Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 737 The Founding of the Dao (Final Chapter)
This world, Taixuan Realm.

Divine Land, Celestial Immortal Path.

The six forbidden zones, once where immortals and Buddhas stopped and gods and demons avoided, are now reduced to only one remaining: the celestial realm.

Even so, it was difficult to save them. As the holy sword reached the sky, a head was reduced to ashes, and this forbidden zone of celestial beings became history.

"Victory, victory!"

"The six realms are annihilated! The six realms are annihilated!"

"With the calamity eradicated, there will be no more turmoil!"

"We won!"

Inside and outside the restricted area, countless cultivators were cheering, and some were even in tears.

Thirty thousand years, thirty thousand years.

Since the time when the Human Sect conquered the forbidden zones of Hell, these six forbidden zones were gradually pacified. Finally, 30,000 years later, the last Heavenly Immortal Path was razed to the ground, and the root of the calamity was completely eliminated.

From then on, the land of China was free from turmoil.

The sword hanging over our heads has been removed, which naturally brings immense joy.

however……

Within the Myriad Dao Heavenly Palace, Xu Yang remained silent, did not join in the revelry, and instead stepped into the void and departed.

The next instant, at Tai Xuan Sect, Longhu Mountain.

Before the mountain gate, a young Taoist priest silently swept up fallen leaves.

Suddenly, the void parted, and a person stepped out, standing right in front of the Taoist boy.

The young Taoist's eyes narrowed, his body stiffened abruptly, then returned to calm as he looked up at the newcomer: "You've come?"

Xu Yang nodded and said calmly, "I've arrived!"

"..."

The young Daoist was silent for a moment, then sighed, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. I struggled bitterly, seeking that sliver of hope, but in the end, it still ended like this."

Xu Yang remained indifferent and unmoved: "Cause and effect are cyclical, and the will of Heaven is predetermined. This is your karmic retribution!"

"Karma report?"

"Hahaha!"

The young Taoist smiled, then his expression turned sinister: "It's all about the victor taking all. I have lost, but you may not win either. When the great calamity comes, we will all be reduced to ashes."

"Then let's take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang said nothing more, and with a wave of his sleeve, Tai Chi appeared, directly suppressing him.

Upon seeing this, the young Taoist's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he helplessly returned to calm, letting the Tai Chi descend without offering any resistance, for it was destined to be futile.

He... was the supreme ruler of the Underworld Sect, the root of the turmoil in the Divine Land, the master of the Six Forbidden Zones, and the Six Heavenly Immortals who had merged with the cycle of reincarnation!

As early as 30,000 years ago, when Xu Yang pacified the forbidden zone of hell, he made arrangements to abandon the Golden Immortal body that he had painstakingly cultivated by sacrificing all living beings, and reincarnated as a young Taoist boy in Longhu Mountain.

He was very decisive and did not hesitate, because he knew very well that with Xu Yang's strength, it was only a matter of time before he could pacify the Six Forbidden Zones. He had to make plans early in order to have a chance of survival.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up his Golden Immortal body and give up everything to be reborn, just to get a chance to start over.

He truly deserves to be called the leader of a religion and the supreme master of a path, a powerful and ruthless figure who stirred up the winds and clouds in the upper realm and brought chaos to the living beings in the lower realm.

Unfortunately, he ran into Xu Yang!
Even though he deeply cultivated the Dao of Reincarnation and even used the Golden Immortal's power to influence heaven and earth and erase the traces of his reincarnation, he could not stop Xu Yang's divination of heavenly secrets.

After all, skill characteristics and external cheats are all part of the equation.

Therefore, after pacifying the Celestial Forbidden Zone and eliminating the scapegoats he had arranged, Xu Yang came to him, ready to nip the problem in the bud.

At this point, he was powerless to resist.

Xu Yang gave him no chance. With Tai Chi transformation and the Great Dao grinding away, he destroyed his true spirit and completely eradicated the root cause of the turmoil in the land.

Then...

"boom!!!"

With the destruction of the Lord of Reincarnation and the death of the Venerable One of the Underworld Sect, a great change occurred in the world of China. The principles of heaven and earth were altered and distorted by a certain force, and the laws of the world were restored accordingly.

Restoring order and connecting the two worlds!
The impasse that had lasted for countless millennia was broken, and a massive amount of spiritual energy descended from the sky, filling the five regions.

