Chapter 1975: Chapter 872: Tragedy of the East, Stepping into Burial Calamity

Ancestral God Star, Taichu Hall.

Han Yi stood frozen after hearing the words of Dongfang Du, as scenes of his first encounter with Dongfang He flashed through his mind.

On the Ancestral God Star, Dongfang He was, after Nangong Hao, the second person Han Yi felt he could rely on.

And after thousands of years, Han Yi never expected to hear news of Dongfang He again, let alone that he had perished abroad.

A wave of sorrow surged in Han Yi’s heart; this emotion buried deep, but stubbornly emerging.

Han Yi naturally believed the words of Dongfang Du; there was no need for him to deceive, and once Han Yi left the Taichu Hall, he could investigate and uncover the truth.

“The Burial Disaster Dao Domain is full of perilous places. Junior Brother He must have been searching for something. It’s unknown what happened, but he perished there, with the divine breath seal of our clan shattered.”

“Elder Brother Sheng Lie went to search for him, but he couldn’t find any clues.”

“Just at that time, the calamity of the Tao Tombs grew more severe, and a few high-stage elders received orders to go out and hunt Tomb Beasts, unable to spare any further efforts.”

Dongfang Du said thus, shook his head with a sigh, and turned back to the depths of the hall.

He and Dongfang He were both Middle-stage Divine Sovereigns with similar status. If Dongfang He could perish abroad, were he in the same situation, he would have difficulty escaping the same fate; hence the sigh.

Han Yi walked out of Taichu Hall, silent.

Standing outside the hall, he looked up slightly, his face showing an expression of sorrow.

At his level, with a stable mindset, such emotions are rare, but it was clear that the grief in his heart was unrestrainable.

A thirty minutes later, he gradually calmed his emotions.

“Burial Disaster Dao Domain.” Han Yi murmured.

He had made up his mind to personally visit the Burial Disaster Dao Domain to investigate the cause of Dongfang He’s demise.

The Nine Great Dao Domains of the Taoist Spirit Chaos World are each vitally important and focus on different aspects.

The Central Dao Region is where the Dao God Sect resides, the foremost among the Nine Great Dao Domains.

The Ancestral God Domain is the dwelling place of the Chaos Divine Race, with Ancestral God Star being the sacred origin of the Chaos Divine Race.

The Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain is a land of chaos and a place of revelry for those without order.

The Primordial Demon Dao Domain, a site where demonic nature gathers.

…

Among the Nine Great Dao Domains, the most easily overlooked or least famous is the Burial Disaster Dao Domain. This lack of attention and notoriety doesn’t stem from the domain being worthless but because it’s too dangerous. Very few cultivators set foot there.

And so, amidst the Chaos, the cultivators inadvertently overlook it.

It is rumored that a Transcendent One perished in the Calamity Transcendence Domain, and after their death, the miasma enveloped the entire domain, turning it into an endlessly dangerous territory, where even a Heavenly Sovereign, if careless upon entering, could perish.

Of course, that is just a rumor, and Han Yi is well aware that Transcendent Ones, in a certain sense, possess an immortal body within the Chaos Realm.

Unless the fallen Transcendent One, a Realm Venerable, was not a Taoist cultivator but from another Chaos Realm, then indeed, it could be possible.

Furthermore.

Due to the permeation of the deathly aura, the entire Burial Disaster Dao Domain has almost no veins of ore or Spiritual Items, therefore, failing to attract cultivators to treasure hunt.

With only dangers and no opportunities, over time, the domain has faded from people’s minds. Although it still lies within the Nine Great Dao Domains, it is seldom mentioned, let alone ventured into.

Han Yi has traversed the Chaos for tens of thousands of years, and he has set foot in the Central, Ancestral God, Primordial Demon, Chaotic Ancient, Fu Heng, Heavenly Destiny, and Ancient Netherworld–these seven Dao Domains.

Among them, Ancestral God, Primordial Demon, Chaotic Ancient, and Heavenly Destiny, he has visited many times. As for the Ancient World located in the Fu Heng Dao Domain, not to mention, even though he cannot return to the Ancient World now, it still remains the most important place for him. In addition, the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, also part of the Fu Heng Dao Domain.

As for the other two Dao Domains, Guanghan Dao Domain and Burial Disaster Dao Domain, although he has heard of them and knows some about them, he has never visited.

The Guanghan Dao Domain is not large, but it is extremely cold in nature, with almost all cultivators containing a cold attribute.

There is only one Overlord Level power in this domain, the Guanghan Tao Palace. When Han Yi first saved Qin Yi, it was from the Xiling of the Guanghan Tao Palace.

As for the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, filled with the breath of death, even Heavenly Sovereigns would not visit unless necessary.

Having calmed down, Han Yi had even more doubts. Why did Dongfang He go to the Burial Disaster Dao Domain? What was he seeking, and where did he fall?

He needed to grasp these pieces of information before he could trace the truth of Dongfang He’s death.

A Middle-stage Divine Sovereign, especially one from the Ancestral God Star, should not fall so easily. Even if trapped, they should be able to endure for a long time.

As his thoughts surged, he flew up. Instead of fleeing outward, he swept toward the deeper regions of Taichu Ancestor Land and stopped before a divine mountain, then called out:

“Nangong Yi, requesting to see Elder Sheng Lie.”

His voice was not loud, but it penetrated to the top of the divine mountain, the divine breath it contained sufficient to draw the attention of even High-stage Divine Sovereigns.

“Come on up.”

A grand voice came from the top of the divine mountain.

Han Yi bowed slightly, then soared toward the top of the mountain.

At this moment, he sought an audience with Saintly Fierce Venerable, whose real name was Dongfang Lie; the honorific title being Saintly Fierce. Thus, if one was familiar with the Dongfang family’s Heavenly Sovereigns, they would call him Elder Brother Sheng Lie, and if not, they would refer to him as Saintly Fierce Venerable or Sheng Lie Elder.
