Chapter 573: Cultivating in the Boundless World
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This Ancestor Xuan Ti’s sermon was the dojo Jiang Changsheng had traveled to in the past. This sermon would change quite a few lives. One was Haitian, and the other was Fairy Xiaohe.
Haitian’s master, that old man, was killed by his enemies. From then on, a seed of hatred was planted in Haitian.
The Lingxiao Sect had suffered an invasion from the devil path. Other than Fairy Xiaohe who went to listen to the sermon, the Sect Master and his seven disciples had all perished. This incident shocked the entire Fourth Heaven Realm. The word devil had completely entered the eyes of everyone in the Fourth Heaven Realm.
After so many years of development in the Fourth Heaven Realm, the distinction between righteous and devil had appeared. The righteous path emphasized natural Daoism, while the devil path was more radical and unscrupulous. This led to the metamorphosis of the bloodline of many people and the birth of devils.
Even though the Lingxiao Sect was not a large sect, the Lingxiao Sect Master was still a famous almighty expert. His cultivation had reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal and he was ranked as an Immortal Emperor. However, such an existence had fallen, causing a layer of gloom to shroud the hearts of a lot of people.
Jiang Changsheng did not interfere. The karmic backlash was still there, so he naturally would not personally interfere with the affairs of the Fourth Heaven Realm. Moreover, he could not save everyone’s lives.
This incident gave Jiang Changsheng a deeper understanding.
Somehow, this seemed to be a certain pattern. Any world would experience such a change and change the order of the people.
The previous Fourth Heaven Realm was very harmonious. Immortal cultivators were very friendly with each other and mutually benefited each other. From the attitude of the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor and the Kunlun Leader, it could be seen that the previous mighty figures regarded protecting the weak as their duty.
Jiang Changsheng was not worried about Fairy Xiaohe because he had already seen Bai Qi secretly protecting her. For Fairy Xiaohe to be able to turn danger into safety in the years to come, it was all due to karma. She would also grow into the powerful Empress Xiaohe in Jiang Changsheng’s memories.
As for Haitian, even though he did not know Haitian’s motive, even if he were
to risk the backlash of karma to kill him, he could not guarantee that the other party did not have any other means. Therefore, he might as well pretend not to notice.
Jiang Changsheng’s confidence was that he had yet to feel a bottleneck and could continue to become stronger.
However, Haitian’s appearance gave Jiang Changsheng a sense of urgency.
Now that the momentum of the Immortal Dao was set, he did not have to keep an eye on it personally. He might as well go to the boundless world as soon as possible to comprehend the Great Dao.
Therefore, he created a clone and let it stay in the Purple Cloud Palace. Then, he brought the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin to the All Heavens Great Dao Tree and began to cultivate.
He did not recall his clone on the tree and continued to have it guard him.
With his eyes closed, he intended to enter an unprecedented period of seclusion.
The world of mortals was surging and time was like a shuttle. The general situation was irreversible and the common people were floating and sinking.
Fourth Heaven Realm, Supreme Mountain.
Above the sea of clouds, a mountain peak appeared. Several willow trees stood in rows and fluttered with the wind. Under the trees, the Supreme Kunlun and Shi Yantian were sitting opposite each other and drinking.
Right now, the sharpness of the Supreme Kunlun had faded and was replaced by the unfathomable might of the Immortal Dao. He stared at Shi Yantian with a smile and a teasing look in his eyes. He asked with a smile, “100,000 years have passed. When will you dare to challenge the Dao Ancestor?”
Shi Yantian sighed and said, “I do want to save the Dao Ancestor, but I no longer have the qualifications.”
Under the stimulation of the Dao Ancestor, his strength had been soaring. Tens of thousands of years ago, he returned to the Dao Yan and successfully stepped into the Unrestrained Heaven Realm with their help. However, he heard something that was enough to make him dispel the idea of saving the Dao Ancestor.
“Then what are your plans from now on? The Lu Yantian you mentioned has yet to appear and has probably been dealt with by the Dao Ancestor. You’d better go back as soon as possible. You don’t need to interfere in this Great Dao Void,” the Supreme Kunlun said seriously.
He used to hate Shi Yantian’s hypocritical attitude, but later on, he realized that although Shi Yantian was domineering, he was really saving the people he thought were suffering. Even though he had his standards, he had indeed saved many existences. Even when he was in danger, Shi Yantian would take action. After so many things, his impression of Shi Yantian had changed long ago, and he sincerely hoped that he could leave as soon as possible.
With the emotional nature of the cultivators of the Dao Yan, the Supreme Kunlun was afraid that he would be blind one day and insist on challenging the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor would not always give people a chance.
Shi Yantian nodded and said, “Yes, I am indeed prepared to go back. After this farewell, I’m afraid we will never meet again. I will not come back.”
The Supreme Kunlun shook his head and laughed. “Since you won’t be coming back, I can go to the inner void.”
Shi Yantian stared at him and said in all seriousness, “If you encounter the Dao Yan in the future, don’t be rash. The laws of survival in the boundless world are far crueler than the Great Dao Void.’
The Supreme Kunlun understood what he meant and asked, “Did something happen to the Dao Yan?”
Shi Yantian stood up and turned to look into the distance. He said slowly, “The Dao Ancestor is very strong, and it is not impossible for the Immortal Dao to ascend. It is your honor to follow such an expert.”
Such an evaluation moved the Supreme Kunlun. He was not questioning the Dao Ancestor, but he was shocked by Shi Yantian’s attitude.
