Cao Ya said leisurely, "Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace, let your Dao Fruit test my divine blade."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace's expression darkened.
How could a being of Yuan Sheng's stature not see the extraordinary nature of that divine blade?!
In prehistoric times, even someone at the fortieth level of the Dao Realm would have no chance of controlling such an item.
Only those who are at least sons of the Miro Palace, or figures like the World Tree or the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, are qualified.
Moreover, what Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace feared even more was the faint aura of death emanating from Cao Ya's body.
"The Great Dao of Returning to the Void? No! The Ancient Gods of Returning to the Void were all female. After merging, they became Goddesses of Returning to the Void, who had the potential to attain the Dao. So, you are the offspring of the Goddess of Returning to the Void?"
Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace spoke, trying to figure out Cao Ya's background.
The feeling of death in heaven and earth was similar to that of the Goddess of Returning to the Void in the ancient times, or even more so.
Only the second young master, who betrayed the Miro Palace, could surpass him!
Cao Ya chuckled and said, "No, you're overthinking it. I have absolutely no connection with Guixu."
"This is my Great Dao, not the Law of Returning to Nothingness."
Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace pondered, and did not believe that such a person with great supernatural powers would lie.
At least based on his observation, the one-armed man outside didn't seem to be lying.
Immediately, he became even more wary.
It should be understood that the innately sacred Goddess of Guixu was conceived by the Great Dao of Guixu and was born extraordinary. Even with such a background, very few of them ultimately attained the Dao.
Not to mention reaching the pinnacle.
Yuan Sheng believed that only the Second Young Master could surpass the one-armed man.
However, for human cultivators who have acquired their skills, relying solely on themselves to gradually grow stronger, from weak to powerful, this process is obviously many times more difficult than the enlightenment of the ancient gods of the Void.
"Such a ruthless character has appeared in the 17th century..."
Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace felt tense, sensing a sense of crisis.
Cao Ya observed from outside the window that the private tutor was not the true essence of the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, but merely an illusion.
That painting is the key.
The old tree in the painting is the Dao tree, with a Dao flower and a Dao fruit, and the sound of reading is that of the Primordial Sage.
Cao Ya knew that the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace actually had more than just one flower and one fruit.
There is also a hidden Dao Fruit, which can be used as a trump card.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the private tutor exclaimed in surprise, discovering that the people he had suppressed, especially Kaihuang, Lingtianzun, and Qin Mu, were actually struggling, their mysterious energy surging, indicating that they had not been completely sealed and were still resisting.
Seeing this, Cao Ya stopped rushing to make a move and calmly watched.
Immediately, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace frowned and said coldly, "You're using me as a stepping stone for them?"
Cao Ya smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are a being who attained the Dao in prehistoric times. It is quite reasonable for you to come to the later world and shine brightly."
"You exchanged energy, which allowed you to sneak over, but shortened your lifespan by seventeen centuries."
At this point, Cao Ya's eyes turned cold as he said, "I will personally kill those who have committed heinous crimes!"
Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace sneered and said, "When I was at my peak, I could easily crush dozens of trash like you with one hand!"

"They won't even have the right to resist!"
The scholar in the painting is flipping through books at great speed, his soft murmurs echoing and enveloping the private school, suppressing the crowd.
Especially the newcomers, such as Kaihuang, Qin Mu, Ling Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, Langwan Shenwang, Taishi, Shujun, and Yun Tianzun.
"Buzzing..."
The Dao Fruit trembled slightly, the Dao Flower swayed, and the rosy glow fell. Different Daos, with their unique rhythms, spread out, covering the heroes, suppressing their bodies and souls, imprisoning their magical power, and confining the Daos, making it impossible for them to break free.
Different fundamental principles are difficult to categorize as superior or inferior to each other.
However, different people have different levels of understanding.
The most obvious example is that Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace is at the 39th level of the Dao Realm, and his laws naturally surpass those of Kaihuang's 37th level of the Sword Dao.
Of course, Kaihuang, Qin Mu, and Ling Tianzun each have their own unique characteristics.
Therefore, even with the suppression of the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, they were still trying to regain their Dao Heart and do their best to resist the descending radiance of the Great Dao.
The Moon Celestial Venerable and the Langwan Divine King, on the other hand, performed somewhat worse.
However, he was still much better than Emperor Zhuque of the South, Emperor Ming, and others.
Because there were quite a few Celestial Venerables entering, and the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace was not at his peak, he was busy suppressing the powerful figures and had no time to spare. He could only spare a small amount of energy to guard against Cao Ya.
Cao Ya remained calm and watched the group's struggle.
He eagerly anticipated that, with the combined strength of the heroes, he could break free and confront the top Dao achievers. This would be of great help to these experts, giving them hope of understanding the path to enlightenment and reaching the pinnacle.
This is different from his coercion.
