“Wrong…!!”
In Eternal Night City, His Majesty of the Divine Phoenix Dynasty felt a strange familiarity in the voice echoing through the void. Even as a powerful supernatural being, he sensed the immense coercion emanating from it.
Suddenly, an elder among the strong present stared at the southern void, exclaiming, “Look! It’s… a powerhouse in the Primordial Realm???”
Primordial Realm…
These three words silenced the entire scene. An incredible quietness fell, as if the words themselves weighed ten thousand catties.
Millions of eyes turned towards the horizon. Visible in the direction of Qingyun Daozong, a figure stepped through the void, advancing step by step.
The figure was ancient, clad in a blue robe with white hair, resembling a kind old man. Yet, with every step, he traversed thousands of miles.
The old figure walked through the air, not as if moving through space, but as if the world itself revolved around him. The old man simply stood, and the world shifted because of his presence.
Most peculiar was the enormous, illusory, and transparent light cluster, thousands of feet long, that enveloped his ancient body as he moved. Within this light cluster, scenes of mountains and rivers, the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and vibrant life unfolded. It was a small world!
The old man was not a particle of dust; he did not descend into this space but walked within his own small world!
“It is the manifestation of a Primordial Realm powerhouse, evolving a small world and forming a world of their own!”
“No wonder… there’s no trace of his aura in this space!”
A veteran sect elder, who had achieved the Dao thousands of years ago, stared at the figure. After a moment of thought, he spoke in a trembling voice, “It must be… Daoist Qingyun?”
“Qingyun Daozong’s sixteenth sect master. Ten thousand years ago, he voluntarily abdicated and was promoted to ancestor…!”
The head of the ancient Zhou family was in disbelief. “Daoist Qingyun??? This old man… is still alive??”
“And he’s stepped into the Primordial Realm??”
“This… impossible!!”
The head of the Zhou family was also from a previous era. He remembered Daoist Qingyun being at the tenth level of supernatural powers, entering seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Primordial Realm.
Since then, there had been no news of Daoist Qingyun for thousands of years. Occasional rumors circulated, but almost everyone in the Northern Realm believed Daoist Qingyun had died and entered reincarnation. Otherwise, if Qingyun Daozong had such an existence, why hadn't it ranked among the top ten forces in the Northern Realm for so many years?
“Things are difficult…” His Majesty Shenhuang’s expression darkened as he saw Daoist Qingyun approaching.
“Currently, in the entire Northern Realm, there are no more than five individuals in the Primordial Realm…!! All of them are supreme powerhouses from the previous era,” His Majesty Shenhuang murmured. “My Divine Phoenix Dynasty currently has only one Supreme Emperor in the Primordial Stage…”
“Qingyun Daozong has been hiding its strength for a long time… concealed for thousands of years, just waiting for the emergence of a heavenly prodigy like Lin Ang.”
At this moment, in Eternal Night City, Sect Master Qingyun and several Supreme Elders, seeing Patriarch Qingyun arrive in person, were filled with incomparable shock and admiration, as if witnessing a true god!
This old man was the patron saint of the entire Qingyun Dao Sect! If not for Lin Ang, the Patriarch would certainly not have appeared in his true form!
“Welcome, Patriarch!!” Thousands of Qingyun Daozong disciples bowed, their voices loud and clear, echoing through the world!
In mid-air, Daoist Qingyun smiled, his appearance no different from an ordinary old man. He simply waved his hand, yet it shattered the void for ten thousand li, leaving behind numerous black cracks.
Daoist Qingyun chuckled, “Hahaha. This old man has been too quiet and wanted some exercise. Today, I’ll stretch my muscles and bones, and reclaim my Qingyun Daozong’s dignity in the process.”
He then looked at the four masters of the superpowers standing in the distance. “Do you gentlemen have any objections?”
The masters of the various superpowers, their expressions shifting, could only bow their hands. “Naturally.”
“Senior, please…”
Originally, they had only planned to kill Lin Ang, not to escalate the situation into a sect war. After all, if several Primordial Realm powerhouses fought, even the Holy Land would intervene, and other regions would be watching. By then, the entire Northern Realm might be destroyed.
At this moment, Patriarch Qingyun’s gaze fell upon Lin Ang. His lifespan was nearly exhausted, and every time his true body descended, it consumed his remaining years. However, after seeing Lin Ang, Patriarch Qingyun’s slightly tired old face finally showed a look of relief.
Patriarch Qingyun said, “Not bad… not bad… My Qingyun Daoist sect has produced a true dragon…”
Lin Ang, naturally understanding the meaning of Patriarch Qingyun’s protection, replied, “I have seen my ancestor.”
Patriarch Qingyun nodded and casually waved his hand, grasping a distant section of space. It transformed into a thousand-foot-long bodhi leaf, carrying all the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect, lifting them from the ice sea, and floating above the void.
Pinching fingers into leaves, the Dao rhyme flowed naturally.
‘He is indeed a powerhouse in the Primordial Realm. The power of space has been utilized to the extreme…’
‘Pinching fingers to form a bodhi leaf. Mobilizing the power of space…’ Lin Ang mused with some exclamation in his heart.
“Old Ancestor… Sovereign Master… Supreme Elder.”
