641 Dao Region, Dao Sect!

The Eastern Xuan Region, a continent that contained an endless number oflegends. Since ancient times, numerous great world-shaking experts were born inthese lands. The strength they possessed shook their predecessors andilluminated the way for new generations of practitioners. Their great might anddignity still shocked and awed people all over the world even after hundreds orthousands of years. At the same time, it also caused countless people to feel adegree of respect towards this place.

The empires within the Eastern Xuan Region were as numerous as the stars inthe sky. Empires rose and fell everyday, and an endless competition shroudedthe entire continent.

The true rulers of this land that towered over those uncountable empires werethe titanic beings known as the super sects.

They sat above all empires and possessed inheritances from the ancient times.

Amongst these super sects, there were eight great super sects stood at thepinnacle.

The Yuan Gate, Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, Dao Sect, Thousand PuppetSect, Symbol Valley, Sword Sect, Great Desolate Palace and Divine Sect.

These eight great super sects were the true overlords of this land. Thestrength that each of them possessed could instantly destroy any empire.

Of course, in this continent that riddled with scuffles, even the super sectswere unable to completely detach themselves. Not only did the eight great supersects have numerous conflicts between themselves, there were also quite anumber of other super sects eyeing their positions.

After all, though the eight great super sects might be the strongest withinthe Eastern Xuan Region, there were more than eight super sects. The strengthof some of these remaining super sects might be lacking in comparison, but theywere no pushovers either. After all, everyone wished to climb upwards in thisworld.

On the whole however, the structure of the current Eastern Xuan Region wasstill being controlled by the eight great super sects. However, there was stillan endless amount of undercurrents present under this seemingly calm surface.

The eight great super sects stood in eight different directions of the EasternXuan Region like great divine beings. They were just like the guardians of theland.

There was a vast mountain range tens of thousands of kilometres wide in thesouth-western area of the Eastern Xuan Region. This mountain range was coveredby clouds and mist all year round, an incomparably mysterious sight.

This extremely large mountain range was called the Dao Region. Located in theDao Region was one of the Eastern Xuan Region’s eight great super sects, theDao Sect.

Hundreds and thousands of empires dotted the area around this Dao Region.These empires viewed the Dao Sect as their leader and treated the Dao Sect as aholy land. They also relied on the Dao Sect to survive.

Deep within this endlessly vast Dao Region mountain range, there was an areacovered in mist that was clearly split off from everywhere else. Countlessextremely tall and large mountains clustered together here. One could vaguelysee an endless number of grand buildings on the top of these enormous mountains.

Numerous cities appeared under this fog under the cluster of giant mountains.It was extremely lively there. From a great distance away, it appeared justlike a country.

In the deepest part of the mountain range, an enormous curtain of lightspanning several tens of thousands of feet flowed down from the sky like adome. It’s size was so overwhelming that it appeared as though even day andnight were under it.

One could see numerous large halls within the light curtain that gave off anancient and vicissitude aura. Wind sounds echoed endlessly in the skies withinthis dome, and if one looked down from above, it was possible to see many antlike figures charging through the clouds with an indescribable ancient majesticfeeling.

Buzz!

At this moment, the light curtain in the distant sky suddenly distorted. Afterwhich, a large amount of light gathered, before finally transforming into anenormous formation. Hundreds of figures appeared within the formation in aflash of light, and were instantly dumbstruck when their eyes were shifteddownwards.

“Hiss…”

At the front of the crowd, Lin Dong’s face was filled with shock due to thescene below. Soon after, he inhaled a deep breath of cool air, before onceagain gazing at the light curtain before him that seemingly covered the sky.After which, he turned towards the enormous mountain and the ancient aura thatit contained. It felt as if he had time-travelled back to the ancient times.

Although the Ancient Treasure Trove was quite large, it was after all onlysome ruins, while the place that currently appeared in front of Lin Dong’seyes, was a genuine super sect!

A great being of this world!

“Welcome to the Dao Sect.” Wu Dao smilingly watched the group of people whowere seemingly shocked to the limit. There was some pride on his face as helaughed.

“This is the Dao Sect huh…”

Lin Dong involuntarily licked his lips. He had once envied the disciples ofthe ancient sects when the ancient sect remains. Never did he imagine thatwould now be able to enjoy the same privileges.

“Let’s go, follow me into Dao Sect. All of you are still not considered astrue Dao Sect disciples. Do not randomly roam around.” Wu Dao waved his sleevesas a golden light rushed out, before entering the light curtain.

Buzz buzz!

The light barrier rippled a little, and the faint undulations that resultedcaused Lin Dong’s scalp to feel numb. He was truly unable to imagine just whohad constructed such a frightening defence.

