My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 136 "The Chosen Daughter of Heaven!"

With his vast universe contained within a speck of dust, Bai Chijing took in the entire situation of the Yao Heaven and the human world in just a glance.

Everything, big or small, and all the changes within it, are now known.

However, it was precisely because everyone knew that Bai Chijing appeared so astonished.

The social order in the past, under the rule of Emperor Yao, was as follows:
The six great immortal sects are above all others, followed by the five great dynasties, and a host of other immortal sects that each have a lineage patriarch in the heavens. Although the mortal sword energy brought by the descending immortal sword created a large number of extraordinary and unruly human demons, they are still below the six great immortal sects.

These six immortal sects seem to be fixed in that position.

This is due to both the support of celestial beings and the sheer number of beings at the outer realms within these six major immortal sects. Ultimately, this is a world where great power resides within oneself.

Although formations exist, they are inanimate, and those who achieve immortality through the path of formation cultivation all come from the six major immortal sects.

There have never been any exceptions.

Logically speaking, let alone the past hundred years, even the past thousand years, the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) probably wouldn't have changed much. The only change would likely be the emergence of a few terrestrial immortals among the rogue cultivators.

After all, besides the demons in the mortal realm who obtained the worldly sword energy brought by the descending immortal sword, some rogue cultivators also obtained it.

The immortal sword is extraordinary, and its sword energy contains a legacy. If a rogue cultivator has decent talent, the probability of entering the ranks of immortals is quite high.

But now, Bai Chijing has discovered that the Yao Heaven and the human world have been unified...

Five dynasties merged into one!

The most incredible thing is that this unified dynasty was not a new force, but a restoration of the old dynasty!

Zhou Dynasty!

Five or six hundred years ago, among the five great dynasties of the Yao and Tian dynasties, there was no "Great Qi". However, because the "Great Zhou" that existed at the time acted recklessly and changed the exchange rate of the Zhou seal, the dynasty changed overnight, and the Qi dynasty replaced the Zhou dynasty.

As for the royal bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty, although it did not die out completely, not many were left, and most of them were barely surviving.

However, these remnants of the Zhou Dynasty, barely clinging to life, managed to not only regain their dynastic status in just a hundred years, but also completely eradicate the rest of the dynasties.

Besides the dramatic changes in the mortal dynasties, the power dynamics within the immortal sects have also shifted dramatically.

Although the six major immortal sects still exist, they have all retired and announced that they have submitted to a force called the "Immortal Heaven Alliance".

The reason why the "Immortal Alliance" was able to achieve such incredible success was entirely due to its leader, Yan Zhaotian!

He had cultivated for less than a hundred years, yet he had already attained immortality!

It was precisely because of Yan Zhaotian's true immortal power that the six immortal sects were suppressed, forcing them to bow down and submit.

Then, a rising star emerged among the rogue cultivators: Lu Zheyuan, a prodigy whose talent rivaled that of Yan Zhaotian! Although born into a mortal family, he too attained immortality in less than a century!
Relying on his true immortal power, he directly intimidated all those who disobeyed, gathered rogue cultivators and demons from the mortal realm, and established a major force—the Human Realm Palace.

The overall strength of the Human Realm Palace is naturally inferior to that of the Immortal Heaven Alliance.

However, Yan Zhaotian, the leader of the Immortal Heaven Alliance, and Lu Zheyuan, the master of the Human Realm Palace, are both True Immortals, making these two forces the most powerful forces in the world.

"Yan Zhaotian? Lu Zheyuan? Where did these two come from?"

Bai Chijing seemed to be lost in thought.

Because this is clearly abnormal. He has only been gone for a hundred years, and the world has become like this. What's the difference between this and seeing a ghost in broad daylight?
It has an eerie feel to it no matter how you look at it!

Therefore, the malevolent supreme being, deeply sensing the current eeriness of the Yao Heaven and Earth, directly erased his influence through the Mind-Image Overlay. After all, the plan had changed.

With so many changes happening in the world, the plans I made before leaving the pass are clearly no longer applicable.

Then, Bai Chijing took a step forward, and with his ability to be omnipresent and neither move nor escape, he appeared directly in front of Huai Qiaoqiao after finding her location.

After all, Bai Chijing doesn't really have many acquaintances.

As for trusted acquaintances, there were even fewer, only one and a half in total. One of them was in the underworld, and the other half was Huai Qiaoqiao.

