The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"It really is Daoist Da Mo." Lei Zhan's heart stirred.

The entire Great Mo Eternal Realm was originally called the Yi Bo Eternal Realm, which was left behind by the original Emperor Yi Bo.

Within this eternal realm, there are still more than ten mysterious and dangerous places that have not been fully explored and developed.

Even so, the Great Mo Dao Lord's control over the entire Great Mo Eternal Realm is extremely profound. It is very difficult to conceal many things from the Great Mo Dao Lord within the Great Mo Eternal Realm.

Moreover, the Great Mo Academy, founded by the Great Mo Dao Lord, is also located within this Eternal Realm.

"Da Mo... Dao Jun?" Su Qi, the World God, was startled and immediately transmitted his voice, "Master, this Dao Jun Da Mo has sent a disciple to invite us. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."

The arrival of the World God of the Dragon Binding World has already attracted the attention of many cultivators.

The God of the Bound Dragon World is a disciple of the Great Mo Dao Lord of the Great Mo Academy. Many people know him, and they all look at him with curiosity.

"The Great Dao Lord sent this Dragon-Binding World God to invite us; he must have come with good intentions." Lei Zhan's mind echoed with the voice transmission of World God Su Qi, and his thoughts raced.

"Given the methods of the Great Mo Dao Lord and his achievements in divination, if he truly intended to harm me, he would have captured me the moment Su Qi and I entered the Great Mo Eternal Realm. But now, we have safely arrived in Yi Bo City, and even the God of the Bound Dragon World has come to invite us..."

It should be known that Daoist Da Mo is the undisputed number one cultivator in the entire Da Mo Domain, possessing extremely strong abilities.

After all, the Heaven-Defying Dao Lord who has embarked on the path of the strongest is only a third-step Dao Lord, and his greatest strength is not combat, but his true strength is at least at the edge of the Dao Integration level.

If such an existence were to truly deal with Lei Zhan, even if Lei Zhan were to use Qian Yi's Void Realm as a trump card, he would likely find it difficult to escape.

As for whether Daoist Da Mo knew about Lei Zhan obtaining the Qianyi Void Realm treasure...

This matter was kept very secret; apart from a few spirits and puppets in the Pantheon, only three servants under its command knew about it.

But the Pantheon naturally had no reason to leak this information.

As for Su Qi, the World God, and his servants, they were bound by a life-bound oath, so even if a powerful being searched their souls, they could not obtain any information.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lei Zhan's mind, and he used telepathy to reassure Su Qi, the World God.

Lei Zhan's gaze fell on the World God of the Dragon-Binding World. "Since Daoist Da Mo has invited you, then I will trouble Fellow Daoist of the Dragon-Binding World to lead the way."

"That's natural." The God of the Bound Dragon World also smiled.

Although he was very puzzled that his master, Daojun Damo, had invited a world god who had no reputation whatsoever, he did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

After all, someone who can take a peak world god as a follower must be exceptionally strong.

It should be noted that the Pantheon Palace slaughtered dozens of World Gods and Chaos Immortals, forcing several peak World Gods, including Su Qi, to acknowledge him as their master...

The events that occurred within the Pantheon were too brief to spread to the point where everyone knew about them so quickly.

The God of the Bound Dragon World was in seclusion in the Great Mo Academy, so naturally he was completely unaware of this.

……

Wow~~~
Ripples spread through the space, and a streak of light appeared from the distant horizon, then arrived directly in front of a lake.

"Fellow Daoist Guiyi, Fellow Daoist Suqi," the World God of the Bound Dragon World pointed ahead and laughed, "This is my Great Mo Academy."

Ahead lay a vast lake, spanning millions of miles. To mortals, this would be considered an ocean, but to cultivators, it was merely an inland lake.

Within this vast lake are numerous islands, each with a large courtyard containing many buildings, and outside the entire courtyard stands a massive stone monument.

The stele is thousands of feet tall, with only two large characters on it: Da Mo!
Its imposing presence spread out in waves, shaking heaven and earth.

“Da Mo Yuan.” Lei Zhan looked on from afar.

For a World God, a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles is as clear as the lines on the palm of their hand, so both Lei Zhan and Su Qi, the World Gods, could see it very clearly.

“Fellow Daoist Gui.” The World God of the Bound Dragon World turned to look at Lei Zhan and said with a smile, “Please come with me, Fellow Daoist. Master should already be waiting for you inside.”

As for Fellow Daoist Su Qi, there are many sights worth seeing within my Great Mo Academy. After I lead Fellow Daoist Gui to meet our master, I will then show you around the scenery of my Great Mo Academy.”

Su Qi, the World God, looked up at Lei Zhan. Seeing that his master had no further instructions, he nodded and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Fulong."

"Hmm." The Bound Dragon World God nodded, beckoned a ancestral god to receive Su Qi, the World God, and then looked at Lei Zhan, "Please follow me, Fellow Daoist Guiyi."

Lei Zhan nodded, naturally agreeing with the suggestion.

……

The entire Da Mo Courtyard is the lair of the Da Mo Dao Lord, and even the Da Mo Dao Lord himself lives in the Da Mo Courtyard.

In the most secluded and quiet courtyard of the Great Mo Academy, Lei Zhan met this powerful Dao Lord, who was known as one of the top three in deduction among countless Dao Lords in the endless territory.

"Greetings, Daoist Da Mo." Lei Zhan bowed to the man in the green robe before him.

Daoist Da Mo sat casually cross-legged outside a thatched hut, with a long wooden table in front of him. He pointed to the futon opposite the long wooden table and said with a smile, "Sit."

"Yes." Lei Zhan nodded and then sat cross-legged on the futon.

