As for the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord, the experts from the orthodox Daoism, such as the Incongruence Divine Mother, were naturally very interested.
Previously, he had only helped Yan Zhaoge and the others to conceal the Immortal Trapping Sword so that they could search for it. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be real?
The Incongruence Divine Mother, Yan Zhaoge and the others were all curious about the whereabouts of the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord.
If this ancient Heavenly Venerable was still alive, it would definitely be good news for the orthodox Daoism.
Although the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord's whereabouts were uncertain and he kept a low profile, he was still one of the top almighty figures in the entire history of the Dao sects.
If this ancient Heavenly Lord had already perished, it would naturally be grievous news. Still, the earlier Yan Zhaoge and the others learned of it, the easier it would be for them to adapt to the situation.
"If the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court weren't also trying to deceive us, then the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord wouldn't be the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord." Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples as he muttered to himself.
Feng Yunsheng, Yan Di, and Gao Qingxuan all nodded slightly.
The fact that the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was able to use the Humanly Essence Stone to take that final step proved that he was a top-notch Grand Heavenly Immortal of the Dao Sect.
There was no doubt that the number of candidates was limited.
After the Three Pure Ones' Ancestral Masters transcended, the number one expert of the Daoism was naturally the Jade Emperor.
Other than Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor, the number two figure in the Heavenly Court was the head of the four royals, the Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity Polaris, also known as Great Emperor Purple Tenuity.
The Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord did not stay in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace all year round. His whereabouts were unpredictable. However, most of the cultivators in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, including the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, acknowledged that the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord's strength was not weaker than the Master of the Stars, Great Emperor Ziwei.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits was one of the few Great Sages of the Demon Race, but he was subdued by the Heavenly Lord of Taiyi and Nirvana.
However, the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord often ignored the affairs of the Heavenly Court and rarely took action. Therefore, he appeared mysterious.
Apart from the Three Clear lineage and the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, the other top figures of the Daoism were Zhen Yuanzi, who had lived with the world, and the Queen Mother of the West.
Needless to say, Zhenyuanzi was the ruler of the world and only respected the Great Dao.
As for the Western Queen Mother, she had always resided in the legendary West Kunlun, opposite to the East Kunlun where the Jade Clear lineage resided. She was also known as the Jade Lake's Golden Mother, and had the reputation of being the head of all female Immortals.
There were also people who called her the Queen Mother of the West. However, she and the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor were not husband and wife, nor were they members of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
In the distant Primordial Era, it was rumored that she often interacted with the Primordial Three Sovereigns.
After the Primordial Era, the Western Queen Mother was the same as Zhen Yuanzi. Most of the time, she was different from the Three Clear Lineage and the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
However, relatively speaking, she had a closer relationship with the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace and the other Daoist almighties than Zhenyuanzi.
As such, the Purple Tenuity Emperor, the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord, Zhenyuanzi, and the Western Queen Mother were generally considered to be beneath the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor. In terms of individual strength, apart from the Purple Tenuity Emperor, the rest of the bigwigs of Daoism were all born precelestially and were incomparably ancient existences.
If the Grand Heavenly Venerate experts were to be ranked, apart from the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor who could compete for the throne of the number one expert below the Dao Realm, the other four bigwigs of Daoism had hopes of making it into the top ten.
Even though the Three Clear Grand Masters had transcended, it was evident how powerful Daoism was in the past.
Other than that, Daoist Dipankara was the incarnation of an ancient Buddha, while Daoist Lu Ya was a Daoist, Buddhist, and Demon. As such, they were not viewed purely as bigwigs of Daoism.
As for the Lord of Plentiful Treasure who cultivated the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture during the Middle era, he rarely appeared in the world. Everyone was unable to grasp the changes in his strength, not to mention that he had already perished during the early years of the Middle era.
Other than the Lord of Plentiful Treasure, there were also the Grand Clear's head disciple Great Master Xuan Du and the most outstanding successor of the Jade Clear lineage – Yang Jian.
However, the former rarely made a move. Similarly, he was too mysterious and hard to predict.
The latter's combat achievements were glorious, and his strength was formidable. Just like the Purple Tenuity Emperor, his Postnatal Physique surpassed many Xiantian bigwigs. However, he had once appeared during the Great Calamity.
At that time, the Great Calamity had already begun, and most of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace had already been destroyed. Yang Jian had only joined the battle halfway. Although his whereabouts were unknown, his whereabouts were rather clear.
When Yan Zhaoge's main body successfully obtained the Immortal Trapping Sword and returned to the Awakened Sky Cosmos, his North Ocean Clone was currently in another universe's space.
"As expected, the situation is getting more intense. Only, other than the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, I wonder who else from the Western Pure Lands would go against the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits." The North Ocean Clone looked afar.
Over there, chaotic streams of lights could be seen intertwining. Space was being torn apart, and stars were being crushed. An intense battle was taking place.
The North Ocean Clone's current environment was a light green world, which was isolated from the boundless void outside.
However, it was hard for those outside to discover that there was another universe here.
Within the light green world, dense sword-qis filled the air. However, it was also filled with a myriad of phenomena.
The North Ocean Clone looked afar and observed for a while. Then, he asked softly, "Divine Mother, are you still unable to confirm whether the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord still exists in this world?"
The world formed by the sword-qis was the Incongruence Divine Mother's manifestation.
At this moment, a voice resounded by Yan Zhaoge's North Ocean Clone's ears. The syllables were strange and profound. However, Yan Zhaoge could understand the meaning within.
"Chaos erupted. At that time, a jade door appeared in the Heavenly Court, suppressing the heavens. We were affected as well. Just as we were about to retaliate, the suppressive force suddenly weakened."
"Without a doubt, the chaos in the past originated from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace. I didn't personally experience it. The situation within the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace was told to me by the South Pole and North Star Daoists."
The Incongruence Divine Mother said, "According to them, the jade door suddenly shook intensely. Silhouettes were faintly discernible within the door, and their identities couldn't be identified. Even the number of people inside couldn't be determined."
"Everything happened in an instant. After the jade door shook, the South Pole, North Star, and Earth Empress intended to enter the jade door to investigate. However, the Maitreya Buddha suddenly appeared and enveloped the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace with a palm."
Yan Zhaoge listened quietly. The peerlessly horrifying palm descending from the skies surfaced within his mind again.
As the Scripture Repository's spirit, he didn't have the existence of the jade door within his memories. It should be because he was suppressed, and his thoughts weren't as active.
As for the Pill Hall's hall spirit, he sensed the earliest signs of the incident before the jade door appeared because he was nearby.
After that, because he was closer to the jade door, the Pill Hall managed to survive the Future Buddha's attack.
As expected, the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace perished due to internal strife.
Thinking about how the jade door was blocked by the white lotus when he was wreaking havoc in the Immortal Court, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was born before the Great Calamity.
Perhaps, the Future Buddha attacked the Heavenly Court in order to prevent the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's birth.
Unfortunately, despite being continuously interfered with, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord still managed to descend into this world. After that, the battle against the Future Buddha caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter. The influence of the battle kept on expanding until it couldn't be suppressed anymore, and it engulfed the entire great thousand worlds.
More and more people were either actively or passively dragged into the flames of war, resulting in heavy casualties.
The final outcome was the Great Calamity, which almost changed the entire world.
