From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world
Chapter 268 Borrowing the Image of Zhenwu, Ascending to the Upper Realm
When Xu Xing entered the realm before, although he only exchanged one move with "Divine Firmament Jade Purity True King", the impact of it had already shaken the entire human world.
The world was in uproar, the mountains shook and trembled, and even the sky shattered. Not to mention the current immortals who have survived to this day, even the great immortals and the powerful immortals would clearly understand one thing.
—The protective layer of the ancestral star, which was personally created by the emperors and is a crucial part of the celestial system, has been shattered!
From this day forward, the entire ancestral star will be exposed to the endless starry sky, becoming bait for the Heavenly Demon Clan, with no more concealment!
Although the details of Xu Xing's battle with "Divine Firmament Jade Purity True King" exceeded the limits of what the local True Immortals could observe, they were still able to clearly discern the outcome.
This is because the cultivation and realm of the two peerless experts have reached a terrifying level where every move they make can easily shake the heavens, vibrate the universe, and even reverse the light of time.
Within the "Realm of Truth," endless thunder and fire, and a dazzling galaxy, existed. However, this situation of two powerful forces standing side by side lasted only a brief moment before the Jade Purity Divine Thunder was completely driven away, leaving only the starlight to endure.
Within the ancestral star, Li Xiuyuan's true form held a tattered palm-leaf fan, a wine gourd hung from his waist, his ragged clothes swayed precariously, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
At the same time, five or six Asuras covered in scales and with horns on their heads flew out from the void, transforming into streaks of bright red light and landing behind Li Xiuru.
These former "celestial officials" all gazed at the sky, looking at the figure who seemed to be at the very center of heaven and earth, in charge of the laws governing the operation of all things, and who could decide life and death. They could not help but feel a tightness in their hearts.
In fact, these True Immortals had met powerful figures of Emperor level before, but among all the people they had ever met, the Demon Lord's aura was truly unique.
Li Xiuru turned around, looked at these people, shook his head, a look of shame on his face, and sighed deeply:
"Gentlemen, this time, I'm afraid we can't escape our doom."
Despite saying this, Li Xiuru showed no despair on his face. Instead, he appeared calm and composed, with a resolute determination to go even if it meant facing a million men.
Along their journey, they not only faced encirclement and suppression from the Buddhist Kingdom and the Heavenly Court, but also had to guard against the demons in the material universe. Even though they were all immortals and gods, they were already exhausted from long battles.
Li Xiuru was also imprisoned by Master Zhu, who polluted his soul and burned his meridians with the Earth Core Poison Flame day and night, causing his cultivation to decline significantly, leaving him with nothing but a mortal body riddled with holes.
Among the six Asuras, one exceptionally robust immortal, formerly serving in the Thunder Division of the Thunder Department, stepped forward. He laughed heartily and declared:
"We were fortunate enough to escape from the cycle of reincarnation this time; how could we ask for more?"
As he spoke, he glanced around, sensing the rising auras of True Immortals, the largest of whom were no more than a thousand years old, and said regretfully:
"However, in the end, it is still these younger generations who suffer. From this day forward, I fear that the lineage of my Xuanmen sect will truly be extinct."
Although these Asuras were determined to die, they were also well aware that now that Devanad had entered the realm, the ancestral star had no chance of turning the tide.
Including them, all sentient beings share only one fate: to fall completely into the demonic path and become slaves and followers of the Primordial Demon Ancestor.
But at that moment, another bright moon rose slowly, hanging alone in the sky, isolated from the world. Its moonlight covered the entire world, penetrating straight into people's hearts and illuminating all evil spirits.
As the moonlight shone upon the six Asuras, their scales became even more translucent, and their innate, ever-growing ferocity was instantly purified.
If before, this malevolent aura was like a ferocious beast, eager to devour its prey, then now it is like a series of blades, forged through countless trials and wielded by human hands, chillingly sharp and unstoppable.
The six immortals were startled once again.
The reason they were reincarnated as Asuras was because Wutian wanted to experiment with whether integrating demonic power into the Six Paths of Reincarnation could erase the supposedly untainted "true nature" of immortals and gods through countless reincarnations.
Therefore, the Asura's physical body is also a kind of cage for them, but now, with just a gentle ray of moonlight, the cage has been transformed into a weapon that they can control at will.
Such mysterious methods, could they truly belong to the Demonic Sect?
Because Li Xiuyuan's physical body was intact and his realm was higher, he felt it even more vividly.
He discovered that after the moon rose, the celestial system, which had been damaged and only had some remnants left, began to revive from all directions of the ancestral star at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, the entire ancestral star was enveloped in a brilliant azure light. The celestial grid system, which originally required the efforts of several emperors to build, was recreated, and the shattered protective energy layer was repaired.
