Total Perception Divine Chamber, the Great Sage Awakens

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxi was suddenly taken aback.

He stood there, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Yes, how powerful are those who cultivate themselves?

"I have only just entered the Dao Foundation Realm, yet I can already control thunder, my Sword Qi can cleave through hills, and I can soar into the Void ninety thousand feet high, accompanied by the heavenly wind and bathed in starlight."

And how many levels higher is the True Lord than someone like me, who is only at the Dao Foundation Early Stage?

"Does the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family truly not know that the Great Sage Luo Yuan is slumbering here in disguise?"

Chen Lingxi broke out in a cold sweat.

A new idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Perhaps the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family knows everything."

Knowing that there is Immortal Husk in this Cave Heaven, knowing that a great Great Sage's incarnation is sleeping in this Ancestral Mountain, knowing that this Weiji Grotto-Heaven is the Daoist temple of the Great Sage Luo Yuan.

But he still wants to refine this world. Even...

The Immortal Husk within this Cave Heaven, the slumbering incarnation of the Great Sage Luo Yuan —all were part of his scheme."

For a moment, Chen Lingxi fell silent.

Emperor Daye remained silent as well.

A few breaths later, Emperor Daye suddenly shook his head.

"It's all just speculation."

"Perhaps that True Xi Family True Lord truly did not know of the existence of the Great Sage Luo Yuan's incarnation."

His tone carried a hint of uncertainty, as if he were trying to reassure himself.

But his eyes showed no sign of relief; instead, they grew even more serious.

Emperor Daye immediately turned his head and looked at the surging Long River.

"Chen Lingxi," Emperor Daye spoke again, "I originally intended to refine you into my third incarnation."

Chen Lingxi's pupils suddenly narrowed.

He looked at Emperor Daye, only to see that the Emperor Daye's expression was solemn and his tone was frank.

"In this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, there are very few cultivators, and even fewer with innate talent."

I used the Mirror-Listening Cauldron to search the entire world, and I Weaving Delusion Golden Eyes to distinguish all spirits. Those who were Rebirth Realm to the palace by me after death still have their souls temporarily existing in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. It is somewhat risky to refine them into incarnations.

Those ordinary bodies whose memories I've implanted are utterly beneath my notice.

"Only you, Chen Lingxi," Emperor Daye said slowly, "You have obtained the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi, possess extraordinary comprehension, and have been blessed with fortuitous opportunity. In just seven or eight years, you have already achieved great success in your cultivation."

Such talent, such fortuitous opportunity, such rapid growth.

Even in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, you would certainly be considered extraordinary.

He abruptly changed his tone, saying, "Unfortunately..."

Emperor Daye turned his head and looked at the Long River: "It's a pity that I have no fellow Daoists in this Cave Heaven, no one to stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Although I have many powerful warriors under my command, they are ultimately Rebirth Realm individuals whose memories have been implanted with false information by me, or ordinary martial artists forcibly promoted by me using the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation.

Although they obeyed my orders and served me to the death, they never truly embarked on the path of cultivation, nor did they ever truly stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Emperor Daye gazed at Chen Lingxi.

"Once you have established your Dao Foundation Realm, it is perfectly acceptable for you not to come to this Ancestral Mountain."

Although Zhao Duanxuan is strong, he has no direct grudge against you. You can flee far away and seek another way to survive.

"But you still came." Emperor Daye's gaze was intense. "Perhaps you came for the glimmer of hope on that Ancestral Mountain, or perhaps you came to repay my kindness in protecting you."

But whatever your reason for coming, you have come nonetheless.

I will still address you as a fellow Daoist for this reason."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly Chen Lingxi.

This bow was performed with utmost solemnity, as if one emperor were bowing to another emperor, or as if one fellow Daoist were bowing to another fellow Daoist.

"Chen Lingxi, the True Lord is incomparably powerful, and our path to survival is uncertain, but we must still work together to find that sliver of hope."

Emperor Daye snapped his fingers as he finished speaking.

But then he saw two golden lights flash in his eyes, shining into the Void and transforming into an arm.

The arm was a pale gold color and was more than a size larger than an ordinary person's arm.

It exudes an indescribable ancient Daoist aura, which is the Immortal Husk.

"Today, we offer our Immortal Husk to this ancient Long River." Emperor Daye held the Immortal Husk, his gaze fixed intently on the surging Luo Yuan River: "Let us see if the incarnation of the Great Sage Luo Yuan will awaken, and let us see what schemes the True Lord the Quexing Xi Family has in store!"

Having said this, Emperor Daye prepared to throw the Immortal Husk into the Long River.

Chen Lingxi stood to one side, then suddenly took a deep breath.

