The Fate Altar, Ling Xiao Emerges from Seclusion
More and more immortals flew over to the South Heaven Gate of Heavenly Court. When they saw the Duke of the East, strange expressions immediately appeared on their faces.
I wondered, what's this unlucky guy doing here?
Ignoring the strange and disdainful expressions of the immortals, the Duke of the East immediately cupped his hands in greeting and laughed:
"Fellow Daoists, your timing is unfortunate. The Heavenly Emperor is out. Please come another day!"
He immediately declared that he would drive out these competitors.
"The Heavenly Emperor is not here?" The immortals looked on with suspicion.
"Since you're not here, I'll wait for you," a powerful figure immediately said, unwilling to leave.
"Yes, yes, since we're already here, it's okay to wait a bit."
"Duke of the East, you told us to leave, so why don't you leave?" a celestial said with a mocking smile.
The Duke of the East's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered and put his hands behind his back, adopting a master's posture.
"Hehe, since fellow Daoists are unwilling to leave, then please wait here. There's no need for you to be so formal; you are all guests here, and our Heavenly Court will treat you well."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the immortals changed slightly, and the scene suddenly became extremely interesting.
Judging from what the Duke of the East said, it seems he has already submitted to the Heavenly Court?
The atmosphere fell silent. The immortals looked at the composed Eastern Duke of the East, exchanged glances, and stopped speaking rashly, waiting quietly.
On Penglai Immortal Island, within Ling Xiao's Daoist temple, inside the Chaos Bead, the Heavenly Dao evolves, and all things change.
Unbeknownst to her, Ao Qing had settled down here. She studied the laws of Heavenly Dao and cultivated diligently day and night, and has now entered the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
She traveled through the Chaos World, the vast and boundless land, the secret realms created at the beginning of time, and the small worlds of different planes, leaving behind many legends.
They even became the creators of some civilizations.
There was no one Ao Qing knew in this world, and with nothing to do but cultivate, she unleashed her potential and turned loneliness into motivation.
Furthermore, due to the differences in the world, Ao Qing's cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort, and the entire dragon seemed to undergo a complete transformation.
All these changes were observed by Ling Xiao, who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao Ling Xiao. It wasn't that he had any voyeuristic tendencies, but rather that he was observing Ao Qing's transformation.
After all, this is an alien species, a being that does not belong to the Chaos World at all. Whether it can adapt to this place and grow up in the Chaos World is still an unknown.
Therefore, Ling Xiao paid special attention to it.
When he saw that even a dragon like Ao Qing could adapt to the world and advance triumphantly, he immediately understood what was going on.
Overall, he is not suppressing this world or using the authority of the Heavenly Dao to restrict it, which allows Ao Qing to cultivate and make rapid progress.
With a thought, Ling Xiao withdrew from the Heavenly Dao Domain and sat cross-legged under the World Tree.
Over the years, he has comprehended the laws of Heavenly Dao and gained much. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao of the Chaos World has also been growing continuously, and it is now roughly equivalent to the third level of the Primordial Origin Sage.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao was about to pack up and leave when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't yet seen the Chaos Exotic Treasure that the system had rewarded him with last time.
Chaos Exotic Treasure are of a slightly higher level than Chaos Spirit Treasure; they are all rare and wondrous magical artifacts with unique and wonderful uses.
For example, the Heavenly Dao Treasure Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, Saint-Slaying Pill.
In theory, Chaos Exotic Treasure should be stronger than Heavenly Dao Treasures.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao had a thought and went into the system space to check the magical treasures he had been rewarded with.
A little while later.
"The breath of Fate..."
Ling Xiao's expression shifted slightly as he withdrew his divine sense, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This is a magical artifact shaped like an altar, called the Fate Altar. In addition to the power of Fate, it also contains the way of high priesthood.
This magical artifact can reverse Fate. All beings who ascend the altar and receive the sacrificial inheritance have the hope of changing their Fate, breaking free from shackles, changing their origins, and reaching the supreme realm.
The Fate Altar has many wonderful uses; this is just one of them.
"A decent magic weapon, better than nothing."
Ling Xiao commented that this magic weapon wouldn't significantly improve his abilities, because someone of his level couldn't ascend the altar and undergo a transformation through sacrifice.
Because this magical artifact, by its very nature, cannot contain his supreme body.
Ling Xiao put away his magical artifact, left the Chaos Bead, and returned to his Daoist temple on Penglai Immortal Island.
Upon returning to the Primordial World, he sensed Di Jun and Ziwei lingering outside the dojo, clearly waiting for him to emerge from seclusion.
"Brother, Ziwei, I've returned. What do you need me for?"
Ling Xiao's voice rang out, the gates of the dojo opened, and Di Jun and Ziwei were overjoyed, walking in one after the other.
"Third Brother, how are you? How badly are you injured?"
Upon entering the main hall, Di Jun first inquired with concern.
"It's alright, he's fine now," Ling Xiao said with a smile. He hadn't expected that Di Jun, who seemed anxious, would be concerned about his injuries first.
Di Jun nodded before getting down to business, "During your recent seclusion, two major events occurred: first, Laozi established the All-Spirit Sect, and second, Haotian became a saint. I feel there's some conspiracy involved."
"Third Brother, what do you think?"
Di Jun asked with a sheepish smile. At first, he was full of confidence and swagger, but after Haotian proved himself, he found that things were not so simple.
If you can't make up your mind, you still have to go to your Third Brother for advice.
He couldn't outmaneuver Hongjun's group of old idiots; his Third Brother had to step in.
"Oh! Haotian has become a saint?" Ling Xiao's expression changed; this was truly astonishing. He never expected that the Jade Emperor could also become a saint.
In the TV series, the Jade Emperor's son was so degraded that he was forced to hide under a table, yet he eventually became a saint.
This is not right.
As for Laozi Tzu establishing the All-Spirit Sect to replace the Human Sect, this action also surprised him.
This shows that Heavenly Dao intends to eliminate the Human Race and replace it with someone more obedient and easier to control.
"Third Brother, do you have any good ideas? Give that Old Earthworm a good slap in the face!" Di Jun said viciously.
"Earthworms don't have faces, do they?" Ziwei asked in a low voice, puzzled.
Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "No rush, let's play along with him."
"It won't be long before I bring about a new era!"
Upon hearing this, both Di Jun and Ziwei were stunned. They sensed a powerful will in those last words.
A new era dawns.
Wouldn't this mean...?
Now that the sun has been replaced by Ling Xiao, things won't be far off!
Thinking of this, Di Jun and Ziwei suddenly became excited.
"Third Brother, with your words, I understand." Di Jun nodded in a perfunctory manner, patting Ling Xiao's shoulder in approval.
In the present-day Primordial World, only he dares to pat Ling Xiao on the shoulder like that.
Ling Xiao remained silent, his eyes filled with contemplation. According to the original Primordial World storyline, after the Three Sovereigns Tribulation of the Human Race, the greatest Tribulation in the prehistoric Primordial World would be the Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe.
From that time on, the Primordial World never returned.
