Chapter 1359 - 233: Falling into Misconceptions

Chapter 1359: Chapter 233: Falling into Misconceptions

After asking the questions he wanted, Shen Changqing then departed from the Heavenly Prison.

Although Ji Ying outwardly cooperated very well, he had no intention of releasing him.

A middle-stage God Realm powerhouse.

For the current Imperial Court, he posed too great a threat.

If not handled well.

It could very likely lead to catastrophic destruction.

At that time, even if Ji Ying were slain, it couldn’t bring back those lost lives.

Therefore, to be safe, keeping him confined in the Heavenly Prison for now ensures no issues will arise.

But this time, Shen Changqing obtained a not-so-small piece of news from Ji Ying.

The previously presumed fallen Gongyi Fei had unexpectedly joined the Kunlun Sect, becoming the Saint Heir of Kunlun Sect.

This.

Was something he hadn’t anticipated.

Soul Nurturing Realm!

Which is equivalent to the Grandmaster Realm of Shimohe back then, as well as the initial entry into the Heavenly Human Realm now.

Shen Changqing initially thought.

Shimohe was the first to break the limits in a thousand years.

But now it seems, Gongyi Fei breaking limits still preceded Shimohe.

However.

Given Shimohe’s immense talent, if seen by powerhouses in the Central Profound Realm, he might enter the Central Profound Realm as well.

But unfortunately.

According to Ji Ying, after two hundred years, no strong individuals from the Central Profound Realm have entered the outside world, so the chance of discerning talents naturally does not exist.

Shaking his head.

Shen Changqing temporarily put aside matters concerning Gongyi Fei.

No matter how his opponent was a powerhouse from hundreds of years ago, he hasn’t reached the Divine King Realm yet, and even if he had, he wouldn’t pose a major threat to Shen Changqing.

Compared to these matters, he was more concerned about the entire Central Profound Realm.

"Ji Ying mentioned there are nine fixed entrances and exits for the Central Profound Realm to the outside world, called Heavenly Realms by the Human Clan, but referred to as Forbidden Areas in the Central Profound Realm.

But the current issue is, the entrances and exits are fixed in the Central Profound Realm, but not in the outside world, suggesting factors unknown to me might be involved."

Under normal conditions.

If the entrances and exits of the Central Profound Realm are fixed, then the entrances for the outside world to the Central Profound Realm should be fixed too.

However, now that it’s not fixed, it’s worth discussing.

"Could it be... the Central Profound Realm is moving around freely, relying on Heaven and Earth?"

Shen Changqing thought of this possibility.

Looking at it now.

Only this explanation can fully make sense.

"If the outside entrances can be fixed, the Imperial Court can prepare ahead of time, without worrying about people from the Central Profound Realm coming and going at will.

Now, with Heaven and Earth phenomena as indicators, the Imperial Court can perceive them at first instance. If one day, these phenomena vanish, capturing the movements of the Central Profound Realm’s inhabitants would be akin to searching blindly."

Preparedness.

Shen Changqing did not believe his conjecture was without merit.

Anything could happen; controlling all unknown possibilities within manageable limits is the safest approach.

But for a concrete strategy, he temporarily had no clue.

...

In the Central Profound Realm, within the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Having reformed his flesh, Gong Xuantian sat there, his expression gloomy as water.

The mission was thwarted before it began.

He initially thought his action would suppress the foreign powerhouse outright.

But unexpectedly.

Not only did a Profound Yin Divine King fall, but he himself was repelled by the opponent just one step out of the Central Profound Realm.

Later, his flesh was obliterated, nearly falling on spot.

If not for the timely intervention of the sect’s Zhen Sect Dao Soldier, Gong Xuantian suspected Shen Changqing could truly have invaded the Divine Kingdom.

As the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he was privy to much more than others.

Faith Divine Power.

Is not the sole method to enter the Endless Void.

"Supreme Elder, could you elaborate on the details of that battle?"

Shenxu broke the silence first.

Gong Xuantian’s defeat was unexpected to him.

Shen Changqing’s strength far surpassed his own expectations.

"There’s nothing worthy of note; I was at a disadvantage throughout, and at the moment of defeat, I was confined by a mystical force of utmost delicacy, an encounter I had never experienced before."

Gong Xuantian shook his head, unwilling to discuss his defeat further.

To be defeated as the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect by a junior was a complete loss of face.

From the first sight of Shen Changqing, he discerned his true age from the bone age.

"If my judgment is correct, the person is not yet a hundred years old. If he hasn’t been reincarnated through an elder’s possession, then he must be an exceptional prodigy; if the former, it’s fine, but if the latter, our Heavenly Dao Sect is in big trouble!"

In the end, he added.

Not yet a hundred years old!

Upon hearing this.

Shenxu and Gong Tongtian’s faces changed dramatically.

"Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"

Gong Tongtian couldn’t help but ask again, the disbelief still lingering on his aged face.

Gong Xuantian sneered, "I never misjudge. Moreover, there is something that perhaps you don’t know. He doesn’t follow the Faith Divine Path but the Immortal Dao, which has vanished since Ancient Times!"

Immortal Dao!

With these words, the two could no longer remain calm.

