Chapter 1222 Four-Direction Divine Lord

"I'm fine, I'm fine, better than ever before..."

In the back hall of the Shenxiao Palace, Gao Xian held Qiniang's hand and whispered comforting words. He knew that Qiniang and the others still had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to ask too many questions.

Even Qi Niang, who was the closest to her, hesitated and didn't know how to start the conversation.

Indeed, after surviving this heavenly tribulation and attaining enlightenment in Tai Chi, Gao Xian looked back on his life and saw a lot, which inevitably touched him.

It’s not that he can’t control his emotions, but since he has reached this level of cultivation, there is no need to hide his emotions.

The highest, the strongest, the truest and the purest are not just words.

Qi Niang said softly, "I always feel that you are very different from before, but I can't tell where the difference is."

"The tide is coming in the Qiantang River. Today I know who I am."

Gao Xian recited a Buddhist verse from Water Margin, which he had recited once when he used the Jade Pivot Mirror to break the illusion. But when he turned around, he fell into another illusion.

Looking back now, that was still immature.

Now, when he recited the old verses again, he could finally use his mind to reflect on himself, see his true self, and no longer worry, fear, confusion or distress...

This is only for himself.

Simply put, it means knowing who you are, where you come from, and where you are going...

The outside world was too complicated, and there were some things he couldn't see clearly. Even if he could see some things clearly, he couldn't do anything about it.

His cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this realm and there is no further improvement.

Even so, he could not change people's hearts and nature, nor could he reverse life and death.

Standing on the top, Gao Xian was in an extremely strong state, but he felt a little lonely in his heart...

Even someone as close as Qi Niang could not share his loneliness. This was the limitation of individual life, unless he could transcend the current level of life...

Gao Xian looked up when he thought of this. The bedroom in the rear hall was magnificently built, and the dome was covered with tiles polished from golden shells. Even without using any magical powers, he could see the stars and the moon in the night sky by looking up.

The gods and gods in heaven are just ordinary people, and are not immune to intrigue and scheming.

Do we really want to break the shackles of this world?

Qinnan didn't know what Gao Xian was thinking, but she could see the deep loneliness between his brows. She was not good at comforting others, and she didn't know why Gao Xian was like this, so she could only hold Gao Xian's hand tightly, and after thinking for a while, she leaned her head on Gao Xian's shoulder.

Gao Xian felt warm at heart when he felt Qi Niang's embrace. Qi Niang always put him first.

He asked in a low voice: "Qiniang, if a cultivator can turn into the sun, moon, and stars and live as long as the sky, then there will be no more worries, right?"

"If I become the sun, moon and stars, will you accompany me?" asked Qi Niang.

Gao Xian shook his head: "Only one person can be immortal."

Qi Niang could see that Gao Xian was not just chatting casually. She thought seriously for a while before saying, "Eternal immortality is the highest pursuit of cultivators of my generation. Who can refuse that?"

She then said with emotion: "Just like a bug transforming into a butterfly, from our perspective, eternal immortality seems too far-fetched to be conceivable."

Qi Niang raised her head and looked into Gao Xian's eyes and said, "Without you by my side, eternal immortality would be too boring. I'm still willing to accompany you, and eternal immortality is not necessary. Living for tens of thousands of years is enough..."

Gao Xian smiled and put his arm around Qi Niang's shoulders: "This is easy. Once we get rid of a few gods, we can stay together and live a few days of peace and comfort..."

Without waiting for Qi Niang to speak, Gao Xianzhuan said, "I have just realized a magical power and I am passing it on to you. If you practice well, you will have no problem advancing to the twelfth level."

"Yes." Qi Niang nodded gently. She was a pure cultivator and had a natural love for cultivation.

In the current situation, the higher her cultivation level, the more she can protect herself and help Gao Xian, so she is willing to do her best to cultivate.

Gao Xian didn't explain much. He activated the Yin-Yang Cave nerves to closely connect with Qiniang's soul.

In the state of dual cultivation of yin and yang, Gao Xian passed the mighty heavenly dragon that was refined to the ultimate realm to Qinniang.

In the past, he would at most teach her the method of cultivation and help Qiniang to refine her body and spirit through dual cultivation.

After overcoming the heavenly tribulation and breaking through to the Tai Chi realm, Gao Xian will be able to embed the supreme magical power of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon directly into Qinniang's soul.

