Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 912 The Holy Venerable Visits Tai Xuan

Noon the next day.

Zhao Ruohan, Ye Zhiwei, Lin Xuanxuan and the others arrived at the Sword Sect.

Chi Jiuyu invited them.

Now that she's reached the Void Realm, she's thinking of holding a "Void Realm Ceremony" to gather all her cronies together.

"Who... hit you?"

In front of the cave.

Ye Zhiwei looked at Chi Jiuyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a bruised and swollen face, in surprise.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Chi Jiuyu maneuvered the wheelchair inside.

"Please come in first."

To be honest, she really didn't want others to see her in this embarrassing state.

Xiao Ye, in particular, will definitely use this incident to make fun of herself later.

But there was nothing she could do; the invitation had already been sent the moment she came out of quarantine.

I thought I could hide with my master and lay low for a while, and get through this period, but I never expected...

My master has gone out to visit friends!

Hey~

Her lifelong reputation as the "Emperor One True Person" has vanished just like that!

The three looked at each other, all somewhat puzzled.

But after thinking for a moment, he still followed her into the house.

Upon arriving in the living room, Yu Yi quickly served tea to the group. The fragrant aroma of tea rose up and, upon reaching a high point, transformed into delicate white petals that drifted down.

Rich and fragrant.

With their current cultivation levels, the aroma of this tea stirred their thoughts and brought forth a sudden burst of inspiration.

The flow of magical power became much smoother.

This tea...

"Where did you get it?" Ye Zhiwei asked.

"You mean this? This is a treasured possession of Senior Yuanjun."

Ok?

How did my aunt's treasured possession end up in your hands?

Zhao Ruohan looked at Chi Jiuyu with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask so many questions, just drink yours!"

This tea was given to her by her master when she went to him to avoid trouble.

In fact, it wasn't just Senior Yuanjun; several other True Immortal seniors she knew had also sent gifts, and each one was a fine item.

Perhaps because she often went to chat with her master, he felt her filial piety.

In short, she made a small fortune again.

Unfortunately, my master is visiting friends out of town.

Seeing that she seemed unwilling to talk, the three of them exchanged glances again and did not press her further.

It seems that the reason she is in a wheelchair today is related to this tea.

Chi Jiuyu also noticed the silent communication between the group and guessed that they might have misunderstood each other.

but……

Let it be a misunderstanding!

Soon after, the doorbell rang again.

However, Zhang Yunlu arrived with Hong Qingchen and Ye Zhiwei.

……

……

at the same time.

In front of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

"The spiritual energy of all realms has faded, and the extraordinary has disappeared. Moreover, celestial demons have appeared in the world and exist in the abyss of chaos."

Opposite Xu Xing, a supreme and holy, noble and majestic figure was surrounded by golden flames that could be seen with the naked eye.

He wore an elaborate white robe with gold patterns, his long hair cascading down his shoulders, shining like flowing gold, and a crown woven from golden thorns on his head.

His expression was calm, and his tone was even.

The pupils pulsed with a raging 'divine fire,' as if countless gods were manifesting within them, and immeasurable worlds rose and fell with the pulsation of the 'divine fire.'

The ultimate in divinity, the ultimate in holiness!

Each leap of the 'Divine Fire' carries with it an immense power capable of utterly annihilating a Cave Immortal.

Holy One!

The originator of the ritualistic transcendental system.

"I wonder if this was the work of that Daoist patriarch, or your intention?"

As an enlightened being, He naturally sensed the changes in the Chaos Sea.

Judging from the current situation and considering what He knows, the changes in all the heavens and myriad realms should be inextricably linked to that Dao Ancestor.

But it's hard to say.

After all, the power of the Dao Source surpasses everything, so it's best not to make any wild guesses in front of this Sword Ancestor.

Just as those below the level of saints can never comprehend the true God, the thoughts of those who have attained the Dao may seem utterly ridiculous to the source of the Dao.

Why not just ask?

"The absence of extraordinary power and the fading of spiritual energy are the work of Xuan. As for the Heavenly Demon Realm, that was a change that occurred spontaneously in the Chaos Sea after I achieved the Dao Source."

"I see." The Holy One paused. "And what do you mean?"

The Dao Ancestor is no longer here.

What matters is the opinion of the Sword Ancestor before us.

"Just let nature take its course," Xu Xing said calmly.

"A temporary silence is also for a better rebirth."

"If there were only these two paths in the vast chaotic sea, it would be too monotonous."

The Holy One nodded slightly.

"I understand."

He attained enlightenment by establishing a new system of spiritual practice.

