Chapter 688 Luo Dao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the calamity ended, the Heavenly Dao was reborn and the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm recovered its peace. More and more powerful people began to travel the heavens, preaching and giving alms, rebuilding the Immortal Dao Civilization in the wasteland.
Hundreds of thousands of years later, Jiang Changsheng finally succeeded in refining the Karma Pill. There were a total of three pills, and the bottle that contained the pill was specially refined by him to prevent the aura of karma from leaking out.
He kept the Karma Pills into his sleeve and stood up to look at the boundless world.
The boundless gray mist was already very far from the Immortal Dao Domain. There were no other experts lurking in the Immortal Dao Domain. He even used the incense calculation function and did not find any existence that could threaten him.
“Time to go back.”
Jiang Changsheng muttered to himself and walked towards the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin.
In an instant, his spiritual will covered the entire Immortal Dao. With his strength as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he moved the entire Immortal Dao back into the Immortal Dao Domain. At the same time, the invisible barrier that existed at the edge of the Immortal Dao disappeared. From now on, cultivators of the Immortal Dao could roam the boundless world again.
Other than Divine Lord Zhou Gua, no one noticed all of this. Even the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortals thought that it was caused by the calamity.
In the depths of Zhou Gua, Divine Lord Zhou Gua was amazed.
“Even Luo Dao cultivators could not detect the concealment of the Immortal Dao. The ability of the Dao Ancestor is unimaginable.”
Divine Lord Zhou Gua sat in his palace and muttered to himself.
The deduction ability of Luo Dao cultivators was so powerful that even Zhou Gua, an overlord orthodoxy ran wild in the boundless world, might not be able to beat them. When he saw the boundless gray fog previously, he already had the intention to escape. However, he wanted to see what the Dao Ancestor intended to do. Unexpectedly, the Dao Ancestor had successfully deceived those Luo Dao cultivators.
Staying in the deep space, he also felt the gaze of those Luo Dao cultivators. However, there was a mysterious force that even he could not see through that helped him isolate himself from all prying eyes.
Divine Lord Zhou Gua was hesitating about something. Should he pay a visit to the Dao Ancestor and talk to him about Luo Dao?
He felt that the Dao Ancestor did not know much about the boundless world, but the Dao Ancestor was far stronger than him. He was afraid that he would offend the Dao Ancestor by doing so.
After all, it was strange that such a powerful existence lacked understanding of the boundless world. He had a feeling that the Dao Ancestor was the embodiment of an ancient existence. It was impossible for the Dao Ancestor to be only more than seventeen million years old.
After thinking about it, Divine Lord Zhou Gua decided to pay a visit to the Dao Ancestor. After all, even though the Dao Ancestor’s Divine Power was beyond imagination, he was clearly apprehensive of Luo Dao.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng created an independent space and met with Divine Lord Zhou Gua alone.
He was still very satisfied with Divine Lord Zhou Gua. Speaking of which, the grudge between him and Divine Lord Zhou Gua stemmed from a Zhou Gua cultivator, and it was not led by Divine Lord Zhou Gua. Moreover, after coming to the Immortal Dao for so long, Divine Lord Zhou Gua had always been well-behaved. There was no major conflict between Zhou Gua and the Immortal Dao, and he was also favoring the plan of integrating with the Immortal Dao. This meant that Divine Lord Zhou Gua was sincere in joining the Immortal Dao.
However, Divine Lord Zhou Gua was not his believer, so he could not hear his thoughts.
It was impossible for an existence like Divine Lord Zhou Gua to have a deep faith in someone else. He would only believe in himself.
“Dao Ancestor, I am here to talk about Luo Dao,” Divine Lord Zhou Gua whispered. He had already organized his words in his heart. What he had to do now was to observe the other party’s expression.
However, the Dao Ancestor’s face was covered by the divine light and he could not see his expression.
Jiang Changsheng’s posture as he sat on the throne was somewhat lazy. The more he acted like this, the more pressured Divine Lord Zhou Gua was.
“Luo Dao? Tell me about it,” Jiang Changsheng replied. His tone was indifferent without the slightest emotion.
He muttered in his heart.
What kind of orthodoxy was Luo Dao?
Or was it a person?
He secretly calculated, but he could not calculate Luo Dao at all, just like the boundless gray fog before.
Divine Lord Zhou Gua said, “Luo Dao is an overlord orthodoxy in the depths of the boundless world. They have existed for an unknown period of time and are extremely ancient. They possess many powers of the Great Dao, including karma, so we can’t calculate their whereabouts. I believe they passed by the Immortal Dao Domain because of Miracle.”
It turned out that the force in the boundless gray fog was Luo Dao!
Jiang Changsheng could not help but become serious as he continued to listen to Divine Lord Zhou Gua’s explanation.
According to Divine Lord Zhou Gua, Miracle was another overlord orthodoxy that had a deep grudge against Luo Dao. In the distant ancient era, Miracle defeated Luo Dao, causing the latter to be in a slump for a long time. Now that Luo Dao had swept across the void, they must be looking for Miracle to take revenge.
Miracle was once a terrifying orthodoxy that stood at the peak of the boundless world. According to Divine Lord Zhou Gua, orthodoxies like Zhou Gua had once served as Miracle. However, a hundred million years ago, there was an internal strife in Miracle. Even though the orthodoxy did not collapse, less than ten percent of its strength remained. After that, Miracle was sealed and hidden in the darkness.
“Legend has it that Miraclers are naturally favored by the Great Dao, and their cultivation talent is peerless. They are the top talents in the boundless world. Looking at all the orthodoxies in the world, no one can compare to them. Most importantly, devouring Miraclers can increase one’s comprehension of the Great Dao. A single drop of blood from a Miraclers can transform a mortal into a top talent…”
Speaking of Miracle, a look of yearning appeared on Divine Lord Zhou Gua’s face.
