Chapter 1982: Chapter 875: Shocking Scheme, Promotion to High-level_2

"Furthermore, Saintly Fierce Venerable of the Taichu Divine Race also came here once, but after failing to uncover anything, he returned to the Ancestral God Star, and since then no high-stage Divine Sovereigns have arrived."

"It thus appears that the matter has long since concluded."

The incident referred to by Yuan Ding Venerable occurred a thousand years ago in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain.

Originally, it was not just the two of them dealing with the Tomb Beasts of the Burial Disaster Dao Domain; there were also seven other Heavenly Venerates, these Venerates, bound by soul contracts using the Heavenly Venerate Skills of Yutian Dao Palace, were known as Soul Slaves, and within Yutian Dao Palace, they were called slaves.

A thousand years ago, a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate Level slave was collecting a formed Grave Sealing Talisman near Yellow Wind Valley when he was discovered by Dongfang He, who happened to be in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain then.

Dongfang He was shocked by everything he witnessed, while the slave, to preserve the secret, prevented him from leaving. In the ensuing battle, the slave self-destructed, severely injuring Dongfang He.

The blood-stained Ancient Artifact Fragment Han Yi obtained in the Shattered Domain is the very one left by the self-destructed slave who fought Dongfang He.

Afterward, other slaves who arrived soon after killed Dongfang He.

When Jade Venerable arrived later, he executed a Peak Level Heavenly Venerate Skill named ’Hidden Control All Heavens’, which could conceal cause and effect that defied the heavens, completely erasing the fact of Dongfang He’s demise.

Subsequently, to ensure no clues were leaked, Jade Venerable even killed all the Soul Slaves.

This was the incident from a thousand years ago mentioned by Yuan Ding Venerable.

Nowadays, even Jade Venerable had to personally collect the formed Grave Sealing Talismans, which, although more troublesome, was safer. As long as they didn’t encounter a Realm Venerable, they could handle it.

Seeing Jade Venerable put it this way, Jixuan Venerable did not inquire further. Recognizing Jade Venerable’s formidable strength and his assurance that there was no problem, there should indeed be no oversights.

If Han Yi were to hear this conversation, he could put together the cause and effect and know the true events of a thousand years ago.

But at this moment, Han Yi was in closed-door cultivation.

However.

After a hundred years, Han Yi closed his Sword Domain, shouldered the Green Reed Sword, and once again set out, leaving the Guanghan Dao Domain, crossing over the Ancient Netherworld and Yutian, to return to the Fuheng Taoist Area.

He waited a hundred years before departing to avoid potential interception.

Upon reaching Fu Heng and returning to the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Whether he had been overly cautious or his ’pause’ had its effect, he finally returned safely.

Within the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, he greeted Qin Yi and Yuhai Venerate and then extracted a Divine Array, spending ten years to envelop the entire Great Wilderness Dao Palace with it.

This Divine Array, obtained from the Taichu Outer Hall by his status as a Mid-stage Elder, did not require complicated materials for assembly; a single powerful artifact was enough, with the might of the Divine Array also strengthening with the power of the artifact at the Array Eye.

Of course, a stronger Divine Array also demanded higher requirements of the Cultivator managing it.

The Array Eye Han Yi chose was the Bronze Ancient Artifact he obtained in the Returning Ruins; an artifact of mysterious origin and undeniably powerful, especially given its Thunder Attribute, its might far surpassing ordinary high-level Ancient Artifacts.

Han Yi inscribed countless complex Divine Patterns on the Bronze Ancient Artifact, then placed it inside the Tao Palace Sacred Mountain. Upon activation, Divine Light enveloped the mountain, and Chaotic Thunder resounded outside.

Although it faded in a flash, its Might made both Qin Yi and Yuhai’s hearts tremble, causing their expressions to change.

After setting up the Divine Array, Han Yi handed over the keys to operate it to both Qin Yi and Yuhai. He trusted Qin Yi, and Yuhai was his Wan Ming Incarnation, also trustworthy.

If confronted by a mature Tomb Beast, activating the Divine Array and drawing out the destructive Chaotic Thunder from the Bronze Ancient Artifact could fend off the Tomb Beast if not destroy it.

Afterward, Han Yi returned to the peak of the Sacred Mountain, settling into his palace to prepare for seclusion until he broke through to High-stage Divine Sovereign.

In his hundred years within the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, his cultivation progress nearly halted, and though he burned Life Seeds for cultivation in the Guanghan Dao Domain, due to the short duration, progress was not swift.

