Chapter 534 Reciting poetry while meeting the leader is impolite.
The air seemed to be burning, with distorted flame patterns visible every now and then.
The intense primordial energy piled up into fiery clouds, illuminating the entire region in a crimson glow.
Bai Ze even saw crimson magma spewing out from the cracks in the ground.
"The temperature here must be over a thousand degrees, no wonder there's no sign of life."
Bai Ze said this while calculating the surrounding temperature.
"The temperature in the Sunset Abyss will only get higher."
Bai Xuanji's voice drifted over faintly, but she was nowhere to be seen.
She seemed to have merged into the void, not only her aura but also her physical form, which had become invisible.
Bai Ze searched the area multiple times along the way, even using the power of words to enhance his perception, but he still couldn't find Bai Xuanji's presence.
As for using words to make Bai Xuanji appear directly, Bai Ze is afraid of being discovered by her because Bai Xuanji's strength surpasses Bai Ze's. Therefore, he has not tried it yet.
However, this senior from the same clan was not stingy in answering Bai Ze's questions, such as about the Sunset Abyss.
The Ursus called it the Abyss of Purgatory, the Shinra called it the Cave of Tartarus, and the Eastern Xia called it the Abyss of Sunset—the abyss where the sun fell.
"Did a sun really fall here?" Bai Ze couldn't help but compare it to the sun on Earth.
The sun, which orbits Earth, is far larger than Earth itself. If the sun were to fall onto Earth, it wouldn't create a deep abyss; it would simply shatter Earth completely, melting it into nothingness.
The area of this part of the Mountain and Sea Realm is much larger than that of Earth. It's not impossible that this is a geocentric world.
But the sun still exists here.
"According to relevant research, it is indeed possible that the sun set there."
Bai Xuanji's calm voice rang out, "However, it's not the sun of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the sun of the Yuan Realm."
Bai Ze immediately became very interested.
"It is said that the sun of the primordial realm was eaten by some unknown and terrifying being," Bai Ze said.
"After investigation, Taiyi Academy proposed another hypothesis: that the sun of the primordial realm went to other worlds because of the intersection of worlds."
Bai Xuanji said calmly, "If Earth can interact with other worlds, then other worlds may also be able to interact with worlds outside of Earth."
The Taiyi Academy hypothesizes that the sun of the Yuan Realm was transported to the Shan Hai Realm by the convergence of worlds, which caused the Sunset Abyss to appear in this place.
"They even confirmed that deep within the Flaming Desert, countless years ago, there must have been a vast ocean, and the evidence is the presence of Gobi terrain here."
"But what about the sun?" Bai Ze flew up to a wind-eroded pillar and gazed towards the abyss of the setting sun.
"Taiyi Academy speculates that the sun briefly stayed in the Mountain and Sea Realm before eventually going to the Wasteland World."
Bai Xuanji's voice echoed in the scorching air, yet remained clear: "That world was destroyed by extreme heat, all life was extinguished, but excavations have revealed that a high-tech civilization once existed in the wasteland. Furthermore, the wasteland has three suns, and perhaps the sun of the primordial realm is among them."
It must be said that Taiyi Academy's speculation is quite well-founded.
Although there is still no conclusive evidence.
However, Bai Xuanji's description made Bai Ze realize something.
"Is exploration of the Metaverse not completely prohibited?" Bai Ze asked.
If there had been related speculation earlier, Taiyi Academy should have already released it.
It may not be made public, but with Bai Ze's authority, he would still be able to find out.
Even if he doesn't have enough authority, he can still use the Luo Shu to spy on things.
Since there has been no news at all, it can only mean that this speculation is recent.
"The prohibition on exploring the Yuan Realm applies to those below the Heavenly Gate. Heavenly Gate warriors can still explore the Yuan Realm," Bai Xuanji said calmly.
"That's true," Bai Ze also understood. "The main reason why exploration of the Yuan Realm is prohibited, besides the fact that the Yuan Realm is too dangerous, is the resurgence of the Great Freedom Demonic Sect. But the Great Freedom Demonic Sect doesn't have any Heavenly Gate Warriors."
Since the warriors of Tianguan were not afraid of the attack from the Great Freedom Demonic Sect, they naturally did what they were supposed to do.
"The Great Freedom Demonic Cult has now produced Heavenly Gate Warriors."
Bai Xuanji replied, "In the previous battle in the primeval forest, Principal Song of Yujing Martial Arts University was intercepted by the leader of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon. The Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon was already a Heavenly Gate Martial Artist and brought the Great Heavenly Demon Eye, which caused Principal Song to suffer serious injuries."
But it was precisely because of this that Song Tianyuan was transferred back to Earth by the God of War, replacing Wang Qingcang who was supposed to be on duty, and was given a warning by the Wang family and the Yanjing family.
Bai Ze was already aware of this matter, so he wasn't surprised to hear about it now.
