Since the creation of the void, there have only been nine fairy realms. They stand at the top of the heavens, overlooking all the worlds.
In every immortal world, there exists a destiny system, which are:
The Sanqing Taoist Palace, the Divine Court, the Demon King's Palace, the Lingshan Pure Land, the Hongmeng Heaven, the Heavenly Court, the Human Temple, the Hell, and the already extinct Tianming Sect.
In the Nine Directions Destiny Sect, some forces have produced more than one bearer of destiny, and are exceptionally powerful.
There is no need to say much about the Sanqing Taoist Palace, as the Three Pure Ones are all the realms of destiny.
Others like Lingshan Pure Land, the Buddha who left behind the Tathagata Palm is the one who carries the destiny, and there is another ancient Buddha who is also in the realm of destiny, and that ancient Buddha is older than the Buddha.
Of course, they have all disappeared and no one knows where they are.
Looking at the entire void, only the Nine Netherworlds can be compared with these nine immortal realms.
The essence of Jiuyou is actually not inferior to the fairyland, but it is very different from the fairyland.
Worlds like the Sanqing Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm can become immortal worlds and the origin of the Great Dao because the people born here carry the destiny, give back to the world, and upgrade the world.
But Jiuyou is different. When it was born, it possessed an essence no less than that of the immortal world. It was not achieved through acquired promotion. Moreover, Jiuyou is immortal. Even if it is destroyed by a supreme master, it will one day reappear in some corner of the void.
In addition, Jiuyou is the filth of the void and the darkness of the heavens, and has nothing to do with "immortality" at all. Therefore, when calculating the number of immortal realms in the void, Jiuyou is generally not included and is not included in the calculation.
Jiuyou doesn't want to play with the fairy world. Except for invading the heavens, Jiuyou's demon rarely deals with normal creatures.
But Jiuyou should never be underestimated. Its essence is naturally comparable to the fairyland. Among the Jiuyou demon clan, there have been more than one people who carry the destiny. The overall strength is extremely powerful.
Among the nine immortal realms, Zhou Qing was born in the Xuanhuang Realm. In the past, he had more time dealing with the Sanqing Realm. In the Taiyi Realm, he at least knew a Taoist named Fuyun. As for the other six immortal realms, he only knew basic information and had no contact with them.
Among them, the demon world and the human world are both ethnic realms, ruled by the demon race and the human race respectively. These two races are the absolute supreme in their respective worlds.
The Buddhist world and the earth world are the realms of Taoism. In these two worlds, various races coexist and each leads the way, but in terms of Taoism, each is dominant. The former is the only Buddhist sect, while the latter is the netherworld and the ghost world.
The underworld is not only populated by ghosts, and it is not a world that one can only go to after death. Living people, gods, demons, etc. can also live and reproduce in the underworld, but the environment there is extremely suitable for ghost practice.
In the heaven, most people are of noble birth, such as the Holy Spirit, various natural spirits, and star spirits. They are born powerful, but the human race and other ethnic groups also reproduce in the heaven, and their strength is not weak. There, all kinds of magic compete with each other, and various sects flourish, which is quite brilliant.
The Hongmeng Realm is quite special; it is the territory of chaotic life forms and void beasts.
In chaos, life will be born. They are naturally powerful and possess all kinds of terrifying magical powers. In ancient times, a chaotic life named Hongmeng carried the destiny, and eventually the Hongmeng world was formed.
The chaotic life that originally wandered in chaos has since then had a fixed world to live in.
The void beasts were later absorbed by the chaotic life forms.
Chaotic life forms are extremely rare and cannot reproduce in normal ways, so the Hongmeng Realm has the smallest population among the nine immortal realms.
However, the strength of this world is not weak at all.
Chaos life is even more powerful than most holy spirits in terms of strength, and its quality greatly makes up for the lack of quantity.
Later, the void beast clan was absorbed, and the strength of the Hongmeng Realm was greatly enhanced.
The void beasts were somewhat similar to the chaotic life forms, except that the latter were rarer and more powerful, but the former were definitely not weak either.
Zhou Qing once possessed several golden fingers that could transform him into alien beast clones. This alien beast refers to the void beast. From the performance of those golden fingers, one can get a glimpse of the details of this clan.
