Chapter 1425 - Chapter 1425 Chapter 600 First Meeting with Hongjun Heavenly

Chapter 1425: Chapter 600: First Meeting with Hongjun, Heavenly Mandate Calamity Chapter 1425: Chapter 600: First Meeting with Hongjun, Heavenly Mandate Calamity Such a supreme existence, watching from the highest Chaos, would see this scene through a macroscopic view.

Before the vast ancient world, a gigantic gray halo suspended in Chaos.

A black mountain, slightly smaller than the gray halo, drifted away from the position of the halo.

The ancient world is the Ancient Great World, and the gray halo is the passage from the Ancient Great World to Chaos, or rather, the active manifestation of the Ancient Great World in Chaos, connecting Chaos with the nine continents within the ancient world.

The mountain, naturally, belongs to one of the Great Chaotic Forces, the Demon Witch Mountain.

When the Calamity Tao Ancestor turned to look, Han Yi also turned, witnessing the dozens of figures, including the ancient Taoist ahead, who exuded an overwhelming sense of ancientness and vicissitudes.

Han Yi was shocked inside his heart.

Following the Calamity Tao Ancestor’s bow and the greeting “Greetings, Great Heavenly Sovereign,” Han Yi instantly recognized the true identity of the Taoist.

Kunlun Immortal Realm, Mount Kunlun, currently the strongest in the Ancient Great World, Taoist Hongjun.

Having ascended to the level of Immortal Venerate of Xuancang Palace, Han Yi’s understanding of the Ancient Great World had deepened immensely, nearly rivaling that of the Ancestors, except for a few core and critical issues which he had not fully grasped yet.

In the Ancient Great World, before the ancient lands fragmented, there were two Heavenly Sovereigns: one was the Immortal Path Great Heavenly Sovereign, this ancient Taoist, Hongjun Great Heavenly Sovereign, and the other was the Great Reincarnation Celestial Sovereign.

After the ancient fragmentation, Reincarnation fragmented along with it, the rank of Great Heavenly Sovereign shattered, with no such position thereafter.

Later, another Great Heavenly Sovereign appeared in the Immortal Realm, who is extremely mysterious, known only by his Tao Title, “Taoist Immortal,” within the Xuancang Palace, with little else revealed.

Thus, there are still two Great Heavenly Sovereigns in the Ancient Great World, Hongjun Great Heavenly Sovereign and Taoist Immortal Great Heavenly Sovereign.

However,

Han Yi searched all available information and found no trace or clue of the Taoist Immortal Great Heavenly Sovereign, leading him to realize that the secrets associated with this Celestial Sovereign, even the Immortal Venerates, were momentarily blocked and unknown.

Thus, he could only let it be.

After the fall of the Extreme Ancient Great World Lord, regardless of the time, Hongjun was always the first Great Heavenly Sovereign of the Ancient Great World.

Suddenly, Han Yi remembered that he still possessed a token of the Interception Sect. The Interception Sect was a sworn enemy of the Way. The fall of the Sky-reaching Sword Lord might have likely been linked to this Great Heavenly Sovereign.

In other words, it was possible that after recognizing him, the sovereign could simply crush him with a single palm.

With this thought,

Han Yi bowed his head in silence, omitting the “greeting” since he did not qualify to greet the first figure of the Ancient Great World.

Far behind, newly issued with a token, Demon Emperor Dijun had a glint in his eye. Alongside those nearby such as Taicang, Haotian, and Ying Long, he bent reverently and said,

“Greetings, Great Heavenly Sovereign.”

After stepping forward, Hongjun’s first glance was towards the departing Demon Witch Mountain. His deep and calm eyes betrayed no emotion.

Following this,

He glanced once more at the gray giant halo, then moved his gaze to land on Dijun, who, in that instant, felt his heart pulse to an extreme, feeling utterly transparent as if his numerous past experiences, including his recent conversation with Wangxi Mountain Master, were being fully scrutinized.

Having understood the cause and effect, Hongjun summoned from afar, taking the token from Dijun’s hand.

Although Dijun struggled in expression, he did not resist, letting go of the token, letting it fly out.

If Hongjun had not appeared, he would definitely not have surrendered this token, even if other Heavenly Sovereigns approached, he would have contended for it, as Donghuang Taiyi had already become a Heavenly Sovereign, a status he justly held.

But facing the first person of the Ancient Great World, he had no confidence whatsoever.

Acquiring the token, a streak of white light flashed through Hongjun’s eyes, falling upon the token, reviving a mysterious aura.

However, this aura barely revived before Hongjun suppressed it again.

He pocketed the token, slowly stating:

“The token is authentic, originating from the Dao God Sect of the Central Dao Region.”

“Gentlemen,”

“Do not underestimate the Tao Tomb; countless ancient worlds will be destroyed because of it.”

“The Dao God Sect and Demon Witch Mountain are both Great Chaotic Forces, each containing a Half-Step Transcendent one. Their constructed Crossing the Tomb Alliance must be joined by the Ancient Great World.”

“This act is decreed by the Heavenly Mandate Calamity.”

After saying this, the Great Heavenly Sovereign turned and walked towards the halo, his figure merging into the passage and vanishing from sight.

After his departure, those dozens of figures who had similarly emerged from the passage remained silent for an instant before gradually beginning to converse.

Behind the Calamity Tao Ancestor, Han Yi, sensing Hongjun’s departure, dared to slowly raise his head.

He discreetly surveyed the scene, his heart shaken again.

Because in front of the halo, among the dozens of figures, the weakest were Immortal Venerates, most were Ancestors, and there were three Heavenly Sovereigns.

These three Heavenly Sovereigns, one from Eternal Life, one from Kunlun, the third Han Yi could not recognize, as Xuancang Palace had no information on him.

The other Ancestors mostly hailed from Kunlun, Penglai, and the Eternal Life World, including the Pure Yang Ancestor Han Yi had once met and that mysterious Zhen Yuan Ancestor.

“Let’s go back,”

After greeting other familiar Ancestors, the Calamity Tao Ancestor said to Han Yi, then led him into the Halo Passage.

Entering the Halo Passage again, they found themselves within a massive space, its walls adorned with purple lights traveling its surface, presenting a strikingly magnificent sight. Besides the largest passage at their back, nine large passages stood at nine directions, leading to nine worlds.
