Chapter 1150: Chapter 1052: Seizing the Forbidden Path Marks

“Why haven’t we found it yet!”

“The power of Samsara has traced through the entirety of time and space, how could we not find any trace of their last incarnation?”

“Could it be that their last incarnation died before being born… thus leaving no trace in the world?”

“It’s possible that if the power of the original curse is too strong, they might have died right at birth! But even so, there should be some semblance of a shadow…”

The power of Samsara continues to replay time and space, but within them, not a single shadow emerges.

The ancient ghosts of the Youxu Realm were getting anxious.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the curtain.

Grey mist roils, and a dark shadow flashes past as if waiting, ready to break through the curtain and enter this realm at any moment!

“Impossible, the power of Samsara can trace everything between heaven and earth… how could it be like this?”

“The End of Myriad Paths, do you see? There is no trace of them anywhere, you have failed, vanish!”

A few giant ghosts couldn’t hold back anymore, they suddenly stretched their terrifying giant claws from the Youxu Realm, heading towards the grave at the End of Myriad Paths.

But just approaching that grave, their gigantic hands almost completely vanished.

They dare not appear directly in the mortal realm; their powers are limited, and The End of Myriad Paths is too strong, thus they cannot be shaken.

“What should we do, we can’t find any trace of those people, and the grave at The End of Myriad Paths cannot be opened.”

“This grave buries her obsession, only the last incarnation of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones appearing, or dying, could possibly end it.”

These ancient ghosts were whispering in difficulty.

“No, wait! Someone’s coming!”

But at this moment, an ancient ghost with only a pair of ghostly eyes suddenly spoke.

In the boiling Sea of Karma, suddenly a man steps forth on True Dragon’s Blood Qi, with an astounding aura, emerging from the Sea of Karma!

“The man from the Martial Path… it’s him! His last incarnation has appeared!”

In the Youxu Realm, a group of ancient ghosts became excited at once.

“No wait, this seems… not to be a spirit, but a living person?”

But then, they were all shocked.

Long Zixuan’s blood qi was too vigorous, not at all like a remnant spirit from the ages, but a living human.

“He resisted the original curse and has grown, reaching the ‘Cavern-Truth Realm’!”

“Incredible!”

But, following that, other figures appeared one after another.

Nan Feng, carrying a zither, with a demeanor surpassing this world, like a heavenly maiden.

Zi Ling, carrying a drawing board, dressed in a purple robe, lively beyond measure.

Lu Rang, holding green herbs, dressed simplistically, like a farmer.

Dugu Yuqing, elegant and scholarly.

Qing Chen, although holding a broom, transcended the mundane, like a Buddha’s child.

Jiang Li, with a mild demeanor, seemingly harmless, like a chess child.

Wu Dade, robust in build, holding a golden-spiked “Wolf Fang Club,” fondling it absently.

Lin Jiu Zheng, wearing a Daoist robe made from hemp, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

Su Baiqian, with a medicine pouch at her waist and a medicine box hanging on her, her eyes pure.

Xinning walking hands behind his back, despite only appearing eight or nine years old, exuding immense dominance, like a demon lord.

Jiang Xue, dressed in white surpassing snow, as cold as an iceberg.

Twelve people… all have arrived.

“All twelve paths have appeared!”

“They haven’t died!”

“The curse from the original source failed… Why? In their youth, they should have been disturbed by karma, destined for a tumultuous life, and shouldn’t have been able to grow up like this…”

The group of giant ghosts opened their mouths in surprise.

Then, hearing this, Wu Dade suddenly said:

“What? Curse?”

“Fuck, no wonder I had such a bitter life before meeting Master… I nearly couldn’t continue!”

Swearing, he said:

“So there was a bastard plotting against me secretly!”

The others also felt something.

-In the Yin Realm, before meeting Li Fan, their destinies… indeed were quite tumultuous.

