I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1766

Chapter 1766: Chapter 768: Ambush Plan, Donghuang Ancestor Court_2 Chapter 1766: Chapter 768: Ambush Plan, Donghuang Ancestor Court_2 For instance, if a Heavenly Venerate were to leave from the edge of the Daoist God Continent without concealing their form, then the mountain ranges, wetlands, and trees along this edge would all have recorded their departing figure. Should a Dao Realm Cultivator pass by, they could extract these ‘traces’ that had been recorded.

Because of this,
The reach of Purple Mountain spread throughout the Nine Great Dao Domains, covering every corner.

Indeed, after only three breaths, Yuan Qi Venerable’s eyes returned to normal, then said,
“I have it, the answers to both of your questions, Daoist. However, these two pieces of news are related to Ancient Artifacts and Heavenly Venerates, hence they require a significant number of Tao Crystals. I trust you understand.”

Upon hearing this, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s face lit up with joy. He had been prepared for the cost of seeking answers to his two questions.

After some negotiation, he agreed and paid with Tao Crystals. Then, he received a jade stone, which carried the answers to the two questions he had asked.

He did not leave but instead absorbed the information from the jade stone. Then, a look of realization flashed across his eyes.

The first question concerned the Great True Sacred Sword which, after leaving the battlefield near the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, had unexpectedly encountered another Heavenly Venerate–that was Lu Jiuxiao, a Venerable of the Peak level.

Subsequently, Lu Jiuxiao took action, directly subdued the Great True Sacred Sword, and claimed it for himself.

As for the details–whether Lu Jiuxiao acted on a whim or had some prior grievance or connection with the Great True Sacred Sword–remained unknown.

The second question involved the three Palace Masters of the True Holy Palace. Only two remained within the Dao God Sect, while the third, Heavenly Venerable Yu Chang, Second Palace Master of the True Holy Palace, had left the Daoist God Continent over a decade ago, seemingly heading back to the Fuheng Taoist Area.

The jade stone also mentioned that Heavenly Venerable Yu Chang had not actually returned to the Fuheng Taoist Area. Instead, along the way, near the Northern Boundary of the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, at a place called the Ten Thousand Burial Origin, they disappeared without a trace.

“The fact that Lu Jiuxiao obtained the Great True Sacred Sword somewhat reduces a major threat. Unless someone of Half-Step Transcend Level, similar to a Mountain Master, takes action, no Heavenly Venerate could wrest it from his control.”

“As for Heavenly Venerable Yu Chang leaving the Central Dao Region, passing by the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, and disappearing at Ten Thousand Burial Origin, that is indeed a clue.”

The eyes of Age Candle Heavenly Venerate flickered with resolve, ready to head to Ten Thousand Burial Origin. However, during his time on the Daoist God Continent, he had already briefly clashed with Yu Chang. Their strengths were not far apart, and neither could overcome the other. He did not intend to go by himself this time.

Although he had ascended to Heavenly Venerate not long ago, he had ventured into Chaos long before that. Over the years, he had made many friends, including cultivators of the same realm who had ascended to Heavenly Venerate before him.

With these Heavenly Venerates, he shared a certain camaraderie, and with such ’cause and effect’, a personal plea from him should compel them to assist.

With a determined gaze, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate bid farewell to Yuan Qi Venerable and, after making some arrangements, departed from Purple Mountain and stepped into Chaos.

His current location was within the Ancestral God Domain, and he just so happened to have two good friends residing on the Ancestral God Star. These two friends were both Godly Venerables. Should he invite them to act, they would likely agree without much difficulty.

Beyond that, within the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, he also had two Heavenly Venerate Daoist friends with whom he shared good relations.

Gathering the strength of five Heavenly Venerates, he did not believe that Heavenly Venerable Yu Chang could escape.

With many plans in mind, after leaving the reach of Purple Mountain, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate discerned the direction from the Star Chart and headed toward the Ancestral God Star.

…

Elsewhere,
Han Yi was unaware that the Second Palace Master of the Daoist God Continent’s True Holy Palace, Heavenly Venerable Yu Chang, had personally taken action and was preparing to hunt him down in the Fuheng Taoist Area. He was also oblivious to Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, who, after healing his wounds in Purple Mountain, intended to rally several Heavenly Venerate friends to block Yu Chang.

He was still uninformed of the events occurring in the Ancestral God Domain, Primordial Demon Dao Domain, and Central Dao Region.

At this moment, he was aboard a Taoist Boat, leaving the Xuzhan Great World and heading straight for the Eastern Realm’s Ancient Continent.

On this return journey, no accidents occurred.

Back in the Ancient Continent, Han Yi did not take the Chaos channel but instead infiltrated through the boundary wall, traversing the long void and landing in the Daluo from the Eastern Emperor Domain.

