Chapter 1751: Chapter 1430
Tracing and Duplicating the Great Dao?
Itâs known that the Inscription Dao Immortal from the Nameless Realm, as rumored, could only use True Immortal Seal Characters to describe various Daos. Yet this Chu Youhong can achieve such feats?
Li Fan, upon hearing this, was instinctively skeptical.
And Chu Youhongâs response seemed to confirm his judgment.
Chu Youhong smiled wryly: âI was lucky to retain a trace of Dao marks, amidst the anomaly when the Nameless True Immortal fell, and the Dao returned to Heaven and EarthâŠâ
âBesides, without the assistance of this Heaven Brush Paint in my hand, it would be impossible. Brother Lu, thereâs no need to flatter me.â
âHowever, your Divine Technique of mending the heavens with a single hand is truly known by everyone in the Sea of the Northern Stars.â
The white-clothed cultivator with the surname Lu did not refute the praise from Chu Youhong, and merely showed a faint smile.
Chu Youhong shifted the conversation back to the main topic: âThe Nameless True Immortal who acted in the shadows earlier was indeed strange. Though unable to fully depict the Daoist scenery, I can still clearly sense the traces left by the Daoâs flow. HoweverâŠâ
Chu Youhongâs expression became somewhat serious: âSilent and soundless. Not at all like the strike of a True Immortal from the Nameless Realm. Even the weight of the traces left doesnât match a usual True Immortal.â
The Lu surnamed cultivator nodded in agreement: âThatâs also why I sought to have a private discussion with you, Brother Chu. I think, either the one who acted was not a Nameless True Immortal, or the Nameless True Immortal has found a way to conceal their traces within the [Dao Network].â
The two exchanged a glance: âWhichever it is, itâs not a good sign for us.â
âNot a Nameless True Immortal, yet able to easily escape our encirclement, with real combat strength no less than that in the Nameless Realm. Itâs this new power system that has been our greatest concern. After all, all the methods we have concluded so far target the [Immortals]. Once the [Immortals] break free from their past shackles, even if it means starting anew, correspondingly, we have to face entirely new unknown adversaries.â
âAs for concealing [Dao Network] traces.â A hint of worry flickered between Chu Youhongâs brows.
The white-clothed cultivator looked back at the vibrant Sea of the Northern Stars: âThe last time when trying to hunt down the Nameless, we failed and suffered heavy losses. Some have begun to stir. Itâs hard to say if this isnât someoneâs pledge of allegiance. If those True Immortals gain the means to hide and manipulate the Dao Network, it will be dire!â
âThe Dao Network patterns must also be revised. BesidesâŠâ
The Lu surnamed cultivator glanced at Chu Youhong: âI must trouble you, Brother Chu, to secretly inform Yong of Ten Thousand Age, Senior Wan.â
âAfter all, this elder has a peculiar temperament. Since you come from the same world, you can barely communicate with him.â
Chu Youhong felt a bit troubled, but eventually nodded: âNow with the Sea of the Northern Stars leaderless, and facing threats from other places, indeed a senior capable of uniting everyone is needed to lead.â
âAlthough I was harshly beaten the last time I disturbed Senior Wan, considering weâre both cultivators from the Xuanhuang World, surely he wonât truly harm me.â Chu Youhong muttered to himself while flying towards the Sea of the Northern Stars with the white-clothed cultivator.
In just a moment, their figures disappeared.
Li Fan pondered their recent conversation while directing the Dream Tentacle to the previous battlefield where everyone had fought.
Generally, after a battle between masters, there are always traces, fluctuations, and aura left behind. But upon careful observation of this hunt against the True Immortal, Li Fan found not a single trace remaining.
Itâs as if the great battle never occurred.
âAside from the actions of that white-clothed cultivator [mending the heavens], consuming all the remnants to reinforce the Dao here. In the unseen realms, as if something concurrently absorbed the residual power.â
After much investigation, Li Fan faintly drew a conclusion.
He couldnât help but think of the [Dao Network] mentioned by Chu Youhong and the white-clothed cultivator.
âDao Network, though this term never appeared in Qin Zhuangâs spirit consciousness, it might be something that emerged in the Sea of the Northern Stars after he went to the Xuanhuang World. But as the name implies, itâs clearly related to the interwoven net of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.â
âThe Nameless True Immortal is one with a Dao, and every action would inevitably leave traces in the Dao Network. This is expected. Yet, Chu Youhong mentioned they can alter the [Dao Network]?â
Li Fanâs eyes showed a contemplative gaze.
The dialogue between Chu Youhong and the white-clothed cultivator, though brief, contained a considerable amount of information.
First, the hunt against the True Immortal resulted in heavy losses. It indicated that the battle between the Sea of the Northern Stars and the True Immortal wasnât one-sided. The Sea of the Northern Stars is leaderless, as if all the upper echelon is engaged in some critical affair.
Second, aside from the Sea of the Northern Stars, there are other forces, perhaps within another starry sky surrounding the Oblivion Land. They are eyeing the Sea of the Northern Stars warily. The situation of the Sea of the Northern Stars doesnât seem optimistic.
Third, the words of the white-clothed cultivator clearly suggest he knows that Chu Youhong hails from the Xuanhuang World. And the mentioned Yong of Ten Thousand Age, who also comes from the Xuanhuang WorldâŠ
Li Fan frowned deeply.
âYong of Ten Thousand Age, the founding master of the Beast Taming Sect. An old acquaintance of Emperor Tri-Moa, one who once comprehended the unparalleled Beast Taming True Technique from the Beast Commanding Wheel.â
âThose who can make Emperor Tri-Moa choose allegiance are all exceptionally talented. But this Yong of Ten Thousand Age, wasnât he already fallen in my memory?â
