The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 574 Heavenly Emperor's Illusion
The seven-colored glow dissipated silently.

The Ascension Platform of the Xuantian Sect was also clearly in sight.

Wang Wu and Ling Yue returned, but as soon as they landed on the Ascension Platform, they saw five figures descending from the sky, as if the brilliance of the entire Celestial Realm had been taken away and the core of all power had been controlled.

At this moment, Wang Wu even had the illusion that his power did not belong to him.

Of course, it's just an illusion.

After all, he is no longer the same as before. In particular, this short journey to the Dao Fire Realm has almost allowed him to prove his Yin and Yang, and he is very close to catching up with the former Tian Shu.

As for the five figures, they were the five Great Luo Immortals responsible for maintaining the expedition route.

The fact that they were alerted shows how serious the situation is.

At this moment, Ling Yue suddenly rolled his eyes, as if a change had occurred in his consciousness. At the same time, Wang Wu also felt that his memories and thoughts were being intensely spied on.

It was as if Da Luo could forcibly read his thoughts and all his secrets.

He resisted desperately, vowing never to submit. A few seconds later, the feeling of being spied on silently dissipated, while Ling Yue beside him still had his eyes rolled back, his memories being read.

This scene made Wang Wu's scalp tingle, but he dared not say anything and could only wait quietly.

After a long while, Ling Yue collapsed to the ground with a thud, but he seemed to be in no danger, as some force took him away.

From then on, only Wang Wu remained on the Ascension Platform. At this moment, he could not see outside, nor could he sense the One Dao. He felt that this place had been sealed off by the five Great Luo Immortals, if he were a Chi Clan Immortal Lord who had infiltrated from the Dao Fire Realm.

“Wang Wu, you did well. Although your actions attracted the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan, which led to the annihilation of the rest of the expedition team and the destruction of the expedition route, your one raid is worth ten of the previous ones. In this respect, you have made a contribution and have no fault.”

A powerful voice echoed down.

Unable to distinguish whether they were male or female, old or young, Wang Wu looked up, but he could only see five figures. Although they were the same size as normal people, they gave the feeling that the world was filled with them, that the world was their creation, and that they were even the embodiment of the One Great Dao.

This was Wang Wu's first time facing the Great Luo, comparable to facing the One and Only Great Dao.

But at this moment, he was left with only a sense of luck, because not long ago, he had escaped from the hands of a being of a similar level, and this kind of luck was extremely rare.

It was precisely because he was able to face the Great Luo directly that Wang Wu realized for the first time that once the twelve Great Luos united to block the One Great Dao, then no half-step Great Luo would be able to advance to Great Luo on their own.

Because their twelve Great Luos are the One Great Dao.

Perhaps the only way to destroy them, to defeat them, is to destroy the structure of the One Great Dao, causing the Great Immortal Cultivation World to collapse, just as Tian Shu did.

However, if that were the case, no one would be able to win.

"Wang Wu, you are a smart man and a very capable unaffiliated Grand Luo. Because of your performance this time, we are willing to give you a chance, a chance to advance to the Grand Luo realm. That is to become the thirteenth Grand Luo who controls the One Great Dao."

"But this is on the premise that you need to continue your expeditions to the Dao Fire Realm and complete that plan."

"Of course, you don't need to rush to refuse or immediately agree, because agreeing or refusing will not affect the final result."

"Now, you should take a look at your reward for this."

Amidst this resounding sound, Wang Wu suddenly felt a moment of disorientation. When he snapped back to reality, he found that the five Great Luo Immortals had vanished, and everything on the Ascension Platform was as usual, including Ling Yue, who had just been taken away while unconscious, as if nothing had happened.

and many more?

wrong!

Wang Wu looked around in horror. There were exactly twenty-four people, no more and no less. Not far away were Jiang Dongting and Lu Wuchen. "Damn, am I seeing things or am I in a hallucination?"
Damn it, shouldn't everyone else be trapped in the Dao Fire Realm except for him and Ling Yue?
Why has it started all over again?

"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, calm down, this is the reward from the Great Luo."

Ling Yue suddenly whispered something at this moment, which startled Wang Wu so much that he almost jumped up.

"I don't know."

"You will understand. This is the power of the Great Luo, and this is the power of the One Great Dao. As long as it is possible, everything can be reenacted. You understand this, don't you? When the Three Calamities were reenacted, you should have known that under the One Great Dao, only the Great Luo is eternal. If one does not become a Great Luo for even a day, everything is in vain."

Ling Yue spoke calmly, as if he knew everything.

"Wait, you-"

Wang Wu looked at him in surprise, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right, you guessed it. It doesn't matter who the real Ling Yue is, whether he's alive or dead. What matters is that I'm now an avatar of a certain Great Luo Immortal, and I'm here to cooperate with you personally!"

Wang Wu was panicked for a while, but gradually he calmed down.

