If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?.

Chapter 82 Heaven's Obstacles, Yet Another Reward!

Ao Bai was originally quite pleased with himself, believing that he could "infiltrate" Zixiao Palace.

But now that Sanqing has left ahead of schedule, his confidence has plummeted.

The will of Heaven is omnipresent; even if it wasn't deliberately targeting him, it was enough to prevent his plans from being implemented.

Entering the Purple Cloud Palace has both advantages and disadvantages, and Ao Bai had already considered them very clearly.

If you listen to the teachings of Tao, you will become a disciple of the lineage of Hongjun Daozu, and your own fortune will be blessed by Hongjun Daozu.

Ao Bai was not opposed to this. By being marked with the "mark" of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he would be considered a member of the Dao Ancestor's lineage, and he could receive some blessings from the Dao Ancestor.

This whole affair has been justified; I haven't lost out.

Another point is that the Daoist teachings of Hongjun Daozu will be of great help to Ao Bai and his son. As for the drawbacks of the Three Corpses Method, Ao Bai had already guessed them. If he were to actually follow the Three Corpses Method, he would choose to avoid it in advance.

In Ao Bai's plan, he would not only avoid it, but also do it even more perfectly, making the Three Corpses Technique his stepping stone for the future.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you can thoroughly understand the Three Corpses Dao.

What Ao Bai is worried about right now is whether he and the Old Dragon King will be able to get to the Zixiao Palace.

Zixiao Palace is not a place that just anyone is qualified to visit.

"boom!"

Amidst the chaos, turbulent currents surged, and the forces of earth, water, fire, and wind raged in all directions.

There is no up or down, left or right, no north or south, east or west. Even time and space are upside down and disordered. There is absolutely no order to speak of.

Ao Bai was no longer able to act alone and could only rely on Ao Feng's protection.

Fortunately, Ao Feng was already a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator, and he also possessed the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Six Dragons Mountain-Chasing Whip.

He led Ao Bai into the chaos without any apparent pressure.

Ao Feng used his supernatural powers to create a curtain of water that protected the father and son from the turbulent currents outside.

"My son, you may cultivate within this water curtain. I will continue onward to find the Purple Cloud Palace."

Ao Feng, with Ao Bai by his side, journeyed through the vast chaos.

In such an environment, Ao Bai wouldn't be of much use; instead, it would be more worthwhile for him to go into seclusion and cultivate.

"Father, please be careful. In this chaos, there is no distinction between east, west, south, and north, and there may be many dangers."

After Ao Bai gave him some pointers, he hid himself inside the Sumeru Ring and began his secluded cultivation.

In chaos, time is disordered, making it impossible to calculate specific things. Once lost in chaos, it is very difficult to find a way back, which is one of the dangers of chaos.

Ao Bai practiced the "Nine Transformations True Dragon Technique," while Ao Feng flew swiftly through the chaos.

The fierce gale could not harm him in the slightest; his powerful dragon body was invincible.

He can traverse any direction, covering thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, the chaos was boundless, and Ao Feng had been traveling here for thousands of years without gaining anything, not even the surrounding environment had changed in the slightest.

Everywhere was chaotic and turbulent, filled with darkness and disorder, unchanging, lifeless and tedious.

The enormous noise and the collision of the forces of earth, water, fire, and wind are happening all the time.

In the distant Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat high on his cloud bed, looking down at the mirror image before him, which showed the scene of living beings rushing to Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun Daozu's attention was mainly focused on the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and others. These were all chosen ones and the key figures in Hongjun's sermons.

It can be said that the three lectures at Zixiao Palace were specifically for the six disciples of the Xuanmen sect, including the Three Pure Ones.

As for the other living beings, they are merely "chess pieces" used by Hongjun Daozu to gather the primordial fortune.

Unbeknownst to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ao Feng and his son were also rushing towards Zixiao Palace from a corner.

Now, a large number of primordial beings have entered the chaos. They are like stars, moving forward in the darkness and flying away in the chaos.

Ao Bai was so engrossed in his cultivation that he was unaware of the passage of time.

Three thousand years had passed outside. Three thousand years of non-stop flight would have caused an ordinary being to become agitated and mentally exhausted.

But Ao Feng remained as steady as Mount Tai and continued to fly forward.

Another three thousand years passed, and suddenly Ao Feng's eyes lit up!

His divine sense detected that many living beings were gathering ahead, which meant he had encountered other beings heading to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Ao Feng's face lit up with joy. He quickly stepped forward, and soon the scene before him changed again.

In the chaotic and dark depths, a dazzling light shone in all directions, making the entire space incredibly bright.

