Chapter 294 Seeking to Cross the Tenth Tribulation! 4000
"The way of heaven?"
Holding the relic in his hand, Luo Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Upon hearing this, Yin Changsheng, who was standing to the side, quickly asked:
"Lord Luo, what is the Heavenly Dao? Is it similar to the world will that some small cultivation worlds call themselves the Heavenly Dao?"
There are many worlds, and the will of the abyss is not the only one with independent consciousness.
However, most world wills are not very powerful. They can fool people within the world, but their deterrent power drops sharply once they leave that world.
There once was a small cultivation world whose world will gave birth to an independent consciousness that called itself the Heavenly Dao. However, it was later taken away by a passing celestial being who intended to refine it into a weapon spirit.
Luo Tian glanced at Yin Changsheng. There was nothing to hide about this information, since Yin Changsheng had also met people from the Hungry Ghost Path. He then spoke calmly:
"The Heavenly Way, one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, is also generally referred to as the Heavenly Human Way or the Heavenly God Way."
As one of the three good realms in the six realms of reincarnation, the Heavenly Realm governs the reincarnation of celestial beings and is the most important of the six realms.
"Celestial Being?" Yin Changsheng frowned, feeling that the term seemed somewhat familiar.
A slight smile curved Luo Tian's lips as he gazed at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which faintly shimmered with light, and spoke softly:
"This so-called celestial being has many different names in different places."
Initially, the term "celestial beings" simply referred to those in the Desire Realm and Form Realm of Buddhism who lived and enjoyed life without worry, possessing long lifespans and free from the suffering of birth, old age, and sickness experienced by humans.
Although the gods enjoy longevity, happiness, and supernatural powers, which are the envy of mortals, they still have their own troubles.
After a slight pause, Luo Tian, observing the gradual changes in Yin Changsheng's expression, continued:
"For example, there are five signs that appear before death in the six desire realms: dirty clothes, withered hair, sweating under the armpits, foul body odor, and displeasure with one's seat."
This is known as the "Five Signs of Decay of the Divine Beings."
Yin Changsheng's body trembled instantly, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he asked urgently:
"Is this the origin of the five signs of decay in a celestial being?"
Luo Tian nodded calmly, his gaze never leaving the relic of Di Ting in his hand.
"How do we cultivators have anything to do with celestial beings? Aren't the celestial beings in the Six Paths of Reincarnation the celestial beings in the Desire Realm and the Form Realm?"
Yin Changsheng was still full of doubts.
Luo Tian said softly:
"That was then. After the Six Paths of Reincarnation were fully integrated into the Underworld system, the Heavenly Path naturally refers to more than just the Desire Realm and the Form Realm; that would be too limiting."
Many immortals who have achieved long lifespans are, to some extent, among the celestial beings, and can enter the celestial realm within the six realms of reincarnation.
As Luo Tian played with the white jade-like relic in his right hand, a smile curved his lips.
"However, this kind of opportunity obviously does not belong to your Xuanhuang Great World."
The former Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, now known as the White Bone Bodhisattva, holds the power of death and the six realms of reincarnation, severing the path of reincarnation for you immortals.
Although reincarnation has been lost, the five signs of decay of the celestial beings, which are the tribulations of death for all the immortals, have not disappeared. Instead, the White Bone Bodhisattva bestowed upon them the Di Ting (a mythical beast), which serves as the most important test in their calamities.
The Five Signs of Decay of the Celestial Beings symbolize the death of celestial beings. Once they fall, even an Eight Tribulation Golden Immortal will perish, because an Eight Tribulation Golden Immortal is a celestial being, and this is the authority that directly points to the death of celestial beings.
Having lost the chance of reincarnation, once an immortal dies, they can only belong to that White Bone Bodhisattva.
At this point, Luo Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh.
He never imagined that simply killing his mount, Di Ting, would bring him such an opportunity.
Strictly speaking, the relic in his hand is not exactly the relic of the Di Ting. The Soul Flame can still receive some passive layer enhancement. Even if it is not as powerful as the Soul Absorption Strike, it is still a flame close to the level of great divine power.
Pointing directly to the source of death and burning, even the relics of the Di Ting will be completely destroyed in the burning of the soul's flames, leaving no chance to leave behind any so-called relics.
This white jade-like glass ball is essentially a portion of the death authority bestowed upon Di Ting by the White Bone Bodhisattva, directly pointing to the five signs of decay of celestial beings in the human realm, which symbolize the death of celestial beings.
This is also the reason why the Heavenly Dao has shown unusual activity.
Because within this power of death lies a part of the essence of the Heavenly Dao, it can be said to be a crucial factor in initiating one of the six paths of reincarnation.
Thinking of this, the Imperial Seal of the Eastern Peak reappeared in front of Luo Tian.
The relic in Luo Tian's palm, aided by the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal, opened a portal connecting to the underworld and slowly fell into that realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
As the relic disappeared into the cycle of reincarnation, countless immortals throughout the Xuanhuang Great World subconsciously looked up at the sky.
In their perception, the ominous aura that had lingered over countless years on the immortals seemed to have dissipated considerably at this moment.
Several Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals, who sat atop the Xuanhuang Great World, suddenly opened their eyes in their caves, their powerful auras spreading uncontrollably outwards.
As the most powerful being closest to the Ninth Tribulation, the closer one gets to the calamity, the more one can sense the terror hidden behind it.
Among these are three calamities and six tribulations, but the most important is the terrifying Five Signs of Decay of the Celestials.
