CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 981: OATH

As members of the Demon Palace, although Supreme Xuanyuan and Lady Yuji differ somewhat in their Cultivation Techniques, they nonetheless share the same lineage.

On this Tao Path, although Supreme Xuanyuan has not yet reached the end, having already achieved the position of Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, he has left Lady Yuji, who is merely a Quasi-Saint, far behind.

Using his own Great Path as a medium, finding another Cultivator practicing this path is not a difficult task for Supreme Xuanyuan.

Having narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Divine Ancestor Douzhan and hiding within this Chaos Dust to recuperate, he sensed Yuji and transmitted a Magic Decree to her for this very reason.

After all, on this Great Path, he cannot sense anyone ahead of him, but those who follow behind are all within his sensing.

And among them, Lady Yuji is somewhat closer to him.

Initially, as he immersed himself in his own Great Path and began sensing those who came after, within just a few breaths, he could sense Lady Yuji’s presence.

But now, Supreme Xuanyuan spent nearly a full two-hour without sensing any trace of her existence.

"On the Great Path, to be unable to sense that woman, how is this possible?"

"Could it be, by some accident, she has already died?"

Opening his eyes, both of Supreme Xuanyuan’s white eyebrows furrowed and connected together.

He cursed lowly for a while, tilting his head, and pondered for a long time.

If Yuji were really dead, there would be no need for her to fool him with a bird as a substitute.

Moreover, that manipulator behind her, being able to deceive him for so many years with a bird, must not be simple in strength.

Perhaps that person has not truly stepped into the Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm, yet strength-wise, he’s definitely much stronger than an average Quasi-Saint.

Knowing well he would offend a Primordial Chaos Daluo by assisting Yuji, he still chose to do so. It is obvious there is more to his relationship with Yuji.

Yuji is already a Quasi-Saint, and with such a powerful person helping her, unless a Daluo steps in, in the Primordial world, who could harm her? How could she die silently?

"Could it be, she has abolished her Tao Foundation and turned to another Great Path?"

"Otherwise, on the path I’m on, how could I not see any traces of her existence?"

"Yes, that seems to be the case. To be so ruthless with herself, I underestimated Yuji before!"

Furrowing his brow and contemplating for a long time, Supreme Xuanyuan finally reached this conclusion.

With a sigh of emotion, a trace of resentment briefly crossed his face: "In the Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm, no one has ever shamed me so much."

"To replace herself with a bird, fooling me for so many years, Yuji’s actions are akin to trampling my old face underfoot."

"If I do nothing after being so humiliated, where would Supreme Xuanyuan’s dignity remain?"

"Should this matter reach the ears of other Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm Taoist Friends in Chaos, were they to mock me, at the very least, I must make Yuji pay a heavy price before I can argue back!"

"Destroy her Tao Foundation? Does she think that being so ruthless to herself would truly escape my search?"

"I do not believe she can sever all ties with her former colleagues or disciples completely."

"Once I find the slightest clue, no matter how deep she hides, she can’t escape my watchful eyes, and I’ll drag her here forcefully!"

...

Thoughts swirling wildly in his mind, Supreme Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

Being forced by the Divine Ancestor Douzhan to hide in this Chaos Dust is something Supreme Xuanyuan can endure.

After all, who is to blame for having less strength than others?

But the matter of Yuji using a bird to humiliate him, he cannot tolerate, no matter what.

Vowing to make Yuji pay the necessary price, Supreme Xuanyuan calmed his mind, and soon, he was completely at peace.

The dense Chaos Dust drifted around, settling on him, and soon he was completely buried, his presence entirely concealed.

...

In the 32nd Layer Heaven, within Chen Hai’s Grotto Heaven.

At the peak of the Immortal Mountain, sometimes it floods to the brim, sometimes flames spread everywhere, sometimes mountains collapse and the earth shatters.

Under the atmospheric rendering of numerous apocalyptic visions, the region is now scarlet, a peculiar scent of blood mixed with sulfur wafts over the Immortal Mountain.

Seated on the mountaintop’s open area, the people of the Black Water Lineage resonate with any of the myriad visions, sinking within and falling into a certain state of Path Enlightenment.

During the last sermon, Chen Hai had just stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

And this time, having taken a small step forward, stepping into the Mid Period of Quasi-Saint, his power is even stronger, and his understanding of the Tao of Seven Emotions and Six Desires is significantly clearer.

With such a premise, Chen Hai’s sermon this time spoke of more mystical topics, making it easier for his disciples to enter into a state of Path Enlightenment.

Originally, Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying, who seemed somewhat discordant and incompatible with the other listeners on the mountaintop, somehow had also fallen into a state of Path Enlightenment.

The vision resonating with Lady Yuji is a bizarre scene of countless naked women, singing softly and dancing enchantingly.

On the other side, the vision in harmony with Shi Qingying is a Red Pink Skull, wielding a scythe harvesting lives...

Completely immersed in the sermon, Chen Hai did not pay much attention to these affairs.

Otherwise, witnessing such a scene, he would surely look on with gratification, muttering "even foolish students can be taught."

"Heaven, Earth, and Man, Three Flowers, converge!"

Among listeners near the front of the ground, someone gave a low shout.

Immediately, the Three Flowers above his head instantly began to merge, transforming into a flawless Taoist Fruit.

It seems this person gained insight while listening, and began advancing to Daluo right there.

Such scenes aren’t just happening once or twice.

The truth is, disciples of the Black Water Lineage, practicing the Black Water True Technique passed down by Chen Hai, cultivate rapidly below the Daluo Realm.

Only after truly achieving Golden Immortal does their cultivation speed slow down, like the speed of a turtle.

The reason for this is simple, because Chen Hai, their source of cultivation technique, remains a Quasi-Saint himself.

The closer his disciples’ Realm approaches his, the more their cultivation speed gradually slows down.
