Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 562 Guidance, Finding an Alternative Path

As Taiwei Daoist raised his hand, he took the yellowed treasure scroll into his hand, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

As far as the eye could see, Daoist Taiwei also seemed to be deep in thought.

The Earth Book can be described as a wild and untamed map, recording the true forms of many famous mountains and rivers. If it can be refined into a magical artifact, it can, at the very least, control the power of mountains and rivers, and at the very least, bestow titles upon the earth deities.

Unfortunately, Zhen Yuanzi possessed this item but dared not act rashly.

The Earth Goddess Houtu of the Earth Palace is the true master of the earth. If he harbors such thoughts, the Earth Goddess Houtu will surely come to punish him.

Now, all the gods of the Earthly Palace have been incorporated into the Xuanmen, and the Xuanmen has handed over the power to select the Earthly Gods to the Heavenly Court.

Zhen Yuanzi now dares not confront the Lord of Heaven directly.

Holding such a precious treasure of the earth in his hands, Zhen Yuanzi must have felt extremely distressed.

The years spent waiting for an opportunity are long and painful.

Taiwei Daoist held the Earth Book in his palm and said.

"If you are not willing to wait, then there is only one direction left: the earth, besides suppressing the void, also possesses the virtue of bearing all things!"

Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback, pondering the words carefully.

But after much thought, I still couldn't grasp its true meaning.

He did know that the earth was full of life and that it was possible to step onto the path of creation, but the path of creation had long been occupied by the Holy Mother of the Earth, Nuwa, and he could never compete with her.

The second option is to use the power of the earth to follow the path of merit among the five virtues. However, merit is hard to come by in the world, and if one is not careful and fails to accumulate enough merit, one may end up with negative karma.

Secondly, it can also involve the netherworld.

However, the Netherworld is the domain of the Earth Goddess Houtu, and the Netherworld Path is also a subordinate domain of the Earth. Even if he wants to achieve enlightenment, he must obtain the approval of the Earth Goddess Houtu.

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

"Could it be that we should take the path of vitality? The earth is inherently connected with vitality, and although the path of vitality is weak, it is still an excellent choice?"

"However, the path of life is closely related to the Wood element. The original Wood element Dao Palace is now in the hands of the Xuanmen, and its master is the Taiyi Daoist of the Yuqing Dao Palace!"

However, Taiyi Daoist is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and currently cannot control the Wood Element Source to suppress it.

However, as far as he knew, life and death were on equal footing, and the path of life and death was currently in the hands of the Earth Goddess Houtu.

After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but speak.

"Dao Ancestor, is there any hope for life and the path of cultivation in the world today?"

Taiwei Daoist shook his head.

"The earth, with its profound virtue, bears not only all sentient beings in the world, but also all inanimate things, and even all things in the universe, both pure and impure. All things exist within the universe!"

"It could be the vast starry sky, or it could be the blazing sun and stars!"

Zhen Yuanzi's expression shifted slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Taiwei Daoist, a glint of light flashing deep in his eyes.

Stars, all things!
Yes!

The land is vast, and he could certainly choose to take either of these paths.

However, it seems that these two paths are currently in the hands of the Taiwei Taoist.

What does Taiwei Daoist mean by this?
Does he intend to abandon the Path of Myriad Phenomena once again, just as he abandoned the Path of the Heavenly Emperor?

Zhen Yuanzi pondered to himself, "Competing in the myriad phenomena path is not impossible."

In fact, he also had some ideas about the Starry Path, even though the Starry Path was weaker than the Myriad Manifestations Path.

Because he has come into contact with the inner and outer vision techniques of the Xuanmen Earth Immortal lineage, if he can condense a star into an Earth Ancestral Star and sublimate it into the Zhou Tian Star Sea, and use it as a foundation, he might also have the opportunity to suppress the stars and occupy a position on the path of stars.

In any case, it seems that no one from the Zhou Tian Star Venerable sect wants to pursue the path of stars.

Even those Zhou Tian Xing Zun who wanted to follow this path might not be able to compete with him.

With a wave of his hand, the Book of Earth transformed into a stream of light and returned to Zhen Yuanzi's hand.

Zhen Yuanzi was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Taiwei Daoist. Taiwei Daoist said calmly.

"Make good use of this book. I hope to see you use it one day to create all things in heaven and earth and fulfill the mission that heaven and earth have given you!"

A ripple appeared in Zhen Yuanzi's Dao heart.

The joy of finding something lost is overwhelming, and there is also gratitude.

Taiwei Daoist truly deserves the title of 'Dao Ancestor'.

"Zhen Yuan thanks the Dao Ancestor for his guidance. Zhen Yuan will remember the Dao Ancestor's enlightenment!"

This time, he simply clasped his hands in a fist salute, but his eyes were filled with respect. Under the gaze of Taiwei Daoist, he slowly withdrew from the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Dao Palace.

On the golden throne, Daoist Taiwei watched Zhen Yuanzi's departing figure.

Three bows have brought him such a promising future; Zhen Yuanzi's determination today has not been in vain.

……

Before a village, Yan Ju stood in a long, purplish-red robe that reached the ground. His sleeves fluttered, covered with sun-like patterns, as if they contained endless blazing sun.

In the distance, he saw a huge locust tree, and many children were playing under it.

In the distance, many small houses have sprung up along the ridges of the fields and the hillside.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the place has gradually become more lively, with the population seemingly increasing significantly.

"Ah Xing, don't be afraid, quickly use the true form of my Houtu clan!"

Just then, a commotion erupted from a large open space in the distance. Boom!

Accompanied by the sound of the earth resonating, Yan Ju saw from afar two small giants wrestling in front of a tall palace with multi-tiered eaves. Both of them were surrounded by intense earth power, and the earth spirit deep within the earth was mobilized by the two small giants who were tens of feet tall, generating infinite power.

