Chapter 4737: 刀十三(今天没了)

"What? Something with abilities like yours? When did this realm give birth to such a Dao artifact? Do you know its origin?" the man pressed for details.

"I don't know. That treasure is currently with the Azure Lotus Immortals. They achieved Dao enlightenment through supreme laws and have even cultivated Dao Bodies. Chaos Beasts at the early Dao Ancestor stage are no match for them at all. I currently don't have any powerhouses at the middle Dao Ancestor stage under my command, which is why I'm seeking your help. If you don't help me soon, I won't be able to hold on. I can't suppress the Immortals; if a middle Dao Ancestor, or even stronger, emerges among them, our master will be in trouble." Teng Xiao's expression was grim.

"I'll send two individuals to help you," the man said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and a huge fissure appeared. Large quantities of crimson magma surged out, and a beast-humanoid, ten-colored Chaos Beast emerged from underground, carrying a red, glowing bludgeon. Upon closer inspection, the bludgeon's surface had several tiny cracks.At the same time, a giant-humanoid, ten-colored Chaos Beast also emerged from underground, carrying a yellow staff that also had some cracks on its surface.

"Yan and Yan, you have both cultivated Chaos Bodies. Yan has opened three fundamental laws, and Yan has opened four. You also have low-grade Dao artifacts. Go and help Teng Xiao! However, do not initiate attacks; just defend. There are many old cultivators on the Immortal side who are in slumber. If you act aggressively, they might awaken prematurely, which would not be worth it," the man instructed.

"Yes, Commander Mo," the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts replied.

"With their combined strength, destroying the Azure Lotus Immortals shouldn't be an issue, right?" Teng Xiao asked. With two powerful reinforcements, there was no reason to merely defend!

"It's not an issue, but those slumbering Immortals would also take action. You don't think they're all just in the corners of the Immortal Realm, do you? I can assure you, there are definitely powerhouses from the Chaos Era sleeping on the Chaos Continent; their injuries are too severe for them to act. If they were to act, the Immortal powerhouses would awaken prematurely, and then the situation would become difficult to manage. Just stabilize the situation. Once Commander He fully recovers, eliminating these individuals will be effortless," the man instructed.

Teng Xiao sighed and said, "Who would have thought this realm had such formidable opponents? Even our master was severely wounded. I wonder when we can return to the Chaos Realm."

"Once Commander He recovers, everything will be manageable. At that point, truly flattening this realm and returning to the Chaos Realm will be just around the corner." The man's voice was full of confidence.

Teng Xiao nodded. Remembering something, she asked, "By the way, how is the master's recovery? Has it reached seventy percent?"

"More or less. That old geezer Xuan Yuanjie was very powerful and possessed a top-grade Dao artifact. However, Commander He was even stronger and managed to eliminate him, though he himself suffered severe injuries and won't recover quickly. You just need to continue stabilizing the situation. There probably aren't many late-stage powerhouses left. Once Commander He recovers, that will be their demise. Oh, and find out the origin of that Dao artifact that can devour you. It would be best to lure them into an active assault during the next major battle and either destroy it or for you to devour it. That might enable your complete recovery," the man suggested.

"I was thinking the same thing," Teng Xiao said. "With Yan and Yan assisting, destroying it in the next big battle won't be a problem."

"Forget it. You should cultivate more powerhouses. Don't bother with those nine-colored wastes; it's a waste of energy," the man said.

Teng Xiao gave a bitter smile and said, "Of course I'd like to, but the vital energy consumed to cultivate nine-colored and ten-colored beings is completely different. Cultivating nine-colored ones can still deal with Immortals. It's just that I didn't expect such monstrous talents like the Azure Lotus Immortals to appear. I suspect they are powerhouses from the Chaos Era who used Reincarnation Stones to live out another life. Without Reincarnation Stones, those powerhouses couldn't have lived another life, and we would have flattened this realm long ago."

"Indeed! Every time our vital energy recovers significantly, powerhouses from the Chaos Era live out another life, causing us trouble. Ao and others died at the hands of these resurrected powerhouses. Fine, I'll give you some more items to help you cultivate some ten-colored powerhouses. That way, it'll be more secure."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rusty blue small mirror and a golden long saber covered in cracks flew out from within the valley, landing in front of Teng Xiao.

"Low-grade Dao artifacts, a bit lacking, but enough for me to cultivate a few ten-colored powerhouses," Teng Xiao said. The Mother Tower emitted a dazzling black light and spewed out a black mist, drawing in the blue small mirror and the golden long saber.

