This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 494 Blind as a passenger on a tram, deaf as a sleeping husband
The giant sword soared into the sky, tearing through the gloom of the underworld and plunging into the depths of the endless dark firmament.

Dark cracks exploded in the void, mottled and chaotic.

Xiang Yuan had no idea how to trace back to the Thirty-Six Heavens from the Netherworld, or which path to take. He didn't even know what Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master were doing.

But at this critical juncture, keeping yourself busy is definitely the right thing to do.

With a single strike, heaven and earth became a sword, containing supreme will. The chaotic ripples behind the void continued unabated, unable to subside for a long time, and the spatial barrier shattered inch by inch like a mirror.

not enough!
Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master joined forces several times, each attack being earth-shattering. Their sword momentum was continuous like a tide, severing the heavens and breaking the Dao, rendering all laws empty, and splitting the spatial barrier of the Netherworld with bottomless cracks.

Even so, that thick barrier still stood firm, as if the will of the entire Netherworld, no, as if the weight of the thirty-six heavens was condensed within it, and no matter how powerful you were, you could not shake it in the slightest.

There was no reason to fire a shot at the source, only to catch the last sliver of health.

It's impossible for him to be left with only a fraction of his blood. With the Three Realms just beginning to appear, the Qianyuan Realm is at a critical juncture of dimensional ascension, and its spatial structure is stabilizing at a visible speed. In the process of reshaping the order of the Three Realms, the originally fragile spatial barriers have now been strengthened by the origin of the Heavenly Dao, and even the void has been sealed layer by layer, forming a state that is almost unbreakable.

Relying on sheer numbers to deal damage is definitely not going to work.

After the Qianyuan Realm was upgraded, its spatial barrier possessed an extremely strong self-repairing ability. Any attack below a certain threshold could not cause irreversible actual damage.

Only by achieving a breakthrough in quality and delivering a powerful blow that can tear apart the laws and shatter the order can we truly shake this barrier of the Netherworld that stands in our way!

Does the Qianyuan Realm possess such power?
Some guys, some.

Within Xiang Yuan's body, his small world contains the principles of the Heavenly Dao!
Su Ran Sword Master's eyes sharpened. He stepped forward to Xiang Yuan's side, his small hand enveloping the large one, his primordial spirit merging with Xiang Yuan's, intending to combine the two small worlds and guide Xiang Yuan to unleash this supreme attack.

"Sword Master, what are you doing?"

Xiang Yuan was so frightened that his scalp tingled. He shook his head and distanced himself from the situation. Bai Wuyan was still standing there. She was here first. She wasn't as arrogant as you were in front of her... Oh, Bai Wuyan is used to it.

This example is not suitable; let's find another one.

Shang Qingmeng is still watching from below. She arrived first, and you didn't do it in front of her like this... Oh, Fairy Shang is used to it.

This example is also not suitable; let's find another one.

Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er are still watching from below. They arrived first, and you're not as arrogant as you are in front of them!

Right this time!

"Stop joking around. This isn't the time to talk about this. As a man, you need to have at least some basic responsibility."

With a serious expression, Sword Master Su Ran said, "We have long been engaged in dual cultivation of our primordial spirits and have also studied the methods of the small world together. It is most appropriate for me to assist you. If you feel it is not appropriate, you can hold my hand as well."

Xiang Yuan: Stop pretending. It's not a matter of shaking hands. You're clearly just trying to make me laugh!

Su Ran Sword Master: Yes.

The cultivation of both primordial spirit and divine essence is a fait accompli; the Sword Master Su Ran has long been dead. Rather than making meaningless struggles, it's better to find joy in hardship and maximize happiness.

Bai Wuyan is undoubtedly the greatest source of amusement. She teases the old hag from time to time, making her furious. Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud.

Then there are Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er. Su Ran Sword Master isn't familiar with these two, and considering himself a senior expert, it's unlikely he'd find amusement in them. But from another perspective, provoking Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er, his two original wives, would definitely bring trouble to Xiang Yuan—hey, that's where the fun begins!
Finally, there's Shang Qingmeng...

Uh, this is no laughing matter; even the Sword Master Su Ran avoids it.

It's not a big problem. Nothing is perfect. There are always good and bad things in life. It's impossible to have all the benefits. You have to pay a price for happiness.

Su Ran Sword Master has been paying this price all along, and she is well aware that Xiang Yuan has always treated this matter as a source of amusement.

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Now that you've had your fun, it's my turn to have some fun!

What are you waiting for? Come over and hold my little hand!