Because they were on the same side, he was quite familiar with some of them, and he even watched Qin Mu grow up.
Even when they clashed, Cao Ya activated the profound mysteries of various laws, unleashing a power that swept across the heavens and earth, intimidating both heaven and earth.
However, the crowd found it difficult to feel any sense of crisis and did not believe that Cao Yazhen would be of any harm to them.
And indeed, that's not the case.
They're not enemies, so how could they possibly harbor murderous intent?
This resulted in them feeling little pressure, even though Cao Ya was extremely strong and possessed the strength of a top-tier Dao Realm cultivator.
Although aware of the threats posed by the major prehistoric powers, the 17th century, in which they lived, was always at risk of invasion.
However, without a specific target, the sense of crisis is somewhat lacking.
Now, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace is the enlightened being that Cao Ya believes can help everyone.
Therefore, Cao Ya did not rush to make a move. He simply watched as everyone entered. Suppressed by the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, their magical power was dormant, and their Great Dao seemed to have withered, making it impossible to activate them at all.
This is a special technique of Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace, a competition of Dao Realm Comprehension. With his level of attainment, he naturally leads the pack.
It's not that Qin Mu, Kaihuang, Ling Tianzun, and Yue Tianzun are inferior to Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace in terms of aptitude and comprehension.
In fact, they are no worse than Yuan Sheng, and may even be better!
People like Ling Tianzun and Qin Mu are among the most talented in the seventeen cosmic eras, ranking among the top.
However, Yuan Sheng has cultivated for more than one cosmic era, exceeding hundreds of billions or trillions of years.
Over such a long period of time, Yuan Sheng was no ordinary person. In terms of innate talent and comprehension, he was a peerless being in the world. How could his foundation be weak and inferior to others?
Of course, the losses from the seventeenth century of smuggling, the decline in power, and the bottleneck in the comprehension of Daoist techniques, without finding a way to break through the impasse, will cause even the most extraordinary talents to encounter difficulties that are hard to overcome.
But Cao Ya felt that this was just right, as it could suppress the powerful figures without making the overall situation one-sided.
"Hmm, if Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace were at his peak, even if I exerted all my strength, it would be hard to say whether I could defeat him." Cao Ya pondered. Yuan Sheng's Dao Fruit relies entirely on himself, and there are no hidden dangers!
The Supreme Emperor's Dao Realm is at the 39th level, which is far inferior to that of the Primordial Saint.
This is why Yun Tianzun was unable to resist and was directly lost in the private school.
Of course, the Yun Tianzun who appeared here was only a divided soul, not the original body, and did not possess the strongest divine sense. This point is also very important.
"I wonder who among them will break free first?" Cao Ya observed.
He favored Ling Tianzun the most, followed by Qin Mu and Kaihuang, then Yue Tianzun, Yun Tianzun, Tai Shi, and finally Shu Jun and Lang Wan Shenwang.
Even among those who are Celestial Venerables, there are differences in their individual strengths.
Ling Tianzun's talent is unparalleled throughout history. His research into the unbreakable supernatural power that allows one to travel through the past and future is enough to prove that even ordinary celestial beings can hardly match Ling Tianzun's abilities.
Qin Mu was indeed extremely strong, but his path was also quite unique. He had to traverse through countless eras, experience the tribulations of birth and death, undergo baptism and purification, and witness it firsthand before he could achieve enlightenment and reach perfection.
Such training is far too dangerous.
Even those who have attained enlightenment dare not force their way into the great calamity of birth and death in the universe, and rack their brains to sneak across.
Cao Ya thought to himself, "I'll let Mu'er grow to the fortieth level of the Dao Realm before sending him to perfection."
Every practitioner, though guided by the most fundamental and suitable principles of the Great Dao, can also comprehend and attempt to attain enlightenment through other laws if they possess sufficient understanding.
Kaihuang only focused on the way of the sword and did not divert his energy to other paths.
Qin Mu, however, was different; the laws he had comprehended were so numerous that they couldn't be counted on both hands.
If he possessed the Dao Leaf gifted by Taiyi, perhaps he wouldn't need others to share the power of the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace. He could struggle, forcibly leave the private school, and break free from control.
Although Taiyi Daoye is no longer here, the combined forces of the heroes are all challenging the Dao principles of Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace.
This can be seen from the dark and gloomy expression on the face of the private tutor.
Yuan Sheng glanced at Cao Ya and noticed that this Daoist of the seventeenth century was standing outside the window, his expression calm, watching the scene inside the private school with great composure.
His expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
"You look down on me? You think I can't even control a bunch of unenlightened fools?"
"Only one is at the thirty-seventh level of swordsmanship; the others aren't even at the thirty-sixth level!"
"What a contemptuous attitude."
Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace chuckled coldly. He would show this person what the supernatural power of the thirty-ninth level of the Dao Realm was like!
