The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Was the World God of Beixiu killed by the three divine beasts, Wujiao?"

Daoist Da Mo nodded and said, "I will pass this message on to Daoist Tianyi, the Palace Master of Tiancang Palace."

"Palace Master, Heavenly Dao Lord?" Lei Zhan nodded.

As long as this message can be delivered to the Heavenly Palace, the cause and effect formed with the Northern Xiu World God can be considered to have come to an end.

As for whether Daoist Da Mo will pass on this message in time, it is not actually a matter of great urgency.

As long as the other party agrees, the renowned Dao Lords of Life and Death in this endless territory will always find various means to make contact.

Moreover, at least half a Chaos Era has passed since the Northern World God was besieged and killed by the three Black Dragon Divine Beasts. And those three Black Dragon Divine Beasts are still alive and well.

moment.

Just as Lei Zhan was drinking and pondering, Daoist Da Mo revealed a smile: "The news has been sent out. Daoist Tianyi already knows about Bei Xiu's death and instructed me to treat you well."

"This..." Lei Zhan shook his head and smiled, "Daojun's willingness to help this time is already the best hospitality. Now that the news has been spread, it can be considered that I have put my mind at ease."

"It's nothing," Da Mo Daojun laughed. "Passing on a message not only makes me on good terms with you, but also earns me a small favor from Tianyi Daojun. In the end, I'm the one who gains."

They talked for a while, exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao. Of course, Lei Zhan's understanding of the Dao was far inferior to that of Daoist Da Mo.

Most of the talking was done by Daoist Da Mo, while Lei Zhan listened silently.

One was eager to befriend the other, and the other possessed extraordinary talent; naturally, they hit it off immediately.

Although Daoist Da Mo follows the path of deduction, his achievements in this field are extremely high.

At this level, one understands all methods. This discussion, though not exactly guidance, gave Lei Zhan many insights into the Dao of time and space.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

"You've come to my place, but you don't have a place to stay yet, do you?"

Daoist Da Mo picked up the wine pot and slowly sipped his wine. He looked at Lei Zhan and said, "The Treasure Competition will be more than ninety years away. If you can't find a place to stay, you might as well stay at my Da Mo Courtyard for a while. During this time, you can come to me if you need anything."

"Huh? Living in the Great Mo Courtyard?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, then smiled.

"Then I will trouble you, Daoist Master."

The words of the Great Dao Lord were quite respectful, and Lei Zhan was certainly not one to be tactless.

If you need anything, feel free to seek out Daoist Da Mo. It should be noted that even the personal disciples Daoist Da Mo usually receives don't necessarily enjoy such treatment.

“It’s alright.” Daoist Da Mo waved his hand. “The ‘Shui Lian Ju’ not far from here is currently unoccupied. You and your servant can live there directly.”

"Alright." Lei Zhan nodded. "Then I'll take my leave."

With that, Lei Zhan quickly left the courtyard.

The Great Daoist Master sat cross-legged and watched Lei Zhan leave, his gaze lingering.

Just then, a beautiful woman came out of the thatched hut, came to the long wooden table, and sat down.

"Husband," the beautiful woman said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you so attentive to a world god. When you were teaching the Dragon-Binding ones, you never told them to come whenever they needed to."

Not only that, but even the water and dwelling places were reserved for that unified world god to reside in.

It should be noted that Dao Lord Da Mo is now a third-step Dao Lord. At this level, it takes time to cultivate and improve one's strength.

Making such a promise to the opponent is not a casual instruction, but requires a lot of effort.

At least, she hadn't seen her husband treat other cultivators like this in a long time.

“This Lei Zhan is no ordinary world god.” Daoist Da Mo shook his head. “During our discussion just now, I could sense that he has great ambitions. Even though he has already comprehended two of the strongest Daos, he still seems unsatisfied.”

His path gives me a sense of its all-encompassing nature. He will likely be incredibly brilliant in the future; perhaps one day I will even need his help.

A strange look appeared in Da Mo Daojun's eyes. Although the discussion had been brief, it had allowed him to glean quite a bit of insight.
"Even her husband has to ask him for help?" The beautiful woman was stunned, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.

Firstly, the strength of Daoist Da Mo is also extremely high, not much different from some of the top-level four-step Daoists.

Secondly, given Da Mo's expertise in calculation and strategy, he usually avoids danger early on. He rarely needs to ask other powerful beings for help.

"Yan'er, don't disbelieve me." Daoist Da Mo looked at his Daoist partner who had been with him for countless years and said with a smile, "It probably won't be long before he breaks through to the Daoist Lord of Life and Death, and he will rise like a shooting star."

After all... even just that glimpse of the future I saw was already incredibly astonishing.

……

The Waterside Residence of Da Mo Yuan covers an area of ​​over a hundred miles. It is elegant and quiet, and is the premier place in Da Mo Yuan specifically for guests to stay.

Shui Lianju.

The gardens, halls, and studies were all buildings floating on the water, connected by floating wooden bridges. The world gods of Su Qi walked on these bridges one after the other.

“Master, I never expected that we would be able to stay in the Water Link Residence of the Great Mo Courtyard.” World God Su Qi exclaimed. “It is said that the Water Link Residence is reserved for the most important guests of the Great Mo Dao Lord.”

When the God of the Bound Dragon World learned that his master had been arranged by Daoist Da Mo to live in the Waterside Residence, he nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets.

“It’s just a place to stay.” Lei Zhan shook his head and said, “No matter where you stay, it’s just a place to rest. But this place is indeed very quiet and elegant, which suits my taste quite well.”

The entire enormous hall floated on the water, and Lei Zhan arrived directly in front of it.

