Chapter 427: Chapter 65: Dao from Xuan Sheng, Dao from Self, Return
The Blind Daoist raised an eyebrow and deflected:
"Yes, yes, fine, fine... Off you go!"
With that, he kicked Lu Xuan right out of this passage of Years.
Watching that little rascal depart and vanish, the Blind Daoist beamed, then let out a snort.
For so long, Xiaoxuan had first traveled through the Spring and Autumn Period under the name Profound Clarity, then through Great Qin under the name Profound Yellow,
yet he had never once roamed the world under the title of Fusheng...
Thinking of this, the Blind Daoist pursed his lips and muttered to himself:
"Supreme and Spirit Treasure are busy. They don’t have time, they don’t have time!"
With that, he let out a hearty laugh, his heart feeling light and cheerful. The gloom that had been weighing on him for days suddenly vanished.
.........
「In the Great Chaos.」
The indistinct being frowned and said:
"Buddha Mother, what happened to you?"
The fragmented Maitreya Buddha Mother sighed.
"What else could it be? It was those three."
As he spoke, he sat upright upon the Great Chaos. Blood trickled from his seven orifices, yet he asked in a solemn voice:
"It seems there has been a change at The Beginning of Ancient Times."
"I know." The indistinct being frowned. "I don’t know the cause... I did send Lu Xuan to that passage of Years, but the disturbance at The Beginning of Ancient Times can’t have anything to do with him."
The Buddha Mother raised an eyebrow.p>
"Speaking of Lu Xuan, he’s far too much of a variable. I want to kill him."
The indistinct being glanced at the Buddha Mother and said nonchalantly:
"Is that what the Demon Ancestor wants as well?"
"Yes." The Buddha Mother nodded. "The Four Extremes Emperor in particular. He’s had some Immortals and Buddhas return early. The plan is to kill Lu Xuan in one month, in the Current World, during the world’s ascension."
The indistinct being scoffed.
"He’s Supreme’s disciple. It’d be a miracle if you actually managed to kill him."
The Buddha Mother just smiled.p>
"I don’t really care. The Immortal Mother and the Four Extremes Emperor are just pawns. I haven’t spoken with them in a long time."
After a pause, he asked:
"But this Demon Ancestor... what are his origins, exactly?"
"I don’t know."
"Even you don’t know? Then what about Profound Yellow, from the era of the Qin Dynasty?"
"That, I do know. But I’m not telling you." The indistinct being smiled faintly, then waved his hand meaningfully.
"Alright, go and tend to your wounds. I’d hate for you to just drop dead."
"To a Dao Fruit, life and death are but a state of being." The Buddha Mother smiled and turned to leave.
After he had gone, the indistinct being seemed to sense something. He beckoned with his hand, and Chu Tai materialized.
He asked:
"Is the matter in the Current World complete?"
Chu Tai shook his head.
"No. Haotian interfered and took Yan Jiangxue away."
The indistinct being’s smile froze.
After a long moment of silence, he erupted in fury:
"Haotian? Wasn’t Haotian nailed to that cliff? Why would he interfere?!"
Chu Tai shrugged.
"Haotian dragged the cliff with him and escaped from under the Stone Stele."
"How did he know about this?!"
"How would I know?" Far from being cowed, Chu Tai seemed to have a smirk on his face as he shrugged again.
"In any case, your scheme has failed."p>
The indistinct being was enraged, and the Great Chaos trembled ceaselessly.
A long time passed.
He took a deep breath. Suddenly recalling what Maitreya Buddha Mother had said, he glanced sideways at Chu Tai and asked coldly:
"You said before that Lu Xuan intends to marry Yan Jiangxue. When?"
"The time that was set... it coincides with the world’s ascension." After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Tai sighed and answered truthfully.
The indistinct being paced back and forth, then suddenly smiled.
"Go and pay a visit to the Four Extremes Emperor and the Immortal Mother on my behalf. Lend them a hand. Make sure that during the world’s ascension, they have those Immortals and Buddhas who returned to the Current World early... kill Yan Jiangxue as well."p>
Chu Tai opened his mouth, but ultimately just nodded. He bowed in silence and departed in silence.
Before he could depart, the indistinct being stopped him and said coolly:
"Remember, you are my proxy. If not for the need to evade the Goddess’s gaze, I would never have severed you into an independent entity. Remember your place."
It was a warning.
Chu Tai nodded silently, and his figure disappeared into the Great Chaos.
.........
「Deep in the Demon Tomb.」
The thirty-four Demon Saints and that Great Saint-level True Phoenix had all awakened. They surrounded the sleeping youth, sizing him up with curiosity.
"Let me devour him!" one Demon Saint snarled, stepping forward with a vicious glint in its eyes, only to be slapped aside by another.
"Don’t! This person has Lu Zi’s aura!"
"Lu Zi, Lu Zi, that’s all you ever talk about!" the Demon Saint retorted indignantly. "Let me ask you, what era is this? Lu Zi is long dead!"
Twelve of the Demon Saints flew into a rage, ready to unleash their Killing Skills as they faced off against the other twenty-two.
Suddenly, with a resonant HUMMM!!
The Demon Saints glanced over in surprise. They looked toward the young man, only to find in astonishment that a terrifying radiance was erupting from his body!
"That’s..." One Demon Saint’s expression changed. "Such dense Innate Material... No, wait. Is he undergoing Reverse Innate?!"
Under the horrified gazes of the Saints, all impurities were washed from the young man’s body. Bit by bit, he was returning from Postnatal to Innate!
An Innate Being!!
The next moment, the young man slowly opened his eyes, his aura surging violently.
The thirty-four Demon Saints retreated as one.
An Innate Being, by virtue of their physical body alone, regardless of Cultivation, was powerful enough to shatter an Immortal!
