Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 220 Sun Chengdao Guides the Immortal Gods' Laws

When there are many shackles in the tunnels, living beings will approach a state of darkness.

The more shackles of the human world and the laws of nature there are, the more one will resemble the creatures of the human world.

One cultivates the life of the netherworld, the other cultivates the life of the human world.

They need to find the balance point, to grasp how many shackles can nurture what kind of life.

It's not enough to simply block out life.

Like an embryo now, it is closer to a netherworld life form, and its internal structure is still changing. He doesn't know what it will eventually become.

If the sun bird and the phoenix are treated in this way, even if they are successfully conceived, they will not be real phoenixes and sun birds, but rather mutants, commonly known as freaks.

"No need to rush, we still have time to study it slowly and comprehend the earth's way first," Li Changsheng said.

He has the Six Paths of Reincarnation as his foundation and has also comprehended the Earthly Emperor Reincarnation Sutra, so comprehending the Earthly Dao is easy for him.

Phoenix nodded and began to comprehend the Dao of the Netherworld.

The path of the underworld permeated every leaf, and Li Changsheng's underworld was rapidly being perfected.

The River of the Underworld flows through the world, connecting the realms of Yin and Yang.

Mountains and cities, hellish punishments.

As the underworld was perfected, Li Changsheng's world of leaves also grew stronger, and his own strength became increasingly formidable.

The phoenix on the side improved much more slowly.

It's not that he lacks comprehension, but rather that he lacks the foundation that Li Changsheng possessed.

Li Changsheng had already comprehended many great principles, and he was already very familiar with the Way of the Human Realm. In addition, with the foundation he had laid in the Netherworld, he could directly integrate his understanding of the Way of the Netherworld.

A series of great powers arose within the world of leaves, perfecting the six paths and condensing them through reincarnation.

With his formidable cultivation, he was not far from reaching the peak of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Having integrated the Dao of the Netherworld, Li Changsheng gained new insights into the Netherworld.

The life forms of the Netherworld are not without physical bodies; it's just that their bodies, tempered by the Netherworld energy, have long since become one with it.

Once they enter the human realm, they can use the energy of the netherworld to make their bodies ethereal, so that mortals cannot touch or see them.

He looked at the embryos, and the changes in the embryos were that they were getting closer to the life forms of the underworld, with their physical bodies becoming weak and insubstantial.

He then looked at the remaining embryos, which had not yet been bound by the shackles of heaven and earth.

  

The boundless Dao emerged within his body, transforming into endless chains—the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the shackles of Heaven and Earth!

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth merge and overlap at this moment.

Half of the Heavenly Way, half of the Earthly Way, merged into the rapidly dying embryo.

As the shackles of heaven and earth are absorbed, life is slowed down, and the natural talents of these embryos are also imprisoned.

Moreover, half of each is not enough; there must be more shackles in the Heavenly Way or the Earthly Way to keep the life force from fading and maintain it at the level of a normal mortal.

Li Changsheng could only try slowly, with half of the embryonic form having more than half of the Heavenly Dao, for human life.

Generally, there are more beings in the Netherworld, who are Netherworld beings.

As for the two halves, they were stillborn and could not be conceived.

By the time Li Changsheng finished all this, more than sixty years had passed, and a new embryo had been placed inside, taking shape.

Phoenix also became proficient in the Netherworld Tunnel, and Li Changsheng passed on his insights into imposing the shackles of heaven and earth to him.

Looking at the newly formed life embryo, this one has better natural talent, as it is basically derived from the essence and blood of the Yin spirit, or even the Yang spirit.

Others are the life essence of mortals and wild beasts.

The phoenix first took the gestation of mortals and wild beasts, while Li Changsheng taught him from the side.

The Rakshasa frequently send resources, so there is no shortage of life and spiritual energy for the time being, but it is still not enough to nurture the Sun Bird and the Phoenix.

"Master Taiyi, Sun Chengdao requests an audience."

A beautiful female Rakshasa arrived and bowed respectfully.

"Sun Chengdao?" Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Have him wait at the Netherworld Bridge."

"Yes." The female Rakshasa bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Li Changsheng looked at the phoenix: "Fellow Daoist, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll be right back."

"Island Lord, please go ahead," Phoenix nodded.

Li Changsheng's figure disappeared and merged into the Netherworld, using the Netherworld's Dao to become one with it.

Of course, he was not a true Daoist of the Netherworld, and he dared not compete with the Nine Netherworlds. He was merely using the Netherworld's energy to travel.

Now, this Netherworld is the territory of the Nine Netherworlds. To achieve Dao here is to steal the Nine Netherworlds' livelihood.

Sun Chengdao slumped on the Netherworld Bridge, panting heavily, his body covered in wounds.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, what's going on? Where is Wutian?"

