The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 310 Transcendence, Roaming the Heavens (Grand Finale)

Fifteen hundred years later, Xuanming returned.

He went into seclusion again at the Wendao Academy.

Five hundred years later, he emerged from seclusion again.

The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and the aroma of tea filled the air. Xuanming lay in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth while calculating with his fingers.

Over these two thousand years, the world has evolved in an orderly manner.

With the source of evil eradicated, the two paths of Heaven and Earth caught up again, humanity was renewed, and the three realms of Heaven and Earth were more balanced.

The former deformities are gone, and all three paths are advancing simultaneously.

This world is teeming with spiritual energy, with spiritual veins sprouting everywhere. The sky rises higher and the earth thickens year by year.

Natural treasures are emerging, and opportunities abound.

Each god performed their duties, and the Heavenly Court and the Underworld became increasingly influential, bringing blessings to heaven and earth and protecting all living beings.

The number of practitioners is also increasing.

Qiuzhen Temple has become the foremost holy site, a legend, revered by all three realms and admired by all living beings.

The sect leader has changed twice.

Currently, it is Xuanming's disciple's grandson who is in charge.

It was collected by Li Zizai a thousand years ago in order to be free and carefree as soon as possible.

Five hundred years ago, this grand-disciple became the sect leader.

After a thousand years of cultivation, he has become a great master and plans to pass on the position of sect leader to his own disciple so that he can emulate his grandmaster and master's unrestrained and unconventional lifestyle and become a drunken sword immortal.

Riding the wind on a sword, I vanquish demons across the land.

With wine, I am carefree and happy; without wine, I am still wild and unrestrained.

One drink empties the rivers, another swallows the sun and moon.

I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, for I am the Wine Sword Immortal.

This was left behind by our grandmaster.

After examining the grand-disciple, then examine the disciple.

Meng Po, the second disciple, has been working diligently in the underworld and has cultivated herself into a top-tier powerhouse, becoming one of the big shots in the netherworld.

The name of Meng Po's soup is known throughout the three realms.

The eldest disciple, Li Zizai, was already a half-immortal, spending his days playing around in the mortal world, sometimes showing off his divine abilities in front of others, and sometimes acting carefree and irresponsible.

In short, he's not serious at all.

"Stinky boy!"

Xuanming cursed under his breath.

Life is really good.

With a wave of his hand, a pine cone fell from the pine tree.

The pine cone vanished into thin air. At the same time, millions of miles away, Li Zizai, who was teasing Jin Moli three times, was hit by a pine cone. Things immediately went wrong, and the balance of power shifted instantly.

"Can you warm it up...?"

Xuanming continued his calculations.

Chang'anzi and Changning have already achieved great power and are traveling around enjoying themselves, leaving their child with Xuansu.

Former high-ranking members of the Taiping Cult were reincarnated, cleansed of their sins, and began a new life of spiritual cultivation.

Zhong Neng, Ji Yuan, and the powerful figures of the original three great dynasties are still in the cycle of reincarnation. The latter will be able to return in another thousand years, while the former will be able to return in two thousand years.

The leader of the Taiping Dao was still a half-immortal of the Second Calamity, but his cultivation had become increasingly profound. His divine body entered the earthly path and he became the master of Mount Tai. The three great masters of the Taiping Sect in the past had also made breakthroughs and had long since become top-level masters.

With the help of the Supreme Taoist, the Qiu family patriarch was reincarnated and cultivated again. When he returned, he had truly become a great power. The Linglong Pagoda where he once lived became the property of the Supreme Taoist and was refined into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.

In short, familiarity with all living beings leads to progress.

That's a good thing.

However, if the Great Thousand Universe wants to advance and ensure the complete stability of the Three Powers, there will be no hidden worries in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to unify the three rules of power.

This is also beneficial for his detachment.

With this in mind, Xuanming entered the Three Heavens and communicated with the three Daoists, Taishang, Yuchen, and Yuanshi.

Houtu Niangniang and other gods later joined in.

After a century of discussion and deliberation.

They made a breakthrough.

---

More than two thousand years have passed.

The great power of heaven and earth reunites at Floating Cloud Mountain.

Countless auspicious clouds and colorful lights, and dazzling rosy clouds and neon lights.

Upon seeing Xuanming, the older generation of powerful figures reminisced about the past, while the newly promoted powerful figures were excited, waiting for them to each sit cross-legged on the cloud platform.

Xuanming said, "I have invited you all here today because there is something to discuss. The two paths of heaven and earth have evolved for nearly three thousand years, and the three realms have become relatively stable. However, if we want to solve this problem once and for all and prevent the three realms from becoming unbalanced again, and to eliminate the source of evil, we need to promote the advancement of the world."

When the three powers (heaven, earth, and man) are united, the rules endure, and they advance and retreat together, only then can this world prosper and flourish.

As for how to promote the world's advancement, I already have a method, but it is difficult for me to accomplish it by my own strength. I also wish to offer you all an opportunity, which is why we have gathered here today.

Upon hearing this, the assembled experts were both excited and curious.

Excitement signifies the advancement of heaven and earth, from which they will benefit and may even usher in great fortune. The benefits of this advancement can be seen in the few newly born demigods over the past two thousand years.

Curious, what method could possibly elevate the heavens and earth?

As for being shocked, there was some, but not much.

Xuanming Daozu is the number one immortal in heaven and earth, so it is both unexpected and reasonable that he could do this.

Li Zizai asked, "Master, what kind of method is it?"

He was a disciple of Xuanming.

It was most appropriate for him to be the first to ask the question. With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of light flew out, hovering among the powerful figures and forming a mysterious array in the void.

