Taoist Master Xuanhuang

More importantly, it's the Dao Lord.

The Dao Lord transcends the Three Realms and is no longer bound by the Five Elements; this is no joke. It means that the Dao Lord no longer participates in the conflicts of the human world.

Understanding this statement reveals the immense pressure it entails.

Even when the sky collapsed, the Dao Lord was there to hold it up. The cultivators just needed to do their jobs, because there was always a giant pillar supporting the entire cultivation world.

But things are different now; the Dao Lord has achieved perfect merit and no longer cares about disputes.

Unless the cultivation world is about to be destroyed, don't expect the Dao Lord to appear.

This also means that all the enemy cultivators must deal with it themselves.

That's how the saints are. When the saints came out and discovered Xuanhuang Daoist's actions, they dared not openly suppress the cultivators, but they could do it in secret, right?

Moreover, they could also test the waters and see where Xuanhuang Daoist's bottom line was.

To what extent would Xuanhuang Daoist intervene? Once it is discovered that Xuanhuang Daoist's bottom line is very broad and he will not take action unless he launches a large-scale attack to exterminate cultivators, he will not intervene.

Guess what they'll do.

They will definitely have conflicts with the cultivators.

This is a question of survival philosophy; there is no room for compromise.

The only way for a deity to become stronger is to unite faith and gather fortune.

Humans are the only beings who can provide them with sufficient faith, unless they naturally give up on spiritual practice.

Otherwise, if you want change, you will inevitably have to take this step.

Of course, one can also discover the methods of cultivation on one's own; that is also acceptable.

It's incredibly difficult. Even the most outstanding among the saints wouldn't dare claim that the magic they create is better than the enhancement gained from condensing fortune.

Ultimately, it's a struggle for survival, a matter of life and death.

If the rise of subordinate cultivators is also involved, the pressure on true cultivators will be immense.

Subordinate monks currently appear to have little connection with the interests of the divine.

Subordinate cultivators only need to gather the fortune of their own lineage, and they don't have such a large territory.

True cultivators are different; the entire Xia Kingdom is under their control. After conquering the land, they will inevitably have to defend it.

Defending a country is much more difficult than conquering one.

Unless a true cultivator relinquishes such a large territory, no one would willingly give up what they've already gained.

Those whose interests overlap the most with those of the sacred are those who truly cultivate themselves.

True cultivators will not stand by and watch their territory be invaded by the divine, nor will they see the creatures under their rule be taken over by the divine.

These are all irreconcilable contradictions.

Conversely, there is no other way to achieve holiness except through divine intervention.

In fact, those with keen insight had already seen the signs.

They dared not oppose Xuanhuang; they were utterly afraid.

The oppressive aura of Xuanhuang's advancement is still vivid in my mind. Even those protected by the boundary consciousness knelt down, their bodies and minds trembling. After such an experience, who would still dare to provoke Xuanhuang?

Divinity is pride, not foolishness.

Even if they are foolish, their sense of boundaries will not make them do foolish things.

If the consciousness of the realm could speak, it would surely exclaim: "Good heavens, even Dad has bestowed upon Uncle Xuanhuang the power to see him as if he were Dad. I am but an insignificant son, how dare I provoke Uncle?"

Seeing the Xuanhuang is like seeing the Dao of Heaven; the higher the level of existence, the more awe-inspiring and reverent it is.

On the contrary, their cultivation level was unremarkable, and they did not understand the significance of this matter at all.

Even after Xuanhuang was released from this state, the boundary consciousness still dared not.

Because they understand that what their father gave them is not something that ordinary people can simply refuse. If they want to refuse it, they need to have the confidence to refuse it and the strength to break free from it.

Xuanhuang Daoist clearly possesses this confidence and strength; this is his own uncle.

I used to think he was a lucky stranger, but now he's become a truly capable uncle.

My uncle and dad are having a fight, so we younger generation shouldn't get involved. What if we get trampled to death if we do?
They felt even greater reverence, and there was absolutely no mockery from Xuanhuang after he gave up seeing him as if he were seeing the Heavenly Dao.

In conclusion, it is impossible for a deity to provoke Xuanhuang; this issue simply does not exist.

If we don't provoke Xuanhuang, surely we can provoke Xuanhuang's disciples?

This is true, and even the original consciousness of the realm would support it.

Because they believe that uncles will not get involved in the struggles of the younger generation. If you were to get involved, it would be beneath your noble status. That's what they think.

Therefore, He will support His child, 'Holy,' in fighting and vying for it.

This inevitably leads to conflict between the sacred and the monks.

and……

It's far more complicated than that. The world is changing, and many insightful people have already noticed.

