Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Xu Changqing said in a low voice, "Could it be that the Dao Ancestor foresaw everything long ago?"

When the San Dao Jie Fa was carried out back then, I was one of the witnesses.

I personally witnessed the gods holding the lives of millions of mortals hostage, intending to force the Dao Ancestor to death.

While leading him deeper into the Garden, Wan Buyi said, "I dare not speak on that, but there is one thing you must know."

Xu Changqing glanced at him, quite curious: "What?"

Wan Buyi said seriously, "The Primordial Dao Ancestor is not human."

Xu Changqing's steps faltered, and he exclaimed in shock, "What!"

"He is actually a part of the Heavenly Dao's will."

Wan Buyi continued leading the way forward: "In the Primordial Period, gods and demons coexisted.

The Heavenly Dao abhors fullness; it would not allow either side to truly prevail completely.

So it split off a wisp of will, which became the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

He spread the Dao and taught, leading mortals to walk out a path of immortal cultivation.

The purpose was to prevent the myriad heavens and worlds from falling into the hands of gods and demons."

While listening, Xu Changqing recalled the events of the past.

The Dao Ancestor taught people to cultivate immortality, taught people to slay gods.

So from the very beginning, all of this was the Heavenly Dao's arrangement.

Wan Buyi looked back at him, then continued: "Now the Human Dao is at its peak; by rights the Demon Race should rise, but this time the one acting is not the Heavenly Dao."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but ask, "Who?"

Wan Buyi blurted out, "The Void!"

Hearing these two words, Xu Changqing immediately thought of that mysterious man again.

After his breakthrough to Spirit Transformation, he had met the other party once in the Void Realm.

They had conversed about some matters at the time; this person explicitly stated that the Void was devouring everything.

Moreover, the situation was even more terrible and dire than imagined.

A solemn expression emerged on Wan Buyi's face for the first time: "Since the Five Emperors fell one after another, the Void has been expanding rapidly.

It doesn't just devour space; it even chases after time.

Those Outer Realm evil forces, without exception, are all incarnations of the Void's power!"

Hearing this, Xu Changqing's thoughts turned, and he guessed, "Could it be that the Void wants to obtain the Primordial Dao Ancestor's flesh body?"

"Correct."

Wan Buyi nodded forcefully: "The Dao Ancestor's flesh body is itself a part of the Heavenly Dao.

Once the Void obtains it, it can twist the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the past, present, and future will all disappear!"

Xu Changqing furrowed his brows: "Even the future will be cut off?"

Wan Buyi waved his hand, then said: "Fortunately, that place Gui Xu is extremely special.

As long as someone guards it, the Void cannot infiltrate."

Xu Changqing thought of something: "The place you speak of... couldn't it be the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb?"

"Right."

Wan Buyi smiled: "It used to be called the Gui Xu Zhi Yan; later it was renamed Gui Xu Dragon Tomb.

With Dragon Qi guarding it, external evil forces find it hard to invade.

Speaking of which, I recall the Second Demon Ancestor Xian Zhu Zhi Long's reincarnation is there.

Therefore, with it there, Gui Xu is certainly stable!"

Hearing these words, Xu Changqing was extremely embarrassed.

So it turned out that Xian Zhu Zhi Long appeared there to guard the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb.

What a pity; it had already been absorbed by me for the Zhulong Bloodline, turning into an ordinary dragon.

At the time I still thought I had picked up a huge bargain; now regret comes too late.

Also unknown is how things are with the Gui Xu Master, Lao Zhao, and Linglong?

Hope nothing happens!

Wan Buyi didn't know what he was thinking; he raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Brother Xu, I'll take you to meet a few Immortals.

And they're all Immortals from our Tianyuan Realm."

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment: "You're also from the Tianyuan Realm?"

"Why not?"

Wan Buyi said as a matter of course: "If you were an Immortal from elsewhere, I couldn't be bothered to waste time here; I'd have gone off to enjoy myself long ago."

