Grandpa, times have changed.

"But as a being who attained enlightenment innately, corresponding to the original intention of 'existence' in all the heavens and myriad worlds of the Chaos Sea, does He really need that one opportunity to merge with the past of the Tai Xuan Realm?"

The Dao returns to the Great Mystery, and from the root level, it takes control of a portion of the power of the Great Mystery Realm.

Apart from the ancients, no other enlightened being has ever attempted such a thing. Whether the difficulty is high or low remains to be seen...

Naturally, it's impossible to know.

"I am more inclined to believe that Gu used the opportunity to seize the power of Tai Xuan for other purposes."

"In other words, it is highly likely that Tai realized his identity as 'not Cang' back then, and Gu discovered this, so he used that opportunity to imprison Tai."

"This also explains why what you just felt, the 'boundary' separating the realm of existence and non-existence, is essentially a manifestation of the Supreme Profound Authority."

"Similarly, this can also explain why Tai harbors such deep resentment and why he interfered with the Dongzhen Cang clan's path to enlightenment before."

He hated that he had been deceived without knowing it.

She also hated herself for being framed and imprisoned by the ancient scheme for so many years, so she also came to hate the Cang Clan itself.

"But according to this logic, Tai should also have had one opportunity to use the power of Tai Xuan. Where did He use it?" Meizu asked.

"Perhaps it was used to ascertain his own identity," Yuanjun sighed.

After all, before that battle, Tai Du considered himself the ancestor of the Cang Clan.

They look down on all ethnic groups except the Cang tribe, regardless of their status.

"I don't know the specifics."

"These are all just speculations at the moment."

"To truly understand what happened in the past, we'll probably have to wait until you see Tai again, or even bring Him out of that place between 'existence' and 'non-existence'."

All of this is speculation.

All of this must be based on the premise that Xuan and Tai are not from the Cang clan, or at least Tai is not from the Cang clan.

But this led to new problems.

Since Tai is not a member of the Cang clan, how did Gu make Him believe that He was a member of the Cang clan?
If it were more serious, and even a mystery wasn't solved...

"Instead of bringing out that damned place, we'd rather have that old bastard dead as soon as we get the chance!" You said through gritted teeth.

"Ah."

Yuanjun nodded slightly
She agreed with that.

Whatever happened between Tai and Gu, whatever Tai's reasons were.

As for the sun itself...

It's best if they're completely dead!
“If we can kill, we should kill. However, it seems that you won’t be able to break through the boundary formed by the Tai Xuan authority for the time being.”

"That's true." Xu Xing nodded.

After all, it was transformed from the power of the Supreme Mystery.

He may not yet be at the level of 'Dao Yuan', but he is definitely higher than him and Xuan are now.

Of course.

That boundary, created by authority, is ultimately uncontrolled and rather 'rigid'.

In addition, Tai has always wanted to get out of this mess, and even went so far as to guide his power so that he would realize it.

As time goes by, the 'boundary' will eventually be broken.

"So before the 'boundary' was completely destroyed, the extent of Ether's resentment might allow us to get some information about the truth of what happened back then if we could contact Him."

“I don’t think so,” Meizu muttered.

Among the four ancestors of the Cang clan, the most extreme and arrogant was Tai.

“Hmm.” Yuan Jun did not refute, “It is possible that you will get nothing at all.”

She just said 'maybe'.

"Wait a minute." Xu Xing seemed to have thought of something. "Besides what you've mentioned, there's another problem."

Ok?
"Xuan will not sit idly by and wait for his death."

"He will certainly also use this method to determine the state of the sun."

"Given other options, Tai might not necessarily continue to try to escape that place through me."

indeed.

Choosing to be a fellow Daoist/Junior Brother/Brother Xu is tantamount to courting death.

If He had chosen the mysterious path, He might have survived.

……

……

time flies.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xu Xing witnessed the boundary formed by the power of Tai Xuan three more times.

But just like the first time I realized it, I gained nothing except seeing Tai.

at the same time.

Beyond the starry sky.

A transformed, vibrant, and habitable planet.

The highest mountain on the planet.

Xuan stood on the near-vertical cliff face, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, the wind biting like a knife.

But He didn't care at all, still looking down into the distance, with a white sphere the size of a thumb floating in front of Him.

Just like that timeline where Xu Xing drained the extraordinary elements.

This was obtained after He traveled far beyond the [Third New Realm], using the Taiyi Realm as a vessel, and through the 'Realm Evolution Method' to open up a timeline and drain the extraordinary elements.

After all, the three realms are now encompassed by the Immortal Net, and choosing a world within them would easily be noticed by the Sword Ancestor.

As for why not just drain the extraordinary elements of the Taiyi Realm directly...

That world is, after all, a realm that is close to the level of the True Cave. Directly extracting the extraordinary elements contained within the world itself would not only cause too much of a commotion, but would also make it difficult to gain the upper hand.

In addition, there are traces of human demons and fairies active in that world.

If we directly target the Taiyi Realm, the demon immortal might notice, and attracting the Sword Ancestor would be a greater loss than gain.

"The answer to the question..."

