As a sect patriarch, one should be majestic and renowned throughout the world. However, Li Yuan, the Grand Elder of Tianqi Sect, was known across the land for his incompetence.
In the Qi Refi...
Chapter 235: Finale (Part 2)
A gentle female voice came from the pure white life light, and she said with emotion: "Even after sinking for thousands of years, I still can't escape your eyes.
Now that I have returned to my position, the Heavenly Palace will not miss this opportunity. I also hope that fellow Taoists Sun and Moon can help me."
“Haha, you are good at calculating. If you want me to help you, you still have to meet the same conditions as before.” True Lord Sun spoke again.
Xuan Ming chuckled and said, "Things are different now, I have no choice but to accept it. Then I will hold a banquet for 100 lords at the top of Taixu Mountain, and invite you all to discuss the fate of heaven and earth together!"
"Okay, then I and Taiyin will be waiting for you two!"
The Sun Lord laughed loudly, and the scorching red sun rose in the east, shining through the thick dark clouds. All the strange phenomena in heaven and earth were obscured by the grand sunlight and returned to peace.
The two spoke without reservation, and all the True Lords who heard the Banquet of a Hundred Lords were shocked. The Heavenly Palace, and even the order of heaven and earth, will change at this banquet!
True Lord Xiao Lei bowed, then fled to the sky for nine days and returned to the Thunder Palace.
The halo around Xuanming gradually dimmed, and a barefoot goddess walked out from the light of destiny. She had thousands of strands of silver hair and a pair of divine eyes that saw the lives of all living beings in the world.
She arrived above the Qi Ling Sect. All the disciples in the mountain, from the Sect Leader Wang Chaochen to the ordinary errand disciples, bowed down without hesitation, saying, "Welcome the True Lord!"
On the Law Enforcement Peak, Li Yuan bowed and saluted, "Welcome to the True Lord!"
Xuan Ming's eyes swept across the disciples in the mountain, looked at Li Yuan, and chuckled softly: "You are so bold to change my Tianqi Taoist lineage and turn the clan law upside down."
Li Yuan stood up straight, the peach blossoms behind him were still falling, he remained silent.
Xuanming was not angry, he just stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance, the new territory of Xuanyuan shook, and all the Xuanming status on the Siming Sky Stone disappeared.
"The Xuanyuan Realm is the product of my many years of hard work, and was created by the great Taixu. Now that I have returned, I will take this realm back.
Considering your contribution to my chess piece for many years, you should sever your soul and take back your true self."
Li Yuan sighed upon hearing this and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as the True Lord wishes. I have already merged my soul with the world. The Xuanyuan world has its own will of heaven. The master of Xuanyuan is neither me nor the True Lord."
“Oh? A Jindan Yuanshen can also merge realms?” Xuan Ming shook his head and laughed, “Unless you become a True Lord and your Yuanshen turns into a True Spirit that is immortal, then you can take my Xuan Yuan.
But there is no possibility for any new True Lord to be certified in the world.
Now that I have returned, Yuan Shui must have also returned. It is not easy to get along with her.
”
Li Yuan's face was calm, and he was not grateful for the generosity of the True Lord in front of him. He just said in a deep voice: "For more than four thousand years, the small Qi Ling Sect has shouldered the mission and passed on the Taoist tradition. Who knows how many rises and falls there have been?
Everything I have today was bestowed by the True Lord.
But I have only one heart that dares not disobey.
I hope you will stop, the new and ancient worlds have already merged, and it is too late for everything."
"What?" Xuan Ming cried out in surprise and pointed to the sky from afar. The light of life suddenly appeared, and the new world of Xuanyuan appeared in the eyes of all living beings in the world for the first time.
The edge of the Xuanyuan New Territory has merged with the ancient realm. The Xuanyuan New Territory can no longer move and can only stay above the Nanjue Continent.
Seeing this scene, Master Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and finally said: "Even so, it still cannot change the trend of heaven and earth!
You are just an ant with narrow vision. It is not your fault. I will allow you to go."
Xuanming Zhenjun's patience had obviously run out, and there was a hint of oppression in her words.
Li Yuan replied: "I'm afraid that it won't be as you wish. I've been worried about Qi Ling for a long time and I can't get away."
Hearing this, Xuan Ming raised his hand and slowly extended a finger, saying without emotion: "I want to re-establish the Tianqi Immortal Sect. Since you have given up your life, then disappear between heaven and earth."
