"In that case, we have no intention of disturbing you, so we'll take our leave!" the old man from the foreign land said, forcing himself to stay in this godforsaken place for not a second longer.

"The aroma of this pot is somewhat familiar; I've forgotten so much," the woman said, her tone tinged with melancholy.

Upon hearing this, many cultivators from the foreign land felt their scalps tingle with fear, terrified that the strange woman would make a move.

With a whoosh, the coffin lid was lifted, and the woman slowly sat up, lightly flicking her slender fingers on the Immortal Refining Pot.

when!

With a piercing sound, the Immortal Refining Pot unleashed an extremely dazzling killing intent, condensing into a streak of blood-red light that rushed towards the woman.

But the woman simply waved her hand, and the attack, brimming with murderous intent, was shattered.

Everyone turned pale; this woman's strength was simply too great.

A cultivator from another realm wanted to awaken the deity within the Immortal Refining Pot, but the woman raised her hand, and the laws of the Great Dao sealed the pot's opening like a net.

"It gives me an extremely uncomfortable feeling." The woman muttered to herself, raised her hand to freeze Meng Tianzheng and the others, and with a wave of her hand, the Ten Realms Map fell into her hand.

"It feels very familiar."

Meng Tianzheng shouted, "As an ancestor of the Nine Heavens, you should recognize this map. These are all supreme sacred objects that were once used in fierce battles!"

With a wave of her hand, the woman sent the Ten Realms Map and the Immortal Refining Pot into the deep ravine of the mountain range, where a huge chessboard lay, intent on suppressing everyone.

"What does it matter if we know each other? All cause and effect are severed, and right and wrong have nothing to do with me anymore," the woman said softly.

"Do you think you can sever cause and effect so easily? Your predecessor was buried in the heavens, and a great calamity is about to befall the world. Do you all think you can stay out of it?" Li Dao said solemnly.

"What's inside your body? It looks familiar; I saw it briefly on the battlefield." The woman looked at Li Dao, her eyes seemingly able to see through everything, and slowly reached out her hand.

Li Dao felt his whole body stiffen, as if all the energy of heaven and earth was pressing down on him, causing him to catch his breath.

The next moment, a piece of ancient broken stone tablet was peeled out from his body.

Li Dao's expression changed. This was the broken stele he had obtained in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. After it was integrated into his body, he could no longer find it. He never expected that it would be brought out again by that woman.

“Attaining the Dao…” The woman looked at the two characters on the stele, which seemed ordinary but were filled with a strange Daoist aura, and prepared to reach out and touch them.

Suddenly the monument trembled, and her hand began to crumble inch by inch.

"What's going on here?"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and Li Dao also looked at the stele with great curiosity.

"Hehe, cause and effect are hard to sever..." The woman seemed oblivious, slowly withdrawing her hand. Her flesh and blood regenerated, and with a wave of her hand, the Dao Tablet once again entered Li Dao's body.

"I have created my own forbidden zone and will no longer dwell on the past. So be it, you may leave. I am now isolated from the world and will no longer concern myself with worldly affairs. Do not disturb me."

After saying this, the woman returned the two immortal artifacts that had been suppressed in the great formation. Compared to her initial confusion, she was now extremely decisive.

They were thrown directly towards the edge of this world.

"Senior, you can't let them go! These aliens are the culprits who caused your previous life's death! You can't let them go!" Cao Yusheng roared, extremely unwilling.

The faces of the many cultivators from the foreign land turned green instantly. They all turned to look at Cao Yusheng, clenching their fists as if they wanted to devour him alive.

"This body is gone, I no longer concern myself with the past, nor speak of worldly affairs. Heaven and earth wither and age, forming a forbidden zone, severing all turmoil and chaos," the woman said coldly.

The people of Jiutian were quite helpless, and many of them looked at Li Dao with somewhat strange expressions.

The woman had been about to make a move, but after seeing the broken section of the stele, she changed her mind. Everyone looked at Li Dao in unison.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Li Dao was also quite helpless. The woman had originally planned to live in seclusion and not help either side, so it had little to do with him. Moreover, after that section of the Dao Stele entered his body, he could no longer find it.

"That's strange. Where exactly is this stele hidden?"

boom!

The next moment, the towering, pitch-black monument, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, slowly pressed down, intending to reseal this place.

Amidst the surging chaos, the ancient realm was submerged in the turmoil.

"It's truly frustrating that we couldn't even get that being to wipe out the alien bastards!" Cao Yusheng said with some dissatisfaction.

Chi!

Just then, a streak of light shot out from the chaos, accompanied by the woman's voice:

"Sever the cause and effect, do not meet, do not disturb each other."

Having said that, the giant black monument trembled and fell completely, and this ancient realm vanished from the world.

Two objects separated from the stream of light. One first landed on the Ten Realms Map, attracting everyone's attention, and then the other landed in front of Li Dao.

"This is……"

Li Dao was startled. It was an ancient zither, carved with the image of a phoenix perched on a parasol tree. Although it was broken, it exuded an indescribable Daoist charm and killing intent.

"Phoenix Tree Fairy Zither!"

Li Dao hadn't expected that the woman would send out such a celestial artifact; although it was damaged, its power was still not to be underestimated.

"Could it be because of that monument?"

He was puzzled, but without giving it much thought, he put it away immediately.

