Haotian! Yaochi! Touring the Sage's garden--
East Sea.
The vast void.
An enormous sphere of light, tens of millions of miles in diameter, floated silently here, its soft light illuminating the void without being dazzling.
Around the sphere of light, golden dragon heads tightly gripped it, their bodies winding into the void, their tails disappearing from sight.
Like golden chains, they firmly locked the sphere of light in place.
Within this sphere of light lies a vast and boundless world.
At the very center of the world, a holy image with eighteen arms and twenty-four heads is clearly visible, but...
At this moment, the statue lay sprawled on the ground in a very disheveled state, struggling desperately.
Scattered around were treasures such as jeweled parasols, flower vases, fish intestines, blessed pestles, precious files, golden bells, silver halberds, and banners.
"This is... the Sage Zhunti?!"
Not far from the world of light, Yaochi couldn't help but cover her mouth, afraid that she would cry out and disturb the figure in the world of light.
"Um!"
Haotian nodded, his eyes also filled with shock.
Although he had expected it, Haotian couldn't help but tremble when he saw Zhunti lying on the ground, without any Zhunti of Sage dignity.
That was Sage!
The ultimate goal of countless powerful beings in the Primordial World.
Previously, in front of the Purple Firmament Palace, in front of Hongjun, whether he ignored them or plotted against them, they still had to... dare not utter the slightest complaint against the Sage.
But now.
They were suppressed here in such a pathetic state.
"Is this... Changsheng?" Haotian immediately felt a deep sense of awe for the 'Changsheng Changsheng' whom he had never met before.
"Haotian, is it alright for us to watch the Sage like this?" Yaochi suddenly whispered to Haotian from the side.
This is not an exaggeration.
Instead, the voice transmission Haotian received was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
They didn't even dare to mention Zhunti's name.
Although Yaochi was simpler than Haotian at this time, they were not stupid. They had witnessed the ugly side of a Sage.
So they...
"It's alright!" Haotian shook his head and said softly, "You see, we've been here for a while, and the Sage hasn't made any move."
Judging others by one's own standards, if it were truly Haotian who was being suppressed in this world at this moment, upon seeing people approaching, one would understand...
Regardless of anything else, at the very least, you should strike a cool pose and pretend to be calm.
Instead of lying on the ground, struggling desperately and making a fool of themselves.
"The Sage shouldn't be able to detect us right now, but... just to be on the safe side, let's leave as soon as possible!" Haotian said.
Yaochi nodded, and finally couldn't help but turn back for one last look at the struggling holy statue before turning and leaving with Haotian.
East Sea.
"The first tourist arrived so quickly?"
Ao Changsheng looked up at the outside of the dojo with slight surprise.
He looked toward the void Sage Zhunti was being suppressed.
As the person who created all of this, it's perfectly normal for him to have the means to detect someone's arrival.
"Two unfamiliar One-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage..." Ao Changsheng looked at the two figures that appeared beside the illusory world, slightly surprised.
He dared not speak of the entire Primordial World, but he did have some understanding of the Quasi-Sage within the East Sea region.
Leaving aside other matters...
After he single-handedly suppressed the Demon Race, almost all the Quasi-Sage in the East Sea came to visit him.
"The aura of these two Quasi-Sage..." Ao Changsheng pondered slightly.
The female cultivator was alright, but in Ao Changsheng's view, the male Quasi-Sage was surrounded by a very strange dragon aura.
Although he has never been in contact with the Dragon Race in this life, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl that Ao Changsheng once obtained contains almost all the inherited knowledge of the Dragon Race.
After searching through the Ancestral Dragon Pearl for a long time, Ao Changsheng finally found the information about the strange dragon energy.
"Is this the Imperial Dragon Qi?"
Ao Changsheng was somewhat surprised.
The Imperial Dragon Qi, according to the records of the Dragon Race, is an aura unique to the Dragon Race.
For the Dragon Race, it neither increases their strength nor improves their cultivation; it only exudes a strong sense of majesty when it erupts.
However, this aura is not innate, but appears on the kings of the Dragon Race, signifying their status as Dragon Race kings.
The most powerful Imperial Dragon Qi naturally came from the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Race.
According to the records in the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, when the Ancestral Dragon exuded his Imperial Dragon Qi, his majestic presence was such that no Great Daluo could make a move in front of Ancestral Dragon.
Even when facing opponents who are also Quasi-Sage, he can intimidate them, making them fearful before the battle even begins and weakening them by three points.
Only...
Ao Changsheng expressed his doubts about the glorious deeds of the Ancestral Dragon in the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
"Imperial Dragon Qi has appeared on a non- Dragon Race... Interesting!" A hint of interest appeared in Ao Changsheng's eyes.
"Could it be that this Imperial Dragon Qi is no longer exclusive to the Dragon Race?" Ao Changsheng wondered to himself.
Unconsciously, Ao Changsheng thought of his previous life, where countless emperors used the dragon as a totem, and the dragon's aura was almost synonymous with the emperor.
She gradually became interested in the figure of the man beside the illusory world.
"If this Imperial Dragon Qi is not from a reincarnated Dragon Race, then could he be the king of some dynasty or regime in the Primordial World?"
In the Primordial World, besides the Lich and Demon races, there were naturally other forces, either vassals of the Lich and Demon races or simply unwilling to join them.
These forces exist in various forms.
There are tribes, alliances, sects, and ethnic groups, and naturally, there is also the power of imperial dynasties.
Only...
"A dynasty established by a Quasi-Sage? I've never heard of it!" Ao Changsheng pondered to himself.
Although there are many forces resisting the Lich and Demon races, they are all small and insignificant, so the Lich and Demon races have no time to deal with them.
But a force established by a Quasi-Sage...
Just like the Eastern King Duke back then, even with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun standing behind him, his ashes were scattered.
Even though the Eastern King Duke had not offended the Demon Race back then, he still couldn't escape this fate.
"It can't be that the lich army perished together, and then they established a dynasty during this period of uncertainty in the Primordial World, can it?"
This guess couldn't help but pop into Ao Changsheng's mind.
If this speculation is true.
Ao Changsheng really had to say... his courage was commendable!
Although the Lich War has ended, this does not mean the end of the Witch-Demon Tribulation, nor does it mean the end of the Lich Era.
For some reason, the Lich War came too suddenly and ended abruptly in this era.
In some ways, the destruction caused by this Primordial World Witch-Demon Tribulation even surpassed that of the Three Races Immeasurable Tribulation of the previous era.
But...
The Primordial World initiated the Immeasurable Tribulation, not so that the cultivators of the Primordial World would destroy it.
Therefore, how long this Immeasurable Tribulation will last remains unknown.
During this Immeasurable Tribulation, not only were the heavenly secrets in chaos, but the Immeasurable Tribulation Primordial World persisted for an unknown duration.
Any Quasi-Sage with even a modicum of sobriety would understand this.
Even though the Great Dao is in turmoil and cultivation is difficult, most Quasi-Sage and even Daluo Immortals would rather cultivate than choose to travel during this period.
Even many of the Primordial World, whose ancestors were either Daluo or Quasi-Sage, would not choose to travel through the Primordial World during this period.
After casually letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Ao Changsheng brought his attention back to the present.
Although the Imperial Dragon Qi piqued Ao Changsheng's curiosity slightly, he didn't have any other intentions to investigate further.
Those who cultivate to the level of Quasi-Sage have all had some extraordinary encounters and treasures.
The only reason they paid attention was because these two were the first and second people to visit his masterpiece.
Only...
