The Eternal World

Zhang Chao knew that before the golden light dissipated, he had to find a way out.

Looking around again, he set his gaze on the ruins of the building he was in.

Although he had been sitting cross-legged here for more than half a year, he had yet to take a close look at this place.

After strolling around the ruins for a long time, he also discovered many corpses.

If one were to look at these corpses, they should have been corpses that had existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

In other words, this ruins did not originate from the war that swept across the entire Heavenly Realm for 120,000 years, but rather from an even older era.

However, Zhang Chao was not interested in the condition of the relic at all. After searching for a while, he found an entrance that led underground.

The entrance was surrounded by withered grass, almost completely covering it up.

Although he did not expect to encounter any good fortune here, Zhang Chao had no other choice but to enter and try his luck.

Because the era of this place was too long ago, ever since Zhang Chao had entered, he had always been incomparably cautious.

Who knows if this place will collapse or something.

However, the chances of encountering any living creatures shouldn't be high. After all, several hundred thousand years had passed, and other than some special existences, creatures that could live for several hundred thousand years were too rare.

Going down, the surroundings gradually became dark.

In addition, an eerie aura was continuously gushing from below.

"Damn, why do I feel like there's a netherworld down there?" The corner of Zhang Chao's mouth twitched, but it would have been better if he could connect with the Netherworld. After all, the Netherworld was the eighty-nine Heavenly Regions, and entering the Netherworld was no different from returning home.

Zhang Chao followed the passage and walked for a good two hours before finally reaching the bottom with difficulty.

He arrived at a spacious hall.

Many of the pillars inside the hall had collapsed, but on the whole, the hall was still intact.

Right in front of the hall, there was an incomparably large wall engraved with numerous totems and murals.

Zhang Chao walked closer. From the frescoes, he should be able to deduce the situation here.

After looking for a long time, Zhang Chao roughly saw some clues from the frescoes.

How far is it now?

According to Zhang Chao's analysis, it should be more than three hundred thousand years ago.

At that time, the Pangu Continent hadn't been destroyed. It was still a whole entity.

Although there would inevitably be some conflicts between the various powers in the Heavenly Regions, there was no such thing as a deep hatred or hatred. Furthermore, the conflicts only occurred in small regions and on a relatively small scale.

In a certain region in the Heavenly Realm, a few powerful existences had come. No one knew where they came from, but it was said that they came from a distant place on the other side, which was called 'Ping Realm'.

These people had brought cultivation techniques and theories from the 'Ping Realm' here, and formed a huge sect called 'Truth', which spread their laws.

Immediately, the Truth Cult grew bigger and bigger, like a storm, it started to spread out in all directions.

Due to the fact that this sect was growing too fast, many experts and powers began to pay attention to it.

In order to prevent the Truth Cult from becoming too big and affecting all aspects of the situation, many forces took action.

Originally, their goal was to suppress the Truth Cult and use the peace negotiations as a basis to divide up their own territory.

However, the Truth Cult did not care about their warnings, and just continued to do as she was doing.

On one hand, they were still dealing with these factions, while on the other hand, they were secretly beginning to infiltrate into them.

Many small sects and families were erased without a trace, and their resources were absorbed into the Truth Cult.

Paper could not contain fire. Finally, one day, Truth Cult's actions were discovered.

A great battle immediately began.

Dozens of sects began sweeping through the Truth Cult.

However, this war had met with strong resistance from the Truth Cult. They had opened a giant gate in the depths of the starry sky, allowing the experts of the 'Ping Realm' to continuously enter the Pangu Continent!

Until now, the truth had been revealed.

This was the purpose of the creation of the Truth Cult!

They wanted to use the resources of the Pangu Continent to sacrifice 9,999 cultivators, thus tearing through the stable boundaries of spacetime and opening up a corridor between the two worlds.

This was … Invasion!

As this door was opened within the borders of the Third Heaven Domain, the entire Third Heaven Domain instantly became the core of the battlefield.

But because the door was opened too early, it made it impossible for the truly powerful experts of the 'Ping Realm' to step foot inside. Furthermore, with the Third Heaven Domain as the head, the experts had separated and resisted, causing even though the door was not closed, the experts of the 'Ping Realm' could not take more than half a step.

From then on, the gate became the intersection between the two worlds. It was also known as the "Pass!"

