Chapter 920: The Ancestral Master Manifests

On the other side.

Yunmeng Great World.

Wangu Holy Land.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Accompanied by a series of rapid chime strikes, the Holy Land Disciples who heard the alarm were startled. They immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed toward the depths of the Holy Land without hesitation.

Soon, figures streaked in from all directions, gathering in front of the Hall of the First Ancestor.

“What exactly happened?”

“Someone triggered the warning inside the Hall of the First Ancestor!”

“The Sect Leader has already taken the Elders inside to search. I'm sure they'll catch the culprit soon!”

“If you ask me, it must be a spy sent by the Demon Sect!”

“I thought with the Heaven and Earth Society around, the Cultivation World was about to be at peace. I didn't expect the Demon Sect to be so arrogant, actually daring to covet the core restricted area of my Wangu Holy Land. It's truly outrageous…”

…

At this moment, the atmosphere on the solemn platform in front of the hall was tense. The Disciples were talking all at once, making various guesses.

Shortly after, a man dressed in Daoist robes with a primitive appearance hurried from a distance and landed in front of the Hall of the First Ancestor.

Upon seeing him, the few Disciples responsible for guarding the entrance immediately straightened their expressions and stepped forward to salute:

“Greetings, Senior Brother Daozi.”

The newcomer was none other than the Myriad Ages Dao Child, Tu Ruoxu. He looked at the Restriction outside the hall with a suspicious expression and asked with a frown:

“What on earth happened to cause such a huge commotion?”

Facing the inquiry of their Daozi, the leading guard Disciple did not dare to be negligent and replied respectfully:

“Reporting to Senior Brother Daozi, because of the incident where a thief sneaked into the Hall of the First Ancestor a few days ago, the Sect Leader ordered an increase in security here. Any sign of trouble must be signaled immediately.”

“Not long ago, the statue of the First Ancestor enshrined in the hall showed some abnormalities. Now the Sect Leader and several Elders are inside investigating the situation…”

Hearing the guard Disciple's explanation, Tu Ruoxu's eyelid twitched, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face for no reason.

However, he quickly composed himself, looked at the Hall of the First Ancestor shrouded in layers of Formations, and commanded:

“I see. Step aside first and let This Daozi go in to see what's going on.”

At this point, he gave a light cough and added solemnly:

“The Hall of the First Ancestor is the fundamental ground of the Holy Land's Legacy and the place where the tablets of past ancestors are kept. Now that there's a problem here, as the Daozi, how can I just stand by and watch? Don't you agree?”

“Uh… Alright, Senior Brother Daozi, please enter.”

Although normally, aside from the Sect Leader and several Mahayana Realm Mahayana Ancestors in the Holy Land, other Disciples did not have the qualification to enter the Hall of the First Ancestor, including the Myriad Ages Dao Child Tu Ruoxu.

But given the special circumstances, now that the Daozi had put it that way, the guards naturally didn't have the guts to stop him.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be denying their own Daozi's filial piety?

Therefore, the leading guard only hesitated for a moment before immediately stepping aside respectfully and having his subordinates temporarily remove the Formations at the door.

Seeing this, Tu Ruoxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked through the gate calmly.

Passing through a long corridor, he saw the Sect Leader and a group of Holy Land Elders standing respectfully before a massive statue, all looking lost and completely shocked.

Before he could go up to greet them, he was immediately stunned by the sight before him.

That statue of the Founding Ancestor, which was dozens of zhang tall and enshrined at the center of the hall, seemed to have come to life!

How could this be?!

Seeing this scene, Tu Ruoxu's mouth hung open, and his eyes nearly popped out.

The Elder depicted in the statue wore a high hat and a wide belt, looking like a transcendent immortal with a serene and indifferent expression. He was the Founding Ancestor of the Wangu Holy Land, Duan Cliff Master.

At this moment, the statue's eyes flickered with a ghostly light like candlelight, and its entire body was wreathed in wisps of Innate Primordial Qi. It truly seemed as if he had manifested!

Only by Cultivating the supreme Legacy of the Wangu Holy Land, the 'Huntian Primordial Scripture', to the highest level was it possible to emit such pure Primordial Qi.

Who else could achieve this besides the Founding Ancestor, Duan Cliff Master?

For a moment, Tu Ruoxu's mind was in a daze, and he instinctively wanted to step forward and pay his respects.

