Chapter 1155 - 1255: The Path of Exploration Paused

Perhaps among all these people, only Ye Tianfan had some vague understanding, as he could perceive that the lightning chasing them contained some form of fate.

So, Ye Tianfan could generally sense that their enemy was the heaven outside the wall.

However, what surprised Ye Tianfan was that he didn't expect Truth Original Master to actually detect this and openly state that their enemy was indeed the power of heaven and earth outside the wall.

This news shocked everyone further. After all, they didn't know why simply exploring the outside of the wall would summon the power of heaven and earth from beyond. Was this a case of hitting the young and inviting the old?

Everyone felt this situation was simply unbelievable.

If the heavens outside the wall truly intervened, then no one could resolve this issue. After all, fighting against the power of heaven and earth has never succeeded, let alone against the heavens outside the wall, which left no one an opportunity.

"How... how can this be? The power of heaven and earth, intervening in such matters?"

Everyone felt it was quite inconceivable. Previously, in the incident with the creatures from outside the wall, the power of heaven and earth inside the wall hadn't intervened; they'd relied on themselves to resolve it. But now, venturing outside the wall for exploration, they're interfered with by the power of heaven and earth outside the wall.

This isn't fair at all, like two kids fighting. You made me cry before, and I didn't tell anyone, but now I make you cry, and you bring your parents to retaliate against me. Anyone seeing this would think it's not a fair situation, but the heaven outside the wall indeed resorted to this unfair act.

At this point, the crowd was too shocked to speak further, as they didn't know how to articulate what was happening. They were facing an opponent they could not hope to confront—the heavens outside the wall. Anything involving the term 'heaven' was not something any person could resolve.

Moreover, there's never been a rumor in the entire heavens about someone overcoming heaven, even when individuals ascend to the immortal realm, none claimed to have defeated heaven.

Heaven's power is unfathomable; you can't comprehend it, even when you ascend to the immortal realm, you're still not a match for the celestial emperor. When you return from the immortal realm to the cultivation world, there would be suppression, and heaven won't offer any assistance because you've transcended, entered the immortal realm, which isn't his to govern anymore. Since it's not governed by heaven, there's no reason for heaven to help restore your spiritual power, at that point, it's termed immortal power.

So, without special circumstances, no one can defeat heaven. Despite heaven being a singular entity, the heavens beyond and within the wall are split into two, yet if truly reckoned, they're still a whole. Since they are a whole, neither heaven within nor outside the wall can perish.

For one heaven to perish, it would have to devour the other heaven, only then can they both remain safe.

If one heaven were truly eradicated, then the other can't hope to survive. They are intertwined in fate, so if either were vanquished by accident, the entire cultivation realm would collapse, reverting to primordial chaos.

So now, a problem arises.

The key issue is, everyone has to face a very awkward fact: postponing the exploration beyond the wall.

Because even if they continue to explore outside the wall, they would still face obstruction or possibly be killed by the power of heaven outside the wall. It has set its sights on Truth Original Master and if they press forward, they will still face harm from the heaven beyond the wall.

Moreover, Truth Original Master realized the heaven outside the wall isn't targeting just them but also other sects, targeting all beings within the wall.

However, this is quite amusing because it implies that creatures from outside the wall can enter at will without facing penalties from the power of heaven inside the wall. But if creatures within the wall enter outside, they will immediately face penalties from the heaven outside the wall, which certainly seems unfair.

But they had no choice; after all, this was a confrontation between the heavens outside and inside the wall which they couldn't intervene—and even if they wanted to, they couldn't. All of them combined are insignificant before the power of heaven, hence there's only one course left to them, to postpone the exploration beyond the wall.

Just as they were silent, suddenly they heard a commotion from outside, mixed with cries for help.

Truth Original Master, upon hearing the cries, immediately followed First Original Master to see what was happening.

Truth Original Master vaguely guessed that those seeking help might have encountered a similar plight.

Indeed, Truth Original Master's guess was confirmed. The one crying for help was Yu Shan from the Goodwill Sect, and the one gravely injured was the Sect Leader of Goodwill Sect.

First Original Master hurriedly brought the Sect Leader of Goodwill Sect to the treatment tent and began emergency treatment, while Ye Tianfan came out to comfort Yu Shan, as Truth Original Master had finished speaking, and now they needed rest; the crowd was taking this opportunity to let Truth Original Master rest more, as they came out to see if there was anything they could assist with.

Ye Tianfan comforted Yu Shan, only to hear Yu Shan lament, "They're all dead, so many have died, half of Goodwill Sect is gone, most of the Elders are dead, the Sect Leader is severely injured, of my generation, only three to five survive, Goodwill Sect is finished!"

As Yu Shan spoke, his complexion visibly turned gray!

Ye Tianfan saw this and immediately felt something was wrong. After all, Yu Shan was on the verge of demonic possession. So many had died, causing Goodwill Sect to descend from the second largest sect in the world to a second-tier sect, how could Yu Shan not be overwhelmed with anger?

Seeing this situation, Ye Tianfan promptly performed a spell, and infused spiritual power to his lips, shouting fiercely at Yu Shan: "Awaken!"

The power in Ye Tianfan's shout began to restore Yu Shan's grey complexion!

Yu Shan then realized he had been so exhausted that he was near demonic possession. If it weren't for Ye Tianfan, in this environment, Yu Shan would have surely turned into one of the creatures from outside the wall!
