Chapter 1731 A Trivial Matter
Cuibei City, the Supreme Daoist Gate.

After defeating the Supreme Dao Lord, the Yin-Yang Dao Lord declared that he would destroy this place in ten days, causing many disciples to flee.

The Supreme Daoist sect is now defunct in name only, and even the Supreme Daoist Master has moved to a different residence and is no longer so high-profile.

However, Yin Yang Daojun clearly did not pursue the matter to the bitter end, and after seeing the situation, he knew when to stop.

She knew that the Supreme One had powerful backers. She could force the Supreme One's sect to disband, but she couldn't go too far, otherwise it would incur the dissatisfaction of the Supreme One's backers.

At this time, the Supreme Dao Lord had already moved to live in the mortal realm.

Although Cuibei City has two Dao Lords, the Yanfu Dao Lord and the Xujie Dao Lord, they are still very wary of the Dao Lord from beyond the realm. They only dare to cautiously probe and secretly accumulate power, not daring to overturn the table.

Therefore, he never intervened in the struggle between the Yin-Yang Dao Lord and the Supreme Dao Lord.

The Dao leaders maintained a tacit understanding with each other.

At this time, the Supreme Dao Lord resided in the mortal realm at Jade Screen Mountain.

Yuping Mountain is majestic and filled with immortal energy. The Supreme Dao Lord only brought a dozen or so disciples here, who were the only remaining disciples who had not defected from the Supreme Dao Sect.

These dozen or so disciples followed the Supreme Dao Lord wholeheartedly. After receiving his careful guidance, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and they benefited greatly.

Of course, not all of these dozen or so disciples were going to live or die with the Supreme Dao Lord.
Some of them were opportunists who knew that if they didn't leave at this time, they might gain even greater benefits, so they continued to follow the Supreme Dao Lord.

The Supreme Dao Lord was cultivating in Jade Screen Mountain at this time.

After his last defeat, he has toned down his sharpness considerably.

Originally, she believed she could easily suppress the Five Great Dao Lords after her rebirth, so she wasn't in a hurry to recover.

But who would have thought that their trip to the Jingjie Universe would end in such an unexpected and devastating defeat?
After returning, he founded the Supreme Daoist Sect in Cuibei City and recruited many disciples, but unexpectedly he was defeated by the Yin-Yang Daoist Lord, and his face was shattered.

However, this actually helped her to break through her mental state.

Instead of becoming depressed, she seemed to have calmed down and began to carefully restore her cultivation level and hone her supernatural abilities.

As a result, her cultivation level recovered by leaps and bounds.

In a short period of time, he not only refined the Dao injury left by the Yin-Yang Dao Lord, but even approached the level he had reached back then.

However, at this point, no matter how hard the Supreme Dao Lord tried, she could not regain her former realm. She sighed inwardly.
"Back then, my realm was high because I cultivated Taiyi. Taiyi Dao is the ancestor of all Daos. With it as the foundation, one can evolve all Daos. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reclaim my Taiyi Dao now."

It took her 60,000 years to cultivate the Great Dao of Taiyi to the Immortal Realm, and even if she were to start over now, it wouldn't be so simple.

Moreover, after she attained the Great Dao twice, it became significantly more difficult to cultivate the Great Dao of Taiyi. She has already realized this. The most suitable way to cultivate Taiyi is to start from the basics. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to cultivate it after attaining immortality.

"Now that I have attained the Supreme Realm three times, there is no way I can sever my own realm and start over as the Supreme One. Alas, what a pity for my Supreme One body."

Upon realizing this, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

If Li Yanchu hadn't interfered last time, she could have easily suppressed Jingjie and retrieved Taiyi Dao Body with her strength.

When the time comes to fight Yin Yang Dao Jun, he won't lose so quickly, and now he can even recover his former strength.

It's all because of that little Taoist priest!

The Supreme Dao Lord's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"The Dao Lord of the Void Realm forced me to make a Great Dao Oath, swearing to him that I would not harm that little Daoist's partner, but I secretly revealed the news of the Taiyi True Inheritance, so it has nothing to do with me."

Then she began to preach to her disciples.

Several disciples listened to the Supreme Daoist Master preach the Dharma.

The Supreme Dao Lord said, "Above the Supreme is the Great One, and the Great One is the ancestor of all laws. In the past, your master also cultivated to the immortal realm, but unfortunately..."

Jian Jiu quickly asked, "Master, what's the pity?"

The Supreme Dao Lord said, "It's a pity that my master was ambushed back then and was seriously injured, so he cut off his Taiyi Dao Body. Now this Taiyi Dao Body has gone to the Great Thousand Universe and given birth to an independent consciousness. It can't be taken back."

"Otherwise, we could have recovered our cultivation levels back then, and we wouldn't be trapped in Cuibei Mountain."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Another disciple, Lü Ji, asked, "Master, I wonder in which universe that Taiyi Dao technique was lost?"