What landed on the Ten Realms Map was an incense stick, less than half a foot long, with traces of having been lit before being extinguished.

"What's the use of just a broken piece of incense?" someone muttered.

However, when Li Dao saw the two words 'World Annihilation' engraved on it, his breath caught in his throat.

This is the Heaven and Earth Longevity Incense, a beacon in the darkness, guiding lost powerful beings from the Boundary Sea back home. Once lit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This thing is extraordinary; it must have an immense purpose!" Meng Tianzheng carefully put it away.

"Strange ancient fragrance, what else did that kid get!" The foreigner's eyes flashed with ferocity. If it weren't for the Ten Realms Map, the Great Luo Sword Embryo, the World Tree Sapling of the Ten-Crown King, and the existence of the Heavenly Horned Ant of the Immortal, they would have already made a move to snatch it.

"Let's leave this place first!" The group that had been confronting the people from the other world withdrew from this chaotic area one after another.

Along the way, many people couldn't help but fall into deep thought, after all, the things they had encountered along the way were too dangerous, and the existence of a forbidden zone made them feel a little scared.

Li Dao didn't feel much about it; in later generations, there were many forbidden zones for self-severance, so it wasn't anything special.

He was simply puzzled as to why the woman had given him the celestial zither.

"Severing karmic ties? When did we begin our karmic connection?"

If I can't figure it out, I simply stop thinking about it.

Just then, Cao Yusheng walked over, rubbing his hands together with a smile on his face. He bumped into Li Dao's shoulder and said, "Brother Li Dao, can I take a look at your treasure?"

Snapped!

Li Dao slapped him on the back of the head, his eyes full of disdain, and said, "Go play somewhere else."

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. I saw a streak of light land in front of you. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, so no one saw it. Tell me what that was?" Cao Yusheng scratched his head and ran over again.

“There’s nothing there.” Li Dao said, then flew over to Shi Hao and the others.

"How stingy!" Cao Yusheng muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about?" At this moment, Lightning also came over, somewhat curious about what he had said to his older brother.

"It's nothing," Cao Yusheng said, and walked away on his own.

"That's inexplicable," Lightning said, somewhat speechless.

The Great Red Sky Frontier.

The place remains lifeless, the ancient city reduced to ruins, the blood still fresh, and the world silent.

Li Dao and his companions, carried by the Ten Realms Map, appeared on the frontier. They looked into the distance and saw several terrifying figures standing beside the abyss at the edge of darkness. These were all powerful figures from other realms, waiting for those who had entered the ancient realm to return.

"The Lord has exhausted himself, we should leave. When the borderlands are breached, that will be the day we exterminate your entire clan!" An old man at the edge of the abyss said coldly to Li Dao and the others.

"Kill me my ass! If you've got the guts, come and chop me up right now!"

"If you don't come, you're my grandson!" Cao Yusheng couldn't tolerate this and immediately cursed.

"Kid! Once I break through this barrier, I'll come looking for you first!" the old man said coldly.

"Grandson, you can come looking for me all you want!" Cao Yusheng said, clearly annoyed.

"You!" The old man was speechless for a moment, and glared at Cao Yusheng fiercely.

However, Cao Yusheng didn't care about that look and just nodded at the old man.

"Arrogant fatso, when all the powerful figures of our realm arrive, we will surely destroy your lineage and exterminate your relatives and friends!"

The young kings from the foreign land beside the abyss were all fired up and made fierce threats.

"I've remembered you all. If I ever enter your realm, I'll definitely dig up your ancestral graves!" Cao Yusheng was also getting angry.

The back-and-forth banter eased the somewhat tense atmosphere a bit.

One by one, the alien creatures sank into the abyss and disappeared into the border of the Great Crimson Sky. Then, several dark figures appeared and slowly disappeared into the abyss, completely closing the passage.

"It's like several hands are holding up the abyss to prevent it from closing; that's a bit of an exaggeration," Cao Yusheng exclaimed.

"What? Is Fatty scared?" Shi Hao teased.

“Afraid? Why would I be afraid?” Cao Yusheng shook his head and retorted.

Seeing that his legs were trembling, Li Dao smiled.

"Let's go." Meng Tianzheng watched as the abyss completely closed, but his worries did not diminish in the slightest. He led the group through the void and left the original spot.

One by one, young people left on the road, heading to their respective families to deliver messages and inform them of what had happened on the frontier of the Great Red Sky.

The major sects of the Nine Heavens only knew that the borders had been invaded, but they didn't know what was going on. They were even unaware of the borderlands, which were the main battlefield.

In the end, only a handful of people remained on the ship.

After Li Dao saw the witch off, Feng Wu also had to go and inform the Heavenly Immortal Academy. Only Shan Dianzi accompanied him.

As soon as they returned to Wuliangtian, Meng Tianzheng also left, leaving Li Dao and Shi Hao to steer the warship back to Tianshen Academy.

"They're back! The Grand Elder and the others have returned!"

As the warship entered the airspace above the academy, exclamations of surprise immediately rang out from within the academy.

Li Dao, Shi Hao, and the others all landed on the academy square, while the rest landed one after another. Many disciples ran over to thank Li Dao before leaving.

They were all people protected by Li Dao during the battle with the young king from another realm.

Before Li Dao and Shi Hao had even left, a group of young prodigies surrounded them, bombarding them with questions.
