A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 645 No Need to See the Black Bird, Divine Armor Tests the Heavenly Blade

"I am fully aware of your purpose in coming here."

Divine Armor Daoist sat beneath an ancient pine tree, quietly pouring clear tea into his cup. "To make my Immortal Spirit Clan form an alliance with the Human Race, and swear an oath not to betray them during the Great Calamity, this matter is quite simple."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Fengming inherits the position of patriarch of my Immortal Spirit Clan, that will suffice."

Upon hearing this, Guan Luoyang merely raised an eyebrow slightly, while the other three who had come with him remained composed.

However, the immortal lords who had guided them were clearly caught off guard. Their emotions were stirred, and their auras fluctuated noticeably.

The appearance of the Divine Armor Dao Lord was that of an androgynous young man with a clear, melodious voice. However, he held extremely high prestige among the Immortal Spirit Clan. The Holy Lords were about to speak when he merely glanced at them, and they all held back and remained silent.

But their gazes did not recede; they continued to scrutinize Guan Luoyang, as if trying to discern what was so extraordinary about this Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable.

After all, among the four distinguished guests, Mu Feng Tianzun had the highest cultivation level and was also a powerful figure among the human race.

Although this Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable has been active in the Southeast Boundary Sea recently, he is still inferior to the Shepherd Wind Celestial Venerable in every aspect.

Mu Feng Tianzun looked at Guan Luoyang with some surprise, then frowned slightly.

He had confirmed that Guan Luoyang and the lineage of Fuxi of the human race did indeed have a great karmic connection. Since his contact with the ninth generation of Emperor Yao, Guan Luoyang's choice of methods to repay karmic debts and his way of doing things had impressed him greatly.

Given Mu Feng Tianzun's age, apart from ancient figures like the Heavenly Emperor and Gonggong, the humans of Taiqing Chiming were basically his juniors, all of whom he had watched grow up.

Upon meeting Guan Luoyang, Mu Feng Tianzun couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, realizing that none of the older members of his family were as impressive as this youngest, who was the most outstanding and capable.

However, upon arriving at the Immortal Spirit Clan, he discovered that Guan Luoyang also had a profound karmic connection with them, an entanglement that was far more complicated than the karmic connection with the Fuxi lineage.

"Fellow Daoist Fengming is a Celestial Venerable of our human race. Isn't it somewhat inappropriate for him to serve as the patriarch of the Immortal Spirit Clan?"

Mu Feng Tianzun did not sit down, but stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "The Immortal Spirit Clan should seek alliances and make plans for the future. If Daojun wants to dredge up some things from the past, I'm afraid it will be against the times and he will be abandoned by fate."

The warning in his words was quite clear.

The Divine Armor Daoist simply smiled and said, "Brother Daoist seems to have misunderstood something?"

"Being a leader isn't like being a laborer, so of course I'm very interested."

Guan Luoyang then said, "But as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. If I am made the clan leader, shouldn't I also give something in return? Daoist Lord, you can tell me first, and I'll see if I can agree."

In fact, by connecting the cause and effect, he could roughly guess what conditions the other party would have.

Not long after the Xuan Niao Dao Zun perished, Gong Gong was suppressed.

So whether it's Xuan Niao Dao Zun himself wanting to rise from the dead, or the descendants of the Immortal Spirit Clan wanting to resurrect him, there's a lot of room for maneuver.

Things like "The True Form of the Bluebird" can, to some extent, be considered derivatives of the Xuan Bird Dao Venerable who once stood at the peak of the Nine Stars and spread throughout the myriad worlds.

Those beings who have formed karmic ties with these derivatives, if they successfully become powerful enough, will have to repay their karmic debts, whether willingly or not, and assist the Xuan Niao Dao in respecting the present world.

Before Guan Luoyang cultivated to the seventh level, he was too weak to cause changes in cause and effect.

When he cultivated to the seventh level, the karma of Xuan Niao Dao Zun began to partially converge on him.

When he first entered the Celestial Immortal realm, he was able to analyze Zhu Can, who was cultivating the Path of the Ferocious Bird, so smoothly. Even later, his cultivation in the entire Seven-Star stage was so fast. This should also be partly due to the karmic blessing of the Mysterious Bird Daoist.

Until he broke through to the initial stage of the eighth star, the Xuan Bird Karma, which coexisted with him, was growing stronger in a very smooth manner.

If things continue to develop that way, one day, even if Guan Luoyang really breaks through to the Nine Star Realm, he will probably find it difficult to resist the Xuan Bird Karma that has grown alongside him.

However, in the Rainbow Sea universe, things started to get out of control when Guan Luoyang decided to possess his own memories.

He leaped from the initial stage of the Eight Stars realm to the peak of the Eight Stars realm in an instant, traversing the boundaries of the Four Heavenly Gates and the Four Imperishable Systems, and perfecting his Great Dao Divine Essence in one fell swoop.

