Poverty

Chapter 1811 A blessing in disguise
After escaping, Xiao Tianzun hid in the Valley of Gods and Demons to cultivate.

This Valley of Gods and Demons is also a sacred place for cultivation in another realm, and it has been preserved through several upheavals.

Originally, this was the territory of a Dao Lord who cultivated the Great Dao of Gods and Demons. However, the Great Dao Lord of Gods and Demons had long occupied many resources, and this kind of wild Dao Lord did not have many resources under his control.

After experiencing so much turmoil in foreign lands, this Uncle Chong Daojun has cultivated himself into a Great Dao Lord.

The alien realm is currently in a state of utter chaos, and since he did not assume power through a normal succession, he has not yet had the chance to reap the rewards of the vast universe.

Now, this Uncle Chongda Daojun stood very respectfully in front of a young man.

The young man chatted and laughed with him, appearing very relaxed.

He was short and stout, with narrow and long eyes; he was none other than the Little Celestial Venerable who had not appeared for a long time.

The little celestial being's casual pointer was of great benefit to Uncle Chongdao.

At this moment, Grandmaster Chongshu was telling Little Celestial Venerable about the news that his disciples had recently gathered.
"Due to the decline in the strength of the Holy Domain, the Great Thousand Universes have fallen into a predicament and are rebelling one after another. This has now become a trend. Originally, there were only three people, including Gong Feiyan, who rebelled, but now there are more than ten times as many as before."

The Little Celestial Venerable nodded slightly; this was in line with the chaos of the other realm.

Uncle Chongdao continued, "I heard that the Heavenly Emperor of the Shengjie Universe has risen up in retaliation, annihilated all the sects, granted high positions to those who followed him, and killed all those who disobeyed. Moreover, he has formed an alliance with people from several other universes by riding a multi-story ship, and I recently heard that it has become quite powerful."

The Little Celestial Venerable said, "In that case, this Heavenly Emperor of the Great Realm must be a man of great talent and ambition."

Zhongshu Daojun said, "It's a pity that the Holy Domain is currently struggling to protect itself and has no time to deal with this rebel. Otherwise, if they had been eliminated at the very beginning of their cultivation, how could they have been allowed to cause trouble?"

The Little Celestial Venerable's gaze darkened slightly. He didn't speak, but stared at Uncle Chong, making Uncle Chong feel a chill run down his spine.

Uncle Chongdao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Realizing he had broken his promise, he quickly said, "I have always opposed conquering other universes and plundering resources to strengthen the status of the Holy Domain."

Little Celestial Venerable shook his head and said, "If my Hong Realm were in charge now, I would do the same. There is nothing wrong with this method itself."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chongda breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, but in his heart he thought, "If that's the case, why did you give me that cannibalistic look just now?"

Although Uncle Chongdao was inwardly criticizing Little Celestial Venerable, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on the surface.

Little Celestial Venerable said, "Alright, you may leave now. I'll call you again if I need anything."

Then, Uncle Chongdao respectfully withdrew.

This Valley of Gods and Demons was originally his territory, but now that killings are breaking out everywhere, he can barely protect himself and can only barely protect the disciples of the Valley of Gods and Demons.

In the previous upheavals, he was only affected to some extent because he had cultivated to the Great Dao Lord level early on, and he was able to withstand the impact.

A look of worry immediately appeared between the brows of the Little Celestial Venerable.

"I wonder how Father is doing these days?"

The Little Celestial Venerable was seriously injured, but at this moment all his injuries have been healed.

The cultivation technique he practiced was indeed extraordinary.

The Nine Tribulations Supreme Profound Technique that the Great Celestial Venerable passed on to him was enough to allow him to refine the injuries on his body.

The Little Celestial Venerable also grew stronger with each battle, becoming proficient in combat techniques.

This time, not only was he unharmed, but he also made a breakthrough in the face of life and death, which is similar to Li Yanchu.

His understanding of cause and effect has reached a new level.

However, every time he tried to calculate Li Yanchu's fate, he felt an extremely powerful backlash.

Only a diviner can deal with a diviner. The karma on Li Yanchu's body is already obscure and difficult to understand, but now it is impossible to see through it at all. The opponent's defense is very tight, which is naturally due to his own karma.

The Little Celestial Venerable stopped calculating and began to deduce the changes in the other realm. Although cause and effect could not deduce the calamity, he could still glean some clues.

"Another Dao Lord from another realm has been resurrected. Li Yanchu, you really dare to do this!"

Previously, Jun Wushuang, Guo Huchan, and others were all resurrected by him in order to disrupt the alien realm, but now the forces in the alien realm have become somewhat unbalanced.

On Hongjie's side, only he, his father, the Great Celestial Venerable, and the mysterious Jing Qing remained.

But at this very moment, the Dao Lord of ancient times was resurrected, which must have been the work of Li Yanchu.

