Divine Ability Great Chaos Hole Palm!

"Senior brother, what brings you here?"

Zhou Hao put away his Law of Heaven and Earth abilities and stood with Lü Dongbin.

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been forced to take the blame?"

After saying this with a half-smile, Lü Dongbin raised his voice and said to the Nine-Headed Celestial God and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "It was the Withered Grass Fairy from Hundred Graves Mountain who killed your two celestial disciples, not my junior brother."

Zhou Hao's expression changed, and he was about to speak when Lü Dongbin waved his hand to stop him, secretly transmitting his voice. "I know what Junior Brother is worried about. Don't worry, the background of Hundred Graves Mountain is astonishing. That little girl who had a deep relationship with you in your past life will be fine."

"Senior brother, you already knew?" Zhou Hao asked, surprised.

"It was Master who said it, otherwise why would I have made this special trip?" Lü Dongbin said solemnly. "The Hundred Graves Mountain has a close relationship with a powerful figure in the Wujian Faction, and that powerful figure is no less formidable than Master. Master is worried that you might get too involved because of your past life's affections, and it would be troublesome if you fell into their trap. Junior Brother, don't interfere in this matter anymore; let me handle it."

Hundred Graves Mountain is a faction within the Wujian Faction...

Zhou Hao felt a mix of emotions; his earlier worries had indeed come true.

On the other side, all eighteen compound eyes on the head of the Nine-Headed Celestial God being stared at Lü Dongbin: "The Withered Grass of Hundred Graves Mountain? Why did she attack my disciple?"

"Then you'll have to ask her yourself," Lü Dongbin said.

"How do we know you didn't deliberately involve Hundred Graves Mountain to save your junior brother?" True Immortal Taotie sneered.

"Anyway, I've delivered the message. Believe it or not, it's up to you," Lü Dongbin chuckled. "If I truly came only to save people, I wouldn't need to lie. With my junior brother's and my strength, if we really wanted to leave, could you possibly stop us?"

True Immortal Taotie choked upon hearing this.

Judging from the strength Zhou Hao just displayed, the sixth level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art makes his divine body difficult to harm and he is not afraid of secret techniques that attack the soul. Even if he and his senior brother joined forces, they might not be able to keep him, let alone with the addition of Lü Dongbin, the most outstanding sword immortal among the Pure Yang True Immortal.

"I didn't believe Fellow Daoist Zhou would attack two Celestial Immortal disciples without reason, but now that I think about it, the woman who arrived on that island around the same time as Feiyi and Zhu Tou, judging from her background, is a demon immortal who rose from a plant spirit... It seems the root of the matter lies with that demon immortal woman." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slowly. "Donghua, Fellow Daoist Zhou, since that's the case, I'll take my leave now."

He came with the Nine-Headed Celestial God because he was worried that Zhou Hao would clash with the Nine-Headed and make things worse. Now that Lü Dongbin is here, he knows that the Dao Sect must already be paying attention, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was leaving without a word, the Nine-Headed Celestial God also withdrew from his original form and transformed back into human form.

Although he was still resentful that Zhou Hao had destroyed more than half of the essence of his magic weapon, as Lü Dongbin said, even if he was confident, he dared not say that he could keep the two of them alive.

Furthermore, this is within the territory of the Dao Sect.

They were just being polite; they only sent a Pure Yang True Immortal.

If they weren't going to be polite, any powerful figure could easily slap them to death, and then even if they were truly in the right, they'd have no recourse.

"Let's leave today's matter alone. Whether it was Withered Grass who killed my disciple, I will naturally verify that. But as for damaging the essence of my magic treasure, the Heavenly Demon Banner..." The Nine-Headed Celestial God coldly looked at Zhou Hao, "We'll have plenty of opportunities to settle this later."

"I'll be waiting anytime." Zhou Hao's lips curled into a smile.

Anyone can say something bluffing.

This time I may have made you suffer a loss, and next time I may have made you suffer the same fate.

With the departure of the three Pure Yang True Immortal, the place returned to peace once more.

