Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 615: Three Humane Sacrifices
Time flies like water, and the survival of the Heavenly Palace depends on Li Changshou's thoughts.

Surrounded by powerful enemies and true immortals making trouble, the heavenly court without an immortal figure in charge seems to be in danger of destruction at any time.

The legend goes that after the death of an immortal dragon, the dragon essence merged into the mountains and rivers, making this mountain range what it is today.

Although the essence of heaven and earth in this mountain is first-class, there are not many cultivators stationed here.

Breathing in the essence of heaven and earth here for a long time will cause changes in living beings, thus affecting the foundation of the Tao.

On this day, the originally extremely desolate True Dragon Mountains welcomed the garrison of the armies of the two great divine dynasties.

The soldiers of the Guanghan Divine Dynasty gathered around a Palace of Eight Virtues, all kinds of immortal lights were flowing, and the atmosphere of the Celestial Dynasty was in the air.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Court had a majestic military formation, with three great generals leading 30,000 immortal soldiers to clear the way, protecting the Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot that Li Changshou was riding in the center.

Inside the Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot, Li Changshou had his eyes slightly closed, showing no signs of nervousness. However, outside the chariot, the group of ministers accompanying him did not have the same confidence as him.

Especially after seeing the thousands of golden lights of merit emanating from the Hall of Eight Virtues, their worries grew even more.

"Your Majesty, you haven't become an immortal yet. Where do you get the confidence to meet with His Majesty Guanghan in person?" A minister asked to others.

"Believe in your majesty." Another minister had great trust in Li Changshou.

"I am not questioning Your Majesty, but I am worried that Your Majesty will lose face for our Heavenly Court during the meeting with Emperor Guanghan." The minister said again.

"My dear colleagues, does anyone know what kind of evolutionary system His Majesty is practicing? Why do I feel that the divine aura of His Majesty seems to be getting stronger day by day?" asked another minister in the crowd.

“Your Majesty is practicing the Great Sacrifice Dao. Perhaps he has reached the legendary holy sacrifice, or even the realm of divine sacrifice, so he is worthy of the True Immortal Saint of the Guanghan Divine Dynasty.” Tai Changqing, as the earliest minister to come into contact with Li Changshou, introduced him to the other ministers.

"Great Sacrifice Dao, there are also Saint Sacrifice and God Sacrifice? How come I have never heard of it. Isn't the realm of the Supreme Humanity after the Mahayana realm?"

"It was only after discussing Taoism with Your Majesty that I learned that the real Great Sacrifice Dao method, Mahayana is not the upper limit of the human system. Above the Mahayana realm, there is no need to ascend to the realm of the Supreme Human Realm, but there are three sacrifices that lead directly to the true peak of humanity."

"Which three sacrifices?"

"Sacred sacrifices, divine sacrifices and sacrifices to the Tao. A sacred sacrifice is to become a saint from a human, and to conform to the Tao of Heaven. This is a saint of the Tao of Heaven. A divine sacrifice is to become a god from a saint, and to have a soul that transcends the myriad ways of heaven and earth, and to enjoy great freedom and ease. This is the innate holiness. As for the Taoist sacrifice, it means the great sacrifice of the Tao, to use the myriad ways of heaven and earth to sacrifice one's own Tao, so that one's own Tao can complete the extreme transformation, and truly transcend the mundane world from the level of the Tao. After completing the Taoist sacrifice, one can directly enter the realm of immortality and set foot on the immortal road of the mortal world."

"The Great Sacrifice Dao Method actually has such a secret? Why have we never heard of this before?"

"I also learned from His Majesty that the practice of the Great Sacrifice Dao method actually requires the sacrifice of one's own body."

"What about those above the mortal immortals? Are they the true immortals, the immortal kings and the immortal emperors?" another minister asked.

"Above the Dao Sacrifice, there are the Longevity Sacrifice, the Immortality Sacrifice, and the Eternal Sacrifice, three sacrifices from small to large. As for how to practice, and what is the difference between ordinary True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors, I don't know. Perhaps one day in the future, His Majesty is willing to teach his great Dao, and we will have the honor of glimpsing the true mystery of the Great Sacrifice Dao."

"Then what realm is your Majesty at now? Will you be at a disadvantage against His Majesty Guanghan?"

"Since Your Majesty has agreed to meet at Zhenlong Mountain, you must have already entered the realm of Dao sacrifice. Do you still remember the vision of Ten Thousand Daos Paying Homage to the Emperor that appeared above Your Majesty's Imperial Palace?"

"That's good." The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

“I don’t know whether the Guanghan Divine Dynasty wants to be an enemy of our Heavenly Court. I heard that the Emperor Guanghan has a daughter with peerless beauty, known as the Guanghan Fairy. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Guanghan Divine Dynasty through marriage.” Another minister said.

They are not afraid of fighting, but they would rather avoid fearless sacrifice.

If the Heavenly Court is given another ten thousand years to develop, they will not take any other divine dynasty in the world seriously.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Since the establishment of Heaven, troubles have never ceased, and the threats from the surrounding divine dynasties are one after another.

"stop!"