Just now, in their perception of the calamity, the oppressive feeling brought by that crucial link vanished by nothing.
These Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals all looked shocked and exclaimed:
"Why has the Five Signs of Decay of the Celestials been weakened so much out of nowhere?"
Even Yin Changsheng, who was standing next to Luo Tian, was stunned for a moment before the lingering sense of oppression in his heart quietly dissipated.
Looking at the relic that had disappeared into the Imperial Seal of Mount Dongyue, Yin Changsheng couldn't help but speak:
"Could that relic just now be the source of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man that Celestial Venerable Luo spoke of?"
"It's just a bit of power that's been carved out, but it's still somewhat useful."
The White Bone Bodhisattva wasn't foolish enough to hand over everything to Di Ting; he still held the reins of the Five Signs of Decay in Devas. However, starting today, the Five Signs of Decay in Devas should weaken considerably.
Luo Tianyun's nonchalant words still delighted Yin Changsheng.
However, Luo Tian had no time to pay attention to Yin Changsheng; his focus was entirely on the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the Underworld.
As the relics merged into the Heavenly Dao, the previously trembling cycle of reincarnation finally showed signs of weakening.
Originally, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were entirely supported by the Animal Path. Luo Tian's repeated rebirths within the Animal Path disrupted the stability of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, causing it to tremble and thus affecting the stability of the entire Underworld.
Now that some of the Heavenly Dao's authority has been restored, the previously dim Heavenly Dao shows signs of opening up. This is undoubtedly a powerful external force being injected, causing the previously trembling Six Paths of Reincarnation to begin to stabilize.
Although it hasn't reached the point where Luo Tian can use the rebirth skill again, it's foreseeable that reopening the Underworld is just around the corner.
Once the Underworld is opened, Luo Tian can take advantage of this trip to the Xuanhuang Great World to thoroughly plunder the White Bone Bodhisattva and fill the currently empty Underworld.
If all else fails, you could dig up some ghosts and spirits from the lower realms to fill the ranks of the underworld and improve its overall number of ghosts and spirits.
And most importantly, since he was able to obtain the power of death of the five signs of decay of heaven and man from the Di Ting, it means that the White Bone Bodhisattva must also have it.
If they could acquire all of them and allow Luo Tian to fully activate the Heavenly Dao, Luo Tian could replace the incomplete Yin-Yang system of the entire Star World with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
After that, the Lesser Underworld governs the mortal world, while the Underworld governs the reincarnation of all immortals.
Immortals may be exempt from calamities, but after death they will inevitably enter the underworld and be reincarnated through the six realms of reincarnation.
If this can be achieved, it will undoubtedly greatly elevate the status of the underworld, and it is not impossible that it could eventually connect with all realms and evolve into a vast world.
Upon arriving in the Xuanhuang Great World, Luo Tian finally saw a glimmer of hope for a solution, and a joyful smile appeared on his lips.
Just then, Yin Changsheng, who had been following Luo Tian, suddenly panicked and spoke to Luo Tian:
"Lord Luo, I suddenly have urgent business to attend to and must return to my cultivation chamber first."
If there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll definitely do it!
After saying that, Yin Changsheng immediately prepared to make a run for it.
Seeing Yin Changsheng's slightly panicked expression, Luo Tian frowned and grabbed Yin Changsheng's shoulder, saying:
"What are you panicking about? With me here, who else could possibly eat you?"
Yin Changsheng said timidly:
"Have!"
"Who is it?" Luo Tian sneered.
"Junior Sister Wen!"
Luo Tian's lips twitched slightly.
Yin Changsheng spoke anxiously:
"Junior Sister Wen and her avatar are already on their way here. I've been using my avatar to face Junior Sister Wen, so I'm not too afraid that she might suddenly attack me. Anyway, it's the avatar that will get slashed."
If she finds out I have this other body, she might go after it directly. The risk is too great; I can't afford to take that risk!
After a slight pause, Yin Changsheng glanced cautiously at Luo Tian's expression and whispered:
"However, if Venerable Luo is willing to mediate on my behalf, then there will definitely be no problem."
Before Yin Changsheng could finish speaking, Luo Tian waved his hand dismissively, as if swatting away a mosquito, and said with a look of utter displeasure:
"Get out of here!"
"You are responsible for dealing with your own sins!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Changsheng immediately threw out a talisman and disappeared into the ground below Yunlai Peak.
Not long after Yin Changsheng left, Yin Changyu and Wen Qiuyue arrived in front of Luo Tian.
After bowing respectfully to Luo Tian, Yin Changyu spoke first:
"Sir, may I ask what that giant white jade elephant was...?"
Although Yin Changyu and Yin Changsheng are one entity, Yin Changsheng has always only received information from one side in order to prevent her from being implicated if something happens to her avatar.
Yin Changsheng knows information about Yin Changyu, but Yin Changyu is unaware of Yin Changsheng's previous exchanges with Luo Tian.
Luo Tian found this avatar much more pleasing to the eye than that coward Yin Changsheng, so he replied:
"It was just a small fish that I barely managed to catch."
Seeing this, Wen Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, also bowed to Luo Tian and spoke up:
"The following is Qiuyue, the Supreme Elder of the Jade Emperor Pavilion."
May I ask what brings you to the Jade Emperor Pavilion?
Wen Qiuyue kept a low profile in both tone and posture, and tacitly refrained from questioning the burly man about what had happened.