If this drags on any longer, the Heavenly Court will become Zhang Tianyang's territory.

Su Ran Sword Master, feeling confident and fearless, stood there acting coy and shy. Then, as if she had thought of something, she cried out and covered her face, saying that it was too embarrassing to talk in front of so many people.

In an instant, the little slut's aura spread out, and the soaring tea fragrance could be seen from hundreds of miles away.

Bah, you lowly servant! x4
As Su Ran Sword Master had predicted, Xiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then agreed. He stepped forward, took the clean, white hand in his hand, closed his eyes, and actively merged his primordial spirit with Su Ran Sword Master's, together unfolding a small world.

The two primordial spirits converged and resonated with each other, and the two small worlds merged into one in an instant. There was no obscurity or difficulty in understanding, because they had practiced the technique frequently and could easily achieve a harmonious integration.

The convergence of Yin and Yang and the unification of the Five Elements represent a qualitative leap, not a simple addition.

The two clasped hands slowly rose and then suddenly pushed forward.

boom! !

A sword beam that pierced the heavens and the earth suddenly burst forth, its shape like a dragon and its momentum like thunder. It carried the combined power of two worlds, tore through the void, and rushed straight towards the black rift that had not yet healed.

One second ago, the sword light was like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the chaos.

The next second, where the sword light passed, all laws were extinguished, and the universe was reversed.

Between birth and death, the spatial barrier of the Netherworld shattered with a crack.

"go!"

Bai Wuyan charged in first, her expression displeased; she didn't want to see the horrible scene for even a second longer.

Xiang Yuan and Su Ran Sword Master followed closely behind, and three beams of light shot up in succession, leaping out of the Netherworld together.

Daoist Wangji groaned on the spot, not following. His injuries were too severe, and there was no point in following. To avoid being used as a shield by the evil forces of the Benxin Dao, he chose to lie down wherever he fell.

Soon, the Qingyang Sect Leader arrived with his sword, grabbed Wangji Daoist, and threw him into the crowd of prisoners.

Qingyang Sect Leader: Squat down properly, or I'll kill you.

Daoist Wangji: Isn't this Daoist Qingyang? It's me, Wangji. Don't you remember? We used to eat together!
Qingyang Sect Leader: You damned Original Heart Dao, dare to say another word!

At this moment, the Netherworld was completely silent. The prisoners were surrounded by a group of demons, along with Jinse's sixth incarnation, the Qingyang Sect Leader, and the Zhenwu Demon-Slaying Sword. They didn't dare to breathe loudly.

In the dark realm of the underworld, the pitch-black coffin seemed alive, breathing in and out the surrounding Yellow Springs' energy.

This avatar of the Corpse Queen Mother, also known as the Corpse Demon, did not interfere in anything according to the agreement with Zhang Tianyang, and also did not help either side according to the agreement with Xiang Yuan, quietly earning its original shares.

After this battle, regardless of who wins or loses, she will remain one of the major shareholders of Qianyuan Realm and an ally whom the Heavenly Emperor will turn a blind eye to.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Nantianmen!
A dark crack tore open, and Bai Wuyan took a step forward, her eyes looking towards the high sky. A white sun phantom rose around her, with a white phoenix spreading its wings inside. She leaped up, breaking through the thirty-six layers of heaven, until she finally stopped under the pressure of the thirty-fifth layer, Qingwei Heaven.

At this time, the Heavenly Sect had already undergone a complete transformation. The main peak, the Dao Inquiry Peak, was no longer visible, nor were the Twelve Dao Pavilions, and the Tai Xu Palace had long since disappeared.

The Heavenly Court was newly established, while the Heavenly Sect became a thing of the past.

The Qingwei Heaven is vast and boundless, and the Great Luo Heaven, which is closest to the origin of the Heavenly Dao, is not of the mortal world, nor is it a place that ordinary immortals and gods can set foot in.

Here, there is no alternation of the sun, moon, and stars, nor the changing of the four seasons. The concepts of time and space become blurred and illusory, and can change at any time due to the transformation of the laws of nature.

Sensing that an outsider had intruded and could potentially threaten the order of the Three Realms, Qingwei Heaven underwent a dramatic transformation amidst a roar.

Layer upon layer of clouds surged endlessly, like water and mist, yet carrying a tranquility and solemnity that transcended the mundane world. The entire Qingwei Heaven was like a giant lotus flower blooming in the void, suspended above the chaos.

The sky was boundless, displaying an almost transparent pale gold hue. In the distance, the chaotic and complex scene of the Great Luo Heaven could be vaguely seen.