Ao Feng accelerated his flight and finally saw the scene before him clearly.

It was like a dazzling galaxy, stretching across the chaos, blocking all paths from all directions.

The light was emanating from that galaxy, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not a galaxy at all, but rather a constantly rotating ball of fire!

These fireballs, as dazzling as stars, swirled and danced in one spot, endlessly repeating.

There were not only fireballs, but also whirlwinds, water currents, and dust.

"Earth, water, fire, and wind—this time they're all there."

Ao Feng stepped forward and examined the place carefully. He found it to be extremely dangerous, blocking the path of many cultivators.

This rotating element of earth, water, fire, and wind occupies a huge area; trying to go around it would probably be counterproductive.

Ao Bai was also drawn by the commotion outside. He woke up from his seclusion and appeared beside Ao Feng.

With the water curtain protecting him, Ao Bai is very safe.

"This... must be a test from Heaven for us?"

After Ao Bai understood the situation, he immediately communicated with the Old Dragon King via telepathy.

"These cultivators are waiting here, there must be great danger here. Let's check the situation first."

Ao Feng and the others could see it, and the other cultivators naturally understood as well.

Most of the creatures that can come here are quite powerful.

Ao Feng saw many powerful figures among them, such as the Thunder God, the Lord of Thunder Marsh, the Kunpeng, the Lord of the Northern Sea, and the Styx, the Lord of the Blood Sea.

These are all powerful beings from the primordial world, and they are all trapped here at this moment.

Faced with that constantly rotating force of earth, water, fire, and wind, no one dared to step forward and test it.

There is great danger there; if an accident occurs, it could very well cost you your life.

"These monks are probably observing the patterns within it."

Ao Bai looked at the powerful figures around him. He couldn't see anything himself, but the Great Luo Golden Immortals were all staring intently at the vortex in front of them, clearly observing the situation.

As time passed, more and more creatures gathered around.

At this moment, Ao Feng also began to observe the situation in the whirlpool, trying to find a way to pass through.

You should know that there are time limits for lectures at Zixiao Palace. If you can't get through here, you probably won't be able to reach Zixiao Palace.

This is unacceptable to the monks here.

"It seems that the test of Heaven is not simple. It has stumped so many powerful people. It is really not easy to enter Zixiao Palace."

Ao Bai sighed, realizing that if it weren't for the protection of the old Dragon King, he probably would never have had the chance to set foot in Zixiao Palace, which made him extremely grateful to his father.

Just then, several cultivators in front suddenly stood up.

They seemed to have arrived earlier and had been observing the area for quite some time.

"Gentlemen, I'll be going now!"

A dignified and imposing monk stood up and bowed to his companion beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Kuangfeng, please wait. Several fellow Daoists who ventured deep into the Heavenly Abyss were all killed within. Have you discovered some kind of pattern?"

The fellow Daoist beside him stopped him. This person was clever. If this fellow Daoist Kuangfeng found the pattern and shared it with him, he would have a better chance of success.

"Fellow Daoist Zidian, I haven't found any pattern, but if we continue like this, I'm afraid we'll miss the Zixiao Palace's lecture. So I'm going to take a gamble!"

Daoist Kuangfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had been here for over three thousand years and hadn't been able to see any flaws. However, he did understand one thing: since it was a test from the Dao Ancestor, they had to show their sincerity.

Without the determination to face death and the unwavering will, one is probably not qualified to reach Zixiao Palace, nor to listen to the method of enlightenment.

"Since you don't have a foolproof solution, why not wait a little longer? There's still some time before the lecture at Zixiao Palace begins. If we all work together to deduce the solution, we might be able to find a way to break it."

The Purple Lightning Daoist spoke again, seemingly quite wary of the Heavenly Abyss and unwilling to attempt it lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Zidian is right. There is great danger in the Heavenly Abyss. We have all witnessed it with our own eyes. Several Grand Luo Golden Immortals have perished there, and even their primordial spirits could not escape. What a pity!"

Another person shook his head and said, "Ten thousand years of cultivation turned to ashes in a single day. Not only did I not make it to Zixiao Palace, but I also lost my own life."

I don't know whether I should pursue this path.

"We cultivators walk on the edge of life and death. If we give up when faced with difficulties in pursuing the Great Dao, we may find it hard to make any progress in the future. Even though I know it is impossible, I still want to give it a try."

The Mad Wind Taoist's eyes were filled with determination, as if he had seen through everything.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't act impulsively!"

Several fellow practitioners tried to persuade him, but Daoist Kuangfeng shook his head and laughed.

