Chapter 6207 Secret of the Five Sovereigns
As that ancient voice echoed, heaven and earth fell still. Even time itself seemed to freeze.
That voice reverberated through the world and through every soul.
At this moment, Long Chen no longer felt the pressure of heaven and earth. He was lost in that voice. He was absolutely sure it was Sovereign Yun Shang’s—a voice that transcended time itself.
“Yang floated up and formed the heavens...” A second voice rang out, and a figure appeared in Long Chen’s mind.
“Big Brother Qing Xu!”
Long Chen couldn’t believe his ears.
“Yin sank to form the earth...” A third voice caught him off guard.
“Big Brother Mo Li!”
Long Chen started to tear up. He hadn’t expected to hear their voices ever again.
“Together, Yin and Yang formed Man.” This time, a gentle yet commanding woman’s voice echoed—holy, but suffused with killing intent.
“Big Sister Han Wei!”
The welling tears directly fell. Long Chen could see Han Wei’s figure before him—her violet robes flowing and her long hair billowing in a picture of peerless beauty.
“Man’s nature is a mix of heaven and earth, born of Yin and Yang.”
The final voice was like sunlight—warm, gentle, but resolute.
“Big Brother Zi Yang...”
Long Chen's tears flowed freely. The few people he idolized the most had appeared once more.
Long Chen had always regretted not being born in the same era as them. Now that he heard their voices again, it was like they had transcended the river of time and were standing in front of him.
Now, all of their voices rang out in unison, like the murmur of gods, filled with the power of the Dao.
“Born of the Five Elements—the five viscera, five virtues, five spirits...
“The mixing of the Six Directions—the six bowels, six roots, six divinities... Three pillars, the spirit of all things...”
Countless people were enraptured by their voices. Whether it was people inside the heaven region’s battlefield or outside, they instantly focused their minds on comprehending what they were saying.
“For the five Sovereigns’ voices to appear now, they’re trying to show me the way!”
With the help from the five Sovereigns, Long Chen suddenly comprehended the way to break through the final wall.
“Heaven, Earth, and Man in between, forming the three pillars. The Heavens are Yang, the Earth is Yin, while Man is Yin and Yang in one. The strength of the Heavens, the virtue of the Earth, all in one...”
The Ten Worlds Diagram remained still. Long Chen sat cross-legged midair, immersed in profound insight.
“The Spirit Root is intrinsic, the Spirit Blood is extrinsic, and the Spirit Bone is the union of innate and acquired. The Spirit Bone forms the foundation for mastering Heaven, Earth, and Man...”
Countless fireworks of insight exploded in Long Chen’s mind, and his cultivation path grew clearer.
Then, the voices of the five Sovereigns started to fade away. As the frozen world resumed, heaven and earth started crushing down on him once more. At this moment, Long Chen’s eyes flew open.
This time, there was not even the slightest panic in his eyes.
He extended his hand and twisted it ever so slightly.
All of a sudden, heaven and earth inverted. Yin and Yang lost balance. Then, this entire world started to collapse.
“Big Brother Yun Shang, Big Brother Qing Xu, Big Brother Mo Li, Big Sister Han Wei, Big Brother Zi Yang... so you’ve all been here. Today, I am walking the same path,” Long Chen muttered, gazing at the crumbling world around him.
This Ten Worlds Diagram was but a projection. And just as Long Chen expected, it could be unraveled—if one grasped its underlying principle.
The trick stemmed from destroying the balance between Yin and Yang. After all, pure Yin and pure Yang could not blend. Man was the bridge between them. By becoming that bridge, Long Chen drew Yin into Yang and Yang into Yin, causing this wall to instantly crumble.
It sounded simple, but without comprehending the Dao of Yin-Yang and the unity of Heaven, Earth, and Man, even Divine Sovereigns would perish here.
Only because it was a replica did it possess this fatal flaw. The real Ten Worlds Diagram would never have such a flaw.
Clearly, this battlefield had once witnessed the Ten Worlds Diagram and etched its image into its laws. But the laws here were insufficient to replicate its true power, leaving exploitable gaps.
Even so, this projection had nearly ended Long Chen. It was a sobering reminder of how terrifying the primal chaos divine items truly were.
As the Ten Worlds Diagram collapsed, the wall disappeared.
Seeing this, Long Chen hastily rushed up. At this moment, the scales were tilting badly, and the side of the nine heavens was about to hit the bottom.
When Long Chen arrived on top of the scales, he found himself in an entirely separate realm. Behind him lay primal chaos. Ahead, endless darkness.
He felt like he stood at the edge of time itself—beyond the world.
Suddenly, a white-robed man appeared beside Long Chen, gazing into the darkness.
“Big Brother Yun Shang...”
Long Chen’s heart trembled. He cried out, but they were separated by the flow of time—no words could pass between them.
Yun Shang gazed into the darkness, his pupils flashing. His expression grew more and more grave. But after a long time, he slowly smiled.
“I see. So the gamebreaker will arrive...”
Suddenly, Yun Shang formed a series of hand seals, and rainbow light blazed out of his body.
Then—he exploded, returning to the Dao. His light scattered through the void.
“Big Brother Yun Shang!” Long Chen cried out in shock.
He didn’t understand... why would Sovereign Yun Shang do this?
It happened so quickly that Long Chen couldn't react to it. He stared at the scattering divine light in a stunned silence.
“This fellow...”
Evilmoon’s voice rang out.
When Yun Shang appeared, Evilmoon was woken up from his slumber. But just as it was about to curse Yun Shang, he killed himself, returning to the Dao.
Time blurred again. In a blink—or perhaps after ten thousand years—another figure appeared.
It was Sovereign Qing Xu.
“So someone came before me. Then, I will do the same,” said Sovereign Qing Xu.
Sovereign Qing Xu’s figure also disappeared.
Then came Mo Li.
Han Wei.
Zi Yang.
They all came here, gazed into the darkness ahead of them, and seemed to realize something. Then, they killed themselves and returned to the Dao.
Long Chen could barely watch it. In any case, he couldn’t stop it. He felt like this was a piece of history that no one else knew of.
The five Sovereigns had all returned to the Dao at this place.
After pondering a bit, Long Chen turned toward the darkness. There existed the faintest speck of light within the endless darkness.
It was the tiniest glimmer of light, like a firefly in the darkness.
Concentrating hard, Long Chen saw that this light was connected to a world.
“That’s... the Eastern Wasteland! The Western Desert, the Southern Sea, the Northern Source, and the Central Plains! Isn’t that the Martial Heaven Continent?!”
Long Chen’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
