Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

"Gathering together only makes us a target for trouble, and we'll be dragged into disputes for no reason. My mind is made up, everyone... take care."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the immortals could offer any further advice, he was gone.

The Immortal King of Leisure was enveloped in a flash of immortal light, and his figure vanished like a dream.

It vanished into thin air from the main seat of the hall, leaving no trace.

They left decisively and without hesitation.

The immortals left behind in the hall looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

No one expected that this usually gentle and even somewhat lazy immortal king would...

At this crucial moment, they were so "irresponsible" that they simply abandoned their post and left!

After a long silence in the hall, an immortal finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Alas, the Celestial King's actions... are indeed unpredictable."

"Enough, enough, let's disperse then. I've long wanted to find a secluded star field to study the 'Great Evolution Star Chart'."

"What you say is very true, fellow Daoist. I also wish to travel to the newly appeared 'Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains' to collect some spiritual essences from the beginning of the world."

"It's better that it's over; it brings peace and quiet."

Amid the discussions, the initial desire to persuade them to stay quickly dissipated.

It was a loose alliance to begin with, and the leader had already run away, so what was the point of staying together?

In the blink of an eye, dozens of top experts from the Immortal Realm either transformed into streaks of light and fled, or tore through space and left.

In the blink of an eye, the magnificent main hall of the Immortal King's Palace was completely empty.

Only ethereal mist remained, as if no one had ever been there.

Several days later, various forces in the human realm, including Dao Xuan of the Qingyun Sect, arrived.

Upon receiving the latest and most detailed intelligence from the East.

Everyone was stunned, and some even found it absurd.

The celestial realm descended, and then... the Celestial King fled, and all the immortals scattered?

Although I had long heard that the immortal realm had a tranquil atmosphere and disliked fighting.

But this is... too detached, isn't it? This is practically the work of a top-tier immortal civilization.

It was directly dismantled into countless individual "loose immortals"!

Dao Xuan held the jade slip in his hand and scanned the information within with his divine sense.

After a long silence, an indescribable expression appeared on his face.

He was indeed prepared to contend with, and even clash with, the strongest beings in the immortal realm.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is also ready to be unleashed.

Unexpectedly, the other party "resolved" the potential conflict in this way.

"This carefree immortal king... is truly a remarkable person."

Dao Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

He would never underestimate the Celestial Realm because of this. It was capable of leading so many unruly immortals.

His cultivation level is absolutely unfathomable, at least at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

When the other party chooses to hide and flee, is it because they are truly free from worries and detached from worldly affairs, or is there another deeper meaning, a temporary avoidance of confrontation?

unknown.

But at least for now, the Immortal Realm is the biggest potential threat.

It has temporarily "disappeared" in a way that surprised everyone.

The biggest boulder weighing down on China seems to have been quietly moved a little.

Dao Xuan put away the jade slip, slowly walked out of the quiet room, and came to the cloud-sea railing outside the Jade Purity Hall.

Gazing upon the ever-changing and vibrant new world.

Feel the golden sun and the silver pool within my body pulsating slightly with each breath.

An unprecedented sense of clarity and strength welled up in my heart.

This third cataclysmic change in the world has brought a far greater gift of spiritual energy than ever before.

The rich and pure celestial energy of the immortal realm merged into the human realm.

This has led to a qualitative leap in the cultivation environment of the entire world.

Dao Xuan could feel that his long-standing barrier was being pushed forward by this overwhelming force of heaven and earth.

It was shaking violently and was on the verge of collapse.

He no longer suppressed his feelings, nor did he hesitate any longer.

His mind sank completely into his dantian, guiding the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon to slowly approach.

Initially, the two remained distinct, with intense heat and extreme cold repelling each other.

It stirred up a storm in the Purple Palace.

Dao Xuan, with unparalleled perseverance and a profound understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang, forcibly reconciled them.

Using their own divine soul as a guide and the power of celestial beings as a furnace, they began the most dangerous fusion.

"Buzz—"

An invisible Daoist aura spread out from Tongtian Peak.

Suddenly, crimson clouds stretched for miles in the sky, accompanied by rolling heat waves.

Suddenly, the moonlight shone everywhere, clear and desolate.

The strange phenomena continued for three whole days.

At noon on the third day, the last wisp of Yin energy and the power of the sun achieved a perfect Yin-Yang balance in Dao Xuan Zi Fu.

When it transforms into a slowly rotating Tai Chi diagram—

"Snap!"

It felt like something inside my body had shattered.

Immediately following, a vast magical power, far more powerful and refined than before, and imbued with awe-inspiring divine might, emerged.

Like a torrent bursting its banks, it instantly flows through the limbs and bones, cleansing all the acupoints of the body!

Dao Xuan's body shone with a bright light that shot straight into the sky.

The sea of ​​clouds above Tongtian Peak was completely swept away!

A powerful pressure belonging to the Celestial Immortal realm naturally spread out.

The aura enveloped the entire Qingyun Mountain Range, causing experts such as Wan Jianyi and Zeng Shuchang to turn their heads in shock, followed by expressions of wild joy.

For a time, the whole land of China was overjoyed.

And by reversing the selection process, both inside and out, a complete transformation is taking place.

The transformation from a terrestrial immortal to a celestial immortal is a qualitative leap.

After reversing the fundamentals of the hierarchy, no one in the world can compare.

After stabilizing his cultivation level, Dao Xuan headed outside.

"Welcome back, Senior Brother Sect Leader, upon your return from seclusion!"

Upon seeing that incredibly familiar, quietly recuperating figure, everyone bowed in unison.

Dao Xuan chuckled softly.

He then dismissed the crowd.

Twenty more years!

Zhou Yixian predicted that the Demon Realm and the Human Realm would merge in twenty years.

These three short words are like a sword hanging over everyone's head.

Unlike the auspicious omens that accompany the descent of the celestial realm, the fusion with the demon realm signifies blood and fire, slaughter and destruction.

In particular, there was a long-standing grudge between Demon Lord Chonglou and Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Once the two realms intersect, an earth-shattering war is inevitable.

The next day

Dao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a blue robe.

The mountain breeze stirred his clothes, but it couldn't dispel the solemnity between his brows.

"From today onwards," his voice was calm, yet clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The four great sword techniques of the Qingyun Sect—'Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique, Demon-Slaying True Technique, Seven Star Sword Technique, and Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique'—are no longer restricted. Anyone can learn them!"

A slight commotion broke out in the arena.

The Four Great Sword Techniques are the foundation of the Qingyun Sect, and have been passed down to only core disciples for thousands of years.

Now, they're going to make it all public?

"Times have changed."

Dao Xuan's gaze swept over the faces below, some young and some resolute.

"With the calamity looming ahead, clinging to old ways will only lead to our own destruction."

As long as you have talent and perseverance, you can study it.

But remember, sword techniques are skills, while mindset is the true path.

Those with wicked intentions who forcefully practice sword techniques will instead be devoured by them.

Without saying another word, he waved his sleeve, and four streams of light flew out from his sleeve, transforming into four jade scrolls that floated in mid-air.

He then began to explain and demonstrate each point one by one.

"The Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique draws upon the divine thunder of the nine heavens, unparalleled in its power and ferocity..."

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and lightning danced at Dao Xuan's fingertips.

"Slaying demons and gods, the sword intent soars like a rainbow, severing worldly thoughts, advancing without hesitation..."