"I will pave the way for you fellow cultivators first. If I die, you will all gain more experience."

Daoist Kuangfeng no longer hesitated. He was originally the first wisp of wind to attain enlightenment, and his style of doing things was swift and decisive.

At that moment, he transformed into a stream of wind and charged directly into the Heavenly Abyss.

Before anyone could stop them, the other person had already quietly disappeared.

The Mad Wind Taoist was incredibly swift; he traversed the Heavenly Abyss at breakneck speed and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's a success!"

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

Especially Zidian Daoren, he did not expect the other party to succeed. Just now he was trying his best to dissuade the other party.

Upon witnessing this scene, Kunpeng, Styx, and Thor all had their eyes gleaming.

"I understand now. To get through here, the first thing you need is a fearless heart!"

With a shout, the Purple Lightning Daoist plunged headfirst into the Heavenly Abyss.

Several other cultivators then stood up and rushed in with him.

However, as soon as these cultivators entered the Heavenly Abyss, a fierce wind suddenly arose and heavenly fire erupted, instantly burning them to ashes.

None of these cultivators made it through alive; they didn't even have a chance to turn back.

Poor Zidian Daoist, he was provoked by his fellow Daoist's success, but ultimately lost his life.

The deaths of several cultivators in the Heavenly Abyss made the remaining creatures hesitate once again, and their thoughts were completely suppressed.

Many of those who died tragically were comrades they knew, but now they had turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, which completely shocked them.

"Hmph, what can a mere Tianyuan do to me!"

Just then, a domineering cultivator stood up, rushed directly into the Heavenly Abyss, flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

"Kunpeng, the Lord of the Northern Sea!"

Ao Bai looked closely and saw that the other party had transformed into its true form, which was a huge divine roc, and the figure of a giant Kun was also integrated into it. It was the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Many cultivators recognized Kunpeng. When they saw Kunpeng flap its wings and fly away, they originally wanted to see it suffer, but to their surprise, Kunpeng safely crossed the Tianyuan.

After Kunpeng succeeded, another cultivator stepped forward.

He transformed into a shower of blood, plunged directly into the abyss, and fled rapidly into the distance.

Even though the wind and fire suddenly changed, it could not stop him.

"This is Fellow Daoist Styx, Lord of the Boundless Blood Sea. I never expected him to succeed!"

Those cultivators who recognized the River Styx sighed in admiration.

Unfortunately, apart from those two, no other cultivators dared to take a single step forward.

Let's go.

Just as Ao Bai was observing the situation, the old Dragon King stepped forward.

Ao Bai hurriedly tried to stop him, but he swallowed his words back.

At this moment, the old Dragon King had already made his decision, and Ao Bai dared not shake his resolve at this time.

"I hope Father will get through this safely!"

Ao Bai hid on the old Dragon King's body, and the old Dragon King revealed his true dragon form and fled.

Seeing that two people had succeeded in a row, and now there was a third challenger, the creatures nearby were immediately drawn to the challenge.

"The dragons? They want to join in this fun too?"

"The dragon race has long since declined and is no longer the overlord it once was. He thinks that if the two in front of him can pass, he can too. That's just wishful thinking."

"Just wait and see, this dragon is doomed!"

Many cultivators present began to discuss the matter, expressing their lack of goodwill towards the dragon race.

When the dragon race dominated the prehistoric world, they fought and killed many people, and some of these cultivators were oppressed by the dragon race.

They all knew about the concept of destiny. Now that the dragon race had declined and its destiny was waning, it was basically impossible for them to cross the Heavenly Abyss.

However, after Ao Feng entered Tianyuan, his figure quickly disappeared without him encountering any danger.

"this,,,"

The cultivators who had just spoken sarcastically towards the dragon race felt their faces burning with embarrassment.

Watching Ao Feng disappear rapidly, they fell silent.

Ao Feng had clearly not died in the Heavenly Abyss, which made some cultivators excited again.

At this moment, Ao Feng was leading Ao Bai on a rapid journey. Although they were not killed, they did not pass through directly either.

The Heavenly Abyss was enormous, with turbulent currents raging within. Fortunately, Ao Feng was strong enough to withstand the turbulent currents and carve out a path to survival using the Six Dragons Mountain-Driving Whip.

Ao Bai had been observing the situation outside when suddenly, the reward from the cheat system appeared before his eyes once again.

"Success! I never expected to receive a reward after crossing the abyss."

As Ao Bai rejoiced, the old Dragon King gradually left the Heavenly Abyss Land, and things slowly calmed down before their eyes.

Ao Bai was no longer worried and immediately checked the rewards.