Soon, the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Chariot arrived at the Dragon Head Peak of the True Dragon Mountain Range, and the vanguard general immediately stopped the team.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please come up to Longshou Peak for a chat."

At this moment, the voice of Emperor Guanghan was heard from the Eight Virtues Palace opposite.

Then, a man in an ice-blue dragon robe walked out of the hall.

There was also a stunningly beautiful woman beside him.

As they appeared, golden light of merit formed a divine avenue under their feet that led directly to Longshou Peak.

And Li Changshou also opened his eyes at this moment.

When he stepped out of the carriage of the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Chariot, all the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be worshipping him. Various visions of true spirits appeared in the void, paving a staircase leading to the peak of the mountain for him.

Every step seemed to be transformed from a mythical beast. Patterns of real dragons, celestial phoenixes, unicorns, black tortoises and other mythical beasts shone brightly on the steps, as if all the heavens and all the laws were willing to submit to him.

Moreover, the gorgeous thirteen-color Heavenly Emperor robe he was wearing attracted everyone's attention.

Even the soldiers and generals in heaven are no exception.

They had never seen Li Changshou in such a gorgeous outfit.

But in the eyes of Saint Guanghan, the only true immortal at the scene, that was not the case.

What he saw was not splendor, but a supreme majesty that transcended everything above, as if the end of the avenue was not enough to demonstrate the Taoist charm contained in the thirteen-color divine light.

“With such a great foundation, no wonder he dared to establish the Heavenly Court.” Saint Guanghan marveled in his heart, and then climbed up the Dragon Head Peak.

Li Changshou was not slow either, and he reached the top of the mountain right after him.

“Greetings, fellow Taoist.” Emperor Guanghan bowed to Li Changshou and said, without any intention of intimidating Li Changshou.

“Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoist.” Li Changshou also returned the greeting.

“Qingwu, why don’t you go and meet Fellow Daoist Li quickly?” Emperor Guanghan saw his daughter staring at Li Changshou in a daze and hurriedly urged her.

"Qingwu greets the senior." Fairy Guanghan looked enlightened for a moment before she bowed to Li Changshou.

After Li Changshou nodded, he turned to ask His Majesty Guanghan: "I wonder what you want to discuss with me here?"

"It's not me who wants to make an appointment with you, but my daughter who wants to make an appointment with you." A loving expression appeared on the face of Emperor Guanghan, and then he pointed to Fairy Guanghan beside him.

"Oh? So it's the princess who wants to see me?" Li Changshou looked at Fairy Guanghan again.

"The Taoist Ancestor of Longevity." Suddenly, Fairy Guanghan called out a name that Li Zhi had not heard for several epochs.

"Are you Yi Qingwu?" In a trance, Li Zhi seemed to see an old friend and asked subconsciously.

"You are indeed the Taoist of Longevity." Fairy Guanghan seemed relieved, as if she had met an old friend.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Emperor Guanghan's eyes. Although his daughter was less than a thousand years old, her Taoism had already reached the pinnacle of humanity. She was only one step away from surviving the catastrophe and becoming an immortal. Her talent was far superior to his.

He hoped that his daughter would surpass him in the future and become the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea of ​​the Guanghan Divine Dynasty. She might even be able to lead the Divine Dynasty to be promoted to the Holy Court and become a true Immortal King.

The heavens and all worlds are vast and boundless, and there are many creatures at the level of true immortals.

However, evolvers at the Immortal King level are extremely rare, and there are probably less than a hundred Immortal Kings in all the heavens and worlds combined.

Although there are legends about the Immortal King in Ziwei Ancient Star, all the creatures who became the Immortal King disappeared without a trace.

It seemed as if it was impossible to become an Immortal King in this small world of Ziwei Ancient Star.

The level of "Daozu" is even higher than that of Immortal King. Only the strong ones who have opened up an evolutionary path and surpassed the Immortal King are qualified to be called Daozu.

The ultimate level of the Dao Ancestor is the Road-Ending Level Being, which is what the world calls the Immortal Emperor.

"Could it be that the other party is the Taoist priest who has come back to his roots?" For a moment, because of the title, Saint Guanghan had many mixed thoughts.

Even at this moment he felt that the daughter he had raised for thousands of years was so strange.

As an evolver at the level of True Immortal, he should have remained calm in the face of major events, but now he can hardly hold it back.

"Qingwu, do you know Fellow Daoist Li?" Emperor Guanghan tried his best to remain calm.

"Father, I know Taoist Changshou. The evolutionary system he developed was praised by the three Heavenly Emperors. He also has amazing talent in perfecting the evolutionary system. Ever since I heard that the Lord of Heaven is named Li Changshou, I have wanted to find out more. Now that the other party is indeed Taoist Changshou, I am finally relieved."

Fairy Guanghan seemed to have no intention of hiding her identity anymore. She confronted Emperor Guanghan directly and revealed the truth that she was a reincarnation.

“Fellow Daoist, can you please allow me and the fairy to have a good reminiscing?” Li Changshou also said to His Majesty Guanghan with a gentle face.

