Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1272 - 49: Xuan Du?

Over the vast Kunxu Mountain Range, a sudden burst of magnificent light swept across thousands of miles, as if another world were descending here. A deep pressure arrived, even touching the earth veins of Kunxu Mountain, causing the mountains to tremble.

But then, black and white colors crossed the sky, turning it into a scroll drawing. All things lost their color and twisted around, as if scattering mixed paints, chaotic and disordered.

"To practice 'Inverting Yin and Yang' among the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Techniques to such a realm, with such exquisite Taiching Immortal Light, Junior Brother Xuan Du, do you still want to cover your ears, pretending ignorance?"

Amidst the chaotic clash of black and white and the magnificent divine light, a grand voice resonated.

After the End of Dharma, though various Daoist inheritances could still be passed down, some of the supreme miracle techniques like the Three Tombs remained, attaining a cultivation level comparable to the predecessors was a difficulty greater than ascending to the heavens.

Lacking the predecessors' guidance and the supply of various resources, while being in the Five Turbid Evil World, the difficulty of cultivation was a thousand times more treacherous than before the End of Dharma.

Under such circumstances, breaking through to the realm of Supreme third grade was extremely difficult, one in a billion. However, such individuals at least existed, yet the Daoist Lord's attainment in Taoist Skills now progressed to a level capable of competing with the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Even Emperor Jiang, who absorbed the wisdom of the Human Path and even embraced the Green Emperor Dao Fruit, found it difficult to rival the Great Heavenly Venerate in Daoist journey, yet now the Daoist Lord can.

It's hard to believe there is no background or roots with such a claim, the Great Heavenly Venerate simply would not believe it.

It's known that even the Great Heavenly Venerate experienced three thousand trials before attaining such Daoist skills. If the Daoist Lord doesn't have another identity, on what basis can he compete with the Great Heavenly Venerate.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate's words seem quite arbitrary, despite wandering for countless ages, building up through my own efforts, having such Daoist skills is rather reasonable."

"Moreover, why does the Great Heavenly Venerate assert that I'm Xuan Du? If the purity of Taiqing's Method is considered, Green Bull is not inferior."

Following the Great Heavenly Venerate's voice, the Daoist Lord's voice also emerged, with a teasing tone as if still at ease.

But upon closer examination, there is some reason.

Daode Tianzun's mount, Green Bull, is truly the one accompanying his side normally, even longer than the Master Xuan Du who is the direct disciple. If Green Bull indeed survived past the End of Dharma, it is possible to reach such a realm.

"Junior Brother Xuan Du, how dare you insult me with a creature bearing hair and horns?"

A wicked creature can also compete with my Great Heavenly Venerate?

The anomalies in the sky became more grandiose, divine light and immortal energy interweaving, forming a majestic world. The boundless power descended from the heavens.

Vaguely, within the anomaly, one could see the Heavenly Court's palaces, pavilions, towers, and layers of heavens.

An unprecedentedly abnormal scene made everyone in Yuxu Temple feel as if standing on the brink of an abyss, ready to fall in at any moment.

The temple master Daoist Guang Cheng and another third grade Guangyuan Daoist both appeared, flying directly above Yuqing Hall, looking at the anomaly hovering above. Both had heavy expressions, their faces like sinking water.

"With divine light and immortal energy combined, and the emperor's presence overpowering the Three Realms, I'm afraid the Jade Emperor has arrived," Daoist Guang Cheng said sternly, "Junior Guang Yuan, according to the previously agreed strategy, lead the remaining disciples to withdraw, while I stay behind."

Knowing that the Jade Emperor has re-emerged with the Investiture of the Gods in hand, Yuxu Temple has already prepared and guarded against this.

Even under Daoist Guang Cheng's strong decision, the entire Yuxu Temple was to relocate, moving to the Divine Capital to accompany Emperor Jiang.

After all, Yin Tulong is now serving in the court, in a significant position, not to mention Emperor Jiang now counts as a disciple of Yuxu Temple, there's no fear of having no standing in the Divine Capital.

As for whether leaving this Sect's ancestral land is worthwhile...

The weight between people and land, such high-aspiring figures as Daoist Guang Cheng can certainly see clearly.

However, the time was too short. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Despite the apparent variations and after the big battle, it actually took just about half a day from when the Great Heavenly Venerate exposed his identity to now that he descended upon Kunxu Mountain.

Such a short time frame, placed in other major sects, might not even be enough to hold a meeting. Even starting to prepare, it's difficult to relocate the entire sect within half a day.

Now Daoist Guang Cheng can only let his fellows evacuate lightly, and even ready himself to stay behind.

"Okay."

Guangyuan Daoist didn't hesitate, cherishing time, uttering a word of alright, preparing to act. Yet on his face, he couldn't help showing a sorrowful expression.

To this, Daoist Guang Cheng merely smiled blandly: "My sword speed is unrivaled, may not fall here. But if indeed there's an unexpected incident, the sect depends on you."

After saying that, Daoist Guang Cheng considered the farewell with his junior brother complete, watching Guangyuan Daoist transform into Escape Light and leave, his right hand five fingers made a virtual grasp, the Slaying Immortal Sword momentum gathered, capable of freezing and slashing all things, yin and yang swords merging into the sword body.

The Daoist, with a sense of determination and boldness, was about to urge the sword momentum to the peak when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

'I seem to have forgotten something... forgot to inform Junior Brother Guang Yuan about Shen Hou.'

After all, it's a matter of infiltrating the enemy camp, the fewer people knowing the better. Up to now, only Daoist Guang Cheng and Jiang Li were aware of Shen Hou's true identity.

As for others, they certainly wish nothing more than to grind this traitor to ashes, capture his Divine Soul and light the heavenly lamp.

'Hmm... hopefully, the Emperor can timely inform the truth, to avoid any accidents. Additionally, better send a letter.'
