Grandpa, times have changed.

The ninety-seventh day.

Tai made another move, engaging in battle with the heavens.

Gu Ben wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the original intention, but was stopped by Xuan and had to give up.

Meanwhile, the various clans, seeing that the heavens were entangled by the Great, also began to stir and started to move towards the Eastern Wilderness and the Heavenly Domain.

The Celestial Realm, the Academy of All Races.

A cluster of palaces high in the clouds.

deep.

A sealed room with no exits on all four sides.

There was a hazy flow of light and shadow.

Every wall in the secret room seemed to have superimposed images, neither real nor unreal, seemingly both real and illusory.

An inexplicable flow of Daoist essence.

A handsome and refined man dressed in a blue robe sat upright in the room, his figure clearly visible without any shadow.

鸿！
Like a glimpse of reality within an illusion, transcending the mundane.

All things are illusions, only I am real.

All phenomena are illusions and dreams, but the mind is the ultimate truth.

The so-called reality and illusion of the world seem to lie in a single thought.

His aura has now transformed and sublimated to an unfathomable level. Even a being at the Cave True Realm level would be corrupted by this flowing Dao essence and lose their own 'truth' if they stepped into this place.

It's just like……

Is it really going to happen?

Hidden in the darkness, concealed in the smallest of places, the 'anchor' or 'seed' begins to stir, eager to seize its essence at the moment of its true transformation.

Those who attain enlightenment transcend worldly affairs and possess boundless power. Even if an 'anchor' is planted beforehand, there is only a fleeting opportunity!

Of course, for a great being who has also attained enlightenment, a moment's opportunity is more than enough.

however……

Ninety-eighth day.

The overlapping shadows had engulfed the entire secret room, creating a bizarre and elusive atmosphere.

Hong himself had also changed from the 'true' state of yesterday to the 'empty' state, and his presence could not be detected at all in the secret room.

I don't know how much time passed.

A blurry outline reappeared, gradually transforming from illusion into reality.

He slowly opened his eyes, and layers upon layers of superimposed images surged into his eyes like waves, transforming into countless chaotic shadows in his clear, warm eyes.

Then Hong slowly raised his right hand and gently pointed forward.

hum~
A ring of extremely fine ripples spread out!

That was a wisp of power that encompassed both the real and the illusory, completely surpassing the level of the Cave Realm!
It just floated away into the outside world.

They appeared simultaneously in both the Eastern Wilderness and the Heavenly Domain.

Not bad!

It was clearly only a single wisp, yet it appeared simultaneously in both domains.

By aligning with the Dao, one can accomplish all sorts of incredible things, turning the impossible into the possible.

As for those who have attained enlightenment beyond Dongzhen, that is even more unimaginable.

The immense power containing the principles of illusion and reality is merely a gentle turn.

Those who approached with ill intentions began to fade, their 'reality' being extracted and transformed into non-existent 'illusion'.

In the end, all the scheming Dongzhens vanished into a faint shadow.

With a gust of wind, it completely dissipated into the world.

But right after doing all this, Hong's original transformed and sublimated aura quickly declined, eventually weakening to the point where he was not even as good as a Dao cultivator.

Her temples were quickly covered with a layer of white frost.

His black hair turned white, and he began to appear unreal, his presence almost entirely gone.

It's as if it will disappear from this world completely in the next instant.

Fortunately, he managed to maintain his physical form in the end.

He was in the best condition among the three survivors.

It failed...

Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He was so close to that level, but he failed at the very last step.

Feeling his own weakness, Hong couldn't help but sigh softly, and even his eyes, which were flashing with chaotic light and shadow, revealed a trace of confusion.

Is the insurmountable barrier of enlightenment truly something that beings born after birth can overcome?
……

……

"Hahaha!"

His unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the world, and his gaze toward the sky was filled with undisguised mockery.

"The chasm of enlightenment is not so easily crossed!"

"..."

The sky remained silent.

Even Hong failed.

This was something He hadn't anticipated.

In His vision, even if everyone else failed, Hong had a high probability of success.

boom!
The surging chaotic air currents engulfed the sky, and every tremor of the air currents carried a strange rhythm, as if a vast net was spreading out to cover the Eastern Wilderness.

Even if it doesn't work this time, what about next time?
He will no longer give humanity a chance to try!
However, the chaotic energy net was still blocked by the suddenly rising cyan-purple energy, firmly blocking it outside the Eastern Wilderness Domain.

"What? Now there's only one left who reached the Dao Supreme Realm the latest," Tai said coldly. "Do you still think he can succeed?"

"Who knows until the very end?" Tian said calmly.

In truth, He didn't think Xu Xing could succeed either, since although he was strong in battle, he was the last of the six to comprehend the Dao.

