Chapter 586: The Rule I Set Today
Chapter 586: The Rule I Set Today
Everyone's hearts shuddered at these words. At this moment, the Great Wilderness seemed truly trapped, as if their lives hung in the balance. However, the mention of the Dao Ancestor offered a glimmer of comfort.
"Is there a way to avoid being consumed?" Tianzi asked, his voice grave.
"Breaking this grand formation is challenging, yet not impossible," Fang Hao replied. "The formation of the Non-Transformation Temple is crude and full of loopholes. They rely solely on brute force to activate it. That's their only trick."
"There are ways to break this formation, but the Great Wilderness lacks the strength to do so against the temple's power," he continued. "However, we can find a glimmer of hope and a chance to escape."
Fang Hao pointed between the two mountains. "When the formation is activated, concentrate your strength and attack this spot. It will create an opening for us to break free."
Everyone memorized the location. Although it would only provide a small opening and a chance to escape, it was enough. It showed that the Non-Transformation Temple's arrangement was crude and relied on sheer power to gain an advantage. If the power gap were narrower, breaking the formation would be easier.
Time passed as the two forces stared each other down. Finally, as the ages changed, an ancient and weathered aura emerged in the Land of Non-Transformation. Suddenly, behind the Three True Spirit Kings, several True Spirits wobbled and fell, lifeless.
Black Serpent King glanced back but didn't dwell on it. With each new era, some True Spirits couldn't withstand time's ravages and perished.
This was an unbreakable rule of the land.
Red Panther King didn't turn, but Giant Glutton King looked at the fallen True Spirits and muttered before consuming them. "Don't waste food," he said, chewing.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the other True Spirits, their bodies trembling as they felt the inexorable march of time.
On the nine mountains, the gray-robed figures rose and turned toward the Great Wilderness, their auras surging as they prepared to activate the rules. To ensure maximum effect, they needed to manipulate the heavens and earth, especially when dealing with powerful entities.
The gray-robed figures on the other peaks stood, except for Meng Yue and Xue Mo. They were exempt from attacking the Great Wilderness by the Non-Transformation Godmaster's decree.
Meng Yue turned back, deep in thought, as Xue Mo asked, "Big brother, are you sure about this?"
"For peace of mind," Meng Yue replied calmly.
As silence fell, Xu Yan said, "It's time to act," and stepped forward, with Jiang Buling close behind.
Li Xuan stretched and beckoned to Chi Mao, who transformed into a mountain-sized cat. Shi Er quickly moved the table and objects onto Chi Mao's back.
"Master, are you going to take action?" Su Lingxiu asked eagerly.
Smiling, Li Xuan replied, "I'm going to set a rule."
Everyone was thrilled to witness the Dao Ancestor in action. Xie Lingfeng, Xie Tianheng, Yue Changming, Yue'er, Meng Shushu, Du Yu'ying, Yun Miaomiao, Zi Yun, and Xin Mengrou wanted to climb onto Chi Mao's back to view the spectacle.
Chi Mao glared at them, clearly unhappy about the idea.
Su Lingxiu suggested, "You can ride on the fourth junior brother's flying boat if you like. No need to crowd Chi Mao."
"Yes, let's take the flying boat!"
In the end, only Yue'er, Du Yu'ying, Yun Miaomiao, Zi Yun, Meng Shushu, and Xie Lingfeng were allowed on Chi Mao's back due to their close relationships with Xu Yan, Meng Chong, or Su Lingxiu. The others had to settle for the flying boat, driven away by Chi Mao's glares.
Fang Hao guided the massive flying boat from Hongze Heaven. Though it required significant resources to operate, no cost was too great to witness the might of the Dao Ancestor and the historic shift in the heavens and earth.
The flying boat carried many passengers, including the Great Yue Emperor, Feng Yan, Cang Hai Gui, and others.
The sweeping Mok Chui hesitated before bringing his broom to Chi Mao's side. He wanted to face the Non-Transformation Godmaster directly, breaking free from mental shackles.
Mok Chui saw that the Dao Ancestor showed no signs of opposition, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still gripped his broom tightly, feeling a bit nervous.
Li Xuan sat casually in his chair, with Cai Ling'er, his handmaiden, by his side, preparing spirit cakes and pouring tea. Her skills had improved, and the spirit cakes she made were delicious.
Li Xuan waved over Ming Yu to join them on Chi Mao's back. Ming Yu was close to awakening.
