Chapter 1609: Chapter 979: _2

But King of Reincarnation, due to his past experiences, has great admiration for predecessors like Footprint Emperor.

Moreover, he respects the Emperor’s willingness to step forward and suppress the black scourge as a pioneer.

Footprint Emperor is not overly concerned about these titles, privately, everyone talks about their own things, without caring about predecessors or successors, as long as we can work together to protect this sacred place.

He immediately explained the situation with some gravitas in his voice: "The Emperor is missing, Mr. Liu has come to inquire, and I am quite worried. After all, the enemy strong enough to make the Emperor bleed is beyond what we can comprehend."

Upon hearing this, King of Reincarnation was initially astonished, then knitted his brows tightly, a powerful aura surged from within him, instantly enveloping the entire cave mansion.

Following that, King of Reincarnation used his authority to envelop The Underworld, attempting to trace the Emperor’s whereabouts.

As the Northern Ghost Emperor, his authority cannot cover the entire Underworld, but it is sufficient to enshroud most of the major regions.

Moments later, the expression on King of Reincarnation’s face became more solemn, eventually revealing a bitter smile.

"Though I enshroud The Underworld with my authority, I still cannot perceive the whereabouts of the Adult." King of Reincarnation said helplessly, "The Adult’s power is unfathomable, although our authority is great, it is ultimately bestowed by the Adult, how can we uncover the Adult’s trail?"

Footprint Emperor’s heart also sank slightly upon hearing this.

The power and realm of the Emperor have long surpassed their imagination.

Yet even so, they cannot simply sit idly by; they must understand the Emperor’s specific whereabouts.

Indeed it is so.

Even I have been too settled in The Underworld, unaware of such significant matters happening with the Emperor.

It’s understandable for people like Footprint Emperor, as when Jiang Hui decided to deceive everyone, he simultaneously deceived everyone’s perception.

"This matter still requires careful planning." King of Reincarnation mused, "Predecessor should continue monitoring The Underworld with authority as a precaution. I will visit other halls of Yama to see if they have any clues."

Footprint Emperor nodded in agreement, united together, only then can we jointly face possible impending crises.

King of Reincarnation then left the cave mansion, heading towards the direction where other halls of Yama are located.

...

The Underworld, deep within the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest.

Time quietly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred and twenty-six years have elapsed.

The bamboo forest is quiet, eternal and unchanging.

And in Jiang Hui’s Sea of Consciousness, beside the sprout of Rule.

The altar whirls round and round.

Quite peaceful.

Compared to the beginning, the changes within the altar are undeniably significant.

The ancient and solemn altar stands majestically, like a meticulously crafted treasure of the heavens and earth, unmoved despite the flow of time.

With this altar as the center, countless Divine Order Chains extend slowly from the void, weaving into intricate and detailed totems, ultimately coalescing into four Heavenly Stairs leading to the clouds, guarding the four extremes of the altar.

Emitting a sacred aura that inspires worship.

As if they are Heavenly Stairs, leading the devout toward the unknown Nirvana.

Gazing at the sky, above the altar, rounds of great suns resembling the eyes of deities are suspended in the boundless sky of the Sea of Consciousness, emitting fiery Golden Radiance, transforming into crystal-clear droplets, falling into the altar.

Upon closer inspection, it can be felt that within those rounds of great suns, there is a deep and distant chanting emanating.

Sometimes low and deep as thunder, trembling every inch of space;

Sometimes as high and spirited as a hymn sung together rhythmically by billions of living beings.

The momentum reaches its zenith.

And on one side of the altar, a winding river quietly flows by, like a silver ribbon embedded in the earth, surging incessantly, carrying an indescribable vastness.

The water surges, like millions of galloping steeds racing wildly across the prairie, yet within them resides an elusive tranquility.

Gazing at the altar.

Jiang Hui’s heart inevitably stirred.

Though fragmented, after spending so much time, the conclusion of the Wave World was finally completely reversed.

Henceforth, as he had hoped, he finally amassed enough experience points to level up to the Sacrificial Path State.

In the unseen, it felt as though something was sensed.

