My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 227 The Fierce-Eyed Gourd Was Tricked Because Bai Was Too Fast
The sixth "Please follow the world" voice rang out.

As this voice appeared, nearly 90% of the "fake Banhu" that had previously escaped the disaster were directly and uncontrollably lifted into the sky and then returned to that eternally unmoving sky.

These "fake Banhu" have been completely erased from existence, just like the Banhu that disappeared in the previous five instances of the "Please follow the world" chant.

It was as if it had been absorbed very thoroughly.

On the earth, the cities that Banhu had transformed into no longer exist. Because the "false Banhu" that had created these cities were all uprooted by the sixth utterance of "Please follow the world."

Only in a few scattered places can some gourds still remain.

Most of these "fake Banhu" are newcomers, while a few have survived by using various methods to conceal themselves, thus surviving the call to "follow the world."

The latter's success was due to luck and the ability to conceal themselves, while the former's success was simply because they had just obtained the Banhu position. Their personal auras were still too obvious, unlike the ancient Banhu beings whose auras were very close to the Banhu Heavenly Dao.

In an unnamed place, some special plants and trees grow. Originally, these plants and trees could only be plants and trees. However, not long ago, a person whose cultivation was considered the strongest below the Heavenly Dao of Banhu chose to transform himself here. As a result, these special plants and trees were revived after receiving some essence and energy.

There was an unnamed flower that bloomed with vibrant colors, like the blazing sun, when suddenly it transformed into a three-legged golden crow.

The eyes of this three-legged golden crow were filled with confusion.

However, he had ultimately recovered to the level of a near-immortal, so he quickly regained his senses: "I am Taihao Tianzun of the Taiqing Daluo Heaven. In the past, during the calamity of the collapsing heavens, I was swallowed by the maw of an extraterrestrial demon along with the Taiqing Daluo Heaven, and from then on, my body and soul perished..."

After this Taiqing Daluotian Taihao Tianzun, the special plants and trees around them gradually returned to their original forms.

Most of them rediscovered themselves.

This can be considered a true resurrection.

Others, however, have lost all self-awareness due to the sheer length of time they have lived. Though they possess the vitality of life, they are ultimately just empty shells.

Countless years ago, the immortals who were close to the Dao and whose world was consumed by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu, after regaining their senses, discovered that there was something that resembled an eye, but was as large as a sun, that had always been hovering above their heads.

At this moment, this being, which resembled an eye and was as large as the sun, was constantly emitting an inexplicable aura that simultaneously inspired people to want to worship it.

boom!
These are the resurrected immortals who have come close to the Dao kneeling down.

Because they all sensed a similar aura of spiritual energy creation from that eye-like being, as large as the sun, these near-immortals couldn't help but believe that it was this eye-like being, as large as the sun, that had resurrected them.

Therefore, this act of kneeling is both an expression of gratitude for His kindness and an act of submission to His power!

However, this being, which resembled an eye and was as large as the sun, remained completely undisturbed from beginning to end.

This is because the power of the sixth utterance, "Please follow the world," has begun to lock onto this being, which resembles an eye and is as large as the sun.

After all, at this moment, this is a true Banhu!

"Bai Chijing, did you already foresee this?" At this moment, a woman's voice rang out from this being that resembled an eye as large as the sun.

The woman's voice was warm and magnetic, yet extremely beautiful and pleasing to the ear, as if it were the most exquisite in the world!
Even as this sound rang out, various Taoist principles permeated the air.

If there were any mortals at this moment who heard this voice, they would instantly reach the point where they only need the resources for ascending to a higher position and the honorable status of the Dao to become near-immortals!
This is the true power of Banhu!

However, at this moment, this voice, which should have been completely detached, sounded somewhat like it was being gritted with teeth.

And this extremely unique voice naturally belonged to the fierce-eyed Banhu!
After Bai Chijing used himself as a medium to give his cultivation and soul to the other party, he helped him complete the final step, and then the fierce-eyed gourd was completely awakened.

The true soul of Banhu thus completed its ultimate transformation, reaching a level comparable to the Heavenly Dao of Banhu at this moment!

The hidden Heavenly Dao of Banhu has now reached its peak due to the emergence of the Banhu Realm. The fact that this fierce-eyed Banhu can rival it demonstrates its terrifying power!
However, no matter how powerful the real Banhu was, he was somewhat helpless in the face of the voice that said, "Please follow the world."

Because it was not a living being that uttered the phrase "Please follow the world."

Rather, it is a set of rules that only a true Banhu can access, which can also be called the source of the Way of Heaven.

The four characters “Please follow the world” are both an invitation and a vow. This vow is something that any being who wants to become a true Banhu must sign.

However, such oaths are not without quotas.

