Chapter 982: Supreme Louguan, Dao Lord Xuanwei

Escaping into the void and fleeing all the way to a desolate island in the Bohai Sea, Daoist Daoist Tongshen, still shaken, regained his senses. He turned and bowed to Lord Chi Chi Fenruo: "Many thanks to the Venerable Lord for the rescue!"

"It wasn't just me who saved you!"

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo picked at the broken nail on his right hand, his expression carrying a hint of strangeness: "That Immortal from the Western Continent hid for so long, yet spared no effort to expose his identity for your sake. It shows your value is far from simple, so don't thank me; it is you who demonstrated your own value."

"Value?"

Daoist Daoist Tongshen gave a bitter smile: "Besides offending a Dao Lord and being extremely unlucky, this old Daoist doesn't know what other value I have..."

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo plucked off the broken fingernail of his right ring finger, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he smiled: "Perhaps, this is your value!"

"The revival ancestor of the Louguan Dao, Dao Lord Xuanwei, Qian Chen!"

"Even I tremble and cannot control myself when I hear of such a great figure!"

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo patted Daoist Daoist Tongshen's cheek and smiled: "For two ants like you and Miaokong to be able to forge such karma with such an existence is also a strange fate."

Daoist Daoist Tongshen's face turned red, and he defended himself: "At that time, he was just a child of ten-odd years, and his name was also Li Er. We... how were we to know he was that great figure from history? And in the future, he is a Dao Lord, but now, he might not be!"

"If he were a Dao Lord of the Earth Immortal Realm, that would be one thing! Relying on the protection of the Lord of Samsara, if you can't afford to provoke him, can't you afford to hide? But you insisted on bringing him into the Samsara world. You must know that the Samsara world connects the past and future, and time is not fixed. At least in your and my time, he was already a Dao Lord, wasn't he?"

Daoist Daoist Tongshen was speechless.

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo's expression was indifferent as he picked at his nails: "And you, how do you know he isn't a Dao Lord now?"

"Don't forget, the Samsara mission has no concept of time. Perhaps who you encountered was that Qian Chen, who had already attained the Dao Lord realm millions of years later in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Daoist Daoist Tongshen's body trembled slightly, but he still raised his head and said: "If I encountered a Dao Lord, let alone the Venerable Lord taking action, even if our Black Tai Sui Alliance's twelve Nascent Souls... no, now it is eleven Nascent Souls all here together, I fear they couldn't save me."

"He might not be his true self, and in this world, who knows if he has some scruples?"

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo was thoughtful.

"This world has the Twelve Shichen. Our alliance previously guessed that those Twelve Shichen are likely twelve Dao Lords who have entrusted their Dao fruits here. They operate their Dao fruits, using the universe as a furnace, collecting the myriad living beings and endless spirituality as medicine to refine precious Dao seeds."

"And we Samsara travelers are the pawns sent here by the Lord of Samsara to collect offerings for Him, and also the medicinal ingredients the Lord of Samsara has invested here."

"If Qian Chen has already attained the Dao Lord realm, then it wouldn't be strange if he were among the Twelve Shichen..."

Daoist Daoist Tongshen's heart trembled again, and he said solemnly: "If so... aren't we entering the trap, throwing ourselves into the net? No, it's even more terrifying than that. I am but an ant, yet that great enemy has already become a Dao Lord, even opening up a universe and standing high above. For the Venerable Lord to help me become his enemy! How is this different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot?"

"If there were only one Shichen, then my only choice would be to abandon the mission and spend a huge price to ask the Lord of Samsara to send me out!"

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo laughed at this moment: "But this world has twelve Shichen, and they must check and balance each other. In this way, that Dao Lord Xuanwei's energy is mostly tied up, giving us ants a chance to struggle and breathe. Don't forget! It was the Mirror Lord's light that broke Dao Lord Qian Chen's calculations and opened a glimmer of survival for you."

"It is also because Dao Lord Qian Chen's true self is a Shichen that his main body must be operating this universe. What kind of magic power can a single thought he drops have?"

"He is but a main god!"

Daoist Daoist Tongshen was silent for a long time before giving a bitter smile: "The Venerable Lord is truly daring!"

"No, it is you who do not know what kind of benefits this world contains. If you don't know, you are naturally afraid; if you know, you will also be greedy!" Lord Chi Chi Fenruo said calmly: "Moreover, Big Brother has entrusted his Dao seed to the Samsara Heavens for hundreds of thousands of years, spending countless moralities, asking the Lord of Samsara to operate the Samsara Heavens, and absorbing the Dao rhymes emitted by countless Samsara worlds to nourish it. Now, he is only a hair's breadth away from forming the Dao fruit and attaining the Dao Lord realm."

"But that hair's breadth is a heavenly chasm..."

"In the end, it is missing a strand—of Qi luck!"

"Is Venerable Kundun about to attain the Dao Lord realm?"

Daoist Daoist Tongshen was shocked. It wasn't that the realm of the Nascent Soul True Immortal at the head of the Black Tai Sui Alliance exceeded his expectations, but that such secrets were likely not known to everyone among the Nascent Souls in the alliance.

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo told him so easily; Daoist Daoist Tongshen shouldn't think that Lord Chi Chi Fenruo considered him reliable.

It only meant that in Lord Chi Chi Fenruo's planning, he was very important—the kind of importance that concerns success or failure.

"Juna is dead, and although you have been severely injured, your soul has already become pure yang. You are only a hair's breadth away from breaking through the barrier of life and death and attaining the Nascent Soul. Are you interested in inheriting Juna's position in the alliance and becoming the Shen-position Heavenly Demon?"

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo did not answer directly but gave Daoist Daoist Tongshen an incredibly tempting choice.

Inheriting Juna's position meant becoming one of the twelve power-holders of the Black Tai Sui Alliance.

