A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 703 The Method of Enlightenment
Funiu Mountain, at its summit.

The star-patterned bronze mirror reflected in the sky, projecting a scene of the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor being tricked by the Candle Dragon Celestial Venerable and dragged into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to take his place.

"Wonderful!"

“It’s really wonderful!”

"It's just that the Heavenly Venerable Zhulong's method of tying up cause and effect is a bit clumsy. It requires the Great Qilin's mind to be shaken, and the possibility of 'the Great Qilin becoming the substitute' to appear in the long river of time, in order to complete the causal grafting between himself and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"And this giant Qilin is also simple-minded and adorable. Or rather, it thinks that because its Qilin Emperor clone certificate is already a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit and has the combat power of an unparalleled domain, no living being in this world would dare to trick it?"

You Xiong clapped his hands in praise, and the aura belonging to the people of Lezi lingered, causing You Yu and San Ye Jian Cao, who had witnessed the entire scheming process of Zhulong Tianzun, to break out in a cold sweat.

Why have so many outrageous things suddenly started happening since I was taken in as a subordinate by Brother Youxiong in less than half a day?
At the meeting of kings in the [Spirit Realm], these two emperors, who sat solemnly on the spiritual stars, had acted very reliably and had the demeanor of senior cultivators. So their sudden scheming was truly astonishing.

First, there was a seemingly extremely dangerous and utterly unreliable "Yellow Emperor" at the end of the road. Then there was the Candle Dragon Dao Ancestor, skilled at digging pits, dragging fellow Daoists of the same realm into the mire, and finding "scapegoats." Finally, there was the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor, who seemed naive and easily deceived, but is now unable to escape his trap.

Yu and the Three-Leaf Sword Grass's filter for those who broke through to become emperors has been completely shattered. Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Mythical Heavenly Emperor, who were recorded as extremely virtuous and righteous in ancient history, have gradually become less sensitive to these perceptions.

Also, didn't that newly recognized elder brother from the same clan just say that the techniques of the Candle Dragon Ancestor were a bit unskilled?
How many pits must have been dug, how many people buried, to have such rich experience to casually evaluate this "Great Universe Guardian Re-election Event"?
With just a slight shift in their thoughts, Youyu and the Three-Leaf Sword Grass began to wonder why their newly acquainted Brother Youxiong possessed such extensive experience in rebuilding.

Those who have been tricked by Youxiong probably wish they could kill him multiple times, and make him disappear forever, and then disappear forever again, right?
Thinking of this, Yu and the Three-Leaf Sword Grass slowly turned their gazes toward the stone table in front of them, which had been manipulated by You Xiong and was radiating wisps of Xuanhuang Mother Qi, and the blue lotus that was placed on the table as a potted plant and was flowing with wisps of chaotic Qi.

This chaotic blue lotus has a trace resembling a fragment of a celestial realm, as well as a faint, almost imperceptible trace of the celestial king's essence.

With a surge of consciousness, he communicated with the [Spirit Realm], activated the Heavenly Secrets Technique, and began to calculate the Chaos Green Lotus. After a few breaths, his expression faltered slightly.

This is most likely a Celestial King who fell in the Celestial Realm era. In this cycle of reincarnation, he is similar to a supreme Celestial King who is close to the level of a giant. He has severed all his memories, cultivation, and most of his origin, and has some of the kingly instincts of creating a world, and is rebuilding.

Yu's expression changed, and he muttered to himself, "The Chaos Seed Green Lotus, the Green Lotus Immortal King?"

"Is it connected to the Immortal Realm... no, not the Immortal Realm, but some unknown fragment of the Immortal Realm?"

"So, this is the reincarnation that Brother Youxiong 'picked up' and is going to swindle you out of your life?"

The three-leaf sword grass swayed its leaves slightly, looking at the Chaos Green Lotus floating on the Chaos Spring, which looked wilted and half-dead.

He sighed inwardly, "Fellow Daoist is indeed very lucky to have met Immortal Emperor Lu Jin and been taken under his wing."

"I just don't understand what the 'Yellow Emperor' wants to do with the Chaos Green Lotus?"

"Could it be that it's being nurtured to house some vast universe?"

The image reflected in the star-patterned bronze mirror slowly dimmed, finally settling on the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor, whose pupils had lost all light.

Yu slowly shook his head, sighing once again at the treacherous nature of the world.

No wonder the Three-Leaf Sword Grass was surprised that he could reach the pinnacle of humanity and attain the quasi-immortal emperor's Dao fruit without encountering any schemes. Yet he was also schemed against, and by a friend of the same realm. When did the world and people's hearts become like a ghost realm?
Yu picked up the celestial tea emitting a mystical aura from the table, took a sip, and swallowed the wolfberry celestial medicine at the King Realm level inside the cup. He then circulated his cultivation technique to refine the gentle medicinal power that was constantly flowing through his body.

