Chapter 1330 - 706: Mysterious Corpse
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi absorbed from here, while not insignificant, resembles only a narrow stream.
It is utterly insufficient to support Jiang Shu’s ocean-like Realm.
In encounters with opponents of the same Realm, or even in cross-Realm battles, it is far from adequate.
This situation seems akin to a world being sealed off.
No, it is even more exaggerated than that.
"This feeling..."
The Sect Leader of Hidden Sword Sect furrowed his brow, seemingly lost in recollection.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect beside him showed a hint of surprise, saying, "I remember now, this appears to be celestial banishment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Sect Leader of Hidden Sword Sect abruptly opened his squinted eyes, sword light flashing deep within his pupils.
"Celestial Banishment!?"
The two sect leaders’ loss of composure startled the Daoist Venerables around them, causing a deep sense of fear.
"Sect Leader, what is celestial banishment?"
A Daoist Venerable carrying a sword inquired.
Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader of Hidden Sword Sect slowly lifted his head and gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with deep wariness.
The condition of those present was truly dire!
This inexplicable celestial banishment descended upon them like a lingering curse, severely interfering with their state.
Not only were they unable to absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but even the Dharma Bodies of the Daoist Venerables felt a chilling sensation with no apparent origin.
At this moment, Jiang Shu’s eyes narrowed, the World Tree within him trembled slightly, and an invisible force suddenly spread forth!
This power, centered on his cultivation of Creation, Desolation, Devouring, Time, and Space Dao, forcefully established a barrier, shielding external perceptions.
Instantaneously, Jiang Shu felt somewhat relieved, yet the malevolence persisted.
All eyes turned towards him.
However, Jiang Shu did not speak, instead slowly gazing at the sky, and uttering a few difficult words.
"The heavens... are excluding us!"
Upon hearing these words, the two Supreme Sect Leaders showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Neither had expected that Jiang Shu’s Realm had reached such a degree.
With just a few words, he succinctly explained celestial banishment.
Understand that their entire cultivation journey was to better attune to the Great Dao, and harmonize with the heavens.
Yet now, even heaven itself is excluding them.
This means that their Cultivation Realm, at this place and time, cannot exhibit their original might.
Jiang Shu frowned, sweeping his gaze around.
He then observed the ground, the sky, and every object in this space, all permeated with dense, black streams.
At this moment, besides Jiang Shu, Hidden Sword Sect, and Heavenly Puppet Sect leaders utilizing special means to isolate themselves,
these black streams surged forth at extreme speed.
The furthest Daoist Venerable among them even had several black streams around him, yet he remained completely oblivious!
With a puzzled expression, he seemed unaware and unconcerned.
"Initiate isolation immediately!"
The Sect Leader of Hidden Sword Sect suddenly spoke.
A drop of Essence Blood suddenly burst from his fingertip, and the Essence Blood surged, swiftly flying to the furthest Daoist Venerable.
The Essence Blood transformed, a Sword Qi cleaving through, shattering three black streams in an instant.
"Be extremely cautious!"
Divine exclusion.
Even the Sect Leaders of Hidden Sword Sect and Heavenly Puppet Sect were exceedingly cautious at this moment.
The two exchanged a glance and jointly extended a force of the Power of Great Dao, barely encompassing the others within.
Within Jiang Shu’s sight, the dense black streams originally poised to invade were repelled in large numbers, unable to approach.
"What exactly are these black streams?"
Jiang Shu murmured, usually keeping his emotions hidden, yet at this moment, even he showed some fluctuations, indicating the peculiarity of this realm.
After arduously isolating some of the black streams, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Puppet Sect finally spoke.
"These streams should be some Dao Yun Law of this world. To the beings here, these streams are their utmost desires, but to us, they are a terrifying toxin."
"One man’s candy, another man’s poison, indeed."
The Sect Leader of Heavenly Puppet Sect mused for a moment before speaking, knowing that although Jiang Shu possessed incredible talent and fortune, in terms of knowledge, he was still inferior.
Thus, he explained further:
"Generally speaking, at a place like this, the lower the Realm, the less these streams can be sensed. Ordinary people might even live splendidly."
"But once embarked on cultivation, the higher the cultivation, the greater the impact!"
"The more Great Dao comprehended in Cang Mang Domain, the more one is excluded and targeted here."
He spoke thus, even displaying the scene he had just witnessed.
The Daoist Venerables who had not yet noticed their surroundings gasped deeply, horrified!
Although they temporarily did not know what changes would occur if infested by the black streams,
from any perspective, this bodes ill!
Jiang Shu stood aside, silent, but internally he had an epiphany.
This environment was akin to an apocalypse of no magic.
Even the cosmic vacuum of another world was more suitable for life than this place.
For the Daoist Venerables, while the cosmic vacuum seemed vast and lonely,
through genuine insight into the Space Dao, they could leap repeatedly until arriving at life-bearing planets.
In the cosmic vacuum, Daoist Venerables expend minimal energy.
But in this world, it is different.
They are constantly excluded by the heavens, and if unguarded, these black streams will inevitably invade their beings directly.
