" Lord of Darkness... Primordial Lord of Tribulation..."
Han Xuanji murmured to himself.
This pool of water was indeed deeper than I had imagined.
However, the Heavenly Emperor's words answered many of Han Xuanji's questions and were largely in line with his guesses.
Han Xuanji had no idea that the Dao Ancestor would actually go to the Primordial Sea.
What is the Primordial Sea? It is the space before Chaos was created.
The Primordial Sea contains countless worlds, including a destroyed Chaos universe, making it extremely dangerous. Even Chaos Dao Venerable would have their power greatly weakened in the Primordial Sea. It's unbelievable that the Dao Ancestor went to such a place in pursuit of a higher realm.
"Moreover, judging from the Heavenly Emperor's words, it's likely that more than just the Dao Ancestor went."
Han Xuanji's eyes gleamed, his thoughts racing.
The Heavenly Emperor mentioned that the whereabouts of the various Dao Venerable in the Immortal Realm were elusive, and that Taishang and Yuanshi should not have left the Chaos.
But other Dao Venerable may have been far removed from the Immortal Realm for too long. Did they, like the Dao Ancestor, also step into the Primordial Sea?
Or perhaps, one could explore and cultivate in the boundary between Chaos and the Primordial Sea?
"Did the Immortal Ancestor also go to the Primordial Sea? Or did he go somewhere else?"
"Perhaps, the Primordial Sea is also an excellent place to sign in."
Han Xuanji pondered silently, feeling a surge of excitement.
However, there's no need to rush him to the Primordial Sea right now.
Firstly, he lacked connections; secondly, he felt he could still improve.
Third, there's the fear of death.
Even in the Chaos, the Hunyuan Wuji Imperishable not be considered Undying, let alone in a place like the Primordial Sea, which was far too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji immediately realized that he still couldn't relax and needed to start cultivating again.
Only when I punch the Forbidden Lord of Darkness and kick the Primordial Lord of Tribulation will I feel a little more at ease.
At this very moment.
In a certain sacred space, there is no sun, moon, or stars, but an eternally clear and ethereal light flows freely, and the air is filled with pure, Chaos energy.
Within a pavilion and tower, time and space seem to lose their meaning.
Two figures casually sat down under an ancient tree.
One of them was dressed in a plain white Daoist robe with the Bagua symbol, his white hair was loose, his face was ancient and serene, and his eyes were calm and deep, as if reflecting the principle of the mutual generation of existence and non-existence. He was none other than the Supreme Dao Venerable.
The other was dressed in a dark yellow robe adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, and wore a purple-gold crown. His face exuded supreme nobility and his entire being possessed an unparalleled and magnificent aura; he was none other than the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable.
Between the two, a light screen containing a microcosm of the myriad worlds floated silently, clearly reflecting the turmoil in the Immortal Realm. Among the flowing images were scenes of Han Xuanji's past actions.
"This 'gluttony' certainly came quickly."
The voice of the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable was deep and resonant, yet tinged with displeasure.
" The Devil Ancestor has certainly made a good plan."
The Supreme Dao Venerable nodded slightly, lightly swept his whisk, and the image on the light screen changed, showing the scene of the immortals arguing in the High Heaven Hall of the Heavenly Court. It then quickly swept past and settled on the scene of the Mystic Heaven Dao Domain. Finally, the core of the image blurred for a moment, as if it were interfered with by some invisible force, and the image disappeared.
"Changes have occurred, and calamities are intertwined."
The Supreme Dao Venerable water, his voice serene:
"This child is indeed no ordinary person; even with my deductions using the Taiji Diagram, I cannot fully fathom his true nature."
A glint of interest flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable:
"Oh? Even my senior brother's Taiji Diagram is difficult to fully comprehend?"
Judging from his demeanor, he possesses many incredible physical and astrological characteristics; it is truly a miracle.
The Supreme Dao Venerable pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"In the vast Chaos, there are indeed ancient and powerful beings. Some were seriously injured and fell into silence due to the struggle for the Great Dao, while others fell into a state between life and death in their pursuit of transcendence. Their fortuitous opportunity imprints were scattered in the Chaos, and it is possible that they could be reborn by chance."
