The heavens begin from Pingyang City.

Chapter 698: The Return of the Greatest Power in the World
The supreme world.

Above the sky, the starry sky is vast and countless times deeper than before, as if it were a painting that had been expanded countless times.

The night sky is filled with stars, and from time to time new stars or galaxies appear, shining so brilliantly that they almost compete with the bright moon.

Huanzhou, Zhoujun, and Yedu.

It was late at night and the city was still bustling with lights. There were even many wonderful mechanical creations, making the entire ancient city seem like a city that never sleeps, full of noise and brilliance.

There was a huge crowd of people on the street. A man in black clothes and a long sword on his waist was walking slowly towards the front.

His aura was as vast as the ocean, and he was surrounded by an invisible "tide" that silently separated the people around him.

Crossing the bustling street and arriving at the long bridge, a figure dressed in a Confucian robe and with a calm temperament came into the man's eyes, as if he was admiring the night scenery of Yedu.

"Brother Wang is so elegant!"

The man with the long sword on his waist took a few steps forward and came to the side of the man in the Confucian robe. He stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and together they looked at the river flowing quietly in front of them. He said, "In the current situation, shouldn't my brother work hard to break through the barrier between immortals and mortals and prepare for the achievement of the Dharma body? How can you still have the leisure to leave the palace?"

The man in the Confucian robe is none other than the current head of the Wang family in Zhou County, the chief principal of one of the seventy-two academies in Zhou County, and the former "Sword of Uprightness" Wang Zai.

"Brother Yan has come to Yedu, how can I neglect this distinguished guest?"

Looking at the man in tight clothes in front of him, Wang Zai said with a smile: "Besides, my way is different from that of ordinary people. I emphasize educating the world and saving the people. Now there is no rush."

The man with the long sword on his waist was none other than Yan Chong, the 'Long River of Sword Qi'. He looked at Wang Zai and said with a smile, "Haha, I knew that strolling around Ye City like this would definitely lead to my brother Wang's coming out."

"hehe."

Wang Zai smiled and said, "Why? Brother Yan, do you want to see me for something?"

Glancing at the starry sky, Yan Chong sighed and said, "There is nothing necessary. I left the Southern Jin Dynasty, which has become a Buddhist country on earth. Now I have traveled around the world and have come to see my old friends to resolve the last knot in my heart."

Hearing this, Wang Zai carefully looked at Yan Chong, a smile appeared in his eyes and he said: "Congratulations, Brother Yan, now the water energy and sword spirit in your body are perfectly integrated, and your aura is in harmony with heaven and earth. I'm afraid that in the near future, there will be another Dharmakaya-level land immortal in the world!"

Although Yan Chong was calm and composed, he couldn't help but smile when he heard Wang Zai's words. He said, "It is said that Brother Wang has a sharp eye. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

Yan Chong can be called a genius of his generation, as he was able to grow from a disciple of a small sect to become a famous grandmaster in the martial arts world, and is now about to cross the line between immortals and mortals and achieve the realm of Dharmakaya, a land immortal.

Even though the powerful have returned now, the rules of heaven and earth have changed, and the value of the Dharma body is far less than it was decades ago.

"Alas, it's a pity that the end of the calamity is approaching and the era is about to end. Even if I can attain the Dharmakaya, I don't know how much time I have left."

Speaking of this, Yan Chong's tone was filled with emotion.

Think about it, decades ago, the Dharmakaya was still the most powerful person in the world, and his words could determine the situation in the world. But now he can't even control his own destiny.

Times have really changed!

"Buddhism and Luojiao always like to preach about the end of the world and the final catastrophe."

There was a trace of disgust in Wang Zai's eyes. For a descendant of the philosophers like him who believed that "Heaven moves with vigor and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement", he disliked the fatalism of Buddhism and Luojiao the most.

However, Buddhism and Luojiao are now very powerful and basically occupy most of the territory of the real world. If it weren't for that person, they would have completely swallowed up the entire real world.

Wang Zai had no choice but to leave the center of power and teach at Zhoujun Academy, where he could out of sight and out of mind.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Wang Zai looked at Yan Chong and said, "Brother Yan, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Although Luojiao and Buddhism have preached that the era will end, the final outcome is still unclear."

"At least with the Pure Yang Sect's leader in charge of the real world, the two major forces won't dare to act too recklessly!"

"Pure Yang Sect!"

At this point, Yan Chong looked towards the north, and the familiar figure emerged in his mind. He subconsciously said, "I wonder if anyone has passed the level of legend and destiny and achieved the realm of a great divine master of destiny after so many years?"

"If he cannot become a great master, under the current situation, it may be difficult for him to suppress the many forces in the real world!"

At this moment, a bright star suddenly appeared in the night sky, shining brightly. It looked like a mountain range standing in the starry sky, suppressing the brilliance of the bright moon.

"Another great god of creation has fully revived!"

They said this subconsciously. They were already accustomed to the changes in the night sky.

Similar things have happened frequently over the years, and there is no telling how many stars and even galaxies there are that can rival the bright moon.

Moreover, now because of the universal recognition symbol, all kinds of secrets and information spread quickly. Even ordinary people in the world understand the reasons why these stars appear.

These stars and even galaxies, which can compete with the bright moon, are the dojo of some great masters who were dormant in ancient times.

These great masters basically moved their own dojo directly from the real world and used them as their sleeping places. This is one of the reasons why the territory of the real world has been shrinking since ancient times.