The golden dome has no real sun or moon; countless points of light slowly drift around, evolving from the principles of Heaven into 365 constellations. These constellations are both the principles themselves and can be seen as divine positions, controlling the order of heaven and earth, or being the master of wind and thunder, or the judge of life and death, or the supreme being of the five elements.

The earth is solidified; stepping on it feels like walking on clouds, yet it is incredibly stable.

Similarly, mountains and rivers are not physical entities, but rather projections of the laws of heaven and earth. Mountains have spirits, water has souls, and every blade of grass and every tree is connected to the principles of heaven.

At this moment, Xiang Yuan and the others had also arrived. Gazing at this supreme realm, they knew that if they took another step, they could ascend to the top of all the heavens and go straight to the Great Luo Heaven.

This step is very difficult.

Zhang Tianyang stood high in the sky, his eyes gleaming with an unusual color, looking expressionlessly at the troublemakers below.

The reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, a person caught in the cycle of reincarnation, and the holder of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed...

The Corpse Demon did not intervene to stop the troublemaker. Although Zhang Tianyang was unhappy, there was nothing he could do. This was how it was originally agreed upon, and he could not find fault with it.

However, Bai Wuyan and Sword Master Su Ran's cultivation levels soared dramatically without warning. It was unclear whether it was premeditated or a sudden stroke of great fortune...

Then there's Xiang Yuan, whose progress is incredibly rapid, as if he's taken an elixir of immortality...

And that ancient mirror of reincarnation over there...

It's eerie in every way, with too many illogical points, almost like a coincidence.

Is it a scheme?
Who's plotting this?

Zhang Tianyang never imagined that this group of people could break through the barrier of the Netherworld, reach Qingwei Heaven, and face him, the Heavenly Emperor. The coincidence was too calculated, and a shadow fell over his heart, giving rise to a sense of foreboding.

He suppressed his alarm; those who aspire to great things will inevitably face numerous obstacles, and the closer they get to success, the greater the resistance becomes.

At this moment, there is no need to overthink. With absolute strength, we can crush all obstacles, dispel the dark clouds and see the rising sun, and then we will be free from all constraints.

We've come this far, there's no reason to give up on the last step!

Zhang Tianyang pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed in a deep, unwavering calm, his face devoid of any emotion.

He stood atop the Qingwei Heaven, overlooking all living beings. He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the sky. The heavens and earth trembled violently, and the sun, moon, and stars transformed accordingly. A pair of heterochromatic giant eyes silently opened. The heavens and earth hummed, and rosy light flowed. The entire Qingwei Heaven was filled with Zhang Tianyang's will, coming alive amidst the boiling sea of ​​clouds.

The Law of the Small World!
In an instant, everyone felt the surrounding space ripple like water, and invisible restrictions pressed down one after another. An incomparably terrifying pressure surged from all directions, squeezing their bodies so they could not move. Even their primordial spirits were suppressed so they could not move, their thoughts were slowed, and their consciousness was blurred, as if they had fallen into some kind of eternal stagnation.

Time seemed to slow down infinitely at that moment.

Every heartbeat, every breath, feels like a thousand years.

Buzz!
Another humming sound spread out, and new laws broke through the void, forcibly tearing apart the seal of Zhang Tianyang's small world.

Two interconnected microcosms quietly unfolded, using one world to fight another, and law to counter law, forcefully expelling the boundless pressure exerted by Zhang Tianyang.

Everyone felt a sudden sense of relief.

"I see……"

Zhang Tianyang frowned, his eyes flickering slightly. He roughly understood why everyone was able to break through the barrier of the Netherworld, and realized that even if he reassessed their cultivation, he still underestimated the 'opportunity' they had recently obtained.

"It's all just scheming. I've gotten to where I am today, so I'm not afraid of any so-called scheming."

Zhang Tianyang seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to someone else. His tone was very calm, without anger or surprise, only the absolute confidence of someone who was the Heavenly Emperor.

With another finger strike, his heterochromatic eyes reflected the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the rotation of stars, the appearance and disappearance of wind and thunder, and the return of all things to oneness.

Their eyes met, and the entire Thirty-Six Heavens seemed to respond to Zhang Tianyang.

This is not supernatural power, not magic, this is...

The Heavenly Way has descended!

A vast array of celestial laws emerged from the void, like billions of chains descending from the heavens, weaving into a net that enveloped the entire Qingwei Heaven, encompassing all concepts such as space, time, and causality.

The origin of the Heavenly Dao has descended!
Everything in the world is contained within it, and none can escape its bondage!

