The instant the black mist made contact, an aura of decay and corruption seemed to spread instantly through the forces of time and space. That chilling, terrifying feeling, as if it could corrupt along the River of Time, instantly obliterated Xiao Ping'an's time and space runes.
Xiao Ping'an was taken aback.
He believed his understanding of the Dao of Time and Space was unparalleled throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet this strange creature had instantly dissolved his Great Dao Runes.
The black fog grew thicker and thicker, enveloping the entire sacred land, blocking out people's spiritual senses, and making it impossible for them to discover its exact location.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
The black mist was spreading, actually corroding the space of this world and the laws governing it.
That was just a probing attack; Xiao Ping'an hadn't expected this strange creature to be so powerful.
He quickly composed himself and began to take it seriously.
In his eyes, the Milky Way shifted and the universe rose and fell, and he quickly locked onto a certain spot in the black mist.
There appeared a Weird Substance, emanating an extremely evil aura. Even though Xiao Ping'an had spent so many years in the Underworld, he had never felt such a cold and evil aura.
Xiao Ping'an's Great Dao Runes suddenly erupted and flew towards that location.
With a deafening roar, followed by an agonizing scream, the jet-black mass of matter exploded.
Clearly, that strange creature suffered a great loss.
However, the eerie creature did not die. Instead, wisps of pitch-black mist coalesced, forming a gaping maw like a black hole, as if it were about to devour the entire world.
Bang bang bang.
The battle was fierce.
It wasn't that Xiao Ping'an was too weak, but rather that Xiao Ping'an discovered that the strange creature he had sealed within the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Stone Tablet had transformed into a Weird Substance.
After attempting to refine it, he discovered that his body had gained some immunity to the Weird Substance.
The reason he hasn't ended his battle with the strange creatures for so long is that he wants to test whether he can become immune to this level of Weird Substance.
Seeing that Xiao Ping'an's fighting strength seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, the strange creature let out a wild laugh.
The eerie and ominous aura was growing stronger, as if it were about to corrode Xiao Ping'an's soul and body.
The pitch-black fog threatened to completely engulf Xiao Ping'an.
About fifteen minutes later, a mysterious smile appeared on Xiao Ping'an's face.
He was very satisfied with the experiment. The stone tablet of the Desolate Heaven Emperor was indeed extraordinary. The strange primordial substance refined from it was like a vaccine, which indeed gave Xiao Ping'an the ability to be immune to some Weird Substance.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ping'an actually managed to grab the countless strange wisps of mist.
All that could be seen were wisps of black mist, as if they had fallen into a black hole within the palm of one's hand.
It looks very mysterious.
The strange creature, which had been overjoyed, suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.
Although this Weird Substance seemed to have very low intelligence, it still knew what danger was.
Before the strange creature could react, it was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Ping'an.
Countless time and space runes burst forth, dazzlingly brilliant, each one like Heavenly Blade, ready to slice the strange creature to pieces.
The eerie and ominous aura was forcibly erased within the time and space runes, dissipating rapidly.
The faint intelligence that the Weird Substance possessed was quickly extinguished by Xiao Ping'an.
This bizarre creature was quickly and completely suppressed and annihilated by Xiao Ping'an.
Then it was completely refined, turning into a strange primordial substance similar to that in the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Stone Tablet, which could be used as a "vaccine".
At this moment, Xiao Ping'an's time and space powers flowed around his body, giving him a clearer understanding of his own strength.
Even the most powerful and bizarre creatures, capable of unleashing strength comparable to Heavenly Venerable, are no match for him.
It's just unknown how many similar Weird Substance this bizarre creature left behind in this world.
If everyone possessed this level of strength, the whole world would be in big trouble.
After thoroughly refining the Weird Substance here, Xiao Ping'an carefully cleansed this broken world.
He did not leave immediately, but instead explored the area carefully.
He had many questions about the strange creatures, but could not find the answers.
