I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 409: Phoenix Nest shakes! Pass nine levels!

When Jiang Chuan took a step forward and reached the seventh level, a strange feeling surged into his heart.

"Thunder Tribulation?"

Jiangchuan raised his head and looked at the sky.

The sky is blue, like transparent crystal, without a speck of dust.

But in his perception, it seemed as if endless thunder tribulations were about to emerge.

At the same time, he could clearly see thin, almost invisible lines floating around his body.

Powerful auras, some sacred, some strong, and some domineering, emanated from the thin threads.

Some of the auras here were ones he had come into contact with before, or had cultivated through their skills and magical powers, such as those of the Taichi Immortal King and the Zang Immortal Emperor. Some were ones he had never come into contact with, but the aura they conveyed was extremely powerful.

"Use illusions to conjure up the lines of thunder and causality."

Jiang Chuan immediately understood what the real test of the seventh level was, and also understood why Yang Hong gave up.

For cultivators, the most terrifying thing is thunder tribulation!

A calamity sent down by heaven can turn a True Immortal’s tens or even millions of years of hard practice into ashes.

Even a cultivator like Yang Hong knew that this was just a barrier set up by Qinghuang, the daughter of Phoenix Mother, and that it would most likely not actually bring about a thunder tribulation and attract a powerful enemy through the line of cause and effect.

But what if?
There are infinite possibilities when we are alive, but after death, there are no possibilities!
Jiang Chuan felt his scalp tingling at the thought of what would happen if the Immortal Emperor Burial, Emperor Yang, the Black Feather God, and the Xuanwu clan's celestial demon suddenly attacked him.

"Luckily, this is a simulation. If it were the real world, I would probably also consider whether to take this step."

While thinking, Jiang Chuan took another step forward.

The threads of cause and effect dissipated one after another, and the terrifying power that permeated the sky was gone, too.

Passed the seventh level!

The many demon tribes who were watching exclaimed in surprise.

"I've already passed seven levels!"

"Could it be that since the Immortal King Liexiao a hundred thousand years ago, someone has now broken through the Nine Phoenix Gates?!"

"It's hard to say. Over the past 100,000 years, there have been hundreds of True Immortals and Demon Lords who have passed the seventh level, but in the end, not a single one has made it to the ninth level."

Jiang Chuan took another step forward, and mist like clouds and fog appeared out of thin air on the golden bridge.

Under Jiangchuan's gaze, a woman walked out of the mist.

The woman's face is the Creator's proudest masterpiece, flawless and majestic.

The long skirt with silver-edged cloud patterns swayed gently with her steps, as if shrouded in clouds and mist.

Her long silver hair fell like a waterfall, dancing lightly in the wind, emitting a faint fairy light, just like the brightest star in the night sky.

She was clearly just in front of Jiang Chuan, but she seemed to be standing above the clouds, overlooking all living beings, with a trace of otherworldly tranquility between her brows.

"This is the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor!"

"Just like the legend says, the Golden Bridge will transform into the former enemy of the Blue Phoenix Ancestor to fight against the cultivators who break through the Nine Gates of the Phoenix!"

“I never thought that the Immortal Emperor Sui Shi would appear this time!”

Lan Rui, Five Seasons Demon Lord and others, as well as many demon tribes, all looked intently at Jiang Chuan and Sui Shi Immortal Emperor, waiting for their confrontation.

"The Immortal Emperor passed away this year."

Jiang Chuan didn't expect that he would actually fight against the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor this time.

Although the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor is a woman, she is extremely domineering. When she slapped Jiang Chuan with one palm, the river of time was immediately moved.

It was like a string of divine waterfalls falling from the sky and hitting the rivers.

Sensing the energy of the Time Technique, Jiang Chuan did not hesitate at all and directly used the Time Technique, which was renamed the Supreme Sacred Technique of Dominating Time, and punched out at the same time.

Boom!

As their fists and palms collided, the sky, which was drawn down by the long river of time by the two men using the Time Magic, collided with each other with a loud bang.

In an instant, the water of time was flying, and the light of time was like a fierce dragon released from the cage, flying in all directions.

The many demons who saw this scene were horrified.

"The Water of Time and the Light of Time are coming! Run!"

"I only have three thousand years left to live. I must not be overshadowed by the light of time!"