Xu Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing this.

But he had to admit, these words indeed had no flaw.

Then, he followed behind Wan Buyi, walking together toward the depths of the Garden.

All along the way fragrant breezes blew unceasingly; flowers and grasses grew denser, and human voices grew more numerous.

Immortals occasionally passed by, nodding in greeting to Wan Buyi and Xu Zhangqing.

As they reached a stone bridge, Xu Zhangqing's footing faltered.

Standing on the bridge were two female immortals.

One had brows like distant mountains holding snow, eyes like a cold pool reflecting the moon.

Her complexion was pale, almost translucent, her lip color faint like early cherry blossoms.

Xu Zhangqing would never forget this face.

Who?

Yu Caiqing!

Back at Dongting Immortal Sect, the two had been temporary Dao Companions.

Living together, enjoying pleasures together.

But many things happened later, so they parted ways.

Especially afterward, they never saw each other again, and to this day neither knows whether the other is alive or dead.

Beside Yu Caiqing stood another woman, slightly taller.

They were six or seven parts alike in appearance, but she was more composed, more quiet.

Yet Xu Zhangqing recognized her at a glance.

In his mind, residual memories related to her immediately surfaced.

Inner Sect Disciple of Dongting Immortal Sect, Dan Tai Yuan Yu!

Xu Zhangqing truly had not expected that, after nearly ten thousand years, he could meet them again within the Great Dao Cage.

Even more unexpected, both Yu Caiqing and Dan Tai Yuan Yu were Immortals.

Seeing Xu Zhangqing staring blankly, Wan Buyi chuckled and introduced them: "The two before you are respectively North Ming Immortal Dantai, Wangchuan Immortal Caiqing."

One governs the boundless North Ming waters, the other governs the River of Forgetfulness that separates life and death.

One guards life, one guards death.

Xu Zhangqing finally came back to his senses, surprised: "Such great backgrounds?"

Wan Buyi could not help but sigh regretfully: "That Great Dao Venerable was also a remarkable person, to lay hands on such two peerless Immortal Maidens, sigh~"

After Dan Tai and Caiqing perceived Xu Zhangqing's gaze, they both looked over.

Xu Zhangqing immediately cupped his hands: "Elder Sister Yu, Elder Sister Dan Tai!"

Dan Tai and Caiqing were stunned: "We... know you?"

Xu Zhangqing opened his mouth, intending to explain, but after thinking it over, he finally chose to give up: "We know each other now!"

For this answer, Dan Tai and Caiqing exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

Neither side continued the exchange.

After all, they did not know each other, and did not know what to talk about.

After crossing the bridge, Wan Buyi led Xu Zhangqing onward into the depths.

Not long after, a pond appeared ahead.

Sitting by the pond was an Immortal, dressed in coarse cloth and straw shoes.

Not fishing, just watching the water in the pond.

Xu Zhangqing walked closer and blurted out: "Senior Brother Li!"

The person before him actually resembled Li Sancai of Dongting Immortal Sect quite closely.

Wan Buyi was a bit surprised: "You know each other?"

However, the Immortal who greatly resembled Li Sancai shook his head: "I don't know you."

Xu Zhangqing quickly corrected himself: "I mistook the person."

Wan Buyi did not think much of it, and immediately introduced: "This one, like us, comes from Tianyuan Realm, and is Taiqing Immortal Li Er!"

Xu Zhangqing subconsciously cupped his hands: "Senior Brother Li!"

Li Er was stunned, then said with a sigh: "It's been a long time since anyone addressed me that way."

Xu Zhangqing looked at him, then at Wan Buyi; if Old Zhao were added, the four of them from Dongting Immortal Sect back then would truly be gathered here.

The people were still those few people, but their identities had changed.

This Xuan Du in the dream was truly like a dream and an illusion.

It even made Xu Zhangqing feel a little... not wanting to wake up!
