Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 454 He is a Swordsman
The six gates of life, death, obscurity, light, illusion, and extinction—entering this formation means that life, death, illusion, and extinction are all within a single thought. Once caught in this formation, even immortals cannot escape.

Spiritual energy, matter, and space are all being refined into nothingness by an invisible force.

Long Eyebrows has never been an easy person to talk to. Apart from his junior brother Blood Demon who was raised in Starry Sea, which other demon could escape his schemes? He has killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

Not to mention obstructing someone's path, a fight to the death.

Xu Xuan's demeanor needs no further explanation; let us return him to the world first.

He used the false to cultivate the true, and wielded the Primordial Chaos Supreme Purity Divine Talisman for hundreds of years. He was able to extract just a few of its essences, which was enough to suppress this formation.

The grand formation was evolving into a primordial scene, seemingly about to refine the extraterrestrial demons within this world of destiny.

A murderous aura enveloped the two people in the center of the formation like a tidal wave.

Space and time were sealed off by the two realms, and there was no life within the ten directions. This place had become a dead land.

Li Yingqi's cultivation level was the lowest, having just reached the threshold of entering the Dao. He was already teetering on the brink of collapse amidst the rotation of the Six Gates of Life and Death, and his soul was about to disintegrate.

There was no fear in his eyes, and his grip on the sword tightened even more.

While trying to protect the little girl, Xu Xuan was also struck in the back by a divine light and fell to the ground.

If it weren't for the fear of death that led to the activation of all protective magical artifacts, he would have truly died on the spot.

His raging anger could no longer be contained.

Good, good, good, what a domineering Shu Mountain Long Eyebrows! How can he not even let anyone understand his words?

I've already made two moves since I arrived in this world. Do you really think I'm some kind of benevolent saint?!
If Baoan Hall hadn't accepted the martial arts techniques and spiritual treasures from Mount Shu, I wouldn't have been so polite.

What's even more outrageous is that I've always been the one to ambush others since my debut. I've never gotten the better of Black Mountain, Judge Lu, or Dragon Subduing. Today, I was kind-hearted for a moment and was ambushed by a righteous sect leader, which is a disgrace.

This damned sense of morality ultimately limited my ability to act.

Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.

He stomped down hard.

The Pure Land of Buddhism evolved within the Yin-Yang Microcosm Array.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, clear water flows around the endless lapis lazuli land, and six billion seven-jeweled lotuses are allowed to be poured into them by the Mani water, expounding the wonderful Dharma. Seven rows of trees with seven-jeweled leaves bloom beside five hundred billion jeweled towers.

Eighty-four thousand kinds of light flow from the hair between his eyebrows, and he constantly guides all sentient beings with his precious hands.

With a cold laugh, he said that the methods of Buddhist heretics would not last long and would be refined into nothingness.

However, the evolution of Pure Land Buddhism has only progressed to the first half; the second half has only just begun.

Today, the one entering the battle is none other than the White Lotus Saint Venerable.

The sun sets in the west, rivers freeze, trees shed leaves, crystal loses its color, magnificent buildings collapse, and even Bodhisattvas shed tears.

Finally, it transformed into 84,000 white lotus petals that stretched across the void, upon which the Divine Venerable Xu Xuan sat cross-legged.

The destructive power of the Pure Land evolution directly shattered a corner of the formation, creating a void.

Before Long Eyebrows could activate the array gate to seal it, the Holy Father's eyes shone with a bright white light as he looked at the figure above.

With a raised finger, a faint sound echoed between heaven and earth, making the primordial landscape feel exceptionally heavy, and the world was collapsing in chaos.

A huge vortex seemed to emanate from her fair, jade-like fingers, radiating endless attraction.

The long-browed immortal was a little unsteady on his feet and almost followed suit, chanting the name of the Silent Mother.

"White lotus?!?"

Just then, Xu Xuan reached into the void where the formation had broken and grabbed out along the deepest and heaviest causal line.

If it were truly the Yin-Yang Microcosm Array, it would be invincible in the world. Unfortunately, the illusory element within your destiny has a fatal flaw.

Suddenly my hand felt heavy, and I heard a woman's voice.

"Hanwen, don't do anything reckless."

"I'm not a reckless person."

Then he pulled out a plaque from the void that was neither gold nor jade, with incense smoke still swirling around it, showing that it had been well-worshipped.

Today is the day you should step up your game.

Hand it over to Li Yingqi, and have the little girl hold it and stand in front.

"Long-browed, do you know your crime?!"

Long-browed man stared intently at the inside of the formation and was immediately horrified.

Imperial Decree of the Heavenly Register of the Tushita Heaven

There are no flashes of brilliance, no special effects, it's just an ordinary sign.

But once this item was taken out, this little world became the property of the Xu family.

The renowned Two Elements Micro Dust Array collapsed on the spot, and the illusory Primordial Chaos Supreme Purity Divine Talisman fell into Li Yingqi's palm.

