Secrets of Years Past

The Supreme Sect Master's cloud-and-mist body merged into the Mad Immortal the instant it touched him.

The Miracle Fire, wrapped in World Force, also successfully grew its way into the Mad Immortal's body.

Moments later, the World Force was burned away by the Miracle Fire. Blazing Miracle Fire erupted within the Mad Immortal, golden flames spreading through his body at an astonishing speed.

The Mad Immortal instinctively tried to sever his tail to survive. His enormous body suddenly exploded, and the massive shockwave flattened everything within ten thousand miles. But unfortunately, the Miracle Fire had erupted inside him. In the instant of the explosion, the flames ignited his energy cycle, and the seed of the Miracle Fire had already taken root evenly throughout his body along that cycle.

Even exploding his body merely made the flames burn faster.

Moreover, as the Miracle Fire burned, the power that had twisted the Dao arts was consumed, and the Supreme Sect Master's warped consciousness gradually began to recover.

"Has ten thousand years already passed?"

The Mad Immortal's vortex-like face transformed into Daoist Xuanqing's wolf head, signifying that the Supreme Sect Master's sanity had fully returned.

His mountain-sized body gradually shrank, ultimately becoming roughly as tall as Richard. The Miracle Fire still blazed fiercely, but after the Supreme Sect Master's sanity returned, its spread visibly slowed.

The Supreme Sect Master gave Richard a distant bow and smiled. "Fellow Daoist, could you resolve a doubt of mine?"

Richard nodded slightly. "I don't know what this supreme treasure of the Great Dao you mentioned is. But this thing does indeed stand at a very high level."

The Supreme Sect Master took one step and instantly appeared beside Richard.

"It seems, Fellow Daoist, that you are a man destined for great accomplishments."

Richard raised a brow slightly.
