Chapter 2502: Falling Stars Like Rain

What the Nameless One faced was the entirety of Chu.

This battle had been fought for nearly two years in the present world.

The struggle of transcenders was too far removed from ordinary people; instead, the martial arts competition at the Li Family Ditch generated more willingness for people to discuss.

The first thing It did upon returning was to shock and pursue the mysterious transcender hidden in the Fallen Immortal Forest, with a posture that reshaped the world's perception.

The reason why it was repeatedly mentioned was, of course, the result of Chu's all-out propaganda efforts.

The Nameless One continuously erased such discussions, while Chu continuously guided people to discuss – and only True Persons could guide effectively, because the officials following True Persons might forget about this matter as soon as they left the government office.

Huang Wei-zhen returned from fantasy in the Dao Calendar year 3928.

It changed from the Five Huang to the Nine Huang. It created Heavenly Huang Empty Mandarin Duck, Corpse Huang Jia Xuan, God Huang Fei Que, Ghost Huang Lian Hong, flourishing the Heavenly Dao, Corpse Dao, God Dao, and Ghost Dao. The number of people benefiting from It increased daily.

All of this was feeding back into Its power.

From the Dao Calendar year 3928 when It returned to the beginning of the Shenxiao War in the Dao Calendar year 3955, time was Its ally. The closer it got to the Dao Calendar year 3955, the more powerful It became.

It only needed to successfully strike and kill the Nameless One before that day arrived.

And the moment the Dao Calendar year 3955 arrived, time would only become the friend of the Nameless One. If It could use the changes of the Myriad Worlds during the Shenxiao War to achieve this shocking and ancient escape, probably no one could capture It anymore.

It would either be forever forgotten.

Compared to Huang Wei-zhen, Chu was even more anxious!

As the dominant power in the present world and the leader of the Southern Border, they needed to be fully prepared at the national level before the Shenxiao War began.

As long as the war within the Fallen Immortal Forest did not end, Chu, which was guarding the Fallen Immortal Forest, would struggle to make significant progress.

Understanding Chu's urgency also allowed for an understanding of Zhuge Yixian's determination.

Only through "understanding" could "tacit understanding" arise.

The transcender within the Fallen Immortal Forest had been hidden there for who knew how many years and months.

Zuo Xiao's attempt to transcend in the Fallen Immortal Forest that year only caused It to reveal a trace. Huang Wei-zhen's return from fantasy only pulled It out.

Huang Wei-zhen's pursuit for nearly two years, coupled with Its cultivation history being continuously impacted, cultivation records being continuously renewed, and Its past understanding being continuously broken, causing It to sometimes hide and sometimes appear... all of this together only gave It the substitute name of the Nameless One.

It was still in an "unknowable" state. Only after "confirming the name" could It truly be recognized, and only then could It possibly be truly killed.

And to accomplish this, the first step was to determine what year, month, day, and time Huang Wei-zhen fought the Nameless One, at what location, and what kind of battle it was.

Only after this could they truly interfere with the transcender's battlefield and enter the second step of "confirming the name."

The time was the beginning of the Xu hour on the twelfth day of the third month of the Dao Calendar year 3929. The location was a certain place within the Fallen Immortal Forest. The specific description of the location was – the battlefield where Huang Wei-zhen and the Nameless One fought, within the infinitely extended transcender struggle, a certain untraceable space-time rift.

What needed to be done now was to "confirm the name" for this place.

Although Zhuge Yixian was already connected to it, it was still continuously changing.

Here, Heavenly Huang's space-time expansion had spread, and the Great Liang Star God Bridge had extended here. Now, Jiang Wang and Ye Qingyu were the anchors here, establishing a definite connection with the Fallen Immortal Forest itself.

Like a distant star tower, it was also a lighthouse in the vast sea.

The specific position of this place could truly be determined.

The transcender's battlefield was immeasurable.

Just as Empty Mandarin Duck's expansion relied on Huang Wei-zhen, the involvement of the Great Liang Star God relied on Zhuge Yixian and Zhang Hua Tai. Even if Jiang Wang and Ye Qingyu were only leaving an anchor point on a transcender battlefield that had already passed, they couldn't do it by themselves; they needed to rely on the Immortal Palace.

"Qingyu." Jiang Wang lightly called her name.

The Little Money God lifted her eyes in response.

Within this expanded space-time, Jiang Wang released countless sight-sound lines to measure, quickly locking onto the core position. He held the Little Money God in his palm and flew towards it.

The Five Mansions Sea instantly became transparent. A virtual shadow of an immortal palace cluster suddenly flew out from behind him.

