Chapter 868 The Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord slays the Evil Dragon

The Chaotic Sea? The Dao Lotus World?

A nomadic, wandering people who live by following water and grass?
In that fleeting moment, accompanied by Su Yuan's words, the confusion that arose in Yue Hanzhang's mind surged as the amount of information increased.

But before Yue Hanzhang could ask any more questions...

It seemed she noticed the change in his expression, the twitching of his eyebrows.

Having already sworn an oath to the laws of the Great Dao, Su Yuan spoke directly, beginning to recount the secrets from the very source.

"They say there's always something beyond the heavens..."

"The largest world in this world, truly vast and boundless, is not an exaggeration, but truly the vast and boundless universe described in the literal sense, and is called the Chaos Sea."

"The secrets of the more ancient and wild times are now lost to history."

"According to the ancient books and records I have been able to access, since the beginning of written records, the Chaos Sea has been divided into three thousand great worlds, and from these three thousand great worlds, the supreme pure and spiritual immortal realm was raised."

"This is the constant structure and status of the chaotic sea and its heavens and earth."

"However... King Lingye should know that in the so-called great world, all things in heaven and earth undergo natural cycles of change."

"It's like the withering and flourishing of plants, like the rise and fall of living beings."

"Even the vast universe has its natural cycle of birth and death."

"Destruction is not its end; on the contrary, the end of destruction is the rebirth of this world!"

"In that despairing end of the Dharma era, when all paths in that realm withered and decayed, among the countless cultivators, there were always exceptionally talented individuals who truly embodied the essence of an entire realm and an entire era—"

"In the final demise, one proves the Way while simultaneously refining the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind amidst ultimate destruction."

"These three thousand great worlds are perpetually in this state of constant birth and death."

"This is the norm in the entire Chaos Sea."

"However, since this is the norm, there will inevitably be unexpected events and variables outside of it."

"Such unexpected events and variables have disrupted the cycle of birth and death that this vast world should have in its predetermined place."

"Then, a truly new and vast world will replace it in its original position and structure!"

"And the original Great Thousand World will inevitably wither away completely. Then the weak origin of the world will no longer be able to suppress the chaotic tide. Instead, it will be pushed along by the chaotic tide and banished to the desolate edge of the chaotic sea."

"Such a desolate world, as long as it is not completely broken down during the process of exile, and is not completely unable to maintain the structure of heaven and earth, and is dismembered in the process of being exiled."

"So when it is stranded on the desolate shore of the Chaos Sea, it can still maintain its own existence and extinction by relying on inertia."

"However, due to unexpected disruptions and the inevitably harsher environment of the Chaotic Seashore."

"This cycle of birth and death is no longer the constant cycle of prosperity and decline of the past."

"It's a vicious cycle!"

"Each time the world is born and dies, it makes this world less and less suitable for cultivation. The laws and spiritual energy of the world become more and more degraded, until after several cycles, it becomes a world devoid of spirit."

"When time stretches out long enough, this kind of variable has shaped countless withered worlds on the edge of the chaotic sea."

"Therefore, there are three thousand great worlds in the world, and also boundless desolate lands!"

"Those born into this vast world are fortunate, for a brilliant and wonderful world of Taoist magic unfolds before you, where you can freely pursue your dreams. And at the end of each of those thoroughfares lies the eternally carefree and supremely pure and ethereal immortal realm."

"Those born in the world of the dead are lucky. Because of the world's isolation and ignorance, they do not need to feel any regret or struggle. A hundred years pass in the blink of an eye, yet they can enjoy a carefree and wonderful life."

"Only those beings born into a decaying world that is still trapped in a vicious cycle are truly tragic and desperate."

"Those unbroken traditions and ancient texts will tell you what an endlessly wonderful world the Chaos Sea is, but the bleak reality will tell you that that wonderful world does not belong to you at all!"

"Or, be trapped in that increasingly desolate world, with the path of cultivation coming to an abrupt end at the world's upper limit, and spend the rest of your life in endless regret of not being able to reach it, becoming the last swan song of the immortal path in that world."

"Either you have to have the courage to take the leap."

