My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 180 So this is the battle for the Great Dao

This Xuanlong Zhenjun Saitianren lost his Xuanlong and was taken away.

It seems that those with powerful connections are invincible, and in fact, that is indeed the case, because Bai Chijing is currently powerless against this immortal who rescued Xuanlong Zhenjun.

If the other party harbors ill intentions towards him, then that's a different story.

But this immortal surnamed Lü was very measured in everything he did, speaking and acting neither servile nor arrogant, and never harboring any ill intentions.

This prevents Bai Chijing from suffering a backlash from his luck.

Although Bai Chijing could forcibly manipulate destiny to suppress and kill his opponent, this would be overkill. After all, at most, he could send his opponent into reincarnation with a flick of his finger after another year of cultivation.

At this moment, Old Monster Bai is in his home state.

Although the fierce-eyed gourd has returned home, it can be said that Bai Laoguai's success today is entirely due to this fierce-eyed gourd, so it's not wrong to say that Bai Chijing has returned home.

At this moment, due to the seemingly childish defeat of the Xuanlong True Monarch, the atmosphere within Yuntang Pass began to grow heavy. However, this sense of heaviness was reserved for the lower-ranking soldiers and cultivators; the true high-ranking officials within Yuntang Pass, namely the prefect of Yuntang Pass, were unusually calm.

This confidence wasn't something a superior had to feign to keep the lower classes from causing trouble and to make them obey his orders.

The prefect of Yuntang Pass was truly calm at this moment.

Because all of this is within the calculation.

After all, his entry into the mortal world this time can be said to have thoroughly offended a quasi-near-Dao Heavenly Venerable who was about to ascend to the throne from the very beginning, leaving no room for maneuver.

However, this was something he had anticipated before entering the world, so he was mentally prepared to go all the way down this path.

Because once he succeeds, he can ascend to the throne!
The struggle for the throne is not only about the supreme power in the mortal world, where there is no turning back, but also about the struggle for the throne on the path of cultivation!

In other words, he could also say that the external demons and human tribulations that the other party had to go through before ascending to the throne.

If the opponent loses, then it will be to his advantage!
But if he loses, then naturally he will help the other party to ascend to the throne without any obstacles, making the path smooth and unobstructed.

However, to be precise, the other party actually lost out, because the benefits they gained from him were extremely limited. On the other hand, if he succeeded, the benefits he would receive would be enough to tempt even a near-Dao Celestial Venerable!

At this moment, sensing the aura emanating from beyond Yuntang Pass, the prefect of Yuntang Pass couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Because this person had not yet been born and their fortune had not fully manifested, he could only sense that this person's fortune was astonishing at that time, but he did not know much about the specifics of the situation.

When they met face to face, the prefect of Yuntang Pass discovered that the other party's fortune was so profound that it was almost as vast as the sky.

As far as the eye can see, it seems endless!

Such good fortune was enough to stir even the governor of Yuntang Pass.

This is truly a profound injustice of the heavens. It's one thing that this person was born to ascend to a high position and attain enlightenment, but the fortune he possesses is so immense!

It should be noted that the other two who are about to ascend to the throne have gone through 33,000 major and minor tribulations, and have earned the titles of "Su Bairen" and "Ning Jingxian" without any distinction of order, in order to have sufficient qualifications to ascend to the throne.

Furthermore, whether it is "Su Bairen" or "Ning Jingxian", if they want to successfully ascend to the throne, they must disperse their cultivation and thoroughly enter the mortal world!
What does it mean to be fully engaged in the world?
In other words, although these two individuals initially possessed considerable fortune, it was not immense. They needed to gradually receive external support to make their fortune truly powerful.

That is to say, it must start from the very beginning!

Therefore, even the prefect of Yuntang Pass was convinced of the merits of these two individuals' ascension to the throne. After all, these two were not only of noble birth but also had sufficient qualifications for the position, and the final ascension process conformed to the past rules of Zhixuan Heaven.

But what makes this reincarnation of the Primordial Immortal Power so special?

Just because it is an essential item for the creation of heaven and earth, once it is reincarnated, it will possess immense fortune, making it unapproachable even for immortals and requiring even the Heavenly Venerables of the Near Dao to give way!
This made him extremely dissatisfied!

Moreover, it wasn't just him; many ancient immortals within the Immortal Extreme Cave were also dissatisfied with this person. It was only because many of these ancient immortals weren't from the Knowing Profound Heaven that they couldn't use this matter to make a move; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have been the only one to enter the mortal world this time!
"Fight, fight, Taichu Immortal! Bai Chijing! The more you fight, the longer you stay here, the better," said the Prefect of Yuntang Pass indifferently.

