The Buried Glorious Era
"So, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, are you hiding some other scheme?"
Ao Changsheng sighed softly to himself.
Moreover, it wasn't just Hongjun; even the Four Sacred Beasts in front of him, Ao Changsheng could vaguely sense that they were plotting something.
Looking up at the Chaos 'sky' above him, Ao Changsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
What about trust between people?
What?
You're saying that Hongjun and the Four Sacred Beasts aren't human!
Oh, that's alright then!
Looking at the Four Sacred Beasts in front of him, Ao Changsheng had no intention of telling them about Hongjun.
Over a long period of time.
The scheming among the powerful beings of the Primordial World was undoubtedly a good show for him.
He even had a thought of personally taking the stage as an actor.
But.
After much deliberation, Ao Changsheng decided to abandon the idea.
Compared to competing with the Primordial World silver coins in cunning, he now prefers the game of directly overturning the chessboard.
Let him play his scheming game when he's had his fill of fun!
"I will consider it carefully," Ao Changsheng said to the Four Sacred Beasts.
The Azure Dragon, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, wanted to speak to Ao Changsheng, but before it could finish, Ao Changsheng interrupted it.
"Four Sacred Beasts, please rest assured," Ao Changsheng said softly.
He understood the meaning of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Although the Four Sacred Beasts did indeed intend to ask him for help, since they had already made this plan...
This means they are confident of success.
In this situation, his intervention is at best icing on the cake; it's nice to have it, but it's not important if he doesn't.
Therefore, the Four Sacred Beasts' ultimate goal was to prevent him from interfering with their plans.
Although the specifics of the plan are unknown.
But it was clear that Ao Changsheng was confident that he had the ability to disrupt and interfere with their plans.
"Even if I don't participate in your plans, it won't affect you."
After saying that, Ao Changsheng's figure quietly vanished.
Left behind in the Chaos Space, the Four Sacred Beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long while, Black Tortoise finally spoke in a gruff voice, "Azure Dragon, is what your clansman says... credible?"
"Perhaps it's believable, perhaps it's not," Azure Dragon said in a deep voice.
"What's the difference between that and not saying anything at all?" the White Tiger said irritably from the side.
Azure Dragon shook his head slightly and said, "You all know how miraculous Fellow Daoist Changsheng's Daoist temple is."
"Even we cannot observe anything inside, and this Changsheng has traveled through the Primordial World no more than ten times."
"Even I don't know his character and temperament," Azure Dragon said calmly.
Although he had been paying attention to Ao Changsheng since Ao Changsheng was born.
But this member of his clan was just too... too different from everyone else.
Born in the Primordial World for billions of years, yet it has almost never traveled through the Primordial World, spending most of its time cultivating in that dojo.
He was born as Daluo Golden Immortal.
Later, he achieved the Hunyuan Daluo at an astonishing speed.
This speed.
Even those who were born with the consciousness of the Primordial World era could not compare to them at all.
Such speed—if you said this person didn't have some secret, probably no one would believe it.
"If he continues to say the same thing to you in the future, then so be it. But if he can't and interferes with our plans, then Azure Dragon will have to apologize to your clan."
Vermilion Bird's clear, cold voice rang out.
"Is this necessary? We haven't even told him what the plan is yet?" Azure Dragon said in a deep voice.
"He can freely enter and leave this space where we are. Just that alone gives us enough reason to take action," Black Tortoise said calmly.
The White Tiger and Vermilion Bird nodded in agreement.
Azure Dragon hesitated for a moment, then nodded directly.
In their, or rather in his, original plan, this meeting with Ao Changsheng was merely a prelude to getting to know him better and trying to win him over.
Only...
He never expected that Ao Changsheng would have the ability to come to this space on his own without going through them.
This touched a nerve that the Four Sacred Beasts found most sensitive.
In fact, it could be said that what arrived here was not merely a wisp of Ao Changsheng's divine consciousness, but rather Ao Changsheng's true form.
The Four Sacred Beasts, including the Azure Dragon, will not hesitate to join forces to suppress Ao Changsheng.
It's nothing more than Hunyuan Daluo.
It's not like they haven't killed before!
I sensed that killing intent, though faint, was incredibly clear.
"Honestly, all we want to do is cultivate ourselves properly and watch a show now and then, why are we always being treated with such ill intent!"
Ao Changsheng let out a long sigh.
This thought of his is currently in a very peculiar state.
Although the form created by this wisp of thought disintegrated in front of the Four Sacred Beasts, Ao Changsheng did not retract it.
Instead, he used a new technique he had only mastered after breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo to integrate this wisp of divine thought into this Chaos Space.
It must be said that the Method of Inner Heaven and Earth he practiced was extraordinary!
This subtle thought went unnoticed by the Four Sacred Beasts.
Otherwise, the Four Sacred Beasts wouldn't have openly started discussing how to wrong him right in front of him.
But now...
Driven by his curiosity, Ao Changsheng continued to explore the depths of this Chaos Space.