"First, try my newly brewed wine. The main ingredients for this wine are quite rare. It takes a million years to produce only about a hundred catties of it. It has a very good flavor." Daoist Da Mo smiled and waved his hand, and two jugs of wine appeared out of thin air on the wooden table.

Daoist Da Mo grabbed one of the gourds, while the other flew to Lei Zhan's front. "Hmm?" Lei Zhan was full of doubts, somewhat unsure of Daoist Da Mo's intentions, but he readily complied.

Seeing Da Mo Daojun drinking on his own, Lei Zhan naturally picked up the wine pot in front of him and took a sip.

However, as soon as the wine entered the throat, it was silently annihilated into nothingness under the influence of the power of time and space.

Although it is difficult to resist, Lei Zhan is not lacking in the necessary vigilance.

Before understanding Da Mo Daojun's intentions, Lei Zhan dared not casually swallow the fine wine.

"No need to be nervous." Daojun Damo looked at Lei Zhan and smiled. "I also heard some things about you from Senior Wanshan. It just so happens that you have come to my Damo Eternal Realm, so I thought I would invite you here to meet this prodigy."

"Senior Wanshan?" Lei Zhan nodded.

When Da Mo Daojun was young, he grew up with the help of the Myriad Gods Palace, so it is reasonable that he could have a connection with the array spirit of the Myriad Mountains.

"No wonder the Great Mo Daojun sent his disciples to invite me and offered me fine wine..." Lei Zhan muttered to himself, feeling a little relieved.

Facing a three-step Dao Lord who had reached the strongest path, even though Lei Zhan was exceptionally strong, he still felt immense pressure.

This is their stronghold, and given their strength, killing them wouldn't be difficult.

"Return to One." Daoist Da Mo looked at Lei Zhan and asked, "Did you go to Yi Bo City to buy and sell treasures, or to participate in the treasure-hunting competition more than ninety years later?"

“Yes, we do have that plan,” Lei Zhan nodded.

"The Dao of Time and Space is inherently mysterious, and you have comprehended two of the strongest Daos in succession. It will be very easy for you to break through to become a Dao Lord of Life and Death. You should indeed acquire more treasures to increase your foundation."

Daoist Da Mo nodded and said, "The reason I invited you here this time, besides having some connection with Senior Wan Shan, is actually because I've been speculating about the future. After seeing just a glimpse of what the future holds for you, I'm using the Wan Shen Mansion as a connection to smoothly establish a good relationship with you."

Daoist Da Mo has seen many prodigies. In fact, he himself is a prodigy.

Over the long years, Daoist Da Mo had also seen other extraordinary talents on the path of cultivation, but many of them died on the path of cultivation.

But Lei Zhan is different from those prodigies. Lei Zhan has embarked on the path of the strongest, and even multiple paths of the strongest.

Once he reaches the World Realm, he can rival many Second-Step Dao Lords. If Lei Zhan wants to break through to become a Life and Death Dao Lord, it will be a matter of time.

Furthermore, once they break through, their strength will experience a qualitative leap, becoming comparable to that of an ordinary Three-Step Dao Lord.

It can be said that Daoist Da Mo regarded Lei Zhan as an existence on the same level. After receiving news of Lei Zhan from the array spirit Wan Shan, he even spent a lot of time and energy deducing the truth.

Naturally, Daoist Da Mo also saw some possible future possibilities.

After all, there are too many possibilities for the future. Da Mo Dao Jun is not very familiar with the battle formation, and can only deduce possibilities.

Moreover, this scope is too large, but even so, it is worthwhile for Daoist Da Mo to put in some effort to befriend him.

"Predicting the future? Forming a good relationship with me?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, looking at Daoist Da Mo curiously, "I wonder if you have predicted anything?"

“I didn’t see anything. Your future is too uncertain.” Daoist Da Mo shook his head helplessly. “Your future is too uncertain. Even if I’m just lifting the tip of the iceberg of your future, what I see may change at any time.”

Telling you this possibility would actually affect your future.

Da Mo Daojun took a sip of fine wine, paused, and then continued, "What I can tell you is... to continue down the path you have chosen."

"Your future self, as long as you don't perish along the way, will shine brightly."

"Continue on the path I've chosen...?" Lei Zhan fell into deep thought. Wasn't his own path the ultimate path?

How could the ultimate goal of time and space not be dazzling?

The information provided by Daoist Da Mo was scarce, and there was no point in thinking too much. Of course, he would continue on the current path anyway.

Shaking his head, Lei Zhan stopped thinking about it. "Daojun, do you know about the Heavenly Azure Palace?"

"Hmm?" Daoist Da Mo was taken aback and looked at Lei Zhan curiously, "Why did you suddenly bring up Tiancang Palace?"

"When I was young, I received help from a world god of the Heavenly Palace. However, by then, he was already just a wisp of his true spirit about to dissipate." Lei Zhan gazed leisurely, thinking of the old man he had encountered in the chaos when he was young.

The cause and effect of the past have become much easier to resolve now through the communication of Daoist Da Mo.

Lei Zhan knew very well that Daoist Da Mo and Daoist Tian Yi, the master of Tian Cang Palace, were on good terms and naturally had means of communication between them.

He wasn't bound by any natal oath, so he had to go to the Heavenly Azure Palace to send a message and ask Daoist Da Mo for help, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Go on." Daoist Da Mo was very familiar with the Heavenly Cang Palace, and he was even a close friend of Daoist Tian Yi.

Within the Heavenly Cang Palace, all cultivators are brothers. Even news of a World God of the Heavenly Cang Palace can attract the attention of Daoist Da Mo.

"Before that world god died, he asked me to help send a message to the Heavenly Palace."

Lei Zhan looked at Daojun Damo and said, "Please tell Tiancang Palace for me that 'the World God of Beixiu was killed by the Three Divine Beasts of the Black Dragon.'"