Pavilions, terraces, buildings, and cabinets, many with misty clouds. Water pavilions and corridors, with clear radiance self-flowing.

It looked ethereal with immortal energy, unspeakably noble... yet somewhat ethereal and floating, like a reflection in water.

Jiang Wang had never used the Immortal Palace as his reliance. At first, he couldn't cultivate it, and later... he still didn't cultivate it too well.

Of course, his ambition was not mainly in this.

What kind of people could cultivate the Immortal Palace to its peak state in an era where immortals were extinct? Xu Wang, Hong Junyan...

Moving to exhaust the power of the world's things was not something he, as a single person, could compare to.

More importantly, he was still very young and still in a stage of rapid growth. With so much energy and resources, investing them in himself could yield greater rewards.

If he had initially devoted himself to cultivating the peak Immortal Palace, he would at most be a True Person holding a Cave Heaven-level Immortal Palace, not the Zhenhe True Monarch of today.

The Immortal Palace was a convenience for him, and immortal techniques were used when he could use them. The so-called immortal path was just a choice he made on his way to the peak, a path he had learned and crossed over.

No matter what was said, the Cloud Top Immortal Palace finally showed a trace.

The White Cloud Child stood on the flying eaves of the Cloud Xiao Pavilion, holding a small sword, pretending to be a lonely sword guest.

As he held his sword and looked around, he suddenly felt something, fiercely flipped, rolled, and crawled back into the pavilion, drilling straight into the screen behind the highest place of the Treasure Hall. He widened his eyes: "Immortal Lord Old Master! Where have you come to kill now?"

"Fallen Immortal Forest!" Jiang Wang said with interest, "Didn't I come over earlier? Don't you have any impression?"

"What earlier? You didn't even release me earlier! You didn't even breathe with us or say a word." The White Cloud Child tightly hugged the screen leg: "Old Master, let's go home! This place sounds inauspicious!"

Speaking of the patterns on this screen, they were in groups here and there, never completed, and he didn't know what was being painted.

All the screens inside the entire Cloud Top Immortal Palace were like this, without a clear painting.

"But you are an immortal child!" Jiang Wang examined, "Do you also care about auspiciousness or inauspiciousness?"

The White Cloud Child held the sword in one hand and still grasped the edge of the screen with the other. He closed his eyes, not daring to look outside, and only shouted: "The Immortal Square Scripture says: 'Heaven's will and fortune should not be enough, how can true immortals be non-human immortals. Red dust experiences myriad sufferings, originally not knowing when not descending the mountain.' Old Master, we immortals are immortals, there is no need to suffer punishment without sin, no suffering is not necessary!"

What exactly is this "Immortal Square Scripture"? Why is it Immortal Palace material for a while and then this and that?

Knowing that this White Cloud Child didn't remember much, only occasionally remembering a few sentences and blurting one out, Jiang Wang didn't ask him, but only recorded it down, planning to ask his friends at the academy later – of course, not Xu Xiangqian. For this kind of historical research problem, asking Zhong Xuan was more reliable.

Asking Zhao Wuyan or Ji Li was also somewhat reassuring. Not like Xu certain one, who produced a picture book collection of "Immortal Person Room Middle Scripture."

At this time, another Immortal Palace flew up.

Jade-built carvings and rails, spring water like a belt.

It seemed like a beautiful dream, wrapped in pearl-like crystal thoughts.

The Little Money God stood on her gold ingot boat and sailed into this Immortal Palace named "As You Wish."

Another small immortal thought flew out from this gap, like a bubble shadow, floating in the air, lightly touching another diamond-shaped immortal thought, like rubbing ears.

The communication between the Little Money God and Jiang Wang was thus produced.

"Why did you, this little immortal child, come? Why isn't there one in my As You Wish Immortal Palace?" the Little Money God asked.

"Remember that Cloud Roaming Old Man?" Jiang Wang explained in a warm voice: "He was once a welcome guest child of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, I don't know which life's reincarnation body. After dying in this life, the residual nourishment combined with fate, fused with a little true spirit hidden deep within the God Stele, only then forming this small child. To some extent, it can be understood as a similar existence to a spirit—"

He paused here for a moment.

Because the White Cloud Child was really not fierce, often in a daze, and the Cloud Top Immortal Palace was mostly broken most of the time, never used by him as a killer move, calling him always ignored a problem—

The reincarnation of a welcome guest child was actually a quite strange thing.

Because reincarnation did not exist from the beginning, returning to the Source Sea was a complete death. Entering the Source Sea and returning again was fundamentally impossible.

