Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 333 Daoist Elixir

Space Daoist and Li Changsheng returned to the Heavenly Court.

He had no power to resist Li Changsheng.

His injuries were too severe. Even the benevolent corpse of the Time Dao Venerable could defeat him, let alone Li Changsheng's true form.

The battle between the Dao Venerables of Time and Space alarmed the other Dao Venerables.

However, after Li Changsheng's aura appeared, all the Dao Venerables went back into seclusion, only sending those who had attained Dao to the Heavenly Court.

Back in the secret chamber, the Space Daoist was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected there to be another being here, almost comparable to him at his peak.

Emperor Tianxin!

"Space Dao Venerable." Emperor Tianxin nodded slightly and generously offered a Dao Venerable's corpse: "Dao Venerable, take this to heal your wounds."

"A Dao Venerable?" The Space Dao Venerable was taken aback, then looked at the other Dao Venerable corpses and fell silent for a moment.

Li Changsheng said calmly, "Dao Venerable, there's no need to overthink it. These Dao Venerables were all sent by other ancient Dao Venerables."

"Sent here?" The Space Daoist was even more surprised.

He knew those old fogies well enough to know why they would be so generous as to give away the Daoist's corpse to them.

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "It all started with time..."

Li Changsheng relayed what he had said to the other Dao Venerables to the Space Dao Venerable.

Upon hearing this, the Space Dao Venerable was shocked and enraged: "No wonder Time attacked me, trying to devour me to heal my injuries? How hateful, blocking me only helped him."

Back then, when the Daoist of Time was injured during his attack on the mysterious land, the Daoist of Space came to his aid.

As a result, the Space Daoist also suffered serious injuries.

In addition, his injuries became even more severe after the formation of the City of Time and Space and his battle with the Origin Immortal Ancestor.

He and Time were originally considered close friends.

Unfortunately, the Time Daoist used him as nourishment in order to heal his injuries.

Fortunately, Li Changsheng had comprehended the Great Dao of Time and Space; otherwise, he would not have been able to save the Space Dao Venerable in time.

Li Changsheng also passed on the Good Corpse Method to the Space Dao Venerable, including the Three Corpse Cultivators in the Heavenly Court, and their insights on severing the Good Corpse.

The Space Daoist bowed and said, "Thank you both. I will be troubling you from now on."

"The Space Clan was originally part of the Heavenly Court. Now that the Dao Venerable has returned, it has strengthened the power of our Heavenly Court."

Li Changsheng laughed and said, "The Heavenly Emperor and I look forward to the Dao Venerable recovering from his injuries and regaining his former glory."

"I will never let you two down," the Space Daoist said in a deep voice.

"Does the Daoist Master know anything about that mysterious place?" Emperor Tianxin asked.

"We know some things, but we don't know the exact location."

The Space Dao Venerable shook his head and said, "Since the Time Dao Venerable's attack, the surrounding area has changed and has been sealed off by a joint effort of many Dao Venerables, making it difficult to investigate."

Li Changsheng pondered and said, "Judging from what Daoist Time said, it is very likely related to the realm above Daoist."

"Just now, the Time Dao Venerable already possessed some of the aura from that place."

The Space Dao Venerable pondered, "That place is indeed above the Dao Venerable level, but with the strength of a Dao Venerable, it is almost impossible to explore it."

The Daoist of Time was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and the Daoist of Space was also severely injured.

Even an ancient Daoist master would not succeed in forcibly exploring that mysterious place.

"There's no rush. We'll discuss it after the Dao Venerable recovers," Li Changsheng said calmly. "Besides, the current Dao Venerables are all preparing for the new era."

The Space Dao Venerable nodded. If his injuries hadn't been so severe, he too would have become one of the Dao Venerables preparing for the new era.

The Space Dao Venerable was placed in a secret room next door to heal, while Li Changsheng and the Heavenly Heart Emperor continued to refine the Dao Venerable's corpse to enhance their abilities.

As for the Time Daoist, Li Changsheng couldn't be bothered with him.

Having shattered his ambition to devour the Space Dao Venerable, the Time Dao Venerable is probably cursing loudly now, while trying to come up with a new way to deal with the situation.

It's not a big deal for the Time Daoist to scold him a couple of times, after all, the Time Daoist has taken the blame for himself.

The ancient Dao Venerables continued their seclusion, while the Dao Venerables of the starry sky continued their struggle for resources.

The Space Dao Venerable is also refining the Dao Venerable's corpse, rapidly improving his power.

Finally, another three hundred years passed, and one by one, those who attained enlightenment entered the Heavenly Court.

Some who have attained enlightenment have a different aura than before, and their strength is comparable to that of a Dao Venerable.

The benevolent corpse has been severed!

They had long since reached the end of the Great Dao, but now that they had found a new path, they easily comprehended it and joined the ranks of Dao Venerables.

These newly promoted Dao Venerables are also quite powerful, even stronger than those who have just merged with the Great Dao.

The ancient Daoist masters all sensed the power of the Three Corpses Method.

