The Devil Lord's Primordial Soul
Nan Feng's answer made Li Fan understand instantly.
Damn it, this Profound Heaven Realm is full of cultivators...
Nobody's learning math! Nobody's learning math!
So it's not that these thousands of people are too stupid or have low IQs, but rather that I set the question very... hastily!
"Master, what is the Great Dao of Mathematics? I've heard of the odd numbers of the celestial sphere; is that related to this?"
"And what is geometry? These two words seem to point directly to the essence of the Tao..."
Ziling, being very eager to learn, immediately asked Li Fan for guidance.
Li Fan felt slightly embarrassed, but not wanting to say it directly, he simply replied, "More or less."
"Nan Feng, go and take that question from the village entrance."
It's pointless to leave it there; nobody will recognize it.
The Nan Feng immediately departed in response.
Before long, she arrived at the village entrance.
Looking outside, Nan Feng saw two young people still unwilling to leave. He sighed and took down the question.
The moment she unveiled the question, Dugu Yuqing and the others outside were all startled, because the terrifying golden characters, the terrifying triangle, and the barrier all disappeared!
"Goddess, wait!"
Seeing that Nan Feng was about to leave, Dugu Yuqing hurriedly spoke up, saying, "Goddess, are you... that senior's disciple?"
Nan Feng turned around and said, "Yes."
Dugu Yuqing asked, "Goddess, why did you reveal the question? Did some senior give you some instructions?"
Qing Chen was also looking at Nan Feng.
Nan Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "No one in the Profound Heaven Realm can solve this problem."
"Because this involves two supreme principles."
"Mathematics, Geometry."
Upon hearing this, both Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen were stunned.
Mathematics? Geometry?
I've never heard of that before!
"Goddess, now that you have revealed the answer, does this mean we may enter to pay our respects to that senior?"
Qing Chen spoke hesitantly.
Nan Feng was also somewhat confused by this, as his master hadn't mentioned it...
"Master did not explain."
After saying that, she left.
Outside the village, Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen exchanged a glance, both lost in confusion.
Now.
Profound Heaven Realm.
At the edge of the Profound Yellow Sea of Mist, amidst the vast expanse of smoke and waves.
"Chen Yun has sent back a message."
Yu Chenbing spoke!
Immediately, the black-robed men around gathered around.
A crystal ball appeared in Yu Chenbing's hand!
A beam of light entered Yu Chenbing's mind from inside the crystal ball.
He immediately said, "After Chen Yun's exploration of the Immortal Realm, it was discovered that the Profound Heaven Realm is located in the Far North Land the Northern Immortal Realm, in an Immortal City called Holy Cloud City!"
"The existence in the Southern Domain is very likely a Devil Cultivator named Ming Tianbei!"
"Three hundred years ago, Ming Tianbei stole the Tianhun Pearl from the Heavenly Soul Tianhun Sect and fled to the lower realm. At that time, his cultivation level was already at the Immortal Realm!"
"According to the information Chen Yun gathered, that Devil Cultivator was ruthless, often killing people thoroughly, leaving their souls scattered. This matches the deaths of Zang Xuan, Luo Ming, and the other two."
Upon hearing this, all the men in black robes tensed up!
"... Forcibly entering the lower realm from the Immortal Realm comes at a heavy price. Even Immortal Realm could easily fall below the Immortal Realm upon entering the lower realm!"
"Therefore, this Devil Cultivator has likely been recuperating for the past three hundred years, and now that he has made his move again... his cultivation level has at least recovered to that of True Immortal!"
"In that case, things might get a bit complicated. We need to report to the branch headquarters and at least request that they send a Xuanxian-level expert!"
Everyone started to speak!
Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal!
This is the division of realms in the Immortal Realm.
Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal is the Primordial Golden Immortal, who is revered as an Immortal Lord!
Mythical beings like Immortal Kings are even above Immortal Lords.
Each realm is a true chasm.
If the one hiding in the Southern Domain is indeed that Devil Cultivator, and has truly recovered his cultivation, then these True Immortal are utterly powerless against him.
"No... the Profound Heaven Realm Immortal appears, it will be detected by the Immortal Realm."
"Therefore, even if the opponent recovers their cultivation, they can only dare to remain at the Profound Immortal Realm at most."
Yu Chenbing spoke up, pondering, and said, "Moreover, if the being in the Southern Domain really is that Devil Cultivator, perhaps we don't need to take action; Holy Cloud City is already hunting him down..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.
