Chapter 729: Yu Guang’s Enlightenment, the Dilemma of the Immortal Court

Han Yi's aura was revealed through his invisible Taoist magic along the way, and it was difficult for anyone other than an outsider to detect his aura.

Only when he got close to Suizhu Xianting did he release his breath.

Sensing his breath, three auras appeared one after another in the Immortal Court and on Suizhu Mountain, causing drastic changes in the laws inside and outside the Immortal Court.

But immediately, all the breath suddenly retracted downwards, restrained and converged.

However, the instantaneous change just now has already aroused the vigilance and attention of the monks in the Immortal Court.

"What's going on? It's the aura of Daozu, and it's so powerful. Could it be that Daozu from Purgatory Island passed by?"

"Hmph, those bastards from Purgatory Island actually dared to step into my Immortal Court. When the Heavenly Lord returns, I will make sure they are punished."

"The last time the Void Demon Palace invaded, it was fortunate that Daozu Yuguang took action and activated a large formation to repel the invading Daozu. But for our Immortal Court, the situation is not good now. We need to proceed step by step and not be reckless."

In the Immortal Court, seven or eight Immortal Lords gathered above a dozen world heavens, all with extremely solemn expressions. Among these Immortal Lords were the oldest Daoling, Wanchuan, Hongwu, as well as the newcomers such as Yuanshu, Yuansui, Yuqin and others who have been promoted in recent years.

At this time, Yuan Shu frowned and asked doubtfully:

"The aura that flashed by just now is a bit like the aura of Han Yi Daozu."

When he said this, the immortals were slightly stunned, and then they reacted.

"It is a bit similar, but it happened too quickly and is not clear. Could it be that Taoist Han Yi has returned?" Immortal Daoling's face showed a slight joy.

"If Taoist Master Han Yi returns, he will definitely be able to resolve the current predicament of the Immortal Court." Immortal Master Yuan Sui said excitedly.

Han Yi's aura just now flashed by, and it was much stronger than before, so that even the Immortal Lord who was familiar with him did not think about it in this way for a moment.

Among these immortals, the one who was most familiar with Han Yi's aura was Immortal Yuanshu, so he was the first to raise this doubt.

The other Immortal Lords reacted and thought about it carefully, only to find that this possibility was very high.

Their faces began to turn from gloomy to bright, and thinking of the legend about Han Yi in the Immortal Palace, they couldn't help but feel excited. They looked at Suizhu Mountain, knowing that if Han Yi returned at this moment, he would definitely be on Suizhu Mountain, so they didn't want to disturb the conversation of the Taoist ancestors.

In fact.

As they thought, Han Yi was in the Suizhu Palace at this moment.

The reason why he did not make a big fanfare was because he did not know the specific situation in the Immortal Court at present. Therefore, he only showed his aura for one ten-thousandth of a second to let his senior brothers Xuanzang and Wanjie in the Immortal Court know that he was back.

If the Immortal Court needs him to publicize his return in the future, he naturally has other ways to do it. If not, he can use it as a secret move to achieve the effect of surprise.

Seeing Han Yi, Dao Ancestor Wanjie was overjoyed, while Dao Ancestor Xuanzang's pupils shrank, his heart was shaken, and he was the first to exclaim in a low voice:
"Junior Brother Han, have you achieved Dao Fruit?"

At this time, Wanjie finally reacted. He felt the aura of the perfect Dao fruit on Han Yi, which was the same as his own. He then spoke out: "The aura of the perfect Dao fruit, and it is much stronger than mine. Junior brother, have you really reached the Dao fruit?"

Dao Ancestor Wanjie looked ecstatic.

Han Yi glanced at the three people standing in front of him, nodded, and his eyes moved slightly.

The first person he looked at was the third person in the hall besides Xuanzang and Wanjie. He had met this person several times, and thousands of years ago, he went to the Yongzhi World with him. He was none other than Yuguang Immortal Venerable of Suizhu Immortal Court.

No, the aura on Yu Guang at this moment was no longer that of an Immortal Lord, but that of a Daoist. Although it was only an ordinary Daoist realm and he should have just broken through not long ago, it still surprised Han Yi slightly.

A word flashed through his mind.

Daozi.

Son of Heaven.

This is a kind of genius that has appeared in many worlds after the explosion of the Dao Tomb. This kind of genius has been blessed by heaven and has good luck. Their cultivation speed is extremely fast, especially before the Dao realm, they can quickly cross over.

Now it seems that this Yu Guang should be one of the Dao sons of the ancient world.

"Brother Xuanzang, Brother Wanjie, I'm back."

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for thousands of years, Junior Brother Yu Guang has already advanced to the Dao Realm. This is truly cause for celebration."

Han Yi first bowed to Xuanzang and Wanjie, then looked at Taoist Yuguang and congratulated him with a smile.

Seeing Xuanzang and Wanjie's excited faces, still waiting for his answer, he nodded:

"What the two Dao brothers said is correct. This time, I had a great opportunity to go out, which allowed me to advance to Dao Fruit in such a short time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zang's heart slowly settled down.

