He had a faint feeling that his domain would definitely be very different from the domain of the three demigod Heavenly Kings. After all, his situation had never happened in the entire history of the Tianwu Continent.
This made Xiao Shi look forward to it.
Now that Xiang Zizhen had become a Daolord, he also had a deeper understanding of the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao. Before opening the Door of Reflection for Xiao Shi, he could not help but say to Xiao Shi with a serious expression.
“Although I can open the door of return to the Beginner Martial Era for you now, there’s a problem. When you step through the Door of Reflection, the entire Door of Reflection will disappear.
“And I can only open the Door of Reflection once. In other words, 1 can only let you enter the Beginner Martial Era. I can’t help you return. It’s up to you to find a way back. There will be greater risks involved. Once you can’t find a way to return, you might be stuck in the Beginner Martial Era forever.”
Xiang Zizhen’s words made Xiao Shi frown. This was indeed something he had not expected. He originally thought that not only could he enter the Door of Reflection that led to the Beginner Martial Era, but he could also leave.
However, Xiang Zizhen said that after entering, the Door of Reflection would dissipate. If he wanted to return from the Beginner Martial Era, he could only think of a way himself.
“I wonder if the spatial travel of the Heavenly Mystery Mask can directly travel back from the Beginner Martial Era?” Xiao Shi thought about it seriously.
He felt that there was not much hope. If the Heavenly Mystery Mask could allow him to travel back from the Beginner Martial Era, he would definitely be able to travel there. If it was so easy to travel back and forth in the Beginner Martial Era, then the value of the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao could not be the highest quality Daolord-level item.
This way, Xiao Shi would have to think carefully about whether he should continue to head to the Beginner Martial Era. After some consideration, he felt that he still had to go to the Beginner Martial Era.
This was his only chance to control the Heavenly Dao. It was also the only chance to reach the ninth realm faster than the three demigod Heavenly Kings. As the breakthrough of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao did not have a fixed form, it depended on the martial artist themselves.
Therefore, if Xiao Shi wanted to break through to the ninth realm faster, he had to be different from others. If he was like the three demigod Heavenly Kings and transcended with mortal dao to become a Daolord, how could he break through to the ninth realm faster than others?
Taking control of the Heavenly Dao was the only way out for him.
“If I give up such an opportunity, I will definitely die once the three demigod Heavenly Kings reach the ninth realm. Even if there’s a certain risk in heading to the Beginner Martial Era, I have to take this risk!” Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with determination.
Although he had a stable personality, he could see the overall situation very clearly. He knew that he was currently racing against the three demigod Heavenly Kings. As long as the three demigod Heavenly Kings reached the ninth realm faster than him, he would definitely not have a chance to live.
The Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation of the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe was only useful for martial artists below the ninth realm. Once a ninth-level martial artist appeared, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation would no longer be able to block or protect him.
At the thought of this, Xiao Shi said without hesitation, “Open the Door of Reflection!”
Although the Martial Emperor’s Cape had yet to reach the time to form a clone, it was clearly impossible for him to wait until the Martial Emperor’s Cape could form a clone before opening the Door of Reflection.
He could only form a clone in the Beginner Martial Era.
Xiang Zizhen nodded. He had absolute trust in Xiao Shi. He immediately began to open the Door of Reflection for Xiao Shi. Mysterious and powerful auras continuously spread out from Xiang Zizhen’s body.
This was the aura of Dao.
Under the spread of this aura, the airflow around them appeared to circulate at high speed. However, it was not circulating normally. Instead, it was constantly circulating backward, giving Xiao Shi a feeling of time and space reversal.
Under the continuous reversal of the many air currents, an ancient door that emitted an ancient aura appeared out of thin air.
Xiao Shi looked at the ancient door in front of him. He actually felt as if he was looking back. Indistinctly, he felt as if he had seen scenes from the years of the past, but they were very blurry and could not be seen clearly.
Xiang Zizhen’s expression was solemn. He raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Shi from afar. A beam of light immediately burst out from the ancient door in front of him and instantly enveloped Xiao Shi. Under the envelopment of this light beam, the entire ancient Door of Reflection gradually opened with a series of cracking sounds.
Xiao Shi saw the moment the Door of Reflection opened, what appeared in front of him was a torn space. The entire space was endlessly dark and deep. It was like a bottomless abyss. A powerful suction force continuously emitted from this torn space. After affecting Xiao Shi, it directly pulled him into it.
Immediately after, the entire Door of Reflection let out a loud bang. It closed with a bang, then it dissipated into thin air.
Xiao Shi felt as if he had entered a space-time tunnel. He felt like he was traveling through time and space. In less than a second, His vision had already turned from blurry to gradually clear. From there, he could see the sea and sky. The blue sea reflected the blue sky. He stood on an island, facing the sea breeze and bathing in the sunlight. “Beginner Martial Era…”
Xiao Shi looked around. This was not the first time he had entered the past era. Before this, he had entered the Youyue era. However, the Beginner Martial Era that he entered this time was completely different from the Youyue Era back then.
The Era of Youyue was, after all, an era that had already been destroyed in the long history. Therefore, the Youyue Era that Xiao Shi had entered back then was completely unreal and did not really exist.
Whether it was the people he came into contact with there or the many items under the Youyue Era, they were almost all illusory. This also caused his gains in the Youyue Era to be very limited. There were many things that he could not bring out from this illusory state. The greatest gain was the Evil.
The Beginner Martial Era he had entered this time was not an illusion. It was a real era. Although the Beginner Martial Era was the first era of the Tianwu Continent, this era had never been destroyed after being exiled to an alternate space.
The Beginner Martial Era was also the most mysterious era in the Tianwu Continent. Currently, there is very little information about the Beginner Martial Era on the Tianwu Continent. Although there were ancient books in the Martial Emperor’s treasure vault, there were no records of the Beginner Martial Era.
Xiao Shi mainly learned that the Beginner Martial Era had the chance to control the Heavenly Dao through the Record of the Three Upper Realms of the Martial Dao.
As he observed, he discovered that the island he was on seemed to be very huge. Even if he had already spread his spiritual sense out immediately, he could not sweep through the entire island.
On this huge island, there was only one path that led to the depths of the island. Xiao Shi immediately followed this path. From the looks of it, there was no danger on this island. The entire island was peaceful, with only some birds wandering above the island.
As he continued to advance deeper, Xiao Shi arrived at the deepest part of the island. He suddenly saw something. On the ground in front of him were nine different cloaks. There was a wide bamboo hat on each of the cloaks. In the middle of each bamboo hat, there was a huge word “Dao”.
Although the Dao characters on these bamboo hats looked the same, the feeling they gave off was completely different.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes at this. He wanted to get closer and take a closer look. He could feel that these nine cloaks and bamboo hats seemed to represent some special meaning..