Could it be that this guy had challenged the Dao Ancestor for the second time and was beaten into submission?
Shi Yantian turned into a streak of light and left. His voice still echoed in the sky.
“Supreme Kunlun, your Supreme Dao has great potential. I hope I can hear your reputation in the boundless world one day.”
Hearing this, the Supreme Kunlun revealed a smile and muttered to himself,
“When I reach the Zenith Heaven Realm, I will fulfill your wish.”
Shi Yantian’s departure represented the end of the Martial Dao calamity. Those experts from the inner void realized that they were powerless to reverse the situation, so they left one after another.
Right now, there were only two forces competing in the 3,000 worlds. Both of them came from the Immortal Dao, and they were competing to be the orthodox path.
Every clan in the 3000 worlds had begun to take sides. The Celestial Emperor and the Dark Emperor both had the bloodline of the Dao Ancestor. From this point of view, both of them had the same advantage. The Immortal Dao of the Heavenly Court was stronger, but the strength of the Dark Emperor was almost invincible.
The Celestial Emperor and the Dark Emperor had fought many times, and the winner had always been the Dark Emperor. As a result, the odds of the Dark Imperial Court winning were increasing. The more this was the case, the more arrogant the people of the Dark Imperial Court were. Their actions caused the karma of the Dark Imperial Court to continuously increase. It seemed like their power was expanding, but the balance of victory in the great calamity was leaning towards the Heavenly Court.
In the boundless world, in front of the All Heavens Great Dao Tree.
Jiang Changsheng, who was sitting on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin, slowly opened his eyes. He sighed with emotion. “As expected of the boundless world. Comprehending the Dao here is ten times more effective than comprehending the Dao in the Endless Void.”
The growth of his strength value had begun to accelerate, and he was very satisfied with the speed.
After this seclusion, he was now over 260,000 years old, approaching 270,000 years old. This meant that he had spent nearly 110,000 years in the boundless world, breaking his longest seclusion record.
He could have continued with his seclusion, but the aura of a living being approached him.
At that moment, in the vast purple mist, there was a huge thing that looked like a gourd moving forward at high speed. On it stood two figures, a man and a woman. The man was wearing mighty divine armor while the woman was wearing a colorful long skirt. She was surrounded by multicolored light and looked extremely otherworldly.
“The spiritual energy of the Great Dao here is extremely dense. It seems like there is indeed a treasure here.”
The colorful-dressed woman softly said as her beautiful eyes swept around.
The armored man’s expression was solemn as he said, “Be careful. I keep feeling that there’s some ferocious beast hidden here.”
Soon, they saw the mighty figure of the All Heavens Great Dao Tree. Even though it was hidden in the purple mist, it seemed extremely oppressive. The armored man suddenly raised his hand and the huge gourd beneath his feet stopped.
The woman in colorful dress took out a ribbon from her sleeve. The surface of the ribbon was dotted with stars. As soon as it came out, she began to absorb the spiritual energy of the Great Dao on her own, forming a whirlwind visible to the naked eye around her.
“May I know which senior is here?”
The armored man spoke, and his voice echoed like a huge bell.
Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded, “Don’t be tainted by karma. Leave quickly.” Hearing this, the armored man frowned.
The colorful-dressed woman did not speak. Instead, she looked at him and allowed him to judge.
One could encounter ruthless characters anywhere in the boundless world. Even though they were attracted by the treasures here, they would not be rash.
The armored man thought for a moment and immediately raised his hand to salute. “I’m sorry to disturb you, senior!”
With that said, he controlled the huge gourd to leave at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Changsheng calculated their strength value. One of them had just reached 20,000 Heavenly Dao incense points, while the other was close to 30,000 Heavenly Dao incense points, which was pretty good.
He did not think much of it. These two were not the only ones who had passed by this void over the years. Those weak creatures did not dare to approach when they saw the purple mist.
What really attracted Jiang Changsheng was not the armored man or the colorful-dressed woman, but the guy who followed them.
He had a strength value of 80,000 Heavenly Dao incense points!
That guy had the highest strength value that Jiang Changsheng had ever come into contact with. This fellow had turned invisible and quietly followed those two people. No one knew what he was up to, but one thing was certain. This invisible existence carried an imperceptible killing intent.
Jiang Changsheng did not remind them. However, as they left, the invisible existence did not leave. Instead, he lurked in the purple mist and slowly approached the All Heavens Great Dao Tree.
Jiang Changsheng used his spiritual will to observe him. This guy looked like a beast on land. His body was like a tiger with three tails and a lion-like head.
There were four horns on his blood-colored mane and black scales on his back. His eyes revealed extreme greed.
He was getting closer and closer to the All Heavens Great Dao Tree, but he did not make a move, as if he was judging Jiang Changsheng’s strength.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and pretended to cultivate.
Several months passed before that guy finally attacked. He leaped up and his right claw descended with a destructive black wind. His target was Jiang Changsheng.
Boom—
The Primordial Chaos Divine Origin Qi attacked, sending the other party flying like a purple brush.
Jiang Changsheng opened his Eyes of the Great Dao.
Nine Levels of Blissful Hell!
The other party was instantly in a trance and froze in the air.
However, this guy was not defeated by the Nine Levels of Blissful Hell. In his will, there was a power of the Great Dao protecting him.
This made Jiang Changsheng think of the God of Misfortune and the God of Inner Demons who had integrated into the Heavenly Dao. The three were very similar, but this guy was stronger..
