Living in the deep palace

"All of us humans can cultivate immortality!"

Su Chen's voice, at this moment, was no longer just words, but transformed into the decree of the Great Luo, the authority of order, and the will of the Jianmu tree!

This decree, centered on the azure-gold new sun (the Jianmu axis), instantly spread to every corner of the starry sky!
"boom--!"

The Great Dao of the Sky, which had just begun to revive, trembled violently under this decree! It was as if a giant dragon that had been sleeping for five million years had been awakened by its master's words!

"Cultivating immortality..."

"Cultivating Immortality!!"

On that life-bearing planet that Su Chen first paid attention to, in the sea of ​​consciousness of the billions of humans who had just been freed from the enslavement of evil spirits and were blindly worshipping the new sun, these two words suddenly exploded!

What an ancient, yet so unfamiliar, word this is!

Five million years of rule by the evil spirits had long since erased the word "immortal" from their minds!
All they know is feeding, bestowing favors, and being the progenitor of evil spirits.

But at this moment, the instant the words "cultivating immortality" were uttered!

As they bathed in the divine radiance of the Law of Life, deep within their purified souls, an instinct suppressed for five million years, inherited from the very source of their bloodline…

Wake up!
"Immortals...so we were once descendants of 'immortals'?!"

"That ancestor of evil spirits...that black sun...is a demon that stole our immortal path!"

"And the new sun in the sky... that figure... is... is our immortal ancestor who has come to save us!!"

"Greetings, Immortal Ancestor!"

"I beg the Immortal Ancestor to bestow upon me the Dharma!"

fanaticism!

A purer and more fervent faith than when they worshipped evil spirits before, at this moment, converged into a vast river of willpower, surging towards Su Chen at the center of the new sun.

Su Chen stood in the center of the new sun, his expression calm.

He sensed the immense power of that will, but did not absorb it.

"I am neither a god nor an ancestor."

"I am just a returning liquidator."

His gaze pierced through time and space, landing on that gap in time and space that he had hidden away.

It landed on the last true immortal, Gu Chenzi, who was sitting cross-legged, feeling the revival of the Great Dao in the outside world, with tears streaming down his face.

Su Chen's Law of Life had already healed his shattered True Immortal Dao Fruit.

At this moment, Gu Chenzi was immersed in the ecstasy of the return of the Great Dao and the sorrow of five million years of loneliness, unable to extricate himself.

"Gu Chenzi".

Su Chen's voice transcended time and space, resounding directly within the cave.

"boom!"

Gu Chenzi suddenly awoke! He stared in horror at the void!

He "saw" it!
Beyond that rift in time and space, the sea of ​​stars that should have been shrouded by a black sun was now replaced by a vast and boundless cyan-gold sun!

The overwhelming pressure of life and order caused even a True Immortal to instinctively submit!

“You…you…”

Gu Chenzi remembered the man in green robes who broke into his cave, suppressed the Xuanxian with one finger, and enlightened him with another!
"It's you! You...who exactly are you...?"

"The five million years of darkness have ended."

Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it contained an undeniable authority.

"The Heavenly Calamity is dead, and the heretical path has been destroyed."

"I am Su Chen, the master of Taiyi Dao Palace."

"Today, I return."

"Tai...Taiyi Dao Palace..."

Upon hearing these four words, Gu Chenzi's Dao Heart, which had been twisted by fear for five million years, shattered instantly! And then rebuilt itself!

"The Taiyi Dao Palace is still there?! The Dao Lord has returned?!"

He burst into tears!
"The path to immortality has not been extinguished!"

"Gu Chenzi, as the last True Immortal of the Azure Sky Star Sea." Su Chen's decree descended:

"How long are you going to hide?"

"come out."

"The Taiyi Dao Palace must be rebuilt!"

"You should ignite the first spark of this immortal path with your own hands."

boom!
Gu Chenzi's withered body suddenly trembled!
The turbidity and fear in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by the Dao and light that a true immortal should possess!
"Five million years...five million years!"

"I, Gu Chenzi... have finally waited for this day!"

He suddenly stood up and shattered the cave that had been hidden for millions of years with a single palm strike!

"Hey!"

His divine light, like that of a true immortal, transformed into a faint but resolute stream of light, bursting out of the rift between time and space!
This is the first time in five million years!
Following Su Chen, this sea of ​​stars...

The first ray of divine light belongs to the human race!
Gu Chenzi flew over the sea of ​​stars. He looked at Su Chen at the center of the new sun from afar. In front of the vast power of the Great Luo Dao, he prostrated himself across billions of star rivers!
"A True Immortal of the End Times of the Celestial Empire... Gu Chenzi!"

"Greetings, Master Taiyi!"

"Greetings to the Ancestor of the Human Race!!"

Su Chen nodded calmly.

A true immortal is too weak.

But this is an attitude, a symbol.

It is a symbol of the return of the immortals!

"not enough."