The light of destiny flickered on his fingertips, and he shot towards Li Yuan slowly, erasing his figure without any care. His soul dispersed between heaven and earth, and countless peach blossoms fell from the sky in Qi Ling Wanli, like rain, turning all into dead trees.
At this moment, all the peach trees on the mountain turned into dead and rotten trees, standing black and bare in the mountain.
Seeing this scene, all the Qi Ling disciples were shocked. Wang Chaochen said in a trembling voice: "Master, Li Yuan is the meritorious person of Qi Ling for hundreds of generations, and he is the ancestor in the hearts of tens of thousands of disciples like us!
True Lord, you..."
Xuan Ming had no intention of paying any attention to him. In the eyes of the high and mighty True Lord, the Golden Core True Man was nothing more than an ant, and all living beings below the Golden Core would not appear in their eyes.
As for whether to submit or not, those with different intentions will never be able to cause any trouble under the majesty of the True Lord, and can only bow their heads and welcome him respectfully.
Xuan Ming's body was lit up with a brilliant light of destiny. This grand column of light reached up to the nine heavens and down to the nine underworlds. Her majestic and mysterious voice chanted between heaven and earth.
"The Spirit of Destiny, summons you to return.
When the hardware is put back in place, the magnetism will come naturally.
The Weiyang Palace was divided into two parts and then united into one.
The Yuan water sank, and Gui and Ren came to the front.
..."
As her voice fell, one fate after another intertwined, and the fallen or lost True Lords in the world were drawn out one by one by the entanglements of fate.
True Lord Wei Tu and True Lord Yuan Ci appeared and stood silently on both sides of Xuan Ming. The spirits of the True Lords in the eleven immortal sects of the Nine Continents flew up to the nine heavens and headed for the Taixu Heavenly Palace.
"My two Taoist friends, come back to the Heavenly Palace with me."
The handsome Zhenjun Wei Tu was wearing a long robe and a feather crown. His pair of phoenix eyes swept across the area below him. He asked in a clear and pleasant voice, "Is the chess piece gone just like that?
I was distracted at first and thought it had extraordinary abilities, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Facing the cold and gloomy Yuanci Zhenjun, whose body was covered with Xuanmagnetism, sneered: "I am just a chess piece chosen by Daoist Xuanming. Zhenjun controls the chess, and all living beings have no chance."
Xuan Ming said to the people below him: "You are here to re-establish the Tianqi sect and redefine the Taoist system of the Immortal Sect."
As soon as the words fell, the three True Lords disappeared.
Only a group of Qi Ling disciples with dazed expressions were left.
Li Hanxing murmured: "Is this a blessing or a curse?"
Bai Ziyao's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered: "For the Qi Ling Sect, being promoted to a sect and being in charge of the immortal way is naturally a great joy.
However, Qi Ling’s ancestor is not the True Lord of the Tianqi Immortal Sect.”
The group of true practitioners looked back at the many Qi training disciples behind them. Most of them had shocked expressions, some even showed ecstasy on their faces, only a few disciples had sad faces.
Wang Fengyun said sadly: "It seems that Qi Ling has become a sect, but in fact all the disciples have been killed, and the life and death of the sect are controlled by the master.
The days of being like a dragon are a thing of the past, just like this dead peach tree, which will never be reborn again."
Li Yiyan's eyes were filled with desolation, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit. He said with lifeless eyes: "It's like this again, and it's like this again. Years of hard work, the elders of the sect, turned to ashes in an instant.
True Lord! True Lord! This world is all planned by the True Lord! He will not allow us to change even the slightest bit! "
Wang Chaochen finally came to his senses from his shock and said, "No matter what, we must offer sacrifices to the ancestor first!
All Qifeng disciples, listen to the order and immediately perform the sacrificial ceremony. The entire sect, from top to bottom, will offer sacrifices to the ancestor Li Yuan, remembering his kindness forever and recording it in the sect history so that it will never be forgotten! "
The disciples looked at each other for a moment, but they had no choice but to obey the order and flew to various places in the mountains.
…
In the Fusang Square of the Qi Ling Sect, all the disciples were dressed in white and offered sacrifices to the throne with the words "The Spirit of Ancestor Li Yuan" written on it. All the true practitioners were moved to tears. The old ancestor gave up everything for the wish of everyone being like a dragon, and even though he died under the great power of the True Lord, the true practitioners who saw the ugly order of heaven and earth were all saddened.
