"If he doesn't go to prehistoric times, where will he go?"
Zhan Ji, the sixth young master of the Mi Luo Palace and also the goddess of the Fourteenth Era, expressed his confusion.
Seventh Prince Chaos rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat unwell from the seventeenth century, and didn't want to explain the situation to Sixth Prince in detail.
"Could it be that Venerable Cao Ya intends to start from the very beginning and try to resolve the ultimate coldness?"
The Seventh Prince was confused and couldn't figure out Cao Ya's thoughts, so he could only keep an eye on things.
He wasn't worried about Cao Ya's safety.
He could roam freely throughout the ages, and even if the young masters made trouble, he had trump cards to resist. Cao Ya was even stronger. If the Third Young Master Ling Xiao or the Fourth Young Master Zi Xiao dared to make a move, they would be courting death!
Moreover, after careful consideration, the Seventh Prince Chaos also felt that the ultimate disaster originated from the very beginning, which seemed to make sense.
The two youngest princes of the Miro Palace were inside the Chaos Hall, gazing at the boundless river.
Watch Cao Yatian's every move!
They didn't pay much attention to the actions of those experts outside.
None of the enlightened beings could possibly threaten Cao Ya Tianzun!
However, at the end of the Sixteenth Era, many experts in the entire Miro Palace, including those in the World Tree faction, were eager to try their luck.
"The Heavenly Court of Yankang in the 17th century has blocked our way for so long, it's time to collect some interest!"
"As the saying goes, 'Two fists can't beat four hands.' No matter how strong Cao Yatian is, if we unite, we can still leave him in the past universe!"
"At that time, even if Cao Yatianzun doesn't die, he will have to face the calamity of birth and death during the change of eras, just like us!"
"Haha, will the Heavenly Court of Yankang not allow Heavenly Venerable Cao Ya to return to the Seventeenth Era?"
The sight of people who are as close as family turning against each other is always exciting.
Moreover, this is based on the fact that Cao Ya Tianzun can protect himself from the attacks of many powerful figures. Otherwise, he would have died directly, and there would be no other issues.
With Cao Yatianzun gone, the danger to Yankang Heavenly Court has been significantly reduced.
While figures like Kaihuang, Yun Tianzun, and Yue Tianzun were powerful, frankly speaking, they were basically no match for prehistoric giants. Only Mu Tianzun possessed some real skill.
The group believed that they couldn't defeat a master from the 17th century in a one-on-one fight, but with the young masters and Elder Wuya taking action... everything would be fine!
No one would miss such a golden opportunity!
If they don't kill Cao Yatian, their smuggling journey will continue to face major problems!
"Cao Ya, you are too arrogant." Under the World Tree, the Boundless Old Man looked up and spoke in a magnificent voice.
Around him, all sorts of enlightened beings stood in the void, guarding the World Tree.
The World Tree, supporting the heavens and the earth, corresponds to the Ruins that swallowed the world, and is also a strange place that connects seventeen eras.
Initially, the master of the Miro Palace attained enlightenment under the World Tree.
As a result, the World Tree developed sentience and became the Boundless Old Man.
With control over the time passage, the Boundless Old Man's status is extraordinary.
Although his camp was not as powerful as the Mi Luo Palace, and in some eras it was inferior to the Heavenly Capital City, overall it was still a top-tier force.
After all, even the Boundless Elder needs the help of those who have attained enlightenment to fight against the young master of the Mi Luo Palace and the Kaitian Clan of Tiandu City.
Furthermore, within the Dao Realm system, the cultivation of others can often boost the cultivation level of Elder Wuya.
The so-called Dao Tree, cultivated at the thirty-seventh level of the Dao Realm, was born from the World Tree.
Of course, those who have attained enlightenment through connections can avoid this influence and prevent their insights from becoming mere resources for the Boundless Old Man.
Clearly, such enlightened beings make up a small percentage.
