Chapter 2082: Chapter 924: Taoist Heart Perfection, Realm War Ends_2

The young man smiled and said, "Indeed, it is me."

"To think that in merely tens of thousands of years, not even a complete Chaos Era, young friend Han Yi has become a Daoist of equal standing with us."

"It is truly a cause for celebration."

The Master of Purple Mountain explained, "Han Yi, Taishi returned to the Tao Spirit and told your story to the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys, who came to take his place. Hence, your story is known to the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys."

"But I did not know you already had a cause and effect connection."

"Come, let’s enter the hall and discuss this further."

Han Yi followed the two half-step Venerables and entered the residence’s Great Hall.

Inside the hall, he first inquired about the current situation in the Taoist Spirit Chaos World from the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys.

"After the retreat of the Tao Tomb, the Tao Spirit quickly regained its calm. In the Chaos, Great Worlds have begun to emerge, though the birth of more Heavenly Sovereigns will require a long time."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi felt a sense of relief.

The entire Taoist Spirit Chaos World had returned to normal, and not long ago, he had slain the Taoist Immortal and collected the Source Wisdom’s corpse, so there should be no further crisis in the Extreme Ancient Great World, at least no threat of destruction.

Moreover, the Great Wilderness Dao Palace has over a dozen Heavenly Sovereigns, and within the Fuheng Taoist Area, it is considered one of the stronger forces, presumably free from harm.

As for the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys mentioning the emergence of Great Worlds in the Chaos, Han Yi knew that this was a normal change in the Chaos Realm—the birth, prosperity, decline, and destruction of Great Worlds follows a natural order.

Han Yi had previously projected the Heavenly Venerate World from the No Origin Space to observe and learn the changes of Great Worlds.

However, he later found out that although the two changes seemed similar, they were fundamentally different—one involved the cycle of Chaotic Power, while the other represented the transformation from inexistence to existence.

"By the way, Han Yi, do you know where Taichu has gone?" the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys asked.

Han Yi shook his head, "I do not know."

"After leaving, I went to Cangyun South City and met the Master of Origin. Later, I began traveling in the South City, and after departing, wandered around the nearby realm, only recently returning to Suyun Mountain to join everyone in returning to the Tao Spirit."

Han Yi deliberately concealed the truth, as Taichu and others had instructed him to keep the matter of competing for the South City Lord’s position a secret due to its significance, ensuring that no vital information was disclosed.

Although he had a favorable impression of the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys, with shared kind-hearted cause and effect, he still exercised caution given the Eternal Realm Venerate’s plans.

As for his words, even half-step Venerables could not discern the truth. There was no fear of being found out.

"Taichu is being mysterious; who knows what’s he up to, oh well." The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys shook his head.

Han Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up as he remembered something and asked, "I have a question. I remember that ten thousand years ago, the Burial Calamity Realm Venerate broke free. Is there any news of him to date?"

The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys shook his head, "How could it be? News of the Eternal Realm Venerate wouldn’t reach us unless there were actions that summoned us for notice."

"And what about Lord Guanghan? It was him who broke the seal on the Burial Calamity Realm Venerate, allowing this Eternal Realm Venerate to escape," Han Yi asked again.

The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys glanced at Han Yi in surprise, "I didn’t expect you to know so much; those on the Ancestral God Star truly care about you."

He was unaware of the potential connection between the Master of Burial Calamity’s escape and Han Yi.

"No, after that incident, both the Burial Calamity Realm Venerate and Guanghan vanished without a trace."

"In the vast No Origin, numerous Holy Origin Lands and Chaos Realms exist. If they find a Chaos Realm with no Eternal Presence, blend in, no one can find them."

Han Yi nodded thoughtfully.

In the No Origin Space, a Chaos Realm with an eternal existence—a true Transcendent One—can sense powerful foreign auras through the Eternal Pillar, should a Realm Venerate intrude, they will surely be discovered.

However, if a Chaos Realm lacks an Eternal Transcendent, only has half-step Transcendence, such half-steppers cannot detect a Venerate’s entry.

Of course, destroying a Chaos Realm is not easy for an Eternal Realm Venerate either. If an Eternal Realm Venerate discovers one without an eternal existence, they mostly turn it into their domain, cultivating cultivators and obtaining cultivation resources.

