Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal Chapter 1517: Striving for the Summit of Enlightenment Dao! Shocking the Entire Audience!

At the moment, he could only hope that Wang Teng would achieve good results and become stronger, so that his own backing would be stronger too.

But as for Wang Teng’s current situation, he was unclear, and inevitably felt a bit anxious.

Just then, the mumbling voice of the Celestial Spirit Domain Master echoed in his ears.

“Brother Ying He, are you worried about Wang Teng?”

The Ying He Domain Master took a deep breath and said, “Yes! Currently, Brother Wang Teng’s situation is somewhat dire!”

However, the Celestial Spirit Domain Master coldly said, “Ha! That Wang Teng is so disrespectful, offending the Daoist Monarch. If the Daoist Monarch acts against him, it’s his own doing, so don’t get involved, brother.”

In the end, the Celestial Spirit Domain Master’s tone was forceful, seemingly thinking that Wang Teng deserved it.

The Ying He Domain Master felt a bit embarrassed.

The Celestial Spirit Domain Master was known to be upright, but blunt both in mind and speech.

With this thought in mind, the Ying He Domain Master gave a wry smile and said, “Brother Tian Kui, Brother Wang Teng’s past behavior was indeed somewhat inappropriate, being young and reckless.”

“However, I am on good terms with him and can’t watch him suffer without trying to help.”

The Celestial Spirit Domain Master slightly furrowed his brow, and after a moment of thought, said,

“After Wang Teng comes out, why don’t you have him apologize to Daoist Monarch Lu Ya right away, and offer some gifts to appease him? Maybe the Daoist Monarch will let it slide. After all, the Daoist Monarch doesn’t want to waste penal actions unnecessarily.”

The Ying He Domain Master brightened up, “That could work!”

The Celestial Spirit Domain Master nodded slightly, “As of now, that’s the only way to save him. But whether Daoist Monarch Lu Ya will let it go is in the hands of fate.”

These words made the Ying He Domain Master anxious again.

Thus, the two of them waited near the entrance of the Yunxiao Hall for Wang Teng’s emergence.

Time ticked by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

The number of people in the Great Hall had exceeded five hundred.

Eighty percent of these people’s strength were at the half-step Eternal level, and ten percent at the half-step Peak.

There were about ten who were at the half-step Perfection level.

As for those in the Eternal Realm, currently there was only Daoist Monarch Lu Ya.

Looking at the scene before him, the Ying He Domain Master thought to himself, if Wang Teng didn’t have the crisis with Daoist Monarch Lu Ya, his strength should rank second among those present.

Just as this thought arose, there was a flicker of white light at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace, and a figure stepped in.

“Huh? It’s the Profound Ancestor!”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the newcomer.

Even the Ying He Domain Master showed a look of reverence.

The newcomer was a bald old man, dressed in a black robe, with a chilling and imposing aura.

His realm aura had already surpassed half-step Great Perfection.

This old man was the Profound Ancestor, one of the Five Extremes.

Among the Five Extremes, he was ranked last, even weaker than the Kun Ancestor.

“Greetings, Lord Profound Ancestor!”

At this moment, many contestants enthusiastically greeted the Profound Ancestor.

Even the Celestial Spirit Domain Master stood in place, cupping his hands in greeting from afar.

The Ying He Domain Master, however, slightly curled his lips.

He secretly compared the Profound Ancestor to Wang Teng and found the Profound Ancestor far inferior.

With Wang Teng as a backing, why would he fear the Profound Ancestor?

Of course, this was under the premise that Daoist Monarch Lu Ya would spare Wang Teng.

At this moment, seeing the crowd greet him with such reverence, the Profound Ancestor was quite pleased and proud.

But the next second, when his eyes landed on Daoist Monarch Lu Ya, his expression changed slightly.

Then, he hurriedly walked up to Lu Ya and respectfully saluted him.

“The Profound Ancestor greets Daoist Monarch!”

Lu Ya nodded with satisfaction, “No need for such formalities! Profound Ancestor, you’ve arrived quite early this time! Among the Five Extremes, you’re the first one here!”

The Profound Ancestor laughed, “Haha~! Before coming, I was wondering if Daoist Monarch would participate in this trial? After all, word has spread that this might be the last trial.”

Lu Ya nodded, “Indeed! That’s why I decided not to wait any longer and to go all out!”

The Profound Ancestor chuckled, “With Daoist Monarch taking action, I’m sure this inheritance will ultimately fall into your hands. The rest of us are just here to accompany and gather some resources.”