"But once you step out of the world where you were born and made your living, you will face the most rugged and difficult path!"

"You can't go to this vast world."

"Without attaining the ultimate Dao fruit and becoming an immortal, one simply cannot withstand the surging tides and turbulent currents at the center of the Chaos Sea. A single wave is enough to annihilate countless beings and billions of creatures."

"Even those with the right karma may be fortunate enough to enter that magnificent world."

"You are also one of the most out of place among them."

"Because the vast world already has all the perfect and harmonious laws and methods, there are no gaps between the interwoven net of laws and methods."

"Their path to immortality is wide open, but it is also extremely exclusive."

"And you, born in a desolate world, have already been imprinted in your very being by the traces of the withered, even incomplete, myriad laws of that desolate world during the very process of your birth and life."

"The path others are born onto is one you'll never see, even in death!"

"Your only choice is to become a wandering, lonely ghost on the desolate shores of Chaos!"

"Following the spiritual essence and energy scattered in those less dangerous chaotic currents, we search for those withered worlds that are also stranded in the desolate borderlands."

"Because both are worlds where all paths and laws are relatively desolate, the barriers between different paths are not so deep, and many resources for cultivation in that world can be used by oneself."

"If you are lucky enough, those resources may even be able to make up for the lack of your own Taoist magic compared to the comprehensiveness and harmony of the great world, because of the different desolate world in which you were born."

"Therefore, while maintaining the energy consumed in cultivation, one can even replenish the accumulated merits and advance to the next level..."

"finally."

"Either they fall silently on this aimless pursuit and wandering."

"Either enough luck and opportunity accumulate to forge a path of ascension for you that leads directly from the desolate frontier to the supreme, pure immortal realm, and a supreme Dao fruit that has been reforged and perfected with all the myriad laws!"

"This is what it means to be a wandering cultivator." "Of course, the hardships one experiences traveling alone, wandering the desolate shores of the Chaos Sea, are beyond imagination. Death is commonplace, and to be able to forge an unparalleled Dao Fruit is a miracle that is rare among billions of beings."

"Thus, the importance of mutual cooperation and collaboration is highlighted."

"Among these, rather than groups of two or three like-minded individuals, the truly optimal solution is for cultivators from the same decaying world to 'jump ship' as a whole before this world completely becomes devoid of spirits!"

"Then, carrying the last vestiges of the Daoist teachings of this withering world, they will become a nomadic, wandering race on the desolate edge of the chaotic sea, where everyone can work together as one!"

"The Dao Lotus World is such a desolate world located on the edge of the Chaos Sea."

"Before the creation and destruction of countless worlds, it was once the Dao Lotus Great Thousand World, which supported the supreme and pure immortal realm!"

"But variables caused it to wither, leaving it stranded on the desolate shore of chaos, and then it went through several eras of birth and death in a vicious cycle."

"When we are born into that era, following the traditions passed down from the ancient Dao Lotus Great Thousand World that still exists between heaven and earth, we will have sufficient reason to judge—"

"When the next era of creation and destruction arrives, the Dao of the Dao Lotus World will decline even further, and may no longer be able to support the resources and opportunities for those who can break free from the shackles of heaven and earth and become wandering cultivators."

"That era was our last chance to leap into the void."

"So, we exhausted the last remaining cultivation resources of the Dao Lotus World, like draining a pond to catch all the fish, and smelted them into more than a hundred Dao Lotus flying saucers."

"When the world is reborn and destroyed again, the Dao Lotus World will directly become the World of Annihilation!"

"And so we embarked on a nomadic and wandering journey on the desolate shores of the Chaotic Sea."

"of course."

"It is precisely because we made the 'rational' choice to mobilize the entire world while we still had the capacity that we were able to compete for some 'more lucrative' gains than the resources for cultivation itself while living by the water and grass."

"An even more fantastic harvest..."

"Just like the Dao Lotus World where we once resided, which has fallen from the central Great Thousand World to a desolate wasteland."

"Variables always exist in the cycle of birth and death of heaven and earth."

