Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 291 - The Heavenly Dao

Bai Rouyun felt how her surroundings began to spin around her, she felt how she got disconnected from her senses, and the world plunged into darkness.

She could no longer feel anything around her, and her connection to the heaven and earth essence was also disturbed. It felt as if she had been placed within a spatial container that kept her away from all other things.

Although Bai Rouyun felt uncomfortable due to this sudden loss of control, she did not panic. She, unlike many others that were ascending, had already been informed about this phenomenon by Yun Mingshen, and knew that it would happen when the Heavenly Dao that surrounded the realm was broken apart to make space for their departure.

The feeling was very mysterious. Bai Rouyun could not determine how much time had passed before she once again regained her senses. On one hand it felt as if an eternity had gone by, but at the same time, it was merely a short moment.

However, she was not in a mood to dwell on these complicated emotions as she vigilantly straightened her back and began to survey her surroundings.

Her brows furrowed as she looked around, feeling very complicated and confused. She was supposed to ascend alongside Yun Mingshen, and he had assured her that when she arrived at the Wushi Continent, he would be by her side.

However, she was all alone, and the grass that stretched in front of her was flat and could not hide anyone’s figure.

"Has something gone wrong?" Bai Rouyun could not help but worry, and as she was very uncertain about many things, she quickly flashed into the Primal Chaos Dimension to ask Xiao Bao or anyone else who had some sort of knowledge about her situation.

"Mother, you are here."

Xiao Bao looked at Bai Rouyun; after getting along with her for so many years, he had long since gotten used to referring to her as his mother. In a way, it did not matter if he called her master or mother, so he let go of his worries and followed her whim.

"Xiao Bao, my little treasure, can you tell me what is going on?"

Although things were not as she had initially expected, Bai Rouyun did not panic, and instead hurried to the spirit’s side and began to squeeze his soft cheeks with her hands as she smiled happily.

Her actions were very swift, and it was clear that she had done this many times before. Even Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua, who originally had been horrified by the sight, had long since become immune and continued to cultivate after a quick glance their way.

"We were sealed when you broke through the barrier that kept the two realms apart. What happened?"

Although Xiao Bao was somewhat exasperated when he felt these uncontrollable pinches on his cheeks, he still answered honestly, and tried to steer the conversation the right way.

"I do not see your Uncle Mingshen anywhere."

Although Yun Mingshen was her cousin by blood, she had long since considered him her only true family, and he was well aware of the existence of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, and of the spirits and beasts within.

Ever since the first time they met, Bai Rouyun had been adamant about them calling Yun Mingshen as ’uncle’, and although all of them felt helpless, they still complied to ensure that she was happy.

Xiao Bao was taken aback after hearing that they had been separated from Yun Mingshen, and he could not help but begin thinking about what could have caused this problem.

"I think that the Primal Chaos Pagoda might have caused an energy fluctuation while ascending.

"The barriers around each realm are created by the Heavenly Dao, and it sets its own rules for each realm. The Primal Chaos Pagoda is already a treasure that goes against the Heavens, so if they sensed it during the ascension, it is only natural that the Heavenly Dao got angry and released a few energy ripples."

While Xiao Bao was still considering the various reasons that could be the cause of this strange change, Xiao Jin already spoke with a hesitating voice.

Although her guess seemed a bit abrupt, Xiao Bao could not help but nod his head approvingly when he considered her words.

The Primal Chaos Pagoda was a treasure that had robbed luck from the Heavens. The strength that it wielded when in its prime condition was enough to challenge the Heavenly Dao, and it had caused many conflicts between the first master and the laws of the Heavens.

Since the border between the realms was made by the Heavenly Dao, it was very likely that it had sensed the Primal Chaos Pagoda that was connected to Bai Rouyun’s soul, and wanted to get rid of it.

However, the Heavenly Dao was extremely vigorous. It would never harm the innocent, and Bai Rouyun had not done anything wrong, so it could not get rid of her, hence it just sent her to somewhere else, and hoped that she could not survive without Yun Mingshe protecting her.

"The Heavenly Dao is so annoying!"

Xiao Bao could easily guess the cause of their separation, but he was not happy when he thought about the challenges that Bai Rouyun was going to face on her own.

"Well, we cannot change anything for now. Since you are on your own here on the Wushi Continent, we have to step forward with caution. I would suggest that you take both Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua outside the Primal Chaos Dimension to accompany you for now.. Hopefully, Yun Mingshen or Li Moyun will find you at some point, but until then, we better just try to improve our strength and understand what this world is like."