At first, everyone thought Xie Ai was the reincarnation of the Frost Immortal Monarch, and the name "Longevity Palace" added a lot of persuasiveness to this matter. But later, the truth was revealed that it was just Ning Daoru's disguise, a layout by Qin Taizu.

And the Immortal Palace Child relied on the Cloud Top Immortal Palace itself, completing a separate reincarnation that only he realized within the range of the Immortal Palace!

Although in one reincarnation after another, his memory continuously disappeared, leaving only a little obsession in the end.

Yet, it also surprised the Jiang Wang of that time and was difficult to understand.

As his cultivation level rose and he understood the Source Sea better, he knew how difficult "reincarnation" was.

From Jiang Wang's current perspective, the White Cloud Child's so-called "reincarnation" was just some power protecting the remnant soul and memory of the welcome guest child, so that it didn't need to return to the Source Sea, and putting it into a reshaped body.

This was of course not reincarnation.

At most, it was a closed-door game.

But with such great effort, what was the meaning behind it?

One must know that the Cloud Top Immortal Palace had been abandoned to that state, the entire Immortal Palace cluster had become ruins, and only blood words were left on the God Stele, yet it still consumed power to maintain the reincarnation game of a mere welcome guest child... It wasn't truly just for the game, was it?

"Is there no similar existence in the As You Wish Immortal Palace?" Jiang Wang asked through immortal thought, "Something like a transmission puppet or something."

When taking back the As You Wish Immortal Palace, Ye Qingyu originally wanted to give this Immortal Palace to Jiang Wang. As she put it, she couldn't use it for the time being, and it would be best if Jiang Wang could use it to enhance his combat strength.

After Jiang Wang refused, she took out the "As You Wish Immortal Classic" and shared it with Jiang Wang.

Fairly speaking, there was nothing untoward between him and Ye Qingyu, but the As You Wish Immortal Palace was the only memento left by Ye Qingyu's parents, carrying the love of Lü Qiu Chaolu and Ye Lingxiao. When he thought of these things, his eyes would slightly ache, as if that most heroic figure of the ten thousand years would rush out at any time and give him a few more punches.

So he was reluctant to take this "As You Wish Immortal Classic." Instead, he wanted to hand over the As You Wish Immortal Clothes on his body to Ye Qingyu, saying it should return to the master of the Immortal Palace.

But Ye Qingyu took out another piece of As You Wish Immortal Clothes...

The piece on Jiang Wang's body was a remnant of the As You Wish Immortal Palace from the Immortal Era. After Lü Qiu Chaolu rebuilt the Immortal Palace, she also made a piece for herself.

Now, they could also be said to span two eras, "wearing the same clothes with the child."

These days, Ye Qingyu also kept asking for cultivation questions. He didn't want Ye Qingyu to be idle and think about sad things, so he naturally answered every question, always accompanying her, always on duty. But the things Ye Qingyu asked were some immortal techniques that she couldn't cultivate at all...

As he taught, he also learned the "As You Wish Immortal Classic" to the point of entry.

"There are no transmission puppets." The Little Money God shook her head, "There's no one who can talk in the Immortal Palace..."

Points of gold light, like fireflies, flowed around her.

Speaking of which, the Cloud Top Immortal Palace seemed not too different from other Immortal Palaces. For example, the Cause and Effect Immortal Palace, the Winter Immortal Palace, and even the As You Wish Immortal Palace, the Myriad Immortal Palaces, all had complete sets of immortal techniques. Only the Cloud Top Immortal Palace had nothing. There was only one immortal technique that stepped on green clouds, which Jiang Wang used from beginning to end, and even now couldn't keep up.

The Cause and Effect Immortal Palace and the Winter Immortal Palace could be said to be because Xu Wang and Hong Junyan were too strong, perhaps the immortal techniques they created could form a system.

As for the Myriad Immortal Palaces, Jiang Wang might know how Yin Guan came about, but why was the inheritance of the Myriad Immortal Palaces so much more complete than the Cloud Top Immortal Palace?

Did he pick the one of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces that was most severely damaged from the beginning?

Thinking back now, the "most heroic" one from the beginning was also very suspicious. He clearly had an Immortal Palace in his hand, was very knowledgeable about the Immortal Palace inheritance, and even specifically planned for Ye Qingyu to obtain the Cloud Seal in the Late Cloud Mountain, yet he just handed over the Cloud Top Immortal Palace...

Was it because he already knew it was broken?

Jiang Wang looked at the Little Money God, swallowed the word 'broken', and asked curiously: "How did you cultivate this Money God Golden Body so well? Faith actually flows continuously."

