Ultimately, after numerous assurances from the Grand Elder,

Zi Yunshang had no choice but to accept this fact.

Their supreme Dao artifact from the Northern Realm of Purple Clouds had indeed disappeared ten years ago.

Gently pinching her forehead, Zi Yunshang let out a long breath.

Although this matter is somewhat inexplicable and strange, the most urgent task is not to question anyone, but to find the Dao Ancestor's artifact body first.

The Dao Ancestor reincarnated as a human and left his Daoist body here. Now that it is lost, she will have a hard time explaining it if he returns and asks about it.

They acted decisively and efficiently.

Then, the Purple Cloud Saintess's eyes were filled with starlight and purple light, and she was about to use the Heavenly Venerable's methods to find the reason, and at the same time, she was going to find out the truth about the disappearance of the Dao Ancestor's artifact.

And, directly retrieve the Dao body of the Purple Star Ring.

He is at the fifth level of the Emperor Realm, a master of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Possessing the power of a fifth-level world, though not comparable to an ultimate emperor, he is still one of the strongest in the world. (The Emperor Realm has ten levels; the first nine are called Heavenly Venerables, and the final level is the ultimate level, called Emperor.)

She was determined to find an item, even if it meant searching for it in the netherworld.

Soon enough, she actually discovered the traces of the Purple Star Ring.

His eyes pierced through boundless space and time, gazing at that circle of silvery white, which contained the stars of the heavens.

Even though it has lost the spiritual light of the Dao embryo and has become an empty body.

However, the power of the Purple Star Ring remained undiminished, and the energy emanating from it even caused the surrounding spacetime to shatter.

This is the divine power of the Dao that naturally erupts after the Dao artifact loses control.

This is a very normal situation.

Then Zi Yunshang directly projected herself onto this spot.

His figure stood in the void, looking at the silver-white star ring that was constantly falling beneath his feet.

She was about to take it back to prevent it from causing more world destruction.

But Zi Yunshang seemed to suddenly realize something, and her expression changed.

His eyes were fixed on the ground, on the empty space that seemed to contain nothing.

But they discovered something unusual.

With her brows furrowed, Zi Yunshang raised her hand, about to uncover something.

But her own methods were ineffective; the moment she touched it, it was dissolved and became invisible, much to her surprise.

The secret passage was strange.

She couldn't bring herself to uncover the truth.

She could sense something beneath her, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

Then he looked at the Purple Star Ring.

His brows furrowed even more.

After a moment of contemplation, I need to deduce what exactly happened over the past ten years.

However, I thought it wouldn't be that easy, and that it would probably take some effort.

But the reality is that everything is clearly visible.

She witnessed the entire process of the loss of the Purple Star Ring from beginning to end.

"How is this possible?"

No one knows what she saw.

Zi Yunshang's face was more solemn than ever before.

She was startled because it all seemed so ordinary, yet somehow inexplicably reasonable.

It's as if a series of coincidences led to this outcome.

In the end, it was all just a jade hairpin, carved with a white lotus pattern, very ordinary.

Its origin is simply that it was purchased by the disciples when they went out, and it has no meaning of its own.

But it's such an insignificant thing.

But like a small piece of rock that slips off a high mountain, it causes almost earth-shattering consequences through a series of coincidences.

How could such a fact not shock her?

Not believing that was all, Zi Yunshang unleashed the full power of her world.

She felt she had been deceived.

We must dispel all illusions and reach the truth.

But the result was obvious; she ultimately failed.

This is exactly what actually happened.

This result left her with a serious and complex expression.

But how could someone who has attained the position of Heavenly Venerable so easily believe it?

She secretly guessed that an unknown powerful figure had intervened, influencing and changing everything.

In other words, someone has reconstructed the ten-year timeline of the Purple Star Ring.

And turn all of this into reality.

This is actually not impossible.

When you reach a certain level of strength, you can see through the essence of everything.

Just like her, she can reverse time, travel across time and space to the past and future, and change things according to her will.

However, limited by their own strength, most of these matters can only be trivial.

Moreover, for a stronger person, her actions would be like a lamp shining too brightly in the dark.

"What kind of being could do this without even Master noticing?"

Unable to express her feelings, Zi Yunshang watched the falling silver-white star ring.

At this moment, she no longer chose to take it away directly.

She decided to see what would happen next.

As for whether there was any danger, she didn't care.

If such beings could truly achieve this level, why wouldn't they bother to conceal it?

She could see everything clearly and guess what was going on.

This shows that the other party doesn't take her seriously at all.

In fact, he knew perfectly well that she would be here today.

In other words, if she were to take the Purple Star Ring now, it might be even more dangerous.

It is safer to wait and see how things develop.

And so, in the end, under Zi Yunshang's watchful gaze, the silvery-white star ring finally fell into that empty space.

Without causing any ripples, the power that neutralized her methods was also difficult to apply to the Dao Body of the Supreme Dao Artifact.

Although the Divine Transformation Array is powerful, it cannot truly achieve the Divine Transformation stage.

Even though it could trap the divine projection, it seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the being closest to the divine.

It can only offset the level of Dao essence emanating from the Supreme Dao Artifact, preventing the world from collapsing as soon as the opponent gets close.