He glanced at Youxiong, who was casually picking up one medicinal herb after another and stuffing them into his mouth, and his eyelids twitched slightly. "How much longer will you stay in Funiu Mountain, brother?"

"This is, after all, the Daoist Temple of the Supreme Dao Ancestor. Staying here for too long might be impolite. Although he seems to have stepped out of Hangu Pass on the ancient star tens of thousands of years ago and his whereabouts are unknown, there are only a few King-level beings left in the temple."

You Xiong waved his hand, "Staying in Funiu Mountain is just like being at home, it's very comfortable, and it's okay to stay a little longer. Just like you said, there aren't many King-level beings in Funiu Mountain, including the two of you."

The title of Supreme Dao Ancestor is simply the title given by Laozi after the Xuanhuang Dao Fruit gradually returned to the mortal world and possessed some of the power of the ultimate path.

Now, five Dao Fruits that have reached the end of their paths and are awaiting further sublimation have sunk to a depth of "5". They want to "rise" back to the myriad worlds. It is unknown when "Xuanhuang Tianzun" will be able to return in the guise of "Laojun".

Now that "Xuanhuang Tianzun" is in eternal silence, he cannot come out without using the essence of the [Gray Mist Space], so he has to put on another disguise called "Youxiong".

But it doesn't matter. After Zhenyuan Daozu transformed and kidnapped the "world", he doesn't lack this little bit of power.

Youxiong glanced at Youyu, who was already somewhat restless and looked a little forced, and said again, "Staying in Funiu Mountain is mainly to wait for the two prehistoric beings who are destined to be with me."

You Xiong slightly pinched his fingers, pulled out a blueprint of the [Spirit Realm], pointed to a certain node, and said, "As a Celestial King, you should also know that the Dark Celestial Emperor is launching a strong attack outside the myriad realms, trying to break through the barrier formed by the [Spirit Realm], and even allowed a strange and supreme being to slip into the depths of the [Spirit Realm] through a tiny crack."

"Although this strange and supreme being was eventually refined into three supreme pills by Dao Ancestor Yun Ding, after the external destruction by Immortal Emperor Lu Jin and the extensive actions of the two supreme Dao Ancestors, a certain array foundation deep within the Spirit Realm, which relies on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, could not withstand the pressure and has already shown some problems."

"And coincidentally, these few problems all came together, causing issues with the self-repair mechanism of the [Spirit Realm], making it difficult to invoke the Immortal Emperor's Laws to gradually repair its own defects."

"These two beings who are connected to me happen to have some causal and fateal relationship with this issue."

Yu's eyelids twitched a few times, and the leaves of the three-leaf sword grass trembled slightly.

Is it really a good idea to tell two Immortal Kings who have just been promoted to Supreme Giants about something so important?
The Spirit Realm, which appeared at the end of mythology, has become an indispensable part of all the heavens and myriad worlds to this day.

Without the Spirit Realm, the entire world would be in chaos. Even the many supreme Dao Ancestors who are currently in seclusion and no longer interfere in the world would change and gradually reappear.

Thinking of the potential horrors, You Yu couldn't help but say, "Can't the Dao Ancestors repair this small problem in the Spirit Realm right now?"

"Even if the Dao Ancestors can't do it, surely the Desolate Heavenly Emperor can?"

You Xiong took a bite of the immortal fruit, then a sip of the immortal tea, and clapped his hands. He slowly stood up and walked to the end of the stone steps. "As long as the self-repair function of the [Spirit Realm] does not malfunction, any Quasi-Immortal Emperor who travels to the depths of the [Spirit Realm] and provides their own Quasi-Immortal Emperor technique can play a role in promoting its development."

"But right now, this function is stuck in a loop of bug logic because of a series of small problems. It can't function properly. The only solution is to manually modify the underlying rules and logic."

"This requires the joint efforts of a supreme Dao Ancestor who specializes in the Dao of Yin and Yang and a supreme Dao Ancestor who is skilled in the Dao of Creation."

Youxiong clapped his hands again, manifesting several supreme figures at the Immortal King level, known to all, and connecting them with strands of Quasi-Immortal Emperor techniques.

"The Cloud Cauldron Ancestor is an expert in alchemy. His true form still lingers in the long river of time, and now he travels through the worlds only in his avatar."

"Dao Ancestor Jin Feng specializes in weapon crafting. He is currently in the Heng Hai region, worrying about his younger brother's future path to becoming an emperor."

"The Dao Ancestor Zhulong specializes in time, and now he also cultivates the 'Time-Traveling Method,' going against the flow of time to other ancient eras."

"Let's not mention Jiang Chen, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Qilin, and the future Qilin Dao Ancestor. Just treat them as mascots."

"The Buddha of Nirvana, through the aid of the Spirit Realm, completely disintegrated himself, manifesting countless incarnations, which are now among numerous Buddhist immortal kings, saving the suffering beings of all realms."