His calmness, however, seemed to cause Bai Xuanji to misunderstand.
"Are you thinking about the Azure Heaven Golden Elixir?"
Bai Xuanji suddenly said, "Although exploration of the Yuan Realm is not completely prohibited, the fact that the Azure Golden Elixir has not been found has forced Mu Yaoguang to retreat to the rear for five years. Furthermore, we cannot rule out the possibility that a traitor was behind it."
That traitor... naturally refers to the third divine enemy, Shang Qingyang.
With him around, even if they find the Golden Elixir, it probably won't reach Mu Yaoguang.
Even the control over exploration of the Metaverse is likely the work of the Third Divine Enemy.
Back then, the Yun family was unaware that exploration of the primordial realm had never been completely prohibited.
It's likely that the Third Divine Enemy issued an order forbidding anyone below the Heavenly Gate from knowing about this matter. Even veteran heroes like Yun Cang are unaware of it.
The Third Divine Enemy may have been in seclusion all these years, but his influence on Dongxia has never ceased.
Bai Ze was quite surprised by Bai Xuanji's misunderstanding, but he had no intention of explaining.
He had been hiding his face and figure in the primeval forest, and explaining would expose him.
Just then, a fluctuation of qi appeared in the distance.
Even from a great distance, Bai Ze could sense the energy of both Buddhism and Taoism mixed within it.
Based on this alone, it can be confirmed that warriors from Dongxia have arrived.
Before coming here, Bai Xuanji had used some secret method to spread a message throughout the Flaming Desert. As long as one possesses the jade slip from Dongxia and enters the Flaming Desert, one can receive the message and then come to the meeting place.
That's right here.
Bai Ze smoothly changed the subject, "They're here, isn't Senior Sister showing up?"
"You are the envoy." Bai Xuanji gave the same answer as always.
After she finished speaking, she fell completely silent.
At the same time, several streaks of light were rapidly approaching from afar.
One of the beams, imposing and solemn, traversed the sky, manifesting various strange phenomena as it passed through, occupying the vast expanse and cleansing the fiery clouds.
The clear, melodious voice, like the cry of a crane in the heavens, echoed from afar.
"To attain enlightenment, one must rely on one's heart; to cultivate truth, one must rely on diligent practice."
Do not let the dust of the world obscure the spiritual pearl; let it always be protected by purity and emptiness.
With a single point of perfect clarity and freedom, one responds to all things as they are.
Only then can one see their true form; this is the path to immortality.
They made a strong first move, clearly intending to give Bai Ze a hard time.
"That's why I'm too lazy to meet with them," Bai Ze said in a low voice.
It's not that I think these martial artists are like the third-rate extras in novels, who would rush up to mock Bai Ze and try to humiliate him as soon as they see him, but simply that they have a clear understanding of themselves.
A few months ago it was seven stars, now it's nine stars, and it can even surpass ten stars. Who would believe that if I told them this?
Moreover, among the warriors who came to provide support, there were ten-star warriors. Why would they listen to a nine-star warrior?
The key issue is that they are still unaware of Bai Ze's strength; even the God of War himself only has a rough estimate of Bai Ze's power. After all, Bai Ze still has the trump card of making his words law.
Even with the orders of the God of War, it was useless.
Anyone who can cultivate to the tenth star must have some ambition. If they were to turn weak in the knees at the sound of the God of War's orders, they would never have reached this point, let alone broken through the Heavenly Gate.
This trip to the Flaming Desert was still very dangerous. Listening to a young junior might cost me my life.
In this situation, the best option is to reach a tacit understanding with Bai Ze, who is in charge, so that everyone can maintain a facade of harmony while actually going their own way.
Therefore, it is necessary to declare the gap in strength.
At a time like this, it would be abnormal for Bai Ze to find a Three Souls Realm martial artist who would obey him completely.
This reaction is perfectly normal.
But since Bai Xuanji had already brought him here, there was nothing he could do.
Following the Daoist energy, a beam of Buddhist light arrived in pursuit, even showing a tendency to arrive first despite being delayed.
At the same time, lotus flowers suddenly appeared in the sky, also starting with a poetic verse.
"After bowing three times, stand up and take your place; your lofty spirit is not comparable to the other peaks."
Since returning with the marrow, I have seen the heavens and earth seem lower than before.
The Sanskrit chant was initially faint, but gradually grew louder, possessing the power of a heavenly drum and the might of thunder.
"Reciting poetry when meeting a leader is impolite."
Bai Ze stood with his hands behind his back, the scenery around him gradually blurring, enveloping him in a distorted gravitational field. "Come down."
With a single command of "Come down," the gravity field takes shape.
The sky seemed to have dropped three feet out of nowhere, and the air showed obvious signs of settling due to the sudden increase in gravity.
