Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 694 The Daoist Lord Descends the Mountain and Enters the Chamber to Preach the Dao! (Two Chapters Combined)

hum~
The Taoist lowered his eyes, and wherever his gaze fell, the void seemed to open up as if by its own consciousness, like a naughty puppy rolling over on its belly in front of its owner.

"Young Master..."

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Ling Shu Tongzi cautiously raised his eyes, but the Taoist was nowhere to be seen outside the secluded bamboo building.

Not only the Taoist priest, but even the Bitter Sea Bell that hung in front of the door has disappeared.

"what?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi was stunned. Since he entered the Dao and became a spirit, this was the first time he had seen his little master come down the mountain.

"Take me with you!"

Ling Shu Tong Zi hurriedly got up and looked around. He saw wisps of chaotic mist flowing and intertwining in the void, like waterfalls and tides.

Above the heavens, the sun and moon appeared, stars shone brightly, divine light and celestial light intertwined like a rosy cloud, magnificent and vast, displaying all kinds of wonders and illuminating the entire Dongxuan Great Realm.

"This is?"

In the vast world of Dongxuan, in the land of the Western Sea, a Taoist priest who was sitting in meditation, breathing out rosy light, suddenly looked up and saw that the chaotic mist was intertwined into rosy light, within which various spirits appeared.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Fire Phoenix, and Black Tortoise emerged together, soaring and roaring in the sky, as if cheering and jumping for joy.

"The Dao Lord is on his way!"

The Taoist priest jumped up as if his backside was on fire, staring in astonishment.

Having been a disciple for nearly a thousand years, this was the first time he had ever seen this 'Daoist Emperor's Journey' painting, which he had only ever seen in the myriad phenomena of the Great Void!
You should know that even when the master came out of seclusion to preach in the past, the disciples listened to the teachings in the quiet bamboo forest and never left the bamboo forest, let alone this time when it seemed that they were going down the mountain.

"call out!"

The Taoist priest soared into the sky, surrounded by a swirling net of nine-colored smoke, covering a distance of 300,000 li in an instant.

Yet, one could see wondrous sights appearing and changing throughout the vast Dongxuan Realm, sometimes with celestial light like a waterfall, sometimes with the chorus of ten thousand birds, and all living beings, whether sentient or non-sentient, prostrating themselves in worship across the mountains, the earth, and the boundless ocean.

In the easternmost part of the Dongxuan Great Realm, beneath towering trees, amidst the West Sea, East Sea, and South Sea... a place where wondrous sights intertwine, figures soar into the sky, flying back to Dongxuan Mountain.

"hold head high!"

In the 666th level small cave, Yu Huanzhen, who was meditating and practicing magic, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the chaotic mist in the void flowing like water.

An indescribable fragrance of incense filled the air.

In an instant, her entire cavern resounded, and countless plants, trees, and mountains shook, as if they were about to enter the Dao and awaken their spirituality, or as if they were bowing in worship.

"Master is traveling?!"

Yu Huanzhen stood up in shock, caught the falling treasure, and left the cave with a thought.

On Dongxuan Mountain, celestial light intertwined. On the steps and along the mountain path, fellow disciples bowed and paid their respects, all of them showing shock and astonishment.

She quickly glanced around and saw Yuan Han, Gu Xuansheng, and others present, all looking on with surprise and uncertainty.

"Welcome back, Master, from seclusion!"

Yu Huanzhen bowed twice, and the sound immediately echoed throughout the area.

Woohoo~
An invisible aura permeated the heavens and earth. All sentient beings in the Dongxuan Great Realm felt the heavens and earth tremble, the sound of the Dao echoed, and their bodies and minds were cleansed.

"The ruler of all laws, the sovereign of the Great Dao!"

Yu Huanzhen felt an overwhelming sense of reverence and awe. She dared not look up, only glancing at the high place out of the corner of her eye.

Amidst the swirling chaos, Daoist Tianyu walked slowly, each step seemingly treading on the dividing line between heaven and earth, with myriad laws reflecting various wondrous scenes.

On and off the mountain, along the mountain path, all the disciples of Dongxuan were trembling with fear. They felt the Daoist voice infusing them with wisdom, and all their confusion was resolved. Their internal magical power flowed and rose steadily, as if they had taken a great elixir!

"Wow~"

In a single instant, a crane pierced through the void. It was a spirit beast from some unknown grotto-heaven. It let out a joyful cry and entered the Dao through hearing the sound.

It circled in the void and landed, its long neck bowing to the ground, expressing its utmost respect in gratitude to the Daoist Lord for his enlightenment.

"Master."

