Cao Ya was also deeply moved.
Without Meng Tianzheng, he wouldn't have been able to openly preach at the Heavenly God Academy and widely publicize the Creation Law.
The hostility this move provoked was something Cao Ya couldn't withstand at that time; only Meng Tianzheng could shoulder it all.
Similarly, Meng Tianzheng also put a lot of effort into nurturing Shi Hao.
Not only Shi Hao, but also many other cultivators who have joined the Heavenly God Academy, Meng Tianzheng is thinking about how to help them, find suitable paths for them, so that they can go as far as possible, and even surpass their own limits!
Meng Tianzheng was generous with his guidance to those from sacred academies, immortal academies, and even some independent cultivators.
This is why so many powerful figures across the land are willing to join Meng Tianzheng's camp.
This is because, in the past, they had all been taught by the Grand Elder to varying degrees, thus sharing a mentor-student relationship.
It wasn't that Meng Tianzheng was trying to win people's hearts, but rather that he was happy to see the overall strength of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths increase. In comparison, people like Wang Changsheng might not be inferior in strength, but their vision and perspective were far inferior.
The latter, at most, cultivates outstanding talents for their own faction.
Those who come to join us are not taken too seriously, let alone other practitioners.
Otherwise, why would academies like the Heavenly God Academy, the Immortal Academy, and the Holy Academy, which cultivate cultivators, surpass the long-lived families or ancient lineages like the Wang family, the Jin family, the Feng clan, and the Underworld, becoming the place that countless beings throughout the world yearn for in this era?
"The help that a few academies can provide to our world and to the common people is far more meaningful than any immortal family or ancient lineage. In the years since the Immortal Ancient Era, even if all the latter were combined, they would not be as valuable as any single academy."
Cao Ya said softly.
The greatest advantage of academies over aristocratic families and sects lies in the fact that while academies have selection criteria, they set no other restrictions or require loyalty. If someone leaves the academy and rises to become a powerful ruler, intimidating the world, the academy will only be pleased.
However, the latter's demands are quite numerous, and many are unacceptable.
Otherwise, how could families and sects with a longer history and better resources be inferior to the Heavenly God Academy after billions of years?
Even among the geniuses and pampered daughters of the immortal families, many yearn to enter the academy rather than stay in the family to cultivate.
The comparison between the two provides a glimpse into the whole picture.
Wang Changsheng's mind raced, and he understood immediately, letting out a soft sigh.
"Meng Tianzheng, looking back now, your choice was absolutely correct," Wang Changsheng said, but he did not regret it. He was the head of the Wang family and the grandson of a True Immortal. What kind of talk would it be if he didn't manage the Wang family but instead went to various academies?
Moreover, he lacked the patience and was too lazy to cultivate so-called cultivation prodigies who had nothing to do with him.
Even if he wanted to learn, given his temperament, he simply couldn't.
However, so many experts have emerged from Meng Tianzheng's camp, such as the "World Dao Ancestor" Cao Ya, who surpasses all cultivators of the past and present. He rose against all odds and against the will of heaven and earth, and attained the status of a true immortal...
Wang Changsheng pondered that even in the Immortal Ancient Era, there were very few who could rival such a formidable character.
"If I went to the Immortal Ancient World, the Dao Ancestor would at least be a being at the level of one of the Ten Fiends, right?" Wang Changsheng thought to himself.
The others, though not comparable to the World Dao Ancestor, were still quite outstanding, some at the Supreme Realm, others at the Escape Realm or the Self-Slaying Realm. Many of them went to the borderlands to guard the Imperial Pass and fight against powerful enemies from other regions.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The galaxy collapsed, vast swathes of vacuum exploded, chaotic energy surged, the universe trembled, the boundless heavens shook, and billions of cultivators trembled in fear.
The clash between the two supreme beings swept across the heavens and earth with its grand and sweeping movements. Even the slightest ripples of its aftershocks were enough to annihilate a master of the Escape Realm.
It should be noted that the Escape One Realm, even in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, one of the Ten Lands, could be called the "Supreme".
This shows that the power of the strongest supreme being is ridiculously strong, almost surpassing the realm of humanity.
Cao Ya witnessed this and thought to himself that whether it was Meng Tianzheng or Wang Changsheng, if they were in the [Covering the Sky] universe, they would definitely be able to prove their Dao and become emperors. Moreover, they would go far in the emperor realm and embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.
"Cough cough..." Wang Changsheng coughed up blood. Although the "Pacifying Chaos Technique" was powerful, Meng Tianzheng had taken the path of "using his own body as a seed," and was by no means weak.
The three sword techniques of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—the "Grass Sword Technique," the "Suppressing Chaos Sword Technique," and the "Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique"—are all known as invincible techniques. Their sword intent is magnificent and vast, terrifying and frightening. Ordinary cultivators, even if they obtain the sword manuals, will find it difficult to even begin to master them.
Cao Ya obtained a mountain treasure and the inheritance of the Supreme Hall in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm. Besides secret techniques such as the *Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art* and the *Suanni Treasure Technique*, he also possessed the *Grass Character Sword Manual*, which he practiced for many years, achieving considerable mastery.