He quietly activated his Thorough Awakening Divine Ability.

[Total Perception]!

Suddenly, the Twin Luminous Mirrors in the Void the Divine Chamber lit up, one a blazing gold like the sun, the other a silvery white like the moon.

Two beams of light descended simultaneously, illuminating his body, which was now focused on his consciousness, enveloping him in a golden and white radiance.

The Void shattered, light and shadow reversed, and heaven and earth were overturned.

Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky.

Chen Lingxi stepped into the Total Perception Divine Chamber once again.

In this simulated world, the "Emperor Daye" had already thrown the Immortal Husk in his palm into the Luo Yuan River!

In an instant, the Long River surged with waves, and a dazzling, Mystic Light shone forth from the celestial Immortal Husk.

An indescribable, more ancient, and more ferocious power erupted from the Immortal Husk and surged into the Long River.

That power seemed to carry an aura of supreme holiness!

It is not spiritual energy or Dao Origin, but a purer and more ancient power.

At that moment Luo Yuan River began to surge wildly.

The river roared, its waves soaring to the sky!

At the same time, the sky and earth suddenly turned white.

The entire Ancestral Mountain trembled violently!

It even started raining throughout the entire Cave Heaven!

The rain poured down, as if heaven and earth were weeping for the awakening of the Great Sage.

The gale howled and swept away, whipping up a curtain of rain and turning the sea of clouds above the Ancestral Mountain into a chaotic mess.

at the same time!

High above, within the Storm Immortal Pivot, the surging, Unfinished Thunder was growing wildly, pouring out in all directions like a torrential downpour, scorching the surrounding sea of clouds into a fiery white.

On that isolated island overseas, in the Lake Immortal Pivot, the once tranquil surface of the lake suddenly surged with towering waves, and from the depths of the lake's heart radiated a warm and bright light, turning the entire lake into a dazzling turquoise.

Deep within the North Sea, in the Volcano Immortal Pivot, the crater that had been dormant for countless years suddenly erupted violently at this moment, sending scorching lava soaring into the sky and steaming hundreds of miles of seawater into a white mist.

The four Immortal Pivot simultaneously underwent strange changes, as if the entire Cave Heaven was welcoming the return of the Great Sage!

And on this Ancestral Mountain, the ancient Long River, nourished by the Immortal Husk, flows and roars even more wildly.

As the river water surged, it began to evaporate in a strange way, turning into countless extremely dense wisps of water vapor.

The water vapor did not dissipate, but instead converged wildly above the Long River, growing denser and more solid, until finally it condensed into a human figure.

The figure was extremely tall, at least two or three heads taller than an average person.

He was surrounded by endless pale golden mist, which flowed around him slowly as if it were alive, making him look like a celestial being who had walked out of the ages!

His face was blurred, obscured by the surging mist, with only a pair of deep, abyss-like eyes slowly opening.

Meanwhile, at the Mystic Wonder Abbey Yuan River Prefecture.

Inside the room shrouded in illusion, Liu Changle, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

The gentle, languid look on his face vanished without a trace at that moment.

Instead, there is a cold, mysterious, and unfathomable atmosphere.

Deep within his pupils, a surging, ancient Long River was reflected, as if the Luo Yuan River itself were roaring and flowing in his eyes.

He slowly sat up, his face devoid of any emotion, like an ancient deity being awakened and taking back control of this mortal body.

At that very moment, the Great Sage Luo Yuan's avatar was revived!

Total Perception Divine Chamber!

Chen Lingxi and Emperor Daye simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at the sky above the Long River.

Then they saw that figure, possessing a power that could distort everything, standing in the Void.

He simply stood there, and the aura he naturally exuded caused the surrounding Void to distort and deform, and made the Ancestral Mountain's Three Peaks tremble!

This is a terrifying power that is innate and originates from the very essence of the Great Sage.

It is like a bright sun hanging there, which, even without deliberately shining, is enough to make all things bow down!

His eyes gleamed with a silvery light.

That radiance was extremely pure and extremely ancient.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze piercing through the surging mist, through the Ancestral Mountain mountain, through all the obstacles in this Cave Heaven, looking towards the distant horizon, as if watching something, or perhaps just confirming where he was.

"This is... the incarnation of the Great Sage?"

"Is this merely an avatar?"

Emperor Daye sighed, yet a burning longing flickered in his eyes.

"What level of cultivation is required to contend with this Great Sage?" Chen Lingxi murmured to himself.

"With such a terrifyingly powerful expert here, and this Weiji Grotto-Heaven being the birthplace of the Great Sage, I suppose that True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family wouldn't dare to refine this Cave Heaven?" Chen Lingxi was overjoyed, feeling that a glimmer of hope was right before her eyes.

