Chapter 450: Chapter 202: Praise, Fengdu Emperor_2
As Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens’ calming factor, Ancestor Gong entered closed-door cultivation, and nobody dared to disturb him—even with a mandate from Gong Buyu, Xue Mingzhi could only relay messages to Ancestor Gong through several True Beings of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.
When exactly Ancestor Gong would end his closed-door cultivation was something no one knew.
Since the matter pertained to the chaos in the Netherworld and the conflicts between the major sects and Great Xia’s Imperial Court, within the entire Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, only Ancestor Gong himself could make decisions. Even informing other True Beings would be useless.
During this time, a True Monarch awoke but, upon realizing it had something to do with Gong Buyu, did not dare to recklessly ask Xue Mingzhi the reason for his visit.
Until a quarter hour before, someone in Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens relayed a message that Ancestor Gong had finally awakened from his seclusion, asking Xue Mingzhi to go and pay a visit to Ancestor Gong.
The time had been delayed by a full two days, casting a shadow over Xue Mingzhi’s heart.
The turmoil in the Netherworld was no small matter; if it worsened due to him, he would be too ashamed to face Teacher Shen again.
Accompanied by a Spirit Refining True Being who ascended a range of mountains, Xue Mingzhi alone entered a magnificent palace.
As he walked into the palace, a weary and elderly voice slowly rose within the grand hall.
“You come with Buyu’s mandate, what exactly is the matter?”
Within the grand hall, there was no sign of Ancestor Gong’s figure, only a massive jade pillar that penetrated through the entire hall.
Xue Mingzhi, not daring to pry hastily, could only bow in the direction of the jade pillar as he said:
“Reporting to Ancestor Gong, I have come on Teacher Shen’s orders, to convey a message to the elder.”
“Teacher Shen? Are you speaking of the Supreme Taoist senior brother?”
The elderly voice, full of surprise, caused Xue Mingzhi’s field of vision to darken. The massive jade pillar that penetrated the entire hall suddenly exploded.
An emaciated old man in a white cloud-patterned Taoist robe stepped out from the ruins of the pillar. Xue Mingzhi did not even get a clear look at the man’s figure when an overwhelming pressure emanating from him nearly crushed his spirit soul.
Within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, several True Beings turned their gaze towards the palace, their expressions filled with shock.
“Didn’t the elder just re-entered seclusion to prevent the erosion of his lifespan? Why has he come out again?”
“Could it be that something major has happened in the Primal Chaos Realm?”
Inside the grand hall, Ancestor Gong’s wide sleeves and the gentle fluctuations of mana protected Xue Mingzhi from his oppressive aura, allowing Xue Mingzhi to barely recover, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Ancestor Gong asked urgently:
“What exactly did Supreme Taoist senior brother send you here with? Is it information regarding the Falling Clouds Sect?”
Xue Mingzhi, looking at the powerful old man before him, could not even guess what realm Ancestor Gong, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had reached.
Yet even such a figure still addressed Teacher Shen as a senior brother, and just a message had caused Ancestor Gong to lose composure. This made Xue Mingzhi’s reverence for Shen Yuan grow even deeper.
After collecting his thoughts, Xue Mingzhi said respectfully:
“Teacher Shen asked me to tell you that behind this incursion from the Netherworld into Tai Province, is the 10th Hall Yama plotting to invade the Primal Chaos Realm.
The matter of the Netherworld is of great significance. He hopes you will relay the news to other grotto heavens blessed lands and work together to quell the chaos in the Netherworld.”
“The 10th Hall Yama? Invading the Primal Chaos Realm?”
Gong Buhuo’s face turned pale.
Although he barely reached the Immortal Realm before the arrival of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, becoming the unchallenged elder of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens,
it was exactly because he reached the Immortal Realm that he realized how powerful beings like the celestial gods and the Ghost Emperor Yama truly were.
Even during the Primal Chaos Realm’s heyday, any one of the figures from the 10 Halls Yama was enough to dominate the entire realm.
If it weren’t for the backing of the lineages of the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land, a single Yama could flatten the entire Primal Chaos Realm.
And now, with the Primal Chaos Realm having been disconnected from the worlds for ten thousand years, Yama coveting such a barren land naturally puzzled Gong Buhuo.
If someone else had told Gong Buhuo that Yama intervened in the chaos of the Netherworld, Gong Buhuo wouldn’t have cared at all.
But the message Xue Mingzhi conveyed came from the mouth of the Supreme Taoist, and without hesitation, Gong Buhuo believed the truth of this news.
Gong Buhuo’s face changed several times, not expecting that in just a few months of seclusion to reduce the erosion of his lifespan, such a huge change had happened within the Primal Chaos Realm.
As a veteran powerful expert with tens of thousands of years under his belt, Gong Buhuo could be certain that behind the coveting of Yama, there were certainly other important reasons.
Seeing Gong Buhuo’s changing expressions and sensing some urgency, Xue Mingzhi quickly said:
“Please, Ancestor Gong, relay the message to the other sects. This matter has already been delayed for two days, and it is very likely that the situation in the Netherworld may change again.”
Gong Buhuo furrowed his brows, immediately realizing this might be related to his unusually late awakening from enclosed cultivation.
But at this moment, he had no time to ponder these matters. Reaching his right hand into the void, the next moment several golden communication talismans appeared in his hand.
These talismans were seventh-grade void talismans, capable of bypassing the current world’s rules and transmitting messages through the Endless Void—immensely valuable.
But right now, there was no room for Gong Buhuo to fret over these losses. After marking coordinates corresponding to each of the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land in the void talismans, Gong Buhuo was about to use the void talismans for communication, but at that moment, his actions suddenly halted.
