The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1333 - 508: GuaGua’s Divine Enthronement, Heavenly Frog Ancestor!

"Time Drum senior, how does one enter the Gate of Awakening?"

"Those you mentioned earlier, whether it is the Heaven-reaching Tower or the Samsara Pool, let alone the Gate of Awakening and the Gate of Life’s End, since ancient times, they have only been known by name, with even related rumors being exceedingly scarce."

"As for their locations and how to enter, these questions have troubled generation after generation of the Supreme Clan. If I stop at the peak of being a Saint, how shall I then search for the direction?"

At the deepest part of Broken Instrument Valley, Ye Hanjun focused intently, afraid of missing even a small detail.

Time Drum remained silent for a while, with colorful light spots swirling around it.

In those irregular fragments, there was the beauty of lush vegetation, which eventually turned into a ground of withered branches and fallen leaves.

There was the grandeur of the sun and the moon hanging high, which finally ended with heaven crumbling and stars falling.

There was the beauty of the sea and sky reliant upon each other, which ultimately turned to nothingness, leaving no trace...

——The splendid scenes, one after another, met their end.

In contrast, places where decay and wither dominated often welcomed the vigorous vitality of the new.

In the silence, Ye Hanjun suddenly heard Time Drum say:

"The Gate of Awakening reflects All Heavens, not existing in a realm of reality, invisible to Mortal eyes."

"Even for the divine, occasionally discerning such a place is also like a mirage; wishing to enter is a fanciful dream."

"The founder of the Ming Lamp Night Clan definitely had Great Fortune bestowed upon him."

"Inheriting this legacy, by stepping into the Four Seas Divine Pool, perhaps you might glimpse a trace of the Gate of Awakening."

"As for whether you can ultimately step through the gate, that entirely depends on your fate; this old one is powerless to help."

"Four Seas Divine Pool..."

Ye Hanjun’s eyes slightly sharpened:

"According to the legends, the Four Seas Divine Pool is surrounded by the four great oceans of east, south, west, and north, with them as its Guardians."

"Now that I know the descendants of the Heavenly Venerate reside within the Divine Pool, if I were to forcibly break in, would the true body of the Heavenly Venerate descend?"

"No, it will not."

The surface of the Time Drum suddenly shone like a torch:

"You only need to remember, only when a Divine threatens the position of the Nine Heavenly Venerates by attaining the rank of Divine Venerate, can the Heavenly Venerate descend in their true form."

"Apart from this, Their powers are greatly restricted, which is the price They must bear for managing the Heavenly Dao. Make good use of it, They can’t do much about you to an extreme extent."

Time Drum paused, seemingly contemplative:

"However, within the Four Seas Divine Pool, there are at least a handful of The Fetuses of God Sealing."

"That’s the Heavenly Venerate’s back garden, with rules unlike those of All Heavens. It’s destined that the descendants under the Heavenly Venerate’s System possess additional Divinity, not sharing the ’One Lineage Three Gods’ limitation with All Heavens."

"If you decide to venture there, gather sufficient strength and go all out in one charge. Burn the bridges behind you."

"Once you cannot break through after a prolonged siege and keep delaying, the Heavenly Dao will lock onto you again, and your situation will become precarious."

Hearing this, Ye Hanjun nodded slightly.

Our side already has a configuration of three gods, among which there are deities of Heroic Spirits like the Chengfeng Ancestor.

As long as the Heavenly Venerate has restrictions, making a move on the Four Seas Divine Pool, the odds of success are not small.

"This old one has said all that should and ought to be said."

"You may stay in Broken Instrument Valley. Opening and closing the valley’s gates consume vast resources, and I do not wish to waste them."

"Ribbon, arrange their accommodations."

"Among the Nine Great Refining Places, except for the Time Well, the rest can be opened to our guests."

"Yes, I will follow the Ancestor’s order!"

As the mist cleared, the Nine-Colored Ribbon flew over slowly again, with a playful smile:

"Guests, would you like to continue touring the Broken Instrument Valley or rest first?"

Ye Hanjun glanced at the knowledge-thirsty GuaGua, then at Ye Chengfeng, who seemed indifferent, and finally asked Absolute String:

"Absolute String, where would you like to go?"

"Ding Ding——"

Absolute String plucked a string, and the spiritual fluctuations seemed to roam above the nine heavens:

"I want to meet my kindred."

"Is there anyone in the valley who is well-versed in musical theory? I want to listen to their tune and discuss the Way with them."

"Eh? That sounds very interesting!"

GuaGua immediately showed an ’I am also very interested’ expression, looking forward to what the Nine-Colored Ribbon would say.

"The Way of the Music is a niche field in the Soldier System."

"But this is Broken Instrument Valley, where Beast Soldiers are born and die, accumulating over one epoch after another. Of course, there are your kindred here!"

The lively Nine-Colored Ribbon, watching Time Drum retreat back down the well, quickly turned around and smiled sweetly:

"Come on, I’ll take you for a look!"

"Xuxuan, you go find a place for seclusion. Sister here won’t disturb you~~"

"Hmm, I practice the way of space, and integrating Divinity cannot tolerate distraction, I’ll take my leave for now."

Xuxuan bid farewell to everyone, suddenly turned into a streak of light, and disappeared from perception.

Watching him leave, Ye Hanjun and the others followed the Nine-Colored Ribbon to continue touring Broken Instrument Valley.

"Here is the ’Purple Sand Sea’, one of the Nine Great Refining Places, powerful in polishing the body of instruments..."

"This is the ’Moon Wheel Platform’, using the power of the bright moon to peel impurities, aiding Beast Soldiers in repairing cracks after battle..."

"This is the ’Heaven and Earth Mirror’, once known as the ’Tenth Refining Land’, unfortunately damaged in the Near Ancient Era, its effectiveness greatly reduced. Now it’s barely usable by Beast Soldiers below the Supreme Saint..."

The Nine-Colored Ribbon was full of affinity, talking and walking energetically the whole way.

Just as everyone was dazzled by the sights, they suddenly heard faint flute music, echoing like from an empty valley.

Absolute String, with a still mind, slightly opened the blood eye on its forehead, listening carefully.

After a moment, it transmitted a wisp of soul thought, spontaneously admiring:

"Graceful, clear."

"This instrument has delved deep into the Way of the Music over the years, there must be outstanding achievements."
