"Don't know? How could we not know? Could it be that the Four Divine Beasts have gone into hiding?"
Wang Hao stared in astonishment at Sword Saint Dugu, who had previously said that the Five-Colored Divine Stone left behind by Nuwa was divided into four parts and entrusted to the four divine beasts under his command for safekeeping.
The four divine beasts were the Shenron Dragon, the Black Tortoise, the Fire Qilin, and the Phoenix. However, now the Sword Saint Dugu says he doesn't know the whereabouts of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.
" The Five-Colored Divine Stone was forged by Nuwa in collaboration with many top experts. It contains the Martial Dao True Intention from all the experts and is very attractive to martial arts practitioners."
The turmoil and chaos that followed the cataclysmic event ten thousand years ago began because of those four divine stones. The situation back then was so chaotic that the Great God perished one after another, and the Great God stones changed hands many times before finally disappearing without a trace.
Sword Saint Dugu explained helplessly that he had no solution to this problem.
The one who could hide the Great God stones must be Peak Heavenly Dao Realm expert. They couldn't even make a deduction about such an existence, and the Great God stones disappeared without a trace.
"Looks like I'll have to step in, honey!"
Wang Hao glanced at Sword Saint Dugu and the others with a sullen expression, then turned to look at his two snake-spirit wives who had remained silent.
The Five-Colored Divine Stone belonged to Nuwa, and the true spirits of these two beloved wives had a significant connection with Nuwa. Based on this connection, there was a great chance that they could sense the locations of the Great God stones that the Five-Colored Divine Stone had transformed into.
"My husband?"
Xiaoqing, who was munching on a watermelon-sized spiritual fruit, looked up in confusion. Bai Suzhen, who was beside her, put down her teacup and cast a similarly puzzled glance at her.
"It's alright, you guys stay put!"
After giving a word of advice, Wang Hao took out the puppets crafted by those Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts and arranged them into a large array. Using Bai Suzhen and her sister as the foundation, he sensed the entire Martial Dao Great World, searching for beings that could resonate with it.
These puppets were crafted from the bodies of the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts imprisoned in the Buddhist Order Spirit Mountain and the Purgatory below. They are essentially clones of him, and are now perfectly suited for setting up an array.
However, Wang Hao's move greatly startled Sword Saint Dugu and the others. They should know that the puppets that Wang Hao had taken out were all at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, and there were as many as two thousand of them.
This number is absolutely staggering!
It should be noted that Peerless City currently only has a few dozen Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts, while even ten thousand years ago, the strongest force in their Martial Dao Great World only had a little over a thousand peak experts.
But now, this person has taken out the bodies of two thousand peak Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts and refined them into puppets. Moreover, judging from their aura, they seem to have been killed not long ago.
Were all these powerful figures killed by this person himself?
Thinking of this, Sword Saint Dugu and the others couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.
Fortunately, a real fight didn't break out down there, otherwise their entire Peerless City might have become history.
The way everyone looked at Wang Hao now held a newfound respect—respect for a strong person!
"Is there only one? Or are they all gathered together?"
After manipulating the formation and sensing it for a long time, Wang Hao frowned.
Despite using the formation, he only sensed one point of resonance in the Martial Dao Great World, while Sword Saint Dugu had said that the Five-Colored Divine Stone was divided into four.
Were the other three pieces hidden? Or were they all grouped together?
"Fellow Daoist, do you have a map?"
After retracting his formation, Wang Hao looked at Sword Saint Dugu.
He could only roughly sense the direction and distance, but he didn't know his exact location and needed a detailed map for comparison.
Sword Saint Dugu remained silent, instead Projection a map using his power.
As a dominant force in the current Martial Dao Great World, while it's impossible for him to know everything about the entire Martial Dao Great World, he still has a general understanding of it.
Where is this?
After comparing his calculations with the Projection map, Wang Hao pointed to a spot and asked a question.
" Heavenly Mountain! Tianxiahui! Xiongba!"
One of the powerful figures present exclaimed in surprise, and the faces of the others also turned rather gloomy.
They understood Wang Hao's meaning; the Great God stones must be located at the place he indicated, and that place was Heavenly Mountain, the headquarters of the Tianxiahui.
Therefore, the divine stone must Tianxiahui in the hands of Xiong Ba, the leader of the Xiongba.
"That guy's been hiding it well!"
The Demon-Slaying Martial Saint Delia, surprised that the divine stone was actually in Xiongba's hands; it had been hidden far too well.
"They might not all be here. It's very possible that the other divine stones were concealed by someone using the power of the Dao Ancestor Realm, which is why I couldn't sense them."
Wang Hao explained that although he really wanted Great God stones to be in Xiongba's hands, so that he and his group could get them all in one trip.
But that's unrealistic. Although Xiongba was not weak, it was already incredible that he could obtain even one of the divine stones. It was simply impossible for him to obtain all of them.
Therefore, the other divine stones were likely concealed, and those that could evade his perception must be of the same level, namely the power of the Dao Ancestor Realm.
"The power of the Dao Ancestor Realm!"
Everyone frowned again. Their Martial Dao Great World alone possessed eight hundred Dao Ancestor Realm experts, and the Dao Ancestor Realm forces left behind throughout the world were countless, such as the inherited forces of those Dao Ancestor.
This scope is far too vast; unless the entire Martial Dao Great World is searched, it's simply impossible to gather Great God stones.