At the top of the thousand steps, among all the disciples, Daoist Fuyuan bowed and asked, "You have suddenly emerged from seclusion. Has something important happened?"

Unlike the other disciples who entered the room to listen in, Daoist Fuyuan knew that his master was in seclusion to cultivate an extremely terrifying supernatural power and would never emerge from seclusion unless there was a major event.

In the past, when the Bodhisattva Xuanyuan visited, he was not even able to enter the mountain.

"This is a joyous occasion."

Daoist Tianyu paused slightly and glanced at Daoist Fuyuan:
"Let's go down the mountain."

"what?"

What joyous occasion is it that requires me to descend the mountain?
Daoist Fuyuan was taken aback, but dared not be negligent. He respectfully accepted the order and then disappeared into Dongxuan Mountain. However, he was filled with doubt and secretly passed on the message to one of his disciples.

"Master!"

Feeling the Daoist sound of all laws converging, Tong Heihu and Wei Xuanying felt a tremor in their hearts. They never expected that their return to the mountain to buy elixirs would coincide with their master's outing.

The two were not the only ones who were excited; Qi Yun, who was half a step behind them, was also filled with awe.

Having cultivated the Dharma Heaven, he felt this far more acutely than most of those present. This was not the convergence of all laws, but rather the Dao giving birth to all laws!

In his perception, the Taoist priest descending the steps was the Great Dao that traversed all realms and heavens!
"Master doesn't seem to be planning to go down the mountain..."

Some disciples had doubts in their hearts, but dared not think too much about it, much less ask.

"Young Master..."

Only Ling Shu Tong Zi followed quickly. He bowed and followed behind Dao Jun like a little monkey. To his surprise, his master stopped on the three hundred and thirty-three steps.

That is……

'It seems to be Li Yuan's residence...'

The thought flashed through Ling Shu Tong Zi's mind, and he immediately turned pale with shock. Amidst the shocked and puzzled gazes of the Dongxuan Mountain disciples, Tianyu Daojun entered that small cave heaven.

"You didn't take me with you again..."

Shocked, Ling Shu Tong Zi couldn't help but stomp his foot and shamelessly followed him inside.

He and Li Yuan were very close, so he could go in directly without needing permission at all.

"This……"

Yuan Han's pupils contracted when he caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but look at Yu Huanzhen, who was even more dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief.

"boom!"

Almost the instant Tianyu Daojun stepped into the small cave heaven, an extremely dazzling light burst forth from the cave heaven, weaving into a scene under the watchful eyes of many Dongxuan disciples.

Within, five colors intertwine and flow like the aurora borealis, and faintly, various spiritual scenes can be seen reflected, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"This is... a phenomenon of the Dao Body?!"

"The disciples in those 333 minor grotto-heavens have nurtured Dao bodies? This interweaving of five colors seems to be a Five Elements Dharma Body?"

"It should be the Five Extremes Divine Body!"

The disciples of Dongxuan Mountain have a broad perspective, and many of the inner disciples are themselves gifted with divine or demonic abilities, so they are not unfamiliar with the extraordinary phenomena of the Dao body.

Some disciples even recognized it as a phenomenon of the Five Elements Dao Body.

However, after recognizing this extraordinary phenomenon of the Dao Body, the disciples became even more puzzled. The gestation of a Dao Body was not uncommon for them, let alone for their own master.

Let alone this strange phenomenon being only at the Dharma Body level, even if it were at the Divine Body level, or even the Saint Body level, it wouldn't be possible for my master to come down the mountain to observe it...

"what happened?"

Yu was somewhat dazed, and unconsciously felt a chill on her back. She stared blankly at the five elements-based Daoist phenomenon.

"Om~"

Suddenly, the moment the five elemental phenomena disappeared, many disciples present felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if night had abruptly fallen.

"Ok?"

Yuan Han was startled.

After the physical phenomenon disappeared, the aurora formed by the convergence of five-colored light did not dissipate, but instead disappeared into another phenomenon that manifested.

It was a scene of overwhelming darkness, with five-colored aurora beams crisscrossing and tearing through the endless darkness, as if they were heading straight to the beginning of the Great Dao.

It's as if a line of light pierced through the darkness at the very beginning of time!

Its light crisscrosses, then immediately shifts between two colors, evolving into yin and yang...

"Yin Yang Sacred Body!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise. Yu Huanzhen looked over and saw a young man in a blue robe named Yun Heguang, one of the contemporary disciples, who came from the same realm as Daoist Fuyuan.

"This is an extraordinary phenomenon of the Yin-Yang Sacred Body being conceived! I witnessed it with my own eyes when Senior Brother Fuyuan was conceiving his Dao Body!"

