I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 428: The long-forgotten event

"Moo!!!"

The Kuiniu Sky Demon let out a long roar, and billions of thunders appeared out of thin air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The colorful thunder, combined with the black unicorn's flames, surged towards Jiangchuan like an overwhelming force.

Jiang Chuan pinched his five fingers, and five divine lights of gold, green, red, black and yellow shot up into the sky from between his five fingers and transformed into five big stars representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

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

As Jiang Chuan clenched his fist, a primitive, vast, and boundless aura spread, as if a starry sky had really descended here.

"Five Star Five Direction Seal!"

Jiang Chuan threw a punch, and the fist mark turned into a five-colored fairy light, which directly penetrated the black flames and hit the body of the black unicorn.

Boom!

The huge body of the black unicorn, which looked like half of the starry sky, exploded directly, and then Jiangchuan's fist hit Kuiniu with the remaining force.

Kuiniu Heavenly Demon felt a chill down his spine and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom!

Seeing the huge body of Kuiniu Heavenly Demon explode, the only remaining Tengshe Heavenly Demon turned around and ran away without looking back. But how could a Heavenly Demon at the third level of the Twelve Realms escape?
clang!
The Great Sun Divine Bell transformed into a golden stream of light that fell from the sky and directly hit the Teng Snake Sky Demon.

bump!
The huge head of the Tengshe Sky Demon exploded directly, and the earth-yellow blood flowed out like an ocean, staining the long river of time.

"Run! Run!"

The soul of the Teng Snake Sky Demon entered the Dao Fruit and shouted, calling the souls of the Black Qilin and Kuiniu to escape.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The water of the long river of time rolled back and directly wrapped and suppressed the Taoist fruit of the three-headed celestial demon.

"In the long river of time, practicing the way of time does have advantages. I feel that your strength is close to that of a peak Immortal King." Rabbit sighed as he looked at the three Heavenly Demon Dao Fruits and Yuanshen suppressed by Jiang Chuan.

"I'm not just using the power of the River of Time."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, the brilliant divine light blooming from the Sky Dao Tree in the Dao Fruit gradually dimmed.

In the previous battle, in addition to activating his own Dao Fruit, he also used all his strength to activate the Sky Dao Tree.

As the original body of the Great Emperor Qiongcang, one of the Five Emperors, he has infinite power. Combined with Jiang Chuan's Dao Fruit, the power of time and space he absorbs is half a level higher than that of a peak cultivator in the twelfth realm.

This resulted in Jiang Chuan suppressing the four celestial demons with overwhelming force.

"However, the being who pretended to be the future Star King Buddha in our dream reacted quickly. As soon as we emerged from the Green Emperor Palace, he immediately sent four celestial demons to block our way."

Rabbit's face was gloomy. "Could it be that I guessed wrong from the beginning? The one who pretended to be the Future Star King Buddha and sent Taishan a dream was really the Green Emperor?"

"I think it's more likely that it's the Buddha Tathagata than the Green Emperor." The Purple Cloud Patriarch shook his tail.

"It shouldn't be the Tathagata King Buddha."

Jiang Chuan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. In the simulation, he was in the Buddhist world. If it was really the Buddha Tathagata who suppressed the Future Star King Buddha, why didn't he attack him who was carrying the bowstring of the Bitter Sea Bow and the Arrow of the Other Shore?

Since the Buddhist world did not suppress him, why would they stop him from returning to the past?

Patriarch Ziyun licked his paws and said, "If it's not Duobao Tathagata, then it must be the Azure Emperor. Otherwise, there can't be a third Fourteenth Realm being laying out this plan, right?"

"I hope not, but who knows?"

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and took the body of the three-headed demon, then put it into the Great Sun God Bell to suppress it.

"Whether there is one or not, our top priority is to make choices and get through the current situation."

Rabbit said worriedly, "This time, in order to prevent us from returning to the past, they directly brought four celestial demons to block our way. Next time, I'm afraid we will encounter a true Thirteenth Realm being!"

"The thirteen realms of existence have transcended time and space, and too few of them are lost in the long river of time. If that existence sends out the thirteen realms of existence on its side, we can easily find out their identities, and there is no need for them to hide." Jiang Chuan expressed his opinion.

"But after all, there are thirteen realms that can be exploited."

"So we have to become stronger now so that we can go back more than a thousand years."

