Chapter 1887 - Chapter 1887 Chapter 828 Reunion with Houtu Third Entry into

Chapter 1887: Chapter 828: Reunion with Houtu, Third Entry into Ten Thousand Travel_2 Chapter 1887: Chapter 828: Reunion with Houtu, Third Entry into Ten Thousand Travel_2 When Houtu first encountered Chaos, she mentioned that when she joined the Destiny Tao Palace, the mysterious and unfathomable Palace Master told her that only after ascending to the status of a Heavenly Venerate could she return to the Tao Palace.

Regarding Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate bringing Houtu back to Fu Heng, Han Yi was even more convinced that Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate was the Protector assigned by the Palace Master of the Destiny Tao Palace to stay by Houtu’s side.

Han Yi did not comment on Houtu’s experiences; her journey is what a normal cultivator of the Chaotic Dao Realm would encounter, cultivating peacefully for thousands or even tens of thousands of years with occasional setbacks, but not life-threatening ones. This is the norm.

As for Han Yi’s own ‘arduous’ experiences, even if placed within the whole of the Taoist Spirit Chaos World, they would be uniquely his own.

For any other cultivator, if they had to go through what Han Yi did, they would have died countless times already.

Suddenly, Han Yi thought of something and said to Houtu, “There has been a change in the Ancient Great World, it’s better that you don’t return unless necessary.”

Houtu’s eyes flickered, and her expression became slightly solemn.

“Could it be that those Chaos forces have stirred up another war?”

Houtu was originally one of the six rulers of the Daluo Immortal Court, which became fragmented due to the Tao Contrarian and the fall of Da Luo Xugu Daozu, turning into the Huangting Immortal Court and the Luotian Immortal Court.

Afterward, as one of the Da Luo’s six rulers, Houtu Immortal Sovereign joined the Huangting Immortal Court.

But in just a few thousand years, the Blazing Flame Tao Court arrived, destroying the Huangting Immortal Court, and Houtu herself was heavily injured. Forced into a corner, she chose to flee into the Chaos.

By chance, she ascended to the Dao Realm and joined the Destiny Tao Palace.

Since then, Houtu had not returned to the Ancient Great World; on one hand, she doesn’t remember having the time, and on the other, her cause and effect with the Ancient World were now weak, whether it be the Daluo Immortal Court, Huangting Immortal Court, or even the Blazing Flame Tao Court; they no longer existed, leaving her with no purpose to return.

However, with Han Yi’s reminder, her first thought was of the Chaos forces that stirred the world.

But Han Yi shook his head, Houtu’s impression of the Ancient World situation was still from 30,000 years ago and was vastly different from the current reality.

“The Chaos forces that descended back then have now integrated into the Ancient Great World and have become a part of it.”

“The biggest issue now is the emergence of a Great Heavenly Sovereign.”

Houtu frowned slightly, “Great Heavenly Sovereign? You just mentioned that Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate disappeared after the battle in Chaotic Ancient. I don’t recall any other Great Heavenly Sovereigns in the Ancient World.”

Han Yi shook his head and then explained to her the existence of the Daoist Immortal Great Venerable and the current peculiar situation of Mount Kunlun.

“That Daoist Immortal Great Venerable, born of the Heavenly Tao, definitely has the ability to monitor the entire Ancient Great World, and he will detect any Heavenly Venerates or Dao Realm beings that enter.”

“If it’s the Dao Realm, it should be fine, but if it’s a Heavenly Venerate, they’re very likely to be captured and taken to Mount Kunlun.”

“And I, who came from the Ancient Gods and achieved the status of Divine Venerable, would likely be slain by him if I appeared in the Ancient Great World.”

“This is also the reason why I haven’t returned to the Ancient World in the near seven thousand years.”

After hearing Han Yi’s words, Houtu’s expression was shocked; the Ancient Great World had already experienced so many changes.

Since the outbreak of the Tao Tomb Ripple, both the Ancient Great World and the Chaos have been undergoing transformations.

The two exchanged views on the experiences over the years, with most of the advice coming from Han Yi, as his vision had completely surpassed that of the Dao Realm due to his experiences.

And his Realm had reached that of a Godly Venerable, with a different perspective that allowed him to think more comprehensively. Just a few suggestions were enough for Houtu to resolve some of her doubts.

