"Traitor!
Don't even think about leaving! "Hatred flashed through the snow-robed man's eyes as he chased after them.
The Grand Luo of the Heavenly Court were just about to follow as well.
Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf elder's faces were filled with hatred as well. They formed a series of hand seals to heal their wounds, intending to follow as well.
"All of you, stop." Gu Huojin's voice rang out from the depths of the crimson fireball and the golden threads of light.
The snow-robed man and the others immediately stopped in their tracks.
A cloud of golden smoke billowed out from the depths of the crimson fireball and spread outwards. Countless tadpole-like golden runes danced within it.
The black ghastly claw, the crimson fireball, and the golden threads of light rapidly decayed when they came into contact with the golden smoke. Then, they were reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a cloud of golden smoke.
The nearby people avoided the golden smoke as if it were a venomous scorpion, afraid to come into contact with it in the slightest.
The drifting golden smoke suddenly converged and soon disappeared. The ancient and modern figure appeared. The clothes on his body were brand new and not torn at all.
"Sovereign, are you alright?" Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf elder barely managed to join their bodies together as they flew over.
"How could a mere trick injure me?" Gu Huojin said calmly.
Dao Ancestor Baiyun's eyes flashed with excitement.
The Samsara Temple Master, Li Yuanjiu, and Chi Rong were all extremely powerful. Any one of them could be ranked among the top ten in the world, but Gu Huojin had managed to withstand their combined attack without a single scratch on his clothes.
Gu Huojin formed a series of hand seals and pointed.
Two beams of golden light shot out from his fingertips, entering the bodies of Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf elder respectively.
Their bodies were instantly covered in a layer of golden light. The wounds on their bodies twisted and blurred for a moment before returning to their original state.
Not only had their bodies recovered, but their auras had also returned to normal. It was as if they had not been injured in the previous battle.
"Time Recall!" The Samsara Temple Master frowned when he saw this scene from afar.
"Thank you, Sovereign."
Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf elder stretched their bodies. Their faces lit up with joy as they bowed to Gu Huojin in gratitude.
Gu Huo Jin waved his hand, but he did not look at the two of them. Instead, he looked towards Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong.
"Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, the Heavenly Court has always been kind to you. It allowed you to become one of the Seven Lords, and even promised to lead you to transcend the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Why did you betray the Exalts and join the Samsara Palace?" Dao Ancestor Baiyun also looked at Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong, and asked.
The other people in the Jade Lake also looked at Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong in confusion.
When Perfected Lord Cang Wu and the other two heard this, their bodies trembled slightly, and a trace of shock flashed through their eyes.
During the conversation between Samsara Temple Master and Gu Huo Jin, Gu Huo Jin had mentioned transcending the Heavenly Way. They had thought that Gu Huo Jin was just trying to refute Samsara Temple Master.
Judging from Daofather Baiyun's words, it seemed as though Gu Jin really was working on this, and that he had already made some progress.
As Dao Ancestors, what they were most concerned about was resisting the corrosion of the Heavenly Dao. If there really was a way to surpass the Heavenly Dao and not be corroded by it, they would want to know it no matter what.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Baiyun hasn't noticed anything. Then you should be careful. Don't count the money for Gu Huo Jin after you've been betrayed." Li Yuanjiu smiled faintly.
"How dare you slander a Supreme!" Daoist Baiyun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly shouted angrily again.
"Slander or not, you'll find out soon enough." Li Yuanjiu chuckled and retreated behind Samsara Temple Master.
Chi Rong also retreated, allowing Samsara Temple Master to stand at the forefront.
"Fellow Daoists from the Realm of True Immortals, I have not come to the Bodhi Banquet to stir up trouble. I have come to tell you something," Samsara Temple Master said, his voice spreading far and wide.
Gu Huo Jin frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
"Gu Huo Jin has been planning this for a long time, so long that some people might not have even stepped onto the path of Immortal Cultivation.
Gu Huo Jin's plan is so grand that it goes against common sense. He is the greatest traitor in the world and deserves to be punished! "Samsara Temple Master pointed at Gu Huo Jin and shouted.
"How dare you!"
"You scoundrel, how dare you say such malicious words. You're the greatest traitor in the world!"
The people of the Heavenly Court flew into a rage.
"Are you here to spread rumors today?
Why do you say that I'm the greatest traitor in the world? "Gu Huo Jin said with a smile. He was not angry.
"It's a long story. If you want to start from the source, you have to trace it back to a very ancient era.
I'm sure all of you here know that when a Dharma is cultivated to the Dao Ancestor Realm, one can borrow the Dharma of the Heavenly Dao and wield great power, but also face the danger of being devoured by the Heavenly Dao.
This is a sore point for all Dao Ancestors. Dao Ancestors of all kinds of Dharma have been searching for a way to escape. Samsara Temple Master looked deeply at Gu Huo Jin, then continued.
"Some people tried to cultivate secret techniques to strengthen their minds to fight against the Heavenly Dao. Some tried to refine special fairy weapons to resist the Heavenly Dao. Others tried to imitate Earthly Immortals and guide the Power of Faith into their bodies.
Unfortunately, these methods had little effect.
