Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 730 Avenue
Inside the Hall of Reception, the immortals remained silent, and the gods were all still.

As Earth Immortals, and the best among them, they had never been subjected to such coercion before, not to mention that they now represent various pantheons.

But one has to admit that the other party does indeed have the resources to do so.

The People's Education system established the Way, and the academies governed the world. Over a hundred thousand years, it laid an incredibly solid foundation. Not only were criminal laws and regulations deeply rooted in people's hearts and the power of life and death firmly in their hands, but it also cultivated a large number of promising young talents.

Putting aside everything else, Li Junqing was originally just a True Immortal. Although he cultivated the three religions, his talent was only considered above average. He achieved True Immortal status through the Alliance with Heaven and the Great Vow to Save the World, and he had almost no hope of stepping into the Earth Immortal realm.

However, after joining the Myriad Paths Academy, with the immense blessing of her calamity, she managed to reach the Earth Immortal realm, leaving Ren Baimei and other True Immortals, whose talents far surpassed hers, far behind.

Even a glimpse through a tube reveals just how profound the accumulation of knowledge and experience over the past 100,000 years at the Wandao Academy has been.

Without the support of celestial beings, none of the various pantheons present would be a match for him, and even if they were united, they might not be able to contend with him.

Although this assumption is no longer valid, as they possess the peak combat power of Celestial Immortals, can Celestial Immortals guarantee complete safety?

Their actions, which threaten the major pantheons, are not without purpose or sufficient support.
For a moment, all the immortals and gods were caught in a dilemma.

To obey or not to obey?

If they don't comply, they'll have to break off all ties. The other side has a sense of righteousness and might very well label them as a second Brahma sect. People will hate them, heaven and earth will reject them, and under such intense infighting, even celestial beings might not be able to withstand it.

If so, then everything must be handed over, creating a powerful figure who acts on behalf of Heaven, which will also bring endless harm.

Such concern is not because they are short-sighted or unaware of the relative importance of the matter, but because those in positions of power have a duty to fulfill and there are certain things they cannot help but consider.

Yes, that Golden Immortal Demon Fruit is indeed a great calamity. The transformation of the Three Phases into a Demon will inevitably endanger all living beings and even destroy the world. Even immortals and gods may not be able to escape this calamity. It is an existence that must be eliminated.

But you can't remove it like this!

If all the lords of the various realms have returned, there is naturally no problem with doing so. Even if they still have to be in charge, the major pantheons will accept it reluctantly.

But now that the leaders of the various factions have not returned, his actions will only result in two outcomes: failure or success.

Needless to say, the former's death is not a problem, but he may aid the enemy, weaken the power of the Heavenly Dao, and allow the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit and the Three-Phase Demon God to grow stronger, making the situation even more difficult to manage.

As for the latter, if he succeeds, he will be the Heavenly Emperor who eliminates demons with all his might and holds great power. But what if, after eliminating the demons, he takes advantage of the situation and turns his attention to the divine lineages that once divided up the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit, saying that he must eliminate the demons completely?

Although this may seem like a cynical view, there are some things you have to prepare for the worst.

Unable to advance, unable to retreat, caught in a dilemma!
Right here...

"boom!!!"

As if struck by a thunderclap, everyone's divine senses were instantly elevated, and they arrived at a strange and extraordinary realm.

Everyone, truly everyone, not just the immortals and gods in the Reception Hall, but all the beings in the entire Blue Star Realm who possess the wisdom of the nine orifices, had their thoughts and consciousness sublimated at this moment and stepped into that strange place.

Where is that?

No one knows!

All that could be seen were myriad strange phenomena: talismans, ancient seal script, array patterns, magic seals, square steles, the principles of heaven and earth, the laws of the world, and their tangible manifestations.

Amidst all the strange phenomena, a figure appeared, practicing the Dao and refining techniques. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth rose up in a myriad of colors, transforming into Yin and Yang, black and white Tai Chi, merging martial arts and immortality into one, and resonating with the Dao of humanity and the Dao of Heaven.

Then came a myriad of arts and crafts, the myriad creations of nature, first appearing a majestic immortal city, then a distant celestial palace, and a holy sword emerging from the sky, connecting heaven and earth above, responding to the hearts of men below, the sun, moon, stars, grass, trees, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas...

Strange phenomena, strange phenomena, all kinds of strange phenomena, are signs of the Great Dao!

"This is……"

"The Great Dao manifests?"

"Strange phenomena in the heavens and earth?"

"A sage will be born?"

"He... succeeded!?"

Immortal Venerable Miaole's pupils shrank, and the others were even more horrified, staring at the figure amidst the myriad strange phenomena, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The Great Dao manifests, and extraordinary phenomena appear in heaven and earth!
Legend has it that when a sage is born, there will be extraordinary phenomena in the world.

This legend is true, but the so-called saint is not the saint known to the world, but a holy being who is the master of the Way.

In short, they are celestial immortals, celestial immortals who have attained enlightenment. Once such beings are born, the Great Dao will surely manifest, creating extraordinary phenomena in the world, and guiding all living beings and spirits in the world to witness the birth of the Lord of the Great Dao.

To put it simply, it's a live broadcast of the Heavenly Dao, a live broadcast guided by the Heavenly Dao to all living beings and spirits, witnessing the birth of a celestial being.

So at this moment, is it the leader of the Human Sect who has achieved the Great Dao of Celestial Immortality?
This is the only possibility!
After ten thousand years, he has finally reached this point.

Although this is beyond common sense, and no immortal, Buddha, or saint in history has ever achieved such speed, attaining the Great Dao in just 100,000 years, this person is not conventional to begin with. Now that he has set a precedent again, it is only natural, and everyone is already mentally prepared.

