A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 672 In the past, I stole moments of leisure from my busy schedule; now I truly have free time.

The calamity of Taiqing Chiming was quelled after Guan Luoyang's strike.

However, the Milky Way and the Styx River did not disappear in a hurry. Many powerful figures, such as Wenqiu Tianzun and Mufeng Tianzun, could still take this opportunity to observe the changes of the myriad paths and comprehend more of the Great Dao's singularities.

For powerful beings at the Celestial Immortal and Emperor realms, cultivating and comprehending the Dao in such an environment would also be of great benefit.

Besides helping with affairs in the underworld and repaying their respective karmic debts, the members of the Undying Song Battle Team are also basically in a state of enlightenment at all times.

The reason for using the word "basic" is that there are still a few people in the battle group who, after experiencing turmoil, only want to relax and are not in a hurry to cultivate.

"Master Yuding, you seem quite carefree!"

On the banks of the River Styx, where the grass was tender, the Jade Cauldron Immortal moved a reclining chair and swayed back and forth, enjoying the scenery of the River Styx.

Hearing a voice behind him, Master Yuding laughed and said, "Ancestor Ande, we are both the laziest of us, so let's not laugh at each other."

Ancestor Ande walked over to him, smiled, and didn't take his words seriously.

After being sent to the Underworld by Guan Luoyang, all members of the Undying Song Battle Group received temporary divine authority bestowed by the Lord of the Underworld, assisting the existing forces of the Underworld in interfering with the multiverse within the various holy lands.

The more holy lands a faction controls, the more connections it gains with the myriad worlds; the more factions the human race, the more sacred lands it controls.

The faction of the human race was able to quickly become the one with the most holy sites among the three major factions. In addition to the overt peace talks and alliances and the wars fought in the south and north, the covert cooperation of the underworld was also crucial.

If it weren't for the combined efforts of internal and external forces, the fact that he controlled the most holy lands and had the widest causal connections, Guan Luoyang might not have had the strength to find the weaknesses of others in that causal battle between the three powerful figures. He could only passively endure and wait for rescue.

So don't be fooled by Yu Ding Zhenren's current lazy and leisurely appearance. In fact, before Guan Luoyang attained enlightenment, the most hardworking people in the underworld were the members of the Jue Chang Battle Group, and among them, Yu Ding Zhenren was the most hardworking.

With his eight-star cultivation level, the blessing of the underworld's divine authority, and the experience and background of a high-level reincarnator, the achievements of Jade Cauldron True Man during that period were almost no less than those of any genuine Yama King of the Underworld.

"I'm here to congratulate Master Yuding."

Ancestor Ande said, "Brother Yu has just successfully comprehended a singularity of the Great Dao and has already stepped into the Heavenly Venerable realm!"

"What?!"

Master Yuding sat bolt upright, astonished. "When did this happen? How come I didn't sense anything?"

"At that time, Brother Yu was in the Western Boundary Sea, within the Pure Land of Mount Ling, so it was difficult for outsiders to notice. The news first reached King Qin Guang, who saw that I was the most free, so he asked me to come and congratulate Brother Yu."

Ancestor Ande chuckled and said, "I see that everyone else is either busy with the cycle of reincarnation or busy with cultivation. Only a few of us are relatively leisurely. Perhaps we are the only ones who have time to go and congratulate Brother Yu and join in the fun?"

Master Yuding said with great interest, "He's also a cultivation fanatic, so let's not bother him. Let's celebrate for him ourselves and send him a message later."

Ancestor Ande sighed, "So that's how it is. Perhaps only those with such a firm heart for the Dao can truly step into the realm of Heavenly Venerable. I have little hope of achieving it myself."

Master Yuding said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that Xiao Guan isn't here, otherwise we could have had him bring more people over to make it more lively."

After Guan Luoyang attained enlightenment, to prevent any unforeseen complications, he immediately went to participate in the war against the Heavenly Emperor.

Considering that his opponents were enlightened beings like Gonggong God Emperor and Kongjie Supreme Venerable, he gathered up everything, including the Supreme Master Qingdeng and the traces of divine stones and spiritual embryos from various realms, and focused all his efforts on the battle.

Neither Mu Feng Tian Zun nor the Jue Chang Battle Group can contact him now.

However, people weren't too worried.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor alone could withstand two, leaving Gonggong and Kongjie completely unable to interfere with the development of the great calamity.

After Guan Luoyang attains enlightenment, he should join the fray in time. Whether he can suppress the two opponents is hard to say, but he should definitely gain the upper hand.

"Hahaha, are you talking about the gathering? Fellow Daoist Yu Ding is still so leisurely. How about we join you?"

The distant sound seemed to carry the rhythm of bells. Several streaks of light flashed across the sky of the underworld, and the Celestial Master Cang Ri and the Immortal Tai Yin arrived together.

Master Qingtian also gracefully descended, followed by Yuan Gong and others from the Ten Continents of the East Sea.

