Chapter 100: The Eight-Star Great Emperor of the Heavenly Net Palace Charges into the Grand Dao Sect!

Doubt arose in everyone's hearts.

Who exactly is this white-robed great emperor?

No wonder Ji Fuyao joined Xuan Qing Feng; it turns out there is also an unparalleled powerhouse on Xuan Qing Feng!

When this person just made a move, numerous emperor-realm powerhouses from the various prefectures could not gauge Lu Xuan's depth, but could instantly kill the Blood Fiend Great Emperor, showing he is at least an Eight-Star Great Emperor!

For a moment, the emperor-realm powerhouses of the various prefectures activated an ancient secret technique to spread this news.

The Blood Fiend Great Emperor of the Heavenly Net Palace was slain by the white-robed great emperor of the Grand Dao Sect!

This was a Seven-Star Great Emperor, and he just died like that!

But this matter will not end like this!

Because the Nineteenth Elder of the Heavenly Net Palace's main hall, the Ink Shadow Great Emperor, will descend bearing the palace master's edict!

The Heavenly Net Palace's master, Soul Severing Life's edict has descended; in a sense, it means the palace master Soul Severing Life himself has come to the Grand Dao Sect to demand someone!

At that moment, Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor suddenly awakened, looking at everything in the scene, somewhat shocked.

The Blood Fiend Great Emperor is dead?

He gazed into the void; Lu Xuan wore a white robe, bore the azure heavens, like a god-king descending to the mundane, exceedingly ethereal.

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor coughed blood while taking out an emperor-rank healing pill and swallowing it; his face turned pale, he immediately leapt into the air, came to Lu Xuan's side, bowed respectfully, and showed a faint bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist, thank you for this."

Lu Xuan asked, "Where are the other ancestors of the Grand Dao Sect? You said the sect's foundation is deep and fears nothing from the Heavenly Net Palace!"

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor looked embarrassed, his breath still feeble: "I hadn't yet had time to summon the powerhouses of the other veins when I was knocked out."

Lu Xuan: "……"

A moment of silence.

Lu Xuan asked, "Old Ancestor, how many vein ancestors does our Grand Dao Sect actually have?"

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor smiled and said, "Our Grand Dao Sect has four vein ancestors, namely the 'Azure', 'Heaven', 'Mysterious', and 'Dao' veins."

My 'Azure' vein is considered the weakest; following this order, each subsequent vein grows stronger."

Azure, Heaven, Mysterious, Dao!

Lu Xuan slightly startled.

This…

He has stayed in the Grand Dao Sect for so many years, how could he know nothing at all?

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor said, "I originally intended to awaken the ancestor of the Heaven vein, but I didn't expect you, fellow Daoist, to make a move."

Lu Xuan's gaze deepened as he said, "The Blood Fiend Great Emperor, before dying, said that the Ink Shadow Great Emperor of the Heavenly Net Palace's main hall would descend bearing the palace master's edict."

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor's face turned extremely solemn: "It seems I still need to awaken the ancestor of the Heaven vein!"

Lu Xuan did not stop him.

That energized jade slip, he had already used it once; now only one chance to use it remains.

Save where you should, spend where you should.

In the next instant, Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor bowed deeply and respectfully toward the hidden place of the Grand Dao Sect, calling out loudly.

"Please, ancestor of the Heaven vein, take action!"

His voice rang like a great bell, shaking this heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan slightly startled, gazing toward the hidden place.

Who knows which ancestor of the Heaven vein will manifest this time?

Suddenly.

From the hidden place of the Grand Dao Sect, a terrifyingly formidable aura surged forth, endless divine radiance lighting the void, boundless golden spiritual energy like a great river directly crossing the void.

Between heaven and earth, starlight flickered everywhere, filled with the mysterious aura of the Grand Dao Scripture!

In the next instant, that terrifying golden spiritual energy continuously transformed, from formless to form, violent storms began to surge above the azure firmament.

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

For a moment, everyone looked toward this terrifying power!

No person in sight, only the terrifying force!

The power of the Eight-Star Emperor Realm continuously poured into the void, the void trembled, and a towering might surged above the azure firmament.

Lu Xuan murmured, "Is this the power of the Grand Dao Sect's Heaven vein ancestor?"

Soon, a black-robed man stepped upon the void and came before Lu Xuan.

This black-robed man had a square face, beard full on his face, a wild look, thick eyebrows, large deep-set eyes, casually worn black robe, his calves revealed dense leg hair, appearing somewhat unrestrained, utterly opposite to Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor.

Lu Xuan slightly startled.

Is this the Heaven Walk Old Ancestor?

He looks somewhat rugged.

The black-robed man sized up Lu Xuan, realizing he could not see through him, he split his mouth in a grin: "Many thanks, fellow Daoist."

Azure Mysterious Old Ancestor laughed and said to Lu Xuan, "White-robed fellow Daoist, Fuyao, this is the Heaven vein ancestor I spoke of, Heaven Walk Old Ancestor!"