A century has passed, and Huai Qiaoqiao has not changed much.

Unlike the absurd changes in the mortal realm of Yao Tian, ​​Huai Qiaoqiao's current cultivation level is at the Upper Realm of External Aspects. However, because she has made up for her deficiencies, she has already been able to break through.

Although Huai Qiaoqiao lost her status as a disciple of Tu Jian Mountain and could not rely on the power of Tu Jian Mountain's treasures to break through directly after passing the three external tribulations and the first level of the five internal tribulations, the Immortal Sword of Descending to Earth has already taken shape. Therefore, Huai Qiaoqiao can use her own sword energy of entering the world and the power of the Azure Vine Immortal Sword to achieve the same goal.

However, Huai Qiaoqiao did not do that; she patiently endured the remaining four or five internal tribulations.

Because she didn't trust the Azure Immortal Sword.

As the immortal sword took shape, even before it was born, the name Qingluo had already begun to be known by all living beings in the world.

Bai Chijing glanced at Huai Qiaoqiao and, seeing that she was still cultivating, reached out and fiddled with a branch beside him, creating some subtle sounds.

"Senior brother!" Huai Qiaoqiao was awakened by the commotion outside. She was on guard instinctively, but her guard broke down in an instant, and she got up happily.

"Has the century-long restriction been lifted? Congratulations, Senior Brother! Did you come here to inquire about the changes in the Yao Tian Realm? Please forgive me for not being able to answer that question, as I am not entirely clear on the matter myself. I don't even know when the leader of the Immortal Heaven Alliance and the master of the Human Realm Palace appeared. The only thing I know is how these two became immortals..."

At this point, Huai Qiaoqiao seemed to remember something else and added, "Senior brother, it's not just me who feels this way; Senior Sister Long Nian'an and the others also feel the same way. It's very strange."

"Then how did they become immortals?" Bai Chijing asked casually. As for the eerie feeling Huai Qiaoqiao mentioned, he didn't care at all, because it was simply the work of celestial beings. After all, there was no other possibility.

I wonder who this person is, with such great abilities, who not only destroyed the celestial realm but also altered the balance of power between heaven and earth!

You should know that this completely destroys the "medicine" that the celestial beings need to collect and refine.

This hatred is no ordinary hatred!
If we were to calculate the losses precisely, Bai Chijing would also share in the damage. As the acting leader of Tu Jian Mountain, the changes at Tu Jian Mountain also affected a matter concerning his immortal career.

"The leader of the Celestial Alliance and the master of the Human Realm both found a blessed land, which allowed them to break through to the Outer Heaven Realm and then attain immortality," Huai Qiaoqiao replied.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing could only roll his eyes. This explanation was worse than no explanation at all. Even saying that he obtained his fake past magic and then accidentally entered his blessed land would be more credible than this explanation.

……

Just as Bai Chijing left the blessed land and concealed his information and influence, in a side hall of the Zhou Dynasty palace in the Yao Tian mortal realm, a girl who had been lying on a low tree in the courtyard of the side hall, with her legs crossed and a blade of grass in her mouth, suddenly sat up with bright eyes.

The girl was originally lively, but the moment she sat up and looked around, her demeanor instantly changed.

As the girl lowered her head slightly, her eyes, with their extremely long, fine, and black eyelashes, resembling delicate butterfly wings drooping onto a cold, flowery branch, suddenly became completely closed off.

The blush spreading between her full lips, however, resembled the last rays of the sunset from last night, devoid of vitality, leaving only a faint, desolate chill.

The girl was still the same girl, and she was still wearing the same clothes, which were not particularly outstanding everyday clothes in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. However, the way she acted was completely different from two different people.

The former is Zhou Shuyue, an inconspicuous princess in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Because Zhou Shuyue's mother was merely a maid in the palace, powerless and without influence. She didn't even want to enter the palace at first, but her outstanding appearance led her to do so.

Even if a woman with no power or influence entered the palace, she would have no hope of ever meeting the emperor.

Painters who specialized in creating portraits of women in the palace charged money.

Even the eunuchs who served the emperor were charged money for saying a few words.

So, Zhou Shuyue's mother was initially just a candidate for the imperial concubine selection, and after less than two months in the palace, she became a maid. However, it could be said that she and the emperor of the Great Zhou were destined to meet, and the two eventually did meet, and the emperor of the Great Zhou was naturally aroused by her beauty.

