Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Chapter 237 The Decree of Clarity Void Exalted One_2
 

“Is something wrong with this Dao Trace Sun Disaster?”

“What do you mean by that, True Being Yunxia?”

“This expanding Great Sun seems to show no signs of shrinking.”

All the Spirit Refining True Beings immersed in the insights of the Taiyang Path were taken aback, then suddenly realized the Great Sun had already taken over the entire sky.

The concentration of True Sunfire between heaven and earth had grown a hundredfold compared to before, making them feel the pain of being scorched by the true fire with every breath they took.

It was just that they had been completely immersed in the comprehension of the Taiyang Path before and had not been aware of the changes in their surroundings.

“This is bad!”

The expressions of all the True Beings changed drastically.

As the entire sky was completely devoured, the expanding Great Sun was seen plummeting down towards the crystallized desert at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The world seemed to melt in the light of the Great Sun, and even the Divine Sense they extended wilted under its scorching burn.

At that moment, the same two words flashed through the minds of all the Spirit Refining True Beings.

“Sun Disaster!”

The Dao Trace Sun Disaster not only bestowed the Dao rhymes of the great paths but also brought about a calamity capable of destroying heavens and earth; that was the true meaning of a Dao Trace Sun Disaster.

“Run!”

Even though the Taiyang Path in the midst of the crystallized desert had become dense enough to observe without effort, no one dared to stay and continue their contemplation.

In that falling Great Sun, they seemed to feel the majesty of the Sun Star that had been hanging high above various realms for countless years.

The transformed Sun God Dharma Image was melting away, their physical bodies burning, and even the Mana within them was being evaporated by the formidable power of the disaster.

Streams of Flight of Light were pushed to their limit, and they finally managed to escape the range of the Dao Trace Sun Disaster just before the Great Sun fell.

“Boom!”

As the expanding Great Sun crashed into the crystallized desert, all beings within the Secret Realm Square-Inch saw the dazzling light of the Great Sun rise from the center of the Secret Realm, and the rumbling sound of the earth trembling swept through the entire realm.

In a trance, it was as if a Supreme Emperor donning golden-red emperor robes and a pearl-veil crown deigned to cast a fleeting glance upon this primitive Secret Realm.

In an instant, the world underwent a drastic change, and the authority of the Supreme Emperor came upon the entire Secret Realm Square-Inch, with all beings feeling awe from the depths of their souls.

Even after numerous lifetimes of reincarnation, the reverence for the Supreme Emperor retained within the True Spirit could not be erased.

This state only lasted for a brief moment, and the next instant everything returned to the starting point, seemingly indistinguishable from before.

The fall of the Great Sun deprived the Secret Realm Square-Inch of its sun, turning day into night, with only the stars hanging high in the sky, shining with the brilliance of the celestial stars.

On the periphery of the crystallized desert, Xue Mingzhi was gasping for breath, looking towards the desert engulfed by the Great Sun with an expression of terror.

Just now, he had survived an unimaginable Dao Trace Sun Disaster as a Qi-training cultivator.

Although he gained quite a bit from it, if Shen Yuan had not taken him away from the crystallized desert at the last moment, he probably would not have even had the chance to voluntarily leave the Secret Realm in the presence of the majestic Great Sun.

Rising to his feet from the ground, Xue Mingzhi tried to calm his emotions and respectfully bowed to Shen Yuan, saying:

“Thank you, sir, for your timely rescue.”

Shen Yuan simply nodded indifferently, his gaze also falling on the place where the Great Sun had fallen.

This so-called Dao Trace Sun Disaster was naturally also designed by Shen Yuan to accelerate the trials of the Secret Realm.

As the creator of the Secret Realm, Shen Yuan sculpted the entire realm with the power to create heaven and earth, possessing far greater privileges within the Secret Realm than those outside.

The traces of the great paths were all actively integrated by him into the operational rules of the Secret Realm, in order to display them to all trialists, thereby elevating the status of the realm’s trials.

Based on past experiences, the higher the completion of the main quests, the better the rewards received, so naturally, Shen Yuan devoted much thought to this aspect.

Taking advantage of the stand-off between the Netherworld Demon Gods and the sect, Shen Yuan simply threw it out.

