Immortal Capital, Remnants, Great Luo Heaven Sky-Illuminating Mirror, Mysterious Lord...

Chen Lingxi naturally couldn't hear those words.

He stood before that Cauldron Vessel, beside that Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

Taking advantage of the fact that the pressure on him eased slightly as the two energies of the True Lord Great Sage continued to collide, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch the Cauldron Vessel.

This complete Cauldron Vessel, the most coveted treasure among countless cultivators of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, is now within easy reach, readily available.

"Still a little short..."

Chen Lingxi's gaze pierced through the deep sea, fixed on the two terrifying figures that had begun their distant confrontation.

Above that Void, the blazing white flames erupting from the World-Refining Furnace and the pale blue waves surging from the Luo Yuan River had already begun their first tentative collision in silence.

The terrifying ripples that tore through the sky stirred up the sea of clouds Heaven Gate Sea, turning the world upside down.

That level of confrontation far exceeded the comprehension of cultivators at the Dao Foundation Realm stage.

Chen Lingxi her teeth, stared into the Void, and then couldn't help but grin.

The smile appeared somewhat sinister against the backdrop of lightning.

His eyes flashed with ruthlessness, radiating murderous intent.

"Come, let me see who will prevail between the True Lord and the Great Sage, and who will be able to refine this Weiji Grotto-Heaven!"

The next moment...

Everything returned to white light.

Everything in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven was shrouded in white light.

Chen Lingxi felt as if his eyesight, hearing, Divine Sense, and even his perception of his own Dao Platform and Profound Root had been completely stripped away at this moment.

He felt as if he had fallen into a boundless sea of light, neither touching the sky nor the ground, surrounded only by that breathtaking, pure white.

A terrifying aura collided wildly in the Void, seemingly sweeping across the entire Cave Heaven's sky, threatening to annihilate everything.

The power unleashed by that collision far exceeded the scope of what words could describe.

All sounds around us have disappeared.

Everything fell into a deathly silence within this white light.

All light and all spiritual energy were instantly vaporized by the power erupting at the very core of the collision, at the very center of the battle between the True Lord and the Great Sage.

Time itself seems to have been disrupted.

It felt like a moment had passed, yet it also felt like many days had gone by.

The order of time seemed to be completely disrupted by the clash between these two supreme beings.

Until Chen Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes!

The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly within his body, and the remaining Thunder-Prison Profound Root barely managed to operate, injecting strands of Dao Origin into his limbs and bones, dispelling the sense of nothingness that was about to devour him.

He was breathing heavily, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"This..."

Chen Lingxi quickly looked towards the distant Void.

Then, he witnessed an astonishing scene.

Heaven Gate Sea is still the same Heaven Gate Sea.

The Cave Heaven- heaven and earth still exist.

only...

"The sky has disappeared?"

Chen Lingxi swallowed hard.

He saw that the sky that had originally covered the Weiji Grotto-Heaven had completely disappeared.

Those sun, moon, and stars, those surging seas of clouds, have all vanished.

Instead, there was a dark, empty vortex.

Within that vortex, countless hazy, turbulent Void Turbulence were slowly flowing.

"Did these True Lord and Great Sage destroy the entire sky above the Cave Heaven?"

The sky is now empty, the sun and moon have vanished!

The True Lord and the Great Sage exchanged blows for only a moment, yet their combined power completely obliterated the sky and stars of this Cave Heaven.

An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

"The power of the True Lord and the Great Sage has reached such a level."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the shock in his heart and forcing himself to calm down.

"Where are the True Lord and the Great Sage now?"

Chen Lingxi asked himself this question, his eyes flashing with lightning, as he spread out his Divine Sense, cautiously exploring the shattered world around him.

"Could it be that they were both severely injured and retreated? This Weiji Grotto-Heaven... actually escaped a calamity?"

He looked around. The Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree was still hanging in front of him. Everything was eerily quiet, as if the earth-shattering battle was nothing but a dream.

"It seems... there really is a turning point?"

Chen Lingxi was overjoyed, but she did not forget to remove the complete Cauldron Vessel!

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Suddenly, a terrifying power descended from the distant Ancestral Mountain!

The aura was ancient and vast, and it carried a terrifying, suffocating pressure just like that of the Great Sage Luo Yuan.

However, this oppressive aura lacked the indifference and detachment of the Great Sage's true form, and instead contained a trace of... indescribable chaos and violence.

That power was like an invisible, sky-covering giant hand, reaching out from the direction of the Ancestral Mountain, devouring Chen Lingxi and Emperor Daye Ying Xian in the Heaven Gate Sea!

"The Great Sage Sage's incarnation!"

Chen Lingxi suddenly realized!

"The true form of the Great Sage Luo Yuan has descended!"

The avatar did not seem to dissipate along with the true body. Instead, it was aroused by some chaotic and ferocious instincts in the aftermath of the battle between the True Lord and the Great Sage's true body.

It wants to devour.

It devours everything in front of it that contains pure power in order to replenish its own essence, which was depleted by being forcibly awakened.