"The Grass Sword Technique" originates from the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, one of the Ten Fiends of antiquity. It once fought against many immortal kings from foreign lands, creating an earth-shattering battle that established its name as one of the Ten Fiends and made it famous throughout history.
The "Suppressing Chaos Sword Technique" is comparable to the "Cao Zi Sword Technique," which shows how powerful this sword technique is.
These three sword techniques can not only be used in the human realm. In fact, only when one cultivates to the Immortal Realm and attains the fruit of immortality can the divine power of these three sword techniques be truly unleashed!
Even Immortal Kings... and not only that, even Seven-Star Immortal Emperors can use these sword techniques!
It is said that in the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era, there was an extremely powerful figure who, relying on this sword technique, struck down an Immortal King from another realm. Although he himself was severely injured and perished, he prevented the other realm from spying on him, causing those Immortal Kings to become wary and halt their invasion plans, bringing billions of years of peace to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Unfortunately, in the late ancient times, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were still invaded by foreign realms. Moreover, they failed to repel the foreign realms and suffered a crushing defeat. Countless beings were killed or injured, and less than one in ten survived.
All the powerful figures above the Immortal Path have perished; not a single one survives to this day.
The few remaining immortals today are not from this realm, but originated from the Immortal Realm.
That's why they didn't care about the survival of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at all, and even launched sneak attacks on and ambushed meritorious officials.
Cao Ya's purge wasn't just targeting the Longevity Clan and the Ancient Daoist Temple; those few remnant immortals were the real targets!
Firstly, it was to avenge Kunpeng; secondly, he didn't want to suffer the same fate as Kunpeng in the future.
"Wang Changsheng's 'Pacifying Chaos Technique' has already begun to reveal the power of this supreme sword technique, and it is more profound than my mastery of the 'Cao Zi Sword Technique'," Cao Ya thought to himself.
Cao Ya is also cultivating the ancient and modern immortal techniques of 【Perfect World】, and has reached the Supreme Realm.
However, being merely an ordinary Supreme Being, he is certainly inferior to Wang Changsheng, a Supreme Being at the pinnacle.
However, Cao Ya's power is too complex, exceeding the limits of humanity and breaking into the realm of immortality, and he has more than one system.
Moreover, even though swordsmanship may differ from other systems, one can still draw parallels and gain insights. Cao Ya had his own unique understanding and grasped many aspects of sword intent.
Sword techniques such as the Dao Venerable Sword Technique from the [Peerless] Universe and the Sword Manual from the [Covering the Sky] Universe, along with other different sword intents, were unleashed, enough to surpass Wang Changsheng and crush him.
This only covers the way of the sword, not the way of the blade, the way of death, the laws of fire, the laws of lightning, and so on.
Of all the powers, the Way of the Blade and the Way of Death are currently the strongest, and these are the two systems that Cao Ya uses most often.
Only when facing a formidable opponent will one resort to the power of other systems.
"Swish swish swish!!!" Lan
Sword light swirled, shattering heaven and earth, laws swirled, and light rain poured down.
At this moment, Wang Changsheng's cultivation is so profound that if he were in the ancient immortal era, with his comprehension, he would surely have made the ultimate leap and ascended to immortality!
Therefore, Wang Changsheng could actually exert many miraculous effects with this sword technique. The black sword embryo danced, pierced through the void, and cut down Meng Tianzheng, attempting to destroy his primordial spirit.
“Buzz…” Meng Tianzheng’s response was simple and direct. His Niwan Palace world appeared to block the black sword embryo. The magic he had comprehended over millions of years, the Daoist divine sound echoed in the Niwan Palace world. Regardless of the losses, it did block that sword embryo, making Wang Changsheng’s “Pacifying Chaos Technique” return empty-handed and ineffective.
He often sparred with Cao Ya, and in terms of his understanding of the Creation Law, apart from Cao Ya, no one in the entire Great World could compare to Meng Tianzheng.
Meng Tianzheng drew his bow and nocked an arrow, his divine light condensing into sharp arrows that shot out with great force. This gave Wang Changsheng a headache, as he had to use various secret techniques to intercept it.
His Niwan Palace world was not as vast as Meng Tianzheng's, and the number of laws existing within it was also insufficient.
Finally, after thousands of rounds, Meng Tianzheng used the Niwan Palace World to completely suppress the black sword embryo that Wang Changsheng's primordial spirit had transformed into. The longbow containing his "using the body as a seed" creation shattered Wang Changsheng's body, tearing it to pieces and splattering blood.
"Ah!!!" Wang Changsheng roared, his hair flying wildly as his physical body reformed, his eyes sharp.
Having been neck and neck for countless years, Wang Changsheng was now about to be defeated, which he found extremely unfair.
"Explode!" Wang Changsheng ruthlessly detonated the black sword embryo. The chaotic divine power crashed into the Niwan Palace world, almost completely destroying it.
Meng Tianzheng groaned, and blood seeped from his seven orifices.