Yun Heguang's eyes widened in shock, finding it unbelievable: "The Yin-Yang Sacred Body phenomenon has appeared, so how come the Five Elements Aurora has not yet dissipated?"

Two body types?

Many disciples of Dongxuan Mountain had this thought in their minds.

There are naturally many types of physical constitutions, such as the Five Elements Body, which is a top-level body formed by the convergence of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Yin-Yang Sacred Body is the ultimate sacred body formed by the convergence of Yin and Yang.

The question is, how could these two extraordinary phenomena of the Dao arise simultaneously...?

"wrong!"

Yu Huanzhen looked up and saw Yuan Han in shock and disbelief, but he recognized what kind of Dao Body this was:
"Chaotic Sacred Body!"

"what?!"

"It actually gave birth to a Chaos Saint Body?!"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The entire Dongxuan Mountain was in an uproar.

The Tao has countless forms, with the Law as its foundation, the God as its center, and the Sage as its highest.

The Chaos Sacred Body is one of the nine supreme sacred bodies throughout history, on par with the Enlightenment Sacred Body and the Myriad Transformations Sacred Body!

But what caused the uproar was not only the extreme rarity of the Chaos Saint Body.

But because...

"It seems that my master is..."

Upon realizing this, all the disciples of Dongxuan Mountain, including Yuan Han, couldn't help but gasp.

His gaze as he looked up at the 333 steps shifted dramatically:
"...The Chaos Holy Body!"

……

"call!"

"Suck!"

In the deep darkness, Li Yuan heard incredibly long breathing sounds. After the intertwined two-colored light disappeared, he fell into a state of unconsciousness.

In a daze, he felt as if he were walking alone in an endless, deep darkness, with no light in sight.

He vaguely felt as if he were climbing a mountain.

But with each step he took, he felt incredibly tired, as if he were about to exhaust all the knowledge and experience he had accumulated throughout his life.

'The Taoist priest wants to climb to the highest point...'

Even without realizing it, Li Yuan seemed to have realized something, and he climbed step by step in the darkness until he could no longer move even one more step.

"It's over...we weren't prepared!"

The moment he emerged from the darkness, Li Yuan finally realized that it was not he who had climbed and ascended in the darkness, but his own innate talent!
But he didn't make it to the top...

"?!"

Li Yuan struggled desperately, trying to climb again, but only felt the darkness recede and all his lost senses return, making him feel his own existence once more.

"Ok?"

The moment his senses returned, Li Yuan was suddenly stunned.

In that instant, everything he perceived changed. There was no physical body, no divine realm, no bamboo pavilion cave... In its place was a void and endless, complex light.

"Wow!"

In less than a moment, his senses changed again, and Li Yuan saw himself.

The wisps of chaotic energy enveloped him like a large cocoon, nourishing his essence and spirit.

"The Dao Body has been formed..."

Suppressing his disappointment at failing to reach the summit, Li Yuan focused on sensing the changes within himself.

The magical power he had prepared to transform his body was completely exhausted, and both small gourds fell to the ground. But when he focused his mind for a moment, he found that his magical power was actually recovering automatically.
The strands of energy converged into the Dao, much faster than when he practiced his own cultivation techniques, as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was naturally gathering towards him.

"It's not just about recovery!"

Li Yuan was startled.

To gather enough of the five elements' magical power, he cultivated the power of the White Tiger, the Fire Phoenix, and the Xuanhuang Qilin respectively. However, he then focused on the power of the Azure Emperor, so the growth of these three types of magical power was quite slow.

When practicing cultivation techniques, it's impossible to simultaneously promote all five types of magical power; there must be a focus. But at this moment, he only felt that all five types of his magical power were slowly increasing...

"A Dao body based on the Five Elements?"

As Li Yuan was pondering this, he suddenly heard a screeching sound coming from inside the courtyard.

"A little mouse?!"

Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the courtyard, a white-haired Taoist priest slowly walked towards the bamboo building. The priest's aura was restrained, but the entire cave was shaking and groaning as if it could not bear the weight.

All the spirit puppets lay prostrate on the ground, unable to move, while the little mouse lay trembling on the ground, letting out a sharp screech that startled it awake.

"This Taoist priest..."

Just a glance from afar left Li Yuan's mind blank. He couldn't help but tremble all over. His body, spirit, spiritual form, and even the magic power and spells he had cultivated were all shaking.

An unprecedentedly powerful expert!

"What level is this?!"

Li Yuan was startled, then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he turned and bowed deeply.

"Disciple Li Yuan greets Master!"

