The Return, Three Days Had Passed
Two streaks of light rose silently from behind the central command tent, avoiding everyone's sight and transforming into two barely perceptible rainbows, speeding away towards the southeast.
The speed of the Loose Immortal Realm is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
In just a few minutes, the two Loose Immortal traversed tens of thousands of miles and arrived at the designated meeting point.
Li Yunjing and his group had just left the Supreme Unity Divine Mountain area and were on their way when they suddenly sensed two familiar and powerful auras approaching, and immediately became alert.
When they realized that they were two Loose Immortal, everyone was greatly surprised.
"Junior Li Yunjing greets the two Loose Immortal ancestors." Li Yunjing quickly bowed and paid his respects.
Zhenyangzi, Huangfu Chenyin, and Tie Shan also bowed.
Yuanchu stood beside Li Yunjing, looked at the two Loose Immortal, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
He was born with a Daoist body, essentially on par with the Dao Realm Origin, so even when facing Loose Immortal, he had no need to be subservient.
Xuanjizi's gaze fell on Yuanchu, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
"This is the Origin Dao Physique, truly extraordinary," he exclaimed. "Its Dao aura is innate, originating from the same source as heaven and earth. In all my years of life, this is the first time I've ever seen such a physique."
Yunyouzi nodded, "No wonder it could trigger the Dao Fruit; this primordial aura alone is extraordinary."
Xuanjizi looked at Li Yunjing and smiled, "Sect Leader Li did a good job. He protected Supreme Unity Divine Mountain, preserved his Origin Dao Physique, and even broke through to the Void Refinement Realm."
"A Major Merit! The alliance leader will surely reward you handsomely when we return to the main camp."
"You flatter me, senior. It's my duty," Li Yunjing said humbly. "Why have you two venerable ancestors come in person?"
"The Alliance Leader was worried about your safety on the journey, so he specifically sent the two of us to pick you up," Xuanjizi said. "There are still traitors within the camp, so it's best not to make a fuss. We'll take a shortcut and return secretly. Apart from the Alliance Leader, no one will know you've returned."
Li Yunjing understood.
The Alliance Leader is keeping his Origin Dao Physique as a trump card, saving it for last.
"It's all up to the ancestor's arrangement."
Without delay, everyone set off immediately.
With two Loose Immortal leading the way, the speed increased by more than double.
Xuanjizi took out a spatial teleportation Law Treasure, and with everyone Rend Space, they jumped several times, and in just a few minutes, they returned to the outer edge of the Chaos Abyss.
To avoid being seen, the two Loose Immortal did not fly directly into the main camp. Instead, they quietly slipped into a secret chamber beneath the central command tent from a hidden rift in the earth on the south side.
Inside the secret room, Zhang Jianchen had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Yuanchu, even this usually composed alliance leader couldn't help but show his excitement.
"Senior Yuanchu Chu, you must be tired from your journey." Zhang Jianchen stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Zhang Jianchen, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, representing the righteous path to welcome your return."
Yuanchu looked at him and nodded slightly. "Alliance Leader Zhang, you are too kind. I have no choice but to take responsibility for the matter of the Dao Fruit."
That simple sentence completely put Zhang Jianchen at ease.
This Origin Dao Physique is not an ignorant child; it has its own opinions, understands right and wrong, and knows its own mission, which is more important than anything else.
"Senior, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest here first," Zhang Jianchen said. "The secret room is hidden and no one will be able to detect it."
"If you have any needs, please let me know at any time. The Dao Fruit will mature in three days. After three days, I will need to trouble you again, young master."
"Okay." Yuanchu nodded.
Li Yunjing stepped forward. "Alliance Leader, then we..."
"You all stay here for now," Zhang Jianchen said. "Don't show yourselves. Your sudden return could easily alert the traitors. We'll strike together on the day of the final battle."
"Yes, sir."
After making the arrangements, Zhang Jianchen and the two Loose Immortal left the secret chamber.
Back in the main tent, all three had smiles on their faces.