The Little Celestial Venerable's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Recalling what Li Yanchu had done, he wished he could kill him immediately.

"My profound skill is not yet fully mastered. I have already fused two of the four Great Daos. If I fuse the third one soon, I can make up for the fact that I have fewer Great Daos to cultivate than Li Yanchu."

The Little Celestial Venerable often sensed people attaining enlightenment, and the speed at which they did so was astonishing.

He suspected it was Li Yanchu.

However, it is impossible to calculate his whereabouts through the law of cause and effect. Now that the other party is outside of cause and effect, it is impossible to trace him.

…………

However, not only is the Little Celestial Venerable extremely talented, but he also seems to have good luck.

So many powerful beings from the Hong Realm had previously exhausted all their strength to fight against the Chaos Hole, but on this day, the Chaos Hole tore through the void and fell tens of thousands of miles away from them.

Sensing this powerful fluctuation, the Little Celestial Venerable immediately deduced the scene, which quickly appeared before his eyes.

The mysterious and unpredictable void, imbued with the power of space and time, crashed onto the ground like a giant sphere, instantly creating a deep crater. The surrounding land was scorched like glass, forming a large pit, resembling the marks left by a falling sun.

Upon witnessing the scene of the chaotic collapse, the Little Celestial Venerable was extremely astonished.
"What happened to Hundong?"

Previously, so many powerful individuals had exhausted their combined strength to set up four divine-suppressing formations, but these were all broken by the powerful beings within the chaotic void, proving utterly ineffective.
Seeing the Hundong in this state is truly unexpected.

Soon, Little Celestial Venerable flew over.

At the site where the Chaos Hole fell, the power emanating from it had transformed from raging fire into icy cold, freezing the surrounding earth.

The little celestial being was so cold that frost appeared on his eyebrows as soon as he stepped into the area.

After walking several dozen more steps, he was completely frozen, his blood was about to freeze.

Little Celestial Venerable gritted his teeth and used all his supernatural powers to resist.

His cycle of reincarnation was endless, constantly changing into various forms, until he finally dispelled the power of the ice.

Just when he thought he was about to get close to the Chaos Hole, the power within the Chaos Hole suddenly changed again, instantly transforming into a Heavenly Demon.

Countless illusions arose before the Little Celestial Venerable's eyes, and one after another, celestial demons appeared, rushing up to devour his mind, emotions, and desires.

These celestial demons transformed into demon gods, constantly surging out from the front, and could not be suppressed.

The Little Celestial Venerable immediately activated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, transforming the power of the other three Great Daos into the power of cause and effect.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect unfolded, and in an instant, a spinning wheel appeared in the void.

The Little Celestial Venerable transformed the Great Dao of Cause and Effect into the shape of a spinning wheel, through which countless threads were woven, connecting him to the celestial demons. In the next moment, the Little Celestial Venerable followed the threads of cause and effect, burning away all the celestial demons. He severed the demonic obstacles in his heart, and his Dao heart became extremely calm.

But when he approached the Chaos Hole, the Chaos Hole transformed into the Great Dao of Power.

This Great Dao of Power is different from the Dao that Li Yanchu cultivated by proving himself through power; it includes gravity.

In an instant, Little Celestial Venerable felt as if he were carrying an entire universe on his back, and every step he took was extremely heavy.

Not only that, but the gravity was squeezing in from all directions, and Little Celestial Venerable coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The closer one gets to the Great Dao within this chaotic void, the faster it changes. The Little Celestial Venerable decisively activated his profound power, barely managing to neutralize it with his cultivation.

His talent is indeed extremely high, and not only that, he has also made further progress in the process.

The fusion of three Great Daos makes one many times more powerful than a Dao Lord who has only cultivated four Great Daos!
At this moment, Little Celestial Venerable suddenly let out a long roar. The power emanating from the transformation of the Chaos Cave could no longer harm him and was shattered in response.

He charged right up to the hole.

The chaotic void emitted rays of light and was filled with purple mist, containing a wealth of profound Dao principles.

The young celestial being observed cautiously.

The Little Celestial Venerable immersed his divine sense into the void and discovered that it contained countless rich innate Dao Qi.

In comparison, the innate Dao Qi gathered during the previous cultivation and enlightenment process can be considered extremely thin.

After the Little Celestial Venerable approached the Chaos Cave, he examined it and found that there were no other auras within.

He was surprised.
"What happened? There was clearly a powerful being in the void, but now he's gone. Where did he go?"

As the Little Celestial Venerable was pondering, he suddenly noticed two powerful auras approaching.

He was startled and quickly put the chaotic hole away, putting it into his own cave.

In that instant, countless Dao patterns appeared on the chaotic void.

The Little Celestial Venerable was breathing in and out spiritual energy. Moreover, if he were willing to deduce various Great Daos at this moment, no matter which one he learned, his speed would be terrifying.