However, things changed during the reign of the 19th Supreme Master of the Heavenly Court, the previous Supreme Master, "Samsara Temple Master continued.
Gu Huo Jin's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"The Ninth Supreme Master of the Heavenly Court was a genius. He entered the Dao through the use of formations. Not only did he cultivate the Law of Time to the Dao Ancestor Realm, but he also created a Peerless Divine Sense that fused the laws of different elements into one through the use of formations. His name was known throughout the realms," said the Samsara Temple Master with admiration.
Everyone nearby revealed looks of surprise. They were intimidated by the might of the past and present, but they didn't dare to show it out in the open. They secretly transmitted their voices and discussed among themselves.
It was extremely difficult to fuse the Dharma Principles of different Dharma Principles. It could only be achieved by two cultivators who practiced hard.
It was incredible that someone had created a Divine Power to fuse the Dharma Principles with a formation.
However, such a powerful figure with such a peerless Divine Power should have been famous throughout the world. Why had they never heard of him?
"This Supreme Master's surname is Gu, and his given name is Dao Shen. Although it has been a long time and outsiders may not know him, I'm sure everyone in the Heavenly Court, from the ancient times to the present, knows his name." The Samsara Temple Master looked at Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the others and said with a faint smile.
"Gu Dao Shen …" Everyone in the Jade Pool was shocked.
Gu Dao Shen and Gu Huo Jin shared the same surname. Was there a relationship between the two?
"What's the point of talking about the past? You brought people from the Devil Domain and the Barbarian World here and incited Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong to rebel. You want to wage war against the Heavenly Court, right? If that's the case, let's fight. There's no need to beat around the bush!" Dao Ancestor Baiyun glanced at Gu Huo Jin and suddenly interrupted Samsara Temple Master.
However, his words implied that he had tacitly agreed with Samsara Temple Master's words. Everyone's expressions changed.
"Since it's true, what's the harm in talking about it? Are you all feeling guilty?" Samsara Temple Master said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the others in the Jade Pool began to discuss among themselves through telepathy. From time to time, they would steal glances at Gu or Jin and the others, wondering if what the Samsara Temple Master had said was true, and if Gu or Jin and the Celestial Court were secretly plotting something they did not know.
Those who had planned to side with the Heavenly Court quietly suppressed their thoughts.
Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the others frowned.
In fact, they didn't know much about Gu Daoshen. They only knew that he was the previous generation's Supreme, and that something had happened between Gu Huo Jin and Gu Daoshen when the position of Supreme was passed down.
They didn't know what exactly happened, but now that Samsara Temple Master had mentioned it, it was obviously not something beneficial to them.
Gu Huo Jin's expression was calm. He seemed indifferent to everything around him and had no intention of stopping Samsara Temple Master.
"Supreme, although I don't know what he's going to say, I think we can't let him continue to mislead us. Let's take action now!
Although they outnumber us, with your Divine Sense, I think we have at least a seventy percent chance of winning.
As for these people from the other Immortal Realms, even if they don't help us, I don't think they would dare to join Samsara Temple, "the dwarf elder said anxiously.
"It's fine. Let him speak.
What else do you know? Just say it, "Gu Huo Jin said to Samsara Temple Master without using telepathy.
Although Dao Ancestor Baiyun, the dwarf elder, and the others were anxious, there was nothing they could do since Gu Huo Jin had said so in front of everyone.
"Good, you are indeed a Supreme of the Heavenly Court. Although you are treacherous, you are not lacking in spirit." Samsara Temple Master laughed with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"After Gu Daoshen, he discovered that he could use multiple types of laws at the same time to resist the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he combined nine types of laws and created the Dao God Seal. This Divine Sense can delay the erosion of the Heavenly Dao. The Bodhi Fruit of the Way consumed by the Dao Ancestors actually has the effect of delaying the erosion of the Heavenly Dao because it contains the power of the Dao God Seal." Samsara Temple Master took out his Bodhi Fruit of the Way and continued.
Hearing this, the crowd came to a sudden realization.
So this was the reason why the Bodhi Fruit of the Way could delay the erosion of the Heavenly Dao.
Supreme Cangwu and the others stood to the side, listening to everything as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
Supreme Cangwu looked at Samsara Temple Master with mixed feelings.
He had just secretly mocked Samsara Temple Master for his reckless behavior. He did not expect that Samsara Temple Master had already made arrangements and had information that he had never heard of.
Compared to Samsara Temple Master, he was just a frog at the bottom of a well.
He originally wanted to take revenge today, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, he felt a sense of discouragement in his heart.
"You even know about the Dao God Seal. It seems that you really know a lot and are well prepared," Gu Huo Jin said calmly, looking at Samsara Temple Master.
"To Gu Daoshen, the Dao God Seal is just a small Divine Sense.
He has devoted his life to the 'Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation'. You must know about it, Fellow Daoist Gu Huo Jin. After all, the person who helped him complete the formation was your Self Undead, "Samsara Temple Master said with a snort.
"What!" Samsara Temple Master's words caused an uproar. They looked at Gu Huo Jin in disbelief.
Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the others looked at Gu Huo Jin as well.
