The sound of reading aloud kept coming, which was astonishing.
Cao Ya pondered that Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace had lost his power. If he wanted to regain his full strength, break the seal, and rule the universe, the only being he could rely on was the one who had been banished here by the former rulers of the Heavenly Court.
Because of the excessive caution, the initial state was very bad.
Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace simply stayed in the Pi Xiang Hall, lulling the bigwigs of the 17th century into a false sense of security, biding his time, and gradually recovering.
The main problem was that in the very beginning, Yuan Sheng was in a very poor state and found it difficult to break the seals of the various heroes.
For those who were powerful in the past, the pressure they faced when trying to sneak into the future was immense.
Of course, it's much easier than forcing your way through the Great Cataclysm and the Cataclysm of Creation.
Otherwise, why would the prehistoric enlightened beings have smuggled themselves across the border?
Those who attain enlightenment are all formidable figures, possessing an inherent arrogance.
Unless absolutely necessary, I have no idea how confident I can be.
Millions of years have passed, and Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace is much better now, but he is not at his peak.
Knowing the inside story, Cao Ya walked unhurriedly toward the direction from which the sound came.
The people around him looked at each other in bewilderment.
Where is the sound of reading coming from inside the Pixiang Hall?
Who is teaching? Who is reading?
Shujun frowned, as if he had some bad memories that he still found hard to believe.
He looked up and saw Cao Ya walking forward without any fear.
Shu Jun couldn't help but secretly admire him. As expected of the strongest Cao Tianzun in the world, such a temperament is unmatched by ordinary people.
With Cao Ya in front, his terrifying strength provides confidence and a sense of security in any dangerous situation.
So the crowd followed, and after walking for a long time through the winding corridors, they finally arrived at a private school. There, many students were sitting in the classroom, swaying their heads and reciting scriptures, looking very serious.
However, as soon as they looked up, the group of people were shocked.
"The Celestial Emperor! The Southern Emperor, Vermilion Bird! The Bright Emperor!"
Those students were all spirits, including the Heavenly Venerable, the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, the Bright Emperor, and other masters who had left their mark on history.
After Yu Tianzun was attacked and killed during the Longhan era, his soul was banished to the Pixiang Palace, while his body was placed in a coffin by You Tianzun. It was not until Qin Mu became the Undying Grand Mage that Yu Tianzun was resurrected.
However, because some of his souls could not be summoned back, Yu Tianzun's situation was rather special. At times, he seemed naive or even childish, lacking the unparalleled elegance of Long Han Yu Tianzun, who was knowledgeable about the mysteries of heaven and earth and well-versed in human relationships.
As for the Southern Emperor Zhuque, he was killed by Huo Tianzun a few years ago. In order to prevent Qin Mu from being resurrected, his soul was also thrown into the Pixiang Palace.
Needless to say, Emperor Ming, as one of the leaders of the Chiming era, had long since died in battle, and his situation was not much different from that of Emperor Zhuque of the South and Yutianzun.
Yun Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, and Kaihuang recognized many historical figures and pointed them out one by one.
Cao Ya did not travel back in time, and the information he knew was only general. He might know more about prehistory, but he didn't know much about many figures in the 17th century.
Similarly, even if Qin Mu traveled through time, he couldn't possibly go to every era.
Before his time, the God-King Langwan had never ventured into the heavens, and in terms of knowledge, he knew far less than Qin Mu and the others.
The same thing happened to Tai Shi; it remained an eggshell and never hatched.
Shu Jun lived in the ancient times. He had only recently been resurrected, and the experts of later generations had no knowledge of him.
Ling Tianzun has indeed lived through many eras, but her personality means she doesn't pay attention to such things.
However, You Tianzun and the others did not arrive.
Therefore, the ones introducing are Yun Tianzun and his companions.
The crowd peered out and saw a teacher inside the private school instructing many spirits, all of whom were renowned masters from history. Yet, here, they were like children, diligently following the teacher's instructions and showing no reaction to the arrival of the assembled heroes.
Besides the Celestial Venerable, the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, and the Bright Emperor, there are all sorts of other characters, including the imposing Creator, the ancient gods and demigods with peculiar appearances, and all kinds of acquired spirits, whether handsome or ordinary, including human masters.
Everyone sat on the ground, holding books of unknown material, swaying their heads and reciting ancient scriptures with a peculiar air, as if a Taoist charm emanated from them, permeating the space.

“A prehistoric powerhouse…” Shujun murmured.
Everyone understood, and had long guessed that the private tutor was definitely not a being from the 17th century.
Yun Tianzun seemed to be deep in thought, and said softly, "The Tai Emperor's divine sense has a great flaw. Occasionally, I heard him complain, as if he harbored deep hatred for a being called 'Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace'."
"Could it be...this person?"
Shujun nodded.
The transmission of teachings by the Primordial Saint of the Mi Luo Palace was crucial to the Tai Emperor's dominance in the ancient era.