Jiangchuan caught the Taoist fruits of Qilin, Kuiniu and Tengshe, and flew into the Great Sun God Bell with Ziyun Patriarch, Rabbit and Huangyun.

"The Sky Dao Tree!"

Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice, and a 20-foot-4-inch Sky Dao Tree flew out from his Dao Fruit.

A supreme, sacred and majestic aura emanated from the Dao Tree in the sky, as if it were an endless sky descending from the sky, making people tremble with fear.

The Black Qilin, Kuiniu and Teng Snake spirits suppressed by Jiang Chuan sensed the aura of the Qiong Cang Dao Tree and cried out in surprise.

"The Qiong Cang Dao Tree, the true form of the Qiong Cang Emperor, one of the legendary Five Emperors!"

"You actually have the Sky Dao Tree!"

"How could such a treasure be in your hands?!"

hum!hum!hum!
The Sky Dao Tree shone brightly, and its three roots were like divine spears, piercing directly into the Dao fruits of the three twelfth-level celestial demons.

The Dao principles that constructed the Dao fruits of the three Heavenly Demons were continuously absorbed by the Sky Dao Tree, and the Dao fruits of the three Heavenly Demons began to shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Twenty feet and five inches!
Twenty feet six inches!
Twenty feet seven inches!
Looking at the Qiong Cang Dao Tree that was growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and pointed.

The huge bodies of the Black Qilin, Kuiniu and Teng Snake shattered directly and turned into blood and essence all over the sky, pouring down towards Jiangchuan, like three kinds of brilliant fairy fire, wrapping Jiangchuan's body.

A moment later, the Dao Fruit of the weakest Teng Snake Sky Demon was the first to disintegrate, and the world fragments equivalent to three middle thousand worlds fell from the sky and landed in the Great Sun Divine Bell.

Then the Dao Fruit of Kuiniu Heavenly Demon disintegrated, and the Dao Fruit fragments of the four middle thousand worlds fell into the Great Sun God Bell again like a meteor shower.

When the last strands of the Black Kirin Heavenly Demon were absorbed by the Sky Dao Tree, the Sky Dao Tree had already grown to twenty-seven feet and one inch!
"Come!"

Looking at the falling world fragments equivalent to seven middle thousand worlds, Jiang Chuan shouted loudly, and a dark Dao Fruit that looked like the embryonic form of the universe appeared above his head.

Pieces of the world's fragments, like arrows shot from a bow, flew into Jiangchuan's Dao Fruit.

hum!hum!hum!
The Sky Dao Tree shone brightly, and the power of the Great Dao in the sky descended, helping Jiang Chuan and Rabbit to refine the fragments of the world.

Qingyuan Realm, a paradise beyond the world.

An Yunyi brought a young man who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a red robe and with a promising future, to the paradise.

"Yang Han, I heard that Zhuxian Island has sent Su Yuan to the secluded heaven to practice. Jiangchuan's eldest disciple must be you!"

"Elder An, this is your grudge with that Sword Fairy. There's no need to make things difficult for me."

Yang Han looked helpless: "I don't know how many years it will take me to go out and learn martial arts. I have already planned to go to Elder Sun to propose marriage to my junior sister. What if I wait until I return and my junior sister is already married?"

Snapped!
An Yunyi slapped Yang Han on the back of the head, almost knocking him off the cloud.

"Sun Zhiyuan isn't even qualified to guide Jiang Chuan. If he knew you were Jiang Chuan's disciple, he would marry as many of his daughters as you have."

"That's not necessary. I only want my junior sister."

Yang Han spoke subconsciously, then looked surprised.

"Elder Sun is already a ninth-level cultivator, and the Demon Lord believes he has the potential to break through to the tenth level. Even he is unworthy of leading the way. Could it be that my master is a true immortal?"

"He was a true immortal before, but who knows now?"

As An Yunyi spoke, he brought Yang Han to the top of Wangyu Mountain.

Before entering the palace, An Yunyi saw a woman wearing a moon-white long dress and blue hair hanging down to her waist. She looked like a goddess walking out of a scroll, sacred and flawless.

An Yunyi immediately became alert and asked, "Who are you? What's your relationship with Jiang Chuan?"

"My name is Jiang Yingyue, and I'm Jiang Chuan's senior sister. Who are you?"

Southern Region, Supreme Demon Sect, Supreme Peak.

