Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

That bright, brilliant starlight, carrying unparalleled, blazing power, rushed straight towards us.

Standing in the void, Long Yangzi's Dharma body raised his hand, formed a fist seal, and directly attacked.

'Boom! '

A deafening roar erupted, the sound of the Great Dao resounded, and the entire world was covered in blinding light, as a massive explosion capable of destroying a planet occurred.

The energy light, condensed from dozens of laws of energy plus the great power of immortality, almost surpassed the limits that the human world could bear.

Everything it touched along the way was obliterated.

The meteorite turned to dust, the void collapsed, and space distorted—a veritable descent of supreme divine power!

But Long Yangzi is no ordinary person; he has already stood at the top of this world, belonging to one of the most elite forces of the human race.

Long Yangzi's Dharma body appeared light and airy, but it carried immense power, withstanding the overwhelming energy light without being damaged.

He shook his hands, constantly deflecting the powerful impact of the laws, and remained unharmed amidst the bombardment and explosion.

Clearly, even with the blessing of immortal power and the ultimate concentration of dozens of laws of energy, the offensive power is still formidable.

Because Luo Yan's cultivation level was really too low, this light of law could be used to attack ordinary strong people, but it was far from enough to hurt Long Yangzi!

Even Long Yangzi's Dharma Body defense line could not be broken through.

It seemed like everything was heading in the wrong direction.

But at that moment, a wisp of silent, dark energy, formless and intangible, was born in the void.

It rushed into Long Yangzi's Dharma body at near-light speed, following the powerful shockwave of the explosion.

'Om! '

The great power of the immortal path surged, and that wisp of dark energy, as violent as a meteor, completely entered Long Yangzi's Dharma body.

‘Crack! ’

Under the influence of the immortal power, that wisp of dark energy finally revealed its true form.

The aura of a great calamity!

Its aura was released to its maximum by the power of the immortal path, spreading throughout Long Yangzi's Dharma body.

In an instant, a seven-colored vortex suddenly appeared in the originally calm starry sky.

There were celestial palaces, heavenly soldiers, and gods appearing one by one.

Their illusory figures gradually solidified, as if they had truly descended, causing one's soul to tremble, and an immense pressure swept over the entire True Spirit Realm.

The gods parted their lips slightly, and boundless light surged forth. Instantly, nine-colored lightning was born within the seven-colored vortex, and the world-destroying divine power swept across the sky.

This is Luo Yan's real trump card!

He knew very well that there was a vast gap in strength between him and the old monsters in the Mahayana realm.

Even with the blessing of immortal power, for someone like Luo Yan who has not yet comprehended the origin of the Great Dao, to want to use this energy to destroy a top-tier powerhouse is nothing short of wishful thinking.

So Luo Yan set his sights on the wisp of calamity that had recently been attracted by the reckless behavior of his second spirit body.

Luo Yan used this wisp of calamity energy to completely activate the calamity energy within Long Yangzi's body, bringing it to the attention of Heaven.

Divine punishment will naturally descend!

This is the true manifestation of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, a kind of obliteration of order by the consciousness of the Heavenly Way.

All living beings in the mortal realm must overcome three calamities and nine tribulations before they are qualified to attain enlightenment.

This is a method used by the Celestial Court to control the lower realms.

However, many cultivators possess various mysterious and powerful top-tier secret techniques that allow them to avoid these so-called three calamities and nine tribulations to a certain extent.

This method is known as avoiding the three calamities!
Longyangzi was no exception.

Or rather, looking at all the beings in the True Spirit Realm, the vast majority of those who were able to cultivate to the Mahayana Realm or the Great Sage Realm used the method of avoiding the Three Calamities.

Such a wonderful method is the supreme way to attain enlightenment, but it is a heresy of the Heavenly Order!

Luo Yan used his own calamity energy to draw out the calamity energy within Long Yangzi's body, causing it to be firmly locked onto by the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

This will then trigger divine punishment.
This is the real trump card, achieving a powerful effect with minimal effort.

"No!"

"What the hell is this thing? How could it attract divine punishment?"

For the first time, Long Yangzi's face showed horror, his expression filled with fear and his body trembling.

He sensed a life-or-death danger that was very close!

At this moment, every pore on Long Yangzi's body trembled, and his mind was shaken violently.

He sensed a strong danger; something was very wrong with that ball of energy.