The Supreme Dao Lord said, "In the Jingjie Universe, you have become the Empress. It is a pity that I have made an agreement with someone that I will not take back the Supreme Dao Body. So be it, let's leave it at that."

Lu Ji said, "Please, Master, teach us the Taiyi Dao technique. This disciple is eager to witness the power of Taiyi!"

The Supreme Lord, looking utterly disheartened, said, “My karmic ties with the Great Dao of Taiyi are too deep. Now that I have lost it, I am unwilling to pass on this Dao. You should all give up on this idea.”

The disciples wanted to persist, but the Supreme Dao Lord, with his imposing presence, turned and left.

The disciples looked at each other, none daring to ask any more questions.

Jian Jiu didn't have any particular intentions; he was indeed wholeheartedly devoted to following the Supreme Dao Lord. However, Lü Ji and another disciple, Yue Jin, were discussing things in private.

“Being a disciple of the Great Dao Lord sounds prestigious, but in reality, we have neither the resources to follow this Dao Lord nor the willingness to transmit the true teachings. Being a true disciple of the Great Dao Lord is a frustrating job,” Lu Ji said.

Yue Jin said, "The Supreme Daoist Sect is a joke. In Cuibei City, I thought I would have the merit of following the dragon, but I didn't expect that the Supreme Daoist Lord would be almost razed to the ground by the Yin-Yang Daoist Lord alone."

“We are still a thorn in the side of Yin Yang Dao Jun. If he finds out that we are following the Supreme Dao Lord in cultivation, our lives will probably be in danger.”

These two disciples received the grace of the Supreme Dao Lord's teachings, yet they did not think of repaying it; they were not virtuous people.

After receiving the news today, my mind started to wander.

Lu Ji said, "The true lineage of Taiyi is currently only in the Jing Realm. Why don't we go to the Jing Realm together?"

Yue Jin hesitated and said, "But that Jing Realm is extremely dangerous. Several Dao Lords have died there. If we go to seize the Taiyi True Inheritance, I'm afraid we won't come back alive."

Lu Ji frowned and said, "The Jingjie man Li Yanchu who challenged the heroes earlier is a vicious killer. If we offend him, we won't have a good outcome. But this Taiyi True Inheritance is just too tempting."

The Great Dao of Taiyi is one of the nine innate Daos, and it has never been passed down in the entire outer realm.

Now that they know the only true teachings are in the Jing Realm, these powerful figures from beyond the realm are naturally eager to learn more.

After discussing it for a while, Lü Ji gritted her teeth and said, "Never mind, let's go to Jingjie secretly. No matter how powerful Li Yanchu is, he can't stay in Jingjie forever. We can capture the Empress and take back the Taiyi True Inheritance without anyone knowing."

Yue Jin still had a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Although he was tempted, Li Yanchu's fearsome reputation made him somewhat worried. Lü Ji asked, "Brother Yue, what do you think? Shall we go together on this important matter, seize the Taiyi True Inheritance, and study it together?"

Yue Jin gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

Two of the dozen or so remaining disciples of the Taiyi Sect escaped. Jian Jiu was furious upon hearing this and was about to chase after them when he was stopped by the Supreme Dao Lord.

The Supreme Dao Lord said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and we cannot force them to stay. Let the disciples who wish to leave go with them."

Jian Jiu was helpless.

Among them, he had the strongest cultivation, approaching that of a Dao Lord.

Since his master had spoken, he had no choice but to bow respectfully and say, "Master is magnanimous, and your disciple will follow your teachings."

Following this, several more disciples of the Supreme Daoist sect defected, leaving only eight remaining.

Jian Jiu was somewhat angry about this, but his master said that the coming together and parting of fates are all due to cause and effect, so Jian Jiu did not pursue the matter further.

Stay by the side of the Supreme Dao Lord and cultivate in peace.

Seeing so many disciples depart, the Supreme Dao Lord felt a surge of joy: "These people all have relatives and friends; once the news of the Taiyi True Transmission in the Jing Realm spreads..."

…………

The Great Luo Heaven, the Gate of Reincarnation.

At this time, the mountain gate was deserted, with only two or three boys present.

One of the gatekeepers had already slipped away to the mortal realm to wreak havoc; these few were brought back by the Firebell Fairy.

Firebell Fairy was previously sent to the Heavenly Demon Ruins and did not go to the Scenery Realm, thus escaping a calamity.

At this moment, Fairy Firebell returned from outside, hurriedly burning incense and praying. The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation manifested a huge face and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Now that Firebell Fairy is her only disciple, his tone softened slightly.

Firebell Fairy said, "Master, I have received news that the true disciple of Taiyi is in the Jing Realm. You can come back and report."

The Lord of Reincarnation asked, "The True Inheritance of Taiyi?"

Firebell Fairy recounted the information she had gathered.
Upon hearing this, the Reincarnation Dao Lord gave her a cold look and said, "What are you so excited about?"

Fire Bell Fairy was originally a disciple on whom the Great Dao of Reincarnation placed high hopes, and now she has become the only disciple. Her master has been giving her a lot of guidance during this period, which has made her more confident.

