Chapter 1786 Dao Domain Token
Li Yanchu wanted to stay out of it and observe the rise and fall of foreign lands with a detached eye, but things in this world are often not so satisfactory.

He also saw many strange things above the sea of ​​stars, some like mirages, some like scenes of time travel, especially recently.

Li Yanchu realized something was wrong.

"Perhaps it's related to my cultivation of the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space, which allows me to see more than others."

That day, he saw a terrifying scene.

A vast universe appeared before his eyes.

Enveloped in ethereal mist, the area is dotted with numerous celestial mountains, surrounded by galaxies, creating a vast and vibrant universe.

Li Yanchu recognized him immediately.

"Isn't this Jingjie?"

Although it was just a picture, he felt a vague unease in his heart.

He saw Fang Youqing, Fang Qinglan, Cuihua, Yunniang, Nuwa, and a group of powerful figures from the Jing Realm, each wielding their magical treasures as if facing a formidable enemy!
The next moment, a large hand appeared.

This enormous hand is beyond description; it contains terrifying laws and possesses immense power.

This giant hand appeared out of nowhere; it was unclear who had attacked Jingjie.

As the giant hand descended, the sun, moon, stars, and Milky Way of the realm fell into its grasp.

All the myriad realms within the realm of phenomena were annihilated and reduced to ashes by this enormous hand.

After witnessing this scene, Li Yanchu felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

After obliterating the landscape, the giant hand did not stop, but continued to move on to another place and disappeared from the scene.

Li Yanchu was greatly surprised.
"Is this a vision of the future? Will a giant hand one day annihilate the entire realm?"

He felt somewhat shocked.

"To destroy such a vast universe as the Jing Realm with a single strike is something even a Dao Lord could never do; at least I simply don't have that kind of power," Li Yanchu thought to himself.

"Who exactly is the owner of that giant hand? Why did he want to destroy the Jing Realm? Was it the work of the Three Great Dao Lords?"

At this moment, many thoughts arose in Li Yanchu's mind.

Several days later, he saw a large ship above the starry sea, with only five people on board.

Standing at the bow of the ship was a young couple. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman had a graceful figure. She wore a long, slit dress that revealed her long, white legs, making one's heart flutter.

This was a woman who was unforgettable at first sight; she was none other than Chen Sui and Yu Shu, whom they had met in the Hong Realm that day.

Li Yanchu recognized the two people, and there were three more behind them.

One of them was a tall woman, Gong Feiyan, who had been saved by Li Yanchu.

Gong Feiyan instigated rebellions across multiple realms; she was a legendary figure.

Although she was not exceptionally beautiful, she was resolute and extremely courageous, and truly accomplished great things.

Beside her were two men: a dignified middle-aged man and a Taoist priest wearing a fish-tail crown and holding a whisk.

Li Yanchu had never seen these two people before, yet their auras were also at the Dao Lord realm.
Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised.

The calamities in this foreign land have indeed intensified, and now they are probably comparable to those of ancient times.

At that time, the foreign lands had not yet formed the current situation.

After returning from studying the Dao in the Hongjie Realm, they had many powerful figures, unlike now where there are only three Dao Lords.

Upon seeing Li Yanchu, the young men and women on the boat immediately ordered their men to bring the boat over.

Yu Shu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Yanchu.

"Fellow Daoist Li."

Li Yanchu returned the greeting and said hello to him.

The women on the boat, Chen Sui and Gong Feiyan, also greeted Li Yanchu, and Li Yanchu returned their greetings one by one.

When he wasn't turning hostile and killing, he did indeed appear very easygoing, without the slightest hint of malice.

Yu Shu asked, "Why is Fellow Daoist Li wandering alone in the sea of ​​stars?"

Li Yanchu said, "The foreign land is becoming increasingly chaotic, I just came out to get some fresh air."

Chen Sui laughed and said, "Under the great calamity, no one can escape. If you want to watch from the sidelines, you will eventually be caught up in the calamity and sink deeper and deeper."

The woman's words revealed Li Yanchu's current predicament, which startled Li Yanchu, and she couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

She didn't avoid Li Yanchu's gaze at all; instead, she subtly pulled her skirt up, making her legs appear even longer.

She was indeed a stunning beauty who could captivate all.

Li Yanchu noticed that the two men behind her didn't dare to look at her at all, showing her great respect and avoiding her gaze.

“Interesting, this woman seems to be of higher status than them.”

Li Yanchu pondered this for a moment, then asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, you have such a deep understanding of the calamities of other realms, may I ask where this knowledge comes from?"

Chen Sui blinked: "Naturally, it comes from the vast universe."

Then she introduced the three people behind her to Li Yanchu.
"You've all met Gong Feiyan before; she is the Heavenly Emperor of the Hidden Realm."

She pointed to the imposing man.

Li Yanchu frowned.

The two who caused the most trouble during the rebellion were Gong Feiyan and the Hidden Heavenly Emperor.

