Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 340 The Grand Finale, Great Luo Heaven

Li Changsheng continued his journey through the Black Sea.

Not long after, he saw the ancient Daoist's corpse again.

One by one, ancient Taoist masters perished in the Black Sea, their bodies drifting with the waves.

Li Changsheng collected these corpses, imbuing them with transcendent power. When he brought them back later, they would be a great tonic for Yang Wushang and the Five Great Saints.

As for himself, he no longer needs it.

His body, tempered by the Black Sea, has become even stronger.

He walked forward, unaffected by the dark waves.

One corpse after another was collected, and more and more ancient Daoist masters perished.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Changsheng finally saw light and arrived at the end of the Black Sea.

The white jade shone brightly, illuminating the darkness.

The road paved with white jade leads to an unknown direction.

On this shore, there are more than ten small black boats, which the Daoist masters must have used to cross the sea.

I just don't know why some Daoist masters' ships would be destroyed.

Stepping onto the white jade path, a gentle power seeps into the body.

A rich, transcendent power warmed Li Changsheng's entire body.

Li Changsheng walked along the Jade Road, undergoing its tempering.

His soul was gradually changing, as if it were about to transform and sublimate.

After traveling for a while longer, on the white jade road, Li Changsheng saw the Daoist's corpse again.

"These Dao Venerables must be fighting each other."

Li Changsheng examined the Daoist's corpse and found that he had been murdered.

They came in together to hunt down the Time Daoist, but unexpectedly, they ended up killing each other.

On the corpse, Li Changsheng saw various injuries caused by the Great Dao, including scars left by the Great Dao of Space.

On the corpse of one of the Daoist masters, there were even wounds left by the Heavenly Heart Emperor.

Li Changsheng wanted to quicken his pace, but the power of the white jade steps restricted him.

Although he still possessed all his cultivation and supernatural abilities, he could only travel a maximum of 100 meters with each step.

The white jade steps seemed to stretch endlessly.

Li Changsheng forged ahead with all his might, making leaps forward step by step.

After some time, they collected some more Daoist corpses.

However, he did not see the Heavenly Emperor or the other living Dao Venerables.

A dense white light suddenly emanated from the white jade steps.

In the void, a phantom figure appeared.

With a face and aura exactly like Li Changsheng, he blocked their path: "Fellow Daoist."

Li Changsheng remained calm, bowed, and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, you're not surprised to see me?" the illusory Li Changsheng said with a faint smile.

"There are countless methods, including transformations and illusions, and I have dabbled in them all," Li Changsheng said.

"Whatever you know, I know; whatever your memories are, I know. Is that not surprising?"

The illusory Li Changsheng laughed.

"Is this the path to transcendence, the path to becoming a celestial being?"

Li Changsheng calmly asked, "If that's the case, then I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens."

"Fellow Daoist's comprehension of the Great Luo Celestial Immortal realm truly surprises me."

The illusory Li Changsheng said, "I originally thought it would be a Dao Venerable who embarked on the path of the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal, but I didn't expect it to be you, fellow Daoist."

"Oh? You created this place?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

I guess so.

The illusory Li Changsheng sighed softly, "I'm very curious, how do you know about the Great Luo Celestial Immortal? There has never been a record of a Great Luo Celestial Immortal in this world."

"Don't you know all my memories?" Li Changsheng's lips curled slightly.

"Ha." The illusory Li Changsheng chuckled, "Because the path of the Great Luo Celestial Immortal must have been created by a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, I cannot fathom the other Great Luo Celestial Immortals."

Li Changsheng did not answer, but instead asked, "Where is the Heavenly Heart Emperor?"

"I don't know." The illusory Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "If you can become a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, you will be able to see it."

"What if we can't achieve the Great Luo status?" Li Changsheng asked rhetorically.

"Then, stay here forever. Once you embark on the path of transcendence, there is no turning back," said the illusory Li Changsheng.

"Then you shouldn't get in my way anymore; I should keep going."

Li Changsheng stepped forward.

The white jade road stretched endlessly, and the illusory Li Changsheng followed him at a leisurely pace, no longer uttering a sound.

Li Changsheng was also somewhat curious about this guy, but he was too lazy to cause trouble.

Whatever this thing is, as long as it doesn't hinder my journey, it's fine.

One real, one illusory, two Li Changshengs walk side by side.

On Baiyu Road, there were no other figures besides them.

After walking for a while longer, the end of Baiyu Road was still nowhere in sight.