Chi Mao roared and soared into the sky, heading beyond the heavens.
"Master, I'll go first," Su Lingxiu said excitedly as she hurried ahead, reaching beyond the heavens before the others. She took out bottle after bottle of pills and offered them to the group of powerful beings. "These pills can help you recover from your injuries and replenish your energy. Please take them."
"Thank you, Evergreen Fairy!" the powerful beings expressed their gratitude.
They were already aware of the wonders of alchemy, and this woman was the direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, the founder of Evergreen Pavilion, and one of the founders of Green Lotus Sect. She was the one who spread the art of pill concoction.
Nowadays, all the strong cultivators from the caves called Su Lingxiu "Evergreen Fairy."
Su Lingxiu then took out some pills and handed them to the Heavenly Dao Realm's Xiao Laotou and others, including Ao Hong and Wu Mo, but not Qing Yu, as she didn't need them.
"These are Heavenly Pills, which are difficult to refine," Su Lingxiu said, looking at the Non-Transformation Land. She smiled at the group of True Spirit Kings, "One True Spirit King is enough to refine several bottles of Heavenly Pills. If all these True Spirits were to be refined into pills, with the help of these pills, your strength will definitely increase faster!"
Xiao Laotou and the others were immediately tempted when they heard this. They looked at the group of True Spirits, seeing them as a pile of heavenly treasures.
"I also have an even more powerful True Spirit that hasn't been refined into pills yet."
As Su Lingxiu spoke, she took out a True Spirit.
It was Chi Xiao Ni! Chi Xiao Ni's body had been dissected, and Su Lingxiu had thoroughly studied it. Now, she was ready to use it to refine pills.
When Ao Hong saw Chi Xiao Ni's body, he glanced at Chi Xiao Wang in the distance and felt his scalp go numb. He knew Chi Xiao Wang would go crazy.
At this moment, Chi Mao had already reached beyond the heavens, with Li Xuan leisurely sipping his tea. Behind Chi Mao was the miniaturized flying boat, carrying the rest of the group who gazed out beyond the heavens.
The flying boat had a protective shield, ensuring that even those without a Realm Lord's strength wouldn't be affected by the Non-Transformation Land.
In the distance, Chi Mao and the flying boat caught the attention of the Non-Transformation Godmaster and his group, who fixed their gazes on them. Their eyes eventually landed on Li Xuan.
This handsome young man exuded no aura of strength, nor did he display any sharp edges. He also didn't seem connected to the rules of the Great Wilderness. Yet, his mere presence seemed to bring relief to everyone.
"So that's the mysterious Dao Ancestor?" Blood Demon looked at the figure on the colorful giant tiger. He saw Yan Xu sitting next to the tiger; clearly, he was Yan Xu's master, the mysterious Dao Ancestor.
"Big brother, can you tell how strong he is? How does he compare to a Godmaster?" Blood Demon asked curiously.
"Can't tell," Ming Yu replied, his brows furrowed as he stared intently.
"Facing so many powerful beings and still remaining so calm, he must be very confident in his strength. Could this mysterious Dao Ancestor be confident enough to take on the Godmaster, Yu Ting, and the three True Spirit Kings by himself?" Blood Demon wondered aloud.
"Moreover, the setup is complete, and the rules are in place, enclosing the heavens and earth, ready to devour them at any time. Why did he wait until now to show up leisurely? Could he be confident that he can break the Godmaster's setup?" Blood Demon's expectations rose.
"Who are you?" The Non-Transformation Godmaster asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, he turned solemn, realizing that the young man on the colorful tiger was the pillar of support for all the strong cultivators present, including the youth connected to the rules of the Great Wilderness.
The young man didn't exude any aura of being connected to the heavens and earth, which meant he wasn't the master of the Great Wilderness. Yet, he was the pillar of support for everyone, which was the worst-case scenario.
A strange and powerful being had entered the Great Wilderness without anyone noticing, and now the Great Wilderness had undergone such tremendous changes, which clearly indicated that this person was responsible.
At the same time, the Non-Transformation Godmaster also noticed Mok Chui by Li Xuan's side. It was evident that Mok Chui had submitted to this mysterious powerful being.
From the moment the young man appeared, Wu Mo, Ao Hong, and Qing Yu had become respectful. All signs pointed to the young man being an extremely powerful being, surpassing even the Realm Lord realm.
Black Serpent King lifted his head, his eyes filled with confusion as he beheld the figure. He wondered how there could be a powerful being, even he knew not of. Could this person also be an exile?
