Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 233 Heavenly Sect's Submission (Part Two)

"The unity of the three religions..."

Bingyi Yuanjun felt the familiar yet otherworldly aura emanating from Liming and could hardly believe her eyes.

The cultivation methods of the three schools of Heaven, Earth, and Man are all based on the original Taoist school and seem to complement each other.

However... they also have great benefits for each other.

Since ancient times, she had never heard of anyone who could cultivate the techniques of the three religions at the same time.

This is absolutely outrageous.

The old Taoist priest, wearing a lotus crown and seated serenely on a lotus platform, had deep eyes and spoke softly in a voice only he could hear.

"How is this possible..."

As the current leader of the Heavenly Venerable Daoist sect, he is well aware of many of the secrets of the three sects.

Therefore, he naturally knew that the other two major Daoist sects were both founded by Daoist Venerable.

Throughout history, the Daoist sect has produced many outstanding talents, but only Dao Zun was able to cultivate all three Daoist methods simultaneously using the method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones".

Even he wouldn't be an option.

The person in front of us is even more outrageous.

The Daoist master will then use the method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" to cultivate three different systems using three different bodies.

The boy before them, with just his body, had mastered the techniques of the three religions in an instant.

This is an extremely terrifying thing.

Never before has such a terrifying figure been born in this world, not even a top-tier one!

"This is……"

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest snapped back to his senses.

He then realized that his emotions were as cold as ice that had remained unbroken and unwavering for hundreds of years.

It was at this moment that he was swayed by the person in front of him!
He was originally like a boulder that kept sliding into the abyss.

However, this trend was pulled back a bit by an inexplicable force.

"Help me in my cultivation..."

In an instant, it seemed as if chains of divine laws swept across the old Taoist's eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood what Li Ming had said earlier about helping him cultivate.

What exactly does that mean?

It wasn't the dawn that shocked him, that shook his almost nonexistent humanity.

In fact, at his level of cultivation, even the destruction of the world by a super-grade resurrection and the imminent sinking of the Nine Provinces could hardly disturb his emotions.

He would only say one thing: What does it have to do with me?

But the mysterious aura emanating from the depths of Li Ming's body, standing before him, slowed down this process.

This feeling is similar to that of the emperors and generals of the Nine Provinces, who were born with great destiny whenever the world was in chaos.

However, if you look into it more closely, things are different...

Even someone as knowledgeable as him couldn't explain this difference.

“Luck…that’s it, luck!”

The old man wearing the lotus crown suddenly understood, but then hesitation returned to his face.

“Strange, those who are blessed with great fortune cannot live forever, so why do I see a long line of life on you?”

Whether it was the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou, or the founding emperor of the current dynasty, the Great Feng.

It carries great fortune, and when it rises, its fortune collides and merges with the laws of heaven and earth, presenting a fierce and exhilarating display.

Amidst this dramatic change, their martial arts cultivation was aided by divine intervention, and almost all of them stepped into the realm of first-grade martial artists.

Then... he watched as his extraordinary, godlike power withered away under the erosion of time, just like that of an ordinary person.

Those with great fortune cannot live forever; this is an ironclad rule!
This is a shackle engraved deep within the Heavenly Dao, used to bind all living beings in the world.

This rule was discovered by that Daoist master through practice countless years ago.

Even a powerful Dao Venerable could not break this ironclad rule. Although this young man was exceptionally strong, how could he compare to a Dao Venerable?

but……

"Who are you anyway?"

The Celestial Venerable's eyes flashed with intense light. He stepped out of the lotus platform, and the entire space inside the hall seemed to freeze.

The moment he took that step, time seemed to stand still.

Inside the main hall, all the third-rank Daoists, including the Ice Lord, froze in place, as if time had stood still in their senses.

They were unaware that the Celestial Venerable was conversing with Dawn at that moment.

"I... am of course the Human Emperor!"

Li Ming's face was pale blue, and he was not afraid of the Daoist's terrifying pressure.

But seeing the old Taoist's burning thirst for knowledge, he suddenly had a thought.
“I… was born in an era of transition between ancient emperors and great emperors. You… can also call me emperor, the First Emperor!”

Yes, if one day he is able to use his Way of the Human Emperor to suppress all other paths and achieve the ultimate Way.

Standing on the timeline of the vast universe, he could be the last ancient emperor of the Primordial Era, or the first emperor of the Desolate Era!

