The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 301 Refining the Jade Ruyi

The magnificent array shrank in size, its power became concentrated, and it eventually sealed off the exit of Baiyujing.

Even the restrictions were repaired.

The terrifying anomalies deep within the starry sky disappeared.

All the great powers breathed a sigh of relief.

it is finally over.

That Dao Ancestor was indeed incredibly powerful, living up to his reputation. If it weren't for Xuanming protecting them, they would probably have been in serious trouble.

"Fellow Daoists, you have worked hard."

"Not at all! Not at all! Fellow Daoist has made the greatest contribution."

"Fellow Daoist Taiping has also made great contributions."

……

The group of people exchanged pleasantries.

After waiting a while longer and confirming that the Boundless Dao Ancestor was unable to break the seal in time, and that Baiyujing was temporarily silent, they each left.

As for the Nine Heavens Plan, we can discuss it later.

Seeking Truth Temple, Hidden Dao Peak, Seeking the Way Academy.

Xuanming went into seclusion upon his return.

Although he sealed away the Boundless Dao Ancestor, there was still a pair of arms in his eyes that needed to be dealt with.

With a thought, lightning and fire appeared in his pupils, burning away the wisps of ominous energy. But this was merely a drop in the ocean. If it were so easy to solve, the powerful beings wouldn't be so troubled, so terrified, and so fearful of him.

Fortunately, although these arms contained a vast and ominous aura, they were like water without a source when separated from the Boundless Dao Ancestor.

Xuanming has plenty of ways to deal with this.

With this in mind, he activated his Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Power, manifesting twelve streams of chaotic energy, each divided into six, to cleanse his arms, erasing the ominous signs, and then, with both arms, he traveled through the river of time.

Using the power of time to erode the arm and dispel misfortune, the ominous energy was eliminated in just three years, leaving the arm as nothing.

After resolving this matter, Xuanming focused on seclusion to digest what he had learned. Although his battle with Wuliang Daozu was fraught with danger, he also gained a lot. He not only learned more about Wuliang Daozu's background, but also gained a deeper understanding of the knowledge and application of the rules.

He sat cross-legged, his mind focused and absorbed in reviewing the details, gradually exuding a mysterious and abstruse aura.

Time is like water.

It has been ten years since the Dao Ancestor was sealed.

The gates of the Taoist temple opened, and an old Taoist with white hair, holding a whisk, walked through Floating Cloud Mountain. While enjoying the scenery and relaxing his mind and body, he visited the Seven Immortals of Xuanxu, sipped wine, played chess, reminisced with his fellow disciples, and exchanged feelings.

After the underground passage was perfected, they benefited greatly. In recent years, the Earth Immortal Method has spread widely and been accepted by more and more living beings. As one of the earliest Earth Immortals, Xuanxu and others have benefited greatly.

Today, they are comparable to the Great Cultivation Realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and even powerful beings cannot do anything to them within their own blessed land.

They clinked glasses and chatted about everything under the sun.

Two weeks later, Xuanming left.

He returned to Zangdao Peak and preached the Dharma to Li Zizai, Chang'anzi, and Changning.

Now, they have all achieved the level of Spirit Refinement, and Li Zizai has even regained his memories of his past life, reaching the level of Yang Spirit.

They have truly upheld the pursuit of truth.

After preaching for half a year, Xuanming tore open a spatial passage, left, and appeared in the small world of the Taiping Sect.

Inside the Taiping Palace, powerful figures gathered.

Powerful beings from all directions were also present.

When Xuanming arrived, the meeting officially began.

"The reason I have summoned you fellow Daoists here today is to discuss the Nine Heavens Plan. The Underworld has been established, and the cycle of reincarnation has begun. The Earth Gods have been successively appointed during our ten years of seclusion. The Earth Goddess, the Great Savior of Suffering, and the Earth Immortals are all sorting out the Netherworld and the Earth Veins, repairing the loopholes, and resolving future troubles. It is only a matter of time before the Earth Dao advances further."

The most urgent task is to open up a new heaven, establish a celestial court, confer titles upon the gods, and promote the evolution of the heavenly way. With a wave of his sleeve, he sent out a jade slip, which slowly unfolded in mid-air, revealing tens of thousands of characters and listing thousands of articles.

