Chapter 788: Teacher Explains the Dharma

The Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa truly lived up to his reputation as the most powerful being in the world, dominating all of Xuanhuang. Even with Mr. Bai's strength, he could only hide for a while; ultimately, he could not hide forever.

After finally perfecting the "Self-Foundation Establishment Method" and successfully verifying it, the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa still managed to locate Mr. Bai based on a few clues.

"Buzz..." It was as if the air had been instantly sucked out, and the immense pressure difference caused everyone in Medicine King Valley to clutch their heads in agony. Cracks appeared in the sky of the secret realm, as though the realm itself could not withstand the immense power and was about to shatter. Chang Sheng Valley, like a small boat in a violent storm, shook violently and teetered on the brink of collapse. All of this happened in an instant.

However, it wasn't the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa himself who had arrived. He had merely cast his gaze from above the firmament.

Mr. Bai slowly walked out, flew into the air, and lightly stepped. The cracks in the sky of the secret realm gradually healed. Chang Sheng Valley, which had been shaking incessantly, slowly returned to calm.

Recovering from the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's immense pressure, everyone's faces were pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Even the three Dao-Harmonizing cultivators were no exception. Before the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa, ordinary Dao-Harmonizing cultivators were no different from those in the Foundation Establishment or Nascent Soul realms. They looked at Mr. Bai in mid-air, who had single-handedly blocked the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's oppressive aura, their expressions varied.

Mr. Bai's clothes rustled, moving without any wind. "Take good care of the children," he said, without looking back, his voice faint. "They played a crucial role in the creation of the 'Self-Foundation Establishment Method.'" Then, Mr. Bai tore through space and left Chang Sheng Valley.

"Mr.!" From beginning to end, the people of Chang Sheng Valley never knew Mr. Bai's name. They only referred to him as "Mr.," just like the orphans who once lived in the dilapidated Xuanti Temple in Ningyuan City.

As if finally having locked onto his target, the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's pressure gradually receded from Chang Sheng Valley. It didn't vanish; instead, it converged entirely on Mr. Bai.

After Mr. Bai tore through space and returned to the main Xuanhuang world, it was unclear whether it was due to the influence of the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's power or if Mr. Bai intended it, but the sky above Chang Sheng Valley did not fully return to normal. Instead, a massive rift opened in it, through which one could clearly see the events unfolding in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Mr. Bai flew towards the sky, his figure growing larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, he became a giant, resembling a colossal being, standing tall as if propping up the heavens.

With the target finally appearing, the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa remained silent. Above the firmament, black vortices suddenly appeared one after another. They were like gaping voids, exerting immense suction towards Mr. Bai. They also resembled pairs of eyes, staring intently at him, devoid of any expression.

Due to the existence of the Soul-Devouring White Mist barrier, only Luoyan and Luying prefectures, where Chang Sheng Valley was located in the Xuanhuang Realm, could witness this astounding scene. All cultivators who gazed at the black vortices at the top of the sky instantly became dazed. Many even flew directly towards the sky on the spot, like moths drawn to a flame, chasing after the constantly shifting black holes. The nature of this attraction was unknown, nameless. Yet, it seemed even more alluring to cultivators than the very essence of heaven and earth.

This was merely the external manifestation of those black vortices. Mr. Bai, bearing their full power, his towering figure subtly distorted in an instant. Moreover, continuous explosions inexplicably occurred in various parts of his body. These were merely the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's preliminary methods.

What followed next was what caused the children in Medicine King Valley to exclaim in shock. An eerie streak of purple silently and suddenly enveloped the skies above Luoyan and Luying prefectures. It blotted out the sky, replacing the blazing sun. Under the purple glow, Mr. Bai's clothes, hair, and even his pupils seemed to be tainted by that ominous color.

A mass of flesh exploded from Mr. Bai's body. Then, a ghostly human figure seemed to inexplicably dissipate, returning to the heavens. If Li Fan had been present at this moment, he would surely have recognized this as the phenomenon of the "essence of heaven and earth," distorted and forcibly stripped from Mr. Bai.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Loud explosions continuously echoed throughout the cosmos. And the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's subsequent moves followed in rapid succession.

Innumerable thin, black lines, like countless black earthworms, appeared. They swarmed around Mr. Bai like a pack of hyenas hunting, ravenously devouring him. Countless threads of light continuously drained from his body every moment. These wriggling black lines converted them into part of their own collective.

The Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's actions had already transcended the scope of ordinary spells and divine abilities. There were no dazzling lights, no earth-shattering power. Only various strange and abnormal phenomena. The forces causing these phenomena were undoubtedly terrifying powers beyond the comprehension of cultivators.

The cultivators from Luoyan and Luying prefectures who witnessed this scene were all left speechless. Facing the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa's relentless attacks, Mr. Bai seemed to have no power to retaliate whatsoever. He merely stood silently, passively enduring the assault.

Just when everyone thought this, Mr. Bai finally made a move. He extended his hands, his long sleeves expanding rapidly, instantly piercing into the white mist barrier in front of him—the same barrier that spanned across the world and divided the various regions of Xuanhuang. Then, immense power surged from his arms.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Massive muffled thuds seemed to emanate from every corner of the world.

"That's..."

"Look, the white mist barrier is moving!"

Soon, the cultivators noticed the anomaly and repeatedly cried out in alarm. The white mist barrier, which had been dormant for ten thousand years and seemed eternally unchanging, was now slowly flowing. The roaring grew louder and louder, and the white mist's flow accelerated. The source of this flow was precisely Mr. Bai's arms. Immense suction emanated from his hands, frantically drawing all the Soul-Devouring White Mist, which cultivators usually avoided at all costs, into his sleeves. It went from a gentle stream to a raging river, then to a torrential flood! The white mist shrouding the entire Xuanhuang Realm was continuously drawn, rapidly surging towards Mr. Bai!

This action seemed to finally truly enrage the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa. In the eerie purple firmament, a face faintly appeared. Then, two fingers, like colossal pillars supporting the heavens, descended from above! The sky instantly turned gloomy. Wailing sounds, like a demonic wind raging from the Nine Heavens, resonated throughout the two prefectures. Wind and thunder roared in unison, and spatial fissures, dense as spiderwebs, extended from the firmament to the earth in an instant. Anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in their path was instantly reduced to dust, leaving no trace of their remains. Those who narrowly escaped were also trapped by the immense pressure exerted by these two descending fingers. Their entire bodies were unable to move! Some, unable to bear it, even knelt directly on the spot!
