When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1326 - 852: Houtu’s True Form (Part 2)
Wu Mengqian was startled and quickly raised her head, saying: "Elder..."
She looked at Wu Zhejiu in panic.
The Forgotten Heavenly Dao, to make her forget all the memories of Wufeng?
This was unacceptable to her.
Because she still held that man dear in her heart, and she had answers to seek. If she forgot just like that, she would never be at peace in her life.
But Wu Zhejiu gave her no chance to resist, as the stone ring in his palm already emitted a powerful Heavenly Dao Laws, which instantly struck Wu Mengqian!
Buzz!
The powerful force of forgetfulness made Wu Mengqian’s whole body tremble, her gaze becoming dazed and ethereal.
She raised her head, slightly opening her mouth, wanting to say something, but she had already forgotten what it was, like a walking corpse, pale as paper.
"Someone, take her away and transform her properly, let her understand her identity!" Wu Zhejiu ordered.
"Yes!"
Soon a man dressed in black stepped forward and took Wu Mengqian away.
After handling everything, Wu Zhejiu leaped towards the city of Jinsha, disappearing into the void, and reappearing on top of a sand dune.
"Greetings, Your Lordship."
Wu Zhejiu slightly bent forward in respect.
On the sand dune, sat a silhouette, appearing exceptionally towering, like a golden War God, with a powerful aura swirling around, even affecting the surrounding void.
The highest ruler of the Dao Palace, the true Houtu!
"Didn’t succeed?"
The silhouette spoke.
His voice was distant and ethereal, echoing through the heavens and the earth, exceedingly ancient, as if it belonged to an elder weathered by time, crossing through spacetime, endured the vicissitudes of Mountains and Rivers, rolling in, deeply moving the heart and soul.
"Forgive me, my Lord, we made a miscalculation, did not expect this person not to be Wufeng."
Even as a late-stage Ancestral Dao master, Wu Zhejiu was extremely respectful before Houtu, restraining the arrogance in his being.
"Not Wufeng?"
Houtu’s voice suddenly rose.
Wu Zhejiu was so overwhelmed by that voice that cold sweat trickled down his spine, only recovering to find his back drenched.
He fell to his knees with a thud, pleading: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, my Lord."
Houtu was immensely powerful, his every word and action seemed integrated with heaven and earth, every sentence representing the Heavenly Dao, infeasible to defy.
In the face of such a terrifying force, Wu Zhejiu felt incredibly insignificant.
He was a late-stage Ancestral Dao expert, standing at the pinnacle of cultivation, within the whole Edge Corner Airspace there were hardly any mightier than him.
Yet, facing Houtu, he still trembled in fear.
This was Houtu’s strength.
Wu Zhejiu composed himself, hurriedly recounting the events in full detail.
Having spoken, he kept his head low, not daring to breathe loudly, awaiting his fate quietly.
Houtu did not speak, merely pondering.
Wu Zhejiu dared not urge, still kneeling there.
The process of waiting was excruciating, in Wu Zhejiu’s view, it felt as if hundreds of years had passed, yet in reality, it was just a quarter-hour.
"He is not Wufeng, should be a descendant of Wufeng, also a very special human." Houtu spoke slowly.
"A special human?"
Wu Zhejiu was slightly taken aback, not understanding the meaning.
"If I am not mistaken, he should be Wufeng’s grandson, no more than thirty years old."
Wu Zhejiu exclaimed in astonishment: "How is it possible? How could someone under the age of thirty have such formidable ability? He is in the Ancestral Dao Realm! How could he step into the Ancestral Dao Realm before thirty?"
Wu Zhejiu could not believe this fact, having sparred with the young man earlier, the opponent, though only at mid-stage Ancestral Dao cultivation, exerted significant pressure on him, due to this immense power of the opponent, he didn’t linger in battle.
He presumed this person to be at least a Thousand-Year-Old master, how could he be less than thirty?
