Chapter 409

The old man in purple heard this, took a fierce gulp of wine, and then directly extended three fingers, which made the heads of the major Dao sects present show expressions of indifference.

"It's just thirty thousand heavenly crystals, right? Here!"

The head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, wearing the Eight Trigrams Diagram, spoke solemnly.

Cough cough cough...

The old man in purple nearly choked on the wine in his mouth upon hearing this, spraying it directly from his nostrils, then abruptly lifted his head, his face full of shock as he stared at the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, as if staring at an idiot.

"As the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, you're doing business in the Universe Cultivation World.

You say three fingers represent thirty thousand heavenly crystals—truly, your vision is astonishingly narrow.

I, old man, don't even stop at thirty thousand heavenly crystals for a single mouthful of wine.

What, is a single mouthful of wine from a Purple Mansion cultivator not worth anything?"

The old man in purple's face darkened, and he spoke disdainfully.

"Junior of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, at this special moment,

I especially wish to express my deep condolences for your mother's passing.

I know your situation as the new head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is dire, but remember, you are not alone on your path.

The Purple Mansion cultivators will surely provide you with full support and comfort.

Your mother was an existence of immeasurable value; she devoted her life to the entire Universe Cultivation World to give birth to you.

Her role in the Universe Cultivation World is unshakable, and I am deeply moved by the wisdom your mother bestowed upon you.

As head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, you must inherit your mother's damn wisdom, courage, and love, and never forget to pass it on to your descendants.

No cultivator can avoid the pain of losing their mother, feeling loneliness and despair.

You must never forget to seek powerful aid from the Purple Mansion cultivators.

Head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the cultivators of the Universe have worried themselves sick over your intelligence, all companions who have shared your growth through countless extremely difficult times.

Your mother is dead, but we are here—we will mourn your mother, you bastard.

Finally, may the departed rest in peace.

Do not let your utter stupidity cause your mother to die without peace."

Seeing the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion feign ignorance, the old man in purple simply unleashed his ultimate move.

He clasped his hands together before his chest, performing a sincere and earnest prayer.

Each of his words transformed into rippling circles that spread throughout the entire star field, resoundingly loud; aside from the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the leaders of all major Dao sects listened, stunned.

They never expected the old man in purple, as the mighty leader of the Purple Mansion sect, to pull off such a stunt; even his vicious, insulting words were delivered with vivid precision.

"Old man in purple, you've gone too far, huh.

Head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, your mother has been dead for how many years?

And now you're only mourning her—too late."

The head of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion chimed in from the side, teasing.

Although the major Dao sects appear united on the surface, all the sect leaders know the truth.

For the benefit of the Universe Cultivation World, there are irreconcilable grudges between the sects; the world often unites for profit, allies for profit, and splits for profit.

"You bastard."

The head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion flew into a rage.

How could he endure such utter humiliation, especially before the leaders of all major Dao sects? If he didn't save face today, wouldn't he be secretly mocked by the sect leaders?

Moreover, he has long held a grudge against the Purple Mansion over the righteous sects' siege of the Qingpurity Sect.

It wasn't that the Purple Mansion defected; facing the siege of over ten thousand cultivators from the righteous alliance, how could the Qingpurity Sect possibly win? With so many powerful cultivators, not even ten Qingpurity Sects would stand a chance—he would trample them flat.

Yet the Purple Mansion chose to defect at the critical moment, causing hearts to scatter.

It wasn't that the Purple Mansion led the charge to seize territories in the Primordial Spirit Realm from all major powers, or else the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion would not have lost so many bases and divine treasures, falling into the hands of evil forces.

During this time, the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion have been pressuring him, urging him to quickly recover the losses.

The head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had great difficulty convincing the sect leaders to come to this star field to discuss the Primordial Spirit Realm matter concerning the Qingpurity Sect, yet the old man in purple, upon appearing, secretly stirred trouble—clearly, his intentions are impure.

The old man in purple further insulted him with cutting words, giving him no face at all; the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could bear it no longer.

The head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, wearing the Eight Trigrams Diagram, erupted with aura, the Eight Trigrams Seal shaking the Universe Cultivation World, stirring the eight directions; the violent killing intent made the entire star field tremble violently.

In an instant, countless star rivers were annihilated at this moment, the destructive force sweeping straight toward the old man in purple.

Hmph.

The old man in purple let out a low, cold snort, opening his mouth to spit out a mist of wine.

Within the wine mist, mysterious runes rolled, causing the power of the surrounding star fields to frenziedly converge; boundless purple qi illuminated the mortal world, showing no weakness as it collided with the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Boom.

The terrifying explosion echoed throughout the Universe Cultivation World, the violent force shattering the void of the star field, void storms materializing all around, frantically devouring everything in the star field.

However, as the raging void storm approached the leaders of the major Dao sects, it vanished without a trace.

"Enough."

Seeing the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion showing signs of defeat, the master of Lu Yan Valley let out a terrifying roar in midair, the mighty Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Fire burning the sky and boiling the earth, directly separating the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and the old man in purple.

"Want to play favorites?

The two of you together—what's there to fear?"