The Emperor Venerable in the original text, after feigning his fall at the end of the mythological era, never truly died and ascended to Red Dust Immortal Ascension world without anyone noticing.
There must have been some strange creature helping him conceal his presence, or perhaps the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was the weapon that helped him hide his aura and whereabouts.
It's even possible that he refined a new Immortal Artifact to conceal his aura.
After Xiao Ping'an and the others killed the Emperor Venerable, they carefully deduced and searched the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but they could not find the Emperor Venerable or the strange creature's aura. At that time, everyone confirmed that the Emperor Venerable was indeed dead and the strange creature had indeed been sealed in the Desolate Heaven Emperor's stone tablet. There were no more Weird Substance left outside.
But now, this Weird Substance that they encountered by chance was able to unleash such terrifying power, which truly shocked Xiao Ping'an.
Now, Xiao Ping'an plans to go and see how the Undying Heavenly Emperor is doing?
Now, the Undying Heavenly Emperor has left the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star, taking the Undying Mountain with him.
We entered the Big Dipper.
The Hundun Heavenly Venerable is lurking inside the Primordial Ancient Mine; we don't know how he is doing now.
As for the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains in the Mount Kunlun, I wonder what they are like now.
It was entrusted to the Undying Heavenly Emperor for safekeeping back then, but according to Xiao Yungui, after the Undying Heavenly Emperor completed a transformation at the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains in Mount Kunlun, he went into hiding in the Undying Mountain to undergo another transformation.
During this period, Mount Kunlun and Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains mysteriously disappeared.
Just like Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine, it vanished without a trace.
At that time, Xiao Yungui was asleep, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was asleep, and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable was asleep.
Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains was lost just like that.
Xiao Ping'an felt it was necessary for him to go to Earth and see what had happened.
Could it be that the strange creatures Emperor Venerable have been resurrected, and they have summoned away the mysterious Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine and the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains?
With the Emperor Venerable's strength and the mysterious connection to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, he certainly has the ability to make the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains mysteriously disappear.
Xiao Ping'an pondered the various possibilities.
During the more than 800,000 years he slept, many things happened in the world.
For example, in which incarnation of the Undying Heavenly Emperor is he now?
How many lifetimes has the Hundun Heavenly Venerable lived?
How did they manage to survive?
While pondering various possibilities, Xiao Ping'an refined the tree-shaped, humanoid Immortal Medicine into something resembling the heartwood of Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and then put it away.
For cultivation geniuses, this substance is no less effective than the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.
After carefully scanning this world, Xiao Ping'an unexpectedly discovered that one of the Divine Source was also teeming with life.
Yes, it was covered with layers upon layers of Divine Source Stone Skin, which would be difficult for an ordinary person to spot, and they would think it was just an ordinary Shitou.
However, Xiao Ping'an sensed an incredibly vibrant life force within it.
After he opened his third eye, he was surprised to find that it was a Ice-Snow Source.
Inside was a broken, humanoid root of the Immortal Medicine, just like the one Ye Fan discovered in later years.
It was crystal clear like jade, emitting a faint blue light, and exuded a cold aura.
Xiao Ping'an was also shocked to see the Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine that he had lost and then regained.
After opening it, he examined it carefully and was surprised to find that it was emitting wisps of Emperor Venerable fluctuations, as well as strange auras.
After some deduction, he was astonished to discover that the Emperor Venerable and the strange creature had actually been resurrected with the help of this Immortal Divine Medicine.
The part on this Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine is the part that they broke free from after their resurrection.
This news is rather frightening.
" The Dark Emperor Venerable has been resurrected! He has been resurrected using Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine!"
Xiao Ping'an took a step forward, heading towards Earth.
At this time, Earth was not yet the technologically advanced civilization of later generations, but rather Primordial Ancient Star. Here, mountains were high and waters were deep, and there were countless creatures in the world. The entire planet was enormous.
Viewed from the starry sky, its grandeur is no less than that of the Ziwei and the Big Dipper.
