A tall male cultivator, who had a somewhat dull skin and extreme vicissitudes revealed all over him, stood across Ling Xiaoshuang. His hair also looked a little messy and he was seemingly only at the early-stage Dao Integration Realm on the surface.
Upon hearing Ling Xiaoshuang’s words, this tall man frowned, seemingly thinking about something. After some time, he suddenly thought of something. Hed took out a jade slip and engraved something before throwing it to Ling Xiaoshuang.
Ling Xiaoshuang took it and scanned with her Spiritual Force. Then, she looked at this tall male cultivator in amazement.
This was actually a language jade slip. In fact, the languages of the Cultivation World had long become a common language. Even cultivators who were new to the Cultivation World could learn all language expressions instantly through the jade slip.
After reaching the Immortal World, the cultivation language would become a kind of basic Heaven Earth Law. As long as their cultivation level reached a certain degree, they would naturally comprehend the cultivation language expression.
This person was an early-stage Dao Integration expert who couldn’t understand what she was saying. Instead, she engraved a seemingly more ancient cultivation language.
Ling Xiaoshuang had already learned this language in an instant. Putting away the jade slip, she greeted this male cultivator and said, “My name is Ling Xiaoshuang. I just arrived here. Could you tell me where this place is?”
“You don’t know where this place is?” The tall man repeated Ling Xiaoshuang’s words in shock and then got excited. “You said you just came to this place?”
Ling Xiaoshuang nodded her head. “Yes.”
“Where did you come from? Can you still leave from that place?” This male cultivator did not answer Ling Xiaoshuang, but asked her a few questions continuously.
Ling Xiaoshuang shook her head. “I was brought here by a void rift, which had disappeared after I came back to my senses.”
Upon hearing that, the male cultivator frowned. He mumbled, “This is unlikely.”
After a while, this male cultivator continued, “I’m Mu Lianqi and this is the Lost Dao World.”
“The Lost Dao World?” Ling Xiaoshuang repeated in confusion. What did that mean? There were Dao cultivators everywhere here and yet, this place had such a name.
Mu Lianqi was not surprised that Ling Xiaoshuang did not know the Lost Dao World. Instead, he explained patiently, ” After the universe first separated back then, a group of peak experts appeared. Since this group of people had the best Connate qualifications, each of them had the best Connate aptitude. They could even casually grab the most top-notch aptitude treasures with their eyes closed and their cultivation followed naturally. The most outstanding one was called Du Bu.”
Ling Xiaoshuang didn’t interrupt as this was her first time hearing about the first separation of the universe. Even though she had seen some cultivation ancient slips, what Mu Lianqi was saying was evidently more real, seemingly just before her eyes.
“When other people were fighting over all sorts of treasures, Du Bu unexpectedly snatched away nine primordial auras…”
Surprised, Ling Xiaoshuang interrupted Mu Lianqi, “Daoist Mu, Du Bu snatched away nine primordial auras alone?”
She knew about the primordial aura. When the Chaos Realm had opened back then, eight primordial auras had been snatched away by eight top-notch experts, who were also the main forces in opening the Creation Door.
Today, she then knew that there were nine primordial auras, not eight. These nine primordial auras were also left behind by Du Bu.
Mu Lianqi nodded his head. “That’s right. The nine primordial auras. After Du Bu snatched these nine primordial auras, his strength soared and became the top person in a newly-opened universe. He also called himself the Dao Master of the Universe. Anyone who disobeyed him was killed.
When the universe first separated at that time, many experts were in the same era as Du Bu. Which one of them was not arrogant? Naturally, they could not tolerate Du Bu’s tyranny.”
“Senior, you’re also a person of that era.” Ling Xiaoshuang had sensed that Mu Lianqi was absolutely not simple as he had a hint of respectfulness in his tone. If Mu Lianqi was also a person from the universe that had first separated, she should be calling him as a senior.
Mu Lianqi laughed self-derisively. “I’ll tell you that afterward.”
Perhaps since he had not talked to someone in a very long time, after Mu Lianqi confirmed that Ling Xiaoshuang was not a dangerous person, he became very talkative.
“At that moment, Du Bu became even more powerful. He chose eight disciples, who had to accept his conditions and control the eight primordial auras…”
“Senior, didn’t you say there were nine primordial auras?” Ling Xiaoshuang couldn’t help interrupting.