Li Changsheng manifested and helped Sun Chengdao up.

Sun Chengdao let out a long sigh: "Wutian and I have been separated for a long time. I really have no other choice but to come here to rest."

"Hmm? What happened to you, fellow Daoist?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

Sun Chengdao looked distressed and sighed, "Daoist, you have no idea how miserable I was outside. It was not the life of a monkey. Even picking a peach could turn it into a deadly weapon."

Li Changsheng: "..."

There aren't even any peaches to eat?

"I just drink some water, and a Five Qi Converging to the Origin can leap out of it. This isn't about tempering myself in the Central Plains; they're deliberately trying to kill me!" Sun Chengdao angrily denounced the evil deeds of those cultivators.

Li Changsheng felt a pang of heartache. Look at what he'd done to the child!

"I came here to hide in the underworld. If I don't hide for a while, I'll really faint outside," Sun Chengdao sighed.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "Then I will have Rakshasa take you to the city to rest."

Send a female Rakshasa to take Sun Chengdao to rest, while summoning a new Rakshasa to inquire about the situation outside.

Yang Wushang, Zhenlong, Wutian, Sun Chengdao, and Yang Dingtian from the outside world were all being hunted down like dogs.

There was nowhere to hide, either in the sky or on the ground; it was either fighting or on the run for one's life.

I heard that these geniuses haven't slept for two hundred years.

How tragic!

The monkey's talk of eating peaches was actually falling into the other party's trap.

The cultivator who cultivated the Five Elements deliberately created a peach grove to lure the monkey there.

When the monkey got thirsty, a spring of clear water appeared. They used every trick in the book, almost to the point of killing the monkey.

If the monkey hadn't been so powerful, it probably would have been gone long ago.

Wu Tian and his group were the same; they couldn't stop for a moment and could only fight endlessly.

"Do you know Wutian's whereabouts?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I don't know yet, but I will inquire. Please rest assured, Daoist Master," Rakshasa said respectfully.

"There's no need to inquire further; just continue to pay attention to the external situation."

Li Changsheng waved his hand and returned to the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

Phoenix looked at him as he returned and asked, "What brings Sun Chengdao here?"

"We came here seeking refuge," Li Changsheng said.

"Seeking refuge?" Phoenix asked in surprise. "With his strength, why would he need to seek refuge? Could it be that the True Dragon has turned against him? Or has Yang Wushang come looking for him?"

"It's the Five Elements Masters of the various powers who aren't giving them any breathing room," Li Changsheng told Phoenix about Sun Chengdao's ordeal.

Phoenix laughed heartily: "Haha, good, good! These guys, they've finally met their match! Being chased like dogs, how satisfying!"

Li Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Are you really that gloating?"

"I've had my share of trouble with that True Dragon guy before, now that they're having a hard time, can't we at least have a little fun?"

Phoenix felt no shame whatsoever.

"The more pressure the various forces exert on me, the more uneasy I feel," Li Changsheng said in a deep voice.

Phoenix's expression also turned serious.

The more aggressively the various forces pressure us, the closer the great calamity of heaven and earth is to approach.

If it weren't for this reason, why would the major powers go to such lengths to force geniuses like Sun Chengdao to do so?

"However, these things are no longer my concern," Phoenix said.

"Yes, let's wait here patiently. Once Sun Chengdao wakes up, we'll throw him out. We can't bring trouble to the Underworld," Li Changsheng said.

Phoenix nodded. The thing they were researching was very important and could not be exposed.

The two continued to monitor the regeneration pool, while Li Changsheng sent a thought to the place where Sun Chengdao was sleeping.

In the netherworld, Sun Chengdao slept soundly and sweetly.

In a daze, Sun Chengdao entered a dream and dreamed of Li Changsheng from the past.

He returned to the North Heavenly River, to the Dragon-Raising Pool, where he had lived before.

He saw himself, for the first time becoming Li Changsheng's disciple, with his master teaching him with great care.

Having witnessed everything that happened back then, he met Ao Yu and played carefree.

I saw him asking his master for the secret to immortality...

"Master."

As the past events resurfaced, Sun Chengdao could no longer hold back and cried out.

I thought there wouldn't be any reaction in my dream.

To Sun Chengdao's surprise, Li Changsheng saw him and waved, saying, "My good disciple, you're back? How have you been these past years?"

"Master?" Sun Chengdao was taken aback, and murmured, "This dream... is truly wonderful."

The master's hand landed on his head, so real, as if they were truly meeting.

"Is life outside very tiring?" Li Changsheng asked gently.

"Master, your disciple has missed you for thousands of years!" Sun Chengdao hugged Li Changsheng tightly, expressing his longing: "Your disciple cultivates in the Daoist sect, and misses you every moment. Your disciple is powerless and wants to revive you, but cannot find a way to do so."