Not only did they rebel, but they also blocked the coordinates of those outside the realm, causing both realms to disappear without a trace and lose contact with the other realm.

Chen Sui continued, "This is Liang Daozu of the Jade Realm."

The Taoist priest remained calm, but quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare."

He was indeed very respectful to this woman, Chen Sui, and dared not overstep his bounds in addressing her.

Li Yanchu's gaze then fell upon Chen Sui, who seemed to be hiding many secrets.

Li Yanchu asked, "Where exactly are you all headed?"

Chen Sui said, "I'm sending these three fellow Daoists to a foreign land to undergo tribulations."

Li Yanchu was surprised.

The calamity in this foreign land is now intense and escalating. People are trying to escape it, yet some are going to face it.
Chen Sui smiled and said, "How can we cultivators strengthen our resolve to seek the Dao without undergoing countless trials and tribulations?"

Li Yanchu noticed that the three people behind her did not show any fear upon hearing this, but there was a hint of worry between their brows. Clearly, the calamity from the otherworld was intense, and they were also very wary of it.

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "Interesting. With their Dao Lord's cultivation level, why would they come to this foreign land against their will?"

In Li Yanchu's view, their rebellion was going well, but coming to a foreign land was actually disadvantageous.

Moreover, judging from Chen Sui's words, it seemed that the three of them were more like they were here for a trial.

Thinking of this, Li Yanchu couldn't help but find it amusing. Did they really need trials with their cultivation levels?

Yu Shu looked at Li Yanchu, then exchanged a glance with Chen Sui, before taking out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant has a unique design and an ancient and grand appearance. Yu Shu said, "Fellow Daoist Li, Chen Sui was just joking with you. We are not from the Great Thousand Universe, but from the Dao Domain. This is a token for going to the Dao Domain. I am giving it to you in the hope that you can go there someday."

Li Yanchu took the jade pendant, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Dao domain?"

He examined the jade pendant in his hand; there was a strange aura emanating from it.

He then noticed envious looks in the eyes of Gong Feiyan, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor, and the Daoist Master Liang.

Gong Feiyan was somewhat better off, but the Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor and Daoist Liang's eyes immediately showed expressions of jealousy.

Li Yanchu said, "I don't know exactly where the domain is, so I can't accept this token."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Gong Feiyan, the Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor, and the Daoist Master Liang became quite interesting.

Just as Chen Sui was about to speak, Yu Shu took the jade pendant back and said with a smile, "Our fate hasn't arrived yet; we can only wait for the next time."

Chen Sui looked at Yu Shu with a very strange expression.

Yu Shu put away the jade pendant, cupped his hands to Li Yanchu and said, "We are leaving now. Be careful of someone called Little Celestial Venerable."

Li Yanchu asked, "Little Celestial Venerable? Who is he?"

Unlike when discussing the Dao Domain issue, Yu Shu did not evade the question at this time. Instead, he frankly said, "He is the direct descendant of the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Hong Realm. The Great Heavenly Venerable is the leader of the Hong Realm and has been missing for a long time. You have a deep-seated hatred for the Hong Realm, and this little Heavenly Venerable may be detrimental to you."

After speaking, Li Yanchu nodded slightly.

Yu Shu and the others left on a multi-story ship, waving goodbye to Li Yanchu from afar.

The two ships passed each other and gradually drifted apart.

...............

After Yu Shu and his group arrived in the foreign land, Yu Shu instructed them: "Everyone, this journey depends on your fate. I hope that we can become fellow travelers in the future."

The three men looked solemn and responded in unison. Then Yu Shu and Chen Sui left.

Only then did Chen Sui finally lose her temper.

The sexy and charming woman frowned slightly and asked, "Yu Shu, what exactly do you mean?"

Yu Shu spread his hands and laughed, "It's nothing."

Chen Sui said, "Since we've invited Li Yanchu, why not explain to him properly what a prosperous place Dao Domain is, a top-tier destination overseas, and use that to recruit him?"

Yu Shu said innocently, "This man is a hero who does not easily trust others. What use would it be if I spoke?"

Chen Sui said with dissatisfaction, "He's just a little cautious. Since you invited him, you should have explained the situation to him. He refused you because he didn't understand the situation. Why didn't you try to persuade him? If the Palace Master hadn't said that you would be in charge of this trip, I would have spoken up earlier."

Yu Shu said, "According to the rules, I gave him the jade pendant, but he didn't want it. What does that have to do with me?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Sui suddenly sneered, "What you told me earlier was a lie, wasn't it? You didn't genuinely appreciate his talent; you were just jealous of him."

Yu Shu said, "What makes you say that? He hasn't even entered the Dao Domain to cultivate yet, and his achievements are far behind mine. Why would I be jealous of him?"

Chen Sui became even more certain and sneered, "His talent in cultivating the Killing Calamity Destiny without any guidance is rare throughout history. Once he enters the Dao Domain to cultivate, he may even become a great figure comparable to the Palace Master. So you are worried that he will steal your thunder."

