The wind.
Continuous in the ear.
The sound of rain.
Getting lighter and lighter.
In the Dead Sea, it was as if a Universal Celestial Dragon plunging straight down appeared, taking a small star with it and sinking into the Dead Sea.
Although it was falling, it also seemed to be ascending, forging ahead.
Howling, howling.
The sound of the wind was false, it was the sound pulled out by the spiritual energy, and the sound of rain was also false, it was the Dead Sea vibrating.
Chen Xia had already brought the small star into the Dead Sea for three thousand miles, faster than anyone else, and also taking a path that no one else took.
He was directly traveling in the Dead Sea!
Xu Zhen stood on top of the small star, staring blankly at Chen Xia's celestial dragon image in front.
She naturally knew what this existence was. It was a celestial dragon that had the potential to become an emperor. It was one of the extremely rare existences among the myriad realms today.
The Universal Celestial Dragon was one of the top imperial dragons that appeared after the opening of chaos, and was also one of the imperial dragons that became extinct the latest.
In ancient times, there were two consecutive great eras when all the myriad realms were ruled by the Universal Celestial Dragons. In that era, the Universal Celestial Dragon clan had emperors emerging one after another, even reaching an unprecedented situation where there were fifty great emperors in one great era.
This was the glory of the Universal Celestial Dragons. Even until now when they were about to become extinct, such news could still be heard.
Xu Zhen blinked and smiled. She was quite happy for Chen Xia, because this meant that her Chen Xia was indeed top-notch, one of the most powerful existences among the myriad realms.
She turned her head and looked at Ma Xiaohong behind her. Suddenly she smiled and said,
"Hello."
Ma Xiaohong's body shuddered, and her grip on the half-broken immortal sword tightened. She quickly replied, "You...hello."
"Hehe." Xu Zhen chuckled and turned her gaze back again. She put her hands into her sleeves, her pretty face looking at the profound Dead Sea, and the pure white hairpin on her hair shone as her clothes fluttered slightly. Suddenly, she asked in a soft voice,
"What secret are you hiding? I'm very curious."
"I...I..." Ma Xiaohong stammered, but didn't know where to start.
"Shh." Xu Zhen made a sound. Her face still had a smile as she shook her head and said, "You don't have to say, I want Chen Xia to tell me himself."
The surrounding scenery kept changing.
In addition to the silent sea, there were also stars that had already fallen.
Ma Xiaohong held the sword with a dazed expression on her face.
She didn't know where to start, let alone how to speak up.
Silence.
Until the small star stopped at a certain point in the Dead Sea.
Suddenly it stopped and hovered directly.
Xu Zhen stood at the top, lowered her head to look through the Dead Sea, and saw another pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that were thousands of miles long and pure white in the Dead Sea.
Celestial Dragon?!
Xu Zhen looked slightly surprised, as if she had thought of something. She chuckled, thinking that it was finally Chen Xia's chance.
The celestial dragon image that was dragging the entire small star disappeared, and Chen Xia stood on top of the small star. The pure white aura in his right eye was still strong, but the celestial dragon image that covered him was gone. He said,
"Get ready."
"Okay." Xu Zhen replied, standing calmly next to Chen Xia, her expression calm. The pure white hairpin on her head shone, and her clothes fluttered slightly.
In addition to the two of them, Ma Xiaohong was holding a sword behind them, looking nervous. But having followed Chen Xia through many great occasions, she was not too scared.
The Gentleman in White kept gasping, but his heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out.
He regretted a little.
Regretting that he had dared to participate in such a fight that only these proud geniuses could take part in. Wasn't this seeking death?
But there was no turning back now that the bow was drawn. He could only grit his teeth and go on.
As time went by, more and more cultivators caught up and stood beside Chen Xia, waiting for the appearance of the great sage's remnants.
Everyone knew it wouldn't be long, so they were not in a hurry, and began their own calculations, calculating which realm's strength was higher, and calculating how to obtain the best opportunities.
In the path of cultivation, half was calculation.
Chen Xia was also discussing tactics with Xu Zhen for entering the great sage's remnants. The two chatted casually and decided on the tactics afterwards in just a few words.
In short, it was just one sentence - take down the lone ones.
As long as they were alone, no matter if they were some Divine Realm prodigy or Celestial Realm little celestial emperor, Chen Xia and Xu Zhen would fight without hesitation.
They had to hand over all the opportunities on their body before they could leave.
This was their tactic, simple yet effective.
The gazes of the various realms continued to look at them, also secretly evaluating their combat power.
Today in the Great Death Realm, everything was the action between realms. It was the first time such a unique combination like Chen Xia and Xu Zhen appeared.
Among them, Chen Xia's identity as the master of Thunder Sword was unknown. No one knew which cultivator he was, and even the scribes of the various realms could not find out his origins through their calculations.
In fact, it wasn't that they couldn't find out, but that they found too much.
