Chapter 375: Pangu’s Daoist Temple

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, nine days had passed.

Western Region, Burial Soil.

Thick black mist was enveloping the dome like dark haze, churning and rolling. Deep within the Western Region, an enormous demon god’s body was laying on its side in the void, absorbing nutrients from the Burial Soil to replenish itself.

After several days of recuperation, Zun’s injuries were gradually healing.

Of course, since his Primordial Dao Fire had been severed, his soul would suffer from a significant flaw for a very long time.

"Daoist friend."

Daoist Qing Xuan returned, his gaze profound.

Over these past few days, they had travelled across all realms. This universe was completely different from the Qing Xuan plane. Perhaps because its birth time was too short, the Dao of Heaven was imperfect, filled with variables everywhere.

"We heard that nine great Spirit Roots have been nurtured in this universe?" an Immortal Emperor inquired.

Zun nodded and said, "Those nine great Spirit Roots were born around the same time as us. They gather the essence between Heaven and Earth. Each Spirit Root incubates an ultimate divine principle."

"Obtaining any one of them would render the Three Yuan Proof effortless."

Zun’s eyes flashed as he smiled and said, "Within Pangu’s Daoist Temple, there is a Spirit Root called Innate Dao Seed, one controlled by Pangu. Daoist friend, if you are interested, you could subdue it then."

"Natural outcome."

Daoist Qing Xuan’s interest surged. Nine was the ultimate number. Yet, precisely nine Spirit Roots of heaven and earth were nurtured. To him, that likely implied a deeper meaning.

"We went to Heaven’s Secret Pavilion once during this trip."

Zun’s pupils contracted.

"Does that master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion truly possess such vast divine abilities as the rumors say?"

"He should be a transcendent," Daoist Qing Xuan replied with a smile.

"However…"

Daoist Qing Xuan hesitated momentarily, not speaking immediately.

"Pray tell, Daoist friend," Zun urged, overcome by curiosity.

The Primordial Daoist Sect had not given birth to merely one transcendent since ancient times. They also possessed some understanding of the mysteries of the transcendent realm, so Zun naturally wished to know more.

"The Dao of Heaven is impartial; even transcendents are treated equally," Daoist Qing Xuan solemnly said. "None of the venerable seniors of my sect who achieved Ascension to the Hongmeng Dao Realm have ever descended to the lower worlds after ascending."

"In my opinion, there must also be restrictions within the Hongmeng Dao Realm."

"This master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion has freed himself from the constraints of the Hongmeng Dao of Heaven, yet he can remain in the lower world. That in itself is profoundly anomalous."

"There are only two possibilities for this matter."

One Immortal Emperor spoke with grim expression, "Either the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is not a transcendent, or…"

He paused, his brows deeply knit, changing his form of address, "Or this senior possesses power so immense that it has transcended the constraints of the Dao of heaven itself, reaching an inconceivable level of cultivation."

"……"

Zun’s heart raced wildly; how did their conjecture become more and more absurd?

If he were truly that powerful, why would he remain hidden in a lower realm?

"No matter what his background is, the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion absolutely must not be touched." Daoist Qing Xuan smiled and said, "Perhaps, one day we might even have to ask him for help."

"That is true." Zun chuckled lightly and said, "The intelligence of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is truly unparalleled in the world."

"Daoist friend, since your injuries are almost healed, let’s talk about serious matters." Daoist Qing Xuan chuckled and said, "Let’s discuss the matter of Pangu’s Daoist Temple."

"Hahaha…" Zun laughed heartily, hatred flashing in his eyes. "In primordial chaos, before the creation of the heavens, we Three Thousand Chaotic Demon Gods lived freely, but Pangu decided to take a different path, intending to create the heavens to transcend."

"This bastard used us as stepping stones. I couldn’t defeat him while he was alive, but after his death, I will dig up his grave!"

Whoosh!

Zun reached out and slashed his stomach with his silver-hook-like nails, cutting open the flesh, and blood gushed out like a spring.

His blood was black, like a mass of chaotic matter, hazy and indistinct.

Rumble!

This mass of divine blood scattered into the void, evolving into divine patterns, with strange phenomena rising. It seemed as if it reopened earth, water, fire, and wind, turning the area of millions of miles around into a chaotic forbidden zone.

Daoist Qing Xuan waited quietly.

The Chaotic Demon Gods originated from the same source. Zun and Pangu were the two earliest demon gods. Their powers and bloodline shared the same origin.

People could never find Pangu’s Daoist Temple because it could not be sensed.

Though Zun and Pangu were bitter enemies, Zun could locate the position of Pangu’s Daoist Temple using his demon god blood.

Daoist Qing Xuan looked expectant.

Pangu created the heavens, evolved the heavenly way, gathered karmic merit of heaven and earth, and absorbed the great power of all living beings into himself. Without any mishaps, he certainly transcended and ascended.

If they could find Pangu’s Daoist Temple, then they would have a hope of transcending.