But along with this primordial spirit came a series of cold gazes, and a vast divine sense swept down, ready to sweep across the entire land of China.

They are celestial beings from the upper realm, with the leaders of the five religions at the head!
The demonic star fell, and the Divine Land sank. The Golden Immortal potential of the Underworld Lord was the root cause of the separation of the Tai Xuan World and the severing of the connection between Heaven and Earth. Now that Xu Yang has obliterated him, the principles of Heaven and Earth and the laws of the world have been restored. The severing of the connection between Heaven and Earth can no longer be maintained, and the two realms of the Upper Realm will naturally be connected.

The result of this connection was that a group of covetous celestial beings from the upper realms arrived in a fierce attack.

however……

"boom!!!"

Before the divine sense could even sweep over the area, a change was seen in the heavens. The immortals of the upper realm abruptly stopped what they were doing and, filled with surprise and doubt, went to explore beyond the realm.

Beyond the world, in the chaos, four golden lights shone brightly, and countless strange phenomena appeared one after another, eventually transforming into four Dao Palaces and four Immortal Realms, coldly watching over this Tai Xuan Realm and the Five Religions' Celestial Immortals.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were utterly silent.

So and so...

Many years later, in the chaotic void.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens.

In the chaos, a blue lotus swayed, symbolizing the unification of the Three Pure Ones, the reunion of red flowers and white lotus roots, the creation lotus giving birth to the primordial beginning, and the final demon god breaking free.

The demon god's body was covered in bulging muscles, resembling a dragon or snake, possessing boundless power. With a single grasp of its giant hand, it transformed the green lotus into a giant axe, cleaving through the chaos. Wherever the axe blade passed, the primordial and the turbid separated, the pure energy rising to become the sky, and the turbid energy sinking to become the earth. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the earth, wind, fire, and water surged endlessly.

In the beginning of heaven and earth, before the principles were established, the primordial energy was about to close again. The pure energy descended and the turbid energy rose, and it was about to become chaos again. Moreover, an infinitely powerful force pressed down, trying to turn this newborn heaven and earth into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, the demon god was enraged. He roared, shaking the heavens and echoing throughout the myriad realms. Then, he raised his hands to the sky and stomped his feet on the ground, his joints cracking like thunder.

He stood tall and upright, his height reaching ten feet, which made the world seem ten feet wider. His blood and sweat steamed and turned into clouds, his breath surged and roared, his eyes shot out divine light that condensed into the sun and moon, and his spine was straight and perfectly aligned.

After an unknown period of time, the world finally stabilized, the laws and principles were established, and the demon god collapsed, his body transforming into all things, giving life to the world.

Finally, three more streams of pure energy surged from the demon god's body, condensing into a human figure that stood between heaven and earth. "Golden Immortal Rank, Creation of Dao Achievements!"

"I...have succeeded!"

Looking at this newly born world, Xu Yang smiled and then raised his hand, saying, "Come on!"

"Boom!"

Instantly, heaven and earth changed, space shattered, and countless Dao palaces came from all the heavens and myriad realms, falling into this newborn world and showering countless lives upon it.

Xu Yang smiled, holding a whisk, and stepped onto the Thirty-Three Heavens. He used his supreme power to create a Dao Palace and then uttered the sound of the Great Dao, which spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"My path has been perfected. I will preach the Dharma beyond the heavens. Those who are destined to hear it are welcome to come and listen!"

How many myths originated from this?

How many legends began here?

Let's leave that aside for now.

It is said that the Golden Immortal created the Dao, created the Great Thousand Worlds, and shook the heavens and the universe, even astonishing several supreme beings.

Xu Yang exchanged a few thoughts, a slight smile appearing on his face. He then turned back to explore himself and finally saw something.

Properties panel!
Skill characteristics!
His cheat code finally revealed its true nature at this moment.

It was actually a Dao Fruit, a Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!
At the moment of creation and the achievement of the Dao, Xu Yang understood everything.

This skill panel, these attributes and characteristics, represent his Dao fruit, the Dao fruit of his previous life.

In his previous life, he perished in the Great Luo Realm above all the heavens. Before his demise, he cast his Dao Fruit down, which fell to Earth and was reincarnated as a human, becoming his first life as Xu Yang, a young office worker on Earth.