He looked at both sides of Baiyu Road; it was dark and empty, with nothing there.

"Do you know anything about celestial beings?"

Finally, Li Changsheng spoke first.

"I know a little," said the illusory Li Changsheng.

"Where did you find out?" Li Changsheng asked.

"here."

The illusory Li Changsheng pointed to the white jade road and said, "When this place first appeared, it manifested the methods of a Great Luo Celestial Immortal."

"Then why didn't you succeed?" Li Changsheng asked. "Endless years have passed; where have you reached?"

"Because I can't get through here." The illusory Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "But I also want to know what kind of demeanor a Great Luo Celestial Immortal is."

"You've already arrived here, why can't you get through?" Li Changsheng asked, looking surprised.

To be able to meet him on this white jade road, he must have achieved something.

But why does this person say that he can't get through this?

"Because I'm already dead."

The illusory Li Changsheng shrugged, speaking in an indifferent tone.

Li Changsheng was slightly taken aback and looked at him in astonishment.

The illusory Li Changsheng laughed, "When the Great Dao is destroyed, I will die. Now I am just a remnant of my spirit, guarding this white jade road."

"With our cultivation level, even a lingering remnant should be able to be resurrected, right?" Li Changsheng said.

At his level, even if his soul is destroyed and his Great Dao collapses, a wisp of his spirit can return after a period of gestation.

The illusory Li Changsheng laughed: "They can't come back to life. Some losers can only slumber in history and can never be resurrected."

Li Changsheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Now that you've walked this path, do you know where this white jade road ends?"

"Do you really want to reach the end?"

The illusory Li Changsheng sighed softly and stopped in his tracks: "Sometimes, not transcending might be a good thing."

"Hmm?" Li Changsheng frowned. "What do you mean?"

Rumble

The white jade road swayed, and the illusory Li Changsheng radiated white jade light.

The illusory figure disappeared, replaced by a ball of white jade light.

White light burst forth all around, and the Heavenly Heart Emperor and the Space Dao Venerable appeared before Li Changsheng.

"No worries, space." Li Changsheng's face lit up with joy.

But then they saw the Heavenly Emperor and the Space Daoist, their faces filled with murderous intent, mercilessly attacking Li Changsheng.

The power of the Great Dao trembled; it was the real them!

Li Changsheng was stunned. He raised his right palm slightly, and then, in a state of semi-transcendence, he dissolved all the Great Dao.

"What's wrong with you all?" Li Changsheng's gaze turned icy as he looked at the white jade ball of light. "Did you do this?"

A voice emanated from within the white jade light: "No, this was also the dilemma I faced back then. As a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, you've severed all ties. Don't you think you haven't cleanly severed your past and present self enough?"

"The river of time cannot truly see you, but you are still within it, only blurred."

Li Changsheng was taken aback; it was indeed so.

Although his past self was blurry and unclear, and others could not perceive it, he himself could still sense it.

Emperor Tianxin and the others still remember Li Changsheng; he still has a past.

The white jade orb said softly, "Back then, I also walked the path to becoming a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, just like you, but I was stuck at the last step."

"What I want to sever is the connection of the entire world, the connection with all the Great Daos."

"If I were to do it, all living beings would perish. I have given up."

"The power of transcendence here has corrupted me; I am left with only a sliver of remnant will."

"If you do not sever it, you will be corrupted by the power of transcendence, just like me, until only a wisp of remnant remains, trapped here forever."

Li Changsheng frowned: "No, transcendence doesn't mean severing everything from the past."

The Three Pure Ones had countless disciples. After they attained enlightenment, their disciples were still doing well.

Moreover, he also had memories of the Three Pure Ones.

If everyone else has forgotten and forgotten, then why can I still remember?

The path to becoming a Great Immortal is definitely not about completely annihilating oneself or eradicating the past!

"Kill them, then destroy the Heavenly Court, and you will reach the end of the path to transcendence, truly transcending it."

The voice of the white jade orb rang out again: "I couldn't do it back then, I wonder if you can."

The Heavenly Heart Emperor and the Space Dao Venerable attacked once again.

The power of semi-transcendence spread, freezing the two of them in place.

Li Changsheng looked at them, then glanced at the endless white jade road.

"Go ahead and do it. Haven't you always put yourself first in your life?"

The white jade ball of light said again, "Then let's continue. Kill them, achieve your own enlightenment, and let me see a true Grand Immortal."

