Holding the high-end cat food purchased online, Shen Yuan was preparing to mix some spiritual liquid and spiritual plants according to the method of refining spiritual beast pills to help Bai Xue improve her nutrition.
It has been several months since he got home, but the child hasn't grown even though he eats snacks every day. Shen Yuan feels like an old father who is worried about his child's health.
But just a moment ago, Shen Yuan seemed to hear a whisper as thin as a mosquito's hum.
“Could it be the thoughts of all living beings brought about by the seed of the god-driving magical power again?”
"But I remembered that I blocked those voices. Why did they suddenly appear again?"
Shen Yuan scratched his head in confusion and continued to mix the cat food in the bowl.
Far away in the ancestral hall of Rongcheng Dayutian, Patriarch Gong looked at the tablet at the top of the many tablets with a puzzled look.
He clearly remembered that in the eighth year of Dayin, the main sect he had been worshipping suddenly lost contact, and even the names of the ancestors of all generations were erased on the plaques.
He even clearly remembered the existence of the main sect and all the senior brothers and sisters with whom he had interacted, but he had forgotten the name of the sect.
This made Patriarch Gong extremely frightened, and he wanted to find the trace of the main sect.
However, in the hundreds of years after the opening of the Heaven and Earth Connection, he had not received any information related to it.
In the end, he could only send a message to the disciples of Laojun Mountain to find the storage ring before he fell asleep, hoping to determine the whereabouts of the main sect through the Hutian magical power inherited from the main sect.
After ten thousand years, he finally got the news from the main sect again. When he prayed to the ancestors of the main sect, the tablets with their names erased still did not answer him.
Only the tablet of the founder of the sect at the top, which had always served as a symbol, suddenly emitted a faint glow.
"The founder of the sect? Didn't he ascend to the upper realms and become an immortal a long time ago?
I remember that in all the grand sacrifices held by the main sect throughout the ages, the founder of the sect never responded, let alone the sacrifices made by a mere abandoned disciple of the sect like me.
Is there something wrong?"
The confusion in Patriarch Gong's heart grew deeper and deeper.
He suddenly looked at Mo Li who was standing beside him with a fearful expression, and said in a low voice:
"Where did you get this ring? And how do you know that I'm looking for this kind of storage ring?
Tell me everything you know!"
Mo Li forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart. He had seen how Patriarch Gong suppressed the cave formation with a wave of his hand, and how he casually offered sacrifices to the ancestors of other sects in the Patriarch Hall.
Even though he knew that Patriarch Gong was a man who never followed the rules, this situation still made him sweat profusely.
Now that Patriarch Gong was questioning him, he could only speak respectfully and honestly:
"This storage ring was sold by a distinguished guest named Shen in Yunfu Market. There were thirteen storage rings in total that were sold to the sect by that distinguished guest.
I came to find the ancestor because I was guided by the ancient Langhuan Blessed Land."
"Shen? Ancient Book Immortal?"
Patriarch Gong's voice subconsciously increased by several decibels, and his pupils subconsciously trembled slightly.
"The Supreme Daoist mentioned in the sect's prophecy also has the surname Shen. Could it be that Supreme Daoist Brother?"
"No! The rumor in the sect that the Supreme Daoist Brother does not really exist is just to create momentum for the outside world's public opinion for the ancestor's prophecy.
This rumor was even confirmed by several True Brothers. Could it be that there was something wrong with what the True Brothers said? "
Patriarch Gong was a little bit unbelievable.
Even though he was expelled from the sect, he still firmly believed in the words of several true brothers, and regarded the outside world's fear of the Supreme Taoist appearing in the world as a joke.
But ten thousand years later, a person who looked like the Supreme Taoist suddenly appeared, which made him a little puzzled.
"Tell me the rest of the news!"
"After Mr. Shen sold his storage ring, he swept up all the auction items at the fair. Then, the monsters and mountain gods from Yunfu showed up, claiming that you were the murderer of the other mountain gods and wanted to take you away.
