Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 246 Envisioning a New Era, You Can Become the Dao Ancestor

All the major powers in the world are focusing their attention on the Immortal Demon Kingdom.

It is said that an immortal has entered the demon kingdom and discussed the great calamity of heaven and earth with the demon emperor.

With a great calamity imminent, it is hoped that the Demon Emperor will prioritize the greater good and refrain from further bloodshed, which would weaken the power of the world.

I heard that the council meeting went very smoothly, and the Demon Emperor promised that he would go into seclusion in peace thereafter.

The scattered immortals were very pleased that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor was able to consider the bigger picture.

As for the conflict between Wutian and his group and the Buddhist sect, the wandering immortals paid no attention to it.

In the future, to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth, we will need immortals. If we use fighting to help them quickly become immortals, the wandering immortals will only be happy.

The demonic cultivators also participated in the war, but they were merely sowing discord between the two sides.

In the three-way battle, the names of the Mighty Bull Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King once again resounded throughout the world.

Former sworn brothers occasionally clashed, resulting in fierce battles.

But no matter how fiercely they fought and how badly they were injured, no one was killed.

Sun Chengdao made rapid progress in battle, advancing towards the realm of the Loose Immortal.

They would also go to the wilderness to search for resources, although the good resources had already been divided up.

However, those ferocious beasts in the Immortal Ascension Realm are themselves resources, and the territories they guard also contain many spiritual herbs.

Sun Chengdao and his group continued to venture into the Great Wilderness, hunting ferocious beasts at the Immortal Ascension Realm to improve their abilities.

Within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, Kong De also entered the realm of Loose Immortals, following them to obtain resources in the Great Wilderness.

Despite the ongoing conflicts, the overall situation remains stable.

No more earth-shattering battles broke out in the world.

Those who have achieved Dao Integration and those who have ascended to Immortality are all developing the Great Wilderness, extracting the last bit of value from it.

Time flows on, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The number of ferocious beasts in the Great Wilderness has decreased significantly, and many powerful individuals have made progress in their cultivation.

  

As time went by, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas had merged with the Great Shang Dynasty, and the Demon Clan and the Human Clan also traded with each other.

An era of peaceful coexistence between the demon race and the human race has arrived. The dragon race protects the Central Plains, ensuring favorable weather and abundant harvests.

Humans and demons joined forces to strengthen the world.

The Netherworld also emerged, submitting to the Demon Emperor and strengthening the world.

The world is growing stronger at an extremely rapid pace. The space of the world today is so powerful that even those who have attained the Dao will find it difficult to tear apart.

In the Netherworld, humans, demons, and dragons each have their own duties. When cultivators fall, they transform into Dao and return to Heaven and Earth, giving everything back to the world.

Some powerful beings killed ferocious beasts that had reached the Dao Integration Realm, but instead of refining them, they transformed them into the world.

The entire Central Plains is striving to strengthen the world.

Wutian and his companions continued their battle against the Buddha and the Demon, without ceasing.

Deep within the Great Snow Mountain, Li Changsheng was still absorbing the energy of the Undying Tree. He planned to go into seclusion until he reached the Dao Integration stage.

The power left behind by the immortal tree is terrifying, enough for him to achieve the Dao.

As for which stage he will reach in the Dao Integration Realm, that's unclear, since he still needs to refine the Leaf World.

Some of the chaotic energy was also transformed, and Li Changsheng used this chaotic energy to form a chaotic seed in his dantian.

Yang Wushang finally awoke, but his dormant soul remained weak.

"Li Changsheng?"

When Yang Wushang awoke, he found himself in Li Changsheng's world of leaves, surrounded by abundant life. He sensed Li Changsheng's presence.

"This is my world," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"So you have indeed cultivated the laws of the world," Yang Wushang said. "Why haven't I died?"

"Because of my demonic seed, your soul was preserved," Li Changsheng said.

Yang Wushang said, "Why save me? Wouldn't it have been better for me to just leave like this?"

"Don't you want to have an era of your own?" Li Changsheng asked rhetorically.

"My era?" Yang Wushang was taken aback, then smiled bitterly, "The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor is suppressing this era, I will never have a chance to rise, and I don't want the glory of the sun anymore."

Li Changsheng said, "Don't you want to hear my plan?"

"What are your plans?" Yang Wushang asked in return.

"I will transform you into a Holy Embryo, a Holy Embryo even stronger than the Sun Holy Embryo of your ancestors!" Li Changsheng said, "Together we will create a new era."

"A Holy Embryo?" Yang Wushang stared at him in horror. "You can transform me into a Holy Embryo?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I be studying the Dao of Chaos?" Li Changsheng said proudly, "Do you still remember when I entered the Netherworld as the Taiyi Daoist?"

"Of course I know, this is related to the Holy Embryo?" Yang Wushang asked in confusion.

"That's right. The reason why the Nine Netherworld invited me there was to study the creation of the Holy Embryo."

With a wave of his hand, Li Changsheng transformed the world, bringing Yang Wushang high into the sky to look down at the creatures living below.

