Chapter 838: Sealing the Taiji

After listening, Tongtian Jiaozhu also frowned in thought.

Only those with cultivation above the Great Luo Golden Immortal could leave Yao Bin with no power to fight back.

This range is not small.

But to be able to isolate Laozi's sense, I fear only the various Saints could do it.

Of course, other special methods cannot be ruled out, but this possibility is very small.

After a long while, Tongtian Jiaozhu looked up and said, "Eldest Brother, I fear only the various Saints could isolate your sense of the Taiji Diagram. But this poor Daoist can say honestly that this was not done by me."

Although he felt some dissatisfaction in his heart regarding Laozi borrowing the Chan Sect's Taiji Diagram.

But these were all minor matters.

The disappearance of the Taiji Diagram was the major matter.

Laozi looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, and only after a long while did he slowly nod.

Having been brothers for countless years, he knew Tongtian Jiaozhu's character; it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he was also a proud person.

The personalities and tempers of Nuwa and Houtu also made it unlikely they would do such a thing, so after thinking it over, among the various Saints, only Zhunti Daoren could have done it.

Since becoming a Saint, Zhunti Daoren had often snuck into the East and abducted many Heavenly Prides.

As for other insidious matters, there were even more.

Thinking of this, Laozi could not help but look at Zhunti Daoren again.

Not only him, but Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu also looked at Zhunti Daoren.

Zhunti Daoren was instantly enraged, his voice rising as he said, "What is the meaning of this? Are you suspecting this poor Daoist?"

Laozi nodded and said, "Correct."

Jieyin Daoren frowned and said with hidden anger, "Eldest Senior Brother, these words go too far. If you do not believe it, why not go to Zixiao Palace? We can go find the Teacher to confront him; the Teacher will certainly know the whereabouts of the Taiji Diagram."

Being suspected by Laozi, he was very displeased.

But to avoid being suspected and targeted by the Three Pure Ones, he could only speak some soft words to dispel the suspicion.

Hongjun Daozu has already achieved Joining the Dao; it is impossible for anything in the Honghuang to be hidden from him.

Laozi frowned.

Listening to Jieyin Daoren's meaning, it seemed it really was not done by them.

Could it be Nuwa and Houtu?

As for going to Zixiao Palace, he could not afford to lose that much face.

Anyway, in his heart, he believed someone had only used special means to isolate his sense of the Taiji Diagram, but it was absolutely impossible for them to claim it as their own, because the Taiji Diagram had already been refined by him, and his Primordial Spirit imprint was hidden inside.

Even with the Primordial Spirit imprint, even Peak Quasi-Saints like Zhenyuanzi and Minghe Laozu could not refine it.

Since it could not be taken, there was no need to worry too much.

Sooner or later, he would certainly find it.

And time has no meaning to a Saint, but this face was definitely lost.

Yao Bin's pupils shrank slightly.

Hearing this, he finally understood: the person who snatched the Taiji Diagram had actually really snatched the Taiji Diagram!

He had previously been sneering at how bold and how foolish the other party was.

Daring to even snatch a Saint's supreme treasure.

Now it seemed this was not the other party being bold, nor was it the other party being foolish, but that they truly had the means.

It was just, why did the other party not kill him?

Tongtian said, "In that case, the most likely ones are Nuwa and Houtu. Eldest Brother, why don't you go look for them? If it is not them, then investigate down the line according to cultivation, starting from Zhenyuanzi, Minghe Laozu, Kunpeng, the Queen Mother of the West, Haotian, and others."

Laozi frowned, then slowly shook his head.

For one, he truly did not want to lose this face, so of course he could not investigate with great fanfare.

For another, although Zhenyuanzi and the others were not Saints, they were all Quasi-Saint level Great Powers and all had high reputations; he could not investigate them unscrupulously.

Not to mention that doing so would be detrimental to his reputation, it might also push Zhenyuanzi and the others toward other Saints.

The current various Quasi-Sages are basically independent of the various Saints. But if he were to investigate like this, it would very likely cause them to secretly lean toward Nuwa, Houtu, or even the Western Sect.

"This matter, this poor Daoist will investigate in secret."

Finally, Laozi said with a solemn expression.

His gaze swept past Yuanshi Tianzun and the others and landed on Yao Bin.

Yao Bin gave a start and hurriedly swore, "Disciple swears, I will absolutely not leak any information."

Yuanshi Tianzun and the other three also understood Laozi's meaning, which was that he hoped they could keep it a secret.

The four naturally nodded as well.

At least on the surface, they had to show support; as for what happened behind the scenes, no one could manage that.

…………

Yin Qi did not know about the matters at Biyou Palace.

Perhaps Laozi would act out of desperation, perhaps he would investigate in secret, but in the end, it could only end up as nothing.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Inner Heaven and Earth.

Looking at the Taiji Diagram in his hand, Yin Qi could not help but exclaim in admiration.

It truly is worthy of being an Innate Supreme Treasure.

It constantly radiates a rich Dao rhyme, as if it is evolving the principles of yin and yang; even a mortal, if they were to take one look, would likely fall into a state of enlightenment and grasp the Dao of yin and yang.

If a Peak Heavenly Immortal were to cultivate beside the Taiji Diagram, there would simply be no bottleneck in breaking through to a Mysterious Immortal.

It is just a pity that the Taiji Diagram has already been refined by Laozi.

Otherwise, by utilizing the Taiji Diagram to refine the forty-nine Innate Restrictions within it, he would be confident in advancing his Yin-Yang Law by another great step, reaching the 'Tree Trunk' or even the 'Tree Root' realm.

The 'Tree Root' realm of law means comprehending the source of law, allowing one to modify or even create laws at will; this is a profound and mysterious supreme realm.

Yin Qi believes that if one could truly reach this realm, they would be the embodiment of the Great Dao.

Or perhaps it could be called the Master of the Great Dao.

"Altar, to seal the aura of the Taiji Diagram, or rather to isolate Laozi's sensing, how much Luck is required?"

Yin Qi communicated with the Luck Altar.

Although his Inner Heaven and Earth can also isolate Laozi's sensing, when he enters or exits and opens his Inner Heaven and Earth, it is actually in an opened state, connected to the Primordial World.

Even if the time spent is very short, it would still be sensed by Laozi, so he needs to seal the Taiji Diagram.

"Twenty zhang!"

A grand voice resounded in his mind.

Yin Qi's expression brightened; this was much less than he had imagined.

Currently, his Luck has already risen to three hundred and fifteen zhang, and it will continue to grow steadily in the future, so twenty zhang of Luck is not a large number.

"Seal it."

"As you wish."

As his Luck decreased, a ray of Chaos-colored light descended from Heaven and landed on the Taiji Diagram; one could see the surface of the Taiji Diagram covered by a faint film, which would not be noticeable unless one looked closely.

Yin Qi could not help but smile with joy.

Once he cultivates to become a Saint, he can forcibly refine it and make it his own.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Yin Qi's mind, and he hurriedly communicated with the Luck Altar: "Altar, if I use the Taiji Diagram in the outside world, will it break the seal, will Laozi sense it, and how much of the Taiji Diagram's power can I unleash?"

Very quickly, the grand voice sounded: "It will not break the seal, but as long as it is used, it will be sensed by Laozi. As for how much power can be unleashed, it depends on your cultivation."

"I see."

Yin Qi sighed; it seems there is no way to exploit a bug.

However, in a moment of crisis, it is not impossible to use; he just needs to hide before Laozi arrives.

This counts as a trump card. (End of chapter)