"Why is watching a fight so dangerous?!"

Many demons who have not yet become immortals wish they could grow an extra pair of wings so they can escape for their lives.

Old Phoenix, Sun and Moon Demon King, Yang Hong and others took action one after another to prevent the confrontation between Jiang Chuan and Sui Shi Immortal Emperor, spreading the influence to the group of monsters.

Jiang Chuan and Emperor Sui Shi were like two beams of immortal light, clashing with each other.

In just a few breaths, the two sides had exchanged five thousand moves.

Instant Divine Fist!

Jiang Chuan was the first to end the physical confrontation. He pinched his five fingers, and the power of time gushed out from between his fingers, trying to stop time.

But the Immortal Emperor Sui Shi was not afraid at all. He used the Time Spell to make the time that was stopped by Jiang Chuan flow again.

Eternal!

Jiang Chuan wanted to turn back time and return to the time before the Emperor Sui Shi cast the spell of time, but the surging power of time gushed out from the Emperor Sui Shi's immortal body, resisting Jiang Chuan's eternal magical power.

Prevent Jiang Chuan's eternal magical power from covering her and reversing the time for her.

"As expected of someone who will become an Immortal Emperor in the future. Even if he is only a half-step Immortal King, his strength is so terrifying!"

Jiang Chuan was feeling emotional. Through the previous confrontation, he could feel that Emperor Sui Shi was not inferior to him in terms of his comprehension of the avenue of time or his physical body.

"But I know more than just the way of time! The void! Chaos!"

Rumble!
It was like a hundred thousand thunders exploding in the sky. Under the gaze of everyone, the void was like a rolling wave, rippling.

The overwhelming power of the void roared like a surging ocean.

A string of divine waterfalls emerged from the endless and boundless river of time, converging into a river of time like a real dragon.

The chaotic air in the sky fell like a curtain, covering everything.

"The Way of Time! The Way of the Void! The Way of Chaos!"

Yang Hong was shocked: "He actually cultivated three great ways at the same time, and each of them reached the peak of the True Immortal!"

Old Phoenix's eyes are like bronze bells.

"Immortal Emperors like Sui Shi Immortal Emperor and Ru Yi Immortal Emperor only cultivate one Dao. Even Future Star King Buddha only cultivated the Dao of Time and Space when he was young. He actually cultivates all three Daos at once, even more than Future Star King Buddha, the Dao of Chaos!"

"Where on earth did this monster come from?!"

Lan Rui, the Five Seasons Demon Lord and many other beings in the eleventh realm were also shocked.

No one knows better than them the difficulty of practicing the great way!

Many true immortals and demon lords only practice one path and practice hard throughout their lives, but still find it difficult to break through the twelfth realm.

Under the gaze of everyone, the sea of ​​void, the long river of time and the chaotic energy in the sky all pressed down towards the Immortal Emperor Sui Shi.

The Immortal Emperor Sui Shi used all his strength to display the way of time and meet Jiang Chuan.

Boom! ! !
It was like the collapse of a galaxy, or like the wail of the universe before its fall.

The chaotic energy surged like a strong wind, making Jiang Chuan's black clothes rustle as he stood on the golden bridge.

Rabbit looked at the disappearing figure of the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor and said with emotion: "Even the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor was defeated so easily by you. From ancient times to the present, no one at this level can fight against you."

"One level higher is enough to make a world of difference. What if there are two more?"

Jiang Chuan looked normal, and he did not feel happy about defeating the Thirteenth Realm Immortal Emperor who was feared throughout history.

Then he took another step forward.

"Wow!!!"

Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar was heard.

hum!hum!hum!
The avenue of heaven and earth in Phoenix Nest seemed to be stirred, and brilliant divine light diffused from the sky.

The endless rhythm of Tao, like mist and rain, falls from the sky.

The many demon saints in the Phoenix Nest suddenly felt something.

"The avenue of the Phoenix Nest has been activated. Could it be that one of the ancestors has come out of seclusion?!"

"This is the cry of the Blue Phoenix Ancestor! Someone has reached the ninth level of the Phoenix Nine Levels!"

"The last person to reach the ninth level of the Phoenix Nine Gates was Immortal King Qian Liu 20,000 years ago! I want to see which genius has reached the ninth level this time."

