The World Tree's Secret, Heavenly Dao's Warning, Hongjun's Shock (Please Bookmark, Comment, and Offer Guidance)

"Second Brother, there's something Elder Brother isn't sure whether he should say."

Dijun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided that they should be honest with each other. Looking at Taiyi with a serious expression, he asked.

"Go ahead, Elder Brother. There's no need for formality between us brothers."

Taiyi nodded firmly and replied with a smile.

"Why are you unwilling to go to Purple Cloud Palace to hear the Sage's teachings?"

"You must know that he is the first Supreme Great Power in the Primordial World to become a Sage!"

"For Grand Luo Golden Immortals like us, a Sage's lecture is an enormous opportunity. It can point us toward a great path leading directly to Primordial Chaos."

"Could there be some hidden reason behind this?"

This was precisely what puzzled Dijun.

Logically speaking, this was clearly an immense opportunity for the two brothers. Why was his Second Brother so resistant to it?

Could a Sage possibly deceive them?

That was a Sage!

If he truly wished to deal with them, would it not be as easy as turning his hand?

Thus, Dijun was deeply confused and could not understand Taiyi's actions.

Hearing Elder Brother Dijun's question, Taiyi did not immediately refute him. Instead, he pondered briefly, considering how to answer.

After thinking it over and organizing his words, he said vaguely, "Elder Brother, it is not that I am unwilling to go to Purple Cloud Palace and hear the Sage's lecture. There are other reasons involved, but it is not convenient for me to explain them to you."

"If you trust your Second Brother, then remain here in Sun Palace with me. Cultivate in peace and ignore worldly matters."

"Only then will you possess the supreme method to transcend safely. In the future, you will naturally attain the supreme Dao Fruit and prove Dao Hunyuan Limitless."

Dijun was utterly stunned and dumbfounded.

He could transcend the Primordial World and attain the Primordial Great Dao just by lying around at home?

Had his Second Brother not woken up yet? Or had cultivation turned him stupid?

At this thought, Dijun could not help looking at Taiyi with concern.

"Second Brother, are you all right? Do you want Elder Brother to take a look at you?"

Under Elder Brother Dijun's concerned gaze, Taiyi's face darkened slightly.

Do I really look that much like some powerhouse who just walked out of a mental asylum?

At that thought, Taiyi's heart stirred.

His five hundred years of effort and comprehension had not been wasted.

He had already unlocked a small portion of the World Tree—the Jianmu Divine Tree's—abilities.

One of its functions was the ability to independently create a three-dimensional space-time world separate from the Primordial Universe.

It was worth mentioning that all blessed grotto-heavens and dimensional spaces created by living beings and spiritual treasures within the Primordial World were part of the Primordial Universe and could not escape the Heavenly Dao's control.

Therefore, there could be no true secrets within them.

For instance, the spiritual treasure space within the Rivers and Mountains Map that Taiyi currently possessed.

For Sage Hongjun to investigate its contents would take no more than a single thought.

To a Sage, all matters under heaven were as clear as lines on one's palm.

There were no secrets in a Sage's eyes.

Therefore, as both a witness who understood the future historical course of the Primordial Universe and a current participant, there were some things Taiyi could not conveniently state outright.

He feared drawing Daoist Hongjun's attention and the Heavenly Dao's surveillance.

"Elder Brother, come with me."

After thinking it over, Taiyi felt that it was necessary to reveal a little of the truth to his ambitious, aspiring Elder Brother.

Otherwise, if his foolish Elder Brother accidentally walked into the trap arranged by Sage Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao—

and their fates became entangled, dragging him into the Witch and Demon Cataclysm—then he truly would have nowhere to cry.

If a Sage wanted you dead, would you dare refuse?

Even if you did not want to die, you would still have to die!

Everything would be arranged for you perfectly.

Moreover, Taiyi's fate was linked with Dijun's. They prospered together and suffered together.

Now that Taiyi had the Homebody Choice System, all he needed to do was stay safely at home.

He could cultivate all the way to becoming a Hunyuan Limitless Grand Luo Golden Immortal without encountering any bottlenecks.

He could even reach realms and cultivation levels beyond that.

Why go outside, invite a heap of trouble, and become entangled in the karmic cause and effect of a great calamity?

In Taiyi's eyes, the so-called struggle for supremacy over the Primordial World was nothing more than a Sage's game, false beyond measure.

What did an empire that lasted for ages matter?

With a single thought from a Sage, everything could be destroyed—dynasties could collapse and great Daos could perish.

Therefore, Taiyi had little faith in his brother Dijun's plan to dominate the Primordial World, gather the demon race's fortune, and prove Dao.

The path had already been laid out for them so clearly. What was there left to fight for?

Just lie flat, and that was that.

Perhaps he would lie there long enough to rise straight through the clouds and step directly into Primordial Chaos.

Although Dijun found it strange that his Second Brother was being so mysterious, he said nothing. Carrying his curiosity, he followed Taiyi to the secret chamber behind the palace.

"Elder Brother, what happens next may be somewhat beyond your imagination. Please do not be alarmed."

"Also, please lower your defenses of spiritual power and primordial spirit. Only then can I bring you inside."

After bringing Dijun to the secret chamber, Taiyi explained things in advance.

"I understand."

"Just do as you see fit, Brother."

Dijun took a deep breath, as though encouraging himself.

Then he nodded at Taiyi, indicating that he was ready.

Taiyi said nothing more, but still felt somewhat uneasy. He took out the Chaos Bell once again.

He infused it with a stream of spiritual power, activating the Chaos Bell's divine ability to reverse space-time and obscure primordial chaos.

Streams of Yellow Profound Chaos Energy descended, enveloping the two brothers, Taiyi and Dijun.

Then, with a thought from Taiyi, a tiny space-time rift appeared within the Chaos Bell's space.

Taiyi and Dijun vanished from this world in an instant, leaving behind not even the slightest trace of their auras.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao sensed something and issued a trembling warning.

At the same time, within Purple Cloud Palace in the Outer Chaos Heavens.

An aged Daoist sat cross-legged atop a meditation cushion. Saintly pressure radiated from his entire body, so immense that heaven and earth could not contain his figure. The space-time around him collapsed and annihilated inch by inch, only to repeat in endless cycles, while countless strange phenomena manifested in dazzling profusion.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed something. His eyes snapped open, and a weathered gleam that seemed to see through all worldly affairs flashed and vanished. His long white longevity brows, hanging like willow branches, furrowed slightly.

"The Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Heavenly Emperor Dijun, the joint rulers of the demon race destined to drive the Witch and Demon Cataclysm forward, have actually vanished from the Primordial Universe in an instant?"

"And they did not vanish from the Primordial World into chaos. They simply disappeared within the Primordial World itself?"

"What is going on?"

Sage Hongjun calculated on his fingers, his two long longevity brows nearly twisting into a knot.

Since the Primordial World had been created, no one had ever been able to vanish directly from the Primordial Universe.

Even those quasi-Sage experts possessing supreme treasures only vanished from the Primordial Starry Sky into the dimensional spaces they had created.

Yet they still could not escape the Space-Time Barrier of the Primordial Universe.

And yet now, Taiyi and Dijun had directly vanished from within the Primordial Universe's barrier!

This was exceedingly strange.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao had warned him.
