Chapter 476: Space-Time Guidance

For the Demon Abyss Ancestor, whether it was the Immortal Realm or the Demon Abyss,

there were basically no secrets.

To lock onto a certain lifeform, regardless of where they were located,

even if they were in the Immortal Realm Source Land, they could not escape.

But now?

The Demon Abyss Ancestor wanted to lock onto Lin Yuan's exact location,

yet found it completely impossible to determine the other party's coordinates.

This made the Demon Abyss Ancestor feel uncomfortable and puzzled.

It was as if a person appeared right before you,

yet you could see him but not touch him.

The higher the life level of the Experts and lifeforms, the more confused they would be when facing such a scene.

"What is going on?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's expression turned solemn; his consciousness, which had originally only partially awakened, actually began to awaken further at this moment.

If at the very beginning he was merely quite curious as to why the Demon Lord regarded by him as his children had died and fallen,

intending to find the perpetrator, kill them to exact revenge, and then continue sinking into slumber—

that was all.

Then right now, the Demon Abyss Ancestor had completely grown interested.

"Karma."

Countless Karma lines surfaced before the Demon Abyss Ancestor's eyes.

As a Dao Ancestor existence, the Demon Abyss Ancestor's comprehension of Karma rules was naturally extremely deep.

Although he had never met Lin Yuan directly, the latter had killed six Demon Lord and infinite demons.

Moreover, the Demon Lord and demons were inherently a part of the Demon Abyss Ancestor, especially the Demon Lord, who had a close relationship similar to descendants and Incarnation of the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Lin Yuan killing the Demon Lord was equivalent to generating a direct Karma connection with the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

With the aid of the Karma connection, the Demon Abyss Ancestor could easily lock onto Lin Yuan's exact location.

Swoosh.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's Karma lines were extremely numerous, connecting various parts of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss, and even extending partially beyond the Immortal Realm.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor immediately found the Karma line related to Lin Yuan and sensed along it.

"Hmm?"

"Still cannot sense it?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor was very startled.

The existence of the Karma line proved that the other party had not yet died.

Yet, despite not dying, he was unable to lock onto the positional range through the Karma line.

Next,

the Demon Abyss Ancestor consecutively employed dozens of methods to try and lock onto Lin Yuan's coordinates, all returning with no success.

Even though he clearly knew Lin Yuan was still alive and right within the Immortal Realm, within the Xuantian Immortal Domain,

the Demon Abyss Ancestor still felt it was like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water.

"It is space-time, a deeper level of space-time."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor sat on the throne, his brow furrowed.

Through probing from multiple aspects, the Demon Abyss Ancestor reached a conclusion.

The existence who killed the Demon Lord truly resided in the extreme depths of space-time.

Even he himself could not forcibly peer into and lock onto it.

"To want to travel to space-time this deep, one's comprehension of space-time must reach a certain height, at least exceeding mine—"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor thought silently in his heart. He was already at the Dao Ancestor level, yet space-time comprehension exceeded his? Could it be that another Dao Ancestor was born in the Immortal Realm?

But how could this be? The heaven and earth anomalies triggered by stepping into the Dao Ancestor realm were completely impossible to conceal, and currently, in the Immortal Realm and Demon Abyss, it was basically impossible for any lifeform to step into the Dao Ancestor realm.

"It is not a Dao Ancestor."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor was extremely certain in his heart.

"During the time I was slumbering, what on earth happened?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor thought to himself. Although he was certain the perpetrator was not a Dao Ancestor, being unable to lock onto their location was equivalent to being unable to do anything to the other party.

"All of you, return."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor couldn't figure Lin Yuan out, but since he had made a move against the Demon Lord, he presumably didn't quite like the demons in the Demon Abyss.

Therefore, at the very first moment, the Demon Abyss Ancestor began recalling all the infinite demons and Demon Lord that had invaded the Immortal Realm and were continuously running amok.

The so-called Immortal-Demon War was merely a game to the Demon Abyss Ancestor. Even if those demons and Demon Lord devoured countless Immortals, it would be of no help to him, the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Canghai Immortal City.

Four tyrannical Demon Lord looked down coldly. Below, a vast Immortal city was already tottering under the attack of infinite demons.

The City Lord and numerous top Jade Immortals resisted desperately, but to no avail. Before absolute strength, any resistance and struggle were futile.

"Hahahaha."

"Delicious food."

The four Demon Lord gazed at the Immortal city below with full greed.

Devouring Immortals and devouring demons of the same kind were completely different experiences, and the help to themselves was also different.

Right at this moment—

"All of you, return."

A low voice resounded in the spiritual level of the four Demon Lord.

"It is Father God! Father God is calling us back?"

The four Demon Lord were greatly shocked in their hearts. They originated from the Demon Abyss Ancestor, so they also regarded the Demon Abyss Ancestor as 'Father God'.

