Chapter 3799 Taiyuan Dao Master

The vast sea of ​​clouds surged endlessly, and the gray-white chaotic air currents rose and fell like tides, each wave seemingly bearing the birth and death of a world.

In the deepest part of that boundless sea of ​​clouds, an ancient Taoist palace stands majestically, having stood for countless years.

The palace walls show no signs of wind and frost erosion, yet the low-hanging eaves exude a sense of weighty authority that has suppressed the ages, as if even time itself cannot leave any trace on them.

The Taoist temple has no name and no plaque.

For the Lord of the Great Dao, titles are superfluous.

The palace was empty, with only the Taoist priest sitting upright on a futon.

His robes were as black as ink, his long hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, his face was thin, his eyes were slightly closed, and his aura was as restrained as water, without the slightest ripple.

However, a broken sword lay across his face.

The sword was over three feet long and broke in the middle, with jagged edges, as if it had been broken by some irresistible force.

The sword's blade was crimson like blood, not from any paint, but from the very depths of its bone, as if something was slowly flowing within it, like an endless river, silently surging across the surface of the blade, yet never dripping a drop.

The intent to kill was so strong it almost solidified into a tangible form.

Suddenly, the broken sword moved.

It wasn't picked up by someone, but trembled on its own.

The sword's cry swept across the room like a raging tide, rising from a low crescendo to a high crescendo in the blink of an eye.

The entire Dao Palace trembled slightly at the sound of the sword. The surging sea of ​​clouds outside the palace was torn open by an invisible force, revealing the bottomless void below.

Within that sword's cry, there was an boundless fighting spirit vying to break free of its shackles.

That was a fighting spirit that had been sealed away for countless years.

And deeper within that fighting spirit, there seemed to be some kind of will roaring and howling.

The next moment, the Taoist opened his eyes and merely glanced at them indifferently.

That one glance froze time and caused the great road to collapse.

The overwhelming fighting spirit was dealt a heavy blow and suppressed in an instant, and the sword's cry came to an abrupt end.

"How dare you be so insolent before me with just a broken sword!"

With a flick of his jade-like hand, the broken sword emitted boundless blood-red light that soared into the sky, instantly filling the entire Dao Palace, and even adding a touch of blood-red color to the Great Dao Cloud Sea.

The Taoist looked at the broken sword, and three thousand great Daos appeared in his pupils, with boundless Dao power surging forth, as if he were deducing something.

Take a breath.

Ten breaths.

One hundred breaths.

The Taoist priest frowned slightly, then let out a soft exclamation.

"I can't figure it out... Could it be that some being is covering up the secrets of heaven for them?!"

"No wonder then. For an avatar to have reached this point, I shall see who truly dares to oppose me!"

The Taoist's calm face now showed a cold expression.

Followed by.

With a flick of his hand, a scroll of the Great Dao appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his sleeve, the scroll seemed to contain the boundless chaos, and all sorts of scenes were about to emerge, but in an instant, they had already fallen silent again.

finally,

The huge screen was now just a blank space.

This scene.

This made the Taoist's face turn completely cold.

"Very well, you can't even deduce the Creation Scroll, Jiang Jiuye. It seems I underestimated you!"

"Since you all dared to plot against me, then don't blame me—"

As he took a step forward, the sea of ​​clouds outside the Dao Palace surged beneath his feet, and the chaotic primordial energy retreated like a tide.

He doesn't need to tear through the void, because the void will make way for him.

However, the Taoist stopped in his tracks the next moment.

This was because a figure in green robes appeared before him.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, his long hair flowing freely, his face handsome, and a faint smile playing on his lips.

He just stood there, without making any unnecessary movements, but the entire void seemed to revolve around him.

Upon seeing the other person, the Taoist's face immediately darkened.

"Northern Wilderness Sword Master... are you going to stop me?"

"I dare not presume to obstruct you; I merely wish to request that Daoist Taiyuan cease his advance!"

The Northern Wilderness Sword Master stood with his hands behind his back and smiled calmly.

These words were spoken.

The aura of the void suddenly stopped.

The Taiyuan Dao Master's face was icy: "So, you're the one behind Jiang Jiuye?"

"I do not wish to interfere in your feud with Jiang Jiuye, but I hope that Daoist Taiyuan will stop here and not persist in his own way!"

"Since Jiang Jiuye has nothing to do with you, then make way for me."

The Taiyuan Dao Master's expression softened slightly. As fellow Dao Masters, the strength of the person before him was not to be underestimated, and he did not want to fight him unless necessary.

however.

Faced with the words of the Daoist Master Taiyuan, the Sword Master of the Northern Wilderness shook his head slightly.

"Please, Daoist Master Taiyuan, stop here!"

"Do you truly wish to be my enemy?"

The Dao Lord of Taiyuan was finally enraged. In an instant, the entire void trembled violently, and terrifying chaotic primordial energy transformed into raging waves, as if everything was about to return to nothingness.

The Northern Wilderness Sword Master stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged, but the void around him was calm and unaffected.

"If you wish to fight, I will gladly oblige!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Master Taiyuan's expression turned cold. He stared at the Sword Master of the Northern Wilderness for a long time, but ultimately did not make a move. The previously boiling chaotic energy suddenly quieted down, but the aura became increasingly dull and terrifying.

