Grandpa, times have changed.

late at night.

Bie Xuening and Chen Huan had already left, and Xu Xing returned to the hall alone, sitting upright in the center of the dojo, with a light screen projected in front of him.

“Once the Star Ancestor Palace is completed and Junior Sister Chenhuan has adapted to her post-Dao attainment state, I will gradually divide a portion of the ‘Heavenly Will’ that she has been suppressing.”

Although nominally each sect is responsible for sealing off a portion of 'divine will'.

However, apart from the portion originally allocated to Xu Xing, the rest of this 'part' was distributed equally based on the number of True Immortals in each sect.

Except for the time when Xu Xing and others fell out of the Tai Xuan Realm, the weight of the 'Heavenly Will' sealed by the True Immortals of each sect was exactly equal in every other moment.

The existence of the Immortal Sect is merely a 'node' that blocks the will of Heaven.

on the screen.

Ning Ruo did not wear a white coat as usual, but changed into a simple white long dress, with a guqin in front of her.

It looks less capable and more detached and otherworldly.

"So that's how it is, she still chose this path..."

As things stand, the emergence of a new True Immortal among the human race will not have a significant impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, the choices are not many.

The first method, like that of the Demon Ancestor, is to seal off a portion of the will of Heaven, thus relieving pressure on other True Immortals.

The second type is like Min, You, and Kui, who assist in defense on the front lines of the starry sky.

The final, third option is to assist Xu Xing in maintaining the Tai Xuan Immortal Network while advancing the 'Ascension Plan'.

“Once she has fully adapted and taken on the portion of ‘divine will’ that I have divided up, you will no longer be trapped in one place like you are now.”

Back when the Tai Xuan Realm only had six major immortal sects, they could hardly spare any attention and had almost no spare energy.

It wasn't until later, when Meizu became the founder of the Hehuan Sect and took on a portion of the 'divine will,' that they had the spare capacity to pay attention to the outside world.

Once the mortal realm takes on a portion of the responsibility, they will naturally be able to break free from the restrictions and won't have to remain confined within the sect as they are now.

"..."

Ning Ruo gently plucked the strings, and amidst a few crisp notes, she whispered.

“We can indeed be unrestricted, but what about her… wouldn’t she be trapped in the Sword Sect for a thousand years?”

A thousand years is both the era in which the 'Law of Stars' flourishes and the time for the Star Ancestor to solidify his principles and understand the path he holds.

It would be fine if it weren't restricted by external factors.

If one could personally suppress 'Heaven's Will'...

It is absolutely impossible for them to leave the Sword Sect.

“I talked to her about it, and she was aware of all the consequences of this choice.”

Now that things have come to this point, they must bear the responsibilities they should bear.

These are Chen Huan's original words.

"In that case, wouldn't the matter between her and Fellow Daoist Hongzun not be resolved until a thousand years later?"

"That's not necessarily true," Xu Xing said with a smile. "Since Junior Sister Chen Huan has taken a portion of the Heavenly Will, Fellow Daoist Hong Zun will no longer be restricted, and he can come to the Sword Sect then."

From the moment he attained immortality in the mortal realm, Xu Xing had been looking forward to the day when the two of them would meet and reconcile.

After all, Hongzun's other Daoist partners were only at the Tongxuan and Dongzhen levels, but suddenly a True Immortal named Chenhuan appeared, and a True Immortal with a very strong personality at that.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Huan had always followed Xu Xing and Bie Xue Ning's arrangements.

That's because she regarded the two of them as her senior brothers and sisters, but when faced with Hongzun and his Daoist partners...

You should know that among all of Hong Zun's children, only Hong Qianqian got along relatively well with Chen Huan!
Gee!

It's really interesting to think about.

Just as Xu Xing was about to say something, a sudden flutter of emotion stirred within him.

Ok? !

At his current level, he would never act on a whim without a reason.

Seeing Xu Xing's sudden change in expression, Ning Ruo realized that something might have happened.

"what happened?"

"Something is wrong..."

Xu Xing frowned, following the source of that tremor, his mind gradually extending from the present world to the 'past'. The tremor in his heart grew stronger.

past?

Could it be the ancient Tai Xuan Tian?
The moment he realized this, a wisp of his mind transcended the barrier of time, following the sword mark left in the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven, and descended into the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven.

Call ~
The endless purple aura filling the sky surged and slowly parted to both sides.

Before the Temple of Time, beside Xuan stood a figure indistinguishable from any other member of the Cang Clan, with exquisitely perfect features and indifferent seven-colored eyes—

day!
……

……

Before the temple of time.

Tian Yao gazed at the wisp of will that appeared out of nowhere in the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven.

It is magnificent and upright, yet hidden in the smallest details, and encompasses boundless space.

The purest sword intent can sever and cut off everything; its vastness cannot be contained by heaven and earth, and its weight cannot be borne by any path.

The progenitor of the sword path throughout all the heavens and myriad realms!

The indifferent, multicolored eyes finally showed a change.

"Sword Ancestor?" Tian asked in a deep voice.

“Hmm.” Xuan also gazed at the high sky of the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven. “Do you see that? That’s the Dao trace left by the Sword Ancestor.”

Dao mark?

Only after Xuan's reminder did He discover that a line of red light was imprinted on the sky above the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven, stretching across both ends of the heavens and earth.

“In an accident, the Sword Ancestor seized the opportunity to solidify the uniqueness of the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven.” Xuan continued to explain, “The past is no longer safe, and ‘Building the Heavenly Gate’ is now the only hope.”

"..."

Tian remained silent for a long time.

"Since defeat is inevitable, why not let me seize the essence of an enlightened being?"

He bewitched the way.

"At the very least, the human race won't fare any better."

"Heh, so what if you actually give it up?" Xuan's tone was unusually disdainful.

The source of the Dao...

The closer you get, the more you realize how unattainable that level is.

Originally, He thought that if Heaven obtained the essence of an enlightened being, He would be able to skip the two steps of attaining the Dao and upholding the Dao, and leap to prove the 'Source of the Dao'.

But as He went further and further away, the Sword Ancestor got closer and closer to that boundary, and He also got closer and closer to that boundary...

The Dao Source stage is not something that can be achieved simply by Tian Jian seizing the essence of an enlightened being.

The next moment, Xuan seemed to suddenly realize something.

He raised his hand and wiped it away.

The vast purple aura that had been sealing off the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven instantly returned and dissipated.

The once pristine blue sky gradually darkened, the stars lit up one after another, and the 'sun' hanging in the sky transformed into a dim golden outline.

"This is……"

Sensing the flow of the present world toward the 'past', the unique Dao essence belonging to the newly enlightened.

The Tai Xuan Realm Star Ancestor, having reached the pinnacle of star enlightenment, spent 10,798 years in seclusion before attaining immortality and ascending to heaven.

Lord of all the stars in the heavens, Supreme Being of the Evening Elephant of all realms!

Tian's expression froze.

Then, that exquisite, flawless face suddenly became distorted.

One chance!
A rare opportunity!

We just missed it!

"Angry?" Xuan seemed to appreciate it, looking at His face contorted with rage, his tone calm. "But from the day the Sword Ancestor attained enlightenment, you no longer had a chance." (End of Chapter)
