137: Chapter 137 Cangxuan Daozun

The others from the Xuanyun Sect.

After seeing the scene before them, they all wore faces of confusion...

Could it be?

Does their Xuanyun Sect have other powerful experts behind it?

Although they did not understand.

It did not affect their actions!

Since their own Sect Master and the old Sect Master were both kneeling, they naturally had no reason to continue standing by and watching the spectacle.

At this very moment.

Everyone.

They all knelt down one after another and began to pray aloud.

"We respectfully invite Senior to manifest and protect our Xuanyun Sect!"

"We respectfully invite Senior to manifest and protect our Xuanyun Sect!"

...

For a time.

The sound of prayers resounded throughout the entire heavens and earth.

In reality.

If the Divine Martial Guard and the others had been willing, True Master Yun Lan and the others would never have had the chance to pray!

Not to mention anything else.

Just The Five Great Dharma Kings alone possessed the strength to crush the entire Xuanyun Sect; if they did not want to, True Master Yun Lan and the others would not even have had the slightest chance to resist!

However.

Just as The Five Great Dharma Kings were about to strike and suppress them, Wang Chen's voice transcended time and space, appearing directly in their minds and stopping their actions.

Wang Chen's thought was very simple.

If his own side's strength was insufficient, he certainly could not give the opponent a chance to call for reinforcements; he had to cut the Gordian knot and crush the opponent immediately.

However.

Things were different now.

He had a trump card that feared nothing; if the opponent really had a backer behind them, he would just lure them out and resolve it all at once!

His Domain Realm Experience Card.

He had to find a way to make good use of it; given the strength of the Xuanyun Sect, the person they could consider a backer should at the very least have the strength of the Domain Realm...

Using it on them.

Would not be a waste...

It was precisely for this reason.

When the members of the Xuanyun Sect were praying sincerely, the Divine Martial Guard did not stop them; they just watched from the side as if watching a play.

It was not just the Divine Martial Guard.

Even Wang Chen had been monitoring everything inside the Xuanyun Sect from afar!

Meanwhile.

In the center of a distant Star Domain.

A vast great world called the "Taigu Realm" lay across the core region of the endless sea of stars.

The size of this world.

Was enough to contain thousands of Xingyuan Continents!

The strength of this world.

A third-rate Sect walking out from within it could sweep across an Intermediate world!

This was the true cradle of the strong, a stage where only Domain Realm big shots could claim supremacy, and a legendary land that countless Cultivators could not reach even if they exhausted their entire lives.

Taigu Realm.

Eastern Region.

Deep within the Cangxuan Mountain Range.

An ancient palace made entirely of Star Essence Gold was towering and suspended above the ten-thousand-zhang sea of clouds.

Around the palace.

Hundreds of millions of star phantoms were flowing, and the power of Law condensed into substance, transforming into streaks of seven-colored rays of light.

Setting off the entire palace as if it were the dwelling of a deity in myths and legends.

Deep within the palace.

A figure that had been sitting cross-legged for who knew how many tens of thousands of years suddenly opened its eyes.

In that instant.

A terrifying power of Law erupted with a boom, and within the entire palace, everything except that figure turned into nothingness, not even excluding space itself!

And that pair of eyes.

Were as deep as if they contained the entire starry sky, and as weathered as if they had witnessed the life and death Reincarnation of countless worlds.

He just lifted his eyes gently.

The surrounding Void Realm began to distort and retreat automatically, as if even space itself dared not withstand his gaze.

This person.

Was none other than one of the few powerful experts in the Eastern Region of the Taigu Realm — Daoist Master Cangxuan.

A dignified Late Stage Domain Realm big shot!

Furthermore.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, he had already stepped into the Late Stage Domain Realm and had carved out a prestigious reputation in the Taigu Realm.

His retreat this time.

Was to comprehend a higher Realm, attempting to Breakthrough to the Peak Domain Realm and become an existence that truly stood at the Peak of this Star Domain!

However.

The Realm had not yet been broken through.

He had suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hmm?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Who is praying to this Venerable One?"

As a Domain Realm big shot.

His Divine Thought had long been connected with the Dao Law of this Star Domain; within the entire Star Domain, whenever someone called out to him with a pious heart, he could faintly sense a trace of Karma fluctuation.

This kind of sensing.

Transcended the sea of stars.

Ignoring any distance!

However, the call that could trigger his sensing must be an existence that had a direct Karma connection with him.

Otherwise.

The myriad worlds were filled with endless living beings; if everyone's prayers could reach his ears, would he not have been annoyed to death long ago?

And at this moment.

He had indeed sensed it.

That call came from the border of an extremely distant Star Domain, from a place he had almost long forgotten...

"Xingyuan Continent? Xuanyun Sect?"

A trace of trance flashed in Daoist Master Cangxuan's eyes.

One had to know.

The passage of hundreds of thousands of years was truly too long.

So long that he had almost forgotten, so long that many former acquaintances had long since turned into dust.

However.

The moment the three words "Xuanyun Sect" appeared, a blurry figure appeared in his mind for the first time.

That was a young man with mediocre Aptitude but who was extremely diligent.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when he was traveling through the Star Domain and passing by the Xingyuan Continent, he had casually accepted a Named Disciple.

Although that Disciple's Aptitude was not outstanding, he excelled in diligence and sincerity!

He was just acting on a whim at the time, so he casually gave a few pointers and, in passing, passed on a Cultivation Technique he had created himself to the other party.

Later.

After he left the Xingyuan Continent and returned to the Taigu Realm, he had thrown the matter to the back of his mind.

For a Domain Realm big shot like him.

This was just an insignificant little episode in his long life, not worth him taking seriously at all!

Now that hundreds of thousands of years had passed.

His Named Disciple had probably already fallen long ago...

"That Disciple was named... Yun Ding?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan muttered to himself.

That Named Disciple, whom he had originally almost forgotten, now appeared clearly in his mind once again.

As a Domain Realm big shot.

As long as it was something he had experienced, he could find it again from the depths of his memory at any time!

As he recalled.

Everything about that Named Disciple of his also became clear.

The Xuanyun Sect that was praying to him at this moment.

Was precisely founded by his Named Disciple Yun Ding back then!

"It seems that the Dao lineage left behind by Yun Ding has encountered a great crisis, otherwise they would not be praying to this Venerable One."

Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression was calm, and there was no great fluctuation in his eyes.

It was just the Dao lineage of a Named Disciple; to him, it was originally an insignificant thing.

So many years had passed.

Even his Disciple himself had long since turned into dry bones, so why should he care about a small Sect that did not have much to do with him?

However...

After a slight pause, he finally sighed and said.

"Very well."

"Although he was only a Named Disciple, there was eventually a bit of Karma between us. Since they still remember this Venerable One and are praying sincerely, if this Venerable One were to ignore them, it would seem too cold and indifferent."

"Besides..."

His gaze pierced through the palace, pierced through the Cangxuan Mountain Range, pierced through the boundary wall of the Taigu Realm, and cast towards the depths of the endlessly distant sea of stars.

"This Venerable One has been in retreat for hundreds of thousands of years; it is time to stretch my muscles and bones."

"Otherwise! Many people must have forgotten this Venerable One's invincible reputation..."
