Chapter 476: Strangeness Is Added, Ji Xiu, The Lord Of Strangeness, Is Loading.
However, Ji Xiu followed Emperor Chuangshi all the way to the back mountain of the imperial palace, where a stone stele with four large characters came into view.
"Divine Prohibition Zone!"
"It seems we have arrived."
Ji Xiu glanced at the faint opening of the stele.
"Yes."
"Prince Ji Xiu."
"We have arrived."
Emperor Chuangshi sighed bitterly and led Ji Xiu to walk past the stele into the ancient forest of the back mountain.
In the ancient forest, maple leaves fell gently, and in the cool breeze of the late night, Emperor Chuangshi's heart grew colder. He never expected that after dominating the Fourth Realm for so many years, he would be suppressed and coerced by a young man from the Nine Heavens, unable to muster any resistance. If this were to be known, he would truly lose face. But then again...
This person before him is Ji Xiu!
If that's the case, he seemed to find some comfort!
Soon, Emperor Chuangshi led Ji Xiu all the way to the end of the ancient forest, where a ancient altar covered in fallen maple leaves came into view. The altar was not large, but it was engraved with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes.
"Opening this altar will take us to the pinnacle of creation?"
Ji Xiu asked with interest.
"Yes."
Emperor Chuangshi nodded.
"In that case..."
"Why haven't you opened it yet?"
"What are you waiting for?"
Ji Xiu turned his gaze to Emperor Chuangshi, and with just that faint look, Emperor Chuangshi felt a chill from head to toe. He took a deep breath and gathered the courage to ask,
"Prince Ji Xiu."
"What is your intention in going to the pinnacle of creation?"
"If you are after the Creation Heavenly Tablet, then you don't have to waste your efforts!"
"Because my clan has guarded the pinnacle of creation for generations, we know that in several epochs, the Immortal Kings of the Fourth Realm have all gone to the pinnacle of creation in an attempt to gain insight and decipher the Heavenly Tablet, but none have succeeded."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu asked with a somewhat amused tone,
"So what?"
Emperor Chuangshi awkwardly smiled, those three words from Ji Xiu completely threw him off, leaving him stunned in place.
"I am not them!"
"So, mind your own business."
Ji Xiu spoke again.
"Understood."
Emperor Chuangshi nodded. Since Ji Xiu said so, what else could he say? He took out a translucent white divine jade from his storage ring, and then formed hand seals with both hands.
Clang!
A drop of blood, radiating a peculiar light, appeared in the palm of his hand. It was a drop of his own blood.
Exhaling deeply, Emperor Chuangshi infused his blood into the divine jade. In the next moment, the jade instantly transformed into a blood-red gem, emitting an immensely ancient and primordial aura.
"Let's go."
Emperor Chuangshi held the ancient gem and approached the altar. His gaze fell on a groove in the center of the altar, and he placed the blood gem into it.
In the next moment, the once lifeless altar seemed to come alive. Flames of heavenly fire rose one after another, and at the same time, Ji Xiu could sense a strange and uncontrollable surge of power emanating from the altar.
"Prince Ji Xiu, you may proceed from here."
"This emperor will take his leave."
Emperor Chuangshi cupped his hands towards Ji Xiu and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, a playful voice sounded in his ear.
"Emperor, it seems this prince hasn't allowed you to leave, right?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chuangshi stopped in his tracks and looked at Ji Xiu with a bitter expression, asking,
"Your Highness, what else do you want?"
Ji Xiu thought for a moment and immediately responded, saying, "Let's go together!"
"As for the reason, the Emperor should know," he added.
Sigh!
Upon hearing this, the Creator Emperor couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Of course, he knew the reason. The reason was simply that Ji Xiu suspected he would report to the Ten Great Emperor Clans. In fact, he wouldn't, because he didn't want anyone to know, especially the Ten Great Emperor Clans. After all, he knew those old guys in the Fourth Realm too well. If they found out that he had let Ji Xiu enter the pinnacle of creation without permission, wouldn't they tear him apart?
