"Three Clear Grand Masters, please forgive disciple Yan Zhaoge's rudeness." Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "Vine Sovereign, you've personally experienced the Great Calamity. There's something I'd like to verify with you."
The Vine Sovereign's expression was calm. Based on Yan Zhaoge's previous words, she seemed to have guessed what Yan Zhaoge wanted to ask.
Yan Zhaoge didn't avoid it and looked straight at the Vine Sovereign who lived before the Great Calamity.
"Is the Elder Lord still alive?"
With just a short sentence, the entire room became silent.
Everyone's breathing seemed to have paused for a moment.
The two words "Elder Lord" seemed random. However, as members of the Three Clear Lineage, everyone knew what Yan Zhaoge was referring to.
The Elder Lord was referring to the Supreme Elder Lord, the Grand Clear Lord of Dao and Virtue of the Three Clear Grand Masters!
"You're asking if the Elder Lord appeared during the Great Calamity?" The Vine Sovereign's face was expressionless, and her tone was faintly discernible.
Yan Zhaoge answered honestly, "Yes."
When the Great Calamity had just arrived, as a part of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, he had lost his consciousness along with the destruction of the Divine Palace's Martial Repository.
After that, many years had passed since he reawakened in the Eight Extremities World.
Yan Zhaoge didn't have any relevant memories regarding the Great Calamity.
Back then, the Vine Sovereign's cultivation wasn't high, and her knowledge was limited.
However, the current Vine Sovereign had a special identity. Moreover, she had interacted with the Incongruence Divine Mother more than once. Perhaps, she already had some understanding of the past. In fact, she might even have a deeper understanding of the past compared to Gao Qingxuan, Suo Mingzhang, and Chen Xuanzong.
Yan Zhaoge looked at the Brocade Emperor – Fu Yunchi, "Brocade Emperor, the origins of your lineage can be traced back to a very long time ago. The founding grand master had once listened to the Elder Lord's teachings in the Tushita Palace for a period of time. However, he had left the Tushita Palace for too long. As such, he wasn't clear about the Tushita Palace's situation, as well as the Elder Lord's situation during the Great Calamity."
"After the Great Calamity, all the past grand masters had tried to find a path to return to the Tushita Palace, but to no avail." Fu Yunchi shook his head.
The Vine Sovereign looked at Yan Zhaoge and Fu Yunchi quietly. After a long while, she said, "Back then, my cultivation was still shallow. It was all thanks to the Divine Mother's protection that I managed to escape. As such, I naturally wouldn't know about the situation outside."
"Still, after the Great Calamity, I once heard the Divine Mother mention that the Elder Lord had not acted during the Great Calamity."
She said word by word, "However, according to the Goddess, the Grand Supreme Elder is still alive!"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, looking thoughtful.
The Vine Sovereign said slowly, "However, no one can figure out the Elder Lord's thoughts. We can't figure it out, and neither can the heretical cultivators."
Yan Zhaoge said softly, "If the Lord of Dao and Virtue had truly transcended, he might be able to understand."
Dao, Tian Tian Dao Sovereign., Dao Sovereign's Yang, Yang Yang Dao's Lord, Li's Yang Yang's Yang, who. Dao, who, Chen, and on, God.
Tian, and on, Shen Yang Yang Yan Chen on,,, Tian, on Dao, and God. on. Yan, Yang.,,,,,.,
There was essentially no difference between doing nothing and doing everything.
If he was willing to be impartial, then the Three Clear Lineage would be no different from the Buddhist Sect and the Outer Daos to him.
But no one could tell what he was thinking.
What was even harder to judge was whether he would suddenly change his mind.
Compared to this big shot, Chen Qianhua's so-called unpredictable thoughts were just child's play.
"But if he has really transcended, why is he still in this world? I don't see Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning or Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure either. "
A long time ago, Yan Zhaoge had found something strange.
After the Great Calamity, the orthodox Daoism had many things to do. On the other hand, the heretics, be it the Immortal Court or the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, were in their prime.
Under such circumstances, it was still fine for the Earthly Sovereign of the World beyond Worlds to act in a moderate manner.
But why hadn't the heretics made up their mind to eradicate the Roving Jade Heavens, which had always been radical?
After knowing that Daoism's Grand Heavenly Immortals like the North Star Emperor, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, and the Incongruence Divine Mother were still alive, he thought that he had found the answer.
After all, the existence of at least three Daoism Grand Heavenly Immortals might threaten the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' rule.
Once they succeeded, they would be able to cause a devastating massacre to the heretic martial artists and even the people beneath the Future Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
Even if the Future Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord took revenge, their losses would be hard to recover.
If one side suffered a huge loss, it would naturally give the other side an opportunity to take advantage of.
After all, they were mortal enemies to begin with.
Suo Mingzhang's ascension to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm twenty years ago and the ongoing war had proven this point.
As such, unless it was absolutely necessary, the heretics wouldn't go all out against the Dao universe.
Weakening the orthodox Daoism's control within a certain range was the best choice, similar to rearing sheep and shearing sheep.
That should be the case …
However, after knowing that not only did the Demon Race hide and recuperate, but the Western Pure Lands also existed, Yan Zhaoge felt that something was amiss.
Although the Demon Race and orthodox Buddhism had never entered the world, they were merely waiting for the right time to strike.
With them secretly restraining the heretics, the Incongruence Divine Mother and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's threat towards the heretics was greatly weakened.
Suo Mingzhang's Origin Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm was a rather unexpected event, which resulted in its influence lasting until now.
If that's the case, how did the Dao universe remain so stable before Suo Mingzhang ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm?
Yan Zhaoge had been thinking about these questions.
Then, he thought about his experiences in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace before the Great Calamity.
The Great Calamity had always been engraved in his heart.
Other than that, there were a few other things.
These rumors weren't considered secrets before the Great Calamity. They were considered as some of the more famous unsolved mysteries.
Everyone was curious about it, but no one knew the true answer.
Perhaps, some of the top-notch existences within the universe knew part of the truth.
Many mysteries were created by their own hands for various reasons.
Other things aside, there was one thing that caught Yan Zhaoge's attention. After all, it was related to the Great Calamity and the decline of orthodox Daoism.
Was the Supreme Elder Lord still in existence?
This question seemed very baffling at first.
Everyone knew that the Three Clear Lineages transcended as one.
With the Three Clear Grand Masters' transcendence, the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era ended, and the Universe era changed, entering the Middle Journey to the West era.
However, there was something that puzzled many people.
After the Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Prime Clear Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had transcended during the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era, they didn't appear in the world.
However, the Grand Clear Dao and Virtue Heavenly Lord, who was also the Supreme Elder Lord, had appeared in front of everyone during the Middle Journey to the West era!
