Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

It had been several months since they arrived home, and despite eating snacks every day, she hadn’t grown at all, which made Shen Yuan feel like a worried old father for his child’s healthy growth.

However, just at that moment, Shen Yuan seemed to hear a super low whisper, as if from a mosquito.

“Could it be another sentient thought brought by the seed of Gods Purging

Divine Power?”

“But 1 remember I turned off those voices, why did they suddenly come back?”

Shen Yuan felt puzzled and scratched his head, continuing to mix the cat food in the bowl.

Far away, in Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, at the Forefathers Palace, Ancestor Gong looked at the plaque at the top of many, his face showing puzzlement.

In the 8th year of Great Yin’s reign, he clearly remembered that the Sect Master he had always worshipped suddenly vanished, even the plaques of past forefathers had their names erased.

What’s more, he could clearly remember the existence of the Sect Master, he even remembered intersecting with brothers and sisters from the sect, but he totally forgot the name of the sect.

This made Ancestor Gong terrified, constantly wanting to find the trace of the Sect Master.

However, in the several hundreds of years following the Great Schism, he had not received any related information.

Ultimately, before he went into hibernation, he had relayed a message to the disciples of Mount Laojun to search for the Storage Ring, hoping to locate the Sect A^laster through the inheritance of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power.

After ten thousand years, he finally received news of the Sect Master again. When he prayed to the past forefathers, those plaques with blurred names remained silent in response.

Only the plaque of the Founding Ancestor, which had always been symbolic, suddenly shone with a faint glow.

“The Founding Ancestor? Didn’t he ascend to the Upper World to become a forefather a long time ago?

I remember during the grand ceremony of all generations of the sect, the Founding Ancestor never responded, let alone my incense offering as a discarded disciple of the sect.

Is there something wrong?”

The confusion in Ancestor Gong’s heart deepened.

His gaze suddenly shifted to Mo Li, who was standing on the side with a fearful face, and he said in a deep voice,

“Where did you get this ring? And how did you know the Storage Ring 1 was searching for is exactly like this?

Tell me everything you know!”

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Mo Li looked at Ancestor Gong, who had suppressed the formation of the Grotto Heaven with a wave of his hand and casually worshipped the forefathers of other sects in the Forefathers Palace.

Even though he knew Ancestor Gong was a person who never played by the rules, he was still sweating profusely from the situation.

Now facing Ancestor Gong’s questions, he had no choice but to answer honestly,

“This Storage Ring was sold in Yunfu Market by a distinguished guest surnamed Shen. In total, thirteen Storage Rings were sold by that same distinguished guest to the sect.

I came to find you, old ancestor, under the guidance of The Ancient One from the Blessed Land of Lang Huan.”

“Surname Shen? The Su Ancient Book Immortal?”

Ancestor Gong’s voice unconsciously raised a few degrees, the pupils of his eyes reflexively trembled.

“The Supreme Taoist mentioned in the prophecy of the sect also has the surname Shen. Could it be him?”

“No! It was claimed within the sect that the Supreme Taoist does not really exist but was merely a stratagem for public sentiment for the forefather’s prophecy.

This rumor was even endorsed by a few true disciples. Did the true disciples make a mistake?

Ancestor Gong found it hard to believe.

Despite being expelled from the sect, he still believed the words of the true disciples without a doubt and viewed all actions from the outside world related to the incarnation of the Supreme Taoist as mere jokes.

But ten thousand years later, a suspiciously similar character to the Supreme Taoist appeared. This made him increasingly confused.

“Tell me everything else!”

“After the distinguished guest surnamed Shen sold the Storage Ring, he swept all the auction items in the trading conference. Later, the monsters and Mountain Gods of Yunfu came forward, claiming that the distinguished guest was the murderer who had killed other Mountain Gods and wanted to take him

away.

In the end, the guest appeared, prompting all the local deities including Yunfu Mountain Lord, to kneel and salute him, addressing the distinguished guest as Divine Monarch.”

ii

Yunfu Mountain Lord? That Heavenly Court Canonical God? And this title,

Divine Monarch.”

Ancestor Gong’s gaze deepened, as he fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Ancestor Gong waved his hand, ripping open the space of the Grotto Heaven. He reached into the deep space rift with his right hand and casually took out a large piece of dark black spirit wood.

The black spirit wood emitted a quiet aura, carrying a hint of cold intention, the patterns on it outlined distorted faces like ghosts.

Mo Li only felt that the black spirit wood looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

Just then, a terrified roar came from outside the Forefathers Palace.

“The Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood has withered!”

“Quick, send a Spirit Plant Master over there to see what happened?”

“The heartwood? The heartwood of the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood was dug out? Who has the audacity to cause trouble in my Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens!”

Listening to the angry voices of a few real beings, Mo Li couldn’t help but swallow and look at the huge black spirit wood in Ancestor Gong’s hand.

At this moment, Ancestor Gong was carving the Spirit Wood into a plaque, with a large amount of wood shavings and fragments falling on the ground, making Mo Li wish he could pick up each piece of them.

Xuan Yin Wood is a treasure to Ghost Cultivators. A cultivator who just died can become a Ghost Cultivator with a high probability if one can put his Spirit Soul into a piece of Xuan Yin Wood.

As for the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood, it needs to be nourished in a special way for over ten thousand years, and it can support a True Monarch in the Void Refining Realm to convert to Ghost Path.

If it were before the Great Schism, the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood, a treasure that needed time to cultivate, would not be rare, as it could be cultivated in a long span of time.

However, after the Great Schism, the three thousand years period of Spirit Energy depletion destroyed countless treasures, and the ordinary sects had no surplus energy to cultivate the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood.