However, the statue had no intention of acknowledging him. It merely scanned the area below with a majestic and indifferent gaze and spoke slowly:

“As the founder of the Wangu Holy Land, I cannot bear to see the Juniors of my sect wasting their lives in this world where Ascension is impossible. I have come specifically to help you open an Ascension passage, allowing the Mahayana Cultivators of the Wangu Holy Land to enter the Immortal Realm!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted in an uproar.

Even Tu Ruoxu, who was about to say something, froze in place, his expression filled with disbelief.

What was going on?

The Founding Ancestor, who had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years, suddenly manifested and even planned to help the Mahayana Ancestors in the Wangu Holy Land fly directly to the Immortal Realm? This was too absurd.

Not just him, the high-level members of the Wangu Holy Land present also looked at each other. Beside their excitement, they were also somewhat bewildered, as if they had been stunned by a windfall from the heavens.

One must know that before the Founding Ancestor Duan Cliff Master disappeared, he was already a Cultivator of Mahayana Perfection.

Later, he seemed to have been provoked by the Demon Ancestor's Ascension. He left a letter and departed from the Holy Land, saying he was going to search for an opportunity for Immortal Ascension.

Since then, there had been no news. Although the Wangu Holy Land always claimed to the outside world that Duan Cliff Master had already ascended to immortality, the Cultivation World knew this was just a nice way of putting it; he had likely perished on the path of seeking opportunity.

Who would have thought that after so many years, Duan Cliff Master would not only manifest through his statue but also claim he could guide the six Mahayana of the Wangu Holy Land to the Immortal Realm? How could people not be shocked?

After the brief shock, the Sect Master of Wangu Holy Land immediately knelt before the statue and kowtowed with a devout expression:

“Thank you, Ancestral Master, for your grace!”

“We, your unworthy Juniors, can finally follow in your footsteps and ascend!”

The rest of the Wangu Holy Land's high-level members also knelt without hesitation, their faces filled with intense ecstasy.

Even though no Mahayana Ancestors were present, they were still full of excitement. Some were so happy they were almost in tears.

As long as they established a connection with the Ancestral Master in the Immortal Realm, when they Cultivated to the Mahayana stage, they could likewise easily travel to the Immortal Realm and ascend in a single step!

This kind of thing was ten thousand times more exciting than the Wangu Holy Land dominating the Cultivation World.

Feeling the increasingly fanatical atmosphere in the hall, Tu Ruoxu instinctively felt something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't quite say.

However, Tu Ruoxu was not stupid enough to voice his doubts at such a time. He could only force down the confusion in his heart and honestly follow suit by kneeling.

At this moment, the statue continued to speak:

“To open the Ascension passage, not only do I need to take action from the Immortal Realm, but a Heaven-Reaching Formation must also be established in the Wangu Holy Land.”

“This is the diagram for the Heaven-Reaching Formation. You must complete the arrangement according to the blueprints as quickly as possible. Once the Formation is built, the Disciples of our Wangu Holy Land will completely break free from the fate of being unable to ascend, flourishing forever and enjoying immortal blessings from then on.”

After speaking, a dark, abyss-like crack bloomed at the center of the statue's forehead. Immediately after, a Formation diagram filled with countless profound patterns slowly floated out and landed directly in front of the Sect Master of Wangu Holy Land.

The latter did not dare to be negligent, quickly holding it with both hands and promising:

“Please rest assured, Ancestral Master. This Junior will complete this Heaven-Reaching Formation with the fastest speed, even if it means exhausting the entire treasury of the Wangu Holy Land!”

“Very good.”

Seemingly very satisfied with the attitude of his descendants, a hint of a smile flashed in the statue's eyes. Then, the radiance retracted, and it returned to being a silent statue once more.

What should I do?

While many high-level members of the Wangu Holy Land gathered to study the Formation diagram, Tu Ruoxu's face was pale, and his expression was solemn to the extreme.

Although he couldn't yet determine if the so-called manifesting of the Founding Ancestor was real or fake, he knew very well that no matter what, for the Wangu Holy Land, building the Heaven-Reaching Formation was now a certainty.

Anyone who tried to stop this would be making an enemy of the six Mahayana Cultivators in the Wangu Holy Land. Even the Sect Leader wouldn't be able to withstand it!

To block someone from becoming an immortal is an irreconcilable enmity!

Thinking of this, Tu Ruoxu quietly exited the Hall of the First Ancestor and then cautiously went to a secluded place that shielded heavenly secrets.

Immediately after, he suppressed the various anxieties in his heart and fished out a uniquely shaped jade token from his storage bracelet.

After activating it, without waiting for the other party to answer, Tu Ruoxu took a deep breath and said with a grave expression:

“Little Red, something has happened here at the Wangu Holy Land…”