"Squeak~"

Outside the courtyard, the little mouse trembled, its small eyes filled with terror. But suddenly, it seemed to sense something, its body stiffened, and then a gray light surged forth.

In a few breaths, the little mouse was gone from the gray light, replaced by a chubby little boy who looked about two or three years old.

"Squeak~"

The chubby boy was overjoyed, never expecting that he would actually achieve enlightenment so quickly.

"Get up."

Daoist Tianyu looked at the bamboo building.

In a flash of light, Li Yuan was already bowing outside the courtyard: "I was unaware of Master's arrival. I hope Master will forgive me."

“Before you entered the sect, I took a look at you from afar. At that time, your talent was just beginning to emerge, and you should have been developing a Five Elements Body. I misjudged you.”

Tianyu Daojun spoke.

Li Yuan felt his body and mind tremble. That gaze seemed heavier than the stars, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"This disciple does not know either..."

Li Yuan opened his mouth, but suddenly felt the invisible energy disappear, and then he gasped for breath.

"This is a joyous occasion."

Tianyu Daojun entered the bamboo building and found it to be quite simple, with no decorations other than tables and chairs.

Li Yuan, covered in sweat, skillfully brewed and served tea.

Tianyu Daojun glanced at him, took the cup of tea, and looked towards the door:
"Summon Kizaru to come see me!"

Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Shu Tong Zi with a stiff expression, as if he had seen a ghost. The latter was stunned for a moment and hurriedly went out.

"What are the sensations when the Dao body is conceived?"

Tianyu Daojun took a sip of tea.

"Reporting to Master, I haven't had time to fully experience it yet. I only feel that the five magical powers I cultivate seem to be naturally absorbing and releasing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

Li Yuan dared not be negligent and spoke his mind.

"In the chaos there is nothing, therefore all laws can be contained, and the coexistence of various laws is just common."

Tianyu Daojun put down his teacup.

"The Chaos Sacred Body?"

Li Yuan was shocked, then overjoyed.

He had previously seen the two-colored divine light flowing and the candle dragon opening its eyes to make it daytime, so he thought that he should be able to give birth to a yin-yang type of Dao body, and possibly a yin-yang holy body.

Therefore, he was somewhat disappointed when he realized that the Five Elements magic power was generated on its own, but he did not expect that his physique was actually the Chaos Holy Body, one of the nine most powerful holy bodies in legend!
"Chaotic Dharma Body".

Daoist Tianyu corrected: "The Chaotic Body is among the rarest of all Dao Bodies. Like the Enlightenment Body, it is only at the Dharma Body level when it is first conceived."

"Only by comprehending the Dao and understanding all laws can one transform from law to god, and from god to saint. The same applies to the Chaos Body. You are currently ignorant of all laws and have not inherited a single law. How can you be called the Chaos Saint Body?"

"what?"

Li Yuan was taken aback, then bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"He comprehended the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture, cultivated the Five Elements True Forms, and gathered the power of the Five Elements. He still had two major spiritual forms missing, which shows that he was a person with a method."

Tianyu Daojun put down his teacup.

Li Yuan hurriedly refilled the teacup.

"..."

Daoist Tianyu was taken aback, then picked up his teacup again, but didn't drink from it:

"Chaos inherits all laws, and the foundation is of utmost importance. It is not bad to lay the foundation with the Five Extremes Sutra, but in the future, it is necessary to also understand the changes of Yin and Yang."

"Disciple, please remember this!"

Li Yuan's expression turned solemn, taking it as a guiding principle, and he asked, "This disciple wishes to cultivate the nine spiritual forms, and has now achieved seven. I do not know how to choose the remaining two forms?"

"In the Sutra Repository, there is a true form of the Candle Dragon. The Candle Dragon is night when its eyes are closed and day when its eyes are open, embodying the transformation of Yin and Yang. You may choose it."

Daoist Tianyu replied, "You may choose the remaining form."

Li Yuan naturally kept all of this in mind. Seeing that his master did not seem to mind, he asked about all his questions.

Tianyu Daojun was slightly surprised, but still answered them one by one.

……

"Chaotic Sacred Body!"

Ling Shu Tong Zi kept muttering to himself the whole way. He never expected that the boy he thought was quite pleasing to the eye would actually give birth to the Chaos Saint Body.

The nine supreme holy bodies are far rarer than other holy bodies, and there is even a saying that two identical holy bodies cannot coexist in the world.

Only after the previous Chaos Saint Body cultivator has reached the end of his life and has retreated into the Void, never to reappear in the world, will the myriad realms give birth to the next Chaos Saint Body.

But this is only in theory; in reality, the discontinuation of the lineage of the Nine Sacred Bodies is all too common.

