Seated in the main seat, the leader of the Daode Immortal Sect spoke.
"The Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Black Gauze Archipelago have just perished."
Mu Mengting dared not conceal anything and immediately spoke up.
The eyes of the Daode Immortal Sect leader turned cold.
The Daode Immortal Sect leader suddenly stood up.
Above the head of the Daode Immortal Sect leader,
a mirror emitting boundless light and ages appeared.
A beam of light, as if penetrating through time and space, shot out from the highest place of the Daode Immortal Sect, and in just a few moments, it descended in front of the Black Gauze Archipelago in the East Sea.
Above the clouds, Lin Yuan, who was "relishing," slightly changed his expression and looked up toward the terrifying 'mirror light' coming from the Daode Immortal Sect.
His figure silently disappeared.
The mirror light arrived.
It transformed into a phantom.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the appearance of the Daode Immortal Sect leader.
The phantom looked down at the Black Gauze Archipelago, which had been transformed into a sea of fire, swept its icy gaze around, and with a cold snort, disappeared without a trace.
Tens of thousands of miles away.
Lin Yuanyang's Yang Spirit appeared.
"Is that the Founding Artefact of the Sect, the Taihao Immortal Mirror?"
Lin Yuan's expression grew somewhat solemn as he thought to himself.
Using his Yang Spirit form, it took him half a month to fly from the Cloud Mist Blessed Land to the East Sea.
But the leader of the Daode Immortal Sect, with the help of the Taihao Immortal Mirror, arrived in the East Sea in just a few moments?
Is the Daode Immortal Sect leader that powerful?
The Daode Immortal Sect leader is only at the Refining Illusionary and Hollow Realm, equivalent to the sixth rank, fourth to ninth layer of the main world.
He couldn't possibly have such terrifying speed.
All of this was due to the Founding Artefact of the Sect.
The Taihao Immortal Realm.
This immortal artifact's power is limitless, its mirror light capable of reaching any corner of the Central Divine Continent.
"No wonder twelve thousand years ago, the Blood Demon in the north, the Ghost Cultivator King in the south, and the Barbaric Demon Saint in the east, gathering the powers of three Refining Void Ancient Saints, wanted to initiate a decisive battle yet were still utterly defeated by the Daode Immortal Sect..."
Lin Yuan's thoughts surged.
"However, the one who just descended must not be the immortal sect leader himself, but an incarnation of the immortal mirror, and crossing such a long distance must also entail considerable consumption..."
Lin Yuan analyzed in his heart.
Inside the great hall.
The Daode Immortal Sect leader, who had stood up, watched as the mirror above his head slowly disappeared.
The Daode Immortal Sect leader then sat back down.
Mu Mengting couldn't help but ask.
At that moment, he was extremely heartbroken, for he had spent many years cultivating the Black Gauze Archipelago.
The dozen or so Divinity Transformation Heaven Lords and dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not only his subordinates, nurtured over many years, and unrelated to the Daode Immortal Sect, but their use in the Eastern Sea Islands was also irreplaceable.
The Daode Immortal Sect disdained the Eastern Sea Islands because they were resource-poor and unnecessary to occupy.
But resource-poor, in comparison to the Daode Immortal Sect, for a cultivator who could hold even a small part of the Eastern Sea Islands in their grip, the benefits were still remarkably substantial.
This, Mu Mengting had deeply experienced over the years.
They didn't know how much effort it took to barely cultivate more than a dozen Divinity Transformation Heaven Lords, all of which were now lost.
"The person has fled."
The Daode Immortal Sect leader shook his head slightly.
everyone present showed a look of shock.
Even Mu Mengting, despite his extreme heartache, had his pupils contract.
The Sect Master had activated the Founding Artefact of the Sect, the Taihao Immortal Mirror, with its boundless and unmatched power, yet the person who destroyed the Black Gauze Archipelago had escaped?
The Daode Immortal Sect leader's mind stirred.
A series of illusory images appeared above the great hall.
Just now, although he hadn't captured the chief culprit, he had 'traced' back part of the scene based on the residual aura left on the field.
All the people in the great hall looked towards the scene displayed.
Black Gauze Archipelago, waters rippling.
