Chapter 724: Taiqing Is Not Defeated!
The Primordial World was trembling.
It was not just the five continents. The Three Realms, the trichiliocosm, and even the edge of the Primordial World were unpredictable. The Great Dao was in turmoil, and all living beings were terrified. It was as if the world would be destroyed in the next moment.
There was a battle in the Purple Cloud Palace.
There were tens of thousands of Great Dao surging at the core of the world.
Mortals could not see the situation there, and immortals could not see the scene there. Even mighty figures like Daoist Duobao could only feel the Great Dao trembling.
The Yin-Yang Great Dao was resisting almost all the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
The Yin-Yang Great Dao was not only resisting, but it was also suppressing all Dao!
Dao begets One, One begets Two!
The meaning of Yin and Yang was second only to the existence!
In the five continents of the Primordial World, the world was turbid and spiritual energy surged. The clear and turbid seemed to be returning to one.
The four seas surged, and many living beings died.
In the Netherworld, countless ghosts cried. The light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc became very dim. The Reincarnation Immortal Island trembled violently.
In the Heavenly Courts, the Jade Emperor looked up at the top of the Lingxiao Hall. He frowned and looked helpless.
It still appeared. This battle could not be avoided.
In the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, the Grand Supreme Elder sighed slightly and continued to guard the Pill Furnace, waiting for the pills inside to be refined.
The green ox in the courtyard looked towards the sky. Its eyes were filled with worry as it paced around anxiously.
In Xuandu City, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned and looked at the figures standing behind him. He thought about his teacher’s voice transmission and wanted to rush back. However, he could only hold Kong Xuan’s hand tightly.
He could not move. His teacher had asked him to stay in Xuandu City and not return to the Primordial World.
What happened?
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was a little puzzled. However, he could only wait. He believed that his junior brother would give him a complete explanation.
In the Middle Continent.
Immortal mountains collapsed continuously. The land of the world surged like a tide. Endless spiritual energy turned into a violent wind, but the wind direction was unstable.
No one knew the exact situation.
No one knew what kind of battle had erupted in the Purple Cloud Palace!
“Teacher…”
Li Changshou clenched his fists and resisted the urge to rush towards the Purple Cloud Palace.
I can’t go. I can’t let all my efforts go to waste.
Daoist Jie Yin was currently approaching the immortals of Jie School. There were more than ten thousand streams of light flying over from the world, and they were still a distance away.
Daoist Duobao, who had just shouted at the Three Realms, stopped in his tracks and looked at the sky in confusion.
How?
What should they do specifically?
Learn from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and kill their way to the Purple Cloud Palace?
In the Fire Cloud Cave, figures gathered and waited for a jade token to shatter. However, the jade token remained motionless.
In fact, the spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Cave was also fading, as if it had been transferred to another location by the Heavenly Dao.
That was indeed the case. At that moment, the Dao Ancestor was gathering the spiritual energy of the Primordial World in an attempt to suppress the Grand Pure One!
Chaoge City!
“Changgeng… take them away…”
The Grandmaster of Heaven’s voice suddenly entered Li Changshou’s heart.
“I know you have a way to survive in the Chaos Sea. Bring them away. Take as many as you can. Teacher is now the Heavenly Dao and this world. In terms of fighting, he is not Eldest Senior Brother’s match. However, with the world behind him, Teacher can suppress Eldest Senior Brother’s Dao. Also, don’t blame your Second Uncle-Master. He has his own considerations…”
Li Changshou turned to look at the Grandmaster of Heaven.
The Grandmaster of Heaven’s eyes were filled with helplessness. He urged Li Changshou,
“Let’s go!”
“Senior Brother.” Li Changshou looked at Daoist Duobao. “Quickly bring Uncle-Master away!”
“Don’t care about me.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven raised his hand and pushed the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit and Qiong Xiao away. Golden light suddenly appeared on his hands and turned into shackles. Black chains extended into the void…
The immortals of Jie School were shocked and immediately walked forward.
They wanted to break the chains, but they realized that the chains were like illusions. Curses, talismans, divine weapons…
Yun Xiao even grabbed the Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Four Swords but could not cut its shadow.
The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “I can no longer leave this world. This is the price of losing to Teacher. However, don’t worry. My life is fine. Teacher can’t kill you.”
Li Changshou appeared in front of the Grandmaster of Heaven in a flash. He looked at the shackles on the Grandmaster of Heaven and pointed at them with a sullen expression.
That was the shackle that sealed the Great Dao.
The Grandmaster of Heaven gestured for Li Changshou to hold his arm.