"Impossible, the Immortal Dao has long since disappeared. Even in our Central Profound Realm, there are no Immortal Dao Methodologies. How could he possess Immortal Dao Methodologies!"

Gong Tongtian immediately shook his head, showing great doubt toward Gong Xuantian’s words.

After speaking, he calmed down a bit and continued, "Moreover, the Immortal Dao is forbidden. If anyone walks the Immortal Dao, it would certainly be detected by the Myriad Clans. If he follows the Immortal Dao, how could he remain unscathed?"

"Your doubts are justified, but I absolutely cannot be mistaken."

Facing skepticism, Gong Xuantian did not show any anger, instead analyzing rationally.

He believed what he saw couldn’t be wrong.

The strength of the flesh is formidable, capable of directly resisting the attack of Ninth Grade Dao Arms.

Moreover, throughout, the other party did not reveal a trace of Faith Divine Power.

Such abilities.

If not the Immortal Dao, it could not possibly belong to another system.

"As for why he cultivates the Immortal Dao yet hasn’t been detected by the Myriad Clans, I suspect it is very likely related to the Void Realm!"

Gong Xuantian spoke solemnly.

"The Void Realm can block all investigations. Because of the existence of the Void Realm, we Humans remain undiscovered here by the Myriad Clans. As for the saying that the Immortal Dao is forbidden, it is likely to prevent the Void Realm from shattering one day, leading to all matters being exposed."

Before meeting Shen Changqing.

He did not have such an understanding of the taboo teachings passed down by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

But after seeing Shen Changqing clearly cultivating the Immortal Dao yet remaining unharmed, Gong Xuantian began to speculate in this direction.

If it weren’t for the Void Realm.

How could he not be detected by the Myriad Clans?

As for whether the teachings passed down by the Heavenly Dao Sect contain errors, he does not doubt.

Upon hearing.

Shenxu and Gong Tongtian calmed down.

Indeed.

Gong Xuantian, being a Rule Divine King, it is unlikely for him to misjudge, meaning that external powerhouse truly follows the Ancient Immortal Dao.

The fact that he hasn’t been discovered is likely related to the Void Realm.

Subsequently.

Gong Tongtian’s face turned serious, "That person’s strength is too formidable. Even after battling with you, he still had spare energy to resist the attack of the Heavenly Dao Seal, although it was executed remotely, but resisting is absolutely not easy.

This person’s strength, there is only one who could match him!"

"You mean... Slaughter Immortal God!"

When Gong Xuantian mentioned this name, a solemn expression also appeared on his face.

Slaughter Immortal God!

Immortal Ascension Sect Master.

The acknowledged first powerhouse of the Central Profound Realm.

Even with Gong Xuantian’s pride, he feels no resentment towards Slaughter Immortal God.

Only because the title of the first powerhouse was earned through real battles, not merely self-claimed.

"Back then, Slaughter Immortal God dominated the Central Profound Realm, earning the title of first powerhouse. In the Fourth Realm of God King, none could match him.

Now another Immortal Dao powerhouse has appeared externally, and in a one-on-one situation, only Slaughter Immortal God could handle him."

Gong Tongtian remained composed.

Within the Heavenly Dao Sect, the most powerful is Gong Xuantian.

Aside from him.

There is no one stronger than Gong Xuantian.

Even he himself is a bit inferior compared to Gong Xuantian.

"That external powerhouse is so formidable entirely because of the Immortal Dao. If we could also obtain the Immortal Dao Methodologies, then the first Sect in the Central Profound Realm would not be the Immortal Ascension Sect but our Heavenly Dao Sect."

Gong Xuantian’s gaze was profound.

In his view, Shen Changqing’s strength lies in his path on the Immortal Dao system. If he could also walk the Immortal Dao, he would certainly be even stronger.

Shenxu frowned, "With the strength of our Sect, unless we truly utilize the Heavenly Dao Seal, it would be challenging to suppress him. Besides, such powerhouses are inherently proud. Even if suppressed, they may not divulge the Immortal Dao Methodologies.

Moreover, the Supreme Elder’s battle did not occur externally but within the Central Profound Realm.

Given the current sect forces, some issues are likely already detected, and the matter of the Immortal Dao reappearing is difficult to conceal!"

The sects aren’t fools.

Such a great battle, even if one wants to hide it, it’s impossible.

Previously, when the external Human Clan established the Imperial Court, only the Heavenly Dao Sect intervened, and no other sect took action, fundamentally due to the other sects losing interest in the outside.

Spiritual Energy depleted.

The air polluted and dirty.

No one from the Central Profound Realm wants to enter the external world.

If not for the Imperial Court’s matter affecting the face of the Central Profound Realm, even the Heavenly Dao Sect would be indifferent.

But things are different now.

A great battle has been stirred within the Central Profound Realm, and before the Heavenly Dao Sect, a Divine King has fallen.

As long as other forces aren’t fools, they will send people to investigate the external situation.

As soon as people are sent out, everything will be exposed.

Gong Xuantian smiled slightly, "The Sect Master is mistaken. We do not necessarily need to conceal the news of the Immortal Dao. We only need to obtain the Immortal Dao Methodologies before other sects, and then our Heavenly Dao Sect will be a step ahead."
