Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Lao Ai was not the first deity to appear in the world, but he is a clear representative of it.
Even though Xuanhuang's fame swept across the world, there were always dark places where his light could not reach.

There are both good and evil, ghosts and demons.

Especially some inherently evil saints, it is impossible for them to become good. If they did, they would cease to exist. Their essence is desire, depravity, and evil origins.

Just like the duality of the world, there is good and there is evil, and this cannot be changed.

The idea that they were born evil might not apply to humans, but it fits perfectly here; their very nature dictates that they are sacred in this way.

In addition, there is another factor. Whether they are righteous saints or evil saints, they all clearly understand one thing: the Xuanhuang Dao Lord is great.

But it has nothing to do with me.

Whether it's the transmission of the origin or the guidance of Heaven, it's telling me one thing: I won't be noticed by the Xuanhuang Dao Master.

Because I am not qualified.

As long as cultivators are not wiped out, the Dao Lord will not interfere in the human world; this is what the origin and the will of Heaven have passed down to them.

Just as Xuanhuang handed everything over to the three great gods and cultivators, the Dao Lord's level was too high, so high that he transcended the Three Realms and was not within the Five Elements.

With such divine guidance, what do evil spirits and saints have to care about?

It's not that I look down on myself, it's that I genuinely look down on myself. How could I possibly have the ability to wipe out the entire cultivation world? You must be joking.

Therefore, no matter how much I cause trouble, it's fine; my opponent isn't the Dao Lord, but his disciples.

These are the enemies who are their equals. Once the enemy becomes the Dao Lord's disciple, they will no longer be afraid.

It can be said that Lao Ai, this cowardly scoundrel who hides himself and dares not show his face, is still cautious and careful in his secret plots.

Some were arrogant, even knowing that the outside world was ruled by cultivators, they still arrogantly announced their arrival.

Every sip and every bite is preordained by Heaven; every cause has its effect—this is an irrefutable truth.

Just as the appearance of Xuanhuang caused the mysterious disappearance of the Xia Kingdom and the emergence of the secret swamp.

What was originally considered a positive and sacred entity, under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, began to replace the strange phenomena within the Xia Kingdom and become the greatest threat to humanity.

Compared to the eerie, the sacred is positive, no matter how you look at it, it's positive.

They should stand with humanity, but they are the greatest enemies of the supernatural, and a battle for supremacy between the sacred and the bizarre will unfold.

Humans were originally destined to be eliminated. Even if they were not completely extinct, they would only be slaves kept by the gods, serving as "power banks" to provide faith and incense offerings.

The divine contends with the bizarre.

Because the appearance of Xuanhuang changed the overall situation, the strange was eliminated, so a replacement was needed.

This substitution became sacred, and the sacred of demonic nature experienced an explosive growth.

Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom of Blue Star, don't limit yourself to Qingyun Mountain in Nanshi. Although it is powerful, it is only a very small area.

Looking across the entire Xia Kingdom, in many places outside of Nanshi, the sacred realms have undergone tremendous changes.

Human holiness is decreasing, divine holiness is also decreasing, while evil holiness is constantly increasing, and has even undergone transformation.

For example, a realm that was originally bright may begin to be tainted by darkness, and the deities within it that were originally righteous and holy may now become evil.

A door hinge that is frequently used will not rust, and flowing water will not become stagnant.

The reason for everything is the mysterious disappearance, just as the mysterious swamp appeared when the mysterious could not be born.

The source of the sewage is still there; the flow has been blocked, but it won't disappear; it's just flowing to another place.

The path leading to the strange was blocked by Xuanhuang, so it could only flow into the boundary or other places.

The contaminated area is caused by this reason, and it is the main reason.

Another important reason is that the realm is no longer pure.

It is impure in the eyes of Heaven. If you don't understand, just look at what Jiang Shang and Confucius were doing.

They're about to refine their own realm; where is the purity left?

In the eyes of Heaven, they all became subordinates of Xuanhuang.

Therefore, the distorted meaning of the fusion of all realms, the calamity and deathly current flowing towards the realms, means that humanity needs an enemy.

It can be said that all these changes were caused by the emergence of Xuanhuang.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Distortion, death, disaster, and misfortune all need to be digested and worn away.

This is a hurdle that must be overcome in the integration of all realms, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot overcome it.

The merging of all worlds, with each world sacrificing itself to create an eternal world, is both an elevation and a calamity.

Calamities need to be resolved, and resolving them with the help of Xuanhuang is an inevitable choice under the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

It wasn't even Heaven's will that was deliberately making trouble for Xuanhuang.

It should be noted that advancing in the multiverse fusion world is not an easy task, and there is a high probability of failure.

It requires careful planning and execution.