They can sense the changes, they can sense the transformation of the world.

The world is complex; a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

When the divine discovers this problem, the unaffiliated cultivators outside of the true cultivation can also discover it.

The representative of independent cultivators has changed again.

Of all the practitioners in the cultivation world, those who practice independently have undergone the most changes.

Initially, independent cultivators were those outside the four major powers; they were all called independent cultivators.

Later, the Eight Greats emerged, and then it became the Four Super Eights, and everyone outside of them was a rogue cultivator.

Later, even the legends of Qingyun Mountain were no longer worthy of being called rogue cultivators. You're already on Qingyun Mountain, how can you still call yourself a rogue cultivator? Do you deserve it?
We are more pitiful than you; we are the ones who practice as independent cultivators.

Therefore, independent cultivators became an existence outside of the Four Super Eight Greats, outside of the 30,000 Legends of Qingyun Mountain, and outside of various large, medium and small forces.

Now things have changed again.

The group of independent cultivators has been expanded to include those from small world cultivation sects, those who attain enlightenment through skill, and those who have not joined any faction.

This new addition is quite different.

They no longer practice the three invincible techniques, but rather the techniques inherited from their respective worlds.

The reason I couldn't cultivate before was because the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.

Since the minor heavenly paths of the three great gods of Xuanhuang covered the entire Xia Kingdom, cultivators in these minor worlds were also able to cultivate.

Because the conditions suitable for cultivation have been met—a decree rich in spiritual energy and the complete replacement of the three great deities of the Heavenly Dao—these are the two essential environments for cultivation.

Having all of these, one can naturally learn their own methods.

As for cultivators who possess magical artifacts, they are not mentioned much; one only needs to understand that they have reached the end of their historical existence.

With the Lesser Heavenly Dao, cultivation no longer needs to be suppressed by magic treasures, so who would still want to become a magic treasure cultivator?

Although it is also within the Xuanhuang system, it belongs to the Xuanhuang disciples.

However, these beings are all from another world, none of them have studied the three great laws, and none of them need to comprehend the visualization diagrams.

It is naturally very different from the true cultivation of the three invincible techniques.

Their appearance brought about significant changes.

All sorts of methods flooded into the cultivation world in an instant, greatly enhancing its foundation.

It indirectly improved the fortune and civilization of the cultivation world.

The Xuanhuang, representing the cultivators' fortune, has absorbed the various cultivation civilizations of the previous small world. How could their fortune and merit not increase?

It embraces all things, like the ocean accepting all rivers, encompassing everything.

This is the change brought about by the three great gods. The three great gods, heaven and earth, all living beings, and the true self, united together constitute the complete Lesser Heavenly Dao.

True cultivators, due to the time and level of their cultivation, have not yet created high-grade Dharma. This does not mean that these small worlds did not have such inheritance.

The countless small worlds, though divided into large, medium and small, are too numerous to count even within the larger worlds.

The reason it is called a Great Realm is based on an authoritative standard: it has produced beings at the level of a fifth-order Venerable.

A fifth-order Venerable is a fifth-order Dharma.

A powerful realm may have given birth to more than one Venerable, and there may even be a Venerable who has reached the sixth rank and wants to break through to the sixth rank, or even a true sixth-rank Venerable Lord.

The civilization and cultivation culture brought about by such a world are a great boon to Xuanhuang.

It has been incorporated in an inclusive and eclectic way.

They are definitely a powerful potential force, a very large one.

The reason why it currently lacks a strong presence is due to a variety of factors.

Firstly, there's the time spent cultivating. The three great gods have only been covering the entire Xia Kingdom for less than ten years, which is nothing compared to the nearly fifty years of cultivation time of a true cultivator.

Therefore, the current group of powerful cultivators from another world are only at the first level of the Profound Transformation stage.

The existence of true cultivators is simply unshakeable.

A second-tier true cultivator could wipe them out completely.

Secondly, although it is inclusive, the world has changed after all, and it has gone from a small pond into the ocean.

Even cultivation techniques have their limitations. The mysteries, profound meanings, and laws of the small pond are nowhere near as deep and expansive as the main world.

What needs to be changed, what needs to be adjusted.

Many techniques even need to be downgraded, otherwise they simply cannot meet the standards of the main world for cultivation techniques.

This isn't something you can simply refuse to change if you don't want to.

A sect from another world can proudly remain unchanged; our magic is of superior quality, even the pinnacle.

But when your peak technique can't even beat a mid-grade technique or a high-grade technique in the main world at the same level, what face do you have to say that it's top-grade or peak?