First it was a small town, then on top of a huge sword, then a greenish blue sea, and then an ordinary hut.
And finally, the key point came.
It was a blurry figure making a scissors hand sign.
It really was a scissors hand throughout huh?
The scribes of the various realms didn't know what to say anymore, and they couldn't calculate the origins of this Thunder Sword Master either. They could only place his rating at the top, slightly above the Divine Realm prodigies, Celestial Realm little emperors, Xu Zhen, and so on.
As for Xu Zhen, there was no need to elaborate. She was one of the strongest combat powers in this great turmoil in the Death Realm, and was firmly seated in the strongest position without any fluctuation.
However, she had now defected from the Immortal Realm, so her rating among the realms would be weaker than before when she was in the Immortal Realm. Overall, she was less threatening than before.
After the rating, the conclusion was reached.
Do not provoke.
Although there were only two of them, they were the top two. If provoked, they would pull you down in mutual destruction, and it would be a bad outcome for everyone.
The Dead Sea shook again, and after a while, the dragon chant sounded again. It was not loud, but extremely heavy, carrying an ancient aura, as if to pull everyone back to that era.
"Steady your mind." A realm elder shouted lowly, reminding the young cultivators of his realm.
If they were disturbed by this chant of the great sage's remains and caused ripples in their hearts, it would easily affect their Dao hearts.
The cultivators with weaker strength quickly steadied their divine senses and were unaffected by the dragon chant.
"It's here." Chen Xia said softly.
After the dragon chant.
The Dead Sea split open!
First there was silence for two to three seconds.
Then, with a huge pair of pure white eyes flashing just once, the entire Dead Sea suddenly emptied.
So the cultivators of all realms saw a skull tens of thousands of miles large lying at the bottom of the Dead Sea.
A dragon head.
The dragon head of a Universal Celestial Dragon.
At this moment, only the skeleton of the dragon head remained, with only the pair of eyes still normal. The pure white eyes seemed to be looking at the crowd, while also overlooking the distant gloomy starry sky with the crowd.
In its eyes, there was much unwillingness.
The skeletal dragon head suddenly shook and lifted up high, stirring up the entire Dead Sea galaxy, and let out a roar that shook the starry sky.
"Come!"
The corner of the skeletal dragon's head opened its mouth. This was the entrance.
Chen Xia stood high on the small star and nodded in response.
"Alright."
In this instant.
Tens of thousands of cultivators rushed into the dragon's head together.
The first major reshuffling in the Great Death Realm officially began.
Chen Xia entered along with tens of thousands of cultivators. Just upon entering the dragon's head, fights had already broken out. Realms with grievances against each other couldn't hold back and probed each other.
So although there were fights, few died.
Chen Xia drove the small star, walking at the rear, and none of the powerful cultivators traveling with him dared to provoke them.
Passing through the dragon's head did not take long. The innermost end of the skeletal dragon's head was dark and profound, unable to see what lay ahead.
"It's a small cosmos." Xu Zhen suddenly said, falling silent for a moment before continuing, "There's a small cosmos belonging to this Universal Celestial Dragon up ahead."
Some cultivators had already rushed in, namely the top geniuses like the Divine Realm prodigies and Celestial Realm little emperors.
They were obviously in a hurry, wanting to seize the initiative.
Chen Xia and Xu Zhen exchanged a glance. The small star picked up speed and rushed into the pitch-black dragon's head as well.
After the dragon's head, logically there should be the dragon's body.
But Chen Xia did not see the dragon's body. Instead, he entered a vast starry sky, with all the cultivators who had entered the dragon's head stopped in this starry space.
"This is the small cosmos of the Universal Celestial Dragon!" A well-informed elder of a great realm spoke up, also very shocked, as it was his first time seeing a small cosmos of this level.
"Where can fate be found, and how can it be obtained?" Some cultivators had already asked impatiently.
"Don't be impatient. Since the remnants of the great sage exist, then fate must also exist. Remnants are attachments, the final thoughts of the great sage after his life and death. As long as the attachment can be eliminated, the fate of the Celestial Dragon of the Universe will naturally appear."
"Even if the fate does not appear, the body of this Celestial Dragon of the Universe is the greatest fate in itself. A great sage level Celestial Dragon of the Universe from the ancient times can be considered the ancestor of most of the current celestial dragons. Its dragon bones, dragon will, and small cosmos are all exquisite treasures of the world of cultivation!"
The elder of the Great Interface said excitedly, while looking over the tens of thousands of cultivators, and made a suggestion.
"I think the remnants of the great sage are hidden within this small cosmos, perhaps on one of the stars. I suggest everyone split up and search. The stars within this small cosmos may also contain vestiges of fate, so exploring the stars is also exploring fate."
Some cultivators voiced their doubts, "What if someone finds the remnants of the great sage but does not report it, wanting to swallow it whole?"
