A great calamity befell heaven and earth.
David frowned slightly.
He had never heard that word before.
“Senior, what is the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth?”
The man in white shook his head. “I don’t know either. The Daoist ancestor’s prophecy only mentioned these four words, without any explanation.”
But I suspect it will be a disaster capable of destroying the heavenly realm. All power in the heavenly realm would disappear in that calamity.
The only one who can stop the disaster is the inheritor of the Great Luo Golden Scripture.
He paused, looked David in the eye, and said, “It’s you.”
David was silent.
He never imagined he would take on such a mission.
He just wanted to become stronger, find the Chaos Dao Palace, save Wan Jianxing, protect the people he wanted to protect, and find his father.
He didn’t want to be a savior, didn’t want to unite the Daoist sects, and even more so he didn’t want to save the heavenly realm.
But fate seemed to deny him the right to choose.
The man in white handed him the storage ring.
David took the storage ring and probed it with his divine sense.
The resources in the storage ring were much more than what he had obtained from the Temple of Light.
There were hundreds of millions of crystals, of various grades, including millions of top-grade crystals. There were also hundreds of thousands of pills, from healing pills to cultivation enhancing pills, from low grade to high grade pills, they were all available.
These resources were enough for him to break through from the eighth rank of the True Immortal Realm to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The man in white took out a piece of gold jade paper from his pocket and handed it to David.
“This is a map left behind by the ancestor of the Daoist sect, which marks the location of all the branches of the Daoist sect across the countless realms. From the 1st heaven to the 36th heaven, from the celestial realm to the other realms, but they are all scattered, and none of them submit to the others. You need to find them and reunite them.”
David took the jade scroll and probed it with his divine sense.
A huge map unfolded in his mind.
The map was marked with tens of thousands of dots, with each dot representing a branch of Daoism.
Some of these branches have close relationships and interact frequently;
Some of them never spoke to each other again, considering each other to be heretics;
Some even have deep hatred, and they will fight to the death every time they meet.
Putting these branches back together is more difficult than climbing to heaven.
The man in white seemed to have read David’s thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“This is difficult, isn’t it?”
David nodded. “This is difficult.”
“But you have to do it.”
The white-robed man’s voice contained an undeniable firmness, “Because only a united Daoist sect can withstand the calamity. However, you must find the three keys to open the Chaos Dao Palace. Only by opening the Chaos Dao Palace can you obtain the complete inheritance of the Daoist sect’s ancestors.”
He paused, looking David in the eye, “This is a road of no return. Are you ready?”
David was silent for a long time.
He stared at the storage ring and jade slip in his hand, and the white-robed man’s golden eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind.
In the mortal world, in the battle between the heavenly and human realms, in the massacre in the heavenly realm, saving Bei Mingyuan in the Land of Returning to Nothingness, finding the Heart of the Cold Abyss in the Bei Ming Cold Abyss, destroying the Hall of Light in the Blue Cloud Cave, and fighting against the skeleton of a half-step saint in the ancient battlefield
He had traveled so far and experienced so many life and death situations, that he had not decided to turn back.
“Ready?” David’s voice sounded calm.
The man in white nodded, his smile growing wider.
“Very good.” His voice sounded relieved. “My time is almost up. Before I disappear, there is one more thing I must tell you.”
He walked over to the stone coffin and placed his hand on it.
The sealing runes on the stone coffin lit up simultaneously, and the dark red light illuminated the entire tomb chamber with a blood-red hue.
The runes spun wildly, as if releasing some kind of pent-up power.
Then, the bottom of the sarcophagus cracked and opened.
A dense chaotic aura gushed out from the gap. The color of the chaos aura was not the purple that David was familiar with, but a darker, more ancient grey.
The gray color contained the initial power of all things, the law of creation of heaven and earth, and a higher level of chaotic power that David had never encountered before.
At the bottom of the sarcophagus was a gray bead the size of a fist.
The surface of the bead shimmered with gray light, within it were faintly visible countless tiny runes, each rune representing a law.
Time, space, life, death, creation, destruction, light, darkness, fire, ice, thunder, storm all laws were intertwined, fused, and coexisted within that bead.
