Chapter 1123: Chapter 586: Eighth Life: Celestial Secret Daoist, Supreme Origin Divine Realm! (Part 2)
"Since you’re here, fellow Daoist, why not show yourself?"
As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh echoed from the void.
"Immortal Emperor Lu is indeed extraordinary, sensing our presence beforehand."
As the voice resounded, a boyish-faced, crane-haired elder with an immortal aura came stepping on the Law Dao, appearing instantly above the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
"I am the Celestial Secret Daoist, greetings fellow Daoist!"
The elder in hemp clothes had a stooped back, a face full of wrinkles and spots, exuding a thick death qi, looking no different from an elderly man on the brink of death.
However, when the other Ming Dao Venerables heard the name Celestial Secret Daoist, their expressions changed dramatically, as if something unbelievable had been said.
"Celestial Secret Daoist? Wasn’t he slain by the combined forces of various Dao lineages? How could he still be alive?"
Many veteran Venerables said incredulously.
It’s known that the Celestial Secret Daoist was a renowned Half-Step Immortal Emperor hundreds of thousands of years ago.
He had achieved Venerable status through fortune, capable of turning misfortune into blessing and using the world’s destiny for his own, claiming to comprehend all secrets of heaven.
However, the Celestial Secret Daoist’s prominence posed a subtle threat to the Dao lineages.
He had repeatedly refused the invitations of these lineages, which led to the Divine Fire Sect’s furious wrath, joining forces with others to wield the Immortal Soldier of Attainment and decisively kill him.
Yet no one imagined that the Celestial Secret Daoist would survive unharmed till now!
But Lu Yuan seemed quite calm about this; it was common in the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, full of talent, for someone to escape the hunt of an Immortal Dao Lineage.
"Have you also suffered an Injury of the Great Dao?"
Lu Yuan scrutinized the Celestial Secret Daoist, suddenly speaking astonishingly.
"Fellow Daoist truly has remarkable powers, seeing through my injuries at a glance."
Celestial Secret Daoist’s heart shook, and he smiled bitterly while shaking his head.
Back then, pursued by the Divine Fire Sect’s experts, he barely escaped with his life but was severely wounded by the Immortal Soldier of Attainment, and hasn’t recovered since!
"The evildoings of the Divine Fire Sect’s Immortal Dao Lineage were numerous. Fellow Daoist eradicating them completely is like fulfilling an old wish for me as well."
"Thus, I came specifically to thank you upon learning of this."
Celestial Secret Daoist clasped his fists in greeting.
"No need for formalities, I only destroyed the Divine Fire Sect to settle personal grievances, not deserving of such concern from you."
Lu Yuan spoke blandly, not relaxing his vigilance despite the Celestial Secret Daoist’s courtesy.
The Injury of the Great Dao is almost incurable.
The Celestial Secret Daoist, having been severely injured by the Immortal Soldier of Attainment, had also suffered significant Origin damage, leaving him in dire straits.
If he cannot heal in time, he likely won’t live much longer.
So, how could he act recklessly over such a trivial matter?
"To be frank, I am gravely injured and have little time left."
"I came this time without any ill intent, only to offer a reminder."
The Celestial Secret Daoist wore a bitter smile, apparently discerning Lu Yuan’s wariness and caution towards him.
"What do you mean by this?"
Lu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, a hint of curiosity surfacing in his heart.
"This place is crowded with prying eyes. Could we possibly continue this conversation elsewhere?"
The Celestial Secret Daoist’s expression was solemn, as if what he was about to discuss was of great importance.
"Very well."
Lu Yuan nodded, opening the Sect Protection Array and allowing the Celestial Secret Daoist to step onto the Main Peak.
He then set down layers of prohibitions, isolating all surveillance.
With these arrays and prohibitions, not even a Peak Immortal Emperor, let alone a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, could breach the array’s defenses.
Furthermore, if the Celestial Secret Daoist harbored malicious intent, Lu Yuan could instantly suppress him using these prohibitions.
Celestial Secret Daoist had no objection, stepping directly into the Sect Hall.
"Celestial Secret Daoist, for what purpose have you visited this time?"
Lu Yuan asked.
"Have you ever heard of the Supreme Origin Divine Realm?"
Faced with Lu Yuan’s inquiry, the Celestial Secret Daoist did not answer immediately, instead turning the topic to pose a new question.