Finally, the distinguished guest showed up, causing all the gods, including the Lord of Yunfu Mountain, to kneel down and pay their respects, and address the distinguished guest as the Lord of God.
"The Lord of Yunfu Mountain? The God of Heaven? There is also the title of Lord God."
Patriarch Gong looked thoughtful and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Patriarch Gong waved his hand and directly tore open the space of the cave. He reached his right hand into the deep space crack and casually took out a large piece of dark black spiritual wood.
The black spiritual wood has a quiet aura and a bit of chilliness, and the patterns on it outline distorted faces like ghosts.
Mo Li only felt that the black spiritual wood looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize what it was.
At this moment, a roar of fear was heard outside the Patriarch's Hall.
"The ten thousand year old Xuanyin tree has withered!"
"Hurry up and send a spiritual plant master over to see what happened?"
"The heart of the wood? The heart of the Wanzai Xuanyin wood has been dug out? Who is so bold as to act wildly in my Rongcheng Dayutian!"
Mo Li listened to the shocked and angry voices of several real people, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looked at the huge black spiritual wood in Patriarch Gong's hand.
At this moment, Patriarch Gong was already cutting the spiritual wood into a tablet. A large amount of wood chips fell to the ground, making Mo Li want to pick up those chips one by one.
The Xuanyin Wood is the most precious treasure of the ghost cultivators. If a cultivator who has just died can obtain a piece of Xuanyin Wood to place his soul, there is a high probability that he will be able to transform into a ghost cultivator.
The Wanzai Xuanyin Wood needs to be nurtured in a special way for more than ten thousand years, which is enough to support a Lianxu Zhenjun to transform into the ghost way.
If it were before the opening of the Heaven and Earth Connection, treasures like the Wanzai Xuanyin Wood, which required time to nurture, were actually not rare. As long as the inheritance was long enough, it could be nurtured.
But after the destruction of the connection between heaven and earth, countless treasures were destroyed during the three thousand years of spiritual energy depletion, and ordinary sects simply did not have the spare energy to nurture the ten thousand year old Xuanyin wood. The remaining piece of the ten thousand year old Xuanyin wood in Rongcheng Dayutian can be said to be the treasure of Laojun Mountain.
However, this precious wooden heart was used casually by Patriarch Gong to make a memorial tablet.
The roars of the immortals from the outside world had gradually died down. Combined with what had happened in the Patriarch's Hall, they had obviously gradually realized that the Wanzai Xuanyin Mumu Heart had been taken away by Patriarch Gong.
All the real people pretended to be calm and returned to their respective positions.
It was not until this moment that Mo Li truly realized how transcendent Patriarch Gong’s status was in Rongcheng Dayutian.
The tablet quickly took shape in Patriarch Gong's hands, and there was no writing on the front of the tablet.
After Master Gong pondered for a while, he stretched out his index finger and slowly left four big words on it.
The Supreme Tao Son!
When his eyes fell upon those four words, Mo Li seemed to feel the invincibility that dominated the entire world.
Noticing Mo Li's gaze, a smile appeared on Patriarch Gong's skinny face.
"Boy, I think you have good talent. If you can go one step further and enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm sooner, maybe one day you can become a Taoist of Laojun Mountain and fight for that glimmer of hope."
Hearing what Grandmaster Gong said, Mo Li was not happy at all. Instead, he stared at the tablet in Grandmaster Gong's hand with a serious expression and said:
"May I ask, ancestor, if I become a Taoist from Laojun Mountain, how far can I be from him?"
"With him?"
Patriarch Gong laughed in silence: "It's a good thing for young people to have confidence, but if they set their sights too high, they will become unrealistic."
“The Rongcheng Dayutian behind Laojun Mountain is only one of the thirty-six cave heavens. You, the Taoist of Laojun Mountain, are only the pride of one of the thirty-six cave heavens.
There are ten great caves above the thirty-six caves. Saint sons and saint daughters have emerged in endlessly throughout the ages. Their Taoist traditions are all passed down from the upper realms and lead directly to the immortal path.