Leng Yunsong walked up to the Eternal Demon Lord with the news he had just received from Wanbao Pavilion.

"Demon Lord, Wanbao Pavilion sent a message about Jiangchuan."

"What news?" asked the Ancient Demon Lord.

"Jiang Chuan fought one against three in the outer battlefield, defeating and suppressing the three Twelfth Realm Demon Kings: the White-haired Demon King, the Desolate Halberd Demon King, and the Giant Spirit Demon King!" Leng Yunsong tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart, but his voice was still filled with shock and disbelief. "He has grown so quickly to the point of suppressing three Twelfth Realm Demon Kings!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Ancient Demon Lord: "Who on earth cultivated a chess piece like Jiang Chuan? I am really getting more and more curious now."

"Demon Lord, isn't Jiang Chuan the reincarnation of a powerful being?" Leng Yunsong asked curiously.

"Any reincarnation of a powerful being will be affected by the power of reincarnation, and their cultivation speed will definitely not be as fast as Jiang Chuan's."

The Ancient Demon Lord slowly stood up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the endless void and saw the Bodhi Temple.

"And you greatly underestimate the means of some powerful beings. To the truly powerful, time and space are but candles that can be ignited and extinguished at will."

Time flows.

The crimson river boat, like a sleeping god, floats quietly on the long river of time.

clang!
A melodious bell sound came from the Great Sun God Bell.

The Great Sun Divine Bell floating on the boat on the long river bursts out with incomparable divine light, like a divine sun, illuminating all directions.

Jiang Chuan, dressed in black and with an upright figure, flew out of the Great Sun God Bell and landed on the Changhe Boat.

"After refining so many Heavenly Demon Dao Fruits, our strength has greatly increased this time. I think we should be able to fight against those below the third level of the Thirteenth Realm!" The rabbit was full of confidence.

After refining two Twelve Heavenly Demon Dao Fruits, the inner world of the Great Sun God Bell has expanded to a vast world.

Jiang Chuan even refined seven middle thousand worlds, allowing his own Dao Fruit World to reach one big thousand world and two middle thousand worlds.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Ancestor Ziyun urged. He couldn't wait to find the murderer who killed Taishan.

"Don't rush."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyes. In his perception, the endless calamity energy seemed to turn into thunder and fall towards him at any time.

Although he tried his best to suppress his realm, after refining seven middle thousand worlds, his own realm still broke through to the eighth level of the tenth realm.

As the saying goes, if God wants us to die, who can escape death?
As the aura of disaster spread, he felt that his journey would definitely not be peaceful.

"The River of Time is still too dangerous after all. I plan to use the power given to me by the Green Emperor to explore the way forward first, and then we will set off again."

Rabbit frowned slightly: "It's too dangerous! It's still unclear whether the Green Emperor is a friend or foe."

Jiang Chuan's eyes grew deep. "If the Green Emperor wanted to kill me, why did he train me? Give me top-level elixirs and the Sky Dao Tree? And while I was in seclusion, I thought of something I had forgotten for a long time."

Patriarch Ziyun asked, "What's the matter?"

"The power that the Green Emperor gave me was on the third day after I came to the Qingyuan Realm." Jiang Chuan's thoughts kept churning.

If it was the Green Emperor who helped him travel through time, then why didn't the Green Emperor give him a love simulator on the first day of his travel?

But wait until the third day?

The only possibility is that the being who helped him travel through time and come to the Qingyuan Realm was not the Qing Emperor!
"If it's really as I thought, then let me use the power of the Green Emperor to see who the second Fourteenth Realm Supreme Being behind me is!"

[Ding! Simulation begins. Now randomly matching the host with a dating simulation partner.]

[Ding! Match successful.]

[The romantic partner for this simulated match is Fairy Holly, the second disciple of the Taichi Immortal King.]

"Disciple of the Taichi Immortal King? Interesting. It's a pity that I have to go back to the past, otherwise I would be interested in ascending to the immortal realm and seeing the Nine Heavens that once belonged to the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Chuan thought about it while urging the Changhe Boat.

The Changhe Boat transformed into a red fairy light, broke through the long river of time, and sailed towards the past.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

The crystal clear water in the long river of time keeps rushing. As the boat goes upstream, many scenes appear in Jiangchuan's eyes.

