Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Zhulong spoke, his voice still indifferent, but with a fainter fluctuation than before.

"You certainly know how to talk."

"But reason is reason, and rules are rules."

"The rules set by the Great Dao cannot be defied even by those at the peak of the Primordial Taiji realm."

"Breaking the seal means breaking the rules."

"Rules must not be broken."

As soon as the voice fell, the oppressive aura intensified.

Xuan Du stood still, his body motionless.

The Chaos Pearl hung above his head, and forty-nine Chaos Restrictions lit up simultaneously, transforming into a chaotic light curtain that firmly protected his body.

He gazed at Zhulong, his voice remaining calm.

"So, what do you intend to do, fellow Daoist?"

Zhulong stared at him with his crimson-gold eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Xuandu thought he would actually take action directly.

After a moment, Zhulong spoke.

"You broke the seal, and the Great Dao has indeed issued a decree."

"But the decree did not order execution."

"It's to bring it back."

"The Great Dao wants to see you."

"I want to see the person who broke the seal of Pangu."

As the sound faded, the void fell silent.

Yang Mei stood tens of thousands of feet away, her bright eyes suddenly freezing.

Shi Chen's entire body trembled suddenly with silver light.

Xuan Du stood still, his brows slowly furrowing.

The Great Way?

Want to see him?

Xuandu remained silent for a moment.

The silence was brief, but within that short silence, his thoughts raced.

After a moment, he spoke.

"it is good."

"I'll go see him."

He turned his head and looked at the two figures tens of thousands of feet behind him.

Yang Mei stood in the void, her gray-blue Taoist robe billowing slightly in the wind, her bright eyes gazing at him, their light flickering uncertainly.

Shi Chen stood beside him, a faint silver light surging in the depths of his turbid eyes. He did not speak, but that silence itself was a statement.

Xuan Du spoke, his voice calm.

"You should return to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain first."

"I'll be right back."

Yang Mei's body trembled slightly upon hearing this.

His bright eyes gazed at Xuan Du, his voice low and deep.

"Are you going alone?"

"That is the unknown place where the Great Dao resides."

"Are you really going alone?"

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm as still water.

"If the Great Dao wants to kill me, it doesn't need to make me go to see it."

"All he needs is an imperial decree to get Zhulong to take action."

"Since he wants to see me, it means he doesn't intend to kill me for the time being."

"If I don't go, it will only give them a reason to make a move."

Yang Mei remained silent.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at that young yet composed face, at those calm yet resolute eyes.

In the billion-dollar gathering, he had met countless cultivators.

But I have never seen anyone so composed when faced with the summons of the Great Dao.

He spoke, his voice carrying a solemnity that suggested hundreds of millions of yuan were about to be deposited.

"Then be careful."

"If you don't come back, I will destroy that celestial realm to bring you back."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's lips slowly curled into a smile.

"it is good."

He turned around and looked at Zhulong.

The enormous crimson figure still hovered in the void, its dark golden scales glowing faintly in the chaotic energy.

Those crimson-gold eyes stared at him, their gaze carrying a kind of indifference that seemed to have settled into a billion-dollar sum, yet it held less of the killing intent that had been there before.

"Let's go."

After uttering those two words, Zhulong remained silent.

He turned and slowly walked towards the surging chaotic energy in the west.

The enormous figure was like a moving mountain, and wherever it passed, the chaotic energy automatically parted, as if even heaven and earth were making way for it.

Xuan Du followed closely behind, his green robes billowing, the light of the Chaos Pearl flowing endlessly around him.

Two figures, one in front of the other, slowly walked towards the depths of that chaotic expanse.

Yang Mei and Shi Chen stood in the void, watching the departing figure, motionless for a long time.

Xuandu walked behind the enormous crimson figure, sensing the profound and abyss-like aura emanating from the Candle Dragon.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

Only chaotic energy swept past beneath my feet, and only the cracks in the void slowly healed behind me.

I don't know how long we've been traveling.

Xuan Du gazed at the crimson figure ahead and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, there is something I don't understand."

Zhulong did not turn around.

His indifferent voice came from ahead, like muffled thunder.

"speak."

Xuan Du said, "I have sensed your aura, and according to my calculations, it will take you at least three days to reach the edge of that secret realm."

"But in fact, it seems that you were already nearby."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to arrive in such a short time."

"This means... Fellow Daoist has been waiting nearby for some time."

"Fellow Daoist, you already knew I was coming?"

As the sound faded, a brief silence fell over the void.

The enormous figure of the Candle Dragon paused slightly.

Those crimson-gold eyes turned slightly to the side, landing on the figure in green.

A very faint flicker of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"You are indeed perceptive."

"Yes, I was already nearby."

"It wasn't a coincidence; we arrived early."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Did you arrive early?"

"How did you know I was here, fellow Daoist?"

Zhulong remained silent for a moment.

He then spoke, his voice still indifferent, but with a fainter undertone than before.

"I have men patrolling the chaos."

"They record any existence at the Hunyuan Taiji level that enters an unfamiliar area."

"I received a message a few days ago."

"It is said that a figure in green robes, carrying a sword intent, ventured deep into the chaos from the west of the Xuanji Heaven Domain."

"That figure's aura was as deep and profound as an abyss, and his cultivation was unfathomable. He was at least at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Taiji realm."

"That sword intent was even more fierce and unparalleled, like an invisible blade slicing through the sky."

"My men dared not approach; they only observed from a distance for a moment before retreating."

"But that message was enough to make me take notice."

Zhulong paused, then looked ahead again with his crimson-gold eyes.

"The area west of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain has always been a forbidden zone for those Hunyuan Taiji beings."

"Few people venture deep into that area."

"Because that is one of the places where the power of the Great Dao is most concentrated."

"If a being at the Hunyuan Taiji level steps into it, it is highly likely to trigger some kind of restriction left by the Great Dao."

"That's why I arrived early."

"It's not to kill you."

"It's to see who's so audacious."

Xuan Du fell silent upon hearing this.

As he listened to Zhulong's words, his thoughts slowly began to turn.

A few days ago.

A figure in green robes, carrying a sword intent, ventured deep into the chaos from the west of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain.

That figure in blue was, of course, him.

That sword intent naturally came from the void.

When he left the Xuanji Heavenly Domain to find Yang Mei, he did indeed take Taixu to Guixu.

But Taixu later returned to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, while he took Yang Mei and Shichen to the secret realm.

After the patrolman encountered him, he sent a message to Zhulong.

Zhulong received the message and arrived ahead of time.

Then it just so happened that he broke the seal of Pangu.

All of this together forms a chain, with each link interlocking with the next.

Xuan Du spoke, his voice calm.

"Was that message sent from the far north of the Heavenly Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong's crimson-gold eyes flickered slightly.

"You know?"
