The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 218 Myriad Mysterious Elements
Within the Qiling Sect, the disciples were all somewhat bewildered. True Person Weiyang was the founding Golden Core Ancestor of the sect, while Li Yuan was the ancestor who brought Qiling to its current state of prosperity.

If these two start fighting, neither side can be on their side; both would be considered unfilial disciples. But if they don't help either, that would also be unfilial.

The usually opinionated cultivators were dumbfounded. At this moment, the sect leader, Wang Chaochen, was the first to step forward and sincerely said, "Greetings to the two patriarchs. Both of you are our ancestors and elders, and you are the ancestors of the same lineage. We hope that the conflict can be stopped and that fellow cultivators can be prevented from fighting each other."

The Wei Earth consciousness revealed by Wang Chaoqiu naturally knew the current internal situation of Qi Ling and replied: "Qi Ling was passed down to Nanjue Island by my avatar, the True Man Weiyang, who brought the Tianqi Dao lineage. Without me, how could there be Qi Ling today?"
Even if he revives the Daoist tradition, he doesn't acknowledge this legal lineage and even rebels against his ancestors. How can he still be considered a descendant of Tianqi?

Yuan Chu Dao Ren sneered, "Tian Qi? That's all in the past, and I, Qi Ling, will never be the Tian Qi lineage."

When Tianqi was destroyed, he left behind his son Qi Ling. Did he ever consider the future generations of his lineage?
As for the lineage, ask yourself honestly, did you truly pass down any Tianqi secret techniques?

The "Weiyang Xuanjing" has been passed down, but is there another cultivation method that belongs to the Golden Elixir lineage? All the true cultivation methods in Qiling Sect over the past four thousand years were created by predecessors of Qiling, and are Qiling disciples, Qiling inheritance, not Tianqi inheritance.

The only remaining Tianqi language is merely a prelude, a means to absorb the fates of Qiling disciples. The current prosperity of the Qiling Sect is all due to the self-sacrifice of its ancestors throughout the ages, who protected the Qiling heritage, thus making Qiling what it is today.

"

"Nonsense! Without Xuanming and the reputation of the Tianqi lineage, the little Qiling would have been wiped out many times over!" Weitu said coldly.

“But if we didn’t have this title, we disciples wouldn’t have suffered countless tests and schemes.” Yuan Chu Dao Ren resolutely refused to back down. “Qi Ling Sect is just Qi Ling Sect. It is only because of the humiliation and hardship endured by more than twenty generations of leaders and countless disciples of the Qi Ling Sect on Nan Jue Island that it is where it is today.”

We will bear the destiny and responsibility of Tianqi, but we will never abandon the blood and tears of Qiling over four thousand years. Qiling, from ancient times to the present and into the future, will only ever be Qiling, the Qiling of our disciples and followers, and no longer a "pawn"!

If you say that once a move is made, you can never take it back, then you must also know that once a move is made, there is a risk that it will no longer belong to you alone!

"Now that you have been reborn into the world through the body of one of my disciples, that can be considered as repaying your karmic debt. You may leave now!"

"Hmph, I am the reincarnation of Wei Tu, how could I be forced back by a mere descendant like you?" Wei Tu sneered, raising his palm. The mountains trembled. He said contemptuously, "All Wei Tu in the four directions are my path. How could I possibly fear you?"

The Taoist Primordial Dissatisfied and said, "Do you really think you are the Earth of the Wei Earth?"

"My destiny is in my hands. Since your fate is against me, how can you have the destiny of the Earth element (未土)? If you do not back down, I will surely sever your destiny as the Earth element (未土)!"

"How dare you!" Wei Tu roared in uncontrollable rage, causing the earth to shake and countless rocks to fall from the mountains.

"Have you thought it through? Will you choose to join Qi Ling's faction and lose the destiny of Wei Earth, or will you retain the destiny of Wei Earth and ascend to the throne?"

The Taoist Primordial was not alarmed; he simply watched him quietly.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's raised hand suddenly froze, his brown pupils fixed on him, and he said, "Fine, I will remember this humiliation! Since Qi Ling is so disloyal, I will clean house in the future!"