Xiao Ping'an descended upon the Primordial Ancient Star and headed directly towards Mount Kunlun to see how Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains was doing.
He carefully observed the Earth at that time and quickly found many familiar dragon veins.
When he arrived at Mount Kunlun, he saw a majestic and magnificent primeval mountain range.
The mountains here are majestic and imposing, shrouded in Hundun, and even stars seem to revolve around them.
One after another, enormous dragon veins rise into the sky, with the momentum of soaring dragons and Flying Immortal.
Now, without the obstruction of the array, the Mount Kunlun have revealed their true form, inspiring awe.
As for the true secret realm of Mount Kunlun, it is still hidden within the formation.
Looking at the majestic Mount Kunlun, Xiao Ping'an exclaimed that they truly deserved to be called the Source God of the universe.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
He continued on his journey and finally entered the depths of the Mount Kunlun.
There, countless divine runes of the Great Dao intertwined, forming a familiar array of the Emperor Venerable and the Netherworld Venerable. At this moment, these arrays were perfectly formed, clearly indicating the birth of an array spirit that controlled the entire array.
When Xiao Ping'an entered the core area of the Kunlun Secret Realm, he was surprised to find that the formation was completely empty.
The most exquisite part of the entire Mount Kunlun has vanished without a trace.
Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains has also disappeared.
Here, an enormous abyss appeared, and the entire Mount Kunlun was reduced to an empty shell, with its core area having been excavated away.
Xiao Ping'an was also shocked when he saw that there were not necessarily Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains.
Could it really be that the resurrected Emperor Venerable summoned away the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains?
My own Bronze Immortal Palace was once conceived within these Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains; could it have been stolen as well?
I wonder if the Hundun Heavenly Venerable managed to summon the Bronze Immortal Palace back in time?
This place was entrusted to the Undying Heavenly Emperor for safekeeping, but unexpectedly, even he failed in his Undying Heavenly Emperor and couldn't protect this sacred land.
Xiao Ping'an carefully deduced where the Kunlun Secret Realm and the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains had gone.
He simply waved his hand and used the remaining Mount Kunlun as a starting point to frantically refine and deduce them.
He refused to believe that once the most essential part of Mount Kunlun was gone, its intricate connections with this place would be severed so easily.
Rumble.
After careful deduction, Xiao Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star.
Then he took a step and flew towards the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star.
He didn't use any special powers of Heavenly Venerable; he descended upon the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star just like an ordinary cultivator.
He arrived in an ancient city, and just as he was about to find someone to search his soul or find a tavern to inquire about some information, he suddenly heard someone recruiting.
" The Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable of Mount Kunlun is accepting disciples!"
"Don't miss this opportunity! Register now if you wish!"
Xiao Ping'an was greatly surprised after hearing this.
This Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star, Tongtian, does indeed have Mount Kunlun. Has Mount Kunlun really moved here?
Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable? What the heck is that? Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable doesn't appear in the original text.
However, since Lingbao Heavenly Venerable and Laozi appear in the original text, there should also be a person named Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable.
Many readers have speculated that Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable might be the previous incarnation of Emperor Venerable, but the original text never provided an answer; it's merely a secondary setting in some fan fiction.
Upon hearing the name Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, Xiao Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.
Could this so-called Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable be the Dark Emperor Venerable was corrupted by some strange entity and has been resurrected?
It seems that the purpose of Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star is to investigate the clues of the Kunlun Secret Realm and Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains. Now that he heard the words "Mount Kunlun" and " Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable", he immediately wanted to go and see.
He wanted to see who this so-called Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable was, that he dared to use the title of Heavenly Venerable.
In the novel Investiture of the Gods, the three masters— Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, Daode Heavenly Venerable, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable —stood side by side, representing the pinnacle of Daoism.
In this world, both the Daode Heavenly Venerable and the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable are supreme enlightened beings.
If this Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable is also one of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, he should be on the list, instead of being someone Xiao Ping'an has never even heard of.
Since someone dared to act in the name of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, Xiao Ping'an decided to go and see. If the person's cultivation level did not match his name, he would not mind teaching him a lesson.
