Chapter 1984: Chapter 876: Huang Gains Fame, Finally Obtains Wan Ming_2

It seems that the Daoist Immortal Great Venerable has not realized that Hongjun has escaped the predicament and is due to return soon.

And the matter he has been plotting has yet to yield any results.

Mount Kunlun remains sealed and has not been unsealed, indicating that this Daoist Immortal Great Venerable has not given up on his plans.

The lack of change for such a long period has unsettled Han Yi.

Putting himself in that situation, if it were him, he could absolutely not remain so calm.

"That Daoist Immortal Great Venerable may still have a backup plan."

Han Yi temporarily suppressed this thought because, at least for now, as long as the Ancient Netherworld did not undergo any changes, he still had room to grow and become stronger.

After his seclusion, as he anticipated, the news that the master of the Great Wilderness Dao Palace was a High-level Chaos God Venerable was deliberately spread, not only throughout the various realms of the Fu Heng Daoist Area, but also to the neighboring Heavenly Destiny Dao Domain and Ancestral God Domain.

In the first millennium, two Venerable Sages, each with their respective affiliated forces, came to pledge allegiance.

And in the second millennium, the number doubled. There were three Venerable Sages and two Divine Venerables who pledged allegiance, one of whom was a Middle-level Divine Sovereign.

Even amongst the major Daoist Domain Level forces, a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate is a high-ranking figure.

Two thousand seven hundred years later.

Han Yi, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes sharply and looked outside the Tao Palace towards a certain direction within the Chaos. In that direction, a figure shrouded in a black robe stood silently amidst the Chaos, blending into it, so that even a high-level Venerable Sage would find it nearly impossible to detect.

Han Yi was able to sense it from such a distance because this figure possessed a Supreme Treasure that was connected to him.

Wan Ming Tome.

This figure cloaked in a black robe was the Lord of the Ancient Netherworld from the Ancient Great World, Ming.

Han Yi knew that Ming was waiting for him.

More than thirteen thousand years ago, from the many Wan Ming Incarnations, he learned that the Daoist Immortal Great Venerable had made a move against the Absolute Yin Three Realms of Ancient times, driving away Xiong and Ming, and secretly taking An as a subordinate.

As of today, with Ming seeking him out, Han Yi guessed that it must be related to his own cultivation advancement to the High-stage Divine Sovereign.

Han Yi quietly left the cultivation palace, without letting the other Heavenly Venerate Divine Sovereigns in the Tao Palace notice, silently stepping into the Chaos.

Moments later, he arrived in front of Ming.

Ming stood in the middle of the Chaos, watching Han Yi approach with a solemn face, but the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

He never imagined that the small Taiyi Practitioner who had not yet attained the Tao so many years ago could stand at the same level as him in just over sixty thousand years.

This kind of promotion, to call it defying the heavens, would be an understatement.

He had only given Han Yi an Origin Crystal back then out of curiosity about the Wan Ming Tome acknowledging a master, never expecting that this curiosity would turn into shock today.

"I’ve seen Ming Daoist."

This black-robed cultivator before him is the lord of the Ancient Netherworld, who in the Ancient Great World was referred to by cultivators of the Tao Realm and Heavenly Reverence Level as the Nether Master.

But if the cultivator is of the same Realm, they can address each other as Daoist.

At this moment, the aura of a High-stage Divine Sovereign, although concealed on Han Yi, is not suppressed. In face-to-face encounters, it could be clearly felt, and addressing each other as Daoists is most appropriate.

The Nether Master bowed slightly, his tone grave:

"Today I come to formally pass on the Wan Ming Tome to the future Lord of Wanming."

Following that, he flipped his hand, and an ancient, profound black book hovered above his palm.

The moment this ancient book appeared, the billions of miles of Chaotic space around it seemed to freeze instantly, with the Chaotic Power suppressed to the point of being unable to move an inch.

Han Yi’s gaze fell on the ancient book, his face shaking with emotion.

He naturally knew what the ancient book before him was; it was because of this book that he knew the Nether Master had come nearby and why he was invited here.

At that moment.

Inside his body, the Wanming Space that had been opened more than sixty thousand years ago trembled slightly, and the book inside, which had almost transitioned from an ethereal state to a tangible one, vibrated incessantly.

That book was the projection of the Wan Ming Tome formed during Han Yi’s cultivation of the Wan Ming Tome legacy.

