Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 949: Repelled

"This is..."

Inside the world.

Jiuhua Spirit Mountain.

Cen Hongyue, who had already established a Dao venue and was preparing to create a sect, suddenly felt a chill.

She looked up and found the sun rising as usual, as if nothing had changed in the world. But for some reason, she had a constant feeling that a great disaster was imminent.

"Could it be that another Heavenly Demon descent is about to occur... The Tai Shi Mountain battlefield, Tai Shi Mountain?"

Cen Hongyue suddenly widened her eyes, looking at the statue of the Taixu Daoist Ancestor she worshipped: "I remember... the ancient texts recorded that when Tai Shi Mountain transformed into a Demon Realm, it was thanks to Ancestor Taiyi's intervention, which severely injured the Supreme Demon, preserving a trace of vitality for the righteous path and saving the entire world..."

...

Zhengyi Dao.

Gu Wuwang was convening with the elders to discuss a peculiar matter.

"Have any of you heard of this Taixu Daoist Ancestor?"

"Isn't it traditionally only the Xuanmen Orthodox that can produce Dao Ancestors? And those widely worshipped were the three Dao Ancestors of the former Daoist Triad, the ones worshipped by Fangxian, Zhengyi, and Taishi..."

An elder exclaimed in surprise.

"No, no, I heard from my master that there is another Taixu Daoist Ancestor in this world, who sacrificed himself by entering another sect and became its ancestor."

Another elderly man with white hair shook his head and continued.

"Indeed, I have also heard about it, yet something still feels off..."

Gu Wuwang had a peculiar expression: "Given that even Loose Cultivators can produce Dao Ancestors, it seems biased to call them by another sect name... I have decided..."

At this moment, a strange ripple passed.

The curtains of history fell one by one, even the Great Saints could not resist.

Everyone's expressions instantly turned bewildered, then gained a look of sudden realization.

"I remember now..."

An elder clapped his hands and said, "Taixu Daoist Ancestor indeed made an appearance during the demonization of Tai Shi Mountain; all cultivators present at the time saw it, it was no fiction!"

"Exactly, why did I forget this earlier?"

Another elder in charge of the records exclaimed in surprise.

He specifically retrieved an ancient text, browsing through the writings of the Dao: "Hmm, thankfully there was assistance from the Taixu Daoist Ancestor back then, allowing some disciples of Tai Shi Mountain to escape with their lives. However, most records were lost, and the Tai Shi Zhenjing itself became extremely dangerous, causing the legacy to gradually decline, now turning into the 'Supreme Mysterious Sect'... which still has descendants today."

"I understand now, you all may leave!"

Gu Wuwang waved his hand, dismissing the elders.

He then caressed a Spiritual Treasure like a white jade Dao record, his expression becoming extremely uncertain: "...Without becoming a Dao Ancestor, one is ultimately an ant! Arbitrarily altering, twisting history... Is this also the ability of a Dao Ancestor and supreme powers?"

Even ordinary Great Saints might not detect altered history.

But Gu Wuwang, being at the pinnacle of Great Saints and aided by top Spiritual Treasures, finally detected something amiss.

But what can be done upon discovery?

For history to be corrected, only a Dao Ancestor of equal standing can do it.

"Ignorance is bliss..."

Gu Wuwang's mouth curled into a bitter and somber smile.

...

Outside the Crystal Wall System.

The Mysterious Lord retracted his robe, allowing that crimson moon to fully emerge.

The bizarre world also vanished.

After the other three supreme beings suffered injuries, these two finally seemed to regain some clarity, choosing to retreat temporarily.

As they withdrew, several other supreme beings vanished as well.

Countless historical curtains fell, from which the figure of Zhong Shenxiu emerged.

"To strike across history and actually alter the course of the real world's history progression... The originally annihilated Tai Shi Mountain actually has a branch, the Supreme Mysterious Sect, legacy?"

His expression was also somewhat strange.

This feeling of dominating history is indeed intoxicating.

"Hiss hiss... For us beings who hold dominion over history and time-related authorities, the history of the world is just something that can be decided at will... The history of any world is determined by our struggles unless defined by a supreme existence..."

Time's Ouroboros stated: "To us, history is like a little girl ready to be dressed up... No, it should be said, whether history is male or female is also decided by us!"

'That phrase sounds familiar...'

Zhong Shenxiu mentally added a note, then asked, "So... has this battle finally concluded?"

"Hiss hiss... Our task is also nearing completion."

Time's Ouroboros seemed to look forward into a scene of the future: "Originally, even with us three guarding, those five incarnations were still extremely easy to be Daoized. After all, they share the same origin as the main body, even across a world... However, the will of that great one descended, in some sense, now the rank of the incarnations is higher than the main body... Once they accumulate enough power, they can even retroactively influence and erode the main body!"

"Time is on our side, and several of those five beings were severely injured earlier... making it even harder for them to resist the influence... Just by patiently waiting, we will certainly achieve a favorable result."

The Master of the Gate added.

"That's indeed excellent."

Zhong Shenxiu exhaled deeply: "When will that great one recover? Regarding the ancient battlefield and future pathways, there are some aspects I wish to inquire about."

"If it's just about the ancient battlefield, I can tell you now... With our current power, we still cannot enter the heart of the battlefield, at most we can only hover around the edges..."

The Master of the Gate's unhurried voice resonated.

"And there are many edge regions of the ancient battlefield, among which there is one you should be quite familiar with, or rather... have heard of its name."

In a calm tone, the Master of the Gate declared: "Little Taihuangtian!"

Zhong Shenxiu felt a thrill, like electricity coursing through his body, and sighed: "So it is indeed so..."

If it weren't for an extremely terrifying event, how could it be possible for a large number of Immortals from Taihuangtian to flee, with some settling in Seven Luminaries Heaven, establishing the Yan Han Empire?

After all, Taihuangtian is a world guarded by a Dao Ancestor!

Yet a single Dao Ancestor is indeed insignificant in the face of those supreme existences, unable to defend all their people on the battlefield.

In the end, the fate of Taihuangtian also seems bleak.

Zhong Shenxiu couldn't help but think of his attempt at a small world of Primordial Spirit—the Little Taihuangtian!

That realm seems to be a part of Taihuangtian, but it was shattered, causing cultivators' paths to be cut off.

"Hiss hiss... Taihuangtian, as an edge battlefield, was once shattered in half, with countless fragments scattered across the Three Thousand Worlds, yet most still remain..."

Time's Ouroboros noted: "The combat forms of supreme existences can sometimes exceed your imagination, for instance... it's not only about comparing power, but also examining paths, symbols, forces... We top True Gods already have a slight qualification to participate in the edge of the battlefield..."