"Su Qi." Lei Zhan looked at Su Qi and instructed him, "I will be in seclusion in Shui Lian Ju for the next period of time. You, Wu Ming, Yi Feng and the others will stay in Da Mo Yuan and gather as much information as possible about the Treasure Competition during this time."

"Yes," World God Su Qi replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, two figures appeared out of thin air on the water.

Lei Zhan glanced at the three servants, then went directly into the hall. His discussion with Daoist Da Mo had given him many insights into the Dao of Time and Space, and he had even vaguely sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough in the Instantaneous Shadow Style.

He has always focused on his own cultivation. Although there are many inheritances that are attractive, the effect is amazing when someone gives him a hint at a crucial moment.

"What is spacetime? In essence, it is the perfect combination of time and space, which forms spacetime. It forms a complete and independent Dao."

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged in the main hall, pondering silently.

"However, although the Way of Time and Space is independent and complete, it is still closely related to the Way of Time and the Way of Space."

“From the time immemorial, when the entire chaotic universe was formed, time and space came into existence. The chaotic universe also formed a complete origin of time and space.”

"And spacetime is the product of the combination of the two."

Enlightenment, enlightenment, in essence, is about understanding the origin, the origin of the universe, and the essence of the Dao of space and time.

Lei Zhan's current level, however, has reached the point of transcending the original source of enlightenment; what he needs to do is to forge his own path.

Among the five styles of time and space, the Thousand Realms Style and the Reincarnation Style are the paths that Lei Zhan has taken.

“Shadow Strike…” Lei Zhan frowned in thought, sensing that mysterious feeling, but gently closed his eyes.

……

Years passed, but Lei Zhan's days at the Great Moyuan were quite relaxed and leisurely.

He comprehended the secrets of time and space, studied the time and space inheritance in his hands, and delved into the Nine Origins Void Secret Techniques obtained from the Pantheon.

During this time, Lei Zhan also asked Daoist Da Mo for help in purchasing the nine kinds of chaotic void energy needed for cultivating the Nine Origins Void Secret Technique. At the same time, he also asked Daoist Da Mo to help him find two other kinds of Dao void energy.

Excluding the seven types of ethereal energy within the Qianyi Void Realm, the remaining two types are actually of medium value among the nine types of ethereal energy, and Lei Zhan doesn't expect to be able to buy them now.

After all, these two kinds of Dao Qi alone are worth nearly three million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

Three years, five years, ten years...

Time passed slowly, and the start of the treasure competition drew closer. Lei Zhan lived a life of quiet cultivation, and his Instant Shadow Style, one of the Five Styles of Time and Space, naturally broke through to the strongest level.

……

The garden of Shui Lian Ju is absolutely beautiful, planted with many very rare and precious flowers and plants, and this garden is also floating on the water.

“Master.” The Winged Wind World God walked into the garden, looked at Lei Zhan who was drinking alone in the garden, and bowed respectfully.

"Sit down," Lei Zhan said, glancing at the Winged Wind World God.

"Yes." Wingwind World God sat respectfully opposite Lei Zhan.

Although he initially chose to submit due to Lei Zhan's terrifying strength and the threat of death, he actually harbored a great deal of resentment at the time.

But after arriving at the Great Mo Academy, he learned that even the Great Mo Daojun, who was extremely famous in the Endless Territory, valued him, his master, and his mindset changed considerably without him even realizing it.

After all, being within the Great Mo Academy, the arrogant Great Mo Academy disciples around them were able to befriend them with great respect.

Besides their own strength, their special master also played a crucial role in this success.

"What is it?" Lei Zhan looked at the Winged Wind World God.

"Master, I want to break through to the Life and Death Dao Lord level after this treasure competition," said the Winged Wind World God.

"Breakthrough to Dao Lord?" Lei Zhan frowned. "You few, with your understanding of the Dao, can indeed break through to the Life and Death Dao Lord level at any time, but have you thought it through?"

"You must know that there is a great difference between a Lord and a Dao Lord. Once you break through to become a Dao Lord of Life and Death, your own Dao is completely set and cannot be changed."

The Dao of the Lord of Life and Death is like building a palace. Some cultivators can only lay the foundation for a thatched hut, while others can lay the foundation for a palace.

Both are Dao Lords of Life and Death, but Dao Lords with very weak Dao can be easily killed by some monstrous World Gods.

However, Dao Lords with powerful Dao can fight beyond their level; a Dao Lord at the first step can rival a Dao Lord at the second or even third step...

Lei Zhan looked at the Winged Wind World God in front of him, but was very puzzled.

With the talent of the Winged Wind World God, if he were to break through now, he would only be slightly stronger than an ordinary Dao Lord, and at most, he would be barely comparable to a typical second-step Dao Lord.

However, achieving the ability to fight beyond one's level, such as a First-Step Dao Lord being able to rival a Second-Step Dao Lord, is extremely difficult.

Unless one possesses an extraordinary treasure or secret technique, their own potential is already completely fixed.

In fact, if he had waited until he had accumulated enough experience or obtained a good array technique, Lei Zhan would have had a good chance to guide his servants to the strongest path.

After all, the stronger the servants under one's command, the greater the benefit to Lei Zhan.

Even if one cannot ultimately reach the strongest path, one should at least be able to fight against opponents of higher levels.

“Master, I know all that you’ve said, but…” World God Yifeng hesitated, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

Lei Zhan watched quietly. He had long sensed that his servant harbored a great secret, and now…

"Am I finally going to reveal my secret?" Lei Zhan thought to himself.

He pondered for a long time.

"Master," World God Wingwind gritted his teeth and said, "I still want to break through."

"I want revenge. I'm afraid that if I don't take revenge now, it will be difficult to kill my enemy with my own hands in the future!"