Green rain fell from the sky. Gui Yin, wearing a costume, appeared in Fusang Square. Looking at the dark memorial tablet, he sighed softly:
My heart is like a dead tree, and my body is like an untied boat.
The road is as vast as the blue sky, and we cannot escape.
The heart is not made of wood or stone, so how can it not feel something? I hesitate and hold my tongue, not daring to speak.
A lonely grave thousands of miles away, with no one to express my sorrow.
It is hard to tell my feelings to the world, only the blue sky and the thick earth will know.
I respectfully send off my fellow Taoist and may his soul return to heaven and earth."
In the drizzling rain, Wang Chaochen looked up, listening to Guiyin's words, his heart filled with sorrow, but he had no way to express it, so he could only let out a miserable cry.
"Respectfully send off the ancestor, and may his soul return to heaven and earth!"
All the True Cultivators behind him shouted in unison: "Farewell, Old Ancestor, your soul will return to heaven and earth!"
The mist and rain are hazy, and the morning dream of green mountains is confusing. I can't see the joys and sorrows of the world, and the cries of sorrow are all scattered in the wind and rain.
At this moment, the myriad gates above the nine heavens reopened, hundreds of kings gathered, immortal lights shone, and the truth of the great way was revealed.
At this moment, in the netherworld, the fighting continues, and countless wronged souls and evil spirits are fighting for those ten lives.
Li Yuan, who was in the midst of the battle between hundreds of millions of wronged souls, sensed that Li Yuan's soul had been torn apart, and for the first time, horror appeared on his cold face. He said in shock, "How could this happen?
You are Yuanshui Jindan Zhenren, you have countless clones, how could you die?"
"Zheng~"
A shocking sword sound shook the Nine Netherworlds. The sharp golden sword intent killed countless wronged souls and evil spirits. A figure appeared in front of Li Yuan and said, "Since there is death, there is life. The fate of reincarnation can be transcended!"
Li Yuan raised his head, his long hair covering his eyes, but still allowing him to clearly see the sword intent surrounding the tall man in front of him.
“This is… [Jin Sutian]!
You are Master Cui..."
The Ghost King, standing with a sword in hand, interrupted him, "This fate is the only chance of survival!"
Li Yuan suddenly stood up and said fiercely, "Okay!"
Without saying a word, his long hair flew, and he was drawn into countless ghosts and evil spirits as he rushed towards the ten destinies hanging in the center of the underworld.
Above the Nine Heavens, in the Taixu Palace, hundreds of monarchs gathered. No matter they were True Lords who appeared in the world or True Lords who had "fallen", they all came from Taixu and went to their respective positions.
In the front of the center of the hall are four deity tablets, engraved with the four images of the sun, moon, and thunder, symbolizing the majesty of the four masters of the heavenly palace.
Taiyin, Taiyang, and Xuanming Xiaolei appeared on the throne at the same time. Nearly a hundred True Lords all bowed and saluted, saying, "Welcome the four Lords!"
Sun Master replied, "Today, the four paths have come together, a rare event in a thousand years, so I invite you all to come and help decide the great affairs of heaven and earth."
Xuan Ming continued, “The world has reached its peak, and you all understand that it is impossible for a new True Lord to be born in the world.
If we sit idly by and watch the heaven and earth go from birth to death, even if we are true kings, we will perish along with the heaven and earth.
Therefore, Xiao Lei and I will not hesitate to sacrifice our bodies to supplement the Dao and improve the heaven and earth.
I have stolen a strand of your destiny just to replenish the origin of heaven and earth, I hope you will not blame me."
All the True Lords understood that the four main lords seemed to have reached an agreement, and behind the four main lords were the wills of many True Lords. Even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to endure it.
Taiyin continued, “You should all know that there are only three ways to repair the heaven and earth and delay their collapse.
The first one is naturally to find a new source of heaven and earth, but every source of heaven and earth requires launching a plane war against the other world.
The second way is to fill it with the true spirit essence of us True Lords!
The third option is to annihilate all living things and restart the world.
”
Master Xiao Lei said: "The essence that Xuan Ming and I have supplemented can only support a hundred thousand years at most. When the world declines, we will surely run out of energy and die together. I am afraid that even we will not be able to protect the world."
"Then annihilate all living things and restart the world."
An ancient True Lord said calmly: "Time is long, and this is not the first time I have experienced this. This method is still the safest."
"Yes, I agree with this approach too!"
