Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Chapter 499 - 253: Heaven-Cutting Merges with the Golden Seed, a Pathway Opens in the Void (Part 2)

The Heaven-Cutting Vine, seemingly drawn by some force, directly followed the meridians flowing within Zheng Yi’s body, moving upward, passing through his arm, shoulder, and following a smooth path, it swiftly flowed into his mind.

Rumble!

At the instant when Zheng Yi’s pupils suddenly dilated, he was utterly shocked to discover a verdant green brilliance abruptly explode, swiftly opening an invisible door before him.

Behind the door was a boundless void of chaos, yet at the center enveloped by endless mist was a consciousness sea resembling a lake.

Now Zheng Yi’s entire body was immobilized, forced to watch as the Heaven-Cutting Vine ascended all the way, surprisingly penetrating the barriers of his body and entering the consciousness sea without his understanding of how it was happening.

In an instant, the surface of the calm consciousness sea surged, waves of rippling water stirred up massive tidal waves, pounding the surrounding void as if aiming to shatter the chaos entirely.

However, a golden brilliance released from above, not a bright gold, but emitting a warm feeling, sweeping over Zheng Yi’s vast and boundless consciousness sea, a sensation akin to a mother’s calming hand quickly surged in his heart.

Amidst this golden radiance, everything quieted down.

Even the turbulent consciousness sea space suddenly became calm, as if a hand of God effortlessly smoothed the agitation of the consciousness sea, returning everything to tranquility.

Above Zheng Yi’s consciousness sea, a simple and ancient Yin-Yang Mirror floated quietly, with swirls of Yin Yang Qi, its smooth mirror surface flickered intermittently, emanating a chaotic luster, betraying no signs of disturbance.

Just as Zheng Yi’s body could move slightly, seeking to investigate what had occurred with the Heaven-Cutting Vine.

Within his body, winds and clouds transformed anew.

In an instant, a verdant green luster, like drifting clouds, expanded in all directions and floated lightly over the entire consciousness sea.

As for the golden seed above, it consistently emitted a faint golden brilliance, strands illuminating the flowing clouds, and the two distinct lusters began to gradually merge together.

Heaven and Earth seemed to conjoin here, the Heaven-Cutting Vine below shimmered with a verdant green glow, transforming into a Cyan Dragon, whose brilliant luster was its long serpentine body, undulating as it flew straight towards the bright and gentle golden seed above.

At this moment, these two seemed to generate some inexplicable attraction.

Zheng Yi could only watch as these two forces, both exceeding his expectations, were seemingly destined to meet, yet he couldn’t stop it with his abilities.

After all, whether it was the golden seed or the vine of the Heaven-Cutting Vine, they both weren’t forces within his capability to access at this level.

This was outside the domain of his Dao Practice Realm.

Zheng Yi wanted to study but was utterly unable to stop the merging of the two forces.

Buzzing!

Within the shocking expression of Zheng Yi, the emerald green color rushed directly into the golden seed, the two integrated without any energy fluctuation.

Only the area surrounding the golden seed, the golden light suddenly swelled outward, expanding like a blood-filled mouth, swallowing the verdant Heaven-Cutting Vine whole.

What exactly happened?

Zheng Yi was completely unclear about the cause of this change, but one thing he could confirm, for sure, was that the Power of Rules in the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven had altered, triggering a change in the originally dormant Heaven-Cutting Vine.

And this power alteration must also be the handiwork of the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect and those several Righteous Core Formation Sects.

Otherwise, all this couldn’t be explained.

The rules change in Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven was subtle, and changes were happening within him as well.

Throughout, he was like a bystander, but only more clearly observing the fusion of the two forces, yet he was utterly ignorant of the reason for their merging.

At Zheng Yi’s current Dao Cultivation Realm, he couldn’t understand this.

The Heaven-Cutting Vine itself was an extremely precious Spiritual Object from ancient times, known for enhancing the Core Formation Level as merely one of its traits.

And in the hands of Ancient Cultivators, such things as the Heaven-Cutting Vine once burst forth with brilliant and magnificent colors.

As for the golden seed, it originated from the Doomsday World, a mysterious presence akin to the essence of a world that he has yet to fully decipher.

For a long time, the golden seed existed within Zheng Yi, but its function was known merely for eliminating the Karmic Force within him, isolating the poison of Belief.

Apart from this, Zheng Yi hadn’t discovered any other effects.

For the longest time, this golden seed remained motionless, resting atop the consciousness sea, silently growing stronger, sometimes causing Zheng Yi to entirely forget its existence.

It had no special effects on his cultivation either.

But now, as to what would happen with this collaboration between the golden seed and the Heaven-Cutting Vine, he could only wait and see.

...

Buzzing!

Suddenly, Zheng Yi felt his body tremble, a sensation of violent shaking, his Divine Soul emerged directly from the consciousness sea.

At this moment, he found that he was suddenly able to move again.

Yet his face remained adorned with ambiguity and uncertainty, his gaze swept around.

He discovered the source of the trembling wasn’t from the ground shaking beneath his feet, but seemed to emanate from within his Storage Pouch.

Zheng Yi opened the Storage Pouch, and immediately, a golden light flew straight out, floating in front of him.

It turned out to be the complete golden key he had obtained by chance before.

At this moment, the surface of the golden key continually trembled, waves of golden ripples radiating outward.

At this instant, the golden light emitted by the key was even more intense than imagined.

The gentle, flowing ripples were astonishing.

The radiant golden light was like a sun slowly rising, making it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.

The golden pulsation circulated the air, causing the calm space to slightly boil, creating a sensation of spatial fluctuation that left Zheng Yi somewhat surprised.

Although the golden key merely floated before him, the pulsation had already penetrated the void.

Zheng Yi suddenly recalled that a Brahma Heaven Temple Monk had mentioned that once the golden key was gathered, it would open a passage, allowing entry into that legendary Secret Realm.

As he pondered this, the golden key began to slowly move within the void.

Immediately, a golden door appeared before him, and the key at this moment fit precisely into the keyhole, with faint golden light emerging from behind the door.

Perhaps just a gentle twist of the golden key by Zheng Yi could unlock the space behind that Void Gate, allowing entry into that mysterious Secret Realm.

It could only be said that Zheng Yi was remarkably fortunate; when he arrived here, he had never heard of any purported golden key, but immediately upon entry, he was transported to a fierce beast’s lair, where after annihilating all the fierce beasts, he unexpectedly found a complete golden key on a cultivator’s remains.

No matter how this complete golden key came to be, now it belonged to Zheng Yi.

It seems that the entire set of golden keys should now be gathered together, and when all the golden keys converge, they unlock the coveted Secret Realm.

"Click!"

The crisp sound of the key turning made Zheng Yi’s expression momentarily serious, he extended his hand and gently pulled outward, at once, dazzling golden light erupted from behind the door.

The overwhelming golden light spilled forth, enveloping Zheng Yi completely.

In a blaze of golden light, Zheng Yi’s figure gradually vanished, disappearing beneath the brilliant radiance, along with the opened golden door and the golden key.

In nearly an instant, Zheng Yi’s presence was thoroughly erased.

When he reopened his eyes, he found himself transported before a towering structure.