Apart from what was left of it in Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood could be said to be the most important treasure of Mount Laojun.

Yet the heart of such a treasure was casually used by Ancestor Gong to make a nameplate.

The shouts from the True Beings outside became quieter, hinting that they had gradually realized that the heart of the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood had been taken by Ancestor Gong.

All the True Beings acted as if nothing had happened and returned to their stations.

It was then that Mo Li truly realized how unrivalled Ancestor Gong’s status was within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

In Ancestor Gong’s hands, the nameplate quickly took shape. No wording was embossed on the front of the nameplate.

After a moment of contemplation, Ancestor Gong pulled out his index finger and left four large characters on the nameplate.

Supreme Taoist!

As Mo Li’s gaze fell upon these four characters, he felt as if the domineering intention to dominate an era was coming towards him.

Noticing Mo Li’s gaze, a smile crept up on Ancestor Gong’s withered face.

“I see you are gifted. If you advance one step further and reach the Spirit Transmutation Realm sooner, perhaps one day you can become the Taoist of Mount Laojun and fight for that bit of vitality.”

Hearing Ancestor Gong’s words, Mo Li didn’t show any happiness, but seriously stared at the nameplate in Ancestor Gong’s hand and said,

“I dare to ask, if I become Mount Laojun’s Taoist, how far would I be from him?”

“From him?”

Ancestor Gong laughed out loud, “It’s good for a young man to be confident, but if he sets his sights too high, it would be overreaching.”

“The Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens that backs Mount Laojun is only one of the thirty-six little grotto heavens. If you become Mount Laojun’s Taoist, you would only be the pride of the heavens in one of the thirty-six little grotto heavens.

Above the thirty-six little grotto heavens are the ten great grotto heavens. They produce a steady stream of holy sages whose lines of succession are passed down from the upper world, pointing directly to the Immortal Path.

Below the thirty-six little grotto heavens, there are still seventy-two blessed lands. Amongst them, a few aspiring talents could potentially contest with the thirty-six little grotto heaven’s Taoists.

Your talents may seem extraordinary, but you are just one of the talents of this sect.”

Mo Li was slightly stunned, “The sacred sage of the ten great grotto heavens, the Taoist of the thirty-six little grotto heavens, and the aspiring talent of the seventy-two blessed lands.

So, where does this Supreme Taoist stand?”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Gong let out a faint laugh and pointed his index finger toward the sky,

“Above all, naturally above the grotto heavens blessed land!”

“There’s no one in this era who can match him. Numerous Taoists and holy sages refrain from facing him. Even senior experts of Immortal Dao who have made a name for themselves dare not cross paths.

His existence is destined to dominate an era!”

Mo Li felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He had thought he was already one of the most brilliant talents of his era, but it turned out he was merely being short-sighted.

Seeing Mo Li’s reaction, Ancestor Gong sighed inwardly.

There are too many rumors about the Supreme Taoist; killing the holy sage of Juron Huayang in the Secret Realm, participating in the Demon Transformation chaos, sparing the Yin Yang Hehuan Dao demoness. His myths have become part of the Cultivation World.

Behind his glorious reputation, many people are not aware that they have never actually seen the Supreme Taoist.

Those who have come into contact with the Supreme Taoist are either dead, missing, kept their distance, or even many of his brothers within the sect have never seen the Supreme Taoist who rose from a errand runner disciple to the top.

A few familiar True Beings once said that the so-called Supreme Taoist is likely a creation of the sect to fit the prophecy of the Ancestor. The Supreme Taoist might not really exist.

However, this claim has not been verified and is only circulated within the sect.

Ancestor Gong firmly believes in this, but the news about Yunfu Street made him hesitate.

If the esteemed guest who sold the Storage Ring is indeed the Supreme Taoist, he is indeed qualified to inherit Pot’s Heaven Divine Power. Furthermore, with the power of the Supreme Taoist, it is not impossible to overcome several local deities and achieve the position of the Divine Monarch.

As his confusion deepened, Ancestor Gong decided to write the Supreme Taoist’s name on the nameplate as well and plan to use the sect’s sacrificial method to investigate the truth.

If it is indeed Elder Brother Supreme Taoist, it wouldn’t hurt for him to worship him.

Placing the nameplate on the lowest layer, Ancestor Gong lit the nine sticks of incense again. The mixed green smoke of the incense slowly drifted into the void as Ancestor Gong performed the rites and bowed again, saying,

ii

Disciple Gong Buhuo, again invokes the forefathers and Elder Brother Supreme Taoist!”

The next moment, a tiny light illuminated simultaneously from two nameplates above.

The nameplate of the founding ancestor on the top and the nameplate of the Supreme Taoist at the bottom mirrored each other, and the brightness was almost the same.

Ancestor Gong even felt that the two nameplates eventually pointed to one life left in the Primal Chaos Realm.

Like a bolt from the blue, Ancestor Gong’s expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

“The Supreme Taoist does exist, but why does the nameplate of the founding ancestor also…”

Suddenly, a shocking thought rose in Ancestor Gong’s mind.

“The legend of the Supreme Taoist has been spreading, but the Taoist has never appeared. This is because the sect is deliberately covering up the truth.

Even several true disciples said that the Supreme Taoist does not exist, they are also deliberately confusing people because the sect is afraid that the true identity of the Supreme Taoist will be exposed.

The fact that the sect has gone to great lengths to hide the Supreme Taoist’s identity proves that the true identity of the Supreme Taoist is extraordinary and could potentially cause upheaval throughout the Primal Chaos Realm if revealed. Many adversary sects would make moves against him.

“All of this is because, the Supreme Taoist, is the reincarnation of the Founding Ancestor!”
