Chapter 62: Entering the Tomb City
Chapter 62: Entering the Tomb City
Standing on the edge of the cemetery, an atmosphere of oppression, chaos, distortion, and disorder washes over you.
The towering coffin pierced the sky, resembling a giant, beating heart.
Here, yin and yang are reversed, and order has ceased to exist.
When he explored up close, Kunpeng thought of the famous extra from the earliest period of the primordial world, the ancestor of inverted mythology.
The mortal enemy of the Yin-Yang Taoists, the Daoist contender.
He later died at the hands of the Yin-Yang Ancestor. The Yin-Yang Daoist completely integrated the Yin-Yang reversal and became a Dao Ancestor-level being.
If he were also here, along with the Yin-Yang Daoist, it would surely be very useful in dealing with this tomb city.
"Upside down, chaotic, disordered, distorted—how terrifying! This old Taoist thinks this place is even more terrifying than the two strange occurrences in the Paper Doll Time and Space," Hongjun concluded.
You should trust his judgment completely.
In the primordial world, Kunpeng was the first to speak, but in this apocalyptic world where the Heavenly Dao does not operate, Hongjun is the first to speak.
A single intuitive feeling can reveal the essence of a thing with a high degree of accuracy.
In the context of system novels, Hongjun is the kind of character who comes with a built-in appraisal cheat, and he can appraise all categories of things.
"good."
Kunpeng nodded, agreeing with Hongjun's statement, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think is the best way to explore this place?"
Hongjun pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's best for me not to get involved in this city. I have a feeling that once I step into this city, the coffin will go crazy and lose control, and I have little ability to interfere with this strange thing."
That's a great intuition.
It is a great intuition bestowed by the power of the concept of the Way of Heaven.
The gist is that this city is completely distorted and upside down, and his entry as the representative of order will inevitably trigger a fierce clash of irreconcilable forces.
This tomb city is not just about the corpse spots and armless eerie phenomenon; rather, the level of this tomb city is far superior to that of the corpse spots and armless eerie phenomenon.
The corpse-spotted, armless creature was eerie, but Hongjun could suppress it with his special abilities. However, he couldn't suppress this tomb city with his special abilities.
Although Hongjun did not understand the hierarchy of the strange and mysterious things.
But his intuition told him that there were some things he could suppress, and some things he couldn't.
It's not that he lacks the ability to maintain order, but rather that he himself is too weak.
The armless corpse, grotesquely fleeced to death, only attracted a few ravenous creatures, which ultimately failed to coalesce into a ghostly domain.
The paper figures in the Paper Doll Time and Space are even more bizarre than the Licence-Stained Armless One. They are bizarre figures in their own time and space, possessing both powerful abilities and a ghostly domain like a bound spirit, making them very terrifying.
This tomb city is even more extraordinary than the paper dolls. The paper dolls are self-contained, paper doll-like spaces, but this tomb city is even more remarkable.
He directly created a spacetime in the distorted world of the apocalypse, using only his own abilities to create a bizarre space.
Its level is slightly higher than that of the paper doll and the bloody eyes.
Their uniqueness is at the conceptual level.
However, they are weak and cannot support even a fraction of their own conceptual abilities.
Just as Hongjun was not confident in dealing with the corpse-spotted, armless monster, he was not confident in dealing with the Tomb City.
In short, his words don't work here; he can't suppress the Tomb City, and his abilities might even drive the Tomb City mad.
"So it seems that even this old Taoist priest can't enter?" Xi Yi Dao Ren said, stroking his chin.
"No, you can," Kunpeng said. "Just don't be polite to it, be a quiet beauty... a quiet old Taoist, and it will have a hard time detecting you."
"Fellow Daoist, are you referring to forgetting?" Xi Yi asked thoughtfully.
"That's right, it's just forgetting. You just need to ignore it and not try to reason with it," Kunpeng instructed again.
"I understand," Xi Yi nodded.
"Am I alright?" the Yin-Yang Taoist couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, he didn't sleep well last night; he was so excited.
I fantasized about making a name for myself today, but after actually investigating the situation, I found that it wasn't as simple as I thought.
"You're the main force." Kunpeng cut off his wild thoughts.
Just kidding, in a city where Yin and Yang are indistinguishable, Yin-Yang Taoists would definitely be the main force.
Look at the "living things" in this city; you can't tell which are real and which are fake.
A seemingly normal living person might actually be an imposter, a distorted projection of death.
A stone that looks fake might actually be a real creature twisted into stone.
Neither alive nor dead, neither yin nor yang, it is an existence like the Avici Hell.
Putting aside other things, the Taoist priest can still distinguish between Yin and Yang.
Besides, he is called Yin-Yang Daoist, not Yin Daoist or Yang Daoist.
He is the kind of person who is born with the perfect harmony of yin and yang.
It is not something that a living being comprehends Yang and then cultivates through the process of Yang generating Yin or Yin generating Yang.
The Yin-Yang Taoist is born with the fusion of Yin and Yang, the "two" that comes from the Tao giving birth to one, and one giving birth to two.
It's genuinely silly, not just a little silly.
The Tai Chi symbol was his most treasured possession, and there's a story behind it.
He himself embodies the power of the primordial Yin and Yang, the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth.
He is a chaotic Tai Chi that can be Yin or Yang at will, and even where Yin and Yang are indistinguishable.
No matter how Yin and Yang are reversed in the cemetery, it is ultimately impossible to transcend the Yin-Yang Tai Chi.
Unlike Hongjun, who represents a definite and orderly Heavenly Way, Yin Yang Dao Ren represents a chaotic order that does not distinguish between Yin and Yang.
There is both order and chaos.
The first person to possess the dual nature of the primordial chaos.
It's just that he's still young, and Xiao Yi's version of the prehistoric era is a bit weak, so he acts a little silly.
"That's good." The Yin-Yang Taoist breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Kunwu is also a key player. I feel that the land you step on will become the real land, if you wish. So our safety depends on you. I don't want to be swallowed up as soon as I enter."
Kunpeng's gaze fell upon the ground of the tomb city.
Once you explain it, everyone will understand: the ground of this cemetery city doesn't resemble the earth; it's more like a living monster.
It constantly devours living beings on the ground, and continuously spews out twisted remains and monsters.
It's practically a living city.
It's as if the floating coffin is the heart, and the city is a monster made of flesh and blood.
"Understood," Kunwu replied.
Everyone understands.
As for Kunpeng himself, he seems to be even more overpowered, which is of course due to the abnormal characteristics of Guixu.
Everything can be reduced to nothingness; there's no such thing as targeting anything. If there is any targeting, it's targeting everything.
After all, only after the end and the finality can one return to nothingness.
As long as it exists, regardless of its stage—whether it's the newly born prosperity, the peak of prosperity, or the twisted chaos of the end times—it doesn't matter.
It does exist.
But he does not exist.
Anything that exists can be reduced to nothingness.
So what if this city is inverted, disordered, and chaotic?
You could simply cease to exist.
If they no longer exist, what threat is there?
The plan has been made.
The Taoist Xiyi, the Taoist Kunpeng, the Taoist Kunwu, and the Taoist Yin Yang began to slowly approach the tomb city.
Kunwu leads the way, solidifying the earth; Yin-Yang Daoist is second, distinguishing Yin and Yang; Kunpeng is third, surveying the surroundings; and Xiyi is last, silently reciting, "We do not exist."
Each had its own role, and these were compounded by forgetting, returning to nothingness, and the difficulty in distinguishing between Yin and Yang.
The four of them easily entered the tomb city.
Like a speck of dust, it caused no ripples whatsoever.