"Return."

"Father God telling us to return must mean there is a major matter."

The four Demon Lord looked toward the Immortal city below with full regret. Just a little longer, just a little longer and this delicious food would have been in their mouths.

But no Demon Lord dared to disobey the Demon Abyss Ancestor's command; this was an instinct branded into the deepest part of their consciousness.

Swish, swish, swish!

The four Demon Lord proactively retreated, and the infinite demons also rapidly dissipated.

In just a short moment,

the demons outside Canghai Immortal City had mostly disappeared.

"What… what is going on?"

The Canghai Immortal City City Lord had originally thought he was bound to die.

Even if he had left behind life-saving measures elsewhere, if he were to die at the hands of the Demon Lord, whether those life-saving measures would be of any use against that terrifying spiritual-level pollution was up for debate.

But now?

All the Demon Lord had retreated?

"We… we survived…"

Within Canghai Immortal City, countless Immortals wept for joy. They had never imagined that they could actually still survive? Those ferocious and tyrannical demons had proactively retreated.

Qianxing Immortal City.

It was still the scene of infinite demons attacking the city.

The heaven-supporting Demon Lord had almost all opened their mouths, just waiting for the Immortal city to be breached to devour the countless Immortals inside.

But the next moment,

the Demon Lord received the command from the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

They could only lead the infinite demons to retreat and return to the Demon Abyss.

Chuyu Immortal City, Shaohao Immortal City, Tianlun Immortal City. Across the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms, endless demons led by Demon Lord besieged Immortal city after Immortal city.

But at the very same time,

all the demons retreated completely. Even if the besieged Immortal cities were just a step away from being breached and stormed into, not a single Demon Lord dared to cross the boundary by a single step.

"What is going on?"

"Why did those demons all leave?"

"Regardless of why they left, we at least don't have to die."

"That's right. Being torn apart and eaten by demons is said to be extremely painful, and it will also suffer memory pollution."

After their initial confusion and shock, the numerous Immortals all became extremely energized. Who would want to die if they could live? Especially through such an extremely tragic death as being devoured by demons.

"Why did the demons retreat?"

"Is it a Dao Ancestor? Did a Dao Ancestor make a move?"

"Grandmaster should not have made a move."

"If a Dao Ancestor didn't make a move, then who did?"

Amidst their jubilation, the City Lord and other high-level giants likewise began to speculate on the reasons for the demons' retreat.

The most likely speculation was that a Dao Ancestor had made a move, but the Disciples of the Dao Ancestor lineage were also unaware of the inside story of this matter.

Logically speaking, if a Dao Ancestor had truly made a move, they, the Disciples of the Dao Ancestor lineage, would definitely know some wind of it.

Cangwu Immortal City.

In front of the Grade-A Immortal Cave.

The City Lord and many other high-level giants were respectfully waiting.

Suddenly,

the news of the infinite demons rampaging across the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms retreating was transmitted to the hands of the City Lord and other top Jade Immortals.

The Thirty-Three Immortal Realms were vast and boundless. Even as strong as Jade Immortals, continuously shuttling through the Void Realm to travel across all Thirty-Three Immortal Realms would probably take hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

However, the transmission of news was much simpler than traveling directly. Through the connection between Karma rules, Golden Immortal and Jade Immortal Experts could completely achieve 'instant communication'.

"All demons have retreated?"

"Proactively retreated? No other Experts made a move?"

"Why did all the demons proactively retreat?"

Doubts surfaced in the hearts of the City Lord and many high-level giants.

The duration of every Immortal-Demon War was calculated in millennia and tens of millennia. Now, only a few decades had passed, and it was still far from the end of the Immortal-Demon War.

Furthermore, in past Immortal-Demon Wars, even if it truly entered the Late Stage and was about to end, those demons would withdraw from the Immortal Realm sequentially and return to the Demon Abyss.

As for being like now? Almost at the exact same time, countless demons, including those Demon Lord, uniformly withdrew from the Immortal Realm, looking more like—

more like they were receiving a certain command.

And who could command the Demon Lord?

The Cangwu Immortal City City Lord and other high-level giants trembled in their hearts.

A name involuntarily surfaced in their hearts.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Aside from the Demon Abyss Ancestor, who could command the Demon Lord?

And it was even a command on this large a scale.

Yet why did the Demon Abyss Ancestor want to do this?

The City Lord and numerous high-level giants exchanged glances.

Although there was no explicit evidence to prove it,

they instinctively felt it was related to Lin Yuan making a move just now.

Because the time when these Demon Lord retreated was simply too coincidental.

They didn't retreat early or late, but retreated together precisely after Lin Yuan made a move.

This forced the top Jade Immortals present to make associations in this direction.

"The Demon Abyss Ancestor."