Su Chen's mind raced.

"boom!"

Beside him, in the radiance of the new sun, twenty incomparably powerful figures suddenly appeared!

It was none other than the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, the Ancient Venerable of Heavenly One, the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Jun... those twenty fourth-realm Venerables who followed him in his conquest of the Nether Lotus Territory!
As soon as they appeared, they saw the True Immortal Gu Chenzi prostrate in the sea of ​​stars.

Then, they sensed the revival of this universe!
They also saw...

Their lord has now transformed into the sun of the universe, becoming the axis of the Great Dao in this sea of ​​stars!

"This this……"

"My lord... he suppressed the Heavenly Calamity? He became the heaven of this universe?!"

Even a giant like the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, who was at the fourth realm, was deeply shaken and shocked!

They witnessed Su Chen's return with killing intent within his Dao Body World, but they never imagined that this reckoning... would be so glorious! So vast!
"My Lord's might is unparalleled!"

The Heavenly Venerable Wan Jun was the first to react. His fervent fighting spirit transformed into boundless worship, and he knelt on one knee!
"We! We pay homage to our Lord!"

"Congratulations to our Lord on the recapture of his homeland!"

The supreme pressure of twenty fourth-realm beings suddenly spread out!

The True Immortal Gu Chenzi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head!

"Twenty...twenty people?!"

"This is the fourth realm?! An aura ten thousand times stronger than that of the Black Abyss Master?!"

He was so horrified that he fell silent!

His Daoist master...

They actually brought twenty terrifying beings at the fourth realm?!

This power...

No wonder! No wonder he could kill Tian'e with a single blow!

"Gu Chenzi".

Su Chen's voice rang out.

"These twenty are the guardian deities of the Taiyi Dao Palace."

"And you are the Dharma Transmission Elder of Taiyi Dao Palace."

"Today, we stand here at the site of this calamity, in the heart of this sea of ​​stars..."

Su Chen's voice transformed into thunder!
"Rebuild the Taiyi Dao Palace!"

"As per the decree of the Dao Ancestor (Our Lord)!"

Gu Chenzi and the twenty Venerables shouted in unison!

Su Chen stood at the center of the new sun axis and slowly raised his hand.

"Boom!"

The Jianmu axis, which had just devoured all of Tian'e's origins and advanced to the late stage of the Great Luo realm, experienced a surge in divine power!
"Congeal!"

Su Chen gave a soft shout.

The place where the Heavenly Calamity fell, the remnants of the black sun, the shattered gaping hole in the Great Dao...

Under the immense power of the Jianmu axis, the reshaping begins!
Order is the foundation, and life is the guide!
Su Chen's supreme power at the late stage of the Great Luo realm transformed into a giant hand of creation!
A...

The vast, azure-gold platform, beyond description, slowly coalesced and took shape at the center of the universe!

This platform is larger than a galaxy!

On it, the Daoist patterns of the Jianmu tree are engraved, flowing with the divine light of order.

It is the center of this sea of ​​stars!
It's the light source of Shinri!

That is also...

The mountain gate of the new Taiyi Dao Palace!

"This is the Taiyi Dao Platform!"

Su Chen's voice echoed throughout the starry sea.

His Jianmu axis, which had transformed into the new sun, slowly retracted, and endless divine light disappeared into the Taiyi Dao Platform.

The Jianmu tree's axis transformed into the array's core and power source. Su Chen's blood-stained blue robe slowly descended, sitting cross-legged at the very center of the platform.

He is no longer the sun.

But he is the embodiment of the Great Dao!

"Gu Chenzi, the twentieth Venerable, please take your seats."

Su Chen said calmly.

"Yes!"

Twenty-one streaks of light flew over and stood respectfully behind Su Chen.

Su Chen's gaze pierced through the endless void.

He "saw" countless humans on those billions of planets, worshipping devoutly with eyes full of longing.

They were cleansed from the corruption of evil spirits.

They... are the best uncut gems.

They are the first generation to revive the immortal path!
“You all call me the Ancestor of the Dao.”

"Today, I will perform the duties of the Dao Ancestor."

"I shall stand upon this Taiyi Dao Platform..."

"Preach the sermon! Spread the Dharma!"

"The Great Luo preaches!"

Endless brilliance burst forth from the ancient eyes of Tianyi Ancient Venerable!
They follow Su Chen precisely for this supreme Dao!
Su Chen slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, his divine sense, which was at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, was no longer an aura of pressure, nor a means of searching for souls.

Instead, it transformed into the gentlest spring breeze.

Centered on the Taiyi Dao Platform, it swept over every living being in this sea of ​​stars!
"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao..."

Su Chen spoke.

What he spoke of was neither the profound concept of the Great Luo nor the true Great Dao of the Fourth Realm.

He was talking about the most basic, the most fundamental things...