"Let's go together. I'm also curious about which world has produced this new peerless genius."

One by one, the demon saints rose into the sky from the sacred mountain and blessed land of Phoenix Nest and arrived at the Nine Gates of Phoenix.

Under Jiang Chuan's gaze, the Dao rhyme in the sky descended and gradually transformed into a green phoenix.

Although the Blue Phoenix was merely transformed by the Dao rhyme, an aura of dignity, holiness, transcendence, supremacy, and grace flowed from its gigantic body, as if the true ancestor of the Blue Phoenix had descended, rather than just a Blue Phoenix transformed by the Dao rhyme.

hum!hum!hum!
A green light rose from the golden bridge and poured into the Green Phoenix.

The Green Phoenix suddenly came alive as if it had come to life.

"It turns out that the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix left behind a trace of divine consciousness."

Jiang Chuan immediately understood what the last test of the Phoenix Nine Levels was.

"Another cultivator has passed the first eight levels."

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Chuan, and a hint of surprise appeared in his blue eyes.

"Huh? Who would have thought that the one who passed the first eight levels this time would be the future descendant of the Constellation Honored King Buddha, and he even brought with him the divine bell he forged."

"This is really strange. How could the divine bell forged by the future Star King Buddha be on you?"

"Mr. Rabbit, I'm fine wherever I want to be. What's it to you?" the rabbit said disdainfully.

The many demon saints of the Qinghuang clan around glared at the rabbit, but they did not dare to really attack it. After all, the rabbit's body was personally cast by the Supreme Being of the Fourteenth Realm. If they really touched the rabbit, they would have a cause and effect with the future Star King Buddha.
Death may be the best outcome.

"Forget it, let Buddhism handle its own affairs."

The Blue Phoenix Ancestor looked down at Jiang Chuan and continued, "Boy, if you can withstand my ten attacks, you will have passed the Nine Stages of the Phoenix." "Senior Blue Phoenix, please make your move."

Jiang Chuan didn't care about what the Green Phoenix Ancestor said. If the battle between True Immortals was a tentative one, it would often take tens of thousands of moves to determine the winner, but the winner could also be determined in three to five moves or even one or two moves.

Ten moves may seem like few, but if the Blue Phoenix Ancestor uses all his strength, it is enough to determine the outcome, or even life or death!

"Wow!!!"

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix let out a long roar, and blue ripples, like a violent gale in the starry sky, swept towards Jiangchuan.

Among the many mythical beasts, the most famous sound ability is the dragon's roar.

Jiangchuan had seen more than once in ancient books the story of a true dragon's long roar shattering the bodies of true immortals and Buddhas in the same realm.

But now, the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix let out a long roar, and its power was no less than that of a dragon's roar!
Jiang Chuan felt that even the son of the Immortal King like Yang Hong, a peak True Immortal, would have his body shattered if he was enveloped by the sound waves.

"Great Annihilation Meteor Shower!"

Jiang Chuan formed seals with his hands, and the sky was filled with stars, like a sea of ​​clouds.

The long river of time and the sea of ​​void emerged again, combining with the stars in the sky to form a vast starry sky.

The big stars are rolling in the starry sky, the big sun is across the sky, the bright moon is hanging high in the sky, and the vast and mighty aura shakes the universe.

As Jiang Chuan's mind moved, the starry sky turned into meteors and flew directly towards the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix.

From a distance, it looks like a galaxy falling from the sky, majestic and vast.

The green sound waves were directly shattered, and then the remaining force of the galaxy enveloped the ancestor of the Green Phoenix.

"The Blue Phoenix tears the sky and splits the earth, destroying everything with its supreme divine claws!"

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix slashed down with one claw, and the blue claw marks were sharper than the sword of the sword immortal, as if it really wanted to tear everything apart and destroy everything.

Rumble!
The claw marks collided with the galaxy, and the starlight in the sky surged in all directions.

Chaos Fist!

Jiang Chuan clenched his five fingers into a fist, and surging chaotic light gushed out from between his fingers.

He swung out a punch, like a chaotic dragon, striking towards the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix.

Nine strikes of the Phoenix!

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix flapped his wings and slashed towards Jiangchuan.

boom!
When the fists and wings collided, Jiang Chuan only felt a huge force coming from the tiger's mouth.