Wanjie was even more direct. The aura on his body was originally connected with the Ancient Candle Dao Formation. At this moment, his mood was turbulent, causing his aura to change, which also affected the Dao Formation, causing a flurry of changes inside and outside the Immortal Court.

This change in the situation was noticed by the immortals on more than a dozen worlds outside Suizhu Mountain, and they began to speculate again.

Inside the Candle Palace.

Wanjie Daozu's face was so excited that he could hardly hold back. He looked at Han Yi and said heavily:

"Okay, okay, great."

His three words "good" fully expressed his expectations and admiration for Han Yi.

Han Yi accepted this expectation with a smile.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. According to what he currently knows, the Immortal Lord Suizhu has not returned, which means that he should be the strongest among the Immortal Court. He is willing to take on the responsibility of protecting the Immortal Court.

"Congratulations to Brother Wanjie for finally condensing the Dao Fruit and breaking through to a new realm."

Han Yi's eyesight improved a lot as his realm improved. He could tell at a glance that among the three people in front of him, Wanjie had broken through the Dao Fruit realm not long ago, and because of his profound foundation, he quickly stabilized his realm. As for Xuanzang Daozu, although thousands of years had passed since he was seriously injured and fell, his injuries had not yet fully recovered. He was only at the Dao Fruit level, far from the peak level.

Wanjie Daozu quickly regained his composure, although the light in his pupils was still rippling, showing that he was still unable to calm down inside.

Daozu Yuguang bowed to Han Yi and said:

"Meet Brother Han Yidao."

"Brother Dao is the pillar of the Immortal Court. Now that he has returned, even though the Celestial Venerable is still away, we no longer have to worry about some villains invading our territory."

Daozu Yuguang's face was calm, but he was greatly shocked in his heart.

He studied special Taoist scriptures, among which was a technique of sensing, which made him extremely sensitive in predicting danger.

Just now he subconsciously used this sensing technique to sense Han Yi, but found that Han Yi was like an invincible abyss, and his aura was extremely terrifying. This kind of horror was much more terrifying than the many outer Dao realm masters he had seen when he went to the Eastern Realm to transcend Dao Hen before.

In other words, Han Yi's combat power is definitely far beyond the Daoguo realm, and is even much stronger than the ordinary outer Dao realm.

Daozu Yuguang had never seen a Dao Master in the Hedao Realm, and therefore, he could not compare Han Yi with the Dao Master, but he felt that Han Yi's strength was very likely close to or even reached the Hedao Realm level.

Taoist Xuanzang moved his gaze to Taoist Yuguang, and then returned to Han Yi.

After the second expedition to the world of wisdom, he began to doubt Han Yi's identity as the son of the ancient world, and now, this suspicion has been confirmed.

Because in the ancient world, the few known Daoists have not improved as fast as Han Yi, and the strongest one has only just entered the Dao realm.

Before Daozu Xuanzang was injured, he had reached the peak of Dao Fruit and had a certain degree of confidence in breaking through the outer path. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Han Yi's aura was strong at this moment. Even among Dao Fruit cultivators, he was equivalent to those Dao Fruit cultivators who had practiced for half of the Chaos Era. He was definitely not as simple as a beginner in Dao Fruit.

In addition, Han Yi has always had the terrifying ability to kill enemies above his level. For example, he once killed the Daozu Wanchao who was in the Daoguo realm with an ordinary Dao realm. Now that he has broken through to the Daoguo realm, does it mean that he is not afraid of outsiders and can even kill them in battle?

If this is what he guessed, then Han Yi's return is like a shot in the arm for the Immortal Court.

"Okay, let's sit down first. Now that Junior Brother Han has returned, I will have to entrust the heavy responsibility of the Immortal Court to you."

Taoist Master Xuanzang asked everyone to sit down, and he also sat on the cushion that belonged to him. Wanjie, Yuguang and Han Yi also sat on their own cushions.

After hundreds of years, Han Yi sat here again.

Immediately, he looked at Daozu Wanjie and asked, "Daoist Brother Wanjie, when I came back, I had a rough understanding of the current situation in the Great Ancient World, but I don't know the details. What arrangements does the Immortal Court have now?"

Wanjie Daozu's face was solemn: "Don't be impatient, just listen to me and I will explain it slowly."

"The story begins two hundred and fifty years ago, when the strange phenomenon of the fall of the Celestial Lord occurred in the East Emperor Demon Court..."

When mentioning the 'fall of the Celestial Lord', not only Daozu Wanjie had a solemn expression, but Xuanzang and Yu Guang also had the same expression. Even Yu Guang, who had just been promoted to the Dao realm not long ago, had a look of horror in his eyes. However, not long after he was promoted to the Dao realm, he happened to encounter the fall of the Celestial Lord. The scene of the whole Dao grieving together had a great impact on him.