Furthermore, by relying on relevant methods, he summoned billions of creators to offer sacrifices to him and help him attain enlightenment.
However, the Emperor Tai did not expect that the day he attained enlightenment would also be the day he was imprisoned.
"The Primordial Saint of the Miro Palace...is he an enlightened being from the prehistoric Miro Palace?" Qin Mu pondered. If that's the case, this person is not to be underestimated.
In fact, every enlightened being is extraordinary.
"We captured the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace and interrogated him about his secret techniques. Perfect timing, it'll help you break through the restrictions," Cao Ya laughed.
Yun Tianzun shook his head and solemnly warned that he was already blessed by the heavens to have survived and replaced the Taidi, taking control of the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven. Even though most of his power was imprisoned in the ultimate void and unable to descend.
However, a portion of their divine consciousness descends to the mortal realm, where they still reach the level of a Heavenly Venerable, able to look down upon all directions and reunite with their relatives and friends, free from the pain of separation.
Why take the risk again?
"Don't worry, I'm confident," Cao Yadan said with a smile.
The crowd exchanged worried glances. Was Cao Tianzun being a bit too audacious?
If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later!
"I'll give it a try first," Qin Mu said eagerly, raising his hand to be the first to go.
"???" The group of people looked on, speechless. It turned out that the old village was a family with a history of such audacity and a particularly adventurous spirit.
Just then, the schoolteacher in the private school suddenly opened his eyes, looked out the window, and saw everyone.
Immediately, the private tutor chuckled, a very bright laugh, as if he were very happy.
"Since you're already here, why not come in and listen to the lecture?" the private tutor said with a smile.
Qin Mu was about to take the lead and enter the private school to test the true strength of Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace.
Suddenly, Yun Tianzun reached out and stopped him.
"This person is very strange. I am not the original body. If I am trapped, I will only lose part of my divine consciousness, without affecting my core. I am even more qualified to take the risk." Yun Tianzun said softly. He understood that Cao Tianzun and Mu Tianzun were definitely going to enter.
Rather than letting them be the first to face danger, it's better for him to go and experience it firsthand. His experience can serve as a reference for others, helping them to take precautions and prevent disasters.
Cao Ya didn't really care. Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace was indeed very powerful, but just like Ling Yu Shang Zun, Yuan Sheng had secretly crossed seventeen eras, and his strength had dropped significantly, making him much weaker than at his peak.
Over the long years, even though it has recovered somewhat, it is still not at its peak.
Otherwise, Cao Ya would not have been able to stubbornly break into the Pixiang Hall even knowing that Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace was there.
They must have been confident to do this.
However, he thought about it again and realized that for the powerful beings of the seventeenth century, it was only a matter of time before they became enlightened beings in prehistoric times.
Experiencing it beforehand can prepare you mentally, so that when you are stationed at the ancestral temple and confront those who have secretly crossed over to become enlightened beings, you will not be caught off guard or overwhelmed by their mysterious methods.
With him in charge, they can fully experience and spar with the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, and deepen their understanding of those who have attained enlightenment. Perhaps this will inspire them to try to break through and become enlightened individuals themselves.
After some thought, Cao Ya decided not to stop them and let Yun Tianzun, Qin Mu, and the others go and test the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace first.
After all, Cao Ya alone couldn't possibly withstand the various prehistoric powers.
Even Qin Mu, Yue Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, and others have all attained enlightenment, which is far less than the numbers of the three major factions: Mi Luo Palace, World Tree, and Tiandu City.
The Seventeenth Century aims to cut off the shortcuts taken by prehistoric enlightened beings to smuggle themselves across the border, and to protect the present world; however, the task remains arduous and the road ahead is long.
Since Yun Tianzun's situation was indeed the most suitable, none of the powerful figures objected and watched Yun Tianzun enter.
Cao Ya had a divine sword hanging at his waist. He gently stroked the hilt with his left hand, ready to draw it at any time and strike Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace!
This supreme weapon of destruction possesses destructive power that surpasses that of ordinary enlightened beings, capable of directly targeting the very essence of any living being!
The private tutor glanced at it and frowned slightly.
"Who is that person? I sensed a very sharp blade aura emanating from him," Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace mused to himself.
Could it be that something has changed in the outside world again?
After the Great Emperor was gone, the Ancient God Emperor was gone too?
Although unable to go to the outside world, Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace could learn about the changes of the seventeenth century by observing the remnant souls of masters such as Yu Tianzun, Ming Huang, and Nan Di Zhuque. He was not completely ignorant of the outside world.
Moreover, the Taoist teachings of the Supreme Emperor were originally transmitted by him.
Those who entered at the same time included the ancient god Emperor Taichu, the three great ancient god kings, and others.
Therefore, he recognized Shujun at a glance.
Qin Mu, Kaihuang, Yue Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, Yun Tianzun, and Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace were also recognized.
However, neither the God-King Langwan nor the Primordial Saint had any recollection of her, nor did the remnant souls recognize her.