When Zhou Hao learned that Lü Dongbin had come not only on his master's orders to mediate between him and the Nine-Headed Celestial God, but also to take him to Kunlun Mountain to meet his master, he immediately released the Eight Views Imperial Carriage again, and the two brothers rode the celestial carriage eastward.

Inside the Immortal Chariot.

"They say a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation." Lü Dongbin looked Zhou Hao up and down and clicked his tongue in admiration. "Junior brother, the ' Heavenly Demon Godslaying ' technique that Nine-Headed used with the Heavenly Demon Banner is one of the top soul attack techniques in the Three Realms. You actually withstood it and even injured his Heavenly Demon essence. You are truly amazing."

"It was also luck," Zhou Hao laughed. "I happened to be comprehending mental power and had just mastered a new Heartforce Soul Control technique, which is why the Nine-Headed's secret technique failed. Otherwise, I would definitely have been the one to suffer this loss."

"The Heartforce Soul Control Technique?" Lü Dongbin said with some envy, "Even in the Three Realms, this kind of technique is the most top-tier and precious technique, no less than the most powerful divine abilities. No wonder the Nine-Headed suffered a loss."

"Senior brother, I've always wanted to repay you for your secret technique, ' Heaven Escape Needle Art,' since I first learned it from you. Now that you've come to mediate and resolve this, why don't I give you this technique?" Zhou Hao said with a smile.

"That won't do!" Lü Dongbin shook his head. "The Heaven Escape Needle Art was something I created casually back then, nothing to brag about. You obtaining it is your own good fortune. I came here this time on my master's orders, how could it be worthy of such treatment from you, junior brother?"

"Between you and me, fellow disciples, what's wrong with that? Besides, Master has entrusted me with the task of being the vanguard of the Dao Sect in the future, to face the calamities of war. I need your assistance, Senior Brother. If you master this method and your strength advances further, becoming a Dao Ancestor, you certainly won't forget me..."

After Zhou Hao's earnest words, he finally passed on the Dharma to Lü Dongbin, fulfilling the entrustment made by the Jade Pool Golden Mother before her departure.

After Lü Dongbin carefully read through the mental cultivation method transmitted by Zhou Hao's divine sense, he naturally understood its preciousness and immediately said solemnly, "I cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. If I achieve anything in the future, I will never forget the kindness you showed me today."

"It's good that you remember this, Senior Brother. As for thanking me, you shouldn't thank me," Zhou Hao said meaningfully. "I was just fulfilling someone else's request."

"Oh?" Lü Dongbin asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"Senior brother, have you forgotten where I came from?" Zhou Hao said with a smile.

"It's her?" Lü Dongbin was stunned for a long time, then let out a long sigh and remained silent for a long time.

As for Zhou Hao, he remained silent.

When it comes to matters of the heart, how can outsiders possibly understand them?

Although the Jade Pool Golden Mother forbade me to reveal the details, since I didn't explicitly say so, and Lü Dongbin guessed it himself, it's none of my business.

Kunlun Mountain, as the ancestral home of the Dao Sect, is said to have been formed from the spine of the great god Pangu after his death, which was transformed into Buzhou Mount Buzhou. It was also transformed from the broken peak left by Gonggong, the Ancestor God of water, and was therefore also known as Kunlun Ruins.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, you can still see the majestic High Mountain that stand tall and imposing, with their peaks as smooth as platforms.

On the platform, the continuous palaces radiated countless rays of light and auspicious energy. Even those thousands of miles away could feel the magnificent and ancient magic array within, constantly drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.

"We've arrived." Lü Dongbin and Zhou Hao stepped out of the celestial chariot and stood in mid-air. Lü Dongbin introduced, "Apart from a few of us, all of Master's disciples are already Dao Ancestors. They usually cultivate in their respective Daoist temples and only return to Kunlun Mountain when necessary."

"As for the other powerful Dao Sect, they all have their own Great World Daoist temples. Only the Free Dao Venerable has not set up a separate Daoist temple, but instead sits together with his master's Primordial Avatar to guard the ancestral court."