Furthermore, the original Heavenly Order system was full of discord, which would only benefit the Xuanmen lineage. This time, all cultivators on the ancestral star, regardless of sect or faction, will receive the system's blessing.
Although this blessing is strong, its true nature is difficult to discern.
For martial arts masters, this is a true martial arts principle that resonates with their own knowledge and can guide them on their path. It's like their future selves descending from the river of time to help them overcome obstacles.
For the Taoist masters, this is a natural and effortless truth of the Tao, where nothing is left undone. Once they come into contact with it, they are immersed in a wonderful state of "union with the Tao" and find it hard to extricate themselves.
For Buddhist venerable ones, this is a profound meaning that illuminates the emptiness of all phenomena, points directly to the wondrous truth of true emptiness, and is pure and unobstructed. Anyone who obtains it can understand their true nature, transcend the illusion of birth and death, and be liberated from all suffering.
Logically speaking, the Heavenly Demon Clan, lacking spiritual insight, had no way of grasping the true meaning of each faction and could only adapt and utilize it.
But now it seems that this demon lord has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, Taoist arts, and Buddhist teachings, and has made innovations in each. How could he be a demon trapped in the Heavenly Demon system and unable to break free?
Li Xiuyuan murmured:
"Simple and primordial, unlike the methods of the various emperors and celestial venerables of the Heavenly Court, yet it aligns with the true intent of the Dao Venerable, subtly influencing all things. Could it be that he truly has not gone far away and is still in the world?!"
Li Xiuyuan had once listened to lectures under the Emperor Baosheng and was the Emperor's personal disciple, so he naturally knew many secrets.
In fact, in the vast and mysterious world, there are also a group of powerful beings who surpass even the Emperor, who roam outside the Heavenly Court, establish their own dojos, pass on their lineages, and live freely and without restraint.
The most renowned among them was the ancestor of the Earthly Immortals, who reigned alongside the world, while the most unpredictable was the Bodhi Patriarch, who had once trained the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
This patriarch was well-versed in the three teachings, possessed extraordinary skills and boundless supernatural powers, and was also a person of great character.
For the sake of his disciples, he was even willing to fight against the Heavenly Rules, and seemed poised to rival them.
But wasn't he already like the Earth Emperor, in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and pursuing the Dao Venerable? Or perhaps, this unprecedented calamity of heaven and earth was already within the calculations of these great supernatural beings.
“But…” Li Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at the Demon Lord, feeling utterly puzzled.
If it was truly that person's doing, how could it have ended up on the Heavenly Demon Clan?
Xu Xing didn't care what Li Xiuyuan thought. After obtaining enough information from Zhao and Zhu, he had also made up his mind.
Since the Demon Lord of Wutian and the Great Celestial Venerable are now in a standoff and are exerting their efforts in the Netherworld, he might as well enter the "Mysterious and Boundless World" and see how these two will react.
Xu Xing knew very well that compared to the strongest people in this world, he had one significant advantage: he possessed the cultivation achievements of three major systems simultaneously.
The "mysterious and boundless world" is a realm based on spiritual awareness. Therefore, even if he uses his pure Yang primordial spirit to ride the power of the five innate elements and ascend, he will still have a physical body capable of "shattering the vacuum" to move around outside and search for the power left behind by Nuwa.
If the two strongest powers from the East and West were to join forces to kill him, this intruder who had rashly intervened in the conflict, Xu Xing would be protected by the Haotian Mirror, which would be enough to ensure his safety.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing didn't hesitate at all. He immediately released his entire primordial spirit, manifesting the Five Primordial Transformations, and soared straight into the sky with the "Haotian Mirror."
Although the rising speed of this round moon seemed slow, it was actually extremely rapid. Before long, it had broken through the material universe level and entered the realm of reality.
At this level, the concepts of time and space are of little significance, which means that Xu Xing is now very close to the "mysterious and boundless world".
Before he even had to reach out, beams of divine light began to shine forth in eager anticipation.
The already shattered Heavenly Gate suddenly burst open, and the Thirty-Three Heavens appeared one after another. Immortal palaces of the Dao Realm stood in rows, celestial music resounded throughout heaven and earth, and golden lotuses bloomed in succession, paving a magnificent heavenly road.
Countless golden-armored warriors appeared, clad in armor and wielding weapons, standing in two rows on either side of the heavenly path, solely to welcome Xu Xing to truly ascend to the "mysterious and boundless world" and seize the honor that rightfully belonged to him.
