The words of the formless Daoist still echoed gently in the void, not yet dispersed, when the originally calm void suddenly rippled, akin to the mottled rust on an ancient bronze artifact, suffused with the vicissitudes and mystery of ti.
In the blink of an eye, these ripples spread with astonishing speed, causing the entire Spirit Platform Star Sea to tremble violently.
The thirty-six bronze Dao platforms, originally suspended in the star sea, exuding an ancient aura, at this mont, all let out a low moan simultaneously, as if bearing so imnse and irresistible pressure, the sound full of pain and despair.
Just as everyone was in shock, a Mystic Sky Dharma Image, entwined by a turtle and a snake, like a bright star, instantly pierced through the starry sky.
On the turtle shell, the carved star patterns burst forth with dazzling radiance, as if gathering the power of countless stars, making it impossible to look directly at.
With each inch the Dharma Image moved, the myriad stars around seed to be drawn invisibly, shifting along with it, causing the entire star sea’s order to be thrown into chaos.
When the Dharma Image fully manifested, standing firmly before everyone, they finally saw that between the turtle and snake sat a disheveled daoist, barefoot with loose hair draping over his shoulders, yet emanating an aura of transcendence, superior to all.
"True Martial!"
"Originator of Mystic Sky Demon Veneration!"
"Zhang Lata..."
Exclamations rose and fell, like surging tidal waves, one after another.
Li Qing stood amongst the crowd, his heart trembling intensely. He focused his gaze and realized that the face of this Dharma Image was exactly the sa as the portrait of the ancestor enshrined in the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path.
His current incarnation derived from the Heavenly Demon Transformation Temple Master, and Xu Qing had countless, unbreakable ties with the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path. Thus, from any angle, he could be considered a disciple or descendant.
In the present world, the na True Martial represents the pinnacle of the Divine Dao. Even tracing back to ancient tis, within the vast system of the Divine Dao, he was second only to Ziwei and Longevity.
Although he is not the first generation True Martial, through continuous inheritance, with the True Spirit remaining immortal, having weathered countless ages of refinent and accumulation, the main difference from the first generation is rely having richer experience and the mory of multiple reincarnations.
Such profound foundation and legacy make him one of the oldest beings in the Taixu Universe, like an eternally shining star, always emitting dazzling light throughout the vast river of history.
In bygone days, Shakyamuni erged suddenly, his might causing great embarrassnt to the Four Great Daoist Sects, making them lose face. However, even such a formidable Shakyamuni never dared trouble True Martial, highlighting the terrifying strength of True Martial, inspiring awe and fear.
Among the current Four Great Daoist Sects, probably only the enigmatic Eight Diagrams Dao Furnace of the Supre Dao Sect could genuinely make True Martial wary.
The Eight Diagrams Dao Furnace has always been personally guarded by the Sect Master of the Supre Dao Sect, who hasn’t left the Alchemy Room for tens of thousands of years, wholly committed to the protection and insight into the Dao Furnace.
Because of this, the leader of the Supre Dao Sect heading to the Spirit Platform Star Sea this ti beca the formless Daoist.
In fact, the formless Daoist isn’t a direct disciple of the Supre Dao Sect. He was originally trapped in the eye of the Spirit Platform Star Sea—the Ancient God Hall, experiencing countless years of confinent without seeing daylight. Later, the Supre Dao Sect Master used Great Divine Power to rescue him from this plight.
Out of gratitude and pursuit of the Dao, the formless Daoist beca a disciple under the Supre Dao Sect. Since then, relying on his own formidable Divine Skills, and seemingly well-versed in many Taixu Universe secrets, he quickly beca a trusted and capable assistant to the Supre Dao Sect Master.
In the Taixu Three Thousand Realms, he wielded great influence, with a knack for navigating complexities. As for Xu Qing, his role for him was—Shen Gongbao!
Everyone associated with him was unlucky!
"Daoist Zhang, you typically don’t attend the Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference, why are you here this ti?" the formless Daoist asked in surprise. He knew well that the True Martial’s dominance in the current age, without the Sect Master bringing the Eight Diagrams Divine Furnace, would be difficult to suppress True Martial’s montum.
"The Supre Dao Sect has matters, I ca on their behalf." True Martial’s expression was indifferent, his tone calm.
Li Qing, humble as a lackey amidst the crowd, always felt that a sidelong glance from True Martial seed to look in his direction.
His daughter hasn’t acknowledged her father yet, should he first recognize an ancestor?
What would be a fitting opener?
Perhaps, "Old Ancestor, I’ve offered incense for you!"
Maybe due to the barrier of the Spirit Platform Star Sea, the Devil Thought in Li Qing’s incarnation started stirring erratically.
The formless Daoist spoke, "Isn’t this against the rules?"
"Rules? Ladies and gentlen, do you think it’s against the rules for this Emperor to be here?" True Martial’s gaze swept across the venue, and the Seven Sages of the Bodhi Dao Sect imdiately lowered their eyes.
Although achieving the Great Luo Fruit Position rarely results in demise, when facing such an unreasonable entity as True Martial, if he suppresses you in the Spirit Platform Star Sea and throws you into the Ruishui River, even if you don’t die, you’d be skinned.
Moreover, True Martial also possesses the ability to command the Ruishui River.
With this person’s intervention, only a handful in the Taixu Universe could stop him.
The Five Elders of the Heavenly River were brimming with satisfaction, this is the power of connections.
However, when they contacted True Martial privately, he didn’t ntion personally attending, perhaps the Pure Yang Dao Sect had offered so additional incentive.
In any case, with True Martial personally present, and without the Sect Master and Eight Diagrams Furnace of the Supre Dao Sect available, due to all the ancestral-level existences of the Four Great Daoist Sects having disappeared, there was no force present to balance True Martial.