The old man in purple's body suddenly tensed, a soaring aura radiating from him, instantly dispelling his previous carefree demeanor.

"Assistant!

Do not forget the purpose of this alliance meeting.

Are we really going to repeat the failure of the Eight Great Sects' siege of the Qingpurity Sect?" The master of the Taiyin Holy Sect flashed a cold light in his eyes, impatiently bellowing.

"Old man in purple, if the Qingpurity Sect grows strong, the Purple Mansion will also suffer adverse effects."

You don't want that mysterious technique falsely claiming to be from a Purple Mansion cultivator.

This seat observes that his technique shares a marvelous similarity with the Purple Mansion inheritance, and merely at the Purple Origin level, it already surpasses the Purple Mansion by far.

Don't you want to seize this opportunity?

The Taiyin Holy Lord stared at the Purple Old Man, his complexion gradually returning to calm, enticing as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Old Man's originally turbid eyes instantly cleared, and his entire being radiated an unparalleled aura.

The senior figures of the major sects across Huanyu all know that if he cannot break through the realm barrier within three hundred years, his fate is death.

The Purple Mansion has deep foundations to rely on, but his descendants are another matter.

Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he has advanced triumphantly, trampling over countless heavenly pride's corpses, offending many major powers of Huanyu.

The Purple Old Man can imagine that when his lifespan is exhausted, he will bring terrifying calamity upon his lineage.

"The first layer of the Giant Spirit Realm's Primordial Spirit Domain allows a maximum cultivation level of only the Earth Origin Realm.

Even if I wished to, I cannot interfere.

Do you have a plan?" The Purple Old Man put aside his earlier frivolous demeanor and gazed seriously at the Taiyin Holy Lord.

"The Primordial Spirit Domain's realm barriers exist only due to the influence of the Primordial Domain's forbidden laws.

As long as the major Dao lineages are willing to pay a certain price.

This seat has carefully arranged for the disciples of the Tianji Shengyu to traverse the Primordial Spirit Domain.

In one stroke, eliminate all cultivators of the Shangqing Sect." The Taiyin Holy Lord's eyes flashed with a forest of killing intent, his confident voice echoing throughout the star field.

This caused the masters of the major Dao lineages present to fall into deep thought, for resisting the Primordial Spirit Domain's forbidden laws is no trivial matter; a slight misstep could result in at least severe injury and near death.

The Taiyin Holy Lord said to pay a certain price, and that price will certainly not be trivial.

On Earth, Longyuan Mountain has floating colorful clouds, spirit birds soaring, and a rich floral fragrance drifting in the air, refreshing the mind and delighting the spirit.

"Reporting to the Demon Master, this is the compiled information on the Tianji Shengyu, the second layer of the Giant Spirit Realm.

Please advise, Demon Master."

Zuo Ci, upon seeing Longling, respectfully stood below and handed a scroll to Longling's hand.

Longling's eyes showed composure and calm; after glancing at the message on the scroll, he understood the situation's development.

Tianji Shengyu?

Tianling Realm!

According to prior contact with the Miaomiao Sect's Qinghuan, the Tianling Realm corresponds to the Earth cultivator's Yuanshen Realm cultivation level.

Longling's mind sank into the memory of previously rescuing Qinghuan, gradually entering a state of thought.

According to Qinghuan's words, the high-level members of the Miaomiao Sect also have suspicions.

The righteous and evil top powers of Huanyu have joined forces to excavate the Giant Spirit Realm from Huanyu, and they certainly know something unknown to the outside world.

The vast Dao lineages should have means to resist the forbidden law power of a single domain of the Giant Spirit Realm, but they will certainly pay a terrifying price.

The major Dao lineages of Huanyu have long shaken Huanyu with their power, their foundations are extremely profound, and they can bear this price.

However, such a backlash from resisting the forbidden laws is no trivial matter; unless in dire necessity, they generally will not lightly employ it.

Longling, upon thinking to this point, had a fierce light flash in his eyes.

Since Earth cultivators entered the Primordial Spirit Domain, their cultivation has undergone rapid and vigorous progress.

Whether it is the techniques of the major Huanyu sects or weapons transported to Earth, they have been integrated with technological civilization, developing many new things.

Now is precisely the flourishing new era for Earth cultivators; those who have entered the Primordial Spirit Domain will be the core force to face Huanyu crises in the future and must always be guaranteed their safety.

"Reporting to the ancient sages and demon kings of the Primordial Spirit Domain.

This seat will personally set out for the Tianji Shengyu.

Let those in the Primordial Spirit Domain act freely."

Longling spoke.

She previously went to the universe to rescue Qinghuan and has some understanding of the combat power of high-level cultivators from the extraterritorial Tianzong.

That Tianji Shengyu similarly only allows the soul to enter, with the true body seated in Longyuan Mountain; her personal entry into the Tianji Shengyu will involve no danger.

Upon hearing Longling's decision, Zuo Ci froze on the spot, his heart tightening sharply.

"Demon Master.

The Tianji Shengyu, according to detailed reports from the major Dao lineages.

What is the maximum realm this domain can withstand? It remains unclear."

