Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 293 The Hidden Secrets of the Great Abyss Ten Thousand Years Ago
Even Taihao's act of flipping the table affected Jingqian and Egao Shangdi, who were standing nearby.

Jing Qian clearly sensed that [Taihao] had taken a trace of magical energy from him and sent it to the depths of [Dayuan].

Whatever Taihao wants to do, it will undoubtedly directly affect him.

Dao Yuan continued speaking:
"[Taihao], you really are a dog!"

"I just hurt you, and you're already rushing to your master for help."

"Run further and faster, don't stop, let me catch up with you."

"Otherwise, you can imagine what your fate will be!"

Having said that, the old ox, Daoyuan, suddenly attacked and soared into the sky.

Golden light continued to emanate from the hole between his eyebrows, shining upon Taihao with unparalleled power.

This time, the sword light did not exert its penetrating power, but instead tightly wrapped around it, dragging it toward the hole between his eyebrows.

Dao Yuan, with his Transcendent cultivation, forcefully swallowed the powerful figure from the Other Shore!
This great battle, which destroyed the entire [Ark of the Other Shore], came to an abrupt end!

At present, the demons in the [Million Palace] are still rapidly retreating, while the body of [Tai Sui] is still rapidly burning away.

But the battlefield high in the sky has become completely calm.

Jing Qian and [E Gao Shangdi] slowly flew to [Dao Yuan]'s side.

After his cultivation was fully restored, the once withered old white ox underwent a dramatic transformation!

What appeared before Jing Qian was a glossy, elegant blue water buffalo.

Its fur is dense, with patterns hidden beneath its skin, giving it an obvious presence of immense power.

The newlyweds walked up to the blue ox and bowed in greeting.

"Congratulations to our esteemed ancestor on returning to the realm of transcendence."

【Goddess Ego】was the first to offer her congratulations, her voice ethereal like celestial music from the heavens.

"I must thank you for helping me escape this predicament, otherwise I would surely have fallen into the hands of [Taihao], and my path would have been fraught with danger."

Jing Qian, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:
"Congratulations to Lord Niu for regaining his magical powers; he no longer needs to frolic in the mortal world."

[Daoyuan] The green ox slowly withdrew its magic power and let out a long sigh.

After absorbing the [Taihao] divine soul, it was greatly replenished and its condition improved significantly.

Then it turned to look at the two people in front of it and said:
"I never imagined that my [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle] would be so full of talented people!"

"One [Child of Imagination], one [Oath Keeper], two of the seven great organizations of the Void are now included."

"I myself come from the Dao Branch, and with Xuanyuan's Heavenly Rank, our realm has actually gathered more than half of the void organizations, which is truly remarkable."

"You two have a solid foundation and a bright future ahead of you, and you will undoubtedly have even greater prospects in the future."

"My ability to restore my former appearance is also directly related to the two of you."

"I accept this favor."

"You two may speak freely about any needs you may have."

"If I can do it, I will be satisfied."

Jing Qian then asked:
"Master Niu, Taihao's actions just now have dragged us into this as well. What is his purpose? Please enlighten us, Master."

Dao Yuan blinked and replied:
"This matter is quite significant, and can be traced back to the story of the [Tide Rising] 100,000 years ago."

"If you two have the time, you can listen to me explain in detail."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian immediately perked up his ears and picked up a small stool to listen to the lesson.

He desperately wanted to know what happened 100,000 years ago!
How did so many highly skilled and powerful Transcendent Ancestors die?

Why did such a flourishing spiritual civilization vanish in an instant?

And what a terrifying calamity that is the "Tide's Roar," and who is the power behind it?

Furthermore, there must be other, deeper secrets that Jing Qian did not anticipate or come into contact with.

All of this is related to his future path of cultivation, and he naturally hopes to master it as soon as possible.

Now, he has the privilege of hearing firsthand accounts from someone who lived 100,000 years ago. What an incredible opportunity! He would never miss it.

Seeing that the two children were quite interested, Daoyuan then began to tell them a story seriously.

It has been guarding the Pure Yang Heaven for 100,000 years without doing anything of substance.

The Pure Yang Heaven was used to amuse the child!

When it comes to the ability to organize public lectures and write lesson plans, he is unparalleled among the Ten Ancestors of Daoyuan. Through his narration, the true structure of the entire Dayuan sect was revealed to Jingqian.

But then the old ox said:

"The fact that you two can stand on the [Clock of Time] suggests that you must have a relatively clear understanding of the essence of my [Great Abyss]."

"The world we inhabit is the place where the five venerable saints of [Heart], [Destiny], [Qi], [Immortal], and [Time] reside in their mortal forms."

"In order to protect their own Dharma transformation, the five Venerable Saints joined forces to create the Great Abyss Heavenly River, which encircles them."

"And the five Venerable Saints possess great magical power. The [Great Abyss Heavenly River], which they jointly refined, is naturally also at the [Great Ruins] level."

"In this way, the combined power of the six supreme saints within my [Great Abyss] is unparalleled in its profound foundation!"

"Alas, only the physical bodies of the five Venerable Saints remain here; their souls have gone to a great secret location discovered by the [Heart Saint] and have not returned to this day." "Many even speculate that they will never come back!"

"Over the years, the landscape within the Great Abyss has continuously evolved, and the cultivation power has been iterating day by day, resulting in a brand new landscape."

