Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 209 Instructing Wutian and Sun Chengdao on New Techniques

"So it's Master Taiyi."

From within the aura of the netherworld, a Rakshasa emerged, bowing respectfully: "Please, Daoist Master, accompany me into the netherworld."

"I don't have the Netherworld Token right now, so it's best to forget about it if my soul enters," Li Changsheng said after thinking for a moment.

"Rest assured, Daoist Master, the King of the Underworld has already taken measures. You can come and go freely without needing the Underworld Decree," Rakshasa said.

Li Changsheng then followed him into the Netherworld.

After passing through the Netherworld Pass, the surroundings became vast, like a small world.

The distant corridor had vanished, replaced by a dark stone bridge spanning the River of the Underworld.

At the end of the River of the Underworld lies the City of Rebirth.

"Taoist priest, you may cross the bridge on your own. The King of the Underworld is inside the City of Rebirth." Rakshasa bowed and withdrew.

Li Changsheng stepped onto the stone bridge, and the surrounding void rippled as the Nine Netherworlds coalesced.

What brings you here today?

Jiuyouming spoke calmly: "After so many years of seclusion, Fellow Daoist Taiyi must have made great progress in your cultivation."

"Unlike Fellow Daoist Ming, the Netherworld is now so vast. In time, it may truly become a world, recreating the Netherworld of the past."

Li Changsheng said.

"No matter what, it's impossible for me to become the Netherworld I once was," Jiu Youming said, shaking his head.

"Why?" Li Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Heaven and earth are flawed, and the Great Dao is damaged." Jiu Youming sighed slightly and said, "If the Great Dao is not repaired, it cannot be restored to perfection, just like in this era, no one can live forever."

"Is it because the Great Dao is damaged that we cannot live forever?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Not bad." Jiuyouming sighed softly, "During the time that Ming has evolved into Youming, I have been thinking about why I cannot perfect Youming and why the world cannot live forever. Only by using the Reincarnation Realm to activate the power of the Earthly Emperor Dao did I realize that heaven and earth are flawed and the Great Dao is damaged."

"Perhaps this was the reason why the path to immortality was severed back then," Li Changsheng pondered. "Has fellow Daoist discovered anything else?"

"Yes!" Jiu Youming's expression changed slightly as he said, "According to my understanding, the true source comes from the Great Dao of Longevity."

"Hmm? The Path to Immortality?" Li Changsheng's heart stirred, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Could it be related to the Tree of Immortality?

"Indeed, the path to immortality is related to the lifespan of all living beings in the world. In ancient times, the path to immortality was not manifest, so immortals and gods could easily achieve eternal life."

Jiuyouming said calmly, "With the Great Dao of Immortality damaged, even immortals and gods cannot draw life force, so they naturally cannot achieve eternity."

"What does this have to do with the Netherworld?" Li Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"The netherworld is the end of lifespan and the beginning of new life. Without the protection of life, how can one safely reincarnate?"

Jiuyouming sighed softly and said, "Unless the Great Dao of Immortality can be repaired, it is impossible to restore Youming to its original state."

Li Changsheng pondered Jiu Youming's words. As the Longevity Tree, he should belong to the Great Dao of Longevity and be a rare treasure nurtured by it.

The Path to Immortality was damaged, but his own Tree of Immortality remained unaffected.

wrong……

Could it be that the previous Tree of Immortality lacked sentience because it had completed the Great Dao of Immortality?

It is precisely because heaven and earth are flawed and the great Dao is broken that the Tree of Immortality has the opportunity.

"Fellow Daoist, have you thought of something?"

Seeing him lost in thought, Jiu Youming couldn't help but ask.

Li Changsheng came to his senses and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about how to repair the Great Dao. After all, everyone wants to live forever."

If the path to immortality is not repaired, then the privilege of immortal warriors will belong solely to him.

"Repair the Great Dao? Forget about it." Jiu Youming sighed deeply. "If the Great Dao could be repaired, why would the immortals and gods of ancient times have died of old age?"

If the Great Dao could be repaired, the immortals and gods would have done so long ago.

"That's true, this isn't something we should worry about," Li Changsheng said. "Whether we can become immortals in this lifetime is still unknown."

"Fellow Daoist has already achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, why belittle yourself? Perhaps you will have the opportunity to become an immortal," said Jiu Youming.

"I am already over three thousand years old," Li Changsheng sighed bitterly. "Even if I survive another two thousand years and manage to achieve the Five Qi Convergence, it will still be difficult to attain the Dao."

The lifespan of someone with three flowers gathered at the top of their head can reach six thousand years.

The Five Qi Convergence only lasts for seven thousand years. For a normal cultivator with his talent, there is absolutely no possibility of achieving Dao in this lifetime.

Jiu Youming offered a word of comfort, then seized the opportunity to change the subject: "Perhaps, fellow Daoist, you will have other opportunities. May I ask what brings you to Youming this time?"