This was the origin of the border trial.

The world on the Pangu Continent was also known as the 'An Realm'!

Because there were no experts from the 'Ping Realm' to help the Truth Cult, the Truth Cult was powerless on the battlefield and had to retreat step by step.

The area that was affected by this battle wasn't very large, but the degree of devastation it was in was definitely not inferior to the great battle that had plagued the entire An Realm one hundred and twenty thousand years ago.

In the end, the Truth Cult was destroyed, everything was broken, everything related to it was sealed as top secret, everything related to it was also sunk into the sea of stars.

The hall Zhang Chao was in right now, and even this entire ruin belonged to the Truth Cult from before.

"Tsk tsk, Truth Cult … Border, so that's how it is! " Zhang Chao rubbed his chin. He was surprised by this matter, he never thought that there would be another world that existed outside the vast one hundred and eight heavenly regions.

This' Ping Realm 'was enough to make people speechless.

There was only this much content on the mural.

Zhang Chao was very interested in the situation in the Truth Cult, upon seeing that there were a few small doors at the side of the hall, he randomly picked one to enter.

Soon after, within the small door, there was another room. This room was empty, but the walls were also filled with murals.

It was as if the Truth Cult was an expert in recording things with murals, and there were even many things that Zhang Chao could understand from the murals.

The murals in this room mainly recorded the daily affairs of the Truth Cult. From the time it was established to the time it was destroyed, many important matters were impressively drawn on the walls.

Initially, it was three experts from the 'Ping Realm' who had somehow made it here.

Afterwards, they began to spread their unique teachings and principles. First, they made some idle cultivators worship them, and then they rapidly increased their power.

Following that, some of the people who had arrived due to admiration all kneeled under the three 'Ping Realm' experts for the sake of obtaining powerful strength.

Along with the continuous spread of the morals, more and more people joined the Truth Cult, causing this power to become even more powerful.

He was using a strange kind of crystal to seed the center of the followers' brows. Following that, those people who had planted the crystal flew out with streams of white qi on their bodies, and at the same time, their power explosively increased.

Crystal …

Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

It seemed that the problem lay with the crystal.

As for the white fog that flew out from the cultivators' bodies, it was most likely some of the power that had been plundered from their bodies and used to build the World Gate.

The methods of a man from another world were truly unfathomable!

The aged corpses that were seen on the surface of the ruins should be the disciples of the various big sects that besieged Truth Cult at that time.

There were no clues on their skulls.

However, when Zhang Chao entered another room, he saw many bones that were neatly kneeling on the ground.

Each of these bones had a hole in the middle of their brows. Around the hole, there were many cracks.

In other words, they were only the people of the Truth Cult. When the Truth Cult was completely destroyed, they chose to sacrifice themselves.

"The problem is definitely within the crystal recorded in the murals!" Zhang Chao squinted his eyes. If he could find a crystal like that, he should be able to unravel the secret behind it.

It was a pity that he did not see anything related to the crystal even after passing through the other rooms.

There were even some rooms that stored resources, whether it was materials, magic treasures, or crystals. After hundreds of thousands of years, they had all turned to dust and were decayed.

After walking around in a circle, he found nothing.

Suddenly, he found a cellar lid in the corner of one of the rooms.

Using his left eye, he wanted to see through the situation under the lid, but all that entered his sight was something like the aura of primal chaos.

A dungeon?

Cellar?

Or what?

Was it used to store treasures, or was it used to imprison enemies?

He couldn't see it clearly, but he had an ominous feeling.

It seemed to be full of danger and unpredictability.

If it was not necessary, it was best not to go down for the time being!

When he thought about the treasures, Zhang Chao suddenly remembered that he still had the small box that he had gotten from the Unparalleled Sect's Plethora Gem Palace. It was said that there were treasures inside …

Hmm...

Then, he would first see if the treasure would be of any use to him. If it really was useless, then he would continue to consider taking risks!

After making his decision, Zhang Chao sat down again and took out the small box from the trochophore.

After looking carefully for a long time, Zhang Chao realized that this box was actually an extremely good quality treasure!

However, he still needed to further study the specific effects of this magic treasure.

After all, it was relatively old and wasn't a modern type of magical equipment.

Once again activating the Advanced Techniques, Zhang Chao slowly opened the lid …
