Boundary Sea and Heavenly River junction.
After hearing the narration of Luo Hou and others, Corpse narrowed his eyes, showing a trace of mockery, and said, "Calamity Unlucky is indeed mysterious, once infected, one quickly falls into darkness.
However, the mysterious power of Calamity Unlucky is not omnipotent. If I am not wrong, its ability to rapidly infect a cultivator’s body and Origin has a direct relationship with the flaws in the cultivator’s Tao Heart!"
"The Mysterious Power, although different from Heart Demon, basically does the same - it targets cultivators whose Tao Hearts are flawed!"
"The swift corruption of Luo Hou and others, falling into darkness, has a direct relationship with their flawed Tao Hearts!"
"Indeed, this is true for Luo Hou," Hong Jun nodded and said, "The White-clothed Empress has not yet achieved Transcendence, yet he stepped onto the Altar of Transcendence, earlier than any of us.
But until Fang Han attained Transcendence, he had not.
In a duel with Fang Han thereafter, his Tao Heart was shattered by one blow from Fang Han.
Then, he led the others and disappeared within the Boundary Sea, reappearing as one of the Weird Ancestors, already fallen to darkness."
Listening to Hong Jun recount Luo Hou’s tale, the expression of mockery on Corpse’s face deepened.
"Once the foremost individual of Primordial, after his Tao Heart had been shattered, he chose to align with darkness, a true disgrace to our kind!"
"That such people could transcend is curious!"
"If he dares to invade Primordial Heaven and Earth, I have ten thousand methods to annihilate him!"
"The powerful beings within the Boundary Sea, due to their pursuit of Transcendence, have flaws in their Tao Hearts, making them susceptible to corruption by darkness, but since my birth, I have cultivated in the Heavenly River, my Tao Heart perfect and impregnable!"
"Better he doesn’t come, but if he does, I will employ thunderous methods to annihilate him!"
Hong Jun’s mouth twitched: "..."
It made it sound like the powerful beings in the Boundary Sea were all inferior to you.
However, Corpse is right, the majority of cultivators in the Boundary Sea, because of their pursuit of Transcendence and not obtaining it, had flaws developed in their Tao Hearts making them susceptible to the type of Mysterious Power, similar to a Heart Demon.
Instead, someone like Corpse, whose Tao Heart is complete, is not easily corrupted, and adding the rules of Primordial Heaven and Earth, it is not easy for Luo Hou to invade.
At least not in the short term.
"It’s good you have this confidence, safeguard Primordial, which is the foundation of this world, and cannot let the mysterious invade!"
"The rest, we will handle properly!"
Hong Jun and others took a deep look at Corpse, then turned and left the junction, heading into the Boundary Sea to search for the whereabouts of Luo Hou and other members of the Mysterious Clan.
As soon as Hong Jun and others had left, the heaven and earth began to undergo peculiar changes, one after another mysterious rule manifested, enveloping the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth, and slowly converged into a supreme Great Array, apart from a gap at the junction between Heavenly River and Boundary Sea, all other places were sealed up.
Corpse sensing the changes to Primordial Heaven and Earth, his expression gradually grew solemn: "Heavenly Dao senses something, Heavenly Dao Laws evolved into a protective Great Array, keeping contact with the Boundary Sea blocked!"
"Leaving one gap, is it leaving a glimmer of hope?"
Corpse turned his gaze towards Primordial Heaven and Earth, discovering the origin of heaven and earth being strengthened by some unknown power, as if Heavenly Dao was using the origin of Primordial to enhance the defense of Primordial Heaven and Earth.
"Calamity Unlucky..."
"Is it really that terrifying?"
"Isn’t it said that only when there is a flaw in the Tao Heart can one be invaded, so why would Primordial Heaven and Earth spontaneously become alert?"
"Could it be that the Mysterious Power, as Hong Jun and others said, can actually ignore Divine Skills, ignore Tao?"
"If that’s the case, then Luo Hou and other mysterious beings really must be defended against!"
"With Hong Jun and others restraining them and Heavenly Dao’s Great Array arrangement, Luo Hou and others won’t be able to enter Primordial anytime soon."
Corpse muttered to himself, not taking it seriously.
Or rather, he felt no pressure.