"Once I control these people, and they all recite scriptures and offer their mental power to increase my strength and help me escape this predicament and return to my peak... Hehe, at that time, even the ancient god Taiyi, with his extraordinary background, will not be able to suppress me!"
Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace felt a burning desire in his heart; after billions of years, he finally saw hope of regaining his freedom.
He glanced at Cao Ya at the window and secretly prayed that the man would stay outside a little longer.
That powerful sword technique, originally at the thirty-seventh level, doubled in power with the aid of the divine sword, even making Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace feel troubled.
Not to mention, there was that faint, elusive aura of death, like the return to nothingness and the attainment of enlightenment.
Apart from the second young master of the Mi Luo Palace, Yuan Sheng does not believe that anyone can surpass that one-armed man on this path!
Therefore, Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace was very wary.
He dared not activate all the laws, fearing that he would provoke the one-armed man to draw his sword prematurely and ruin his plans.
“I am not a being born in the sixteenth era, but rather in the fourteenth era. In the fourteenth and fifteenth eras, I cultivated to the thirty-ninth level of the Dao Realm and condensed the Dao Fruit.”
"During the Sixteenth Era, the Dao Flower also blossomed on the Third Law."
"It's just that the sixteenth century was too short and perished early, without having a chance to come to fruition."
"Two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower are enough to prove my strength, which is almost at the Dao Realm level of the fortieth level."
"In the past, we were restricted by heaven and earth and the universe. Now, well, these remnant souls recite my scriptures, filling the universe and filling the infinite order of the Great Dao. Now, the overall situation is much better."
Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace murmured to himself.
Behind him, there was a painting with a Taoist tree, its flowers in full bloom and its fruits solidified. The scholar under the tree seemed to sense the danger and began to flip through the pages rapidly, with soft reading sounds constantly rising and falling.
"Splash splash~~"
The ancient tree swayed, its flowers fluttered, and its fruits glowed with divine light, radiating a powerful and profound aura that enveloped the assembled heroes, suppressing their magical power and principles, and guiding them to recite ancient scriptures.
The phantom that appeared inside the private school was the schoolteacher, holding a pointer, looking at Cao Ya with some hesitation.
He worried that if he brandished the pointer, he would anger the man and be attacked by the divine sword.
At that very moment—
"Buzzing..."
The profound laws permeated Qin Mu's body as he gradually regained his Dao heart in order to fight against the Yuan Sheng of the Mi Luo Palace.
Sweat rolled down his forehead; he could barely bear it.
At the same time, Ling Tianzun's extraordinary abilities were also manifesting, resisting that Dao Fruit.
The swordsmanship of the Kaihuang era was even more shrewd and sharp, piercing the sky!
The divine sense of the Cloud Celestial Venerable, the spatial way of the Moon Celestial Venerable, and the Great Dao of the Primordial Beginning were all roaring and disturbing the void, causing the private school to shake as if it were about to collapse.
At that moment, the scholar in the painting stood up, sweat dripping from his forehead, his face contorted, and he roared suddenly. The Dao tree swayed, and a Dao fruit appeared behind it.
Under pressure from the crowd, Yuan Sheng of Mi Luo Palace had no choice but to go all out. His two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower all displayed their power. The three Dao Laws he had comprehended at an extremely deep level seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth. The supreme power born from the birth and death of the hazy world swept through the entire private school. Although it was confined to a corner, it showed an even stronger destructive power, enough to collapse the void of heaven and earth!
Cao Ya stroked the divine blade, his brows furrowing slightly.
He was considering whether or not to make a move at this moment.
If it gets too late, their safety might be compromised.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that we have reached a critical point, and all parties are affected.
Suddenly, two more phantoms emerged from the painting, detached themselves, and transformed into identical schoolteachers, each holding a pointer, which they brandished and struck at the crowd.
Cao Ya raised an eyebrow and no longer hesitated.
"boom!
!
The divine blade slashed out, its blade light shining brightly, yet it carried the deathly intent of heaven and earth, ending all things. It directly shattered the private school, and even the ancestral hall of Pixiang seemed unable to bear it, as if it were about to wither away.
The scholar in the painting is crying out in mourning, but the private school is still broken in two, which is a huge trauma for him.
His billions of years of effort have been destroyed in an instant today.
The three phantom figures were instantly annihilated by Cao Ya's sword light.
With the divine blade empowered and the deathly intent of heaven and earth amplified, Cao Ya's swordsmanship was simply terrifying beyond measure. Even those at the fortieth level of the Dao realm would change color and dare not underestimate him.
With the private school gone and the three great rules of the Dao dismantled by Cao Ya, everyone became clear-headed.
Yu Tianzun, Nan Di Zhuque, Minghuang, and others looked at each other in disbelief, as they had been under attack for too long and had not yet reacted.
"What...what's going on?"
