Haotian still faces considerable pressure when facing Daozun.
The main problem is that his cultivation level is too low. Even after merging with the Heavenly Emperor, he is only at the early stage of Dao Saint.
If we can find Lu Tao and force him to reveal the method to quickly improve his cultivation, we might be able to narrow the gap between our cultivation levels, and even enable him to kill the Dao Venerable.
"yes!"
Many Daoist saints received the order and dared not linger.
Only the God Lord, the Lord of Heaven, the Time-Space Dao Saint, and the Dragon Saint—these four beings, who are either at the peak of Dao Saint cultivation or possess the strength of a peak Dao Saint—dared to help Haotian and contend with the Dao Venerable.
But I only provided assistance from the sidelines.
Swish, swish, swish!
Dozens of Dao Saints departed and entered the Heavenly Court and Divine Dynasty territories to begin searching for Lu Tao's whereabouts.
After a search, naturally nothing was found.
final.
At the suggestion of the Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Court's Dao Saints, the saints decided to descend to the mortal realm and force Lu Tao to reveal himself to the beings there.
Dao Gong Dao Sheng initially did not support this decision, but after hearing that Lu Tao might have the ability to rapidly improve cultivation and possibly grant them Chaos Talents.
Dao Gong Dao Sheng no longer hesitated in the slightest.
"Walk!"
In an instant, Dao Saints tore through space and headed to various lower realms.
To their bewilderment, they traversed one starry sky after another without finding anything.
Many lower realms are now devoid of any living beings.
Not just living beings.
Even many planets in the lower cosmos have disappeared, leaving only desolate planets, making the entire cosmos appear utterly barren.
"Lu Tao must have guessed our plans beforehand, which is why he took these beings from the lower realm!"
"Hmph! But the more he acts like this, the more it shows how much he values these beings. If that's the case, then let him continue. I don't believe he can take away all the beings in the lower realm."
“That’s right! Lu Tao must have taken these living beings after the collapse of the Heavenly Dao. I don’t believe he could have taken all the living beings in the lower realm in just a few hours.”
"Walk!"
...
In an instant, one Dao Saint after another continued to traverse the lower realms and star systems.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Inside the cave, Lu Tao watched this scene indifferently.
Instead of taking immediate action, he allowed these Dao Saints to continue traversing the starry sky, delaying them for as long as possible, ideally causing Haotian and Dao Zun to suffer mutual destruction during this period.
However, it is clear that this is just wishful thinking.
soon.
Many Dao Saints searched the entire lower realm of the Divine Dynasty and Heavenly Court, but found no living beings at all.
This made them look extremely uncomfortable.
but.
After realizing that Lu Tao had never attacked the Dao Palace's Dao Saints, God Emperors, or God Sovereigns, they immediately turned their attention to the lower realm starry sky within the Dao Palace's territory.
Even the more than thirty Dao Saints of the Dao Palace did not object.
Tear—
Space was being torn apart, and dozens of Dao Saints were about to enter the lower realm starry sky within the Dao Palace's territory...
Suddenly, at that moment, something strange happened.
Buzz!
In the darkness, the void trembled slightly.
In the perception of dozens of Dao Saints, the Heavenly Dao, which had disappeared, suddenly reappeared.
Not only that.
The will of the lower realm surged forth instantly, and an immense and unparalleled power instantly acted upon all the Dao Saints in the lower realm.
puff--
In an instant, caught off guard, the originally incomparably powerful cultivation of the Dao Saints was instantly suppressed by the will of the lower realm.
He was directly suppressed from the Dao Saint level to the Martial God Perfection level.
This moment.
All the Dao Saints in the starry sky coughed up blood and retreated, some even crashing onto planets.
"How is this possible?"
"How could the Heavenly Dao reappear, and be even more powerful than before?"
"What's going on? Where did this Heavenly Dao come from?"
"Could this be the work of the Daoist Master?"
...
All the Dao Saints looked ashen-faced, some even filled with fear.
Especially when they realized that even powerful Dao Saints like themselves were unable to resist the will of heaven and earth in the lower realm.
It is difficult to restore one's own cultivation level.
