Resurrection? The Dao Fruit Reappears

More importantly, Yuanchu mentioned that the Dao Fruit might be located near Flying Immortal Prefecture.

The Great Wilderness is not far from Flying Immortal Prefecture.

Could the sudden opening of the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain be related to the Dao Fruit?

If Dao Fruit hiding inside, then this trip is even more necessary.

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhi Qianshu assumed he was unwilling and quickly said, "Sect Leader Li, don't worry! We, the Biyuan People, will not let you help us for nothing! As long as we can revive the First Ancestor, the entire Biyuan clan will obey your command! All the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the secret realm, except for the First Ancestor's relics, are yours!"

Li Yunjing looked up and saw Zhi Qianshu's sincere eyes, knowing that even if he refused, it would be useless.

The Biyuan People were convinced he was the child of prophecy and would definitely pursue him relentlessly.

Moreover, the secret realm is located in the Great Wilderness, right under the nose of the Luozhen Sect, so he cannot ignore it.

It's better to be proactive than passive.

"Okay." Li Yunjing nodded. "I'll go with you."

"That's wonderful!" Zhi Qianshu exclaimed joyfully, slapping Li Yunjing on the shoulder, almost making him stumble. "I knew Sect Leader Li was a straightforward person!"

"But let's make this clear first," Li Yunjing steadied himself and said seriously, "I'm going to the secret realm mainly to investigate the situation and see if I can be of any help. As for whether I can revive the First Ancestor, I can't guarantee that."

"Understood, understood!" Zhi Qianshu nodded repeatedly. "As long as you go! The rest is up to the First Ancestor!"

When do we depart?

"The sooner the better, of course!" Zhi Qianshu rubbed his hands together. "The secret realm has just opened, and not many people have gone yet. If we go too late, and someone manages to break in and damage the ancestor's Burial Ground, it will be troublesome."

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment and said, "I'll arrange the sect affairs, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright! We'll wait for you outside the mountain!" Zhi Qianshu readily agreed. "We'll meet at the foot of the mountain first thing tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, he led a group of warriors from Biyuan away in a hurry.

Li Yunjing stood at the mountain gate, gazing in the direction of the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain, his brows slightly furrowed.

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

High Antiquity secret realms, Biyuan the primordial ancestor, plus the Dao Fruit possibly hidden within...

This journey to the hidden realm is unlikely to be peaceful.

He turned back to the mountain and went to see his master and mistress first, telling them about Zhi Qianshu's visit.

After listening, Nangong Chengyu pondered for a long time, "The first ancestor of the Biyuan People... I also heard some legends when I was young."

Legend has it that he was a powerful being from High Antiquity times, with unparalleled combat strength. He later died in the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain in order to suppress the ferocious beast tide in the Great Wilderness.

I never imagined it was true, and he was even buried there.

"Master, do you think it's possible to resurrect the First Ancestor?" Li Yunjing asked.

"It's hard to say." Nangong Chengyu shook his head. "There are many High Antiquity Secret Method, and all sorts of methods are available."

There are also legends of Liberation by Violence physical death or from shedding blood, dating back tens of thousands of years.

But... it's not so easy for someone who's been dead for tens of thousands of years to be resurrected.

He paused, then cautioned, "Be careful on your journey. The secret realm has just opened, and the outcome is uncertain. Although the Biyuan People seem honest, you cannot trust them completely."

Senior Zhenyangzi is very knowledgeable and experienced; it would be best if we could invite him to go with us.

"Disciple understands." Li Yunjing nodded. "Yuanchu will also go. He is sensitive to the aura of origin, and if the Dao Fruit inside, he will be able to detect it immediately."

"Yes, this arrangement is appropriate." Nangong Chengyu nodded. "With your master's wife and I in the sect, and Grandmaster Fang and Senior Mu overseeing things, you can go with peace of mind."

Once the agreement was reached, Li Yunjing went to make the arrangements.

He first visited Zhenyangzi and explained the situation.

Zhenyangzi was by nature a restless person, and upon hearing about the High Antiquity secret realm, he immediately agreed.

He then spoke to Yuanchu, Yuanchu had no objections, only saying that if the Dao Fruit was inside, he could sense it.

Everything is arranged, and we're just waiting to depart tomorrow.