Because Earth has no spirit and is difficult to cultivate, after Xu Yang died suddenly from overwork in his first life, his Dao Fruit exerted its power again, and his true spirit was reborn into the Tai Xuan Sect, becoming a fisherman's son in Dongting Lake.

Needless to say, he persevered through hardship and finally returned to his peak.

Although in the end it all seemed so easy, even to the point of negating his own efforts, Xu Yang did not think so, nor did he have any intention of denying himself.

He was him in my past life, he was him in my first life, and he was him in my second life!
He is who he is, he is Xu Yang!
Whether it's reincarnation or rebirth, no matter what the past was like, it's an unchangeable fact. No one replaces anyone else, and no one substitutes for anyone else. From beginning to end, there is only himself.

Therefore, there's no need to overthink it or engage in self-contradiction.

Looking only to the future...

Chaos returns, a calamity for all the heavens.

The Great Golden Immortal, the only true realm.

That was just as full of struggle, perhaps even more dangerous.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have perished in his previous life, forced to send his Dao Fruit to the lower realm to reincarnate and cultivate again in order to seek a chance at life.

Not only him, but many Golden Immortals knew that the Upper Realm was not a good place. For example, the Supreme Dao Ancestor of the Daoist World left a contingency plan, leaving half of his Dao Fruit in the Daoist World, so that he could be reborn in the Lower Realm in case of unforeseen circumstances and suffer a calamity in the Upper Realm.

In addition, there are various opportunities for becoming a Golden Immortal that circulate throughout the myriad realms. These opportunities are actually the result of the "Great Dao Contest" in the Upper Realm. Many Golden Immortals and even Great Luo Immortals have perished and have no choice but to rely on these opportunities to rebuild their cultivation and compete for the Great Dao again.

Therefore, among the heavens of the lower realm, there are several Golden Immortals who are reluctant to ascend, and are instead honing themselves and perfecting their Dao fruits in order to cope with the extremely fierce Dao struggles in the upper realm.

Danger lurks everywhere!
and so……

"Do not hastily ascend; return to the Upper Realm!"

"There are still two and a half eons until the return to chaos!"

"Exhaust the power of all realms to perfect the Great Luo Fruit!"

Xu Yang murmured to himself, surveying the myriad realms, and had already made his decision.

in this way……

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

After thousands of years, it will eventually become a grand gathering.

Chaos returns, and the great calamity finally arrives.

In the Wandao Palace, Xu Yang sat high on his throne, with the immortals and gods below him arranged in their respective ranks.

Dream of Brahma, with Su You, Xin Shisi Niang...

Li Qinghe, Li Hongyu, Su Beixuan...

Su Shaoqing, Yun Mengyao, and Su Yu...

Fengming, Chu Nan, Fairy Qingluan, True Lord Changrong...

Li Jinling, Shui Linglong, Feng Qingqing, Gui Sanqian...

Lu Mingyu, Li Cangwu, Ling Duxing, Lu Chenyuan...

Master Ziyang, Fairy Peony, Mistress of Yaochi Palace, Bodhisattva of Great Compassion...

Li Junqing, Li Yuzhao, Yao Meier, Nie Hailong...

Zhang Yan, Hua Mulan, Lü Qiling, Gongshu Ling, Ao Chi...

Familiar faces smiled at him from within the hall, including many who had passed away, but he walked over to them and guided them with his great power.

Moreover, outside the Dao Palace, in the vast world, there are billions of living beings, which is the fusion of all realms.

When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

The path to the upper realm is long and arduous, and he is unwilling to walk the great road alone.

and so……

"boom!!!"

The entire realm was shaken. The light merged with the Dao Palace, transforming into a dazzling golden ray that broke through the returning tide of chaos and headed towards the supreme realm.

This move seemed to be a signal, prompting others to follow suit.

Amidst the myriad realms and the surging tide of chaos, several golden lights rose in succession. One of them was a familiar sight—the Lord of Xuanhuang, the Heavenly Emperor Qionggao: "Fellow Daoist, shall we go together?"

"Let's go together!"

"Hahaha!"

Laughter echoed through the void, accompanied by a multitude of immortals, as they ascended directly into the Great Luo Realm.

A new story, a new legend, is thus written.
