Daoist Long Xuan’s words exploded like a bomb in everyone’s ears, and the straightforward Bei Tang Qian Xiao spoke first.
"Then everything we’ve done before was in vain? The White Tiger Divine Beast, she..."
"Not necessarily."
Xu Nanzhi interrupted Bei Tang before he could continue, glancing towards the direction over there.
"Although the portal has been opened, it doesn’t an the Demonic Path still has control over other portals. Wasn’t this analyzed just now? Aside from us and the Demonic Path, there are indeed others who originally intended to pour into this world, likely using other ans to get here."
"I agree."
Daoist Long Xuan also spoke in agreent with Xu Nanzhi’s view.
"After all, if there were more options, or better ones, Cui Manlou would never take such a gamble, allowing his Nascent Soul to personally co to this entrance."
"Other thods?"
Yu Yanshu fell into thought upon hearing this answer, clearly having thought of sothing, but she didn’t express it directly.
"Enough speculation, let’s stay calm since we’re already here. Our urgent priority now is to find Chengyu."
Xu Nanzhi decisively interrupted the others who were overthinking things, pulling everyone’s thoughts back.
"Yang Junmo, do you still rember where that towering giant tree was?"
Yang Junmo looked around at the directionless surroundings, frowning. He did leave so information clues, but in this world where it’s difficult to extend one’s Divine Sense even over a short distance, sensing is clearly an extrely challenging task.
"I can sense a rough direction, but it’s not precise."
"Give the direction."
Daoist Long Xuan asked for the direction that Yang Junmo had perceived. Suddenly, an Eight Diagrams symbol appeared under Daoist Long Xuan’s feet.
A breath of the Heavenly Dao that none of them had ever sensed before spread around Daoist Long Xuan, imdiately forcing everyone to step back.
"This is..."
"Deduction."
Chen ngng, who was also from the Dao Sect, was the first to realize what Daoist Long Xuan was doing and explained,
"Daoist Long Xuan is using a special Daoism thod from Mount Longhu, combining all the information at hand for deduction, in order to determine the position. It’s just that the power Daoist Long Xuan is using for the deduction..."
"It’s the Primordial Power, the foremost of the seven kinds of Heavenly Dao Power. The origin of all things, the beginning of everything, the first of the Heavenly Dao Laws according to legend."
Long Ao Tian, having once been in the Immortal World, eventually recognized this extrely special power of the Heavenly Dao.
Chen ngng nodded again, and her gaze towards Daoist Long Xuan changed slightly. Xu Nanzhi, noticing this, spoke up,
"It’s nothing, ngng. Although the Primordial Power is recognized as the most orthodox among the Dao by the Dao Sect, there is no hierarchy or nobility within the Heavenly Dao Power, nothing to envy."
Chen ngng shook her head, "No, it’s not envy. If anything, it’s admiration. My master once said, if the Dao Sect wants to beco the orthodox cultivation path of the world, soone needs to prove it for the Dao Sect. I’m not fit for that, nor confident enough to achieve it. Now, seeing Daoist Long Xuan like this, I’m truly happy."
"You kid, do you really lack any spirit of competition? Back in the day, didn’t Daoist Long Xuan carve his na in your Qingcheng Sect? Don’t you want to reclaim your dignity?"
Yang Junmo added fuel to the fire on the side, even at this ti still maintaining a fearso worldly chaos deanor.
However, Chen ngng just shook her head, "I used to think so, until the day when Lord National Master ca. The hint of Dao presence on those three words helped defend the Qingcheng Sect, and I finally understood that many things aren’t as they appear. The bad may not be bad, and the good may not be good."
"Huh?"
Chen ngng’s news left everyone at a loss, clearly hearing of such things for the first ti.
Long Xuan, who was about to finish his deduction over there, spoke, "In the past, when I was ’Asking Sword’, Senior Cang Qing intended to give guidance and clarification on the Daoism thods. This is rely my return gift."
"All your past ’Asking Sword’ were like this?"
Yang Junmo asked inquisitively.
Long Xuan shook his head, "Not all. So were indeed grudges with , so I carved words to leave behind the Dao Sect Techniques. After all, everyone knew I was a Disciple of Mount Longhu... It wasn’t convenient for the other party throughout their clan. And more often than not, it’s purely leaving words, for the sake of thorough acting, I understand this much."
This answer sent a chill through everyone’s heart.
Yet recalling Long Xuan’s character, since he acted this way, the other party must have truly deserved death, so they didn’t say much more.
"I’ve confird the direction, but when leaving, they also discovered my presence. Earth Immortals, more than one."
Long Xuan promptly relayed the bad news, darkening everyone’s expressions, Xu Nanzhi was the first to regain composure, speaking,
"Then, I will have to trouble Daoist Long Xuan to help hold them off so I can rescue Chengyu."
"I will do my best."
Without giving a definitive answer, Xu Nanzhi imdiately understood that this matter may not be as easy as anticipated.
But having reached this point, there was no longer any room for retreat among them.
"Let’s move out."
Xu Nanzhi spoke, and the group continued on their journey.
Although the distance wasn’t close, they advanced at a decent pace with Daoist Long Xuan opening the way, reaching the towering transparent giant tree in less than the ti it takes to burn three incense sticks.
"So huge, it truly supports heaven and earth..."
Yu Shuang marveled at the sight of the transparent giant tree, surprised despite having ntally prepared herself, still exceeding her imagination when actually witnessing it all.
"This place is the Primordial Land of this world, and that giant tree is a manifestation of the One Realm, which is why all these Spiritual Life forms around here are composed of the purest Heavenly Dao Breath. If you can find a way to absorb these Spiritual Life forms, it would benefit your cultivation..."
Ling Xiao explained the details of this place from the other side, while Xu Nanzhi kept her focus on observing the giant tree as she advanced.
In such a harsh environnt where Divine Sense struggles to extend, she relied more on her own eyes to observe the state of the giant tree.
"It’s Chengyu!"
She exclaid in surprise, imdiately drawing everyone’s attention to her.
The group imdiately followed the direction Xu Nanzhi pointed to and indeed saw Su Chengyu hanging from the giant tree.
At the mont, Su Chengyu was almost entirely naked, with shackles ford from purple Demonic Qi on his hands and feet, eyes closed and unconscious, hanging high with no sign of emitting any cultivation.
"Su Chengyu, he..."
"Impossible!"
Xu Nanzhi spoke, instantly cutting off the dreadful speculation Yang Junmo was about to voice.
With eyes widened, blood-red threads erging in them, she looked far away and spoke word by word, "If they truly killed Chengyu, no matter the cost, I would have them... no, have this world be buried alongside Chengyu!"