Despite the preparations, I was still deeply shocked by this extraordinary phenomenon.

All paths and methods ultimately lead back to their origin!
It seemed like a fleeting moment, yet also like millennia. After an unknown period of time, the strange phenomena vanished, leaving only a wisp of chaos, which was the primordial Qi. Then, it erupted with a roar, revealing a figure and a green lotus within.

That figure was incredibly majestic and imposing. Even in the chaos, without the contrast of heaven and earth, it still appeared extremely enormous, with bulging muscles that contained immense power, as if it were born to be a manifestation of strength.

That blue lotus, born alongside him, contains the vitality of creation and seems to be the embodiment of ultimate truth. The blue lotus sways amidst chaos, exuding boundless Daoist charm, like the seed of the world and the root of heaven and earth, possessing infinite power.

Suddenly, the man moved, grasping the green lotus and transforming it into a giant axe. With immense power, he cleaved through the chaos, finally shattering it and revealing yin and yang, earth, wind, fire, and water, heaven and earth, black and yellow...

Everything seemed both real and unreal, like a dream or a bubble, yet also like a record of time.

All living beings and spirits watched, their minds momentarily dazed, unknowingly becoming immersed in it.

In the end, only one figure remained between heaven and earth, neither human nor immortal, indescribable and beyond description.

When all beings feel something, chapters suddenly appear in their minds. "There is something undifferentiated, which existed before heaven and earth."

"Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging, moving in cycles without ceasing; it can be considered the mother of all things."

"Its name is unknown, so we call it the Way, and we call it the Great."

“Greatness is called passing away; passing away is called going far away; going far away is called returning.”

"Therefore, the Way is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and Man is also great."

"There are four great things in the realm, and humanity is one of them..."

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature!"

Once revealed, the principles are explained.

The extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao—this was his extraordinary phenomenon of the Great Dao.

Which road leads to?

The Way of Heaven, the Way of Humanity, and the Way of the Supreme Being!

Immediately, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and purple mist rose from the east, filling the vast sky.

After an unknown period of time, all the strange phenomena disappeared, and everyone's thoughts returned to normal. The events of the past seemed like a dream, both real and unreal.

Inside the Hall of Reception, all the immortals and gods were also awakened.

However, after waking up, there was still silence; the immortals were silent, and the gods were speechless.

At that very moment, a resounding voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"My path has been perfected. I have preached the Dharma for three thousand years. Three thousand years from now, I will follow the will of Heaven and the people, and vanquish demons and eliminate calamities!"

The overwhelming voice set the tone, rendering all scheming and calculation, all weighing of interests, pale in comparison, suppressed by its sheer force and vanishing into thin air.

"Dao Master..."

Jun Qing murmured something, then turned his gaze to the assembled immortals and gods: "That's all I have to say. Everyone, take care of yourselves!"

Having said that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he turned and stepped out of the Reception Hall.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone remained silent, and after a long while, a long sigh was heard.

"That's all!"

Immortal Venerable Miaole sighed and then strode away.

Seeing this, the other immortals and gods said nothing and silently left.

But though he didn't say it outright, his thoughts were constantly flowing in secret.

"This person has finally succeeded!"

"After ten thousand years, one becomes a celestial being, achieving the great Dao. Even with the help of calamities, it is still inconceivable. No immortal, Buddha, or saint throughout history has ever been able to do this."

"His origins must be extraordinary; he must have rebuilt the Great Dao to have made such progress!"

"A celestial being from beyond the realm, arriving to face a calamity, rebuilding his Great Dao, intending to vanquish demons—is there truly such a coincidence in this world?"

"Whether it's a coincidence or a conspiracy, it's all set in stone now."

"He has achieved the status of a celestial being and attained the Great Dao, yet there are no tribulations or tests from Heaven and Earth. This shows that the Mandate of Heaven has completely favored him, and there is no question of trials. In fact, Heaven will bestow merit upon him to help him achieve the Dao!"

"Destiny, destiny..."

"His extraordinary phenomenon just now was very similar to that of the Taiqing Dao Master of the Xuanmen Immortal Court!"

"I've said it before, this person also cultivates the Way of Taiji. Wuji gives rise to Taiji, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Three Powers, Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Way, and the Way follows Nature. He and that Master of Taiqing are on the same path."

"Is Miaole really going to give in to him by leaving like this?"

"When the situation is stronger than you, what good is resistance?"

"This person's methods are unpredictable, and he also has the power of destiny. Even when he was an Earth Immortal, he could suppress the whole situation. Even the Dao Lords who entered the world earlier were unwilling to confront him head-on. Now that he has attained the Great Dao and become a Heaven Immortal, perhaps only the Supreme Beings of each Dao can compete with him. Ordinary Heaven Immortals are probably no match for him."

"The Lord of Taiqing has not yet returned, and the Immortal Emperor of the Xuanmen Immortal Court is still nowhere to be found. If we do not temporarily endure and submit to him, we may really suffer his cruel hand and end up like the Brahma sect."

"Hmph, no matter what, he is still just one person. Although he has gained the power of destiny through the demonic calamity, this power will not last forever. Once the demonic calamity is over and his fortune dissipates, if he still does not know how to restrain himself, the supreme beings of all realms will make him realize the consequences!"

"Take a step and take a look!"

"..."

The departure of various pantheons and lineages, along with a host of immortals and gods, has stirred up a storm of undercurrents.

But how can mere undercurrents stop the mighty tide?
After a long hiatus, the live broadcast resumed, attracting countless immortals and sages from all corners of the world to the palace to listen to the teachings of Taoism.

At the same time, in all the heavens and myriad realms, in the chaotic void, three golden lights burst forth, carrying all sorts of strange phenomena, traversing the chaotic void, heading straight for one realm.
