This mysterious Corpse Dissolving Immortal, codenad "Lotus," possessed a Supre Heart Intent Divine Power that had reached a nearly supernatural, incredible level.
With Yi Beidou’s current True Mind, he could only cover the area of a single villa, and its effectiveness would drop off sharply at greater distances.
But this person—whose location was unknown, perhaps a kiloter or even several kiloters away—was sohow able to use a Mind Divine Power to invade the Heart Intent of a Saint like him and manifest all sorts of visions. It was simply unimaginable.
As expected, these beings who were qualified to undergo Corpse Dissolution, successfully reincarnating ti and again and living for who knows how many hundreds or thousands of years, possessed extraordinary Divine Powers.
Even with his current Celestial Demon Sensing, Yi Beidou was completely unable to discern their location if they deliberately concealed themselves.
If not for the fact that such beings needed to practice "Avoiding Cause and Effect," they would surely throw the world into chaos. They had to avoid acting too conspicuously, lest they beco entangled in karma. Otherwise, during their next reincarnation, they could be hunted down by their countless enemies and utterly destroyed.
It was a simple thought: if this power wasn’t used on Yi Beidou, but on certain high-ranking individuals instead, no one could predict what might happen.
’Sooner or later, a day will co when you have nowhere left to hide.’
Yi Beidou slowly cald his roiling Qi and blood, muttering to himself.
’It seems I’m still too weak,’ he thought. From the Great Vow Master before to this Corpse Dissolving Immortal calling himself "Lotus," they had co to provoke him, yet he had been powerless to stop either of them.
"Sir, what happened?"
Just then, a voice ca from upstairs. The aura Yi Beidou had suddenly released had disturbed the villa’s magnetic field, startling ng Qianyuan and the others from their sleep. They all ca out to check on the situation.
"Soone just invaded my dream, attempting to corrupt my mind. I repelled him in the dream. This person calls himself ’Lotus.’ He made a move against , but I couldn’t sense his location. His Divine Powers are truly vast. But everything is fine now."
Yi Beidou said.
"What?!"
Hearing this, horrified expressions appeared on the faces of ng Qianyuan and the others.
They had all witnessed the sheer power of Yi Beidou’s Divine Power and Heart Intent. For soone to be able to remotely invade his dream, attack him, and leave him completely unable to sense their whereabouts was terrifying.
’Just who in the world was this person?!’
"I’ll contact the higher-ups at once. I’ll have them mobilize forces to conduct a sweep of the nearby area."
Zhou Baiwei said at once, dialing an ergency contact number.
Yi Beidou didn’t stop her, but he knew it would be fruitless. The person wouldn’t have made a move so recklessly if they weren’t completely confident.
For people like them, avoiding the sparse surveillance caras on the streets was child’s play. As for eyewitnesses, they were even less likely. With this person’s Divine Power, they could be standing right in front of an ordinary person, and that person might not even notice their presence.
「anwhile.」
In a dense, dark grove within a park, about a kiloter from the villa complex, a young man with ordinary looks and a dium build sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly shut.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. A profound, ancient look flashed within them, but it vanished in an instant.
’A Celestial Demon descended to the mortal world. This man is indeed extraordinary. No wonder that person taught him the Free Heart Technique.’
’I originally thought that person had uncovered so profound mystery and planted sothing within this young man’s mind. But from what I can see, there are no traces of that person on him. And he said that person never transmitted teachings to him in his dreams. That statent should be true.’
’How strange. Could they have truly grown weary of the mortal coil, given up their path, and passed on after leaving behind their legacy?’
’This doesn’t seem like you, Fu Yaozi.’
The man muttered to himself.
’Ti to go.’
Then the man slowly stood up.
CRACK! CRACK!
A series of cracking sounds ca from his skeleton as his fra grew about ten centiters taller. His physique changed slightly as well. He cupped his face with both hands, molding it for a mont. When he lowered them, even his facial features had been altered.
He was practically a different person.
Only after doing all this did he walk out of the grove, leaving the park without a backward glance.
That night, the Special Security Bureau organized a large team to sweep the area around the villa complex. They pulled all available surveillance footage, but still found nothing.
Yi Beidou was not surprised. How could it be so easy to find a trace of such a person?
Even the top-secret archives of the Special Security Bureau contained very few records on this individual, not enough to determine their true identity.
「anwhile.」
Wei Cheng also received the news sent back from Yunhai Province.
’Calls himself "Lotus," possesses the Divine Power of Dream Manifestation, and seems proficient in Esoteric Dharma Gates? More and more reclusive masters from the Hidden World are starting to stir.’
Wei Cheng muttered to himself, a sharp glint in his eyes.
Beings who should have been buried in the annals of history were re-erging, all vying for the peak of existence. This would inevitably lead to chaos throughout the world.
He understood perfectly how terrifying the abilities of such people were.
’The Martial Hero Conference must be expedited. We can use it as an opportunity to push for reforms in the Donghua Martial Arts Realm and systematically cultivate more experts. Certain secrets, currently unknown to the public, must also be gradually introduced and normalized. Only then can we weather the coming tide of this new era...’
’So chaos is inevitable, but if we shy away from reform out of fear, we will ultimately be left behind by the tis.’
’However, a matter of this magnitude requires everyone’s support. The first step is to convene a High-level Conference to get all the Saint Experts on the sa page. Co to think of it, it’s been a full ten years since the last one was held.’
Wei Cheng’s gaze was resolute. For years, they had been gradually laying the groundwork, all in preparation for this day.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. The caller ID displayed the na "Zhang Daoming."
"Hello, Elder Celestial Master! I hope you’ve been well. What a surprise to hear from you. I was actually just about to contact you regarding the Martial Hero Conference and the High-level Conference..."
Wei Cheng was a man of advanced age and high standing, yet he spoke to the person on the other end of the line with the utmost respect.
Among the Saints who had achieved Body Ascension in the country today, Celestial Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain might not claim the highest level of Cultivation. However, when it ca to his sheer age and prestige, likely no one could compare.
This Celestial Master, Zhang Daoming, was one hundred and thirty-eight years old. His life had spanned three centuries, making him a living fossil who had witnessed the world’s transformations. He was also one of the founding fathers of Donghua, having worked tirelessly for the nation in his youth.
Even Wei Cheng, in front of this person, was but a junior.
"Hahaha, Wei the Kid, still so impatient. But this ti, I’m afraid this old Daoist won’t be able to attend, no matter how important the event."
"Yesterday, this old Daoist had a sudden premonition and learned that I have only nine and a half days of life left. Before I pass on, I wish to hold a ’Transformation Dao Conference.’ I will recount the story of my life, explore the very edge of existence, and I would like to invite the Saint Experts of Donghua to co and bear witness."
The voice on the other end of the phone was hale and strong, but its words left Wei Cheng stunned.