This made them feel anxious and uneasy.
They all speculated that this was the work of the Daoist Sage.
Such a powerful Heavenly Dao, and they are currently in the lower realm, cannot return to the upper realm by tearing through space in an instant.
Instead, one needs to cross the spatial barrier between the two realms.
However, the difficulty of returning is so great that they may perish in the spatial passage.
If it was the work of a Daoist saint, they would certainly not survive.
This moment.
They all panicked.
"Go! Kill them all!"
Inside the cave, Lu Tao indifferently observed the many Dao Saints in the starry sky and gave orders to He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Xiaotianquan, and others.
"yes!"
The group accepted the order and traveled directly through the Anywhere Door to various star systems, arriving in front of different Dao Saints.
However, their cultivation and actions are not affected by the will of heaven and earth.
Buzz!
When Tantai Yun appeared before a Dao Saint, his expression was full of complex emotions, with joy, disappointment and confusion constantly intertwined in his eyes.
"Who are you……"
Before Tantai Yun stood a female Dao Saint, who appeared to be only twenty years old. She was beautiful, had a stunning figure, but possessed a dignified and noble air.
She is the Heavenly Court's Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The moment the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden saw Tantai Yun, her expression changed drastically, but when she noticed Tantai Yun's complicated expression, she hesitated.
How could she not see that the woman in front of her seemed to know her?
But she was certain that she had never met this woman.
She was furious, furious that her cultivation had been suppressed and that she was unable to properly sense Tantai Yun's spiritual aura.
But in reality, even if she still had her cultivation level, she still couldn't sense the familiar aura.
Tantai Yun pursed her lips and looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, saying softly, "Spiritual Dao Palace..."
"Are you Yun'er?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stared wide-eyed at Tantai Yun, her expression a mixture of surprise and doubt.
Her beloved disciple was the Palace Master of Lingdao Palace. The woman in front of her mentioned Lingdao Palace and had such a strange expression, which made her subconsciously think of her beloved disciple.
But she was certain that the woman's spiritual aura was completely different from that of her beloved disciple.
Moreover, her beloved disciple's life pearl had only recently completely dissipated.
How could this woman in front of him possibly be his beloved disciple?
Unexpectedly, Tantai Yun nodded silently and explained, "I have already reincarnated once."
"I see."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly realized, and looked at Tantai Yun with a mixture of surprise and joy.
Overwhelmed by the huge surprise, she even wanted to rush forward and hug him, but when she met Tantai Yun's eyes, she gave up the idea.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Tantai Yun, opened her mouth, and finally explained, "I know you have never perished. I have tried to infiltrate the Divine Dynasty to save you many times, but I was discovered by the Dao Saint of the Divine Dynasty each time. You have suffered all these years."
She already knew.
For countless years, the divine soul energy within the disciple's life pearl has been on the verge of collapse.
It is obvious that he was seriously injured, barely clinging to life with his soul in a weak state, and may even have been imprisoned and tortured by the powerful figures of the Divine Dynasty.
But she was unable to help.
This has left her in a state of endless self-blame all these years.
Not long ago, when the divine soul aura within her beloved disciple's life pearl completely disappeared, she even suffered a breakdown.
To her surprise, she would meet her beloved student again under the starry sky.
However, she had some doubts: was the woman in front of her really her beloved student?
"If it weren't for the power of the Heavenly Dao that my master left me, I would have perished long ago and would never have met the sect leader."
Tantai Yun shook her head, having already let go of her past experiences. Even though the pain she had suffered over those countless years had seeped into her soul, she didn't care.
It seems that after going through all this, meeting the sect leader was all worthwhile.
Even in her heart, she was very happy.
Because the sect leader was influenced by her original idea of stealing the ascension passage to transfer the beings of the desolate region and the lower realm, he created the inter-realm passage and the Anywhere Door.
It brought great help to both the sect leader and the Immortal Sect.
"metropolitan……"
Looking at Tantai Yun, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden understood that the so-called sect leader was Lu Tao, and that her beloved disciple had joined the Immortal Sect after reincarnation.
What puzzled her was that she couldn't recover her past life memories until she became a God Emperor.
