Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1846 – Storm Down
The World Dao Cauldron.
The nightscreens were dark like ink while the perfectly round moon hung high above in the night sky, and it emitted a bright and clear light.
A murmuring stream flowed through the quiet mountain gorge. Chen Xi sat by the river and stared at the moon in the sky while she could not help but sigh in relief in her heart.
He was constantly traveling carefully throughout the day, and because he was worried that he would show his tracks, he did not choose to fly high above in the sky.
But despite that, he was still noticed by many opponents along the way. Some were from the Dao Institute, some from the Sovereign Sect and the Divine Institute, but none from the Oracle Mountain.
Chen Xi had no intention of fighting them head-on. He had already obtained the Ancient Cauldron Dao Engraved, so the important thing that was on him was to protect him, and then meet the other disciples of the Oracle Mountain.
As for fighting and eliminating his opponents, he would not choose to fight with them unless he had no other choice. After all, once he was entangled in a battle with them, then an accident would be inevitable.
Fortunately, he never used his will during his travel period, and instead he used the Daoseal Mark. So, he had long since noticed them before they could see him, and he easily turned around and left.
Freaky…. How did the disciples of the Dao Institute, the Sovereign Sect, and the Divine Institute meet together? Chen Xi's slanted brows united as she recalled her experience today, and she vaguely felt the smell of something unusual. This caused him to be unable to help but worry for Gu Yan, Hua Yan, Tu Meng, and the others.
Soon, Chen Xi could not hold her breath. The world of the Dao Cauldron was truly too big, making it extremely difficult to find Gu Yan and the others.
Never mind. I can only take this step by step. Chen Xi shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
…
Under the veil of the night as well and within the desolate wasteland.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
In the short time to burn the incense, many figures tore through space and met consecutively from all directions.
Along the way, they were completely silent like ghosts under the night sky. In the end, they all gathered in front of a completely empty rock in the desert.
At this moment, a figure was already sitting cross-legged on the rock. He had long blood-red hair that was red and dazzling, his skin was as white as white jade, and his eyes surged with a brilliant divine light. He was like a flame coming from the abyss of the Imperial Region, and it was capable of taking one's soul.
As he sat there leisurely, he looked like a spear that could pierce through the sky, and his body was engulfed by a peerless and arrogant aura as if he was an exalted master who looked down on the world.
Surprisingly, he was the number one expert in the Divine Ancestor Realm of the Enlightened Sovereign Sect, Leng Xinghun! And he had the reputation of being the best in the Imperial Region over 10,000 years ago.
“Oldest Senior Brother!” All the figures gathered from all over bowed in unison.
“Not bad, everyone is here.” Leng Xinghun swept over them with his gaze. There are a total of 39 people here. Not one more, not one less.
“There is no need for me to talk about what to do next. Just act according to plan. Five people in one group. Take advantage of the cover of the night sky and set off. ” Leng Xinghun stood up and stood on the rock, his clothes and blood red hair fluttering in the wind.
“Iya!” Amidst the uniform voice of recognition, the 39 figures seemed to have a tacit mutual understanding, and they formed a group of five.
The last four remaining people stood quietly behind Leng Xinghun.
In an instant, all of these Enlightened Divine Ancestors of the Sovereign Sect had been divided into eight groups with five members each.
“Remember that all of you should meet with me when the veil of the night drops every day, and you absolutely cannot act arbitrarily.” Leng Xinghun instructed before he waved his hand to show that they could take action.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
At the next moment, the Divine Realm experts of the Enlightened Universe Realm of this Sovereign Sect spat out once more, once more, and they shot towards the surroundings and quickly disappeared under the veil of the boundless night.
“Oracle Mountain, Dao Nuwa Palace …. Ha, all of you may not have the chance to enter the second round of Dao Discussion …. ” Leng Xinghun rubbed his chin while smiling lightly, and then he said to the four disciples by his side, “Come, we should leave as well.”
…
The World Dao Cauldron. In the green and primitive forest.
The melodious and graceful sound waves of flutes that sounded like natural waves were curling up in the middle of the night veil, and it seemed like the wind was singing and causing one's mental state to calm down.
A man whose hair was tied into a ponytail, had a warm appearance, and a fresh, carefree cushion sat lazily on a tree fork. As the gentle radiance from the moon descended upon him, it caused him to reveal a profound and pure aura.
He was the Eldest Powerseal Disciple of the Divine Institute, Donghuang Yinxuan!
At this moment, he put his body on the tree while blowing a bamboo flute with a lazy bearing, and he looked carefree and calm. He did not seem to be participating in the Dao Discussion at all.
A number of figures had gathered under the tree a long time ago. Surprisingly, Zhu Qianyu, Gongsun Mu, and the other 15 Powerseal Disciples and 36 Black Officers were there.
They simply stood still, and no one dared to show any displeasure towards Donghuang Yinxuan who seemed to be doing something irrelevant and neglecting her true duty.
After a long time, the sound of the flute slowly subsided and disappeared. Only now did Donghuang Yinxuan stretch his body in satisfaction, and then he gazed down at the tree and smiled warmly. “You all might be impatient for waiting, right?”