Choosing to land in the Eastern Emperor was also part of his plan; this time, he intended to step into the Donghuang Ancestor Court to explore.

Although he had been injured, the main damage was to his Tao Fruit; his Divine Aperture World had not been greatly affected. In the ten years it took to return to the Ancient Continent, his Divine Aperture World had already recovered under the influence of Creation and Infinite forces.

As for the Tao Fruit, it was only about ten percent repaired, far from being fully restored.

Of course, with the Gluttonous Sacrifice in hand and relying on High-level Infinite power, he was fearless of any existence below the level of Heavenly Venerate.

Additionally, the Yue Guang Ancient Device had been damaged, and he had one less trump card in his hand. His readiness to enter the Donghuang Ancestor Court was spurred by the possibility of acquiring something, albeit small, it was still something to look forward to.

After landing on the Ancient Continent, his figure flickered, transforming into a disguise of a Demon Venerable of the Evil Clan; then, he concealed his presence as he journeyed towards the Donghuang Ancestor Court.

The Donghuang Ancestor Court, located in the central eastern region of the Donghuang Evil Court, was only two Immortal Domains away from where he landed.

Han Yi easily spanned this distance and arrived at the Ancestor Court. From the outside, the Ancestor Court was shrouded in an immense Tao Array with terrifying power; a blow from it could severely wound or even kill a Tao Realm cultivator if it did not outright kill them.

Han Yi’s eyes gleamed a brilliant gold, pushing his Divine Pupil to its limit. Moments later, the golden glow subsided, and he had a clear understanding of the Tao Array. Indeed, this array was crafted by a figure at the Heavenly Sovereign level, by Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign himself.

However, the array didn’t contain much Chaotic Power, leading Han Yi to two speculations; either Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign had shortcomings in his achievement, managing Chaotic Power poorly, or, since Taiyi’s fall, the array had been deteriorating, lacking a core to sustain it.

In any case, the array posed a certain deterrence to those at the Unity Realm Stage, and it was no wonder that neither Purgatory Island nor the Void Demon Palace would dare to provoke the Eastern Emperor without a Heavenly Venerate taking action.

But for Han Yi, this Tao Array was not difficult to overcome, and even if he were discovered, the array at its maximum power would not be able to thwart him.

He could not help but think that since Donghuang Taiyi was not quite a perfect Heavenly Venerable, if he himself wielded the Yue Guang Ancient Device, could he have the strength to challenge him?

That thought quickly flashed through his mind and was then dismissed.

Putting aside other considerations, the mere Heavenly Venerate Ancient Artifacts that Donghuang Taiyi, an ancient Divine Spirit who achieved enlightenment during the Extreme Ancient Era and survived to this day, would be exceedingly powerful and in impeccable harmony with him; they were not something that Han Yi and Yue Guang could contend with.

He pushed these numerous thoughts to the back of his mind. His aura began to shift, aligning with the Tao Array, and then, with a flash, he slipped into the array.

If Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign were maintaining it, he wouldn’t dare to do this, but he knew that after Taiyi’s fall, the Demon Emperor Dijun had also left the Ancient Continent. The strongest being in this Demon Ancestor Court should be Kunpeng Taoist Ancestor. Even with Kunpeng Taoist Ancestor’s strength, if he controlled the array, he would fail to detect Han Yi.

As expected.

The Tao Light flickered; at the exact spot where Han Yi crossed, it paused, a pause lasting only one ten-thousandth of a moment–so subtle that it was nearly undetectable, imperceptible to anyone less than a Heavenly Venerate.

Once Han Yi stepped inside the Ancestor Court, he sensed three Tao Realm auras within, and he instantly understood. These three auras should belong to Kunpeng, Candle Dragon, and Lingming.

However, strictly speaking, only Kunpeng ascended to the rank of Taoist Ancestor before the Tao Tomb Ripple; the other two only reached that stage afterward.

Of the two, Lingming Taoist Ancestor was the fastest to ascend. When Han Yi initially came to the Daluo Immortal Realm, Lingming was still a Taiyi Evil King of the Evil Clan, powerful but far from the Tao Realm.

To span the realms from Demon Venerable to the Tao Realm in a mere ten thousand years, Lingming must have been a figure encompassing the entire Qi Fortune of the Evil Clan.

Of course, when compared to Han Yi, it was nowhere near enough.

At this moment, as he wandered through the Demon Ancestor Court, Han Yi sent a whisper of his thoughts into a Divine Aperture World. Inside, a golden egg vibrated ceaselessly, and from it, a direction was communicated to his thoughts; it seemed that in that direction, there was something that the golden egg needed.

This golden egg was precisely what Han Yi had obtained from the sea of fire after Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign’s fall in the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain.