Xuanming explained: "In the past, I created two formations based on the starry sky and the netherworld. One was the Zhou Tian Star Formation, and the other was the Jiu You Sen Luo Formation. I used these two formations as a foundation, incorporated the wonders of heaven, earth and man, and added the four symbols, the two polarities, and the primordial transformations. With painstaking effort, I created this Gui Yuan Zhuan Ling Formation."

This formation can transform chaotic energy into spiritual energy, injecting it into heaven and earth to replenish their depletion. It can also expel evil and malevolent energy from heaven and earth and import it into chaos; this exchange of energy achieves a dynamic interaction.

As they listened to Xuanming's explanation of the formation, the eyes of the powerful figures lit up. While admiring his ingenious idea, they all stared intently at the formation diagram in the void, carefully observing and studying it.

In the years that followed, the great masters sought his guidance while trying to comprehend the teachings, and Xuanming answered all their questions with patience and generosity.

It wasn't until ten years later, after all the powerful figures who had taken on their missions had left, that Xuanming finally had some free time.

After resting for several months, he tore open a spatial passage, stepped into it, and reappeared at the edge of the universe. The power of immortality surged, and Xuanming temporarily opened a crack and entered the chaos.

For the Spirit Transformation Array to succeed, it is necessary to find chaotic spiritual materials and refine the array-stabilizing items. Xuanming began to wander in the inner chaos.

---

Thousands of years later.

The borderlands rippled, and Xuanming returned.

In the Floating Clouds Mountain, the great powers will gather again.

With all the materials ready, Xuanming assigned tasks again.

Some powerful beings helped him refine and arrange array formations, while others collaborated with the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Great Ming Dynasty to draw array patterns and runes throughout the world.

The Spirit Transformation Array is based on the Four Symbols, rooted in the Three Powers, guided by the Two Forms, and revered by the Primordial Chaos. It requires the crafting of ten converters.

The true fire of the Eight Trigrams Furnace never goes out, day or night.

It took Xuanming and many powerful figures a thousand years to refine it, and a thousand years to set up the formation.

It took a full three thousand years for the Spirit Transfer Array to be completed.

A burst of spiritual light erupted, and a great array rose from the four corners of the earth, with the combined power of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and all living beings, enveloping the entire world.

When the formation was activated, four openings appeared at the four poles, and chaotic energy surged in, which was transformed into spiritual energy by the formation.

Evil and malevolent energies also originate from the four cardinal directions and are derived from heaven and earth.

The world was trembling with excitement.

The three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man are growing wildly.

The three supreme rules manifest, and the three return to one.

"It's done!"

Xuanming smiled.

The powerful beings beamed with joy.

The beings, not understanding why, felt joy in their hearts.

It was as if the world had changed.

They felt more comfortable.

Witnessing the unification of rules firsthand sparked profound inspiration and provided a continuous stream of insights.

He went into seclusion again.

As for global advancement, it is a long process.

Inside the Daoist Academy, Xuanming sat cross-legged, enveloped by nine streams of decaying energy, each a rule comparable to the source of evil.

This is precisely the ninth difficulty.

In the past, Xuanming was very wary of them.

But now, I have nothing to fear.

The nine rules were simulated by the Primordial Chaos Rules to advance the world, first the nine were reduced to three, and then the three were reduced to one.

In the end, Jiunan was swallowed up.

Xuanming entered a realm of profound mystery.

Achieve the status of a Great Celestial Immortal!

He sensed the myriad realms of time and space.

With all the shackles removed, I felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Stepping out of the room, a thousand years had passed.

The world has completed its ascension.

It becomes a vast world within chaos.

Xuanming traveled the world, reaching the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea, experiencing the new atmosphere of the world. Along the way, he visited the families of his two older sisters, who had been his descendants and had now risen to the top level. He also went to the small world of the Taiping Sect to catch up with the Taiping Dao Master before returning to Fuyun Mountain.

He summoned his two disciples and instructed Li Zizai and Meng Po in their cultivation, helping them achieve the status of a half-immortal with two calamities. He then drank and chatted with the Seven Earth Immortals of Xuanxu, reminiscing about the past years.

Xuanming left.

Within the chaos, he glanced at the world behind him and raised his hand to create a protective barrier.

Upon arriving at the place where the Boundless Dao Ancestor was once sealed, Xuanming destroyed the source of evil with his bare hands and killed the true spirit of the Boundless Dao Ancestor. Then, a series of messages appeared in Xuanming's mind, revealing that the Boundless Dao Ancestor was actually the transmigrator.

After transmigrating to this world, he embarked on the path of cultivation based on the Infinite Sutra, thus opening up the way of cultivation.

Just as he was about to be devoured by the source of evil, he used his memories from his previous life to personally sever Xuanming and throw it into the world, while also severing his own memories of his transmigration.

The Huangting Jing was chosen by the Three Pure Ones to save this world and put it back on the right track.

This is one of the ways in which the divine bodies of immortals and gods spread throughout the heavens, and for those who are merely tools, transcendence is both a blessing and a form of compensation.

After understanding, Xuanming laughed three times and walked alone into the depths of chaos.

Chaotic currents surged.

To obliterate all traces.

No one knows where he went.

All that remains of heaven and earth are the legends of Xuanming.

Even Li Zizai, who later became an immortal, did not know where his master had gone, only writing in the "Biography of Xuanming Daozu":

[On the day the Xuanming Dao Ancestor departed, three heavens descended: Taiji, Taixuan, and Taixu, from which three talented ancestors were sent to guard Heaven and Earth. The Heavenly Court was increased from thirty-three days to thirty-six heavens, marking the beginning of the new era of Heaven and Earth.]