Lu Ya laughed sadly and shook his head, “Haha~! The Purple Cloud Inheritance trial is extremely difficult, even more so than the Three Realms Inheritance! Even Luo Hou and the others failed. To attain it, I’m afraid it’s as hard as ascending to the heavens!”

The Profound Ancestor promptly said, “Lord, if you haven’t tried yet, how would you know the result? Perhaps when the trial is over, the heritage will indeed fall into your hands.”

“That’s true!”

Lu Ya couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, the Profound Ancestor added, “Daoist Monarch, I have some personal matters to attend to, if you don’t mind…”

Lu Ya smiled slightly, “Handle your own matters as you need, no need to report to me!”

The Profound Ancestor was overjoyed, “Thank you, Daoist Monarch, for your permission.”

After he said this, the Profound Ancestor turned to look at the crowd, his vast divine sense sweeping across the hall.

“Hmm?”

The Profound Ancestor’s brows furrowed as his divine sense swept over the place.

Then he spoke, “Where is Wang Teng?”

His words left the crowd bewildered.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

This was the first time they had heard of Wang Teng, even Lu Ya did not know who he was.

Among them, only the Ying He Domain Master and the Celestial Spirit Domain Master were stunned.

At that moment, the Taibai Domain Master curiously asked, “Lord, who is this Wang Teng? None of us have heard of him!”

The Profound Ancestor slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot! This lad is unknown, even if you see him, you probably wouldn’t recognize him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Instantly, a projection of a young man’s portrait appeared before everyone.

“Hmm? It’s him!”

“So it’s this kid!”

Boom~!

As soon as the portrait appeared, there was an uproar throughout the hall.

Even Lu Ya looked surprised.

At this moment, seeing everyone’s reaction, the Profound Ancestor was visibly pleased.

It seemed everyone recognized him, which explained their response.

Consequently, he asked, “Everyone, have you seen this boy?”

The Taibai Domain Master quickly responded, “Lord Profound Ancestor, so this kid is called Wang Teng! His cultivation is not high, yet he dares to offend Lord Lu Ya. Right now, he’s fled into the Yunxiao Hall.”

“Hmm? This boy even offended Lord Lu Ya!” the Profound Ancestor was surprised.

Immediately, he realized, “This kid entered the Yunxiao Hall, could he be only at the Main God Realm?!”

The Taibai Domain Master nodded, “Exactly! Profound Ancestor, are you looking for Wang Teng because he also offended you?”

The Profound Ancestor hesitated for a moment, glanced at Daoist Monarch Lu Ya, then said, “That Wang Teng didn’t offend me, but he did offend the Great Sacrificial Heaven! This time, the Great Sacrificial Heaven entrusted me to take action against Wang Teng.”

“Now that the boy has also offended Daoist Monarch, it seems he’s someone who doesn’t understand the vastness of the heavens and the earth! Lord, we must teach him a painful lesson!”

These words caused another uproar.

Nobody expected that a boy merely at the Main God level could also offend the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

At this moment, Lu Ya snickered coldly, “A mere lesson might not suffice, let’s wait and see! When that boy comes out… hmph!”

The Profound Ancestor agreed joyfully, “Daoist Monarch is right! Such an arrogant boy has no reason to exist.”

“Oh, by the way, Lord, that lad entered the Yunxiao Hall to take part in the Divine King’s Trial, right? I wonder how long he’s been in there?”

Lu Ya thought briefly, “About three hours, I suppose!”

The Profound Ancestor mused, “Three hours? According to this timeframe, the boy should probably be at the Three Cauldron Level Divine King’s Trial.”

Lu Ya sneered, “Reaching the Three Cauldron Level in three hours? That boy’s talent reaching such heights? Utterly wishful thinking!”

The Profound Ancestor nodded, “Daoist Monarch, what do you think the boy’s progress is?”

Lu Ya smiled proudly, “In my view, he’s perhaps still struggling in the Two Cauldron Level trial!”

Just as he finished, a sudden change occurred in the hall.

Boom~! Rumble~! Rumble~!

Suddenly, a rumble emanated from above the hall.

An ethereal mechanical voice rang out…

[Purple Cloud Announcement: Congratulations to contestant Wang Teng for achieving the Eight Cauldron Level Divine King, setting a new cosmic record and obtaining a record creation reward!]

What?!

Eight Cauldron Level Divine King!

Boom~!

The entire hall was aghast!

Everyone was stunned…