Long Yangzi immediately dispersed his Dharma body and retreated rapidly, trying to disappear from this world.

Unfortunately, from the moment that great calamity descended upon his Dharma body, it subtly locked onto Long Yangzi's Dao energy.

They are like maggots clinging to bones; they will not disappear into thin air.

Instead, it followed his Dharma body and entered Long Yangzi's body.

Immediately afterwards, the nine-colored lightning bolt locked onto Long Yangzi.

*Sizzle!*

A brilliant, nine-colored lightning bolt descended from the sky, pierced through the turbulent void, and struck Long Yangzi in an almost instantaneous manner.

'puff! '

In just a moment, Long Yangzi's body was blasted into pieces and turned into dust.

With a single blow, his so-called demigod body was as thin as paper.

Completely shattered.

A profound and mysterious Daoist aura emanated from Long Yangzi, with the power of the Dao of Destiny overflowing and spreading outwards, while his own divine soul aura was hidden within it.

Furthermore, the "Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method" provides a way to avoid disaster, which caused Long Yangzi to fall completely silent after being struck by this lightning.

He still found a way to avoid disaster and went to the river of fate to escape it.

*Sizzle!*

Another bolt of nine-colored lightning struck down, crashing into the void and turning this world into a dazzling spectacle, as bright as day, stunning the entire realm.

Such divine punishment lightning fell continuously, as fierce as a torrential downpour, tearing everything apart.

Endless lightning descended, turning that void into a lightning domain, and shattering the starry sky stretching for eighty thousand miles.

This is a calamity from heaven, like the end of the world.

Countless powerful beings looked up, their eyes filled with fear, and muttered to themselves:

"Which old geezer is causing trouble again, actually drawing divine punishment right above the True Spirit Realm?"

At the same time, every powerful figure in the Ancient Profound Domain broke out in a cold sweat as they watched the continuous barrage of nine-colored lightning.

They were all trembling with fear, not daring to reveal even a trace of their own aura, for fear of being targeted by the lightning from heaven.

If such terrifying divine lightning were to strike them, they would likely not be able to withstand even a single blow and would instantly turn into dust, dying a gruesome death.

I wonder just how powerful that being who attracted divine punishment must be?
At this moment, Long Yangzi also felt extremely frustrated. He could only try to escape this divine punishment by residing his divine thoughts in the River of Fate.

Only after the seven-colored vortex in the heavens disappeared did Long Yangzi descend from the void. 'Whoosh!'

Strands of vital energy surged in from all directions, converging into a deep abyss, and finally coalescing into the shape of Long Yangzi.

"Damn it! I actually got tricked by that guy!"

Long Yangzi also realized that the reason he was struck by lightning was because he sensed a wisp of calamity energy suddenly entering his body.

Thus, he was targeted by the heavens, who were determined to destroy him.

If it weren't for the extraordinary and transcendent power of fate, he would probably have been in real danger this time.

Even so, Long Yangzi's Dao body was very unstable, and his aura was much weaker than before.

After all, Long Yangzi had taken a solid hit from the divine lightning, and the resulting Dao injury would require him to recuperate for at least a hundred years before he could fully recover.

And this was merely the power of a divine thunderbolt.

If Long Yangzi had reacted any slower and taken two more blows, he might have truly died.

"Who exactly is that person? Not only did they kill my disciple, but they also dared to plot against me?"

"Could it be that his real purpose was to lure me out?"

Long Yangzi gasped, his expression shifting between light and dark, as he began to speculate about the mysterious figure who had secretly intervened.

Long Yangzi had initially suspected that his disciple might have offended someone he shouldn't have, and that person's master had come to seek revenge.

But now, it was clear that the other party was coming for him, which made Long Yangzi feel uneasy.

It should be understood that the energy of the Great Calamity is almost equivalent to the power of destiny, a supreme law that even the immortals and gods of the upper realms desire to control.

Such a calamity was actually drawn out by a mysterious person, who then framed him for it.

At this moment, a deep sense of horror flashed in Long Yangzi's eyes, mixed with a barely perceptible fear.

"Is that you?"

"Or is this some kind of backup plan you're using to warn me?"

Long Yangzi's eyes flickered, and he began to doubt the reincarnated immortal god again, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

After all, it was the aura of a great calamity, formed from the order of the universe's heavenly way, and inherently contained supreme power.