Daoist Daoist Tongshen knew the strength of the Black Tai Sui Alliance well. Among the many organizations in the Samsara Land, although the Black Tai Sui Alliance was not first-tier and was still a Dao Lord away from second-tier, it was second to none among third-tier organizations.

Twelve Nascent Soul True Immortals—overturning a realm was just a daily activity.

The alliance controlled at least eighty thousand Samsara worlds. Although they varied in size, the strong ones possessed several Nascent Soul True Immortals, and the Black Tai Sui Alliance was just one of the largest forces among them; the weak ones were enough to be honored even with just a Golden Core.

But as one of the power-holders of such a massive force, the resources beneath the Nascent Soul realm could be said to be inexhaustible.

And the morality offered in the alliance was enough to satisfy his rapid progress after the Nascent Soul realm.

Even for Nascent Soul True Immortals, the treatment in the Samsara Land was different. Although lone cultivators could be carefree, the elixirs and resources for Nascent Soul cultivation were expensive. Most Nascent Soul True Immortals, under stable cultivation conditions, maintained a mission frequency of once every hundred years, and the morality gained was only enough for their own cultivation.

But organizations like the Black Tai Sui Alliance, which mastered a portion of the Samsara authority, could act as Samsara walkers, summoning and cultivating Samsara travelers to participate in missions.

Exploiting the subordinate Samsara travelers, the offerings of one Venerable were enough to support the cultivation of at least three Nascent Soul True Immortals.

It is said that after condensing a Dao seed, to cultivate the Dao seed's growth, at least origin power at the cosmic level is needed.

At that time, the Lord of Samsara exploited even more ruthlessly. The Samsara Heavens, provided as the supreme place gathering countless Samsara worlds for Nascent Souls to plant their Dao, had a price that could make even True Immortals who had condensed Dao seeds tremble.

Yet the Black Tai Sui Alliance could support a Dao seed until it almost bore fruit; its foundation could be seen from this.

Daoist Daoist Tongshen pulled his thoughts away from those various temptations and said honestly with a bitter smile: "If the Venerable Lord has any orders, just say them. If it aligns with this old Daoist's interests, then this old Daoist will naturally cooperate with all my strength. If there is any deceit, the Venerable Lord shouldn't think that this old Daoist would walk down a dark path to the end, right!"

"At that time, if we cooperate, it will be mutually beneficial, and this old Daoist will have merit in the alliance, so the Juna title will naturally come to pass."

"Speaking of it now, it is just a pie in the sky, and this old Daoist has a small stomach and cannot eat it..."

"Hahaha..."

Lord Chi Chi Fenruo stood with his hands behind his back and laughed: "This secret is known to few organizations in the Samsara Land. Those who can truly grasp one or two are all the true giants of the Samsara Land. Such as the Taiqing Sect, the Dark Demon Sect, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Council of the Lord of Time and Space, the Great Wilderness Gathering, the Mother River of Arcane Magic, the Pantheon, and so on. Even some second-tier organizations do not know the mystery within."

"Speaking of which, this matter also has to do with that group of Fangshi from the Immortal Qin."

"When the Immortal Qin unified the Earth Immortal Realm and began to conquer the myriad worlds of the sea, they also reached into the Samsara Land. For this, they even dispatched Meng Tian to lead a great army on an expedition to the Samsara Land, building a Great Wall above the endless Samsara worlds, surrounding the past and future where the Immortal Qin of the Earth Immortal Realm was located, guarding the Immortal Qin's river of time. Even Crown Prince Fusu came to the Great Wall to guard the Immortal Qin's river of time."

"The reason was that when the Immortal Qin was exploring the Samsara Land, they discovered a special kind of world."

"According to those Fangshi, those worlds possessed 'True History of the Great Wilderness'."

"That is to say, those worlds, sooner or later, all had a Great Qin, all had a Qin Qin Shi Huang, and even in those worlds, the Great Qin collapsed in the second generation, and Crown Prince Fusu could never ascend the throne. They had the Hundred Schools of Thought and projections of Sages before, and the Three Kingdoms of Tang and Han, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties after."

"If their history lagged behind the Earth Immortal Realm, it could still be said to be a projection of the myriad worlds, but some of them went even further, even revealing a portion of fate and historical trajectory."

"This caused a shock to the Qin Qin Shi Huang, so the Immortal Qin began to secretly explore those worlds."

"And the essence of those worlds was also extremely special, often possessing origin power exceeding that of ordinary worlds. The Fang Immortal Dao obtained a lot of extremely precious knowledge while exploring those worlds, and the Immortal Qin's Dao of Creation benefited infinitely."

"But what is even more thought-provoking is, what secrets were hidden in those worlds, the so-called True History of the Great Wilderness?"

"The Earth Immortal Realm has produced many outstanding figures. The Hundred Schools of Thought have produced nearly a hundred Dao Lords, and the Qin Qin Shi Huang of the Immortal Qin even swept across the six directions to attain the Emperor Dao fruit. Do these people having such achievements have any relationship with their status in the True History of the Great Wilderness?"

"Blessed by Qi luck?"

"Or is there truly a Heavenly Mandate?"

"After this secret spread, it attracted the pursuit of many Samsara organizations, but worlds that truly possess the True History of the Great Wilderness are extremely hidden, and even possess some terrifyingly extreme power hidden within. For example, the Kunlun world where Juna previously died, later investigated by Big Brother, was a world possessing the True History of the Great Wilderness!"

"And that world's river of time keeps pushing toward a mysterious and unpredictable future, hidden within which is great terror, extremely terrifying. Even Big Brother's clone fell into it."

"Big Brother said that even if his true self went there, there is a great possibility of falling there." ===== CHAPTER 983 =====