It was through this legacy projection that he was able to contract with the Wan Ming Incarnations.

Although the Wan Ming Incarnations, up to this day, are no longer his main cultivation aid, they indisputably played a significant role and were very effective, especially when he was a Taiyi Heavenly Venerate and first entered the Tao Realm.

"Wan Ming Tome," Han Yi muttered to himself.

He stretched out his hand, gave a soft tug, and saw the Wan Ming Tome gently float up and land in his palm.

And then.

In his palm, the Wan Ming Tome let down countless thick streams of Qi of Wanming, which crushed the surrounding Chaotic Power into nothingness.

Han Yi gazed at the Wan Ming Tome in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.

He did not ask the Nether Master about the Cause and Effect of the Wan Ming Tome, specifically, whether receiving the true Wan Ming Tome necessitated inheriting the legacy of Wanming City.

If it did need to be inherited, it meant that he would have to contend with the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect.

The reason he didn’t ask was that he was confident that with his current strength, no one could force him to do anything.

And once he ascended further, becoming a Half-Step Transcendence Realm Venerable, even if the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect discovered he possessed the Wan Ming Tome, he would be able to negotiate on equal footing, and whether to fight or make peace, he would have a say in the matter.

Of course, he had no plans to use the Wan Ming Tome to recklessly expand the Wan Ming Incarnation, converting numerous Heavenly Sovereigns and hence establishing an unbreakable grand power.

His use of the Wan Ming Tome was more focused on enhancing his own strength.

According to what he understood, even to a Half-Step Transcendence Realm Venerable, the level of this Wan Ming Tome should be extremely high.

The destruction of Wanming City back then originated from this Supreme Treasure.

If used properly, it could become the most powerful trump card.

Han Yi did not immediately put away the Wan Ming Tome but turned his eager gaze towards the Nether Master, saying:

"Ming, it seems you cannot return to the Ancient Netherworld now. Do you have a destination in mind? If you have no plans for the time being, you may come to the Great Wilderness Dao Palace. The Dao Palace, though newly established, will surely have a promising future."

Hearing Han Yi’s invitation, the Nether Master shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for your invitation, Daoist."

"However, I have numerous Cause and Effect matters to settle and tasks to complete. If someday these are resolved and I am still alive, then it might be possible to come here and serve the future Lord of Wanming."

"I take my leave."

The Nether Master bowed slightly and then turned to leave.

Han Yi did not stop him.

He had known for quite some time that this keeper of the Wan Ming Tome, the Nether Master, was not an incarnation of the original Lord of Wanming but played a role similar to a guardian of the legacy.

Thus, when the original Lord of Wanming fell, all his incarnations perished simultaneously, yet this Nether Master survived and was able to escape with the Wan Ming Tome from the pursuit of many powerful cultivators.

His strength was undoubtedly not weak.

Now that the Wan Ming Tome had been given to Han Yi, the Nether Master’s heavy responsibility had come to an end.

Next, he could choose to follow the new Lord of Wanming or go on his own—it was his freedom to choose.

Han Yi retracted his perception, and with a movement of his Tao Thought, it settled on the Wan Ming Tome. Instantly, the tome transformed into a jet of black light and entered Han Yi’s brow.

Within his body, in the Wanming Space.

The Wan Ming Tome appeared, and the previous projection of the Wan Ming Tome within this space merged into the real Wan Ming Tome after a slight tremor.

Immediately.

Boom!!

The entire Wanming Space shuddered violently; it began expanding crazily as if the space could not contain the true Wan Ming Tome and needed to enlarge to accommodate it.

Han Yi also added his own Creation Power to the Wanming Space, allowing the space to expand frenziedly.

After a moment, the Wanming Space, which had expanded a hundredfold, finally came to a stop.

At this point, the Wan Ming Tome truly belonged to Han Yi.

In future battles, the Power of Ten Thousand Netherworld he could summon would be infinitely larger than before, and its might was incomparable to the past.

Han Yi was delighted, and continued his cultivation in silence within the Huang Dao Palace. He still had many Life Seeds, and he planned to consume all of them, raising his strength to the extreme before emerging from seclusion.

However.

Three thousand years later, while deep in cultivation, Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards an obscure direction within the Chaos—it was the direction of an extremely distant, huge world, which was none other than the Ancient Great World.

His gaze was drawn to this land because he perceived a certain change taking place in the Ancient Great World.
