CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 271: GREAT TAO FURNACE, INITIAL PROTOTYPE!

"Everyone, I completely understand your feelings, but I truly have no idea why these people appeared here, or even where they come from,"

the Purple Gold King took a deep breath and spoke sincerely:

"If you do not believe me, I can swear to the Heavenly Dao. If there is even the slightest falsehood in my words, I am willing to accept celestial punishment, to decompose between heaven and earth, and for my spiritual soul to eternally fall into Avici Hell!"

"I, too, can swear to the Heavenly Dao!"

"So can I!"

The elderly man with an air of immortality and the silver-haired old lady followed suit, speaking at the same time.

With these words, the leaders of various major forces under the Immortal Sect all frowned.

The three, including the Purple Gold King, exchanged glances, all able to see confusion in each other’s eyes.

Swearing to the Heavenly Dao is no joke.

For great cultivators like them, whose paths are already intertwined with heaven and earth, they have nearly reached the realm where words become law.

Such oaths will naturally be verified by the Great Tao, and any violation of these vows would result in serious repercussions!

So... if all three truly are unaware.

How did this mysterious group of people in black robes enter the Ancient Land Mini World?

As the three swore one after another.

The expressions of the leaders from various major forces slightly eased.

A Patriarch of a Noble Family asked, "This grand competition is held by the three Upper Sects. Even if you don’t know the situation, are you just going to ignore it? Shouldn’t something be done?"

"Rest assured, we three parties will take full responsibility for this matter."

The three, including the Purple Gold King, exchanged glances, their expressions filled with gravity.

This competition brings together the talents of the entire East Profound Domain!

One could say it represents the millennium fortune of the East Profound Domain and is by no means an exaggeration!

If all these talents were to die in this Ancient Land Mini World, it would not only be a severe blow to the East Profound Domain but also significantly impact their Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages!

It must be understood.

The great tree is rooted in the earth so it can grow tall.

If the land is destroyed, how can the tree survive?

"Everyone, we have already sent messages back to the lineage. Presumably, actions will be taken soon."

The three, including the Purple Gold King, spoke in a deep voice.

...

...

Inside the Ancient Land Mini World.

At the end of the east of the mini world, on the edge.

Within a haze of chaotic mist.

A handsome youth with black hair like a waterfall, wearing a dark long robe, was sitting cross-legged.

"This place is indeed an excellent hiding spot."

Chen Zhixing glanced around, praising out loud.

This place was not only shrouded in chaotic mist that blocked all exploration and scanning but also prevented sight beyond a mere ten zhang.

Besides that, many hidden void currents were lurking here, and with a single misstep, one could be swept into these streams.

Fortunately, he had broken the shackles of the Divine Thought Tao and cultivated the Divine Thought Tao Seed, allowing him to barely tread here.

"Take this opportunity to practice the Great Tao Furnace Scripture."

Chen Zhixing collected his thoughts, and a thin black ancient book appeared in his hand.

He opened the pages to read.

"The Great Tao is formless, birthing heaven and earth; the Great Tao is emotionless, moving the sun and moon..."

"The Great Tao is nameless, nurturing all things; I do not know its name, so I forcefully call it Tao..."

"However, the Tao is manifold, and human power is limited by the five decays of heaven and earth, hence forever pursuing but never achieving completeness. Thus one should cultivate a furnace to melt all Taos..."

Time slowly passed.

Chen Zhixing gradually immersed himself in the contents of the Great Tao Furnace Scripture.

The meaning of this book was simple: cultivate a Great Tao Furnace within the Spiritual Sea!

Once the Great Tao Furnace is crafted, place the Tao Seeds you cultivated into the furnace to refine them.

When the Tao Seeds merge, you will gain a completely new Tao unique to the master of the furnace!

A truly unparalleled Tao in the world!

"My nine paths are rather miscible, not only having the Great Tao of physical body and spiritual soul but also completely incompatible paths like ice, fire, thunder, and lightning."

"If these nine paths were to unify, what would be born?"

Chen Zhixing felt nervous but also full of anticipation and hope.

The next moment.

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath and began silently practicing according to the methods of the Great Tao Furnace Scripture.

Practice drags time along.

It is unclear how much time had passed.

Chen Zhixing gradually felt as if a small fireball had appeared within his Dantian Divine Sea, making his whole body and spiritual soul seem as though they were bathed in a warm ocean, entirely cozy.

"Is the prototype of the Great Tao Furnace about to emerge?"

Chen Zhixing hurriedly focused his inner vision.

He saw in his Dantian Divine Sea.

Streams of ancient golden light continuously intertwined and twisted, merging to gradually form a four-legged, two-eared square ancient cauldron.

"Is that the Great Tao Furnace?"

Chen Zhixing was slightly thrilled.

Under his heaven-defying comprehension, his progress in cultivating this method exceeded his expectations!

"Next is to fully manifest the Great Tao Furnace!"

Chen Zhixing’s eyes sparkled.

Just as he was about to condense the Great Tao Furnace in one fell swoop.

Suddenly.

Chen Zhixing sensed something, and his ears lightly perked up.

Off in the distance, beyond the chaotic mist.

A creature ten zhang tall, with skin entirely pitch black, two thick tusks protruding from a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and a pair of large black wings on its back, was swiftly fleeing through the air.

The creature spat blood and grew increasingly weak as it fled.

Behind it.

A figure in broad black robes, embroidered with golden cloud patterns and wearing a golden mask, slowly followed.

"Oh? You still have the Double-winged Fallen Celestial Demon bloodline?"

The whip-wielding black-robed person spoke with some surprise.

Crack—!

With a casual flick of the whip, the creature’s back cracked open, even leaving a scar on its Great Tao Foundation.

"Damn!!!"

The creature with large black wings roared in anger.

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

Boom!

In that instant, Peng Nai, having unlocked the Third State of the Double-winged Fallen Celestial Demon, suddenly turned around and charged with a roar and a punch towards the whip-wielding black-robed person!

Rather than being tormented to death slowly, it was better to fight to the death!

Even if it meant dying, it would die fighting!

"Foolish courage."

The whip-wielding figure coldly remarked, casually sweeping the whip, once again sending the charging Peng Nai flying back with a heavy blow.

Peng Nai’s dark body immediately opened up, revealing a whip mark deep enough to show the bone!

"Damn it!"

Peng Nai panted heavily, glaring at the whip-wielding figure.

Too strong!

So strong that it was beyond the power of the True Self Realm!

The physical power he prided himself on was utterly insignificant before this person, lacking even the slightest means of resistance.

No!

It’s not just him!

Even Gai Rong, the renowned Brother Master of the East Profound Domain competition, who is capable of sweeping through this True Self Realm, faced the same fate, taken down and absorbed into an ancient flag!

"Do you have any other bloodlines? Show them to me."

The whip-wielding black-robed man paused, gesturing with his finger.

"Do you think I’m a performing monkey?"

Peng Nai retorted fiercely.

BANG!

In an instant, he activated the Third State of the Double-winged Fallen Celestial Demon!

Rather than be toyed with and tortured to death, he would rather fight to the death!
