Deep in the Yi Qiwang Mountain Range, Xin and Xiao stood atop a high peak, gazing at the nine-colored thunderclouds in the sky.
Lei was attempting to ascend to Dao Ancestor. It had been over twenty million years since the Immortal-Chaos War ended. Back then, when Lei joined them, it was only a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal. After all these years, it had cultivated to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage and was now trying to reach Dao Ancestor.
"Judging by its posture, it's achieving enlightenment through a unique law. There shouldn't be any major issues," Xin said.
After more than twenty million years, another Immortal-Chaos War was imminent. Both Immortals and Chaos Beasts were recuperating.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared as streaks of nine-colored immortal lightning struck down.
After more than half an hour, the nine-colored thunderclouds coalesced into a nine-colored lightning leopard, which swooped down from the sky towards the ground below.
The ground shook violently. A colossal golden fist flew out from the lightning, accurately smashing into the nine-colored lightning leopard. The leopard's body exploded, transforming into a massive nine-colored sun that enveloped a large area.
Tidal waves of energy swept outwards, causing mountains to vanish, cracks to spread across the void, and dust to fill the sky.
Before the dust could settle, a resounding laugh echoed through the heavens and earth, spreading for hundreds of millions of miles in every direction.
Lei emerged from the dust, its body scorched and covered in wounds, but its aura was unfathomably deep.
It had successfully passed the lightning tribulation and ascended to Dao Ancestor, achieving enlightenment through the Law of Strength.
"Haha, this is great! Our tribe now has three Dao Ancestors!" Xin exclaimed excitedly.
"Thank you, Xin and Xiao," Lei said gratefully.
"We're family, no need to be formal. Go find Lord Teng. Lord Teng has ordered that all tribesmen who ascend to Dao Ancestor must report to her," Xin instructed.
In recent years, the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda had intensified the cultivation of ten-colored Chaos Beasts, specifically focusing on helping them ascend to Dao Ancestor. Nine-colored Chaos Beasts simply didn't have this opportunity.
"Go find Lord Teng?" Lei was taken aback.
"Lord Teng will empower you and help you cultivate into a Chaos Body," Xin explained.
"Has Lord Teng fully recovered? Empowering a Dao Ancestor would consume a lot of vitality, wouldn't it?" Lei asked, puzzled.
"No, she hasn't fully recovered. This is Lord Teng's will. I'm not sure of the specific reasons," Xin replied.
"Alright then, I'll go find Lord Teng." Lei agreed, transforming into a streak of light and departing.
"Lord Teng hasn't fully recovered, yet she still wants to empower the ten-colored tribesmen. Is this to guard against the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple? Or for some other reason?" Xiao wondered aloud.
"I'm not sure. It could be preparation for the Immortal-Chaos War. I always feel like Lord Teng is hiding something from us," Xin said, a puzzled look in its eyes.
"Hiding something from us? What could it be?" Xiao asked, confused.
"Lord Teng has more powerful allies!" Xin's voice was heavy.
"What? More powerful allies? Do you mean Dao Ancestors who attained enlightenment through a supreme law? Or Dao Ancestors who opened up multiple origin laws? Where did you hear this?" Xiao asked, bewildered.
"I don't know what kind of allies Lord Teng has. I just saw some secrets from the Chaos Era in some confiscated ancient texts. Simply put, we are merely superficial forces, pieces visible on the chessboard, while Lord Teng's true allies are those invisible pieces," Xin explained.
"The heavens and earth are a chessboard? And we are merely pieces?" Xiao asked, shocked. This revelation overturned its understanding. It had always believed itself to be a mighty figure in the Immortal Realm, but now it discovered it was just a chess piece – the disparity was immense.
"Indeed! What I don't understand is why Lord Teng wouldn't tell us. Would we betray her? Or is there some other reason?" Xin pondered.
"Never mind. This isn't something we should worry about. Let's focus on increasing our strength as much as possible! You should be able to open your third origin law soon, right? It's been over twenty million years," Xiao suggested.
Xin nodded. "I have that intention too. I'll leave things here to you."
The Thousand-Buddha Tomb was located northwest of the Thousand-Buddha Immortal Domain. It was rumored to be a natural forbidden zone, with some tales claiming it was the main altar of an ancient sect. While theories varied, one thing was certain: it was extremely dangerous. Even Grand Luo Golden Immortals risked falling if they ventured inside.
Deep within the Thousand-Buddha Tomb lay a vast, boundless expanse of calm, azure sea.
A colossal blue turtle floated on the sea surface, moving swiftly forward.
Wang Changsheng stood on the turtle's back, his expression indifferent.
His purpose in coming to the Thousand-Buddha Immortal Domain this time was to seek out Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows, as mentioned by the remnant soul of Dao Ancestor Ten Directions, to learn more about the secrets of the Chaos Era, especially concerning the Chaos Progenitor.
"Master, it seems we've fallen into an illusion. We've been going in circles," the blue giant turtle spoke in human tongue. It was Wang Lin.
"My name is Wang Changsheng. I have been entrusted by Dao Ancestor Ten Directions to find Fellow Daoist Seven Rainbows. May I request that Fellow Daoist show yourself?" Wang Changsheng's voice resounded for millions of miles.
"Wang Changsheng? The newly ascended Human Race Dao Ancestor?" A weathered male voice echoed.
"That is correct," Wang Changsheng replied.
A ripple spread across the void, revealing a massive void. A colossal crimson palm, wreathed in crimson magma and emitting terrifying heat, flew out from it, heading straight for Wang Changsheng.
Wherever the crimson palm passed, vast amounts of seawater evaporated, and islands burst into flames, turning to ash.
Wang Changsheng's right fist blazed with green light. He punched out, and a colossal green fist flashed forth to meet the incoming attack.
The green fist collided with the crimson palm, and the latter instantly disintegrated.
"Two origin laws! Impossible!" A voice filled with astonishment rang out.
A seven-colored rainbow bridge appeared, and standing upon it was a handsome man in golden robes. His body was naturally adorned with various colored spiritual patterns, and his eyes were also multicolored.
"You are Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows!" Wang Changsheng asked.
"Indeed. You've actually opened up two supreme origin laws!" Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows' eyes were filled with shock.
"I heard you're a powerful being from the Chaos Era? Was no one able to achieve this in the Chaos Era? For example, Xuanyuan Jie?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.
"No, at least I haven't heard of anyone," Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows replied, shaking his head.
"You know Xuanyuan Jie, so does that mean you also served in the Ancient Immortal Court?" Wang Changsheng pressed.
"You know the Ancient Immortal Court? Just who are you?" Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows became highly vigilant, his face full of caution.
"I am a newly ascended Dao Ancestor of the Human Race. I've communicated with the remnant soul of Fellow Daoist Jian Er, so it's not surprising that I know about the Ancient Immortal Court. It seems you also held a position there," Wang Changsheng stated.
"The remnant soul of Fellow Daoist Jian Er? He has also passed away?" Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows' expression dimmed, and he sighed deeply.
"Yes! You know him, so you must also be from that era. He was a Protector of the Ancient Immortal Court. What about you?" Wang Changsheng asked.
Dao Ancestor Seven Rainbows gave a wry smile and said, "At best, I was just an ordinary Elder, nothing more."
"How many origin laws have you opened? And you were just an ordinary Elder? Was Fellow Daoist Jian Er's status very high?" Wang Changsheng asked, curious.