Heaven Walk Old Ancestor!

After a moment.

The Sect Master and all the Peak Masters rose into the air, came before Lu Xuan, and bowed.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Thank you, senior!"

They had just witnessed Lu Xuan's peerless offensive power, filling them with endless reverence for him.

Meanwhile, the emperor powerhouses of the various prefectures watching from afar had not yet left; they gazed at the Heaven Walk Old Ancestor, somewhat surprised.

The Eight-Star Great Emperor of the Great Dao Sect has been born; is this preparing for the descent of the Ink Shadow Great Emperor?

Everyone marveled; the Great Dao Sect had lain dormant for so many years, and today someone came knocking at its door—will it finally reveal its foundation?

The powerhouses present recalled some past events of the Great Dao Sect and began to discuss them.

In the Ancient Era, at the time when a Supreme Path was opened.

The strength of the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect far surpasses that of other forces!

The supreme opportunity of Nan Huang ultimately fell into the hands of the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Soon, these two hegemon-level powers erupted into a great war!

The two sects' ideologies are completely different.

The Great Dao Sect advocates aligning secretly with the Heavenly Dao, uniting body with Dao, and its Great Dao Scripture pushes this ideology to the extreme, while the Supreme Mystery Sect advocates going against Heaven, using the Heavenly Dao to control the Heavenly Dao.

Different Daos, no joint plans!

The world-shaking war between the two sects is actually a contest of Dao law and ideology!

That war was humanity's most glorious moment; other races lacked the strength to fight and chose to remain dormant, awaiting the next opening of the Supreme Path. Numerous human powers picked sides, and for a time battles raged across millions of miles, like dragons fighting in the wild, their blood staining the Xuan Huang!

That war was too tragic! In a supreme history of Nan Huang, half a chapter of Great Emperors all perished!

The Great Dao Sect's governing power is stronger than that of the Supreme Mystery Sect! So if the fighting continued, the Great Dao Sect would surely win! But at that time, the Heavenly Dao issued a decree: if the bloodshed continued, the heavenly and earthly power of Nan Huang would be forcibly torn apart, and thereafter there would be no supreme opportunity!

The Supreme Mystery Sect chose to defy Heaven, while the Great Dao Sect chose to advance by retreating. In the end, the founder of the Supreme Mystery Sect stepped into the Supreme Realm and left this world.

Heavenly Dao granted the Great Dao Sect a supreme secret technique; thereafter, the founder of the Great Dao Sect vanished, and the Great Dao Sect entered a silence spanning several eras……

Upon hearing this, the hearts of many Great Emperors could not be calmed for a long time.

The choices of the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect both conform to their respective 'Dao'!

But this is a supreme opportunity!

The founder of the Great Dao Sect actually just gave it up like that!

A Great Emperor said, 'If so, does the Heavenly Dao owe the Great Dao Sect a supreme position?'

Another black-robed Great Emperor nodded, 'That can be said, but in the next few openings of the Supreme Path, the Great Dao Sect did not contend for the supreme opportunity.'

Upon hearing this, everyone felt somewhat sighing, 'The struggle for the supreme position is fleeting; the Dao struggle is like rowing against the current—if you don't advance, you retreat! Where is there any reason for compromise?'

'After I become supreme, I care not if floodwaters rage behind me.'

Many Great Emperors present did not quite understand the founder of the Great Dao Sect's decision.

Not entering the supreme realm, one ends up as an ant!

Some believed the founder of the Great Dao Sect lacked a steadfast Dao heart.

At this time, the members of the Great Dao Sect listened to the Emperors of Various States recount the sect's past events, and did not refute.

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, as if in thought.

Old Ancestor Cang Xuan looked at Lu Xuan, 'Dao friend, if you are the founder of the Great Dao Sect, how would you choose?'

Lu Xuan remained calm, his expression light and breezy, 'Me? Here, there is no such thing as evenly matched opponents. Foes before me are killed at the first show of head—I will blast the Supreme Mystery Sect to pieces; then the ownership of the supreme opportunity goes without saying.'

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Cang Xuan and the Sect Leader, etc., were all stunned.

That also matches this Dao friend's style!

On Xuan Qing Feng, Ji Fuyao let out a 'puchi' laugh.

She believes in her master!

For now, Old Ancestor Cang Xuan and company still don't know the master's true strength!

Before the master, any realm requires only a single move.

Old Ancestor Tian Xing gazed at Ji Fuyao, a flicker of shock in his eyes, only to see Ji Fuyao's body suddenly radiate divine splendor, flowing with 'Dao' and 'Resonance'.

The Sect Leader exclaimed, 'This is the aura of the Great Dao Scripture!'

Old Ancestor Cang Xuan flicked his sleeve, and the Sect Leader and others slowly retreated, forming a converging posture as they withdrew, encircling Ji Fuyao.