The opportunity to become an immortal is too great; in the present world, such an opportunity probably doesn't exist.

Even if there were, they would be reserved for top geniuses, not for Li Changsheng.

"Having heard that Wutian and Sun Chengdao are cultivating in seclusion in the Netherworld, I have come to visit them," Li Changsheng said.

Jiu Youming asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you have a relationship with them?"

"Master Wutian Xuanzang and I have some connection," Li Changsheng said.

Jiuyouming suddenly realized, "So you have this connection with me, fellow Daoist. Wutian and Sun Chengdao are in the City of Rebirth."

During their conversation, the two arrived at the City of Rebirth.

There are already quite a few Netherworld residents in the city, and now the Netherworld is increasing its population through self-reproduction.

In this world, the souls of mortals dissipate before they can even be formed.

Those cultivators, without reaching the Yin Spirit level, are unable to condense their divine soul.

Upon reaching the Yin God realm, if one can still survive, one will choose to possess another body for rebirth and will not come to the Netherworld.

The population of the underworld can only rely on themselves.

Wutian and Sun Chengdao were in seclusion in the city when Jiuyouming notified them to come.

In no time, Wutian and Sun Chengdao emerged from the secret chamber, their auras concealed to avoid frightening the inhabitants of the Netherworld.

"Master Taiyi."

Wu Tian and Sun Chengdao bowed to each other.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "I have been entrusted by someone to come and invite you two out of the Netherworld."

"Hmm? Who is it?" Sun Chengdao asked.

"Xuanzang!" Li Changsheng said.

Wu Tian's expression changed, and he looked at Li Changsheng in shock: "You mean, my master Xuanzang?"

Could it be that the Taiyi Daoist before us is our master, Xuanzang?

Li Changsheng paid no attention to Wutian's change in expression and said, "That's right. Five hundred years ago, I met Master Xuanzang and we became friends through our discussions on the Dao."

"Where is my master now?" Wutian asked excitedly.

Li Changsheng shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Xuanzang, if you two are invited out of the Netherworld this time, you might show yourselves."

"Then let's go out now." Wutian couldn't wait to see his master.

Sun Chengdao scratched his head: "Since you are Master Wutian, why are you seeing me?"

"Perhaps it's because you two have a very good relationship that Fellow Daoist Xuanzang also wants to meet you," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"Monkey, come with me." Wutian grabbed Sun Chengdao and was about to leave the Netherworld.

"Fellow Daoist Ming, I apologize for disturbing you this time. I will visit you again next time." Li Changsheng bowed and bid farewell to Jiu Youming.

Jiuyouming nodded slightly, watching them leave: "Xuanzang, Taiyi Daoist, it seems that there are still many reclusive beings hidden in this Central Plains."

She had always been curious about Xuanzang, who was able to cultivate Wutian, but she had never had the chance to meet him.

Although Taiyi Daoist did not come out to compete and was even defeated by Sun Chengdao, she did not believe that the fact that he had cultivated a true dragon body was the full extent of Taiyi's strength.

Now that Taiyi is connected to Xuanzang, it further confirms her guess.

Li Changsheng led them away from the Netherworld, not to Penglai, but to the Great Snow Mountain in the far north.

The once simple and humble Dabei Temple has long since turned to dust.

"Daoist Master, where is Master?" Wutian looked around but did not find Xuanzang.

"Here I am," Li Changsheng said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Buddha's light appeared in the distance, and a Buddha's figure stepped through the air.

"Master." Wutian hurriedly flew towards the Buddha's figure, knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple Wutian greets Master."

"Junior Sun Chengdao greets Senior Xuanzang." Sun Chengdao also bowed in greeting.

Xuanzang smiled slightly and said, "Good disciple, you have achieved the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and have not disappointed your master."

"But, Master, this disciple is still inadequate." Wutian lowered his head and said, "Only when ancient geniuses descended upon this era did this disciple realize the gap between us."

"It's alright. The reason I called you and Sun Chengdao here is to have Fellow Daoist Taiyi teach you a new method," Xuanzang said.

"Master Taiyi?" Wutian turned around and looked at Li Changsheng in surprise.

Li Changsheng smiled and nodded slightly.

Sun Chengdao looked doubtful: "Taiyi? Him?"

He had fought with Taiyi Daoist and admitted that Taiyi was very strong, but probably not qualified to teach them.

"I have studied various Taoist scriptures and methods, and Fellow Daoist Taiyi has mastered the study of ancient demon runes. If you cultivate the path of sacred runes, you will surely make further progress."

Xuanzang said, "I have come here in disguise this time and cannot stay any longer. From now on, you should help each other and not abandon any one of you."

"Master, your disciple will follow your teachings." Wutian understood what his master meant.

Master Li Changsheng, Sun Chengdao is also Master's disciple!

Sun Chengdao scratched the hair on his arm and said, "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely help Wutian."

