Chapter 1431: Chapter 617: Mysterious Shadow, The Fallen Dao Lord_2

Black Crow Daoist thought of something, then asked: "Have you recently been to Zhou Mountain Major Realm?"

"Hmm."

"Zhou Mountain Major Realm is adjacent to the Abandoned Land. Be careful not to get pulled into the Abandoned Land," Black Crow Daoist cautioned.

Baixiaosheng smiled and remained silent.

Black Crow Daoist continued: "Putting aside the matter of this mysterious powerhouse for now... The Nine Heavens Divine Palace is growing increasingly powerful. They have relied on Luofeng Valley to continuously influence the Yin Realm, and have constructed the Mount of Gods."

At the mention of this, Black Crow Daoist was filled with concern.

They didn’t know the purpose behind Nine Heavens Divine Palace’s actions.

But it was definitely not good.

The beings of the Cosmic Alliance mostly originated from the Yin Realm.

They arrived in the Rebirth Realm through the True Spirit Rebirth Method.

However, many powerful beings are captured by the Nine Heavens Divine Palace as soon as they are reborn, used as tools to withstand calamities and tribulations.

If the influence of Nine Heavens Divine Palace in the Yin Realm grows any further, it’s hard to imagine what could happen.

"Luofeng Valley is already in the hands of Nine Heavens Divine Palace; we must ensure they do not find the other nodes," said Black Crow Daoist gravely.

After all, the strong beings of the Yin Realm, upon reincarnating near Luofeng Valley, would be reared by the Nine Heavens Divine Palace like livestock resources, with True Spirits shrouded in ignorance.

If they are reborn at other nodes and not discovered by Nine Heavens Divine Palace, they might continue to grow, and eventually, like them, regain memories of the past and return to the Taoist Realm.

The more nodes Nine Heavens Divine Palace controls, the more beings from the Yang Realm that survive the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

Naturally, the Cosmic Alliance would be relatively weakened.

"They will find them eventually," Baixiaosheng sighed with an air of helplessness.

Although he was a high and mighty Tao God, his actual combat prowess was quite ordinary.

What he was best at was preserving his own life, bullying lower-level Cultivators.

"Therefore, these nodes must be erased; let alone breeding, not another Mount of Gods can appear in the Yin Realm!" Black Crow Daoist said in a deep voice.

"How do we erase them?" asked Baixiaosheng.

Black Crow Daoist frowned.

This was indeed a problem.

Even for them as Dao Lords, it’s extremely difficult to completely erase those nodes.

Even if the void is destroyed, the nodes will still exist.

"If there were a Devouring Dao Lord, or rather, if someone held the Devouring Dao, and the Exotic Treasure created from the Fourth Level of Sun God... it might be possible to flatten the nodes," stated Black Crow Daoist.

Baixiaosheng shrugged his shoulders.

Dao Lords are much rarer than Tao Gods.

Not to mention, this is the Rebirth Realm, not the home ground for Dao Lords.

At this moment, Black Crow Daoist cast a glance at Baixiaosheng.

The space around them solidified, and all informational particles also became frozen.

"An old friend once speculated using fate that in the Yin Realm there was once a Sun Four powerhouse of the Devouring Dao... But before she could transform into an Exotic Treasure, she mysteriously fell into oblivion," said Black Crow Daoist.

"What?" Baixiaosheng was somewhat surprised.

A Sun Four powerhouse... with his current Tao God level, he would be finished upon meeting one.

Unless after swallowing Tai Ya and overcoming the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, he could face a Sun Four with more confidence.

"So, we cannot count on that Exotic Treasure, but... that old friend also divined that... in an infinite Era before... there was also a Dao Lord in the Rebirth Realm who attained Dao through Devouring," continued Black Crow Daoist.

"Certifying as a Dao Lord in the Rebirth Realm, tsk tsk, with such Talent... quite terrifying, and he even attained Dao through Devouring. Who is he? Did he overcome the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations and go to the Yang Realm?" asked Baixiaosheng.

This terrifyingly talented powerhouse was someone he hadn’t even heard of.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

The Yuan Tian Daoist of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace once approached him seeking Mingri Xue, mentioning something to do with a fallen Dao Lord.

Could it be...

A terrifying guess dawned upon him.

"No, that Dao Lord, he’s suspected to have fallen," he said.

"Fallen? Dao Lords of the Taoist Realm could also fall?" Baixiaosheng felt an ominous premonition growing stronger.

A Dao Lord of the Taoist Realm, virtually omniscient and omnipotent within their own doctrine, could also fall?

"So, we need to find the Dao Fruit left by that fallen Dao Lord... Then, with the full power of the Cosmic Alliance, refine the Dao Fruit into a Devouring Exotic Treasure that can flatten the nodes," he stated.

The Cosmic Alliance sought Baixiaosheng just for these two matters.

One was to see if Baixiaosheng could investigate the identity of that mysterious powerhouse, and the other was to find the Dao Fruit of that fallen Dao Lord.

"How difficult it is to find this Dao Fruit; are there other methods to erase the nodes?" asked Baixiaosheng.

"The world is vast and full of wonders; there might be other methods, yet unknown. If Dao Friend happens to find one, don’t hesitate to inform this old man," Black Crow Daoist, although looking young, spoke with the wisdom of the aged.

It was clear what he implied; right now, refining the fallen Dao Lord’s Dao Fruit into a Devouring Exotic Treasure was the only way to erase the nodes.

Baixiaosheng showed a look of disappointment: "Life is difficult indeed!"

It was unclear whether he was lamenting the scarcity of methods or something else.

...

"Master, are we going to your hometown? Hehe, is your ugly daughter-in-law finally going to meet her mother-in-law?"

Wu Shi teased with a mischievous smile, brimming with liveliness.

Her fine, curved eyebrows and eyes blossomed with a smile that looked very spirited.

Anyone unaware would think Wu Shi was deeply attached to him.

But Baixiaosheng knew that Wu Shi’s peach blossom eyes showed affection even to a dog.

"Go, go, go, I was born naturally, with no parents."

Baixiaosheng was somewhat annoyed, but even more so, he was worried.

On the way back, he had already connected all the events.

He had come to a very frightening conjecture.

His disciple was the person that the Nine Heavens Divine Palace was looking for.

And there was a deep connection with the vanished "Wu Shi" from the Cosmic Alliance.

Furthermore, it might also be deeply related to the fallen Devouring Dao Lord.

This worried him greatly, how could he, with neither outstanding merit nor ability, have picked up such a disciple with a heaven-defying origin?

Should he... hand her over?

After conceiving this notion, Baixiaosheng immediately extinguished it.