"You guys?" Emperor Guanghan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Originally, he was thought to be the main person in this meeting, but he became an outsider right from the beginning.

"Don't worry, father. I know what to do."

Next, Fairy Guanghan stabbed Saint Guanghan, making him completely redundant.

"Humph!"

Emperor Guanghan seemed a little angry. He snorted coldly and said, "No matter who you were before, I am the one who makes the decision here now."

As if he was unwilling to abandon his dignity as the emperor of the Celestial Empire, an icy and piercing dragon power immediately burst out from Emperor Guanghan's body, as if the ancient Taiyin dragon had descended.

The originally clear sky suddenly began to snow. The extremely cold air emitted a fierce murderous intent, as if warning the world that any living being who disobeyed him would be punished.

"Why are you doing this, my friend? I just want to have a small gathering with an old friend. Why can't you help me?"

Seeing this, Li Changshou did not feel any pressure, but shook his head and said.

However, Yi Qingwu did not speak to stop Emperor Guanghan from getting angry. Instead, she stared at Li Zhi with interest, as if she wanted to see how Li Zhi would break the impasse when faced with the murderous intent of the True Immortal.

"The murderous intent of Taiyin will harm the harmony of nature, so you better put it away, fellow Taoist. It is a beautiful time with a gentle breeze and clear sky."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the environment where snowflakes were falling suddenly returned to its previous state. The strong Taiyin murderous intent also flowed back like a tide and finally returned to the body of Saint Guanghan.

“Just follow your words!”

There was a flash of shock in Emperor Guanghan's eyes.

The great magical power of making things happen as soon as you say them only appears in legends, and no one has ever achieved this kind of magical power in reality.

According to legend, only the true Lord of Heaven can display the supreme supernatural power to command all the spirits in the heavens and earth.

Apart from this, even the Immortal Emperor cannot cultivate this heaven-defying magical power.

"You are just a human supreme being, but you have cultivated such magical powers. I underestimated you. However, there is a qualitative difference between the laws of humanity and the laws of immortals. Today, I will let you know the price of disobeying me."

As soon as Lord Guanghan finished speaking, an ice-blue divine sword appeared in his hand. There were fine dragon patterns on the sword body, and it looked like a dragon-patterned immortal sword made by mixing eternal blue gold and dragon-patterned black gold.

"Where is the Golden Warrior? Please suppress this beast in the Eight Virtues Hall."

Following Li Zhi's order, two chaotic gods and demons who were ten thousand feet tall and wearing yellow robes suddenly appeared in the void, as if they had the supreme power to suppress the heavens.

The two golden strong men stretched out their big hands and restrained Emperor Guanghan.

Then, they grabbed him like a chicken and threw him into the palace where he had been sitting when he came. Then the two golden warriors turned directly into two door god portraits and were pasted on the gate of the Eight Virtues Hall.

"Dang, Dang, Dang..."

No matter how loud the noise was in the hall, the palace seemed to have turned into an indestructible cage, completely locking up Emperor Guanghan.

"The Taoist master's magical powers."

Seeing this, Fairy Guanghan praised him repeatedly, without feeling any empathy for the humiliation suffered by Emperor Guanghan.

"If the fairy is not in Ye Fan's fairyland to receive blessings, why does she appear in this world?" Li Zhi asked directly.

"Master, you don't know that the fairyland today is no longer the same as before. Ever since Ye Fan took the initiative to return to the void, everyone in the fairyland has gradually parted ways, and many people have even become strangers. In order to restore their Taoism, everyone has tried every possible way. In the end, they found that after reincarnating to this world and returning again, they can not only restore their Taoism, but also restore the memories that were cut off that year."

It was a rare opportunity for Yin Qingwu to meet someone she could talk to, so she told Li Zhi all the conflicts in the fairyland.

When Ye Fan was around, those conflicts could be suppressed, but after Ye Fan was gone, the order in the fairyland gradually got out of control.

Even Ye Tong, Ji Ziyue, Ye Fan's relatives were unable to control the order that was gradually getting out of control.

In the end, some people, led by Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan's direct disciples, felt that Ye Fan should return as soon as possible.

Some other people, led by Ye Yishui, wanted to take this opportunity to ascend to the realm of their true self above the sacrificial path.

To sum it up in one sentence, the fairyland is no longer a pure land.

Even the brothers and sisters almost became enemies.

All in all, it's a mess.

Yi Qingwu couldn't stand staying here anymore, so she reincarnated into this world.

"It's so chaotic?" Li Zhi was a little surprised after hearing Yi Qingwu's words.

But when I think back on it, it seems reasonable.

The people who follow Ye Fan do not hate each other only because Ye Fan is the center.

But when Ye Fan, the person who can suppress all conflicts, disappears, can others still coexist peacefully?

Take Ji Ziyue and her daughter, and Ye Yishui and her son for example.

After Ye Fan disappears, can they really coexist peacefully?
The power and strength that Ye Fan possesses far exceeds that of any earthly emperor.

The emperor's children couldn't live in peace for the throne, let alone them?

Li Zhi suddenly discovered that the direction of this ancient history seemed to be much more complicated and dangerous than he had imagined.