Having said that, it transformed into a one-legged bluebird, spread its wings, and flew into the clouds, disappearing from sight.

Seeing that even Wei Tu was so easily persuaded to back down, Wang Fengyun felt a chill in his heart. If even Wei Tu Zhenjun was so easily controlled, wouldn't he be even more tightly controlled?

Wang Chaoxin was shocked. Her cousin, who cultivated the Wei Tu, was actually the reincarnation of her ancestor? The Wei Yang Xuan Jing, which had been almost untouched for thousands of years, was not only cultivated by Wang Chaoqiu, but by her too! Then what was she?

For a moment, she was lost in confusion. If she was Wei Tu, then was she still Wang Chaoxin?

Yuan Chu Dao Ren stood silently on the steps, watching the blue and dark colors flicker in the sky. The surrounding water mist and rain either disappeared into the depths of the earth or rose into clouds and floated in the sky.

The water levels of rivers, lakes, and streams are dropping at a visible rate, causing the land to dry up and the sea to surge back onto the mainland, resulting in a chaotic clash between the water elements.

He squinted at the sky and sighed, "Now that we've taken this step, there's no turning back!"

Even though the Taiyi Jiumao Heyan Tower is a True Lord's Mysterious Treasure, how could it trap my Yuan Shui Mysteriousness without the True Lord's personal presence?
If you follow your opponent's moves in this game, you will only get deeper and deeper into trouble. The only way to break out of this predicament is to jump out of it!
"

He stepped forward, smiled, and bowed, saying, "Please, Your Excellency, emerge from the tower!"

Upon hearing this, all the water elements in the world were moved. The Heavenly Stone of Fate in the Xuan Yuan New Realm trembled, Xuan Yuan awakened, and the Yuan Water Position and the Xuan Fate Position merged and were generated, which was then unleashed through Li Yuan's body in the tower.

Inside the tower, Li Yuan stood up with a smile on his face.

In an instant, the thousands of light patterns and restrictions within the tower erupted with dazzling light, binding it and preventing it from moving an inch.

Looking at the restraints around him, Li Yuan reached out and touched the top of his head. His primordial spirit exploded, and the rich primordial water in the world dispersed outwards.

"Why did he commit suicide again? Could it be that he thought he could escape this cage by relying on the Dao to transform heaven and earth?" Yuan Yao, the True Man of the True Yang Sect, standing beside the True Monarch of the Lower Realm, asked in confusion.

"Even if the main body and the clone were to be transformed together, this tiny golden core could not shake this profound treasure made of Mao wood and Bing fire." Sun True Lord shook his head and said, "However, this kid has indeed changed everything we had planned."

Action breeds chaos, and it is in chaos that a way to break the deadlock can be found.

Master Yuanyao pressed further, "My lord, are you not going to take action? If you do, the problem will surely be solved easily."

"Hehe, that might have been true before, but with Taiji now in the world, Taiyin and I can no longer act so easily." Sun True Lord said calmly, "More and more True Lords refer to Taiyin and me as the First Manifestation of the Dao. But Taiji was the only Manifestation of the Dao at the beginning of the world."

Firstly, is it appropriate for someone to make a move just to acquire a Golden Core? Moreover, if you destroy the Profound Life in front of you, where will you find another Profound Life?

Let's wait and see. No matter how the situation changes, it will ultimately remain within the Heavenly Palace.

……

In the vast land of the Nine Provinces and Eleven Immortal Sects, the waters of Ren and Gui clashed and were evenly matched. However, Ji Earth was the most effective against Gui Water. With the combined power of Ren and Ji, plus the suppression of the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerables, the light of Gui Water gradually dimmed.

However, at this moment, the primordial water positions in all parts of the world manifested one after another, and the water from the source of the mountains and the source of the earth's water veins rose up with a little bit of primordial water essence.

