Chapter 1171: Gate of the Source (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Nine Continents Tower.

Five continents and four seas.

Southern Flame Continent, Fire Toad Cave, 12 countries… Cloud Mountain Parlour.

Boom! Crack!

Black clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. A thick bolt of lightning that looked like a waterfall illuminated the entire pitch-black night sky for a short period of time. At this moment, a figure slowly appeared in the black clouds.

It was Shen Ping, who had descended to this place through the rules of time. He looked at this familiar and unfamiliar market, and memories flashed across his heart. His gaze pierced through the clouds and landed on a wooden house in Red Willow Alley. He saw himself making talismans on the wooden table.

Boom. Another bolt of lightning appeared. He, who was once a middle-aged man, stood up and walked to the wooden window, looking at the clouds.

Shen Ping seemed to have sensed something and also looked up into the depths of the clouds. He saw a large amount of lightning wrapped around a stream of light and falling into the wooden house at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the stream of light fused with him.

He was stunned.

“Virtual frame… Could it be that the golden finger I activated did not transmigrate over, but was a great opportunity in this world?!” This subverted what he had always known. Even though he had grown to become an eminence of the Upper River Zone who had grasped 90% of the laws of time, he had never thought that his virtual frame was not a cheat! “What the hell is this light?”

Shen Ping’s eyes were deep. He turned back time again and followed the stream of light in the lightning. From the Nine Continents Tower to the Immortal Dao Domain, and then to the Chaos Origin, he continued forward. His eyes seemed to be able to see the past and future as he kept walking forward. Following the stream of light, he saw the river of time and the Upper River Zone.

In the end, it stopped at the source of the long river of time. The light at the source was extremely dazzling. It was even wider and larger than the elders of the Primordial Palace. In front of it, the River of Time was like a slender river compared to the vast sea.

Vaguely, he seemed to have seen a figure in the center of the dazzling source, but his gaze quickly returned to the sky above Red Cloud Market.

“What is that? Could it be the Palace Master of the Primordial Palace? I’m afraid only the leaders of the three main forces can enter the source!”

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that the stream of light was very likely something these figures were fighting for. In the end, it rushed out of the source and landed in the Lower River Zone. Then, it landed in the Nine Continents Tower and was fused by him.

But this was definitely not a coincidence. After all, the things in the source had landed here, and the existences at the source could see the past and the future. They would definitely be able to trace it to him, but in the end, he was still fine.

Therefore, he guessed that this stream of light might be able to block everything, or that it had fallen on him according to the Supreme Law.

“Let’s keep going back!” Shen Ping took a deep breath. He had only gone back in time to be safe, but he did not expect to see this scene. Back then, he had been muddle-headed for 20 years. He thought that the way he opened it was wrong, but it was not.

Now, if he wanted to know the cause and effect, he could only find the answer from his true spirit. However, not long after, he frowned. The person he found in the reincarnation true spirit was not him at all, but the original owner. There was nothing special about his true spirit reincarnation, but he could not find it even after searching his soul.

He’s not from this world. At least until now, he had not found the Earth in his previous life. The trail ends here. “Forget it. No matter what, if I obtain this stream of light from the source, it will be my opportunity!”

Until now, Shen Ping finally understood why he could rely on the virtual frame to obtain the power of the dark river. It turned out that this thing was a treasure that had flowed from the source.

He shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. He left a mental mark on his past self. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Yu Yan, the neighbor of the wooden house. There was actually a faint attraction on her body. One had to know that he was now at the Primordial Chaos Realm! Even the treasures in the River of Time could not attract him.

He walked out of the clouds and appeared in front of Yu Yan, who was taking a bath. The other party’s graceful jade body was revealed. Through her jade body, Shen Ping saw a ball of light. This light actually came from the same source as the light that had fused into his body.

When he took a closer look, he couldn’t find anything. This made Shen Ping even more surprised. What was going on? Why did Yu Yan have the source in her body? However, she had been his concubine and Dao companion for so many years and did not notice it at all. Even now, when he extracted her true spirit from the chaotic river of time, there was nothing special.

Splash.

Shen Ping retracted his will and was already in the Nine Provinces Chaos. He came to the palace in the depths of the Chaos Origin and looked at Yu Yan, who was teaching the descendants of the bloodline. At this moment, there was nothing unusual about her.

“Was it an illusion?” He frowned. Then, he rewound time and arrived above the flashing Red Cloud Workshop. His mind and will converged in the depths of the lightning. When he saw the stream of light, his eyes immediately swept towards Yu Yan.

Indeed, the moment the stream of light landed, Yu Yan’s body lit up, but when the stream of light completely fused with her, the light dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

Standing in the clouds, he fell into deep thought. From the scene just now, it had been confirmed that it was definitely not a coincidence that the source of the stream of light could land on him. This was the operation of the supreme law, and it was fate’s arrangement.