“There is a formation hidden within the light curtain, and is likely a greatancient sect formation of the Dao Sect. If it is activated, even an expert atthe Mysterious Life Stage will be destroyed immediately until nothing remains.Even the strongest of Life Qi would be unable to save him.” Little Marten’sexpression was also somewhat grave, as he observed the light curtain in frontof him. Even he felt an extreme amount of danger from this light curtain.

Lin Dong nodded, not feeling surprised at all. It would be strange ifsomething that was used by the Dao Sect as their great sect protectingformation did not possess such power.

The light barrier rippled as a pathway was slowly being torn open. Wu Daowaved his hand and the light array that had followed Lin Dong’s group enteredthe interior of the Dao Sect with him as he rushed through the light door.

Bang!

The moment they entered the light door, Lin Dong’s group sensed a rich andalmost viscous natural Yuan Power pounce at them. Their bodies were immediatelyshaken by the sudden change, and some of them were flipped by this Yuan Powerhurricane.

“Such rich natural Yuan Power!”

As Lin Dong felt the Yuan Power that permeated this land, his facialexpression immediately changed a little. The natural Yuan Power of the worldwithin this light curtain was likely over a dozen times richer than that of theoutside world. Clearly, this was a powerful tactic that the Dao Sect hademployed. It forcefully and continuously absorbed the natural Yuan Power fromhundreds of thousands of kilometres around into the Dao Sect for its disciplesto use.

This move was truly a little terrifying.

Swoosh swoosh!

While Lin Dong’s group was in shock due to the terrifying Yuan Power, a dozenrainbows rushed across the sky. Finally, they transformed into a dozen humanfigures wearing dark red robes.

These people had hurried over to take a look because of the arrival of LinDong’s group. Their faces only relaxed when they saw Wu Dao.

“Greetings deputy hall chief Wu Dao.” The dozen figures respectfully cuppedtheir hands together and bowed.

“These are the disciples selected from the Hundred Empire War.” Wu Dao softlychuckled as he casually explained.

The dozen figures only came to a sudden comprehension at this moment. Theireyes immediately swept over Lin Dong’s large group. There was some sternnesswithin their eyes and quite a number of people avoided their gaze. Evidentlypressured by the aura from their bodies.

“As expected of the Dao Sect. Just patrolling disciples alone are already sopowerful…” Lin Dong’s heart was slightly shaken because of their powerfulauras. From what he could tell, the strength of this group were all at or abovethe five Yuan Nirvana stage. Moreover, their fighting strength was clearly muchgreater than an ordinary five Yuan Nirvana stage expert. Otherwise, they wouldnot possess such a demeanor.

Although their auras were strong, they did not cause Lin Dong any pressure.With his current strength, he could contend against a six Yuan Nirvana stageexpert. Moreover, in terms of tactics, he did not really fear these disciples.

After the patrolling disciples’ eyes swept around, they paused a little longeron Lin Dong’s group. Clearly, these people had also sensed they were somewhatextraordinary. They immediately nodded quietly. It seemed like the HundredEmpire War had produced quite a number of decent disciples…

“Deputy hall chief Wu Dao, please lead these disciples and head to the HallSelection Stage. The other three great hall deputy chiefs are already waiting.”A patrolling disciple spoke respectfully to Wu Dao.

Wu Dao frowned a little upon hearing these words. He snorted, “These fellowsare already unable to wait any longer and anxiously want to recruit some newmembers huh?”

The patrolling disciples were a little embarrassed when they heard this, butthey did not dare to say anything in response.

“Go, go, I know what to do.”

Wu Dao waved his hand in an irritable manner and chased the patrollingdisciples away. After which, he waved his hand with a somewhat gloomy face andled everyone towards a large mountain in the distance, which was covered byclouds.

Lin Dong looked at Wu Dao, who had a somewhat ugly expression. He did notunderstand why the latter would suddenly become displeased.

“There are four great halls where the Dao Sects grooms its disciples. They arenamed Sky, Earth, Flood and Desolate. Based on what I know, the Sky Hall shouldcurrently be the strongest, the Earth Hall is second while the Desolate Hall islast. Wu Dao is the deputy hall chief of the Desolate Hall.”

“The disciples that enter the Dao Sect will choose one of the four halls.However, since the Desolate Hall is ranked last, those with great talent willusually be poached by the Sky Hall and the Earth Hall.” Little Marten’s voicesounded out beside Lin Dong’s ears and resolved the doubt within the latter’sheart.

“Which hall should I join then?” Lin Dong immediately understood, and askedsoftly.

Little Marten mused for a moment before slowly spitting out two words.

“Desolate Hall.”