Yu Shu shook his head and said, "You underestimate me."

He seemed unwilling to argue further, but Chen Sui's gaze was sharp and piercing at this moment, so he sighed and said, "If I were jealous of him, would I kindly remind him to be careful of the Little Celestial Venerable?"

Chen Sui sneered: "How do you know you're not deliberately trying to sow discord between him and that Little Celestial Venerable of the Hong Realm?"

At this moment, Yu Shu's smile finally faded, and after a moment, he shook his head and said, "There's no way to reason with a woman."

Chen Sui said, "If you are truly a smart person, you should keep these words in mind."

Yu Shu was rebuffed, and his lips twitched. He said, "Junior Sister Chen, I've always been tolerant of you, but this time it concerns the rules of the Dao Domain. Why are you putting such a big label on me?"

Chen Sui chuckled coldly.

Yu Shu sighed and said, "Junior sister, don't you really understand how I treat you? Why do you question me for the sake of outsiders? Could it be that you've taken a liking to him?"

Chen Sui blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. So what if I have a crush on him? I only care about fairness, not personal feelings. Someone as narrow-minded and jealous as you..."

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Yu Shu was smarter this time and stopped responding no matter what Chen Sui said.

However, he overlooked one thing: when a woman really wants to cause you trouble, no matter what you do, it's wrong.

Chen Sui said coldly, "You're only silent now because you feel guilty. I'll definitely tell on you when we get back."

Yu Shu was on the verge of tears, unsure whether to answer or not.

...............

The three, Gong Feiyan and her companions, who had already arrived in this foreign land, remained together.

Recalling what had happened earlier, the three of them were still somewhat shocked.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "Why should that person be given a jade pendant from the Dao Domain directly? What's worse, he didn't even want it!"

Lord Liang also showed displeasure: "That's right. If we want to go to the Dao Domain, we need to go through trials. We have to come to the foreign land to face the tribulation and kill a Dao Lord. Why should he be able to obtain the qualification to go to the Dao Domain without doing anything?"

Gong Feiyan, however, did not say anything at this moment.
She was somewhat lost in thought. She had felt a surge of joy upon seeing Li Yanchu and had much to say, but the situation prevented her from saying more than a few words.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor was quite polite to this rebellious female Daoist Master. Seeing that she remained silent, he asked, "Daoist Master Gong, what are you thinking about?"

Gong Feiyan came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything. There's no point in saying more. The envoys from the Dao Domain naturally have their own standards of conduct. We still need to complete this tribulation as soon as possible."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly.

Master Liang said, "Killing a Dao Lord to face the calamity is no easy task. According to the envoy, besides the three Dao Lords, there are also the resurrected Dao Lords from the ancient era and the Dao Lord of the Hong Realm in the foreign land. None of them are easy to deal with."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "Lord Liang, don't boost the morale of others and diminish your own. We have learned some of the supernatural powers of the Dao Domain. You know that the Dao Domain's laws are profound. Whether dealing with Dao Lords of other domains or Dao Lords of the Hong Realm, we have a chance of victory."

Master Liang said, "It is true that the methods of the Dao Domain are profound, and even the coordinates of our universe can be shielded. But if we really have to fight these people, I still feel that life and death are uncertain."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor frowned and said, "You are also a hero of your own caliber, so why have you become so timid after coming to this foreign land?"

Master Liang shook his head and said, "Better safe than sorry. It's always good to be cautious."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor snorted: "In that case, let's all go our own way and not let anyone take advantage of anyone else."

He had already cultivated to the level of a Dao Lord in the lower realm and had been biding his time for many years. Now, full of vigor and ambition, it was time for him to make his mark.

Ever since he learned that there was a place called Dao Domain overseas, where the Dao techniques were advanced, he had been eager to try it out.

He wanted to go there to seek the Dao, and he was determined to complete this trial!

At this moment, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor strode away, his mind already calculating which enemy to deal with.

Seeing his appearance, Master Liang felt disdain.
"The extraterritorial calamity is escalating, and the three forces are entangled in a complicated situation. You actually see this as something so simple; you're a fool."

He then glanced at Gong Feiyan and asked, "Master Gong, do you intend to join forces or fight separately?"

Gong Feiyan said, "The envoy means that we should each face our own tribulations, and joining forces might be inconvenient."

She phrased it rather tactfully, and Daoist Liang nodded slightly upon hearing this, without showing any displeasure. He simply said, "Fellow Daoist Gong, be careful. The Otherworld is not like the Great Universe, especially now, under the calamity, no one can escape it."

Gong Feiyan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Daoist Liang."

Then, Lord Liang also broke through the void and disappeared into the foreign realm.

At this moment, the Palace Master couldn't help but turn around and look at Xinghai's location, trying to find that figure.

Unfortunately, the vast sea of ​​stars stretched to the horizon, and there was no sign of the Taoist priest in green robes.
