430: Battle with Heavenly King Li Jing

The seven-colored pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth; in the Immortal Realm, and even in other great realms, billions of living beings looked up and could all feel the supreme power of the Heavenly Dao contained within it.

Spiritual energy, like spring rain, nourished every inch of land; withered trees came back to life, spiritual springs gushed forth, and Cultivators who had been unable to Breakthrough their Bottlenecks for many years experienced Epiphanies and broke through their realms.

This was the immense power brought about by the Heavenly Dao being fully restored.

However, beneath this scene of heaven and earth's blessing, undercurrents surged.

The Endless Land, the Boundless Sky!

In the depths of the North Sea, within a palace sealed by ice for eons, a pair of ancient eyes slowly opened: "Tai Hao's aura, but not entirely. Has a Reincarnation appeared?"

In the Southern Wild Monster Domain, atop an ancient towering tree, a woman in a verdant green dress gently stroked a jade rabbit in her arms, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "The Heavenly Dao has been restored. It seems the Reincarnation has awakened his memories. Alas, I truly don't know whether the awakening of Tai Hao's Reincarnation at this time is a blessing or a curse."

In the Western Heaven Buddhist Land, ancient temple bells chimed on their own, and a golden Buddha held a flower without speaking, only a soft sigh echoed through the hall: "Karma arises and perishes, consequences are self-inflicted. Give the order, the great tribulation is approaching!"

And beneath the ruins of the Immortal Palace, the beings sealed within the Divine Source began to stir restlessly.

Evidently, the power from earlier had affected these beings.

Terrifying auras seeped out through the cracks, causing the recently calmed space to vibrate once more.

Inside the cave, Ye Xuan's brow glowed with a seven-colored divine pattern, and his body exuded a natural Dao rhythm, having already established a mystical connection with the Tree of Heavenly Dao.

Through this connection, he could perceive the anomalies occurring in various parts of the Immortal Realm, especially the ancient auras awakening in the direction of the Immortal Palace.

"It seems we have no time to rest."

Ye Xuan withdrew his perception, his gaze solemn as he looked towards the Immortal Palace.

"Those sealed beings are awakening."

A complex expression flashed in Yue Xuan's silver eyes: "Some of them were Tai Hao's comrades-in-arms, who were severely wounded and had to be sealed in the Divine Source to prolong their lives, hoping to gain the power of the Great Dao and recover their strength in the future. Others were formidable enemies that could not be eliminated, personally suppressed by Tai Hao."

"The former, over these years, have probably long been corrupted by Heavenly Demons. Even if some of their sentience remains, they are likely... But, regardless of which type, their awakening could cause great upheaval."

Fire Linger wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her nine-colored flames reignited: "Then let's prepare before they fully awaken! We can make the first move, and quickly resolve it while they haven't fully recovered."

Ye Xuan did not speak immediately; he simply stepped forward to Tang Linglong and gently stroked the broken sword in her hand. The cracks slowly healed under the nourishment of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Tang Linglong felt this immense power.

"Your Sword Intent seems to have become even more refined."

She realized that after what had just happened, Ye Xuan's strength seemed to have grown even greater.

Ye Xuan nodded, reaching out to gently press the Tree of Heavenly Dao: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Whatever their purpose, we should not rush."

With a thought, the Tree of Heavenly Dao scattered countless specks of light. These specks of light intertwined in the air, forming profound runes that merged into the four walls of the cave.

The entire cave was instantly enveloped by a layer of seven-colored light, completely isolating its aura from the outside world.

"This is a barrier set up with the power of the Heavenly Dao. Unless one's strength far surpasses mine, they cannot perceive or enter this place,"

Ye Xuan explained.

"You all should heal and recuperate here first. I will go investigate the situation at the Immortal Palace."

"I will go with you."

Yue Xuan immediately said, "I know the origins of those sealed ones best. I will go with you, so if anything happens, I can remind you in time."

"Let's go together too."

Tang Linglong and Fire Linger also said in unison.

"Your injuries are not light. Recover here first. The Heavenly Dao barrier needs someone to maintain it. Ling'er, your Nirvana Fire and Linglong's Sword Intent are both crucial. And most importantly, Jin Yao is still unconscious; she needs someone to take care of her. I will only be at ease if you stay here."

"Alright, go and return quickly. Also, be careful in everything, never overexert yourself. If anything happens, come back and we'll discuss it. You must be careful."

Although Tang Linglong was a bit reluctant, she still urged.

"Sister is right, you must be careful."

Fire Linger also quickly spoke.

Although the two women were reluctant, they understood that the Heavenly Dao barrier, with the Tree of Heavenly Dao as its core, consumed Ye Xuan's power, but still needed them to maintain it.

Ye Xuan and Yue Xuan exchanged glances and left together.

When they reappeared, the two were already standing in the Immortal Palace.

Everything here was still as usual, as if the great battle from before had never happened.

But Ye Xuan and Yue Xuan could feel many powerful forces slowly awakening.

Yue Xuan raised her hand, and in an instant, a water mirror appeared before them. The figures of those sealed in the Divine Source deep within the Immortal Palace also appeared in the water mirror.

Yue Xuan pointed to the nearest Divine Source: "That is War King Li Jing, Tai Hao's foremost general. He was severely wounded while covering Tai Hao in sealing the Heavenly Demons, and had to be sealed in the Divine Source to prolong his life."

Ye Xuan followed the direction of Yue Xuan's finger and gazed intently, seeing a majestic man in military attire within the Divine Source. Even in his slumber, he exuded a towering Battle Intent.

Although only a trace of power was leaked, the immense power could still be felt.

However, this name made Ye Xuan want to laugh a little.

"Haha, then does he also have a son named Nezha!"

Ye Xuan chuckled.

"What Nezha? War King has no descendants. Although he had a wife, she has already perished."

Yue Xuan evidently did not know Ye Xuan's thoughts and explained.

"Oh, it's nothing, nothing."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

"Over there is Ziwei Fairy."

Yue Xuan pointed to another spot.

"She once had feelings for Tai Hao. Because she couldn't achieve her Dao, her Dao Heart was damaged, and she nearly fell into the Demonic Path, so she was personally sealed by Tai Hao."

Ye Xuan's gaze fell upon that woman.

She was an extremely beautiful woman. Even in slumber within the Divine Source, her brows still carried an unresolvable sorrow.

Moreover, her temperament and appearance seemed somewhat similar to Tang Linglong's.

"That one also loved you. She was saved by you back then, but you were always uninterested in us. That woman turned into a demon in a single thought, misled by a Gu to attack you. You didn't kill her; you just sealed her."

Yue Xuan pointed to another equally beautiful woman and said to Ye Xuan.

"A life fraught with twists and turns."

Ye Xuan sighed.

And these people...

Yue Xuan successively pointed out the origins of seven or eight sealed beings, each of whom was a powerful individual who had once dominated an era.

Some of these people were Tai Hao's subordinates, some were his enemies.

The more Ye Xuan listened, the more alarmed he became.

If these beings were to awaken simultaneously, the Immortal Realm would likely face a great upheaval.

"The most troublesome ones are those few."

Yue Xuan's expression was solemn as she pointed to the deepest part of the ruins, where three Divine Sources emitted particularly terrifying auras.