There are many scenes, including him slashing Su Hanguang with his sword, defeating Mu Bingyun with his sword, Elder Jingzhen sneaking into Xu Ming Immortal Sect, and Abbot Kong Ming meeting Mei Suqiong under the moon.

Boom! ! !
A huge sound that shook the nine heavens sounded out of nowhere in the long river of time.

Jiangchuan stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the boat on the long river, looking into the endless years.

As he watched, a broken corpse floated towards him from eons ago.

It seems slow, but it is actually extremely fast, a thousand times faster than thunder.

In just a few breaths, it had floated in front of Jiang Chuan.

The body was broken, one-third of the upper body was missing, and the rest of the body was covered with various scars.

Feeling the familiar aura, Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "You've even found the body of the Sky-Snatching Divine Lord. I've also learned the Sky-Snatching Divine Lord's methods. Let's bury him today."

"Roar!!!"

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, an earth-shaking roar rang out.

A huge blue dragon with its scales torn and only half of its head left also floated down from the river of time.

Canglong's body was broken, with only white bones left in many places, but the terrifying power of the demon still shocked the world, making everyone who saw his corpse feel fear.

"There aren't many people in the Canglong clan who are at the thirteenth level. Could this be the corpse of Canghuan, the former strongest person in the Qingyuan Realm, who was at the thirteenth level?" Rabbit expressed his guess.

"The Sky-Snatching God and Cang Huan's corpse!"

The hair on the body of Ziyun Patriarch exploded directly: "Jiangchuan, can you fight against the rabbit? If not, let's run!"

"Whether you can win or not, you won't know until you fight."

[Facing the corpses of the Sky-Snatching God and Cang Huan, you attack directly.]

[On the corpses of Sky-Swallowing God and Cang Huan, only the resentment they felt before their death remained. Controlled by this resentment, their bodies would slaughter all living creatures.]

You activated the Great Sun Divine Bell and engaged in a fierce battle with Sky-Sweeping Divine Lord and Cang Huan, but soon fell into a disadvantageous position.

[In their prime, Sky-Sweeping Divine Lord and Cang Huan each possessed strength exceeding the sixth level of the Thirteen Realms.]

[Even with only a broken body left, his strength far surpasses that of beings at the first or second level of the Thirteenth Realm.]

[Faced with such an existence, you are naturally no match. ]

[You attack with all your might, performing the Ten Thousand Stars Pilgrimage, capturing thousands of stars and smashing them directly onto the corpses of Sky-Snatching Divine Master and Cang Huan.]

[Blasting the two corpses apart, you steer the Changhe Boat, attempting to break through the obstruction of the Sky-Snatching Divine Lord and the Canghuan corpses.]

[But you still underestimated the determination of that unknown being to intercept you.]

[Just as you broke through the obstruction of the Sky-Snatching God and the corpse of Cang Huan, another corpse of the Thirteenth Realm came towards you.]

[You are also familiar with this corpse, because it is the corpse of the Immortal Emperor Taxu! ]

[The corpse of the Immortal Emperor Taxu attacks you, directly using the Way of the Void to evolve a different dimension to trap you.]

[The Sky-Snatching God and the corpse of Cang Huan are coming towards you again. Just when you are ready to die this time.]

[Layer upon layer of alternate dimensions, carrying you, Rabbit, Purple Cloud Patriarch, and Phoenix Cloud, enveloped by the power of the void, flying upstream in the long river of time.]

[Finally, after passing through the black stone tablet inscribed with the nine characters: "Demon Emperor Falls," "Time Sets in Place," and "The End of the Middle Ages," it exploded.]

The long river boat you were riding on was overturned, and you fell out of the long river of time.

After Jiang Chuan stabilized his body, he raised his hands to catch a cat, a rabbit and a bird falling from the sky.

"What exactly is going on?"

Ancestor Ziyun turned over, jumped onto Jiangchuan's shoulders, and asked, "Didn't those corpses want to kill us? Why did they send us to the Middle Ages?"

"How can a supreme being in the Fourteenth Realm be so fickle? One moment he wants to kill you, and the next moment he doesn't want to kill you?" The rabbit also looked confused.

“You’ll have to ask Him about that.”

Jiangchuan looked around and found himself in the midst of a continuous green hills.

"He went to so much trouble to send us to the Middle Ages, so there must be a purpose. If we take a look around, perhaps we'll understand His purpose, or what He wants us to know."