Therefore, whether for the sake of the future of road construction or out of fear of the great calamity of birth and death, the intense desire to survive led the enlightened ones to seek refuge with the Boundless Old Man.
As for those who can help increase magical power, the Boundless Old Man will not refuse anyone who comes.
Over hundreds of millions of years, eight or nine out of ten prehistoric cultivators who attacked the ancestral world of the Seventeenth Era were from the World Tree faction.
Unlike in previous eras, this time, the failure to cross the border by stealth has led to the deep hatred of the Boundless Elder and his Dao-achievers for the Yan Kang Heavenly Court!
"Let's make our move..." a master suggested, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent as he looked at Cao Yatianzun on the river.
The old man pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No rush."
"Let's see how the Miro Palace reacts first."
His general agreed, saying, "That's right! Ling Xiao, the third young master of the Mi Luo Palace, has had his scheme completely foiled. If we're talking about hatred, this one is the one with the greatest hatred!"
"If we wait for him to take the lead, we can then seize the opportunity to strike, thus avoiding the first fatal blow from Venerable Cao Ya!"
The old man smiled slightly, showing his approval.
He asked himself, "My magical power is unparalleled throughout history, even surpassing that of the master of the Mi Luo Palace!"
However, his understanding of the Dao was lacking, which caused his power to decline, leaving him only able to fight against the young masters.
The Third Prince, Ling Xiao, once remotely influenced the Ancient God Era and the Dragon Han Era of the Seventeenth Century.
In terms of harnessing the power of all living beings, there is no doubt that the Third Prince is the best in the Seventeenth Era!
After the master of the Mi Luo Palace passed away, the Third Young Master still insisted on upholding the Mi Luo Palace's traditions, wanting to use the blood sacrifice of people from the Seventeenth Era to exchange energy and send the Mi Luo Palace into a new era.
It can be said that the shadow of the Three Princes was behind all the tragedies and conspiracies of the Seventeenth Century.
After Tai Di, Tai Chu, Hao Tian Zun, and others were all killed, the Third Prince's advance plan was ruined.
The old man Wuya thought to himself that he absolutely could not bear such a loss!
Because the World Tree exists throughout all eras, he doesn't need to scheme and plot like the Third Prince.
There was some prior investment, though it was negligible.
However, the World Tree of the Seventeenth Era had failed to awaken, which troubled him somewhat.
"Next, we'll see how the Miro Palace reacts. If they cower like cowards... hehe, the Kaitian Clan will be itching to make a move." The old man Wuya said with a smile, watching the tigers fight from the mountain.
The Heavenly Capital City was founded by the Lord of Heavenly Capital, and its philosophy differs from that of the Mi Luo Palace.
Even the Lord of Tiandu, as the Taiji Ancient God of the Third Era, once studied under the Master of the Mi Luo Palace.
After the Sixth Era ended, the Lord of Tiandu led his subordinates to usher in the Seventh Era!
Therefore, they called themselves the Creators, acted recklessly, and turned the Seventh Era universe into a chaotic mess, a place that was not even human, but more hellish than hell itself!
Despite repeated attempts by the master of the Mi Luo Palace to persuade him, he remained unmoved. Left with no other choice, the master of the Mi Luo Palace took action, killing the Lord of Tiandu and banishing the Kaitian Clan.
In that battle, the master of the Miro Palace, with his astonishing power, also firmly established his status as the strongest being in the universe in the past!
Even though the Boundless Old Man, as the World Tree, had a large group of Dao Realm cultivators supporting him and propelling his magical power, he knew that he could never defeat the Master of the Mi Luo Palace!
However, at this moment, the master of the Mi Luo Palace has already passed away.
The eldest son, Taishang, heartbroken, withdrew from worldly affairs, while the second son, Wuji, was suppressed at the bottom of Guixu. The fifth, sixth, and seventh sons were similarly unknown.
In the end, the Miro Palace, which once dominated the universe, is now only occupied by two young masters, the third and the fourth.
