Even before arriving, Jiang Ming had already expected that this was a trap.
Needless to say, the Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation was behind this. After all, the Fifth Immortal Moon was from the Reincarnation Hall.
When he saw the Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation, he had already understood the details about him.
In addition to that, there was also the alliance of another person, which was none other than the Dao Patriarch of Space known as the Lord God.
An old man walked out from the other side. When he looked at Jiang Ming, there was a slightly grave expression on his face. “You actually discovered me. Dao Patriarch of Soul! Remarkable!”
“Remarkable indeed. By hiding with your Spatial Dao, even I myself would have a hard time looking for you.” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation nodded.
The two of them emitted their aura, forming all kinds of forces to imprison the area, forming an absolute domain.
As for the crippled great chiliocosm? It didn’t matter if this battle would take place, the chiliocosm would definitely be shattered into ashes when they left.
“Why are you all targeting me?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile.
His gaze swept across the surrounding area. Other than these two, there was also a terrifying Chaos-level great formation that was attached to this crippled great chiliocosm. Once activated, it would explode with a supreme power.
“That’s easy. Transcendence!” Dao Patriarch of Space replied bluntly.
“You’ve reached the pinnacles of the Chaos Realm?” Jiang Ming asked oddly.
“I haven’t.” Dao Patriarch of SpaceSpace shook his head. “Although I haven’t, I can look for the opportunity of transcendence in advance.”
“That’s right.” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation responded. “Alas, the Chaos realm. We have been stuck in this realm for far too long. So long that our minds have grown weary, and our emotions have long lost.
It’s been so numbingly long that we even started to feel like we aren’t living beings and only have thoughts about turning into the Dao itself. If I’m not thinking about transcending the Chaos to witness the supreme scenery above the Chaos, I would’ve long returned to the Dao as one.”
His tone of voice was solemn with sincerity. “Take the Reincarnation Hall for example. It’s just a small thing that I’ve created by incorporating the Reincarnation Dao within, allowing me to descend into the various great chiliocosms through the Chaos Laws and take in some so-called geniuses. I’d only take a few glances at them occasionally just to pass the boredom.”
The Dao Patriarch of Space also smiled. He had the same thought as well.
Otherwise, with their capability, why would they still need to nurture talents? There didn’t have to and there wasn’t a need to.
The two of them were just too bored. Hence, they refined a great vessel, gave it certain spirituality and allowed it to operate on its own. Occasionally taking a look at their work, they were hoping to maybe spot some interesting things along the way.
“When the vision of someone sanctifying the Dao appeared, the fact that you weren’t in the Chaos Primordial Land made me feel very strange about it when I woke from my deep slumber.” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation continued, “If you weren’t in the Chaos Primordial Land, then how could you have sanctified the Dao? Soon after, I heard that you visited the Hong Clan and so I started investigating. Who would’ve thought that I found out about you? You are actually involved with one of my reincarnators and you have taken a mere few hundred years from your birth to sanctifying the Chaos Realm.”
Although his tone of voice was calm, his expression was somewhat contorted.
“Alas, a few hundred years’ time!” The Dao Patriarch of Space couldn’t believe it. “Even if I was beaten to death, I still find it difficult to believe so. A few hundred years would be a mere snap of a finger for existence such as ourselves. To think that it would be enough for you to sanctify the path of Dao within this duration of time. Even the son of the great Dao wouldn’t be able to do so, would he?”
“Even the son of the great Dao couldn’t!” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation chimed in. He looked at Jiang Ming and said sincerely, “Fellow Daoist, when I discovered you, I exhausted all my special abilities, yet was unable to deduce the process of your growth. Even after joining hands with the Dao Patriarch of Space, we were unable to do so. Can you tell us how you sanctified the path of Dao? Could it be that you’ve obtained the inheritance of those that have advanced into the Chaos Realm? Or could it be that you’ve obtained supreme Chaos treasures of transcendence? What exactly is above the Chaos?”
“We are not asking for much, just for the path above the Chaos.” Dao Patriarch of Space butted in. “The meaning of our lives, our purpose and our obsession is only this one thing. Fellow Daoist, can you grant us?”
The two of them stared straight at Jiang Ming with blazing flames in their eyes.
“Couldn’t it be that it was my effort of cultivation?” Jiang Ming replied with a sigh.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t joke around, alright? We’re serious here.” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation frowned slightly. “If you didn’t have the support of power that transcends the Chaos, how could you have grown so fast? It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. In fact, not only the Dao Patriarch of Space and I, the other Dao Patriarch also think the same thing.”
“That’s why the two of you set up such a ploy. If you can’t get the answer out of me, you would suppress me?” Jiang Min laughed and retorted instead of answering them.