Li Changsheng shook his head and sat down cross-legged: "You're wrong. The path to becoming a Great Luo Celestial Immortal shouldn't be like this."

"Shouldn't it be like this?" The white jade ball of light was taken aback. "But back then, this was exactly what I faced."

"You say you need to annihilate all living beings in the world to transcend?"

Li Changsheng looked at the white jade ball of light, his expression calm: "Then who are you? Is the whole world connected to you?"

"I am the spirit of the Great Dao, and also one of the billions of living beings."

The white jade ball of light said, "The appearance of the Transcendental Realm has allowed me to glimpse a higher realm, so I have made it manifest."

The Great Way!

Li Changsheng was startled.

It is not a single Great Dao, but the source of the Great Dao of the entire world, the origin of everything.

It is the unification of the endless Great Dao, and also the result of the thoughts of billions of living beings.

No wonder, it's related to the whole world.

If one can transcend by severing all ties with the past, then the spirit of the Great Dao must indeed annihilate all living beings.

However, Li Changsheng did not believe that the path to becoming a Great Immortal was to be taken this way.

He closed his eyes and said, "I have glimpsed the future. They are well. I am not here."

"Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future..."

"The past has been severed, but not completely..."

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged on the white jade path, murmuring softly.

The Spirit of the Great Dao did not urge them, and the Heavenly Heart Emperor and the Space Dao Venerable remained imprisoned.

The power of the white jade road was eroding Li Changsheng.

This time, it's not a transformation, but a form of corrosion.

His vitality was fading, his body was decaying, and even immortality could not withstand the erosion of the power of transcendence.

In his mind, images of living beings kept appearing, urging him to sever ties with the past.

Sever ties with the past, annihilate everything, and you will attain transcendence!

"Past, Present, Future".

"Viewing the present through the lens of the past is the future; viewing the present through the lens of the future is the past."

"Now, future, past..."

Li Changsheng kept muttering, and the spirit of the Great Dao trembled: "You are about to die. If you don't make a decision soon, you will suffer the same fate as me."

"Why not take action, sever all ties, and achieve the status of a Great Luo Celestial Immortal?"

"You have become a Great Celestial Immortal, transcending this realm, and you will surely have the ability to recreate everything."

The voice of the Great Dao Spirit entered Li Changsheng's ears.

Recreate everything?

Could it be that the future that Emperor Tianxin and the others saw was created by him after he killed them?

The imprisoned Emperor Tianxin also spoke, "Chang Sheng, make your move. Once you have transcended, you can rescue me."

Li Changsheng opened his eyes, but looked at the Spirit of the Great Dao: "Why didn't you do this back then?"

The spirit of the Great Dao fell silent.

"Recreating everything is just your guess, and you're not even sure."

Li Changsheng's expression was cold: "The so-called Great Luo Celestial Immortal never needs to sever ties with the past, because I know of the existence of Great Luo Celestial Immortals."

"If they severed ties with the past, then I would not be able to remember them, and they would not be able to have disciples to pass on their deeds."

The Spirit of the Great Dao asked in a deep voice, "Then how does one proceed on the Path to Great Luo?"

"I have severed the past, the present, and half of the future; now it is time to sever the complete future."

Li Changsheng channeled all his power into a semi-transcendent sword, which he then slashed at himself: "Great Luo Celestial Immortals have no future; you yourself are the future!"

"Immortality..."

"Are you crazy, gambling with yourself?"

The Spirit of the Great Dao, the Heavenly Heart Emperor, and the Space Dao Venerable never expected that Li Changsheng would commit suicide.

Buzz

The sword of semi-transcendence pierced through the body, yet left no injury.

A wisp of pure energy flew out from his body and transformed into three figures.

Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing Daoist!

"I am grateful to the three fellow Daoists for their assistance in my attainment of Dao." Li Changsheng bowed respectfully.

The Three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, transformed into azure light, and entered Li Changsheng's body: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal realm!"

The three bodies enter the body: past, present, and future, the three bodies become one!

The bottleneck of the Great Luo Celestial Immortal dissipated, and the power of semi-transcendence transformed into the power of complete transcendence at this moment.

The white jade road disappeared, and everything around him was descending. Li Changsheng saw a celestial palace, the place that the Time Dao Venerable had spied on.

Below the celestial palace lies a chaotic starry sky, where endless chaotic energy nurtures countless universes.

Inside the celestial palace, three old Taoist priests sat cross-legged on futons, calmly watching him.