Over the years, his friendship with Wutian has become very deep.

Although he didn't understand why Wutian had helped him from the beginning, he remembered this kindness.

"Master, this is the complete Six Paths of Reincarnation method." Wutian hurriedly handed the Six Paths of Reincarnation method to Xuanzang.

Xuanzang patted Wutian on the shoulder: "I will wait for the moment when you become invincible."

After speaking, his body slowly dissipated.

"Invincible under heaven?" Sun Chengdao looked at Wutian in surprise, not expecting him to have such ambition.

Wutian stood up, his body radiating the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation: "Amitabha. The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor suppressed an era, and this humble monk should also suppress an era. If you are interested in attaining enlightenment, we can join forces to suppress an era and become invincible under heaven."

"Invincible under heaven? There are others who are equal?" Sun Chengdao blinked and said, "I'm not interested in being invincible under heaven. The Daoist sect sent me here to hone my skills. I just want to know if there is still a way to be resurrected in this world."

"As long as you don't give up, there is hope." Wu Tian looked at Sun Chengdao meaningfully and gave him a word of encouragement.

Sun Chengdao nodded emphatically: "You're right. As long as we don't give up, there's hope."

Li Changsheng quietly received the Six Paths of Reincarnation method, and after teaching them, he integrated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao patterns.

The human and the demon approached Li Changsheng and bowed respectfully: "Master Taiyi, our master instructed us to follow you in cultivating the path of sacred runes."

"I will only teach you the methods, not the sacred runes," Li Changsheng said. "Those ancient sacred runes are extremely rare. I have only obtained the True Dragon Rune, which is a dragon rune and cannot be passed on to you."

"This humble monk understands," Wutian replied respectfully.

Sun Chengdao quickly replied, "I understand."

He himself is the sacred embryo of heaven and earth; as long as one learns the method, one will have sacred markings.

"Then let's begin. Demon race patterns and cultivator's Dao patterns are both condensations of the path of cultivation."

Li Changsheng slowly explained: "The ways of the world also have patterns. We comprehend the ways of the world and strengthen our true essence, but the tempering of our bodies is still insufficient."

"My path of sacred runes is to refine oneself using the ways of the world. If one merges oneself with the Dao, then there is no need to merge with the Dao; one is the Dao!"

"In the future, it will be easier for you to attain enlightenment..."

Li Changsheng passed on his method of refining sacred runes to them, and the human and the demon listened with great amazement.

In particular, Sun Chengdao, although he used sacred runes, was far less detailed and miraculous than Sun Chengdao.

It's also because he didn't study it or have this idea.

If he had studied the method of refining sacred runes earlier, he certainly wouldn't have been forced to flee into the Longevity Demon Kingdom by a mere Kunpeng.

"Once I master this technique, I will surely kill that Kunpeng bird," Sun Chengdao said viciously.

Wutian put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you for transmitting the Dharma, Daoist Master. My method of reincarnation will be able to advance further."

"You may continue your cultivation; I will protect you," Li Changsheng said calmly.

The human and the demon immediately sat down and began to cultivate the way of refining sacred runes.

Li Changsheng then set up an array nearby to isolate them from the outside world and protect them.

Seeing them enter a meditative state, Li Changsheng also moved away from them and began to refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation patterns.

Wutian's understanding of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely profound, especially during his time in the Netherworld, where his comprehension of the Great Dao of the Earth Emperor is even more profound.

Unfortunately, it lacks the Earth Emperor's Sacred Mark.

We'd have to ask Jiuyouming for it, but Jiuyouming definitely wouldn't give it to him, so we had to give up on that idea.

Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation patterns merged into his entire body, encompassing him by the Great Dao of Longevity.

This time, I did not try to probe the Great Dao that pierces through the starry sky, after all, I have not yet reached the realm of immortals and gods.

His body strengthened once more, and the Earth Emperor Dao Patterns and the Reincarnation Mark appeared on his body.

This time, he can enter and leave the Netherworld at will without needing the Netherworld Decree or any special measures from the Nine Netherworlds.

The human path and the path of the underworld intertwined and merged within Li Changsheng's body, perfecting the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

His world of sixty-six leaves was thus perfected, containing the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth.

Heaven and earth intertwine, and the cycle of reincarnation is complete!

However, his world is not the real world after all. It has not yet given birth to any living beings, nor can it be reincarnated or reborn.

Having mastered the way of reincarnation, with his endless vitality, he felt that enabling someone to complete reincarnation should not be a problem, but it was only a feeling.

I'll try it sometime in the future to see if I can successfully reincarnate.

If possible, then I am the true master!

Of course, he didn't hold out much hope. Since the Great Dao was damaged, perhaps it wasn't just the Great Dao of Immortality that was damaged.

The power of reincarnation involves not only the path to immortality, but also many other paths, since reincarnation encompasses all living beings in the world.