The three chatted a bit more before Han Yi bade farewell and left.

In the Great Hall, the Master of Purple Mountain mused, "I do not know what great fortune Han Yi has received, but his strength has become so formidable. Five thousand years ago, he was already comparable to the Illusion World Venerate, and now, his power surely has advanced another stage. Even if you act, there’s no guarantee you’ll win."

The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys sighed, "What can be done? People are different."

"Han Yi’s combat power is reverse-order terrifying, even more daunting than the Ancestral God and Tao God of the past. If he achieves the Realm Venerate status, he might aspire to eternal dominance."

The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys’s realm is the Illusion World Venerate, lower than Purple Mountain, Origin, Taichu, Guxuan, and Taishi.

Master Purple Mountain agreed, "That seems possible. Maybe Han Yi will be the third to reach Eternal Realm in the Tao Spirit."

On the other side.

Exiting the Great Hall, Han Yi returned to the residence of the Taichu Divine Race on the Ancestral God Star. Upon arrival, many gods from the Taichu Divine Race came to pay respects. Over approximately five thousand years, only one high-stage Divine Sovereign had fallen, while the others remained.

After inquiries, Han Yi learned that after the events at Suyun Mountain, where he made a surprise turn to eliminate most Yin Demons, only a few appeared thereafter, even if any.

Consequently, most Heavenly Sovereigns and Divine Sovereigns who participated in the Realm War survived.

It’s important to note that in the last Realm War, nearly half of the venerable cultivators perished, but due to Han Yi’s sudden emergence, the mortality rate dropped to around ten percent.

In Han Yi’s Cultivation Palace, although Dongfang Xiao recognized Han Yi as a Heavenly Sovereign, a feeling akin to facing the Master of Taichu lingered, prompting curiosity about Han Yi’s power.

Han Yi did not conceal the truth.

"Not long ago, I encountered a formidable foe—a cultivator who had become sovereign through the heavenly Tao of the Great World; practically unrivaled among Heavenly Sovereigns. Moreover, he could control a fallen half-step Venerable’s corpse wielding an ancient Venerate Artifact."

"Yet, this powerful adversary could not withstand a single move from me."

"Two thousand years ago, I met a half-step Venerate at an Illusion World level in Cangyun South City. Such is the realm attained after first ascending to half-step Venerate."

"That Illusion World Venerate happened to be a robbing cultivator, but I only took three strikes to deal significant damage, nearly causing demise."

"You might not know of the sword—that was a Venerate Ancient Artifact lent to me by the Lord of Taishi."

"Now I possess four Venerate Ancient Artifacts."

Han Yi stopped there, for it was enough. His intent was not to boast but to inspire confidence in the Divine Sovereigns of the Taichu Divine Race, which was necessary.

Dongfang Xiao and other Divine Sovereigns in the hall listened to Han Yi with faces of shock.

Han Yi’s words were not hard to grasp, but every sentence touched upon concepts infinitely close to, or genuinely within, half-step Venerate.

The gap between them had exponentially widened within a short span of ten thousand years.

A moment later, the Divine Sovereigns respectfully took their leave, departing the hall, leaving Han Yi, who began examining the black treasure tower procured from the Source Wisdom’s corpse.

Speaking of which.

Though possessing four Venerate Ancient Artifacts, none were used in their orthodox manner; he wielded the Slaughtering Spirit Divine Sword with divine force, not boundary power, severely diminishing its effect.

For the Fire Cloud Ancient Sword and Floating Ancient Sword, their sword intention was activated indirectly through Chaos Sword Domain capability.

After some investigation, he gained some insights into the black treasure tower but without boundary power or other means, advancing further was not possible, so he put it away.

Following this.

He continued cultivating within the residence’s palace. Even amidst erupting Cangyun Storms in Suyun Mountain, he did not act on the enticing Cangyun Divine Stone, for ordinary divine stones no longer serendipitous at his current level.

Time flew by, and before one knew it, three thousand seven hundred years had passed.

He emerged from the Cultivation Palace as the ten thousand-year Realm War concluded and it was time to return to the Taoist Spirit Chaos World.