Since that's the case, he called himself the First Emperor!
"The First Emperor... there is no such person in the ancient history of this land."

Sensing the sincerity in Li Ming's tone, Dao Zun, though puzzled, slowly sat back down on the lotus platform.

Words can lie, but the heart cannot deceive.

The half-true, half-false words of the dawn's claim of being the reincarnation of the Human Emperor could fool others, but not him.

The Taoist sect is the oldest sect among humankind, without exception!

Even the ancient witch clan, whose strongest witch god attained enlightenment only after the Dao Venerable.

And the Heavenly Sect... is the oldest of the three most widely spread Daoist sects today!
Both the Earth Sect and the Human Sect were born after the Heaven Sect.

Therefore, this generation's Celestial Venerable knows a great deal about the secrets of this world and the human race.

Even the King of Ten Thousand Demons, a descendant of the highest bloodline, knew less about ancient history than he did.

"What if it were... beyond heaven and earth?"

Li Ming remained calm and made no attempt to hide his expression.

He could sense that the two of them were within this barrier, and even the Heavenly Dao in the darkness could not detect their conversation.

"The outer heavens... I see."

An unnatural expression finally appeared on the old Taoist's wooden face.

Although he was very clear that once he reached the level of a first-grade terrestrial immortal, he had already reached the end of this system.

Taking another step forward means completely merging into the Heavenly Dao.

But... as the Celestial Venerable of this generation, he was once a chosen one of heaven, and he also had thoughts of transcending heaven and earth, which were buried deep in his heart.

But this... is ultimately extremely difficult.

Even if that Dao Venerable is as powerful as he is, so what?

He stepped into the Transcendent Realm twice and personally deduced many systems, all for... nothing less than to one day transcend the heavens and earth and see the scenery beyond the sky.
He still fell on the path of transcendence.

What he didn't know was that the Celestial Venerable had not truly perished, but had instead ventured alone into the Western Regions to further develop a more complete and perfect Buddhist and Taoist system!
And even use this opportunity to... step into the Super Grade again!
And now, this being from beyond the heavens stood alive before him. Thinking of the countless predecessors who had fallen on the path of seeking enlightenment, a myriad of thoughts surged through his mind, ultimately culminating in a sigh.
"Since you have been able to step into this place, you must come from a higher level of heaven and earth. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Of course... it's for the sake of seeking the Dao."

As dawn touched the heavens and earth with his fingers, strands of the essence of heaven and earth that had been dormant in the void gathered together and transformed into a page of gold paper in front of the old Taoist.

Since the other party was so generous, he naturally couldn't hold back anything either.

For beings who have reached the first rank and are already able to isolate themselves from the world, their initial understanding of the Heaven-Covering Technique will not be noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

Of course... he already had a strong intuition.

When he simultaneously elevates both systems of this world to the first-grade level, that will be the moment when he truly combines the accumulated knowledge of both worlds.

At that time, he had already imprinted enough of the laws of this world onto his body.

They are already considered the purest indigenous people.

At the same time... it was also the opportunity for him to spread the Heaven-Covering Technique in this world.

At that time, even if the Heavenly Dao of this world is extremely perceptive, it will only regard it as a native of this realm.

When he is transmitting the Dharma, he may not be the quickest to react.

He had, after all, witnessed the passage of time and the changing of the world.

The moment of hesitation will be the time for Dawn to gather the power of humanity across the Nine Provinces, rise completely, and replace the Heavenly Dao of this world with the Heaven-Covering Technique!

"Seeking the Way..."

The Celestial Venerable nodded slightly, not belittling himself because Dawn came from a higher-order world.

As his thoughts raced, he picked up the page of gold paper in front of him.
"The Daoist scriptures..."

When his gaze fell upon the two Dao patterns—which he clearly did not recognize, yet whose meaning he could immediately discern, as if they were manifestations of the Great Dao.

boom!
In the blink of an eye, he realized that his countless years of cultivation had been so shallow and ignorant.

Each Dao pattern, seemingly a manifestation of the Great Dao, resembled a sky full of dazzling stars. Each Dao pattern was both extremely large and extremely small.

Then, his centuries of cultivation converged at this moment, heading towards his original dantian, three inches below his navel.

Wow!

The roar of the river, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
As his will sank, landing at the source of the howling sound, he witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life.

A vast and boundless blue sea of ​​suffering fell from the depths of the void.