The essence of the primordial water merged with the Gui water, and countless specks of life light appeared. The eleven immortal sects of the Nine Continents manifested countless specks of water virtue. Some water virtue golden cores wanted to take advantage of this to plunder some of the essence of the primordial water, but they were stunned by the life light attached to it.

Each cluster of primordial energy contains a wisp of destiny light. Once touched, one will be entangled by this destiny. This is not terrible in itself, but what is terrible is that being entangled by it will increase the time when the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations will arrive prematurely.

Countless rays of light from the primordial union of Gui and Yang fell like rain, sprinkling across mountains, rivers, and the vast land.

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, silver lightning bolts rushed like thunder serpents, and rain fell heavily on the earth. Heaven and earth were filled with rain, and water filled the world.

The original Gui combines and transforms into Ren water, which falls into rivers and streams, merges into the ground, hides in trees, attaches itself to the human body, or accumulates water energy to transform into a human.

This scene shocked everyone present, even the Heavenly Sovereigns widened their eyes.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Taiyin Yinjun unconsciously gripped the head of the phoenix chair with her slender jade fingers. She exclaimed in surprise, "Yuan Shui has not completely perished yet. How can a mere Golden Core cultivator possess such authority over Yuan Shui? Could it be that his primordial spirit has merged with the Dao?" "But how can someone who has merged with the Dao still have the seven emotions and six desires?" The Yimu Zhenjun standing to the side also asked in surprise.

"So it seems he is Xuanming! If he were to die, only Xuanming could leave behind his wisdom." Taiyin Zhenjun frowned and said, "Even though he took advantage of Zhenjie Zhenjun's turn to transfer Jiuyao and Maomu and others, it was still too late."

Even though the Yuan Shui Golden Elixir has reached the required level, it cannot mobilize the authority of the entire world. Only when Gui Shui unites with the Yuan can its authority be extended to the Nine Provinces and Eleven Sects.

This is quite a headache.

“Even if this child transforms into countless forms, he will ultimately only reach the Golden Core stage. With so many divisions and the decline of the ancient path of Yuan Shui, I’m afraid he won’t even have a Golden Core left,” True Monarch Yi Mu replied.

"No, you are wrong."

Taiyin Zhenjun stood up, gazed at the vast void, and murmured, "From this day forward, the lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator will no longer be nine thousand years, but eternity!"

The Yuan Water is the source of all waters. To completely annihilate this child, the only way is to summon the three waters of Ren, Gui, and Zhen to descend to the mortal realm together. By using the authority of the True Lord to divide the Yuan Water, and disregarding the power of the Mysterious Destiny, only then can this child be completely killed.

But none of these are possible, because if the three waters were to be completely destroyed, all the water in the world would become stagnant, which the three Water Virtue True Lords would not be willing to do.

Moreover, after it merges with the Dao, Heaven and Earth have tacitly acknowledged that it is no longer a sentient being, and the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations cannot befall it.

Therefore, he is a near-immortal being! Moreover, he can manifest in countless forms, constantly coming together and dispersing, making complete suppression impossible!

Yi Mu was also shocked after hearing this. She lowered her eyes and pondered, "No, there is actually another way."

"Collect all the water in the world, extinguish the lives of all living beings, cut off water and end life..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Taiyin True Lord turned his head to look at her and said coldly, "Then I'll leave it to you to do. Do you dare?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Mu's expression immediately changed. "My lord is joking. I was just mentioning it casually." Such a huge karmic burden, if she were to bear it all alone, even a True Lord would not be able to withstand it! However, if the True Lords of each realm shared the burden, and with the methods of the Sun and Moon, this matter could actually be accomplished!

In the vast void, the True Lord Guishui, with a human body and a snake tail, laughed loudly upon seeing this scene: "Since that's the case, I'll stay in this Myriad Star Ruins for a while."

Once Yuan Gui combines, then Yuan Ren will combine, and the day will come when Yuan Zhen transforms. Ren water, true water, can you remain still?

Ren Shui's expression was not good, but he still sneered: "Even if he differentiates again, he will only have the fate of a Golden Core cultivator. As long as he does not become the True Lord of Yuan Shui, how can he come to this day?"
It's nothing but wishful thinking!

