The advancement of Wang Zijia, along with the insane improvement of the Five Ghosts, turned countless mysterious realms into resources, destroying half of the old leader.

As Wang Zijia’s breakthrough was completed, the swirling core suction provided by his sea eye vortex ceased, and the movement gradually stopped.

At the same time, the cultivation method also finished integrating—the Profound Immortal Volume which Ling Jingzi spoke of, naturally completed as well.

However, Ling Jingzi showed no signs of stopping. He paused, then suddenly spoke again, "The path of the saint is..."

As he began to speak, his voice exploded in Wang Zijia’s mind.

The Balanced Scale also began to vibrate wildly, including the two golden weights that Wang Zijia had already perfected, both emitting strong golden light.

In that moment, Wang Zijia’s consciousness seemed completely stunned by the voice, unable to preserve his original mind, fully submerged within it.

"Snap!"

However, before he could continue, the core Mysterious Domain, shrunk to only a few yards in diameter, directly exploded.

"Snap snap!"

As the sound spread, like a shockwave, it shattered a large number of weakened mysterious realms in the surrounding core area.

"Snap snap!"

Like bubbles, the remaining fragile mysterious realms, due to a domino effect, continued to burst.

The phantasm of Ling Jingzi, however, did not vanish with the collapse of the core Mysterious Domain but vibrated abruptly instead.

The next moment, he stopped preaching, and a fleeting confusion flashed in his indifferent eyes, which then regained clarity.

In an instant, the polluting power of myriad destructed mysterious realms converged into Ling Jingzi’s body.

Ling Jingzi paused, then raised his hand,

At that moment, in the giant tree space, a special force of decay from the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Roots, the original power that nurtured countless mysterious realms, rapidly gathered in his palm, turning into a dazzling green crystal.

The phantasm of Ling Jingzi held the crystal, then looked up, his gaze settling on Wang Zijia, who seemed to still be sitting in the void in deep meditation, as if still listening to his preaching.

Wang Zijia, who had just achieved a breakthrough and had not yet had time to carefully inspect his own condition, was again captured by Ling Jingzi’s preaching and had fallen into a deep state of tranquility. Following his gaze, Wang Zijia woke up from his deep meditation.

He opened his eyes in confusion.

First confusion flashed in his eyes, then quickly he regained consciousness and clarity. After regaining his senses, Wang Zijia quickly began to observe his surroundings.

He seemed to have arrived at a vast ancient plain, in front of him stood an enormous ancient tree.

In the trunk of the ancient tree, there was a deformed man, whose entire body, except his face, seemed to have turned into numerous tree roots that twisted together, entwined around the trunk, and burrowed into it.

At this moment, the young man’s intact face was sizing him up.

The moment Wang Zijia saw him, he inexplicably understood this to be Ling Jingzi.

This place was the former site of sealing.

Uh?

The site of sealing?

Was Ling Jingzi ultimately sealed?

No, why is it the former site?

Has Ling Jingzi already died?

At this moment, Wang Zijia was somewhat perplexed, not quite understanding what the situation was.

"Junior has seen much but progressed little, greets Senior Ling Jingzi," Wang Zijia did not continue to dwell, suppressing the complex thoughts at the bottom of his heart, and respectfully greeted Ling Jingzi.

It was clear that while he was in deep meditation, Ling Jingzi had become conscious again and had brought him into this space, which he was uncertain was illusory or real.

Although he felt that neither the world nor the big tree seemed to be real, he was certain that the figure on the tree, whose body was full of roots and burrowed into it, must be the true Ling Jingzi.

Ling Jingzi was originally examining Wang Zijia.

As Wang Zijia paid his respects, his expression grew more and more peculiar, his only intact face’s mouth corners continuously rose until they turned into a frenzied laughter.

"Space-time, Fate Devil, Numbers Mysterious, haha... Zhang Bairren, you too have this day, ha ha..."

"Haha... Even if all your cheap sons take action, in the end, I still lived to beat you!"

’Zhang Bairren? What ghost is speaking to me?’

Wang Zijia: "?????"

Wang Zijia looked at Ling Jingzi, who suddenly burst into mad laughter, his mind full of question marks.

In the midst of his laughter, Ling Jingzi’s emotions were extremely complex, there was relief, exhilaration, and the pleasure of taking revenge. Hmm, was there also a bit of guilt?

Wang Zijia didn’t rashly speak out, quietly watching Ling Jingzi’s fit.

After a long while, Ling Jingzi finally calmed down. There was a moment of silence between them, and then Ling Jingzi said quite abruptly, "You and I have considerable karma, kowtow three times to me, and we’ll settle some of it."