To some extent, the ritualistic supernatural system was the opportunity for His enlightenment.

The fading and subsequent revival of the extraordinary signifies the collapse of the original extraordinary order, and the ritualistic extraordinary system is no longer the only cultivation system apart from the original system.

But He didn't seem to care much.

Those who attain enlightenment are truly proven and eternally recognized, their enlightenment pervading all the heavens and the universe.

Even if all the heavens and myriad realms are destroyed, and everything returns to nothingness.

Those who attain enlightenment remain those who attain enlightenment.

"Then I shall take my leave."

"Mm." Xu Xing nodded slightly.

The next second, the Holy Venerable was seen to transform into a wisp of pale golden light and dissipate.

What has arrived in the Tai Xuan Realm is merely an avatar; His true self has not yet departed.

Therefore, the exchange between the cultivator and the extraordinary individual was scheduled for two days later.

Since it was an invitation from the only Dao Source True Immortal Sword Ancestor, it would only show sincerity if the true body came.

Shortly after the Holy One left.

"His 'Daoist wounds' seem to have healed considerably?"

A red figure appeared, transforming into a curvaceous and stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress.

Meizu.

She naturally took Xu Xing's arm and looked at the spot where the Holy Venerable had just been.

"Yes, after all, Xuan is no longer here."

The Holy Venerable's 'Dao Wound' was left when he clashed with Xuan, and now Xuan has self-destructed.

Without Xuan's continuous influence, the recovery is naturally much faster than before.

Who are you planning to appoint as representatives two days from now?

"Nine fishermen and Cheng Kong"

Xu Xing named the two people he had chosen.

One is the strongest Dongzhen in the past.

One is the greatest genius of modern times.

"As for other candidates, let the sect leaders discuss and decide."

As he spoke, Xu Xing looked into the distance.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of time, revealing a world that was remarkably similar to the Tai Xuan Realm, yet far more primitive.

Yi, Gu Feng, Cheng hope...

Familiar figures, one by one, fellow Daoists who fell in the past and vanished into the long river of history.

In addition, there is You rushing to see an old friend, Kui returning to Wuxian City, and Huo seeing Cheng hope again.

Tai Xuan: The First Timeline

It is not a side story, but a world completely identical to the main timeline of the Tai Xuan Realm, yet independent of the Tai Xuan Realm.

What they experienced will not change.

The past remains the past, and the present remains the present.

but!

There will be no more regrets.

……

……

Two days later.

Within the inner sect of the Sword Sect, in a newly opened cave-like space.

A young man, dressed in loose pajamas and with messy hair like a bird's nest, was sitting cross-legged in front of the monitor.

He was wearing headphones, holding a game controller, and staring intently at the screen. The screen flashed with dazzling visuals.

There are a few small words in the upper left and upper right corners respectively.

On the left is 'Sword Dao Ultimate', and on the right is 'Moonless Feather'.

Soon, the word 'Victory' appeared on the screen.

"You little brat! You think you can fight me?"

He put down the controller with satisfaction, picked up the snacks next to him and poured them into his mouth. After eating almost all of them, he picked up the spirit wine next to him and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

hiccup~

"Cool!"

This modern society is so awesome!

Cheng Kong was extremely satisfied.

Just as he put down his drink, preparing to start another game to solidify his ranking...

boom!

The loud noise behind him startled him, and he jumped up from the ground.

wrong!

I really wanted to represent the superhumans and communicate with them today!

Cheng Kong was a little nervous.

I hope my master won't come to arrest me.

He turned around nervously, only to see that the person who came was not Xu Xing, but a young girl dressed in a blue robe, who was clearly dressed up carefully and had beautiful features...

At the very least, she looks like a young girl.

He knew it all too well.

"...Qianqian?" Cheng Kong asked uncertainly.

Hong Qianqian didn't reply. Instead, she glanced at the messy ground, then looked up at him and examined him carefully.

Cheng Kong: "..."

My image!

Everything collapsed and disappeared in an instant.

"When did you get back?" Hong Qianqian asked in a deep voice.

Unlike her usual carefree self, she appeared unusually calm today.

When did you get back?

"About a month ago."

That is, when the 'special training' ends.

"Why don't you come to see me?" Hong Qianqian asked directly.

Ah this!

Cheng Kong touched his nose.

"I've been a bit busy since my master brought me back. I'm not used to many things since I just got back, so I thought I'd get to know things first before coming to see you."

"Is this what you mean by 'understanding'?"

Hong Qianqian looked at the screen behind him.

"Junior Sister Jiu Yu recommended it; she said you play it too..."

