The mountain road was rugged.
The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the stronger the overbearing pressure was.
After walking for half a day, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
There were no palaces or pavilions on the top of the mountain.
Under a huge parasol tree, a figure sat quietly.
He was wearing a Taoist robe.
He was sitting cross-legged.
The ends of his black hair were dancing in the wind.
He sat quietly under the parasol tree, motionless, with his back to Li Mu and Hua Xianghuang.
His back was straight and tall.
With his back to Li Mu and Hua Xianghuang, he seemed to be looking at the vast sea of clouds around the mountain.
"Is this Taishi Tao Master?"
That incomparably domineering pressure came from this person's body.
He sat quietly on the top of the Tao Master Mountain, as if the weight of the stars in the sky was pressing on the mountain.
"Here we are."
Hua Xiangrong said.
Li Mu calmed down and raised his physical cultivation to the peak. The profound meaning of the law of time was also condensed into a thought, which could be activated in an instant.
At the same time, he held the Realm-breaking Talisman in his palm.
In the face of such a top giant in the immortal world, even if Li Mu had defeated the virtual image of Taishi Tao Master in the trial space of the Warlord Temple in the Blessed Land of Immortals, he did not dare to be careless at this time.
After a moment of silence.
Taishi Tao Master seemed to have no sign of turning around.
He didn't mean to speak at all.
Hua Xiangrong walked to Taishi Tao Master and motioned Li Mu to follow.
The two came to the front of Taishi Tao Master.
At this time, Li Mu finally noticed that something was wrong.
When he stood in front of the Lord of Taishi and looked carefully, he was suddenly stunned. In his mind, he could no longer suppress the raging storm and raging waves.
Because Taishi Tao Master was dead.
Yes.
The figure in front of him, the figure sitting quietly under the parasol tree, although his body exuded an endless and domineering pressure, and the entire Dao Noble Mountain trembled under his pressure … But he was already dead.
There was no breath of life in his body.
His heart had stopped beating.
There was no vitality at all.
The mountain wind blew his hair, and his long black hair was shining with divine brilliance.
"What … what's going on?"
Li Mu was shocked and looked at Hua Xiangrong in disbelief.
Hua Xiangrong opened her mouth to answer.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
"Subordinate Zhan Wumie requests to meet Lord Dao Lord."
This voice was stirring and melodious, coming from the bottom of Dao Sovereign Mountain, carrying respect and sincerity, all the way to the mountain peak.
Li Mu was shocked.
The person who spoke was extremely powerful.
He was not inferior to the Suppressing Ancestor.
Just as he was guessing the identity of this person, he heard Taishi Dao Master suddenly say, "What's the matter?"
Li Mu was startled.
He even instinctively wanted to crush the Realm-breaking Talisman and escape directly.
Did Taishi Dao Lord come back to life?
Then why was there no sign of life in his body?
Could it be some kind of special cultivation technique?
Li Mu was shocked to the extreme.
"The Underworld Ancestor encountered Imperial God Emperor Ye Qingyu, one of the Three Ultimate Ascendants, in the Land of Flowing Fire. His physical body was destroyed, but his Yuan Spirit managed to escape. He has already returned to the Underworld Mountains. Please bestow him with divine medicine to help him recover."
The voice came again.
"Alright."
Taishi Dao Lord said.
His voice fell.
A wutong flower slowly floated down from the wutong tree overhead.
The yellow petals and the stamens were a little red.
He landed ten meters away from his subordinate, and with a slight tremble, he tore through space and vanished like a fish diving into the depths of a lake.
"Thank you, Tao Master."
Zhan Wumie's voice came from above, "I'll take my leave."
Everything fell silent again.
At this time, Li Mu noticed that Hua Xiangrong was already standing beside Taishi Dao Master.
One of her palms was tightly pressed on the back of Taishi Dao Master's neck.
"Well, the Zhan Ancestor has left."
Hua Xiangrong let out a long sigh and slowly withdrew her palm.
But Taishi Dao Master still maintained the posture of sitting quietly, and his aura did not change at all. Obviously, he was still a dead man.
Li Mu was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that even when the Taishi Dao Master spoke, there was still no sign of life coming from his body.
He suddenly realized something.
Hua Xiangrong met Li Mu's questioning eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "You are right, and you are right … Taishi Dao Master is indeed dead."
Although Li Mu had some psychological preparation, he was still shocked by her words.
When he was in the Blessed Land of Immortals, when he came to the Middle Three Heavens, when he was on the Tiandao Mountain, even when he came to the Tao Master's Mountain, he never thought about this possibility.
He had shocked the Immortal World and the Middle Three Heavens for countless years, and made countless immortal experts submit to him. Even his enemies respected and feared him. Taishi Dao Master, the peak immortal who had fought with Immortal Master Muyun for countless years, was dead?
Was he really dead?
Li Mu couldn't believe it.
Only then did he realize that the so-called "Taishi Dao Master" just spoke was just Hua Xiangrong pressing the back of his neck and using the vibration to simulate the voice in his throat to transmit the voice to the outside world.
