Chapter 1039: Taixiao Longyuan

At this moment, several bone-chilling voices echoed within the grand Dao Palace, resonating through the skies.

"Ke Ding, the investigation into the Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court ends here. That's all I have to say."

The voice was like a howling cold wind, carrying an unfeeling decisiveness. The words reverberated through the halls of the Dao Palace like thunder, imparting an insurmountable immortal force, each sentence striking the soul like frost in winter.

He wore a deep blue Dao robe, his face pale as snow, with distinct yet gentle features. His slightly raised eyebrows were like blue ice in the cold wind, exuding a stern expression.

His deep eyes seemed to gaze into the passage of time, revealing a detachment beyond the mortal realm, especially with the overwhelming immortal essence radiating in all directions, truly at the realm of an immortal.

Such ethereal and transcendent appearance belonged to the Cangling Illusion Clan, one of the top ten clans in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, ranked ninth, the Second Tribulation Immortal—Chengyuan Immortal.

On the desolate mountain.

Chen Xun leaned against a tricycle, squinting slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. An old acquaintance indeed.

He remembered this person being chased by him for tens of thousands of miles with an axe during a battle at the Milky Way. He had some impression, but wondered if his life-bound Dao artifact had recovered by now.

This clan had also risen alongside the Ancient Saint Clan during the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, sharing the same interests, and was once one of the black hands that betrayed the human race.

Before he could think further, a cold voice suddenly rang out, melodious and mysterious like the sound of nature.

"The remnants of the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace still remain in the Boundless Great World, Fellow Immortal Ke Ding... be cautious in your actions."

He wore a black robe, his face obscured by a dark veil, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

These eyes contained the mysteries of heavenly secrets, seemingly able to perceive everything. His appearance was like a lone star in the night sky, emitting an elusive and mysterious immortal force.

Such a unique aura of immortal force, the human race, the Jiang family...!

Chen Xun watched with great interest, having never heard of this person. In any case, they were all stronger than him, as he was merely a small cultivator in the Qi cultivation phase.

"The Wild Heaven Region is the last hope for the Dao Palace's legacy. If you haven't foreseen this, then you're still a few steps behind the predecessor, the Ancient Immortal Tianjizi..."

Another voice spread out, carrying a hint of mockery, like the blade of an absolute ice-cold sword.

He wore a white robe, his face shrouded in a faint white mist, making his features even harder to discern.

His eyes flickered with indifference to the vicissitudes of the world, as if standing atop a high mountain beyond the clouds, overlooking the mortal world's changes.

Seeing this, Chen Xun shook his head gently, having no impression of this person, not knowing where he had popped out from.

Three immortals, along with forces from all directions, surrounded the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace. If Ke Ding said no, even if they couldn't kill him, the Dao lineage and disciples would surely be lost.

Now, within the Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace, a hundred thousand disciples gathered, vast laws surged, their eyes filled with indignation... their own grand domain, an immortal's domain, had been humiliated to such an extent!

Many powerful indigenous experts from various heavenly domains outside shook their heads slightly, seeing that the Dao Palace was in trouble, with three immortals simultaneously coming forth to force the palace... unheard of, unseen, and it seemed Ke Ding Immortal had no external support.

As for the Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court... they hadn't heard much about it, knowing little, just watching.

Of course, there were many giants here, but still no sign of the ancient beast clan, as they didn't seem to enjoy watching the commotion.

Among the Eight Desolations cultivators, a Great Venerable from the ancient immortal clan descended here, standing atop a massive ancient dragon thousands of feet long, coldly gazing into the distance.

No one dared to approach him, and even the Great Venerables who came from afar frowned and kept their distance, not wanting to get involved with this person's karma.

Standing atop the ancient dragon clan, this status wasn't something an ordinary cultivator of the ancient immortal clan could have, representing noble status and identity, one of king, emperor, or sovereign!

Why did the grand world of cultivating immortality adopt such strange bloodline identities? Naturally, it related to the ancient Taiyi Immortal Court, as that generation of the ancient immortal clan was deeply influenced by the Immortal Court.

King corresponds to Immortal King, Emperor to Immortal Emperor... Sovereign is supreme, seeking to attain the position of Heavenly Emperor, with all beings under their control, stepping onto the seat of the Heavenly Emperor!

Of course, the ancient immortal clan didn't cause much of a stir, just passing down their identity invisibly. To this day, those ancient immortal kingdoms, demon courts, Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, and others are the same.

As for the billions of races in the grand world, they didn't care much about such things, their identities were carefree, as the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path was the orthodox way. Your identities are for your own amusement, much like the carefree Ancestor Chen Xun.

At this moment, the ancient dragon spoke in a low voice, "Taixiao, human race... Jiang family senior."

"Longyuan, don't meddle." Taixiao's voice carried a barely detectable arrogance, not showing much respect for the legendary immortals, "We are just passing by, observing the movements of the emperor clan, not yet qualified to participate in the affairs of immortals."

Before the words were finished, a trace of dominance surged in his eyes, as if the realm of immortals wasn't so distant in his view.

He and Longyuan had fought their way through the Eight Desolations, never relying on family heritage, the immortal resources sent to them still untouched in the immortal gardens of various heavenly domains.

But because of this, they had victories and defeats, living an interesting life, considered legendary prodigies in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, with many of their deeds now being told in various heavenly domains.

However, he looked down on his peers within the Boundless Great World, only engaging in duels with prodigies from various clans, stopping at a point, a great absurdity in the Wild Heaven!

If afraid of death, don't step onto this blood-stained immortal path. The cowardly prodigies of this era aren't worthy of being compared to him.

Though he had been defeated several times, he still held a grudge over the battle at the Tower of Babel, never encountering those two black-clad powerhouses again, a great regret on his immortal path.

Longyuan, seeing Taixiao seemed preoccupied, asked, "Taixiao, should we ask the elders of the clan to investigate that matter, after all..."

"No need." Taixiao frowned, "In this vast grand world, not everything goes as planned. Why ask those old fellows lying in coffins to do anything? If I want to find someone, I should rely on my own abilities."

"Alright." Longyuan swallowed secretly, Taixiao was now too strong-willed, unyielding, seemingly looking down on even immortals.

They had returned from the battlefield beyond the boundary because Taixiao had nearly slain the Ancient Star Sea in a battle among the stars beyond the boundary... he hadn't even made a move.

This major event shocked all sides, as the Ancient Star Sea was once ranked first on the list of prodigies in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!

An absolute immortal figure, a key cultivation target of the Ancient Saint Clan, once a being that chased and beat Taixiao, yet kept coming back again and again.

Taixiao spared him this time, leaving only a simple message: You are no longer worthy to be my opponent, your past glory in the Ancient Star Sea is ultimately just a fleeting episode on my immortal path.
