Grandpa, times have changed.

"Ancestor Xuanzu!"

The urgent voice traveled through the purple mist into the hall, but it was very faint.

But this did not shake Xuan's resolve. He still had one hand around Gu's neck, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.

"..."

The smile on Gu's face vanished.

"You really want to know?"

"nonsense!"

"..."

Gu closed his eyes, his expression showing a hint of struggle, as if he was hesitating about something.

Xuan is different from the extreme Tai. For the sake of the greater good, He can endure some things and not care about them.

But all of this is predicated on the situation remaining stable.

just now……

The Sword Ancestor obtained the original intent of 'Reason' and destroyed 'Heaven' with a single sword strike, while also eliminating the Heavenly Favor of the Cang Clan.

The situation has collapsed.

It wouldn't be surprising if Xuan did something.

Even if I wanted to tell you, you wouldn't know.

Call ~
Purple energy surged.

Within the rolling sphere, a tiny, formless, boundless, infinitely small yet infinitely vast point emerges.

At first glance, it appears gray and hazy, but upon closer inspection, it shimmers with countless colors, as if it contains everything in the world!
It is as if it itself is a symbol of 'existence' and 'being'.

The beginning of everything, the start of all things.

This corresponds to the original intent of the myriad realms and heavens of the Chaos Sea, 'existence'...

Or it can also be called 'existence'.

Originally, the primordial intention coexists with the innate Daoist, and it is absolutely impossible to separate them by ordinary means.

However, when the Cang Clan suffered a crushing defeat in that battle, and He chose to merge with the past to take control of the past domain of the Tai Xuan Realm from the root level, He lost this original intention.

Separation from the original intention has also become feasible.

"The truth of the past has been buried by the power of Tai Xuan."

Then the original concept of 'existence' floated up and drifted to Xuan's presence.

Xuan ignored him and looked at Him.

"So, back then, it really was you who used the power of Tai Xuan to imprison Tai, and you used the power of Tai Xuan to cover it up?"

"It's not just me, it's..."

Gu continued speaking, but after the words "that was," Xuan felt everything before him become hazy and illusory.

It was as if some omnipresent, supreme power, surpassing even that of enlightened beings, had deliberately erased something.

This is……

The power of the Supreme Mystery?!
When He heard the voice of the ancients again, He found a cold smile on His face.

"I told you, even if I wanted to tell you, you wouldn't know."

"The only way is for you to take the original intention of 'existence' and move further toward the 'source of the Tao'."

"The changes brought about by 'refining the innate from the innate' may not be as significant as those brought about by 'absorbing the innate from the acquired,' but they are enough for you to break free from the shackles of the Tai Xuan authority and understand everything that happened back then."

"Similarly, this is also the only way to fight against the Sword Ancestor!"

next second!
Gu Jiu felt Xuan's hand tighten suddenly, and the great power that completely surpassed Him sealed everything, as if it wanted to completely obliterate Him.

however.

Gu, however, was not worried at all and continued to look at Xuan with a cold smile.

Xuan is very sentimental.

In ancient times, although He did not concern Himself with worldly affairs, He was the most sentimental among them.

Such words might seem strange to someone who has attained enlightenment innately.

But that's just the truth!
Even if it's just for those Cang Clan who follow Him, worship Him, and venerate Him as the Supreme Ancestor.

He wouldn't, and couldn't possibly, take action now!

After all, He had not yet truly ascertained the truth or falsehood of the Sword Ancestor's words, the Cang Clan...

We also need an ancient ancestor who is a naturally enlightened being!

really!

Xuan suddenly released his hand, gave Him a cold look, and directly grasped that point of 'existence' primordial intent until it disappeared.

The billowing purple aura that filled the hall also subsided and dissipated.

A figure stumbled and crawled into the hall, his seven-colored, glassy eyes filled with panic.

Only when he saw that Gu was still unharmed atop the black throne did the panic in his eyes ease, and he cried out in anguish:
“Ancient Ancestor…”

matter……

How did things develop to this point?

“It’s Sheng…”

Gu rose from the pitch-black throne, but closed his eyes, not looking at the Dongzhen Cang clan who had followed him throughout his life, his expression full of exhaustion.

"Go out and wait for my instructions."

Upon seeing such an ancient place, the Dongzhen Cang clansman named Sheng felt a pang of sorrow and couldn't help but shed tears.

This added to the already desolate atmosphere of the Grand Hall of Time.

But He still bowed respectfully and obediently withdrew.

For a moment, only Gu stood in front of the dark throne inside the hall.

According to the human race, what they did to Xuan could perhaps be called 'a gentleman deceives him with reason'.

Can……

After all the scheming and calculation over the years, it was the Sword Ancestor who obtained the original intent of 'reason' and the Mysterious One who obtained the original intent of 'existence,' while he himself ended up with a miserable end.

"Life is unpredictable, life is so unpredictable..."

His expression was grim, as if he were laughing or crying at the same time.

If only I hadn't done that back then.

Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way?

……

……

In the present world, on the central continent. The Sword Sect.

The next morning.

The misty clouds lingered among the mountains, and the strange phenomena that had appeared due to the fall of the Thief Tai Xuan had disappeared, replaced by a light drizzle.