The two Immortal Palaces were already floating in the air, responding to each other, determining their positions, and slowly establishing contact with the Fallen Immortal Forest.

During this process that didn't require him to intervene, Jiang Wang still had the leisure to ask some questions.

The Money God had only recently fallen, and a new image of the Money God was just beginning to be established.

According to reason, it should have been a very long adaptation process for the believers of the faith, and for the new Money God herself.

But the Little Money God adapted too well.

People's faith in the Money God seemed to be effortlessly undertaken by her.

"How could I understand what a Money God is?" The Little Money God shook her head, and the ingot-shaped earrings on her golden ear drops also shook: "It's nothing more than 'worship me and you will have money.' Believe me, I will give you money."

Jiang Wang's expression was strange. Who else could understand the Money God better than you?

"Of course, you need to use the correct method to give money." Speaking of her profession, the Little Money God was quite serious: "For example, providing better work, the premise is that this person is seriously improving himself. For example, raising some work wages, the premise is that this person is really putting in effort in their work. Of course, these distributions are currently conducted through the cloud business line. I may not directly descend as a god – it's still very limited now, perhaps there will be some better way in the future, I'm still researching."

She had only taken over Ye Lingxiao's inheritance for less than four days, but she already had very detailed thoughts.

Every day she was thinking, thinking about cultivation, thinking about business, thinking about the As You Wish Immortal Palace, thinking about the Money God, thinking about the future of Lingxiao Pavilion... Only like this could she temporarily forget her pain.

Aunt Bai said "red dust refines the immortal."

Now her mind was full of human affairs.

Jiang Wang praised: "A gentleman loves wealth and obtains it in a proper way; the Money God gives wealth and distributes it with a method!"

The Little Money God stood on the gold ingot, frowned, and was somewhat troubled: "I don't know why, the incense fire is getting more and more prosperous, my cultivation can't keep up. I can only pinch the extra faith power into business immortal gold ingots. I'm pinching them every day, and I'm also dividing out many immortal thoughts to help pinch – I told you about it last time."

The change happened at this moment.

The two Immortal Palaces floated in the air, establishing and supporting each other. For a time, they emitted light together, like the sun and moon shining together.

The Cloud Top Immortal Palace manifested a noble framework, and the As You Wish Immortal Palace carved a beautiful form.

Infinite immortal light, reaching the extreme, spread in all directions.

This vast space-time expanded by the Empty Mandarin Duck was instantly soaked in immortal light.

"I thought there would be some, but I didn't think there would be this many—" Jiang Wang said. His double pupils instantly turned into golden sun and snow moon, and the sun and moon heaven seal appeared between his eyebrows. He overlooked the void.

The meaning of the break in the Immortal Era within the Fallen Immortal Forest would naturally come into contact with the Immortal Palace.

And he had already seen the Fallen Immortal Forest outside the space-time rift through this kind of contact, a Fallen Immortal Forest that obscured the heavenly secrets, overturned Yin and Yang, and reversed the Five Elements!

His gaze was real, his gaze had traces to follow, and his gaze itself was a path.

A path personally established by the person named Jiang Wang, who was at the peak of the world!

The specific position of this space-time rift was already determined and tightly connected to the Fallen Immortal Forest.

Jiang Wang, who quickly became familiar with the changes in the Fallen Immortal Forest by using the connection between heaven and man to capture it, suddenly had a strange feeling at this moment—

It was like you were originally swimming in a vast sea, swimming freely and leisurely, but a huge object crashed into the middle of the sea in a very distant place. Although you couldn't see the existence of that huge object, you felt the shaking of this sea. Your swimming was also affected.

But now, in the deep sea of time, trapped in that continuous tsunami, within a hundred years, it was impossible for any existence to swim in it. He couldn't, and Ape Know originally couldn't either.

Was it the Nameless One interfering with the perception between heaven and man?

The next moment, he didn't care about this feeling, but stepped out, his long hair slightly raised, his five fingers spread wide and pressed remotely—

He had already obtained the Little Money God's permission to act as the master of the As You Wish Immortal Palace. At this moment, the As You Wish Immortal light and the Cloud Top Immortal light were interwoven in his palm, forming a group of gorgeous immortal clouds.

The bound As You Wish and Cloud Top Immortal light just ran out of the idle clouds like this.

Immortal light was like a rainbow, crisscrossing and penetrating space-time!

At the same time, in the sky above the Fallen Immortal Forest, where ghost fog gathered, magnificent banner shadows suddenly appeared.