Nan Feng and Zi Ling, in a small sect named the Three Absolutes Holy Land in the Xuantian Realm, were greatly ostracized.

Long Zixuan, though a prince of a kingdom, like Lu Rang, were scorned, looked down upon, and when they went to find Li Fan, they were even prepared to die.

Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen, once sought the path fruitlessly, Qing Chen even had his origin destroyed once.

…

Each one… suffered immensely!!

Those who were once stunning figures in the timeless cosmos, even in their last life, known as the Ten Honored and Two Vicious, who had powered through the Grey Mist Sea, why did they live so miserably in the Yin Realm before meeting Li Fan…

Now they finally understood the answer.

Their incarnation in this life, cursed by the so-called original source, despite the blockade of a massive curtain and the endless spans of time and space, their fate’s trajectory was still being disturbed.

Until… they met Li Fan.

That disturbance was completely blocked, unable to affect them any longer!

“They actually survived… This is inconceivable…”

“Shall we kill them?”

“No! Although we lack the courage to fight against the original source again, it’s also not right to commit such a heartless act… Let them be! Pretend we didn’t see them!”

The many ancient ghosts whispered, finally restrained, and did not make a move.

And Nan Feng and the others, having emerged from the Long River of Karma, appeared on this Forbidden Ancient Path.

They headed towards that solitary grave.

At this moment, that solitary grave suddenly cracked!

The solitary grave collapsed, and within it, a white path suddenly appeared, extending and branching into twelve directions!

That was… the road left for them by The End of Myriad Paths.

“Step on this path, directly reach the forbidden, and the ‘Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’… the journey can begin now.”

Jiang Li whispered:

“We, shall ascend!”

They pressed on without hesitation, heading towards that white path.

“Not good, that path left by the End of Myriad Dao leads them into the Forbidden World. Once they enter the Forbidden World… it might provoke an upheaval.”

Within the cycle of reincarnation, an old ghost whispered in horror.

“Even if we cannot intervene directly, we should not allow them to enter the Forbidden World. If they go, many who have hidden themselves might follow and stir up a catastrophe by attacking the source…”

“Restrain yourselves, do not act. We seek only reincarnation! Remember, we too once had our moments of passion, and even if now we can only struggle to survive, we must not act rashly!”

Even the old ghosts, upon seeing this scene, began to hesitate and argue!

But, at this moment.

Boom!

Behind the solitary grave, at the end of the Forbidden Ancient Path, the terrifying celestial curtain was suddenly lifted.

The grave harbored the End of Myriad Dao’s persistence; as long as this persistence existed it could suppress the curtain. Once the last of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones appeared and the persistence dissipated, the opposing force finally struck!

What appeared before their eyes was billowing grey mist!

The grey mist surged like tidal waves, resembling fierce primordial beasts seemingly devouring everything. Within the mist, strange spirits native to the grey mist stirred, inducing terror.

These mists all bore the essence of taboo!

For, these tides of grey mist originated from the Forbidden World.

Compared to the previous encounters in the Sea of Grey Mist… they were nothing!

This, this was the true Source of the Grey Mist, every inch of origin Qi nurturing indelible bizarre beings, extremely terrifying.

Within this swirling Grey Mist Origin Qi, there also lay a terrifying forbidden light, that forbidden light seemed to be the very source of heaven and earth, bearing the mighty forces of the cosmos.

Those were Forbidden Path Marks!

–The old ghosts of the Youxu Realm had already compromised with the grey mist of the Forbidden World.

The grey mist brought a Forbidden Path Mark, and in the reincarnation established by the old ghosts, it also left a place for the grey mist to permeate, sharing a part of it.

“Let’s battle!”

“The power of the Forbidden World, huh… this realm does not belong to you!”

At this moment, all of Li Fan’s disciples spoke up, they did not ascend the path directly, but faced the overwhelming grey mist head-on!

“With one sword, cleave the heavens!”

