Great Yin, Imperial Capital
Since the end of the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, the na of Falling Clouds Taoist Shen Yuan had spread throughout the entire Primal Chaos Realm.
He dominated his peers and prodigies from various worlds, killed the Mortal Emperor's emissary at the hands of Massacre True Monarch, and escaped alive under the Mortal Emperor Sword.
Any single one of these feats was enough to make a na shake the Primal Chaos.
When all these deeds gathered in one person, quite a few people started to place him amongst the older generation of powerful experts when discussing the Falling Clouds Taoist Shen Yuan.
There were even so cultivator organizations dealing in information who launched a prodigy ranking list, with Falling Clouds Taoist Shen Yuan at the top, dubbed as an unparalleled Supre Prodigy in the Primal Chaos Realm, without precedent or successor.
From then on, the na of the Supre Taoist resonated throughout the Primal Chaos Realm.
However, for Great Yin's Imperial Court, the widespread fa of the Supre Taoist also ant a greater blow to the court's prestige.
Especially since the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor himself could not succeed in killing the Supre Taoist, which made many doubt whether sothing had gone awry with the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor or if he could continue to hold the title of the strongest in the Primal Chaos Realm.
To quell these effects, the Great Yin's Imperial Court spent a great deal of effort suppressing news related to the Supre Taoist and secretly spread rumors that the Supre Taoist had long vanished from the world, likely having perished under the Mortal Emperor Sword.
Such news naturally couldn't convince everyone, but as ti went by and Shen Yuan remained out of sight for a long period, coupled with the gradually waning influence from the Luotian Convention, and the Imperial Court's secret suppression of information, the matter eventually subsided.
Even many cultivators who did not know the truth really believed that the Supre Taoist was dead.
On the surface, the Great Yin Imperial Court did not seem to pay much attention to the Supre Taoist, but secretly, the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty dispatched powerful experts throughout the 36 Territories of Jiu Province at all costs to search for any trace of the Supre Taoist.
This effort was even greater than that of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens' 10 Realms Soul Pursuit altar.
Under this vast net blanketing the Great Yin Territory, no one noticed a certain location in the Tai Province territory.
Mount Tai!
Tai Province's most famous mountain, its expanse stretching across thousands of miles, Mount Tai has been the site of countless Mortal Emperor's heaven-sealing rituals since the Ancient Tis, making its na known throughout all worlds.
In the tens of thousands of years that followed, nurous Tao Orthodoxies and 72 Blessed Lands, including three originating from the Spiritual Land of Mount Tai, could be found within it.
But with a major event that occurred tens of thousands of years ago, many Tao Orthodoxy and Spiritual Lands withdrew from Mount Tai, and even the successive Morltal Emperors abandoned the ritual that had been maintained for tens of thousands of years.
The root cause was the establishnt of a dojo on Mount Tai by a powerful entity to ascertain the heavens.
The Lord of Mount Tai ascended to the Highest Heaven Realm, achieved the position of Divinity Path Emperor, and took charge of the Netherworld Divine Path.
Out of reverence for the Lord of Mount Tai, the area within ten thousand miles of Mount Tai beca the domain of the Lord's dojo, where even the Human Emperor Dynasty must show sufficient respect.
When the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty ordered the pursuit of the Supre Taoist, the Sky Patrol Fleet scoured the Jiu Province region, leaving no grotto heavens blessed land unchecked.
Only before Mount Tai did the Taichang, the chief among the Nine Ministers, personally decree that none shall disturb the sanctuary of the Lord of Mount Tai.
To the ministers and nobles of the Great Yin Imperial Court, the re Supre Taoist, with only the uncertain backing of the possible secret lineage Falling Clouds Sect behind him, simply had no place within the Lord of Mount Tai's sanctuary.
Even if the Supre Taoist had managed to enter the dojo by fluke, that would still be a private matter to the Lord of Mount Tai. If the Lord genuinely wished to protect him, could the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty truly risk offending the Lord of Mount Tai just for the sake of one Supre Taoist?
Since he was untouchable, better to give up the search altogether.
This decision was supported by the overwhelming majority in the Imperial Court, for in most people's eyes, if a rebel like the Supre Taoist entered the Lord of Mount Tai's dojo, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the Lord's authority, and he would surely be suppressed by the Lord's divine might imdiately.
Yet, unbeknownst to everyone in the Great Yin Imperial Court, the Supre Taoist they were searching for was inside the Lord of Mount Tai's dojo.
...
That day, a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex suddenly ford in the skies above Mount Tai, almost covering the expanse of Mount Tai which stretched across thousands of miles.
Down from the heavens stread a radiant glow, from the earth sprang golden lotuses, the sea gave birth to a brilliant moon... various extraordinary signs simultaneously erged over Mount Tai, instantly attracting the attention of all powers within the Primal Chaos Realm.
Such phenona even drew the scrutiny of the canonical gods from beyond the Primal Chaos Realm.
However, upon noticing that these signs were manifesting within the dojo of the Lord of Mount Tai, all powerful experts, including the canonical gods, withdrew their gazes.
If such signs had erged elsewhere, whether it was a powerful expert realizing the Dao or the birth of an Immortal Artifact, they would have attracted exploratory efforts from various forces.
Yet within the dojo of the Lord of Mount Tai, even if a Boundary-opening Treasure descended to the world, it would have nothing to do with outsiders.
And at the heart of these vast extraordinary phenona, Shen Yuan was sitting cross-legged in deep concentration, completing the final step of his Tao Harmony.
Behind him, the Great Tao Manifestation that sat high in another dinsion slowly stepped into this world. Its towering form began to shrink gradually, eventually rging with Shen Yuan's physical body.
In an instant of Body rging with Tao, the Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer Divine Power inside the Great Tao Manifestation evolved into nurous paths, clearly presenting themselves before Shen Yuan's eyes, with so even pointing directly to the primordial Great Dao.
Should Shen Yuan wish it, he could take control of all the Dao and reach the Peak Stage.
Faced with the close reach of the Great Dao, Shen Yuan simply furrowed his brows, his right hand gently tapping between his eyebrows.
The next mont, the Great Tao Manifestation that had rged with his body separated once more, and Shen Yuan forcibly exited the state of Body rging with Tao.
