With a dull thud, the dark figure vanished completely.
Taichu let out a long sigh, looked at the people around him, and with a wave of his hand, put away the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron.
"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough!"
"Congratulations, Sect Leader, on your breakthrough!"
Everyone bowed to the Taichu Beginning.
Liu Guang leaned closer. "Sect Leader, I can feel an extremely strong pressure emanating from you right now. What is your cultivation level?"
When Liu Guang asked this question, everyone turned their attention to Taichu.
Taichu smiled slightly, "I am now an eighth-order True Lord!"
"An eighth-tier True Lord, no wonder Master is so strong!" Caifeng murmured to herself after hearing this.
Liu Guang looked at Taichu with a face full of question marks, "Sect Leader, wasn't that black shadow Ninth Order True Lord? How could you, an eighth-level True Lord, take it down so easily?"
"That crystal is the source of energy that the shadow devoured. Because the shadow cannot condense a physical body, it can only rely on the power of these energy sources to cause trouble."
"Now that I have absorbed these energy sources, he is naturally no match for me as the balance of power shifts."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Taichu surveyed the crowd and slowly spoke, "Although we successfully defeated the shadowy figure this time, the crisis is not over. There are definitely more powerful figures coveting this continent."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Liu Guang stepped forward, his eyes resolute. "Sect Leader, with your current cultivation level, why not create a divine domain? This way, your cultivation will increase even faster."
Everyone else chimed in with agreement.
Taichu shook his head. "No rush. Opening up a divine realm is definitely necessary, but right now the most urgent task is to quickly improve your strength."
"How can we quickly improve our strength?" Liu Guang looked at Taichu with a puzzled expression.
Taichu nodded slightly. "I have my own arrangements for this matter. Let's leave here first. I can sense that several powerful auras are heading this way."
After saying that, Taichu and the others disappeared from the spot.
In the Taichu, shortly after everyone disappeared.
The Lord of High Heaven World Realm, the Lingyun Master, and several other Realm Lords have appeared at the place where the Taichu disappeared.
Lingyun Master frowned. "It seems I'm still a step too late. I didn't expect him to disappear so quickly. Why did the White Emperor appear here but not summon me?"
Just as the Lingyun World Master was muttering to himself, the Lord of Azure Underworld, Azure Underworld Immortal, also arrived beside Lingyun.
"Brother Qingming, it seems the White Emperor has already left..."
Azure Underworld Immortal frowned deeply. "Brother, are you sure it's the White Emperor?"
The Lingyun World Master shook his head. "I only sensed a trace of the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron's aura; in the end, I arrived a step too late."
"Brother, please don't say that. Now that the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron Present World, it means that the previous rumors may not be credible."
"I hope so!"
As the two were speaking, several more powerful auras surged in.
"Now that you're all here, there's no need to hide yourselves. Just come out and meet us..."
The Lingyun World Master's expression hardened as he looked into the distance.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures emerged from the shadows.
"Hahaha, it's been many years. I didn't expect that Lingyun World Master's strength has become even more profound. We were detected by Fellow Daoist Lingyun as soon as we appeared."
"Fellow Daoist, I am truly unworthy of such a title. I dare not address you as Fellow Daoist, Nine Yang Divine Lord. Please show some respect."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lingyun Master is still so aloof."
A Black-Robed Old Man, exuding a dark aura, also appeared in the same spot.
Azure Underworld Immortal snorted coldly, "Who do we have here? It's none other than the Nine Nether Old Ghost!"
"What, Qingming? Are you not welcoming me?"
"As expected, they're vermin, disliked everywhere they go." The Dragon Abyss World Lord and the Black Tortoise World Lord also drifted over.
"Long Yuan, you're courting death..."
The Dragon Abyss World Lord ignored Daoist Jiuyou and bowed directly to Lingyun and Qingming, saying, "It's been a long time since we last met, fellow Daoists."
Lingyun and Qing Ming returned the greeting, saying, "We didn't expect you two fellow Daoists to come as well."
In an instant, the realm lords of High Heaven World, Azure Underworld, Nine Yang World, Nine Netherworld, Dragon Abyss World, and Black Tortoise World all arrived.
The rulers of the eight realms of the Hundun world were almost all present.
The Lingyun World Master snorted coldly, "You came quite quickly. If the White Emperor hadn't left early, you would all be a bloody mess by now."
The Nine Yang Divine Lord looked at the Lingyun World Master with a gloomy face and also snorted coldly:
"Lingyun World Master, why bother? We certainly wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of that lord. But you don't need to be so aggressive. If you can't beat me, I'll exchange a few blows with you."
The two were about to fight when Azure Underworld Immortal pulled Lingyun World Master back, saying, "Brother, it's not the right time to fight. Let him go first."
The appearance of the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron brought about all of this, but the fleeing Taichu was completely unaware of it.
Taichu, who had disappeared with everyone, sensed numerous powerful auras and was still shaken.
"It seems that the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron -Suppressing Cauldron should not be revealed lightly unless absolutely necessary."
Taichu led everyone at breakneck speed toward Illusory Star Valley.
After overcoming numerous hardships, we finally arrived at Illusory Star Valley.
Taichu stood outside Illusory Star Valley, looking around.
The place is rich in spiritual energy, but it also harbors a hint of danger.
"Although this place appears peaceful, it actually hides a secret. You must not wander around carelessly," Taichu warned the group.
However, Liu Guang was naturally curious, and while Taichu was checking the restrictions in the valley, he went around exploring outside Illusory Star Valley.
Before long, the Liu Guang accidentally touched an ancient formation, and instantly a bright light shone, and an alarm sounded throughout the valley.
Taichu rushed over and saw Liu Guang trapped in the formation, his expression turning grave.
At this moment, the distant sky was filled with changing clouds, and streaks of Liu Guang rose up in the Illusory Star Valley, rushing out of the valley.
Countless powerful auras instantly locked onto everyone.
Taichu formed a hand seal, and a spiritual energy barrier enveloped everyone.
His gaze was cold and stern as he said in a low voice, "The newcomers are hostile and their strength is far too great. Everyone, stand behind me and do not move rashly."
As he spoke, Taichu shielded the group behind him.
Those powerful auras drew closer and closer, and in a short while, they appeared before Taichu and the others.
Looking around, one after another, giant apes that looked like giants were coming from all directions.
The leader, holding a long staff that emitted a ghostly light, sized up Taichu and the others.
"This is the sacred Illusory Star Valley of our clan. What are your intentions in trespassing here?" The man's voice was icy.
Liu Guang took a few steps back, his mouth agape. "He's actually at the Half-Step Great Dao Realm."
Taichu stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "We have no intention of offending you; we have only come here to escape pursuit."
The mysterious man sneered, "Stop making excuses, intruders die." He then prepared to strike with his stick.
"Wait—!"
Six-Eared Macaque emerged from behind Taichu, revealing his Demon Ape True Body.
The leader was taken aback when he saw Six-Eared Macaque.
Six-Eared Macaque stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"I am the Six-Eared Macaque. Guided by the elders of the Ancient Spirit Clan, I have come to find my people. This person is my master, the Taichu True Lord. I hope you will show mercy."
As soon as Six-Eared Macaque finished speaking, the leader slowly put down the stick in his hand.
A distant voice called out, "Tong Yuan Protector, bring them in."