"This is the Nine Heavens Plan that I discussed and refined with my fellow Daoists in the Central Plains. Fellow Daoists from beyond the realm can take a look and see which parts need improvement. Other Daoists can also take a look and see what else needs to be improved or discussed. Times have changed, and if there are any problems, we will make changes in time."

"What fellow Taoist said is true."

"As it should be!"

The majority nodded in agreement.

The Nine Heavens Project is of paramount importance.

Whether they were powerful figures from the Central Plains or those from beyond the four realms, they all began to read carefully.

I carefully considered every sentence.

I savored each one carefully.

Even the four half-immortals, Xuanming, were no exception.

Time flies.

This discussion lasted for three years, involving hundreds of debates and reflections, dozens of revisions and restarts, and more than a dozen simulations of the plan before the final version of the Nine-Day Plan was finalized.

Each of the great powers went their separate ways, each busy with their own tasks, and they would meet again in ten years.

Fuyun Mountain, Qiuzhen Temple.

After returning to the temple, Xuanming went into seclusion again.

Taiji Heaven and Taixuan Heaven have initially stabilized and are expanding. They no longer need Taishang Daoren and Yuchen Daoren to watch over them constantly. They joined forces with Xuanming to unseal the Jade Ruyi, which was temporarily suppressed in the underground passage, and set up the Three Talents Formation to begin erasing the ominous aura and the imprint of the Boundless Dao Ancestor's primordial spirit on the Jade Ruyi.

The three elements are washed away, time is polished, space is crushed, yin and yang are transformed, and the primordial chaos is assimilated.

Xuanming worked tirelessly for five years, day and night, never daring to slack off. Only after five years did he gain the upper hand and win a chance to catch his breath. He then suppressed the treasure in Taiji Heaven and Taixuan Heaven, using the combined power of the two heavens to refine the jade ruyi like a frog being slowly boiled in water.

After sleeping in the thatched hut for ten days and ten nights, Xuanming took a bath in the mountains after waking up. He then borrowed fine wine from his junior brother Xuanyang and delicacies from his junior brother Xuankong. After a hearty meal, he took a boat trip on the lake before going into seclusion again.

Sitting cross-legged, with the two types of Yellow Court Qi enhancing his comprehension, Xuanming perfected the Investiture of the Gods technique.

During his seclusion, powerful beings from all corners of the world appeared, most frequently in the starry sky.

They are extremely busy, whether collecting the essence of heaven and earth, searching for rare and precious materials, or examining the character of living beings.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

All the great talents gathered at Fuyun Mountain as promised.

Xuanming appeared, his aura returning to its original simplicity.

The three fortune tellers have also made progress.

However, Zhong Neng and Ji Yuan have not made much progress because of their inner conflicts. If they cannot resolve these conflicts, even the greatest potential will only be a foundation, and they will find it difficult to accumulate knowledge and skills for future breakthroughs.

The Lord of Taiping Dao has already survived the second calamity. Although his aura is somewhat unstable, he is still a half-immortal who has survived the second calamity.

Upon seeing this, Xuanming was delighted. The stronger his allies were, the higher their chances of defeating Wuliang Daozu in the future.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist."

"It was just a fluke."

After a brief conversation, Xuanming and the Master of Taiping exchanged a smile, took their seats, and looked at the assembled powerful figures. Xuanming then inquired about their preparations, and upon confirming that everything was in order, he...

The group can redistribute its work and give full play to its strengths.

Xuanming, together with some powerful figures such as the Mo family's Tiangong, crafted the Investiture of the Gods and future Heavenly Palace treasures, such as the Four Heavenly Gates, the Execution Platform, and the Heavenly River Sluice Gate.

The powerful figures of Legalism and Confucianism, along with some of their disciples, will formulate heavenly rules and laws, regulate the laws of the Three Realms, and refine corresponding magical treasures.

The powerful figures from the farming community, the Taoist community, and the semi-immortals all had their own important matters to attend to. The powerful figures from the four directions and beyond were also not idle. They could also gain good fortune from this, bless the beings in the outer regions, and even completely eliminate the distinction between the outer regions and the Central Plains. Their attitude was more proactive and serious than that of other powerful figures.

Thus, after a brief reunion, the powerful beings continued their busy lives.