"He's actually the Chaos Saint Body?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi found it difficult to describe his feelings.

My little brother has suddenly become a little master?

This is simply...

"That's wonderful!"

Ling Shu Tong Zi walked with a brisk pace, feeling that the shadow cast by the bearded man Yu had completely vanished.

What about an innate Dao body?
The Chaos Saint Body is inherited from the same lineage, and the position of Junior Master belongs to Li Yuan!

"Wow~"

As Ling Shu Tong Zi stepped out of the small cave, he heard a commotion and a crowd of people swarmed around him, asking questions about Li Yuan and the Chaos Saint Body.

"stop!"

Ling Shu Tong Zi gave an impatient reprimand, but seeing his disciples, who usually didn't even look at him, crowding around him, his mood immediately improved.

But he had important business to attend to and didn't want to talk to them any further.

Where is Kizaru?

"The young master wants to see you!"

The Spiritual Pivot Child loudly relayed the message.

The surrounding disciples quickly made way for them.

In the distance, Kizaru bowed and slowly walked forward. He too had seen the strange phenomena arising from the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, and his mind was somewhat dazed at that moment.

How the hell can we argue about this?
"Walk."

Ling Shu Tong Zi turned around and walked back to the small cave.

"?!"

Seeing this, the Dongxuan disciples present were even more shocked.

"Master actually received his inner disciple in his cave dwelling..."

Gu Xuansheng found it unbelievable; he had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.

Has the true mantle been passed on?

Yu Huanzhen subconsciously raised his hand and found that his temples were wet: "This, this..."

"Junior Sister Yu."

At that moment, she heard Yuan Han's telepathic message and looked up.

Let's get together in a few days.

Yuan Han transmitted his voice.

Gu Xuansheng also transmitted his voice almost simultaneously, expressing his desire to witness the legendary Chaos Sacred Body.

"……it is good!"

Yu Huanzhen gritted her teeth and agreed, suddenly realizing that she hadn't been very polite before.

……

Li Yuan's cave is not small in size, but there are not many signs of it being developed.

There were spirit fields, but only a few hundred acres. There were no spirit beasts or Dao soldiers to be seen. There were only thirty or fifty spirit puppets in total. Compared with the residences of other disciples, it was extremely shabby.

Kizaru glanced around and observed, his mood calming down. Even if he couldn't win against the next generation's true successor, then there would be the next generation after that!
A cultivator in the Dharma realm has a lifespan of three thousand years; he still has a chance.

Climbing the steps, we arrived at the bamboo house.

Inside the bamboo building, a white-haired Taoist priest sat quietly sipping tea, while a young Taoist priest stood beside him with his hands at his sides, seemingly asking him something. The white-haired Taoist priest answered each question without smiling.

Seeing this, Kizaru didn't feel anything, but Ling Shu Tong Zi felt so sour he almost vomited blood. He had never been so close to the young master before.

"Young master, Kizaru is here."

Ling Shu Tongzi bowed and reported back.

"Disciple Kizaru greets Master!"

Kizaru bowed deeply in worship.

"Ah."

Inside the bamboo building, Daoist Tianyu put down his teacup for the twelfth time and glanced at Li Yuan: "Go wait outside."

"Yes!"

Li Yuan first agreed, then poured tea and left the bamboo building.

"Brother Huang."

Li Yuan bowed and greeted the latter, who returned the bow before taking a deep breath and bowing as he entered the bamboo building.

"call!"

The bamboo gate was closed.

"The Chaos Sacred Body?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi felt both envy and curiosity.

"Chaotic Dharma Body".

Li Yuan corrected him, saying that with his master in front of him, he dared not speak carelessly. He replied with a single sentence, then focused his attention on his own body and began to perceive the changes within himself.

With the formation of the Dao body, all kinds of changes occur from the outside in. Not only his physical body and magical power, but his divine realm is also undergoing various changes under the cover of chaotic energy.

……

"Master."

Inside the bamboo building, Huang Yuan bowed.

"Your resolve is firm; it is fitting that you be accepted into my inner circle!"

Daoist Tianyu spoke calmly:
"The water method has nurtured the wood, and its true form has grown strong. It has the foundation to cultivate the Five Extremes Scripture. Considering your diligent cultivation over the past few hundred years, I bestow upon you a copy of the 'Western White Emperor Qianjin Scripture' and a cup of Enlightenment Tea!"

"Thank you Master!"

Kizaru bowed deeply, and immediately felt a sense of disorientation.

The surrounding light and shadow were all dim, and a wooden table appeared before my eyes, on which was a sutra and a cup of tea.