"Your Highness."
"Now that you've said that much," he continued.
"Then this emperor will personally accompany you on this journey!"
The Creator Emperor shrugged and, saying that, he and Ji Xiu stepped onto the altar together.
Clang!
In the midst of the light and shadows, the silver-white power of time and space overturned their bodies. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the altar.
After the two left, a breeze blew by, and a figure in white stood with her hands behind her back in front of the altar, her beautiful and noble face illuminated by the moonlight, appearing exceptionally enchanting.
"Ji Xiu!"
"I want to see if you really have the ability to insight and decipher the Creation Stele!"
Hua Yan sneered and slowly walked into the altar.
..................
The pinnacle of creation, a fragment of the divine world after its collapse.
Ji Xiu stood in this realm, looking at the blood-red and eternal sky, and smiled softly in his heart.
"System check-in!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on a successful check-in.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on receiving the check-in reward - Mysterious Source Stone.]
[Mysterious Source Stone: Can help the host absorb and devour the power of "him."]
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu quickly opened the system warehouse and saw the quiet source stone emitting a faint black aura, about the size of a walnut, lying in the warehouse.
"I've got the Mysterious Source Stone!"
Ji Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling great. With the help of the Mysterious Source Stone, he could freely absorb and devour the power contained in the ashes of "him" without being corroded by the mysterious power.
"Let's go!"
Ji Xiu patted the Creator Emperor's shoulder, and the two headed towards the blood-red plateau at the end of the world.
The Creation Plateau, a towering mountain, with peaks standing like heavenly pillars on the plateau.
When Ji Xiu and the Creator Emperor reached the mountaintop, they immediately saw the stone stele standing in the center of the mountaintop. The stele was huge, like a small mountain, with densely packed inscriptions and an extremely strong aura of the Heavenly Dao emanating from it.
"We're here!"
The Creator Emperor whispered. Over the years, he had accompanied the Immortal Kings of the Ten Great Emperor Clans here many times, but none of them had insight into the Creation Stele. So naturally, he didn't believe that Ji Xiu could insight it either. He only hoped that after Ji Xiu failed to decipher the stele, he would quickly leave, and then he could pretend that nothing had happened.
Hmm!
Ji Xiu made a soft sound and interestingly walked up to the Creation Stele, raising his hand to touch the inscriptions on it. The secondary mission in the system's copy had explained that this Creation Stele contained the path for him to return home.
Since that was the case, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.
Although the scenery of the Fourth Realm was beautiful, the wine was good, and the first heavenly woman was easy to provoke, he still wanted to return to the Nine Heavens World and be with them.
With this thought in mind, Ji Xiu sat cross-legged in front of the stele, constantly scanning the inscriptions with his gaze. Among them, the light of chaos flickered, and he had divine enlightenment and unparalleled comprehension. At a glance, he could see that the runes on the Creation Stele were the original runes of the Heavenly Dao, containing the immense power of the initial Heavenly Dao.
"Can this kid really understand it?"
The Creator Emperor muttered, expressing doubt about Ji Xiu.
And in the instant his words fell.
The Creation Stele trembled and emitted a radiant light. Strands of misty chaos light turned into a rain of light and fell onto Ji Xiu.
Feeling a large number of runes entering his divine soul, Ji Xiu's expression changed. He hadn't even started to insight the stele, so why were the original Heavenly Dao runes on the stele autonomously deciphering and imprinting themselves into his divine soul?
And just as he was full of questions.
A voice from the system resounded in his ears.
[Ding! System prompt: "His" power is being released, and the Mysterious power is invading the host's divine soul and body.]
[Ding! System prompt: The Mysterious Source Stone has autonomously activated.]
[Ding! System prompt: The original Heavenly Dao runes on the Creation Stele are autonomously deciphering.]
Listening to the continuous prompts from the system.
Ji Xiu couldn't help but curse.
"What the f*ck is going on?"
