Hongjun and Taishang Head to Lin Tian's Daoist Sanctum
Hongjun was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded, and said.
"You've seen the situation at the Interception Sect grounds, and the changes in the Human Clan."
How does it feel?
"Everything seemed to have been intentionally altered by someone."
"This fact greatly surprises even myself!"
Everything in the world should be proceeding in an orderly manner, but now everything is in chaos.
"I left Purple Cloud Palace to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"However, I did run into you near the Interception Sect grounds."
Upon hearing this...
The Taishang immediately understood.
After thinking for a moment, he finally asked the question.
"What has the teacher discovered?"
"This disciple senses that this place is in the southern part of the Interception Sect."
Hongjun nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in his profound eyes.
"I sense the presence of several other Sage here."
"This is where they last stopped."
"But when I came looking for them, they had vanished."
"I suspect their disappearance is also related to the Jie Interception Sect."
So that's how I ended up here.
Upon hearing this...
The Taishang looked into Hongjun's eyes.
A look of surprise and bewilderment flashed across his face.
He couldn't understand it.
Why is it that someone as powerful as the Heavenly Dao and the Sage Hongjun possesses such strength?
It possesses abilities that are infinitely close to the Great Dao.
They're still so cautious.
Not only did they sneak around here.
The reasons for the disappearance of the other Sage have not yet been determined.
This... this is truly Taishang my expectations.
Ordinary matters, wouldn't the Dao Ancestor resolve them with a wave of his hand?
But now it's going to such great lengths.
This clearly illustrates one thing.
That is...
The changes in the Primordial World today.
This has completely exceeded the control of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Not only that.
Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun was extremely wary of the mysterious power that had appeared this time!
So.
In order not to alert the enemy.
The Dao Ancestor could only be this cautious!
Think about this.
The Taishang Lord was surprised.
I was utterly shocked!
Regarding the nameless power mentioned by the Dao Ancestor.
I was terrified.
Just as the Taishang was thinking this in his heart.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked again.
"During my previous investigation, I discovered that the auras of you, Tongtian, and Tongtian still Yuanshi on that mountain peak."
Why did you come here in the first place?
"Moreover, Tongtian and the Jie Sect Disciple have come here several times, and each time they disappeared from here."
"I initially thought there was some kind of magic array here, but after investigating, I found no other divine aura here."
"It's just an ordinary mountain, somewhat devoid of spiritual energy!"
"The investigation has yielded no results, we have no clue whatsoever. Do you know anything about this place?"
Hearing the words of the Dao Ancestor.
The Taishang Lord was immediately startled.
He thought to himself: As expected, the Dao Ancestor is indeed the Dao Ancestor.
What happened here?
Even the Dao Ancestor knew!
A few thoughts briefly flashed through my mind.
The Taishang pondered for a moment.
He immediately spoke up.
"In response to the Dao Ancestor."
"I came here before because this place is somewhat magical."
"Initially, the Two Sages of the West claimed there was some supreme treasure here!"
"We'll search here!"
"But there was nothing there, and that's when things got tense."
"And so the Yuanshi and the Two Sages of the West began to have a great argument."
"This disciple stayed here and did not participate."
"Later, I saw Zhao Gongming of the Interception Sect and the Three Xiaos arrive here. They all said there was some kind of courtyard here!"
"And it's extremely mysterious; they can come and go freely."
"Moreover, according to their description, this place is a hidden world, and there probably really is some kind of magic formation here."
"But what exactly is there, this disciple cannot see, nor will I go in."
"I suppose the other Sage disappeared because they entered the courtyard that Zhao Gongming had visited before?"
Hearing the words of the Taishang.
Hongjun, standing opposite Taishang, suddenly brightened up.
"That's possible!?"
"Come, Your Taishang, come with me to meet you."
"Only by finding other Sage can we deal with the current changes in the world!"
That's what they said.
Before the Taishang could react...
Hongjun waved his hand.
The light and shadow before them flickered for a moment.
The figures of the two of them.
It appeared directly on a small, spiritually depleted mountain peak in the southern part of the Interception Sect.
Looking around at the familiar surroundings.
The Taishang Being's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
This location is exactly where it was before.
The mountain he visited with Yuanshi and the Two Sages of the West.
Here.
Taishang also encountered Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos.
And I witnessed them disappear before my eyes.