It is not something that ordinary beings can touch.

In Long Yangzi's memory, among all the causes and effects he caused, the only being qualified to mobilize such great power was probably that reincarnated immortal god.

Soon, Long Yangzi left and returned to the mountain peak he had been on.

The two stone dolls that were originally placed here are now completely shattered into pieces, turning into dust on the ground.

Clearly, the scheme of substitution devised by Longyangzi and Gongsun Yan is now completely impossible to carry out.

Their original plan was to use his eldest disciple's ability to devour fate to forcibly replace that reincarnated immortal god.

Furthermore, the extraordinary destiny of that junior from the Five Elements Sect was used to cover up the divine calculations made by the immortals and gods above the Nine Heavens.

With a two-pronged approach, Long Yangzi and Gongsun Yan would have a very high probability of forcibly seizing the position of a reincarnated immortal god.

After all, the chance of one's own path to immortality is slim, but to steal the true immortal or divine status is a genuine realm of true immortality!
In this way, even without ascending to the Immortal Realm, Long Yangzi could live for tens of thousands of years!

Become a carefree immortal!

But now, all the plans have fallen through.

Because the stone dolls containing the life force of those two descendants shattered at the same time, it meant that the spiritual material used to replace the reincarnated immortal had lost its original function.

Of course, Long Yangzi could also guess that the reason for this outcome was the killing of his disciple.

This, in turn, triggered a series of chain reactions.

If he can reselect suitable pieces, he might have a chance to start over.

But Long Yangzi knew that he no longer had that opportunity.

Because he only had one chess piece skilled in the "Wansheng Heart Seal Technique," and it was now dead, he would find it difficult to find a suitable replacement.

After all, Longyangzi's other disciple has only just begun to comprehend destiny, and there is still a long way to go before he can master this supreme and wonderful method.

Actually, there is another piece that is also very suitable for carrying out this plan.

Therefore, Gongsun Yan even spoke with Long Yangzi in advance, granting permission for the junior to practice.

But to their utter surprise, although the junior from the Five Elements Sect had watched the "Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method," he showed no intention of cultivating it whatsoever.

It's just to broaden my horizons.
Thus began his eldest disciple's repeated schemes to devour the young man in blue.

A variable is a variable, and among the younger generation, there are almost no rivals.

Longyangzi's eldest disciple clashed with him several times, but all his attempts ended in failure.

Even though the two powerful figures, Long Yangzi and Gongsun Yan, repeatedly guided and distorted the trajectory of fate in secret.

But that young man in green always managed to find a way out of near-death crises.
"Ugh"

"As expected, man proposes, God disposes!"

"The most important thing for those who cultivate themselves to learn is to respect the order of Heaven!"

Long Yangzi sighed heavily. The failure of the substitution plan had greatly diminished his spirit and energy.

The sense of vicissitude and age on his body became more pronounced at this moment.

Red Sea, Arctic Wind Island Beach.

Luo Yan slowly woke up in the quiet room, realizing that his wisp of soul had not returned, but he did not care.

With a light tap of his finger, he once again used the divine power of the exquisite pagoda to perform the deduction.

Soon, a painting appeared in the void before him.

It was a scene of divine punishment from the ancient Xuan Realm.

Luo Yan could clearly see that the Longyangzi Sect Leader had been struck by lightning once, although he had used some kind of secret technique to avoid the heavenly tribulation afterward.

But the terrifying power of divine punishment will definitely give that old man a severe beating.

"Old man, you're lucky this time."

Luo Yan's gaze was cold. Using the immortal power of the exquisite pagoda, he barely managed to break free from the river of fate and then saw something extraordinary.

That is, within one's own destiny trajectory, one is already surrounded by countless threads of cause and effect.

It was like a prison, trapping him inside, completely sealed off.

Normally, the intangible concept of cause and effect refers to the many consequences arising from a person or thing that a living being has touched.

They are parallel to each other, or intersecting like a crossroads, never in the form of a cage.

There can only be one reason for such a disastrous outcome.

Someone is plotting and scheming against Luo Yan!

A line of cause and effect represents a layer of calculation.

Luo Yan's body was covered by layers of dense causal lines, as solid as a large sphere.

It's easy to imagine the terrifying number of schemes surrounding Luo Yan. (End of Chapter)