So, after they passed through the pass, they were sent over again.

Wutian still hosted them, and they discussed the Dao as before.

The Heavenly Court needs time, and the Space Dao Venerable also needs time to heal.

Three hundred years have only allowed the Space Dao Venerable to recover 30% of his injuries.

It will take some time before they can return to their peak.

Those who attained enlightenment became familiar with the procedures of the Heavenly Court and were no longer in a hurry to discuss the Dao.

After another five hundred years of discussion, the Space Dao Venerable's injuries finally recovered to seventy percent.

Li Changsheng and Emperor Tianxin have also made further progress in their strength.

Yang Wushang and the other Great Saints also improved.

In particular, Yang Wushang used the corpse of the Daoist Venerable as nourishment to successfully sever the body that was currently in existence.

Now, he has become the third strongest force in the Heavenly Court, and the third person to be defeated in this life.

However, he did not show himself and remained within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Wutian and Sun Chengdao have also made progress in their current situations, and it won't be long before they can take another step forward.

After the five-hundred-year Dao discussion concluded, Wutian did not rush to dismiss the banquet. Instead, he said, "Congratulations everyone, your cultivation has greatly improved. From now on, I should address you all as Dao Venerables."

"Likewise, Great Sage Wutian, your strength has also increased rapidly over the years, and you have joined the ranks of Dao Venerables."

Many newly promoted Daoist masters bowed and said.

Yang Jiuhuang laughed heartily and said, "Wutian Daozun, we should share in your joy."

"What brings you all here today? The Heavenly Court is indeed unaware of the remaining methods of the Evil Corpse Technique," Wutian said.

"We have not come here to ask for the method of the evil corpse."

The deputy leader of the Cangtian lineage said, "Eight hundred years ago, there were fluctuations in space and time. The Cangtian Dao Venerable sent me here to inquire about the specific situation."

"Eight hundred years ago... alas." Wutian sighed softly and said, "Let the Space Daoist recount this matter himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura of the Great Dao of Space spread out, and countless spatial Dao patterns filled the void.

The Daoist of Space stepped out of the void, entered the banquet, and sat in the main seat.

Wutian also stepped aside slightly, giving his position to the Space Dao Venerable.

"Greetings, Venerable Space Dao." Many newly promoted Dao Venerables hurriedly stood up and bowed.

This Space Dao Venerable is also the oldest Dao Venerable, and can be considered a contemporary of the Dao Venerables behind them.

Even though their injuries have not yet fully healed, they still want to show them respect.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a seat." The Space Daoist bowed in return and sighed softly, "Since you all want to know, I will not hide what happened eight hundred years ago."

The surrounding void rippled, revealing scenes from eight hundred years ago.

The Time Corpse ambushed the sleeping Space Dao Venerable. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the Longevity Dao Ancestor Li Changsheng, the Space Dao Venerable would probably have already been turned into nourishment.

The Space Daoist said gravely, "The Time Daoist is ambitious, having created the Three Corpses Method, and even intends to devour me, control the Great Dao of Space, and encompass time and space as one!"

At this point, the Space Dao Venerable's face was full of anger: "Back then, I personally helped him withstand the impact of the Great Calamity Land, which is why I suffered such severe injuries."

"Yet he showed no regard for our friendship, treating me like this is utterly despicable!"

The newly promoted Daoist masters all wore solemn expressions.

Although I already knew about this, it was only when I heard the Space Dao Venerable say it that I realized how terrifying the Time Dao Venerable was.

The Space Daoist continued, "Fortunately, the Time Daoist's injuries have not yet healed; unfortunately, the Time Daoist already possesses a trace of the aura of the Great Calamity Land."

"What?"

The newly appointed Daoist masters were visibly shocked.

A land of great calamity!

As the oldest beings, they have followed the ancient Daoist masters for many years.

Even if one doesn't know much about the Land of Great Calamity, one still knows something.

That's a place capable of destroying a Dao Venerable, and it's rumored to contain realms beyond the Dao Venerable!

The Time Daoist has created the Three Corpse Method and possesses the aura of the Great Calamity Land. Could it be that he is about to transcend the Daoist realm?

"Time Daoist, I know you can sense me mentioning you. Listen to me, I will never let you go!"

The Space Daoist's expression turned icy as he spoke again, "Fellow Daoists, be careful! The Time Daoist is treacherous and despicable, lurking in the shadows. He needs to heal now, but once he recovers, he will be unmatched throughout the entire starry sky!"

……

In the distant void.

The Time Daoist's face was extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Immortal Daoist Ancestor!"

Even the most ancient Daoist of Time was so enraged at this moment that he wanted to curse.

You unfilial wretch!

You clearly created the Three Corpses Method, yet you're attributing it to me?

That's fine, I was just hiding in the dark healing my wounds, how can you say that I was manipulating everything behind the scenes?

Even if his injuries heal, he would still be comparable to those ancient Daoist masters who had severed their benevolent corpses.

In the present starry sky, those who have attained enlightenment have all severed their good corpses. Will the ancient Dao Venerables fall behind them?

