Chapter 351: 196. Tao Tiantian’s Guess_2
Tao Tiantian pinched her brow, feeling an immense headache.
As it stood, their current combat strength consisted only of Xu Yuan and herself, both qualifying as Primordial Spirit combatants.
As for the remaining two, even if they were tied up, they wouldn’t match the strength of a single True Person of Primordial Spirit.
Tao Yaoyao? A Core Formation failure.
Lin Qingque? If it were her before the memory loss, perhaps she could barely stop an incarnation of a Monster Lord.
Now? She was not much better than Tao Yaoyao.
Facing five enemies with just the two of them, plus carrying two burdens, it looked like a doomed ending no matter how one saw it.
“Sigh, never mind, when the time comes, even if we fall here, we must find a way to ensure their safety first,”
Tao Tiantian exhaled.
Despite her injuries still being serious, after burning her life’s Essence Blood, stopping five incarnations of Monster Lords wouldn’t be difficult.
It’s just a pity, after I fall, the Nine Tails Heavenly Fox clan will probably fall into decline as well,
she thought with some regret.
Seated cross-legged high in the sky, Xu Yuan faced the slanting blizzard, so heavy that it felt like there was a mountain pressing down on him.
He knew this was the world’s dissatisfaction with him as an outsider.
Hence, that sensation.
“You do not welcome me? So what?”
A chill suddenly blossomed in Xu Yuan’s heart as he stood and howled towards the heavens.
It didn’t welcome him, but what of it?
Did he need the world’s welcome?
If the green mountains do not charm me, I shall regard them as worthless!
The next moment, amidst his howling, the tumultuous and shifting colors of the wind and snow collapsed with a boom.
In the world, strands of spiritual charm emerged, like a cage, attempting to imprison the rising divine bird that was he!
This was the oppression of the world, excluding the Spirit of the Secret Realm, on any creature attempting a breakthrough.
But within the rising momentum of the handsome youth, the cage was gradually pushed apart, the clouds dissipated, and the snow lamented.
The spiritual charm that weighed heavily on him like Mount Five Fingers also turned into streaks of flowing light and scattered.
For a moment, the scenery was picturesque, stunningly beautiful.
Boom!
In silence, as if something in the unknown had shattered.
Xu Yuan opened his eyes, and the overwhelming aura of a Nascent Soul mid-stage swept across the world, as if he had become the ruler of this land.
“This is…?”
Tao Tiantian’s eyes widened, finally understanding why his breakthrough was so tumultuous.
“The suppression of the heavenly laws from the Secret Realm?”
So that was it.
Tao Tiantian finally figured out the crux of the problem.
Usually, those who dared to explore the Immortals’ legacies in Secret Realms were either at the Return to Void stage, Mahayana, or at the very least, Primordial Spirit.
These individuals had profound foundations and were unlikely to experience breakthroughs within.
Therefore, she was unaware that the Secret Realm had rules suppressing realm breakthroughs.
It was unfortunate that by the time she realized it, it was already too late.
Tao Tiantian exhaled lightly, her expression grave as she gazed towards the horizon.
She could sense five demonic auras, unmasked, charging towards this place.
And one of them was the aura of the Dragon Lord, with whom she had battled not long ago.
Above the firmament, Xu Yuan slowly reined in his spreading aura.
Initially unable to control it after the breakthrough, it caused his aura to spill out, but now as he collected his spirit, the uncontainable energy naturally receded.
“…!”
Just as Xu Yuan was about to descend, he suddenly turned his head, as if sensing something, looking towards a far-off place behind him.
Somehow, he felt an unprecedented threat approaching.
This intense sensation of danger completely washed away the joy he felt from his breakthrough.
“The Dragon Lord and his entourage are coming.”
Below, Tao Tiantian conveyed via telepathy.
As expected.
Xu Yuan didn’t feel too surprised.
Throughout his journey since his transmigration, only the collaborative strike by the Return to Void Monster Lord had brought upon such a great crisis.
In Dawn City, even though he was facing a Return to Void ancestor from the Confucian-Mo Pavilion, he acted too quickly.