Monstrous waves churned in the City Lord's heart. If the speculation was true, it meant the existence they wished to visit possessed the ability to make the Demon Abyss Ancestor yield.

Although it could be said that the infinite demons withdrawing from the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss Ancestor yielding were not the same thing,

it at least showed that the Demon Abyss Ancestor was wary.

Inside the Immortal Cave,

in the cultivation area,

Lin Yuan was observing everything he could see from the perspective of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm.

After achieving comprehension of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, wherever Lin Yuan's gaze reached, the profound mysteries of the essence of space-time were all manifested. The space-time of the Immortal Realm, the space-time of the Demon Abyss, and even the space-time of this dimension operated in infinite space-time to form a stable world capable of allowing life to propagate.

Even the most ordinary stones, flowers, plants, and trees were affected by space-time. Once space-time collapsed, these existences would also vanish.

Space-Time operated and numerous rules stood side by side to form a stable everything. Watching all this, a sense of emotion abruptly welled up deep inside Lin Yuan's heart.

Wonderful.

Simply too wonderful.

At this moment, Lin Yuan no longer had any confusion. The space-time anomaly phenomena that he originally could not understand were all thoroughly comprehended at this moment.

It was as if in the space-time Domain, Lin Yuan was omniscient.

"That's not right." Lin Yuan quickly calmed down. His so-called 'omniscient' was merely a certain illusion, an illusion produced by a major level leap and receiving too much information.

In fact, upon careful thought, countless doubts arose in Lin Yuan's heart once again. For example, the deeper explanations of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm in the secret art 《Tianhe》, as well as the description of the space-time eighth-fold realm, both made Lin Yuan feel complex and tricky.

"Just take it slow."

Lin Yuan quickly calmed down.

"Those dozens of spying methods just now came from the deepest part of the Demon Abyss. It should be that Demon Abyss Ancestor?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. With his current space-time comprehension, he could naturally detect the spying of other Twelfth Order existences, and could even achieve counter-spying and locking on.

"I killed six Demon Lord, which probably alarmed the Demon Abyss Ancestor."

Lin Yuan thought casually, without any apprehension.

When he had first descended into the Immortal Realm, towards the Demon Abyss Ancestor and the Immortal Path Ancestor, Lin Yuan was still extremely solemn; at least the other party had hope of suppressing him.

But now?

The Demon Abyss Ancestor continuously used dozens of spying methods yet failed to lock onto Lin Yuan's true body; that had already explained everything.

"Making the demons proactively retreat back to the Demon Abyss? Quite cautious." Lin Yuan saw through the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms at a glance and shook his head slightly.

"They want to request an audience with me?" Lin Yuan glanced outside the Immortal Cave. Yun Zhenzi had already told him the news of the City Lord and other Jade Immortals requesting an audience.

On the throne inside the Immortal Cave,

Lin Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air and slowly sat down.

Below, the Cangwu Immortal City City Lord and a group of high-level giants stood respectfully.

"Thank you, My Lord, for making a move to save us. If not for My Lord, the hundreds of millions of Immortals in Cangwu Immortal City…" The Cangwu Immortal City City Lord immediately said respectfully.

"Just a casual action," Lin Yuan said calmly.

Making a move against those six Demon Lord was entirely because they had disturbed his seclusion.

"Then the demons in the other Immortal Domains that proactively retreated…" The Cangwu Immortal City City Lord cautiously probed and asked.

All the demons retreating being related to Lin Yuan was ultimately just speculation.

"That is the intention of the Demon Abyss Ancestor," Lin Yuan said.

This was also the truth. With Lin Yuan's strength, he could certainly easily crush demons, and Demon Lord were no exception, but he could not command these demons.

To want all demons to uniformly retreat back to the Demon Abyss like this, only the Demon Abyss Ancestor could do it.

"The intention of the Demon Abyss Ancestor." The City Lord swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Although Lin Yuan didn't state it explicitly, his tone when directly referring to the Demon Abyss Ancestor was in a sort of equal posture.

"Right."

Lin Yuan looked toward the trembling top Jade Immortals below and suddenly said, "Trouble you all to tell the outside world: after today, anyone who Cultivates the Martial Dao shall belong to my lineage."

The reason Lin Yuan saw the City Lord and the others was mainly for this matter.

For the Martial Dao Evolution Path to thoroughly spread across the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms, those Immortals had to be made aware of Lin Yuan's methods.

Letting the Cangwu Immortal City City Lord and other top Jade Immortals spread this matter was the most effortless way.

At least within the Xuantian Immortal Domain, the spread of the Martial Dao Evolution Path would not encounter any obstacles.

After stepping into the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, Lin Yuan no longer had any apprehension in this Immortal Realm, so he naturally had to consider spreading the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

The Thirty-Three Immortal Realms were vast and boundless. Once the Martial Dao could spread here, the help to Lin Yuan's Ultimate leap would be immense.
