The Dao Field's Wonders! Great Immortal Yangmei
"Hmph!"
Only after shattering the probing Divine Sense and Law Power did Ao Changsheng let out a cold snort. He released his Divine Sense and began searching for whoever had been so presumptuous.
Just then, a voice reached his ears from hundreds of millions of miles away.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Yangmei. Your Dao Field was so wondrous that I became excited and forgot my manners for a moment. Please forgive me!"
"Yangmei..."
Ao Changsheng raised an eyebrow and swept out his Divine Sense. Beyond the Dao Field's expanse of hundreds of millions of miles, he found an elderly man with green hair and green robes standing on the surface of the sea.
"He's... Great Immortal Yangmei!"
Ao Changsheng immediately realized that this was the Great Immortal Yangmei mentioned among his system choices.
The probing Divine Sense and that strand of Law Power had presumably both come from Great Immortal Yangmei.
Although he had never intended to choose to follow Great Immortal Yangmei to Chaos,
he now felt a trace of disgust for the seemingly polite Great Immortal Yangmei outside.
In the Primordial World, using Divine Sense to scan and observe others and their Dao Fields at will was a grave taboo. Even if the person being scanned killed the offender on the spot, it would not be considered excessive.
What was all that about the Dao Field being wondrous?
And asking for forgiveness?
Where had that request for forgiveness been when Yangmei had secretly probed him with Divine Sense?
If he hadn't possessed the power of the Dao Field today and really had been an ordinary Golden Immortal, he didn't need to think hard to know how miserable his fate would have been.
"Get lost!" Ao Changsheng showed no courtesy, coldly shouting the words at him.
"Fellow Daoist..." Great Immortal Yangmei frowned as he looked at Ao Changsheng's figure in the distance, hesitation in his eyes.
Although his Divine Sense could not probe the Dao Field, a mere few hundred million miles was close enough for him to see clearly with his eyes alone.
With the eyesight of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, no matter how he looked, the person before him was only a Golden Immortal. Yet that same Golden Immortal had indeed shattered his Divine Sense and Law Power just now.
Was he deliberately hiding his strength?
Because of that method of severing the Primordial World?
At that thought, Great Immortal Yangmei's heart stirred slightly. He smiled and said, "Why be angry, fellow Daoist? This old Daoist was in the wrong earlier and is willing to accept punishment."
As he spoke, Yangmei took several spiritual treasures shining with precious light from his sleeve.
Looking at Great Immortal Yangmei outside the Dao Field, politely apologizing with several spiritual treasures and spiritual items in his hands, Ao Changsheng frowned slightly.
He didn't know whether it was because he was currently in a state of substituting his own will for Heaven's that he was so sensitive.
He could clearly sense the malice overflowing from Great Immortal Yangmei's heart.
"Who's your fellow Daoist? I said, get lost!" Without so much as a glance at the spiritual treasures in Yangmei's hands, Ao Changsheng shouted at him just as discourteously as before.
"Calm your anger, fellow Daoist. Although these spiritual treasures aren't particularly precious, they're still rare in the Primordial World... Consider them this old Daoist's apology."
As Yangmei spoke, he sent the spiritual treasures in his hands toward Ao Changsheng's Dao Field.
Ao Changsheng frowned deeply and stopped the spiritual treasures outright.
"Can't you understand a dragon's words?"
Ao Changsheng's gaze was icy, and the power of the Dao Field around him remained poised to strike.
In his perception, although Great Immortal Yangmei wore a warm smile, his heart was brimming with malice.
The contrast made Ao Changsheng even more disgusted.
Perhaps he had finally understood Ao Changsheng's attitude, for the kindly smile vanished from Yangmei's face as well. He looked at Ao Changsheng coldly.
"This old Daoist has tried so hard to reason with you. Why must you be so unaccommodating, fellow Daoist?"
"Perhaps you have lived overseas so long that you don't know. In the last tribulation, the contest between Hongjun and Luohou for the position of the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson was already decided. In no more than a million years, Hongjun will surely attain the Dao."
