People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 355 [The Dao-Evolving Divine Tree: Everyone is Like a Dragon] (Please Subscribe)
Centered on Xuanqing, endless chaotic energy gathered, and the power of time and space surged, slowly descending towards his inner realm under the influence of the Dao of Refinement.

It is said to be an inner landscape, but in reality, it contains Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed. The endless world within it transforms into a multiverse, and even has a hint of the grandeur of the primordial world.

In the center of the inner landscape, two chaotic spiritual roots are constantly absorbing and releasing chaotic primordial energy. One of them is the "Chaotic Flint Tree" that has accompanied Xuan Qing through his transformation, and the other is the "Hollow Willow," which Xuan Qing found on Jade Capital Mountain after the primordial world was reshaped.

"The Chaos Green Lotus, one of the five great treasures of chaos in the past, is both a treasure of chaos and a spiritual root of chaos, possessing the ability to draw upon the origin of the chaotic universe!"

"Then other chaotic spiritual roots may also be just as good as the Chaotic Green Lotus!"

Xuan Qing's heart stirred, and boundless refining power enveloped the two chaotic spiritual roots, with invisible lightning liquid slowly adhering to them.

This is the water refining method!

It's also a method of lightning refining!

Refining a chaotic spiritual root cannot be done in the same crude way as refining a chaotic treasure. The characteristics of a spiritual root also do not support it being melted by endless true fire.

Therefore, Xuanqing could only combine the water refining method and the thunder refining method to evolve the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Liquid, and use the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Liquid to promote the fusion of the two Chaos Spiritual Roots.

Boom!

As countless thunderbolts roared continuously within the inner landscape, the endless lightning liquid was absorbed and digested by the spiritual roots, and the two chaotic spiritual roots completely merged into one.

The newly formed Chaos Spiritual Root retains both the spacetime attributes of the "Hollow Willow" and the unique power of the "Chaos Flint Tree" to illuminate all worlds.

This chaotic spiritual root, though seemingly located within the inner landscape of Xuanqing, is actually omnipresent; its origin has long since been fully integrated into the river of time and space.

The Great Dao of Taiyi Zhenren gave Xuanqing's mythical Taiyi Dao Fruit a basic prototype, but Yuanfeng's summoning of herself from different times and spaces through the Nirvana Great Dao also greatly benefited Xuanqing.

A Grand Luo Golden Immortal can bind timelines, allowing countless others to return to their true selves, but a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal has the ability to create new timelines.

The reason Yuan Feng can summon herself from different timelines is that during her repeated rebirths, she imprinted her reborn self from a certain timeline into a separate timeline she created.

Those timelines run parallel to the river of time and space, but they have a time and space origin that connects the main axis of time and space with the timelines created by Yuan Feng himself.

In other words, those Yuan Fengs in those timelines exist not only on the main timeline but also in parallel timelines, and can change completely according to the Yuan Feng's will.

It's like a sealed box with a cat inside. It could be dead or alive; there's a 50% chance of it being alive or dead.

Yuan Feng, on the other hand, has the ability to define its life and death. With a single thought, it can be placed on any timeline, or even appear at a new point in time.

Xuanqing also incorporated this method into his own mythical Taiyi Dao Fruit, allowing his own Dao Refining River to continuously intertwine with the River of Time and Space.

They kept separating!

The two are like a spiral of fate, constantly surging forward in the process of separation and reunion, and each fiery red time origin is the projection of that chaotic spiritual root in the long river of time and space.

He continuously draws power from the river of time and space, and constantly transforms the mysteries of time and space into the fruits of the Great Dao through the origin of time.

These fruits of the Great Dao, though seemingly ethereal, carry the power of endless time and space, and are interconnected through the Chaos Spiritual Root.

Xuanqing did not intend to summon his counterparts from different time periods like Yuanfeng did, but instead planned to gather the power of different time periods at the current point in time.

Use your own strength!

The Xuanqing of the past, the Xuanqing of the present, the Xuanqing of the future, and the Xuanqing of countless times and spaces, all gathered together at a certain moment.

This is like thousands upon thousands of Primordial Golden Immortals unleashing a devastating attack.

only……

The idea was good, but putting it into practice was extremely difficult.

Even with the help of his reforged Chaos Spiritual Root, which connected his different versions of himself across different times, his physical body was still insufficient to support such immense power.

Forty-nine statues is the limit!
In addition to his own power, he could instantly unleash the power of fifty Grand Luo Golden Immortals as a torrent of the Great Dao.

It perfectly aligns with the principles of the universe!

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is omitted. Let's call it the Divine Tree of Dao Evolution!"

Xuanqing named the reforged Chaos Spiritual Root, and endless refining power appeared, causing the Chaos Spiritual Root to evolve into forty-nine annual rings.

The undying light of chaos shone brightly, nourishing the tree and giving it the aura of a supreme treasure of chaos.

