Poverty

Chapter 1717 Future
The Stone Emperor possessed formidable cultivation. He unleashed his power and clashed head-on with Daoist Gu Yan. Daoist Gu Yan immediately sensed an extraordinary divine ability.

He then harvested the power of the Great Thousand Universe, causing the cultivation level of his lineage cultivators in the Great Thousand Universe to drop by a significant amount out of thin air.

Although he cannot control the universe as freely as he can control the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he has already qualified to establish a sect, and the power he has harvested is also very substantial.

boom!
Ancient Daoist Master's Reincarnation Divine Power sent the Stone Emperor flying backward, his figure retreating continuously.

This Ancient Daoist Lord is truly powerful, somewhat beyond his imagination, and his expression unconsciously became solemn.

Then the Stone Emperor swung his halberd once more.

This halberd was as tall as the sky, spanning the void, with one end already piercing into the universe and continuing to grow larger. Then, the halberd crashed down, gathering immeasurable Dao power.

Ancient Dao Lord sensed the domineering nature of this person's cultivation technique and dared not underestimate him. He activated the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and more and more people from the Hao Realm fell into his Reincarnation Aura, making his cultivation even stronger.

Moreover, Gu Yan Daojun also incorporated the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth into it, transforming the Great Dao of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and various other Great Daos into the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

The Stone Emperor struck with all his might, but could not budge it.

At this moment, Gu Yan Daojun alone was almost equivalent to a small universe, extremely powerful.

puff!

Shi Huang coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit as he stubbornly stood in front of Gu Yan Daojun.

However, Daoist Gu Yan's attack was too domineering. He could only hold on for a dozen breaths before he was defeated and was taken into the cycle of reincarnation by Daoist Gu Yan.

…………

Shi Huang was originally a person from the Hao Realm. In order to break through his own limits and go beyond the universe, he met a strange person in the sea of ​​stars who gave him some guidance.

The vastness of the cosmos is boundless, and some incredible things always happen.

The strange man that Gu Yan Daojun saw wore a bamboo hat and was traveling alone in a small boat, drifting across the sea of ​​stars, seemingly searching for something.

After receiving the instruction, the Stone Emperor's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He then went to study in a foreign land and went into hiding.

He suffered many setbacks because of this, but influenced by that extraordinary person, he developed a strong yearning for the Great Dao, and thus he has been cultivating diligently ever since.

Hearing that something had happened in Haojie, he returned to Haojie to prepare to stop the aliens, and it was on that occasion that he met Li Yanchu.

This time, when the Hao Realm was plunged into a calamity, he returned without hesitation, only to find that this Ancient Dao Lord was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Although the Stone Emperor's body rises and falls constantly in the cycle of reincarnation, his true spirit remains unshaken and indestructible.

Gu Yan Daojun noticed this detail, raised an eyebrow, and began to target the Stone Emperor.

The previous Heavenly Prime Minister could hold out for a while, but Daoist Gu Yan didn't take it to heart. He was somewhat surprised by the characteristics of the Stone Emperor's primordial spirit.

Although the Stone Emperor's cultivation was powerful, he was ultimately no match for the divine power of the Ancient Dao Lord.

After Gu Yan Daojun incorporated heaven and earth into his Great Dao of Reincarnation, he did not continue to expand. Instead, his body trembled, dissipating his divine power. The halo rapidly shrank, and the Stone Emperor's true spirit was gradually eroded, his consciousness becoming unclear.

Anyone would be somewhat helpless in the face of such a powerful Dao Lord.

Ancient Daoist Lord led the disciples of the Samsara Dao Sect on expeditions to the east and west, and many people died at their hands.

He launched a bloody massacre, only stopping when disciples of the Samsara Sect reminded him that the primary goal should be enslavement, not killing everyone.

Daoist Gu Yan still felt there was more to learn. He then continued his cultivation within the precious carriage, no longer making a move lightly.

The disciples of the Samsara Dao Sect gained immense prestige, and wherever they went, powerful figures from the Hao Realm fled in defeat.

…………

There is a golden ship in the Immortal Realm of Haojie, where many powerful figures from the Heavenly Court reside.

A tall and handsome young man stood in the center, surrounded by admirers; he was none other than the Crown Prince of Haojie.

At this moment, an immortal from the Hao Realm said, "Your Highness, the extraterrestrials are rampaging everywhere. His Majesty entered the Thunder Swamp alone and has not returned. His fate is unknown. How should we deal with this?"

The Crown Prince of Haojie said in a deep voice, "If all else fails, we will have no choice but to submit to them, accept their rule, and preserve our strength."

With this remark,
Everyone was shocked.

Immediately, an immortal appeared and advised, "Your Highness, you must not!"

“The extraterrestrials are wolves in sheep’s clothing and will not give up easily. Even if we surrender, I’m afraid all of you immortals here will be killed.”