Now, the powerful beings from the eight immortal realms and various sects of destiny have all come to the Xuanhuang Realm one after another, and no one is absent.
It can be said that any Tianming Taoist sect could not remain calm after learning the news of the Tianming Sect's demise. They were extremely curious and could not ignore the matter at all.
It can be said that all the sects of destiny are aware of the seriousness of the matter and are rarely willing to join forces rather than fight alone.
After all the people from the eight immortal realms arrived, they gathered together to discuss the affairs of the Tianming Sect.
Zhou Qing, the current prominent Heavenly Master in Xuanhuang Realm, was also invited.
The meeting place is just outside Tianxu.
A total of twelve Heavenly Lords including Zhou Qing gathered here. This lineup was truly earth-shattering.
Each of the Three Pure Ones Taoist Temples came with a Heavenly Master, while the other Tianming Taoist sects only sent one person to attend the meeting, so there were twelve people in total.
Other Tianming Taoist sects that have produced more than one person at the Tianming realm are still relatively united and have not split up like the Sanqing Taoist Palace.
In the Buddhist world, the inheritance of ancient Buddhas and the inheritance of the Buddha are both in the Lingshan Pure Land. They are very harmonious and not clearly divided. So there is naturally no need to have two representatives.
The twelve Heavenly Lords stood on the clouds and looked at each other. In fact, most of them were strangers to each other. After all, there was not much contact between the various immortal realms before, and some of them had simply gone into seclusion.
Zhou Qing was very curious about the celestial masters in the fairy world, especially the human world and the Hongmeng world.
The former was because Zhou Qing was also a human, so he was naturally close to it. As for the latter, it was because Zhou Qing had never seen a chaotic life form before.
However, these representatives of the fairy world are undoubtedly great celestial masters in the Yuan realm, and they are the people closest to the Taoist master in the heavens.
In the realm of the Heavenly Venerate, the Yuan Realm can be called great, and in the realm of the Tao Lord, the Tao Lord who, on the basis of the righteousness of the Tao, further proves the opposite of the Tao can also be called great, and is called the Great Tao Lord.
While Zhou Qing was observing the other Heavenly Lords, these people were naturally also looking at him.
Zhou Qing was the only one among all the people present who had only reached the ultimate realm of cultivation and was not from the Tianming Dao lineage. It could be said that if he was not a native of the Xuanhuang Realm, he would not have been invited here.
However, although Zhou Qing's cultivation was not as good as theirs, no one looked down on him for this.
Because Zhou Qing was the only one among those present who had attained the dual Daoist rank. Although the others were all born in the Tianming Daoist lineage, none of them had achieved such an accomplishment.
Such a young and legendary Dual Dao Heavenly Master who is at the peak of the extreme realm is already qualified to coexist with them on an equal footing.
It is not so easy for them to take down Zhou Qing alone. This is something that has been proven more than once by the dual-path Heavenly Lords in history. Therefore, no one would question Zhou Qing.
After briefly understanding their respective identities, Jiang Tianzun from the human world said:
"My fellow Taoists, we are all here because of the Tianming Sect. There is no need to be polite. Let's get down to business."
"Without us noticing anything, the Tianming Sect was destroyed. This is a shocking incident and we cannot ignore it. Please share your thoughts."
Shen Tianzun said: "We have collected all the information we can about Tianxu. Fellow Daoist Zhou has entered Tianxu more than once, and he also told us what he saw and heard."
"Everyone should know that if we want to figure this out, there is no other way except to enter Tianxu to investigate."
"There must be something buried inside that may provide us with clues. If we are just outside, I don't think we will gain anything."
Zhou Qing said: "Tianxu is very dangerous, and Yuanjing may also die because of it."
Haoyang Tianzun of the Heaven Realm spoke calmly: "We are also aware of this. This level of dangerous place, even if it is not Tianxu, is extremely dangerous. But in order to find out what happened, it is worth and necessary to take certain risks."
Qingshou Tianzun had been deep in thought, and just now he interrupted:
"Still need to be cautious."
“But there is no other way.”
The Hunlong Tianzun of the Hongmeng Realm said in a rough voice:
"The demise of the Tianming Sect may seem to have nothing to do with us, and it won't implicate us, but I think everyone understands the significance of this matter, and we can't stay out of it."
"We were able to quietly destroy the Tianming Sect yesterday. Will we encounter the same thing tomorrow?"
