Chapter 1470: Life and Death Across Time and Space
ven so, the tremor was like a chain reaction, instantly spreading in all directions across the world.Then, one saw the earth splitting layer by layer, mountains crumbling one after another, rivers dry...Just as the tenth chime of the temple bell rang, signaling the inner sanctum's opening, Jiang Yun found himself standing in a boundless expanse of nothingness.
But, the expression on his face slowly changed from expectation to disappointment, and from confusion to seriousness!
"This is definitely not a world apart!"
Ginger Cloud's gaze swept across the surroundings, his eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "This is the Boundary of Life and Death!"
The boundary between life and death, supposedly located within the realm of the living, is a unique place where beings can enter the realm of the dead while still alive!
At the beginning, his journey was to seek out the boundary between life and death, hoping to enter the realm of the dead from there. But ultimately, he did not find the boundary between life and death. Instead, he found a passage connecting to the realm of oblivion and entered it, without a trace since then.
And Jiang Yun had once, under Gui Li's guidance, encountered a boundary between life and death. But that time, he didn't truly enter it, only being made aware that the boundary between life and death, whether in the living world or the dead world, held many secrets.
Because the two realms, the realm of death and the realm of life, are not completely independent existences, but rather intersect with each other.
Even, some areas can overlap, and these overlapping places are the boundaries between life and death.
In short, the realm of life and death is hidden within an extremely deep level of space, and it also contains the laws of life and death. Therefore, the vast majority of beings cannot sense it at all.
Last time, Jiang Yun was unable to truly enter the Realm of Life and Death because he couldn't sense it. He could only faintly perceive a breath of death pervading the area.
But at this very moment, he could truly and undeniably confirm that he had truly entered the realm of life and death!
Even if he didn't use his divine consciousness or the power of the Void Annihilation, simply standing here, doing nothing at all, he could clearly feel that throughout this area, there was an overwhelming chaotic energy present.
This is the breath of life and death!
Even, under the influence of these two breaths, every part of my body, especially my appearance, is constantly changing.
Sometimes it changes from young to old, and sometimes from old to young.
This transformation is happening at an incredibly fast pace. If someone else were to undergo this, they probably wouldn't last long before their body completely collapsed.
Fortunately, Ginger Cloud was not too affected.
Firstly, because his body is extremely tough and can withstand such changes;
Secondly, it's because of his life fire!
His life fire not only burned far more intensely than that of others, but it also represented more than just vitality.
Within his life fire, there was still a wisp of netherfire!
Infernal fire, unique to the dead spirits of the Netherworld, represents death itself!
Therefore, under the protection of both Netherfire and Lifeforce, Gingercloud has been influenced by both life and death energies to the minimum.
However, this doesn't mean he can be carefree.
Through the changes in her own body and appearance, Jiang Yun also realized that—
"This realm of life and death, besides the law of life and death, actually encompasses the laws of time and space."
"Death is the acceleration of time's flow, leading life towards its end;"
"Life is the slowing down, or even reversing, of the speed of time's passage. Perhaps this could allow the reanimation of the undead."
Life and death, time and space!
A tiny realm of life and death, surprisingly containing four laws. These are the four most widely recognized yet difficult to comprehend and master throughout history.
As you can imagine, the horror of this life and death boundary!
Therefore, if one stays in the realm of life and death for too long and is continuously influenced by the power of these four laws, not to mention Jiang Yun, even top-tier powerhouses like Dao Zun would have no confidence in guaranteeing their own safety.
Feeling the surrounding atmosphere shift, Jiang Yun continued, "Although this place is called the Realm of Life and Death, in reality, it's more like a nine deaths experience, where even death is not guaranteed."
Because if the body truly collapses, it represents death, then the remaining soul, unless it can leave the cycle of life and death, should still be affected by the influence of the four forces, ultimately collapsing and vanishing into dust.
Of course, he also understood the old man's intention in using the technique "Inch of Space, Universe of Miles." It wasn't to send him into the realm of "Inch of Space, Universe of Miles," but rather to send him into the Realm of Life and Death.
Near and far is just a medium, like a teleportation array. The place where I was previously, that bizarre and colorful passage, should be the true meaning of near and far.
After everything had become clear to Jiang Yun, the ever-changing expressions on his face became incredibly solemn.
Because if one cannot find a way to leave this realm of life and death and return to the world of the living, then there are only two possible outcomes that await them.
One is to directly enter the dead world, and the other is to be reduced to ashes!
Although neither of these results was what Gingercloud wanted, if he really had to choose one, he would still rather choose to enter the Dead Realm.
After all, entering the Underworld, at least there is still a possibility of reincarnation.
"Damn it!"
As for the Dead Realm, Jiang Yun knew nothing about it. However, he had the Ghostly Might of the ghost race within him. In Jiang Yun's opinion, he should have some understanding of this place.
The ghost, Ghili, who always hid within the ginger cloud and fire, didn't dare to appear at all!
Because he is purely undead, this place will also be affected by the laws of life.
Moreover, his strength is too weak. I'm afraid that once he appears, he will be wiped out immediately.
"Sir, I've already told you everything I know. This is my first time entering this realm of life and death, and I truly don't know anything else."
Hearing Gui Li's voice trembling with obvious fear, Jiang Yun knew he must not be lying.
Since even the Ghost King doesn't know, Jiang Yun could only sit cross-legged in nothingness and try to find a way to block this breath of life and death first.
It's a pity that even though he hid in the Jiekong Ding, these two auras could still affect him.
Even more than just him, even the Lei Mu within Dao Jian, Wu Xiao within Lian Yao Bi, Huan Xin within Cang Dao Jian, and Xue Qing within the clouds of darkness, would all be affected by these two auras.
This finally worried Gingercloud, and he had no choice but to send them all into his own life fire. This somewhat lessened the impact they were experiencing.
However, Ginger Cloud also knew this was not a long-term solution, and she had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Yun stood tall, and began to walk within this realm of life and death.
This realm of life and death isn't very large, only about a thousand zhang in radius.
The feeling Jiangyun gives is like a transparent veil, suspended between the realms of life and death.
"So, if I break this lid, will I be able to leave"
Although he thought of this method, Ginger Cloud hesitated to try it for the moment.
First, let's not talk about whether or not one actually has the ability to break through this boundary of life and death. After all, even if one's thoughts are correct, it still means there is a 50% chance of entering the realm of death.
Therefore, he could only decide to wait until he was truly at his wit's end before trying this method.
Just when Jiang Yun was racking his brains to find a way out, a creaking voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his life flame.
For him, this was a perfect opportunity to contemplate life and death and the laws of time. It's just that this opportunity came a little too early!
"However, it's not entirely impossible after all. After all, he has comprehended the Dao Arts of Death's suffering, and he once truly died and was reborn, with both life fire and underworld fire still within him…"
"Well then, I'll help him one more time. It all depends on how much he can comprehend."
As the aged voice faded, Jiang Yun's spiritual awareness gradually blurred. However, in front of him, a figure appeared!