There's no other way but to change it.

Fortunately, making changes is much easier now. With effort, you can basically maintain the previous level of this method and only need to make additions, which is too easy.

It's funny, really, that adding is easier than subtracting?

That's the truth. It's because the Dao Lord has three invincible techniques. My own techniques don't have the same mysteries. I just need to add a little something to them when comparing them to the Dao Lord's invincible techniques.

It's like having an encyclopedia in front of you; you just need to copy it.

These cultivators, born from the cover of the three great divine lords' minor heavenly Dao, were also unwilling and filled with anger.

The anger comes from true cultivation, yes, it also comes from true cultivation.

Any cultivation method that wants to have a lineage and a continuous stream of talent requires a huge pool of ordinary people.

This is the law of nature, something that is beyond human reach.

The offspring of a genius are not necessarily geniuses, while the offspring of an ordinary person may be prodigies.

That's the situation; whether it's randomness or natural adjustment, it's something that can't be changed.

They also want a vast territory as their talent pool and a continuous source of motivation for their sect's progress.

But all the good spots have been taken over by true cultivators.

Good talents and those with high aptitude have all been snatched up by true cultivators. How can this be allowed?

Isn't this severing our lineage?
Given this situation, how could they not be angry?

We must fight; to not fight is to die. There is no other way.

Moreover, they had to admit that the humans of the main world, or all living beings in the main world, were of a higher level than those of the small world they came from.

This level doesn't refer to cultivation level, but rather the basic level, the fundamental level.

The same person in a small world cannot be compared to someone in the main world.

With the same talent, people in the main world can break through earlier and go further, while those in the small world are just a little lacking.

This is determined by the nature of the world.

A creature born in the ocean is definitely more powerful than one born in a small pond.

This is the original evolutionary selection.

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. The ocean is such a harsh environment with such vast biodiversity. With so many creatures competing with each other, only the strongest survive.

How big is the small pond in total? How many kinds of creatures have ever been born there?
It cannot be compared to the vast ocean.

Throughout the long river of time and across the journey of evolution, every living person or animal is, without a doubt, a unique legend.

Your genes evolved and were passed down, overcoming countless hardships and obstacles, and surviving numerous extinctions to reach where you are today.

Those who live on are all legends.

The same applies to both the main world and the minor world.

Not to mention the even more exaggerated nature of this extraordinary world, and the degree of perfection of the Dao brought about by the size and depth of the world.

A more powerful and complete world can nurture stronger beings.

The cultivators from another world also want to reach out to the humans of Earth, and perhaps recruit fresh blood here.

However, those despicable cultivators wouldn't let them get involved.

Even secret recruitment is not allowed. Once it is discovered that these cultivators from another world are trying to reach out to ordinary people on Earth, they will be met with a brutal crackdown.

After all, this is the fundamental issue.

True cultivators don't want such a day to come, when a sect from another world finds an unparalleled genius who can directly carry them to victory in that other world. This is unacceptable.

With these prerequisites in place.

The Holy Ones dared not set their sights on ordinary people on Earth for the time being, and the sects from other worlds dared not extend their reach either.

Neither dared to reach in, but both saw the other's outstretched hand.

They looked at each other and gave each other an awkward smile. So, fellow Daoist, you've also encountered this situation.

How about we secretly join forces and break the top-tier resources that the true cultivators have monopolized?
Talent, the pool of ordinary talents, is the most outstanding resource.

It is by no means a spiritual object, a supernatural power, or a precious treasure; these are all secondary.

Without top talent, what good are all your treasures? They will just rot away.

You don't even have the ability to utilize treasures.

The highest quality source of faith for the divine is also the humans of Earth. The fortune and faith brought by the humans of the small world and the humans of the main world are different, there is no comparison at all.

Moreover, Xuanhuang led the Blue Star people to their peak, which further enhanced the quality of Blue Star humans.

When you live in a powerful country or a powerful ethnic group, it brings such a blessing, making you superior to those in less powerful countries or ethnic groups.

The two names of Mercedes-Benz, when switched, become Wang Juhua and Zhao Tiezhu.

But they come from the Bearded Tribe, and they have the support of this tribe, because this tribe is known for its advanced technology and so on.

Humans on Earth have this kind of blessing.

Their status as the main world, coupled with the rise led by Xuanhuang, has amassed boundless fortune. Such believers are incomparable to those of other worlds.

Even the gods are envious.

Realms with good relations with Xuanhuang can benefit from this, as Xuanhuang does not prohibit them.

But those deities who have no connection with Xuanhuang are distressed.

They hit it off immediately.