The process of the Black Bird's interference with cause and effect was thus interrupted, forcing it to disappear.

The resurrection tool, which should have been able to be forcibly controlled, can now only be used to see if Guan Luoyang can be persuaded to help voluntarily through a conditional exchange.

Guan Luoyang, as one of the parties involved, and Shenjia Daojun, as the patriarch of the Immortal Spirit Clan, were naturally well aware of these past entanglements.

Even Mu Feng Tianzun, due to his profound cultivation level, guessed most of it after observing closely.

However, Divine Armor Daoist shook his head once again.

"That's why I said that you two fellow Daoists seem to have misunderstood something. Since some things are in the past, they should be left in the past for the sake of everyone."

Divine Armor Daoist took a sip of tea and said, "Let's not even talk about what extent Fellow Daoist Fengming needs to pay to bring him back to the world. Even if he does reappear, it may not be a good thing for the current Immortal Spirit Clan."

"On the contrary, if he had stayed in the past, then his assistance to fellow Daoists at the stages of Celestial Immortal and Emperor would only be counted as good deeds."

"As the closest thing he left in this world, that is, our Immortal Spirit Clan, is the object of the karma that Fellow Daoist Fengming needs to repay."

Mu Feng Tianzun remained calm and composed, but deep down he did not fully believe it.

Xuan Niao Dao Zun was only one step away back then. If he were given a chance to reappear in the world, the entire Immortal Spirit Clan could potentially rise to the top in one step.

To be fair, if the human race had the chance to revive Da Yi now, Mu Feng Tianzun would be willing to give up all his cultivation level.

However, the Great Yi of Taiqing Chiming is separated from the present by countless calamities, and the human race simply does not have the means to revive him.

Guan Luoyang was only slightly taken aback before laughing and saying, "It seems I underestimated Daojun."

"But if it were someone else, it might not have prompted me to have this thought."

Shenjia Daojun spoke frankly, "Fellow Daoist Fengming was able to break free from his causal calculations, and has now cultivated to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm, which is the main reason why I have this idea."

"However, as another condition for the alliance, I still want to verify it."

Guan Luoyang had anticipated this: "Shall we have a friendly spar?"

Divine Armor Dao Lord surveyed the many Holy Lords of the Immortal Spirit Clan.

"That's right, let's have a spar in front of them, I'll go all out."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Shanlong interjected with a smile, saying, "Daojun, your words are a bit too presumptuous. Although Fellow Daoist Fengming recently broke through to the middle stage of Heavenly Venerable, if he were to use his full strength, his abilities would likely far exceed expectations."

The Eternal Divine Fire is equivalent to another Guan Luoyang, plus the Primordial Golden List.

If Guan Luoyang were to truly unleash his full power now, excluding the advantage of the Netherworld's terrain, he would be equivalent to three mid-level Celestial Venerables in their normal state, no matter where he was in the Boundary Sea.

"That further proves that my decision was correct."

The Divine Armor Daoist stood up, extending a palm, "Now I'm even more eager to see it for myself!!"

With a flick of his fingers, the sacred land where he resided immediately began to split apart.

If the Celestial Venerable of Taiqing Chiming has had enough time to break through to this realm, he will transform his former sacred land into a Dao Source Divine Artifact.

Although Shenjia Daojun was not an ancient being, he had been in the Heavenly Venerable realm for hundreds of millions of years.

His sacred land was like a dragon vein formed by thousands of divine mountains and waters. Once it cracked, it was as if these dragon veins came to life and began to slowly arch their bodies, leaving a bottomless abyss in the center of the entire sacred land.

The chaotic energy surrounding the entire holy land felt a violent repulsion, spreading outwards in all directions like the receding tide of the Great Chaos Sea, leaving behind a vast and boundless void.

Since Guan Luoyang did not refuse the sparring, Mu Feng Tianzun and the others, as well as the Holy Lords of the Immortal Spirit Clan, did not try to keep him. Instead, they yielded to this repulsive force and retreated into the chaos to observe the battle from afar.

The place where the Divine Armor Dao Lord lived has completely disintegrated. Those ancient divine dragons wander in the chaotic void, their sizes suddenly changing, some as small as dust, others as large as the boundless universe.

With their size changing rapidly, these dragons launched an attack on Guan Luoyang at an unparalleled speed.

Guan Luoyang reached out and covered down, seemingly trying to press down on the surface of the nearby boundary sea, when his palm suddenly twitched slightly.

All the dragons that emerged from the disintegration of the sacred land seemed to be experiencing their own heartbeats for the first time, their bodies and minds resonating.

In that heartbeat, they fell into a state of bewilderment, whether brief or endless.

On the surface of the boundary sea, a faint ripple spread out.

Guan Luoyang's figure suddenly appeared in Shenjia Daojun's mind sea along with this heartbeat, pointing a sword and piercing through.

laugh!!!!

