Chapter 259 - 155: 1 Talisman to Suppress the Immortal Emperor

TAP.

Mu Tiange took a light step, and with each tread upon the void, a ripple spread outward.

It was as if a lotus bloomed beneath his feet.

Bathed in golden light, a lotus bloomed with every step!

The void parted like the tide, surging to either side as if forming a welcoming procession.

The moment he appeared, time and space seemed to form a sturdy, massive net, completely enveloping An Ruosu and Ye Wanzhou.

Even the fluctuations of Wang Xiao’s Destiny Great Dao were unable to penetrate it for a time!

’So these are the two Origin Great Daos Mu Tiange comprehended—Time and Space. The Saint Son and Saintess have merely inherited his Daos.’

Wang Xiao’s eyes glinted.

He could sense that the Divine Techniques wielded by Mu Tiange were more than a hundred times more profound than those of An Ruosu and Ye Wanzhou combined.

Moreover, it seemed Mu Tiange had completely mastered these two Origin Great Daos.

They complemented each other, their combined might far exceeding that of a single Origin Great Dao!

This net of time and space was utterly impenetrable, a veritable fortress.

Even with his current understanding and application of the Destiny Great Dao, Wang Xiao couldn’t find a single opening!

This was a true master who had perfected his Divine Techniques.

"Sect Leader!"

An Ruosu and Ye Wanzhou instantly broke free from the shackles of the Destiny Great Dao. In a flash, they appeared at Mu Tiange’s side.

"Go back."

Mu Tiange’s voice was ancient, filled with the vastness of time.

It sounded as if it had traveled across infinite time and space, its echo reverberating through the void, refusing to fade.

"Yes."

After a final glance at Wang Xiao, An Ruosu and Ye Wanzhou tore open the void and vanished into the distance.

Wang Xiao paid them no mind. His gaze was fixed intently on Mu Tiange.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Complete]

[Mu Tiange: 58,600 years old. Born into a scholar’s family. Showed a love for reading from a young age, able to compose elegant prose by age three. At age eight, he became the top scholar in the land. At age ten, he was noticed by the Ruyuan Institute Director from the Confucian Academy, a Holy Land in the Eastern Divine Land, and was accepted as a disciple.]

[At age twelve, he mastered the Confucian Dao. He later left the Confucian Academy due to a theoretical conflict with the Director. He pursued cultivation on his own, immersing himself in countless books and ancient texts. At age ninety-nine, he was still in the Spirit Root Realm.]

[At age one hundred, he achieved sudden enlightenment on the Antarctic Ice Sheet. He broke through three tiers consecutively, becoming a Half-Step Earth Immortal. Later, while being hunted by numerous Immortal Kings and Earth Immortals, he attained the Origin Great Daos of Time and Space, became an Immortal Emperor, swept through the major Immortal Sects of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and founded the Taiyi Holy Land.]

[He has since dedicated himself to studying the Origin Great Daos of Time and Space, which he has now completely mastered.]

[Future Trajectory: In Year 109,600 of the Great Immortal Calendar, the Celestial Gate will open. He will lead the Saint Son and Saintess of the Taiyi Holy Land through the Celestial Gate, step onto the Invincible Road, and fight his way to its very end, where he will ultimately die in battle.]

Wang Xiao stared at the information about Mu Tiange, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This Mu Tiange’s talent was truly terrifying.

To think he comprehended the Great Daos of Time and Space in a single moment of enlightenment.

No wonder he was able to ascend to Immortal Emperor over the corpses of countless Earth Immortals.

However, what truly stunned Wang Xiao was the final line.

Mu Tiange would fight his way to the end of the Invincible Road, yet he would still be killed in battle!

’What in the world is at the end of the Invincible Road?!’

’Someone as powerful as Mu Tiange... will die!’

’Could there be an existence even stronger than Mu Tiange beyond the Celestial Gate?!’

After all, even with his now deeper understanding of the Destiny Great Dao and the addition of the Celestial Destiny Sword, Wang Xiao wasn’t confident he could defeat Mu Tiange.

’If Mu Tiange is going to die at the end of the Invincible Road, my own chances of survival would be slim to none.’

Of course, Mu Tiange had no idea what was going through Wang Xiao’s mind.

His tone was as calm and clear as still water, like that of a modest scholar.

Yet, with every word he spoke, ripples would spread through the void.

"In my fifty-eight thousand years of cultivation, you are only the second person to have truly impressed me."

Wang Xiao snapped out of his reverie and looked at Mu Tiange.

"May I ask who the first was?"

A nostalgic look appeared in Mu Tiange’s eyes.

"He could be considered a junior brother of sorts. We trained together at the Confucian Academy. Now, he is the Ruyuan Institute Director."

In the current Cultivation Realm, no one knew this story from his past.

Everyone assumed he was a Loose Cultivator who attained his Dao through a chance encounter.

They had no idea that his true path began at the Confucian Academy.

A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes. "Kong Xuansheng?!"

’He knew of him. Kong Xuansheng was another who had achieved a profound understanding of Divine Techniques.’

’With a single sentence, he had once turned night into day!’

’That proved Kong Xuansheng could also drastically reduce the backlash from using his Divine Techniques.’

Mu Tiange said,

"Yes. Under the pressure from our teacher, he too forged a path of his own. The Law you follow is somewhat similar to his."

A flicker of understanding passed through Wang Xiao’s eyes.

’The Origin Great Dao Kong Xuansheng comprehended is, in all likelihood, the Cause and Effect Great Dao.’

’It was indeed somewhat similar to his own Destiny Great Dao.’

’One could even say the two were inextricably linked.’

’Mountains, rivers, cities, humanity, all things in creation... all the threads of cause and effect intertwine to form the tapestry of destiny!’

Wang Xiao had originally planned to visit Kong Xuansheng at the Confucian Academy after returning to the Yongchang Kingdom, so he could gain a more concrete understanding of how the Cause and Effect Great Dao operated.

This was because he had already decided that the second Origin Great Dao he would comprehend would be the Cause and Effect Great Dao.

He just never expected Mu Tiange to show up at his doorstep before he even had a chance to return.

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask,

"So, Sect Leader Mu, I presume you didn’t come all this way just to reminisce with me."

Mu Tiange’s tone remained placid, his eyes as vast and boundless as the void, impossible to see through, impossible to fathom.

"I have come for one reason only: to compare our Daos. Of all the Immortal Emperors in this realm, the only one I am not confident I can defeat is Kong Xuansheng. However, our final confrontation will take place on the Invincible Road beyond the Celestial Gate. Therefore, I cannot seek him out just yet!"