Whether it's Bai Wuyan, the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, or Su Ran, the Sword Master, a person in the cycle of reincarnation, or even Xiang Yuan, who possesses the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, they were all born in the Qianyuan Realm and have been bound by the Heavenly Dao of the Qianyuan Realm from the very beginning.

From the moment their first breath of primordial energy entered their bodies, their cultivation path unfolded within the legal system of the Qianyuan Realm. Every breakthrough, every realm, and every use of supernatural powers and spells was built upon the fundamental principles of the Qianyuan Realm.

Even though Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master have already achieved true immortality and forged their own paths, they are still unable to escape the karma of the Qianyuan Realm because the imprint of the Qianyuan Realm is too deep.

This is the way of Heaven, and also the destiny of Heaven!
The Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm has always existed, but it was sealed. Now that the Heavenly Court has returned and the order of the Three Realms has been initially established, the Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm has also officially revived.

As the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, Zhang Tianyang is the Heavenly Way and the Mandate of Heaven!

Don't complain that he was born into a privileged position, standing above all living beings from birth. On the contrary, the Heavenly Dao existed first, then the Heavenly Emperor. He himself is a primordial deity embodying the Heavenly Dao, and can only stand above all living beings.

The oppressive force suddenly descended, acting simultaneously on spatial, temporal, and causal levels, leaving Xiang Yuan and the others utterly powerless to resist...

Some guys, some.

They really do have the power to resist!
In Xiangyuan's small world, there are Heavenly Dao principles that do not belong to Qianyuan Realm. They come from the Heavenly God Realm and Shenxiao Realm, and have their own set of procedures, which are not controlled or influenced by the Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm.

Zhang Tianyang let out a soft exclamation, his expression changing drastically, unable to maintain his previous composure. This scheme was too elaborate, directly defying fate and rendering his greatest trump card ineffective.

A faint pain shot through my face, as if I heard a mocking laugh.

You're not the only Heavenly Emperor, so your destiny can be calculated... Oh, you're not the Heavenly Emperor yet.

The absence of laughter was purely due to Zhang Tianyang's apprehension and overthinking.

He snorted coldly, looking at his 'disciple' Xiang Yuan, his heart filled with murderous intent, wanting to eliminate this being who denied destiny as soon as possible.

Even more eager than him was the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Qianyuan Realm in the Great Luo Heaven. After fully awakening, it greedily gazed at this battlefield, yearning for more Heavenly Dao principles to strengthen itself.

Thus, this intense desire directly impacted Zhang Tianyang.

He took a step forward, and in his hand, an ancient yet overwhelmingly powerful imperial sword appeared—the Imperial Decree Sword, symbolizing divine mandate and the rule of law.

When the Emperor's Sword was drawn, the heavens and earth fell silent!
The entire Qingwei Heaven was shrouded in terrifying power of destiny, the wind and clouds reversed, the stars dimmed, and all things submitted to this sword.

Aside from the small world where Xiang Yuan and Su Ran Sword Master are united.

The Imperial Sword hung high, carrying the supreme destiny and the will of Heaven as it fell, like the sky crashing down, like the sun and moon perishing, its blade pointing directly at the small world that was connected to it.

This is the true sword of divine punishment, and also the first divine decree issued after the Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm awakened.

For Zhang Tianyang, this sword strike was to slay the rebels and uphold the established order; for the Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm, this sword strike was indispensable for strengthening itself.

However, the sword representing destiny struck the small world, and destiny failed once again.

The moment before, the Emperor's Sword cleaved down, tearing apart the small world, intending to incorporate everything within it into the origin of the Heavenly Dao, allowing no resistance or disobedience.

The next second, the yin-yang fish in the small world suddenly spun, the five-colored divine light surged, and the trajectories of the stars intersected and overlapped. At the moment of colliding with the Emperor Sword, the two heavenly laws collided fiercely. While the origin of the heavenly laws of the Qianyuan Realm took away part of the heavenly laws, it also lost part of the heavenly laws.

To be precise, Xiang Yuan, who had undergone seven blood transfusions and marrow cleansings and whose Heavenly Emperor Dao Seed within his body had been enhanced to an epic degree, copied a portion of the Heavenly Dao principles.

I want it! Let's trade!

The origin of Heaven fell silent. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the pretty boy possessed the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, meaning he was its own child.

There's been a misunderstanding. It's not that our child is disrespectful of fate; it's that he practiced his skills outside and brought other people's children back to supplement the family income.