The white-browed old man screamed and fell from the sky, his domineering figure slumped on the ground, somewhat hunched over, as if he had sprained his back.

Even while paralyzed on the ground, he stared intently at the imperial edict.

It wasn't that they were shocked that the extraterrestrial demons could possess this decree; since the other party had severed the fate of the Shu Mountain's revival, obtaining the true decree was to be expected.

What shocked him was that the other party had obtained the approval of the imperial edict, which was the only way to dispel the magic array.

This is tantamount to his own Taiqing lineage acknowledging someone else and abandoning him, the master of Shu Mountain. "Why...why?"

Her once domineering presence has vanished, replaced by eyebrows that now resemble those of a broken record – something no outsider has ever seen before.

Although he has experienced many tribulations and trials, his status as the chosen one is undeniable.

Aside from being forced to disintegrate due to his junior brother in his previous life, this life is smooth sailing as he establishes his own sect and has the potential to become an immortal.

The blow of being suddenly abandoned by the orthodox tradition was immense.

This also means that he has become a wandering cultivator in the mountains, while the orthodox lineage is in the hands of the evil demons on the other side.

"why?"

"Of course it's because you lost Mount Shu in order to avoid disaster and calamity."

Xu Xuan immediately rebuked him, "You old man, you have no sense of propriety!"

Others might not understand many of Changmei's actions, but how could Bai Suzhen not see through them after obtaining the Shushan inheritance?

The Bodhi Patriarch once said: "Having understood the nature of Dharma and grasped its source, and having already imbued the spirit body, one should only guard against the 'three calamities and harms'."

Becoming an immortal is to seize the creation of heaven and earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and moon. There is an inner tribulation: the heavens send down thunder calamities, the earth burns with yin fire, and the wind of death descends.

Of course, there are also external calamities and human disasters. If one has accumulated good deeds and accumulated merits in the past, and is free from karmic consequences, one will naturally pass through them peacefully.

However, the way Shushan acts and its domineering style as a major sect will inevitably lead to its downfall.

At this time, the righteous path is declining while the demonic path is rising; to go against the will of Heaven will only result in being reduced to ashes.

So Changmei deliberately avoided the calamity and went away, waiting for the restoration of Mount Shu before re-emerging as an immortal.

This calculation was certainly well-intentioned; his master, as well as many other immortal lineages, had done the same.

But he happened to run into Yan Chixia, who had a pure and innocent heart.

After the battle in Bei, Guo Bei cleansed the rust from his sword and resolutely returned to the fallen Shu Mountain to rescue his fellow disciples.

Holding onto the belief that one is destined to die will naturally bring rewards.

Lian Xing sacrificed his life to deliver the Heavenly Strike Thunder Flame, and the True Imperial Edict Daoist lineage naturally belonged to this Shu Mountain disciple who did not avoid it, who was also the most mediocre disciple back then.

The way of the sword immortal lies in being straightforward.

One may be mediocre in talent, but one's character must be upright, straight, and consistent to the end.

Long-browed was indeed a chosen one of destiny, possessing exceptionally high comprehension.

After hearing this, he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, realizing that fate had been altered with every sip and bite.

He was simply too obedient to fate.

Those who manipulate the secrets of heaven fall into a cage, forgetting that the path to immortality for mortals lies in defying the heavens.

Having understood this point, the domineering aura around him dissipated.

"It turns out that the moment I had the intention to avoid it, I had already fallen into a human calamity, which is also my own calamity."

Success or failure is both ordained by fate.

"Fortunately, the other fragments of the soul are still intact, so there is still a chance to salvage the situation."

"Young friend, you possess remarkable comprehension; you are destined for great things."

In an instant, an aura of transcendence appeared on the spot, and the somewhat disheveled figure became radiant again, even exuding a gentle aura like that of a senior master from a storybook.

Xu Xuan felt no joy at seeing this scene of profound enlightenment; instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Even when he was being refined by the Yin-Yang Dust Array, he wasn't this angry.

Bai once said that cultivators at the pinnacle of the human realm are different from ordinary people; they can give up everything for the sake of the path.

He didn't believe it before, but today he has no choice but to.

Such a great man, how could he have come to this?

Even so, Changmei only reflected on his own wrong methods, but did not see the rivers of blood flowing on Mount Shu.

Brother Yan will probably be very sad when he finds out.

"They're useless to keep, kill them."

Making friends with senior experts, the Haotian Mirror, magic arrays, right and wrong—none of that matters anymore.

We just have different paths.

People always have to make choices. You chose to become an immortal, so I'll see you off on your journey.

Li Yingqi also showed no mercy and did not hesitate to kill the former master of Shu Mountain.

Long-browed was puzzled as to why this choice was so unwise.

Just as it was dissipating, the little girl said earnestly:
"From now on, there will only be the new Shushan."

"The new master of Shu Mountain is named Yan Chixia; he is a swordsman."