"We only need to confirm one thing now: is the one in the Southern Domain truly the Devil Cultivator Ming Tianbei?"
"Perhaps we should make a trip."
He spoke up, saying, "Wang Chuan, you're coming with me."
Many True Immortal were startled.
Southern Domain.
The damaged Cangli Mountain Range.
Since the Ascension Platform was destroyed and the True Immortal wept blood, no one has come to this area anymore.
The Supreme Being Graveyard became deathly quiet, with only the soil stained red by the blood of True Immortal revealing a unique and poignant beauty.
Suddenly, a faint wisp of black mist began to seep from the ground of the Supreme Being Graveyard.
Underground.
In the deepest depths, there exists a secret chamber!
Inside the secret chamber, green will-o'-the-wisps glowed faintly, and in the center of the chamber stood a pitch-black iron coffin!
The iron coffin was engraved with many ancient and anti-corruption magic runes.
Beside the iron coffin stood a bald man, his face wrinkled as if much of his life had slipped away, dressed in a black robe, resembling a ghost.
"It's been three hundred years. Three hundred years of nurturing by the Tianhun Pearl, the Devil Lord Primordial Soul should have awakened by now..."
The man muttered to himself.
He looked up and murmured, "A few days ago, an incredibly terrifying sword intent pierced through the thousands of feet of earth above. Fortunately, it wasn't targeting this place; otherwise, even this Devil Coffin probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it, and I would have been killed instantly..."
"A sword intent that can emanate such power is a rare sight even in the entire Immortal Realm... Hopefully, it's not a powerful being from the Immortal Realm who has noticed this place; otherwise, the Devil Lord 'Primordial Soul might not be able to emerge..."
Suddenly, he noticed wisps of black energy beginning to appear at the edge of the Devil Coffin.
"Demonic energy is surging... It seems the Devil Lord's Primordial Soul will soon be born!"
The bald man instantly became excited!
Small Mountain Village.
"Should we go in?"
Dugu Yuqing's face was filled with hesitation!
The barrier is now gone, and they can enter the mountain village.
But that senior didn't say they could come in...
This left him feeling uncertain, extremely eager, yet he dared not act rashly.
Beside him, the monk Qing Chen paused for a moment, then finally raised his head, looking resolutely at the mountain village ahead, and said, "I have become a cripple. Life and death are of no importance to me."
"I will go inside."
After saying that, he took a step forward.
He's going to seize a fortuitous opportunity!
Upon seeing this, Dugu Yuqing was also momentarily stunned.
"Yes, if Qing Chen can think this way, what do I have to fear?"
His gaze gradually focused, and he murmured, "Only by entering it can one pursue the most powerful sword path. Rather than living a meaningless life outside, it's better to enter it, even if it means death!"
He followed immediately.
The two entered the Small Mountain Village, and along the way, they were quite surprised by the food they encountered.
"A top-grade spirit medicine? It was just casually planted in a farmer's house?"
"Heavens! What kind of medicinal field is this? Even the weeds have grown to the level of Top-grade Spirit Medicine!"
"It's clearly an ordinary stone house, but why does it feel like a Blessed Land to me?"
The further they walked, the more terrified they became.
"These must all have been bestowed upon us by this reclusive senior!"
Qing Chen spoke solemnly, his anticipation and excitement growing stronger!
"Let's go! I can't wait!"
Dugu Yuqing also moved forward.
Before long, they finally saw an elegant Small Courtyard.
A stone wall separates the Small Courtyard from the outside world, and above the wooden door, a calligraphy scroll bears four large characters:
"Unique Leisurely Courtyard!"
Upon seeing this, Qing Chen gasped and exclaimed, "The master of this place must be High Immortal! Such demeanor, such spirit... it's unimaginable!"
Dugu Yuqing stared wide-eyed at those four words, almost unable to move!
"A single stroke reveals the Great Dao, a single line reveals the light of a sword... containing within it the most powerful swordsmanship in the world... I've found it, I've found it!"
He was extremely excited!
The two exchanged a glance, both took a deep breath, and immediately stepped forward, saying:
"Qing Chen from Kongming Temple has come to pay his respects to the senior!"
"Dugu Yuqing of the Dugu Family has come to pay his respects to the senior!"
The two of them spoke!