The Crown Prince of Haojie said, "Our father's fate is unknown, and our elder brother, who returned from beyond the realm, was also captured by that Dao Lord a few days ago. His fate is uncertain. How can we possibly fight against him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, some secretly shaking their heads, knowing that His Highness the Stone Emperor would never surrender so easily.

Shi Huang was originally the candidate for Crown Prince of Haojie, but in order to avoid brothers fighting and fratricide, and also to test a more powerful Dao technique, he went to the outer realm.

It was his numerous resistance efforts that prolonged the war to its current state.

Now everyone reveres the Crown Prince of Haojie, and since the Crown Prince of Haojie has decided to surrender, none of the many immortals have raised any objections.

In order to preserve the Hao Realm, it seems that this is the only option.

…………

The disciples of the Samsara Dao Sect were quite the sensation in the Hao Realm, swarming out to kill countless people and plunder countless treasures.

Everyone was extremely excited at this moment. When they saw many experts from the Hao Realm coming from afar, they immediately became vigilant.

Upon hearing the report, Gu Yan Daojun, who was cultivating inside the precious carriage, slowly opened his eyes and sneered, "These people are courting death and still dare to come."

He then alighted from the imperial carriage, and the crowd followed him to greet him.

However, from afar they saw a young man dressed in a dragon robe who bowed deeply to them and said loudly, "Crown Prince Shi Yu of Hao Realm respectfully welcomes the Supreme God. We are willing to submit to him for generations and never wage war."

Behind him were powerful figures from the Hao Realm, all kneeling on the ground to pay homage to the extraterrestrial being.

Upon hearing this, everyone from beyond the realm was overjoyed.

Ancient Daoist stepped forward and coldly asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

Although he wouldn't mind killing all these people, the arrival of powerful figures from the Hao Realm would greatly enhance the reputation of their Samsara Dao Sect.

The Crown Prince of Haojie respectfully said, "I am willing to cease hostilities and make peace with Your Excellency, and serve under your tutelage."

Gu Yan Daojun sneered: "You're quite pragmatic. What is your status in the Hao Realm?"

The Crown Prince of Haojie respectfully replied, "I am the Crown Prince of Haojie."

Gu Yan Daojun raised an eyebrow slightly: "Where is the Heavenly Emperor of Hao Realm?"

The crown prince replied, "My father has been missing for 100,000 years, and his whereabouts are unknown. Today, I represent the Hao Realm to express my submission and will never harbor any disloyalty."

Gu Yan Daojun smiled slightly: "Those who understand the times are heroes. Your name is Shi Yu?"

Crown Prince Haojie said, "That's right."

Gu Yan Daojun smiled slightly: "I, Gu Yan, can accept you as my disciple and place you under my Samsara Dao Sect."

The Crown Prince of Haojie was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, performing three kneelings and nine kowtows, addressing him as Master.

Many immortals of the Hao Realm felt humiliated, but there was nothing they could do at the moment. Daoist Gu Yan smiled and accepted the Crown Prince of the Hao Realm.

The Crown Prince of Haojie has actually surrendered.

quickly,

Powerful figures from the Hao Realm flocked to the area upon hearing the news, all expressing their submission.

In no time, the reputation of the Samsara Dao Sect soared, and the prestige of Daoist Gu Yan reached its zenith.

Many immortals from beyond the realm are extremely wary of Gu Yan Daojun.

The last time he made a move, he killed many immortals from the lower realms, and this time he's stealing the spotlight again.

However, everyone both respected and feared Gu Yan Daojun, and they were indeed no match for his supernatural abilities.

Gu Yan Daojun was the first to subdue Haojie, and Haojie handed over its treasures. He also sent many powerful figures to collect innate Dao landscapes in the universe and to mine minerals on a large scale.

The Hao Realm was ravaged by war, leaving many places devastated.
However, these powerful figures from the Hao Realm have all begun to work tirelessly for the sake of the extraterrestrial beings.

Everywhere you can see powerful individuals refining stars to offer as stardust.
Others were collecting Dao Scenery. Together, they cut off pieces of Dao Scenery and offered them to those beyond the realm.

Academies are being established in various places, among which the Samsara Dao Sect is the most powerful, after all, it was the Samsara Dao Sect that first pacified the Hao Realm and subdued these rebels.

Some of the Hao Realm people expressed their unwillingness to submit, but their strength was insufficient, and they were all killed.

In fact, many of them died at the hands of the Crown Prince of Haojie!
Crown Prince Haojie is now leading his troops to quell the rebellious army.
They show no mercy when it comes to killing their own people.

They made room in various palaces for these alien beings from beyond the realm.

Many civilizations in the Hao Realm were also destroyed, and their ancient texts were burned and reduced to ashes.

They built various foreign-style buildings, completely changing its appearance.

…………

When Li Yanchu crossed the sea of ​​stars and arrived in the Hao Realm...
All that could be seen were many Hao Realm people being held captive by another group of Hao Realm powerhouses, their heads being chopped off.