Although Han Yi had known about the fall of Donghuang Taiyi from many incarnations of the Immortal Lord, what he heard from Wanjie Daozu, who was in the Dao Fruit Realm, was more specific, as if he was there in person.

"After that, the next year, a celestial master returned. The first one to return was the Demon Master of the Great Freedom Demon Heaven from Kunlun Realm. The second one was... the island master of Purgatory Island."

"A hundred years later, in the entire ancient world, apart from the great Celestial Lord from Kunlun Mountain who has not returned, there is no news about the Celestial Lord Suizhu."

"Since then, up to today, one hundred and fifty years have passed. Although Purgatory Island and Void Demon Palace are afraid of the Heavenly Lord, the two Heavenly Lords have not personally taken action to overthrow our Immortal Court, but the Dao Realms of these two forces have repeatedly violated our borders. The most recent one was seven years ago."

"Seven years ago, the third elder of the Void Demon Palace arrived at the northern border. Junior Brother Yu Guang happened to be out of retreat. He and I activated the formation and attacked from a distance, forcing the third elder of the Void Demon Palace to retreat."

At this point, Wanjie Daozu paused, his face worried as he said, "Suizhu Mountain has the Heavenly Venerable's seal and there are no anomalies, which proves that Heavenly Venerable is fine. Therefore, no matter whether it is the Lord of Purgatory Island or the Lord of Void Demon Palace, they will not personally take action to deal with the Immortal Court."

"But the Dao Realm existence of these two forces does not have this concern. I am worried that if the Ruxian Court is not strong enough, the situation will gradually get out of control as time goes by."

“Even by then, there might be a peak-level Dao realm who breaks into the Immortal Court, kills or destroys everything, and then walks away.”

“As for the Ancient Candle Dao Formation, although it is not afraid of ordinary Dao Realms, even Dao Fruit Realm and ordinary Outer Dao Realm can resist it when it is fully operational. But if a Dao Master of the He Dao Realm comes, the inner and outer Daos are completely united, and the strength is only one step behind that of the Heavenly Venerable, even with the Ancient Candle Dao Formation, the master’s strength is too weak and cannot resist it.”

After hearing this, Han Yi probably had a clearer understanding of the current concerns of the Immortal Court.

In the secular world, there is a saying that little ghosts are difficult to deal with. If we substitute the current situation of Suizhu Xianting, the Taoist realms of Purgatory Island and Xumo Palace are "little ghosts". Although this metaphor is not particularly appropriate, it does make sense.

Unlike the Donghuang Demon Court, where the strange phenomenon of the fall of Tianzun broke out and the fall of Donghuang Taiyi was confirmed, the Suizhu Fairy Court is still calm, but as long as Tianzun has not returned, variables will always exist.

The Tianzuns of other forces, if the difference in strength is not too big, will not attack Suizhu unless they have completely fallen out with each other. After all, once they attack, Suizhu Tianzun will retaliate in kind when he returns. If a Tianzun attacks, even if they are both Tianzuns and the difference in strength is not too big, it will be difficult for them to protect the Taoist monks and low-level immortals of their own forces.

By then, the forces that took action would either move away from the ancient world and escape into chaos, or be destroyed by the actions of the Heavenly Venerable. Even if the Heavenly Venerable did not die, he would be left alone.

This is also the reason why beings at the Tianzun level will not easily attack forces of the same level.

But the fact that Tianzun does not take action does not mean that the Dao realm or low-level immortals will not take action. In fact, if these Dao realm immortals take action, it may be with Tianzun's tacit consent.

For example, if the Dao Realm of Xu Mo Palace can kill the Dao Ancestor of Sui Zhu Xian Ting, and the Dao Ancestor of Sui Zhu Xian Ting is unable to fight back, even if he waits for Sui Zhu Xian Ting to return, he generally will not attack other Dao Realms unless he is forced into a desperate situation.

And because of this, Suizhu Xianting is now in trouble.

Daozu Xuanzang's injuries have not yet healed. Although Daozu Wanjie has achieved a breakthrough in Dao Fruit, his combat power is not strong and he cannot kill enemies across levels. As for the newly promoted Daozu Yuguang, although he has great potential, he is unable to transform his potential into strength at the Dao realm. Therefore, he can only play an assisting role in the Immortal Court and cannot become a true pillar of the sky.

There was a certain amount of luck in defeating the third elder of the Void Demon Palace seven years ago. If the other party had been prepared, we might not be able to force him back if we attack again. By then, except for the area near Suizhu Mountain, other fairyland areas in the fairy court would most likely become hunting grounds for the Taoist realms of other forces.

At the level of Tao, taking a step back means being weak in all aspects. Then other forces will come like sharks smelling blood, and while the Heavenly Venerable is still here, they will tear a piece of flesh and blood from the Immortal Court.

Seeing that Han Yi had almost digested it, Wanjie Daozu looked solemn and asked a question that he cared about the most.

"Junior Brother Han, if a peak outsider or even a combined one attacks, are you sure you can stop them?"

His question made Xuan Zang and Yu Guang both worried. (End of this chapter)