Li Changshou raised his hand and supported him. The Grandmaster of Heaven’s voice immediately sounded in his heart.
“Don’t worry about me. Just leave. All of you who can leave, just leave. Once Eldest Senior Brother attacks, the three Dao Sects would completely fall out with Teacher. Teacher would definitely not show mercy. The Three Pure Ones share the same fate. Your Second Uncle-Master’s Great Dao is the Eternal Dao. It exists at the bottom of the Heavenly Dao and is the foundation Great Dao that forms the Heavenly Dao. As long as he does not attack Teacher and break his foundation, Teacher will not be able to touch him. If Teacher can’t touch him, he can’t touch me and Eldest Senior Brother. You might not be able to understand it for a while. I can’t explain it to you in detail. Teacher now has 98% of the Three Thousand Great Dao. Eldest Senior Brother’s Yin-Yang Nature Dao, Second Senior Brother’s Eternal Dao, and my Eternal Transformation Dao were all the foundation of the low-level Great Dao of the Heavenly Dao. However, they were all comprehended by Teacher using the Creation Jade Plate. If your Second Uncle-Master does not move, my and Eldest Senior Brother’s lives will not be in danger. Changgeng, help me take Yun Xiao and the others away. If Eldest Senior Brother can’t stop Teacher, they will be destroyed by the Heavenly Punishment in an instant.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He turned to look at the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning. The latter was closing his eyes and concentrating. His expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
The knot in his heart was suddenly untied.
Second Uncle-Master did not understand his trump card and his thoughts.
To be precise, in the Primordial World, no one, including the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, knew what they were going to do next.
Could it be that I should tell Second Uncle-Master that as long as he follow my plan, I will have a 70% chance of killing the Heavenly Dao in the end!?! As the foundation of the Three Pure Ones’ survival, Second Uncle-Master will bet everything to fight the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor.
That would be too childish.
The Three Pure Ones were one. They shared the same origin and fate. The Dao of Eternity did not break the destiny.
Although Li Changshou did not know about that previously, it was similar to the outcome of his deduction from different angles.
“At the Saint realm, the Dao is the Saint and the Saint is the Dao.”
The Great Dao of the Three Pure Ones was the lowest level of the Heavenly Dao. The importance of it was before the Great Dao of “the world needs variables”. If the Dao Ancestor wanted to kill the Three Pure Ones, the Heavenly Dao would collapse.
It was also because of that logic that Li Changshou found the path to breaking through.
It was good now. This was not bad.
It was equivalent to having a stable teacher and an additional insurance.
Li Changshou raised his finger again and tapped the chain in front of the Grandmaster of Heaven. Then, he closed his eyes and focused.
He saw it.
He saw a huge tree with lush leaves blooming in the void. The roots were planted in the Primordial World and completely enveloped it.
Among the roots, there were six extremely thick roots. The image of the Grandmaster of Heaven, the image of the G.o.ddess, and Daoist Zhun Ti were imprisoned in three roots.
The chains sealed the Grand Dao of the Grandmaster of Heaven and not his Saint body.
Li Changshou s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the tree trunk. Hong Jun’s figure was quietly sitting in the trunk, and there was a Creation Jade Disc in front of him.
At the crown of the tree, aren’t the leaves from the trichiliocosm?
The Heavenly Courts, mortals, the Middle Continent… There were countless phantoms.
The Great Dao was the roots with varying thickness. The tree crown was the world supported by these Great Dao. The hub from the Great Dao to the world was firmly occupied by the Dao Ancestor.
Li Changshou had already seen such a situation.
As if he had discovered Li Changshou’s spying, a rebound came from the chain and Li Changshou’s fingers were repelled.
Li Changshou and the Grandmaster of Heaven looked at each other. Thoughts raced in his heart, and he made a decision.
The original plan did not change. He tried his best to protect the immortals of Jie School.
When the Heavenly Dao attacked, although the Saint would not die, the disciples of the Saint could not resist at all.
Jie School had already openly rebelled. When the Dao Ancestor freed his hand, he will definitely be ruthless to the immortals of Jie School. If too many immortals of Jie School die, it will be an extremely huge blow to the Grandmaster of Heaven.
Li Changshou immediately said, “Senior Brother Duobao, bring them away first!
Mo, who had yet to come over, fled to the trichiliocosm.
Just as Uncle-Master said, how many can escape now!?! ”
The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “Changgeng’s words are my intention. Don’t delay!”
“This!”
Daoist Duobao looked indignant, but he could tell the severity of the matter. He immediately nodded and agreed.