Old Ancestor Cang Xuan smiled faintly, saying, 'I didn't expect Fuyao, watching the battle, to actually have an epiphany!'

'Boom!'

Ji Fuyao's body surged with a profound and wondrous qi, a faint divine radiance rising, her scarlet long skirt billowing as she sat cross-legged directly in the Void Above.

In an instant, her bones were enveloped by divine light, becoming extraordinarily crystalline, her hair strands translucent, her whole person suffused in a blazing radiance, like a goddess descending to the mortal realm.

Her slender jade hand extended, endless spiritual arts shifting, an obscure and ancient aura spreading outward, her body intertwining with a 'Dao' and 'Resonance'!

Ji Fuyao murmured, 'The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; the Dao also has a Dao…'

Having just observed Old Ancestor Cang Xuan's move, and having heard of the Great Dao Sect founder's decision, her mind became clear and lucid, catching a trace of the 'Dao' qi.

The founder of the Great Dao Sect relinquished the supreme fruit position, choosing not to destroy Nan Huang's heaven and earth; regardless of whether this choice is correct, it essentially conforms to the founder's 'Dao'!

The Three Thousand Great Daos are not harmonious with each other, even mutually exclusive!

Moreover, even those who cultivate the Great Dao Scripture each comprehend a different 'Dao'.

Then what is her 'Dao'?

Ji Fuyao sank into contemplation……

At that moment, a system voice sounded in Lu Xuan's ear.

'Ding! Host's eldest disciple Ji Fuyao has gained insight into the Great Dao Scripture, beginning synchronization!'

The voice fell silent!

A profound and wondrous qi surged into Lu Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Xuan nodded lightly, 'Not bad, not bad.'

Not long after.

Around Ji Fuyao, the qi of Dao Resonance continually permeated; above her head, the Void Above constantly evolved myriad phenomena—lands and rivers, ancient palaces, boundless seas of fire—exceedingly complex and obscure, appearing exceedingly mysterious.

Heavenly and earthly phenomena rose and fell, and the Dao Resonance on her body continually surged.

All the strongmen of the various states were utterly shocked.

Indeed, he is the monster that the Heaven Net Hall seeks to capture and kill!

His comprehension is actually so heaven-defying!

Half a day later.

Ji Fuyao slowly opened her eyes, her starry eyes sparkling, she rose into the air and came before Lu Xuan and the others.

She bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan, then bowed respectfully to Ancestor Cangxuan and the others, saying, "Thank you, Master, thank you Ancestor and Sect Leader, seniors for guarding my Dao!"

Lu Xuan gave a faint nod, his mood was good.

Ancestor Tianxing and Ancestor Cangxuan, along with the others, showed relieved smiles.

Just now, Ji Fuyao had a sudden enlightenment of the profound mysteries of the Grand Dao Classic, and he also gained many insights from it.

One could say, mysterious beyond mysterious, marvelous beyond marvelous…

Just then, Lu Xuan and the others were preparing to return when an abrupt change occurred.

「Boom! Boom! Boom! 」

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

An incomparably terrifying aura spread across Above the Void; within the void rift, a great sun seemed to burn, incomparably scorching, and everyone in this heaven and earth felt the oppressive force.

In the next instant.

A huge corner appeared, followed by an incomparably ancient token, as huge as a mountain range, with dao patterns flowing across it like brilliant stars; an ancient aura filled the heaven and earth, the ancient token kept flashing, and two incomparably brilliant ancient characters slowly emerged.

「Heaven! Net! 」

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Is the Heaven Net Hall about to descend?

This is the Heaven Net Hall's unique way of making an entrance!

Before dying, the Blood Tyrant Emperor once said that the Nineteenth Elder of the Heaven Net Hall's main hall, the Ink Shadow Emperor, would descend bearing the divine decree of the Sect Master's Soul-Severing Life?

Could the one who has come be the Ink Shadow Emperor?

In a moment, the strongmen of the various states extended their divine senses, staring fixedly at the void rift.

And Ancestor Cangxuan and the others also halted their steps, gazing into the depths of the void.

「Boom! 」

A figure emerged from the void rift, his surroundings ablaze with radiant divine light, boundless imperial might surging, a black robe billowing.

His complexion was gloomy, his eyes icy, he gazed upon this heaven and earth; on his chest were two ancient characters, 'Heaven Net'.

The black-robed man concealed nothing of his aura; the oppressive force of an early-stage Eight-Star Emperor was like an abyss like a sea, and his every move bore the dignity of a superior.

Behind him, several more figures appeared, standing behind the purple-robed man, their demeanor extremely respectful.

In the next instant, the black-robed man's divine sense swept outward, seeing the many emperors gathered in the distance.

His gaze was like lightning, causing the Low-Star Emperors to tremble with fear, utterly terrified!

Many Low-Star Emperors exclaimed, 'Eight-Star Emperor, could the one who has come be the Nineteenth Elder of the Heaven Net Hall's main hall, the Ink Shadow Emperor?'