"Supreme Origin Divine Realm? Do you mean..."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, pondering for a moment, before suddenly feeling a shock, as if he had guessed something.
"Indeed."
The Celestial Secret Daoist nodded, confirming Lu Yuan’s suspicion.
"As Quasi-Immortal Emperors, we are naturally privy to more unknown secrets."
"Moreover, as you are a reincarnated Great Power from the Outer Domain, you must also be here for the legacy left by the Supreme Origin Saint Master."
The Celestial Secret Daoist did not hide anything, revealing all the information he knew.
And upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan finally understood the entire story.
According to the Celestial Secret Daoist’s account,
the Supreme Origin Divine Realm was the place where the Supreme Origin Saint Master attained enlightenment, and also where he fell—it’s the core area of this world.
When the Supreme Origin Saint Master fell, he left all his cultivation and Law Origin in this realm.
If anyone could obtain his Divine Collection, they would inherit all the Supreme Origin Saint Master’s legacy and become the dominator of this world.
"Presumably, you are also aware that every so often, Immortal Emperors leave this world."
"The reason they risk their lives to leave this realm is to venture into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, seeking the Divine Collection left by the Supreme Origin Saint Master."
"Not just them, even those supreme beings from the Outer Domain are vying for control of this realm as well."
When the Celestial Secret Daoist spoke of this, a flash of terror flickered in his eyes.
Back then, severely wounded, he wandered the outer domain of space but unexpectedly found fortune amid misfortune, stumbling upon an entrance to the Supreme Origin Divine Realm.
But as soon as he passed through this entrance and stepped into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, he witnessed an unforgettable sight.
Those supreme beings from the Outer Domain stood like ancient deities above the firmament.
Their figures were hazy, unknowable, invisible, indescribable.
The overwhelming divine pressure filled every corner of the heavens and earth.
The mere sight almost shattered the Celestial Secret Daoist’s divine soul, nearly resulting in his immediate death and annihilation of his Dao.
If not for his timely retreat, he might have perished in that divine realm!
"Ancient deities, beings from the Outer Domain?"
Lu Yuan fell into silence upon hearing these words.
He hailed from the Main World, knowing more secrets than the Celestial Secret Daoist.
If he was not mistaken,
those ancient beings mentioned by the Celestial Secret Daoist were likely the God of Illusion and the Blood God, these dark deities!
These deities had already established Divine Countries and successfully condensed their Divine Formats as Tenth Rank Main Gods.
Their terrifying power was not something comparable by Immortal Emperors of Attainment.
If not for the uniqueness of the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm preventing those ancient deities from descending personally,
the Celestial Secret Daoist, upon seeing their true forms, would have immediately lost his sanity, going insane and perishing directly!
"Though I only stayed briefly, I could clearly perceive that the laws of the Supreme Origin Divine Realm fundamentally differ from the Heaven and Earth Laws of this world."
"If we could linger in this divine realm for a while, not only could we recover all injuries, we might even seize the chance to ascend directly to the Emperor Realm!"
Seeing Lu Yuan remain silent, the Celestial Secret Daoist hurriedly spoke.
"You are right, this divine realm is indeed extraordinary. If we could cultivate there for an extended period, achieving Immortal Emperor of Attainment might be but a start."
After contemplating for a moment, Lu Yuan finally spoke.
According to the Will of the Heavens, the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm was a fabricated world created by the God of Illusion using lies and illusions.
But the Supreme Origin Saint Master attained divinity through the Refining Dao, possessing the skills to refine illusion into truth and transform emptiness into reality.
And as the Supreme Origin Saint Master’s place of attainment, the Supreme Origin Divine Realm fundamentally differed from myriad world domains.
For it truly existed!
Just as the Celestial Secret Daoist had said, if they could cultivate long-term in this divine realm, not only could they easily attain enlightenment and become emperors,
but they might even seize the opportunity to inherit all the legacies left by the Supreme Origin Saint Master, leaping into being supreme deities!
"Though your injury recovery is commendable, I can sense that like me, you still bear remnants of an Injury of the Great Dao within."
"The Injury of the Great Dao is nearly incurable. Why not collaborate with me, fellow Daoist, to enter the Supreme Origin Divine Realm together?"
The Celestial Secret Daoist watched Lu Yuan closely, finally uttering his intention.
