Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 511 The Strength of Zhenhai, Returning to Zhongtian Pass
Li Wushou, the instigator, was not concerned about this.

He never doubted the allure of becoming a Venerable One for the masses.

In a sense, attaining enlightenment is the ultimate dream of many practitioners.

Now that such an opportunity is presented to us, who could refuse it?

Therefore, even as the information exploded across the five domains, he was still carefully scrutinizing the messages from various sources, and fortunately, he did not discover anything unusual.

However, he unexpectedly learned the details of the meeting between Wu Zhuangyuan, Yanwu, and Xuanhuang that day.

On that day, Dao Yan, along with the flag bearers and Zi Zhen and others, rushed back to the Central Region, covered in dust.

Sensing the changes in the world, the group headed straight for the mountain range where the two domains met.

When they arrived, the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple had already gathered there, watching the twisted Central Domain with wary expressions.

The two were clearly wary and hesitant about having all their imprints on the world erased.

Upon seeing Dao Yan and the others escape back, they hurriedly inquired about the details.

Despite feeling heartbroken and angry about the deaths of Huang Shigong and the Xuanhuang Temple members, the abbot of Xuanhuang Temple was actually quite alright at heart.

Similar to the Sparrow Lord, if he wished, he could also cultivate the Xuanhuang Dao Fruit and train a person in charge who had mastered the Xuanhuang Dao Rhyme.

Although he may not be as strong as Huang Shigong, he is enough to uphold the prestige of the Xuanhuang Territory.

He also wanted to know what had happened at the Heavenly Gate of the Sealed Spirit Path.

Dao Yan and the flag bearer then began to explain in detail.

The two heard the alternating sounds of blood and gore and the cleansing of the Great Dao, and they also heard about the previous spirit-sealing altar. They had already vaguely guessed the whole story.

The Sparrow Lord sacrificed everything he had to trap them, thus fulfilling Zhu Liuli's wish and then plotting to seize Zhu Liuli's Dao Fruit.

But in the end, all their efforts were in vain, and everything benefited Bulaoshan.

The two were furious and said that Mahjong Master was short-sighted!
It ruined the promising situation in the three regions.

However, the two were even more wary of Feng Lingdao and dared not enter easily, for fear of falling into the trap of the Immortal Mountain.

After all, the two of them also lost their Myriad Fire Mirror and Xuanhuang Platform inside. Who knows if the Immortal Mountain can use this to deduce the two of them's Holy Domain Anchor Point?
They then returned to the Holy Domain with their respective forces, intending to contact the Great Venerable Zhenhai and then proceed with their plans gradually.

Just then, the Great Lord of Zhenhai suddenly descended upon Yanwu City.

Xuanhuang and Yanwu hurriedly stepped out of the sacred domain to greet them.

After a meeting and discussion, the two learned that the Great Venerable Zhenhai had finally arrived and thwarted the conspiracy of the Immortal Mountain, but the Sparrow Venerable had indeed died.

The two Venerables were about to set off immediately, crossing the "Heavenly Flame" and "Thick Earth" mountain ranges to reclaim the Central Domain.

Dao Yan and the others were summoned at this moment.

But before anyone could act, the Great Venerable Zhenhai became displeased, much to the bewilderment of the two Venerables.

Zhenhai's reasoning was that a great change was imminent, and the Holy Domain's anchor to the world was both a benefit and a calamity. Since the world had already been lost, further refinement would likely be too late.

The remaining space is enough to anchor the two of them in their sacred realm!

Moreover, this time the Immortal Mountain succeeded and sacrificed the "Heaven and Earth Immortal", which accelerated the great changes in the world. Now, instead of spending time refining the world, it would be better to cultivate a new Venerable.

Even if both are respected, it's not a good thing. That's the logic, but this world doesn't belong to you. It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the same boat.
The two sides disagreed and immediately began arguing.

Yanwu then proposed that since the three regions were to form an alliance to jointly resist the great calamity of heaven and earth, then everything should be based on strength.

If Zhenhai Dazun wants to persuade them, he should subdue them by beating them.

In their early years, when they first became Venerables, they had a few exchanges with Zhenhai. At that time, they only felt that Zhenhai was extremely strong, but they thought it was because Zhenhai had achieved enlightenment earlier than them.

Subsequently, the two established their Holy Domains and considered themselves leaders of the Three Domains, naturally seeking an opportunity to seize control of the Three Domains.