As long as Qi Niang practices a little and overcomes the heavenly tribulation, she will be able to advance to the twelfth level soon.

This did not come out of thin air. It was only because a great sage refined it with the Hongmeng Purple Qi that it had such power.

These magical powers are useless to him, but giving them to Qiniang and the others can help them improve their cultivation quickly.

Although Gao Xian possesses supreme magical powers, he cannot predict what he will become in the future, and he is not sure whether he can survive this catastrophe.

Several gods are very shrewd and started planning several epochs in advance. Even if he gets the Wanjie Yinfu Spear, it is hard to guarantee victory.

However, he was able to attain enlightenment in Tai Chi because of a variety of coincidences, his own natural instincts, and the fact that he was an outsider, which enabled him to achieve such an accomplishment.

At this point, he was able to fight against several gods.

Qi Niang had fused with dragon crystals and cultivated the power of the mixed origin, which matched the Great Power Heavenly Dragon in every aspect. The most important thing was that her soul was strong and tenacious, which was the most suitable for this magical power.

Through a dual cultivation, Gao Xian successfully embedded the Great Heavenly Dragon into Qinniang's soul, allowing the magical power and soul to merge.

Other elixirs, magical objects and other resources are all available, and Qi Niang only needs to practice step by step. For Qi Niang, the biggest problem is the need to constantly temper her soul.

Fortunately, he was there to protect her, so Qi Niang would not get into any trouble. At most, her soul would not be strong enough to advance to the twelfth level.

A twelfth-level strongman has to go through countless hours of tempering and polishing before he can advance to the twelfth level.

Although Gao Xian has great abilities, he cannot directly improve Qi Niang's soul. At most, he can protect her through the method of dual cultivation. As for how far she can go, it depends on Qi Niang herself.

Although Gao Xian still had some preferences towards several women in his heart, he still tried his best to treat them equally.

After all, these people have been with him all the way, and each of them is sincere to him, so he cannot let them down.

He split the Hunyuan Tianlun into two halves, one for Yun Qingxuan and the other for Yue Shenxiu, one for the positive five elements and the other for the negative five elements.

The Hunyuan Heavenly Wheel, which had been refined to the highest level, would not lose its power even if it was split in half. It was just that it lacked some subtle changes.

When he was in obscurity, Yun Qingxuan and Yue Shenxiu both helped him with all their might, but this kind of friendship was different from the love between men and women.

In Gao Xian's heart, they, like Qiniang, always have a special status.

Yun Qingxuan and Yue Shenxiu are also true seeds of cultivation. In terms of cultivation aptitude, talent, and even root nature, they are all top in the world, only slightly inferior to Zhizhen.

These two people have obtained the Hunyuan Tianlun and have a great chance of advancing to the twelfth level.

The Pojun Tiansha sword was passed to Xiao Hongye. Among all the women, only she and Yin Jiuli were true sword practitioners. Yin Jiuli followed the Yin-Yang path, which was far from Pojun Tiansha.

Another point is that Yin Jiuli is a cultivator of Tai Chi Sword Palace after all, so there is still some difference in terms of closeness to him.

After being tempered by the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Pojun Tiansha Sword also removed the Tiansha foul aura. Xiao Hongye no longer needed to absorb the Tiansha Qi specifically, and only needed to practice the Yin-Yang Sword Sutra he taught, which was enough to control this method.

Gao Xian only has this much wealth, and the most valuable thing left is the Blood River Flag, which is difficult for anyone to control.

As for Qingqing, Gao Xian extracted the Divine Thunder Method and taught it to her. Of course, he couldn't practice dual cultivation with Qingqing, it all depended on whether Qingqing herself had the spirituality.

No matter what, as long as he is fine and can protect Qingqing, he doesn't need to care too much about what she becomes.

As for the rest, such as Zhizhen, Yin Jiuli, Xiao Jinse, Taining, Qingle, and even the sisters Shui Yunzhu and Shui Yunguang, Gao Xian instructed them in their practice through the Yin-Yang Cave Sutra, and imprinted on them the supreme secret method that leads directly to the Great Dao.

How far they can go depends entirely on their own luck.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

As for seniors like Xuan Yang and Wu Ji, Gao Xian could only talk about the Dharma with them.

A hundred years passed so quickly. Qi Niang, who had obtained the complete inheritance, broke through the bottleneck with the help of the mighty Tianlong and rushed into the twelfth level, becoming the second strongest person of the human race.