He wasn't saying this to anyone else, but to his future self.

Because he possesses a method that can involve future lives.

Then, the future self influences itself!
He is sending a message to his future self, thereby creating more variables.

However, after saying this, the prefect of Yuntang Pass changed his expression. Before, he was indifferent to everything and was obviously not a person who could exist in the mortal world. But after this instant change, his expression became no different from most cultivators in the mortal world.

It has a touch more of the mundane world, but also a touch more of human warmth.

At that moment, a guard from the prefecture ran over quickly, stopped at the door, and said loudly, "Reporting to the prefect, True Lord Fengwu of Shangyou Mountain has not yet descended the mountain, but his disciple has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the prefect of Yuntang Pass broke into an exaggerated smile, then jogged out, saying as he ran, "Where is the immortal from Shangyou Mountain? Quickly prepare a banquet; I must properly entertain the immortal from Shangyou Mountain!"

His behavior was just like that of an official in a mortal dynasty.

The acting was very convincing.

Because that's his current identity.

Shangyou Mountain is a major immortal sect in Qinglong Prefecture, and also a major threat to the Xuanxian Dynasty. In particular, in the last three hundred years, the Xuanxian Dynasty's fear of Shangyou Sect has reached its peak.

If it weren't for other constraints, the Xuanxian Dynasty would have already taken action against the Shangyou Sect. Other immortal sects and cultivation families only harmed the interests of the Xuanxian Dynasty's royal family, while the Shangyou Sect already possessed the power to overthrow the Xuanxian Dynasty's rule.

Therefore, Shangyou Sect has recently become the most cooperative immortal sect with the Xuanxian Dynasty. Many of its disciples have even been sent to the Xuanxiu Division to serve the Xuanxian Dynasty.

However, Shangyoumen's actions could not quell the Xuanxian Dynasty's imperial family's apprehension towards them.

The Xuanxian Dynasty was aware of this, as was the Shangyou Gate. Therefore, after the prefect of Yuntang Pass openly rebelled, they immediately sent someone to the Shangyou Gate. Even if the prefect of Yuntang Pass hadn't sent anyone, the Shangyou Gate was already planning to send someone to Yuntang Pass anyway.

Soon, the prefect of Yuntang Pass met the disciples of Fengwu Zhenjun of Shangyou Mountain. These were three immortals who had attained the Dao, and the strongest of the three was comparable to Xuanlong Zhenjun in his ability to rival the heavens, having reached the threshold of the True Realm.

The path to enlightenment, truth, and proof is entirely different from "climbing high and looking far, changing emotions with circumstances, transcending worldly concerns, and finding a world apart from the human realm." It cannot be compared with the "vast virtue" or "ultimate truth" of the Dragon Realm of Shu Mountain, because this is an ancient system of the path to immortality.

As for the complex and multifaceted system that, after attaining immortality, is subdivided into twelve cultivation paths, it is called the Great Luo Immortal Path System. The Ten Thousand Holy Mother Tree Immortal that appeared in the Yao Heaven Realm during the period of world-ending chaos originated from this Great Luo Immortal Path System.

The key difference in their strength lies in that transcendent divine power!

Once one attains the transcendent aspiration and great supernatural powers, one's strength reaches the "Attaining Truth" stage within the Dao-integrating Immortal Path system. However, without this, even if one has attained the transcendent aspiration, one is merely a mediocre person, only belonging to the "Attaining the Dao" stage.

Therefore, the "grand gift" that the prefect of Yuntang Pass prepared for Bai Chijing could, under normal circumstances, have been a huge obstacle to any person who ascended the throne at this stage.

If it were "Su Bairen" and "Ning Jingxian" who were only at the Outer Aspect Realm level, like Bai Chijing at this moment, they would be speechless and helpless upon arriving at Yuntang Pass.

It should be noted that at this time, because of the influence of the immortal near the Dao, if the enemy camps are fighting, then attacking Bai Chijing will not immediately result in a backlash from Bai Chijing's luck!
This is the mystery of the struggle for the throne.

Once the ascension to the throne is complete, whether they are enemies or allies, anyone who helped the person ascend to the throne will be rewarded according to their merits and receive blessings from Heaven.

However, the opposing side and the friendly side are not entirely the same, and there is no distinction between them.

The enemy must first give up a portion of the blessings bestowed by Heaven to offset the backlash from their initial good fortune.