There is no need for desire or greed; these principles of Heaven will eventually become part of the origin of Heaven. Therefore…

You two can fight it out; whoever wins will become the Heavenly Emperor.

The origin of Heavenly Dao returned with a bang, going back to the Great Luo Heaven. It neither helped the other, and kicked the silly couple's Ji Wuzhou, telling him to hurry up. As the hub of the Three Realms' order, this broken boat was a bit too lazy.

The difference between Heavenly Emperors is often greater than that between a human and a dog; some reincarnations of Heavenly Emperors are so shabby that even the Heavenly Dao itself finds them pathetic.

boom!
The sword light shattered, and the 'Imperial Decree Heavenly Sword,' representing the Mandate of Heaven, lost its divine light and transformed into an ordinary divine sword. Although it still had its merits, it had lost the Mandate of Heaven and was no longer attached to the absolute authority of all living beings. It could only be considered an ordinary divine weapon.

"How could this be so..."

The change came too fast, too suddenly, and too intensely, leaving Zhang Tianyang stunned and bewildered, his mind buzzing, completely unable to comprehend what had happened.

Why would Heaven abandon him?

Zhang Tianyang fell into a daze, muttering in confusion, "Because Ji Wuzhou is not dead yet, I am not the true... Heavenly Emperor?"

The change was too great for the emperor to accept, so he hurriedly searched for a reason that could convince him.

"Because there are cows here!"

Xiang Yuan shouted loudly. Although he didn't know what had happened, in this situation, the Heavenly Dao Origin, which was high in the Great Luo Heaven, was as blind as a passenger on a tram and as deaf as a sleeping husband. What else could it be but a cow?

While shouting to the distant future, he did not forget to join hands with Su Ran Sword Master to unleash a supreme sword strike. The two small worlds merged, and with the addition of some newly acquired Heavenly Dao Laws, their power reached a new level.

Bai Wuyan, Xiao Lingyue, Chan'er, and Shang Qingmeng also unleashed their strongest attacks, but in the face of the Sword of Heaven and Earth, their attacks were merely incidental additions.

Oh, it's not the Ancient Mirror of Reincarnation.

The law of reincarnation was too overpowered. Although it did not kill Zhang Tianyang with a single mirror, it still made him, like the extraterrestrial demons, instantly controlled and pinned to the spot, unable to move.

boom! !

The Qingwei Heaven trembled, as if the entire celestial realm had been torn apart by this attack.

A violent energy storm swept across all directions, the sea of ​​clouds churned, star trails shifted, and 365 stars dimmed or even went out. The Sword of Heaven and Earth erupted with dazzling light, roaring and surging through the void, illuminating the entire Thirty-Five Heavens.

As the intense light faded, Qingwei Heaven continued to tremble, the space cracking inch by inch, and countless fine cracks appearing in the void.

In the center of the battlefield, Zhang Tianyang stood alone, his robes torn, his body covered in blood, and the Emperor Sword in his hand no longer intact, its blade broken and only half remaining.

Without the blessing of destiny, this reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor is now just an ordinary cultivator with formidable power.

There is bleeding (×)

The health bar is showing (√)

Zhang Tianyang blocked the sword strike from the heavens and earth, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, still reeling from the shock of Tianming's departure.

In a life-or-death battle, there is no room for the slightest lapse in concentration.

Just because Zhang Tianyang and his wife stood still didn't mean that the others would stand still like fools. Especially since Xiang Yuan's side was never short of ruthless and vicious women, each one decisive and ruthless, and they never cared about chivalry when dealing with such evil and crooked people.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
The ancient mirror of reincarnation slowly tilted, its light locking onto Zhang Tianyang, causing his primordial spirit to tremble violently and trapping him in a closed loop of cause and effect, forcibly immobilizing him in place.

Another person has been added to the list of legendary control kings!
At the same time, Xiang Yuan slightly closed his eyes, and a vertical line slowly split open between his brows, from which a stream of chaotic light burst forth.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately unleashed his trump card.

Even the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor couldn't withstand it; a single blast of chaotic light severed his finger and forced him to change his name. Zhang Tianyang, not yet the Heavenly Emperor, had already lost his destiny...

The chaotic light coalesced, emanating a suffocating aura of destruction.

As Xiang Yuan swirled around him, the two small worlds merged once more, five-colored divine light swirled around him, yin-yang fish hovered beneath his feet, and the trajectories of stars rose and fell in his eyes. A dazzling sword of heaven and earth condensed, its blade made of chaotic light, and shot towards the immobile Zhang Tianyang.

"break!"