However, this young man's advancement speed is inconceivable, yet his Dao foundation is as solid as a rock, almost as if favored by the Great Dao itself... Perhaps, he is not as simple as an ordinary Dao Venerable reincarnation."
"What my senior brother means is..."
The Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable's expression shifted slightly as he considered a possibility.
" Those Wuji are indeed rare and difficult to find, but it is not entirely impossible to encounter them."
The Supreme Dao Venerable's gaze was far-reaching, as if looking towards a realm even more distant than the Chaos.
Before the Dao Ancestor departed, he discussed the Dao with me, mentioning that beyond the Chaos and within the Hongmeng, there might be a higher level of 'Dao Fruit' left behind, or an unparalleled being who had perished.
Those who obtain it, even if they are mortal, can ascend to heaven in one step, possessing incredible potential and destiny.
This conjecture was Potian; even the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable had never heard of or seen it before.
Above the Wuji, that is a realm that even beings like them are still struggling to explore and pursue!
The Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable was solemn, and after a long while, slowly nodded:
"It is indeed difficult to explain using common sense. If this is true, then its arrival in this Chaos and its involvement in the calamity of the Immortal Realm is by no means accidental."
Perhaps it was driven by destiny, or perhaps... a move made in a higher-level game.
At this point in the conversation, both Dao Venerable fell into a brief silence.
If Han Xuanji truly has such an origin, then the significance of this calamity in the Immortal Realm will be entirely different.
They may even be deeply entangled in the game.
The thought was chilling; even though the two had cultivated for countless years, they still felt a sense of dread.
They may consider themselves chess players, but in the eyes of those in higher positions, aren't they just pawns?
However, the Supreme Dao Venerable and said:
"Regardless, we don't need to see all of this clearly."
"Having this child around saves us a lot of trouble, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just that we've noticed it, the Devil Ancestor has noticed it, and perhaps many others in the Chaos have already noticed it."
Upon hearing this, the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable nodded and said:
"We can only wait and see how things unfold."
A single move can have far-reaching consequences, so they cannot act rashly, lest they cause even greater disaster.
After a long silence, the Supreme Dao Venerable said:
"This reminds me of someone who, years ago, while traveling through the Chaos, casually enlightened a ' Void Dao Lotus ' growing in the remnants of an era, drawing upon its intelligence and teaching it rudimentary Taiqing methods. It can be considered a karmic connection that is remembered."
Afterwards, it perished and I cast it into the Immortal Realm. With a resolute character and profound blessings, it forged its own path to Hunyuan. Unfortunately... it met its demise.
Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable calculated with his fingers and also figured out the cause and effect on Lin Feng.
"Hmm, this child is worth nurturing; it would also be a good deed."
Time flowed slowly by, and several hundred years passed.
Under Li Taiqing's meticulous management, the Mystic Heaven Dao Domain has grown stronger over the years, with many talented individuals being sent to the Immortal Realm Spirit Void Heavenly Palace or the Myriad Phenomena Divine Dynasty the Immortal Realm.
And on this day...
The Heaven Beyond the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, a space close to Chaos.
A terrifying figure is moving; before him, the stars seem like mere toys.
It is the Lord of Greed.
The Lord of Greed gazed upon the Immortal Realm, his eyes filled with lust.
Beside him, a thought of the Devil Ancestor accompanied him.
" Devil Ancestor, isn't it time?"
The Lord of Greed asked the Devil Ancestor with some impatience.
"It seems you're absolutely certain about this trip?"
The Devil Ancestor frowned inwardly and couldn't help but say:
"Don't underestimate this Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Greed laughed:
"I am confident in my own strength, and besides, I have brought my most precious treasure with me this time. Could it be that the Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable can actually step into the Wuji?"
"That's impossible."
The Devil Ancestor replied that he knew Han Xuanji's aptitude was extraordinary, but it was impossible for him to transcend this realm.
According to his estimate, he could only break through one minor realm at most.
In reality, even among the most gifted Chaos Devil God, very few have reached the Middle Hunyuan Wuji.
