The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 307 All Six Emperors Are Complete
Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, the place of reincarnation.

Houtu Niangniang and the three Taoist priests watched Xuanming undergo his tribulation, occasionally clicking their tongues in amazement.

Sometimes they would even cast spells and record them.

This will be left for later when I'll tease Fellow Daoist Xuanming.

Yu Chen Daoist went out for a while, and when he came back, he was carrying a lot of melons and fruits, which he ate as he looked at them.

The other three immediately followed suit.

Indeed, the story became more interesting.

They saw that Xuanming's reincarnation had been sold into a theater.

He was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, being sweet-talked by his strong and muscular senior brother, falling in love at first sight with a talented and beautiful heroine, and being forcibly taken by a powerful general...

Then he buried his childhood sweetheart with tears in his eyes, poisoned his senior brother who had used him as a pawn, and a great fire burned down the magnificent opera house. He transformed from a canary into a golden eagle and resolutely went to the battlefield.

When I saw him again, he was on a battlefield where he was licking blood from the blade; he was fighting fiercely and was often covered in wounds...

Later, he met the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor. One was a young general with a deep secret, and the other was a seemingly纨绔 (playboy) prince. On the surface, they were mortal enemies and couldn't stand each other, but in reality, they appreciated each other and had frequent private interactions.

By chance, the prince discovered the young general's secret and assumed he was a woman disguised as a man, so he covered for him. The eldest princess of the court fell in love with the young general and forcefully coerced him into becoming her concubine.

To avoid the trouble, he temporarily left the capital and went to the epidemic area, where he unfortunately contracted the disease. The prince and the princess personally went to the disaster area to visit him and take care of him. In the end, the secret could not be kept.

The eldest princess loved it even more.

She felt she needed to carefully select a future consort to cherish the general together; he was a precious treasure.

The prince was conflicted.

After careful consideration, he secretly sent the general away.

As a result, the eldest princess went mad.

If I can't have it, no one else can either.

The general has disappeared after an assassination attempt.

When Xuanming's reincarnation reappeared, he was blind. He suffered a serious illness and was on the verge of death, becoming a cripple.

Fortunately, a peasant woman stayed by his side.

She showed no disgust whatsoever, even marrying him and willingly protecting his secret, while also farming to support him.

Xuanming's reincarnated body felt warmth and thought that dying in the countryside was not a bad choice.

He raised his children in this remote and impoverished place, enjoying the bliss of family life, but this happy time did not last long.

He was found by his old enemies, his wife and children were brutally murdered, and he himself was disfigured, leaving only a frail and sickly daughter.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While Xuanming was experiencing the hardships of human life, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man were also developing rapidly.

Under Zhu Wu's rule, the Ming Dynasty was thriving, with all ethnic groups prospering and maintaining harmonious relations. They also exchanged goods with beings from beyond the borders, and even when conflicts arose, they were resolved on the fighting platform.

They married into each other's families and maintained close ties like one family.

Even as he approached his death, the power struggles within the imperial court did not affect ordinary people, remaining within a reasonable range.

As the hidden dangers in the underworld gradually decreased, the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms became more stable, the rules of the underworld were fully taken into account, the laws of yin and yang were in good order, and various functions were gradually completed.

Under the governance of Gouchen and Antarctic Longevity, the Heavenly Court is undergoing rapid changes. The gods are gradually perfected, each returning to their place and performing their duties. Their work in regulating the four seasons, harmonizing the yin and yang of the sun and moon, and praying for blessings and warding off disasters is gradually on the right track, and their prestige is growing stronger day by day.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is constantly increasing, and heaven and earth are rapidly evolving, raising their upper limits to accommodate more cultivators, even powerful beings and semi-immortals.

