I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 671 The Truth and the Road to Heaven
In those ancient times, so long that even time itself has faded, it was an era unknown to all, yet one that connected heaven and earth. Legend has it that the ancient emperor was born in that era.

The ancient emperors searched the eight wastelands and traversed the four seas. They went everywhere, from the heavens to the earth, even to the deepest abysses and the realms of reincarnation.

Later, the ancient emperor left behind scriptures and disappeared into the world.

No one knew the whereabouts of the ancient emperor, nor why he had suddenly departed. Later, relying on the scriptures left behind by the ancient emperor, people ignited the flames of destiny and opened up the divine sea. With extraordinary learning talents, humans, despite their frail bodies, vied for supremacy in the eight wastelands. Later still, the Great Azure Heaven stood, and the world was unified.

If we were to talk about all of this, it seems that it all originated from the ancient emperor.

However, some immortal sects have a saying that before the ancient emperors, there were also gods in the world. They controlled the sun and moon and created all things. But for some unknown reason, they suddenly disappeared from the world.

Liang Yuan has always dismissed such claims.

But now, having experienced all sorts of things in this land of fallen immortals, she has gradually come to accept more and more unbelievable things.

Just as Jiang Wen recounted—the entire Baixi was contained within the body of a fallen immortal.

"Just as Brother Jiang said, if the righteous path is connected with this celestial realm, what is their purpose?" Liang Yuan smiled and asked softly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the true purpose of the Righteous Gods is to open the Heavenly Path." Jiang Wen remained calm as he looked at Liang Yuan and spoke his thoughts. This idea had grown stronger with each passing day since he saw the head of the Heavenly King of Growth.

Based on the past actions of the Righteous Gods, Jiang Wen only guessed that they wanted to resurrect the Four Heavenly Venerables worshipped by the Righteous Gods. But the more he pondered, the more he felt that this group's ambitions were far greater. Perhaps even the resurrection of the Four Heavenly Venerables was just a sideline in their scheme.

"The Heavenly Road?" Liang Yuan murmured the term, quite puzzled. "Is it related to the Path to Immortality?"

"No," Jiang Wen shook his head. "Do you know what realm lies above the Immortal Platform?"

"Naturally, it is the realm of immortals and mortals."

"And what about those above the Immortal level?"

"I've heard that this is the path to ascending to the Heavenly Immortal realm, but unfortunately I've never seen such a powerful immortal," Liang Yuan sighed.

The various schools of immortality all take the life fire as the root of their Dao.

Lighting lamps lays the foundation, the life-giving fire ignites the sea of ​​energy, the Taoist palace condenses the primordial spirit, and the celestial platform gathers supernatural powers.

Above that, the Human Immortal is a legend. To this day, none of the various sects of the immortal realm have heard of anyone who has entered the realm of the Human Immortal and lived a carefree life beyond the mortal world.

Ascension is nothing but a dream, like a mirage, existing only in legends and myths.

Even the most ancient sects have no records of ascension. Only the ancient emperor's travelogue of the eight wastelands and nine lands contains a brief description of ascension:

"Those who ascend to the heavens in physical form are called celestial immortals. Those who roam freely across the four seas are called earthly immortals. Those who travel through mountains and rivers are called human immortals."

People do not understand its true meaning, and all the sects of immortals regard ascension as the Great Dao.

No one knows how to ascend, nor does anyone understand what the end of ascension is.

Jiang Wen had seen immortals before, and their realm was beyond comprehension. But even that supreme realm was still inferior to ascension. The immortal himself was somewhat humble, saying that he had seen all the paths ahead and knew nothing of ascension.

Jiang Wen had read many classic texts from various immortal sects, including the secret scriptures from the three holy lands. Unfortunately, there were no records of ascension, nor any methods for cultivating ascension.

Therefore, he always felt that there should be no ascendants in this world, nor any celestial beings.

The actions of the Righteous God Path were somewhat unexpected, and they didn't even interfere much in the mortal world of the Great Qian. Most of the strange occurrences in the Great Qian were the work of the Worshiping Gods Society. The Righteous God Path simply stood on high ground, observing the game.

These things Jiang Wen had never seen before, only vaguely. Until now, arriving at Baixi, he knew the path to immortality. At that moment, he had a sudden realization and connected the various practices of the righteous gods to it.

If the True God Path's only aim was to resurrect the Four Heavenly Venerables worshipped within its sect, then they would have had ample reason to intervene at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Unfortunately, the True God Path ignored them, allowing the Heavenly Venerable to escape. Now it seems their purpose wasn't to target the Heavenly Venerables, but rather to use the Four Heavenly Venerables to seek something else.

Such planning, such moves.

There is only one thing that could make the righteous path scheme for thousands of years—to glimpse the path to ascension.

Although he didn't know how they planned to play this game, Jiang Wen's intuition told him that what those people hiding behind the scenes desired was not the Great Qian Dynasty, nor the sacred position of the Hundred Immortal Sects. Rather, it was ascension, the supreme path to immortality.

Taking a sip of tea, Jiang Wen slowly revealed his conjecture: "If I'm not mistaken, what the True God Path seeks is to use those four Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Path as bait in an attempt to unravel the mystery of ascension. After all, even the Human Immortal Realm is considered a legend by the various sects of the Immortal Path, let alone the path to ascension."

"If the true gods were plotting to seize the world, they could have let the God Worship Society cause even more trouble. They could have directly bestowed upon the Great Qian Emperor a secret method to extend his lifespan, and the various immortal sects would surely have stood by and watched. But for the past hundred years, the God Worship Society has been nurturing a divine celestial being and collecting the blood, flesh, and souls of innocent children from all over the world. It is not a genuine pursuit of the path to immortality."

"Therefore, I suspect that the True God Path has done all this in order to explore the path to ascension. When I learned about the Path to Immortality in the Hundred Streams, I suddenly realized that what the True God Path has been doing is to pursue another 'Path to Immortality'. However, this 'Path to Immortality' leads to the Nine Heavens and is about ascending to the Heavenly Realm. That is why I said they were looking for the Path to Heaven."

“Brother Jiang’s words make sense.” Liang Yuan nodded thoughtfully. “I have met the disciples of the Righteous God Path, and they are all extraordinary. However, they rarely show themselves in this mortal world of the Great Qian. Most of the time, they only ask me to reveal some information and spread it among the worship ceremonies.”

"Have you ever met the leader of the Righteous God Path?" Jiang Wen asked.

"No, the Dao Master only sent his disciples here and has never shown himself. Perhaps there are not many people in the immortal sects who know the Dao Master's true identity."

Jiang Wen didn't ask any further questions, but simply handed her a stone tablet.

"I will temporarily accept the position of the Azure Sky Tower and the thirteenth elder. From now on, you can travel freely in this capital city with this item. For the time being, stay here. Once the Path to Immortality opens, we will have a way to leave this place."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Liang Yuan asked again.

"You should gather more information in this capital city; we're still quite unfamiliar with this place. Also, you can investigate the other three tribes in the Fallen Immortal Land. Perhaps we'll encounter them again when the Path to Immortality opens."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he gave her several talismans made of Bodhi tree. These talismans were not ordinary talismans; they were comparable to the supernatural powers of a semi-saint. With these talismans, Liang Yuan would be able to escape any danger she might encounter in the capital.

The two chatted about the affairs of the capital city. Not long after, Yan Ming returned and was very happy to see Jiang Wen.

After a pleasant conversation, Jiang Wen noticed that Yan Ming's blood energy had become increasingly abundant, even stronger than before. It was clear that he had been working very hard since returning to his clan.