The reason why innate spiritual treasures such as the Spirit-Suppressing Stele, the Temple of Origin, and the Ancestral Altar entered this realm is due to the arrangement and preparation of heaven and earth.

Even so, it doesn't mean success.

The world needs to undergo tribulations to advance, and for heaven and earth, distortions and misfortunes are tribulations.

Just as after Pangu separated heaven and earth, the resentment of three thousand gods and demons did not dissipate, and transformed into ferocious beasts to wreak havoc on the newly born primordial world, thus giving rise to the great battle between primordial beings and ferocious beasts, and thus the great calamity of ferocious beasts.

The eerie can be seen as ferocious beasts, the lingering resentment from the shattered myriad realms.

These resentments need to be digested. Whether it's the Five Holy Lands or the Realms, they are all ways for heaven and earth to give birth to living beings to deal with strange phenomena.

Fearing that the newly born creatures would be unable to withstand the strange beings, they decided to make the strange beings the overlords of the first era, guiding them to become true strange beings, that is, the fourth order.

The emergence of intelligence at the fourth rank is equivalent to guiding a ferocious beast formed from the resentment of countless worlds into a normal living being.

This is how they process their resentment.

That's how it should be.

The appearance of Xuanhuang was completely unexpected, leaving even the will of heaven and earth bewildered.

Even more threatening to Him than these resentments was the Xuanhuang.

He can slowly digest resentment, but he cannot overcome the power of the primordial chaos.

Fortunately, this otherworldly transcendent is not predatory, but a very rare constructive otherworldly transcendent.

This leaves room for maneuver.

However, it's uncertain whether they are truly constructive detached individuals.

Therefore, after many previous attempts to test Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang was left somewhat speechless.

However, regardless of whether he is a constructive detacher or not, since he cannot be driven away or destroyed, I will use him to solve another problem.

This is why the sacred boundaries within the Xia Kingdom were defiled.

It is Heaven and Earth that, through the power of Xuanhuang, have worn away even more resentment.

If one had a pair of divine eyes that could see through heaven and earth, one would discover that the resentment scattered throughout the universe was being bound by the Heavenly Dao and heading towards Blue Star.

The existence of the five sacred lands is that the Heavenly Dao uses living beings to digest resentment.

At this moment, the resentment absorbed by one holy site on Earth exceeded the total resentment absorbed by the other four holy sites combined.

Especially the crucial moment of divine birth.

The sacred is being corrupted.

…………

"Has it finally arrived?" As the sounds came from all directions, one by one, the deities announced their arrival.

What reached the cultivators' ears was a growing pressure.

Twenty turbulent years have passed, why the madness?
Besides the significant changes in the past twenty years, including the emergence of subordinate cultivators, the conferment of gods, the reincarnation or strategic planning of realm deities, and the split of the four superpowers.

Another very important reason is to prepare for the divine birth.

"Lord City Lord, it's merely the emergence of a King-level True Saint. A Venerable-level True Saint will require another sixty years to emerge," a subordinate said.

City Lord? Just hearing that, it's clear that the city isn't under the control of true cultivators, or rather, it's not under the control of the Confucian school.

This city belongs to the small world and is ruled by humans.

Within the Xia Kingdom, although the Blue Star True Cultivators control a wide area, proportionally speaking, they only control less than 30% of the land.

The remaining 70% consists of cities built by various small world creatures after they merged with the city.

Some don't even need to be assembled, since their world has been integrated into Earth, which is equivalent to the world moving with them, from a small world to the main world of Earth.

It was a direct and seamless integration, a complete fusion with everything in their world.

Such places are generally not considered desirable by cultivators of the Xuanhuang Daoist arts, unless they are rare and precious locations; otherwise, they remain under the rule of the rulers of the smaller worlds.

Some of the people at the bottom of society or ordinary people who are being ruled out have no idea that they have been moved.

They still thought they were living in the previous world, and had no idea about the fusion of worlds, let alone what it meant.

Such places account for more than 70%.

After all, the number of true cultivators on Earth is far too few compared to the beings that have merged with the myriad worlds. Even if they kept having children, it would be impossible to produce enough people in just a hundred years.

Well, unless it's someone with talent like Lao Ai.

Even someone with Lao Ai's talent couldn't do it, because he couldn't find that many women.

Nearly 30% of the area is already the limit that Blue Star cultivators can control.

However, although the remaining 70% were not personally in charge, they were all told: You are being ruled. If you are not convinced, die. If you are convinced, you don't need to do anything. Just continue to govern your people.

In name, true cultivators are in complete control.

Seventy percent of these beings are terrified of the coming divine birth.

The sacred may be a significant challenge for true practitioners, but for them it is a disaster.

"You're making it sound like we can handle a fourth-tier True King."

The city lord felt that his subordinates were too optimistic.