"With the method you have used to sever heaven and earth, fellow Daoist, even if you have hidden it from the Heavenly Dao and avoided provoking heavenly punishment, severing heaven and earth is something neither Hongjun nor the Heavenly Dao will ever permit."
Hearing Great Immortal Yangmei's words, Ao Changsheng's heart stirred slightly.
Severing heaven and earth?
Did he mean my secluded cultivation Dao Field?
This was the first time he had learned what his Dao Field looked like to others. He had never imagined it would appear like this.
But Hongjun was going to attain the Dao in another million years?
That was major news.
Hongjun attaining the Dao meant that the lectures at the Purple Firmament Palace would soon begin.
It meant that the Primordial World, now in the Daluo era, was about to enter the Quasi-Sage era, as well as... the beginning of this epoch's Witch-Demon Tribulation!
"Secluded cultivation. I have to enter secluded cultivation." Thinking of the Witch-Demon Tribulation that lay ahead in the Primordial World's history, Ao Changsheng immediately felt a sense of urgency.
Seeing Ao Changsheng's brief pause, Great Immortal Yangmei, outside the Dao Field, thought his words had taken effect. He went on speaking in an endless stream.
"Once Hongjun attains the Dao, you'll be in danger, fellow Daoist!"
"Why don't we join forces while Hongjun has yet to attain the Dao and cut away a piece of the Primordial World? Then you can steer the severed land with this old Daoist, and we can venture into Chaos together."
"Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Yangmei said enticingly.
Hearing Great Immortal Yangmei's voice transmission, Ao Changsheng was momentarily shocked by his ruthlessness.
Cut away part of the Primordial World?
Even Ao Changsheng, a minor Golden Immortal cultivator, knew what that meant.
Even the smallest piece of heaven and earth cut away would be an injury to the Primordial World.
If the piece cut away were too large, it would weaken the Primordial World and trigger a terrifying tribulation of heaven and earth prematurely, causing countless living beings to perish.
As far as the Primordial World was concerned, that would absolutely be a blood feud that could end only in death!
"Evil fiend!"
Ao Changsheng gazed coldly at the figure outside. He had thought Great Immortal Yangmei was an enlightened True Immortal, but he had never expected him to be a great fiend.
System, I choose to continue secluded cultivation for a million years!
Looking at Great Immortal Yangmei outside the Dao Field, still trying to entice him with all manner of words, Ao Changsheng made his choice at once.
Although Ao Changsheng possessed combat strength comparable to a Sage within the Dao Field, combat strength was ultimately only combat strength.
In terms of cultivation realm, he was still only a Golden Immortal cultivator, and he had no Divine Abilities suited to attack.
If he wanted to strike at Yangmei now, he naturally had to obtain the Eye of the Candle Dragon Divine Ability first.
The instant Ao Changsheng made his choice, a vast body of Divine Abilities and Secret Methods appeared in his mind.
Ao Changsheng's eyes turned black on the left and white on the right, giving him an incomparably eerie appearance.
At the same time, strange phenomena began to appear throughout the Dao Field's expanse of hundreds of millions of miles: black and white alternated, and day and night were reversed.
"Eye of the Candle Dragon."
Amid the black and white, a beam of divine light suddenly erupted from Ao Changsheng's eyes, shooting straight toward Yangmei outside the Dao Field.
Looking at the black-and-white divine light hurtling toward him, Yangmei did not panic. Ever since he had begun persuading-or rather, testing-Ao Changsheng,
he had been ready to meet an attack or launch a sneak attack at any moment.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you do this?"
A smile played at the corners of Yangmei's mouth. With a thought, the manifestation of a hollow willow appeared above his head, and the Great Dao of Space around him emerged and enveloped Ao Changsheng's entire Dao Field.
He was preparing to capture Ao Changsheng outright.
Although he still hadn't figured out the wondrous method behind this expanse of heaven and earth,
Yangmei had probed it repeatedly during this time. No matter how he looked or investigated, the Ao Changsheng before him was nothing more than a minor Golden Immortal dragon!
No matter how wondrous or powerful his methods were, what waves could a mere little Golden Immortal white dragon stir up in the hands of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal like him?
