Chapter 1787 The Tongtian Cult Leader Returns to the Primordial World

Deng Chanyu rushed over because the Tongtian Sect Leader had made a new discovery.

She asked, "Brother Daoist, is that the place you mentioned?"

"It's behind." The Tongtian Sect Leader sheathed his sword and led the way. Soon they arrived at a pile of rubble behind the lair.

A jumble of substances that could barely be called stones were piled up haphazardly, with a sticky black slime on their surface. The stench emanating from them made Deng Chanyu frown slightly.

The Tongtian Sect Leader cast two spells, and the pile of stones, which had been accumulating for an unknown period of time, slowly deformed and quickly formed a downward passage.

They reached the bottom of the passageway.

A blue stone tablet, completely out of place with the style of the Demon God's Nest, appeared before them.

The front of the stone tablet has seven large characters that read "I'll be waiting for you in the future".

Deng Chanyu's face was serious. Tongtian Jiaozhu said from the side, "Originally, I didn't plan to come in and was even going to go around. But when I heard from Lingbao that you had attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, I drew my sword and killed that Chaos Demon God outside. However, I never expected that the other party had even anticipated all of this and deliberately placed this stone tablet to wait for us. How dare they! How cunning!"

What level of attainment does a sage reach?
A sage understands Yin and Yang, knows Heaven and Earth, elucidates the universe, transforms Heaven and Earth, grasps the mysteries of all realms, comprehends the infinity of the Great Dao, and his words carry the law; even falsehoods can become truth. With a thought that turns the universe into creation, all things are born and die in the midst of laughter and conversation.

The idea that a powerful being anticipated the actions of the Tongtian Sect Leader and placed this provocative stone tablet here beforehand is thought-provoking.

The Tongtian Sect Leader is a typical example of "impulsive crime." He had planned to take a detour beforehand, but he was provoked by Deng Chanyu's attainment of sainthood, which led him to vent his anger on the Chaos Demon God outside. As it turned out, all of this was within the expectations of the hidden enemy.

"Is it an enemy of time?" asked the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Way of Time is unpredictable and known for being impossible to guard against, but even sages are not afraid of it. No matter how deeply you hide, you will eventually have to face it head-on. If you fight head-on and reveal your health bar, you will definitely expose your weaknesses.

Deng Chanyu carefully examined the stone tablet and found that it contained no trace of the power of time.

There are only two possibilities: either the stone tablet has been there for a very long time, and the power of time has been assimilated by the chaotic spiritual energy, or the other party's methods of manipulating time far exceed her comprehension.

The Tongtian Sect Leader waited a while before asking, "Who do you believe it to be, fellow Daoist?"

Deng Chanyu replied uncertainly, "I guess it's most likely Yang Mei."

"Immortal Yangmei? Didn't he perish? Master Hongjun personally confirmed it." Tongtian Sect Leader was somewhat surprised.

Deng Chanyu spoke as if reciting a tongue twister: "Yang Mei of the primordial world perished, but Yang Mei of the chaos may not. The fact that Yang Mei's original body turned to ashes does not mean that others cannot 'transform' into Yang Mei."

The Master of the Heavenly Sect seemed to be deep in thought.

He roughly understood what Deng Chanyu meant; he could do similar things too: "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Deng Chanyu shared her analysis: "In the past, the Dao Ancestor had Haotian and Yaochi serving him, the Yin Yang Ancestor had a group of disciples and grand-disciples, and the Qiankun Ancestor had his own Daoist partner and several attendants. However, we know very little about the people around Yang Mei, or even any information at all."

The traces of the other party's existence were clearly concealed by external forces. At that time, the Dao Ancestor had not yet become a saint, so it is possible that He secretly did something to tamper with things.

Everyone else has disciples and attendants, but you, Yang Mei, are all alone? You're so unsociable.

Initially, Hongjun and his team were known for their close friendship. If you had a pageboy, I had to have one too. They would compare and show off to each other, which was the norm.

Yang Mei's attendant was extremely well hidden; even Hongjun had only heard of him but never seen him. Now, all traces of this attendant's existence have vanished. Even a sage cannot retrieve any crucial information; it's vague, as if he existed, yet also as if he didn't. Yang Mei is indeed dead beyond any doubt; Hongjun is certain of this.

However, the character beside Yang Mei, who resembles a servant boy or even a disciple, has remained hidden in the mist and has not yet shown himself.

Psychologically speaking, when a person idolizes another person so much that their imitation of the idol reaches the point of abandoning their own identity, there are quite a few such madmen in the United States. Many serial killers have been committing crimes for decades. Were they always the same killer? No, many of them committed crimes because of their idols.

Upon seeing the news, the real killers are probably in a state of shock, thinking, "I've become their double?"

There are many ways to do this in the primordial world. If Yang Mei's disciple abandons himself, practices Yang Mei's skills diligently, and imitates his every word and deed, it is possible for another Yang Mei to be born in his own body.

The reason Deng Chanyu did not follow Yang Mei's old path but instead chose to explore the thorny path of time and space was because of this concern.

She struck out with her palm, shattering the stone tablet to pieces. The higher she stood, the more she knew fear. There were just too many strange and unusual Dao abilities. She didn't know what kind of arrangement this thing had, and she couldn't bring it back to the prehistoric world.

"Brother Dao, how about we return to the primordial world together?" she invited the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Tongtian Sect Leader pondered for a moment; he was indeed somewhat worried about Daoist Duobao.

Lingbao Tianzun represents his heart's yearning for the Dao. This corpse-severing clone has no master-disciple relationship with Duobao, while Tongtian has a very deep bond with his eldest disciple.

He quickly made up his mind: "Alright, then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

A shocking message spread from the East Sea to every corner of the primordial world.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, who had traveled for a thousand years, returned to the primordial world.

Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, and other disciples of the Jie Sect were extremely excited, and Wuyunxian was even more moved to tears, her expression like that of a crying infant.

The disciples welcomed the Holy Master back with the most solemn ceremony, showing concern for him every day, fearing that he might suddenly disappear again one day.

The Tongtian Sect Leader first glanced at the half-dead Duobao Daoist, then the sage sect leader snorted coldly, drew his Qingping Sword, and slashed it towards the Heavenly Court.

Seeing the sword light hurtling towards him, Thor had no way to dodge it, nor did he dare to.

Duobao's current state is due to two main reasons: his own eagerness to attain enlightenment and the chaotic divine lightning "provided" by the Thunder God.

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't blame Duobao, he could only vent his anger on Leishen.

Dodge? Even if you could dodge, you shouldn't now.

Taking a direct hit is one sword strike, but dodging it could mean countless more.

Thor gritted his teeth, his body crackling with lightning, and withstood a slash of light from the Qingping Sword.

Blood splattered everywhere. With just one sword strike, this top-tier Quasi-Saint of the Primordial World was severely injured and on the verge of death. His condition was not much better than that of the Ancestral Dragon lying dead.

After venting his anger, the Tongtian Sect Leader returned to his Yu Yu Heaven to cultivate.