The Kaitian Clan, including the Boundless Elder himself, were itching to show off their skills and had their eyes on the Mi Luo Palace.
If the Third and Fourth Young Masters hadn't been strong enough, they would have been besieged and attacked long ago, breaking through Jade Capital City and shattering the Mi Luo Palace!
But once Cao Yatianzun stepped into the Chaos River and the Mi Luo Palace, if he made no move, all sides no longer held back and swarmed forward...
Meanwhile, in a strange area, the thirty-five Creators of Tiandu City, led by the eerie smiling man, also looked towards the Chaos River.
"It's him, Venerable Cao Ya!"
The smiling man at the head of the group had a very frightening smile on his face.
“I feel like I’m seeing yet another master of the Miro Palace!” The other Kaitian Clan members also had stiff smiles on their faces. Their tone seemed to be praising, but combined with their expressions, it was hard not to feel a chill down one’s spine.
Fortunately, there was no one else here.
"Throughout history, apart from the master of the Mi Luo Palace, whom we cannot defeat, we have a chance to win against other experts, even if it's just the young masters, or the Lord of Tiandu, Ling, or Elder Wuya, if we join forces, or at least not be defeated!"
"Now, there's another Cao Ya Tianzun."
"But he won't allow us to enter the Seventeenth Century!"
"Then kill him! Our divine powers of creation are so great that even the master of the Mi Luo Palace has to take notice. No matter how powerful Cao Ya Tianzun is, he can't possibly pose a real threat to our lives!"
"Furthermore, the Mi Luo Palace will also take action against Cao Ya Tianzun! This is also an opportunity for us!"
"It can both seize the opportunity to kill Cao Yatianzun and destroy the Mi Luo Palace in one fell swoop!"
"At that time, the World Tree faction will be nothing more than a minor ailment, insignificant."
The thirty-five members of the Heavenly Creator quickly made up their minds, exchanging words and opinions.
Once, the Heavenly Capital and the Miro Palace fought a war that lasted for several eras.
That happened in the Seventh Era, after the Lord of Tiandu had been killed by the Master of the Miro Palace.
It wasn't until Ling was suppressed by the master of the Mi Luo Palace that Tiandu City disappeared without a trace, and the Kaitian Clan had no choice but to go into hiding.
In the eyes of the Creator Clan, the Miro Palace and the World Tree were nothing more than corrupt old forces.
Only the Taoist methods of Tiandu City can be the antidote to the universe!
"Moreover, Venerable Cao Ya was born in the 17th century. Using him as an anchor, we might be able to force our way into a new era!"
"That was a prosperous universe, perfect for our research. Using the common people as our test subjects and the myriad gods and demons as our vessels, we can continue to refine our creation-of-the-world divine powers!"
The thirty-five Heavenly Openers were eager to make their move, just waiting for the Mi Luo Palace to take action.
Within the city of Yujing, this is the residence of the Mi Luo Palace, a place specially created by the master of the Mi Luo Palace to combat ultimate desolation.
Various palaces and pavilions rose up in the capital city, shining brightly through the ages.
The Third Young Master Ling Xiao and the Fourth Young Master Zi Xiao are discussing whether or not to take action.
“Not killing Cao Yatianzun is a sign of weakness to the universe. The World Tree and the Creators will appear and target our Mi Luo Palace together!” Third Young Master Ling Xiao said meaningfully.
Inside the Zixiao Palace, the Fourth Prince played the zither, his expression sorrowful, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude, as if he were reminiscing about something.
Upon hearing the Third Young Master's telepathic message, the Fourth Young Master shook his head and said, "Cao Ya Tianzun is not easy to deal with."
"Furthermore, he has no fundamental conflict with Yujing City."
The Third Young Master sneered and said, "Easy for you to say! The Mi Luo Palace wants to go to the Seventeenth Era, but the World Tree passage is inaccessible. The only way is through blood sacrifice to exchange energy!"