Suddenly.
Only then did she belatedly realize a possibility, her expression gradually turning incredulous, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You are the God Emperor?"
"Um!"
Tantai Yun nodded slightly.
"Hiss—"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden gasped.
She remembered that it had only been a few months since her beloved disciple's life pearl completely collapsed.
In just a few months, he not only completed his reincarnation but also cultivated to the level of a God Emperor?
This is simply unbelievable.
She once again doubted whether Tantai Yun was her beloved disciple.
But Tantai Yun did not explain. He just looked at her with moist eyes and said, "Why treat the beings of the lower realm like this? You also ascended from the lower realm and once said that you would create an ascension holy land for the ascendants."
"..."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden opened her mouth, but her face was full of bitterness, and she could not speak.
She now knew that the woman before her must be her beloved student.
Although it was incredible, only his beloved disciple knew about the creation of the Ascension Holy Land.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Tantai Yun, then suddenly seemed to realize something and asked with a complicated expression, "Are you here to... kill me?"
"metropolitan……"
Tantai Yun didn't answer, but whispered a name with tears in her eyes.
Lu Tao's voice echoed in the starry sky: "Disperse your soul. Considering that you were once Master Tantai Yun, I will give you a chance to reincarnate."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden laughed and said, "Hehe, Sect Master Lu Tao, although my cultivation has been suppressed, we are all the same in the lower realm. You want my beloved disciple to kill me? It's not that simple. If you have the ability, come and do it yourself."
"Master..."
Tantai Yun looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't even look at Tantai Yun. Lu Tao had made them stage a scene of betraying their master and killing their disciple, and she naturally didn't want to face it.
She wanted to provoke Lu Tao and see what kind of person he really was.
"Lu Tao, get out here!"
Her voice carried far and wide, like thunder, causing a tremendous roar throughout the lower realm, accompanied by a rain of blood.
"This is……"
The goddess of the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess's expression suddenly changed drastically, before she could think any further.
Boom! Crash! Splash!
The strange celestial phenomena that had appeared not long ago are now reappearing one after another, seemingly without end.
"How is that possible?"
This moment.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was trembling all over, but she felt nothing even as she was drenched in blood rain.
She knew that this was because other Dao Saints were being killed one after another.
These Dao Saints, like her, traveled through the lower realms.
However, even with everyone's cultivation suppressed, they were killed one after another within a few breaths.
This means...
These Dao Saints, when at the same level, were no match for the Immortal Sect. It is even possible that even those who had returned to the Dao Saint level were no match for the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
How terrifying is that?
No wonder the Immortal Sect was able to kill more than thirty Dao Saints from the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty.
"well!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden sighed helplessly, no longer arousing Lu Tao's interest. Even the disciples of the Immortal Sect were so terrifying, let alone Lu Tao, the sect leader.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Tantai Yun, took out a small world and handed it to her, saying apologetically, "Yun'er, I have disappointed you."
"Master..."
Tantai Yun looked at his master with reluctance, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Jiutian Xuannv shaking her head.
"Sect Master Lu is the one who truly cares about the common people. I am far inferior to him. Follow Sect Master Lu well. I am off now."
Buzz!
The next moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden disintegrated in the starry sky.
His physical body transformed into rich spiritual energy that dispersed in all directions, while his soul vanished into nothingness amidst Tantai Yun's tear-streaked face.
Boom—
Lightning flashed, and the entire lower celestial sky turned silvery white.
"Master..."
Tantai Yun gripped the Lesser Thousand World in his hand, knelt in the starry sky in grief, kowtowed nine times, and then got up and returned to the Immortal Sect, back to Lu Tao's side.
Tantai Yun knelt down directly before Lu Tao: "Thank you, Sect Master, for allowing me to personally send Master off on his final journey!"
"Yes, get up."
Lu Tao nodded slightly, then looked towards the outer void of the God Realm.
There, Dao Zun, Haotian, Shenzhu, the Lord of Heaven, and others were already shocked by the reappearance of the Heavenly Dao and the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
Lu Tao also knew that it was time for him to undergo tribulation and become a saint.