"Look there," Lü Dongbin pointed to the very center of the distant, continuous palace complex, where the most magnificent and towering palace stood, "That is the Jade Void Palace where Master Yuanshi's avatar resides."

Zhou Hao looked up and saw three white flowers, each ten thousand acres in size, floating above the palace, formed from boundless clouds.

It floats slowly in the air, as if it could support the universe even if it collapsed, which is dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Walk."

Lü Dongbin immediately took Zhou Hao and flew towards the Jade Void Palace.

As they drew closer, the towering statue of a mythical beast, standing ten thousand feet tall, in front of the Jade Void Palace, suddenly opened its eyes.

Zhou Hao felt a golden light shoot towards him, enveloping him, and he also felt an invisible consciousness probing him, as if trying to uncover all his secrets.

Wow~~~

A faint light appeared out of thin air on the surface of his divine body, and the Mindforce Soul-Control Method moved at will, keeping that probing force outside his divine body.

"Huh? This little brat is quite strong, managing to block my consciousness." The beast statue opened and closed its mouth, uttering a human voice, "Donghua, is this the Heavenly Venerable's newly accepted disciple?"

"Indeed," Lü Dongbin said respectfully. "Enlightened True God, I have brought my junior brother Zhou Hao to pay respects to our master. Please inform him."

"The Enlightened True God?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in astonishment.

True God?

Wouldn't that be the mark of a truly powerful being?

Master sent a true god and powerful being to guard this gate?

"Junior brother, the true form of this Enlightened True God is the ' Enlightened Beast.' Normally, one must Enlightened True God to inform him before entering or leaving the Jade Void Palace. Do not be impolite," Lü Dongbin transmitted his voice.

"Hmm." Zhou Hao nodded and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings Enlightened True God."

"Go, go," Enlightened True God. "The Celestial Venerable and the Xiaoyao are both inside the Jade Void Palace. Just go in directly."

"Alright." Lü Dongbin immediately led Zhou Hao into the Jade Pure Palace.

"Senior brother," Zhou Hao said in confusion, "Master only entrusted a True God with guarding the gate? This is too..."

"A waste?" Lü Dongbin laughed. "Junior brother, you don't know this. This Enlightened True God was originally the mountain god of Mount Buzhou. In ancient times, Mount Buzhou collapsed, and the Enlightened True God's foundation was also damaged. It was Master who saved him and transformed him into the statue he is today. Although he can never leave Kunlun Mountain again, at least he will not perish."

"Therefore, the Enlightened True God guards the gate for the master not only to repay the master's life-saving grace, but also in the hope that one day the master can take another step, and perhaps then he can be completely cured."

"I see," Zhou Hao said, suddenly understanding.

... Inside the Jade Void Palace.

Zhou Hao followed Lü Dongbin all the way and finally met Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Zhou Hao had long been curious about the true Chaos God that his master had conceived from the chaos itself.

Now that I've seen it for myself, it is indeed completely different from the human avatar ' Supreme Pure Dao Venerable '.

If Supreme Pure Dao Venerable is a kind-looking old man in his sixties, then Primordial Heavenly Venerable is a middle-aged man with black hair and three long wisps of beard under his chin, with a dignified appearance.

Beside him sat a slender young Daoist priest, whose demeanor was somewhat similar to that of Lü Dongbin. Dao Sect was likely another great Daoist master, the "Free Dao Venerable," who was also Lü Dongbin's master in his previous life as the Donghua Emperor.

"Master, your junior brother has arrived." Lü Dongbin said respectfully.

"Disciple greets Master." Zhou Hao also knelt down respectfully to pay his respects.

Although I knew that the person in front of me was my master in person, it was still our first meeting.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable was also a Chaos True God, his natural and endless aura of eternity prevented him from acting rashly.

"Changsheng, I have met your Uncle Xiaoyao." Primordial Heavenly Venerable opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"Disciple Zhou Hao greets Martial Uncle." Zhou Hao then bowed to the Free Dao Venerable.