"When Wufeng led the Human Race into seclusion, a more powerful and mysterious figure aided him, Wufeng’s grandson should’ve been born then, and through some means, eluded the surveillance of the Heavenly Dao in Edge Corner Airspace, I have a feeling, Wufeng’s grandson, highly likely originates from..."
Houtu stopped, suddenly not continuing, seemingly pondering something.
"Who is that mysterious figure? Could there be someone in the Human Race stronger than Wufeng?" Wu Zhejiu asked in amazement.
Wufeng, in his eyes, was already remarkably powerful, if not reliant on ancestral artifacts, he would certainly not be Wufeng’s match. Even with ancestral artifacts, his chances of victory were slim, back then Wufeng, with a sword single-handedly stormed Common Valley, slaying many Ancestral Dao masters, and that prestige still intimidated him.
"The Human Race is never as simple as it appears."
"That mysterious figure, could it be Father Pu?" Wu Zhejiu continued to inquire.
"No, Father Pu is now insignificant, but that person is more powerful than Father Pu, yet later disappeared, I believe he and Wufeng did something significant, Heavenly Dao! They tampered with the Heavenly Dao! If I’m not wrong, the end of the world is their destination." Houtu said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhejiu’s face changed again, saying: "The end of the world?"
Houtu nodded slightly.
Wu Zhejiu further questioned: "Shouldn’t we do something about it?"
Houtu lifted his head, golden light flickering in his eyes, saying: "I have not yet fully merged with the Heavenly Dao, currently at a crucial cutoff, I need time, cannot leave, matters in Edge Corner Airspace, are under your full control."
Wu Zhejiu hesitantly stated: "But my Lord, currently many races are starting to oppose us, covertly or overtly attacking our people, the situation is becoming dire. They disregard the rules we set, the dynasty we created is on the brink of collapse."
"They cannot stir waves, after a while, when I emerge from seclusion, then—"
Houtu’s voice turned exceedingly cold and sharp:
"Everyone will once again bow beneath my feet!"
A majestic aura surged within him, rolling forth, and suddenly golden formation patterns appeared in the void, all containing immense power of laws, belonging to the Heavenly Dao!
Those formation patterns connected with him, as if merging with his soul!
In his fury, even the Heavenly Dao was evoked, as if he became the vessel of the Heavenly Dao, capable of controlling myriad laws!
The might of his fury, was terrifying beyond compare!
Wu Zhejiu, listening to that rolling voice, had his soul cleansed, gazing reverently!
The anxiety in his heart finally eased, his eyes filled with reverence for Houtu.
This is the only True God in the world!
With Houtu here, no one dares to behave recklessly!
In his eyes, any opposing race, was merely a clown!
After all, being able to severely injure Wufeng back in the day, it was still Lord Houtu’s handiwork, had it not been for Lord Houtu needing to merge Dao, he could even have killed Wufeng!
Wu Zhejiu’s mood was similarly uplifted by Houtu’s domineering presence.
The Dao Palace would never perish!
"Any news on the ancestral artifact fragments I asked you to find?" Houtu inquired again.
"I am incompetent, not yet." Wu Zhejiu responded.
"You must find the Chaos Realm Tree and Withered Spirit at the End fragments, these two ancestral artifacts are extremely important to me!" Houtu stated.
"Yes! Understood!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Wu Zhejiu respectfully responded.
But at this moment, suddenly a breath soil glow flashed over, landing beside Wu Zhejiu, then transformed into a phantom, it was an Ancestral Dao Realm master.
"Elder, the City of No Pretense seems to have the ancestral artifact fragments we’ve been searching for!"
"What?" Wu Zhejiu exclaimed, asking, "What do the ancestral artifact fragments look like?"
The breath soil quickly unfolded into a scene, surprisingly displaying the full view of the City of No Pretense.
They saw two fragments suspended on the city walls, and Wu Zhejiu was suddenly stunned!
"The Chaos Realm Tree and Withered Spirit at the End fragments!"
Wu Zhejiu looked ecstatic!
