In the Tianxuan Continent's concept, there are three steps to achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven: the first is to perfect the Tao, the second is to survive the Tao tribulation, and the third is to open the ladder to heaven and ascend instantly.
Due to various factors, it is generally believed that as long as one has gone through the Dao Tribulation, they can be considered as immortals. As for whether or not to ascend to heaven, it is nothing more than the difference between a celestial immortal and an earthly immortal.
For example, Quexian, his calamity has passed, but he chose to stay in the mainland.
Xie Chongyue failed three times against Xu Shiqing, and what he cared about most was that the so-called calamity did not come.
According to the world of immortal cultivation, this situation is bizarre. After all, you've already achieved the Dao, so how could you not face Dao tribulations? This is as absurd as completing three years of school and not receiving a diploma.
The prevailing opinion in the world of immortal cultivation was that something might be wrong with the Heavenly Dao, and it wasn't ruled out that this was due to the increasingly severe intrusion from outside the realm over the past two thousand years. As for the incompleteness of Xu Shiqing's Dao... it wasn't that no one had mentioned it, it was just that people didn't believe it.
The main thing is that Xu Shiqing's combat power is incomplete. If you say that his Taoism is incomplete, that's the same as saying that the current world of immortal cultivation is full of trash!
Would the monks admit it? Of course not!
Xie Chongyue: ...
He could only say, don't love me too much.
(Why do I feel like everyone in this world's immortal cultivation world is an Immortal King chef?)
(In order to make the immortal king smile, I spent a lot of money to hold the Lantern Festival, but the immortal king ended up chasing a mortal... What a melodramatic plot)
(…but Sergei is Soviet)
(His Soviet nationality bonus is so terrifying)
(Am I the only one who's bothered by Xu Shiqing's three attempts at enlightenment? Why was he only twenty-one when he first achieved enlightenment, took eight hundred and fifty-six years for the second, and one thousand and one hundred years for the third... and now, only four hundred and thirty-three years have passed, and he's trying for a fourth time? Why?)
(Oh my god, someone figured out the timeline so quickly?)
(I admire this guy's perseverance... If this mission wasn't related to my life and death, I would at least give him a rocket to encourage him)
The discussion in the barrage was in full swing. Xie Chongyue had no way to deal with these netizens with peculiar concerns. He found that although these people were not very focused, they were indeed thinking. With hundreds of millions of people thinking together, there were not only weird ideas, but also a lot of bad ideas.
He didn't think there was anything fishy about the timing of Xu Shiqing's enlightenment. At least he was sure that this matter was not the key.
Xie Chongyue thought that the world of immortal cultivation had written a lot about Xu Shiqing's three times of enlightenment, and many writers were supported by this.
It is recorded that when he was twenty-one years old, he was at the Yingjie stage and shook the nine provinces with one sword. He became famous throughout the world and was called a genius by his contemporaries. However, at the end of the same year, the heaven and earth moved strangely, and Xu Shiqing failed in his forced attempt to prove his way to ascension. His cultivation level was reversed and he fell to the peak of the Spirit Transformation.
The saying that youthful recklessness and inexperience lead to failure in attaining enlightenment is not without basis. Xu Shiqing is renowned for his ruthless swordsmanship. His sword is like frost under a cold moon, chilling to the bone. Those who witness it are often first amazed, then puzzled as to how such a young man could possess such a cold heart, so in tune with the essence of his weapon.
But then, eight hundred years later, Xu Shiqing had entered the world, single-handedly supporting the founding of the Fuguang Kingdom in troubled times, and then witnessed its demise. His sword had changed again, like a gentle spring breeze, flexible and light, like a soft branch that could easily withstand attack.
Xu Shiqing's changes were seen by everyone. He went from being tough to being gentle, and from being a young and vigorous boy to being introverted and gentle. This process of maturity made others believe that Xu Shiqing's second attempt at enlightenment would be successful.
What is shocking is that Xu Shiqing failed again.
The failure of the second attempt to prove the Dao was beyond everyone's expectations. Judging from the existing information, people at that time generally believed that on the night when the Fuguang Kingdom was destroyed, that is, when its national teacher Sergei died, he must have said something to Xu Shiqing, which caused the other party's Dao heart to be shaken, resulting in the failure of the second attempt to prove the Dao.
But what kind of words would cause the mind of a powerful person who has reached the peak of the Mahayana stage for the second time to be disturbed and even shaken to the point of shaking his foundation?
This is a mystery known only to the person involved. For thousands of years, too many cultivators have speculated secretly about things like secret techniques and love. Rumors eventually died down. Generation after generation, most of his peers did not reach his level, and his predecessors grew old. In this way, he was slowly the only one left at the top of the world of immortal cultivation.
Until another 1,100 years later, after a spring rain, Xu Shiqing popped out again, and his third journey of enlightenment and ascension began.
From this part of the record, Xie Chongyue saw the vague collapse between the lines of the recorder.
Over the past 1,900 years, Xu Shiqing achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven three times. Doesn't this reflect the reality that the world of immortal cultivation is declining for unknown reasons?
How could people not see such a genius being defeated time and time again, and imagine their own bleak and dismal end? This wasn't meanness, but the sorrow of the lips and teeth being cold!
So after failing to prove his truth for the third time, Xu Shiqing was besieged by both the good and evil forces in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
No, it could not be called an encirclement and suppression. It should be said that it was a massive pilgrimage. Countless monks were rushing towards the setting sun. Some might have come for his wealth and treasures, but more came to seek an answer.
Xie Chongyue felt a great sadness from this. There was no written record of the details of this encirclement and suppression, but since then, the world of immortal cultivation has never seen such a prosperous era with so many heroes gathering together again.
Many of those who returned committed suicide or went mad, and quite a few retired and disappeared from the public eye. It was also during this time that Xu Shiqing's name as a demon resounded throughout the Tianxuan Continent.
From the Immortal Lord Songhe to the demon leader Xu Banyao, two thousand years have passed, and all the old friends are gone, leaving the world desolate.
Perhaps this is the inevitable outcome for those who seek the truth.

The strategy team was more tactful in their words. After all, it was difficult to be too clear in the public channel of barrage, as there were too many things involved.
