Just as everything had settled down, a ruthless glint flashed in Yuan Zhexian's eyes. Without hesitation, he prepared to continue attacking Ying Yuan and Feng Mie beside him.
However, just as he was about to make his move, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor suddenly called out, "Immortal, stop for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian abruptly stopped. He looked at the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor with some confusion, wondering why the other party had called him back at this moment.
The moment the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor waved his hand, Yuan Zhexian's figure vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye, like lightning.
At the same time, Ying Yuan, Feng Mie, and all the powerful figures in the Myriad Spirits World also vanished without a trace in the same instant.
When they reappeared, Yuan Zhexian was surprised to find that he had actually arrived in the World of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Not only that, Ying Yuan, Feng Mie, and those powerful figures who were originally in the Myriad Spirits World of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also appeared here at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuan Clan's First Ancestor, Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, Fourth Ancestor, and other patriarchs also appeared in the Myriad Spirits World like ghosts.
Just then, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor suddenly looked up at the sky.
His voice was deep and powerful, resounding throughout the entire world of spirits: "You should have seen enough, shouldn't you!"
Before the words were finished, a figure radiating white light appeared before the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor in an instant, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
The figure was shrouded in dazzling light, obscuring its true appearance. Yet, the sacred aura emanating from it alone was enough to make one want to prostrate oneself in worship, as if it were a supreme being.
The moment this figure appeared, Yuan Zhexian's heart trembled, because he sensed a power from this figure that was exactly the same as the origin of the Heavenly Dao Forbidden Body.
"This is... the true form of the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World!" Yuan Zhexian exclaimed in disbelief.
Just then, the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World suddenly cupped its hands toward the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan and then uttered a majestic and awe-inspiring voice: "I! Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
The Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor simply gazed silently at the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World, without the slightest reaction.
After a while, he slowly spoke, "Let me ask you, are you aware of what those four people did?"
The Heavenly Dao of the myriad spirits world answered without hesitation: "I know."
The Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor then pressed on, asking, "Then why didn't you stop them?"
The Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World remained silent for a moment, then explained, "Fellow Daoist, you should understand that every world has a Heavenly Dao that is responsible for managing and operating that world."
"According to the rules and systems of Heaven, I do not have the authority to fully interfere in the affairs of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
The Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World continued, "Therefore, I am powerless to help with matters outside the Myriad Spirits World."
The Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan was clearly not satisfied with this answer, and his voice became even more stern: "Then why don't you stop their behavior in the myriad spirit worlds under your jurisdiction? Are you just going to stand by and watch them cause chaos in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
Then the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World continued, "Although in the Myriad Spirits World, I can suppress or even kill those four people with a mere wave of my hand."
"But there are some reasons for this."
"First of all, they are not heinous villains in the world of spirits, and they have not caused chaos or slaughtered any living beings in the world of spirits."
"Secondly, matters concerning the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will be handled by the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
The Heavenly Dao then explained, "Therefore, according to the rules and regulations of the Heavenly Dao, they have not violated the rules, so I naturally cannot punish them."
"As for why the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths did not intervene, I have no idea."
Upon hearing this, the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan suddenly smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that he was quite satisfied with what the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World had said.
Immediately afterwards, the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan suddenly transmitted his divine sense to the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World.
Since it was a transmission of consciousness, others naturally could not know the content.
However, right after the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor transmitted his voice, the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World trembled violently, as if it had been subjected to a tremendous shock.
A moment later, the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World came to his senses. He immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Seeing this, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor said, "What do you think of what I just told you?"
Upon hearing the words of the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World replied with a slightly excited tone, "If that is truly the case, then I will certainly obey Your Majesty's orders completely!"
The Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Very good. Then you can wait patiently for news here."
The Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At that moment, all living beings in the entire Myriad Spirits World witnessed the dialogue between the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan and the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World.
When they saw the Heavenly Dao bowing respectfully to the Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, almost all the beings in the Myriad Spirits World were stunned, their hearts filled with turbulent waves of shock.
These beings whispered amongst themselves, speculating about the identity of this mysterious, powerful, and terrifying figure from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, who could command such awe and reverence from the Heavenly Dao.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor and a group of Yuan Clan elders took Yuan Zhexian with them and left the Myriad Spirits World, returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Then, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor smiled and said to Yuan Zhexian, "Zhexian, please wait a moment. You will come with us shortly."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was somewhat surprised, but he immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuan Clan's Great Ancestor turned around, faced the assembled elders, and solemnly said, "Everyone, hurry up and make preparations!"
"Today, we will slaughter the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
However, when Yuan Zhexian heard this, he was immediately stunned. He never expected that these ancestors would take him to slaughter the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Just then, the five ancestors of the Yuan clan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter sounding particularly abrupt in the tranquil atmosphere.
He said, "Haha, I've had my eye on that guy for a long time, and now I finally have the chance to kill him!"
"This is truly gratifying!" His words revealed a deep disgust and disdain for the Way of Heaven.
Upon seeing this, the other elders also smiled and nodded in unison to express their agreement with what the Fifth Patriarch had said.
Clearly, they all shared the same anticipation and excitement about slaughtering the Heavenly Dao.
The Great Ancestor of the Yuan Clan turned his gaze to Yuan Zhexian, who looked puzzled and shocked, and then slowly said, "Zhexian, you don't need to be so puzzled."
"After we annihilate the Heavenly Dao, we will naturally explain the reasons to you in detail."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian, though still filled with questions, nodded silently and said nothing more.
