Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 641 Authority and Supernatural Powers?
The third supreme authority—Yuanxu!
Ruins?!
Feeling that familiar wisp of energy amidst the surging, hazy chaos of the world.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu were deeply shaken.

There's no mistake!

That's definitely Yuan!
This Abyss Realm is actually connected to the Abyss?!
That’s not right!

As one of the three strongest realms within the Taiyi Realm, excluding the Taiyi Realm itself, the Yuanxu Realm has reached the Dao Integration level.

In some respects, it even surpasses the previously discovered Yuanzhen Realm.

Previously, when Master/Elder Lingzu explained some precautions during the setup of the Immortal Network connection nodes to them, he had mentioned the relevant content.

Even for a true immortal, it would take considerable effort to create a great world with an energy level reaching the Dao Integration stage from scratch.

The state of being in harmony with the Dao is an extremely special realm.

A cultivator at the Dongzhen level should theoretically be absolutely incapable of creating a Dao-harmonizing Great World in such a short period of time.

Inside the tower.

The Holy Lord of the Void, who was vying for power with his eyes closed, also sensed the intense emotional fluctuations of the two and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

"What's wrong? Is the Third Supreme Authority related to the person you're looking for?"

After a brief silence, Mingyu finally spoke, "I don't know. There should be some connection, but logically it's impossible."

That's a bit of a jumbled mess of words.

But the Holy Lord of Emptiness offered a reminder.

"Perhaps it's the person you're looking for, someone who once changed the Abyss Realm?"

The two were startled.

Suddenly it dawned on me.

indeed!

Why should we believe that Yuan created the Yuanxu Realm?
It's also possible that he intervened during the formation of the Abyss Realm or during its energy level leap, which is why his aura remains in the Abyss Realm...

"Maybe." Ning Wanzhu nodded slightly.

In any case, at least we now have a clear direction.

The Holy Lord of Emptiness smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and continued to vie for power with the Holy Lord of Insight.

This is a rare opportunity.

The Holy Lord of Insight never expected that he would suddenly have two helpers comparable to top-tier 'Ascension Saints' on his side, and suffered a great loss.

But next time, with better precautions, it will be difficult to achieve the same effect as this time.

After all, while there weren't any outsiders in the Holy Lord's camp who could compare to the two outsiders, there were quite a few 'Saints' among them.

For a moment, the tower fell silent.

The Holy Lord of the Void was surrounded by a soft and pure radiant light.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu, who were beside her, also took this opportunity to explore the Abyss Realm.

……

……

More than a month passed like this.

A pure white, slowly rotating prismatic crystal mark gradually formed in the Abyss Ruins.

And those cold, dark purple eyes remained suspended high above.

The Holy Lord of Insight could only watch helplessly as a portion of the 'Abyss Ruins' authority, which he had already gained control of, was forcibly taken away by the Holy Lord of Emptiness.

"Kongji, you've won this time."

The chilling voice echoed throughout the entire Abyss Realm in a strange way.

There was no resentment, no bitterness.

To achieve one's goals by any means necessary is, in his view, a perfectly normal thing.

We learned our lesson this time, so we'll figure out how to be more careful next time.

"Those two Saints who helped you have been exploring the Abyss Realm recently, presumably trying to find something there."

Although Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu tried their best to conceal their thoughts, they still couldn't hide them from him.

"What do you want to say?" the Holy Lord of the Void asked calmly.

"Heh!" The Holy Master of Insight sneered, "I know far more about the person they're looking for than you do."

Ok?
Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu paused, then focused their attention on those eyes.

boom!
In an instant, my mind seemed to appear out of thin air in a gloomy, dark hall.

Demons and ghosts howled all around, and grotesque fallen gods devoured the flesh and blood of great demons. Bone dragons, flowing with filthy black water, darted through the dark clouds.

Inside the main hall, eerie flames flickered, and the pillars on both sides were adorned with reliefs of various ferocious ghosts.

Lifelike, as if it might jump out at any moment and tear you to pieces.

On the highest, pitch-black throne, a young man with dark purple eyes, dressed in a black robe, leaned back, calmly gazing ahead.

The black thorn crown on his head resembled a heavy shadow.

The throne was surrounded by visible distortions, as if it were a manifestation of 'chaos' and 'disorder'.

Soon, he seemed to realize something.

Look up at the main hall.

In an instant, his gaze pierced the vast distance, meeting Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu's eyes directly, a hint of mockery appearing in them.

“I know everything you’re looking for.”

This whisper, seemingly from the abyss, seemed to stir the deepest thoughts in one's heart.

"To bewitch people's hearts."

The peaceful voice rang out, instantly dispelling the bewitching evil power.

"hehe!"

The Holy Lord of Insight's tone remained mocking.