His flesh and blood flew everywhere, and his entire arm almost exploded.

"Jiang Chuan, you can't compete with her with your physical body. She is the daughter of Phoenix Mother, and has the supreme bloodline of the Fourteenth Realm flowing in her veins. Even if her physical body is at the Eleventh Realm, it will not be inferior to many celestial demons at the Twelfth Realm." Rabbit said solemnly.

"The fourth move!"

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix spoke again, and his wings were like unsheathed divine swords, slashing towards Jiangchuan again.

Hands that pick stars and embrace the moon!
Jiang Chuan stretched out one hand, and the azure giant hand transformed from starlight covered the sky and grabbed the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix.

The moment the huge blue hand appeared, the power of time and space roared out.

In an instant, time and space stopped, and the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix was like a petrified stone, standing still in mid-air.

Just as the azure hand was about to fall, a strange light burst out from the body of the Blue Phoenix Ancestor.

The smell of decay and corruption permeated the air. Under the cover of the strange light, even the space and time of heaven and earth began to decay and decline, heading towards destruction.

The stillness of time and space was lifted, and the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix flapped his wings to meet Jiang Chuan's hand that was picking stars and embracing the moon.

"Dimensional universe!"

At this moment, Jiang Chuan used his magical powers again.

Ripples appeared in the void, like nine flower buds about to close, slowly closing and wrapping the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix inside.

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix, who had just split the hand of picking stars and embracing the moon, had no time to dodge and was directly wrapped by the flower bud.

Rumble!
The next moment, nine dimensional universes exploded.

The power of the void is brighter than the sun in the sky, emitting dazzling light.

"Wow!"

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix, with blood on his body, flapped his wings and rose from the surging power of the void.

"Five Star Five Direction Seal!"

Jiang Chuan took a step forward and came in front of the Blue Phoenix Ancestor.

He opened his right hand, and five divine lights of gold, blue, red, black and yellow shot up into the sky from his five fingers, evolving into five big stars representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The five big stars merged together and evolved into a huge divine seal.

The Dao rhymes of the five big stars in the divine seal merged together and evolved into stars, like a real vast starry sky.

The original, vast and boundless aura diffused, as if a starry sky had really descended here, turning into a divine seal and smashing towards the ancestor of the Blue Phoenix.

"Blue Phoenix destroys the universe, the supreme divine seal!"

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix shouted loudly, and formed a seal with his wings, ready to meet Jiang Chuan's attack.

Jiang Chuan attacked again, and the surging power of time and space diffused from his Dao Fruit.

The seal of demarcation!

In an instant, time and space fell silent again.

The ancestor of the Blue Phoenix, who had used his magical powers, was like a petrified being, standing in a daze in mid-air.

Before the Blue Phoenix Ancestor could break free from the boundary seal, the Five Star Five Direction Seal had already smashed down towards him.

Boom! ! !
It was like the wailing of ten thousand beasts, or the roar of three thousand gods. The huge sound shook the universe.

Thousands of divine lights shot up into the sky, illuminating all directions.

When the light faded, only Jiang Chuan's tall figure remained on the golden bridge.

The figure of the Blue Phoenix Ancestor has disappeared.

Lan Rui, the Five Seasons Demon Lord and many demon saints who flew out of the Phoenix Nest exclaimed in unison.

"I won! One hundred thousand years after the Immortal King Liexiao passed the Nine Phoenix Gates, someone else has passed the Nine Phoenix Gates!"

"At the same realm, he actually killed the Blue Phoenix Ancestor!"

"He killed the Blue Phoenix Ancestor in less than ten moves. Is this boy's talent even more terrifying than the bloodline of a supreme being in the Fourteenth Realm?!"

"One hundred thousand years later, someone else passed the Nine Gates of the Phoenix."

The old phoenix, its hair almost completely gone, flew in front of Jiang Chuan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan, which lineage of demon saint would you like to propose to?"

Jiang Chuan replied: "The Purple Phoenix lineage."

"Fortunately, it's not a rare type of phoenix like the Blood Phoenix or Crystal Phoenix, otherwise it would be quite a bit more troublesome."