The question He asked in the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven was not given a definite explanation by Gu.

He simply said he didn't know.

As fellow enlightened beings, and with my current cultivation level far surpassing His, it is indeed reasonable that He is unaware of it.

but……

Does He really not know?
For some reason, Xuan still felt that He was deceiving him.

A moment later, Xuan turned his gaze from the distance to what was in front of him.

Speaking of which, when He obtained the medium and was preparing to leave something for the Taiyi Realm, the Holy Venerable on the other side of the Chaos Sea secretly appeared and took a look.

To avoid any accidents, He punched the Holy One.

This directly worsened the already unhealed Dao injury of the Holy Venerable, and it would probably take him one or two thousand years to recover to his current state.

"Unfortunately, they're not easy to kill."

The human race is now powerful, with fourteen True Immortals coexisting in the world. The Holy Venerable might join the human race's side at any time.

If we could kill Him, it would be best to prevent Him from doing something bad at a crucial moment.

But no matter what, that Holy Venerable is an enlightened being, and given that I cannot easily move my own body right now, I really cannot kill Him.

Immediately, Xuan suppressed his turbulent thoughts.

His pale purple eyes stared straight at the Taiyi Realm timeline where the extraordinary elements had been drained.

quietly.

But a wisp of purple mist appeared out of nowhere and surrounded it.

Soon, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He sensed it.

I felt the part of the power I used to trace and lock onto disappear, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, vanishing into a completely imperceptible realm.

Not long after that part of His power disappeared, a wisp of gray mist, so fine it was almost imperceptible and lasting for less than a fraction of a second, began to emerge.

Xuan wanted to extract it, but was shocked to find that the gray mist was restricted by a high-level power that surpassed that of ordinary enlightened beings and was even higher than his current level, making it impossible to intercept even a fraction of it.

After the gray fog disappeared, He tried again, but found that no matter what He did, He could not reproduce the previous situation.

I thought this attempt was going to be fruitless.

However, the changes are far more than that.

Just as He was about to put away the timeline...

A wisp of purple aura appeared, which was the portion of power that had just disappeared.

Following closely behind the purple aura was a red glow, burning brightly like a torch, a power He was all too familiar with.

"Sword Ancestor?!"

Before the shock had subsided, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out from that point of red light.

hum~
A crimson glow spread out, and the shadow of a red moon appeared, causing ripples to spread across the void like water, shimmering in the sunlight.

The mountain peak beneath their feet was instantly shattered and collapsed.

A magnificent, boundless sword intent, spanning the past and future and permeating the entire planet, was about to cover the whole planet and expand outwards.

Xuan reacted in time and pressed down.

The billowing purple aura then engulfed the red light, shattered the shadow of the red moon, and halted the outward spread of the sword intent.

Xuan stood in mid-air.

A trace of surprise lingered in his eyes.

It's normal that the Sword Ancestor encountered his power while probing through the same medium.

Can……

This seems a bit like something deliberately guiding something to erase that part of your power.
……

……

While Xuan was still completely baffled...

Central Continent.

Sword Sect, Inner Branch.

The Sword Master's Hall.

Then, sitting upright in the center of the dojo, Bie Xuening was holding a small yellow duck carved from 'ochre jade' and examining it carefully.

Ochre jade is a very precious type of jade.

It can be used in medicine and in crafting, but it is most commonly used to make amulets.

Wearing skincare products made of this spiritual jade can help maintain mental clarity during spiritual practice.

Chi Jiuyu bought the spirit ore himself, and after carving it for half a month, he made it as a gift to her.

"Master, please remember to give the gift to my Uncle-Master Ha for me," Chi Jiuyu reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Bie Xuening glanced at her.

"understood."

This traitor has recently made a lot of money, so he not only gave it to her.

He also prepared gifts for his junior brother and junior sister Chenhuan.

The letter has already been sent to Junior Sister Chenhuan, but Junior Brother is currently busy and cannot enter the Sword Ancestor's Hall, so he asked her to pass it on.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my martial uncle lately. Is he taking a break?"

She hadn't seen her martial uncle for over two months.

The 'Civilization Talisman' was a huge hit, but I didn't get to show it off to my senior uncle...

Cough!

She must have felt a little regretful that she couldn't invite her teacher uncle.

"He's busy."

"Ugh! I knew it."

With a personality like that, how could my uncle possibly take a break?

"But if you ask me, with your cultivation level already so high, Uncle-Master should take a proper rest."

Bie Xuening paused:

"Why do you say that?"

"Master, don't you think so?"

Chi Jiuyu didn't pay attention to her master's changing expression and continued talking to herself.

"Keep it up... keep it up, Master, you know what I mean!"

"I noticed it when you asked me to go to Xuanjian City to pick him up after he came out of seclusion."

"My uncle is like someone who has something he absolutely has to do but hasn't finished. Even though he's very tired, he's always tense."

Despite his high cultivation level and easygoing nature, he would occasionally joke with her.

But it just gave her a feeling of being miserable.

"I'm not very good at describing it, but Master, you should understand what I mean, right?" (End of Chapter)