The creatures below still live a primitive life, having built simple stone houses and worshipping the gods and totems of heaven and earth.

"This is my world, the creatures I have created, but they are unaware of my existence."

Li Changsheng led Yang Wushang to a mountain: "This mountain nurtures the gods of heaven and earth. It was conceived by heaven and earth, and if it is born, it will be the sacred embryo of this world."

Yang Wushang listened to his account in shock, his eyes filled with horror: "You actually researched these things and achieved this level? What about the Nine Netherworlds?"

"Jiuyouming is also researching the Holy Embryo, but unfortunately, she is going in the wrong direction and is destined to fail."

Li Changsheng shook his head.

"Then why don't you tell her?" Yang Wushang asked, frowning.

"Why tell her? She won't live to see the Holy Embryo develop," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"Can you wait that long?" Yang Wushang frowned.

"I once had a chance, and my lifespan is still very long. I have this opportunity," Li Changsheng said. "I have been troubled by my talent for far too long. I want to reshape myself and study the Chaos Dao in order to transform into the Chaos Saint Embryo."

"It seems you've matured quite a bit and are well-prepared?" Yang Wushang asked.

"It's almost done, but we need to accumulate more chaotic energy."

Li Changsheng said, "We are the last hope."

"Last hope?"

"That's right. If the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the others cannot withstand the great calamity of heaven and earth, then I will avenge them."

Li Changsheng said, "Also, have you really let go of Yang Dingtian? If he dies in the great calamity of heaven and earth, the Sun lineage will be completely extinguished."

Yang Wushang fell silent.

"I am currently too weak and can only survive on the fringes of this era, so I must rebuild myself."

Li Changsheng said, "I don't know what the future holds. Perhaps it's out of loneliness that I want to bring you along."

"Thank you." Yang Wushang bowed deeply. "I am willing to follow you and rebuild myself."

"Alright, the two of us who cannot fit into this era will eventually usher in our own era," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Alright, let's welcome our era together!" Yang Wu's face showed determination: "One day, the sun's radiance will once again shine upon the entire world. Then, will we be able to nurture a few more sun birds?"

"I don't have that many elixirs. Giving birth to you has almost emptied my coffers. When we reach the new era, you can give birth to yourself," Li Changsheng rolled his eyes and said.

How can such gestation be as fast as reproduction?

Yang Wushang laughed and said, "Good, in this new era, I will restore the glory of the Sun Clan."

"Then focus on your cultivation. I also want to achieve Dao integration as soon as possible, and then I will go to the Ruins of Return," Li Changsheng said.

"Return to the Void?" Yang Wu's face showed doubt.

"Yes, if the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the others can't withstand the great calamity, the Ruins of Return will be our last resort," Li Changsheng said.

Guixu can leave this world, but it is fraught with danger and unpredictable; no one knows what lies within.

It's considered a last resort; unless absolutely necessary, one won't enter the Ruins of Return.

Yang Wushang nodded: "I'm just a remnant soul now, I can't do anything, I'll do whatever you say."

"Focus on your cultivation and nourish your soul. When the time is right, we will enter the gestation stage," Li Changsheng said.

Yang Wu's face showed anticipation: "What do you want to do in this new era?"

"A new era?" Li Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I would be satisfied if I didn't have to live like this anymore."

"I believe you can be a teacher of the world. With your abilities, you can educate all cultivators in the world," Yang Wushang said.

"To enlighten all cultivators in the world? Wouldn't that make one a Dao Ancestor?" Li Changsheng laughed.

"Dao Ancestor?" Yang Wushang was taken aback and asked, "What Dao Ancestor?"

Li Changsheng said, "Among the founders of the Daoist sect, there was once a Dao Ancestor named Hongjun who taught cultivators all over the world and passed down the way of cultivation. He was revered as the Dao Ancestor."

"If only the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and his ilk remain in the world, you could indeed be considered the Dao Ancestor," Yang Wushang said after a moment's thought.

Li Changsheng has trained so many powerful individuals. If the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor truly controls the world in the future, it would be no problem for him to honor Li Changsheng as a Dao Ancestor.

"So, in this new era, it doesn't seem impossible for me to become a Dao Ancestor?"

Li Changsheng smiled and said.

"You become the Dao Ancestor, and I will become the Demon Emperor, creating an era that belongs to us," Yang Wushang laughed heartily.

"Then I'll have to go to great lengths to build the Zixiao Palace, which is the Dao Ancestor's exclusive Daoist temple."

"I'll build it for you!"

Li Changsheng and Yang Wushang laughed heartily, filled with anticipation for a bright future.

If all goes well, they will usher in their own era!

After envisioning the future, Li Changsheng continued his seclusion, while Yang Wushang began to nurture his soul, regaining his will to live.

When the Holy Embryo is created in the future, it will shine upon the world once more, becoming the most dazzling sun.

Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation, and everything outside was peaceful.

Five hundred years later, Sun Chengdao became an immortal.