Yuan Sheng sensed that the creator of the Langwan God-King lineage might be a newly risen god-king after the collapse of the original creator lineage.
As for the eggshell of Tai Shi, even without anyone's explanation, Yuan Sheng understood that it must be Tai Shi, one of the five ancient gods, still being conceived.
Only Cao Ya was someone Yuan Sheng couldn't find any relevant clues about, and he could only sense the Dao of the sword, as well as a restrained part of the death intent, which made him deeply wary.
Apart from that, Cao Ya concealed his other powers, so much so that even Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace could not sense them.
"One is a swordsman, and the other is a sword master. Only two Daoists. It's alright, nothing to fear." Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace felt a little relieved.
Cao Ya's swordsmanship and Kaihuang swordsmanship are not yet at their peak.
It's only the thirty-seventh level of the Dao Realm.
Cao Ya possesses a divine blade, a deadly weapon more ferocious than any other weapon in the world. With the increasing power of his blade techniques, he is basically comparable to the thirty-eighth level of the Dao of the Blade.
However, there is still a distance between it and the Dao Fruit of the Thirty-Nine Heavens.
As for the other group of experts, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace didn't care much.
He is not even an enlightened being, so what is there to worry about?
So, when he saw Yun Tianzun enter, he smiled, holding a pointer in his hand, with an expression that seemed to invite the enemy into a trap.
"Snap!" After Yun Tianzun pushed open the door, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the private school, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace raised his teaching whip and lashed it out.
For some reason, the fluctuation of divine sense on Yun Tianzun's body vanished in an instant. He stood there blankly, his palm outstretched, and was tapped by Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace. Then, like everyone else, he sat down in the private school. Books appeared out of thin air, and he read them with a serious expression, reciting them aloud as if he had memorized them a thousand times.
The assembled heroes were terrified. What kind of tactic was this?
You must know that Yun Tianzun's true form is that of an enlightened being. Even if his clones are not powerful enough, his essence remains. So why was he so easily defeated?
Even Qin Mu felt a chill run down his spine.
What strange abilities does Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace possess?
Kaihuang frowned, his fingers stroking the Wuyou Sword, feeling an urge to draw it.
But when he turned his head, he saw that Cao Yatian was still calm and did not seem to be afraid.
"You all come at him together and test his supernatural powers to see if you can break free," Cao Ya said softly.
With Cao Ya present, the heroes felt emboldened and resolved to test their skills against the prehistoric enlightened beings.
So they set off together, swaggering into the private school, only to find that Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace was wielding his teaching whip. No matter how much they resisted, it was to no avail. When the whip fell, they were all dumbfounded, sitting there reciting scriptures.
Only Kaihuang, relying on his swordsmanship at the thirty-seventh level, managed to hold out for a while longer.
However, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace raised an eyebrow and his smile faded slightly.
Meanwhile, in a painting behind him, an old tree grows, with flowers in full bloom and plump fruit. Under the tree, a person sits on a rock, holding a book and flipping through it.
"Buzz..."
With a flash of light, the person speaking remained calm, gently stroking the Dao Fruit on the tree. The fruit swayed, releasing strange fluctuations that affected Kaihuang, suppressing his swordsmanship and leading to his capture.
So, Kaihuang, like everyone else, sat down and read.
Unfortunately, this time, Qin Mu lacked the Dao Leaf of Taiyi, making it impossible for him to condense his Dao Heart. Furthermore, there was no one outside the private school to shoot arrows at the Dao Fruit in the painting and help him break through the impasse.
It should be known that Taiyi is extremely powerful, comparable to the young master of the Mi Luo Palace. Even if it is just a Dao Leaf, it is a rare treasure in the world, capable of protecting one's true self under the Dao techniques of a powerful being like Yuan Sheng.
Therefore, Qin Mu, Yue Tianzun, and Shu Jun, who were only at the Heavenly Venerable level and had not yet attained enlightenment, naturally could not resist the power of the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace when he used the power of the Dao Fruit.
Kaihuang's swordsmanship was also two levels below.
Outside the private school, things might be alright, since Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace wasn't in good condition. But once inside, in his home turf, enveloped by the Great Dao, a pure contest of Daoist comprehension would be beyond his capabilities.
A person who can cultivate to the thirty-ninth level of the Dao Realm and condense the Dao Fruit must have exceptional talent and comprehension, absolutely unparalleled throughout history!
This should not be underestimated!
Cao Ya was well aware of Yuan Sheng's background, and with the divine blade in hand and his own profound and powerful laws, he had the confidence to let others experience the ferocious power of Yuan Sheng's Daoist arts in the Mi Luo Palace.
Of course, after the heroes were suppressed, the figures in the painting became much more lively and began to try to step down from the painting.
"slow!"
Cao Ya suddenly spoke, drawing his divine blade with his left hand. A smile played on his lips as he said, "Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, tell me, is your Dao Fruit more resilient, or is my divine blade sharper?"
