Chapter 278

However, Chen Zhangsheng quickly realized that once they stepped out of the Bronze Ancient Hall, everyone's memories would be erased, and by then Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others would forget everything that had happened here.

This time, the strength he displayed was somewhat too much.

Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others took a while before accepting this fact.

The many old ancestors looked at Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, this state of mind of yours is truly rare. Not elated by things, not grieved by self, honor and disgrace not shown on the face—it is practically forged for cultivating the Grand Dao Scripture."

Lu Xuan extended his right hand, a flow of Grand Dao Scripture power slowly circulated, Dao Resonance like a spring breeze, caressing the faces of the many old ancestors.

Cangyuan Old Ancestor was overjoyed, "Good, good, good!"

And at this moment.

Above the Void, Chen Zhangsheng had already sealed numerous demon tribe great emperors.

They mobilized surging demonic power, bombarding the formation, and the towering force surged forth; even when they activated the Ultimate Dao Imperial Armaments, they could not break free.

Moreover, Chen Zhangsheng wafted several kinds of toxic mist into the formation, weakening the power of the numerous demon tribes.

They knew that sooner or later they would be blasted to death by the formation's power.

The demon tribe members gritted their teeth, "Who exactly are you?"

"Chen Zhangsheng."

The Nine-Star Great Emperor of the demon court said coldly, "Throughout the history of Nan Huang, there has never been a powerhouse named Chen Zhangsheng! Could you be from the other four regions?"

Chen Zhangsheng's eyes flickered with a trace of recollection, "I am a person of Nan Huang."

Past events are like the wind, already buried in the long river of Nan Huang's history.

It is normal that the world does not know his name.

Half a day later.

On the day of the formation, the numerous demon tribes will be slaughtered, and Chen Zhangsheng will gather their corporeal bodies.

He stepped down through the void and came to Lu Xuan's side.

Inside the stone hall, Cangyuan Old Ancestor looked at Chen Zhangsheng's back and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Chen Zhangsheng, what is your background? Why are you so powerful?"

Chen Zhangsheng gave a simple smile, "Everyone, just call me Changsheng. I am not some expert, merely a small disciple of Xuan Qing Feng."

The many old ancestors: "……"

Lu Xuan said with a smile, "Old Three's identity involves some secrets of Nan Huang."

Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others let out a long sigh and did not continue questioning.

Now Chen Zhangsheng has already joined the Grand Dao Sect, and having sworn a heavenly dao oath never to betray the Grand Dao Sect, he is thus a member of the Grand Dao Sect.

No matter what his identity is, the Grand Dao Sect will accept him.

Not long after.

Lu Xuan opened his penetrating eye, probing this region of heaven and earth, and soon discovered the treasury of an ancient power.

The opportunities here, Lu Xuan and Chen Zhangsheng took none; they gave everything to Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others.

The many old ancestors felt a bit embarrassed, for this place is an ancient sect in the outer realms; if they were to refine all the opportunities here, their realms could rise by one stage, even two.

Several days later.

Lu Xuan, Chen Zhangsheng, and Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others parted ways.

They intend to stay here to cultivate and refine these opportunities!

When the Bronze Ancient Hall opens, their cultivation will skyrocket enormously!

At the time of departure, Chen Zhangsheng laid a heaven-reaching defensive formation here; Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others' aura will not leak even a bit, allowing them to peacefully seclude for half a year.

Cangyuan Old Ancestor gave Lu Xuan one last look, "Lu Xuan, after stepping out of the Bronze Ancient Hall, the memory of this place will be erased. By then you must remind us and tell us your true identity."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Okay."

In the following time, Lu Xuan and Chen Zhangsheng continued onward.

Soon, their fame exploded in the Emperor Realm region!

The many great powers of the White-Robed Emperor searched for half a day but found nothing!

The Grand Dao Sect suddenly produced two strong individuals, Lu Xuan and Chen Zhangsheng?

Everyone was discussing heatedly.

"Is this Lu Xuan guy really too crafty? He actually deceived us for so many years?"

"But who is this Chen Zhangsheng? This person seems to have appeared out of nowhere in Nan Huang?"

"……"

……

Emperor Realm region, a place extremely far away.

Xuanji Holy Lord Bai Li is traversing the Void, her posture peerless, constantly shuttling among the ruins of various outer-realm powers.

To her, the treasures of the Emperor Realm, even the Ultimate Dao Imperial Armaments, hold no allure whatsoever!

Now she needs an ancient supreme medicine to suppress the uncanny and ominous forces within her body!

Not long after.

Xuanji Holy Lord's jade feet moved gracefully, Dao Resonance flowing over her body as she landed at an ancient sect.

She searched the treasury here, but found nothing.

Aside from some imperial armaments and techniques, there was no ancient supreme medicine.