At this moment, Fairy Firebell was not afraid at all. Instead, she mustered her courage and said, "Now that there is no Taiyi cultivation method in the Holy Domain, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to seize this true teaching?"

After a moment of silence, the Lord of Reincarnation asked, "Who's going?"

Now that I am the only one left in my cycle of reincarnation, do you intend to go to the Realm of Rebirth?

Firebell Fairy opened her mouth wide and was speechless. Over the years, she had become accustomed to having her senior brothers standing in front of her in the sect. At this moment, the mountain gate was deserted, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Firebell Fairy lowered her hands and said, "It was disciple who was a little impatient."

The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation did not continue to reprimand his disciple, but said, "This news was obviously leaked by someone. It is obvious that it was done by the Supreme One. Perhaps she joined forces with Li Yanchu to lure a group of people to the Jing Realm to kill them and help him cultivate the Dao of Slaughter."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Firebell was shocked. She couldn't believe such a thing had happened. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The Supreme Lord's mind is so filthy!"

The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation said, "Don't underestimate Tai Shang. She has supporters backing her now, and she was the strongest among the Great Dao Lords back then."

He spoke of his past with complete candor and without any concealment, because he is now stronger than ever before, even more powerful than when he stood at the pinnacle. Talking about the past is not a disgrace, but rather an honor.

Firebell Fairy bowed deeply and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."

The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation said, "A mere trick, and you think you can lure the immortals of my Holy Domain to their deaths?"

"The Supreme Being's schemes are too shallow and crude, and so are these barbarians in the lower realm."

Firebell Fairy flattered, "Master is indeed sharp-minded, seeing through the intentions of these two thieves at a glance."

Lord Samsara smiled slightly, and Fairy Firebell said again, "Master, should I spread the word to prevent powerful figures from the Holy Domain from going to the Realm of Scenery?"

The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation shook his head: "No need, let whoever wants to go go. I want to see if the other Great Dao Lords can sit still. My Reincarnation Dao Sect was completely trapped in the Realm of Scenery before, which made them laugh. I'm afraid they won't dare to make a move this time."

Although the Lord of the Cycle of Reincarnation felt that the other Great Dao Sects sending experts might have fallen into the trap set by Li Yanchu and the Supreme One,
But he believed that those few Great Dao Lords were unlikely to fall for the trap.

Sure enough, in other places, such as Longshan Temple where the Creator Daoist resides, after hearing this news, the Creator Daoist strictly ordered his disciples not to go to the Jingjie.

The situation within the Realm of Reincarnation is unknown. Over a hundred Immortals have already perished, including Gu Yan Daojun of the Samsara Dao Sect.

The death of Daojun Guyan was a great shock to people. It also meant that even the strongest disciples of their sect might die there if they went there themselves, unless they went there in person. However, it would not be in accordance with the status of a Daojun if they went there themselves. Therefore, this matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

The Great Dao Lord of Creation strictly ordered his disciples not to believe or be misled by rumors and to go to the Realm of Scenery.

The three Great Dao Lords, Yin Yang, God and Demon, and Life and Death, also strictly ordered their disciples: "At this time, there is a great calamity surrounding the outer realms. Do not easily face the calamity."

The Five Great Dao Sects remained silent, and even some True Kings and Immortals with keen senses suppressed their thoughts.

Even Lü Ji and Yue Jin, who were the first to learn of the news, did not take action. They changed their minds four or five times over this matter alone. Sometimes they said they would go, but when the time came, they said they would back out, or that they would wait and see. In the end, the two of them released the news, wanting others to test the waters.

But even though they stood guard at the ferry crossing, they didn't see a single boat heading towards Jingjie.

The whereabouts of Jingjie are currently unknown, and its exact location has not been determined. Searching for Jingjie in the chaotic sea of ​​stars would be a long process, not to mention that once you reach Jingjie, you might be harmed by someone.

Therefore, although the news spread widely and the Great Dao of Taiyi was extremely attractive, the group lacked interest in going to the Star Sea to find the Realm of Scenery.

In particular, the attitude of the Five Great Daoist sects is unclear. The outer realms are not peaceful now, so many immortals have died, and people are in a state of panic.

Since the Five Great Dao Sects did not send anyone out, the other immortals naturally dared not act rashly.

After hearing the news in Lingxu, Li Yanchu went to the ferry himself, but he learned from his own Dao body that no one was going to Jingjie.

"The Supreme Dao Lord is so despicable, harming others without benefiting himself!" Li Yanchu couldn't help but curse.

However, from another perspective, it can also be seen that the Supreme Dao Lord is very wary of this Dao oath, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble.

"You swore an oath to the Great Dao, but I did not. The Five Great Dao Lords are at their peak, and I wish to challenge them. Why not start with you!" Li Yanchu's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
Last time, he defeated Taishang only with the blessing of Heaven, but now that he has made progress in his cultivation, he can't help but want to challenge Taishang with his true cultivation.