Jiang Changsheng could not tell if he was envious of the strength of the Miracle or drooling over the flesh and blood of its people.
For such a powerful orthodoxy to have internal strife, it was really hard to predict the human heart.
Jiang Changsheng thought of his Immortal Dao. Some conflicts had already begun to take shape, so he could only hand it over to the next calamity to resolve.
Just like that, Divine Lord Zhou Gua continued to speak while Jiang Changsheng listened attentively.
After a long time.
After Divine Lord Zhou Gua finished explaining Miracle, he paused for a moment and said, “Luo Dao has already passed through this area. I don’t know how many years it will take for them to go to Miracle. Regardless of victory or defeat, they will certainly be occupied for a long time. You don’t have to worry too much about their return. Moreover, the boundless world has unpredictable rules. If they want to return to their land, they don’t necessarily have to go back the way they came. With the current development speed of the Immortal Dao, I think we can seize the time. Instead of hiding, it’s better to strengthen ourselves quickly. I know some secret realms and ruins of ancient orthodoxies. Are you willing to excavate them together?”
His tone was sincere, and Jiang Changsheng also felt that it made sense.
If Luo Dao really wanted to target the Immortal Dao, he could not always use the Great Heaven Stealing Technique to avoid them. In that case, he would toy himself to death sooner or later.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Discuss this with the Celestial Emperor and the Three Saints.”
Divine Lord Zhou Gua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to ask the Dao Ancestor to personally take action as long as he agreed.
The secret realms and ruins of those ancient orthodoxies were rife with danger. He was afraid that making decisions on his own would arouse the suspicion of the Immortal Dao, as if he was plotting against them.
He did not dare to disturb him again and stood up to leave.
After walking out of the Purple Cloud Palace, he could not help but laugh at himself.
He was thinking too much. How could the Dao Ancestor not know Luo Dao?
During his narration, the Dao Ancestor rarely spoke and never expressed his dissatisfaction.
Perhaps it was as the cultivators of the Immortal Dao thought. The Dao Ancestor’s heart was only on the Dao and did not care about face or emotions. He would only appear when the Immortal Dao was in danger.
Before he left, he looked back at the Purple Cloud Palace.
This palace at the peak of the Immortal Dao was so lonely, as if it was not affected by time. Just like the Dao Ancestor, it stood at the peak of all beings and faced everything indifferently.
Divine Lord Zhou Gua felt that he also had to have a heart for Dao. He could take care of Zhou Gua, but he could not let Zhou Gua disturb his Dao heart.
He suddenly felt that the strength of the Immortal Dao was not in terms of combat strength, but in terms of cultivation of the heart.
A hundred thousand years was like a dream for mighty cultivators, but for the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm that had lost all its karma, it was a fresh start. The self-healing ability of the Heavenly Dao after its rebirth far exceeded the past. Every hundred thousand years, the vitality of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm would increase.
In the 800,000th year after the karma dissipated, the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm had recovered its prosperity before the calamity, and the overall strength of the immortal cultivators was higher than before the calamity.
Right now, the number of people in the Zenith Heaven Realm had reached two thousand. It could be said to have increased explosively. The status of Zenith Heaven Immortals was no longer as good as before, and everyone had started to pursue the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
The Zenith Heaven cultivators were also discussing the Dao and had recovered their previous culture of cultivation.
Jiang Yi, Jiang Hongchen, the Demon Sovereign, Di Jue, Shi Yan, and other existences that shone brilliantly in the calamity had also become the symbol of powerful strength in myths, especially Jiang Yi. He suppressed the calamity alone and made his reputation spread far and wide, even surpassing the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao!
The second person in the Immortal Dao!
At the end of the calamity, Jiang Yi had indeed suppressed the Three Saints alone. Even though the Three Saints had the last laugh, the younger generation believed that in terms of personal strength, the Dark Emperor, Jiang Yi, was definitely the strongest expert below the Dao Ancestor!
This was even recognized by other orthodoxies nearby.
After the calamity ended, Jiang Yi obtained a huge amount of merit and had been in seclusion in the Heavenly Court. The same was true of the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao. They were all fighting to be the first to reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.
Everyone wanted to be the first to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Time passed. Gradually, Mu Lingluo, Bai Qi, and White Dragon returned to the Purple Cloud Palace and began their own cultivation, not going out again.
It was not only them. Most of the Zenith Heaven cultivators and Immortal Emperors were the same. They no longer fought for power and wanted to increase their cultivation.
The huge Starry Sky Gates established by the Heavenly Court at the edge of the Immortal Dao Domain had also begun to resume operations. When the news that the Immortal Dao had survived the calamity spread, the orthodoxies in other domains became nervous and sent spies to investigate the current strength of the Immortal Dao.
Countless golden nebulas of different sizes floated in the purple void, all of them spectacular and beautiful.
Above a nebula that was similar to a huge palm, the Celestial Venerable half-knelt on the ground. A figure sat on a cloud pillar in front of him, shining with light.
“Your path to the peak has been defeated just like that?”
A dignified voice sounded with a trace of dissatisfaction.
The Celestial Venerable lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “Master, I am incompetent, but I am indeed not the Dao Ancestor’s opponent. In the boundless world, experts are as numerous as the clouds. Perhaps I am really not qualified. I am willing to start all over again.”
“Start all over again? It’s too late! The peak of the Great Dao is not something you can choose just because you want to. I can’t help you. Your failure is destined that you can only reach the current realm!”
The high and mighty figure shouted angrily. His voice was like thunder that resounded through the purple void.
The Celestial Venerable’s expression changed drastically. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he did not raise his head to refute.
