Chapter 671 Zenith Heaven Karma, Blessing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bai Qi only used a thousand years to prepare a dojo for Jiang Changsheng. It was located on the highest peak of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. This place originally belonged to a Zenith Heaven Immortal, but when he heard that the Dao Ancestor was coming to preach the Dao, he immediately cooperated without any complaints.
After Bai Qi was done with her preparations, Jiang Changsheng’s voice resounded throughout the world.
“I am the Dao Ancestor. 3000 years later, I will preach the Dao on Heaven Peak. All beings can come and listen!”
The voice was simple, but it was filled with weight as it resounded in everyone’s ears.
Be it the Zenith Heaven Immortals above the nine heavens or the mortals in the mortal world, all of them put down what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
There were also mortals in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, but their spiritual qi and blood qi were stronger than their counterparts in the Taiyi Immortal Realm.
3000 years was enough time for the immortal cultivators to take care of their work and prepare for the sermon.
Many mighty figures came out of seclusion and discussed with their good friends and seniors, wanting to obtain information about this sermon. The Three Saints of the Immortal Dao had all become the disciples of the Dao Ancestor, which was something that the Zenith Heaven Immortals of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm could not forget.
When they heard that the Dao Ancestor was going to preach the Dao, the first thing they thought of was…
If they were chosen by the Dao Ancestor, they would definitely become the next Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal!
Even the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao had come out of seclusion one after another to figure out Jiang Changsheng’s intentions for preaching the Dao. Moreover, this sermon was not held in the Purple Cloud Palace, so they had no choice but to think about it.
The Heavenly Court was also shocked. More and more ancient immortals came out of seclusion. Even the Celestial Emperor appeared and began to select good seedlings in the Heavenly Court. At that time, he would bring the chosen Immortal Gods to sit in the front row and be closer to the Dao Ancestor.
In the vast land, cities were dotted on the surface. Looking from the sky, they were like a cosmic array that contained endless Dao runes.
In the most majestic city, huge demon beasts guarded the surroundings. Countless demon soldiers shrouded most of the streets like dark clouds, and they were on high alert.
In a hall, transformed demons gathered.
The leader was the Demon Sovereign. He wore a golden-furred robe and had a domineering aura. Two wisps of demonic aura formed horns on his head. As the demonic aura twisted, it revealed an evil aura.
The Demon Sovereign looked down at all the powerful demons in the hall. His indifferent eyes revealed arrogance. He slowly said, “The Dao Ancestor is about to preach the Dao. Are we going or not?”
An old sheep demon stepped forward and said, “Of course we have to go. Moreover, we all have to go. We can’t miss this opportunity.”
Many demons agreed with his words, but the Demon Sovereign hesitated.
“The Dao Ancestor’s sermon is definitely different from other sermons. However, the duration of his sermon is hard to grasp. If it goes on for too long, I’m afraid it will not be beneficial to our plans.”
That was what he was most worried about.
After reaching the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm, his confidence had swelled. He felt that he did not need to listen to the sermon. Even if he was not the Dao Ancestor’s disciple, he had already reached the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm by himself. Therefore, he felt that he did not need anyone’s help.
In fact, there were also such comments circulating in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. They all felt that the Demon Sovereign was the only existence that had relied on himself to reach the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. This allowed his prestige in the Demon Race to reach an unprecedented level.
One of the demonesses said in a gentle voice, “Your Majesty, you worry too much. Not long from now, those guys will send a request for a truce. Who doesn’t want the opportunity to get close to the Dao Ancestor? Your Majesty, you are in Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. You might not care, but we all do. So do those demon kings and demon saints.”
The demons echoed in agreement. They were also afraid that the Demon Sovereign would not let them go.
In the Demon Race, the Dao Ancestor also had an irreplaceable status.
The Demon Sovereign had brought them power, but the Dao Ancestor was the supreme existence that led them on the path of cultivation. Even if they did not gain anything, it would be great to meet the Dao Ancestor.
The Demon Sovereign glanced at all the demons and understood their intentions.
He was somewhat unhappy. It seemed like the prestige of the Dao Ancestor was still higher than him in the hearts of the demons.
After he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had also received the Dao Ancestor’s favor in the Mental Wander Realm. Naturally, he was grateful to the Dao Ancestor, but his gratefulness did not mean controlling him. If he wanted to control the entire Demon Race, he did not wish for other existences to surpass him in their hearts.
Even if he was unhappy, he could not hate the Dao Ancestor. He was thinking about how to surpass the Dao Ancestor, at least in the hearts of the demons.
An hour later.
All the demons retreated, leaving only an old sheep demon behind. Only this old sheep demon maintained his original appearance as a sheep. He held the feather fan in his hand and seemed to be extremely shrewd.
“Your Majesty, you have to put down your pride and work hard for the sake of the Demon Race during the Dao Ancestor’s sermon.” The old sheep demon sighed.
The Demon Sovereign frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Could it be that the Dao Ancestor wants to interfere in the affairs of the Demon Race?”
He thought of the Saint Mother of Fortune. Could it be that she had complained?
The old sheep demon shook his head and said, “The Dao Ancestor will naturally not care about the Demon Race. No matter how strong the Demon Race is, they are nothing compared to the entire Immortal Dao. However, if you obtain the Dao Ancestor’s recognition, you will obtain the recognition of all beings and will no longer be limited to the Demon Race. The great ambition we are pursuing is extremely difficult. For this goal, we need the goodwill of the Zenith Heaven Immortals.”
Even though the Demon Sovereign was in the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm, he did not integrate into the Zenith Heaven circle of the Immortal Dao. In fact, he felt vaguely ostracized.
When the Demon Sovereign heard that, his frown deepened.
No matter how conceited he was, he understood what the old sheep demon meant.