Wang Zijia paused. Aside from the fact that the other party was a Daluo holy figure, just the preaching he gave earlier was enough to be worthy of respect.

Regardless of whether the previous preaching was from his altered self or was intentional, the other party indeed preached to him, and the grace was truly significant.

Without much hesitation, Wang Zijia silently knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Then he stood up again and said, "Junior has seen Senior Ling Jingzi."

He still used the title of junior, indicating his position.

Ling Jingzi didn’t seem to care or, perhaps, he had never intended to take Wang Zijia as his disciple.

Ling Jingzi looked at Wang Zijia, fell silent for a moment, and asked, "Is the Dao Court gone by now? Is it the End of Heaven and Earth’s Dharma, or an invasion from another domain?"

A spark of light flashed in Wang Zijia’s eyes; that question contained quite a bit!

"To answer Senior’s question, it is now the Sixth Era. What Senior is referring to should be the wars of the worlds at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the World Collision Ruins at the end of the period, and the End of Heaven and Earth’s Dharma in the Fifth Epoch..."

Wang Zijia briefly described the current situation with extremely concise language, and finally added,

"Junior was heading to the space where Senior is because a Sinful Disaster occurred..."

Ling Jingzi fell silent for a while. Initially, he appeared utterly carefree, but upon hearing about the Sinful Disaster, his mood became less buoyant, and guilt seemed to intensify.

After a long silence, Ling Jingzi suddenly spoke out of the blue, "Would you like to hear a story?"

Wang Zijia was taken aback and responded, "If Senior wishes to tell it, Junior would naturally like to listen."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingzi began to tell his story in a somber voice.

"In ancient times, according to your calendar, it would be the end of the Second Epoch or the beginning of the Third Epoch, another chaotic era..."

Ever since the Taoist School established the Dao Court and began to suppress the Multi-Heavens in the Third Age, information from earlier times has been artificially severed, and the entire God Magnificent had lost its records, with very few remnants even in traditional tales.

And with Ling Jingzi’s narration, Wang Zijia heard a secret history that had completely disappeared from God Magnificent.

About the events before the Third Age!

According to his words, the Second Epoch was also a splendid and chaotic era. At that time, the Taoist School had not yet taken control of the heavens and was merely one of the major schools.

Besides, between heaven and earth, there were a variety of schools.

Immortals, Buddhas, Demons, Monsters, Gods, Ghosts and more blossomed simultaneously. As brilliant talents continually emerged, God Magnificent was thus in constant chaos, fighting every day.

During this period, near the end of the Second Epoch, some powerful beings rose up wishing to end such chaotic times and build a grand unified Cultivation World.

This led to a group of like-minded individuals and sparked the struggle for Dao Consistency at the end of the Second Epoch.

Among them, a prodigy named Zhang Bairren, along with his four brothers and a large following, rose rapidly to prominence.

Eventually, through alliances and conflicts, they ended the strife between many Dao consistencies.

When everything was over at the beginning of the Third Epoch, they gradually swallowed the other factions they had allied with and ensured the supremacy of the Taoist School, establishing the Dao Court and achieving the exalted foundation of the Five Directions Emperors of God Magnificent Dao Court.

However, as the conquest neared completion, four of the Five Directions Emperors began to fight among themselves.

Ling Jingzi did not elaborate, but Wang Zijia could gather that it was the familiar story of infighting after the kingdom was established, the emperor turning against the founding generals, and so on.

Not to mention that it wasn’t a situation with one emperor and multiple kings but rather five emperors, so conflict was inevitable.

And Ling Jingzi must have been part of it, although he was the least noticeable and weakest among the group of five.

From Ling Jingzi’s words, it can be known that Dao Court’s Sage Zhang Bairren not only carried out a Grand Cleansing but also nearly exterminated them without reservation.

The three who had contributed the most, who were already Immortal Emperors by then and rulers of the world alongside him, couldn’t escape being killed by him!

The reason for such an ending was not just about power; or to put it another way, Zhang Bairren didn’t kill these men simply over power, but because of the Dao; they had impeded Zhang Bairren’s path!

Zhang Bairren wanted to unify with the Dao and control the Heavenly Dao of the Vast Thousand Worlds Group in order to seek transcendence beyond Daluo, to achieve the status of a Chaotic Holy Being!

Thus, the demise of the three Immortal Emperors who shared the Heavenly Dao with him can be easily imagined.

However, these three had also attained holiness and were pivotal to the success of the Dao Court, and even all of God Magnificent owed them for their Great Merit and karma.

Yet in the end, they died carrying such merit and karma!

The world owed them a terrifying debt of Merit and karma, and with their extremely formidable cultivation, their demise didn’t erase their Dao or lessen the accumulation of vast Resentments.