Let him apologize to the Four Sacred Beasts first!
Chaos Space.
Because of the presence of the Four Sacred Beasts, Ao Changsheng could not use any Law Power to avoid being detected by them.
It could only transform into a wisp of Chaos energy and merge into the Chaos World, drifting forward with the endless Chaos energy of the Chaos Space.
In the Unseen, Ao Changsheng's consciousness was sinking deeper and deeper into an indescribable realm, carried by the surging Chaos currents.
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even longer.
In this era, located at the end of the river of time, an era that should not even exist, time has lost its meaning.
After drifting for an unknown period of time, Ao Changsheng's consciousness seemed to break through the endless Chaos currents and arrive in... the Primordial World?
A vast, boundless, and utterly desolate Primordial World, devoid of any sign of life, appeared before Ao Changsheng's eyes.
"This..." Ao Changsheng's consciousness looked at the scene before him and fell silent.
This is not the Primordial World in the normal timeline.
Rather, it is a Primordial World where there is no River of Space and Time, and no history.
The instant he fell into the Primordial World, the Chaos energy he transformed into naturally underwent the transformation of the Primordial World.
It transformed into the primordial Spiritual Qi of the Primordial World, drifting and scattering throughout it.
If it were before, Ao Changsheng might not have known where he was, but before, in the Chaos Space...
The Four Sacred Beasts had just finished explaining their glorious history to him.
This is the Primordial World era that was buried by the combined might of the Four Sacred Beasts.
That makes sense.
The era described by the Four Sacred Beasts has been buried, and its trace cannot be found even in the long river of Primordial World River of Space and Time.
Even if the Four Sacred Beasts joined forces, Ao Changsheng did not believe that they had the means to completely bury that entire era and remove it from the River of Space and Time.
If it were merely a matter of suppression and cover-up, Ao Changsheng didn't believe that the other party's methods of concealment were something he couldn't detect at his current level.
In this way.
What the Four Sacred Beasts did was not simply to suppress an entire era.
Instead...
Transfer.
A smile crept into Ao Changsheng's heart.
The only way for the Four Sacred Beasts to move that era out of the River of Space and Time, to a region that exists in the River of Space and Time, yet does not exist in the River of Space and Time.
That is to say...
We're here!
Feeling the Three Thousand Great Dao clearly all around, feeling this familiar yet strange Primordial World.
Even though Ao Changsheng already knew, he still found it hard to believe.
In a place like this, one can cultivate oneself and attain enlightenment; it would be strange if one didn't make rapid progress in a short time.
This feeling reminded Ao Changsheng of when he first began cultivating, referring to the Dragon Principle within the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
A scene depicting a spiritual practice session.
At that time, if he hadn't abandoned the Dragon Principle and Great Dao of the Dragon from the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Ancestral Dragon Pearl at the Taiyi level...
He probably won't need as long to cultivate to the Quasi-Sage level.
It transformed into a faint wisp of world power and merged with the 'Primordial World'.
Ao Changsheng sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the Four Sacred Beasts of the four extreme regions of the Primordial World.
With Ao Changsheng's keen eye, he could easily make the judgment.
These Four Sacred Beasts... are the same as those I saw in the Chaos Space before; they are all in their true forms.
Although it is unknown how the Four Sacred Beasts accomplished this, it is clear that they were diligently cultivating in this sacred cultivation ground.
Ao Changsheng finally understood why his ability to freely enter and exit this space had aroused the killing intent of the Four Sacred Beasts.
"You stingy little thing."
Ao Changsheng gazed at the four towering, earth-shaking Four Sacred Beasts in the distance, which both supported and suppressed this era.
Ao Changsheng had no intention of engaging in a Primordial World- shaking battle with the Four Sacred Beasts that would shake the entire primordial world.
Many people want him dead... well, there are hardly any people in the Primordial World who even know him.
However, Ao Changsheng took such hostility or murderous intent lightly and did not think that if someone wanted to kill him, he would have to go to great lengths to kill them first.
He merely uttered a curse in his heart, and the world power that Ao Changsheng had transformed into continued to penetrate deeper into the 'Primordial World' as the world power within it operated.
Although this place can be considered a sacred place for enlightenment.
But Ao Changsheng didn't care much about that.
With his current level of cultivation, even in the original Primordial World, his perception of the Three Thousand Great Dao would not be any less blurred than here.
Even though the Three Thousand Great Dao here are more complete than those in the Primordial World.
But Ao Changsheng's intuition told him that it was best not to try to comprehend the Great Dao here for cultivation.
Although this intuition came out of nowhere, Ao Changsheng still trusted his intuition completely.
Following the flow of power in the 'Primordial World' world and guided by his the Unseen intuition, Ao Changsheng continued to dive deeper.
Although... this buried Primordial World is indeed a secret.
But what Ao Changsheng sensed was the secret of that Chaos Space, not the Primordial World suppressed in this era.