Even.
He was blasted away by a powerful force that surged from some space.
But now...
After going around in circles.
I never expected this.
We've returned to the place we first came from.
Nothing has changed here.
The spiritual energy remains very scarce.
The surrounding flowers, trees, and plants are all spiritual and medicinal.
They are all incredibly simple.
It was even somewhat desolate;
But.
Taishang did not take the environment here lightly.
A feeling of helplessness filled my heart.
More often than not, there is a lack of confidence.
They had no idea what to do next.
This was what Taishang was thinking.
He then turned his questioning gaze to Dao Ancestor Hongjun beside him.
Now.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun wore a yellow robe.
On the body.
It displays an astonishing Daoist charm.
A mysterious, yellowish aura permeated his body.
An astonishing surge of power erupted from here.
Looking from afar.
Taishang only felt that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength had increased even further.
Standing next to him, I felt a mixture of fear and awe.
As if.
Standing in front of the Taishang
Not the Dao Ancestor.
It is the Heavenly Dao.
After this thought flashed through Taishang's mind...
The look of apprehension in his eyes deepened.
But.
The Taishang merely glanced at him.
They also vaguely guessed why the Dao Ancestor was acting this way at the moment;
What is he searching for?
Estimate.
It's because I listened to what I just said.
Let's begin exploring this seemingly ordinary little hill.
What kind of eerie space does it contain?
So.
The Taishang Being understood this point.
I said no more.
We eagerly await good news from Hongjun.
Only.
To the Taishang's disappointment...
Over time.
Taishang could not discern the answer from Hongjun's expression.
They only looked at Hongjun's face.
It was filled with a gloomy and somber atmosphere.
I don't know what it's trying to say.
It is estimated that they are currently facing some difficult problems.
Or perhaps... nothing was found?
The Taishang had this thought in his mind.
I couldn't help but think that the second idea was highly likely.
If Dao Ancestor Hongjun discovered something...
It certainly wouldn't be that expression.
I will definitely tell him.
He's not saying anything now.
This means they've encountered some serious trouble!
After this thought flashed through my mind...
The Taishang Lord's expression turned serious.
Mentally, I was prepared to withdraw.
It was at this time.
Hongjun also suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes.
A look of seriousness flashed across his face.
There was a hint of confusion, and a touch of helplessness and annoyance in his expression.
The Taishang did not ask any questions first.
They waited patiently for Hongjun to speak.
As expected.
After a while...
Hongjun then spoke calmly.
"Your Taishang, we found nothing."
Let's go.
"Go check on the Interception Sect. Tongtian has abdicated his sainthood, and he's almost at his weakest point."
We need to stop him.
Upon hearing this...
In the heart of the Taishang.
I was immediately taken aback.
"They didn't find anything at all!?"
"Even the Dao Ancestor couldn't sense the aura here!?"
"Where exactly did Zhao Gongming and the other members of the Interception Sect go? And what powerful figure did they meet?"
"And what kind of powerful force does it contain!?"
"It's simply unimaginable!"
"When did such a mysterious and powerful figure appear in the Primordial World? How come I've never heard of him before!?"
This is what Taishang was thinking.
He then turned around, intending to leave with Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Only.
Just as they turned around...
Suddenly.
On the cliff face behind us.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from inside.
A sound was heard.
And it is accompanied by astonishing power.
And a vibrant, surging spiritual energy.
It attacked suddenly from behind.
They noticed this strange phenomenon.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Sage Taishang couldn't help but be taken aback.
Especially the Taishang, whose eyes snapped open.
In his eyes.
A flash of light appeared.
He felt this power was very familiar.
It was exactly the same power that Zhao Gongming released when he disappeared.
Taishang couldn't help but shout to Dao Ancestor Hongjun beside him.
"Dao Ancestor! It is this power!"
"That mysterious space is nearby!"
As soon as Taishang finished speaking, he saw that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already turned around.
His gaze was fixed on the direction behind the Taishang.
That is, to see.
Wherever the gaze of Dao Ancestor Hongjun fell.
A golden light enveloped a mysterious space.
Mysterious and profound Daoist talismans were revealed on the golden light cover.
A terrifying power and aura, along with a surging, vibrant spiritual energy.
It is transmitted from that.
Although powerful.
However, it does not possess offensive capabilities.