But Little Celestial Venerable was in no mood for cultivation at that moment.

He quickly refined the Chaos Void, severed his connection with it using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and erased all traces using the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Although it seemed like a lot of effort was put into this, it also prevented anyone from tracking down his whereabouts.

He vanished without a trace, and the place returned to its original state, without any difference.

The transformation of the Cycle of Reincarnation has indeed been very thorough.

At this moment, a man and a woman walked side by side; they were Yu Shu and Chen Sui, who came from overseas.

Yu Shu frowned and said, "The aura of the Chaos Cave was clearly here before, so how could it suddenly disappear?"

Chen Sui probed the void with his divine sense, which was as thin as a hair yet as sharp as a sword, directly and ruthlessly searching through layers of the void until he reached more than fifty layers without finding anything.

Chen Sui said, "Something must have gone wrong. Can we find their whereabouts?"

Yu Shu shook his head: "Strange, there is no trace here, not even a trace of a void. Obviously, someone has used powerful means to cover it up."

Chen Sui sneered, "To be able to deceive you, this person's methods are extremely amazing. Could it be that person?"

Yu Shu shook his head: "The Great Celestial Venerable is being suppressed by the three great masters and is trapped in the Glazed Realm. He has no time to attend to this place."

"That innate rebel was injured by the Dao Domain Order. In order to avoid exposing his aura, he would absolutely not continue to provoke the Chaos Cave. Although it was a pity for him to lose a mutated universe origin, it was not worth risking his life for it."

Chen Sui frowned and said, "If it's neither the Great Celestial Venerable nor a primordial rebel, could it be Jing Qing?"

Yu Shu said, "Jing Qing clearly received help from the Dao Domain, but I don't know who helped him. However, the fact that he was cultivating in the Chaos Cave means he must be related to that innate rebel. It's very likely that he did it."

The two exchanged a glance and then chased after him together. Finding the Chaos Cave was extremely difficult, but finding Jing Qing was not so hard.

Jing Qing possessed a Dao Domain token, and so did they, so they could naturally detect each other's aura.

Little Celestial Venerable narrowly escaped the search by the two overseas envoys.

It's no wonder that the Dao Lord of the entire Hong Realm was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect him. He is not just the son of the Great Heavenly Venerable; his talent and aptitude are enough to support the future of the Hong Realm.

After obtaining the Chaos Void, Little Celestial Venerable's strength increased terrifyingly.

Now that the spacetime power of the Chaos Hole has been shattered, the spacetime imprints on it have also disappeared, leaving only its original form, which is a mutated cosmic origin. The Dao Qi contained within it is very rich and mature, far more powerful than an immature cosmic origin.

At this moment, the Little Celestial Venerable's Dao power was extremely profound, reaching a realm he had never imagined.

He traveled all the way and unknowingly arrived at a sacred place. The little celestial being's eyes darkened slightly.

This place is the Daosheng Palace at Longfeng Cliff.

However, Li Yanchu and the others were not here; only an unfamiliar Dao Lord from another region remained.

This imposing Dao Lord was a Dao Lord who cultivated the Great Dao of Creation in ancient times, named Dao Lord Yuquan.

During this period, Li Yanchu traveled around, reviving the Dao Lords of foreign lands. He persuaded those he could subdue and sent those he couldn't to be released into the cycle of reincarnation.

He gained more followers, including the Jade Spring Dao Master.

They traveled far and wide, trying to revive the Dao Lords of ancient times, in order to gather more people to fight against the three Dao Lords and change this era.

Master Yuquan remained at the Dao Sheng Palace on Dragon and Phoenix Cliff.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into a familiar face.

Little Celestial Venerable was a prominent figure in the Hong Realm back then, and Jade Spring Daoist was also among the top figures.

The rest of the people weren't even qualified to be stored as food.

Back then, his cultivation was already quite formidable, comparable to that of Master Guo.

At this moment, the Jade Spring Dao Master was fully absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when he suddenly bumped into the Little Celestial Venerable, and his expression immediately changed slightly.

Little Celestial Venerable's eyes flashed with cold light: "Well, Jade Spring Daoist, you've been resurrected too. Li Yanchu, you have quite the audacity."

Master Yuquan smiled and said, "Little Celestial Venerable, if I spread the news that you are here, Brother Li will soon lead his troops to kill you, and I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

Little Celestial Venerable's expression changed slightly. He was indeed somewhat wary of Li Yanchu, especially since there were probably quite a few people gathered around him.

However, the Little Celestial Venerable quickly calmed down. Now that he had obtained the Chaos Cave, his Dao power was extremely strong. Even if Li Yanchu led his troops, they might not be able to do anything to him, let alone fight him alone.

Little Celestial Venerable said coldly, "I never thought that an ancient Dao Lord from another realm would have someone serve as his servant. You call him 'Dao Brother' quite naturally."