“It seems the effect is quite good,” Shen Yuan said, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he turned and led Xue Mingzhi towards a tall peak.

“Let’s go!”

In order to enhance the status of the Secret Realm, there would be far more than one dao mark catastrophe; he naturally needed to prepare for the second act of the drama.

…

Atop a cloud sea where lofty mountains towered, three Taoists dressed in light cyan robes stood in place.

Among the three Taoists, two had old faces and a decaying aura, while the young Taoist standing at the front seemed to be only in his twenties.

At the moment, the trio was gazing at the Pure Spirit Qi that was omnipresent above the cloud sea, their eyes flashing with uncontrollable exuberance.

“Such an immense amount of Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi, it even far surpasses the accumulation of ten thousand years in my own Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens,”

“Within the Primal Chaos Realm, only the Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Pool of my Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens could possibly produce Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi.

This place’s immense quantity of Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi is definitely abnormal!”

“The speculation of the Taoist sect master was indeed not wrong.”

“Is this the place mentioned in the Exalted One’s Decree as having an anomaly in the Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Elemental Qi?”

“When we go back to report to the Exalted One, we may have the chance to receive blessings bestowed by the Exalted One, and perhaps have the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm!”

At the mention of that Exalted One, all three showed faces full of reverence.

They were from the contemporary number one Grotto Heavens Sacred Land, the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens.

As a place where numerous Immortals take refuge from calamities, the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens has always maintained an exceedingly hermit-like stance in the world.

Even during the previous upheaval in the Netherworld and the reconstruction of the incense offering magic domain by Emperor Xia, which affected the entire Great Xia, the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens had no intention of intervening.

The Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens could afford such a detached stance precisely because it had something to rely on.

Apart from those remaining Immortals, the biggest trump card of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens was the Clarity Void Exalted One who descended into this world thousands of years ago.

A Taoism’s Exalted One, even if in the Upper World, could suppress all other powerful beings, not to mention that the Clarity Void Exalted One was a disciple of the Yuqing Tao Ancestor, and the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens was the lineage passed down by the Clarity Void Exalted One.

This information was originally strictly sealed by the Grotto Heaven until more than a year ago when the Clarity Void Exalted One suddenly issued a decree to search for places with anomalies in the Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Elemental Qi, alerting everyone that there was an Exalted One overseeing the sect.

Even when the Netherworld Demon God, the Fengdu Emperor, appeared in the world, the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens was still able to maintain its composure like Mount Tai.

Only a few days ago, when the news regarding the Secret Realm Square-Inch reac

The Secret Realm Square-Inch involved several powerful experts at the same level as the Emotions Exalted One and even one Taoism’s Exalted One, containing many secrets that might relate to the Exalted One’s Decree.

The three were dispatched to investigate the Secret Realm Square-Inch, their existence unknown even to the other families within the Grotto Heavens Sacred Land.

After some searching, the immense amount of Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi in the Ninth Heavens made them realize that this place might very well be what the Exalted One’s Decree was seeking.

The opportunity to fulfill the orders of the Exalted One and receive blessings from the Exalted One was tantalizingly close.

Suddenly, the expression of the young Taoist among them changed, and he looked towards another peak upon the cloud sea not far away.

There, a young man dressed in a white Vestment robe with an ethereal demeanor was ascending the summit with a Qi-training cultivator at a leisurely pace.

The young Taoist’s face froze, then his eyes locked onto the white-clothed youth, his hoarse voice filled with an indescribable fury.

“Shen Yuan!”

Shen Yuan had sensed the presence of the trio from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens before he even began the ascent, but he had disregarded them.

However, now that his name was unexpectedly called by this unfamiliar young Taoist, Shen Yuan was quite surprised.

Searching through his memories, confirming that he did not recognize this distinguished-looking young Taoist, Shen Yuan asked with an indifferent expression.

“Who are you?”

Those two short words instantly stopped the full brunt of the young Taoist’s rage, followed by his stiff face turning pale a shade of green and white.

He viewed Shen Yuan as an unparalleled enemy, an anger that had smoldered for ten thousand years about to erupt, only to be met with a casual question.

“Sure enough, you are as arrogant as you were ten thousand years ago!

“I am Xu Hao, the reserve Sacred Sage of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, and I once crossed swords with you on Lesser Mount Sumeru.”