But how could an exile enter the Land of Non-Transformation without him sensing it?
Li Xuan toyed with a jade scepter in his hand, his gaze calm and a smile playing on his lips as he spoke, "You may address me as Dao Zu!"
"Dao Zu?!"
Non-Transformation Godmaster was taken aback, exchanging glances with the Three True Spirit Kings and the Three Monarchs of Jade Courtyard. The Three Monarchs, in turn, looked at Black Serpent King, silently questioning him.
Black Serpent King shook his head, indicating he had never heard of the name Dao Zu.
"How audacious of you to call yourself Dao Zu!" The Non-Transformation Godmaster said coldly.
"The strong need not be audacious; it is the weak who are," Li Xuan replied, still smiling.
"Are you going to interfere in the matters of my shrine? Do you intend to protect this Great Wilderness?" The Non-Transformation Godmaster asked, his aura surging as shadows loomed large, filling the air with an eerie, powerful presence.
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "This world is called Great Wilderness, where the laws of nature govern the establishment of yin and yang and the cycle of reincarnation. It would be a pity to destroy it. I know you've worked hard on your arrangements, so I'll set a rule today."
As he spoke, Li Xuan pointed with the jade scepter in his hand, and a radiant light formed a battlefield resembling a stage in the region outside the Nine Mountains.
"On one side, we have the Great Wilderness, and on the other, we have you. Let the rulers of the world fight it out here. If you win, I, Dao Zu, won't interfere with whatever you do, even if you choose to devour this world. But if you lose, you must give up on this world and never plot to take it again."
Li Xuan continued, his tone slightly more emphatic, "Of course, you must not bully the weak. Only those below the Realm Lord level can participate. That's the rule!"
The Non-Transformation Godmaster was taken aback, glancing at the Three Monarchs of Jade Courtyard and the Three True Spirit Kings, as if seeking their reaction to this proposal.
"How interesting. In my long life, I've never met anyone who dares to set rules in front of me," Black Serpent King said, his head raised and a playful look in his eyes.
"Eat! I, Giant Glutton King, have also never met anyone like this, so I shall eat him and find out why he's so audacious!" Giant Glutton King said, shaking his massive head.
Red Panther King let out a cold laugh. "What do you think, Godmaster?"
The Three Monarchs of Jade Courtyard remained expressionless, but their faces wore mocking smiles.
The Non-Transformation Godmaster laughed loudly and then said coldly, "What if I don't obey your rules?"
Li Xuan didn't seem bothered and continued to smile as he replied, "If you don't obey, I don't mind stretching my legs and teaching those who don't know how to follow rules a lesson!"
"Good, good! You're quite arrogant. Let's see how you make us obey your rules!" The Non-Transformation Godmaster said. The eyes within his shadowy body turned scarlet, and an even more sinister and powerful aura emanated from him, like an invincible evil demon.
Li Xuan maintained his smile, playing with the jade scepter in one hand while holding a teacup in the other. He gently blew on the tea and took a sip, seemingly unconcerned about the Non-Transformation Godmaster.
Wu Mo, Ao Hong, and Qing Yu instinctively clenched their fists as they stared at the Non-Transformation Godmaster. Despite the distance, the eerie, powerful aura made them feel suffocated.
They recalled the might displayed by the Non-Transformation Godmaster in the previous battle, and they couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.
Shepherd Demon, sitting next to Red Panther King, was also tense. However, he gritted his teeth and stared directly at the Non-Transformation Godmaster, overcoming his fear with sheer willpower.
As a disciple of Dao Zu, he shouldn't feel any reverence toward the Non-Transformation Godmaster. Instead, he should be looking down on him.
The five Xu Yan brothers were thrilled and eagerly anticipated the Non-Transformation Godmaster taking action. They wanted to witness their master's invincible might once more.
Tianzi fixed his gaze on the Non-Transformation Godmaster, feeling both nervous and excited. He even considered asking Li Xuan to spare the Godmaster's life and hand him over so that he could personally refine him with the power of the Heavenly Dao and take revenge for the Great Wilderness.
The passengers on the flying boat were equally excited, their eyes glued to the Non-Transformation Godmaster. Far from feeling afraid or nervous, they longed for the Godmaster to make a move so they could witness the invincible might of Dao Zu once more.
Being able to see Dao Zu in action was a great opportunity. In the future, they could boast to their descendants about how they had witnessed Dao Zu's power firsthand!