“Kongji, someone like you knows nothing. No wonder you weren’t chosen.”

Selected?

What was selected?
A doubt had just begun to form in my mind.

After saying this, the Holy Lord of Insight seemed to lose interest and waved his hand to cut off the three people's mental probing.

Inside the tower in the core area of ​​the Void Sacred Domain.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu fell silent for a moment, recalling what the Holy Lord Dongming had just said.

“Don’t take his words too seriously,” the Holy Lord of the Void said, looking at the two of them. “He has always been adept at using deceptive words to mislead others.”

Many beings in the Taiyi Realm have been deceived by him.

The two were startled.

Is it really just a charade...?
Mingyu looked at Ning Wanzhu.

Ning Wanzhu paused for a moment, but did not give a reply immediately as she had done before.

Completely opposite to the Holy Lord of Emptiness.

The Insightful Holy Lord, who believed in 'chaos' and 'survival of the fittest,' was, in her perception, pure 'extreme evil.'

At the very least, based on her understanding of good and evil, the Holy Lord of Insight was a completely different 'extremely evil person' from the Holy Lord of Emptiness.

But when the Holy Lord of Insight spoke those words, Ning Wanzhu did not sense any 'deception' whatsoever; all she felt was 'disdain' and 'malice'.

Select, select...

What does this have to do with Yuan?

Of course, it's also possible that the Holy Lord of Insight is special and has managed to deceive himself.

After all, the Taiyi Realm has its own extraordinary system, and the Holy Lord of Insight's cultivation is somewhat higher than his own...

"I see."

Even so, Ning Wanzhu remained cautious and also sent a telepathic explanation to Mingyu.

The Holy Lord of the Void noticed their actions, but didn't pay much attention to them.

They've only known each other for a short time; it would be strange if they believed everything I said.

"Thanks to the help of the two of you, I have obtained some authority over 'Abyss Ruins' this time."

With that, the Void Saint initiated the attack.

A strange power emanated from his palm and gradually spread outwards.

All of a sudden!
The surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, eventually flowing towards her palm like streams of water.

Soon, everything around them surged into the hands of the Void Saint Lord, transforming into a tall black tower entirely inscribed with runes. The three stood in the empty void, surrounded by a profound and desolate abyss.

“I could do it before, but it wasn’t as easy as it is now,” the Holy Lord of the Void explained.

After obtaining a portion of the 'Abyss Ruins' authority, she became even more adept at manipulating space.

Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu stared at the tall tower in her hand without saying a word.

Although the nature of the power is different, the way the power was used just now was undoubtedly the same supernatural power that they were familiar with!
The first divine power that Yuan created after advancing to the Cave True Realm—

One thought makes a thousand things!
……

……

Taixuan Realm, Sword Sect.

Although the flow rate of time is different.

However, under normal circumstances, as long as the world timeline has not been adjusted, the difference in the flow of time within the world will not be too great.

In addition, the energy level of the Taiyi Realm is relatively high.

So nearly a month has passed in the Tai Xuan Realm as well.

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

Three figures were walking along the roadside, surrounded by tourists coming and going.

One of them was Lin Changsheng.

As one of the second batch of ascendants, he was not authorized to accept ascension missions for the time being, so he could only take on some ordinary missions.

However, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, there are very few missions that require you to travel to the stars.

After all, the alien races in the starry sky who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage have more or less learned about the situation of the human race, and are generally quite well-behaved.

As for the Horned Tribe during Zhang Yunlu's previous trials, and the Guiling Thirty-Seventh Planetary System where Chi Jiuyu carried out his mission, those were purely accidental...

The starry sky is so vast that it's normal for there to be some exceptions!
This time, Lin Changsheng's task was to entertain the founder of [Seeking Truth] - True Lord Yi Ming.

Over the past few decades, as [Jingyue] has perfected its layout in the market of low-level cultivators, [Qiuzhen]'s market share has been squeezed, and even its profits have declined year after year.

Recently, [Seeking Truth] has even resorted to a self-destructive tactic of 'price wars'...

However, they were utterly defeated by [Jingyue], which was supported by the Divine Refining Treasure Pavilion.

Because they were really struggling to cope, the founder of [Seeking Truth] contacted other immortal sects besides the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect, preparing to cooperate with them in order to gain the resources to compete with [Pure Moon].

As the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator in the Tai Xuan Realm.

True Lord Yi Ming believed that the other immortal sects would not sit idly by and allow [Jingyue] to dominate the world.

Du Ruoheng assigned this reception task to Lin Changsheng.

Not only are the rewards generous, but the task process is also easy.

In Du Ruoheng's view, Lin Changsheng was not only hardworking, but also had a poor relationship with his own family.