After a while.

The Dao Master of Taiyuan spoke slowly, his voice filled with endless chill.

"Very well, I will remember this cause and effect, and I will seek retribution in the future!"

Done.

The Daoist Master of Taiyuan gave the Sword Master of the Northern Wilderness a deep look before turning and leaving.

He did not fight back.

In his recent battle with Jiang Jiuye, although he suppressed and killed him, the price he paid was not light.

It would be difficult to gain the upper hand if we were to fight this Northern Wilderness Swordsman now.

and so.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to back down, the Taiyuan Dao Master had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Watching the direction the other party had left, the Northern Wilderness Sword Master remained calm, though a hint of coldness flickered in the depths of his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

next interest.

The figure of the Northern Wilderness Sword Master also slowly dissipated.

……

at the same time.

Qixuan Dao Sect, inside Cangyun Immortal Mansion.

At the moment when the Taiyuan Dao Master was deducing the secrets of heaven, Shen Changqing suddenly had a feeling that great calamity was about to befall him.

This feeling was as if some terrifying being was looking down from the heavens, as if a single thought could annihilate him.

That sense of crisis was far stronger than any crisis Shen Changqing had ever encountered before.

even.

The Soul-Destroying Sword in the sea of ​​consciousness was trembling slightly.

"Lord of the Great Dao!"

The four words popped into Shen Changqing's mind, and his expression immediately turned serious.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This is the Lord of the Great Dao that Jiu Ye mentioned, who is currently deducing the secrets of heaven and trying to find the other party's whereabouts.

however.

With the Nine Leaves residing on oneself, if the other party wants to deduce the secrets of heaven, then naturally the deduction will fall upon oneself.

However, although this feeling is intense, it comes and goes quickly.

Just then.

Jiuye's voice appeared from within her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Don't panic. That is his true self deducing the secrets of heaven. With his abilities, if he can deduce our whereabouts, he can wipe us out in an instant."

The fact that he hasn't made a move yet means he hasn't truly found my whereabouts.

You possess great potential; as long as you don't actively reveal it, your true self will never notice a clue!

Done.

Jiuye then fell silent once again.

Shen Changqing understood.

The other party's words confirmed what he had in mind.

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing looked inward at the Seven Profound Divine Tower in the Heavenly Universe. This supreme treasure exuded a subtle Daoist charm and was quietly staying in the Heavenly Universe, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

In the Earthly Universe, the Soul-Destroying Sword remained there, seemingly lifeless, without any further movement.

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, temporarily putting the matter of that Great Dao Master out of his mind.

That level of existence is beyond my reach.

Just as Jiu Ye said, if the other party really deduced something, then at this moment he either had to enter the Seven Profound Divine Tower to save his life, or he would perish on the spot.

Since nothing has happened yet, it means that person hasn't deduced anything useful.

Vast chaos.

Without divine guidance, even the Lord of the Great Dao, Shen Changqing believed, would not be able to find him easily.

Seeing that Jiu Ye had fallen asleep again, Shen Changqing closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation in silence.

……

at the same time.

Within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, in the oldest immortal hall, a divine statue has stood eternally, receiving offerings from the Taiyi Immortal Sect throughout the ages.

now.

The statue trembled.

A terrifying burst of immortal light and Daoist aura erupted, shaking the heavens and causing the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect to tremble violently.

That instant.

All the powerful figures of the vast Taiyi Immortal Sect were alarmed. Even many ancient beings who had lived in seclusion turned their gazes toward the Immortal Palace Lock, their eyes filled with horror.

"That's the Dao Ancestor's Immortal Palace!"

"For so many years, the Dao Ancestor has manifested his power. Could it be that he has issued another decree?"

Their hearts were shaken; their Daoist hearts, which had been calm for countless years, were now in turmoil.

In the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect, there is only one being who truly deserves to be called the Dao Ancestor, and that is the supreme powerhouse who personally established the Taiyi Immortal Sect at the beginning of ancient times.

For the cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, that person is revered as the Dao Ancestor, the progenitor of the Great Dao.

Although such claims are somewhat exaggerated, they are enough to illustrate the supreme status held by this Dao Ancestor.

now.

The commotion caused by the Dao Ancestor's Immortal Palace was truly astonishing to them.

Almost instantly, many powerful figures stepped into the Dao Ancestor's Immortal Palace, their faces filled with excitement as they gazed at the supreme divine statue that had existed since time immemorial.

"A junior of the Taiyi Immortal Sect pays respects to the Dao Ancestor!"

The leading Taoist priest bowed and paid his respects to the statue, and the other cultivators followed suit.

The moment their words fell, all the celestial lights and phenomena converged, eventually transforming into a supreme being whose face was obscured. This being looked down upon the numerous cultivators below like a god, and slowly spoke, a voice like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao falling into everyone's ears.

"You are here to obey my orders: find the whereabouts of the owner of this blood, and then suppress him. Do not fail!"

As soon as the words fell, the void before them suddenly tore open, and a drop of blood, like agate, appeared, with a terrifying, abyss-like pressure sweeping everything away.

All the cultivators stared in horror at the scene before them, but before they could speak, the figure vanished. (End of Chapter)