After Taishang and Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw the golden light...
The expressions on their faces were all somewhat peculiar.
They all looked ahead.
Through the golden light.
Then they saw the scene behind the golden light.
Scenes within the space.
It was shrouded in mist.
The interior is not clearly visible.
But before that golden light...
A fence made of bamboo.
It appeared and disappeared faintly at the edge of the golden light.
And in the middle of the fence.
There is an entrance.
It opens up from the inside out.
Seem.
Enter through that entrance.
Then you can enter that hazy space.
Upon witnessing this scene...
The Taishang's gaze sharpened instantly, and he said...
"Dao Ancestor, could this be the entrance Zhao Gongming and the others entered through?!"
Hearing the words of the Taishang.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded, a solemn look flashing in his eyes.
He said seriously.
"I'm afraid it's not just the places they entered."
"It was even the place where Nuwa and the Two Sages of the West entered."
"Those three must be inside!"
Hearing Hongjun's guess.
The Taishang couldn't help but be startled, and said cautiously.
"Dao Ancestor, shall we go in!?"
Upon hearing this...
Hongjun frowned, and after a moment...
He spoke softly just now.
"They've already opened the door."
"Isn't it just that they discovered us and let us in?"
"Given the situation, of course we have to go in."
"To be honest, I'm also very curious about that powerful being inside!"
That's what they said.
Hongjun turned around.
A mysterious aura emanated from his body.
A stream of dazzling light.
Hongjun also took a step forward.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared beside the open gate.
With a single step, he walked directly inside.
His figure vanished in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this Taishang, who was standing behind him, realized what was happening.
His expression was gloomy and uncertain.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know whether he should go in or not.
I have a feeling there's some danger involved.
After all.
If both Nuwa and the Two Sages of the West Sage went inside...
They haven't come out yet.
Their presence and aura could not be detected throughout the entire Primordial World.
This is enough to show that this is not a good place.
It is an extremely dangerous place.
They could even go so far as to imprison Sage!
Thinking this way.
In an instant.
Even the Taishang dared not go in again.
"Why don't we wait here?"
"Let's see if the Dao Ancestor can come out!"
"Otherwise, what if they go in and can't get out?!"
That's what I was thinking.
Taishang then decided to live in seclusion nearby.
After Dao Ancestor Hongjun emerged.
Just make up some excuse.
I doubt the Dao Ancestor would say anything.
Only.
Just as the Taishang was about to give up the idea of entering the courtyard.
Suddenly.
An anomaly has occurred.
From the opening in the fence.
Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying devouring power was released out of thin air.
This power.
Incredibly powerful.
It seemed capable of swallowing up everything in the world!
Its terrifying power even extends to space itself!
Even though the Taishang is Sage.
Even they couldn't resist!
He wasn't even given time to react.
That terrifying, devouring power.
It carries the power to ravage for millennia.
It directly enveloped the Taishang Being's body.
Then.
The Taishang Being's form.
Their flesh was being torn apart by that terrifying devouring power.
It was pulled back to its original position with a vengeance!
The Taishang Being sensed this power.
His expression changed drastically!
He quickly swung his hand.
On the palm of your hand.
It immediately released the Yinyang and yang energies.
The black and white Pisces exudes a terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao.
His body was filled with a dense Power of the Heavenly Dao.
The power that the Taishang has gathered.
They wanted to block the devouring power released from the outside.
And free himself from that terrifying devouring power.
They escaped directly from the top of this mountain.
Only.
That devouring power was incredibly strong.
This made him, Sage, exert all his strength.
They can't completely get rid of them.
The Taishang Being was immediately filled with horror.
"Such powerful strength!"
"How can it be so powerful!?"
"That devouring force is like a catfish; it's completely impossible to get rid of!"
Realizing this.
Taishang felt a sense of despair in his heart.
In an instant.
I simply don't know what to do.
And it was at this very moment.
The Taishang's energy to resist the devouring force began to weaken.
That devouring power came when the Taishang wasn't paying attention.
He swallowed the Taishang whole.
The next moment.
The power of devouring carried Taishang into the fence.
A faint golden light flashed.
As the runes and Dao characters flowed...
On the spiritually barren mountain peak, all the strange phenomena disappeared.
All that remains is a desolate scene!
It was as if nothing had happened.