Road!
He asked, "What is spiritual energy?"
He asked, "What is spiritual practice?"
He asked, "What is the Dao heart of the human race?!"
boom!
Su Chen's voice is not transmitted through sound.

It is through the resonance of the Great Way!
Every human being, regardless of age or location, clearly "heard" this voice of the Great Dao at this moment!

This is not indoctrination.

This is enlightening!

"Om-!"

As Su Chen began his sermon.

His life-giving principle, centered on the Jianmu axis, also moves accordingly!

The newly revived celestial avenue, the sparse spiritual energy...

At this moment, it was forcibly activated by Su Chen's Great Luo Dao Power!

"Crash-!"

An incredible scene happened!

The entire celestial cosmos!

It's raining!
This is no ordinary water.

This is... Lingyu!
It was Su Chen who forcibly created the Great Dao Rain by using the Law of Life as a guide and the power of the Jianmu tree as a source!
"The rain...it's rain imbued with spiritual energy!"

Gu Chenzi was the first to sense it!
He was breathing heavily!

This spiritual rain contains the Daoist essence of Su Chen, a Great Luo Immortal!

His newly solidified True Immortal Dao Fruit was rapidly ascending under the nourishment of this spiritual rain!
Early stage of True Immortal...Mid stage of True Immortal!
The bottleneck is gone!
"What a miracle!" Gu Chenzi exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"The Daoist Ancestor preached the Dao, and the Great Dao transformed into rain!"

"This...this is a scene only found in ancient mythology!"

The twenty Venerables also had solemn expressions as they greedily absorbed the Daoist essence within the spiritual rain.

Their true Dao Seeds of the Fourth Realm, under the influence of Su Chen's Order Authority, became more refined and closer to the essence of the Great Dao!
And those billions of mortals...

The moment the spiritual rain fell upon them.

"what!"

"My body feels so warm!"

"My leg... my leg that was broken thirty years ago has grown back?!"

"I...I 'saw' it! I 'saw' the air!"

"boom!"

On that life-bearing planet.

The most devout young man whom Su Chen had once "observed".

The moment the voice of the Great Dao enters the ear, and the spiritual rain enters the body.

His body, reshaped by the law of life...

A faint, yet real, spiritual root...

It's formed!
"Buzz!"

The boy, blessed with a sudden inspiration, mastered the skill without a teacher and sat cross-legged!

He became the one in the past five million years!

The first one, relying on the new method... entered the Qi Refining stage...

New Era Cultivators!
……

……

The Great Luo preached for seven days and seven nights.

These seven days and seven nights were seven days of rebirth for the vast starry sky!
Countless humans were transformed amidst this miracle of the Great Dao's voice and the universal spiritual rain.

One percent of people... awakened their spiritual roots!

One in a thousand people... can draw qi into their bodies on the spot!
Those first batch of awakened youths have already reached the third level of Qi Refining!
The seed of immortality...

On this pasture that had been silent for five million years, in the most brutal and unbelievable way...

root!

germination!

Seven days later.

The sound of the Great Dao gradually ceased.

But the new sun that the Taiyi Dao Platform transformed into continues to burn, constantly providing this universe with the source of the laws of life and spiritual energy.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His chaotic Dao Eyes, blue on the left and gold on the right, swept over this vibrant sea of ​​stars, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

"The Way has been passed down."

"The fire has been lit."

"Next..."

Su Chen's gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

He "looked" beyond the starry sky.

That chaotic fault line that separates the present world from the ruins.

Tian'e is merely a traitor within the family.

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus is the real enemy!

It's that Fifth Realm being who could descend at any moment!
"My lord."

Tianyi Ancient Venerable seemed to sense Su Chen's killing intent. He stepped forward solemnly and said, "This star sea has been reborn. But it is also fragile."

“That’s right.” Su Chen nodded. “It needs to be protected.”

Su Chen slowly stood up.

He stood in the center of the Taiyi Dao Platform, and his supreme Dao power as a late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal erupted once again!

"Tianyi!"

"The disciple is here!"

"You are an expert in formations, and today I have seen through it!"

"I will use this vast starry sky as my battle formation!"

"Use this Taiyi Dao Platform (the Jianmu axis) as the array's core!"

"With you twenty Venerables and the True Immortal Gu Chenzi as the foundation of the formation!"

"I will seal off this sea of ​​stars!"

"boom--!"

Su Chen raised his hand!

"Great Luo Law - [Void]! Boundary Determination!"

"Great Luo Law - [Tomb]! Annihilation!"

"The Great Luo Law - [Benefit]! Slay the Immortal!"

"The authority to maintain order...legislation!"

Su Chen unleashed his late-stage Great Luo Dao without reservation!
"Om-!"

Beyond the cosmic barrier of the starry sky, within that chaotic fault line!
An invisible net, constructed from the power of the Jianmu tree and the divine light of order, suddenly unfolded!

This vast net completely envelops the entire starry sky!

Lockdown! (End of Chapter)