"I will always live on, in your heart, in your dreams."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "As long as you still miss your teacher, your teacher will never die."

"Master, your disciple will never forget you." Sun Chengdao hugged him tightly, not daring to let go, for fear that if he let go, his master would disappear.

"Silly disciple, you've suffered so much out there," Li Changsheng sighed softly. "You should know why those Five Qi Converging Yuan cultivators are forcing you like this, right?"

"Master, I know they want me to improve."

Sun Chengdao wiped away his tears and said, "But disciple, I'm really too tired. I can't hold on much longer. I can't bear such a huge responsibility!"

Li Changsheng fell silent.

A tremendous responsibility!

It pressed down on Sun Chengdao's shoulders, almost crushing him.

So what if it's the Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth? It's no longer from an ancient era, and his cultivation time is far too short.

With thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, how could they possibly face a group of true immortals who had lived for countless years?

"Master, I am afraid. I am afraid of failing the expectations of the Daoist sect. I am afraid of failure. If I fail, I will be a sinner to the entire Daoist sect and the whole world..."

Sun Chengdao wept bitterly. In his dream, he had already let go of everything and only wanted to tell his master about his grievances.

The Taoist sect saw him as their hope, but who could he turn to for his own hope?

Li Changsheng looked at the weeping Sun Chengdao, picked him up, and said, "My good disciple, no matter what the outcome, no matter what you choose, even if you run away, I will support you."

"But, Master..."

"There are no 'buts'. Remember this: at any time, preserving your life is the only way to have a future!"

Li Changsheng said sternly, "What did I teach you back then? Survival comes first. Have you forgotten everything?"

"Disciple has not forgotten, disciple has always been very cautious." Sun Chengdao said somewhat flusteredly, "Master's teachings have always been kept in mind, but in the future there will be a great calamity that will affect the world."

"I am selfish as your teacher, but I am very pleased and admire your righteousness."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "Go to the Northern Heavenly River. I left you some things there back then. You will understand them when you get there."

"Master? Bei Tianhe?" Sun Chengdao stared blankly, looking up in disbelief.

"Go, you are the sacred embryo of heaven and earth. To develop the power of the sacred embryo, fusing the sacred runes is not the ultimate goal. You must guide yourself to the path of immortals and gods."

With a wave of his hand, Li Changsheng dispelled the dream.

One of his divine souls also silently escaped from the Netherworld and went to the Northern Heavenly River to leave behind the Dharma teachings for Sun Chengdao.

Inside the room, Sun Chengdao suddenly woke up, already drenched in sweat.

"I have already achieved the Five Qi Convergence, how could I suddenly be having a dream? Master, could it be...?"

Sun Chengdao's eyes flashed with golden light. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for him to dream anymore, unless it was done by someone!

Could it be that someone in the netherworld has used some trickery?

"Northern Heavenly River... Whether it's true or not, I have to go to Northern Heavenly River again. If it's true, then my master..."

Thinking of this, Sun Chengdao could no longer sleep and immediately left the Netherworld.

All my fatigue vanished in that instant.

Sun Chengdao transformed into a streak of light and escaped from the Netherworld.

At the same time, outside the Netherworld, the Five Qi Convergence cultivators who were lurking all gave chase.

"This Sun Chengdao, he only stayed for less than a day, how come he's already out?"

"We've already let the water out, why doesn't he rest a little longer?"

The cultivators who had reached the Five Elements were filled with doubt.

They had already sent Sun Chengdao to rest in the Netherworld, but Sun Chengdao actually came out again.

"Follow them and see what happens, don't rush to make a move," a powerful figure from the Daoist sect whispered.

They were quite lenient with Sun Chengdao; their purpose was to temper and coerce him, not to kill him.

However, as they flew, some cultivators realized they were heading in the wrong direction and exclaimed, "Is this the direction of the Northern Heavenly River?"

"Why did this monkey end up in Beitianhe?"

"What is there that's attracting him? Could it be that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor has made arrangements?"

The Taoists began to discuss how the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor had been keeping a close eye on Sun Chengdao.

While he was still wondering, Sun Chengdao had already arrived at the North Heavenly River, the place where Li Changsheng lived in the wooden house at the Dragon Raising Pool.

Buzz

A golden light shot out and entered Sun Chengdao's brow.

"That is..." The Taoists' expressions changed.

bang

The next moment, the wind and clouds changed color, the sky cracked open, and endless starlight fell from the void, like a dazzling Milky Way descending upon the Northern Heavenly River.

The supreme and unparalleled path of immortals and gods, transcending heaven and earth, descends upon the mortal realm with divine might...