The Heavenly Sacred Embryo has become an immortal, possessing terrifying combat power, although it is still inferior to the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

After Sun Chengdao became an immortal, he wanted to deal with the immortal vengeful spirit, but unexpectedly, the immortal vengeful spirit was difficult to deal with and could not be killed.

This once again roused many scattered immortals to jointly suppress the undying vengeful spirit.

However, the undying vengeful spirit was exceptionally powerful this time, seemingly having received some kind of amplification, and actually injured quite a few rogue immortals.

Many scattered immortals joined forces to seal the immortal vengeful spirit once again.

Sun Chengdao also expressed his apologies, saying he hadn't expected the undead vengeful spirit to be even more powerful.

The wandering immortals were not alive; instead, they were immortal vengeful spirits that could not be killed and could only be worn down by the passage of time.

The world returned to peace, and beings like the Celestial Saintess successively attained immortality.

Wutian and Yang Dingtian also became immortals, and Niu Wendao and Ao Xuan also entered the realm of loose immortals.

The world has reached an unprecedented peak, and a new era has been born, giving rise to a group of immortals!

Moreover, they are all immortals with extremely strong combat power!

In any era, they would have been top-tier figures who swept across the world.

An era that gave birth to so many things is also known as the most brilliant era in history.

Of course, the period when the divine embryos roamed freely at the beginning of the world is not included, as there is no comparison.

Seeing so many powerful figures attain immortality, the veteran immortals were also gratified, seeing hope in resisting the great calamity of heaven and earth.

After becoming an immortal, Wutian went into seclusion to perfect the path of immortality and divinity.

Of the six realms of reincarnation, the strongest is the realm of immortals and gods. It used to be a figment of imagination, but now it's different.

He wants to cultivate himself into a true immortal!

The Six Paths encompass all living beings. If one achieves the path of immortality and divinity, one will be able to slaughter even chickens and dogs when facing immortals and divinities of the same level.

Sun Chengdao made great progress in the Five Elements Dao, fused the Five Elements Sacred Runes, and the strength of his Law Aura far surpassed that of ordinary immortals.

Yang Dingtian also went a step further beyond the Great Dao Unity, giving rise to Chaos.

After another six hundred years of seclusion and cultivation, Wutian, Yang Dingtian, and Sun Chengdao launched their strongest offensive against Buddhism.

At this moment, Niu Wendao and Ao Xuan led the demonic path in response.

Instead of instigating conflict, they joined forces with Wutian's Mahayana Buddhism to besiege Western Buddhism.

In an instant, Western Buddhism suffered heavy losses, and the Western Buddhist immortals were enraged, displaying the power of the Buddha on earth once again.

However, facing the five great saints, five scattered immortals, Wutian, Yang Dingtian, Sun Chengdao, Niu Wendao, and Ao Xuan, as well as the Buddha of Western Buddhism, they were unable to resist for a time.

In particular, Sun Chengdao possessed a true immortal artifact, powerful enough to destroy immortals and gods.

The wandering immortals of the demonic path, the Taoist path, the three holy lands, and the demon race gathered in the west, wanting to stop the war of the wandering immortals.

None of them expected that Wutian and his group, after becoming immortals, would unite to target Buddhism.

"Fellow Daoist Wutian, the great calamity of heaven and earth is imminent. We must not kill each other." Immortal Taiyi spoke first: "You should also understand this principle when you attain Dao."

"Master, this disciple understands, but Buddhism is going too far. Wutian is my sworn brother," Sun Chengdao replied.

"Amitabha." Wutian clasped his hands together, his gaze sharp: "Precisely because the great calamity of heaven and earth is approaching, it is necessary to consolidate our forces. Who can guarantee that the Buddhist sect will not have ulterior motives?"

"You wretch!" The Buddha of Buddhism roared in fury. "What do you mean? Do you think I, Buddha, would collude with those immortals?"

"What if?" Wutian asked expressionlessly. "This Buddha did it for the sake of the world. Back then, the Buddhist sect, in order to spread the Dharma and gain divine status in the mortal realm, ruthlessly slaughtered the Buddhist sect of the Great Snow Mountain!"

"That's a matter for me, a humble monk; I know nothing about it," the Buddha of Buddhism quickly retorted.

This must never be admitted, because he is a Buddhist immortal, the highest ruler!

"Fellow Buddhists will not betray the world, and those True Immortals will not accept us True Immortals either," said Taiyi Daoist in a deep voice.

"Even if those True Immortals don't accept it, who can guarantee that Buddhism won't go all out?" Wutian said again.

"Indeed, Buddhism should be governed by the Buddha Wutian." Yang Dingtian said, "The Buddha Wutian has achieved the realm of a Loose Immortal, perfected the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and comprehended the Great Dao of Amitabha Buddha. He is qualified to lead Buddhism."

"I, Old Ox, agree. Mahayana Buddhism is far more profound than your Buddhism," Ox asked.

The Buddha's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Are you trying to incite a war among the immortals?"

"Is it merely about controlling Buddhism?" asked the Taoist Master Taiyi.