The elder of the Great Interface laughed and shook his head, "That is of course impossible. The remnants of the great sage of the Celestial Dragon of the Universe should have the strength of a quasi-sage. Among those present, I'm afraid no single great interface could handle a quasi-sage. This makes it necessary for us to work together..."
He paused, then continued: "After working together to kill the remnants of the great sage, how the resulting fate is distributed will depend on individual ability."
These words made the intermediate interfaces a bit unhappy. Based on their strength, if it was up to individual ability they would likely get no share at all.
"Of course, if you are willing to voluntarily give up competing for the fate left by the great sage, my Greatest Interface can provide some compensation. How much compensation depends on the strength of your interface."
"And there are numerous fates within this small cosmos, those with insufficient strength need not fight to the death for the most dangerous fate."
The elder of the Greatest Interface added lightly with a laugh.
He had said earlier that this small cosmos contained countless fates, each great star could be a fate, so naturally cultivators could acquire them. So it was not only the fate left by the remnants of the great sage.
The elder of the Greatest Interface glanced between the Divine Realm and the Celestial Realm, suddenly laughing softly before speaking again.
"Cultivators who agree should make a sincere oath, to report it if the remnants of the great sage are found. As a sign of good faith, my Greatest Interface will not take the initiative to attack any cultivator before it is found."
After the elder finished speaking, the tens of thousands of cultivators present fell silent.
After a long pause, a voice suddenly rang out.
"My Divine Realm agrees!" The elder of the Divine Realm responded, representing the first great interface to nod in agreement.
"The Celestial Realm consents." The supreme elder of the Celestial Realm said in a deep voice.
This meant three great interfaces had voiced their stance. Among the tens of thousands of cultivators present, some belonged to these three great interfaces, and they naturally immediately agreed.
Now nearly twenty percent of the cultivators had voiced their stance.
Of the total of seven great interfaces, three had agreed.
"The Transcendent Realm consents!" Elder Li suddenly spoke, raising his right hand.
With four great interfaces agreeing, they held the majority.
Now the other interfaces could not remain silent, the intermediate interfaces naturally had no objections, nor dared make any objections, and mostly nodded.
The other three great interfaces agreed in succession.
The Divine Realm's elder nodded in satisfaction. This was the scene he had hoped to see.
"I disagree." A sudden voice made the scene fall into complete silence.
Xu Zhen stood on a small star, hands held behind her back, with an extremely disdainful expression.
The crowd turned their gaze onto her, most were shocked, but none dared look down on her.
The Divine Realm's elder looked at Xu Zhen for a long time, then asked in a deep voice.
"Why do you disagree? This benefits all of us, does it not?!"
"Don't pretend to represent me." Xu Zhen looked unhappy as she refuted: "I'm myself, I disagree."
Chen Xia standing by her side raised his hand, "Plus one."
Gentleman in White cowered behind them, trembling. This was the first time he had been stared at by so many powerful figures at once.
The Divine Realm's elder was silent for a long time, before looking at them intently and asking: "Are you really going to disagree, really going to oppose all the cultivators here?"
Xu Zhen revealed a disdainful smile, "I'm only opposing you, I don't care about all the other cultivators here. I just can't stand you, got a problem with that?"
Chen Xia raised his hand, summoning his bronze sword to float by his side, his left hand holding dark purple heavenly thunder, echoing her words.
"Come fight if you want."
The two knew how to play off each other.
The two stood on the small star facing the Divine Realm's elder, truly arrogant!
A golden spear suddenly shot out. The Son of Heaven took his place before the Divine Realm and coldly responded:
"What's there to fear?!"
Behind him, another emperor's disciple from the Divine Realm stepped forth on a lotus, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Son of Heaven, the two facing off against Chen Xia's group.
Seeing the cooperative situation about to devolve into fighting.
The Divine Realm's elder gritted his teeth, his expression changing as he indifferently said:
"If you disagree then disagree, since you two have no interface, we won't force you. Do as you wish."
He deliberately emphasized the word "interface".
The meaning was to warn other interfaces not to think that just because Xu Zhen and Chen Xia disagreed, they could disagree as well.
The ruins of the great sage had just opened, no one wanted to clash head-on with Chen Xia's group.
Perhaps they could win, but after that, they would likely die at the hands of other great interfaces.
So now this small star had become the most unique existence among the tens of thousands of cultivators.
Ma Xiaohong hugged half a transcendent sword, taking a step forward and softly asking Chen Xia: "Are you alright?"
She was worried about Chen Xia.
"I'm fine." Chen Xia waved his hand in response. He stood at the foremost tip of the small star, the leader of the small star.
Gentleman in White's body trembled uncontrollably as he couldn't help but blurt out:
"We... seem to be isolated by them."
"Wrong." Chen Xia disdainfully shook his head.
"We are the ones isolating everyone else!"