Many True Lords echoed this, after all, the life and death of all living beings had little to do with them. As True Lords, they only needed to sleep for a period of time before reviving and returning, and they were still the supreme True Lords!
"I'm sorry to disappoint you all, this method no longer works!" Xuan Ming sighed, "The origin of heaven and earth has been lost too much. Even if we absorb and return all living beings, it is not enough to replenish and restart heaven and earth.
We only have the first two options!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere among the True Lords changed subtly in an instant.
No matter which path the first two take, the True Lord will die!
There is no such thing as the fall of a True Lord between heaven and earth, but if they leave Taixu and enter another realm of heaven and earth, without the support of the power of heaven and earth, they will no longer be immortal!
And using the True Lord's true spiritual origin to supplement the origin of heaven and earth is even more impossible. Once the heaven and earth are integrated, they will completely lose their self-will and become a part of heaven and earth.
For a moment, all the True Lords were silent.
Sun Master smiled and said, "You all know that in reality only the first path is feasible.
Start the war of planes, with true cultivators as soldiers, true people as generals, and true monarchs as commanders, conquer the planes and seize the source of heaven and earth to complete our planes! "
…
In the land of Qi Ling, on Fusang Square, the drizzle gradually turned into heavy rain. Thunder roared above the nine heavens, shocking all the Qi Ling disciples to look up at the sky.
Thunder fell and struck the dead tree, and the dead peach tree came to life again. Wisps of new vitality spread throughout Qi Ling, and all the Yuanshui seeds that had been scattered in all parts of the world returned.
All the disciples who saw this scene were surprised, but they saw the reincarnation level rising under the earth, the Yuanshui level showing the Nine Heavens, the light of Xuanming also moved with it, and the wood virtue in the Xuanyuan new realm also blended with it.
Several True Lords in the Heavenly Palace also lowered their heads and looked at Qi Ling in surprise.
Master Yuanshui, who had already returned to his position but was still weak, was startled. He felt that his Yuanshui level was declining!
True Lord Xuanming and True Lord Lunhui were also surprised, but they saw a touch of green light appear in the sky above the Xuanyuan Realm, dyeing the sky and the earth, and a brand new avenue breath spread out.
Sun's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "This is... a new avenue born from the will of heaven and earth, and it is the fundamental avenue!"
A voice that was familiar to Wei Tu and Xuan Ming sounded, and a figure appeared in front of the Hundred Lords of Tiangong.
"My name is Li Yuan, nice to meet you all!"
"You're not dead yet!"
Many True Lords were very surprised, but when they saw Xuan Ming's surprised expression, they realized that this chess piece had jumped out of their calculations and was no longer a sentient being!
Li Yuan laughed and replied: "Xuan Ming deceived you all. The reason why the origin of heaven and earth is insufficient is because Xuan Ming took away a part of it and created the Xuan Yuan New World!
Xuanming wants to ascend to a position above the True Lord and become the Great God of Heaven and Earth."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the True Lords naturally guessed this in their hearts, and they all turned around to look at Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming did not get angry but laughed and said, "How could you all believe the words of this ant?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and tried to wipe it away again.
But this time, Li Yuan was calm and composed in the light of destiny, with a green canopy rising and endless vitality. He smiled and replied: "If you want to survive the business of heaven and earth, you must get good fortune.
I am willing to give up the immortal essence of Yuanshui, in order to be in accordance with the will of Xuanyuan Heaven, and to obtain reincarnation in the underworld. With the life of Yuanshui and the movement of Xuanming, I will harmonize the Five Elements and create a new destiny.
Although my power is small, I can create a great Tao, like the descendants of Tai Chi, whose power is small but the Tao is great, immortal and indestructible, and their luck is inexhaustible.
Although I do not have the power of a True Lord, I have been recognized by heaven and earth, and have been ordered to create. When I perform great deeds and create heaven and earth, it will be the time for the True Lord of Creation to return to his position!"
"The Great Way of Creation!"
Taiyin and Taiyang looked at each other, smiled, and looked at Xuanming, "Daoyou, your chess piece finally jumped out of this chess game of heaven and earth!
Li Yuan smiled and said, “It’s not that I won, but fate should belong to all living beings in heaven and earth.
Now that Xuanming has left, why should he return?
I have now attained the status of immortality, and through the years, I have passed on the new realm of Xuanyuan and the Taoist tradition of Qiling, and everything will be inherited naturally!
After thousands of years, everyone will be like a dragon, and the world will be created!"