Of course, this is not the limit of the "Dao Yan Divine Tree". It inherited the characteristics of the "Chaos Flint Tree" and can also use the endless incense and spiritual power to ignite the Dao Fire and achieve the realm of immortality.

The fire of the Dao never dies, and the profound purity never perishes!
Among billions of timelines, as long as there is one living being who remembers Xuan Qing, or Xuan Qing's alternate identity, that being is truly immortal!
In addition, the "Dao Yan Divine Tree" can continuously draw upon the power of the universe's origin from the chaotic void, allowing Xuan Qing to maintain his peak condition forever.

Time passed little by little, and Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the river of time and space, while the mythical Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was constantly being perfected in the process.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred eons have passed, and the primordial world continues to evolve.

As the great calamity of ferocious beasts came to an end, new undercurrents continued to surge, but after the calamity, there were quite a few beings who broke through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Among the disciples of the Guangchan Sect were Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and Shen Gongbao.

Among the disciples of the Jie Sect, several, including Zhao Gongming, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu, have also broken through to higher levels.

In recent years, although Taoism has also widely accepted disciples, among the many great supernatural beings, only Donghua Dijun is qualified to attain the Hunyuan realm.

In addition, Wuzhiqi, Yuan Hong, and Qi Tian, ​​the three Daoist protectors personally appointed by Xuanqing, also successfully broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The Buddhist sect was equally powerful. Maitreya and Jin Chanzi, who had previously perished due to Rahu's schemes, had successfully condensed the Primordial Dao Fruit.

In addition, there were Cihang and Wenshu, who became monks later in life and entered the Buddhist order.

However, after attaining enlightenment, the two made completely different choices. Manjushri stayed in Buddhism with Samantabhadra and Krakucchanda.

Cihang, on the other hand, used the method of "reversing the course of Cihang" to reverse cause and effect, re-enter the world, and re-enter the Chan Sect as the Cihang Zhenren!

"Returning to the world to fulfill my compassionate vow!"

"interesting!"

The Guide Daoist, seeing this scene, was not angry. He simply nodded, his eyes seemingly intertwining the fruits of Buddhism and Taoism.

Zhunti Daoist was somewhat annoyed: "Senior brother, over the years, we have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to Cihang and taught him everything we knew, but in the end, it was all for naught!" By consuming the opportunities of Buddhism and cultivating a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal for the Chan Sect, Zhunti Daoist wished he could have a showdown with Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Isn't this something that was expected?"

The Guide Daoist laughed and said, "Back then, when Fellow Daoist Randeng invited Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Jukesun to join our Western Buddhist sect, didn't we guess that this was at the behest of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?"

"However, Yuanshi Tianzun has confidence in his disciples, and the two of us also have confidence in Buddhism and the supreme path of our Buddhist sect!"

"One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit!"

His gaze swept across the endless river of time and space: "Leaving aside Fellow Daoist Ran Deng for now, weren't Manjushri and the others subdued by our Buddhist teachings?"

In his view, the deal was still worthwhile. Although he lost Cihang Daoren, he gained Manjushri, a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, as well as Samantabhadra and Jule Sun, two outstanding individuals among the great supernatural beings. The fortune of Buddhism has also been significantly increased!

In short, they didn't lose out!
Zhunti Daoist was still somewhat unwilling: "But Cihang Daoist's aptitude is the best among those people, even slightly inferior to Fellow Daoist Randeng. Perhaps in the future, he can bring the Buddhist teachings to a higher level!"

Even among those who are both Grand Luo Golden Immortals, there are differences in their levels. In the eyes of Daoist Zhunti, although Daoist Cihang broke through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm later than Daoist Randeng, his aptitude was undoubtedly superior.

This is the hope of Buddhism!

Even compared to his own disciples Maitreya, Bhaisajyaguru, and Jin Chanzi, Cihang has a higher level of enlightenment, with only Ksitigarbha being able to barely compare with him!
"You have to be willing to give up something in order to gain something!"

The Guide Daoist was quite open-minded: "If we don't let Cihang Daoist leave, wouldn't the Three Pure Ones have a reason to attack us?"

"after all……"

"Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Krakucchanda, and the others have completely integrated into Buddhism!"

Although Zhunti Daoist was unwilling, Jieyin Daoist felt that Yuanshi Tianzun was probably even angrier than Zhunti Daoist at this moment.

……

Just as the Guide Daoist had imagined, at this moment, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was indeed covered in frost, wishing he could go to the Buddhist temple and have a battle with the Guide Daoist.

He underestimated the Buddhist teachings and overestimated the resolve of his disciples. Of the four disciples, only Cihang was able to maintain his unwavering resolve throughout the ages!

"Second brother, there's no need to be angry!"

Seeing this, Taiqing Laozi comforted them, saying, "Even if Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Krakucchanda join the Buddhist order, they will still have a connection to Buddhism!"