"Yan and Yan, stay inside the Mother Tower to recover! You haven't fully healed, so don't act rashly. Your current mission is to wait for Commander He to fully recover and awaken," the man said.

"Where exactly is our master hiding? I am his innate Dao artifact; can't even I be told?" Teng Xiao asked with a frown.

"It's better if you don't know. Rest assured, there are masters protecting Commander He, so there won't be any problems. You don't need to worry about it. First, focus on restoring your own rank; a top-grade Dao artifact is still a bit lacking," the man advised.

Teng Xiao nodded and flew back into the Mother Tower. The Mother Tower sprayed out a black mist, enveloping the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts and drawing them inside. The Mother Tower then emitted a dazzling black light and vanished from its original spot.

"So much time has passed; the powerhouses from the Chaos Era must be about to awaken!" A man's voice, filled with uncertainty, echoed.

An immense, boundless green dense forest stretched as far as the eye could see, filled with towering trees tens of thousands of feet tall.

A black streak of light flew from the distant horizon. Not long after, the black light stopped and landed on the ground, revealing a burly man in a black shirt. The man had a square face, carried a long saber on his back, and emitted no spiritual power fluctuations whatsoever.

"Old Ghost Wei, if you're not dead yet, come out and answer," the black-shirted man's voice resounded across an area of a billion miles.

"Which fellow Daoist are you?" a man's voice, tinged with surprise and uncertainty, came from deep within the dense forest.

"Saber Thirteen!" the black-shirted man enunciated each word.

"Fellow Daoist Saber, it's you! Weren't you dead?" A dazzling green light flared, and a tall, thin old man in a green robe appeared.

"Naturally, I left a backup plan and successfully lived out another life. I've come to talk with you," Saber Thirteen said in a flat tone.

"Talk with me? Just say what you need!" the green-robed old man said.

"You should still have some Fifth-Grade Immortal Pills for cultivating Dao Bodies, right? Give me some." The green-robed old man flicked his sleeve, and two glowing porcelain bottles flew out, heading towards Saber Thirteen.

Saber Thirteen caught the two porcelain bottles, pulled out the stoppers, and sniffed them lightly. A look of joy appeared on his face.

"Thanks. With your Xuan Danzi's Immortal Pills, cultivating a Dao Body is just a matter of time for me," Saber Thirteen expressed his gratitude.

"Didn't you leave behind any Daoist temples or rare treasures?" Xuan Danzi asked, puzzled.

"I left a few treasure caches, but they were discovered by other Immortals. Even with Reincarnation Stones, I'm not certain how long it takes to live another life. Some take a few million years, others hundreds of millions of years. Whether one can recover their previous cultivation is another matter entirely."

"Strictly speaking, you are no longer the Fellow Daoist Saber I knew; you are a new Dao Ancestor," Xuan Danzi said.

"A name is just a designation; it doesn't matter. You can call me whatever you like. This time, besides asking you for Immortal Pills to cultivate a Dao Body, I also wanted to tell you something: two newly advanced Dao Ancestors achieved Dao enlightenment through supreme laws, and one of their Dao artifacts even devoured a sub-tower of the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda."Xuan Danzi's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "That powerful? Truly, new talents emerge in every generation! Could it be that they are also powerhouses from the Chaos Era who have lived out another life?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know them, in any case. The male is Dao Ancestor Tai Hao, and the female is Dao Ancestor Tian Qin. Together, they are known as the Azure Lotus Immortals."

"The Azure Lotus Immortals!" Xuan Danzi nodded, then, thinking of something, said, "Are we to ignite a great war again?"

"That's not for me to decide. It's still too early. First, we need to open up a few more fundamental laws. By the way, Immortal Xu is no longer here. She should have also had a Reincarnation Stone, but I don't know if she managed to live out another life."

"She's gone too! It seems her injuries were too severe; my elixirs couldn't save her," Xuan Danzi said.

"After all, she was facing two middle Dao Ancestor stage powerhouses, one of whom even mastered the fundamental law of divine soul."

"If there's nothing else, I won't see you out. I need to open up new fundamental laws and hope to succeed. With my current strength, I'm no match for the Chaos Beast Ancestor." Xuan Danzi's expression was grave.

"Then I won't disturb you. I wish you success." After saying this, Saber Thirteen transformed into a black streak of light and left the place.

The green-robed old man vanished into specks of green light, and tranquility returned to the area.