"Lord, it's not that I'm optimistic, but rather that I have confidence in our Flying Feather City. With your friendship with Lord Zhenxiu, our safety can be guaranteed." It wasn't optimism after all, but flattery.

"Haha, that's true." The city lord was very pleased, as this touched on something he was proud of.

More than 70% of the living beings are in places that are nominally controlled by the true cultivators, but are not personally managed.

Of these more than 70% of living beings, some developed very well, while others did not. Many were wiped out and their cities were massacred, and many lost control of their cities.

True cultivation is one world, and they are in another.

More than 70% of living beings are also competing; the winners naturally develop well, while the losers have been swallowed up or even disappeared.

The four super cultivators, the eight great cultivators, divine cultivators, spirit beasts, and so on, are all direct descendants of the Xuanhuang Dao Master, regardless of their origins.

Despite their fierce competition, they are the big shots in the eyes of these beings.

Big shots have their own competition, and these people also have their own competition.

In summary, over the past century, there have been twenty-seven major powers among all the beings that have integrated into the Xia Kingdom of the main world (powers that are considered major powers by beings from other worlds).
Nine cities, nine dynasties, and nine sects—these twenty-seven major powers are the heavens in the eyes of beings from another world.

They generally cannot come into contact with true cultivators; the level is too high for them to understand.

To put it simply, the twenty-seven major powers in this other world are considered major powers because they have a first-level True Cultivator in charge, and there are more than one. It is said that there are even some who are at the mid-stage of the first-level Profound Transformation realm.

That's right, the first-order Xuanbian mid-stage, which is impossible to reach on Qingyun Mountain, is the limit for these otherworldly beings.

No joke, a single second-tier true cultivator could wipe out all life in the entire small world.

The gap is too big, so they can't play together at all.

The beings or forces in the small world, when viewed from the perspective of the Four Superpowers and the Eight Great Powers, are essentially watching gods fight.

Furthermore, although these 70% of the beings are nominally under the jurisdiction of true cultivators.

However, we cannot expect them all to genuinely believe in true cultivation.

After all, they were the top beings in their respective small worlds. Even though the experts of the myriad worlds had all perished during the fusion of worlds, the culture and long-standing heritage they left behind preserved their pride.

They admire the power of true cultivators, but it's difficult for them to humble themselves and act subserviently.

To survive, one may outwardly appear humble and subservient, but inwardly they may not be so.

The city lord of Feiyu City is someone who is truly convinced, who sees reality clearly, and who genuinely submits to the group of true cultivators.

Naturally, some are genuinely convinced, while others outwardly submit but inwardly harbor resentment.

Although they wouldn't openly oppose the true cultivators, their resistance and defiance were palpable.

In addition, in the last twenty years, the four super powers have split apart, and the true cultivators are in a mess, so the suppression and repression of them has been reduced considerably.

Some of the creatures in the small world suddenly felt that they were capable again.

They even excitedly fantasized that the bully Zhenxiu had finally caused internal strife. Internal strife was great, because it would give them an opportunity.

Otherwise, how could there be beings secretly allied with the Holy Ones?

Everything has a reason.

Those who truly submit will naturally receive benefits from the cultivation side, such as receiving protection, which is a significant advantage.

The true cultivator promised them not to be afraid, as powerful figures would come to their aid once the Holy One emerged and caused chaos in their Flying Feather City.

As for those who are dissatisfied and outwardly comply but inwardly defy you, then I'm sorry, you'll have to face it yourselves.

The reason why the city lord of Feiyu City was happy was because he had a true cultivator protecting him.

Hmph, you call me spineless, but how much is spine worth?

After you die, do you think you can crawl out of hell and continue to mock me for being spineless?

"We must not be careless. Although we have the protection of the True Cultivator, as you know, things haven't been peaceful within the True Cultivator's own ranks lately, and..."

The city lord said worriedly, "I don't know if you've noticed, but I feel that something has changed in the Sacred Realm. I have a feeling that misfortune is coming and disaster is about to strike."

The city lord of Feiyu City said uncertainly.

As the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring." These beings from small worlds outside the core area of ​​true cultivation, who are not in the core area of ​​human territory, are the first to feel the changes.

The realm within the core human territory, that is, the realm controlled by true cultivators, seems to have remained unaffected due to the suppression of true cultivators' fortune.

Significant changes have occurred in remote and desolate places that are the habitat of creatures in small worlds, which are considered by true cultivators.

“Lord, I feel the same way. Should we report this to Master Zhenxiu?” one of the subordinates said.

"Sure, since it concerns our safety, let's report it."

"Yes!"

……

P.S.: Dear readers, I apologize, yesterday's chapter was blocked and not released. It's probably because the plot about Lao Ai was a bit too explicit.

However, it won't affect reading. I'll think of another way. If it still can't be released, I'll gradually add it later. There won't be any sense of isolation.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