Immediately afterwards, Youxiong manifested a figure surrounded by dark matter, holding a celestial bow, sitting quietly at the end of reincarnation. He also manifested a figure that embodied the primordial true meaning of all things, like the abstract physical form of the earliest runes, standing side by side with a glimpse of the Desolate Emperor's back.

"Those guys with the fighting power to the end of the road, don't even think about them."

"I have a deep grudge against the supernatural and want to settle scores with them at all times. Right now, I am in front of the 'River Sacrifice' and keeping a close eye on the darkness to prevent these strange and ominous creatures from doing anything underhanded."

"Whether the Spirit Realm collapses or the situation of all the heavens and myriad realms changes drastically, they will not care as long as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths remain intact."

"Therefore, if we want to repair the [Spirit Realm], we can only look forward to the future Dao Ancestor."

The story makes no mention of the silkworm that is currently in the Heavenly Court, spinning its cocoon and undergoing metamorphosis; nor does it mention the monkey that re-enters the dream to meet the Great Orb of Light; nor does it mention the True Phoenix that is in the Pure Land of Salvation, comprehending tranquility and purity, and attempting to be reborn once again.

These three are his anchors in the mortal world, and also the guiding lights that can accelerate the return of his power. It is best not to move them if possible. Moreover, their Quasi-Immortal Emperor Laws and Quasi-Immortal Emperor Techniques are not suitable for repairing the problems that have appeared in the Spirit Realm.

Listening to Youxiong's analysis, Youyu pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up. "We are currently in a transitional period from the ancient era to the new era, and the next era is still uncertain. Once the events symbolized by the new era occur, the three supreme fortunes will appear. Is this an opportunity?"

"Moreover, repairing the problems of the [Spirit Realm] may also bring Xuanhuang Merit, which is a key time point to ascend the path of the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven' and attain the Dao Fruit of Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"If we can be the first to find the pioneers of this era, this is a golden opportunity that we have a chance to seize?"

Youxiong nodded, looking at Yu Yu with a gratified expression.

Children can be taught!
How could the future Shennong, the future Yan Emperor, the future Hengyu Emperor of the human race be a simpleton?
He must have been farming for too long. If we guide him to broaden his thinking, he will definitely become the human emperor who says "I have a friend" in the future.

You Xiong suddenly looked down at the foot of Funiu Mountain, where two siblings, manifesting as human bodies and snake tails, were slowly climbing the stone steps together, bearing immense pressure, and looking at the summit of Funiu Mountain with resolute expressions.

After a moment of contemplation, Youxiong summoned the Star-Patterned Bronze Mirror and, with the help of the boy's power, reached out and inscribed in the void a series of Daoist characters that faintly conveyed the Dao's essence.

In an instant, a scripture filled with the ultimate meaning of Yin and Yang, and another scripture filled with the ultimate meaning of creation, were combined into a book, transformed into two streams of light, scattered into the steps, reflected into the darkness, and transformed into an indescribable ultimate mystery.

Meanwhile, the star-patterned bronze mirror, the three-leaf sword grass, and the Youyu clan, who had witnessed the birth of the two scriptures, all fell into a subtle state of enlightenment.

The laws of the King Realm that lingered around them gradually manifested, splitting off a small wisp that carried a different ultimate charm, constantly filling in what they had cultivated and learned, attempting to explain the myriad things in heaven and earth, and encompassing all phenomena of the world.

Unfortunately, just a few minutes later, they both snapped out of their epiphany, feeling a mix of surprise and regret.

Yu bowed slightly to Youxiong, saying, "Thank you, elder brother. Such an opportunity is rare in this world."

With a touch of awe, he said, “It uses one principle to explain everything, it is so refined and pure, yet it encompasses everything. In the end, it uses one principle to generate ten thousand principles, and it is equal to the sum of all the laws of the heavens and the myriad worlds. Such an amazing method of enlightenment is to make one’s own ‘principle’ and ‘law’ stand shoulder to shoulder with all the principles of the worlds.”

"Once the final step is achieved, one might be considered the strongest even in the realm of the end of the road."

You Xiong nodded slightly, "Naturally, if one can truly reach the final step, one will be an absolute powerhouse in the End of the Road Domain."

"One who can expound all the myriad paths of the world can be called 'the end of the road awaiting sublimation,' which is the pinnacle of the 'end of the road' realm, only half a step away from the current realm of the Desolate Heaven Emperor."

"That's right. After taking this half step, what we will most likely see is not the current realm of the Desolate Emperor, but Eternal Silence."
-
Above the stone steps.

The two human prodigies, who had assumed the forms of human bodies and snake tails, suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking dazed.

They each came to understand two scriptures that perfectly suited them.

"The Ultimate Yin-Yang Dao"

"The Ultimate Path of Creation."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and muttered in unison, "What a strange feeling, as if it were created by our own future."

"The explanations of 'Tao' and 'Law' are so fitting."
