Chapter 250 Old Man Cao Returns and is Arrested
After returning to Decheng, Wang Yuan concentrated on understanding the laws of time and space.

The five elements clones comprehend the five elements laws.

Qingmu's clone worked hard to collect resources, refine elixirs, and develop his power.

Lihuo's clone studied various powerful magical skills.

As time passed, strong men above the fifth rank gradually discovered the changes in the world.

The Dao became obscure, the space became weak, and the spiritual energy was slowly becoming thinner...

Is this a decline?
It may not be obvious in a short period of time, but it may become very obvious in ten, eight, or even a hundred years.

And if things continue to develop in this way, a thousand years later, the Cang Yuan Realm may not be suitable for cultivation, and even a sixth-grade strongman may be difficult to produce.

Is this the end of the Dharma?
It shouldn't be like that. The Cang Yuan Realm has only been around for millions of years from its beginning to now. According to the development of the Heavenly Dao, it is far from here.

Many forces and powerful people panicked and actively looked for the cause.

As a result, the strong men in the Arctic Holy Cave walked out one after another.

"A holy ancestor of Yuyang Palace from 20,000 years ago has returned!"

……

"A holy ancestor from Rover Palace 80,000 years ago has returned!"

……

"A holy ancestor of Guanghan Palace has returned!"

……

"A holy ancestor of the Earth Temple has returned!"

……

These saints walked out of the ice cave with only one purpose, to find out the reason why the spiritual energy disappeared.

This has an impact on the entire Cang Yuan Realm.

All forces and races actively cooperated, but after searching for several years and searching the entire Cang Yuan Realm, they still couldn't find the root cause.

All I know is that the origin of this world is dissipating, as if being swallowed by something, and its target is vaguely pointing to the underworld hell.

This means that there is an unparalleled terror in the underworld that is devouring the origin of the Cang Yuan Realm...

"!!!"

This made all the powerful forces who knew about it feel uneasy, as if a catastrophe and disaster were approaching.

The existence that can devour the origin of a world, its strength can be imagined, at least it is a true god, the first grade is not enough!
And if it exists like this, who can stop it?

Even if a chaotic body achieves the first level, it will not work unless it can achieve true godhood.

However, the Cang Yuan Realm has not been able to give birth to a true god since ancient times, and now its origin has been devoured by a terrifying existence, and perhaps even the first level cannot be achieved.

So, how are they going to fight?
"The end is coming!"

"This world will no longer exist in a thousand years!"

Rumors are circulating.

Doomsday talk began to spread in the Cang Yuan Realm.

at the same time……

"Bam—"

In the northwest, a sinister aura rose into the sky, and a ghost saint from the underworld broke through the passage between the yin and yang worlds and appeared in the Cangyuan Continent.

The Red Fire Sect's Suzaku Saint Ancestor went forward to kill him, holding the Suzaku Sword.

But unfortunately, it was only severely injured but not completely killed.

"Bam—"

Two years later, another ghost saint was born in the southwest.

This time, the three second-rank strongmen, Bashan Sword Saint, White Tiger Great Sage, and Wu Saint Emperor Jue, joined forces, but the result was still only severe damage, and they failed to kill it completely.

A year later, another ghost saint was born in the South China Sea.

Because of the long distance, the information that can be transmitted back is limited.

It seems that it cannot be completely killed.

Everyone realized that the crisis was getting closer and closer, and the underworld was eroding the ground more and more.

I'm afraid it won't be long before it completely breaks out, and then...

The various hegemonic forces began to search everywhere for ancient books and ancient races, considering the matter of crossing the border and leaving.

If the Cang Yuan Realm is destined to be destroyed, the only thing to do is to leave.

True saints have the ability to travel across the starry sky.

The snake people could not help but come into the sight of the powerful people.

However, the snake people are now under the protection of the Five Elements Divine Body and the Chaos Body and cannot move lightly.

There are more than just the snake people among the extraterritorial races. There are also the winged people, the dragon people, and so on.

Find another target.

In addition, information resources can be shared, so there is no need to fall out.