The Earth Realm's Youmeng Tianzun nodded: "Fellow Daoist Hunlong, what you said makes sense."
"The Tianming Sect is not weaker than any of our sects, but it ended up like this. If we can't find out the reason, it will be hard to feel at ease."
“You all know that with the ancestral artifact, the Tianming Sect should not and could not be destroyed. Even if it was besieged by the innate gods and demons, it would not have come to this!”
Faxuan Tianzun sighed softly: "But something like this happened."
After Zhou Qing gave this reminder, he stopped talking and just kept listening.
He could see that these Heavenly Lords were really too fearful in their hearts.
The destiny of heaven is eternal and indestructible. This can be said to be an iron rule, which is recognized by the void.
But the iron rule has now been broken, and the demise of the Tianming Sect has caused the surviving Tianming Taoist tradition to feel uncontrollably worried.
If we do n't find out the truth, who knows if "we" will be wiped out in the same confused way one day in the future?
Compared with the result of the destruction of the Taoist tradition, the danger faced by entering Tianxu at this time is nothing.
The example of the Tianming Sect is here. If this happens to their own sect, everyone will die and no one will survive.
Why not take the risk now?
Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, the only thing to be afraid of is comparison. Choose the lesser of two evils.
Jiang Tianzun said: "It is imperative to enter Tianxu to investigate the truth. Everyone, if there is no better way, then let's vote."
"Those who are willing can enter together and share the risk. Those who are unwilling will not be forced. However, if those who enter have any gains, it will not be shared with you. Fellow Taoists, please consider carefully."
This matter concerns all the Tianming Daoist sects, and no one can stay out of it, so the news will spread to all the fairy realms in a short period of time, and all the people from the Tianming Daoist sects will be called over. This is something that everyone intends to do and tacitly agrees to.
This concerns the survival of one's own Taoist tradition. Anyone who wants to obtain useful information must make an effort. It is impossible to just sit back and reap the rewards.
If we want to get to the bottom of this matter, it will undoubtedly be more likely if we all work together.
There are definitely people who want to keep all the good things to themselves, but when it comes to bad things...
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Qing Shou Tianzun and the others fell into deep thought, considering seriously that this was not a trivial matter.
Youmeng Tianzun was the first to express his opinion: "After entering Tianxu, even if we cannot find out the truth completely, we must at least find some clues."
Hunlong Tianzun also nodded: "Hongmeng Realm is also willing to contribute."
The other Heavenly Masters also expressed their willingness to participate.
As great celestial masters of the Yuan realm, they are naturally qualified to represent the forces behind them.
The most important thing is that they came here on orders to explore Tianxu, and it is impossible for them to retreat at this time.
Finally, Qingshou Tianzun glanced at Zhou Qing and expressed his willingness to join.
Zhou Qing had reminded him of the dangers of Tianxu, but it was obvious that the Taishang Taoist Palace would not retreat because of this, and Zhou Qing could understand this.
After the eight immortal realms decided to enter Tianxu, all the celestial masters looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing shook his head: "I will not participate in this matter. I am not strong enough, and there are still many things that have not been completed. Some things depend on me alone. I really cannot enter Tianxu to take risks. Please forgive me, fellow Taoists."
There is no destiny or tradition behind Zhou Qing. He only represents himself. What Qingshou Tianzun and others have to do is not the case for him.
No matter why the Tianming Sect was destroyed, it is not something Zhou Qing should explore now. He does not have the qualifications, nor the need to do anything according to the stage.
The most crucial thing is that Jiang Tianzun, Youmeng Tianzun and others must be fully prepared for entering Tianxu, and have various means brought by the Tianming Daotong to ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.
Being in the same Yuan realm, Wen Sheng may not be inferior to them in terms of strength, but his foundation and means are definitely inferior.
These people should be safer than Wensheng when entering Tianxu.
But they are them, Zhou Qing is Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing does not have a divine orthodoxy to protect him, so his life is his own.
If he went in with these people and encountered danger, would he expect others to protect him regardless of their own safety? This was impossible.
Besides, Zhou Qing suspected that if he followed in, he might implicate others.
The red-haired monster that he saw every time he entered Tianxu, and the pair of eyes that appeared that time reflecting history, were both hidden dangers.