This was not driven by any powerful figure, but rather by the most instinctive action of the "mysterious and boundless world," which shook even the highest and most mysterious Heavenly Court, the Great Luo Heaven.
At the western and easternmost points of the "mysterious and boundless world," a gaze descended, carrying a sense of inquiry and scrutiny, pressing down layer by layer, watching this strange yet familiar great supernatural being.
This time, Xu Xing used only Taoist methods, with chaotic energy surging to build layers of pavilions. He proceeded step by step, slowly climbing the steps, fully displaying his cultivation level, but without any personal characteristics, thus concealing his identity.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Demon Lord of Wutian and the Great Celestial Venerable, this person was not a powerful being who ascended from the material universe, but an "old acquaintance" who had long been hiding in the lower realm and was now making a bold move to get a share of the pie!
However, the two sides had completely different attitudes towards this "old acquaintance." The Great Celestial Venerable spread his divine will, connecting the entire Heavenly Court in an instant, and laughed loudly:
"But I wonder which fellow Daoist has returned from the chaotic energy. Could it be that he has found the teacher's whereabouts, or perhaps he has been able to meet the Dao Venerable and comprehend the origin of the Great Dao?"
"Since you've decided to take action, why did you pretend to be a demon just now? Could it be that you've lost your composure because you see the two peaks standing side by side in the Upper Realm and are eager to get a share of the spoils?"
In fact, the Great Celestial Venerable was just communicating with the "Divine Firmament Jade Purity True King" and felt a little more relaxed after sensing this aura.
After all, if Devanati truly has mastered the Way of Spiritual Illusion, then it means that the Primordial Demon Ancestor will soon be able to break free from his shackles and ascend to the "Mysterious and Boundless World".
But now that it has been proven that the person who made the move was not Devanati, but a powerful sorcerer whose identity is still unknown, things are much easier to explain.
As the Great Celestial Venerable spoke, layers of rosy light suddenly spread out from the Heavenly Gate, and spiritual light also shone in the Dao Realm Immortal Palace, revealing figures with different temperaments, all of whom were majestic and profound, as deep as the ocean.
Each figure here is not merely an illusion, but the primordial power of the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court.
As the righteous gods appeared, an aura of strict discipline and unyielding authority emerged out of thin air, like a vast thunder pool standing on the magnificent heavenly road, attempting to block Xu Xing's path of ascension.
The layers of concealment that Xu Xing had laid out were pierced through by this energy, shattering and revealing their true forms.
This was also the true purpose of the Great Celestial Venerable's attack. He did not want to force Xu Xing to retreat, but only to expose this person's disguise and find out who this person really was.
Xu Xing learned from the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" that the celestial system of the ancestral star was modeled after the celestial rules of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, this force should be the "celestial rules".
The Great Celestial Venerable was nothing more than a usurper, yet he was able to exert the "power of heavenly rules" to such an extent, which was truly remarkable. However, Xu Xing was not unprepared.
He had long known that all powerful beings at the Emperor level or above, even if they were unwilling to obey the Heavenly Court's orders, would inevitably leave their own unique mark in the "Mysterious and Boundless World".
This time, Xu Xing seized that wisp of the fundamental energy belonging to the True Martial Emperor from "Master Zhu".
He knew that the True Martial Emperor had not died in the chaos of the Heavenly Court, but had long since disappeared and had been indifferent to worldly affairs.
No one in Heaven knew whether this Demon-Subduing Ancestor was in accordance with the Way of Heaven, or whether he, like the other wandering immortals, had established his own dojo in the "mysterious and boundless world," living a carefree and unrestrained life.
Therefore, it is best for Xu Xing to use his identity.
Moreover, Xu Xing's Taoist magic originated from the Zhenwu lineage, and with his current level of cultivation, he can completely achieve an effect that is indistinguishable from the real thing.
On the other side, Mount Ling, where Wutian was located, was completely silent. His gaze was extremely indifferent, devoid of any extra emotions, merely scrutinizing and observing.
Xu Xing didn't reply at all. He simply unfolded his primordial spirit, drawing inspiration from the Tai Chi principle, blending Yin and Yang to form the cycle of life and death. In an instant, he expanded his Dharma form to a size of hundreds of millions of miles, officially entering the "mysterious and boundless world"!
Any powerful being at the Emperor level can establish their own Dao field based on their fundamental energy, and the deeper their cultivation, the wider their Dao field.
Xu Xing's actions were tantamount to openly expanding his territory right under the noses of the two supreme experts. They could naturally intervene to stop him, but the outcome was difficult to predict.
The Great Celestial Venerable assumed a fighting stance, but did not rush to attack. He simply said with a sigh:
"So it was you, Brother Zhenwu!" (End of Chapter)
