Chapter 9: The Years of Light and Shadow, the Spirit of Creation

  Walking on the Zi Yu Square, smelling the fragrance rising from the nine ancient tripods, Fu Yaozi pulled Xu Lin and said to him: "This square has a name, we call it Fei Xian Square. Because of its location, it is only under the Cang Hua Tian Gong in front, which is the second highest point in the entire Dongtian Cave. As soon as you enter Fei Xian Square, you can reach Cang Hua Tian Gong directly, representing flying and ascending to immortality, it is a very sacred place in Yaoguang Dongtian Cave."

  Xu Lin listened to Fu Yaozi's words beside his ear, and as he looked around the square, a purple mist rose and spread over the entire square, enveloping him in an otherworldly atmosphere that made one reluctant to leave.

  At the end of the square, there was a seemingly bottomless chasm. In the chasm, countless fragments of space twisted and turned, and a river of time flowed slowly through it. As Xu Lin glanced over, numerous scenes appeared before his eyes. There were scenes of thunderous turmoil at the dawn of creation, scenes of serene beauty in all directions, scenes of ancient heroes falling from the heavens, and many more scenes of immortals bravely forging ahead, cutting through thorns and woods, striving to grasp the origin of the Great Way.

  Even more, Xu Lin could see through countless different scenes, his own past ten lives, as well as every reincarnation and transmigration.

  "This is the Light Shadow Abyss, the most terrifying existence in the Shaking Light Cave Heaven. If one doesn't have the cultivation of the Eighth Step Longevity Realm, anyone who falls in will become lost in the boundless years of light and shadow, forever unable to return to their original world." Fu Yaozi said calmly as he pulled Xu Lin along, but amidst his calm tone, there was a hint of desolation and fear that Xu Lin couldn't quite catch.

  The steps of fate, stronger and more legendary. But with only 9,999 years of life, as the years go by, if you can't move forward, it will also disperse and fall. Years, time. Forever the arch-nemesis of a person's life.

  Above the ravine, three emerald-green jade arch bridges were erected in mid-air, connecting the Flying Immortal Square and the Creation Heaven Palace. On the jade arch bridge, the carved railings were made of jade, shining with a layer of misty pale green light. The delicate railings on both sides were carved with countless divine beasts, immortal beasts, and auspicious beasts. There were golden-winged giant peng birds, ancient qin, ancient qilin, ancient heavenly dragons, seven-colored divine phoenixes, colorful luan birds, and immortal cranes, each one seeming to have descended in person, vivid and lifelike.

  "This is the Ascension Bridge. Once you step onto the Ascension Bridge, you will never look back for eternity!" Fuyaozi led Xu Lin, walking slowly onto the Emerald Arch Bridge, saying as they walked. The expression on his face was also extremely sacred at this moment, stepping onto the Ascension Bridge meant that leaving the Creation Heaven Palace was only one step away.

  It seemed that he had sensed the aura of eternity, grandeur, vastness and majesty emanating from the Canghua Heavenly Palace. Xu Lin's eyes also dared not look around anymore, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his small face.

  As he walked over the curved emerald bridge, a magnificent and exquisite giant palace suddenly appeared before Xu Lin's eyes. Immediately afterwards, a deep and grand pressure came rushing forth, and under this pressure, Xu Lin's body trembled all at once, his body uncontrollably wanting to fall downwards.

  At this time, a golden light faintly appeared below Lin's heart, and a warmth rose from the center of his chest, spreading throughout his body in an instant. Lin suddenly felt that all the pressure around him had disappeared, and his footsteps became firm once again.

  "What?" Just as a golden light flashed under Xulin's heart, the gate of the Canghua Tian Palace shook violently, and a black hole suddenly appeared. A man in ordinary clothes with stiff facial features and an unremarkable appearance emerged from the hole. Before he even stepped out of the hole, he let out a shocking cry.

  After the shock, the man's body moved and suddenly disappeared, only to reappear in front of Xu Lin, his eyes fixed tightly on Xu Lin's chest, his body still slightly trembling.

  "True Immortal of Creation." Fu Yaozi took one look at this man and immediately trembled with fear, then immediately bowed to the man and shouted.

  But that creator of heaven and earth seemed to have not heard Fu Yaozi's words, his eyes simply shifted from Xu Lin's chest area and met with Xu Lin's gaze.

  Xu Lin looked into the eyes of Zhuo Hua Zhen Ren and saw a picture he couldn't understand flashing in his calm and unremarkable eyes. In those eyes, he also saw a river of light and shadow flowing slowly, at the end of which was an exquisite and grand palace, identical to the Zhuo Hua Tian Gong he saw before him.

  At this moment, Xu Lin's heart immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of her, who was actually the instrument spirit of the Canghua Heavenly Palace, and had already understood the existence of time rules, equivalent to a long-lived epic strongman.

  "If possible, can I meet this senior?" Xulinn was stunned, and the instrument spirit of Canghuan Tiangong spoke up. The voice was deep and heavy, giving people a sense of solidity.

