Chapter 81

"Holy Mother, what about me?" Bi Xiao asked with a bitter face, flipping her palm. "I obtained a Magic Essence; it is said to be a treasure of the Demonic Dao."

"Magic Essence." Looking at the Magic Essence in Bi Xiao’s hand, the Holy Mother Jin Ling frowned.

She could indeed feel the astonishing demonic energy from within.

This kind of Demonic Dao aura was extremely pure; even the Jie Sect, with ten thousand immortals coming to court, had never taken in such disciples.

The Demonic Dao and Demonic Race disciples were different.

After Luohou, the Demonic Dao disappeared; it was only when Ksitigarbha rose that people realized the power of the Demonic Dao once again.

It could only be said that there really was no reference example for this.

"Bi Xiao, perhaps we need to head to the Master’s place." The Holy Mother Jin Ling said in a deep voice.

Regarding Bi Xiao’s current situation, she had no way to deal with it either.

"Jin Ling, this time I read *Journey to the West*; this is related to the world we are in. I need to report it to the Sect Leader." Zhao Gongming said.

Having read *Journey to the West*, although he hadn't finished it, Zhao Gongming understood that this was the future belonging to this Great Calamity.

Or rather, the original future.

It was only until that senior appeared and let them break free from the Investiture of the Gods that their fate was changed.

On this point, after Zhao Gongming read *Journey to the West*, he had this feeling in his heart.

So he still had to explain this matter to the Sect Leader; it also concerned their Jie Sect.

"Then let us all go together and tell the Master about our harvest at the grocery store." The Holy Mother Jin Ling said.

Subsequently, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and the others took Zhao Gongming and his companions toward the Biyou Palace above the extreme heavens; that was Tongtian Jiaozhu’s dojo.

Above the Primordial, there was a residence floating with Chaos Qi.

There were many truths of heaven and earth carved into it; this palace was the Zixiao Palace.

The place where Dao Ancestor Hongjun went into seclusion.

However, for Hongjun at this time, having merged with the Heavenly Dao, he was mostly fused into the Primordial World and rarely took human form.

But ever since the backlash from his deduction, Hongjun had not continued to merge with the Heavenly Dao, but stayed in the Zixiao Palace.

"Master, disciple Jieyin, disciple Zhunti, come to see the Master..."

A voice came from within the Zixiao Palace; it was his two registered disciples wanting to see him.

Regarding this, Hongjun did not react.

"Master, the disciple discovered that Jie Sect disciples broke free from the Investiture of the Gods; Tongtian likely has some existence behind him. I do not know if that existence poses any danger to this world." Jieyin continued.

Hongjun still did not react.

Outside the Zixiao Palace.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, staring blankly.

Everything that needed to be said had been said.

They could not continue to repeat themselves here.

After all, this was the Zixiao Palace, not some other place.

If it were the dojo of another Saint, Zhunti and Jieyin would not be so polite.

But this was their Master’s place, and even more so, the Dao Ancestor’s place.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s strength, to the current Jieyin and Zhunti, was also exceptionally unfathomable.

Just like that, Jieyin and Zhunti stood in this void, waiting, waiting for the Dao Ancestor’s summons.

Naturally, if there was no response for a long time, they would also leave.

But at least, it would not be now.

Not knowing how much time had passed, just when Jieyin and Zhunti thought the Dao Ancestor was cultivating and hadn't heard them, and were planning to leave.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, come in." Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s voice rang out faintly.

"Yes, Master."

Jieyin and Zhunti entered the Zixiao Palace, familiar with the way.

After Hongjun merged with the Dao, although they rarely came to see their Master, they had been here before.

Inside the Zixiao Palace.

When Jieyin and Zhunti walked into a palace, their minds shook, as if they had entered the incomparably vast Primordial World.

But looking closely, that was not the Primordial World at all, just a figure, an old man wearing a Daoist robe with white hair and beard.

It was precisely their Master, Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, Jieyin and his companion understood that their Master’s strength was even more terrifying and powerful.

As Saints, their strength improved very slowly.

Yet their Master, whose strength was already terrifying, could still advance by leaps and bounds like this.

Truly worthy of being the legendary Dao Ancestor.

"Disciple Jieyin, disciple Zhunti, pay respects to the Master."

Jieyin and Zhunti immediately bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, Jieyin, Zhunti, regarding the matter of the Investiture of the Gods you mentioned, tell me about it properly." Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s expression was very calm.

"Yes, Master." Jieyin nodded.

Then he slowly told about the Jie Sect disciples breaking free from the Investiture of the Gods and the Jie Sect disciples coming to target the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

"So you think Tongtian has someone behind him, and that person might cause huge harm to the Primordial World?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said.

"Yes, Master." Jieyin answered. "The Investiture of the Gods is the great trend of the Heavenly Dao, and the Buddhist Sect’s Great Calamity is also the great trend of the Heavenly Dao; isn't that what the Master said?"

"Hmm, I understand." Hongjun nodded. "Jieyin, Zhunti, you may go back; regarding the matter at Tongtian’s, I will handle it."

"Yes, Master, the disciples take their leave." Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, their eyes carrying some smiles, and slowly left the Zixiao Palace.

With the Dao Ancestor interfering this time, no matter who was behind Tongtian, it would be impossible to continue helping Tongtian Jiaozhu.

As for the existence behind Tongtian, that was not something they should worry about.

It was something their Master, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, had to worry about.

"Tongtian." Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s eyes flashed with a certain color; perhaps he could know of the existence of that powerhouse from his disciple, Tongtian.

For Hongjun, this existence that appeared abruptly in the Primordial was more powerful than him.

Previously, Hongjun had wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to calculate Wu Feng’s existence.

But what shocked Hongjun in the end was that the Heavenly Dao was actually afraid and then ran away.

The Heavenly Dao had no consciousness, only instinct.

If even the instinct was afraid and ran away, how strong was that existence? Hongjun could no longer imagine.

At least it was beyond the level of the Heavenly Dao, right?

"A powerhouse at the Great Dao level?"

Hongjun’s thoughts ran wild.

Mount Huaguo, grocery store.

"Achoo." Wu Feng sneezed and rubbed his nose. "Who is thinking of me?"

"However, the harvest this time is also not bad." Wu Feng thought about the harvest this time.

The treasures obtained by Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Xiao.

Wu Feng was the same.

And they were treasures that had been amplified.

"The Holy Mother Jin Ling obtained the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, which transformed into the Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Technique." Wu Feng felt the cultivation technique in his mind.

Without a doubt, this was also a cultivation technique that could prove the Dao and become a Saint.

It was just that the resources required for it were also very numerous.

A Saint-level cultivation technique could almost not be found in the Primordial World, but for Wu Feng, it was truly becoming a dime a dozen.

The God-Demon World-Suppressing Method, the Pangu Body-Refining Technique, and now the Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

That was three cultivation techniques for proving the Hunyuan.

Not to mention there were other related powerful moves and divine abilities.

"The Holy Mother Wu Dang obtained the Lesser Destiny Art, which was amplified into the Great Dao of Destiny."

The Great Dao of Destiny—this was not something the Lesser Destiny Art could compare to.

The Lesser Destiny Art only slightly involved the power of destiny; for the Holy Mother Wu Dang to want to realize the Great Dao of Destiny through the Lesser Destiny Art, it would also take some time.

And the Great Dao of Destiny that Wu Feng obtained was the truly complete Great Dao power.