The true form of the Divine Armor Dao Lord was pierced through.

Guan Luoyang burst out of his body and appeared behind him, but he looked surprised and did not turn around. The Primordial Heavenly Blade flew out from his sleeve and slashed at the sky.

The Great Void Sea is naturally endlessly deep, chaotic and dark beneath its surface.

In the void above the sea, besides the many worlds that float, there are also strands of chaotic energy hanging down.

However, the Heavenly Realm of Taiqing Chiming is vast. Whether in the Southern Boundary Sea or in the Eastern Boundary Sea, if you look up and extend your gaze far enough, you can only see the tenth layer of the Heavenly Realm of Taiqing Chiming.

Those strands of chaotic energy seemed to descend from the tenth celestial realm, casting a dark gray hue over the crystalline, pale sky.

Guan Luoyang's sword slashed towards the sky, resembling an ancient divine mountain rising from the ground and growing from the surface of the Boundary Sea.

As the mountain shook, it stirred up a chaotic turmoil, shaking countless worlds.

It was like a pure white paintbrush that swept away the immeasurable, heavy darkness of chaos, adding a touch of brightness to the vast and distant heavens.

Immortal Venerable Kunwu and Patriarch Shanlong both secretly admired this strike, while the Holy Lords beside them all revealed smiles.

Master Shanlong was slightly surprised, and upon closer inspection, he discovered the oddity.

Once the bright crack appeared, it became clear that what lay on either side of the crack was not chaotic energy at all, but rather an endless array of various magical artifacts.

Because those magical artifacts were too far away, and there were simply too many of them.

It looked like it was forming streams of chaotic energy, something that even a mid-level Celestial Venerable like the Good Dragon Ancestor hadn't noticed before.

Even Mu Feng Tianzun was somewhat moved by this scene.

When members of the Celestial Spirit Clan manifest their true forms, they are often represented by phoenixes, followed by dragons, tigers, turtles, unicorns, and so on.

However, when Shenjia Daojun was born, his true form was a tiger beetle, which is very rare among the immortal spirits.

Even in many worlds where witchcraft and sorcery are prevalent, the immortal spirits that are naturally created by nature usually manifest in their true forms, such as cicadas, silkworms, butterflies, centipedes, and snakes.

Therefore, after the birth of the Divine Armor Dao Lord, one of the biggest problems was that he had no companions or predecessors who resembled his true form.

None of the cultivation techniques he practiced could guarantee that they wouldn't cause any additional hidden dangers to him, let alone whether they could fully unleash his talent.

However, when he reached the Loose Immortal realm, he accidentally stumbled upon a weapon-refining sect and saw many cultivators forging large magical artifacts into different categories before assembling them.

Looking at those components alone, they are all nonsensical things, and there is no way to unleash the full power of a supernatural ability.

However, after the assembly was successful, the fragmented runes became complete, and as the huge formation operated, it underwent countless supernatural transformations, becoming incredibly powerful.

Inspired by this, Shenjia Daojun created a method of one-sided reorganization-style cultivation.

After observing the forging process of many large magical artifacts, he took matters into his own hands and created a component of the artifact based on his own condition. He then observed what changes would occur after this component was installed into the entire artifact.

Once everything is debugged and ready, he can use thousands of beetle-shaped magical artifact parts to assemble the most common divine beast true form, and then seek out the most widely spread divine beast cultivation method to practice.

This cultivation method is not limited by magical treasures, nor does it require the same level of caution as regular cultivators.

The Divine Armor Dao Lord collected all sorts of cultivation techniques without restraint; the higher his cultivation level, the higher his weapon-refining skills became.

After he cultivated to the Celestial Immortal realm and ascended to the Taiqing Chiming realm, his weapon-refining skills were among the best in the entire Celestial Immortal group.

As a result, he gained the favor of the Immortal Spirit Clan, who nurtured him greatly, and in turn, he changed the Immortal Spirit Clan.

Today, throughout the myriad realms, the Immortal Spirit Clan is renowned for customizing magical artifact embryos and refining damaged immortal artifacts. It can be said that this is largely due to the efforts of the Divine Armor Dao Lord.

The Immortal Spirit Clan, whose high-ranking members were wiped out by Gonggong back then, has been able to recover to its current size and dominate a region, making it a force to be reckoned with by all major powers. They should all be grateful for the guidance of the Divine Armor Dao Lord.

Over the years, Shenjia Daojun has never stopped refining magical artifacts; every breath he takes generates magical artifacts.

His true form, which he revealed to the outside world, was not noticeable to others; in fact, it was only a part of his Dao Source Divine Artifact.

The force Guan Luoyang is facing at this moment is not one where there are relatively few Holy Lords and only one Heavenly Venerable among the various factions.

Rather, it is a force that, in the last few hundred million years, has produced a quantity of high-quality magical artifacts that may be unparalleled in all the heavens and myriad realms.
