This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

His soul comes from the Earth universe, while his physical body belongs to the Xuanhuang universe.

After attaining enlightenment, he can not only influence the operation of the Xuanhuang Universe, but also save the fate of Earth and the universe.

Li Daoxuan stood there stunned, unable to calm down for a long time.

Although he always understood that his time travel must have some unknown meaning or plan.

But even after seeing the truth, he still found it difficult to accept it calmly.

All the paintings of time have vanished.

All illusions, both real and unreal, have also been concealed.

Li Daoxuan realized that he had been standing in the passageway formed by the twelve emperors the whole time.

Not far in front of them was the gate leading to the origin of the Xuanhuang universe.

The only difference was that he now had twelve chains wrapped around his body, binding his limbs, torso, and many other parts.

The other end of these twelve chains was held solely in the hands of the twelve great emperors.

Li Daoxuan raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of these emperors one by one.

I couldn't help but feel admiration.

These twelve great beings have all amazed the ages and were invincible in the world.

In the end, however, they all chose to unite with the Dao to save the beings of both realms.

Whether they did it voluntarily or not, this heroic act deserves the respect of the world.

At this moment, they were not actually dead, but to ordinary life, they were practically the same as dead.

Having lost their individuality, they became part of the Dao, only able to govern the world's operation according to the rules of the Great Dao.

For an individual, it can never be considered as living.

Li Daoxuan sighed deeply and looked down at the chains binding him.

It contains the origins of martial arts, an indomitable fighting spirit, the universal law of annihilation, and the supreme sword intent that brings life and death with a single strike...

These are all the paths that the twelve great emperors took when they attained enlightenment.

Only with the approval of these twelve Great Emperors could Li Daoxuan enter the origin of the Xuanhuang Universe.

Seize the greatest opportunity in the world.

only...

Li Daoxuan slowly suppressed his admiration and gently lifted one foot.

His body emanated a surging aura of the Great Dao, and a primordial spirit dharma image, no weaker than these great emperors, rose from behind him.

A halo of light, thousands of feet long, appeared behind the head of the Buddha.

Within the halo, yin and yang alternate; the sun and moon vie for brilliance; all things flourish; from ancient times to the present...

One after another, Dao patterns appeared out of thin air, and actually condensed into a Dao robe on the primordial spirit dharma body.

The flowing robes concealed an endless universe of stars.

Li Daoxuan had a solemn and dignified appearance, his hands forming a Daoist gesture, his gaze calmly fixed on the gate to the primordial land in front of him.

"The achievements of these great emperors are unparalleled throughout history; they are truly admirable and worthy of respect."

"But my Dao, Li Daoxuan's Dao..."

"Why do we need others' approval?"

As Li Daoxuan finished speaking, the raised foot slammed down heavily.

In an instant, yin and yang were confused, and heaven and earth were reversed.

The primordial spirit Dharma form stood before his chest, and the Great Dao light wheel suddenly erupted.

The chains binding Li Daoxuan gradually disappeared.

This was not a contest of strength between Li Daoxuan and the twelve Great Emperors, but a struggle between all the great paths of cultivation.

The Martial Emperor was indeed a genius, but for Li Daoxuan, the Dao was the foundation of his existence.

He never hesitated for a moment about this.

With a firm resolve to follow the Dao, nothing could stop him on this path.

Li Daoxuan walked step by step to the door and stopped.

He didn't know how long it would be before the next collision between the two universes.

But they knew that this cataclysmic event would likely far surpass the previous twelve.

Despite the corrections made by the twelve Great Emperors, the trajectory deviation of the Xuanhuang Great World has reached its limit.

Therefore, without a doubt, this cataclysmic event will be more terrifying than ever before.

Li Daoxuan had nowhere left to retreat.

He must do everything possible to reach a higher level before the cataclysmic disaster strikes, even reaching the level of a celestial being is not enough.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot let go of this primordial energy.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Daoxuan, who had been standing at the door, finally stepped through the gate without hesitation.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

While Li Daoxuan had experienced countless ages through the scroll of time, he had only spent a short while on the Xuanhuang Ancient Road.

Many powerful individuals who entered the Xuanhuang Ancient Path were instantly caught in a world of illusion and delusion.

However, the trials that everyone experiences are not the same.

There has never been anyone like Li Daoxuan who directly traveled through countless ages to that dark age to sow the seeds of martial arts civilization.

But without a doubt, each of them went through an extremely difficult period in history.

The difficulty of the trial was also higher than expected.

Moreover, if this trial fails, at the very least, one's mental state will be damaged and one's cultivation level will plummet.

In severe cases, the victim may even die on the spot.

At this moment, nearly half of the people on that Emperor's Square were already dead.

It was transformed into part of the Xuanhuang Ancient Road and completely disappeared from the world.

Of the remaining half, some failed the trial, suffered damage to their cultivation, and were teleported back to the Xuanhuang Great World.

Only a handful of people remain on the ancient road.

Qingfeng, Mingyue, Wang Jingshu, and Zhujiu were all present.

The last person was not surprising; it was none other than the current number one person in the Xuanhuang Great World, the Heavenly Emperor Xihe.

The reason why Qingfeng Mingyue and others were able to stay until the end was not because their mental state and cultivation were higher than those of the quasi-emperors. In the end, it was because of Li Daoxuan.

Taoist cultivation is the highest level of cultivation method in Earth's civilization.

What they cultivate is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

For the Xuanhuang Universe today, cultivators like Qingfeng are undoubtedly among the most valuable.

As the origin and core of the Xuanhuang Universe, the Xuanhuang Ancient Path naturally favors them.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor was able to reach the end demonstrates his true personal ability and a profound state of mind that transcends ordinary cultivators.

This means that he gained the approval of the twelve Great Emperors in the final trial of his Dao heart and completed the Great Emperors' Path of Inquiry.

Upon entering the final, primordial core, the scenes that unfold are vastly different for each person.

The Primordial Qi is not a stream of air that can be seen with the naked eye in the ordinary sense.

That is the origin of the universe, representing the beginning and end of all things in the universe.

It can be understood as the Heavenly Dao Law of the Xuanhuang Great World.

After entering the Origin Land, Qingfeng and the other three each obtained seven strands of Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

They were then teleported out of the Xuanhuang Ancient Road.

The Heavenly Emperor also received seven strands, but before leaving, another will descended upon him. The Heavenly Emperor's body trembled, and a strong sense of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was then teleported back to the Great World.

Looking at the endless Xuanhuang Mother Qi before him, Li Daoxuan suddenly understood.

It turns out he didn't need this Primordial Qi at all.

Or rather, if he so desires, from now on, the Primordial Qi of the Primordial World can be used at his discretion.

He is the one chosen by the Xuanhuang Great World to face this tribulation in this era.