Because all of this seems unbelievable, yet it is in fact so reasonable. Therefore, it has never been the evolution of three calamities, but always the evolution of five calamities. The two hidden calamities are the huge jokes that these Great Luo Immortals played on cultivators, and also on all the unaffiliated half-step Great Luo Immortals.

Multidimensional universes and parallel worlds are nothing to Da Luo.

The only difference lies in the resources required for evolution.

This time, he touched the core of the Dao Fire Realm on the other side, which is why those Great Luo Immortals made an exception and allowed him to witness this supreme evolution.

Otherwise, no matter how many years he struggles, he will only be able to linger on the fringes, unable to find the way in.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Wu asked, "Can't I rest for a while? I feel I still need to improve and strengthen myself."

Ling Yue shook his head, "You don't need to go into seclusion at all, nor do you need to continue to improve. You know very well that you have already touched a certain boundary. If you continue to stay in the Great Immortal Cultivation World before you advance to the Great Luo realm, you will be the source of chaos and the destroyer of the only Great Dao."

"So you can understand it as you being exiled, just like the other eight unaffiliated half-step Great Luo Immortals. Unless you finally change the core structure of the Dao Fire Realm one day, you will never be able to return to the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"This is a good thing for you, and it is also a good thing for the Great Cultivation World."

"I hope you understand that from now on, I will be your channel to communicate with the One Great Dao. You don't need to worry about anything, because you can live nine times over."

"For example, this seven-colored light tunnel is now entirely under your control. If you don't want to get there, you will never get there."

"Is there anything you still cherish? Your wife, Shuang Hongye, her soul is no longer in the Great Immortal Cultivation World. She is left with only an empty shell with 80,000 years of lifespan remaining. This shell will be annihilated by the power of the One Great Dao. There is nothing you can do about it. If you don't advance to the Great Luo realm, this will happen."

"But now, you are almost immortal."

Wang Wu calmed down. "You mean there are eight other half-step Grand Luo cultivators who were exiled like me?"

"That's right. Among them are the Hidden Origin Divine Lord you know, and your old love Qingxue. They could have lived their lives in the Great Immortal Cultivation World until the end of their lifespan. No matter how many millions of years they had, it didn't matter. Time is like a long river, and it will eventually take them all away. But the self-destruction of Tian Shu made them, and you, the biggest beneficiaries."

"Now, they are all like you, having received this gift of the Great Luo, which is also a gift of the Great Dao. You all have nine chances to be resurrected, you will all be covered by the unique light of the Great Dao, and you will all have almost unlimited freedom, provided that no tenth half-step Great Luo, as excellent and ambitious as you, appears in the Great Immortal Cultivation World."

After saying that, Ling Yue waved his hand and saw a simple and ancient ranking list with ten names on it. Wang Wu's name was ranked ninth, while Yin Yuan Shenjun was ranked first and Qing Xue was ranked sixth.

"Look, you don't need to worry too much. This ranking is updated every ten million years, and a bottom-ranking elimination system is implemented. Every time it is updated and settled, the person at the bottom will be crushed and annihilated by the One Dao, and his power will become a part of the One Dao. And a new half-step Da Luo will be arranged to compete with you."

"You don't need to worry about us cheating. As Great Luo Immortals, we exist alongside the One Great Dao. We are the Great Dao, and the Great Dao is us. So, strive to become a part of us. Or you can even create a new Great Dao. Anything is possible."

Hearing Ling Yue's explanation, Wang Wu was not angry. He just looked at the ranking list seriously and then smiled after a long time: "Actually, the way you say it makes you seem less impressive. You are a Great Luo Immortal, but you are not a Great Luo Immortal of my One Great Dao. I apologize for the offense."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Wu had already activated a golden light of creation.

With a loud boom, countless dazzling golden rays shot into the sky, protecting Wang Wu's soul and immortal body from the inside out. Everything else was reduced to nothing.

At that moment, Ling Yue also screamed in agony, his body melting away and transforming into the appearance of a demon.

That's right, they didn't even have time to return to the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm. Even though they escaped the final attack, they were still pulled into an illusion by the unpredictable methods of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan. They almost fooled Wang Wu.

Actually, Wang Wu wasn't entirely sure either, but as long as he had even the slightest doubt, it was always a good idea to verify it.

And he just happens to have the most correct verification method.

Those were the three golden rays of creation given to him by his cheap Grandmaster.

He verified everything with just one test.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, save me! Save me!"

Ling Yue's cries for help rang out intermittently.

Wang Wu stood alone within the golden light of creation, untouched by any power, including the Heavenly Lantern of the Dao Fire Realm, which was actually ridiculously powerful.

This item, once unleashed, could effortlessly annihilate even the most powerful immortals of the demon race.

However, Wang Wu ultimately used it at the most opportune moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light of creation dissipated, and Ling Yue's figure was no longer outside. Only a dim, seven-colored glowing passage remained, stretching out in front of them.

This time, however, it's certain: he's back.

He was all alone.

Even Ling Yue is dead.

The dangers of the Dao Fire Realm are evident.
