Chapter 1569

Xiao Feng flew away from Flower Moon Palace, heading toward the Teleportation Array.

He did not hastily use the return-to-city talisman.

Because his mind was a bit muddled, he feared that rushing would get him to Yunchu Shan still unfocused, causing him to offend someone he shouldn't.

He drifted along leisurely and arrived at the Teleportation Array of the Primordial Imperial City.

He wanted to go to West Central Province.

Then, upon opening the map, he realized he had mistakenly chosen the wrong Teleportation Array and ended up at the Supreme Ultimate Imperial City.

After confirming several times, he then teleported back, appearing in West Central Province.

Flying northward, he spent the journey organizing the thoughts in his mind.

A hundred years in the dream is a long time; he had only lived over twenty years, and the memory of dream-enlightenment weighed too heavily, thus causing the mental disorder.

Fortunately, during the enlightenment process he had not encountered any other people or events, so his memory remained largely normal; he would not mistake his wife for someone else or treat an enemy as a close brother.

After flying leisurely for over an hour, Xiao Feng's consciousness finally became fully clear.

He flew into the Misty Fog Grand Formation of Yunchu Shan and called out three times, "Senior Ji Xingge!"

Not long after, the clouds and mist ahead parted, and a Daoist appeared before him.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, how did you come? Is there something urgent?" Ji Xingge asked.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "I'm looking for Senior Wuxin and Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang to return something."

Saying this, he drew the Slay Dao Sword.

Seeing this sword, Ji Xingge's pupils contracted; he was obviously startled and quickly said, "Please follow me, Fellow Daoist," and hurried to lead the way.

The Senior Sister's sword had not appeared for a long time; unexpectedly, she lent it to Xiao Feng. Unaware of the circumstances, he couldn't help but think more highly of Xiao Feng, feeling that the Senior Sister seemed to favor this young man even more.

Little did he know... it was simply Xiao Feng's thick-skinnedness.

After flying a while, the two entered the sect's territory of Yunchu Shan.

Ji Xingge asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, do you want to first see Junior Sister Xun Shuang, or my Senior Sister first?"

"Let's first pay respects to Senior Wuxin," Xiao Feng replied.

Return the sword first, the challenge later.

He also had matters concerning the Eight Great Beast Gods to consult with Dao Venerable Wuxin; beating up the junior sister first and then going would clearly be inappropriate.

"Alright, then first wait a moment at Welcome Guest Peak."

Ji Xingge took him to a hill on the front mountain that receives visitors.

Dao Venerable Wuxin is hard to see; even fellow sect disciples need to make an appointment and wait.

Xiao Feng landed on the deserted Welcome Guest Peak and sat quietly awaiting the outcome.

Ji Xingge went to the sect's deep forbidden land to deliver a message, soon returned, and told Xiao Feng to wait on his own; Dao Venerable Wuxin would appear when he wished to see him.

Xiao Feng was not in a hurry.

A Venerable-level powerhouse is not someone you can just see on demand; he had not become so arrogant as to think that his arrival would immediately cause Dao Venerable Wuxin to Appeared meet him.

During the wait, feeling a bit bored, he began to cultivate.

Yunchu Shan has a fine environment; cultivating here yields at least half the effectiveness of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

However, compared to the thatched huts of the Azure Moon Cave Heaven, the Little Jianmu of the Mysterious Butterfly Demon Emperor, and similar places, it is still somewhat inferior.

His cultivation gradually increased, and the Demonic-Exterminating Dao Practice slowly transformed into part of his own strength.

While cultivating, he also diverted a portion of his mind to casually chat with the Supreme Treasures.

"Tower Brother, tell me about your past—how did you get to know Senior Mysterious Butterfly and Senior Wuxin?" Xiao Feng wondered in his heart.

The Myriad Calamities Treasure Pagoda replied, "That's a long story; we must start from when Heaven and Earth first opened."

"Heaven... Heaven and Earth first opened? When was that?" Xiao Feng's heart gave a sudden twitch.

This topic is weighty; he dared not imagine that he had actually come into contact with such a level!