Li Changshou pointed forward and was about to open the door.
However, the Daoist priest waved his sleeve and the universe was instantly sealed.
At that moment, Daoist Jie Yin was already at the same position as the immortals of Chan School. He looked at the immortals of Jie School coldly.
“Today, I will settle the matter regarding the spiritual mountain with you.”
“You guys leave. I’ll cover the rear.”
Li Changshou turned around and looked at Daoist Jie Yin. He opened his left hand and the slightly bent G.o.d-Slaying Spear appeared in his palm. Wisps of mysterious Dao runes floated around him.
Just as he was about to move forward, a slender hand grabbed the back of his hand. Yun Xiao took half a step forward.
“Together.”
“Alright.” Li Changshou agreed without hesitation. Daoist Duobao and the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit wanted to move forward, but they were stopped by the Grandmaster of Heaven’s gaze.
Duobao smiled bitterly and turned to look around. He used the same method as before to shout at the five continents.
The disciples of Jie School dodged and immediately left.
Just now, he had wanted to shout and clamor the Anti-Heaven. Now, he was fleeing in a sorry state. To Duobao, this was a little too depressing.
Duobao used his mystical abilities and dug a huge hole in the sealed universe in front of Jie Yin.
The disciples of Jie School were unwilling to abandon their master. They supported the Grandmaster of Heaven and entered the huge hole. They quickly retreated with Daoist Duobao…
Qiong Xiao said, “Brother-in-law! I’ll help you too!”
“Let’s go!”
Li Changshou said without turning his head, “Don’t let me and your sister be distracted. Bring Bi Xiao to the Xuandu City.”
Qiong Xiao held the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and stomped her feet. Her face was filled with anger, but she quickly turned around and flew towards the East Ocean.
Jie Yin advanced.
Li Changshou snorted coldly and pulled Yun Xiao behind him. He reminded her in a low voice and slowly walked forward to block the pressure of the Saint.
Fairy Yun Xiao waved her hand, and the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice emitted rays of light.
At that moment, the immortal of Chan School looked at the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.
Chi Jingzi said, “Please return my Eldest Senior Brother!”
Fairy Yun Xiao did not answer. She only looked at the immortals of Chan School quietly.
“Attack!”
Daoist Wen Shu shouted in a low voice and did not move.
The immortals of Chan School did not rush forward. However, a few of them could not help but take a few steps forward.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning was here. Wen Shu’s words were useless.
At this moment!
Dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above the South Continent. Bolts of divine lightning suddenly fell. Many immortals of Jie School who were flying in the world were killed by the lightning and fell into the sea.
The heavenly might descended!
“Are… are you done?”
Duobao asked in a daze and could not help but bite the tip of his tongue.
A Dao rune suddenly trembled in Li Changshou’s heart, and images appeared. Along with those images were the familiar words.
“Let’s go.”
Crack!
In the dark world, a purple-black divine lightning struck down like an azure dragon’s claw.
In the southeast direction, the hole that Daoist Duobao had dug collapsed. The disciples of Jie School suffered heavy casualties.
The world was in an uproar.
The turbulence in the world suddenly stopped. There was nothing unusual in the world.
However, the Heavenly Punishment became more and more intense. It was as if the sky was roaring angrily. Boundless spiritual energy turned into the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and chased after the immortals of Jie School!
Two streams of light, one black and one white, flew over and turned into the Taiji Painting that protected Li Changshou’s chest. Another precious flag that had been burned a little fell, but the Cosmic Ruler was gone.
Teacher… lost…
Although it was expected, it was still difficult to accept that something had happened.
Li Changshou instantly read the images and information. He could not help but clench his fists and pull Yun Xiao back. He raised his hand and pushed the Taiji Painting in front of Yun Xiao.
He stuffed another jade token into Yun Xiao’s hand and looked at her.
“Save him and go to Xuandu City. Wait for me.”
At that moment, tears flickered in Yun Xiao’s eyes, but she did not delay at all. She nodded slightly and turned around to rush towards the place where the lightning was flas.h.i.+ng.
Boom! Boom!
The heavenly might became stronger. A thin web appeared on the ground of the South Continent. Most of the mortals fell asleep.
The Daoist priest’s figure flashed and he rushed to the East Ocean.
Li Changshou’s figure soared into the sky. He held his spear and cut off the Saint’s momentum!
Layers of light walls appeared in the sky.
It was an arena drawn by the power of the Heavenly Dao. It surrounded Li Changshou and Daoist Jie Yin. Without any hesitation, the two of them turned into two streams of light and chased each other!