"With Yuanchu here, we've got this battle in the bag," Yunyouzi said in a deep voice. "Old Devil Yan still thinks we haven't obtained the Dao Body. We'll definitely give him a big surprise when the final battle comes."
Xuanjizi nodded in agreement. "Taking them by surprise greatly increases our chances of victory, but we still need to keep a close eye on Lu Tianji."
Mentioning Lu Tianji, Zhang Jianchen's expression turned serious again.
"I have already arranged for people to keep a close watch on his camp day and night," he said in a deep voice. "He has been very quiet lately, neither initiating discussions nor wandering around. He just stays in the camp, deducing the secrets of heaven. The quieter he is, the more suspicious it is."
"But without evidence, we can't touch him," Xuanjizi said. "Let's wait and see. On the day of the decisive battle, if he dares to make a move, we'll catch him red-handed."
"That's all we can do," Zhang Jianchen sighed.
Meanwhile, inside the camp of the Heavenly Evolution Sect.
Lu Tianji slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.
Just now, he vaguely sensed two auras of Loose Immortal level returning from the southeast.
Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi?
When did they leave? What did they go to do?
Lu Tianji tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
Are we going to set up an array? Or to deduce the secrets of heaven?
Or perhaps... she went to receive the Origin Dao Physique?
The thought flashed through his mind, but it made his heart tighten.
Impossible, right?
The Origin Dao Physique has only been awakened for a short time, how could it arrive so quickly? Supreme Unity Divine Mountain is tens of thousands of miles away from the Chaos Abyss, even traveling day and night would take five or six days.
However, if two Loose Immortal personally intervene, spatial teleportation is indeed fast.
Lu Tianji stood up, walked to the tent entrance, and looked towards the central army.
Everything in the central command tent appeared normal, with no signs of anything amiss.
"Is it really..." he muttered to himself.
I'm not sure.
If they guess wrong or send the wrong message, it will only displease the Demon Emperor and may even expose themselves.
After thinking about it, he decided not to send it for now.
Let's wait until we confirm.
In any case, the Dao Fruit will mature in three days, and then it will be clear whether the Origin Dao Physique is still there.
"So what if you bring them back?" Lu Tianji sneered. "On the day of the decisive battle, I'll find a way to make your efforts futile."
He turned back to the meditation cushion and continued his deductions with his eyes closed.
We'll see in three days.
As night deepened, the bottom of the Chaos Abyss remained silent.
Both the righteous and demonic camps were brightly lit, and the soldiers were ready for battle.
Everyone is waiting.
Wait until midnight three days later.
The moment when the Dao Fruit ripens.
The three-day deadline passed in the blink of an eye.
At the bottom of the Chaos Abyss, at midnight.
A perpetual, ominous Sha Qi lingered, completely obscuring the sunlight from the bottom of the abyss, day and night.
But at midnight on that day, the entire bottom of the abyss suddenly lit up.
First came an extremely faint buzzing sound, emanating from the deepest part of the primordial region.
The sound was very soft, yet it spread like a ripple for miles around.
The righteous and demonic cultivators on duty simultaneously stopped what they were doing and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Origin Zone.
The Spiritual Qi in the air began to boil uncontrollably.
The originally turbid Spiritual Qi, mixed with Sha Qi energy, was stirred up as if by an invisible hand, and surged wildly toward the core of origin.
The low-level cultivator felt his spiritual Spiritual Qi was in disarray, almost about to escape his body, so he quickly sat down cross-legged and used his internal energy to suppress it.
"What's going on? Why is the Spiritual Qi suddenly out of control?"
"It's over there in the Origin Zone! Look!"
Someone gasped in surprise.
In the center of the origin zone, the seven-colored ball of light that had been floating for many days suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
At first, it was just a faint halo, but in an instant, the light became extremely intense.
The seven-colored rays of light, like a torrent breaking through a dam, surged forth from the core of the source, instantly piercing through layers of Sha Qi, breaking through the entrance to the Chaos Abyss, and soaring straight into the heavens.