  "Senior?" Xu Lin heard the words of Zhuohua Zhenren, and was stunned for a moment. Then he recalled the golden light that had suddenly appeared under his heart in front of the pressure earlier. Xu Lin also immediately knew what Zhuohua Zhenren meant by "senior". "Boom!" At this moment, Xu Lin's mind was shocked to the core. His body actually hid an existence that could make a pure Yang artifact spirit call out "senior", which was comparable to a Long Life Epic strong person. What kind of existence was it? At this moment, Xu Lin felt his breathing become urgent and difficult.

  "I...I don't know either...don't know when this senior...this senior was inside my body....my body...I couldn't...couldn't let him out..." Xu Lin panted heavily, speaking in a stuttering tone.

  "Senior?" At this time, Fuyaozi suddenly moved and knew who the "senior" was. He took a step forward and said: "Zao Hua Zhen Ren, that senior is Tai Xu Fa Lun." (The two words "Fa Lun" are taboo, everyone knows why.)

  "Tai Xu Fa. Lun!!!" Upon hearing these four words, the instrument spirit of the Cang Hua Tian Gong was thoroughly shocked, and the shock in his eyes was something that even Lin could see. "Rumble rumble...!" A thunderous sound echoed through the Dong Tian, causing countless heavenly and earthly primordial energies to suddenly surge up. The instrument spirit's shock immediately affected the entire Dong Tian, after all, the entire Dong Tian was derived from his own body.

  Suddenly, on both sides of the crescent moon, countless pillars of light shot up and disappeared in an instant. After a moment, numerous figures appeared in the void, and voices came one after another.

  "What's going on? Why is there a sign of wind and cloud changes in the cave?"

  "Who has disturbed the emotions of the Creator? Only when the Creator's emotions are stirred, will the winds and clouds in the Cavernous Heavens change..."

  One by one, the gazes were like sharp swords, piercing through layers of space, shooting towards the Causal Heaven Palace, and falling on Fuyaozi, Xuline, and the Causal Heavenly True Person.

  "It's Fu Yao, the ancestor, and also the creator of the true person. Who is that little kid? He doesn't have any spiritual power fluctuations at all, he's an ordinary person. The creator of the true person is looking at him, and he actually triggered the emotional fluctuations of the creator of the true person..."

  "Who is that little kid?"

  These are all authentic disciples of Yao Guang Dong Tian, who were shocked by the changes in the wind and clouds during their cultivation.

  "Hmm...!" Seeing that such a big commotion had been caused, the Creator True Person took a few deep breaths and suppressed the shock in his heart. In the Cave of Heaven, as the Creator True Person suppressed his shock, the wind and waves also gradually subsided, and the clouds became light and the breeze gentle.

  After calm was restored, Su Mingyue's deep, steady and majestic voice rang out once more within the Canghua Heaven Palace: "Nothing else to see here, all disciples may return and continue their cultivation."

  The voice of the True Person, apparently all the true disciples had heard it many times before. After hearing these words, they all stopped looking around and disappeared one by one into thin air, returning to their own caves to continue their cultivation.

  "If you can call out to Taixu Senior later, please let me meet Taixu Senior once." The calm and collected Zao Hua True Person hesitated for a while before suddenly bowing his head to Xu Lin, speaking in a requesting tone.

  "Ah...!" Seeing the sudden bow of the True Person of Causality, Xu Lin was taken aback and hastily knelt down with a "thud", saying in a urgent tone: "If I can call out to this senior in the future, I will definitely let Senior Causality see it."

  "You're a good kid!" Having gotten the answer he wanted, Zao Hua's face revealed a satisfied expression. He reached out and patted Xu Lin's little head, praising him with a sentence. Then, turning around, he walked into the Zao Hua Heavenly Palace.

  When Zao Hua Zhen Ren left, Fu Yao Zi finally helped up Xu Lin and said to him: "Let's go in too, don't forget your promise to Zao Hua Zhen Ren now."

  Xu Lin stood up and asked Fu Yaozi: "Master, why does the creator want to see the senior in my body?"

  Fuyaozi looked at Xulin and said in a heavy tone: "The creator of the true person is now a pure Yang artifact, and further up is the Yuantian immortal device. Advancing to the Yuantian immortal device is the pursuit of the creator's life. The Taiwu law wheel in your body is an existence of the Taohao level. If he is willing to pass on some experience with the immortal device to the creator, it is possible that the creator will also be able to advance to the Yuantian immortal device in the future. Xulin, Master still asks you to agree to one thing?"

  "What's up?" The apprentice replied to the master, "Yes." Xu Lin nodded and responded.

  "If you can summon the Tai Xu Fa Wheel in the future, please let Zao Hua True Man see him. If Zao Hua True Man can upgrade to Yuan Tian Xian Qi, it will be of great significance to the entire Yao Guang Dong Tian. So, even if Master asks you."

  "Alright, I will!" You could hear the anticipation in Fuyaozi's tone, and Xilin nodded his small head solemnly, saying seriously.

  "Good boy!" The solemn expression on Fu Yaozi's face dissipated, replaced by a faint smile. "Let's go, we're entering the Cang Hua Tian Palace." He pulled Xu Lin up and strode towards the Cang Hua Tian Palace.
