Chapter 1539 - Chapter 1539 Chapter 656 Mysterious Capital Taoist Ancestor

Chapter 1539: Chapter 656: Mysterious Capital Taoist Ancestor, Four Sources Ancient Land Chapter 1539: Chapter 656: Mysterious Capital Taoist Ancestor, Four Sources Ancient Land As the Yuandao World made contact with and began to fuse into the Ancient Great World, the entire Hangu Plain began to experience cataclysmic changes.

The entire plain, starting from the point of contact between the two worlds, began to shift outward amidst the tremors, as though a new landmass was forcibly squeezing into the Ancient Great World and expanding the Hangu Plain.

And in fact, that was the case.

The Yuandao World was originally a part of the Ancient Great World that was seized and refined by the Yuandao Heaven Sovereign at the end of the Primordial Era, after the rupture of the Ancient World. It was initially part of the Ancient Great World, and now, it was merely returning.

At this moment, with the return of the Primordial Dao,

outside the Hangu Plain, countless silhouettes stood firm upon the void, each emitting an aura so terrifying that even the heaven and earth trembled. All Great Dao Principles wrapped around them, acting docile to the point of ridiculousness.

These figures were all Taoist Ancestors, or Chaos Strong Ones equivalent to the Tao Ancestor Realm.

Among them were the mightiest Taoist Ancestors from Mount Kunlun as well as strong ones indigenous to the area, such as those from Penglai, Mount Bu Zhou, Daluo Age Candle, Daluo East Emperor, and Witch Ancestor from the Eternal Life World.

Of course, there were even more Taoist Ancestor Level strong ones who came from Chaos due to the calamities of the Tao Tomb, such as from Purgatory Island, Void Demon Palace, and Free Demon Heaven.

When the Yuandao World formally made contact with the Hangu Plain, that is, when it officially fused with the Ancient Nine Realms, the Tao Principles of both worlds clashed. The Yuandao World then only allowed cultivators below the Taoist Ancestor Level to enter.

And these Tao Ancestors outside the Hangu Plain, though they could not enter and could not even clearly see the inside, still came.

Because those who stepped into the Yuandao World were merely pawns; they were the flag bearers. The final distribution of the unique objects of Primordial Dao would depend on the flag bearers.

Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor sat cross-legged in the sky, with a palace of Thirty-Three Heavens projected behind him. Each layer of the palace was actually a Tao Realm, and he was only three heavens away from the Perfect Realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens, or the complete Tao Ancestor Realm.

His realm was, indeed, that of a peak Taoist Ancestor.

This was thanks to his countless years in seclusion after being injured and also due to the relaxation of restrictions by the Ancient Heavenly Tao on the beings within the realm after the calamity of the Tao Tomb.

With each opening and closing of his eyes, Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor’s gaze, deep and restrained, swept around. Each of the Taoist Ancestors fell into his sight until finally, his gaze landed on a refined and peaceful middle-aged man who showed not a trace of Immortal Path aura, looking just like an ordinary person. His expression finally changed, becoming solemn.

“Mysterious Capital Grand Taoist Ancestor from Mount Kunlun.”

In the Ancient Great World, the title of Great Heavenly Venerate was a term of the highest honor, referring to two people. One was the Great Reincarnation Celestial Sovereign, who possessed the status of reincarnation. However, after the disappearance of the Extreme Ancient Great World Lord, the Great Reincarnation Celestial Sovereign had perished.

The other was Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate, and his status was earned through strength. Strictly speaking, he was the strongest in the Ancient Nine Realms currently, following the disappearance of the Extreme Ancient Great World Lord. Even if the Great Reincarnation Celestial Sovereign was to return, he would no longer be a match.

It was said that Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate was only a step away from the next realm, yet this step had eluded him for several Chaos Eras.

Besides,

In the current Ancient Nine Realms, there was another special title, “Great Taoist Ancestor,” which was directed at the middle-aged man whom Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor was looking at, the Mysterious Capital Taoist Ancestor.

The Mysterious Capital Taoist Ancestor of Kunlun was a Taoist Ancestor whose title of Great Taoist Ancestor naturally stemmed from his strength. At the level of Taoist Ancestor, he could battle a Heavenly Sovereign.

According to rumors, the Great Taoist Ancestor could step into the Realm of Heavenly Sovereign at any moment, but due to some reasons unknown to the outside world, he did not wish to break through and chose instead to confine himself within the Tao Ancestor Realm.

The presence of the Mysterious Capital Grand Taoist Ancestor now placed a great pressure on Xuan Zang, making him intensely solemn within.

He took a deep breath, with thoughts swirling in his mind. He had decided that if he truly encountered the Mysterious Capital Grand Taoist Ancestor, he would have only one course of action: to flee back to the Immortal Court and activate the Age Candle’s array to resist and withstand.

Aside from him,

All the Taoist Ancestors who had appeared around the Hangu Plain also looked with gravity, and even reverence, towards this peaceful-looking middle-aged man without a hint of Taoist Ancestor aura.

The Taoist Ancestors from various forces within Chaos, particularly those who arrived in the Kunlun Immortal Realm or those who were close to it, were extremely cautious, for the number of Taoist Ancestors who had perished at the hands of the Mysterious Capital Grand Taoist Ancestor over the years exceeded the fingers on both hands.

Elsewhere,

As the Yuandao World merged with the Ancient Great World, within the Yuandao World, countless Immortal Venerates who had breached the boundary of the Yuandao World and entered were now eyeing the raging Tao Principles, searching for treasures.

It could be said that anything that still existed under the fury of the Tao Principles was a treasure. Even a twig would be invaluable to an Immortal Venerate, for if a twig could withstand the baptism of Tao Principles and not break, its material would be far superior to that of Immortal Artifacts. If refined properly, it could be crafted into a Half-step Tao Artifact, or even a real Tao Artifact.

After Han Yi had collected the Heavenly Dao Treasure Tree along with the mountain range it was rooted in into his Divine Aperture World, he continued with Daoling Immortal Sovereign and Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign towards other regions. However, mid-journey, Daoling Immortal Sovereign directly proposed that he should act alone.

“Han, your strength is unmatched among Immortal Venerates. In the vast expanse of the Yuandao World, there should be few who can defeat you.”

“Such a vast Yuandao World should become your hunting ground.”

“Having us by your side serves no significant advantage and is instead a burden.”