The starry sky is too vast. Even if there is a little information, it is difficult to find a suitable planet for life without an accurate star map.

Cooperation is best.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed, and it was the 35th year of Yong'an.

An old man in a gray robe flew southward from the north and entered the territory of Fuzhou.

"Let's go to Decheng and take a look. I heard that it is the only place in the world that is thriving and full of vitality."

"Shh-"

The old man landed in front of Decheng.

"Uncle Cao?"

A suspicious voice sounded.

"!!"

Old man Cao suddenly felt uneasy.

It couldn't be such a coincidence that I was discovered by someone I knew from Huanhai Pavilion right after I landed? "It's really you!"

The disciple of Huanhai Pavilion confirmed it, and then immediately turned around and excitedly reported to the middle-aged man beside him:
"Your Excellency, that man is the alchemy master Cao Zhen who rebelled against the pavilion thirty years ago. I promise I will not make a mistake!"

"I know!"

Hong Tao looked at Old Man Cao.

Of course he knew Old Man Cao.

Old Man Cao is older than him, and he had eaten many pills made by Old Man Cao in his past.

Only thirty years had passed. With his level of cultivation, how could he have forgotten?

"What a coincidence, Mr. Cao.

There is no other way. You have to follow me back to the pavilion to accept punishment.

Don’t make me do it.”

"Ah~~"

Old man Cao sighed.

It's so unlucky that his father opened the door for him and brought him even more bad luck.

Thirty years later, he was arrested as soon as he returned.

Not only did his strength not increase, it actually decreased a lot. He was no match for the fourth-rank Hong Tao and couldn't even withstand one of his attacks.

and so……

"Walk."

Hong Tao caught Old Man Cao and took him back to Huanhai Pavilion.

This time he came to Decheng with the intention of sparring with the Five Elements followers, but he didn't meet them because none of them were there.

Even the masters of the Chen family disappeared.

He was wondering if he wanted to go out of town for a walk and try his luck, when he met Old Man Cao.

It's also good luck.

Soon they returned to Huanhai Pavilion and were about to land.

"Whizzing--"

Two figures shot out.

They are brother and sister Chen Hanxing and Chen Wenying.

"Where are you two going?"

Venerable Hong Tao quickly stopped him and asked.

He felt something was wrong.

"Venerable Hong Tao."

Chen Hanxing briefly greeted Venerable Hong Tao, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Old Man Cao, feeling that he seemed somewhat familiar.

"My brother-in-law is about to break through and become a saint, so he asked my sister and I to go and watch the ceremony."

"What? Dharma King Wang Yuan is about to break through to the second level?"

Venerable Hong Tao exclaimed, his face changed drastically.

How is this possible, it’s only been a few years?
Even a chaotic body can't be so perverted, right?

"Wang Yuan is about to break through to the second level?"

Old man Cao's face also changed and he was shocked.

It had only been twenty-three years since they last met, and now...

"I'm going to take a look too."

"You? You'd better stay in the dungeon in the pavilion."

Venerable Hong Tao glanced and said in a cold voice.

"Are you Mr. Cao?"

Chen Wenying suddenly spoke.

"Well, little girl, which one of the Chen family are you?"

Old man Cao smiled and nodded and asked.

Looks familiar, but...

"I'm Chen Wenying, the Thirteenth Old Man. I was only twelve years old when I met Master Cao."

Chen Wenying smiled.

"Thirteen……"

Old man Cao's expression changed slightly.

"What level of cultivation are you at now?"

"I just entered the fourth rank three years ago."

Chen Wenying answered.

"Fourth...grade..."

Old man Cao was speechless and it was simply unbelievable. His defense was broken again.

This, this...what's wrong with the way of heaven?
The little one back then had not yet reached the level of quality and had not yet shown any outstanding talent.

Now he has actually reached the fourth level, surpassing him.

"Mr. Cao! Yes, Mr. Cao, you are Mr. Cao!"

Chen Hanxing finally reacted and exclaimed.

Oh my god, I almost forgot about this old man.

"Do you know?"

Venerable Hong Tao was confused and had a bad feeling.
