Chapter 648: Chapter 648

The Heavenly Dao’s descent was inevitable, an irreversible tide.

Tang Sufei had heard this from the Grand Elder of the World Sea more than once.

If not for this, she wouldn’t have been so troubled recently.

She had thought Mu Zhian had some way to stop the Heavenly Dao’s descent, but she didn’t expect him to be persuading them to let it happen.

Mu Zhian continued, “I know what you’re thinking, but it’s better to guide the flow than to block it. Miss Sufei, you should reconsider.”

A hint of doubt flashed through Tang Sufei’s eyes as she looked at Mu Zhian, “I know Young Master Mu is not someone who gives up easily… Do you have some kind of plan?”

“…For example, a plan to deal with the Heavenly Dao?”

Do you think I’m some kind of omnipotent immortal? The problem is, even an immortal can’t completely solve the Heavenly Dao… Mu Zhian nodded slightly, “I do have some plans, but I’m not sure if they’ll succeed.”

Tang Sufei’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, “You mean we have to gamble?”

“It’s not that you have to gamble, but that you can only gamble,” Mu Zhian corrected.

“The Heavenly Dao’s descent is like an arrow of fate, no one can reverse it. So all we can do is make preparations before it arrives.”

Mu Zhian continued, “The rest depends on luck.”

Or, in a desperate situation, I could sacrifice myself, and the Nine Provinces might regain peace…

Although Mu Zhian didn’t think that the Heavenly Dao, which now possessed desires, would be content with just maintaining the rules of heaven and earth outside the Nine Provinces.

The Heavenly Dao had created the Nine Forbidden Lands in the past, attempting to cover the rules of heaven and earth with forbidden rules, which already showed that the Heavenly Dao had some kind of ambition.

Perhaps she wanted to truly control the Nine Provinces.

Tang Sufei fell into a brief silence.

She recalled the time in the Two Polarities Sect, when Mu Zhian opened that black box in front of her and the Holy Son.

From then on, she had a vague guess that Mu Zhian was the person the Primordial Witch was waiting for.

And now he had personally come to the World Sea and made this request…

Logically, there seemed to be no reason to refuse.

Ultimately, all they could do was to keep an eye on the Forbidden Lands during this time, stop the Forbidden Zone Lords’ summoning ritual, and delay the Heavenly Dao’s descent.

But this was actually a futile effort.

Even without the Forbidden Zone Lords, the Heavenly Dao would still descend during this period, because its descent was in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth.

“What does Young Master Mu plan to do when the Heavenly Dao descends?” Tang Sufei asked in a low voice.

Mu Zhian revealed a bright, sunny smile and said gently, “The first thing the Heavenly Dao will do after descending is probably to purge those who have violated the rules of heaven and earth.”

“Besides that, those related to the Primordial Witch will probably also be purged.”

“Miss Sufei was worried about this, which was why you were hesitant just now, right?”

Tang Sufei was silent.

Just then, she heard Mu Zhian quietly looking at her and continuing, “What if I told you I have a way to protect the World Sea when the Heavenly Dao descends?”

Tang Sufei’s heart raced, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She subconsciously looked up at him, “What is Young Master Mu’s method?”

“If you can really protect the World Sea, I’ll do anything, I…”

Mu Zhian quickly interrupted, “Miss Sufei, calm down. Actually, as long as you do as I said just now, and do nothing, it will be fine.”

“I’ll handle the rest.”

Actually, let alone a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, even if a Dao Integration Realm expert said this, it would be hard to believe.

But for some reason, when Mu Zhian said this, Tang Sufei couldn’t help but believe him.

Perhaps because he had opened the black box left by the Primordial Witch before, or because his Innate Celestial Furnace had created many ‘impossibilities’ before.

She smiled brightly, her eyes rippling.

“I believe you, Young Master Mu.”

Tang Sufei stood up and walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and said with a smile, “I will discuss this with the elders of the World Sea and then undo some of the formations in the World Sea.”

If they completely opened the formations, the Forbidden Zone Lords would probably think it was a trap and might not dare to make a move for a while.

Mu Zhian looked at the door and nodded with a smile, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

The center of the World Sea.

The golden red morning sun shone on the sea, creating layers of ripples, the golden light sparkling dazzlingly.