"Let's get our hands on the divine stone from the Tianxiahui first. If I'm not mistaken, with a piece of divine sense in hand, we should be able to sense the other three hidden divine stones."
Wang Hao wasn't worried about this. Right now, he was just using the true spirits of his two wives as a foundation for sensing. Although the true spirits of his two wives were Mo Da related to Nuwa, they were still too singular. Being able to sense a divine stone was already quite good.
Afterwards, as long as one of the divine stones is obtained, the intensity of the sensing will be greatly enhanced, and even if the power of the Dao Ancestor Realm is used to conceal it, it will still be able to be sensed.
"There's no time to lose, Demon-Slaying! You take your men and accompany Fellow Daoist Wang to the Tianxiahui, while I go find Wuming!"
Sword Saint Dugu was clearly a decisive person. He made a decision immediately, then tore through space to find his old rival Heavenly Sword Wuming.
The other party has received the inheritance of Nuwa and may know the method to open the Sword Realm.
Let's go!
Seeing how decisive and efficient Sword Saint Dugu was, Wang Hao felt embarrassed to continue leading the way. He gave the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint a wink, signaling him to lead the way.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint immediately led Wang Hao and his wife to the largest Martial Gate in Peerless City, preparing to teleport directly to the vicinity of Heavenly Mountain.
Martial Gate are also divided into different levels. The higher the level of the Martial Gate, the farther the teleportation distance. Since Peerless City and Tianxiahui in the south and north respectively, they would have to cross half of the Martial Dao Great World to get there. Therefore, they would have to use such a top-level Martial Gate.
After several transfers through Martial Gate, the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint brought Wang Hao and his wife to the foot of Heavenly Mountain.
As the stronghold of the Tianxiahui, Heavenly Mountain is naturally protected by powerful restrictions. Even experts at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm cannot take off and fly here, and can only walk up step by step.
This time, the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint only brought ten thousand Heavenly Dao Realm experts from Peerless City, of whom only ten Peak Heavenly Dao Realm.
It wasn't that they underestimated the Tianxiahui, but rather that they knew the main force this time wasn't their Peerless City, but this giant who came from the Mystic Dao Great World.
Otherwise, even if they were to send their Peerless City to fight against the Tianxiahui, they might not be able to defeat Tianxiahui.
After all, since ancient times, siege warfare has always been the most arduous and dangerous. With the defensive strength of the Tianxiahui Alliance here, unless hundreds of the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts lead the attack, there is absolutely no way to take it down quickly.
Since that's the case, Peerless City certainly wouldn't want to embarrass themselves; they'd still need this powerful figure to step in.
"No matter which version of Ba Ge is it, he's always the villain!"
Standing at the foot of Heavenly Mountain, Wang Hao sighed, then waved his hand, summoning the puppets again to form a formation that sealed off the entire Heavenly Mountain.
He didn't want to fight to the very end only to have someone escape with the divine stone; once the other party escaped, finding them again would be difficult.
It's important to know that there are quite a few Dao Ancestor Realm powers remaining in this world. If the other party realizes this, and you manage to hide in a place where Dao Ancestor Realm power is present, you'll be in deep trouble.
Therefore, it must be dealt with in one go, without giving the other party any chance to escape.
"These puppets of yours seem to be masters of Buddhist Order!"
The Demon-Slaying Martial Saint, who had accompanied Wang Hao up the mountain, finally couldn't help but ask. Half of these puppets had the aura of Buddhist Order techniques, making him wonder if this big shot had wiped out the entire Buddhist Order in the Mystic Dao Great World.
"Hmm! The Buddhist Order over there was getting a bit annoying to me, so I took action and wiped them out."
Wang Hao casually replied, admiring the surrounding scenery.
It seems that the leader of the Xiong gang had a good sense of aesthetics, having built this place in Heavenly Mountain into a beautiful and pleasing sight.
His casual explanation, however, greatly frightened the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint. He had no doubt that Wang Hao possessed the strength to wipe out the entire Buddhist Order the Mystic Dao Great World, after all, the supreme Sword Intent he had unleashed earlier was the most powerful proof.
Even a powerful expert at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm like him felt extremely suppressed when facing this giant. Clearly, even if this giant's cultivation had not reached the Dao Ancestor Realm, it must have been infinitely close.
If such a being were to use certain methods to assist it, it wouldn't be impossible for it to annihilate thousands of the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts.
It's important to know that the Body Refinement in the Mystic Dao Great World has a significant advantage in the early stages. However, once they reach the later stages of cultivation, the martial arts experts in their Martial Dao Great World can basically take on two opponents at once.
This is the power of martial arts!
In his perception, this powerful figure's Body Refinement seemed to combine the Mystic Dao and martial arts, making his combat power undoubtedly even stronger.
Furthermore, after the celestial upheaval, all the fundamental rules of the Great Dao mysteriously disappeared, leaving their peak Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts with only a fraction of their former strength.
It's likely the same in the Mystic Dao Great World, making the killing even easier.
However, Wang Hao's reason for annihilating the Buddhist Order horrified him. What did he mean by "you were a little annoyed, so I just wiped you out"?
Is everything this casual in your Mystic Dao Great World?
While horrified, the Demon-Slaying Martial Saint was also secretly relieved. Fortunately, this powerful figure hadn't truly been angry about what had happened before; otherwise, their Peerless City might have been destroyed in the same way.
This is the real culprit!
