“Found it!”
The Ancient One, who was savoring tea, spat out a mouthful and hastily got up to walk over to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Superintendent, asking, “What did you say?”
The Ancient One’s gaze fixated on the books in the hands of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Superintendent, and a passage immediately attracted his attention.
“Hoe Changzai of Tianyun Sect, with ‘Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling,’ formed an affinity with the Taoist of Falling Cloud Sect. After the Taoist of Falling Cloud Sect slew the Void Refining True Monarch, he passed down five inheritances of Divine Skills, and Hoe Changzai received one of them.”
“The Taoist of Falling Cloud Sect, a slain Void Refining True Monarch, ‘Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling’? How is this possible!”
The Ancient One’s eyes widened in shock.
The name of the Falling Clouds Sect had already spread from the Daoist convention, and naturally, The Ancient One was also aware of the sect whose name had been erased from the historical records.
As one of the Book Immortals of Lang Huan Bibliotheca, The Ancient One was almost familiar with every book held there.
In the hands of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Superintendent, this volume of books not only involved that Supreme Taoist, but it also recorded the name of the Falling Clouds Sect, as well as the whereabouts of ‘Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling,’ making it of utmost importance.
Yet such an important record was completely unknown to him, which was absolutely contrary to common sense.
On the other hand, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Superintendent’s gaze was fixed on the four characters of ‘Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling’ on the book, a thoughtful glint passing through his eyes.
“Could the one who commands the Star Astrology Divine Power be the Supreme Taoist?”
Within the Great Xia’s borders, Cloud Floating Monster Territory.
Accompanying the return of the great Spirit Transmutation demon, who took part in the Ancient Demon Hall operation, to the Monster Territory and reporting the matter to the awakening Demon King, the whole territory was shaken.
“The Supreme Taoist still exists to this day?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“Our Cloud Floating Monster Territory’s last Demon Immortal could not survive through the ten thousand year Spirit Energy Exhaustion era, perishing three thousand years ago.
Normally, the more powerful experts are during the Spirit Energy depletion era, the greater the impact on them, even with sufficient life span, it’s difficult to survive the Spirit Energy depletion era, so how could the Supreme Taoist still be alive?”
“He even travels thousands of miles across reality to alter celestial phenomena, isn’t he afraid of retaliation from heaven and earth?”
Sounds of shock almost echoed throughout the entire Cloud Floating Monster Territory, making the whole territory tremble.
The great Spirit Transmutation demon who took part in the Ancient Demon Hall operation knelt on the ground, shivering. Those who spoke up were at least Demon Kings of a region, and there were even some who were on par with the Void Refining Realm Demon Emperors.
The last time the Cloud Floating Monster Territory was so agitated was when a powerful expert, suspected to be the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch, brought about such an influence.
However, at that time, it had not been long since the revival of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, and there were hardly a few awake Demon Kings within the Cloud Floating Monster Territory, let alone make any response.
Now, with the appearance of the Supreme Taoist, even the old monsters of the entire Cloud Floating Monster Territory were moved.
The Eastern Glory Divine Monarch was one thing; even if the position of Divine Monarch was comparable to a True Immortal, the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch’s divine lineage was shattered, lacking the support of divine lineage and the faith of worshippers, and was not worth too much attention.
But the Supreme Taoist was different.
Even ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Taoist was a peerless genius that shook the entire Primal Chaos Realm, with countless seasoned powerful experts perishing at his hands.
Even if in the ten thousand years the Supreme Taoist had not advanced in his cultivation, his strength alone would be enough to influence the current situation in Great Xia.
But... could such a peerless genius, who dominated the entire Primal Chaos Realm, have made no progress in cultivation over ten thousand years?
Even if the Supreme Taoist had attained the position of a Heavenly Immortal, it would hardly surprise anyone.
In this situation, the Cloud Floating Monster Territory had to pay close attention to the Supreme Taoist’s attitude towards the situation in Great Xia, as it could very well relate to the entire Monster Tribe’s momentum.
“Collect information on the Supreme Taoist.”
“Do not provoke the Supreme Taoist.”
“Hold off on the offensive against the Human Clan for now, and wait to confirm the Supreme Taoist’s attitude.”
Orders after orders were issued from within the Cloud Floating Monster Territory, and the Yunfu Mountain Lord, along with all the Mountain Gods, received commands from the Cloud Floating Monster Territory.
Within the Yunfu Mountain Range, as the revival of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge intensified, more and more animals began to awaken their Spiritual Wisdom and became part of the monster tribe, with hundreds of thousands of monsters already coveting the Human Clan’s cities, and the Mountain Gods even plotting a second war.
However, as the orders from the Cloud Floating Monster Territory were issued, all the monsters in the Yunfu Mountain Range immediately ceased their advances, and even the little demons sent out to harass the cities of the Human Clan were ordered to return to the mountains.
This event did not just happen within the Yunfu Mountain Range.
Inside the Great Xia’s borders, several large Monster Territories issued similar orders.
Just because of the appearance of the Supreme Taoist, many cities surrounding the numerous Monster Territories experienced a long-lost peace.
Days went by in a flash.
Ever since that day when he understood the cause and effect of history, Shen Yuan, who had chosen to let nature take its course, resumed his usual life.
Every day, aside from comprehending Divine Skills, he would play with Bai Xue and guide Gong Buyu in cultivation, leading a rather leisurely life.
With Shen Yuan’s guidance, Gong Buyu had also succeeded in these past few days in achieving the crucial gathering of the Yin God, merely waiting for the rules of heaven and earth to fully recover to step into the Spirit Transmutation Stage.
Shen Yuan had not cultivated these days, also waiting for the opportunity of heaven and earth rules’ revival to take the last and most crucial step.
Under the jujube tree by the stone table, Shen Yuan, dressed in white, quietly read ‘Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling,’ with Bai Xue curled up in his arms, her small paws clutching the shrunken Heaven-choosing Compass, fast asleep and snoring deeply.
Ever since Shen Yuan got the Heaven-choosing Compass, for some reason, Bai Xue took an interest in this compass, pestering him every day to bring it out for her as a toy.
At first, Shen Yuan was reluctant to comply with Bai Xue’s request.
