However, he did not show much surprise on the surface. Instead, with a friendly expression, he bowed with one hand and said to Daoist Duobao, "Fellow Daoist Duobao, I have long admired you!"
Seeing this, Daoist Duobao quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Since you are the people Master summoned, then junior sisters, don't waste any more time, go and meet Master quickly."
Golden Spirit Mother nodded to indicate that she understood, and then continued to lead Yuan Zhexian toward Biyou Palace.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Biyou Palace.
At this moment, the Golden Spirit Mother stopped and turned to Yuan Zhexian, instructing him: "Fellow Daoist Hua Yuan, when you see your master later, no matter what questions he asks you, you must answer truthfully and do not hide anything."
"The sage's power is all-seeing; nothing can escape his discerning eyes. You must keep this in mind."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the magnificent Biyou Palace.
Upon entering the palace, Yuan Zhexian looked around and saw that the palace was grand in scale and imposing in appearance, but it was empty and seemed rather desolate.
However, in the very center of the palace, there was a cluster of pure white clouds, and upon these clouds sat a person.
This person was dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.
His face appeared to be that of a middle-aged man, yet it exuded an unparalleled majesty that made people afraid to look him in the eye.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed, seemingly conserving his energy.
Yuan Zhexian stared intently and discovered that this person was surrounded by an extremely terrifying aura, which was like a raging storm, surging and making people shudder.
Moreover, the area surrounding this terrifying aura was permeated with the essence of Dao, as if he were the master of this world, controlling everything.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Greetings, Master Tongtian."
The moment Yuan Zhexian finished speaking, Tongtian Jiaozhu suddenly opened his eyes.
Two golden rays of light suddenly shone from those eyes.
These two beams of light, like lightning, instantly pierced through the surrounding void and reached Yuan Zhexian directly.
At the same time, the Tongtian Sect Leader uttered a heart-stirring voice, a voice as loud as a great bell, resounding throughout the entire palace, and even causing the surrounding space to tremble.
"Sages govern heaven and earth, representing the will of heaven and earth!"
"Below the sage, all are but ants!"
"No matter who it is, as long as they have not yet reached the level of a sage, they must kneel and bow when they see a sage to express their utmost respect for the sage!"
The words of the Tongtian Sect Leader acted like a stabilizing force, enveloping the entire palace in solemnity.
Just as the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking, a terrifying pressure, seemingly emanating from the heavens and earth, suddenly pressed down on Yuan Zhexian's body.
The pressure was so strong that Yuan Zhexian's body felt as if it were being crushed by a huge mountain, almost forcing him to lie face down on the ground.
However, after feeling this terrifying pressure, Yuan Zhexian did not prostrate himself on the ground like ordinary people.
Instead, they stood tall and faced this immense pressure without flinching.
He gritted his teeth, mobilized all his magical power, and struggled to resist the terrifying pressure.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhexian's body was still unable to fully withstand this immense pressure.
Large beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead and back, and the sweat slid down his cheeks, soaking his clothes.
His face also turned extremely pale, as if he were enduring great pain.
However, Yuan Zhexian did not yield to this.
He clenched his fists tightly, straightened up with all his might, and stared at the Tongtian Sect Leader with unwavering determination. He spoke with difficulty, "I do not respect Heaven, nor do I kneel. I act entirely according to my own will."
Although his voice trembled slightly due to the immense pressure he was under, it revealed an unwavering determination and indomitable spirit.
Immediately afterward, Yuan Zhexian took a deep breath and continued, "If you think you can make me submit just because you are a saint, that is absolutely impossible!"
His words echoed like thunder throughout the land, seemingly shattering the terrifying pressure.
The moment Yuan Zhexian finished speaking, the overwhelming pressure that seemed to encompass heaven and earth vanished without a trace, like clouds scattered by a gust of wind.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Yuan Zhexian's upright posture and resolute gaze, a satisfied expression appearing on his face. He said, "Not bad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tongtian Sect Leader waved his arm, and Yuan Zhexian felt a blur before his eyes.
My body was instantly pulled by a powerful force, as if I had traveled through time and space, and in the blink of an eye I arrived in another completely unfamiliar space.
Yuan Zhexian looked around and saw that the space was chaotic and boundless, without any obvious boundaries or landmarks.
A sense of doubt welled up in his heart, and he turned to look at the Tongtian Sect Leader, asking, "Tongtian Sect Leader, why did you bring me here?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled slightly and said slowly, "The sacred grounds of sages are isolated from the outside world, and the secrets of heaven are unpredictable and cannot be discerned or deduced."
"However, just in case, it would be safer for us to talk within the space of this Chaos Treasure."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhexian nodded thoughtfully, but the doubts in his heart did not completely disappear.
Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly smiled strangely and said, "Tongtian Sect Leader?"
"No!"
"I prefer to hear you call me ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was struck dumb, exclaiming in shock, "What?"
His face was filled with astonishment, clearly finding the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader unbelievable.
Just as Yuan Zhexian was in shock, a deep and resonant voice suddenly rang out in the space of this Chaos Treasure: "Yuan Tong, stop teasing this little guy!"
Before the words were finished, a white light suddenly flashed, and when the light dissipated, an old man with an otherworldly air, a dignified face, white hair and white clothes appeared before the Tongtian Sect Leader and Yuan Zhexian.
Then the old man spoke again, saying, "Young man, Yuan Tong is your distant ancestor."
"And I am your ancestor—Yuanshi, and also the Yuanshi Tianzun of that primordial world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his arm slightly and instantly formed a Dao seal.
The seal emitted a dazzling light, and the power it contained seemed capable of tearing the heavens and the earth apart.
When Yuan Zhexian saw this seal, his heart was filled with shock and disbelief. His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
Because this seal is no ordinary seal, but the supreme seal of the Yuan Clan—the Yuanling Seal!
The power of this seal is immense, and apart from the ten ancestors of the Yuan clan, the Yuan clan lord, and Yuan Zhexian himself, no one else knows about it.
If anyone else could perform this technique, it would be the Yuan Clan's progenitor who created the Yuanling Dao Seal.
