Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The two are far apart, one hot and one cold, one yang and one yin. Although they do not merge, they form a mysterious balance and confrontation.

A tremendous power surged and flowed within his body.

It brings an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, but also has a subtle feeling of being "full".

It seemed that neither the physical body nor the soul could withstand the coexistence of these two extreme forces.

The most crucial step is to refine this initially refined Yin True Water and Yang True Fire.

It is completely transformed into a primal power that one can control and wield as freely as one's own arm.

And try to bring out the wonder of the balance of Yin and Yang to reach a higher realm.

However, time waits for no one.

Dao Xuan felt something and looked up at the land of Shenzhou.

A sense of urgency washed over me.

"The Immortal Realm... is coming."

Without the slightest hesitation.

Dao Xuan's figure transformed into a stream of light interwoven with gold and silver.

Breaking free from the cold constraints of the Moon Star, I flew with all my might towards my home!

Several days later, Dao Xuan appeared, his figure weathered yet radiating divine light.

They quietly returned to Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain.

Almost the instant he stepped into the quiet room in the back hall of Yuqing Palace, preparing to go into seclusion to regulate the surging power within his body!

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar, far exceeding any previous one, seemed to open the heavens and the earth.

It exploded from the depths of the endless, high heavens!

In an instant, the entire land of China trembled violently.

The sky flickered wildly between light and darkness, sometimes turning day into night, and the stars appeared;

Sometimes the night is as dark as day, and the blazing sun hangs in the sky.

The third, and most intense, fusion of heaven and earth has begun!

This commotion lasted for two whole days and one night!

When the strange phenomena in the world finally subsided, everyone could clearly feel it.

The land beneath our feet felt even more solid and vast.

The sky also seemed higher, farther, and deeper.

The spiritual energy permeating the air experienced another terrifying surge.

It is several times more concentrated than the Ghost Realm after its fusion!

Many cultivators who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years suddenly had a flash of inspiration and broke through.

Even more striking is the East.

On the horizon of the Far East, a boundless new continent appeared out of nowhere, shrouded in auspicious clouds and ethereal light!

Its mountains and rivers are magnificent, with waterfalls and springs, and pavilions and towers appearing and disappearing.

Celestial birds and mythical beasts roam freely among them, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it almost turns into liquid rain!

That is—the Immortal Realm!

"Sect Leader, this fusion is incredibly powerful. What exactly is the situation in the Immortal Realm?"

Wan Jianyi arrived at Yuqing Palace immediately, his expression more solemn than ever before.

He could feel the faint pressure emanating from that new continent in the east, far surpassing that of the demon realm and ghost realm he had encountered before.

Dao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back before the hall, gazing at the ethereal silhouette in the east, and slowly shook his head:

"The specific situation in the Immortal Realm is shrouded in secrecy, and I find it difficult to fully understand it."

He changed the subject, his tone calm but not flustered.

However, according to ancient records and multiple sources, the immortals in the celestial realm have always valued a carefree and unrestrained life.

They dislike conflict, and their internal cohesion is far inferior to that of other worlds.

Even if there are supreme experts, they may not necessarily unite against external enemies.

This time, the threat may not be as imminent as initially thought.

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

With Dao Xuan, who has successively suppressed the Demon Emperor and forced back the Demon Lord, demonstrating the power of a Heavenly Immortal, in charge.

The Qingyun Sect, and indeed the entire righteous path of the Divine Continent, now had a backbone.

Without Dao Xuan issuing many orders, various forces across the land had already spontaneously taken action.

Scouts, messengers, and even cultivators skilled in stealth and escape techniques.

They were all dispatched to the east to try to figure out the truth about this newly descended immortal land.

Three days later, preliminary intelligence was sent back:

The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles along its border with the Human Realm.

Within its borders stand numerous sacred mountains and blessed lands, brimming with spiritual energy.

Strangely, there were no heavy troops guarding the border, nor were there any defensive formations.

Only a few scattered celestial birds and mythical beasts were active, making the scene seem... unusually peaceful.

Ten days later, more details came to Dao Xuan's desk.

Just as the various forces in the human realm were filled with doubt and speculation about what the immortals in the celestial realm intended to do.

The Immortal Realm Continent, Central Region.

A golden palace whose grandeur and magnificence defy description.

Suspended above a vast sea of ​​clouds.

The palace is adorned with glazed tiles, white jade steps, stars, and lamps, radiating an eternal and undying divine light.

This place is the "Immortal King's Palace," which nominally rules the celestial realm.

At this moment, the aura within the main hall of the Immortal King Palace was as vast as the sea.

Each of the dozens of figures exuded a terrifying and overwhelming aura.

Enveloped in celestial light, imbued with the essence of Taoism.

They are the true pillars of the immortal realm, with cultivation levels at least at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and several of them are even higher.

His aura was obscure and profound, in no way weaker than Dao Xuan, who had just broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm!

Seated at the head of the table was a middle-aged man with a peaceful face, dressed in a simple gray Taoist robe.

He was the current Celestial King, who called himself "Xiaoyao" (逍遥).

He calmly swept his gaze over the immortals below, then sighed softly, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Fellow Daoists," the carefree Immortal King's voice was gentle.

Yet it clearly reached the ears of every immortal.

The world has undergone a great transformation, and the unification of the six realms is now a certainty, as I'm sure everyone is aware of.

The immortals below had varying expressions; some were calm, some frowned, and some had flickering eyes, but most nodded slightly.

"With integration comes conflict, entanglement of cause and effect, and the gradual emergence of calamity."

The carefree immortal king spoke slowly, his tone carrying a rare hint of heaviness.

"The immortals of our celestial realm have always been detached from worldly affairs, seeking only carefree longevity and inquiring into the fundamental principles of the Great Dao."

Now, in this turbulent world, amidst the impending chaos and carnage, where should we... go?

The hall was completely silent.

The immortals exchanged glances, but none of them spoke first.

The immortal realm is used to being loose and relaxed. The immortal kings are more of a symbol and mediator than a forceful enforcer.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one respond, the carefree immortal king showed no displeasure.

Instead, he revealed a knowing smile.

"That's enough." He waved his hand gently, his voice still calm, yet carrying an undeniable determination.

"It is a good thing that fellow Daoists are devoted to the Great Dao and untainted by worldly affairs."

"Since that's the case, in my opinion... let's disperse."

These words shocked the entire hall!

"The Celestial King must not!"

"Immortal King, please reconsider!"

"The Immortal Realm is our foundation; how can we just let it fall apart?"

Several senior immortals immediately spoke up to dissuade him, their faces showing anxiety.

Although they dislike constraints, they understand the chaos of the six realms merging.

There is a strong collective to rely on.

How important it is to have a Celestial King with unfathomable cultivation leading the way.

Xiaoyaozi raised his hand, stopping the immortals from their commotion.

His eyes were clear, as if he had seen through all the attachments in the world.

"We, the immortals of the celestial realm, are inherently indifferent to worldly strife."

The six realms are now in chaos, and karma is like a web.

"After they disperse, each sought their own place to cultivate in seclusion, wandering and comprehending the Tao, not contending with others, not tainted by killing—this is the true meaning of carefree living."

His tone was calm, yet it contained a kind of wisdom that seemed to see through the secrets of the world.