Dugu Yuqing waved his hand, his body’s white mist origin Qi surged out, transforming into Sword Qi, and with one slash, he pushed back the grey mist for a thousand li!

Then he charged into the grey mist!

“Clear the grey mist, seize the Path Marks!”

Qing Chen followed closely, not using the broom he brought from the courtyard, his hands moved like the wind, wildly maneuvering the white mist origin Qi to carve out a path!

Long Zixuan, Nan Feng, Wu Dade, Jiang Xue, and Su Baiqian charged forward together, tearing a path through the rolling grey mist!

“This area is all my chessboard, if I do not permit it, who dares to advance a step further?!”

Jiang Li stayed upon the ancient path, beneath his feet, black and white chess lines burst forth, severing the entire ancient path, blocking the entrance of the grey mist.

Beside him, Lu Rang, Lin Jiu Zheng, and Xinning, the four of them repelled the grey mist, not allowing a strand to enter onto the Forbidden Ancient Path!

“Kill!”

“Let’s fight!”

“Strange Spirit, eat a full force from this elder!”

At this moment, everyone unleashed their desperate strength.

They didn’t use the items they brought from the small mountain village… because they were still waiting!

This was a hunt, the shadow was hunting them… and they were also hunting the shadow!

“We’re close!

Blood trickled from the corners of Dugu Yuqing’s mouth, he stared forward and suddenly with all his might, he said:

“Lend me your strength!”

Instantly, Qing Chen, Wu Dade, and others behind him placed their palms on the back of the person in front, strength surged wildly, and finally converged onto Dugu Yuqing.

Dugu Yuqing, condensed a terrifying white mist Divine Sword, and with one strike, tore apart a corner of the dense Grey Fog Ocean!

The Forbidden Path Marks shrouded by the grey mist emitted a dazzling light!

“Senior Sister Zi Ling!”

Dugu Yuqing’s eyes were closed as he let out a loud shout.

And behind them, the figure of Zi Ling had already appeared.

“See clearly.”

She spoke softly, using blood as ink to paint!

She was painting… that Forbidden Path Mark.

At this moment, as if breaching a heavenly punishment, around Zi Ling, countless forces of Forbidden Karma bombarded her, seeking to destroy everything.

Forbidden Path Marks, even within the Forbidden World, were creations of fate, not to be profaned, much less depicted.

Yet Zi Ling held against everything, she continuously ingested many Spiritual Medicines, and finally, she drew down the Forbidden Path Marks she caught a glimpse of!

Boom!

At this moment, within the great tide of grey mist, those Forbidden Path Marks… disappeared directly!

“What… she actually captured the Forbidden Path Marks on a scroll?!”

“How could this be… she’s only in the “Cavern-Truth Realm”!”

“Truly deserving of being their final incarnation! So stunning!”

Within the Youxu Realm, nine old ghosts were all dumbfounded!

The Forbidden Path Marks from the Forbidden World, even they couldn’t easily touch it, but now, a young girl had captured it in this manner.

“If this incarnation grows… do you think… there might really still be hope? After all, they are the final incarnation of those individuals, containing the last light of the fire seed…”

An old ghost suddenly whispered lowly, his words seemed to carry a wisp of ethereal hope.

His question, however, rendered the other old ghosts silent.

“Don’t think foolishly… even that person has already perished, what difference does it make if it’s impressive?”

“Yes, even if it grows, it might just repeat the past tragedies.”

Many old ghosts sighed in their words, saying no more.

…

“Retreat, the Forbidden Path Marks have been obtained, this realm can now ascend to the Forbidden World.”

Within the grey mist, Zi Ling spoke, calling everyone to leave.

The surging grey mist was too much, like a terrifying tsunami, they pushed with all their might but could hardly stem it, only able to retreat.

But, it was at this moment.

Within the rolling grey mist, suddenly a black path manifested, heading towards them…

…
