Chapter 1018: Life and Death

Editor: Henyee Translations

As the black and white stone doors opened, two distinct forces of Dao rules burst forth from the black and white doors.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately felt an overwhelming pressure confronting them.

They sharply noticed that at the moment the doors opened, the space began to exhibit invisible fluctuations and started undergoing eerie changes.

This spectacle gradually deepened the solemn expressions on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces.

Despite having deciphered countless mechanisms and arrays along their journey, and even overcoming the seemingly impossible challenge of deducing the black and white stone doors’ seals, no one could predict what lay beyond these doors—whether fortune or further peril.

“This may not be over yet.”

“Be careful.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood side by side, their Dao rules fully manifested, their vigilance heightened to the utmost.

At the end of their field of vision, the black and white stone doors continued to open slowly, seemingly enlarging the horizon itself.

As time passed, the aura from the black and white stone doors finally peaked under Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s watchful eyes.

The next moment, the heavens and earth seemed to change color, as if an invisible hand had pulled open the curtain to a new act, transforming the world around Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan in an instant.

A profound black force spread out from the black stone door, tinging the ground of the area with darkness, while a white force erupted from the white stone door, turning the sky above into an immaculate white.

The two forces emanating from the black and white stone doors spread and devoured the original world, meeting at a distant point where their collision caused a massive upheaval, pulling the entire region into a new dimensional space.

Witnessing this scene, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces registered shock. The transformation, though it sounded slow, happened in just a few breaths, and was now complete.

Fortunately, in this new world, no further disturbances arose, allowing them to relax their tense nerves slightly.

Before them, the entire landscape had turned into a stark contrast of black and white, clearly demarcated, with nothing else in the vast expanse of space except for their own figures.

The original ancient cave had completely disappeared; all around Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was nothing but the landscape of black and white.

The ground under their feet was utterly black, while the expanse above was pure white—an extremely startling phenomenon that left even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, seasoned as they were, in awe.

They exchanged glances, each seeing the caution in the other’s eyes.

Jiang Chengxuan calmed his mind and extended his senses. There were no more barriers in the area; his perception stretched out for hundreds, thousands of miles, yet he detected nothing unusual. All that existed were the endless expanses of black and white.

“Wife, this realm must be where the fortune lies. There are no more seals or dangers nearby,” Jiang Chengxuan reassured Shen Ruyan after a moment.

Shen Ruyan nodded slightly and also spread her Dao rule of the Five Color Divine Thunder into the void, probing the surroundings.

After a moment, she slowly spoke to Jiang Chengxuan, “Husband, this black and white realm seems to contain extremely powerful and pure Dao rules. Perhaps, this is where the fortune lies.”

Feeling the sheer purity and immense aura from the simple black and white, Shen Ruyan sensed a profound power.

“That’s correct, Wife. If I am not mistaken, this place is likely a realm concealing the rules of life and death,” Jiang Chengxuan explained to Shen Ruyan.

Earlier, when opening the stone doors, he had used his Dao rule and deductive abilities to peer into and even steal some of the doors’ power. At that time, he had felt an aura similar to the Dao of Samsara, which now appeared to undoubtedly be the Dao rules of life and death.

“Rules of life and death…”

Shen Ruyan murmured, her beautiful eyes widening with astonishment. The rules of life and death, being cosmic Dao rules, were an incredibly precious opportunity, even for someone as advanced as Jiang Chengxuan, who had been nurtured by the system to have high standards.

And for Shen Ruyan, who had yet to experience such new Dao rules, the prospect was even more valuable.

Faced with such an opportunity, excitement surged in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, his heart nearly bursting with joy.

He possessed two major Dao rules: the Five Elements and Samsara, both of cosmic level.

The Five Elements Dao had been honed and realized through his own efforts, accompanying him for the longest time, while the Samsara Dao had been developed through personal enlightenment and the system’s imparted gifts, allowing him to fully grasp it.

This proved how difficult it was to obtain the power of a great Dao.

Many cultivators who achieve enlightenment often grasp only the most basic rules; the powers of the great Dao are incredibly rare. Even with the system, Jiang Chengxuan possessed only two types, one more than an ordinary cultivator.

Opportunities to encounter such great Dao are exceedingly rare and sought after.

To comprehend a great Dao, one must be immersed in its environment and have sufficient Dao rule as support. At this moment, the black and white world around them was precisely such an environment.

Their excitement was understandable given the circumstances. This world of black and white was effectively a realm of life and death, containing exceptionally pure rules of life and death.

It was likely set up by an ancient immortal, who perhaps was one of the ultimate cultivators of the rules of life and death.

For reasons unknown, he vanished, leaving his legacy here behind these doors that required tremendous deductive power to open.

Because comprehension doesn’t demand great strength from the cultivators—what matters most is the power of understanding.

Deductive ability is a manifestation of this power. Anyone capable of making significant advancements in deduction possesses great wisdom.

Perhaps the ancient immortal believed that only such individuals were worthy of contemplating this fragment of power. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

However, this was merely the lowest threshold; truly comprehending the rules of life and death contained here would not be easy.

Especially for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had never encountered this rule before and had not cultivated the methods of life and death, the difficulty was likely as challenging as advancing to a major realm of cultivation.

This test was undoubtedly a trial of their talents.