The reason for taking action was still because of the 'Dao Ji' method.

Even if this batch all fails, the human race will still be the most likely group in the entire Tai Xuan Realm to cross that insurmountable barrier.

Don't you see...

Did Hong just reveal a power that transcends the level of Dongzhen?
"I have paved the way for all living beings; how can I sit idly by and watch them perish because of this?" Tian said in a deep voice.

"Ah!"

Tai Du laughed in exasperation.

Although He doesn't know what Heaven is plotting, His obsession with the appearance of those who attain enlightenment after birth is definitely not for pure purposes!
"hypocritical!"

After letting out a cold snort, he struck the sky again.

However, this offensive was clearly not as fierce as before.

Now that Tian is watching over us, it's indeed not a good time to take action. It's better to wait until this matter is over.

He has plenty of ways to manipulate humanity!

The 100th day.

The heavens and the earth are still clashing, but the intensity is extremely low.

Tai had already conceived a plan to annihilate the human race.

He did not believe that heaven could always protect the human race!

And Heaven itself is also weighing the pros and cons.

He cannot stay in the Eastern Wilderness forever.

Since that's the case, why not just kidnap the most outstanding group of humans and bring them back to the Myriad Races Academy?

We can also use the deep-seated hatred of humanity's annihilation to make them...

Just as Tian and Tai were each thinking their own thoughts, and Gu wanted to make a move but was wary of Xuan.

hum~
There was a faint, almost imperceptible, sword-like cry, as if it came from the depths of the world.

Ok? !

Tai and Tian stopped fighting at the same time, and even Xuan and Gu looked towards the floating continent in the Eastern Wilderness.

"Whoo~"

It seemed as if some unfathomable, boundless, and supreme being was exhaling softly.

It resonated in the ears and deep within the hearts of all living beings in the Tai Xuan Realm.

In an instant, that soft breath transformed into the resounding clang of a sword.

Clang!
A peerless divine blade blooms, illuminating the past, present, and future, covering the vast universe, boundless and endless!
The heavens and earth trembled incessantly.

Then, fine, crimson light, like mercury spilling onto the ground, poured out from the high heavens and from every corner of the Tai Xuan Realm!

Light!
Endless red light filled every inch of the void, entwining itself around every principle of Tai Xuan!
The entire world, the entire Tai Xuan Realm, was gradually being filled and perfected amidst the booming sounds of the Great Dao sword.

Every spark of inspiration became active, and every inch of magical power became real.

Road!
No longer so out of reach.

When I attain enlightenment, Tai Xuan should learn from me!

Immortals are the teachers of Heaven and Earth!
This is……

It really happened?!

The four ancestors of the Cang clan were deeply shaken.

A hint of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and almost without hesitation, he activated the 'anchor' that had been planted many years ago!
After a decade of planning, today it has finally come to fruition!

Next, He will let Tai know what the majestic power of Heaven is!

However, the ecstasy in His eyes froze the next moment.

……

……

Floating continent.

In a corner of the training ground, Chi Jiuyu looked up, his expression dazed, the long sword in his hand trembling as if drawn by something.

The sword intent surged uncontrollably into the sky.

He was completely immersed in the boundless red light, as if he had seen the origin of the Great Dao and the source of the sword!
They were so engrossed in it that they wished they could be part of it.

Many of the doubts that had been lingering in my mind were resolved, and the barriers to spiritual practice were broken through silently.

Even his swordsmanship has made unimaginable progress!
For a sword cultivator, there is no greater fortune than this!
Sword Ancestor Xu Xing, having comprehended the 'Ultimate Interception', has spent a hundred days in seclusion and now attains enlightenment!

The number one true immortal in the universe, the ancestor of the Tai Xuan Sword Dao Sect!
Unexplained information swirled in my mind.

This is the first being in history to attain immortality and become a celestial being!

Sword Ancestor!

The number one true immortal of the human race!

……

……

A strange dimension between 'nothingness' and 'existence'.

A shadow constructed of red light stood in the boundless darkness.

Though indistinct, countless streams of energy within the universe converged and flowed toward him.

A fleeting moment, or perhaps eternity.

The red light faded, leaving only a man in black clothes and black hair, holding a peerless sword, standing with his eyes closed.

"This is enlightenment..."

As darkness receded, walls and floor were revealed. When Xu Xing opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a secluded room devoid of any superfluous decorations.

"It's truly a world of difference."

Those like Dongzhen don't even have the right to speculate or imagine those who have attained enlightenment.

He raised the sword and gently stroked its blade.

The sword reflected his bright, jade-like eyes, and he saw...

They saw an 'anchor' existing above a point of true spirit deep within the souls of every human being and all living beings in the Tai Xuan Realm.

