“Cao Ya, he just escaped his predicament, and now he’s back again.”
"Hey, all that effort for nothing."
The primordial spirits chuckled. For some reason, seeing Cao Ya forced to return to the Seven Phoenix Realm by Li Huang's pressure, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Jiao Fei and others, as well as several primordial spirits including Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, escaped tribulation, which was acceptable since they did not have the Yang God Ranking mark on them.
However, Cao Ya, like them, was also on the list. As a result, Cao Ya not only made great progress in his cultivation, leaping to the level of Dao Integration, but also refined the mark and was about to escape the tribulation and leave?!
While I was shocked, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and a little envious.
Guo Songyang and his two junior brothers, Luo Gongyuan and Su Ganxiu, looked slightly somber.
Deep down, they didn't want to see Cao Ya come back.
Now that you have attained the Dao, why not leave the Seven Phoenix Realm and go far away? Why come back to be a prisoner?
Although Li Huang made generous promises, in reality, given Cao Ya's status, he could still obtain these things by following the Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Techniques.
If Cao Ya escapes the tribulation, he will have many more years to cultivate. What if he makes further progress during this time?
The three of them believed that with Cao Ya's comprehension of the top-tier secret techniques he had created, he would not have wasted thousands of years and would have gained some understanding.
These seven phoenixes have actually set their sights on Cao Ya... Ha, the people of the Tianhe Sword Sect are really having a run of bad luck...
Qiao Kui thought to himself, deciding to merely observe from the sidelines and not interfere.
Controlled by the Yang God Ranking, if he dares to interfere, he'll probably die immediately!
While outwardly complying while inwardly defying might not bother Seven Phoenix, openly rebelling would easily provoke Seven Phoenix's murderous intent.
Didn't you see that Guo Songyang, Luo Gongyuan, and Su Ganxiu, these three Nascent Soul masters from the Tianhe Sword Sect, didn't dare to make any rash moves?!
The twenty-six patriarchs on the other side also had different expressions, some gloating, some sighing with sorrow.
However, it is clear that the opinions of others will not affect Cao Ya's own choice.
Outside the Seven Phoenix Realm, in the starry sky, millions of miles were shattered. At the same time, countless spatial turbulences were rampaging, and a hidden great force was pressing down, almost causing Cao Ya's physical body to collapse.
Many primordial spirits watched and secretly shook their heads.
"open!"
Suddenly, Cao Ya let out a clear shout, and his power seemed to increase many times over in an instant.
"System space, I want to reclaim all the stored power!" Cao Ya roared inwardly.
Suddenly, boundless divine power surged forth, and the strength of his physical body and primordial spirit instantly increased several times over.
Sizzle~~
Lightning bolted through the sky, dense and numerous, stretching for millions of miles and sweeping across the starry sky.
Flames, divine winds, light, darkness, divine water, and countless other powers were unleashed by Cao Ya at this moment. In the instantaneous stunned gazes of all the primordial spirits, he ruthlessly broke through the seal of the Phoenix-Leaving Dao Technique, shattered the millions of miles of starry sky, and escaped to safety.
"Lord Li Huang, I have won!" Cao Ya said loudly, withdrawing his power and letting it surge only within his body.
In a daze, he actually had the possibility of breaking through the Dao Integration Realm to prove the Pure Yang Realm?!
However, the rules of the universe shifted and immediately suppressed it.
Proving one's path through force is not a rule of the [Immortal Gourd] universe and is not permitted.
Because among the three thousand innate great paths, there is not a single one called "the path of strength".
On the other side of the starry sky, Li Huang seemed to be stunned for a moment. She did not expect Cao Ya to have such a trump card. It was quite unexpected.
"I didn't realize that Cao Ya, the foundation you've accumulated in the Great Sun Phoenix Palace over the past few centuries is beyond imagination. You're probably comparable to an ordinary Pure Yang Primordial Spirit now, aren't you? Heh, yes, you've won, Cao Ya, you're free!" Li Huang laughed, showing little regret or disappointment.
Upon hearing this, all the primordial spirits came to their senses, looked at Cao Ya, and were deeply moved.
"What was that power just now? Wind, fire, thunder, lightning, light, darkness—weren't those innate Daos already taken? How could there be room left for Cao Ya?!"
"No! His abilities are not manifestations of the Dao, but rather a very special condition that I cannot explain."
"I really don't know how Cao Ya cultivated to this level?!"
"He appears to have attained the Dao, but in reality, he's essentially a pure Yang primordial spirit!!!"
...
Many primordial spirits sighed in amazement.
The primordial spirits at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, such as Qiao Kui, Feng Hou, Luo Zu, Zhu Ri, and Tai Yin, also had their pupils shrink and their eyes flicker.
Can they replicate Cao Ya's path?
Guo Songyang, Luo Gongyuan, and Su Ganxiu suddenly burst into laughter.
If I can't understand why Cao Ya is so powerful, then I'll stop thinking about it.
All they need to know is that Cao Ya succeeded. Not only did he achieve Dao attainment today, but he also completely escaped the Seven Phoenix Realm and gained the most carefree freedom.
This is a great joy for the Tianhe Sword Sect!
Moreover, Cao Ya, with his Dao-merging body, is already on par with Chunyang, which greatly enhances the foundation of the Tianhe Sword Sect.
It should be noted that, apart from Cao Ya, the Tianhe Sword Sect currently only possesses two Dao Integration Primordial Spirits, and has yet to produce a Pure Yang one.
Inside the starry sky, Jiao Fei and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then became curious about the source of Cao Ya's power.
As for Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, he clicked his tongue in amazement. Cao Ya's performance made him feel as if he were seeing the same magic-wielding champion from back then.
"The Tianhe Sword Sect is really lucky! Not only did they inherit the mantle of Dou Fasheng, but they even have a little 'Dou Fasheng' among their disciples! Why didn't our ancestor have such a remarkable person among his disciples?" Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was extremely envious.
Seeing that Li Huang had no intention of continuing to attack, and seemed to truly be keeping her promise, Cao Ya felt relieved and smiled:
"Lord Li Huang, I shall take my leave now."
After speaking, Cao Ya prepared to leave.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you leave sooner? Are you waiting for Xi Huang to give the order for the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirits in the Great Sun Xi Huang Palace to come and capture you?" Cao Ya transmitted his voice to remind Jiao Fei and the others as he transformed into a beam of light.
He naturally discovered that Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal, which was of the Illusion God level.
"Uncle-Master, shall we..." Jiao Fei called out to the Fifth Sister of the Mountain and River Cauldron in his heart while speaking to Cao Ya, as if to invite her.
"No! You have your own opportunities, and I have my own business. It's not appropriate for us to travel together. Anyway, with the Mountain and River Cauldron in hand, and all of you at the Nascent Soul level, your lives are not in danger," Cao Ya said, shaking his head.
The main reason is that he is at the Dao Integration level, and what he is about to do is far too dangerous for Jiao Fei and the others at present.
Jiao Fei and the others were somewhat disappointed, but they understood the situation. Suddenly, a large cauldron appeared, emitting a unique Daoist aura, which enveloped the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal. With a whoosh, the Illusionary God Seal disappeared without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.
On the other side, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, along with several primordial spirits who had escaped the tribulation, fled. Having watched the good show, they were satisfied and no longer lingered there.
Li Huang had been pondering for a moment, but upon seeing this scene, she suddenly smiled, her divine sense spreading out as if she had given some kind of command.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Suddenly, several streaks of light flew out from within the Great Sun Phoenix Palace, all possessing the power of the Dao Integration level.
They launched an attack on those who had escaped the calamity!