This starry sky can no longer be preserved!

His own physical body also needs to be moved; once it is found, he will face an attack from all the ancient Daoist masters.

……

In the Heavenly Court, the Space Daoist vehemently denounced the Time Daoist's evil deeds, admitting that he was blind to have associated with this wolfish and ambitious fellow.

The newly appointed Daoist masters also expressed their sympathy and joined in the condemnation.

That Daoist Time is a complete scoundrel!

After recounting the evil deeds of the Time Daoist, the Space Daoist returned to continue his seclusion, as he needed to seize the time to heal his injuries.

Now, he is almost able to sever his good corpse. Although he is a little behind, he has the corpse of the Dao Venerable to make up for it.

"As you all have heard, the Heavenly Court is weak. At this time, Daoist Master, I must ask you all for help," Wutian said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"We'll discuss the matter of the Time Daoist later."

The Vice Master of the Heavenly Sect rose and bowed, saying, "I have come here to inquire with the Heavenly Court whether the method of the Benevolent Corpse can be widely disseminated to benefit the cosmos."

"Oh? To benefit the starry sky?" Wutian looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"In this era, too many Dao Venerables lack sufficient strength, and those who have attained Dao have no future."

Xu Meng from the Origin Immortal Realm continued, "Now that the Three Corpses Method has appeared and the Good Corpse Method has been spread, it is just right for those who have attained the Dao to achieve it, and for those Dao Venerables to further advance their strength."

"Indeed, as pioneers of the Great Way, we should benefit those who follow."

The newly promoted Dao Venerables spoke solemnly.

Wutian understood; this was to create a new batch of Dao Venerables.

Of course, it wasn't out of genuine kindness; it was simply that the Daoist Master was offering assistance.

The arrival of a new era requires nourishment.

We've already killed a batch of Dao Venerables, so there aren't enough Dao Venerables left in the Starry Sky.

What to do if there isn't enough nutrients?

Then let's cultivate new nutrients!

The Good Corpse Method is just right; it prevents these Dao Venerables from becoming too powerful, and also eliminates any potential path for them.

Having severed the evil corpse and the self-corpse, he only possesses a benevolent corpse, making him merely a Daoist Venerable with decent strength.

It is absolutely impossible to rival the ancient Daoist master, or even go further.

"The Good Corpse Method was not created by the Heavenly Court; the Heavenly Court merely inherited it."

Wutian pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the Dharma has been handed over to you all, how you wish to handle it is your business and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court."

He couldn't stop it from happening, and the Dao Venerables weren't really there to ask for the Heavenly Court's opinion; they were just there to give a notification.

Wutian also kept in mind the instructions of Li Changsheng and Emperor Tianxin: the Heavenly Court should remain neutral and low-key as much as possible, and not provoke anyone.

The Heavenly Court cannot manage the entire starry sky, let alone those ancient Daoist masters.

They haven't lost their minds because of a benevolent corpse technique, nor have they thought they're the best in the cosmos.

Upon receiving Wutian's reply, the newly promoted Dao Venerables showed expressions of satisfaction.

This is the answer they wanted, and this is their attitude.

Having received a reply from the Heavenly Court, they did not linger and departed one after another.

After sending them away, Wutian immediately ordered: "Continue to seal off the Heavenly Court. Do not accept any Daoist Masters who come seeking refuge."

"Understood," Yang Wushang's voice rang out.

Next, the number of Dao Venerables in the starry sky will surge, but an even more tragic era will also arrive.

Newly promoted Dao Venerables will become nourishment for ancient forces.

All those who attain enlightenment throughout the starry sky are also great medicines nurtured by the ancient Dao Venerables.

Upon learning this news, Li Changsheng and Emperor Tianxin could only sigh that these Dao Venerables were all beings of great vision.

The Space Daoist entered the secret chamber and pondered, "Is the Heavenly Court really not going to participate? By then, I will have recovered to my peak, and with the addition of you two fellow Daoists, we will be the strongest on the surface."

Both Li Changsheng and the Heavenly Heart Emperor are comparable to ancient Dao Venerables, with Li Changsheng being stronger.

The three of them working together are indeed stronger than those ancient Daoist masters working alone.

Even if the three Taoist masters joined forces, they would only be equal in number to them.

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Being too conspicuous will only make them wary and attack us as a group."

Emperor Tianxin nodded and said, "That's right. We should try our best to preserve ourselves and survive to the end. Only those who survive to the end will be victors."

Upon hearing this, the Space Dao Venerable said, "What you say makes sense. However, why do I feel that you are not very much looking forward to the new era?"

"Whether you have expectations or not is not important; what matters is living into the new era."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly: "As for the Dao Venerable's concern about not having enough nourishment to seal it away, aren't these Dao Venerable corpses enough?"

"Not enough." The Space Daoist shook his head and said, "Your refining and upgrading will consume a lot, and there are also many powerful figures in the entire Heavenly Court. These are not enough to support us in being sealed until the new era."
