Chapter 579: Chapter 577: A Great Upheaval is About to Begin

The Supreme New Domain would henceforth be called the Luochen Domain.

Jiang Jichen handed over the matter of constructing the sect’s mountain gate to Zhou Qiang.

And so, a massive construction project began in the Luochen Domain. All the disciples of the Luochen Sect threw themselves into the work with great enthusiasm.

For instance, a brawny Beastman carried a massive stone weighing one hundred thousand jin up Luocheng Mountain.

Or a Nascent Soul Old Monster, using a Magic Technique to move a ten-thousand-year-old giant tree.

Establishing a mountain gate was an immense undertaking.

But for the several thousand powerful cultivators of the Luochen Sect, it was an exceedingly easy task.

The Cultivation Resources here were limitless, so there was no need to worry about consuming Spiritual Power.

Moreover, using their Magic Techniques and physical strength like this actually boosted their Cultivation.

Afterward, Jiang Jichen ordered his people to build simple residences in the locations designated by Qing Xun and Blood Hand.

After settling these matters, Jiang Jichen began to explore the secret locations on the Map of the Supreme New Domain.

There were many forbidden lands here. Even as the master of the Map of the Supreme New Domain, he was not omniscient or omnipotent.

For example, there was an Endless Abyss, and no one knew what lay at its bottom.

There was also a Mist Valley, a completely isolated region that was difficult to probe even with Divine Thought.

Therefore, places like these were not on the Purple Jade Map.

It was said that these were mysterious places that did not exist within the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

However, since these places were within the Supreme New Domain, they naturally belonged to Jiang Jichen.

Without Jiang Jichen’s permission, no one could enter.

Jiang Jichen now appeared before a mysterious, ancient tomb.

This was a Heavenly Burial Land, but the aura emanating from within was highly unusual.

It was chilling and grim, giving off a terrifying feeling.

From his senses alone, he knew this was a place of great malevolence.

Jiang Jichen had come here intending to seal this ominous land.

He had a faint feeling that this Heavenly Burial Land posed a threat to the Supreme New Domain.

It was a mountain shaped like a burial mound, wreathed in Yin Qi. It was completely barren; no living creature could survive on it.

Around the tomb-like mountain, the only things that grew were the chilling Death Spirit Grass.

These stalks of Death Spirit Grass were ancient, and the deathly aura they contained was unimaginable.

A touch would be fatal to an ordinary person.

Even exceptionally powerful cultivators would find the deathly aura invading their bodies upon contact, drastically reducing their lifespan.

Jiang Jichen approached the tomb-like mountain and reached out to pluck a leaf of Death Spirit Grass.

In an instant, a bone-chilling cold entered his body. The deathly aura invaded him, seeking to devour his Life Origin.

Once one’s Life Origin was devoured, their lifespan would be stolen away.

Jiang Jichen did not circulate his Spiritual Power to resist. Instead, he allowed the deathly aura to consume a sliver of his Life Origin.

Then, Jiang Jichen watched as that consumed sliver of Life Origin was entirely funneled into the tomb-like mountain.

Jiang Jichen’s expression finally turned grave.

Moreover, the deathly aura from the Death Spirit Grass leaf in his hand surged with a frenzy, trying to invade Jiang Jichen’s body further and devour more of his Life Origin.

But at that moment, wisps of Seven-colored Spiritual Power flashed from Jiang Jichen’s hand, instantly incinerating the Death Spirit Grass leaf. It turned to ash, then a plume of black smoke, and dissipated into the air.

’It seems the Power of the Dead is also afraid of my Seven-colored Spiritual Power. It’s like snow under a blazing sun, melting in an instant!’

Seeing this change, Jiang Jichen finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

Then, Jiang Jichen activated his Divine Thought and began to probe the secrets within the tomb-like mountain.

His Divine Thought, at the level of the Seven-Colored Perfect Realm, felt as if it were about to be frozen solid as it landed on the tomb-like mountain.

’My Realm, after all, is still a bit too low.’

Jiang Jichen didn’t give up. His Divine Thought continued to seep into the tomb-like mountain.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen could only sense a sea of dense deathly aura.

Even with his Divine Thought, advancing a single inch was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, this Supreme New Domain was his territory.

Here, his Divine Thought Power was inexhaustible, as the will of heaven and earth constantly replenished it.

Otherwise, his Divine Thought would have likely been unable to advance another inch after getting halfway into the tomb-like mountain.

Now, Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought continued to press deeper.

The further he advanced, the denser and purer the deathly aura became. He feared even a Nascent Soul Old Monster would die instantly upon contact.

Finally, Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Divine Thought reached the deepest part of the tomb-like mountain, where it met a barrier of deathly aura that was completely impenetrable.

Jiang Jichen knew the real secret must lie within this barrier.

But now, a powerful will was preventing Jiang Jichen from probing any further.

’I’ve come this far, how could I give up now? How can a mere remnant will of the world stop me?’

Jiang Jichen sneered. He then focused his Seven-Colored Divine Thought into a spear and charged at the barrier of deathly aura.

BOOM!

The Seven-Colored Divine Thought trembled, and Jiang Jichen’s face turned pale.

But a crack had also appeared on the barrier of deathly aura.

’Again!’

With ruthless determination, Jiang Jichen once again formed his thought into a spear and continued his assault.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

After three consecutive impacts, Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought felt as if it would be annihilated by the backlash.

And his Divine Thought Power was finally depleted.

At the same time, a tiny fissure appeared on the barrier of deathly aura.

A wisp of Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought shot through it.

’This is...’

Through this wisp of Divine Thought, he finally saw the scene inside the tomb-like mountain.

What he saw left Jiang Jichen utterly stunned.

A mummified corpse was floating in the void.

It was wreathed in roiling deathly aura.

But that was not the most terrifying part. The terrifying part was that this was a being from a realm beyond Supreme.

The faint aura and pressure it emitted indicated that, in life, it had been at a Realm beyond Supreme.

’But the highest Realm in the Six Paths Illusion Realm is only the Nascent Soul Realm. How can a mummified corpse like this exist?’

’Could it be that this Heavenly Burial tomb truly isn’t part of the Six Paths Illusion Realm?’

’If that’s true, how many other places like this are there in the Six Paths Illusion Realm?’

That wisp of Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought continued to approach the mummified corpse, hoping to observe more details.

But suddenly, a terrifying devouring intent erupted from the corpse and swallowed his wisp of Seven-Colored Divine Thought whole.

However, his wisp of Seven-Colored Divine Thought was not so easily extinguished; it could hold on for a moment.

In that instant, Jiang Jichen suddenly saw an aura of life deep within the mummified corpse.

And a wisp of it was his own aura.

’This is...!’

Jiang Jichen almost cried out in alarm.

The wisp of Divine Thought was finally extinguished. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face instantly turning ashen white.

His Divine Thought was damaged, but he didn’t care. He was still reeling from the shock of what he had just seen.

That mummified corpse was not dead. It was going to be resurrected.

Once it gathered enough Power of Life, it would be able to return.

’Did it bury itself in this tomb for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or an even more endless expanse of time?’

’A great change is coming!’

’The Six Paths will know no peace!’

This feeling suddenly arose in Jiang Jichen.

This tomb was simply not something he could handle at his current Realm.

However, based on the current situation, it wouldn’t be able to awaken within the next few decades.

"This place is a land of absolute malevolence. No one is to approach!"

Jiang Jichen began to cordon off this malevolent land of death within the Supreme New Domain, warning the sect members not to go near.