That evening, Li Yunjing was in his cave abode, adjusting his breathing to stabilize his Early Void Refinement cultivation.

Suddenly, the entire cave abode trembled violently.

Boom!

A deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the Great Wilderness.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar and vast aura of primordial energy soared into the sky.

The colorful rays of the sunset pierced through the night, painting half the sky in a dazzling display of color.

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, his figure blurred, and he left the cave abode and departed from the Grotto-Heaven.

He looked up toward the direction of the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

In that direction, a seven-colored beam of light shot straight into the sky, slightly weaker than the one from the Chaos Abyss, but still incredibly clear.

That aura...

"The Primordial Dao Fruit?!"

Li Yunjing murmured in a low voice.

The colorful sunset glow was particularly dazzling against the dark night sky.

The entire Azure Jiao Marsh was alarmed.

The disciples emerged from their dwellings, gazing at the distant pillar of light, and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"What's that? What beautiful light!"

"It's heading towards the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain! Could it be an unusual phenomenon indicating the emergence of a secret realm?"

"Wait a minute, why does this aura feel so similar to the Dao Fruit aura from the Chaos Abyss back then?"

"Dao Fruit?! Impossible! Didn't Dao Fruit escape? How could it have ended up in our Great Wilderness?"

"..."

Voices of surprise and uncertainty rose and fell.

Li Yunjing stood in mid-air, his face so solemn it could drip water.

He won't admit his mistake.

This aura is the very essence of the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Although we are far apart, we feel incredibly familiar with each other.

Dao Fruit actually hid in the secret realm of the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain!

No wonder the Yuanchu couldn't sense it, no wonder it couldn't even deduce the secrets of heaven.

The Burial Ground of the first ancestor of the Biyuan People was already protected by High Antiquity totem array that concealed the secrets of heaven. In addition, the Sha Qi of the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain Zone further concealed it. The Dao Fruit was hiding inside, making it a natural hiding place.

Startled, it instinctively sought out the most secluded and safest place to hide.

But now, with the secret realm open and the great formation loosened, the aura of the Dao Fruit has finally been leaked.

"Sect Leader!"

Mo Xuan, Shui Yao, Fang Tong, and the others rushed into the air, their expressions urgent.

"Sect Leader Brother, that radiant light..." Shui Yao began, her voice tinged with disbelief, "Could it be..."

"It's the Primordial Dao Fruit," Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, shattering everyone's last hope.

A deathly silence fell instantly.

Everyone froze in place.

Dao Fruit?

That Primordial Dao Fruit appears only once every 100,000 years and is fiercely contested by both the righteous and demonic paths, is actually in the Myriad Beasts Forbidden Domain within their Luozhen Sect territory?

This is so dreamlike!

"My God..." Fang Tong swallowed hard. "The Dao Fruit is actually at our doorstep?"

"No wonder we couldn't find it before, it had hidden in a secret realm." Mo Xuan smiled wryly, "This is a huge problem."

Yes, this is a huge problem.

Once the aura of the Dao Fruit erupts, it won't be long before the entire Heavenly Spirit Dao Realm knows about it.

Rogue Cultivator, minor sects, demonic cultivators, Immortal Alliance... all forces will rush here like madmen.

What was once a remote and desolate Great Wilderness will soon become the eye of the storm in the entire Dao Realm.

And the Luozhen Sect was right at the very center of the storm.

"Sect Leader, what should we do?" Shui Yao looked at Li Yunjing, her tone urgent. "The news can't be kept secret any longer. The demonic path will get the news soon, and in a few days, the Devil Cultivator army will be here."

With so few men, we simply can't hold out!

"What's the panic?" Li Yunjing said calmly. "Panic won't help."

He took a deep breath and quickly issued the order:

"Junior Brother Mo, immediately issue the order: the entire sect must be on high alert, reinforce the mountain-protecting formation, seal the mountain gates, and all disciples must retreat to the inner sect. No one may leave without orders."

"Junior Sister Shui, inventory the storeroom. Distribute all high-grade pills, talismans, and Law Artifact. Prepare for battle."

"Elder Fang, lead the enforcement team to patrol the mountain gate and strictly prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching. Anyone who trespasses will be apprehended immediately."

"Yes!"

The three responded in unison and immediately went to make the arrangements.
