Chapter 2196 - Gu Daozi
As long as those disciples did not go too far away from the city, they would not have to worry about any threat from Tang Huan.
Although he was unable to catch Tang Huan after such a long time, Yuan Chao was after all, the third strongest on the revered list, his strength was still far above Tang Huan. It would be fine if Tang Huan did not come but she did not come.
It had to be said that under the condition of not giving up on the original plan due to Tang Huan's threat, Yuan Chao's method was indeed the most suitable one for the Clear Void Dao Pavilion.
However, Yuan Chao and Fu Anguo received an unfortunate piece of news the moment they returned to the Upper Qing City.
The group of cultivators heading down the 36th day originally planned to use the ancient transfer array of Star City to leave the Flying Star City and then enter the Dark Space from the Big Dipper. This would save a lot of time. However, before that team even reached Star City, they were intercepted and killed.
The one who took action, was not Tang Huan, but the similarly long-lost Sky Sovereign Liu Li.
In an instant, it was destroyed by Empyrean Liu-Li's hands. The remaining cultivators fled with all their might, and it was a good thing that after Liu Li killed the Heavenly Emperor Elder, she did not continue to attack. Only then did the other Clear Void Dao Pavilion cultivators manage to escape this calamity.
Upon hearing this news, the entire Clear Void Dao Pavilion was filled with indignation, while Yuan Chao was even more infuriated.
Due to his rage, Yuan Chao had the urge to head there personally for the next thirty-six days.
However, Yuan Chao suppressed that thought in the end.
He knew very well that it was very possible that Tang Huan was hiding somewhere outside of Shang Qing City. Once she left the city, Tang Huan would probably be able to detect him before long. The number one on the leaderboard, Gu Daozi, was not here, and without him, the Great Clan Elder, no one in the Clear Void Dao Pavilion could suppress Tang Huan.
Once Tang Huan went all out to kill them, it was unknown how many cultivators from the Clear Void Dao Pavilion would be scared to death.
Even if everyone hid within the sect, it wouldn't be safe. Back then, Yuan Chao had personally witnessed Tang Huan passing through the spatial barrier in the sect's encampment. With Tang Huan's methods, even if the entrance of the sect was sealed, he could still enter and kill without restraint.
If he wanted to guard against Tang Huan's wanton actions, he could only continue to stay in Qing City.
In a situation where he could not leave, sending another group of disciples to the Green Void Sect for the next thirty-six days was equivalent to wasting his time. If he sent a team out, Tang Huan and Liu Li would probably be able to intercept and kill one of them, even with Pavilion Master Wei Xuan Ji's team, he had no hope of succeeding.
Because, no matter if it was Tang Huan or Liu Li, Wei Xuanji should not be a match for them.
"Can it be that we can only give up here?"
Yuan Chao sat cross-legged in the center of the city within the magnificent palace. His eyes were cold and filled with extreme unwillingness.
If he gave up, it would mean that he would no longer be able to obtain that secret from Tang Huan.
That was not an ordinary secret, but it was related to whether or not he could prove the Divine Throne. How could he be willing to give up like this? However, Tang Huan and Liu Li's cooperation had basically cut off all possibility of him continuing to capture Tang Huan's relatives and friends, threatening them, and deducing their whereabouts.
Inside palace, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The sound from inside the city was completely cut off from the outside world.
Yuan Chao's thoughts raced, and his facial expression kept changing.
After a long while, he finally made up his mind. A white jade slip as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his hand, and a message was sent out from it.
At this moment, Yuan Chao was contacting Gu Daozi, who was also the Supreme Elder of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion.
He had originally wanted to share the secret on Tang Huan's body alone, but things had gotten to this point, in a situation where Wei Xuanji and the others could not help him, he could only contact Gu Daozi, who was at the top of the honorary list. He believed that after hearing the news, Gu Daozi would be as anxious as he was.
Within the dark void, a resplendent jade-blue light flickered unceasingly like a star. It was actually an unusual Pang Shuo. It was around a thousand miles in size and the darkness within a few hundred kilometers had been completely dispersed.
This was also a fragment of the Celestial Realm.
In the endless darkness, such a large fragment was very rare, let alone the fact that it was very eye-catching. Under normal circumstances, the space within the fragment would always be hidden in the void of darkness. If one did not have enough Perception Ability, it would be impossible to find it.
This kind of fragment was enough to pique the curiosity of anyone who saw it.
However, the aura that accompanied the brilliant light beams was enough to completely suppress the curiosity of these creatures. The aura was like a massive wave, surging out wave after wave from the fragment space of the Immortal World. It was terrifying to the extreme, and even Sky Sovereign Stage powerhouses would feel their souls tremble after sensing the aura.
This was indeed the case.
For countless years, countless powerful cultivators and beasts had passed by, but none of them dared to stay near this place, let alone go near it.
The reason was very simple. Within the Celestial Realm's space, lived the number one expert of the Heaven Realm, the elder of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, Gu Daozi.
Within the fragment space of the Celestial Realm, there were no flowers, grass, trees, mountains, even the sky. There was also no land. There was only an endless sea.
This fragment of the celestial realm was like an extremely bulky dark blue water ball.
In the middle of the water ball stood an exquisite palace. The building of this palace wasn't made from earth or stone, nor was it made from trees. It was completely formed from liquid. The surrounding liquid fluctuated slightly, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the palace. From time to time, dazzling flashes of light could be seen.
Inside the palace, there was a blue bubble several meters wide floating in the air.
Inside the bubble, a thin figure was sitting cross-legged.
It was a blue-robed elder with a thin face. His eyes were closed, his mind was calm, and his body was motionless. It was as if he had fallen asleep just like that. In this fragment space, the blue-robed old man, the blue blisters, the blue palace, and the vast blue sea seemed to merge into one inseparable entity.
This blue-robed elder was naturally Gu Daozi.
"Hmm?"
Within the blue bubble, Gu Daozi seemed to have sensed something, as if he had awoken from a long slumber. His eyelids fluttered open little by little, and after at least ten breaths, his pair of sapphire-like eyes were finally fully revealed.