"As long as Cao Yatianzun exists, we will be trapped here, stuck at the end of the sixteenth century, unable to go back to the past or step into the future, like amber, fixed at a certain point."
The fourth young master whispered, "But all I want is to go back to the past!"
The Third Young Master's face darkened. Without the Fourth Young Master's help, he really wasn't confident that he could deal with Cao Yatianzun by himself!
"Like the eldest brother, he's hopeless." The third young master complained.
After the passing of the master of the Mi Luo Palace, the eldest son, Taishang, also faced extinction and never returned to this world.
The fourth prince, Zixiao, was heartbroken over his wife's death. For several eons, all he could think about was going back in time to save his wife and overcome the annihilation calamity.
The remaining four young masters—the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh—are not on the same path as the third young master.
In this situation, the only ally that the Third Prince Lingxiao could turn to was the Fourth Prince Zixiao.
"In the entire Miro Palace, only I am the true successor to my teacher!" the Third Young Master thought to himself.
He must raise the Jade Capital high, go to the Seventeenth Era, and then break through the ultimate desolation to achieve the feat that even his teacher could not accomplish!
As for the blood sacrifices of the worlds throughout the Seventeenth Era, exchanging energy... that was a necessary sacrifice!
The limitations imposed by the laws of nature are something no one can escape.
Without any extra energy, how could they possibly sneak away from the past?
"Cao Ya, I will find your weakness and kill you!" The Third Young Master looked up, his eyes fixed on Cao Ya's every move.
The Chaos River gathers all the wonders and mysteries of the past and present.
The waves crashing against the surface looked like a seat about to fall, extremely dangerous.
Especially for Cao Ya Tianzun, the obstacles became more and more obvious the further he went into ancient times.
The Third Young Master did not believe that Cao Yatianzun could remain calm and indifferent forever!
The slightest loophole will be his opportunity!
"Regardless of what the eldest, fourth, and even seventh brothers are thinking, they certainly cannot stand idly by and watch Yujing City be destroyed!"
With no worries about the future, the Third Young Master figured he could now focus all his efforts on ambushing Cao Yatianzun.
Even the teachers dared not underestimate his sneak attacks!
Even if Cao Yatian is strong, can he compare to the teacher?!
In fact, in an even earlier era, the master of the Miro Palace, who had not yet attained enlightenment, also foresaw the changes to come.
"A visitor from the 17th century..." The master of the Miro Palace was quite interested.
He couldn't even see through the newcomer's background?
In the seventeenth century, an even more powerful person who had attained enlightenment was born?
Although I don't want to boast, the master of the Miro Palace was born in the First Era and is the only one who survived to the end of the First Era. He was invincible throughout the sixteen eras!
His strength was unparalleled throughout history, and he was invincible in the world!
"I want to ask, did he discover the ultimate desolation of the Seventeenth Era?"
The master of the Miro Palace muttered to himself, "To be able to attain enlightenment in the seventeenth century is enough to show that this person is extraordinary. Perhaps he has a different understanding of ultimate desolation?"
In the Seventh Era, the era of the rule of the Heavenly Capital, the Lord of Heaven and the Creators controlled the Great Dao, viewed all living beings as ants, and used the universe as a chessboard to conduct various studies.
Many of them were so cruel and inhumane that they were unbearable to look at.
After falling into the River of Chaos, the ancient god Taiyi, who had reached the seventh era after the passage of time, sighed upon seeing the scene of this world.
He was the primordial spirit of the Lord of Heaven, who was reincarnated in the seventeenth era.
His entire personality changed drastically.
They also felt disgust and rejection towards their actions in their previous life.
Therefore, he made no attempt to inform the Lord of Tiandu or the Master of the Mi Luo Palace that they were about to take action.
"It would be better if he were dead!"
Taiyi shook his head, but suddenly noticed the commotion in the capital city of the Seventh Era.
"They're going to ambush and kill Cao Ya?"