Now, within the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, he continued to cultivate the Divine Canons using Life Seeds, gradually picking up speed, with the Divine Might that permeated the vicinity of the palace growing thicker with time.

Meanwhile, as he secluded himself, the outside world was in turmoil, with the calamity of the Tomb Beasts escalating, and the worlds exterminated in this Great Calamity were as numerous as stars.

Two thousand seven hundred years later.

A mature Tomb Beast attacked the Great Wilderness Dao Palace. At the critical moment, Qin Yi and Yuhai activated the Divine Array. The Phantom of the Bronze Giant Tripod enveloped the Chaos, and thunder roared, directly causing heavy injuries to the mature Tomb Beast.

Fortunately, after that, the Great Wilderness Dao Palace did not encounter attacks from mature Tomb Beasts anymore, and other juvenile and newborn Tomb Beasts were not difficult to deal with under the Divine Array.

As time passed, more and more worlds perished, and the Tao Realms of these shattered worlds wandered through Chaos. The Great Wilderness Dao Palace, with its high-level Divine Array, attracted many Tao Realms, including not a few from the Outer Path Realm and Harmonization Realm.

And in the fifth millennium of Han Yi’s seclusion, there came a Heavenly Venerate who joined the Great Wilderness Dao Palace. This Heavenly Venerate bore the Tao Title Xing Kun. Xing Kun’s World had fallen amidst the Tomb Beasts, and though he managed to slay the Tomb Beasts, he was injured in the fight.

Carrying with him many Tao Realms of Xing Kun’s World, he finally found a place to settle and heal his wounds after joining the Great Wilderness Dao Palace.

In the twelfth millennium of Han Yi’s seclusion.

Atop the Sacred Mountain of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, a grand presence surged into Chaos, spreading far and wide, startling the entire Great Wilderness Dao Palace.

Simultaneously.

A figure emerged from the palace at the top of the Sacred Mountain, stepping into the Chaos. His Divine Body began to expand, growing at an astonishing rate, swelling rapidly.

One hundred million Zhang, one billion Zhang, two billion Zhang, three billion Zhang...

Eventually, this Divine Body stabilized at around fifty-six billion Zhang.

Yuhai Venerate, the most experienced in traversing Chaos, had a shocked expression and murmured:

"Fifty-six billion Zhang Divine Body, even among the high-level Divine Bodies, this is considered senior and powerful."

"But how, how is this possible??"

"The aura of the revered master, I’ve been paying attention all these years, he was clearly just a breakthrough High-stage Divine Sovereign, but his Divine Body is five to six times stronger than the average High-stage Divine Sovereign."

Qin Yi and Xing Kun nearby also showed shocked expressions.

For a Chaos God Venerable, upon first reaching a high-level stage, the Divine Body should be just over ten billion Zhang, absolutely not the astounding fifty-six billion Zhang seen before them.

Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, neither would have believed it.

Among them.

After being shocked, Xing Kun Venerable’s face also showed reverence and excitement.

Reverence was naturally for the Great Wilderness Dao Palace’s master to whom he had pledged allegiance. He himself was at the Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate, but this master of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace was now a High-stage Divine Sovereign. It was only natural to feel reverence.

Excitement came with the thought that under his protection, even if the Tomb Beasts were to rampage, they would have a much greater assurance of safety, definitely more secure than drifting in Chaos with the lineage of Xing Kun.

As for Qin Yi, in addition to reverence, he felt a rather complex mix of emotions inside.

Back in the Yu Heng World when he first saw Han Yi, the latter was just a minor Gold Core cultivator, while Qin Yi was already a Peak Transformation God, close to a Half-immortal Realm.

Fast forward to today, over seventy thousand years later, the other party had broken through to a High-stage Divine Sovereign, while despite receiving gifts from a past life, he still found himself stuck at the Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate.

Compared like this, their strengths were clear.

Of course, Qin Yi held no trace of envy, as he knew what Han Yi had gone through to achieve today’s success. If he had gone through the same, he probably would have been killed countless times.

In the Chaos.

Han Yi stretched out his Divine Body that had broken through to High-stage Divine Sovereign. He was relatively satisfied with his fifty-six billion Zhang Divine Body. Such a powerful body upon breakthrough undoubtedly meant his strength had increased tenfold.

Afterward, he did not stop there but shrank his Divine Body and returned to the Sacred Mountain. Intending to strike while the iron was hot, he resumed his cultivation, aiming to further increase his strength with the help of the Life Seeds.
