Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Inside the Tianxuan Temple, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Everyone's gaze, following the sudden sound, was focused on one person.

This person was wearing a Yin-Yang Tai Chi robe and looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. His facial features were as deep and handsome as if they were carved by a knife or an axe. His long snow-white hair formed a sharp contrast with his features, exuding a unique temperament.

It was none other than the Taixuan Patriarch of the Taichu Holy Land.

After his attempt to join Su Mo failed, Patriarch Taixuan weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally chose the son of Emperor Tianxuan as his backer.

Soon, suspicion appeared in the eyes of many Dao Kings, especially those Dao Kings with more than 4,800 Dao. They looked at Taixuan Patriarch as if they were looking at a clown who was trying to attract attention.

Even these people have no way to stabilize the situation. What can he, an aphid who is not even a Dao King of 4,500 Daos, do?

As the Buddhist sect has completely turned to Emperor Tianhao, in order to reverse the situation, it is necessary to at least win over a super power with three quasi-universe masters in charge.

There are only a few such super powers in the entire Shenxiao Universe, and they can be counted on two hands. They have visited other super powers one after another, but no power is willing to participate in this great catastrophe of enlightenment. How could it be possible for another super power to appear out of thin air at this moment?

Even the Tianxuan Emperor, seated above, looked at Grandmaster Taixuan with a tinge of suspicion. However, he maintained his composure and softly inquired, "Taixuan, which force are you referring to? The situation is critical right now. If there truly is a chance of a turnaround, please let me know."

The voice of Emperor Tianxuan echoed faintly in the empty hall, carrying with it a hint of fatigue and anticipation for a turnaround that was difficult to conceal.

In his heart, he actually didn't hold much hope for what Grandmaster Taixuan said, but in this almost hopeless situation, he didn't want to miss even a slight possibility.

Patriarch Taixuan felt the suspicious gazes of the crowd, but he did not panic.

He raised his head slightly, his expression calm, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Your Highness, fellow Taoists, I don't know exactly which force this is..."

The eyes of Emperor Tianxuan, which originally contained a hint of expectation, suddenly froze, and the hope that had just been ignited seemed to be poured over by a basin of cold water.

The Dao Kings below couldn't help but sneer. One of them, a Dao King of 4,800 Daos wearing a golden robe, snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, you don't even know what force you're from, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly here? Taixuan boy, are you trying to make fun of us?"

The other Dao Kings also echoed this, looking at Taixuan Patriarch with annoyed eyes.

"That's right, it's already this late, and you're still doing this. If you don't give me a proper explanation, I'm afraid you'll be blamed for today!"

"This is absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of our time!"

......

The Emperor Tianxuan raised his hand to signal for silence. He suppressed the disappointment and anger that surged within him like a tide. His expression was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and he said coldly, "Taixuan, the situation is extremely urgent right now. This is no time for jokes. You've come forward and claimed there's a force that can help us, but now you can't name that force. How can I trust you?"

Grandmaster Taixuan remained calm and continued to speak calmly, "Your Highness, fellow Taoists, please be patient. I will explain in detail..."

Soon, Patriarch Taixuan explained the matter of Su Mo in detail, especially emphasizing that he had a Dao King with more than 4,700 Dao as a slave.

Upon hearing this, the nearly extinguished ray of hope in the eyes of Emperor Tianxuan rekindled like a spark from dead ashes. He fixed his gaze on Grandmaster Taixuan with a blazing gaze, demanding, "Grandmaster Taixuan, are you sure that man has enslaved over 4,700 Dao Kings? This is no small matter; please do not exaggerate."

The strong cannot be humiliated. To subdue a Dao King with 4,700 Daos and to let a Dao King with 4,700 Daos go to waste are two different concepts.

Even he, the son of the Immortal Emperor with the cultivation of a perfect Dao King, only has two slaves of 4,700 Dao Kings. This is mainly because of his identity as the son of the Emperor of the Shenxiao Immortal Court. Without this halo, it would not be so easy for an ordinary perfect Dao King to obtain 4,700 slaves of Dao Kings.

The Dao Kings below who had been sneering at first now put away their contempt.

"If it's really as Taixuan said, that he could make a Dao King with more than 4,700 Dao become his slave, then the power behind Su Mo is definitely not simple, at least there must be a Perfect Dao King in charge."

"If that person's cultivation level is a bit higher, reaching the 4,800th or even 4,900th Dao King, then the power behind this Su Mo is likely a superpower with multiple Quasi-Universe Masters in charge. But why have I never heard of this Su Mo's name? Is there really such a superpower in this world that has always been hidden? Or is this Su Mo just a pseudonym?"

......

Grandmaster Taixuan's face turned serious, his expression extremely solemn. He looked calmly at the son of Emperor Tianxuan and said solemnly, "Your Highness, every word I say is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. If I say even a single word false, I wish to suffer the backlash of my Dao heart, my cultivation completely destroyed, my soul scattered, and I will be forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and unable to be reborn!"

The Tianxuan Emperor's son looked at the Taixuan Patriarch and nodded slightly. The Taixuan Patriarch had sworn a great Dao Heart Vow, so it shouldn't be false. Then, his eyes fixed, and he continued to ask, "Then, in your opinion, could Su Mo be the master of the forces behind him?"

Grandmaster Taixuan hesitated slightly, his expression somewhat solemn, not daring to make any rash promises: "Your Highness, this... To be honest, I have had limited contact with Su Mo, so I dare not make any rash conclusions."

"In this case, it seems that I have no choice but to go to the Wanling Continent myself and meet Su Mo."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Emperor Tianxuan made a decision. He hoped that Su Mo could convince the forces behind him. This might be their only hope.

"You all should leave, Taixuan stay."

The other Dao Kings bowed and quietly withdrew. As the temple door slowly closed, only Emperor Tianxuan and Grandmaster Taixuan remained in the vast temple.

"Taixuan, there is no time to lose. Take me to see Su Mo right now." There was a hint of urgency and determination in the voice of Emperor Tianxuan. As he spoke, he walked down from the throne.

"Yes, Your Highness."

......

In Yuling Fairy City, the City Lord’s Mansion is an exquisite and elegant bamboo building with a quiet and peaceful environment.

The bamboo building is surrounded by green bamboos. When the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, as if playing a melodious music.

Su Mo was lying comfortably on a bamboo bed, holding a yellowed ancient book. The ancient book looked old, but it exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. As the pages turned, there was a faint trace of Taoist rhyme flowing.

At this moment, Su Mo's sense of urgency had mostly dissipated. Over the past 130 million years, he had refined ten units of the origin of the universe in succession, and had also united with many internal forces to suppress many Dao Kings of four thousand Dao and above. The time for his breakthrough had been suppressed to within seven billion years.

For the master of a universe, this amount of time is not even enough to take a nap. It is not easy to successfully break through the defense of the Shenxiao Immortal Court and descend into their Shenxiao Universe in real body. Even whether he can rush to their Shenxiao Universe from the Jiuyuan Universe is a big problem.

Suddenly, Su Mo seemed to notice something. His originally relaxed expression changed slightly. He slowly raised his head, his eyes piercing through the roof of the bamboo building and looking straight into the void.

After a moment, a meaningful smile gradually emerged on his face, and he whispered to himself, "It seems that I don't have to wait billions of years anymore. The opportunity for my breakthrough has arrived!"