Upon hearing this, Longling's face remained as calm as an ancient well.

"Rest assured.

This seat will not clash with the cultivators of the Tianji Shengyu.

This journey will involve no mishap."

During this period, through analyzing the cultivation techniques of the major Dao lineages and mutually verifying with her own Dao, a higher cultivation method is about to be created.

This entry into the Tianji Shengyu.

First, to block the powerful figures of the major Dao lineages from using the two-domain passage to enter the Primordial Spirit Domain and cause immeasurable harm to Earth cultivators; second, to use the primordial source of the Tianji Shengyu's laws to verify her own Dao.

Moreover, his divine ability is rather peculiar; if he does not actively sacrifice himself, it is difficult to detect his presence—this is Longling's fundamental confidence in being able to retreat unscathed when facing Huanyu cultivators in the Tianji Shengyu.

After Zuo Ci understood, his face finally showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Earth has the Demon Master plotting; it will surely flourish greatly in Huanyu.

Return to the Primordial Spirit Domain to inform the ancient sages and demon kings, and quickly determine the time when the major Dao lineages will act."

Zuo Ci nodded, then returned to his dwelling, immersing his mind in the memories of the Primordial Spirit Domain, where a mysterious golden staircase appeared before his soul's eyes.

Zuo Ci walked up; upon reaching the top of the staircase, the scene before his eyes instantly transformed into the scene of the Daci Village.

"Demon Master, what is your decision?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox King saw Zuo Ci appear in the council hall, hurriedly stood up and asked. Li Bai and Zhi Dun beside him also rushed over to Zuo Ci, their faces full of tension.

Tianji Shengyu is one level higher than the Primordial Spirit Realm; the cultivators inside have higher realms than those in the Primordial Spirit Realm, and their strength is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

As time passed and understanding of the Universe Cultivation World deepened, an indisputable fact must be recognized.

That is the realm gap—strength will differ by heaven and earth, and between them lies an unbridgeable heavenly chasm.

"The Demon Master wishes to personally go to Tianji Shengyu.

Let us in the Primordial Spirit Realm let loose our hands and feet." Zuo Ci took a deep breath to calm himself, then spoke firmly.

"What?

Go to Tianji Shengyu?" The Nine-Tailed Fox King, Li Bai, and Zhi Dun all exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.

Currently, the upper limit of cultivator realms that Tianji Shengyu can accommodate remains unclear; earth cultivators only know that one must be at least at the Heavenly Spirit Realm to enter Tianji Shengyu.

If the Demon Master descends into Tianji Shengyu and an accident occurs.

What shall the earth cultivators do?

The Nine-Tailed Fox King's pupils contracted sharply, his face full of disbelief.

She felt she must have misheard, and only after a long while did she come to her senses.

"Demon, Demon Master, do you have absolute certainty?" the Nine-Tailed Fox King asked anxiously.

"The Demon Master tells us not to worry, to figure out the timing of the major Dao traditions' actions." Zuo Ci spoke concisely and completely.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox King and others felt their souls scatter, slumped in their seats, their minds short-circuiting, and they drew a cold breath.

The Demon Master, worthy of being the ancestor of all laws, actually possesses the power to rival higher-level cultivators of the Universe Cultivation World.

These earth cultivators must seize the time and must not delay the Demon Master's retreat.

The Nine-Tailed Fox King suddenly rose from his seat, using birds and beasts to swiftly transmit the news to the Qingcheng Sect of Silver Break City and the Shagui Sect of Universe City, based on Qin Shi Huang and others.

The Demon Master wishes to go to Tianji Shengyu; during this window, we must continue organizing information about Tianji Shengyu to ensure the Demon Master fully understands its situation.

When this news reached Qingwei Daozhang, the First Emperor, and others, they too were stunned for a while before reacting.

"Haha, with the Demon Master guarding, earth cultivators can cultivate in peace.

The Demon Master is the faith of earth." Zhang Berend spoke passionately, seated in the meeting hall of the Qingcheng Sect.

"Seize the time to cultivate, chase the Demon Master's footsteps!

As long as one steps into the Primordial God Realm, one gains qualification to enter Tianji Shengyu and meet the Demon Master!"

The Golden Peng King's face lit up with a brilliant smile, speaking with fervent passion.

Once I achieve this, upon returning to earth I can boast with the great demon kings.

I, the Golden Peng King, am the first being from another realm to meet the Demon Master; thinking of those demon kings' envious expressions, I instantly burst into a grin.

Earth cultivators, facing the Demon Master's orders, after a meeting and discussion, immediately began mobilizing.

Time is urgent.

Qin Shi Huang, moreover, secretly mobilized all the spies planted in the major Dao traditions, ordering them to fully investigate the situation of Tianji Shengyu.

Among earth cultivators, those who have reached Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm all returned that day to the base at Great Mercy Fortress.

After taking the elixir refined by Zuo Ci, they quickly entered seclusion to contemplate, seeking the opportunity to break into the Primordial God Realm during this window.

Once the opportunity to break into the Primordial God Realm arrives, they will immediately return to their physical bodies on Longyuan Mountain on earth and seize the breakthrough.