"Within the present world of [Dayuan], the path of cultivation is like a hundred flowers blooming, striving upwards!"

"This is of course thanks to the enormous resources and boundless fortune left behind by the five Venerable Saints."

"Over the course of millions of years, my Great Abyss has produced more than a hundred Transcendent Powerhouses, and even a few Other Shore Powerhouses."

"If this pace continues, I, [Dayuan], will surely become the strongest being in the void!"

"It's even possible that a new [totem] will be erected again, opening up a new [Great Ruins]!"

"But everything has its pros and cons, its gains and losses!"

"Within this Great Abyss, there is another force hiding in the shadows, an enemy of the people of this world."

"This force is none other than the Dao Sinner from the Great Abyss Heavenly River!"

"If you have been to the Great Abyss Heavenly River and witnessed the true existence of the Dao Sin, you should know this."

"These kinds of evil creatures possess the aura of a totem, have strong magical power, and are extremely well-suited to the environment of the Great Abyss River, where they live year-round."

"These kinds of [Daoist Abominations] do not possess complete intelligence when they are at the [Human Abomination] level; they are merely puppets of magical power."

"But once one reaches the level of the [Great Evil], one possesses the cultivation of [Transcendence], with a clear mind and no different from ordinary people."

"As for the higher-ranking [True Abominations], they must be at the [Other Shore] rank, possessing formidable magical power, capable of suppressing the power of the [Great Abyss Heavenly River] and establishing the [Abyss Prison].

"In essence, this [Daoist Affliction] did not arise out of thin air, but also originated from the five Venerable Saints."

The blue ox's voice deepened, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, as he continued:

"When the five Venerable Saints are immersed in the Great Abyss Heavenly River for many years, even their physical bodies at the Totem level will change over time."

"And the so-called 'Daoist evils' are leeches and maggots that sprouted from the bodies of the five Venerable Saints!"

"Call it 'Taoist evil,' 'Taoist leech,' or 'Taoist maggot' if you like."

"Just know that these kinds of creatures are pests that were peeled off from the [totem]!"

"It is only because the [Totem] Saint's rank is too high and his power is too strong that these [Dao Abominations] have also inherited an extremely high level of power."

"In fact, the five Venerable Saints had already made arrangements to eliminate the influence of this [Taoist Sin]. All we need to do is follow the cultivation methods taught by the Venerable Saints and improve our cultivation step by step."

"The cultivators who are able to eventually set foot on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi] will use the power of [Dao Nie] to enhance their own foundation of the Great Dao."

"As long as the cultivation world of the Great Abyss becomes more prosperous and more and more second-grade cultivators appear, the Dao Sin will be continuously consumed and will not pose any threat at all."

"In fact, if everything goes smoothly, there might even come a day when there aren't enough [Daoist Debts] to go around."

"I still remember those years when you, all of you, used your great power and painstaking efforts to build one 'Ark of the Other Shore' after another, venturing deep into the 'Great Abyss River' to hunt for the 'Dao'."
"This is both to cleanse the Great Abyss of its filth and defilement, and to compete for cultivation resources."

"It was a scene of fierce competition, a truly lively spectacle!"

"And my [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle] can also be called the most outstanding and the most robust one among them."

At this point, Daoyuan revealed an expression of both longing and nostalgia.

That was the most glorious and unrestrained stage of its cultivation journey.

It went on to say:

"Unfortunately, a catastrophe 100,000 years ago completely shattered this balance!"

"With the intervention of the [True Evil], the power of the [Great Abyss Heavenly River] was unleashed, cleansing the mortal world and suppressing and purging all cultivators of the first rank and above."

"In the competition with the [Dao Nie], we cultivators of the present world have suffered a complete defeat and have utterly fallen."

"Over the past 100,000 years, the entire cultivation world in the present age has regressed infinitely, which is truly a pity."

"Just considering the various realms, the number and quality of cultivators producing the third rank have decreased by at least 90%!"

"And this also means that the number of [Daoist Demons] is increasing at a rate of tenfold or even a hundredfold!"

"With this shift in power, the balance of power between us and the [Daoist Evil] has undoubtedly widened significantly!"

The description in "Dao Yuan" is concise yet profound, giving Jing Qian a deeper understanding of this world.

But this also raised more questions for him, so he directly asked:
"Uncle Niu, from what you've told me, the cultivation world of my [Great Abyss] was once incredibly glorious, even able to suppress [Dao Nie] and penetrate deep into the [Great Abyss Heavenly River]."

"I myself have been inside the Great Abyss Heavenly River and witnessed the so-called power of the Dao Sin."

"It's not that I underestimate them, but those innate saints have acquired their cultivation too easily, lacking the tempering and competition. Their Dao power and Dao techniques are not systematic, so they can't be considered any threatening opponents at all."

"How can you possibly compete with cultivators like us who have undergone countless trials and tribulations?"

"With my current cultivation level, I am confident that I can reliably kill the [Great Evil]."

"And the former patriarchs were no less powerful than me in terms of cultivation and combat strength. I imagine each of them was capable of taking on a large number of [Dao Sins] single-handedly."

"In my limited knowledge, I cannot imagine why they would lose!"

[Daoyuan] seemed to be recalling something, or perhaps expressing resentment, and then continued:

"There's more to this than meets the eye; it involves forces from outside the realm, those void organizations!"

"Let me explain in detail!"
