Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 410 A Century Later

After seeing He Liansheng off, Daojun went straight to the gate of the great array leading to the world of Liaozhai.

With a slight movement of his hand, Daojun produced a palm-sized black and white miniature longsword, which he casually tossed into the vortex portal before him.

With a flash of black and white light, the greatsword disappeared into the portal and vanished in an instant. In the Daoist Lord's eyes, the longsword crossed the passage before him and returned to the world of Liaozhai half an hour later, falling into the deepest part of Baiyujing, the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

He had already refined the embryo anew using his own treasure-refining techniques and left a backup plan in the longsword. All that remained was for his true spirit to infuse it with the power of the Heavenly Dao.

"Soon, in another hundred years, my true spirit will have achieved enlightenment and fully comprehended the Heavenly Dao of this world. At that time, I will be reincarnated here into other worlds among the chaotic realms."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Daojun's eyes as he turned and slowly left.

The path of cultivation cannot rely solely on his physical body. He also possesses immeasurable merits from heaven and earth. If he perseveres in comprehending the Primordial Dao Fruit, he will make considerable progress.

Although he is now carefree in the Three Realms and has friends and elders all over the Three Realms, if he does not achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit, then all of this is nothing but illusion and fleeting.

Even with the protection of the Jade Emperor or the Supreme Dao Ancestor, what difference does it make? The lifespan of a Taiyi True Immortal is tens of thousands of years. If one cannot cultivate to the Dao Fruit and achieve the position of Daluo, one will eventually reach the end of one's life.

Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace in the world of Liaozhai.

As a beam of black and white light descended from the sky and flew into the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, the two immortals who had been watching this place also appeared outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

On the white jade bridge outside the main hall, a blazing golden light and a cool silver moonlight descended rapidly, revealing two figures: one in a crimson-gold robe and the other in a silver moon robe.

These two are none other than Yan Chixia, the Sun Star Lord, and Xiahou Jianke, the Moon Star Lord.

Yan Chixia frowned slightly as he looked at the grand hall before him, but relaxed after a moment and nodded slightly.

"It seems that He Liansheng, who left with the Heavenly Emperor Sword, has returned it to the Three Realms."

Yan Chixia looked up at the sky, a longing gleaming in his fiery red eyes.

As the Sun Star Lord, his cultivation of the Great Dao of the Sun progressed rapidly, but as he progressed, he began to feel the difficulty of cultivation. It is likely that within a few hundred years, his cultivation will completely stagnate, and he will be unable to advance any further.

If he could inherit Guangyi's position as Heavenly Emperor, he would no longer need to worry about these things, but one day he would have to go and see the distant Three Realms.

Go and see how vast the Three Realms are, see the countless gods and Buddhas, and pay homage to the Three Pure Ones.

If he hadn't met Guangyi, he would have spent his life in seclusion. But now that he knew there were countless worlds beyond the heavens, and that they could travel to the Three Realms, how could he stop climbing forward?

Following Yan Chixia's gaze, the swordsman Xiahou looked up and saw the azure sky above. He smiled and said:

"You should stop thinking about it for now. Go and inherit your position as Heavenly Emperor. As for the Three Realms, I'll go and scout out the way for you first."

Yan Chixia glanced at the person beside him with annoyance, then turned and left.

He wasn't actually that familiar with Xiahou the Swordsman when he was still alive; it was mainly because this guy kept pestering him to duel.

However, over the years, the two of them had often been together and were both members of Baiyujing, so they had become thoroughly familiar with each other. His main purpose in coming here was to ascertain whether the Heavenly Emperor Guangyi Daoist was alright. Now that he knew Guangyi was fine, he naturally wanted to return to the palace to cultivate.

In recent years, new cultivators have been attaining immortality one after another, most of whom achieved immortality through merit. He still needs to meet with and deal with these immortals.

It can be said that he is the busiest person in Baiyujing right now. Although he is only a quasi-Heavenly Emperor, he is doing all the work of a Heavenly Emperor!

In addition, he also has matters to attend to at the Sun Palace, leaving him with even less time for cultivation.

Perhaps in a few years, when there are more gods in heaven, he won't need to be as busy as he is today.
When Xiahou Jianke saw Yan Chixia turn and leave without paying attention to him, he simply smiled indifferently.

If this guy were like he always is, he would definitely make fun of me a bit.

But now that all the affairs of Baiyujing have fallen on his shoulders, he doesn't have much energy left to argue with him anymore.
In this way, he finally got his revenge!
With a smile on his face, Xiahou the swordsman left in the exact opposite direction from Yan Chixia, and soon disappeared from sight. Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, silence returned once more.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Niu Yi, who was sitting on the Heavenly Emperor's throne and comprehending the Dao, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Sword in front of him, which was shimmering with a faint light.

Niu Yi pointed his finger at the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and the power of the Heavenly Dao was quickly drawn in, continuously pouring into the black and white sword embryo before him.

"buzz"

As the Heavenly Emperor Sword emitted a buzzing sound, an aura containing the boundless power of the Heavenly Dao slowly brewed within it, waiting for the moment it would take root and sprout.

Seeing this, Niu Yi nodded slightly, then closed his eyes again, immersing himself in the Dao of Heaven.

Before we knew it, a century had passed in the blink of an eye.

On Mount Jindu, as a torrential rain fell from the sky fifty years ago, a figure in azure blue awoke from the mountaintop, stretching out in the clouds. This figure was none other than Ao Xuan, who had been in seclusion for a long time and had once again taken another step towards the Dao Fruit Realm on the Water Path.

Although Ao Xuan was still incredibly naive at this time, and there was still a long way to go before he could reach the Dao Fruit of Water Path, at least for Ao Xuan at this moment, the path to the Dao Fruit of Water Path was no longer as elusive as it had been before.

As for Daojun, the others from Jindu Mountain, and Daojun Mountain's many subordinates, there were not many changes. Daojun Mountain was still peaceful and prosperous, but Daojun had once again gone into seclusion, cultivating with the help of Duobao River and the merits of the boundless world.

The world of Liaozhai, the Jade Palace in the heavens.

At this moment, the many immortals in Baiyujing who were doing their own things suddenly felt a fluctuation from the Heavenly Dao, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

As the fluctuations from the Heavenly Dao returned, many immortals in the Jade Capital rode the clouds and mist, each displaying their supernatural powers, and gathered towards the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of ten thousand immortals paying homage.

As numerous deities appeared outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, they discussed the matter through telepathic communication.

"The two lords, the Sun Star Lord and the Moon Star Lord, have already arrived. Indeed, today is the day the Heavenly Emperor emerges from seclusion."

"Indeed, the Wenqu Star and the Wuqu Star who are usually in the mortal realm have also come together. The Heavenly Emperor's attendant who was in seclusion earlier is also waiting here."
