Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The sapling of the divine tree was planted by the pond. The moment it took root, the spiritual energy of the entire Qingyun Mountain was shaken!

Countless spiritual energies converged from all directions, forming a seven-colored vortex on the back mountain.

The divine tree grows slowly but steadily, and with each inch it grows, the concentration of spiritual energy in Qingyun Mountain increases by one point.

After doing all this, Dao Xuan took a jade bottle of water from the Heavenly Pool and returned to the secret chamber.

He sat cross-legged and carefully poured out a drop of pool water.

The water droplets were crystal clear, suspended in mid-air, exuding an aura of utmost purity.

Dao Xuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and a drop of water entered his body.

"boom!"

It was as if boiling oil had met water, and the immense magical power within his body instantly boiled!

The water of that lake was like an invisible sword, rushing and crashing through the meridians.

Wherever it passed, impurities vanished, and its magical power was forcibly compressed and purified.

Dao Xuan groaned, sweat beading on his forehead.

The domineering power of this Heavenly Pool water far exceeded his imagination. If he hadn't had a deep foundation, even a single drop would have been enough to damage his meridians.

He steadied his mind and fully activated the Tai Chi Transformation Scripture, guiding the pool water to circulate within his body.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

As the pool water continued to refine, Dao Xuan's magical power underwent a qualitative change.

Originally, the magical power was surging like a river.

Through continuous purification and compression, it gradually transforms into glistening threads.

These silk threads travel through the meridians, cleansing and strengthening the flesh and bones wherever they pass.

Three days and three nights later, Dao Xuan opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his aura became as deep and restrained as an abyss. He sensed his own presence and was deeply shocked.

After refining only a small portion of the Heavenly Pool water, the purity of my magic power increased by 30%!

Although the total amount has decreased, its power has more than doubled!

"With my current strength..." Dao Xuan clenched his fist, and tiny cracks appeared in the void.

"Even three ordinary peak-level Celestial Immortals are no match for him."

After emerging from seclusion, he immediately summoned Wan Jianyi and other core high-ranking officials.

In the rear hall of Yuqing Palace, Daoxuan took out ten jade bottles, each containing ten drops of water from the Heavenly Pool.

"This is a supreme treasure of the divine realm; it can purify magical power and cleanse one's foundation of cultivation."

Dao Xuan's expression was serious. "But remember, this water is extremely domineering."

Those at the Taiqing Realm can refine a maximum of one drop at a time; those at the Dixian Realm, depending on the depth of their foundation, can refine a maximum of three drops.

A protector is needed during the refining process; one should not be greedy.

Everyone received the jade bottle and was thrilled to sense the pure aura emanating from it.

Dao Xuan added, "This matter is Qingyun's top secret. If it is leaked, the sect rules will apply."

"yes!"

In the days that followed, the core leaders of Qingyun Sect went into seclusion one after another.

After Wan Jianyi refined two drops of water from the Heavenly Pool, his sword energy condensed into a tangible substance, and he was just one step away from becoming a Celestial Immortal.

Cangsong, Zeng Shuchang, and others also made progress.

Among the elders at the peak of the Taiqing Realm, three have vaguely touched the threshold of the Earth Immortal realm.

The strength of the entire Qingyun Sect is quietly and rapidly increasing.

However, at this very moment, a shocking piece of news arrived.

The gods have vanished.

It's not a withdrawal, not a hiding, it's a complete and utter disappearance.

The message was relayed by Qingyun's secret sentries stationed in Tianzhou.

Three days ago, all the divine soldiers and generals patrolling the edge of Tianzhou suddenly withdrew.

Yesterday, all entrances to Tianzhou were closed.

This morning, the undercover agents risked infiltrating the area and discovered that the vast Tianzhou was completely deserted!

Lingxiao Palace, Yaochi, Divine Weapon Camp, Divine Beast Garden...

All the buildings were intact, and many palaces even had lamps still burning, and the tea on the tables was still warm.

But there wasn't a single god among them, not even the lowest-ranking servants.

It was as if the entire divine race had vanished overnight.

When Dao Xuan received the message, he was deducing the new changes in the Taiji diagram. Upon hearing this, the jade slip in his hand shattered with a "crack".

"check!"

He personally led the team to Tianzhou as quickly as possible.

Passing through the sea of ​​clouds, we entered the territory of Tianzhou. The once dazzling sky is now deathly silent.

The magnificent temple complex stands atop the clouds, yet it is as empty as a ghost town.

Dao Xuan, along with Wan Jianyi, Cangsong, and others, explored all the important areas of Tianzhou.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Nine-Dragon Throne was empty, and a scroll of memorials lay open on the table, half-written with annotations.

On the shore of Yaochi Lake, the peach trees are laden with fruit, yet no one picks them.

In the Divine Weapon Camp, armor and weapons were neatly arranged, as if their master had only temporarily left.

"Sect Leader, this..." Wan Jianyi frowned deeply, "Where exactly did the Divine Race go?"

Dao Xuan remained silent, walked to the center of the Lingxiao Palace, and looked up at the dome.

There used to be a Mirror of Heaven and Earth hanging there, which could reflect the six realms.

The mirror is still there, but its surface is completely blurred and reflects nothing.

He reached out and touched the armrest of the throne, feeling the faint remaining divine power.

"They weren't forced to leave," Dao Xuan said slowly, "they left voluntarily."

And they left quite calmly, taking the core items with them and leaving behind these... things that are useful to us.

"What exactly is Fuxi plotting?" Cangsong couldn't help but ask.

Dao Xuan shook his head.

He recalled what Fu Xi had said when he visited: "The great opportunity is coming soon."

Could the disappearance of the gods be related to this "general trend"?

"Pass on the order," Dao Xuan turned around, his expression solemn.

"Starting today, the six sects, including Qingyun Sect, Shushan Sect, and Tianyong City, will join forces to relocate their disciples to Tianzhou."

Each faction will be allocated territory according to its contribution, and must complete the initial deployment within one month.

"Senior brother, what is this...?" Wan Jianyi was taken aback.

"Occupy Tianzhou," Dao Xuan said, his gaze deep.

"Otherwise, when the next new world arrives, this precious land will belong to someone else."

The order sent shockwaves through the entire world.

News of the gods' disappearance had already spread, and various forces were eyeing them covetously.

However, Dao Xuan personally oversaw the situation with the power of a peak Celestial Immortal.

They also joined forces with six major sects, including Shushan and Tianyong City, and quickly suppressed all dissent.

The relocation work proceeded rapidly.

Tens of thousands of cultivators flocked to Tianzhou, establishing strongholds and setting up formations.

The Qingyun Sect occupied the original Lingxiao Palace area, the Shushan Sect chose the area near Yaochi, and the Tianyong City Sect set its sights on the Divine Weapon Camp.

The whole process went surprisingly smoothly, without any resistance.

It was as if the gods had truly abandoned this foundation they had built up over tens of thousands of years.

Three months later, Tianzhou changed hands.

Human forces divided up this precious land, causing their overall strength to surge.

Many cultivators who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years broke through in the rich spiritual energy environment of Tianzhou.

However, Dao Xuan's unease grew stronger.

A year after the gods disappeared, another anomaly occurred.

On this day, Dao Xuan was refining the water of the Heavenly Pool in his newly opened cave.

After ten years of arduous cultivation, 60% of his magical power has been purified to its limit, and the remaining 40% is also steadily improving.

At this rate, there will be at most five more years.

He will then be able to refine all his magical power to perfection, at which point his strength will reach another level.

suddenly

"boom!!!"

The familiar roar exploded across the heavens and earth!