The old phoenix looked at the two purple phoenixes that flew out of the phoenix nest and said, "Take fellow Daoist Jiang to the Purple Phoenix lineage."

There are too many descendants of the Phoenix Mother living in the Phoenix Nest. The most famous one is naturally the Fairy Phoenix, and there are also the Blue Phoenix, Red Phoenix, Golden Phoenix, Silver Phoenix, Purple Phoenix, Blood Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, Crystal Phoenix and dozens of other species, large and small.

"Fellow Daoist Jiangchuan, come with us."

One of the slightly larger purple phoenixes nodded slightly, then flapped its wings and flew towards the phoenix nest.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan hurriedly followed.

Soon, Jiangchuan saw a huge colorful portal.

The gate is ninety-nine thousand feet high, and above it are two large characters, "Phoenix Nest". These two characters are vigorous and powerful, as if two universes are hanging there, making anyone who comes here tremble with fear.

"The gates to the Demon Realm and the Buddha Realm are both ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet, but the Phoenix Nest is only ninety-nine thousand feet. It seems that the gap between the Phoenix Mother and the Demon Ancestor and the Infinite Honored King Buddha is very obvious."

While thinking, Jiang Chuan flew into the portal and entered the legendary Phoenix Nest.

The moment he entered the Phoenix Nest, Jiang Chuan's first feeling was.

Big!
Incredibly huge!
The sun hanging high in the sky seemed to Jiangchuan to be even bigger than several starry skies combined.

The rising mountains are more vast than the stars.

Ancient trees as big as the mortal kingdoms are rooted in the mountains and plains.

"After so many years, I can finally refine the innate spiritual energy again!"

The rabbit absorbed the spiritual energy from the phoenix's nest with a look of enjoyment on its face.

"Is this the legendary innate spiritual energy that evolved from the energy of chaos and contains the essence of the universe?"

Jiang Chuan absorbed the innate spiritual energy and injected it into the Dao Fruit. The Dao Fruit world merged with the innate spiritual energy and slowly began to grow.

"No wonder so many True Immortals and Immortal Kings eventually ascend to heaven."

Although the cultivators of the Tenth Realm have already comprehended the mysteries of the world and can transform spiritual energy into the power of the world.

But the world power converted from ordinary spiritual energy is too little.

For example, the many ruined worlds that Jiang Chuan saw in Shangcang Mausoleum were all caused by the bloody battles between Immortal Kings and True Immortals, which led to the shattering of the Dao Fruit World and left them with no time to absorb enough spiritual energy to repair their own Dao Fruit World.

"In the ancient times when the world was first created, legend has it that the land was filled with innate spiritual energy. In ancient times, innate spiritual energy was also abundant."

Rabbit spoke slowly: "But with the collapse of the Heavenly Palace, all the worlds were affected, and the innate spiritual energy gradually dissipated. In order to create innate spiritual energy, it is necessary to refine the chaotic energy."

“Only a supreme being at the Fourteenth Realm can refine the innate spiritual energy that supplies the cultivation of so many beings at the Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Realms in a single thought.”

"This is also the reason why only the immortal, Buddhist, and demonic paths have flourished. The remaining evil paths, witchcraft, and the like, without the presence of a supreme being of the Fourteenth Realm, are destined to be unable to compete with these three paths."

"Did you forget to mention the word 'Shinto'?" Patriarch Ziyun tilted his head and looked at the rabbit.

“The heavens and celestial realms that originally belonged to the Shinto sect have either collapsed or been occupied by the Taoist Taixu.”

Rabbit explained, "Besides, not everyone can practice Shinto. The descendants of the gods look down on those who practice the acquired Shinto, and the descendants of the Heavenly Court look down on the gods born after the Middle Ages. This way of life can only develop if another Heavenly Emperor appears!"

[Led by two Purple Phoenixes, you arrive at the Purple Phoenix lineage's Phoenix Nest.]

[Since no cultivator has been able to break through the nine gates of the Phoenix in a hundred thousand years, the Purple Phoenix lineage attaches great importance to your arrival.]

[Two demon saints of the twelfth realm are here to personally welcome you.]

After arriving at the Purple Phoenix lineage's territory, the two demon saints spoke first, asking which demon saint of the Purple Phoenix clan you wanted to marry.

　Sorry for the lack of a few hundred words.