The Daoist energy and Buddhist light that arrived first were pulled down simultaneously, and even the energy around their bodies also dropped layer by layer.
Taoist priests and monks appeared one after the other.
The Taoist priest who arrived first looked to be under thirty, with the appearance of a young man and an imposing demeanor. Eight extraordinary phenomena appeared around him, alternating continuously.
This must be someone from the Tushita Palace.
Nowadays, sects, whether Buddhist, Taoist, or others, do not emphasize seniority or history. The martial arts era began in the last century, and all sects had the same seniority and roughly the same length of history.
The status of a sect depends on only one thing: strength.
Because the Tushita Palace is the strongest, and because the pills they refine are the best, the Tushita Palace is the boss.
As the leader, his unique martial arts skills were renowned throughout Dongxia, and were known to everyone.
The "Eight Views of Primordial Chaos True Scripture" uses eight elements to form eight views, with eight phases circulating and encompassing all things.
This is also considered a Taoist esoteric skill comparable to the "Cantongqi" (the Book of the Three Kinships), but it is less comprehensive and therefore less famous.
The Cantongqi can be considered an encyclopedia, containing techniques such as Qi cultivation, divination, feng shui, spiritual refinement, dual cultivation, and even various unorthodox and secret arts.
The "Eight Views of Primordial Chaos True Scripture" is a pure cultivation method and does not include any side hustles.
Although the Cantongqi is more famous, the Hunyuan Bajing Zhenjing has already produced cultivators at the Heavenly Gate Realm. So far, only Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang have truly used the Cantongqi as their foundation.
Although the others had also practiced the chapters of the "Cantongqi", none of them had touched upon the general principles.
As for the other one, you can tell which temple he/she belongs to just by looking at his/her clothes.
Just like recognizing Master Dajue before, the one dressed simply was from Dadeji Temple, while the one dressed very elegantly was from Daxingji Temple.
At Daxing Temple, the higher the monk's status, the more luxurious their attire. The abbot even possessed a brocade kasaya adorned with the seven treasures of Buddhism, capable of automatically absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, serving as both a means of self-defense and an aid to cultivation.
The two were the first to arrive, and in order to demonstrate their strength, they displayed the aura of the tenth-star realm.
"One is Xu Lingguan, a direct disciple of the head of the Tushita Palace, registered with the Martial Arts Association as the 'Chongjing Zhenren'. The other is an elder of the Dade Temple, registered with the Martial Arts Association as the 'Weituo Xingzhe', with the Dharma name 'Zhencheng'."
Bai Xuanji still did not appear, but only introduced the monk and the Taoist to Bai Ze.
Among them, the Taoist Xu Lingguan was not very familiar with Bai Ze, but he had heard of the monk Zhen Cheng.
The monk from Daitoku-ji Temple who is said to have stabbed his fellow disciple in the back and had his fiancée stolen online is known as "Daideku the Divine Man".
Principal Shi Yin of Mingxin Martial Arts University hates his rival who stole his fiancée the most, and his senior brother the second most.
The two were simultaneously subjected to immense pressure, their own true essence feeling as heavy as ten thousand pounds, causing them to plummet to the ground and completely diminish their impressive entrance.
However, these two were indeed worthy of being the true disciples of their respective sects, ten-star martial artists. Although they were caught off guard and suppressed by Bai Ze, they were not completely crushed.
Xu Lingguan's body was surrounded by eight scenes that circulated, forming a world of its own, and he slowly stabilized in mid-air.
Even though the external gravity was strong enough to crush mountains, it couldn't add a single feather to its body.
With a single flip of his hand, the monk Zhencheng's body swelled up, and he stood on a golden auspicious cloud, thus dispelling the heavy pressure that descended from the sky.
Its golden body gleams, displaying a majestic and upright posture, like a Buddha descended to earth.
Daitoku-ji Temple existed before the martial arts era, but it truly became a martial arts school starting with the generation of Daikaku-hoshi.
Master Dajue's martial arts style has also deeply influenced his disciples and grand-disciples.
He was someone who, through his strong physique and unparalleled strength, managed to change his title from "Vajra Warrior" to "Great Virtuous Monk."
Master Dajue made the world aware that the "De" in Dadeji Temple is the same as the "De" in martial virtue.
The people in this temple are all full of martial virtue and are known for their strength, power, and ferocity.
At this moment, the monk, who seemed to be a Buddha descended to earth, stood in mid-air, looked down at Bai Ze, and said, "This guy is tough, you go first, I'll cover you."
The image of the Incarnation of Buddha was completely ruined.
"Master Zhencheng is still the same as always."
Xu Lingguan possessed the demeanor of a true disciple of the Tushita Palace, and had the grace of a beautiful woman amidst the mist and moon.
He flicked his sleeves and said, "Bai Tianyi's strength is indeed beyond expectations, but if he wants to command me, he will need to lend me a hand again."