I'm sorry, Junior Sister Jiu Yu.

If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you!

Cheng Kong silently thought to himself, then said seriously:

"By the way, what brings you here?"

His skill at changing the subject is on par with his master's.

"Today is the day that the Holy Venerable, the founder of the extraordinary ritual system, is visiting the Tai Xuan Realm. My father and I have come to witness the ceremony..."

As she spoke, Hong Qianqian glanced at him a few more times.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to represent the past like this?"

"It's okay, I'll just change my clothes later."

"I brought it for you. Wear this when you go over later."

As she spoke, Hong Qianqian took out a set of clothes.

Cheng Kong glanced at it and joked, "You didn't do this, did you?"

"Ah."

I thought it was impossible to send it out anymore.

But unexpectedly...

There will be another day when we meet again.

"Give it a try."

"..."

Cheng Kong was silent for two seconds before nodding seriously.

"it is good!"

after a while.

Just moments ago, Cheng Kong was like a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, or apathy) otaku, but now he has transformed into a dashing and elegant white-robed sword cultivator.

He exuded an arrogant air of looking down on the world.

But this arrogance doesn't make people dislike it; on the contrary, it gives the feeling that he should be like this.

Even after all these years, I'm still this handsome!

Cheng Kong thought to himself with smug satisfaction.

In this life, Hong Qianqian is behind him, helping him fasten his belt.

"My father wants to see you."

Ok? !

Cheng Kong seemed to be frightened, and his whole body trembled.

"Hong, is this Senior Hong Zun?"

Aside from his master and senior brother, the person he feared most was Senior Hongzun.

He used to be known as the strongest Dongzhen.

But when facing Senior Hongzun, I felt a chill run down my spine.

able……

Are you not going to see it?

"Don't worry, Father just wants to talk to you," Hong Qianqian said softly.

……

……

At noon, the sunlight was just right.

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

Among the tourists coming and going, several figures with very distinctive attire walked in with the dense crowd.

The leader was a figure dressed in a magnificent robe, wearing a golden crown of thorns, with soft facial features, making it impossible to distinguish whether he was male or female.

Behind Him stood a muscular, strong man dressed in a deep red bodysuit with a flowing white cloak.

There was also a beautiful woman wearing a pointed round hat, sitting sideways on a boiler.

There was also a tall figure clad in bright silver armor, surrounded by the four elements of wind, thunder, rain, and fire, whose specific appearance was obscured.

An old man holding a staff, his long beard almost dragging on the ground, a hot girl in a tight leather outfit, and a cold girl holding two short daggers in her hand.

Men, women, young and old are all included.

All things considered, the attack involved dozens of people.

Their cultivation levels varied.

Apart from the leading Holy Venerable who is an enlightened being, this group includes three True Gods comparable to Dongzhen, five Holy Lords on par with Tongxuan, and twelve Saints equal to Hedao.

As for those below them—Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Returning—one of them also came.

They are the most outstanding beings at each level within the extraordinary ritual system.

Strangely, despite their distinctive attire, no one glanced at them as they walked.

"If we could hold a ceremony here, that would be truly..."

A muffled sound emanated from within the armor, carrying a sense of longing.

"Hmm! I'm warning you, don't get any ideas!" the burly man in the dark red bodysuit said sternly.

As a true god who had dealt with the True Immortals of the Tai Xuan Realm, he was well aware of the terror of the Tai Xuan True Immortals.

"Heh! How could I dare?"

Yep.

The true god of the 'Ossu' lineage, one of the ten lineages of the Ritualistic Extraordinary System.

Those who follow this lineage can wield elemental power and control all sorts of incredible forces, but at the cost of a weakened body.

Even the fourth stage of the Mystic Body is no match for the extraordinary beings of other lineages.

Soon, the group arrived at a huge square.

Then you see a statue standing in the center of the square.

The old man with a white beard that dragged on the ground looked up at the statue, as if he had sensed something, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

"A pure and intense willpower, I wonder who this person is..."

"This is the Sword Ancestor."

The Holy Venerable's calm words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the longing in the old man's eyes.

Sword Ancestor!

Beyond the highest, a truly supreme and unparalleled existence!

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

A figure came forward to greet them.

However, she was a strange woman with blonde hair and green eyes, dressed in a gorgeous robe, with a curvaceous figure, a metal ring on her right wrist.

墟！

The true god of the ritual system was captured from near the Taiyi Realm by the Bewitching One and imprisoned in the Dark Prison ever since.

It was only recently released.

"Please follow me." (End of Chapter)