Suddenly there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and suddenly there were songs and dances.

Suddenly, human figures shuttled back and forth, people in official clothes shuttle in various palace rooms.

There were also twelve tall virtual shadows, rising up within the pavilions, terraces, and palace rooms, wearing magnificent ritual clothes, leisurely bowing.

Or they said "Li Henghua!"

Or they said "Zhu Yuqing!"

These were the "Twelve Pivot Officials."

It became clear from unclear.

The palace cluster, exhausting magnificent imagination, descended on the sky above the Fallen Immortal Forest at this moment.

"Fish scale house xi dragon hall, purple shell threshold xi vermilion palace!"

This was the grand and mighty Zhang Hua Tai of Chu, an existence among the top three treasures in the world's Cave Heaven treasure list!

This was also the embodiment of the "tacit understanding" that the Star God Great Liang mentioned in the East Sea!

Within the entire range of the Fallen Immortal Forest, light points lit up one by one at this moment... in the air, on the tips of trees, on the tips of leaves, on the surface of stones.

There were so many that one couldn't see the end at a glance, countless, like stars!

They were all space-time rifts where Huang Wei-zhen fought with the Nameless One.

They were expanded by Heavenly Huang, penetrated by immortal light, and filled with starlight.

In an instant, starlight was like a sea, interwoven into a mysterious pattern all over the sky.

The traces of the transcender's battle were outlined so clearly for the first time.

Determining the past, depicting the present, and even assuming the future!

This place was the Fallen Immortal Forest, named after the break of the Immortal Era.

"Immortal" was the most profound and indelible word in the Fallen Immortal Forest, which was the meaning of Jiang Wang and Ye Qingyu bringing the Immortal Palace. The Immortal Palace was the foundation for "confirming the name."

What the Nameless One sought was forgetting.

All profound and ineffaceable things were Its natural enemies.

The fall of the Immortal Era was an indelible event! It was the collapse of an era. A wound in history!

As long as history books did not stop, and people did not stop believing, this history existed.

When the Cloud Top Immortal Palace and the As You Wish Immortal Palace descended into this space, when the new era's Immortal Palace masters personally linked the old matters with starlight, the indelible connection between the Immortal Palace and the Fallen Immortal Forest was the ink that even the Nameless One could not forget!

The Star Witch holding the Zhang Hua Tai, like this, with the Fallen Immortal Forest as the painting frame and the sky as the painting scroll, used that giant brush that stood at the top of the heavens and penetrated ancient and modern times, dipped in this thick ink, and clearly pointed to where the two transcenders were fighting!

Of course, this was not completely accurate.

The definition of a transcender was very complex, and the struggle unfolded on more than one level.

However, this passage can serve as a slight illustration.

The Nameless One continuously stretched time and space, infinitely extending this battle, wanting to delay the war until the time of the Shenxiao World's opening.

From the perspective of Huang Wei-zhen and Chu, they naturally wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible, at least before the Shenxiao opened.

But specifically for Huang Wei-zhen personally, It already had the advantage in this transcender war, and It was not that urgent.

The change in strength between It and the Nameless One could be expressed in a sense like this—

As a great one who turned fantasy into reality, Huang Wei-zhen was more powerful the more people discussed It, until It lived in the cognition of all living beings; as a great one who hid Its name and escaped the world, not being recognized, the Nameless One was more powerful the less It was recognized, until no living being in all heavens and myriad worlds remembered It, and there was no trace of It either.

Specifically, in the confrontation between the two transcenders, time was immeasurable.

Sometimes, several country dukes would stop at any time on their way to handle affairs and pull people to give a lecture.

Along with Huang Wei-zhen's successful return and the start of this vigorous transcender war.

More and more people knew It, and confirmed It.

The Nameless One had already changed from a state of "not being known" to a state of "unknowable."

And It was firmly nailed into this state by Huang Wei-zhen.

As a newly proven transcender, It pursued and attacked the ancient transcender hidden in the human world with great momentum, and had already given It the substitute name of the Nameless One in the process of pursuit.

This substitute name is not just about meeting a person and casually giving them a nickname, like "bamboo pole," "big pig," or something else, just to establish it. It needs to be recognized by people, and by more people.

From not being shown, not being known, not being aware, not being observed, in all imagination of transcenders, to almost all high-level military forces of the human race knowing that this transcender exists.

Sometimes, at roadside tea stalls, people would chat and mention it—"I wonder how the fight is going in the Fallen Immortal Forest? What exactly is that Nameless One..."

Read the heart of the red dust patrolling the sky.