The Myriad Calamities Treasure Pagoda sighed, "Actually, it's not that long; mainly, the passage of time has sped up. If viewed from your world, it would be about thirty or forty thousand years."

Time accelerated? Thirty or forty thousand years?

Xiao Feng had a thought and suddenly realized: "I understand—you mean the Myriad Heavens world actually began development thirty or forty thousand years ago in the real world, and you Supreme Treasures and Venerables are the first batch of created beings. Then the flow of time accelerated; while tens of thousands of years pass outside, you experience millions or even more years, right?"

"Roughly speaking, that's about right, but we have actually experienced even longer than you imagine—approximately a hundred million years in total." The Myriad Calamities Treasure Pagoda said.

Since time acceleration was mentioned, Xiao Feng was no longer surprised by the length of the years.

He thought of Chen Jie and asked, "Is the one driving the acceleration of time the Lord of the Time Rules?"

The Tower Brother replied, "Who is driving the evolution of the Myriad Heavens, we little lackeys aren't qualified to know. However, at the time when Heaven and Earth first opened, including myself, many Supreme Treasures and powerhouses had the fortune to meet multiple Dao Ancestors."

"For example?" Xiao Feng anticipated.

"For example..."

The Myriad Calamities Treasure Pagoda fell into reminiscence and slowly said.

"The Human Race's Forefather Fuxi, wearing a blue robe and holding a long zither, refined and gentle, with a single thread of Divine Sense deducing, created the Eight Great Venerables and Twelve Treasures, arranging them to appear at different times."

"The Human Race's Forefather Da Yi, with a long bow and short dagger, bold and hearty, with a drop of blood evolving the ancient war god clan, became the most ancient state of the Myriad Heavens."

The water clan's Cangqiong Old Ancestor, his form fills the heavens, his aura covers myriad worlds, using his own law to open up the myriad heavens and worlds, forming the current pattern.

The wood clan's Immortal Old Ancestor, only his principle is known, his form unseen; all grasses, trees, and flowers of the major worlds, all living beings of the Divine Wood clan, are his evolution.

The stone clan's Guyuan Old Ancestor, vast and heavy, kind and benevolent, taking a small fragment of his own Li Ti, transformed it into the boundless land of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, bearing all clans' living beings.

Moreover, there are many great Dao ancestors whose existence we can know but whose identities we do not know, all of whom participated in the opening of the myriad heavens.

At first, we didn't even know who they were; after countless years of growth and pursuit, we finally gradually touched upon some truths about the essence of the world.

Xiao Feng listened with great relish.

These are all Dao ancestors!

Each one is an existence equal to Chen Jie, the supreme being of the real universe, immortal and eternal, representing a kind of law!

Especially the two human race old ancestors, he was the most curious, very much wanting to know more detailed information!

However… the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda actually doesn't know much either, merely vaguely remembering the scene when it was created.

"I am one of the twelve treasures created by the Xi Ancestor, arguably the weakest one; the Dao-Slaying Sword is a bit better than me, ranking third from the bottom. However, it lacks sentience, being merely a weapon of slaughter. If I could evolve to only the ninth rank, I would be stronger than it." The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda spoke of its origin.

Xiao Feng had actually guessed this.

He asked, "Was the Heartless Dao Venerable a contemporary of yours? She too was once a person of the real world?"

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda said, "When the heavens were opened, I once saw her silhouette; I knew she was a direct disciple of the Xi Ancestor, but we never interacted. Her true descent came very late, by then the pattern of the myriad heavens had already been set, and even you humans had already declined."

"What about Senior Xuan Die?" Xiao Feng asked again.

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda laughed and said, "Little Butterfly is a disciple of the Holy Ape Demon Emperor, not a first-generation being from the dawn of creation. She has probably existed for three or four hundred thousand years; earlier, because she followed her master in cultivation, she also learned many ancient secrets from her master's mouth. In terms of talent and bloodline, she may not be the top among the myriad heaven venerables. But her mind is keen, her vision far-reaching, making her a pretty decent little fellow."