Upon hearing this, one of the deities roared in anger, transforming into a human-headed, snake-bodied figure entwined with a phantom of a serpent. After manifesting the phantom of the Houtu deity, it seemed that the power of the entire land was easily condensed into a form, which then swept towards another young deity of the Houtu clan as a phantom of a serpent. However, it was entangled by another, even thicker phantom of a serpent, which faintly emitted a bright yellow breath, making it extremely strange.

Yan Ju saw this scene from afar. After more than 100,000 years of recuperation, this small place where the descendants of the twelve clans lived was becoming prosperous.

Yan Ju did not conceal his presence at this moment. In an instant, a burly man dressed in a black robe appeared under the big locust tree. He was tall, with a square face full of majesty and coldness, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Ju.

"What brings Your Majesty the Great Sun Emperor here today?"

Yan Ju smiled slightly.

"Naturally, we should return the weapon to Fellow Daoist Xing Tian!"

With a wave of his hand, a black and gold divine axe appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to Xing Tian.

Feeling the familiar power emanating from the axe in his hand, Xing Tian's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly.

"Your Majesty the Great Sun Holy Emperor, do not think that I will be grateful to you!"

He slightly brandished the axe in his hand and said coldly.

"If one day I attain enlightenment, I will sooner or later challenge His Majesty the Holy Emperor and rescue Her Majesty Houtu!"

Yan Ju laughed.

"Then I'll wait for that day to come! I'm also eager to see how strong the next Path of Power will be."

Xing Tian gave him a deep look, and then said.

"Please forgive the twelve tribes for their inability to entertain Your Majesty the Holy Emperor. Your Majesty may leave now!"

He turned around and was about to walk back into the village.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ju suddenly spoke.

"If I were you, I would choose to join the Xuanmen Heavenly Court at this time and see for myself what the world created by Xuanmen is really like. There must be a reason why so many powerful members of the twelve clans have joined Xuanmen and become the best among them!"

Seeing that Xing Tian's steps did not change, Yan Ju said softly.

"To know how strong an enemy is, you have to understand him, don't you?"

After saying that, Yan Ju's figure transformed into a streak of light and quietly disappeared from the spot.

Xing Tian paused, turned around, and looked at the spot where Yan Ju had disappeared, his expression somewhat cold.

This Great Sun Holy Emperor is even more powerful than he expected. Does he really think he can subdue him with the overwhelming power of the Xuanmen?
If that's the case, then the other party has seriously underestimated Xing Tian.

……

Zhou Tian Xing Chen Dao Palace
After Yan Ju returned the Ganqi Divine Axe, he went to Hundong Star.

From afar, he could see that the Chaos Star had grown increasingly enormous over the years, its starlight illuminating vast expanses of the starry sea, the depths of which teemed with spiritual vitality.

Thanks to the World Tree's support, its origin is now comparable to that of the Sun and Moon.

It seems to have become a symbol of the 'spirituality' and 'vital energy' of heaven and earth, and also represents the source of all heavens.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ju smiled slightly.

His wealth has been growing steadily over the years without him even realizing it.

He landed on the canopy of the enormous World Tree in a single step.

Yang Huai's true form manifested, his gaze falling on Yan Ju, sweeping over him slightly, and he nodded gently.

"It seems you've prepared everything!"

Yan Ju nodded.

During this period, he had thoroughly comprehended the mysteries of the Tai Chi Dao, but unfortunately, the Tai Chi Dao in the desolate world already had an owner, so he naturally could not elevate the Boundless Dao Fruit into the Tai Chi Dao.

However, the fact that it is not allowed in the Wilderness Realm does not mean that it is not allowed in the Purple Mansion Heaven Realm.

However, this requires the original body to summon it in reverse, bringing it into the Purple Mansion Heavenly Realm.

This was the first time Yang Huai had ever summoned me in the opposite direction, which actually required him to take some risks.

Because the creator spirit of the Purple Mansion Heavenly Realm, the Holy Ancestor Purple Cloud, is still alive and about to transcend, if he notices anything amiss, complications are bound to arise.

Moreover, once Yan Ju attains enlightenment, he will likely be unable to return to the Desolate World, because he contains the Dao Fruit of the Taiji Dao Path. If he returns to the Desolate World, he will inevitably be marked by the Heavenly Dao.

Yanju could only return to his body and be fused with by him in advance.

It would indeed be better for Yan Ju to exist alone than to merge with it beforehand!
However, Yang Huai had to make a choice in advance to prevent the Taiji Dao path in the Purple Mansion Heaven from being occupied by others.

Yan Ju took one last look at the Yan Emperor's Palace and the vast land ahead, a hint of melancholy in the depths of his eyes.

His mission was now nearly complete.

……

Within the Purple Mansion Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Universe, and the Heavenly Dao Palace
Yang Huai's true form manifested. He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and the Flame Abode condensed from his cloud of light, before landing opposite him.

At this moment, a special mark appeared on Yan Ju's head.

That was because the Three Corpse Imprints that Yang Huai had created merged with him, thus concealing the boundless aura of the Dao Fruit on his body, preventing it from being immediately marked by the Purple Mansion Heavenly Realm.

After a slight adjustment, the nine-colored Tai Chi diagram behind Yan Ju appeared, gradually transforming into a half-black and half-white Tai Chi diagram in mid-air, as if the nine-colored light spots were being gradually stained by black and white.

As the saying goes, one begets two, and two begets three. At this moment, Yan Ju seemed to represent the Great Dao Mother of Heaven and Earth, the source of all laws, and the immeasurable Dao Fruit deep in his brow slowly transformed into a small Tai Chi diagram.