“That’s right!” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation admitted directly. “When opportunity rises, we should seize it by all means.”
“I understand.” Jiang Ming nodded.
He really understood them. Back when he was in the exclusive cultivation space, he spent so much time there that he even almost transformed into the Dao himself. However, he eventually persevered.
What about the two in front of him? How long had they lived for? It was absolutely impossible to calculate. The only thing that had remained in their heart was only the possibility of further transcendence.
As for the rest? They wouldn’t even put them at heart. They wouldn’t even be too concerned about their own death.
“There’s another place that’s clearly beyond the Chaos Realm. Why didn’t the two of you pursue it?” Jiang Ming asked oddly.
“Why do you think we didn’t pursue it?” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation smiled bitterly.
“How could we not pursue it?” The Dao Patriarch of Space sighed.
It was clear that they knew what Jiang Ming was referring to.
“Alas, the inheritance of the Supreme Pagoda!” The Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation tilted his head high, with a complex expression on his face that was mixed with a sense of longing, boundless bitterness and incomprehension. “That is an open secret. The inheritance is unparalleled and there is even the chance of transcendence within. Back then, we tried to uncover the hidden secret of the Supreme Pagoda to the point that two Dao Patriarchs had died, but it didn’t even shake the inheritance the slightest. Or rather, we couldn’t even step into its door.”
The past was too tragic and saddening. Whenever they thought about it, it brought back an endless feeling of resignation.
The inheritance of the Supreme Pagoda had naturally brought upon the prying eyes of many experts of the Chaos Primordial Land. However, it turned out that only those of the lower cultivation base could enter the Supreme Pagoda.
Who knew how many experts wanted to forcibly enter the Supreme Pagoda through the Supreme Order, but it was all for naught. Some of them even enslaved others to attain the Supreme Order and tried to force their way in. In the end, they received the backlash of the supreme power and died.
No matter what method they used, they couldn’t enter the Supreme Pagoda.
Later on, two Chaos Experts used a special method and gathered a total of 108 beings who were blessed with the Supreme Order. They gathered them to be placed under observation in order to find a way into it.
The two even went as far as to nurture this group of experts. Two of them passed the tests of the Supreme Pagoda and obtained the status as a registered disciple. Upon ascending into the higher realms, they disappeared into thin air without a trace.
The two waited for them for countless years, but still they didn’t return.
Later on, they manage to nurture one of them into a Group Admin and learn of the existence of the Hongmeng Primordial Land.
The two Chaos Experts gathered the other beings and the group admin to refine them and merged the many Supreme Orders to pry deeper. As a result, the two Chaos Experts died tragically on the spot. Only the Group Admin emerged unharmed.
As Jiang Ming listened to the Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation’s remarks, he couldn’t help but reveal an odd expression on his face.
Refining a Group Admin? Haha! He was sure that this group admin definitely didn’t reveal the fact that the group admin possessed an invincible defensive means.
“Refine the many Supreme Orders resulting in a backlash?” This was something that Jiang Ming didn’t even know of.
Perhaps the two Chaos Experts had gone crazy. Their endless testing and prying to the point of no regards had triggered the wrath of the Supreme Pagoda.
“There is no rule whatsoever for the Supreme Pagoda at selecting its members.”Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation continued with a lowered voice. “Even the Supremes couldn’t pry into it and could only observe silently. However, it is certain that there is a transcendental opportunity within. It can even be said that the Supreme Pagoda is something a transcendental had left behind. Otherwise, how can it be hidden from our probing? How can it even kill two Dao Patriarchs?”
It was apparent that the two of them knew all that they could’ve known about the Supreme Pagoda. For example, they knew that passing the test within the Supreme Pagoda would grant them the opportunity to go forth into the real land of inheritance.
“Throughout the ages, there were many experts who entered the Supreme Pagoda and there should be a few of them who have been accepted as disciples as well. However, they never returned after heading towards the real land of inheritance?” Jiang Ming suddenly asked.
This was what Jiang Ming felt suspicious about their remarks. From what they said, there didn’t seem to be any. Jiang Ming felt this shouldn’t be.
After all, there weren’t a few who had managed to pass the test and became registered disciples at this point in time. It should’ve been the same in the past. There should be a lot of them. But to never return after?
“There is!” A weird expression flashed through the Dao Patriarch of Reincarnation’s face. “We know of only one person and that person even became a Dao Patriarch.”
“As for the Supreme Pagoda, you seem to know quite a lot about it. We’ve speculated that you obtained the inheritance within and now we are sure of it.” The Dao Patriarch of Space suddenly spoke, “However, you must surely be in possession of some other terrifying inheritance other than the Supreme Pagoda. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to grow that fast, even with the Supreme Pagoda inheritance. Alas, the opportunity for transcendence is not just a single one! Wonderful!”