Later, although Zhou Shuyue was born, her mother passed away a few years after giving birth to her.

The chances of a princess with such an origin surviving were extremely low.

But Zhou Shuyue's life was not meant to end, because a celestial soul named "Wen Shuyue" entered Zhou Shuyue's body.

At this moment, the one exuding a cold and aloof aura was none other than Wen Shuyue!

"Sister Wen Shuyue, why did you suddenly take control of my body?" This was Zhou Shuyue's soul expressing her dissatisfaction to Wen Shuyue.

After all, this is her body!

She didn't ask Wen Shuyue for "rent," which was fine, but how could Wen Shuyue have the nerve to take the initiative and make decisions without her permission?
"Do you remember the Great Demon of Destiny that I once glimpsed by chance? He has appeared in this mortal realm!" Wen Shuyue replied to Zhou Shuyue in a calm tone.

Zhou Shuyue was born with a strong aura of luck, so she could not simply ignore Zhou Shuyue's dissatisfaction.

"Sister Wen Shuyue, are you talking about that Sect Leader of Tujian Mountain named Bai Chijing?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuyue's face visibly paled.

Over the past decade or so, she had heard Wen Shuyue mention that Heavenly Demon, who would be a nightmare for the entire Yao Tian mortal realm.

As a member of the royal family, Zhou Shuyue was naturally suspicious, and even though she was still young, she did not immediately believe him.

As she grew older, she took advantage of her status and, after learning to read and write, went to read books that recorded some legendary figures in the world.

Then, among these books, Zhou Shuyue found Bai Chijing, whom her "Sister Wen Shuyue" regarded as the source of all terrible calamities.

The records about Bai Chijing are incomplete, after all, too many years have passed, and Bai Chijing rarely appeared in the world back then. Therefore, the records about Bai Chijing in those books are mostly the following four points: he was the master of swordsmanship, he cleaved the heavens with a single slash, he was the head of Tu Jian Mountain, and he created his own demonic cultivation technique, directly achieving immortality in an era when it was impossible to cultivate to the outer realm.

The last point of information is described in great detail in these records, from various perspectives. This is because the visions of that time varied from person to person.

To be able to directly attain immortality in an era when no one else could cultivate to the outer realm undoubtedly better demonstrates Bai Chijing's unparalleled talent.

That person is no less than Yan Zhaotian, the current leader of the Immortal Heaven Alliance, and Lu Zheyuan, the leader of the Human Palace.

"He is merely the acting head of Tu Jian Mountain. The founder of Tu Jian Mountain has never acknowledged Bai Chijing's legitimate identity," Wen Shuyue said upon hearing this.

Because she had a mission to complete; she needed to eliminate that great demon of destiny.

Therefore, she and Bai Chijing were inherently enemies, so naturally she wouldn't say anything good about the other.

“But Tu Jian Shan has already accepted it!” Zhou Shuyue couldn’t help but say. As a princess of the Great Zhou royal family, she had gone to Tu Jian Shan with the Great Zhou royal family when the mountain opened its gates and accepted disciples.

At that time, when the disciples of Tujian Mountain paid homage to the successive sect leaders, Bai Chijing was among them, and not only was he placed at the very front, but a huge stone statue of Bai Chijing also stood at the entrance of the mountain!
It is said that the stone statue is an ancient artifact from two hundred years ago. It was once recognized by Bai Chijing and thus gained a share of good fortune. It contains a terrifying aura that can threaten even the gods of the land.

"There's a reason why the later disciples of Tujian Mountain are not recognized by the Heavenly Lineage," Wen Shuyue said calmly, her tone turning cold.

After all, in her view, Tu Jianshan's actions were a disgrace to Tu Jianshan's lineage.

Does Tu Jianshan not know how extraordinary the source of their lineage is?

That involves beings with mortal abilities!
Even her "Hunting Heavenly Fate Sun and Moon Immortal Wheel" had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge when facing such a being who had ventured into the realm of constancy. Yet the cultivators of Tujian Mountain not only openly worshipped a Heavenly Fate Demon, but also brazenly erected incense and statues for this Heavenly Fate Demon!
Wen Shuyue naturally found this approach extremely displeasing! Therefore, she found what she considered a reasonable explanation for not sensing the power of the Dharma lineage from the disciples of Tu Jian Mountain—that the disciples of Tu Jian Mountain were too unfilial, which angered their Dharma lineage patriarch!
