The man enveloped in divine radiance was none other than the palace master of the Heavenly God Palace.
Of course, this was only an avatar, not the palace master's true body.
As for the frail-looking elder, he was the Old Wizard of the Heavenly God Palace, said to possess knowledge that spanned both ancient and modern times, excelling in divination, prophecy, and prediction, his art of divination unrivaled under heaven.
The palace master of the Heavenly God Palace had always held this Old Wizard in high regard. Whenever encountering major events or needing to make significant decisions, he would always request this Old Wizard to perform a divination.
"What exactly happened here," the palace master asked after studying the deep pit at the center of the hall for a moment.
His voice carried a peculiar rhythm, seeming to blend completely with this stretch of heaven and earth, rumbling and echoing within the soul seas of every person present.
The high-ranking members of the Tianyou Tomb all turned pale with fright, their reverence for this palace master deepening.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, the matter is as follows..."
The Punishment Elder of the Tianyou Tomb took a step forward and carefully recounted the events in detail, his attitude reverent to the extreme.
Although he was a Supreme Elder of the Tianyou Tomb and considered a somewhat famous expert in the Eastern Barrens, compared to the palace master of the Heavenly God Palace, he was insignificant, merely a minor character.
"Wizard, please perform a divination," the palace master said after listening, turning to the Old Wizard.
"Very well," the Old Wizard nodded.
With a wave of his sleeve, a divination altar flew out and landed before him.
On the altar were placed the standard tools for divination: tortoise shells, copper coins, talisman paper, red thread, and so on.
The Old Wizard then took out an incense stick emitting a peculiar fragrance, lit it, and inserted it into a bowl of rice. Pointing with his hand, several yellow talisman papers flew up, igniting spontaneously in the wind, releasing mysterious runes that flew towards the deep pit.
"Time Reversal!"
Chanting an arcane incantation, the Old Wizard suddenly gave a loud shout.
*Hummm…*
The space-time within the deep pit suddenly began to change, twisting continuously.
Then, everyone saw a Teleportation Altar suddenly appear, covering the deep pit.
A Teleportation Altar!
The onlookers were utterly shocked.
This Teleportation Altar was precisely the one that led to the continent of the Canghuang Realm.
*Rumble…*
Suddenly, five longswords bursting with surging sword radiance appeared around the altar and began digging out the soil surrounding it.
After a moment, all the soil around and beneath the altar had been hollowed out.
Then, a large hand appeared, lifting that altar and moving it from its original position.
"The Time Reversal Technique!"
Everyone witnessing this scene was profoundly shaken.
One must know, this Teleportation Altar had disappeared half a month ago.
This Old Wizard could actually recreate a scene from half a month ago before their very eyes—such means were truly astounding.
It must be remembered that the Primordial Continent was a high-level world, its Laws of the Great Dao extremely advanced.
As the saying goes, the Heavenly Dao cannot be spied upon. Attempting to deduce events that occurred within the Primordial Continent was vastly, vastly more difficult than deducing events in those low-level worlds!
This proved that the Old Wizard's divination art indeed lived up to its reputation!
"Whoever you are, reveal yourself!"
The Old Wizard suddenly shouted, pointing towards the large hand that lifted the altar. Surging runes rushed towards that hand.
Then, everyone saw an arm slowly materialize, followed by a shoulder. Subsequently, a small part of a torso connected to the shoulder began to materialize.
Everyone fixed their gazes, wanting to see exactly who had taken away that Teleportation Altar!
The person who had taken the Teleportation Altar was about to appear before them!
At the same time.
Ye Yunfei had already arrived before a majestic stretch of mountain range.
The headquarters of the Ziwei Sect was located within this mountain range!
Ye Yunfei teleported everyone into the Phantom Tower, then stepped out of the Green Flying Boat, standing high in the sky at a distance, gazing at the Ziwei Sect.
A familiar feeling surged within him.
Memories related to the Ziwei Sect also reappeared in his mind.
The Ziwei Sect was located within the borders of Yan Country in the Eastern Barrens of the Primordial Continent.
Originally, this was an ancient and venerable sect with a deep and ancient heritage. In antiquity, it had once been one of the top three super-ancient sects in the entire Primordial Continent in terms of strength.
The Ziwei Sect of that era stood peerless across the entire Primordial Continent, its prestige resonating throughout the world.
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the Ziwei Sect gradually declined, to the point where it had now become merely a local minor sect!
The current Ziwei Sect was one of the three major sects of Yan Country.
The difference in status—from a top-three super-ancient sect on the continent in ancient times to a sect of a minor country in the Eastern Barrens today—was like a vast abyss.
"Back then, Master brought me to the Ziwei Sect, and I directly became the Senior Brother of the Ziwei Sect. He entrusted me with a task: to strive to revitalize the Ziwei Sect.
Thankfully, I did not disappoint Master's expectations later. I finally made the Ziwei Sect one of the most powerful forces in the Primordial Continent once more, its might even resonating throughout the Three Thousand Worlds," Ye Yunfei thought to himself as he looked at the distant Ziwei Sect headquarters.
"In my previous life, after Master brought me back to the Ziwei Sect, he only stayed at the headquarters for a year, supervising my cultivation of the Nine-Yang Scripture.
One year later, Master departed, saying he was going to investigate a certain secret from the ancient history of the Primordial Continent—the World-Destroying War!
As a result, he never returned. From then on, I never saw Master again."
Ye Yunfei recalled all matters pertaining to Zisheng Zhenjun.
"After becoming a Heavenly Emperor, I spent a great deal of time searching for Master. Moreover, in the course of searching for Master, I conducted in-depth investigations and research into the World-Destroying War, but I never managed to find any trace of Master's whereabouts."
Ye Yunfei sighed softly in his heart.
"I hope Master is still at the Ziwei Sect headquarters now. I have too many questions I want to ask him," Ye Yunfei said to himself, looking deep into the Ziwei Sect headquarters.
However, deep in his heart, Ye Yunfei understood that if one were to calculate based on the timeline of his previous life, at this point in time, Zisheng Zhenjun would have long since departed.
"Alright, let's go in.
First step: become the Senior Brother of the Ziwei Sect."
Ye Yunfei raised his head and began walking towards the Ziwei Sect headquarters.
However, at this very moment.
"Not good, Ye Yunfei! Someone is performing a divination targeting you!"
Suddenly, Hun Lao's voice rang out within Ye Yunfei's soul sea.
"It must be someone from either the Heavenly God Palace or the Tianyou Tomb!" Ye Yunfei speculated. Currently, within the Primordial Continent, only these two factions would perform divination targeting him.
"Enter the Heavenly Dao Tower immediately. I will conceal the tower's aura, blocking the divination from the outside world," Hun Lao said.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei nodded.
He directly entered the Heavenly Dao Tower, sat down cross-legged, and then executed an advanced secret art specifically designed to prevent others from divining him.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also took out the Veiling Canopy, directly activated it, and suspended it above his head.
After arriving in the Primordial Continent, Ye Yunfei discovered that this Veiling Canopy actually remained effective here as well.
Ye Yunfei understood that this Veiling Canopy must be a treasure originating from some high-level world!
Immediately, a profound and mysterious aura emerged, enveloping Ye Yunfei's body.
Simultaneously, Hun Lao also concealed the Heavenly Dao Tower's aura, isolating it from external perception.
