The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 791 - 334: The Function of One of the Escaped
"Ancestor!"
Seeing the Power of Devouring Rules dissipating in mid-air, Li Qingming felt a sense of loss, originally believing that the Devouring Sky Ancestor had pursued the Great Dao and departed from this Universe Chaos Cosmos long ago, only to find out that even he could not escape a fate of destruction.
It seems the Great Dao is elusive, and the true way is to ceaselessly strive in its pursuit!
Suppressing his sorrow, Li Qingming sat opposite his true self, then unsealed the soul fragments’ Primordial Spirit and let his true Primordial Spirit escape, instantaneously returning to the original body.
"Swish!"
His true self and the soul fragments opened their eyes almost at the same time, they slightly moved their bodies, then studied each other for a long while. The true self, Li Qingming, said, "You’ve heard what the ancestor said just now, there must be a deep meaning for the ancestor to bring the true self here, tell me what you think?"
Soul Fragment Li Qingping bowed his head and pondered for a long while, then said, "The ancestor previously mentioned creatures and bloodlines favored by the Great Dao, such as Pangu. You know, Primordial Innate beings like Fu Xi and Lady Nuwa, though reincarnated from Chaotic Demon Gods, were born in the Primordial Land and their bodies, more or less, carry the bloodline of Pan Gu God. And we, the Human Clan, were originally shaped from Innate Taoist Bodies, also infused with the blood of Lady Nuwa. Could this creature and bloodline favored by the Great Dao be referring to this body of the Human Clan?"
Li Qingming’s eyes shone brightly, "That makes sense, continue."
"As for the aura treasured by the Great Dao, I’m baffled by this statement!" Li Qingping frowned and analyzed calmly, "Ordinarily, since you and I are of one soul, our auras should be the same, so why summon the true self as well? Moreover..."
"Wait, the aura treasured by the Great Dao..." Li Qingming interrupted the soul fragment’s contemplation and suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, "Hongmeng Purple Qi, One of the Escaped!"
"True self, what do you mean?" Li Qingping was also profoundly shaken.
"That’s right!" Li Qingming’s eyes were shining brilliantly, "The Great Dao numbers fifty, fortune manifests forty-nine, One of the Escaped represents the slim chance of survival for all beings. Thus, if the Great Dao treasures any particular aura, it must undoubtedly be the Hongmeng Purple Qi that escaped back then!"
As soon as Li Qingming finished speaking, Li Qingping’s expression became solemn, "True self, I am willing to forsake the physical body to achieve your path to enlightenment!"
Li Qingming fell silent for a long moment, then solemnly said, "Although you were created by me, I will not let your Saint cultivation go to waste just like that. You should first regulate your Primordial Spirit, and once I recondense a body, we can merge with your body!"
With that, Li Qingming pointed towards the Heavenly Vault with one hand, and the sky suddenly cracked, and the ancient Qiankun Tripod emerged into existence.
With a soft "thud," black flames ignited under the Qiankun Tripod beneath the boundless Heavenly Vault. Threads and wisps of nature’s spiritual energy flew from all directions, impoured into the Qiankun Tripod.
Then, Li Qingming swung his right hand, and a large piece of Nine Heavens Breath Soil along with dozens of drops of Three Light Divine Water, Ginsengfruit, Ten-Grade Pure World White Lotus...along with three drops of Heart Blood Essence from Li Qingming’s true self were fused into the Qiankun Tripod to begin a breathtaking refinement.
...
Endless Huaxia Land, Penglai Immortal Island.
Just as the Devouring Sky Ancestor tore open the spatial rift and with supreme might seized the true self of Li Qingming, the entire Penglai Island suddenly experienced a violent surge of spiritual energy, and the weather changed dramatically.
On the island, all Spiritual Birds and Immortal Beasts were tremendously frightened, unable to move an inch, while Chi Hong, Qing Han, and Zihan who were left to guard the Penglai Immortal Island looked up to the sky outside the Vitality Hall, their Daoist robes billowing, faces devoid of any fear.
"What’s going on? How could this power have penetrated through the array set up by the master?" Chi Hong frowned and spoke.
Qing Han’s tender little face was filled with solemnity as she said, "Could it be that someone is attacking Penglai Island? After all, our disciples in Penglai Island are unparalleled in the Primordial Continent, and it’s inevitable to encounter some blind foes!"
Zihan bit her little finger and took over the conversation, "I think we should send a message to Sister Yu Lian. Before she left, Sister Yu Lian instructed us to immediately inform her if anything happened on the island."
"Boom!"
At that moment, a pitch-black thunder slashed across the sky, striking towards the rear hall of the Vitality Hall, and then the dark clouds dissipated as if nothing had happened.
The three children were shocked by the sight, and Chi Hong shouted, "That’s not good, the direction that the thunder struck seems to be where the master is in seclusion!"
"Let’s go, check it out quickly!" Before Zihan could finish, she grabbed Qing Han by the side, transformed into a tunneling white light, and flew towards the Vitality Hall.
The rear hall of the Vitality Hall was filled with numerous prohibitions, all arranged by Li Qingming based on the Upper Pure Formation. Let alone Saints, even Great Powers at the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm wouldn’t dare to easily step in here.
The three children, following the Breaking Array Method left by Li Qingming, carefully bypassed those prohibitions. Only when they saw the intact rear hall doors, did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Qing Han seemed to be smug as she glanced at Chi Hong, saying, "See, I told you there was nothing! Those who could penetrate directly through the array into Penglai Island simply do not exist!"
Chi Hong ignored her and closed his eyes as if sensing something.
After a short moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Something’s wrong, it seems like a real problem occurred! Zihan, quickly, send a message to Sister Yu Lian, it’s best if she comes back once to open this chamber’s door!"
"You crazy toad!" Qing Han glared at Chi Hong, saying, "Before the master went into seclusion, he had told us that unless there was a matter concerning the life and death of Penglai Island, the chamber’s door must never be opened, otherwise, the master’s life would be at risk!"
"Flea-bird, shut up!" Chi Hong yelled, "With such a strong presence of Space Power, do you think it would be alright? Something must have happened inside this chamber!"
"Stop arguing, both of you! I have already sent out the news of what happened on the island, but there was no reply!" Zihan, unable to bear their loud squabbling, interrupted somewhat vexedly.
"Hmph, no reply, huh? Then we can only wait!" Chi Hong snorted coldly, gave Qing Han a sidelong glance, and sat cross-legged in front of the door alone to wait.
...
How could there be a reply, when Wanling Pass was currently in total chaos?
After several preliminary probing attacks that yielded no results, the Chasing Daoists began to escalate their actions. From initially more than ten thousand people, the numbers surged dramatically to over fifty million.
More than fifty million, all of whom were beyond the Quasi-Saint Realm, led by over a hundred Late Sub-Saints Great Powers formed peculiar attack formations, turned into tiger-shaped fierce beasts, and launched a fierce attack on Wanling Pass.
All the Saints leapt up onto the city walls, directing their disciples to defend, and the disciples of Penglai Island were at the forefront; where would the Fairy Yu Lian find the time to reply to them?