Taishi Dao Master's body was well preserved.
It could even be said to be very healthy.
Even many living immortals couldn't compare with it.
That was why Hua Xiangrong could use this method to represent Taishi Dao Master and speak to the entire Tao Master Alliance.
It was also because the oppressive aura of the Taishi Dao Lord did not dissipate, suppressing the entire Dao Sovereign Alliance. Even existences like the Four Ancestors and the Ten Kings could not ascend the mountain to meet him. As such, no one knew that the Taishi Dao Lord had died for a very long time.
With this method, Hua Xiangrong could control the entire Tao Master Alliance.
No wonder the entire Dao Sovereign Mountain was enveloped in the tyrannical pressure of the Taishi Dao Sovereign. This kind of pressure existed at all times. It turned out that the Taishi Dao Sovereign was already dead, so he could not restrain his pressure. He did not intentionally use such a tyrannical method to show off his existence.
All of a sudden, Li Mu figured out too many things in his mind.
And at this time, he remembered what Zhan Wumie had said before.
"Imperial God Ye Qingyu crippled Nether Ancestor?"
"Ye Qingyu finally showed up?"
Li Mu was excited.
Since the old faker mentioned the Four Symbols, he had paid special attention to Ye Qingyu, Sun Fei, and Ding Hao.
Li Mu had seen Sun Fei and Ding Hao's means.
But Li Mu had only heard about the Imperial God Emperor from the old faker, and he had never heard about his achievements and deeds from others.
Unexpectedly, today, he finally got the news.
One of the three supreme experts on par with Sun Fei, he crippled Nether Ancestor, one of the Four Ancestors of the Tao Master Alliance.
Nether Ancestor should be from the Nether World.
He claimed to control the Nether World, but he lost his physical body and became a Primordial Spirit.
From this, it could be inferred that the strength of the three supreme experts was far beyond the level of the Four Ancestors.
Outside, the battle between the three factions had clearly entered an extremely tragic stage.
Another ancestor-level expert of the Tao Master Alliance had died. The battle was so fierce that it had not been seen in thousands of years.
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Li Mu slowly asked, "What the hell is going on? Why did Taishi Dao Master die? "
"What was the cause of his death?"
Hua Xiangrong said, "500 years ago, the Middle Three Heavens were in conflict with each other. The gate of the Upper Three Heavens was not opened, and the destined battle with Immortal Master Mu Yun could not be ended. Tao Master decided to cut off the karma of this life, so he made a very risky decision …"
Speaking of that, Hua Xiangrong took a deep look at Li Mu and said, "He cut off the past, the present, and the future … He directly peeled off his body and mind. Like a dragon or snake shedding its skin, he shed his shell and left the body in front of us."
Shedding his skin?
Li Mu was stunned, and then he suddenly understood what Hua Xiangrong meant.
In other words, the body of Taishi Dao Master in front of him was just a shell?
Didn't it mean that Taishi Dao Master was really dead?
"Then … where did he go?"
Li Mu asked.
Hua Xiangrong said, "Of course he died."
"Huh?"
Li Mu was a little confused.
Hua Xiangrong said, "If a person loses his body, mind, and consciousness, and also loses all the karma connection with all the people and things in this world, is he dead?"
Li Mu thought about it and found it was true.
In the secular sense, the definition of a person's death was that his body died, and his consciousness no longer existed.
This was the so-called destruction of body and soul.
For an immortal like Taishi Dao Master, if his spirit, body, and all the karma were stripped away, this person was also dead.
"So, Taishi Dao Master killed himself?"
"He thought that once he died, all the disputes would disappear?"
"The turmoil in the Immortal World would end?"
"Has the ideological realm of this giant in the Immortal World reached such a high level?"
Li Mu was a little dumbfounded.
"A former Taishi Dao Master died, and a new overlord of the Immortal World was born. Between heaven and earth, there is a kind of universe will, which affects the general trend and pattern. For example, Immortal Master Muyun, Taishi Dao Master, and other giants of the Immortal World were born with the will of heaven and earth. They are like the spokespersons of different forces and rules between heaven and earth. When the spokespersons die, heaven and earth will evolve and give birth to new spokespersons …"
Hua Xiangrong said, "Do you understand what I said?"
Li Mu nodded.
He didn't quite understand.
But he understood what Hua Xiangrong wanted to express.
"The Primordial Dao Sovereign comprehended this supreme truth, so he severed himself from the past. He wanted to become the main character of the new era. Only the destiny of the main character of the new era could break through and become the overlord. That was the method he came up with to end the Immortal Chaos Era."
Hua Xiangrong continued.
Talented people appeared in every generation, and each of them dominated for hundreds of years.
This sentence was applied to the secular world.
But the truth represented by this sentence was applicable to the whole world.
In the Immortal World, every era also had the protagonist of each era.
If the protagonists of the old era couldn't defeat each other, then let the protagonists of the new era do it.
"Taishi Dao Master actually wants to cut off everything from the past and become the protagonist of the new era?"
