Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 199 A Heart of Reverence

When Taihao heard that the Heavenly Dao wanted to follow him, he was in a panic. His understanding of the Canglan Continent was limited to what Chen Pi had told him. He didn't know what he would encounter on his journey. Although he had the Taihao Realm within him, he was worried that if the Heavenly Dao suffered any damage, it would affect the Taihao Realm and in turn affect him.

Taihao knew that he couldn't change what Tianxuan had decided, so he could only agree and try to find a way to get him into the Taihao Realm along the way.

The Canglan Continent is not like the lower realm. He wouldn't be so foolish as to believe that the information he got from a small gang leader with the strength of a second-level God King was all there was to the Canglan Continent.

"In that case, let's set off now!" Taihao said, glancing at Tianxuan.

Tianxuan did not answer, but stood up. Then the two walked out of the main hall and out of the courtyard. Taihao was not sure where to go for a moment. Suddenly, Taihao remembered that Chenpi had told him the location of the Ziyang Sect. Then Taihao led Tianxuan directly towards the Ziyang Sect.

The two walked towards the Ziyang Sect. The streets were bustling with people, but their strength was only at the first or second level of the Divine Lord realm. The headquarters of the Qinglang Gang was far from the Ziyang Sect. Taihao and Tianxuan walked for a long time before they arrived at the foot of a majestic mountain.

The towering peaks stretched as far as the eye could see, and even Taihao's divine soul power could not perceive the entirety of the mountain. Tianxuan stood there, looking around, and then excitedly said to Taihao, "Taihao, we must enter the Ziyang Sect. A great opportunity awaits me here."

Taihao looked at the excited Tianxuan with suspicion, wondering what the great opportunity Tianxuan was talking about was. He hadn't sensed anything here, and he hadn't even discovered the gate of the Ziyang Sect.

"What did you sense? Why didn't I sense anything?" Taihao looked at Tianxuan and said.

"Do you know how our Heavenly Dao increases its strength?" Tianxuan didn't answer Taihao, but instead asked him in return.

"Won't your strength increase along with the world level?" Taihao had studied the methods for increasing the strength of the Heavenly Dao, so he answered directly.

"That was before. We could only break through to the Great Dao Realm you mentioned. But to break through to a higher level, we had to constantly refine the power of origin. Here, I sensed a very rich and pure power of the universe's origin. So we must enter the Ziyang Sect and obtain the power of origin. This way, the Taihao Realm will also benefit greatly." Tianxuan was afraid that Taihao would not want to go, so he directly said that it would also benefit the Taihao Realm.

"Alright, then let's go to the Ziyang Sect." After hearing Tianxuan's words, Taihao agreed without hesitation. Anyway, he didn't know where to go. Since the Ziyang Sect had something that Tianxuan needed, he might as well go there. Maybe he would gain something unexpected.

Tianxuan was surprised that Taihao agreed so quickly this time. In the past, no matter what he proposed, Taihao would hesitate and make excuses. He had never been so straightforward before. However, he soon stopped thinking about it. After all, he and Taihao were now in the same boat. They would share the same fate.

The two decided to join the Ziyang Sect, but they had not yet found the entrance. Taihao suddenly wondered if the Ziyang Sect might have built its sect on a mountaintop.

Thinking of this, Taihao immediately took flight and ascended to a higher point on the mountain. When Tianxuan saw Taihao take flight, he followed him and flew up as well.

As the two flew higher and higher, Tianxuan did not notice anything, but Taihao felt an invisible force spreading across the mountain. Taihao suddenly had a thought: Could it be that someone had discovered him?

"Fall down!" Taihao said to Tianxuan beside him. Tianxuan didn't know why Taihao suddenly wanted to fall down, but this was, after all, the main base of the Ziyang Sect. He felt that he should listen to Taihao. Then the two of them landed on a protruding boulder.

Taihao released his divine soul power, enveloping the entire mountain peak, but he could not sense the existence of that power. It was as if there was no power at all. However, Taihao had no doubt about his senses while flying, and he felt that there was something unusual about this place.

It was as if a pair of eyes were watching him and Tianxuan. Taihao couldn't sense anything amiss with his own power. In the end, he directly used the power of the Taihao Realm. After using the power of the Taihao Realm, Taihao's spiritual power and perception increased by more than double.

He gradually sensed every flower, grass, and tree on the mountain peak. Suddenly, an old man appeared in his spiritual perception. The old man had silver hair and a snow-white beard, giving people the feeling of a highly accomplished master. Even Taihao felt a sense of awe towards this man.

The old man was very fast. Taihao had just spotted him when the old man was already standing in front of him. The old man looked kind and gentle, and exuded a faint aura of power.

"Little ones, you're from the lower realm?" Although the old man asked in a questioning tone, the confident look in his eyes already confirmed it.

Taihao looked at the old man without saying a word, but the energy in his body had already begun to circulate, ready to run away at any time, because he knew he couldn't beat the old man.

The old man sensed the surging energy emanating from Taihao, smiled slightly, and said, "Young friend, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just inquiring about some things in the lower realm; I won't make things difficult for you..."

Even after listening to the old man's words, Taihao remained vigilant, while Tianxuan was also on high alert, ready to enter the Taihao Realm at any moment.

"The one beside you must be the Heavenly Dao of a world. I happen to have something you need. If you tell me what I want to know, I will give it to you. What do you think?" The old man saw Taihao and Tianxuan's actions and stopped worrying about it. He spoke slowly.

Suddenly, a dark black stone appeared in the old man's hand. Taihao sensed a strong power of rules emanating from it, and Tianxuan's eyes lit up the moment he saw the dark black stone in the old man's hand.

Taihao could also see that the old man truly meant them no harm. He then looked at the old man and slowly said, "I wonder what you wish to ask, senior? The lower realm is vast, and I may not know the answer."

Upon hearing that Taihao was willing to answer him, the old man tossed the dark stone in his hand to Tianxuan and then asked, "Do you know the title of the Emperor?"

Upon hearing the name the old man uttered, Taihao was startled. How could Emperor Taihao not know it? It was the most powerful ancestor in the Ancestral Hall, and Emperor Taihao's name was known to everyone in the lower realm who could walk in the void.

Taihao had just arrived in the top-tier world, and the destruction of the Ancestral Palace was closely related to the forces within it. Taihao dared not speak carelessly; if he encountered enemies of the Ancestral Palace, he wouldn't be able to escape with his current God-King level strength. There was no way to leave this place for the lower realms. Only those who broke through their strength and came from the lower realms could descend after reaching the peak of God-Emperor level, and even then, it could only happen once every tens of millions of years.