"Greetings, Three Pure Ones." Li Changsheng stepped into the Immortal Palace and bowed respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist, once you achieve the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal status, you shall come with us to reside in the Great Luo Heaven."

Taiqing Daozu smiled slightly and said.

"I will follow the Dao Ancestor's arrangements." Li Changsheng said calmly. A fourth futon appeared in the Immortal Palace, and he sat down cross-legged. "However, there are still matters to be taken care of in the universe below."

"Great Luo Heavenly Immortals are unrestrained and free; Fellow Daoist, please do as you please."

The Jade Purity Dao Ancestor calmly said, "We are waiting for our fellow Daoists in the Great Luo Heaven."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor Yuqing. Was this place of transcendence left behind by the three Dao Ancestors?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Every universe and starry sky has a Great Luo Field, which is an opportunity for billions of living beings to transcend."

The Shangqing Dao Ancestor explained: "It's a pity that most living beings cannot come into contact with it, and those who can are filled with fear and cannot comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Luo."

"So, that white jade road is actually meant to help those who have reached the Great Luo Heaven Immortal realm to force them to commit suicide." Li Changsheng understood.

"That's right. If you can't kill yourself, you can kill those billions of lives. Although you can't transcend them, you can at least make them let go."

Taiqing Daozu said, "It's a pity that many who have killed billions of lives still haven't attained enlightenment in their own worlds, and continue to create and destroy worlds, only to be destroyed by those who come after them."

"Dao Ancestor has put in a lot of effort. I'll head back now and go to the Great Luo Heaven later to seek out Dao Ancestor and listen to his teachings," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Even as the celestial palace vanished, Li Changsheng could sense that the ultimate destination of the Great Luo was the Great Luo Heaven!

That was a place built jointly by the Three Pure Ones and all the Great Luo Heavenly Immortals.

In the blink of an eye, Li Changsheng returned to the cosmos.

The white jade path dissipated, and the spirit of the Great Dao manifested, still a lingering remnant.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Space Daoist stared at him in a daze.

"You succeeded?" the Spirit of the Great Dao exclaimed in delight. "A Grand Luo Celestial Immortal—how magnificent is that?"

"Before I transcended, when I used the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, the Three Pure Ones Dao Ancestors had already sensed it and sent down their avatars to transform this place," Li Changsheng said.

"The Three Pure Ones? One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones?" Emperor Tianxin was slightly taken aback: "Do they really exist?"

"They are the Dao Ancestors who passed down the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal Path, and I am merely following their path."

Li Changsheng explained, "Now only chaos remains, and everything will repeat itself. Spirit of the Great Dao, are you still willing to become the Spirit of the Great Dao?"

"I can be resurrected?" the spirit of the Great Dao exclaimed in surprise.

"Alright, you can continue to be your Great Dao Spirit, but you don't need to be obsessed with the path of the Great Luo Celestial Immortal," Li Changsheng said.

Although he succeeded, the spirit of the Great Dao bears witness.

But if you can't comprehend your future self and can't achieve unity of the three bodies, even slashing yourself with a sword won't help.

That would only lead to your own death.

"Let everything repeat itself, Wuyou, this is Xian'er."

With a wave of his hand, Li Changsheng summoned countless streams of energy from the void, which coalesced into the form of Bai Xian'er.

Bai Xian'er is currently in a deep sleep, which is the perfect time for the story to repeat itself, awaiting her revival.

Li Changsheng flicked his finger, and countless Great Daos bloomed, repairing the spirit of the Great Dao and also repairing the Great Dao of Longevity.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Space Daoist sensed the Great Dao of Immortality and attained eternal life.

Countless immortals in Heaven also attained eternity.

The Heavenly Heart Emperor and the Space Dao Venerable have returned. As for the other ancient Dao Venerables, Li Changsheng felt that they were best suited as nourishment.

Let the dust of history be forgotten forever, and never to reappear.

Those Daoist masters in the Heavenly Court should be dealt with by the Heavenly Heart Emperor.

The spirit of the Great Dao returned, propelling the primordial chaos to gestate, and a new era officially began to evolve.

……

After countless ages, the hazy Great Luo Heaven floated above the endless chaotic universe.

Li Changsheng manipulated the void, conjuring a fragment of time: "Will the three of you participate in this?"

"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go together." Shangqing Daoist smiled slightly and released a stream of pure energy.

Taiqing and Yuqing also released a burst of pure energy: "Then let's see which young friend will have this opportunity."