Jiang Hui raised his head.

An invisible clear spring descended.

On that day, the primordial energy within the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest suddenly became exceptionally violent, as if the very space was trembling, countless bamboos swayed gracefully in the fierce winds, emitting series of deep rumblings.

Simultaneously, within the center of the sea of consciousness, atop the altar, the scenery within the Wave World was even more astonishing, rules and order at this moment seemed to be rewritten by an invisible force, unleashing brilliant radiance.

Jiang Hui sat cross-legged at the center of the altar, surrounded by endless resplendence, his aura at this moment became incomparably profound, as if resonating with the heavens and earth.

With the continuous surging of the power within his body, an unprecedented wave erupted from within, soaring straight into the clouds, enveloping the entire Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest.

The breakthrough to the Sacrificial Path State is the ultimate sublimation of burning rules and order and sacrificing the supreme Great Taoist.

At this moment, Jiang Hui seemed to abandon everything, including his Dao Fruit, rules, and even life itself, his soul merged with the heavens and earth, feeling unprecedented freedom and power.

In this moment, even the Great Taoist seemed to sing for him, numerous Dao Golden Lotuses blossomed in the air, emitting glorious splendor, making the entire Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest appear dreamlike and fantastical.

This wave was so strong, even the Underworld couldn’t entirely contain it.

The King of Reincarnation and Footprint Emperor simultaneously felt this earth-shattering aura, their faces displaying expressions of disbelief.

Footprint Emperor, murmuring to himself, said: "This... this aura? Surpasses the Emperor..."

In the next moment, he displayed a hint of joy.

Could it be, the Emperor?

Jiang Hui’s breakthrough not only shook the heavens within the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest but caused the entire Universe to feel this power from the pinnacle.

At this moment, whether in the Immortal Path Field or the mundane world, all beings seemed astonished by the power, looking up to the sky, eyes filled with shock.

Moreover,

even on the distant highland, the ten great mysterious ancestors felt the wave of the Sacrificial Path State, each appearing as if faced with a great enemy, their complexion drastically changing.

The ten great mysterious ancestors, entrenched upon that distant and mysterious highland, have been the oldest and mightiest existence in this Universe since ancient times, wielding infinite mysterious power, instilling fear in countless beings. Yet at this moment, as the wave of Jiang Hui’s breakthrough in Sacrificial Path State surged like a tide, even these ancient and powerful ancestors couldn’t help but display unprecedented shock.

Upon the highland, a storm brewed, dark clouds gathered, as if even the heavens and earth were trembling before the emergence of this power. The silhouettes of the ten great mysterious ancestors flickered in the storm, their eyes shining with disbelief, as if witnessing an impossible miracle.

"This... is this the aura of the Sacrificial Path State?" A voice of an ancestor echoed within the storm, filled with incredulity and fear. The voice was akin to an ancient spell, carrying endless majesty and power, yet at this moment, unable to conceal the inner shock.

Another ancestor had a solemn expression, its eyes seemed to pierce through the void, gazing directly at the source of the wave. "Indeed, it is certainly the Sacrificial Path State. Moreover, the purity and power of this force is something even we cannot achieve."

The ten great mysterious ancestors exchanged glances, within their eyes flickered complex expressions. They knew well, the existence of the Sacrificial Path State posed a considerable threat to them. Once a new strong figure of the Sacrificial Path State emerged, their long-standing dominance could be shaken.

"We must uncover the source of this power, we cannot allow it to become our threat!" An ancestor’s voice was icy and steadfast, like frozen ice enveloping the entire highland.

Thus, the ten great mysterious ancestors each cast their mysterious means, beginning to probe the origin of the wave. Their power like an invisible giant net, instantly covering the whole Universe, attempting to capture even the slightest clue.

However, what shocked them was that no matter how they probed, they couldn’t find the true origin of that force. It seemed like an invisible force was secretly protecting the newly risen strong figure of the Sacrificial Path State, preventing them from perceiving its real essence.

"How is this possible? With our power, even the most hidden corners of the Universe cannot escape our investigation!"