And below the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, there are still seventy-two blessed lands. Among them, there will inevitably be a few rising geniuses in each generation who are qualified to compete with the Taoist priests of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens.
Your talent seems extraordinary, but you are just one of the geniuses in this sect."
Mo Li was slightly stunned: "The ten great cave heaven saints, the thirty-six cave heaven Taoists, and the seventy-two blessed land geniuses.
Then where is this Supreme Daoist?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Gong smiled calmly and pointed his index finger at the sky.
"Supreme, of course, is above that blessed land!"
"No one in the entire era could match him. Countless Taoist disciples and saints dared not come out into the world, and even the famous immortal masters could only avoid him.
His existence is destined to dominate an era!"
Mo Li felt a surge of blood. He thought he was already one of the most outstanding geniuses of this era, but he never expected that he was still just sitting in a well and looking at the world.
But when he saw Mo Li's appearance, Patriarch Gong sighed secretly.
There are too many legends about the Supreme Taoist, including the story of how he killed the Holy Son of Jurong Huayang in the secret realm, how he participated in the demon rebellion, and how he had an affair with the Yin-Yang Hehuan Taoist demon girl. All these legends have become part of the world of cultivation.
Under the glamour, many people did not realize that they had never really seen the Supreme Taoist.
Those who had come into contact with the Supreme Taoist either died, disappeared, or just watched from afar. Even many fellow disciples in the main sect had never seen the Supreme Taoist who rose from a menial disciple to become the first in the true teachings.
Several true disciples who were familiar with Patriarch Gong once said that the so-called Supreme Son of Tao was most likely a hype created by the sect to fulfill the prediction of the ancestor, and that the so-called Supreme Son of Tao did not exist at all.
However, this statement has not been confirmed and is only circulated in a small circle within the sect.
Patriarch Gong firmly believed this, but the news about Yunfu Market made him a little hesitant.
If the distinguished guest who sold the storage ring was really the Supreme Daoist, then he was indeed qualified to inherit the Hutian Divine Power. And with the strength of the Supreme Daoist, it was not impossible for him to subdue several gods and obtain the position of the God Sovereign.
Feeling more and more confused, Patriarch Gong simply wrote the name of the Supreme Taoist on the tablet, preparing to use the main sect's sacrificial method to find out the truth.
If he is really Senior Brother Wushang Daozi, it would not be a loss for him to offer sacrifices to him.
Placing the tablet on the bottom layer of the tablets of the ancestors, Patriarch Gong lit nine sticks of incense again. The green smoke mixed with the thoughts of incense slowly floated into the void. Patriarch Gong performed the ritual again and knelt down again, saying:
"Disciple Gong Buhuo, please invite all the ancestors and Senior Brother Wushang Daozi!"
The next moment, a bright light lit up from both tablets at the same time.
The tablet of the founder of the sect at the top and the tablet of the Supreme Taoist at the bottom echo each other, and the light they illuminate is almost exactly the same.
Patriarch Gong could even feel that these two rankings ultimately pointed to a living being that remained in the Xuanhuang Realm.
It was like a bolt from the blue. Patriarch Gong's face changed drastically, and his expression was full of disbelief.
"Brother Wushang Daozi really exists, but why is he ranked as the founder of the sect?"
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying thought emerged in Patriarch Gong’s mind.
“The legend of Senior Brother Wushang Daozi has been circulating, but Senior Brother Daozi has not appeared in person. This is because the sect is deliberately covering up the truth.
Even the Supreme Daoist Brothers who spoke of the Supreme Daoist Brothers did not exist, and this was an intentional attempt to confuse people, because the main sect was afraid that the true identity of the Supreme Daoist Brothers would be exposed.
The fact that the main sect went to such great lengths to conceal the identity of Senior Brother Wushang Daozi is enough to prove that Senior Brother Daozi's true identity is extraordinary. Once exposed, it is likely to cause turmoil in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, and many hostile sects will take action against him.
"All this is because Senior Brother Wushang Daozi is the reincarnation of the founder of the sect!"
