linkong asked, “Grandfather, have you ever deduced the origin of this Boat of Eternity?”

Chen Xi said softly, “Like the River Map, it came from the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders as a chaos object born from that land’s origin. Long ago, that swordsman and I put our heads together and surmised that those two were not the only chaos objects of such origin. Also, the Boat of Eternity should correctly be the Boat of Life, for it was born in the Forbidden Zone of Life.

“The other day, Young Friend Lin and I also talked about this treasure. According to him, this treasure opens an Eternity Door that leads directly into the Spirit Empowerment World. We both supposed that the Boat of Eternity was a key produced from the primal chaos origin of the Spirit Empowerment World, but considering what has happened today, the origin of this treasure is obviously not so simple...”

Chen Linkong was stunned. “So to speak, its appearance at this juncture is a variable?”

“Indeed so.” Chen Xi said, “Will what it'll bring to our young friend be a blessing or a curse, I wonder...”
