Chapter 757

Did the Yuan Ming Tianzhu act, and why act now?

Li Yuan's thoughts churned, but even though Qing Di Yan and others had fully perfected the spell-seals of the Concealment Technique, the gap in realm was too vast—he could not perceive even a shred.

In truth, the Da Luo Tu Lu radiated across all realms, and countless Tianzhu and Dao Jun were entangled within it; not even he, let alone the Xuan Huang San Sheng, who were themselves Tianzhu-level, could divine the heavenly patterns.

"What the Tianzhu seek is likely the Fa Wang, or the Xuan Huang Great World itself—or perhaps both…"

Li Yuan pondered.

The fact that eight Dao Jun—or even Tianzhu—might act could not possibly be for the Wei Tian Wu Dou.

Through the Jian Lian Body, he gazed at the San Sheng Temple on Ling Miao Island; all was normal, with no anomaly—clearly, the Dao Jun-level struggle had not yet reached this place.

"Hum~"

At that moment, Li Yuan stirred, sensing a tremor in the Yuan Ying Yang Yang Tree within the Xuan Teng tree's shadow:

"Ying Mo Shen?"

Li Yuan was startled, then focused his perception.

Before the Wu Dou began, he had sent the Ying Mo Shen to the Ming Fu—to gather intelligence, and secondly, to use the Ming Fu's power to further obscure the heavenly patterns.

"Hum~"

Before the Ming Lou, the Ying Mo Shen stood still; the stone steles on either side had both changed.

The right stele was where many Ming Fu practitioners exchanged information, and one of his most important sources.

All of Li Yuan's intelligence on the Xuan Huang Great World came from here.

After the Wu Dou began, its tasks changed significantly, with many new ones related to the Xuan Huang Great World and the Wei Tian Wu Dou.

But the change on the left stele—he had never seen anything like it since joining the Ming Fu.

【Unranked Task: Wu Dou】

【The Dao Sects have reopened the Wu Dou; this time, the venue is the Xuan Huang Great World… Among all Dao Sects, any cultivator whose lifespan has not yet expired shall participate…】

Through the Ying Mo Shen's perspective, Li Yuan clearly saw the text flowing across the stele.

The Wu Dou in Xuan Huang was already known to the Ming Fu, and the Ming Fu understood its rules in great detail—even listing the Sun, Moon, and Star Rankings of this Wu Dou.

"Sun Rank First: Jiu Ji Tian?"

Li Yuan immediately spotted Fu Jiu Dao Ren; clearly, this one had been fully exposed—not only his name, but also his deeds.

【Fu Jiu Dao Ren, original name Jiu Ji Tian, innate Sword Dao Sacred Body, already reached the Eighth Realm, possesses extraordinary killing talent, character arrogant and flamboyant…】

【On the day after entering the Wu Dou, he slew one cultivator of the San Sheng Jiao, attempted soul extraction with no result, was detected by the Fa Wang, then fell under the San Sheng Jiao's pursuit; over the past year, he slew over three hundred and twenty cultivators of the Seventh Realm, nine of the Eighth Realm, and one of the Ninth Realm…】

【…He pierced through voids and crossed realms, battling fiercely with San Sheng Jiao cultivators in the fissures between the three thousand worlds of Xuan Huang…】

"Truly ruthless."

Li Yuan muttered in awe.

The Sun Rank of the Wu Dou included countless Wei Tian Dao Sect disciples—all true heirs whose lifespans had not yet ended; how many strong ones were there?

That Jiu Ji Tian could suppress figures like Fu Long Dao Ren and Chi Long Dao Ren—imagine the scale of chaos he caused.

With admiration, Li Yuan read line by line.

Aside from Jiu Ji Tian, all others on the list had been detected by the Fa Wang and were being hunted, and all had strictly suppressed their qi rather than fighting head-on.

The stele listed only the top thirty of the Sun, Moon, and Star Rankings; Li Yuan glanced and saw no other familiar names.

Clearly, most Dao Sect disciples were lying low.

"I wonder where Yuan Shixiong and Gu Mr. are?"

Li Yuan suddenly thought of Yuan Han and Gu Xuan Sheng.

In the past, he had assumed they risked entering the Xuan Huang Great World merely to seek a reversal of their primordial fate; now, he believed they likely acted on their Master's orders.

"Yuan Shixiong and the others probably knew about the Fa Wang's intelligence long ago…"

Li Yuan pondered, continuing to read.

After listing vast amounts of intelligence, the stele finally revealed the task's content.

【Hunt: Sabotage the Dao Sect Wu Dou, slay Dao Sect disciples, gain Great Yin Virtue】

【Seize Heaven: The Xuan Huang Great World is a Supreme-Level Wei Tian of the Gui Xu, containing three thousand great worlds and countless sub-dimensions; seize any sub-dimension or great world to gain Great Yin Virtue…】

"Truly impartial."

Li Yuan grumbled inwardly—this was indeed the Ming Fu's way.

Whether Dao Sect or Gui Xu, all were treated equally—anyone who could be fought, was fought.

At the bottom of the stele, a line of text glowed faint gold—this was why the Ying Mo Shen had contacted him directly:

【Method of Seizing Heaven】

【With this method, one may seize alternate sub-dimensions】

"How generous."

Li Yuan focused his mind, and immediately felt a torrent of information surging like a flood.

"Seizing Heaven" referred to the Wei Tian.

Of course, the Great Art granted by the Ming Fu was incomplete—it contained only the method to seize sub-dimensional worlds.

"Huh~"

Moments later, Li Yuan memorized this Great Art.

This Great Art was not particularly refined; much of its content he already understood.

Seizing a sub-dimensional Wei Tian resembled the way the Fa Jie devoured Guidi, but far more complex and far more dangerous.

A sub-dimension, no matter how small, was vastly larger than a single life-bearing star; whether to fully drain its essence or use it to nourish one's own Fa Jie, it was an unimaginable boon.

"Sub-dimension, world, Wei Tian."

Before the stele, Li Yuan's gaze burned bright.

This Seizing Heaven Great Art divided the endless worlds of the Gui Xu into three tiers, each with upper and lower divisions.

Lower sub-dimensions, like Yuan Ying Jie, could barely nurture cultivators of the Sixth or Seventh Realm; upper sub-dimensions, like Shi Li Jie, could sustain half-step Dao Jun.

Worlds, naturally, were great worlds capable of housing Dao Jun—among them, the upper ones could even sustain multiple Dao Jun.