Every drop of rain contains a rich vitality and spiritual essence.

The originally obscure and elusive concept of 'Dao' has become much clearer to the vast majority of practitioners.

In front of the Sword Ancestor's Hall, two figures, one tall and one short, walked up the mountain steps, each carrying an umbrella.

It was Hong Qingchen who was holding Chi Jiuyu's hand, and the two of them were sharing an umbrella.

"This rain is so strange..." Hong Qingchen muttered to himself.

Chi Jiuyu glanced at her.

But then she opened her mouth wide to catch the rain falling from the sky.

"Is it good?"

"Huh?!" Hong Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head. "It's quite sweet!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Jiuyu suppressed his urge to collect some to try, and calmly put away his umbrella, leading her into the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

"Senior sister, why are we using umbrellas?" Hong Qingchen asked, puzzled.

They are all practitioners, and it's impossible for rain to get on them.

"I brought it along, so I just hit it while I was at it," Chi Jiuyu explained casually.

"Oh."

After nodding, she began to look around curiously.

But seemingly out of some concern, the actions were not too obvious.

Chi Jiuyu naturally noticed her little trick, but didn't say anything.

It's normal for kids to be curious.

The reason they came here this morning was because their martial uncle said he wanted to see Xiao Qingchen after he came out of seclusion last night.

So, her master asked her to come along as well.

If Xiao Yunlu hadn't been on a mission and hadn't returned yet, she probably would have come along too.

After all these years, I wonder if my uncle misses me, or if he'll casually send me a big red envelope...

Not long after.

The two then arrived at the dojo deep within the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Upon seeing the figure sitting upright in the center of the dojo, Hong Qingchen finally became a little nervous, and tightened his grip on Chi Jiuyu's small hand.

"Disciple greets Martial Uncle."

Chi Jiuyu bowed respectfully, behaving very honestly.

"Disciple greets Martial Uncle... oh no! Greetings Martial Master!" Hong Qingchen said crisply.

Perhaps due to nervousness, she bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and even got the form of address wrong.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a figure in the center of the dojo stand up and walk over.

Feeling increasingly nervous, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hem of Chi Jiuyu's clothes beside her.

"I was planning to see you last night." Xu Xing knelt down in front of her, "but I thought you should have already rested, so I postponed it until today."

Making a six-year-old child get up in the middle of the night is really a bit silly.

Hong Qingchen blinked.

Perhaps it was because Xu Xing appeared quite approachable that her nervousness suddenly lessened considerably.

"It's okay, we've seen him now."

Xu Xing smiled and reached out to rub her head.

"The title of 'Star Lord' is too heavy a burden for you right now. How about your senior uncle seals it off for you and then gives you a gift?"

"..."

She looked at Chi Jiuyu, and only after receiving an affirming look did she happily say.

"Okay!"

Senior Sister Jiu Yu and her mother both said that Sword Ancestor would never harm her.

next second.

Then, a brilliant cross-shaped mark appeared on Hong Qingchen's forehead, from which a ray of light emerged, transforming into a longsword with a blade that resembled a gradually changing arc of light, which landed in Xu Xing's hand.

This sword is actually part of the [Illusion Star Lord]'s divine power, and can be considered her companion magic weapon. At first, it was just a ball of starlight with a gradient color.

She only became a sword after she chose to become a sword cultivator, and usually she is kept in the 'Illusory Star Realm'.

There is no sword that fits my destiny better than this.

Therefore, although the [Phantom Star Lord] must be sealed, this sword cannot be moved.

Immediately, Xu Xing reached out and wiped her forehead, and the originally dazzling cross-shaped mark disappeared as if it had been erased.

Illusory Star Realm, Illusory Star Dao Body, Evening Phenomenon Revolves with Undying Immortal Light, Transformation from Illusion to Truth, Extinction of Profound Light...

All the powerful supernatural abilities originating from the [Illusion Star Lord] simply vanished and could no longer be sensed, leaving only the Illusion Star Sword in the end.

"Master Uncle..."

Although she had readily agreed, a hint of panic appeared on her little face as she sensed the disappearance of the supernatural power that had accompanied her since birth.

"Don't worry, these supernatural abilities will come back when your cultivation level increases."

"Trust your martial uncle, he won't lie to you."

Chi Jiuyu also offered a word of reassurance.

This put Hong Qingchen at ease, but she still felt a little empty inside.

Xu Xing stood up, a bright pearl shimmering with multicolored light appeared in his hand, and handed it to Hong Qingchen.

Oh!
So it's the World Seed.

Chi Jiuyu understood.

She had previously received one from her master, and after years of nurturing, hers had developed yin and yang, stabilized the five elements, and had the foundation for a transformative grotto-heaven.

In another fifty or sixty years, we should be able to use some of the basic functions of the portable cave.

She was thinking about it when she quickly realized something was wrong.

Ok? !

Shouldn't the world seed be in a state of chaos, without any distinction between yin and yang?

Why can one see the sky, earth, sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers in the talisman that Shishu gave Xiao Qingchen?!
This isn't right! (End of Chapter)