Just like the Taoist Ran Deng, although he is now a past Buddha in Buddhism, as the former deputy leader of the Chan Sect, he also practiced the Chan Sect's methods. Even if he left the Chan Sect, he still inherited a portion of the karma from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"I underestimated Buddhism!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and finally decided to let the matter go. No matter what Manjushri and the others chose, they had all sought the Dao under his tutelage.

Moreover, since the Primordial Golden Immortal is neither increased nor decreased, immortal and indestructible, and coexists with the Dao, it is impossible for him to directly attack Mount Sumeru to cleanse his sect!

That would only sever the last thread of kinship!
If we maintain the current situation, when we meet Manjushri and others in the future, they will still have to call me teacher, so that I don't become an enemy who obstructs my path to enlightenment!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely magnanimous. Since he had decided to let go, he would not dwell on it. Instead, he turned his attention to the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

After his last fall, he transformed into the White Dragon of Destiny, also known as the Primordial Dragon, becoming an equal to the Ancestral Dragon among the dragon race.

Cause and effect, destiny and fate complement each other. He is the "cause of all effects", so he will naturally comprehend the Great Dao of Destiny. After the primordial world was reshaped, the three thousand innate Great Daos could no longer only support one Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He then began to comprehend the Great Dao of Destiny as the White Dragon of Destiny.

Of course, he also wanted to get his revenge!

During the great calamity of ferocious beasts, Xuan Qing tricked him. He cultivated the Great Dao of Destiny, also wanting to trick Xuan Qing once, to let him know the majesty of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

During this time, he also noticed that there were undercurrents in the primordial world, and someone was secretly stirring things up, seemingly trying to push for the Dragon-Han Calamity.

But he didn't care!
After all, the primordial world today possesses immortal characteristics, making it difficult even for a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to destroy. It is truly a good place for all sages to verify their own Great Dao.

Since we can't determine who's better by discussing principles, let's see who's the real deal with our skills!
Anyway, as long as you don't admit it, no one can directly attack you, nor will they lose face as a saint because of a major battle!
Although Xuanqing has not shown his face for hundreds of eons, he believes that if someone in the prehistoric world really tries to evolve the Dragon-Han Calamity, given Xuanqing's personality, he will definitely participate in it!

……

Deep within Dragon Abyss, the figure of Primordial Heavenly Venerable slowly emerged, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ancestral Dragon: "Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon, have you passed down the divine power I deduced? I just wonder how the practice is going now?"

"Do not worry!"

The Ancestral Dragon immediately laughed and said, "It has all been passed down! Moreover, the dragons who cultivate this divine power were all enlightened by my own essence and blood over the past few hundred eons. No other being could possibly know this! Now, the number of dragons who have mastered this divine power has reached tens of millions, which is enough to shock the world!"

"That's good!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "I believe Fellow Daoist Zulong has also noticed that there seems to be a sage behind the scenes pushing the Dragon-Han Calamity. Since the calamity is inevitable, we might as well take the initiative to strike!"

Over the course of several hundred eons, with the help of certain individuals, many dragon cultivators have become quite dissatisfied with the beings of the other two races!

The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan are the same; they are itching to sharpen their knives and attack the Dragon Clan!
only……

They were temporarily suppressed by Zu Long and others!

But this kind of thing is like Yu the Great controlling the floods; it's better to dredge than to block. If it's not dealt with in time, the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin will eventually break out into a great war!
However, the person behind the scenes acted extremely discreetly, and given that the three ancestors of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin did indeed have a grudge, even the ancestral dragon and others were unable to stop it.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, who loved watching the drama unfold, since he couldn't catch the mastermind behind it all, he decided to make the fake show real and let everyone's grand ambition of becoming a dragon sweep across the entire prehistoric world.

Catch him off guard!
During the last great calamity, Yuanshi Tianzun had already witnessed the potential of the Dragon Path, so this time, he also increased his investment in the Dragon Clan.

The saints of the three Taoist sects, except for Xuanqing whose whereabouts are unknown, all secretly became members of the Dragon Clan under his guidance, disguised as disciples.

The Dragon's Path is more powerful than ever before!
Anyway, since he was disguised and no one knew his identity, he wanted to try and see if he could sweep across the entire prehistoric world with the power of the dragon clan now.

Of course, what he most wanted to see was the expression on the face of the person behind the three races who was driving the war between the three races. When the dragon race suddenly produced dozens of Grand Luo Golden Immortals and swept across the entire prehistoric world, what would they look like?
Will I regret my decision?

Zulong was also very excited. Although none of the three clans had benefited from it, he still wanted to suppress Yuanfeng and Shiqilin!
"Now, all that's needed is a catalyst!"

The First Emperor's eyes gleamed. With the help of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the three major Taoist sects in secret, he was confident that he could achieve final victory in this great calamity.
