Chapter 185: The Ancestor Emerges, The Return-to-Void Realm Completed
“That Mo Yang, didn’t he exhaust his lifespan? Why would we still…”
Ancestor Kongling asked in confusion.
“Exhausted his lifespan? Heh!”
You chuckled lightly, and your grave-digging speed only increased.
From what you could see during the time Mo Yang spent with you back then, he had shown not the slightest sign of a depleted lifespan. If anything, he might have had more years left than you did!
“Every one of these people lying in here is a sly old fox!”
You thought silently to yourself.
“Done!”
Mo Yang, who had only been buried for a little over ten years, was dug out by you just like that.
You knocked on the coffin, producing a dull thudding sound.
“Ancestor Mo Yang, come out quickly, the Crisis of sect destruction is here!!!”
You recited with exaggerated drama, even a faint glimmer of tears shimmering at the corners of your eyes.
“The sect needs you!!!”
The coffin lid shifted, revealing a sliver of a gap. Bits of light shone inside, revealing Ancestor Mo Yang’s aged face.
“What year is it now?”
An aged voice sounded from within the coffin.
“Uh, it’s only the sixteenth year after your death…”
You said with some embarrassment.
“What?!?!”
The coffin board shot into the sky, and Ancestor Mo Yang abruptly rose to his feet, staring at you with a gloomy expression, clearly very dissatisfied with you.
“You’ve only been in charge for sixteen years, and you’ve already brought the sect to the brink of destruction?!?!”
Before you could explain, Ancestor Kongling beside you explained, “Huang, he’s made his move!”
“The Blazing Fire Sect and the Cloud Stream Sect have already been wiped out!”
You then watched as Ancestor Mo Yang lay back down, and the coffin board flying in the sky landed with precise accuracy, sealing shut without a single gap.
“Quick, quick, bury me again! This is not something I can participate in. Go dig up Ancestor Yunyi!”
Ancestor Mo Yang’s panicked voice came out, no longer carrying the calm from before.
You’d already dug him up. How could you let him have his way?
You pushed the coffin board aside with one hand and looked at Ancestor Mo Yang lying inside, saying with a face full of sincerity, “This matter, only you can handle it!”
“Yes, Sect Master Mo, you’ll have to take charge of the situation!”
Ancestor Kongling was the first to speak up in coordination, and upon hearing this, the other Ancestors also hurried to urge him.
“You! This is blatant retaliation!”
Ancestor Mo Yang was furious.
You clicked your tongue and said, “Time waits for no one. Ancestor, you’d best come out quickly.”
Ancestor Mo Yang struggled to his feet with great reluctance, a helpless expression on his face as he said, “Ah, truly, even in death, one cannot rest in peace!”
“Everyone, come with me. Let us invite Ancestor Yunyi to emerge from the earth!”
You walked at the very front, once again personally digging up Ancestor Yunyi.
Once the Ancestor awakened, you laid out all your speculations, leaving the decision to him.
“Huang! You again!”
Ancestor Yunyi let out a cold snort and said, “I am already aware of this matter. This is not something you all can participate in.”
“You keep watch over the sect. I will go find a way to deal with this!”
“Yes!”
After dumping the heavy burden on the Ancestor, you felt much more relaxed.
When the sky falls, there’s always someone taller to hold it up. You could continue cultivating in peace, striving to break through to the Fusion realm as soon as possible!
With your spirit relaxed, you suddenly sensed a change in your cultivation. You had broken through.
Your breakthrough came as naturally as water flowing into a channel, reaching the great perfection of the Return-to-Void realm!
“You… your cultivation speed is far too fast!”
Ancestor Mo Yang looked at you with an expression of shock, refusing to believe it.
“Just water flowing into a channel, nothing much.”
You smiled, speaking without a care.
“If only I could break through to the Fusion realm, that would be wonderful!”
Your words directly angered Ancestor Mo Yang into laughter. He pointed at you and cursed, “You brat, just be content! How many years have you even spent in the Return-to-Void realm?”
“Instead of properly consolidating your foundation, you’re thinking about breaking through to the Fusion realm? Dream on!”
“Back in my day, I spent a whole…”
Ancestor Mo Yang suddenly trailed off.
“Suddenly what?”
You hated people who stopped halfway through a sentence more than anything.
“Ah, nothing.”
Ancestor Mo Yang’s mood suddenly sank. He waved his hand dismissively at you, unwilling to say more.
Looking at Ancestor Mo Yang’s expression, you had your guesses, and said no more. You turned and headed to your place of secluded cultivation to continue comprehending the Power of Law, striving to achieve Dao Integration as soon as possible!
Over the course of these hundred years, although you had comprehended half of the Power of Law you commanded to the realm of perfection, you still could not achieve Dao Integration.
Every time you attempted to merge yourself with the Great Dao of Law, you would always sense an extremely dangerous aura, as if taking one more step forward would mean instant death!
You did not know where this dangerous aura came from, but you did not wish to take such a risk.
You activated a time formation, multiplying your cultivation time by ten!
If you were not the Sect Master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, you would have no right to use such a formation at all, nor the resources to sustain its operation.
Unless, you opened the Jade Seal and took resources from the space within the Jade Seal.
But that was, for you at present, your final trump card. Unless it was absolutely necessary, you would not use it lightly, unless you found Xuanyuan Yue.
Ten years later, you awoke from the Chess Sage’s Chessboard, and your comprehension of the Power of Law had deepened even further.
You restored yourself to peak condition, then began your attempt at Dao Integration!
The Law of Time filled your surroundings. You tried to merge with it as one, and you felt the arrival of death. You gave up.
The Law of Space filled your surroundings. You tried again, and the Crisis of death arrived once more. A voice deep in your heart told you that if you tried again, you would truly die!
Helpless, you gave up once again. When there was still a thread of survival, no one could easily choose death, even the you within the simulation was no different.
You emerged from seclusion, looked up at the night sky, and stared blankly into the distance.
“What’s wrong, did you run into problems with your cultivation?”
Ancestor Mo Yang had somehow already appeared beside you. During the year you were in seclusion, he had been the one presiding over the sect.
“Ah, Dao Integration is truly so hard!”
You let out a long sigh, filled with confusion about the path of cultivation ahead.
Ancestor Mo Yang comforted you with a chuckle, “It’s fine, it’s fine. You’re still young. There’s no rushing the path of cultivation.”
“Ancestor, when you achieved Dao Integration back then, what did you encounter?”
“I didn’t encounter anything special. It was just as you said — water flowing into a channel, and I achieved Dao Integration naturally.”
“What, did you run into problems when you tried to achieve Dao Integration?”
Your brow furrowed slightly as you said, “When I tried to achieve Dao Integration, I felt like I would die!”
