Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

"Reply to the three major sects," Wan Jianyi decided.

"Qingyun Sect thanks all fellow Daoists for their kind invitation."

Three years later, on the "Heavenly Evolution Platform," my disciples from the Qingyun Sect will surely arrive as scheduled to discuss the Dao with outstanding talents from all over the world.

Let us exchange skills, make friends through martial arts, and together showcase the brilliance of our human cultivators!

Once the order was given, a disciple in charge would go and draft a reply.

Soon, news arrived that Qingyun Sect had gladly accepted the invitation and would send its elite disciples to participate in the "Central Continent Martial Arts Tournament".

It spread quickly, like a gentle breeze.

This news, to some extent, alleviated some of the oppression and panic brought about by the "Primordial Covenant".

This has led many cultivators in the Central Continent to turn their attention to the grand event three years later, and a sense of anticipation has arisen in their hearts.

After all, it was a clash of the highest level among the younger generation of humankind, concerning the destiny and future of the next thousand years.

However, the calm on the surface cannot conceal the turbulent undercurrents beneath the deep sea.

The search for Ao Ming at the East Sea Dragon Palace became even more frantic.

Secret communications with tribes such as the Western Wilderness and the Southern Underworld became extremely cautious and even ceased due to the "leak" incident.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

The trust between them has been broken.

Ao Ming remained missing, as if he had never existed, or as if he were the shadow himself.

Within the Xuan Kong Cave Heaven above the Nine Heavens Gale, Dao Xuan seemed oblivious to all the commotion outside.

Inside the Xuan Kong Cave, time seems to slow down.

Only the clear spring, the fragrant orchids, and the white-robed figure sitting cross-legged on the floating rock like an ancient stone statue.

Deep within Dao Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, there was the nascent "Five Elements Core" that evolved from the Yin-Yang Chaos Sea.

After years of nurturing, refinement, and adjustment, it has undergone tremendous changes.

"The opportunity... may require an external trigger, or a deeper understanding of the Five Elements, touching upon the fundamental laws."

Dao Xuan's mind was clear and he did not force anything.

He knew that if the gates of the Great Luo could be opened so easily, there would be more than just legendary figures throughout history.

Just as he was pondering whether to continue his seclusion or go out to seek another opportunity.

Suddenly, a thought descended from the depths of the universe!

This intention is formless and intangible, yet it encompasses all things, like a glance cast by the very Dao itself.

Dao Xuan's heart trembled slightly, and he instantly understood:

In the next instant, a strange sight suddenly appeared in the endless void outside Xuan Kong Cave!

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor were there countless rays of light or auspicious colors.

Taiyi Stele!

On the monument, from top to bottom, one after another names and brief markings exuding a majestic aura begin to appear.

Each name represents a Taiyi Golden Immortal who has left a deep mark on this world!

Countless cultivators were alarmed and looked up in horror at the towering stone tablet in the sky.

The names on the monument changed rapidly and then froze.

At the very top, the names of those ancient and powerful beings who were once renowned, and some of whom had even disappeared for many years, all reappeared.

Suddenly, the top of the stone tablet, representing the "Head of Taiyi," shone brightly!

A chaotic, shimmering light flowed.

The two words slowly coalesced and became clear—

Dao Xuan!

As soon as the two words were uttered, the entire "Taiyi Stele" trembled slightly, emitting a silent, profound sound.

It seems that even the laws of heaven and earth acknowledge its status!

A unique Daoist aura, gentle yet supreme, surpassing all other names on the monument.

It emanates from the two characters "Dao Xuan".

It was conveyed with unparalleled clarity to the perception of every "monument viewer"!

The top spot on the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stele has changed hands! The new number one Taiyi master in the world is Dao Xuan of the Qingyun Sect!

boom!

At this moment, throughout the five regions and four seas, every cultivator who was qualified to "see" the Taiyi Stele was filled with shock and turmoil!

Zhongzhou, Xuantian Sect.

Lingxiao Zhenren stood atop the sea of ​​clouds, gazing up at the radiant "Dao Xuan" characters in the sky above his heart.

After a long silence, he finally sighed deeply: "The top spot on the Taiyi Stele has changed hands... Dao Xuan Zhenren has indeed come to this."

The Dao of Yin and Yang is unfathomable.

My Xuantian Sect... is inferior.

His tone was complex, containing surprise, admiration, and a hint of disappointment and awe.

Zixia Fairy at the Purple Mansion Gate gently lifted her veil, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, and murmured to herself:

"Dao Xuan, who is ranked first... it seems that his seclusion three years ago yielded far more results than expected."

"His meteoric rise is irreversible."

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she began to reconsider the arrangements for this martial arts competition.

Long Zhantian grinned as he looked at the name hanging at the top of the list, then slammed his hand heavily on the giant rock beside him:

Good heavens!

That kid Dao Xuan really made it to number one!

They even accepted the Taiyi Stele! Hahaha, it seems I didn't misjudge them back then!

This is getting interesting. Let's see if those old bastards hiding in the shadows dare to stick their heads out again!

He felt delighted and grew increasingly close to the Qingyun Sect.

In the Western Wilderness, the Southern Underworld, the Northern Desert, and even deep within the Four Seas, many powerful alien races were also deeply shaken.

Although there are no alien races on the Taiyi Stele, they can still be seen by their cultivation level.

The Taiyi Stele represents the destiny of the human race in this newly born world.

This reached an unprecedented peak in Dao Xuan's life!

This is undoubtedly a heavy wake-up call for forces that intend to restart the "Ancient Covenant" and suppress the human race.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Ao Guang's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, and he stared intently at the glaring words "Dao Xuan" in the sky above his mind.

"The top of the Taiyi Ranking... Dao Xuan!"

He gritted his teeth, his dragon claws digging deep into the armrests of the throne, cracking even the seemingly indestructible dragon crystal.

"Heaven and earth truly favor this person!"

No... we have to speed it up!

The alliance must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise…”

Meanwhile, most small and medium-sized sects and independent cultivators felt a mixture of awe and reverence.

Dao Xuan's name was already widely known due to the Battle of the East Sea and the Black Fiend Incident.

Now that he has been certified as the top expert on the Taiyi Stele, his reputation as "the strongest human" and "unrivaled below the Great Luo" has been further confirmed!

The reputation of Qingyun Sect rose accordingly.

They were almost regarded as the pillar of stability for the human race in the Central Continent.

Inside the Xuan Kong Cave, Dao Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

A chaotic look flickered in his eyes.

He looked up, as if he could see through the barrier of the cave.

He "saw" the majestic Taiyi Stele and his own name at the top of the list.

"Taiyi Stele..."

He remained calm, showing little joy.

Being at the top is recognition, but it also brings responsibility and makes one a bigger target.

He clearly felt that his connection with this world seemed to have become even closer because of his top ranking.

But it also attracted more attention from the unseen world.

There was even a faint, elusive, voyeuristic intent emanating from a very distant place.

"Very well. Now that we've left the pass and encountered this change, the mountain gate must be facing many troubles as well."

Dao Xuan stood up, his Daoist aura flowing naturally around him, resonating slightly with the Xuan Kong Cave Heaven.

With one step, his figure vanished from the secluded cave that had been hidden for a hundred years.

Only the clear spring remains, and the orchids bloom quietly.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

The extraordinary phenomena of the Taiyi Stele manifesting and Dao Xuan ascending to the top of the rankings also shocked the entire sect.
