Above the Great Dao

Chapter 496: Probing


At dawn, Zhong Wuwang opened his eyes, lying on the ground, motionless.

His eyes lacked luster, and after a long time, his eyeballs moved slightly. He sat up dully, seeming dazed and confused.

Zhong Wuwang sat there for a long time before staggering to his feet. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, finding a smear of blood at the center of his brows.

Zhong Wuwang repeatedly stared at the bloodstain between his brows, struggling to recall, only feeling a splitting headache.

"I've been injured."

He discerned the direction, and after a moment, remembered the road, heading towards Despair Slope.

Wen Wuyu followed his master, Qingheng Daoist, to the Welcome Immortal Tower, preparing to return to Despair Slope.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Eye above scanned them all around, Wen Wuyu said, "Master, has Senior Brother truly become an Immortal?"

Qingheng Daoist smiled and said, "It's naturally true. The Heavenly Venerate was alerted; how could it be false? The Heavenly Venerate said he is the first of the new Immortal Dao, with a limitless future."

Wen Wuyu said, "I heard several cultivators crossed tribulation before Senior Brother; how is it that Senior Brother became the first of Immortal Dao?"

Qingheng Daoist said, "Those few did cross tribulation but did not harmonize. Wuwang was the first to harmonize. Also, don't call him Senior Brother anymore. He is already an Immortal. You should call him Uncle Master, no, call him Elder Master."

Wen Wuyu pursed her lips, feeling a bit unwilling. She entered Despair Slope around the same time as Zhong Wuwang, not expecting Zhong Wuwang to already be a new Immortal, while she remained in the Refining God Realm.

At this moment, a figure came into her view.

"Senior Brother Wuwang!"

Wen Wuyu exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly correcting herself, "Elder Master Wuwang."

Qingheng Daoist also saw Zhong Wuwang, smiling, "Elder Brother Wuwang, Qingheng greets you. Congratulations on harmonizing and achieving the Immortal Realm!"

Zhong Wuwang walked past them dazedly, as if he hadn't heard their words. The light from the Welcome Immortal Tower's Heavenly Dao Divine Eye fell all around, illuminating Zhong Wuwang entirely, but he did not stop, simply passing through the light curtain.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Divine Eye had already verified his true body and did not block him.

Wen Wuyu was stunned, seeing the back of Zhong Wuwang's head, empty and hollow, with a fist-sized large hole.

Qingheng Daoist also saw the wound on the back of his head, his heart shaking greatly. If it were them, wounded like this, they would likely have died long ago. Unexpectedly, Zhong Wuwang could still walk, could still return home!

"Who on earth injured him like this?"

Moments later, the Heavenly Dao Practitioners and Immortals of Despair Slope gathered around Zhong Wuwang, looking at the large hole at the back of his head with frowns.

At this moment, the Heavenly Venerate hurriedly arrived, seeing Zhong Wuwang, surprised in his heart. He quickly came behind Zhong Wuwang to look at the large hole, seeing the surface woven with many strange Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, slowly repairing his damaged brain.

Zhong Wuwang surviving was simply a miracle!

Gong Wanqing said, "Heavenly Venerate, Wuwang was severely injured by someone, but he cultivated an Undying Technique that preserved his life. His brain is mostly destroyed; he can only remember some simple things. We just asked if he recognized us; some names he could say, some he couldn't recognize."

"Wuwang, do you know who I am?" The Heavenly Venerate asked kindly.

Zhong Wuwang looked over dazedly, his lips moving, "Heavenly Venerate."

The Heavenly Venerate said, "Do you know who injured you like this?"

Zhong Wuwang tried to recall, suddenly clutching his head, screaming, "I can't remember! My head hurts so much!"

The Heavenly Venerate frowned slightly, sighing, "Poor child."

Gong Wanqing asked, "Heavenly Venerate, can he still recall the past?"

The Heavenly Venerate shook his head, "His brain is destroyed, even if this Immortal Technique can restore his brain, it's likely the memory won't return. Who on earth harmed the prodigy of our Despair Slope?"

He lamented deeply, suddenly remembering something, "Where is Kou Immortal? Wuwang, didn't Kou Immortal go to find you?"

Zhong Wuwang was in a stupor, unable to recall anything.

The Heavenly Venerate's face changed slightly, urgently ordering, "Go quickly and check Kou Daoist's Life Lamp!"

Gong Wanqing flew ahead swiftly. After a moment, she returned hurriedly with a pale face, shaking her head, "Kou Immortal's Life Lamp has been extinguished."

The Heavenly Venerate was overcome with grief.

Everyone was filled with sorrow and anger, someone tremblingly spoke, "Who on earth killed Kou Immortal?"

"The one who killed Kou Daoist must be the same as the one who injured Wuwang."

The Heavenly Venerate fought back sorrow, "Only that one didn't expect Wuwang to cultivate the Undying Immortal Method. In this world, only one person possesses such power; that's the Demon Emperor of Demon City."

The people of Despair Slope were furious, wishing to mobilize at once to search Demon City, to avenge Kou Immortal and Zhong Wuwang.

The Heavenly Venerate shouted, "Everyone, think through it!"

The crowd gradually calmed down, Gong Wanqing said, "Now, Ping Immortal and Xi Immortal have already led our top experts from Despair Slope to support Feng Daoist; furthermore, Lady Houtu is stirring, we absolutely mustn't disrupt our formations."

Qiu Ning Fairy nodded, "Indeed! The enemy is in the dark while we are in the open. If we disrupt ourselves, we'll only suffer greater losses! Everything follows the Heavenly Venerate!"

Everyone's gaze fell on the Heavenly Venerate, who was the backbone of Despair Slope.

The Heavenly Venerate said in a deep voice, "The urgent task is to activate the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace to create Heavenly Soldiers. On the other side, monitor the world to search for the Demon Emperor's whereabouts. As for Wuwang, let him stay in my Tianyuan Palace for proper healing."

With solemn hearts, everyone immediately went to activate the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace.

The Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace is a treasure that the demon carried during the attack on the West Bull New Continent, among the treasures on its back. As the demon fought fiercely, terrifying monsters leaped out from the furnace, surging like a tide in every direction, battling desperately against the human clan's cultivators.
