Chapter 858: Chapter 544: Turmoil The earth-shattering upheaval within the Heaven Burial Palace instantly set off a tidal wave across the Great Universe, madly sweeping into every corner of the known cosmos. The ten ancient clans, especially those major forces whose core talents were completely annihilated, went utterly mad in no time. Ancient and terrifying divine thoughts awoke from the ancestral secret realms of each ancient clan and even from the river of space-time, sweeping violently across the boundless stars like an invisible giant net, attempting to capture the traces of the only three survivors. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 However, the results left all ancient ancestors shocked and powerless. The inference skill failed. Whether it was the Star Divination of the Star Moon Ancient Clan, the Tracking Immortal Technique of the Xu Family, or other secret techniques passed down through the ages by the ancient clans… When they attempted to lock onto those three traces, the feedback was nothing but void, as if these people had never existed in the universe. All the lines of causality and even the tracks of fate were completely obscured and erased by a higher-level power, leaving no trace to follow and no clues to find. These three people were like drops of water merging into the vast sea, leaving no ripples to be tracked. Just as various ancient ancestors were furious yet helpless, two immensely powerful presences with an indelible sense of urgency descended together upon a desolate star domain. They were none other than the two ancient clan members in the current Immortal Court, Xu Daoyu and Feng Qingyi. The news of Feng Tingyun’s fall, as well as the total annihilation of the Feng and Xu family members, made their expressions quite grim at this moment. Relying on an extremely faint and special sense of aura, they finally found the peaceable aura of Yun Tianji, who was meditating on a meteor in this remote star domain. Xu Daoyu stepped forward, instantly appearing before Yun Tianji, his usually aloof and detached face now filled with unprecedented gravity: “What exactly happened inside the Heaven Burial Palace?” Feng Qingyi did not speak, but her eyes, cold as iceberg chasms, were locked onto Yun Tianji, with the surrounding starry sky subtly twisting with flashes of wind, fire, and thunder due to her emotional turmoil. She once had high hopes for Feng Tingyun, and their fall was an unbearable pain for the Feng family. Yun Tianji slowly opened his eyes, suppressing all the complex thoughts deep within, his face appropriately showing signs of lingering fear and pallor from the shock yet to subside. He took a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, rising to bow respectfully: “Reporting to the two ancient ancestors, only Zheng Chu and I survived this time in the Heaven Burial Palace.” He then roughly narrated the general course of events within the Heaven Burial Palace, the gathering of the clan talents, the chaotic battle, and how Xiao Dieqiu slaughtered fiercely, and how Zheng Chu ultimately fought and overcame them… all this was roughly recounted honestly. However, he completely concealed all the core details about the struggle for heavenly fate, especially the existence of the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit within him. This was his greatest reliance for survival at present and revenge in the future, and it must not be lost. Upon hearing his account, Xu Daoyu and Feng Qingyi’s expressions fluctuated. With their insight, they could naturally discern the truth from Yun Tianji’s words. They could sense that Yun Tianji might have been vague in some places, but there was no falsehood in his descriptions of the brutal conflict and the final outcome. Upon hearing that Feng Tingyun died at the hands of Xiao Dieqiu, Feng Qingyi took a deep breath, her fingertips tightened slightly. As for why Zheng Chu ultimately did not target Yun Tianji, they were not surprised. After all, before the Heaven Burial Palace even opened, among all the living creatures of the myriad clans, only Yun Tianji dared to step forward and talk with Zheng Chu, which already hinted at some unknown connection or friendship between the two. That friendship might have been the key to saving his life. Xu Daoyu’s eyes, like lightning, scanned Yun Tianji’s body carefully, keenly detecting the fluctuation of heavenly fate’s aura on him, his tense expression slightly easing: “Enough, in any case, you returning alive is a blessing in misfortune. It seems you’ve also had an encounter in the palace, acquiring some heavenly fate’s blessings, ensuring our Immortal Path wasn’t entirely fruitless, making it a creation in the end.” Surviving the disaster of the falling heavens and having some gain, this was indeed rare. Yun Tianji let out a slight sigh of relief, a timely expression of fatigue appearing on his face, he spoke softly: “After experiencing the death tribulation, I am mentally and physically exhausted and my cultivation needs consolidating. I wish to find a quiet place for a period of peaceful rest, hoping the two ancient ancestors would permit this.” Xu Daoyu and Feng Qingyi exchanged a glance, seeing the heaviness and helplessness in each other’s eyes. At this point, further questioning was meaningless. They said nothing more, as Xu Daoyu swept his large sleeve, taking Yun Tianji with him and instantly disappearing from the desolate star domain. Several days later, the news of Yun Tianji’s survival spread, and the earth-shattering news of the complete fall of a hundred thousand talents could no longer be covered and spread thoroughly, shaking the entire Great Universe. The universe, which was already tumultuous from the opening of the Heaven Burial Palace, plunged into turmoil and panic wholly. The identities of the other two survivors were yet to be confirmed, but rumors about Zheng Chu began to arise. Within the various ancient clans, many living creatures had died by Zheng Chu’s hand, causing countless cultivators to be in an uproar, several ancient ancestors were alarmed, and they did not hesitate to expend their origin to join forces for larger scale inference, swearing to bring Zheng Chu to light. However, the result was the same. Zheng Chu seemed to have vanished from the world, with all celestial plans regarding him shrouded, leaving no trace to follow.