"This incarnation of the Great Sage wants to devour me."

Chen Lingxi felt that terrifying devouring power surging towards him!

The remaining thunderous clouds beneath his feet collapsed under the pressure of this force.

"This Great Sage Sage's incarnation has gone mad at this moment!" Chen Lingxi felt a strong sense of alarm. The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly, and the remaining Dao Origin within Dao Platform poured out without reservation, flowing into the Thunder-Prison Profound Root.

The Profound Root that had grown into a large tree suddenly trembled, Weiji Thunderlight shone again, barely supporting Thunder Prison only a few feet in diameter around him.

But before that vast, ocean-like devouring power, the Thunder Prison was like a small flame in a storm, teetering on the brink of extinction.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Chen Lingxi's gaze suddenly fell on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree the Dao beside her.

"Use the Cauldron Vessel to make up for the Total Perception. Give me a chance, and let's see if we can find a glimmer of hope."

A resolute glint flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes.

Almost at the very moment that the devouring power was about to completely engulf him, he suddenly reached out and plucked the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree!

An unimaginable ancient aura surged forth, entering the Divine Chamber and instantly replenishing the progress of the Total Perception Essence Replenishment.

Chen Lingxi was about to activate Total Perception.

At that very moment, someone called his name from within the terrifying power emanating from the Great Sage Sage's incarnation. "Ling Xi."

The voice, like a gentle spring breeze, pierced through the terrifying oppressive force that raged across the sky and reached his ears.

Chen Lingxi was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly raised his head and looked straight in the direction from which the power of the Great Sage's incarnation was surging.

Then, amidst the terrifying, surging water vapor that belonged to the Great Sage Luo Yuan, and in the depths of the river that seemed to reflect the ancient starry sky, he clearly saw the reflection of a person.

He was a young man.

He wore a slightly worn Daoist robe, his face was angular, and a familiar, sly, and lazy smile played at the corners of his mouth.

He stood in the reflection of the river, right in the center of the destructive torrent, as if the terrifying power that could annihilate everything was as gentle and harmless to him as spring water.

Chen Lingxi murmured, "Changle?"

This person was none other than Liu Changle.

At this moment, he stood there in the reflected river, amidst the terrifying power of the Great Sage's incarnation, a smile on his face, and gently waved to Chen Lingxi.

His lips moved slightly, and that familiar voice once again pierced through all barriers, clearly reaching Chen Lingxi's ears.

"Don't forget!" he said, his smile unchanged.

"Never forget!"

He repeated it again.

Chen Lingxi was stunned.

Then...

In the next instant, the terrifying power of the Great Sage Sage's transformation, which was originally enough to completely annihilate Chen Lingxi, suddenly dissipated all its murderous intent.

That overwhelming, engulfing torrent also transformed into a gentle breeze at the same moment.

The gentle breeze Chen Lingxi, softly enveloping him.

Chen Lingxi felt a sudden dizziness!

He felt the gentle breeze carrying him through the shattered sky, through the bottomless black vortex, and plunging him straight into the Rebirth Pool suspended high in the sky!

The Daoist aura flowed from within, enveloping his entire being in a warm and bright pale blue halo.

Chen Lingxi felt a sudden darkness descend upon her, and her consciousness became somewhat blurred.

The only thing he could sense was the Void Turbulence rushing past him and the warmth emanating from the Daoist mysteries of the Rebirth Pool enveloping him.

as well as...

His own physical body seemed to be traversing time Void, speeding towards an unknown other shore at an unimaginable pace.

He seemed to have fallen somewhere, into a void shrouded in endless darkness.

He swiftly traversed that void, following the mysterious passage constructed by the Rebirth Pool, moving forward and disappearing into the distance.

Liu Changle's gentle, smiling voice, along with the gentle, powerful breeze that was the Great Sage Sage's incarnation, constantly surrounded Chen Lingxi's body, like an invisible talisman, protecting him from the occasional erosion of the Void Turbulence that escaped from the passage.

Only now did Chen Lingxi finally snap out of her dizzying daze and come to her senses.

A complex and indescribable emotion welled up within him.

"This doesn't seem to be what Liu Changle told me about— that Dao Foundation Realm cultivators of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm use the Rebirth Pool to guide Cave Heaven cultivators..."

"In fact, Liu Changle is borrowing the power of that Great Sage Sage's incarnation!"

He was forcibly controlling a portion of the power that the Great Sage Luo Yuan was slumbering in the Ancestral Mountain with his own will, not to send me back as Truth-Seekers, but to directly send me across the Rebirth Pool to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm!

In that gentle breeze, it seemed as if Liu Changle's last words, "Never forget," still lingered.

Chen Lingxi clenched his teeth tightly; he knew what Liu Changle was talking about.

"I won't forget."

"I won't forget."

Ahead, at the end of that long, dark passage, a glimmer of light finally appeared.

The light grew brighter and brighter, like a rising sun bursting forth from the horizon.

The Great Xuanzhuo Realm is almost here.