Each 'anchor' is connected by a seemingly intangible, thread-like link.

The source is a supreme being who is lofty, indifferent, selfish, and holy.

"As expected, they had ill intentions."

He flicked the blade with his finger.

Buzz!

Immediately, a very thin line of light swept across, radiating a profound and mysterious energy, severing the connection between the 'anchor' and the true spirits of all living beings.

But it wasn't completely severed; instead, a sliver remained.

No matter how Heaven senses it, it will only feel that the 'anchor' it planted has not been cut off, but still exists on the true spirit of all living beings.

Now is not the time to completely erase it.

Immediately, Xu Xing stepped forward.

"After all these years, I am finally qualified..."

Between heaven and earth.

The sound of swords clashing resounded throughout the world!

Amidst the blood-red light of Dao Dao Dongzhen's demise, a sword shadow rose into the air.

In a mere fraction of a second, he stood alongside those four immeasurably majestic figures.

"I'll bet everything!"

The magnificent and endless sound resounded through heaven and earth, the towering sword shadows seemed to be burning, and the raging fire of the Dao dyed the sky red, pointing directly at the cold and fierce existence hidden in the endless chaos!

"Come!"

Endless sword light soared into the sky.

But it was a response from ten thousand swords within the Tai Xuan Realm!

……

……

"Come!"

A streak of cyan-gold sword light rose into the sky.

But before it had flown very far, it turned around and landed back, where it was caught by a speechless Chi Jiuyu.

"What are you coming for? Are you stupid!"

Without warning, Yu Yi suddenly let go and rushed forward.
"..." Yu Yi seemed a little embarrassed, "I was just excited..."

This is the Sword Ancestor's enlightenment!

Which Blade & Soul player could resist?

"It's not your fault."

Even she herself was a little excited just now, and almost rushed up after them...

I looked up at the sky.

All they saw was a bizarre and grotesque scene; what exactly happened remained a mystery.

emm...

Being of low moral character means having no human rights.

She looked down at Yu Yi.

"Speaking of which, aren't true immortals eternal? Logically speaking, the uncle who has become an immortal now should be the uncle of the future."

According to the records in the sect's classics.

True immortals possess boundless power, roaming freely through all time and space, untouched by countless calamities.

and so……

Is it actually my uncle who's putting on an act right now?

“Master Yu Yu,” Yu Yi said earnestly, “I suggest you don’t try to understand a true immortal with your shallow understanding; it will only make you look foolish.”

It's not even at the stage of returning to emptiness yet.

To understand true immortals?
Chi Jiuyu: "..."

Such a sharp tongue is definitely not my Yu Yi.

……

……

"You did it! You actually did it?!"

Looking at the raging flames of the Burning Dao.

Even her exquisitely perfect face was somewhat distorted.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

hum!
A crimson line of light flashed across the sky, as if the world had been divided into two sides: light and darkness.

Cut off everything, destroy all laws.

It instantly swept away most of the chaotic airflow.

In terms of combat strength, Xu Xing, who has just been promoted, is no match for Tai.

But Xu Xing was no match for Him, directly burning his very essence to fight to the death!
Therefore, in this instantaneous confrontation, Tai was directly at a disadvantage.

madman!

Those who attain enlightenment are free from calamities and illnesses; even if the world were to perish, they would not be affected in any way.

It is a supreme being that truly transcends worldly concepts!
Who would come up here and play like this?
quickly!

"I beg the ancient ancestor for help!"

perhaps……

Is this an opportunity?
Gu's heart stirred slightly, and he was about to make a move.

Xuan stood in front of him, and with a swift movement of his palm, separated Xu Xing and Tai.

Let's stop here.

antiquity:"……"

That troublemaker!
Gu's expression was rather unpleasant.

Today, I had several opportunities, but everything was ruined by some mysterious force!
Tian's expression wasn't much better on the other end either.

But perhaps sensing that other anchor points were still present, it did not flare up.

After being separated from Xuan, Xu Xing knew when to stop, and the raging Dao Flame that had been spreading across the sky was extinguished.

Tai had no choice but to suppress his urge to continue, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

Although the vast majority of them were directed at Xu Xing.

But there are also some...

It is directed at the three of them: Tian, ​​Gu, and Xuan.

These three idiots are morons!

"Humph!"

After letting out a cold snort, the chaotic air currents receded like a tide.

Too far away.

Although I was very unwilling, the current situation was no longer suitable for taking action.

That guy really wanted to kill him.

The other two guys are complete idiots!

"Sword Ancestor, what are you planning to do next?" Xuan asked Xu Xing.

Sword Ancestor.

This title may have previously been just a nickname.

But now, it is a 'respected name' recognized by the Tai Xuan Realm, a name they can no longer deny. (End of Chapter)
