Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 15 The heavens suffer a calamity, all ancestors perish, shocking all cultivators; the true culprit remains elusive.

Upon seeing the disturbing cultivators, they exchanged glances, all puzzled: "Dong Wanggong, what's wrong with you?"

Indeed, the cultivator who stood up this time, his expression shifting, was none other than the legendary Eastern King Duke.

Di Qing had known Dong Wanggong before, and upon seeing him, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong, what brings you here...?"

The Eastern King Duke's solemn expression carried a hint of uncertainty: "Immortal Ancestor Di Qing, Ancestor Hong Wu, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that I sensed the mark my master gave me was shattered. This shattered mark means my master is in danger. He might even have perished, so..."

"What? Ancestor Cangqiong is in danger? How is that possible?" Before Di Qing could even express his doubts, Ancestor Hongwu exclaimed in a low voice.

Back then, many patriarchs preached and accepted disciples, and the Azure Sky Patriarch accepted the Eastern King Duke. The Azure Sky Patriarch was also among the top-ranking patriarchs. How could such a powerful cultivator have perished so inexplicably?

Let alone Ancestor Hongwu's doubts, any other ancestor would have doubts.

The Eastern King Duke looked tense: "I can't believe my master has perished either. But what about this mark? Right, my master once said that the sky within the Azure Sky Dojo was evolved from his own Great Dao. As long as he lives, as long as his Great Dao remains, the sky will never be destroyed. I need to go back and see."

Having said this, the Eastern King was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, Di Qing also became curious: "Why don't we go together? I also want to know whether Ancestor Cang Qiong is alive or dead."

"I'll go too!" said Master Hongwu.

"Alright!" Dong Wanggong didn't waste any more words and left immediately.

Immediately, Di Qing followed, and the other cultivators also came, creating a grand spectacle throughout Kunlun.

After a long time, they arrived at Kunlun.

This place is the Daoist temple of the Azure Sky Ancestor. The Eastern King Duke used his wonderful technique to instantly activate the enveloping array, and then couldn't wait to fly into it.

But as soon as he flew into it, Dongwanggong was completely dumbfounded, his eyes filled with a mournful cry and a sense of desolation. He muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible!"

But then, within the Daoist temple of the Azure Sky Ancestor, the vast sky itself shattered. This sky was formed by the Azure Sky Ancestor through his own cultivated Dao. Now, the sky was broken, disintegrating into countless fragments. This clearly signified the Azure Sky Ancestor's demise.

Upon seeing the truth, both Di Qing and Hongwu Ancestor felt that they were in big trouble.

It's unbelievable that a powerful ancestor like the one who reached the pinnacle of cultivation could perish so silently. Given the strength of all beings in the primordial world today, especially these numerous ancestors who stand at the pinnacle of cultivation, their demise would undoubtedly require paying an immense price.

Consider the fall of the Qilin Ancestor, who took countless scaled cultivators with him. Consider the battle between Emperor Qing and the Phoenix Ancestor, a war that lasted for billions of years, yet the outcome remained uncertain. Moreover, in such a great battle, if anyone wanted to escape, they were simply unstoppable.

But now, the Celestial Ancestor, such a powerful being, has actually fallen. Without a great battle spanning billions of years, without causing any magnificent roar, he simply perished quietly.

To achieve this result, the opponent's strength would have to far surpass that of the Azure Sky Ancestor. With absolute power...

Only by crushing the Celestial Ancestor and rendering him unable to resist could such an outcome be achieved.

Secondly, what if the Celestial Ancestor encountered some ancient ruin, facing a crisis that couldn't be instantly killed? But does such a crisis truly exist in the primordial world?

The thought of a hidden force lurking in the shadows of the primordial world, capable of slaughtering them and leaving them powerless to resist, sent chills down the spines of both Ancestor Hongwu and the other cultivators.

Thinking of this, Di Qing and Ancestor Hongwu exchanged a glance, and then Ancestor Hongwu said, "Young friend Di Qing, the fall of Fellow Daoist Cang Qiong is no small matter. Therefore, our discussion is suspended, and I need to find other fellow Daoists to discuss this matter."

"Of course. In this situation, not to mention you, even I would do the same. I also want to hear what the other elders think about this matter."

Di Qing was also somewhat expectant, wanting to know the secrets behind this matter.

Upon seeing this, Ancestor Hongwu nodded and said, "Good!"

Subsequently, Ancestor Hongwu transmitted his voice, instructing his disciples to deliver the invitations. The disciples of the various patriarchs, upon learning of this, also transmitted their messages to their respective masters.

Many years later, many of Kunlun's patriarchs gathered together.

When they arrived, they already knew the truth, the fact that the Celestial Ancestor had perished.

"Fellow Daoists, you should all know about the passing of Ancestor Cangqiong and Ancestor Yaoguang, right?" Ancestor Hongwu's deep, hoarse voice conveyed an indescribable emotion.

"We all know this news. But when I came here, I contacted some familiar fellow Daoists and found that several of them had also disappeared without a trace, and I couldn't contact them no matter what. The only reason for this situation is that they have perished." The Kongtong Ancestor stood up, his eyes filled with a sense of panic.

"I've also lost contact with quite a few fellow Daoists. I was puzzled before, but now it seems they've all perished," another ancestor murmured.

Immediately, the many elders exchanged glances and contacted their fellow Daoists. After making these contacts, they looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

After calming down for a long time, Ancestor Hongjun finally spoke (Nuo Nuo Zhao): "Based on the information we have now, it is not only Fellow Daoist Cangqiong and Fellow Daoist Yaoguang who have perished this time, but also Fellow Daoist Cangmang, Fellow Daoist Jinlian..."

Hongjun rattled off a string of Daoist titles for the ancestors, totaling dozens, almost a hundred.

When this news was revealed, not only the numerous cultivators, but even the many patriarchs gasped in shock. Upon learning this, Di Qing also became grave.

What's going on? Why have so many ancestors suddenly perished? If it were just one or two, it could be considered an accident. But so many have fallen, clearly indicating some conspiracy within the primordial world targeting these ancestors.

The innocent deaths of many patriarchs, and their silent demise, terrified many patriarchal cultivators.

Even ants cherish life, let alone these ancient ancestors who seek the Dao.

No matter how one pursues the Great Dao, the first priority must be ensuring one's own survival. Faced with situations that could endanger their lives, many patriarchs became cautious.

"Who on earth is it that secretly caused the deaths of so many fellow cultivators without our knowledge?" The Kongtong Ancestor said gravely.

"Judging from the current situation of the fallen fellow cultivators, they all perished after leaving the Kunlun Land. Obviously, our Kunlun Land is safe. But in the present prehistoric world, there are really not many cultivators who can kill these ancestors silently." Yin Yang Ancestor said, glancing casually at where Di Qing was, and also at Hongjun Ancestor and the others.

Clearly, in the present prehistoric world, only a few powerful beings, such as the Witch Clan and the Ancestral Dragon, are qualified to kill these ancestors.