There are only two in total.

One of them had already been taken by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu, and the second one was taken by the fierce-eyed Banhu.

The lonely yang does not grow, the lonely yin does not grow.

The former is Yang, the latter is Yin. Therefore, Bai Chijing's previous guess was actually wrong. He believed that he could not become the real Banhu, could not take that final step, because the Heavenly Dao of Banhu and the Fierce-Eyed Banhu would not allow it.

But in reality, he could not become a true Banhu simply because all the spots had already been taken.

He wants to become the true Banhu, provided that the Banhu Heavenly Dao relinquishes the oath-agreement slot that it has taken.

Yes, it can only be the Heavenly Way of Banhu.

The one spot in the oath agreement made by the fierce-eyed gourd can only be obtained by a woman.

Therefore, this path of cultivation had actually become a dead end long ago! Two people who had taken up the spots but were unwilling to keep their vows blocked the way forward!
If one chooses to abide by the vow of "please follow the world," then one will be like Bai Chijing at this moment, leaving not even the slightest trace of one's existence.

Anyone who knew him would lose all memories related to Bai Chijing.

Only the strongest among them can barely leave an impression.

But that's about it.

Therefore, neither the Heavenly Dao of Banhu nor the fierce-eyed Banhu were willing.

Banhu Tiandao has always defined Xiongyan Banhu as a provocateur, not an ally, simply because Banhu Tiandao believes that Xiongyan Banhu will choose to abide by the oath, which would force him to make the same choice.

After all, the birth of the fierce-eyed gourd was itself a path of self-sacrifice.

The sacrifice of the person who forged the first, incomplete form of the Ferocious Eye, was the reason why the Ferocious Eye was passed down through generations. And the sacrifices of subsequent generations of wielders of the Ferocious Eye brought its power ever closer to that of the true Ferocious Eye!
However, once this stage is reached, it seems that the holder of the malevolent eye can no longer be found, generation after generation.

Each generation either chose to give up or regretted it in the end.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao of Banhu stopped paying attention to the Evil Eye. However, in reality, it was entirely because the Evil Eye was constantly influencing the person who possessed it.

The essence of this fierce gaze is like the Heavenly Dao of Banhu.

Therefore, after the fierce-eyed gourd was born, it felt no gratitude whatsoever towards Bai Chijing.

Instead, they hated him to the point of grinding their teeth!
The reason why Bai Chijing was not affected was not because Bai Chijing was special and immune to its influence, but simply because Bai Chijing acted too quickly after making her choice.

Unlike other holders of the Fierce Eye, Bai Chijing did not spend many years with the people he cared about before taking action to fulfill his choice.

There was no preparation made for the other living beings in this world before taking action to make a choice.

All he did was help a little girl break free from the status of Banhu, and then leave his own precious treasure to her for protection.

Although Bai Chijing's Dao could not remain after he completed the Fierce Eye, this little girl had cultivated the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," so she could still retain 20-30% of the power of the Primordial Seal.

As is widely known, the "Constant Treasure" can often represent the entirety of a near-immortal.

Therefore, even if only 20% or 30% of the Primordial Seal remains, it is still a terrifying weapon capable of easily suppressing those nearing the Dao! It can even effortlessly withstand a "fake Banhu" (a type of demon).

Afterwards, Bai Chijing helped this little girl kill some enemies, but no matter what, it didn't take too long. So much so that the fierce-eyed soul of Banhu hadn't even reacted before he found that he had completed the ultimate transformation and, with "Please follow the world" as his proof, became the real Banhu!

All I can say is that a certain man surnamed Bai is as fast as ever.

In short, it was because Bai Chijing was too fast that, at this moment, Xiong Yan Banhu was facing the same predicament as Banhu Tiandao.

But without a doubt, Banhu Tiandao's situation is much better than that of the fierce-eyed Banhu.

The Banhu Heavenly Dao possesses the Banhu Realm, and has a large number of "fake Banhu" to consume the invitation power of "Please Follow the World," which can even deceive the source of "Please Follow the World" for a period of time.

Each time "Please follow the world" descends, the Heavenly Dao of Banhu only needs to conceal itself.

But the fierce-eyed gourd was no match for her; having nothing, she could only rely on herself to withstand the "Please follow the world" force. However, the power of "Please follow the world" often originated from within herself.

In other words, for the fierce-eyed Banhu to resist "Please Follow the World," she must resist herself at her peak.

Because she is at her peak right now!
The same applies to the Heavenly Dao of the Banhu.

At that moment, the sky, which remained unchanged and embodied the true meaning of change, spoke once again.

"Please follow the world!"

As this voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion yet brimming with feeling, rang out, the world seemed to reach a certain extreme, and unprecedented changes began to occur.