Finally, Han Yi asked, “What do you plan to do next?”

Houtu’s gaze was calm as she shared her original plan: “I have ascended to the Tao Fruit, and I need to return to the transcendence Tao Trace to cultivate for another three thousand years. After that, I’ll consider what to do next.”

Han Yi nodded, expecting this to be the case.

With a flip of his hand, he produced a token; this token was forged from some extremely hard Chaos Crystal Stones, shaped like a God Mountain.

On the God Mountain token, the character ‘Huang’ was engraved.

He handed the token to Houtu.

“This is the token of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, and the Great Wilderness Dao Palace is a major force that I have established in Fuheng Eastern Realm over the years. Once you have finished cultivating near the transcendent Tao Trace, take this token and head to the Great Wilderness Dao Palace. Even if my true body is not there, there will be a Tao Spirit body and a Spirit God sitting in place. It is unlikely that any dangers will occur.”

Houtu took the token and put it away, then smiled and said, “Good, I will definitely go.”

“Han, take care!”

She glanced at Han Yi, cupped her fist, and then headed towards Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate in the distance.

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate, watching Houtu return, was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that Han Yi would take Houtu directly to the transcendent Tao Trace, without the need for himself.

But Han Yi did not keep Houtu, and the reasons for it were not his place to interfere.

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate cupped his fist at Han Yi and then took Houtu, heading into the Chaos.

After he set off, a Taoist sound that only he could hear entered his mind.

“Lei Yan, I entrust Houtu to your care.”

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate responded, “Han, rest assured, I will ensure her safety.”

Not far away, watching the figures of Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate and Houtu disappearing into the Chaos, Han Yi felt a sudden small sense of loss.

It was exceedingly difficult to encounter an old acquaintance in the Chaos.

And to have such a good relationship with this old acquaintance made it even more difficult.

Han Yi soon let go of this moment of loss.

Houtu had her own path to follow, and his own journey was still very long.

After that, instead of returning to the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, Han Yi took out the Wanlu Token, activated it, and received coordinates. In his Tao Realm days, it would take years, even decades, to travel to these coordinates, but now that he had become a Godly Venerable, crossing the Dao Domains would only take a mere day.

Thus, traveling at full speed, it only took six hours for him to see a gigantic traveling palace moving in the Chaos.

This was the Ten Thousand Travel Palace he had boarded twice before.

Before encountering Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate, Han Yi had been intending to visit the Ten Thousand Travel Palace; the meeting with Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate and encountering Houtu were just small interludes.

He wanted to come to the Ten Thousand Travel Palace because he lacked an Immortal Ancient Artifact, without which his Heavenly Venerate Domain could not be fully validated, so he prepared to come here to trade for a Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifact.

The Ten Thousand Travel Palace is a very special existence in the Chaos. This great force, like Demon Witch Mountain, also has layouts in the Nine Great Dao Domains. In other words, each of the Nine Great Dao Domains has such a Ten Thousand Travel Palace.

According to rumors, the true master of the Ten Thousand Travel Palace is a cultivator beyond Heavenly Venerate, no doubt a Half-Step Transcendence Realm Venerable.

However, in the Daoist Domain’s Chaos, no one has ever seen such a powerful being; their identity remains profoundly mysterious.

As Han Yi approached the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, his Heavenly Venerate’s aura alarmed the Heavenly Venerate sitting in the palace.

A figure emerged from the palace, standing in the Chaos and looking towards Han Yi with a vigilant and cautious gaze, saying, “Who is the coming Daoist, and is there important business?”

Han Yi responded indifferently:

“I am Huang from the Great Wilderness Dao Palace of the Fuheng Eastern Realm. I am here to conduct a trade within the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, exchanging a Divine Reverence Ancient Artifact in my possession for a suitable Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifact for my use.”

This time, Han Yi only revealed the aura of a Heavenly Venerate; all traces of his Divine Venerable aura were hidden. Unless a high-level Venerable Sage probed, they would hardly discover his other identity as a Godly Venerable.

Hearing Han Yi’s words, the Heavenly Venerate who had emerged from the Ten Thousand Travel Palace inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, extended a vacuous hand, and said:

“Mr. Huang, please come inside the palace to discuss!”
