232: Decide

Subsequently, the three exchanged glances, thoroughly settling the matter.

"Since that's the case, then we shall summon all Disciples and attack the Endless Sea in three days."

The Grand Elder below, upon hearing this, immediately bowed in Rei.

However, at this moment,

the three Sacred Ancestors suddenly looked at everyone and asked with a strange expression,

"Why haven't I seen the Saint?"

"Where did the Saint go? I just had the same question. It's a bit against the rules for him not to come and see us after we've come out of seclusion, isn't it?"

The remaining Sacred Ancestor, although not speaking, clearly had a displeased expression.

Although the Saint's status was high, at the end of the day, he was only on a similar level to the Grand Elder.

Now that the three of them had emerged from seclusion, such an action was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Unless there was some other reason.

The Grand Elder on the side couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh upon hearing this.

"There was something I intended to report, but it was delayed slightly due to the matters concerning the Endless Sea."

"The Saint has been missing for a long time. No matter how hard we search, there has been no news of him to this day."

"Missing?"

Yao Guang's Second Ancestor was somewhat surprised.

Then, with a slight frown, his figure flickered and he arrived at the palace where the Yaoguang Holy Son originally resided.

Within his eyes, divine and unusual colors continuously emerged, as if he was performing a divination.

A moment later, his expression darkened.

"He has indeed been missing for over two years, and I still cannot deduce his current whereabouts."

The other Grand Elders also followed.

Among the other two Sacred Ancestors, one also frowned.

"Not being able to deduce his whereabouts means only two possibilities: either he has met with misfortune, or there is a secret treasure that conceals his Karma."

The three exchanged glances, and the next moment, they directly arrived within the Soul Hall.

They retrieved the Soul Lamp that originally belonged to the Yaoguang Holy Son and examined the Soul Power seed memories left within it.

However, upon the first touch, the expressions of several people completely turned ugly.

"This is not his Divine Soul imprint! There's a problem here."

Yao Guang's Third Ancestor shouted loudly.

The other two also had ugly expressions, and a moment later, they said in a deep voice,

"No wonder I always felt that on that day, Wang Dong pursued our Holy Master of Yao Guang so relentlessly."

"It must be for some other reason. This Yaoguang Holy Son is not right; his Divine Soul imprint is not the same as what I knew in the past."

"Was he taken by Possession, or was he an undercover agent from the start?"

"Possession, undercover... Regardless of which, it is not a good thing for our Yaoguang Holy Land. Perhaps the conquest of the Endless Sea is also within his calculations. It's just that we don't know who has such intentions towards us."

Yao Guang's First Ancestor's eyes flickered.

Looking at the Soul Lamp in his hand, his expression was uncertain.

"Enough! There's no point in discussing this matter further. Since this person has already left the Yaoguang Holy Land, it might not be a bad thing for us."

"What we should do now is to march on the Endless Sea, with all Disciples mobilized!"

"Yes!"

The Grand Elder responded again, then was about to turn and leave.

But at this moment, one of the Sacred Ancestors called out to him.

"Wang Dong is detestable, but the Yaoguang Holy Son's actions are even more like shitting on our faces."

"Issue my Sacred Order: The Yaoguang Holy Son is to be wanted throughout the Five Regions."

"Anyone who can provide accurate information will be rewarded with 100,000 catties of spiritual source. If he can be captured, dead or alive, he will receive one million catties of spiritual source, and furthermore, he can enter our Yaoguang Holy Land for cultivation."

As these words were spoken, everyone present gasped.

However, they did not refute it.

At the same time,

Ancient Saints appeared everywhere in the world.

Even within the Demon Domain, many Royal Clans emerged from the Primordial Divine Mountain.

The world gradually became chaotic.

Friction and conflict were constant everywhere.

It seemed intent on stirring up a bloody storm.

This day,

above the Yaochi Holy Land in the Southern Region,

a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

The dense Sage Way Law Power between heaven and earth completely overshadowed everything.

Everyone covered within it had their expressions drastically change.

"It is the complete Sage Way Law Power, a complete Ancient Saint, not a Half-Saint who has only initially grasped Law Power."

There was actually an Ancient Saint sealed within the Yaochi Holy Land.

Many beings had moved expressions.

A supreme powerhouse of this level was no longer someone they could discuss.

And looking at the intensity of the Sage Way Law's eruption, it was not an elderly Saint on the verge of death.

He was still in his prime.

Having been sealed until today, he probably had aspirations to contend for the Emperor's throne.

Could it be that this elderly Ancient Saint could ascend to the Emperor's throne with a damaged body, ending this Golden Age?

One must know that currently, Prodigies are like Dragons throughout the world, emerging like bamboo shoots after rain.

Once someone proves the Dao to become a Great Emperor, without a doubt, for these young people, their path forward would be severed.

It would bring an end to this entire Golden Age, an act that would be scorned by the world.

But then again, the victor is king.

Of course, there might be one exception: a Chaos Body can still prove the Dao and become Emperor even without relying on the supreme heavenly heart.

That would be an exception.

Within the Yaochi Holy Land,

an ancient figure walked out from her Small World.

The moment she stepped out, countless spaces and times behind her were annihilated.

Her figure was majestic, and between the opening and closing of her eyes, countless Sage Way Law Powers suppressed heaven and earth.

Just a corner of her robe was like an unrivaled killing array, capable of suppressing the world.

She slowly walked, her white hair like a waterfall, her face exquisitely beautiful.

At first glance, she appeared to be only in her early twenties, exuding unparalleled grace.

"Greetings, Sacred Ancestor."

The West Queen Mother led a group of Grand Elders, who had long been waiting there.

Even the Saintess Yao Yue stepped forward to bow.

Sacred Ancestor Gong Xue nodded gently.

Between the opening and closing of her eyes, profound age was evident, and her tone was neither sad nor joyful.

It was clearly extremely calm.

Indeed, it was so.

Having lived through countless years until today, along this journey, countless fellow Daoists had perished in the erosion of time.

By now, perhaps only a few people she knew remained in the world.

Her reappearance now was merely out of a sense of responsibility.

Her aged gaze turned towards the West Queen Mother, with a momentary surprise, then she nodded gently.

"Not bad, you're actually at the Half-Saint level. A Grandmaster was considered a generation's hero even in this one's era."

"Sacred Ancestor overpraises. The suppression of heaven and earth Laws was lifted a few days ago, which allowed for this fortunate Breakthrough."

The West Queen Mother bowed.

Gong Xue nodded, not wasting any more time on this matter.

She sat gently on the main seat, then spoke softly,

"Tell me, what has happened in Yaochi recently."

"Reporting to Sacred Ancestor."

"Recently, no major events have occurred in the Yaochi Holy Land. Only, there have been frequent Primordial Beings emerging from the Primordial Ancient Mine, and I am concerned that they might have contact with the ancient beings of the Demon Domain."

"Our Yaochi Holy Land, situated here, might face some crisis."

Gong Xue frowned, then nodded a moment later.

"Perhaps war is about to break out in the world. The Primordial Royal Clan regards themselves highly, and there are also those few Ancient Emperor Bloodlines. I imagine a disturbance will come sooner or later."