After Celestial Master Cang Ri and his companions ascended to heaven, they had dealings with the Jue Chang Battle Group. They worked together for a period of time and got along very well.

Later, Celestial Master Cang Ri and others went to the Heavenly Realm to find a certain star field to repay the karmic debt in the Heavenly Book. As a result, they happened to meet an elder who specialized in cultivating the path of merit. At the elder's invitation, they joined the Heavenly Court's Fighting Department.

After the Great Calamity of Taiqing Chiming broke out, the Dou Department and Chen Department were sealed away along with the main body of the Heavenly Court, so the Celestial Master Cangri and others have never appeared.

Now that they have been able to reach the Underworld, does it mean that the Heavenly Court has already decided the victor?

The man from Yuding was both surprised and delighted. After chatting for a while, he learned the whole story.

It turns out that Guan Luoyang did not rush to the Heavenly Court to join the battle immediately. Instead, he intervened in the Great Void Sea first, retrieved all the Dao Fruit fragments of the leader of the Juechang Troupe, and, together with the fragments he had already collected, helped her directly restore her Dao Fruit true form.

With a sword and a blade, they joined forces to storm the Heavenly Court, immediately taking control of the situation. Working together with the Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu, they steadily suppressed their opponents.

Members of the Dou and Chen divisions were also given the opportunity to be sent away from the Heavenly Court.

Master Yu Ding muttered, "Good heavens, it turns out it's three against two. We weren't optimistic enough before."

"You're not being optimistic either. We're not fighting three against two, we're fighting four against two!"

Guan Luoyang appeared on the grass at some point, strolling over leisurely and saying with a smile, "The agreement with Mount Ling has ended. What else can stop Buddha from getting involved in this matter?"

Although Master Yuding couldn't tell whether it was his true form or a projection, the fact that the other party had the leisure to come back and chat meant that the situation was definitely much better.

"Okay, okay!"

Master Yu Ding breathed a sigh of relief and plopped back into his recliner, finally able to relax completely. "Such a huge upheaval is finally coming to an end."

"The matter between us reincarnators is not yet at the point where it can be settled."

Guan Luoyang looked at the River Styx, observing its changes with great interest, and said, "I now understand the purpose of this turmoil [secret message]."

"For a ten-star being, they could normally take in everything in the Great Void Sea and cover every part of it with their power. However, because there are other beings of the same level, there are interactions between them when they actually observe and intervene."

"It's like when you're looking at a landscape, you can see everything clearly at a glance, down to the smallest detail, but then there are several other huge, unknown sources in the scene that emit light pollution."

"Some people like these unknown things and consider them part of the scenery, while others feel that they must have a complete understanding of these things before they can feel comfortable."

"[Secret Words] This upheaval was an attempt led by their Supreme Being, who invited many enlightened beings to participate."

Master Yuding asked curiously, "How will they try? Could it be that they intend to capture all those who have attained Dao and study them?"

The Jade Cauldron Immortal himself laughed at these words. Of course, it was impossible to arrest all those who had attained the Dao.

Even if the highest beings of the seven warbands were completely united in their opinions and joined forces to attack this matter, let alone the conspiracy between [Secret Words] and [Chaos Tide], it would still be impossible.

"To control the unknown, you must first set a goal; you can't just do things aimlessly."

Guan Luoyang said, "The first goal they set for themselves was to find a method that could create ten-star Dao cultivators with a 100% success rate."

Master Yuding looked astonished, then shook his fan: "Such a target is indeed worthy of their status."

Whether it's the Main God Space or the Taiqing Chiming, although many Dao-achievers have appeared, their Dao-achievement experiences are unique and cannot be replicated.

Even if they deliberately cultivated and tried to create another being who would follow their own path and eventually achieve enlightenment, it all ended in failure.

Consider the vast and bright realms of Taiqing, through countless eons, countless powerful beings at the Heavenly Venerable level have participated in each great calamity. Yet, to this day, the number of those who have truly attained enlightenment is extremely limited.

"Stirring up turmoil among the main gods, interfering with the Taiqing Chiming, and so on, are all part of their plan."

Guan Luoyang paused slightly at this point before shaking his head and saying, "I am also very interested in exploring the unknown, but I will absolutely not agree to their way of doing things, nor will I stand idly by."

"The infighting between the major warbands is actually a conflict caused by their inability to accept each other's methods."

Master Yu Ding exclaimed, "So, you're going to actively get involved in those things later?"

"I originally thought that with two ten-star characters in our battle group, we could just have parties, travel, and coast along every day."

Guan Luoyang laughed and said, "That's fine too."

"Although I don't want to stay out of it, the leader and I have already reached an understanding with the Daoists who came from Taiqing Chiming. We'll all do things together, so there won't be too much pressure."

"We can fight those guys while spending our days partying and having fun with our friends."

He looked back at the crowd and snapped his fingers.

"I'll contact people right now; anyone interested, come and get together!"