Xuanji Holy Lord's jade countenance showed disappointment, her white hair fluttering, her perfect proud curves standing tall; within her inner world, those uncanny and ominous forces grew even stronger.

She sat cross-legged, her hand seals shifting, beginning to suppress these two forbidden forces, worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.

The ominous force comes from the erosion of time; only two methods can resolve it: the power of living beings or an ancient supreme medicine.

The uncanny force, however, comes from outer-realm power, and likewise requires the power of living beings and an ancient supreme medicine to suppress!

Ultimately, both require boundless surging vibrant vitality to reverse the principles of heaven and earth!

Going along brings death; going against brings life!

A sufficiently vast vitality can also overturn the great limit of life and death!

The Xuanji Holy Lord's white hair fluttered up; the twilight glow of the void's heavenly and earthly principles, evolved and shining, illuminated her peerless visage, giving it a hint of sorrow.

Her vermilion lips slightly opened as she murmured, 'The Heavenly Derivation Technique fifty, evade one. Within that evaded 'one' lies great opportunity.'

She sat in meditation within the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone for countless ages; although her cultivation had declined, in the darkness she comprehended a power that seemed to transcend the Nan Huang Heavenly Dao.

That is the power of Guile!

Guile Dao, the unorthodox Dao!

It is also not the power of this world!

But Guile Dao contains ineffable mysteries, and can also be regarded as that evaded 'one'.

Unfortunately, this insight is vague, profoundly mysterious, and ineffable.

Moreover, the Nan Huang Heavenly Dao reigns above all beings; the 'Dao' and 'Li' comprehended by all living things cannot transcend the Supreme Realm.

Over endless ages, she only activated the Xuanji Method when suppressing the Guile's strange power and the unknown power; at all other times, she secretly observed the Guile's strange power.

Even she discovered that the Guile's strange power could actually counterbalance the unknown power!

Know that these are two completely different forbidden powers!

Many strong ones lump the two powers together, but that is not the case; the Guile's strange power comes from beyond the realm, a kind of 'unorthodox Dao', while the unknown power is related to the power of ages.

The Xuanji Holy Lord herself knew that, unintentionally, she had stepped onto the Guile Dao.

This is a 'Dao' that does not exist in this realm!

Because throughout the history of Nan Huang, even the history of the Five Regions, no one has ever attained the Supreme through 'Guile'!

Thinking thus, the Xuanji Holy Lord continually activated the Xuanji Method, seeking to suppress the two forbidden powers.

What she seeks is not to fall into Guile Dao, but to rise above it.

At that moment, a humanoid spirit covered head to toe in red hair furtively approached the Xuanji Holy Lord, Bai Li.

But Bai Li merely glanced back slightly, and that humanoid spirit fled in panic!

That humanoid spirit, tainted with Guile's strange power and the unknown power, had long lost its reason and consciousness.

But upon seeing the terrifying forbidden power on the Xuanji Holy Lord's person, he actually felt fear!

It is infinitely richer than what he possesses!

Cry!

That humanoid creature, terrified, fled without hesitation into the mighty forces of heaven and earth.

Bai Li did not move to pursue and kill that humanoid spirit.

Half a day later.

She slowly rose, continued to traverse the void, seeking the ancient great medicine.

Once she obtains the ancient great medicine, she will be able to use its surging vitality to suppress the two forbidden powers and step into the region above the Emperor Realm.

There, that is the true great opportunity!

Boom!

The Xuanji Holy Lord's bearing was peerless; she transformed into a long rainbow, her white hair stretching three thousand zhang, and wherever she passed, humans, demons, and beasts alike retreated three leagues.

Many strong ones exclaimed in surprise.

"That is the Xuanji Holy Lord, Bai Li! After countless ages, she has actually become like this?"

"No wonder she is one of the titans who opened the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone back then! Even though her cultivation has declined, she has never devoured the power of living beings! This alone is enough to inspire awe."

"Alas, success and failure come to nothing, waves wash away titans? If the Xuanji Holy Lord cannot obtain this great opportunity this time, her peerless grace will also fall to the world."

Region below the Emperor Realm.

Ji Fuyao brought Fang Yan, Luo Lingkong, and others to seek the Sword Peak Peak Lord and others.

Not long after they left, at the location of the Canggu Gorge.

Boom!

Crack!

Void Rending, space twisted!

Many demon quasi-emperors and half-emperors walked out of the void, looking at the empty gorge, their faces turned grim.

A gray-robed demon quasi-emperor said, "Didn't they say the Great Dao Sect's trash are all here? Yet they dare let us descend to this place!"

Speaking, his hand seal shifted, brilliant spirit patterns surged, and he sensed the aura of the Great Dao Sect's members.

The gray-robed demon quasi-emperor snorted coldly, "Escape? You have no way to heaven, no door to earth!"

The sound fell!

The gray-robed demon quasi-emperor led the crowd directly in pursuit.