All factions either nominally affiliated with the Heavenly Court or pledged allegiance to the Underworld, further narrowing the gap between Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Four Seas Dragon Clan joined forces to promote the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Water, further balancing the three realms. Taishang, Yuchen, and Yuanshi stopped observing and left the Underworld, heading straight to the Flying Fire Hall of the Seeking Truth Temple to jointly forge the Star Flag. The Heavenly Court and some other powerful beings who had free time were also busy with this matter.

Houtu reluctantly withdrew her gaze, then pulled the powerful beings of the Netherworld into seclusion to refine magical treasures to set up the Nine Netherworld Formation in case of emergency.

The Seven Immortals of Xuanxu were also refining treasures.

Today, they have become powerful beings, revered as ancestors within the Earth Immortal system. This joint effort to upgrade the Mountain and River Map is also a preparation for dealing with the great calamity.

Although Senior Brother Xuanming has become an immortal, the Boundless Dao Ancestor is not to be underestimated. No one knows what trump cards he has hidden. If Senior Brother needs help, they can provide some assistance.

Even if my senior brother successfully defeats the Boundless Dao Ancestor in the future, all their hard work will not have been in vain. With the Mountain and River Map, which has been reforged and rebuilt, suppressing the Earth Immortal lineage, their fortune will be more stable.

The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man gradually evolved in an orderly manner.

Xuanming's reincarnation will also experience the full spectrum of joys and sorrows.

In his first life, he lived to be only twenty-five. On a night of hunger and cold, he held his dying daughter, set fire to his enemy's mansion, and perished together with him.

He experienced love, hate, passion, and grudges all at once.

After his death, he was found by the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, who personally buried him with his wife and children. He then returned to the capital and became the new ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Wu's death, he regained his memories, broke through several realms in succession, and became a powerful god in one fell swoop.

However, this Emperor Ziwei did not immediately return to Heaven to assume his position. Instead, he went to the Underworld, took over the Fengdu Palace on Mount Luofeng, became the Lord of the Underworld and the first ruler of the Netherworld, and quickly made several achievements. He combined kindness and severity to establish his prestige and solidify his position, winning the hearts and minds of everyone in the Underworld.

Meanwhile, after the Jade Emperor's reincarnation ascended to the throne, he worked diligently and loved the people, making the Ming Dynasty increasingly powerful. Xuanming's reincarnation was also reborn under this background, becoming a noble family's son and growing up in luxury.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

The whole family was convicted of a crime. Although they survived, they were exiled thousands of miles away. On the way, they caught a cold and suffered from hardship and displacement. At the young age of five, they fell ill and died.

Lifetime after life.

Xuanming experienced birth, aging, sickness, and death.

With only ten years left before the Boundless Dao Ancestor broke through to the next realm, Xuanming returned and went into seclusion in Fuyun Mountain to digest what he had gained from reincarnation. Although he was still not confident in passing the tribulation of transcendence, he was no longer as hopeless as before and had at least 30% confidence.

Emperor Ziwei also returned to Heaven.

He left behind an incarnation in the underworld.

He first became the ruler of the human world, then the ruler of the underworld. This time, his return to his original position makes him the link between the further evolution of the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. He not only benefits heaven and earth, but also achieves his goal in one step. His strength is comparable to that of a half-immortal with two calamities, and he catches up with Gouchen and the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

The reincarnation of the Jade Emperor also passed away, passing the throne to his younger brother, the Crown Prince, who returned to his position in the Heavenly Court. His strength was comparable to that of the Ziwei Emperor.

The six emperors of Heaven gathered together.

The Way of Heaven evolved further.

The three elements (heaven, earth, and man) have become more stable.

The source of the evil was gradually weakened.

Ten years later, deep in the starry sky.

One by one, powerful beings emerged from the spatial passage.

Compared to five hundred years ago, there are ten more powerful beings now, and two of them have advanced to the rank of half-immortal.

This is the benefit of the evolution of heaven and earth.

The fluctuations in the depths of the starry sky grew increasingly violent.

Xuanming led his powerful followers to form an array, ready for battle.

No amount of respect is too much when facing the Boundless Dao Ancestor.