Where the vast ocean seems to be the source of his life, there is a volcano that connects heaven and earth, spewing forth.

What erupts from the volcano is not scorching magma, but a mysterious power of extremely high level, which is called divine power in the Tao Te Ching!
"This is……"

"This is your ocean of samadhi! Above it is the ocean of suffering, and below it is the wheel of life. When the ocean of suffering and the wheel of life overlap, that is the ocean of samadhi!"

Li Ming said with his hands behind his back.

"Humanity! Humanity! Humanity!"

The last trace of doubt in the Celestial Venerable's heart was finally dispelled, and a carefree smile appeared on his face.

After a portion of his cultivation was melted away and transformed into this terrifying secret realm.

He was somewhat shocked to discover that his soul and body, which were increasingly approaching the Dao of Heaven, had actually contracted considerably during this process.

According to the Daoist scripture in his possession, above the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, there are also the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm...

Even the Sendai Secret Realm!
Does this mean that as long as I transform all my cultivation into these few secret realms?

Then one can completely break free from the assimilation of the Heavenly Way.

Thinking of this, the old Taoist's eyes twitched wildly, and he trembled uncontrollably. He was even somewhat excited.

He hadn't experienced this long-lost human feeling for so many years.

Amidst a multitude of thoughts swirling within him, the old Taoist suddenly raised his head and gazed intently at the dawn.

"I do not know, my friend, what path do you seek?"

Who was this old Taoist priest? Although he spent the latter half of his life troubled by the will of Heaven.

But he knew better than anyone how precious the Taoist teachings that Li Ming imparted were, even though he had offered up the complete classics of the three schools of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

But even that cannot compare to the weight of this scroll of the Daoist scriptures in my hand.

This volume of the Daoist scripture is merely the "Sea of ​​Wheels" volume.

Subsequently, each secret realm corresponds to a scroll of scripture.

He is a believer in equivalent exchange.

Such a treasure would come at a great cost if he wanted to obtain it.

But he couldn't figure out Li Ming's true purpose.

What if Dawn were to destroy the world like the ancient gods and demons?
Although he was calm and collected, he couldn't bring himself to trade the safety of an entire realm for the cultivation technique.

Li Ming guessed the old Taoist's thoughts, his eyes burning as brightly as the sun.
"The path I seek is the path of the Human Emperor, the domineering path by which humanity rules over all races, the kingly path by which humanity governs heaven and earth!"

"good!"

The old Taoist priest's serious expression instantly softened.

He... is naturally a human!
Whoosh!

A stream of air, filled with the rich energy of heaven and earth, suddenly flowed from the solidified void, ruffling Li Ming's black hair and stirring the white beard under the old Taoist's chin.

The whispers of the young Taoists reached her ears again, and Bingyi Yuanjun's clear eyes slowly fell on Li Ming.

The old Taoist priest's heavy, iron-like gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and he said calmly,

"Issue my order: starting tomorrow, the entire Heavenly Sect shall relocate to the Southern Frontier."

"move?"

Bingyi Yuanjun looked puzzled.

The earliest location of this Heavenly Sect can be traced back to the time when the first Daoist Master was in power.

It is a place where the essence of heaven and earth gathers within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Even ordinary mortals can gain immense benefits from staying here for a day.

It's a given that it strengthens the body and prolongs life.

How can we just give up such a precious place?
Moreover, this place is also the final resting place of countless ancestors of the Heavenly Sect who never attained enlightenment...

Whether in practical terms or otherwise, this place is extremely precious to the people of Tianzong.

How can we just give up like this?

But the moment her somewhat confused gaze met the indifferent eyes of the Celestial Venerable.

She already understood in her heart that the Heavenly Venerable had made up his mind and no one could persuade him otherwise!

"What exactly did they talk about in that instant? It caused such a drastic change in the usually indifferent Heavenly Venerable, who remained unmoved even when the pillar of heaven collapsed before him."

Bingyi Yuanjun was puzzled, but she knew that the source of the Heavenly Venerable's misfortune was none other than Dawn.

With her cultivation level of a third-grade Yang God, she was naturally able to sense that just a moment ago, her senses and those of everyone else in the hall had been obscured by a powerful means.

After everyone had dispersed, the Celestial Venerable raised his eyes and said,

"Young friend, is it feasible for me to use the power of my entire sect to help you gather the fortune of the world?"
