As she arrived, the entire space seemed to shake with sorrow. The sound of the Great Dao was ethereal and space distorted as if it was afraid of something.
"Long time no see. Fairy Crimson Afterglow is still as magnificent as ever."
A warm voice resounded out as a piece of space slowly vanished. A young man with a crown on his head and a jade ornament tied to his waist walked out slowly from space, and behind him was a myriad of stars.
Fairy Crimson Afterglow gave a faint smile as a response. Just this smile alone seemed to brighten up the entire starry sky. Every move she made disturbed heaven and earth.
"Your cultivation has become even more profound after 10,000 years."
"I'm all old bones now. What are you blabbering about? The future belongs to the younger generation." It was an old woman who held three thousand formation diagrams. Her body was bent as she stepped on the air.
"However, this sort of abnormal sign cannot be ignored."
Figures appeared one after another from the void. Some had the sun and moon on their shoulders, and their sleeves fluttered in the wind. They had white hair and a youthful complexion, and behind them, the sun and the moon blended together and revolved. Some held an ancient scroll in their hands, and they exuded an aura of righteousness. Every move they made was cultured and refined. Some came over on swords, and from time to time, they would look up to the sky and drink to their heart's content. There were some who sat in carriages and wore purple-gold dragon robes. They had vertical brows and vertical pupils, and thirty thousand draconic qi swirled around them.
More and more figures appeared. Every one of them was a famous powerhouse from Qinghe Continent. They were all geniuses who had overturned an era. They were figures from legends. Even some of the powerhouses and mighty figures that many people thought had died in ancient times had appeared today. In the originally silent universe, the heaven and earth origin energy began to rapidly flip and a large expanse of the starry sky was obliterated.
And now, they all raised their heads, looking into the depths of the cosmos.
"Boom!"
Those were terrifying irregular scenes, the path cut off carried an ominous and terrifying feeling. The black tomb seemed to have countless illusions hidden within. The shocking nine dragons pulling the coffin, Pure Land, the Four Immortal Swords… Even though the irregular scenes were already blurry, about to disappear, no longer flowing with the aura of the great dao, one could still see that terrifying aura shaking all directions.
That was something that had been carved onto the Great Dao and into the Heavenly Dao. Since ancient times, the number of times when strange phenomena appeared in the sky could be counted on one hand.
"I thought that I would be able to observe it more clearly after coming to the universe. Indeed, I still can't get close."
"This is the evolution of the Grand Dao, and it's impossible to approach and observe."
"Although some of the higher-ranked continents will also have some summoners with amazing cultivation talent that will also be accompanied by abnormal phenomena."
"However, there has never been anyone who had this type of terrifying abnormal phenomena." A great figure muttered.
Looking at the strange phenomenon in the starry sky, the figure with the sun and moon on his shoulder slowly opened his mouth. Yin and Yang seemed to be alternating in his eyes. "This is only an abnormal phenomenon. If it really exists, I'm afraid that only the top ten places on the Summoning Continent can have such a place…"
"However, those places cannot appear in this type of abnormal phenomena. They are all forbidden lands, the eight desolate dangerous lands. Even if you and I enter, if we aren't careful, we might die and our dao disappear." Fairy Crimson Afterglow said softly.
"I'm afraid no one can produce such a phenomenon. These should be the manifestations of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Indeed, no one can produce such a terrifying phenomenon."
"It might really be the manifestation of the heavens!"
After a brief moment of silence, an old man said with a smile, "We have obtained a great opportunity for this phenomenon. We can all break through. Most importantly, only the old monsters of the Qinghe Continent can sense this opportunity. This is the will of the heavens."
"Hahaha, some old farts are always laughing at the fact that our Qinghe Continent is located at the edge of the continent and is a barren land. After this opportunity, I'll beat them until they kneel and beg for mercy!" the swordsman said smugly as he shook his fist. The atmosphere gradually became lively. "This is also why we formed karma with this person. At our cultivation level, he helped us break through. This karma isn't small!"
"Yeah, even though it's good karma, but at our level, I'm afraid this karma isn't so good."
"Even if it's not good, you still have to pay it back. Otherwise, it will affect your Dao heart." The scholar with the righteous aura spoke slowly. He was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze bathing over oneself.
The power of karma was illusory and elusive, even more difficult to grasp than the Great Dao. For thousands of years, no one had been able to fully comprehend it. No one knew when karma was formed. On the Xuanyuan Continent, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivators, the more they paid attention to karma. There was a cause, and there would be a result. Once they accepted it, they would have to repay it. Otherwise, if they allowed it to develop, in the end, there might be situations where no one could control it.
"It's a good thing we just made a breakthrough. There's still a long way to go. For us, we have enough time to pay it back!"
"If any of you can find him, please let me know."
"That's right." The many big shots quickly reached a consensus.
However, these big shots were thinking, "Are you dreaming?"
"I'll tell you when I find it?"
"This type of genius who is destined to lead an era's style isn't going all out to take him as a disciple, yet I'm telling you? For you to steal my disciple??"
At the back of Qinghe Continent's Qinghe Academy.
The purple pillar of light slowly dissipated, and the crowd that had gathered in the plaza quickly dispersed, continuing the unfinished summoning ceremony. With the academy's protection, they temporarily could not make use of stepping on Wu Feng to become famous.
"What a pity. It wasn't easy for her to summon such a talented dao companion, but he came from an inferior continent without any foundation."
"How lamentable. Not only was he unable to help, he was a burden instead."
"Lack of foundation! Lack of foundation! In the end, he won't be able to achieve great things!"
"He's destined to be unable to rise up, the great dao was blinded."
Countless people sighed. Wu Feng was like a small stone thrown into a large lake, creating a small ripple before quickly calming down.
Among all the people present, only Wu Feng could feel the surging spiritual qi of heaven and earth continuously surging into his body. Wu Feng could clearly feel his own strength becoming increasingly stronger. With every step he took, the spirit qi in his body would increase by a significant amount! Those so-called cultivation bottlenecks were like thin paper that crumbled with a touch.
Yellow Rank One! Rank Two! Rank Three! Rank Four! After eight steps, Wu Feng had reached Yellow Rank Eight!
If others were to find out, they might just find a lump of mud and smash their heads to death. After just taking eight steps, his cultivation level was already comparable to ten years of bitter cultivation for some ordinary people! Only after reaching Yellow Rank Eight did the surging spirit qi gradually calm down.
"Is this a breakthrough? It feels so simple!" Wu Feng thought silently.