The Free Dao Venerable looked at Zhou Hao and nodded slightly. He then instructed Lü Dongbin, "You should know who bestowed the teachings your junior brother passed on. Stay in the Dao Sect sect and cultivate diligently. Achieve Dao Ancestor status as soon as possible before the great calamity, so that her efforts will not have been in vain."

"Yes," Lü Dongbin replied in a low voice. "This disciple is also planning to go to the Ancient Ruins to hone my skills after I have made preparations. I swear I will not return to the Three Realms until I become a Dao Ancestor."

"No madness, no life. Since you're willing to take the plunge, then go ahead." Primordial Heavenly Venerable nodded and said, "You may step back now and diligently cultivate the secret technique. Come see me again before we head to the Ancient Ruins."

"Yes." Lü Dongbin respectfully bowed to his two masters.

The Free Dao Venerable sighed, and seeing Lü Dongbin leave, he ultimately remained silent.

Zhou Hao and the two Dao Ancestors, Primordial Heavenly Venerable Free Dao Venerable, remained around.

"Get up," said Primordial Heavenly Venerable. "Where did that carefree attitude you had when you were in my Eight Views Palace go?"

"Thank you, Master," Zhou Hao said with a dry laugh. "It's not that I dare to act recklessly with my martial uncle here."

"Your martial uncle wouldn't stoop to your level," Primordial Heavenly Venerable laughed. "Choose a meditation cushion and sit down first."

"Yes." Zhou Hao saw that there were many futons in front of Yun's bed, so he immediately chose one and sat down cross-legged.

"When you first entered the sect, I only taught you the ' Eight-Nine Arcane Art.' In the days that have passed, you have already completed the sixth stage and laid a foundation in the Heavenly Realm," said Primordial Heavenly Venerable. "Next, the calamity in the Three Realms will intensify. Relying solely on a body-refining divine power and your self-created Taiji Fist Art will inevitably be insufficient to cope with it."

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up immediately.

"Therefore, your uncle and I have spent these days creating a divine power for you based on your strengths, called the Great Chaos Hole Palm," said Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Zhou Hao was overjoyed.

Create it solely for yourself?

Was it created jointly by Master and the two Dao Ancestors Free Dao Venerable?

"Your Taiji Fist Art leans more towards close-quarters combat, hand-to-hand fighting. Although it incorporates weapon techniques like hammer strikes, it ultimately cannot compare to the refinement of a pair of bare hands," said the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"This <Great Chaos Hole Palm> draws on the top supernatural powers of many cultivation techniques from Buddhism and Dao Sect, as well as the essence of the supernatural powers and methods of my late best friend, and some conjectures left behind when I was creating the <Eight-Nine Arcane Art> True God Scroll."

"When cultivated to its peak, one's hands can reach the level of a chaotic treasure, containing many profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. Even among the many great divine powers in the Three Realms, it can rank in the top ten, enough to unleash the full power of your Taiji Fist Art."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Zhou Hao was overjoyed.

As his strength increased, he gradually discovered that even with a top-grade innate Purple Gold Hammer, he could not fully unleash the profound mysteries of the techniques he had comprehended.

I was planning to find a suitable supernatural power to cultivate, but I never expected that my master had already made arrangements for me.

It was a divine power for cultivating the palm that the two Dao Ancestors had tailored specifically for him.

"Come forward," Primordial Heavenly Venerable commanded.

Zhou Hao hurriedly got up and stepped forward. Just as he reached the two Dao Ancestors, he saw Primordial Heavenly Venerable point a finger at his brow.

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

In the endless, vast chaotic void, a giant hand seemed to stretch for billions of miles, its palm holding an entire world.

Suddenly, the world in his palm collapsed, and the endless aura of destruction condensed into a void that devoured everything.

The immense power generated from the chaotic void caused the giant hand to strike down, instantly obliterating the stars in the chaotic void.

"This, this is simply the ultimate power of destruction!" Countless runes appeared in Zhou Hao's sea of consciousness, eventually transforming into a mysterious rune with layers upon layers, resembling the lines on a palm.

And this is precisely the origin of this supernatural power, the Great Chaos Hole Palm.