Are the titles of Heavenly Venerable deities something that just anyone can use?
However, Xiao Ping'an felt that this method of recruiting apprentices was really outdated.
Shouldn't recruiting apprentices involve assessing people's physical constitution, going from village to village searching for them?
When did it become legal to take on apprentices just by hawking goods on the streets of the city?
This era has seen the Golden Ancient Emperor attain enlightenment, making it a golden age. In this current era, it is quite suitable for cultivation, and there are many powerful individuals.
Xiao Ping'an saw that the so-called discipleship of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable was actually presided over by a Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure.
This man was drinking tea with his feet propped up on the table, looking nonchalant and carefree. He seemed to think, "Come if you want, don't bother me while I'm cultivating Laozi," which made him quite like a Daoist cultivator.
The man's voice wasn't loud, but he clearly used some kind of supernatural power, and everyone in the city could hear him very clearly.
Perhaps because he was working for the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, no one dared to cause him trouble, despite his somewhat arrogant demeanor.
Xiao Ping'an had just scanned the city and sensed that there were more than a dozen powerful experts at the Great Accomplishment King level, and even two Saint in the city.
Xiao Ping'an strode towards the so-called Mount Kunlun, pondering the question as he went.
Although Xiao Ping'an concealed his aura, the incredibly rich vitality and vigorous blood energy emanating from his body were as bright as the moon in the night sky, making them impossible to ignore.
The Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure quickly noticed Xiao Ping'an, his eyes flashing with divine light before he looked utterly shocked.
He couldn't see through Xiao Ping'an, but he could sense the boundless blood energy and vibrant life force emanating from Xiao Ping'an, which was like an Immortal Divine Medicine that couldn't be concealed.
She looks especially young, around eighteen years old.
Unless this person is at a level above Saint, he wouldn't be able to see through him. And since Xiao Ping'an is so young, he subconsciously felt that he could not possibly be Saint.
Therefore, upon seeing Xiao Ping'an, this person felt as if they had discovered a fine, unpolished gem.
He stopped dozing off and, with a swift movement, blocked Xiao Ping'an.
That beaming smile made Xiao Ping'an almost think that this person had a problem with their sexual orientation.
He frowned, then quickly stepped forward to walk over.
That Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure moved swiftly and blocked Xiao Ping'an once more.
"Young brother, I am a disciple of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, and I have been tasked by the sect to recruit talented disciples."
"The moment I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person."
"You have the makings of a king!"
"After a brief deduction, I feel that a cultivation genius like you, once you embark on the path of cultivation, will inevitably attain the Dao and become an emperor..."
Xiao Ping'an originally planned to go directly to Mount Kunlun to see the so-called Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, but he didn't expect that this person would stick to him like glue.
A thought struck him, and he said with a smile, "So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist, you perhaps wish to take on a disciple on behalf of your master? I must thank you!"
This person is at the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure. To only reach this level of cultivation at this age, in this era suitable for cultivation, shows that this person's Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure is mediocre.
I don't know how I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable and accepted as a disciple. Although I can't compare to those true disciples, I can at least walk around in the name of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable's disciple.
"Yes, that's exactly what we want to do with a genius like you. Do you have any lineage or lineage to follow?"
"My master, Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, possesses cultivation that rivals the Fortune of creation, making him invincible under heaven."
"Legend has it that he is the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable from the Mythological Era, who has miraculously resurrected in this age. He wants to recruit disciples and pass on his lineage."
"Regardless of race, anyone with extraordinary talent for cultivation will be taken under my wing."
"With your talent, if you were to join our sect, you would undoubtedly become a true disciple very quickly, and you might even inherit our master's mantle."
"Even forging their own path, proving themselves to become emperors..."
When this Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, a fanatical expression appeared on his face.
When she saw Xiao Ping'an, her right eye burned with desire, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Xiao Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine just looking at him, and really wanted to punch him and give him a black eye.