He had no preparation at all.
Moreover, with the various schemes and the self-sacrifice of Tian Liuli, he actually didn’t have such a profound experience.
As for the incident not long ago, Tao Tiantian was after all the main force dealing with them, and at most, he was just supporting from the side.
But this time, if nothing unexpected happened, he was probably one of the main forces.
Tao Tiantian was planning to try setting up a formation, preparing thoroughly to deal with them.
But after reconsidering, she suddenly realized something was not quite right.
“Wait, did you just break through under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules?”
Her gaze towards Xu Yuan became a bit vacant.
“Did I? What about it?”
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Hadn’t he just broken through right in front of her eyes? Why was her reaction so intense?
“You’ve succeeded in breaking through? How is that possible?”
Tao Tiantian was very shocked, as she had been too engrossed in the news of the Dragon Lord’s approach and hadn’t noticed at the moment, but now reflecting on that scene, she felt increasingly alarmed.
“The rules within a secret realm are usually derived from the Dao of fallen immortals. If it is explicitly stated that one cannot break through in this place, then generally only those who are higher in realm or those who possess a stronger foundation in the Dao would be able to break through here, but you clearly don’t meet either condition.”
After saying this, Tao Tiantian fell silent.
There was another possibility, but she felt it was very unlikely.
It was that the “Heavenly Dao Consciousness” of this world had actively avoided him!
But this method was even more improbable.
The Heavenly Dao is unkind and treats all beings as straw dogs.
After the fall of an immortal, their inner world turns into a secret realm, where the remaining consciousness interweaves with the Dao rules they cultivated, forming the operational rules of this secret realm. This is equivalent to an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao consciousness of the Mortal Realm, maintaining the rules in a cold and mechanical fashion.
To break these rules, one either has to forcefully transcend the binding rules with a higher realm or to convince others with Dao, exploiting the loopholes with a more profound Daoist Charm.
To let this Heavenly Dao-like, consciousness-less secret realm rules actively make way for him, as if opening a convenient door…
Unless he, like them, was a reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, there was no chance of that happening.
But how could he possibly be the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor?
Wait a second?
Tao Tiantian suddenly remembered something.
Leaving aside that she and Tao Yaoyao were the Heavenly Masters of the Dreamscape Demon God Sky, his junior sister also seemed to be the reincarnation of an immortal, and his fiancee Dao Companion glimpsed remotely, appeared to be an Immortal Emperor too?
Who can be certain that he definitely cannot be the Immortal Emperor?
But, if he was also a reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, which one could he be?
In the Nine Heavens, apart from the Heavenly Master of Pure Yang Harmony, she had basically met all of them, even the Heavenly Master of Jade Emperor Liuli Heaven, which Jing Lixue said had no Heavenly Master, she knew who it was.
Yet none matched him…
Wait, if that was the case, then the Immortal Monarch in the simulation wasn’t his true past life?
Then… what was his purpose in approaching Tao Yaoyao?
Cold sweat began to form on Tao Tiantian’s back, as the thought terrified her.
“Could it be that you’re overthinking?”
Xu Yuan felt somewhat surprised. “I only felt it was suppressing me, not wanting me to fail my breakthrough, but I didn’t sense any definite consciousness that would prevent me from breaking through.”
“Is that so?”@@novelbin@@
Tao Tiantian cast aside the messy thoughts in her head and forced herself to calm down.
Now, pondering whether he was the Immortal Emperor or not didn’t hold much significance.
The most important thing was how to get through the current predicament.
“Regardless of the rules of this secret realm, since you’ve already successfully broken them, I think, perhaps we can use this to our advantage, to create a little surprise for them.”
Tao Tiantian, feeling the spirits of the secret realm rushing from all directions, spoke with a smile, but her eyes shone with an extreme coldness.
If the Dragon Lord and his companions were so relentless and aggressive, then even in death, she would tear a piece from them.
“Oh? A surprise?”
Xu Yuan looked at her as if she suddenly had a good idea.
“What do you mean?”