Gui Shui ignored him and transformed into the shadow of a snake, plunging into the Myriad Star Ruins.

Seeing that Gui Water had been sent into the Myriad Star Ruins to be suppressed, Ren Water breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he knew that Gui Water was indeed quite capable.

Ji Tu Zhenjun, holding the Heavenly Decree, sealed it at the entrance of Wanxingxu, both inside and out, before speaking: "Wanxingxu has no spirits or ranks, making it an excellent place to suppress Zhenjun. Once inside, without the Heavenly Decree to open the entrance, even a Zhenjun cannot escape. Therefore, Zhenjuns suppressed within can only live in a deep slumber."

Gui Water was far too impulsive; now it's all over. But congratulations to Brother Ren Water!

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I'll be grateful for your help!" Ren Shui said with a slight smile.

Within the Qiling Sect, drops of primordial energy converged on Yuan Chu Dao Ren, propelling his cultivation past the threshold of the Nine Revolutions of True Cultivation and into the realm of the First Life Golden Core.

However, this includes the Xuan, Yuan, and Gui paths, plus his original true water, making it a complete set of four paths.

While cultivating multiple supernatural powers may seem advantageous, it also presents significant limitations. One such limitation is that if one cultivates multiple supernatural abilities, one will not be able to achieve the Golden Core stage.

If one practices the Golden Elixir too much, one will never have the chance to become a True Lord.

Fortunately, the Primordial Daoist was a derivative of Li Yuan. Now, by combining Li Yuan's status, a strange golden elixir was created, possessing all four supernatural powers, but none of them being particularly strong.

He loudly proclaimed, "From this day forward, our Qiling Sect will worship Heaven and Earth, follow the example of our ancestors, and stand alone as the orthodox lineage, not entering the Heavenly Qi."

In recognition of our ancestor Li Yuan's role in spreading the Dao, we hereby bestow upon him the honorific title of Xuan Yuan! All disciples of Qi Ling, throughout the ten directions of heaven and earth, who recite this honorific title and pray for divine intervention, will receive our protection!

"All disciples of Qi Ling, follow me to pay homage to Xuan Yuan!"

Having said that, he began to recite:

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Three Realms and Hundred Paths.

Life originates from the vast emptiness, at the beginning of primordial water.

Three calamities befall him, nine tribulations take his life.

We especially worship Xuan Yuan, whose true writings were born.

He then performed the Dongzhang chapter, followed by the Lingfa.

It is clearly there, yet it is not there in the darkness.

"Please, my lord, grant me salvation from this calamity."

Upon reciting this incantation, the Xuan Yuan True God of the Xuan Yuan New Realm sensed it and manifested two Daoist images of blue and white snakes above the Qi Ling Sect Mountain, their heads held a thousand feet high, as if supporting the sky.

The remaining disciples all responded and recited the mantra again.

Strands of fortune gathered on the Xuan Yuan Divine Statue, standing atop the Qi Feng Altar, suppressing and shattering the altar that had existed for thousands of years and had been used to sacrifice hundreds of royal family disciples, sending it sinking into the sunless earth.

From afar, Guiyin heard the incantation and murmured, "It was him!"

Without hesitation, Gui Yin kowtowed nine times and recited the Xuan Yuan Mantra.

Far out at sea, Li Xuanyue also began chanting the Xuan Yuan Incantation, the words echoing endlessly in the waves.

The Xuan Yuan Incantation from all directions reclaimed the fortune that the disciples of Qi Ling had offered to Tian Qi, taking it from the destiny of Xuan Ming Tian Qi, returning it to the essence of Qi Ling, gathering fortune in the mountain, and restoring destiny to people.

Yuan Chu Dao Ren stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the Qi Ling Mountains where the Qi Luck had transformed into a python and coiled around the summit. He silently murmured to himself, "Destiny has been given to destiny. Whether it is the Earth of Wei, the Earth of Wu, or the tens of thousands of disciples of Qi Ling, all have their destiny!"