But...

The next instant, another pair of eyes appeared in the Void.

Those eyes remained ruthless and unfaithful, still like two high-hanging stars, still carrying an unimaginable Daoist aura, suspended high in the Void.

Whether it's the Ancestral Mountain or the Cave Heaven- heaven, both are under the gaze of these two pairs of eyes.

"True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family!"

Emperor Daye and Chen Lingxi had just seen these eyes before, so they were naturally familiar with them.

"True Lord..." Chen Lingxi glanced at those eyes, then looked at the misty figure in the distance. "The Great Sage Sage's incarnation... which one is stronger?"

He became curious.

Those eyes were now looking down at the raging Luo Yuan River, and at the figure that was forming from the water vapor.

Then, his previously emotionless and apathetic eyes suddenly revealed a clear and visible joy!

Chen Lingxi's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Why is the True Lord so pleased?"

At that very moment, palaces suddenly began to appear faintly on the distant horizon!

The palace complex, suspended above the sea of clouds, was majestic and ancient, yet it was all in ruins!

Glazed tiles shattered, white jade steps crumbled, everywhere were broken walls and ruins, everywhere bore the mottled marks of time.

At that moment, the True Lord of the Xi Quexing Xi Family snorted coldly.

That cold snort was like Heavenly Punishment descending upon the world, like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

He spoke softly, yet his voice carried the weight of a thousand pounds, booming across the heavens and earth.

"When one dies, one's soul returns to the Dao! The remnants of the Immortal Capital are attempting to escape the Soul-Return Path..."

Isn't this a betrayal of the old order of the Immortal Capital?

Chen Lingxi and Emperor Daye were both taken aback!

Before he finished speaking, a vast furnace slowly emerged from the Void.

The furnace was enormous, seemingly capable of containing the entire Cave Heaven.

As the furnace spun, white light appeared in the Void, and an indescribable, terrifying refining power spread out from the furnace, covering the sky and the earth.

Wherever that refining power passed, the sea of clouds evaporated, the heavenly winds dissipated, mountains and rocks melted into magma, and rivers evaporated into nothingness.

The entire Weiji Grotto-Heaven began to crumble inch by inch under the spinning furnace!

All of this caught Chen Lingxi and Emperor Daye completely off guard.

"This is fucking wrong, isn't it?"

Chen Lingxi gritted her teeth.

Emperor Daye also turned to look at him.

The resurrection of the Great Sage Luo Yuan not only failed to intimidate Quexing Xi Family True Lord, but seemed to hasten the time it took for Que Star True Lord to refine this world using the World-Refining Furnace.

Suddenly, flames began to fall from within that World-Refining Furnace.

Those flames streaked across the sky like meteors, falling into the vast Void and landing everywhere in the world.

Some of the flames fell into the North Sea, evaporating the frigid waters into a sky full of white mist.

Some of the flames fell on Nanche Province, burning the ruined city and the surrounding mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles into lava.

Some of the flames fell upon the Great Li Kingdom, causing buildings to collapse and flames to rage!

A scene of annihilation!

But the figure, shrouded in moisture, suddenly snapped its fingers.

A drop of river water fell towards Chen Lingxi.

The drop of river water moved extremely fast; Chen Lingxi raised his right hand, and the drop of water had already fallen into his palm.

Chen Lingxi looked down.

But then he saw that the drop of river water was like a crystal-clear gem, quietly suspended in his palm.

Chen Lingxi didn't have time to look at the river water again. She put the drop of water into her Hongdong Bag, then looked up and gazed around.

Then you can see that everything around you has begun to burn.

That Ancestral Mountain, that Long River, that incarnation of the Great Sage, that dilapidated immortal Immortal Capital, that Void, and the Immortal Ranking above the sky!

Everything began to crumble inch by inch under the terrifying refining power of this World-Refining Furnace, turning into nothingness.

The newly revived Great Sage avatar raised its head, its silver eyes gazing at the World-Refining Furnace and the lofty True Lord, but it made no move.

It's like someone who has just woken up from a deep sleep, whose mind has not yet fully recovered, already seeing the end of the world.

In the next instant, everything around them was refined.

The Weiji Grotto-Heaven has completely vanished.

Total Perception, shattered in an instant.

"Stealing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and drawing upon the wisdom of the past and present."

An ancient verse echoed deep within Chen Lingxi's consciousness.

Chen Lingxi's consciousness has returned to the Divine Chamber.

Within the Void of the Divine Chamber, the thick fog surged as usual, and the line of golden tadpole-shaped characters flashed by one after another.

In the Void clouds and mist, only one thing hung in the very center of the Divine Chamber.

It was that single drop of river water.