"The cycle of birth and death after becoming a withering world, or even a world devoid of spirits, is not eternal. There are also supreme opportunities and creations called 'variables' existing in this desolate wasteland by the Chaos Sea."

"These unexpected variables, these unforeseen and supreme opportunities for immortality, can instantly activate the myriad laws and origins of a world, and can turn decay into magic in a world that has already lost its spirit."

"Then the faded world suddenly bursts forth with abundant potential to become vibrant and colorful again."

"Such a world either possesses the foundation to return to the Great Thousand World in the current era, or it will initiate a virtuous cycle in subsequent cycles of birth and death, accumulating the foundation of the Great Thousand World anew."

"Then, the existence of this realm itself will, at some point in time, become a 'variable' in the cycle of birth and death of a certain great world."

"Thus, the old world was dethroned and exiled to the desolate shores of chaos in decay."

"The newly transformed world has returned to its position at the center of the chaotic sea, replacing the original structure and status."

“And every place, no matter how desolate it is now, has evolved from a vast world in the past.”

"And it is precisely because of this that, once reborn, if there is no external interference, the restored Great Thousand World, depending on the length of time it has been withered in the desolate borderlands, will be as high as 90% and as low as 70%, resembling the Great Thousand World of the past!"

"For a nomadic race like ours, a world with such potential is the most unparalleled opportunity for immortality in the desolate wasteland on the edge of the Chaos Sea!"

"Once we discover such a world, once we can silently invade it..."

"By simply providing some subtle guidance during the process of re-releasing the original potential of such a world, we can significantly alter the direction and pattern of the evolution of all the myriad laws within it."

"Finally, when such a world, under our subtle guidance, completely recreates the essence of the Great Thousand World, it will no longer possess the original appearance of the Great Thousand World."

"And after being reshaped, it will present the spiritual charm of heaven and earth that should have existed in the Dao Lotus Great Thousand World in the past!"

"That will be a vast world that best suits our nomadic and wandering people!"

"That magnificent path to immortality will be perfectly tailor-made for us!"

"At that time, it will not be just one or two people who are lucky enough to seize the supreme Dao fruit, but our entire clan will completely regain its glory!"

"It was with this kind of 'ambition' that we began our wandering on the desolate shores of Chaos."

"The resources I acquired when I left the Dao Lotus World were gradually depleted during my wanderings, and the endless hardships took the lives of many of my fellow clansmen."

"Countless years have passed."

"Of the more than one hundred Dao Lotus flying saucers that left the Dao Lotus World in the past, only nineteen remain in the end."

"When the ambitions of the past, and the aspirations when leaving the world of Dao Lotus, have been almost completely worn away."

"Such an extraordinary opportunity has unexpectedly arrived—"

"We discovered a world devoid of spirits and were preparing to quietly stop at the edge of this desolate world for a short rest, to avoid the chaotic waves, and to carry out some repairs on our flying saucer."

"An unexpected battle between immortals suddenly appeared before us as the chaotic tide surged and tore apart!"

"The unbroken lineage of the Dao Lotus World allowed us to instantly identify the identity of one of the immortals within it."

"That is the bloodline of the Lingfu Daluo True Immortal and Hunyuan Heavenly Venerable, who has been living in the Supreme Pure Spirit Immortal Realm since almost the beginning of ancient history!"

"This immortal's birth mother was the first patriarch of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect, whose immortal title was Qinghe Hunyuan Tianzun."

"The Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect is a vast immortal sect that spans more than one Great Thousand World!"

"This immortal was personally taught and instructed by three generations of Heavenly Venerables of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect from the moment he was born."

"The attainment of the Dao also occurred in the most ancient times. Therefore, as soon as he mastered the supreme Dao fruit, he adopted the name of his sect and was known as the Immortal Lord of a Hundred Flowers, to show that he had fully mastered the wonderful methods of the Immortal Sect."

"What we witnessed with our own eyes was the immortal battle in which the Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord chased after a ferocious beast, a monstrous dragon, born from the Chaos Sea, and finally annihilated the monstrous dragon with the Hundred Flowers Sword Formation!"

"And it was from that moment on that whale fall that all things came to life..."