The scene showed the Black Gauze Archipelago in a state of tranquility.
At that moment, high above the clouds, a figure had appeared, unbeknownst to anyone.
The figure was hazy and indistinct, its specific shape and appearance unclear, merely gazing silently downward at the Black Gauze Archipelago.
Under everyone's watchful eyes,
the blurry figure above the clouds slowly extended its right hand.
In an instant, the scene began to distort. Infinite Fire System power continuously converged in the right hand of the blurry figure, forming a mini-sun composed of massive amounts of Taiyang True Fire.
The brilliance and heat of the mini-sun were nearly parallel to that of the great sun in the sky.
The next scene chilled everyone's heart even more.
The person above the clouds simply tossed the 'mini-sun' in their hand towards the Black Gauze Archipelago.
"What a terrifying Fire System Dao technique," remarked an elder with golden, lion-maned curls, unable to contain his astonishment.
Just within a moment's breathing time, to condense such huge Taiyang True Fire not only points to the reason of strong cultivation realm but also indicates a terrifying control over the Power of Taiyang.
"Since when did such a powerful being appear in the East Sea?" asked the Daode Immortal Sect Leader from the higher seat, furrowing his brows.
Considering the power demonstrated by that blurry figure, it had already reached Mahayana Perfection and was even beginning to infinitely approach the Refining Void Ancient Saint Layer.
"Pay more attention to this person," said the Daode Immortal Sect Leader.
"Yes," the crowd below responded in unison.
"Xiaoyao Zhilan, you two should just stay inside the sect and not go out in the near future," Mu Lian'er glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan and transmitted her voice, "If you encounter this person, don't even think about resisting, just use your lifesaving measures and run."
After giving her instructions, Mu Lian'er's gaze turned to Lin Yuan, who looked exceedingly well-behaved sitting nearby.
"You two, learn more from Wuji and don't always think about going out. How dangerous is it outside? Wuji is very good, spending all his days inside Cloud Mist Blessed Land, not going anywhere."
Mu Lian'er looked at her youngest son with relief.
Although Jun Wuji had no Spirit Root, he was much steadier, at least not causing her any worry.
The Hollow Void Realm ceremony ended.
Lin Yuan left accompanied by the farewells of Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan.
He returned to Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
"Little brother, we are heading back first," said Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan, bidding him farewell before hastily departing.
The appearance of a mysterious figure skilled in Fire System Dao techniques in the East Sea had caught the attention of the Daode Immortal Sect, and they needed to discuss how to deal with this powerful entity.
The Daode Immortal Sect, known for its dominating actions, absolutely didn't allow the emergence of a being beyond their control.
News came from the East Sea.
Baiyu Island was about to appear.
Baiyu Island was an extraordinarily unique island. It was akin to a blessed paradise of the East Sea, teeming with thick Spiritual Energy, making it a sacred ground for cultivation.
However, Baiyu Island was not immobile; it would sink into the deep sea every two thousand years.
Deep sea bottoms, perilously dangerous, were home to ancient Demonic Beasts that have survived from tens of thousands of years ago.
Thus, each time Baiyu Island sank, cultivators on the island could only leave, not even Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords dared to sink together with Baiyu Island.
The depths of the sea harbored terrifying sea pressures, and even the Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords' powers were hindered, let alone those unfathomable ancient beasts.
Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords would find their scalps tingling with fear.
It had been two thousand years since the last time Baiyu Island submerged; calculating the time, the island was due to resurface soon.
When the time arrived, Baiyu Island, carrying two thousand years' worth of accumulated thick Spiritual Energy, would return to the East Sea.
Given that the East Sea was originally not rich in Spiritual Energy, only a few dozen suitable places for cultivation existed, most of which were occupied by hundreds of secondary doors and three thousand Left Paths.
Now with the impending appearance of Baiyu Island, countless East Sea cultivators were preparing eagerly, hoping to secure a Cultivation Cave Dwelling on Baiyu Island.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
Inside the cultivation chamber.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his Inner Qi undergoing gradual changes, seeming to be transforming bit by bit.
as if reaching a certain limit,
Lin Yuan's entire being surged in aura, which then quickly settled down.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
