Chapter 599: Chapter 372: An Innate Divine Being, the Only One Since Ancient Times

In the dark Void, a galactic river flowed ceaselessly. Suddenly, its waters churned, and a figure emerged, treading upon the waves.

"This is going even more smoothly than I expected."

Gazing at Yi Beidou, a gratified smile appeared on Hong Datong’s face.

The child from all those years ago had now grown into a titan capable of supporting the heavens and the earth.

He had made the right choice.

"Let’s move on to the next target. I will eliminate all obstacles as quickly as possible."

Yi Beidou said this calmly, but his words held a domineering power that could sweep through all creation.

The peerless geniuses born of humanity over tens of thousands of years seemed as insignificant as dust to him.

"Of the remaining six Great Secret Organizations, which will you move against first?"

Hong Datong wasted no time and asked the question directly.

Their conversation was like Yama calling the roll, deciding the fate of the mortal world.

"Let’s start with Donghua. I have a Headless Immortal Corpse on Penglai Immortal Mountain that should be of great use to your plan."

Yi Beidou said after a moment of deliberation.

"Donghua? As in, All the Sons?"

Hearing Yi Beidou, a flicker of reminiscence appeared in Hong Datong’s eyes.

He was once a member of All the Sons, and he understood their innermost secrets better than anyone.

"The original founder of All the Sons was named Yu Xuzi, also known as the ’Jade Emperor.’ He achieved enlightenment over six thousand years ago. He is one of the most ancient existences among the Seven Great Secret Organizations, and of the seven Source Beings, he is the only one whose exact location I can give you."

Hong Datong said as he looked at Yi Beidou.

"Oh? It seems your connection to him is anything but simple."

A thoughtful look crossed Yi Beidou’s face. He had heard of the schism within All the Sons but was unaware of the hidden story behind it.

"He is also a peerless individual. As far as I know, of the seven Source Beings, he’s the one who has been awake the longest. The secrets he holds are unrivaled, spanning all of history. He personally witnessed many of the greatest events."

"He did help me a great deal in the past. You’ll understand when you meet him. You might be able to get some deeper secrets from him."

"He isn’t what I’d call our enemy, but getting him to cooperate will require you to show your true strength. He is an unfathomable, terrifying being who possesses an exceptionally well-preserved ancient ruin."

"I will now give you the method to locate him. For ordinary Ancient Ones, even for Sleepers, knowing the coordinates isn’t enough to reach his sanctuary. They can’t even penetrate the mystic barrier that shields it. I was only able to communicate with him because I am a Spirit Cultivator."

"However, for someone like you, it should be no problem at all."

Hong Datong flicked his finger, and a mote of spiritual light floated towards Yi Beidou, who caught it and crushed it in his grasp.

A unique spiritual perception welled up within him.

His dual senses—those of a Celestial Demon and of Tribulation—activated at once. Yi Beidou’s eyes were half-lidded. Here, within the Human Dao River, his spiritual awareness grew even more acute.

He then seemed to lock onto a target. For a rare moment, a flicker of emotion broke the calm in his eyes, revealing a hint of astonishment.

The target wasn’t stationary; it was constantly changing position, seemingly an ancient ruin that could move about, much like Penglai Immortal Mountain.

Moreover, this ruin wasn’t on the ground.

"The target is... over thirty thousand meters above sea level?"

Yi Beidou asked, a note of astonishment in his voice.

"The Immortal abodes of the Thirty-Three Heavens, looking down on the mortal world for six thousand years."

Hong Datong recited in a low voice.