In Li Changshou’s heart, images of his teacher fighting with the Dao Ancestor kept flas.h.i.+ng. Anger surged in his heart, but it was suppressed by Kongming’s Dao heart.
He kept telling himself that these were all situations that he had expected. They were all necessary conditions for him to obtain victory in the end. He could only temporarily let his teacher and Uncle-Master suffer.
However, at this moment, he still could not help but want to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to cause trouble!
Calm down. There’s no point in being above. Remember the Steadiness Sutra!
He did not just represent himself.
Being expected by others was indeed the most tiring way to live.
Fight!
A giant phantom appeared behind Li Changshou. His figure was as fast as a stream of light, and his attacks were in full swing.
Saint Jie Yin formed a seal with both hands. He remained as still as a mountain and blocked Li Changshou’s attacks. A golden stream of light flew out from his back and chased after the disciples of Jie School.
The Welcoming Divine Banner!
The Divine Banner rotated and divine light spread out. Large batches of Jie School disciples were absorbed by the Divine Banner.
Transcendence!
The way the Western Sect transformed living beings was from the Great Dao of receiving them!
In contrast, Yun Xiao held the Taiji Painting and saved people everywhere. The jade token in her hand shone, causing the Endless Heavenly Punishment to retreat.
That was the “life-saving talisman” that the Dao Ancestor had given Li Changshou when he had lost for a while.
The immortals of Chan School looked at the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning’s back. However, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, “Just watch.”
The restless people lowered their heads and agreed. They did not say anything.
The Heavenly Punishment continued.
The aftershocks of the battle between Li Changshou and Saint Jie Yin had already caused the universe to twist and turn. Even the immortal senses of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals could not detect it.
Spirit Mountain, Lotus Pool.
A charming figure walked over quickly and looked at the colorful twelve-petaled lotus flower. She licked her lips gently with the tip of her tongue and floated down.
In the intense battle, Jie Yin’s expression changed!
He turned to look in the direction of the spiritual mountain and was about to break through the universe and rush back.
However, a black spear attacked from the side, forcing Jie Yin to retreat.
The corners of Li Changshou’s eyebrows twitched. He raised his hand and drew a seal. He took the initiative to add a layer of shackles to the universe.
“Li Changgeng!”
Jie Yin instantly understood the cause and effect. He glared at Li Changshou. “How dare you plot against me!?!”
“Same to you,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Fellow Daoist, it’s better for you to focus on fighting with me today. Don’t worry about other things.”
On the spiritual mountain, Daoist Wen Jing, who had sucked a few mouthfuls of the golden lotus, had already turned into a Blood Mosquito and hurriedly flew out of the world.
In the treasure pool, a golden lotus with only three petals was slowly withering.
The Golden Cicada’s coc.o.o.n hidden under the golden lotus was also tainted by the golden light…
Outside Chaoge City, in the distorted universe wrapped in the rich power of the Heavenly Dao, Li Changshou stopped them firmly.
Zhun Ti’s figure did not appear from the beginning to the end.
How could he appear now?
In Li Changshou’s heart, the battle between the Grand Pure One and the Dao Ancestor was playing out.
The Dao Ancestor sped up the flow of time in the battleground. They felt that only a moment had pa.s.sed. In fact, the battle had actually lasted for decades.
The Yin-Yang Great Dao suppressed everything and suppressed the three thousand Great Dao. The Taiji Painting crushed the endless Great Dao imprints.
The most eye-catching scene was when the battle ended.
Most of the Dao Ancestor’s burly figure had shattered, leaving only half of his face and half of his body. However, a ball of light that looked like a sun shone gently on his chest.
“Do it, Grand Pure One.”
I am this world. My life is the essence of this world!
Kill me and destroy this world!
The thin figure hesitated. The black and white rays in his eyes quickly disappeared, and his long hair and Daoist robe gradually fell.
At that moment of hesitation, the Dao Ancestor’s figure suddenly recovered. He pressed his palm against the thin old Daoist priest’s chest and turned the thin old Daoist priest into a stone statue without any effort.
The Great Dao was sealed.
The shadow of the fourth Saint appeared on the largest root of the tree that represented the Primordial World.
The Grand Pure One, the Great Dao of Nature Yin and Yang.
In the end…
Li Changshou sighed.
Teacher did not lose. He just could not find a way to deal with the Dao Ancestor.
The meaning of the images that his teacher had given him was not to explain anything to him. He was just telling Li Changshou…
He was not wrong.