They're practically the best investment choice!
Once he grows up, he can take the opportunity to put those old fogies in the Lin family in a bad way...

Cough!

As the sect leader of the Sword Sect, he certainly couldn't sit idly by!
It can only be said that wherever there are people, there are factions and conflicts of interest.

Although the true immortal ancestors are high above, and their will guides the world forward, such things are still unavoidable...

of course.

Lin Changsheng himself didn't think that much about it.

It's true that some people in the family advised him against taking this mission, saying it was for the sake of the family as a whole...

But after listening to them ramble on and on about family honor and how hard it was for the family to raise you, they didn't give you any resources at all!
They're so stingy, they completely treat him like an idiot!
It's like wanting the horse to run but not wanting it to eat grass!
Hey!
Only an idiot wouldn't answer!
"Young friend, you are a prodigy. To have such cultivation at such a young age is truly ashamed of me."

Yi Mingzhenjun was a kind-looking middle-aged man with a detached look in his eyes that suggested he had seen through the ways of the world.

Although he came to discuss cooperation with the Sword Sect and seek their support, he appeared calm and composed.

"Not at all," Lin Changsheng said modestly. "Senior's cultivation is profound, far beyond what I can match."

"I've only cultivated for a few more years than you," Yi Ming Zhenjun sighed softly. "When I was young, I was far inferior to you."

The two engaged in a back-and-forth exchange of flattery.

These words made the young man next to Yi Mingzhenjun, whose brows were furrowed with arrogance, somewhat unconvinced, his eyes filled with provocation.

Lin Changsheng didn't pay much attention to this.

He had seen that look in his eyes countless times, and none of them could beat him.

Soon, the three arrived at the outer sect master's hall, which was not open to the public, in the latter part of the Sword Sect.

call out!
A sword light descended, revealing an old man with an ethereal and otherworldly air, dressed in a purple-gold robe.

It was Du Ruoheng, the sect leader of the Sword Sect.

He stepped forward and greeted Yi Mingzhenjun.

"It has been many years since we last met, and Senior Yi Ming's cultivation has become even more profound and unfathomable."

That's right, although it is a title of True Lord.

However, True Lord Yi Ming possessed the cultivation level of Tongxuan, and was even one of the best among Tongxuan cultivators.

"With the sect leader's cultivation level, he is only one step away from reaching the Profound Realm," True Monarch Yi Ming replied with a smile. "Moreover, the sect leader's successor is an unprecedented peerless genius."

successor……

Could it be referring to Junior Uncle?

Du Ruoheng's face stiffened.

No!

He's only been the sect leader for a few years!

And why does everyone think that Junior Uncle will be the next sect leader!
But soon, Du Ruoheng regained his composure and looked at the arrogant young man beside Yi Mingzhenjun.

"I am a worthless disciple."

"Junior Zhu Feng greets senior." Zhu Feng bowed respectfully.

He remained very obedient even when facing a powerful figure like the Sword Sect Master.

"good."

Du Ruoheng casually mentioned that he was about to take Yi Ming Zhenjun inside to discuss the cooperation.

"This junior would like to ask Senior Brother Lin for guidance, and hopes that Senior Brother will grant my request," Zhu Feng said again.

He then looked at Lin Changsheng provocatively.

Ok?
"You should ask your senior brother Lin if he's busy or not..." Du Ruoheng also looked at Lin Changsheng.

Lin Changsheng: "..."

To be honest, he didn't want to fight.

After all, this guy is pretty weak. If we really fight, we'll not only have to hold back, but fighting him won't really help him...

Normally, Lao Yue has to pay to fight him even once!

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple..."

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Du Ruoheng's voice transmission in his ear.

'Two catties of Hengyang Origin Iron and eight taels of Xuan Yuan Refined Gold—let's test our skills against this little guy.'

The sect leader is truly wealthy and powerful!
"Disciple obey!"

"I cannot let my young friend guide my disciple for nothing."

Yi Ming Zhenjun took out a bottle of pills, and the medicinal power, through the jade bottle, manifested a phantom image of a phoenix spreading its wings.

I don't recognize it, but it looks like a good product!

"Consider this pill a small token of my appreciation; please do not refuse it, young friend."

For a moment, Lin Changsheng found Zhu Feng much more pleasing to the eye.

　This volume is titled 'The Source of the Way'.

　　The search for the Abyss is just a side story, so it won't be written in too much detail, and the entire process won't be described.

　　After writing the general outline, the focus remains on the main world. Once the plot has progressed sufficiently, I'll revisit it.

　　Probably that's it.

　　By the way, I actually read the comments every day.

　　Dear readers, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

　　Even if I see bad comments, I'll hide under the covers and play some music to cheer myself up.