This is the fundamental reason why the prefect of Yuntang Pass dared to target Bai Chijing in this way.

"Prefect, please rest assured. Although my master was unable to come here in person for some reason, he bestowed upon us a treasure before we three descended the mountain. With this treasure, even someone with extraordinary fortune will surely be delayed here for some time." The three disciples from Shangyou Mountain were very confident.

Immediately, they arrived outside the camp and then directly activated the treasure.

This is a staircase-shaped magical artifact.

"This is the Primordial Array Ladder! It contains 36,000 array formations. If you can pass this test, your cultivation will surely reach new heights. Furthermore, you will directly master half of all the array formations in the world! I wonder if you have the courage to try your luck?" the three disciples of Shangyou Mountain said loudly.

Although these three disciples of Shangyou Mountain were unaware of the struggle for the throne, the immortals on Shangyou Mountain, especially the True Lord Fengwu, were undoubtedly aware of it.

Because this True Lord Fengwu is able to go to the Immortal Extreme Cave to listen to the Dao.

Therefore, although he sent his disciples to assist the prefect of Yuntang Pass, he wouldn't directly target Bai Chijing. In fact, he would target him through a series of fortuitous events!
Speaking of which, the Primordial Array Ladder has been in the hands of True Monarch Fengwu for many years. It was with this that he gained the qualification to go to the Immortal Extreme Cave to become a disciple.

However, over the years, he has been unable to refine the Primordial Immortal Ladder, and the ladder has never shown any unusual phenomena.

Until yesterday, when the Primordial Immortal Ladder shone brightly, and even with his immortal cultivation suppressing it, it almost left, Fengwu Zhenjun finally understood the significance of the Primordial Immortal Ladder's existence.

It turns out everything was planned all along!

This made True Monarch Fengwu extremely unwilling, but he also knew the terrifying power of destiny. It was something that even a near-Dao Celestial Venerable could not directly defy!

That's why he had these three disciples.

This time, he was the treasure-delivering boy.

But he is also the obstacle blocking the path of this Primordial Immortal who is about to ascend to the throne!

After this event, regardless of whether this Primordial Immortal successfully ascends to the throne, he will receive a blessing from Heaven. And as long as he accumulates such qualifications, it is not impossible for him to ascend to the throne in the future!

At this moment, in front of Yuntang Pass, Bai Chijing saw three immortals flying out from that direction. He thought they were about to fight again, just like Xuanlong Zhenjun. This made him think a little and he was preparing to conduct an experiment.

Because the True Lord Xuanlong was clearly hostile to him at the time, but strangely, he did not suffer a backlash from his luck.

Although he could sense that the backlash of fortune would come, for some reason, it hadn't come yet.

Now that three more have arrived, it's a good opportunity to find out what's going on with him.

See if this is an isolated case for you, or if it happens to everyone.

However, the words spoken by the three people opposite him surprised him greatly, because they didn't seem to be there to oppose him, but rather to offer him an opportunity.

Because the Primordial Immortal Ladder was not only ownerless, but also resonated with him from afar as soon as it appeared.

Just as Bai Chijing made this thought, he saw a path formed by five-colored light fly out from the Primordial Immortal Ladder and then lay directly under his feet.

This surprised Bai Chijing.

Then, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he realized that this was a treasure prepared by this world for his ascension. Once he passed this immortal ladder, he could claim half of the world's array destiny in the name of the Celestial Venerable of Array Dao!
Therefore, after ascending to the throne, the number of near-Dao immortals who could fight him would be less than a handful!
As this thought arose, the confusion that had previously troubled Bai Chijing shattered in an instant. Thus, with the blessing of his own fortune, Bai Chijing suddenly understood which of the near-Dao immortals had targeted him.

The Western Palace Amitabha Heavenly Venerable holds the power to control one-tenth of the destiny of all formations under heaven.

The Celestial Venerable of Salvation is skilled in three arts: alchemy, formations, and talismans, each of which controls one-tenth of one's destiny.

The Heavenly Supreme Venerable ascended to the throne through the two paths of swordsmanship and formations, with the path of formations also accounting for one-tenth of his destiny.

Venerable Tai Su Tianzun, whose origins and methods are shrouded in mystery, undoubtedly possesses one aspect that is the Dao of Array Formations. He has also claimed a tenth of the world's destiny in the Dao of Array Formations.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was incredibly learned, with expertise in swords, talismans, pills, artifacts, and formations. Among these, he held a significant position in the field of formations.

At this moment, Bai Chijing finally understood what the struggle for the Great Dao meant.