He was not strong enough to stand against all the Zenith Heaven Immortals.
At that moment, not only were the demons discussing the Dao Ancestor’s sermon, but there were also other clans. Among them, the Jiang Clan was the most hesitant.
Even though they were the descendants of the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor was equally distant to them. It was precisely because they were descendants of the Dao Ancestor that they were even more nervous. They wanted to get close to him, but they were afraid that he would be dissatisfied.
With that in mind, 3000 years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Heaven Peak was created by a Zenith Heaven Immortal. Originally, it was not the peak of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, but that Zenith Heaven Immortal always wanted to leave something behind, so this Zenith Heaven Immortal created this peak.
The mountain range where the Heaven Peak was located stretched for billions of miles. It was huge and abundant in resources, breeding countless treasures and strange beasts. Due to the protection of the Zenith Heaven Immortal, this place was like a paradise on earth.
At that moment, there were countless beings rushing to Heaven Peak. There were even many Dao seekers who kowtowed every three steps to express their determination to the Dao Ancestor.
When the mighty figures arrived, they fell from the sky one after another and stopped flying, fearing that they would be rude in front of the Dao Ancestor.
Even though it was not as exaggerated as the scene in the Mental Wander Realm, there were so many beings around the peak that it could be described as an ocean.
There were even beings who had been waiting here 3000 years ago. When the Dao Ancestor announced his intention to give a sermon, more than ten thousand cultivators had rushed here, and there was no lack of Zenith Heaven Immortals.
Zenith Heaven Immortals were high and mighty, but it also depended on who they were facing. Some Zenith Heaven Immortals wanted to please the Dao Ancestor and break through to the seemingly impossible Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
At this moment.
Above Heaven Peak, there was a Dao Platform. It occupied an area of hundreds of miles and there were nearly ten thousand futons placed there. There was a staircase that reached the sky in front of them and above it was a high platform. There was no futon because that was the position of the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor had his own throne.
Bai Qi and Daoist Heaven Peak were discussing the seating arrangement of the sermon.
“How many people will the Zenith Heaven Immortals bring? It’s not easy to calculate. If there aren’t enough seats, will it cause unhappiness?” Daoist Heaven Peak hesitated.
Among the Zenith Heaven Immortals, he was considered to have a gentle temper and never caused trouble. He did not have many good friends, but he did not have many enemies. Therefore, he did not wish to invoke ire because of this.
Bai Qi waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I arranged it. They will not blame you. Besides, if there are more seats, wouldn’t that offend the Dao Ancestor? Not anyone can meet the Dao Ancestor, right?”
Daoist Heaven peak smiled and said, “Who dares to blame you, Saint Mother of Fortune? We are all relying on your guidance.”
Even though those words were an exaggeration, it was partly true. Every Zenith Heaven Immortal had obtained the blessing of the Saint Mother of Fortune, so no one would hate her.
Take the Demon Sovereign for example. Even though he had a conflict with the Saint Mother of Fortune, he had never hated her. Every time the Saint Mother of Fortune looked for him, he would still treat her politely.
“Do you want to set up a separate position for the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao?” The Daoist Heaven Peak suddenly thought of something and asked.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, “The Dao Ancestor preaches the Dao to all beings and cannot be too biased to individual existences. He only allowed the Zenith Heaven Immortals to come here to let all beings know the status of Zenith Heaven Immortals and lead them to pursue the goal of reaching the Zenith Heaven Realm.”
Just as she spoke, she suddenly felt something and turned around.
She raised her eyebrows when she saw two figures fighting on the horizon. She could not help but frown and ask, “Why are they fighting? It’s really unbecoming!”
Daoist Heaven Peak said helplessly, “Immortal Beidou raised a demon pet. When he went out to discuss the Dao, the demon pet accidentally knocked over the cauldron he used for alchemy. The flames in the cauldron sprinkled onto the world and burned thousands of miles of land. Countless living beings died, but there was one person who survived and used this calamity to form the Red Flame Divine Body. He was the Redflame Great Sage who is fighting with Immortal Beidou.”
“The Red Flame Great Sage became a Zenith Heaven Immortal 100,000 years ago. He must have endured for a long time.”
Immortal Beidou had established a dojo in the sky, and his Beidou Sect was also an extremely powerful sect in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
In terms of real strength, the Immortal Beidou could be ranked in the top three among Zenith Heaven Immortals!
Bai Qi shook her head and said, “There are more and more such karma.”
The careless actions of Zenith Heaven Immortals could easily bring about a calamity to the common people. As more and more Zenith Heaven Immortals appeared, there would always be children of providence born to face the calamity. There were also several similar cases like the karma between the Immortal Beidou and the Red Flame Great Sage.
With the greatest amount of merit, Bai Qi could see that there was the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Unknowingly, the Heavenly Dao was favoring the living beings harmed by Zenith Heaven Immortals. This act seemed benevolent, but it had also planted the seed of a calamity.
When Daoist Heaven Peak heard this, he did not dare to continue, fearing that he would violate a taboo. After all, the Dao Ancestor could descend at any time.
Gradually, the first batch of Zenith Heaven Immortals arrived on foot.
Kunlun Dao, Dao Lord Nirvana, and the Supreme Kunlun had brought along the peerless prodigies from the seven branches of the Dao Sect. As the personal disciple of the Dao Ancestor, Kunlun Dao naturally did not dare to show off and had to be the first to arrive.
Daoist Heaven Peak hurriedly bowed. Most Zenith Heaven Immortals in the Dao Sect were his seniors, so they deserved his bow.
“You don’t have to be so polite. Fellow Daoist Heaven Peak, you have to grasp this blessing well.”
Dao Lord Nirvana chuckled, but his words caused waves in Daoist Heaven Peak’s heart.
Blessing?