But what was even more dazzling was the heavenly ladder that descended from the sky at this moment.

The Path to Immortality.

Throughout history, countless great powers had fought to ascend to the Heavenly Court. Countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces had heard rumors that the Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly Court was incredibly dense, and that one could achieve longevity by ascending.

However, in the end, very few people could ascend to the Heavenly Court.

Even so, the appearance of the Path to Immortality still drove countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces into a frenzy. Many cultivators were already stepping onto the heavenly ladder, hoping to ascend with its help.

However, they didn’t notice that in the void, several pairs of cold eyes were watching everything.

Their pupils were indifferent. A closer look would reveal that each of them exuded an extremely terrifying and dangerous aura.

The Forbidden Zone Lords.

On the day the Path to Immortality appeared, more than half of the Nine Forbidden Lands had appeared in the World Sea.

Not to ascend to the Heavenly Court, but to summon their ‘mother’.

The aggregate of all living beings, the Heavenly Dao.

However, there were formations left by the Primordial Witch in the past on the World Sea, and even the Forbidden Zone Lords were unwilling to take risks.

But fortunately, activating the formations required a huge amount of Spiritual Energy, and a continuous infusion of it.

And today, the power of these formations was already incredibly weak.

As long as the Heavenly Dao descended, the situation in the Nine Provinces would be completely rewritten… By then, the Forbidden Lands would regain control of the Nine Provinces.

“Isis, it’s about time.”

The Eternal Lord looked at the cultivators on the World Sea, who were desperately trying to ascend the Path to Immortality, his voice incredibly cold.

“If any great power intercepts, just use the forbidden object this time… You should all know that the only possibility to turn the tables is Mother. If you all still hold back, there will be no place for us in the future of the Nine Provinces.”

Hearing the Eternal Lord’s words, a lazy reply came from the void, “Stop with the nonsense, let’s get started.”

After Isis’s voice fell, a formation emitting a holy light silently opened on the World Sea.

The Heavenly Dao’s summoning ritual had begun!

At this moment, Mu Zhian was still sitting in Tang Sufei’s room. He stood by the window, admiring the sea view.

Not far behind him was Tang Sufei, who had just returned to the room.

Her feelings were incredibly complex, unsure if she had made the right decision.

But the elders had all accepted her proposal.

Because they also knew that they couldn’t rely on the formations left by the Primordial Witch for too long.

“As per Young Master Mu’s instructions, most of the formations in the World Sea have been removed. The Forbidden Zone Lords are probably preparing for the descent ritual now,” Tang Sufei said softly.

Although she said she believed Mu Zhian… at this moment, feeling the terrifying aura that seemed to shake heaven and earth, Tang Sufei still felt a bit uneasy.

For Tang Sufei, this was an unprecedented event.

But this time, they were facing the Heavenly Dao… Even with the most resilient Dao Heart, it was inevitable to feel some unease.

Mu Zhian nodded gently, looking up at the center of the sea, “It has appeared.”

Tang Sufei was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the boundless sea.

On the sea, the Path to Immortality descended from the sky, its rule power disrupting the rules of heaven and earth in the Nine Provinces.

And in the very center of the sea, a complex formation composed of countless runes appeared.

A brilliant golden light emanated from the formation, as dazzling and holy as the sun.

Within the golden light, the figure of a woman could be vaguely seen. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net

She looked so holy, but soon, nearly half of the golden light was dyed a deep black.

The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao was already on the verge of descending, and this summoning ritual was accelerating its arrival!

Tang Sufei gazed at the incredibly holy and demonic figure, momentarily lost in thought.

This was the first time she had seen the Heavenly Dao in human form.

“I didn’t expect the Heavenly Dao’s human form to be …”

Tang Sufei murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the seemingly ‘slumbering’ Heavenly Dao in the center of the sea.

However, just then, the Heavenly Dao, which had had its eyes closed, as if sensing something, suddenly slowly opened its eyes and glanced in their direction.

Almost at that instant, Tang Sufei’s breath hitched, and she seemed to forget to breathe.

After a long while, her body trembled slightly, a look of shock on her face as she stared intently at the Heavenly Dao on the sea.

Did I see that correctly just now…?

The Heavenly Dao was looking in their direction?
