"This is... the Dao fluctuations of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan?!"
"Who is he fighting with? How did it come to this!"
"This is a primordial spirit at the Dao Integration level!"
Deep within the Miao region, numerous Nascent Soul experts spanning over a million miles were suddenly startled. They immediately realized that even this sparsely populated Miao region might not be safe under the great calamity.
I must find another place to live in seclusion!
Neither Cao Ya nor Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan cared about the thoughts of these Nascent Soul experts or the two sides in the struggle.
Rumble...
A myriad of azure flames fell from the sky, some resembling divine swords, others celestial blades, and still others immortal hammers, endless and connected by magical arrays, densely packed, a sea of emerald green stretching as far as the eye could see.
Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan smiled. This move wasn't his most powerful spell, but could a primordial spirit avatar withstand it without relying on the Illusionary God Treasure?
Hey, unless Cao Ya also obtains and refines a Mountain and River Cauldron like Jiao Fei did... I can't do anything about the Mountain and River Cauldron's Void Teleportation Technique unless I'm careful...
Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan thought calmly that there were nine Mountain and River Cauldrons in total, all of which were in the Heavenly River Sword Sect, although it was uncertain whether Cao Ya actually possessed one of them.
However, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was not afraid.
To be honest, even a Mountain and River Cauldron is no match for him; it's just that the Mountain and River Cauldron's innate supernatural powers are too extraordinary.
If all nine Mountain and River Cauldrons appeared together and merged into one, they would truly display the power of the Pure Yang Treasure...
Well, then his Dao-merging primordial spirit must temporarily avoid his sharp edge.
Faced with the Ghost Ancestor's spell, Cao Ya's expression turned solemn.
In terms of the immortal cultivation system of the [Immortal Gourd] universe alone, his cultivation level is ultimately inferior to that of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan by one major realm.
Swordsmanship alone is definitely not enough to block it...
Cao Ya pondered for a moment, then gripped his sword in his right hand and slashed down fiercely. The sword light was sharp and pierced through the clouds.
At the same time, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and the two Taoist techniques he created revealed their divine power, with a vague outline of the Great Dao emerging, forcefully resisting the Great Dao of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:
"This is... you've got some skills, kid. You've actually set your sights on these two major roads. Aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed by them?"
Clearly, as a master of the Dao Integration level, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan had a thorough understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos, especially the Great Dao represented by the Forty-Eight Innate Pure Yang Treasures.
"That's none of Ghost Ancestor's concern." Cao Ya chuckled, raised his hand and pointed, and two illusory and incomplete Great Daos intertwined, actually defending against Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan's attack.
"Almost complete?" Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan asked in surprise.
In the past, he also set his sights on the top-tier paths symbolized by the four gates and five mirrors. Apart from those that had already been occupied, he tried all the remaining paths, but unfortunately, he lacked the foundation to create the corresponding methods or find the relevant cultivation secrets. With no other choice, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan had to settle for second best and seek other paths to advance.
People in his situation are numerous, not to mention the vast universe, even within the Seven Phoenix Realms.
On the contrary, the peak beings who had cultivated immortal primordial spirits, such as Lao Qiu, Doufa Shengzu Shi, Tai Xuan Zhangren, Guangcheng Daoren, Shi Tuo, and Long Jia, did not specifically pursue the Dao of the Four Gates and Five Mirrors at the realm of primordial spirit merging with the Dao.
Tianhuang'er is special because she is the reincarnation of the primordial spirit of the Tianhuang Treasure Mirror, one of the Four Gates and Five Mirrors.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sword light slashed down, dazzling and radiant with flowing precious light.
At this moment, Cao Ya was like a valiant god, exuding an extremely powerful aura that was terrifying beyond measure.
Even primordial spirit incarnations, or ordinary primordial spirit avatars, tremble before him; it is an aura that seems irresistible.
Although Cao Ya did not regain much of his power, thanks to his many special insights into the Great Dao, his cultivation in the immortal system of this universe also made rapid progress, reaching an extremely profound level.
Of course, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was at the Dao Integration level, and no matter how strong Cao Ya was, he could not possibly cross such a large realm to fight against him.
The merging with the Dao means merging with a great Dao, which is vastly different from the previous two levels of the Primordial Spirit realm.
Moreover, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was at the peak of the Dao Integration Primordial Spirit realm!
If it were a normal Dao Integration level cultivator, Cao Ya could try to reverse the situation.
However, it would definitely not work if Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan were to appear in person.
Unless Cao Ya is determined to reclaim all the powers he has stored away!
But it's clearly not the right time yet!
Whew~~~
With a flick of his hand, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan unleashed a thunderous roar, erasing Cao Ya's boundless sword light.
Xu Wan lifted the heavy object with ease, showing no sign of strain whatsoever.
However, Cao Ya seized the opportunity and tore through the void, carrying the Sea-Slaying Sword, and disappeared without a trace.
"The Heavenly River Sword Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the third to face the calamity." Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan stared at the vanishing void rift for a while, then sighed softly.
“Wuzhuang Temple has Yuanqi Daoren and Jiedun Daoren, Taibai Sword Sect has Zhong Shenxiu and Qiao Kui, and Tianhe Sword Sect, in addition to Guo Xiaoshan and Su Xiang, also has an unexpected character like Cao Ya, not to mention Jiao Fei, that yellow-faced ‘Duobao Tongzi’.”
"Compared to these sects that have faced calamity, the other major sects in the Seven Phoenix Realms today, whether they are Taoist, Buddhist, demonic, or even unorthodox sects, are far inferior."
"Hey, that's true. Without some strength, how can one be worthy of being a challenger?"
"Those seven-headed phoenixes look down on ordinary things."
After pondering for a while, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan suddenly smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted loudly. The giant city below flew up in one go, and at the same time, the throne beneath him fell down.
Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan formed a hand seal, and countless talismans rained down in an instant.
The Weiyang Palace is a combination of several magical treasures that he has refined throughout his life. He wants to break through to the level of the Illusion God, open up a small world, become a treasure of the cave heaven, and rely on it to escape the Seven Phoenix Realm and roam freely in the outer star river. It is related to his future plans, so the Ghost Ancestor cannot help but pay attention to it.
Whew~~~
It seemed that because the Ghost Ancestor had made a big fuss, the Xihuang Red Sun in the sky sensed it and cast down a golden light that hovered above the giant city. It seemed that it had not found the Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, and after circling a few times, it returned to the sky.
However, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was not at all relaxed. His face was solemn, and he ignored the Xihuang Red Sun in the sky, focusing instead on refining the magic weapon in his hand.
******
******
Although Cao Ya was unaware of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan's next move, since he had not sensed Ghost Ancestor pursuing him, he thought about it and, considering the special nature of that giant city, he understood.
"I'm afraid Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan is still refining the Weiyang Palace and doesn't have time to fight me. He just happened to be there and made a casual move earlier."
"I really hope that Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan will successfully complete the Weiyang Palace ritual and advance to the level of Illusion God."
"In this way, when Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan breaks free from the shackles of the Seven Phoenix Realm after some time, he, as a Daoist Ancestor-level being who has achieved the Dao and attained the Primordial Spirit, will definitely attract more of the Seven Phoenixes' attention."
"With him taking the fall, my chances of breaking through the barrier will definitely increase greatly!"
Cao Ya thought to himself that on this point, he and Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan were on the same page.
It seems that the Ghost Ancestor would be more than happy for Cao Ya to take the blame for him.