He took over the Niwan Palace world, and with a long roar, he gripped his longbow and unleashed a dense rain of law-based arrows. The killing aura filled the outer starry sky, and even the stars and the sun could not steal its brilliance.
"Kill!!" Wang Changsheng roared, unleashing his full power in a bloody battle against Meng Tianzheng.
As fellow supreme beings at the pinnacle, Meng Tianzheng was not intimidated at all. The sound of him drawing the bowstring was terrifying, comparable to a thunderous roar that shook the boundless heavens!
Suddenly, Meng Tianzheng had a thought and transformed the Great Dao manifested within the Niwan Palace world into countless bright and dazzling arrows, unparalleled in their brilliance and exuding overwhelming murderous aura.
At this moment, the cultivators were terrified. Any one of those arrows could kill the strongest among them!
Even ordinary supreme beings must shed blood and die in the outer realms.
The only one I'm confident I can withstand without getting hurt...
"Probably only the 'World Dao Ancestor' who is watching the battle up close." The cultivators were shocked. In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is only one World Dao Ancestor among the great immortals.
In other words, with no true immortals appearing, Meng Tianzheng is already invincible in the realm of humanity!
"Pfft!!!" Wang Changsheng was hit by an arrow, and his body exploded again. This time, even his soul was pierced by the arrow of law and could not be repaired.
"I actually lost in the final battle of my life..."
"For so many years before, we were clearly evenly matched."
"Meng Tianzheng, how will you deal with the foreign army knocking on the gate, those immortals and immortal kings?"
Wang Changsheng's lips twitched, and with a bang, his flesh and blood exploded completely, and his primordial spirit turned into a shower of light, dissipating into the outer starry sky.
"A truly invincible supreme being of humanity!" Countless cultivators in the Boundless Heaven were shocked.
This battle was even more astonishing than the World Dao Ancestor's crushing of several supreme beings!
Because the one who died in battle was Wang Changsheng, who had dominated the heavens and the earth for countless eons!
Jin Taijun, Feng Zu, and the Old Supreme of the Underworld are indeed quite famous, but they pale in comparison to Wang Changsheng.
Moreover, Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng were often mentioned together and were hailed as two unparalleled heroes.
Only today did the two finally determine a winner.
"Waaah..."
Blood rained down from the sky, accompanied by mournful howls that echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Strange phenomena appeared, as if the boundless heavens were mourning the death of the supreme being.
At this time, Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng had already left the outer realm and returned to the territory of the Boundless Heavenly King family.
The cultivators from the Wang family, Jin family, Feng clan, and Netherworld forces trembled, their eyes filled with fear.
After this battle, the top two cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had no further objections.
The World Dao Ancestor and the Grand Elder dominate the Great World!
Without the supreme ruler in charge, can the so-called longevity families and ancient traditions truly continue to shine?
Furthermore, if the two powerful figures pursue this matter, will they exterminate their entire clan?
In fact, their worries were unnecessary. What Cao Ya and Meng Tian were trying to settle accounts with were all sorts of traitors.
It doesn't mean launching a bloody purge, with people confiscating property and exterminating entire families.
They act based on evidence. If there are clear facts proving that someone has colluded with foreign lands and betrayed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they will be executed.
Those who were not involved did not cause any harm.
If we indiscriminately condemn them all, then what difference is there between Cao Ya and his group, and Wang Changsheng, Jin Taijun, Feng Zu, and others?
Of course, it involves a large number of cultivators from various factions, and it's impossible for just the two of them to handle, judge, or imprison them all.
At this time, the cultivators at the Self-Slaying Realm and Escape Realm from forces such as the Heavenly God Academy, the Holy Academy, and the Immortal Academy were given tasks.
There are also special inspectors who receive written instructions from the World Dao Ancestor to supervise and prevent favoritism and abuse of power.
While it's impossible to completely eliminate it, Cao Ya still wants to strive for fairness, ensuring that good people aren't wronged and that bad people aren't let off the hook.
Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with Cao Ya taking the lead and Meng Tianzheng directing the operation, mobilized various forces in an orderly manner to carry out the internal purge of traitors.
Undoubtedly, the judgment was fair, the evidence was irrefutable, and there was no injustice. This scene boosted the morale of all the cultivators.
In this way, even if they go to the remote borderlands, they don't have to worry about being harmed by their own people.
The atmosphere within the entire realm has begun to change, and order has become clear, which is definitely beneficial to ordinary beings.
At least there's no need to worry about being caught in the crossfire of some expert's battle, resulting in the entire clan or tribe being razed to the ground, with no one holding anyone accountable.
With the World Dao Ancestor patrolling the heavens and earth, possessing boundless divine power and awe-inspiring influence throughout the six directions and eight wastelands, such unbridled scenes were greatly reduced in a short period of time.
Everywhere, a thriving scene unfolded.
Cao Ya was quite pleased to see this.
Meng Tianzheng and other high-ranking members of the academy secretly thought that supporting the World Dao Ancestor was the right thing to do.
Today's heavens and earth are more pleasing than ever before, feeling vibrant and full of vitality.