Mu Lianqi shook his head. “I don’t know either. Rumor has it that he only found eight disciples. Maybe he also controlled one primordial aura.”
“I’m sorry. Senior, please carry on.” Ling Xiaoshuang also felt somewhat embarrassed.
Mu Lianqi didn’t mind and was not impatient at all. He said patiently, “These few disciples listened to him very well. At the same time, the traitors in the entire universe that had first separated were massacred. He had a disciple called Du Mo who was very scheming and even secretly the Five-Element Divine Quintessence and Creation Wood.”
“The Creation Wood?” Ling Xiaoshuang naturally knew about that. It was the top tree in the universe and was also something that lived and grew with the universe. Rumor had it that Ye Mo used the Chaotic Tree to restore the Sacred Dao World back then, which was also a subdivision of the Creation Wood.
“Yes, the Creation Wood.” Mu Lianqi continued, “Because Du Mo had the Five-Element Divine Quintessence and the Creation Wood, he made use of these two kinds of treasures to undo the restriction Du Bu had on him. He also worked together with many heaven-opening experts. By plotting against the Dao Master of the Universe Du Bu, he worked together with other people to attack him. In the end, Du Mo had unexpectedly succeeded. After he plotted against Du Bu and worked together with other experts to kill the Dao Master of the Universe, he also killed a few other disciples of Du Bu and took away the eight primordial Dao runes.”
“Didn’t he become the second Du Bu?” Ling Xiaoshuang said. Du Mo had plotted against Du Bu and used all kinds of methods to take away the eight primordial Dao runes. She reckoned that he was not someone who was wholehearted to the universe. Furthermore, she always felt that the Dao Master of the Universe Du Bu would not be killed that easily.
Ling Xiaoshuang was just a mere Dao Integration cultivator and had escaped death several times. Wasn’t Du Bu’s technique much better than hers? How could he have been killed that easily?
Mu Lianqi nodded his head. “Everyone knew that they could not let Du Mo become the second Du Bu, so they requested Du Mo to take out the Cosmic Divine Quintessence and Creation Wood to share.”
“Then didn’t he still have eight primordial Dao runes?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked in confusion.
The primordial Dao runes were the key to strength. Sharing Du Mo’s Cosmic Divine Quintessence and primordial Dao runes was just weakening his strength.
Mu Lianqi chuckled. “Daoist Ling. From what you said, I know that you’re very naive just like me at that time. Ha ha… Those people had known that Du Mo definitely would not take out the eight primordial Dao runes, so they had to remove his Creation Wood and Five-Element Divine Quintessence first.”
“Then wouldn’t Du Mo disagree for sure?” Ling Xiaoshuang said.
Mu Lianqi nodded his head. “Yes, Du Mo really didn’t agree. However, he didn’t have the power to integrate the eight primordial Dao runes. Even though he was very strong, he could not withstand so many heaven-opening experts besieging him. Eventually, the Creation Wood was blasted into pieces. I heard that even the world he used to contain the Five-Element Divine Quintessence had also been destroyed. The Five-Element Divine Quintessence completely integrated with the universe that had first separated, turning into the Five-Element Universe.”
“What about Du Mo?” Ling Xiaoshuang still felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
Mu Lianqi answered with a sigh, “He ran away with the eight primordial Dao runes. When the universe first separated back then, it had only opened a corner. Du Mo must have brought the eight primordial Dao runes and sealed himself in a Chaos World that had yet to be completely opened.”
“In other words, Du Mo is still alive?” Ling Xiaoshuang was suddenly worried about Di Jiu who definitely had top-notch secrets. If such a person like Du Mo knew about Di Jiu, could Di Jiu still have a way to live?
Mu Lianqi sighed again. “How could this kind of person perish like that? Even Du Bu, who had been plotted against by Du Mo and many heaven-opening experts, is definitely still alive, let alone Du Mo. It is just that nobody knows where they are. They will come out one day in the future.”
“Senior Mu, are the Dao Master of the Universe, Du Mo, and the Lost Dao World related to each other?” Ling Xiaoshuang had reacted. Mu Lianqi had yet to talk about how they were related to the Lost Dao World.