According to the teachings of Luojiao and the Buddhist kingdom on earth, the end of the catastrophe is now approaching, the era is about to end, and the powerful ones are returning one after another.

Therefore, every star in the night sky that can compete with the bright moon is the dojo of a powerful being and represents an ancient powerful being.

Even these stars and galaxies can move relative to each other, dividing the night sky into several large pieces, which are connected to different star fields. According to rumors, there are various Buddhist sects, the Taoist Yuxu and Jiejiao, the demon clan and many other forces, each occupying one side.

Moreover, these forces do not restrict the outside world from entering, and open up areas for exploration, allowing the cultivators in the real world to go to many star fields to find various inheritances and cultivation resources. With the flying artifact developed by Fairy Qi Xia, the female saint of the Mo Palace, even warriors who have not achieved the Dharmakaya can go to these star fields and travel the galaxy.

It can be said that the 'territory' of the real world is now many times wider than before, various precious cultivation resources are no longer scarce, and the overall strength of the world has improved by several levels compared to before.

If the end of the world were not approaching, now would be the best time for ordinary people in the world.

After a moment, the light in the night sky disappeared, and Yan Chong took out an object that looked like a piece of metal. It was his universal symbol.

Nowadays, the Universal Identification Talisman has been popularized throughout the real world. Almost everyone has one. Even he feels that he can't do without it.

Because it is so convenient!
Gently swiping across the universal recognition symbol, he opened the post page, and sure enough, there was a heated discussion about the name of the newly resurrected great master.

'Speculations about the next self-confirmed legend!'

Yan Chong casually flipped through the page and saw this post, and subconsciously clicked on it.

"Mang Jingang Zhen Ding"

Looking at the explanation in the post, Yan Chong murmured, "Has this Shaolin Mong Jin Gang also reached this level now?"

Over the years, I don’t know if it’s because some people deliberately deleted comments, but the three words ‘Mang Jingang’ have rarely appeared in the posts of Wanjie Tongshifu.

The new generation of young masters in the martial arts world have already forgotten the title of "Mang Jingang" of this Shaolin legend.

However, veterans like Yan Chong still subconsciously call this legendary figure who is destined to be the next abbot of Shaolin Temple as "Mang Jingang".

"As expected of someone who has undergone four tribulations!"

Yan Chong sighed: "Although he is not as good as the one from Chunyang Sect, he can also be called a peerless genius."

"really."

Wang Zai nodded and said, "In the World, Daode, Mang Jin Gang, Suan Jin Cangsheng, Demon Emperor, Absolute Sword Fairy, Celestial Fairy Fuqin, Invisible Sword He Jiu, I'm afraid no one could have imagined that there would be so many Dharmakayas on the list of our generation in the future!"

"He Jiu?"

Yan Chong blurted out: "He Jiu also achieved the Dharmakaya?"

"Ah."

Wang Zai nodded and said, "I just received the news not long ago that He Jiuzheng has mastered the unique sword body with no form that is unique to Donghai Sword Manor and has achieved the realm of Dharmakaya."

"Hey!"

Yan Chong sighed and said, "I never thought that the Dharmakaya-level land immortal who once dominated the martial arts world would not cause any waves now. I didn't even see any discussion about He Jiu in the Ten Thousand Worlds Common Knowledge Talisman."

“Times have changed.”

Just when the two were expressing their deep emotion to each other, they suddenly felt that the night sky seemed to light up.

The two of them felt something in their hearts and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The next moment, Wang Zai and Yan Chong were stunned.

Suddenly, layer upon layer of new worlds appeared above the vast starry sky. There was a dense aura of immortality in it, and it was divided into nine layers. The top layer was hazy and unpredictable, and vaguely there seemed to be an ancient tree standing there supporting the heavens, just like the legendary nine heavens.

"This is?"

Wang Zai and Yan Chong both showed expressions of disbelief. After a long while, they shouted in unison: "The Immortal Realm has arrived!"

They were not unfamiliar with this kind of phenomenon because they had seen it once many years ago, when the man from the Chunyang Sect proved his own legend.

However, what appeared at that time were two visions, namely, 'the fairyland appeared across the sky' and 'the nine underworlds descended'.

"Someone has proven the legend!"

"Could it be?"

The two of them subconsciously looked at the post on the Universal Identification Symbol and looked at the name.

Mang Jingang Zhending!
The strange phenomenon of "the fairyland suddenly appeared" appeared in the world, like a storm, instantly sweeping across the entire real world.

In addition, with the existence of the Universal Identification Talisman, most people in the martial arts world understood the cause of the strange phenomenon in the sky and could not help but become excited.

Everyone was looking forward to it, shocked and expectant, wanting to see who the second person in the real world who could prove himself to be a legend was.

Although many people have already guessed the name of the person who proved his legend this time.

At the same time, in the outer space and in all the heavens and worlds, all the powerful beings instantly turned their attention to the Shaolin Temple and looked at the man who proved himself to be a legend, Mang Jingang Zhending.

Emotions of malice, kindness, confusion, or entanglement lingered in the hearts of many powerful beings. For a time, the entire heavens and the world were shaken by the preaching of this Ragged Vajra.

At the moment when everyone was attracted by the legendary vision, the avenue of the entire universe seemed to have subtle fluctuations, as if some avenues were occupied.