At least, there would be a path to follow.

"They have made their move!"

The changes in the Western Region’s Burial Soil startled the human ancestor and Lin Qianmo, among others.

The human ancestor’s face was full of worry.

A majestic aura burst forth from the deepest part of space-time in the Yuan Realm.

The void cracked, and the Yuan Realm split into four pieces.

It seemed as if a massive creature was about to burst out of the ground.

The beings in the Yuan Realm were inexplicably terrified.

Bang!

Suddenly, a divine pillar that seemed to prop up the heavens rose from the westernmost part of the Yuan Realm. It was tens of millions of feet tall, shaped like a ram’s horn, adorned all over with profound innate divine patterns. As it continuously rose, it came closer and closer to the scars of the heavens.

"Oh no!"

The human ancestor looked flustered.

"The variable has indeed come!" The human ancestor’s expression became extremely serious.

Boom!

This divine pillar pierced into the Xuantian Great Luo Dao Array with a thunderous roar, only to see countless divine patterns erupt to resist its invasion.

At this very moment.

Three more divine pillars burst forth from the earth in the easternmost, northernmost, and southernmost lands.

It was as if three divine swords stabbing into the Xuantian Great Luo Dao Array.

Ye Xu was startled as well.

He walked to the entrance of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion and gazed at this astounding spectacle.

"The Human Ancestor’s array is about to collapse," Ye Xu lamented.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

But this was not over yet.

To the southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest, and the center of the Yuan Realm, the earth shook violently in five directions, turning into ravines, as five divine pillars broke through the ground and thrust into the array.

These nine divine pillars each bore different innate divine patterns.

Clearly, they were connected to the nine great Spirit Roots.

"In this world, the only place capable of such commotion must be Pangu’s Daoist Temple!" The Human Ancestor’s expression darkened; he should have realized long ago that the respected one’s alliance with alien universe experts was for Pangu’s Daoist Temple.

After all, whether Pangu had transcended remained an unknown.

"These Nine Towering Divine Pillars mirror the nine great Spirit Roots with unstoppable power; my array simply cannot withstand them," the Human Ancestor fretted urgently. "If this continues, the array will shatter, the scars of the heavens will be breached, and the Immortal Realm will suffer an impact."

"Once that happens, I fear the Immortal Realm will start collapsing…"

He had already foreseen the outcome.

The alien universe invasion was indeed the biggest variable in the Great Calamity of the Immortal Realm.

"It must come, and it will."

At that moment, Lin Qianmo and Xuanxin appeared next to the Human Ancestor.

"Now, in this plane, the only one free to resist the alien universe experts is the Heavenly Emperor," Lin Qianmo said. "With Pangu’s Daoist Temple emerging, he won’t just sit idly by."

"Brothers fight within walls but unite against outside threats; you’re not short-sighted, so you should grasp this principle."

"It’s too late."

The Human Ancestor sighed.

Once Pangu’s Daoist Temple emerged and shattered the Xuantian Great Luo Dao Array, shaking the foundations of the Immortal Realm, those insects in the Immortal Realm would inevitably sense it—how could they stay put?

With inside and outside forces collaborating, they would descend with all their might.

At that point, the collapse of the Immortal Realm would become inevitable.

"Xuanxin, send word to the Heavenly Emperor and recall him," Lin Qianmo said.

"Yes."

Xuanxin immediately messaged Li Ruoyu.

On the Qing Xuan plane.

Li Ruoyu sat discussing the Dao with several top-tier experts; his demeanor was extraordinary, as if in his own domain, with every gesture radiating confidence and immense charm that inspired deep admiration.

He had come to the alien universe not to wreak havoc but to absorb knowledge.

Exchanging insights with the top experts of the Qing Xuan plane was clearly the ideal method.

"We’ve debated the Dao for days, Daoist brother; your profound arguments have truly won our hearts with conviction," one praised.

The Immortal Emperors clasped hands and echoed the praise.

"That universe, which nurtured a peerless genius like you, Daoist brother, is truly remarkable."

"Once this affair concludes, I too shall pay a visit, ha-ha-ha…"

Ding!

Suddenly.

Li Ruoyu’s smile stiffened slightly.

"Has Pangu’s Daoist Temple emerged?” Li Ruoyu’s heart jolted.

This was a sacred site more ancient than even the Haotian Realm.

"Dear friends, I have urgent business; let us continue our Dao discussion over wine another day," Li Ruoyu said.

With that farewell, Li Ruoyu vanished on the spot.

"This man truly lives up to being the Supreme Lord Heavenly Emperor; such bearing is unprecedented in my long life," one person reflected emotionally.

"The Primordial Daoist Sect crowd is formidable—they silently opened an alien universe passage without our knowledge."

"Dear friends, not eager to pay them a visit?”

One remarked suggestively.

"Two universes connected, a rare chance in aeons."

"How could we miss such an opportunity?"

"Ha-ha-ha…"