There are also people who are loudly proclaiming how wonderful things are outside of their homeland.

That was the most advanced world in the universe, how glorious the extraterrestrial civilizations were, how prosperous their Taoist practices were, and so on, with endless nauseating words.

Li Yanchu frowned upon hearing this.

After he left, he saw many people from the Hao Realm refining stars in the outer universe, so he went up to ask them.

What are you all doing?

Li Yanchu is from the Jingjie realm, and his appearance is completely different from that of the Haojie realm.

Seeing his powerful cultivation, the people of Haojie assumed he was an alien from beyond the realm and answered Li Yanchu's questions honestly.

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised to hear this.

It turns out that Haojie has already surrendered.

He hurriedly inquired about the Stone Emperor's situation, but the news he received greatly shocked him.
The Stone Emperor, whom he feared greatly, actually died at the hands of Gu Yan Daojun!

As he watched these powerful beings from the Hao Realm refine the stars in the universe and collect offerings from the Dao Realm, Li Yanchu felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

He neither interfered nor stopped it.

Along the way, he saw many mines where the Hao Realm people were mining, with only a few otherworldly beings standing there as overseers.

Some powerful beings from the Hao Realm were even stronger than these overseers, yet they dutifully mined there.

Li Yanchu witnessed the destruction of many mortal realms, with the earth, fire, water, and wind repeating themselves, yet the turmoil had not subsided.

However, in the rest of the mortal realm, academies have been established outside the realm, various stone tablets have been erected, and lectures have been spread everywhere.

Li Yanchu only listened for a short while before feeling she couldn't take it anymore.

The gist of this proclamation is that the Hao Realm is facing a calamity.
These extraordinary beings from beyond the realm have come to save the universe from calamities; their merits are as high as the heavens and as deep as the earth, immeasurable.

What Li Yanchu saw along the way was shocking.

He also saw many desolate places, the ground stained with blood, and javelins with the heads of Haojie rebels stuck in them, their deaths extremely gruesome.

Looking around, there are probably no fewer than ten million lives lost, and the expanse stretches for thousands of miles, seemingly with no end in sight.

During his visit to the Hao Realm, he saw that the Hao Realm was undergoing a large-scale renovation, with everyone changing into clothing from other realms.

Many of the buildings, once magnificent and grand, bearing the hallmarks of the original civilization of the Hao Realm, have now been smashed or burned.
They built another new palace, all in a rugged, foreign style, with a wild and untamed feel, but not exquisite.

Li Yanchu sighed.

"Destroying the local culture and completely accepting foreign cultures is tantamount to the extinction of the race."

The more Li Yanchu looked, the more alarmed he became, as if he were witnessing the future of Jingjie.

"If Jingjie is defeated, things will probably not be much better."

Li Yanchu traveled along the road and came to a vast place with a magnificent Dao landscape. There stood a tall Dao tree, its leaves lush and green, ancient and vigorous, indicating that the person who lived there must have had extraordinary cultivation.

At this moment, the Dao Tree was devoid of life. Many corpses hung on its huge branches. When the wind blew, they were densely packed together, looking like leaves. However, the sight was shocking.

Li Yanchu grabbed a person from the Hao Realm and asked, "Who are these people in these trees?"

Although the Haojie man was tall, upon seeing Li Yanchu, he immediately lowered his head and prostrated himself on the ground, respectfully saying, "Reporting to Your Excellency, these are all rebellious individuals with treacherous intentions. They disregarded the trend of unification and rebelled against the Holy Domain, and were therefore executed."

As Li Yanchu observed the trees, the higher the rank of the people, the more distinguished they seemed to be. He pointed and asked, "Who are those people?"

The man from Haojie looked up, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Yanchu's gaze, and respectfully said, "They were all traitors who surrendered and then chose to rebel, and therefore they were executed."

Li Yanchu's gaze darkened. The corpse on top possessed powerful Dao aura, even though it was already dead.

However, it is still evident that he possessed extraordinary cultivation during his lifetime, at least being immortal.

Li Yanchu glanced at the list and found that a total of forty-three immortals had been hanged on this Dao tree.

“Those who reach the Immortal Realm are all outstanding talents, the cream of the crop, yet they were executed just like that,” Li Yanchu sighed.

He was unaware that some of these people were powerful figures who had surrendered with the Crown Prince of Haojie.

However, he was later killed by the Crown Prince of Haojie with the help of other beings from beyond the realm, for some reason.

The extraterrestrial beings harbor treacherous ambitions; they will not allow many immortals to remain in the Hao Realm.
These forces must be eliminated!
However, now it's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Let some people attack others.

After reading it, Li Yanchu felt a mix of emotions, not knowing what to feel.

He glanced at the Haojie person lying on the ground, then turned and left.

"Today's Haojie is tomorrow's Jingjie; we must never allow such a tragedy to happen."

His steps seemed somewhat heavy.