If something is really triggered after entering Tianxu, with Zhou Qing around, there may be even greater danger.
There is no problem, but there may be problems.
So, you must never get involved in this matter.
Zhou Qing's small arms and legs cannot withstand the wind and waves.
Qingshou Tianzun supported Zhou Qing's decision: "You really don't have to participate."
"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with you for now, so you don't have to take the risk." Zhao Tianzun also said so.
Since the two Heavenly Masters spoke up to support Zhou Qing, it was difficult for the others to say anything. Besides, there really wasn’t much difference between having one more Zhou Qing or one less.
Hunlong Tianzun said: "In this case, let's choose a time and enter Tianxu directly."
"How about three days later?"
"Okay, no need to delay too long."
The others nodded as well, and then everyone dispersed. There was no need to hold a banquet or anything like that.
In the end, the three great celestial masters of the Sanqing Taoist Temple and Zhou Qing stayed.
Qing Shou Tianzun said: "You are very rational and did not let us control you. This is good."
Zhao Tianzun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't be fooled by the fact that they seem to be fearless and put life and death aside. But in fact, I can guarantee that each of them has made many preparations before coming to Xuanhuang Realm."
"Even if one really died accidentally in Tianxu, one can be resurrected immediately in their world."
"The Tianming Sect has no shortage of life-saving items that can also protect Pure Yang God and Zhenwu Saint." Faxuan Tianzun said, "The destruction of the Tianming Sect is closely related to us. We have made all the necessary preparations. You really shouldn't get involved. Otherwise, because of your background, you will inevitably be taken advantage of after entering Tianxu."
Neither the Taishang Taoist Palace nor the Lingbao Taoist Palace wanted to see Zhou Qing in danger. At such a time, the Yuanshi Taoist Palace would naturally not stand on the side of others.
Zhou Qing smiled helplessly: "I know all this, but I don't have the capital to take risks like them."
"But my three fellow Taoists, you must be extremely careful after entering Tianxu."
Zhao Tianzun said: "Don't worry, I don't want to die yet."
After a detailed exchange, Zhou Qing also left.
"You have a big family and can fight for it, but I can't."
Zhou Qing shook his head: "If something goes wrong, I can't even imagine what will happen."
Even if Zhou Qing has the [Immortal Light of the Soul] and can return, how long will it take?
By then, everything will have changed, and there may be some irreparable regrets in life.
However, although he had no intention of entering, Zhou Qing still kept an eye on these Taoist sects of destiny.
Three days later, the celestial masters from the eight immortal realms arrived as scheduled and went to Tianxu together.
They did not bring any creator with them on this operation, and it was all done by the Heavenly Master himself.
Some of them entered Tianxu, and some stayed outside to provide support in case of any accidents.
Many people were paying attention to Tianxu. They watched the double-digit Tianzuns walk into Tianxu and be swallowed by the blood-colored mist.
With Tianzun's speed, they will soon reach the deepest part of Tianxu, but the specific scenes they explore inside cannot be seen outside Tianxu.
However, soon, changes occurred that could be seen outside Tianxu.
At the deepest point in Tianxu, a bell suddenly rang, freezing eternal time and space. The long river of time was manifested and fixed, and even the area outside Tianxu was affected.
The power contained in the sound of the bell made Tianzun's face change slightly.
"The power of Taiyi Emperor Bell, did the Divine Court bring the ancestral weapon?"
"It's not an ancestral weapon, but just a replica of an ancestral weapon that carries a little power, but it's amazing enough."
"What did they encounter in there that they actually used something like this?"
The bell sound was just the beginning, and then a blood-red sword light shot up into the sky, ending everything and dispersing the endless blood cloud in Tianxu.
The shadow of the banner appeared, creating the world and breaking everything; the red flame contained the power of civilization, burning away all filth and existence...
All kinds of terrifying forces manifested in the deepest part of Tianxu. Even Tianxu time and space could not completely contain such fluctuations, causing the entire Xuanhuang Realm to fall into a strange phenomenon. Countless people who were far away noticed it.
In Tianxu, earth-shaking changes took place. Many strange dangers were eliminated and everything was silent. This was the first time that Zhou Qing saw a force that could disrupt Tianxu to this extent.
There is a bit of a posture to wipe out Tianxu! (End of this chapter)