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan and the others were quite surprised.

Is a battle between Venerables about to take place?

They tried to stop him, but saw that the Great Lord Zhenhai had already turned around and disappeared into the hall with a calm expression.

Then, a voice echoed across the sky above Yanwu City:
"Come!"

The Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple followed closely behind and disappeared from the main hall.

Dao Yan and the others were extremely anxious, gazing at the void behind the sky with trepidation. Just then, they saw that the Great Venerable Zhenhai had returned to the main hall, standing with his hands behind his back, and said:
"Since Yanwu and Xuanhuang Shuangzun have no objection to my proposal, then let's proceed as previously suggested!" After saying that, he disappeared from the main hall.

"So, we've reached a consensus?"

Dao Yan and the others were speechless for a moment, then looked blankly at the sky. They waited and waited, but Yanwu Grandmaster and Xuanhuang Temple Master did not appear.

None of them were fools; how could they not know that the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple had been defeated?
Rather, they will likely suffer a crushing defeat!
Was there only three breaths between when he disappeared from the main hall and when the Great Lord of Zhenhai reappeared?

I thought it would be an earth-shattering battle between Venerables, but it turned out to be just like this.

This gave Dao Yan and the others a strange, unsettling feeling.

They knew that Zhenhai Dazun was powerful, but was this too powerful?
Since that meeting, Grand Venerable Yanwu and Abbot Xuanhuang, whether due to injury or embarrassment, went into seclusion in the Holy Domain and have not shown their faces since.

The powerful figures under Dao Yan and the other two Venerables who knew about this matter were also somewhat shocked.

Under the guidance of Dao Yan and the flag bearers, they all kept their mouths shut, fearing that they might offend the two Venerable Ones.

This is also why the people of the Central Region, even though they knew about the sealing of the spirit path, did not publicize it in advance and watched as the talisman masters fueled the flames.

When Li Wushou heard Daoyan recount the story, he was also somewhat astonished and shocked.

In the blink of an eye, the two venerable ones were suppressed?
Is this the source of the Holy Domain's confidence in not needing to be anchored to a major domain?

No wonder Mount Bulao is so fond of Scholar Wu, and the old beggar often says that Scholar Wu is different.

They are indeed very strong, so strong that it's enviable!

This made Li Wushou begin to reflect on his own path.

He already looked down on the Holy Domain's method of anchoring heaven and earth, and now he looked down on it even more.

After a while, Li Wushou sent Dao Yan and the others back to their senses.

Standing in the void, Li Wushou surveyed his surroundings as a void storm swept past him. He moved with the wind, merging into the storm, and then reappeared.

The storms that he used to have to withstand with his own body no longer harmed him in the slightest.

Standing still in the void once more, Li Wushou's mind stirred.

The layers of folds in the void were slowly parted by Li Wushou's mind, allowing him to instantly capture the locations of the minds of the various hidden agents under his control.

This is also why he was able to connect with and exchange information with the talisman masters and others even though he hadn't used his own spirit tablet and was thousands of miles away.

Although the void is unknown, if the primordial spirit transforms to a certain extent, it can actually expand the range of the mind's perception.

Li Wushou vaguely understood why the old beggar could always see so far and so wide.

However, even with this method, Li Wushou's mind can only barely cover most of the Sealed Spirit Path.

If one is a Venerable One, one should be able to cover the entire territory.

What about the old beggar?

Previously, he had been able to directly perceive the situation of the twelve continents of the outer sea, even through the Fengling Path and Fubo Domain!

Is this a special aspect of Shintoism, or simply because the old beggar had a strong mind?

Li Wushou's mind wandered.

After a moment, he regained his composure.

No matter how strong you are, it's useless; you still can't get past "He." Just keep trying!
With his mind focused on the location of the hidden agent, Li Wushou opened the void and arrived outside Zhongtian Pass.

Returning to this familiar place, the scenery of Zhongtian Pass has changed dramatically.

The sharp power of the sky and the resentful aura of the dragons underground were completely exhausted.

Even the Yin-Yang Dao Tree and the Fusang Divine Tree beneath the abyss were exhausted, leaving only a little bit of Daoist charm and a portion of the sacred aura.

This place where the Sparrow Master attained enlightenment has been abandoned, to the point that it can no longer even possess the power of a majestic pass.

Li Wushou gazed silently into the abyss, preparing to make this place shine once more.

He's going to be a bait here.

Be a lure that can attract everyone!
