Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 246 Parties
Inside the Jidu Hall.

The Demon Lord's words were startling, drawing the attention of the leader of the Chaos Remnants and Pan Man. The other Demon Kings in the hall also looked at the head of the hall with surprise and doubt.

It's no wonder everyone is in this state. Since the establishment of the Luo Hou clan, the demonic path has never been a united and loving family. On the contrary, deception and betrayal are almost always happening within the demonic sect. Even though everyone in the Jidu Palace is restrained, the truth of what some people say is often only half true.

This is why all demons aim to destroy the world and attain the supreme Dao of Nirvana. Otherwise, let alone contend with the Heavenly Court and the Xuanmen, even this vast Jidu Palace would collapse in an instant. This is the inherent weakness of the demonic path.

There's nothing that can be changed, and nobody intends to change it.

As for the Demon Lord who is speaking at this moment, naturally, as the leader of the Demonic Sect and the current ruler of the Demonic Path, his words are much more credible than those of ordinary Demonic Sect leaders. He usually prioritizes the great cause of the Demonic Path's destruction of the world, and almost no one has ever seen him speak falsehoods.

However, his words were still considered too unbelievable by most people.

Therefore, for a time, the Jidu Hall was filled with doubts.

However, the Demon Lord made no attempt to explain this to the crowd.

As the leader of the demonic path, he has his own trump cards and demeanor, so why would he need to explain to his "subordinates" or outsiders?

Therefore, at this moment, facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, he simply nodded, appearing confident. Only after the Jidu Hall quieted down again did he slowly address the crowd.

"This matter is of great importance, and I cannot explain it to you all. However, you only need to remember one thing: our ambition is to destroy the Heavenly Dao and recreate the world! We share the same goal, so we should work together to achieve it without any doubt."

"As for what we just discussed, I assure you that next time, His Majesty the Black Emperor will no longer be an enemy we need to face directly."

"Our true goal is the Heavenly Court, or rather, only Phoenix Perch Mountain..."

Upon hearing this, all the demons were terrified. Even the Chaos Quasi-Saint and Pan Man looked solemn and stared intently at the Demon Leader.

In an instant, the Jidu Palace was filled with a chilling demonic aura and overwhelming malevolent energy.

……

Naturally, the conversation inside the Jidu Hall could not be known to outsiders.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Void of the East Sea, lies a place of nothingness.

Emperor Xuanming concealed his tracks all the way, riding the waves, and finally arrived here.

Looking at the void before him, he was filled with emotion. In the past, his true self had suppressed this place with his own body, quelled a great calamity of water, and created unparalleled merit. However, unexpectedly, this led to the birth of a figure named "Yu Jiang" from the Void, whom even his true self knew very little about. With one strike, he settled the world, and his divine might shocked the heavens, making even this evil corpse god yearn for him.

However, Emperor Xuanming was also aware of one thing: at this point, his trust in "Yujiang" had reached its lowest point, and he needed to be extremely cautious about this journey, including his evil corpse, and had to be prepared for the worst if necessary.

Suppressing his turbulent thoughts, Emperor Xuanming took a step forward and crossed the void. A moment later, the gate to the Void opened, and he entered it with great fanfare, heading straight into the depths of the Void.

"Xuanming of the Blackwater Dao Palace of the Earthly Realm has come on the orders of the Black Emperor. I hope to meet you, fellow Daoist."

boom--

……

at the same time.

In the West, on Mount Sumeru, lies the sacred site of the Heavenly Venerable.

As the golden light bloomed, a vast and mighty divine light covered half the world, demonstrating the supreme power of light.

Amidst the boundless golden light, a recluse sits peacefully on a lotus throne, his face compassionate and serene, surrounded by the emanation of chanting Buddhist hymns, expounding the mysteries of the cycle of rebirth in the ten directions and the methods for countless beings to transcend reincarnation. His presence covers the billions of heavens of the Western Paradise, bringing peace and tranquility, freeing those who behold him from all worldly suffering. This is none other than the Guide Heavenly Venerable.

At this moment, he finally took another half step forward on his own foundation with the supreme Hunyuan Wonderful Method transmitted by He Taiyi, just like Qi Yu and Daode Tianzun, and arrived at the final hurdle, standing before the gate of enlightenment.

Opposite him, Zhunti Tianzun also sat cross-legged with a smile on his face. His face was no longer full of sorrow, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"Congratulations, senior brother. You have now achieved the perfection of the Dao of Nirvana and can attain ultimate Nirvana, the state of emptiness of the four elements."

"This is a great joy for me, and a blessing for all beings in the West! It truly deserves great celebration!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable of Reception withdrew his boundless light and then smiled in return.

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother. Without your generous help, I am afraid I would still be stuck at the last step and unable to achieve what I have today."

At this point, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed again.

"It's just a pity for my junior brother. His skills have been damaged this time, and it will be difficult for him to make any progress in a short time. His previous hard training was entirely due to my efforts."

"As your elder brother, I should respectfully bow to you on behalf of all the people of the West."

As he spoke, the Heavenly Venerable Jieyin immediately bowed to the Heavenly Venerable Zhunti, but the Heavenly Venerable Zhunti hurriedly stepped aside and firmly declined the great courtesy.

"Senior brother is mistaken!"

"You and I, fellow disciples, are of the same mind and are both busy working for the sake of the sentient beings in the Western Paradise. Since it is a great cause, what can we not give up? Even our lives are nothing more than this, so why should we worry about some cultivation?"

"Moreover, you and I are brothers, though we are different in body, but of the same mind, and as close as one person. How can you say anything against our will?"

"I hope you will not say anything more, senior brother!"

"I was wrong, brother."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable of Assistance smiled again, nodded, and then brought up another matter.

"Alas, it is a pity. The last half step of proving the Dao is truly difficult. It requires aligning with Heaven and Earth, with the Great Dao, and with one's own heart. It is not something that can be easily accomplished. Even if I reach this point, I will only be catching up and barely be on par with those two fellow Daoists from Kunlun and the Earth Realm in terms of realm. There is still a certain gap between us."

"Even setting aside His Majesty the Black Emperor of the Earthly Realm, who can suppress the Primordial Chaos, even the Supreme Daoist Fellow of Kunlun is extremely difficult to contend with. If we wish to revive our West, the road ahead for you and me, brothers, is probably still very long."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable Zhunti also sighed.

This is an undeniable fact, yet it is often this very fact that is most painful to bear, and even Quasi-Saint Celestial Venerables are sometimes no exception.

Fortunately, despite the difficult road ahead, there is finally a glimmer of hope. Therefore, Zhunti Tianzun was not discouraged, but instead continued to strive.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Senior brother has now embarked on the righteous path, and I will catch up with him in the future. For the West, this is enough. As long as we persevere, we will eventually achieve success.”

At this point, perhaps to change the subject and make the atmosphere less dull, Zhunti Tianzun took out another item, which was golden and glittering.

“My senior brother had been in seclusion, so I never dared to disturb him. I made all the decisions on my own.”

"However, this item should be examined by Senior Brother."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable Jieyin looked closely and saw that what the Heavenly Venerable Zhunti held in his hand was a twelve-petaled golden lotus, its golden light dazzling and shining brightly in the sun.