As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree and said, “It's time to make a move. Junior Brother Qianyu, you announced the arrangements. “
Zhu Qianyu nodded and said in a low voice, “Our goal is similar to that of the Sovereign Sect, and our first target is the Oracle Mountain before we set our sights on the Royal Palace of Nuwa.”
He paused for a moment and continued. “In addition, don't forget to get the Ancient Dao Engraved Cauldron while on a mission.
“Later, all of us 54 will be divided into 9 groups. Each group will have six members, and it will be formed by two Powerseal Disciple and four Black Officers.
“Do you all understand?”
“Iya!”
Zhu Qianyu nodded, and then she turned her gaze towards the 36 Black Officers. “Do all of you 36 Black Officers understand the reason that the Divine Institute sent you here?”
“We did it!” They all answered with heavy voices.
“Remember, once the Powerseal Disciple faces danger, then all of you should help the Powerseal Disciple fight against that danger and instead fight desperately with the enemy instead!”
Zhu Qianyu looked at Donghuang Yinxuan after she announced all of this.
“Then let's start.” Donghuang Yinxuan smiled lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he placed his hands behind his back and walked towards the depths of the forest with large strides.
When they saw this, the four Black Officers and the Powerseal Disciple immediately followed suit.
Zhu Qianyu and the others split into groups as well before flashing in different directions. Soon, there was not a single person left in this primordial and primitive forest.
…
The World Dao Cauldron. On a seemingly limitless plain.
“One-time fool. You all do as you please. I have no intention of going around with all of you. Will there be fun if I do that? ” Yea Chen shook her head before she turned around and left.
As they watched him leave, all the Dao Institute disciples could not help but be a little surprised, and they did not know what Yea Chen was really thinking.
Only the person in the lead who wore a Daoist robe and had a steady bearing revealed a slightly gloomy expression.
His name was Li Lufeng, and he was the senior brother of all the disciples of this Dao institute. Moreover, he was the group leader of the Dao Institute during the Dao Discussion. He was instructed by Royal Emperor Ying Qin to be fully in charge of the Dao Institute disciples while inside the World Dao Cauldron.
However, before he could manage everything, Ye Chen had turned around and left, and this was undoubtedly like an attack to the face, causing him to be a little displeased.
“Senior sister Yu, where did you go?” Suddenly a student spoke.
Everyone looked at his gaze, and they immediately noticed that Yu Jiuhui had actually secretly started walking towards the distance.
“My destination is different from all of you, so I will not participate in it.” Yu Jiuhui did not even turn around as she spoke calmly.
Under the moonlight that flowed down like water, his figure was tall, with thick and slanted black eyebrows, and a cold expression, and his entire body was filled with an icy and bone-chilling oppressive aura.
“Jiuhui Junior Brother, you intend to go with Yea Chen?” Li Lufeng's brows united even more tightly when he saw this.
Yu Jiuhui did not speak a word, and his figure gradually disappeared under the night sky.
This caused Li Lufeng's expression to turn completely gloomy, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart. These two people had completely failed to consider the general interest of everyone!
“Senior Brother Li, what should we do now?” One of them could not help but ask this question.
“We will naturally act according to the previous agreement.” Li Lufeng did not think about it before speaking. After which, he could not help but laugh and snort. “This Dao discussion is not unusual at all, and it is really a little mistaken not to act together.”
They were all stunned and confused.
Li Lufeng gave no further explanation, and he said, “From tonight onwards, we will start acting together. Remember, we only have one goal, to obtain the Ancient Dao Engraved Cauldron. Besides, we won't interfere in anything else! “
…
Everything that happened at night had clearly been noticed by everyone within the Convergence Hall. Although they could not hear the sound of discussion between those disciples, they could roughly determine a few things.
For a time, Huai Kong’zi's brows tightly united.
Lei Fu Sovereign Sect and Chi Song’zi from the Divine Institute were chatting with smiles on their faces, and they did not seem to notice this at all.
Wen Ting revealed a rare moment of silence, yet he remembered upon hearing about ‘variabel’ that Wu Xuechan talked about before they left Oracle Mountain.
Yu Zhen was drinking wine on the side. Glass after glass dropped down his throat while the temperature in his eyes grew colder, increasingly indifferent.
“There is something wrong in this situation!”
“The show will start soon.”
“Sekte Sovereign, Divine Institute, and Dao Institute have already started to take action. Only Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace did not seem to notice anything. Their students seemed to be in a rather bad situation. “
It wasn't just inside the Convergence Hall. At this moment, even all the cultivators who were in the witnessing area in Vie Field had actually noticed that the situation within the World Dao Cauldron had changed discreetly. Undercurrents are happening, and the storm is coming down!
“It looks like Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace will suffer huge losses this time.”
“How can this happen? The situation is a little suspicious. ”
“Such situations are inevitable. Now, it all depended on whether the disciples of Oracle Mountain and Dao Palace in Nuwa would be able to deal with this descending storm. “
“Big battle is coming!”
Such a change was too obvious, and as long as one was not blind, one would definitely be able to see it.
For a time, all of the cultivators within the Ten Way City had their sights focused on the Heaven Divine Screen in the sky, and they realized that the situation within the World Dao Cauldron would undergo a great change from tonight onwards!