Yun Qingxuan, Yue Shenxiu, Xiao Hongye, Zhizhen and others also advanced to the eleventh level and achieved their own success.

However, the spiritual energy at this time has already weakened to the extreme, and the number of cultivators in the human world has dropped by 99%. Only a very small number of humans with extraordinary talents can sense the spiritual energy and produce a sense of energy.

Another huge consequence of the decline of spiritual energy is a sharp drop in the total number of intelligent creatures in the human world.

The same land, with sufficient spiritual energy, can produce high-grade rice. One kilogram of rice with such high spiritual energy is enough for a cultivator to consume for a month.

Without spiritual energy, the rice produced by the land would be reduced by half. Moreover, one kilogram of rice was only enough for an ordinary person to consume for ten days.

All the corresponding spells and instruments also lost their effectiveness, making the situation even worse.

Without spiritual energy, the weather became even more extreme and severe. The cultivators also lost their magical powers to control the weather, making the living conditions of the major races even worse.

Jiuzhou is better off, mainly because the Jiuzhou domain is still operational. Although Skynet can no longer transmit people and objects, it can still maintain information communication, which allows Jiuzhou's sect organizations to operate efficiently.

Gao Xian also invested many magical objects in the Jiuzhou Dharma Realm, using the Dharma Realm to barely gather spiritual energy, making the environment in Jiuzhou hundreds of times better than outside.

Even so, the cultivators of Jiuzhou also suffered heavy losses.

Skynet was filled with curses and complaints.

When working from the bottom up, people are full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, their spirits are high and they can face difficulties with a positive attitude.

When the situation collapses from top to bottom, people will lose their energy and spirit, and even the smallest difficulties will become difficult to deal with. In this case, cursing is the simplest and most direct way to vent.

As the master of Taiji, it was not difficult for Gao Xian to bear the infamy. The key was that the negative backlash brought by the power of the will still had some impact on him.

The foundation of his enlightenment is not Shintoism, so the backlash of his vows cannot hurt him. However, he can always hear countless people cursing him, and he cannot completely block out the curses, which is a bit annoying.

Gao Xian had anticipated the current situation, and had already made response plans and carried out various publicity activities. However, some people just ignored these objective changes and wanted to vent their malice.

As the Lord of Taiji, Gao Xian could only bear this. He could understand this. He had used his willpower to accomplish great things, and now he had to bear the negative impact brought by his willpower.

Although he was a God Lord, he could not create endless spiritual energy out of thin air. Although he now had the power of the thirteenth level, his mana was reduced to the previous sixth level.

Fortunately, with the accumulation of endless willpower, he can still unleash the power of the Wanjie Yinfu Spear without consuming his own lifespan.

In the 12,120th year of the Jiuzhou calendar, endless flames fell from the sky in all directions of the human world. The huge heaven fell into the human world in just a few days and merged into one with the human world.

The collapsed heaven did not bring any spiritual energy, but the violent fusion of different voids caused all kinds of horrific natural disasters.

Natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, storms and so on occurred frequently, not only the four seas and eight wildernesses suffered a huge impact, but all major races suffered heavy casualties.

Jiuzhou was hit hard, causing heavy casualties.

Faced with a natural disaster of this magnitude, Gao Xian had no other options but to mobilize as many resources as possible for disaster relief, but he also inevitably received another wave of negative energy.

The heavenly realm quickly merged into the human world, and a cave was established in each of the four directions: east, south, west, north, and north.

The Eastern Cave Heaven is filled with purple air rising into the sky and is majestic and grand. It is the Cave Heaven of the Three Emperors occupied by the Jade Emperor Taishang, the Ming Emperor Taiyi, and the Golden Emperor Taihua.

The western cave is filled with black air and rampant demonic energy. It is Taitian Heaven ruled by Taiyi Demon Lord.

The southern cave is in chaos and darkness; it is the cave ruled by the Lord of the Yuan Demon.

The northern sky is deep and dark, like the eternal night, with no light from the sun, moon, or stars.

Even Gao Xian could not see through the Northern Sky Realm. Although he knew that it must be the most mysterious and powerful original Demon Lord, he was still shocked by the other party's magical powers.

Today's spiritual energy has weakened to the extreme. Although the Three Emperors, Taiyi Demon Lord, and the Original Demon Lord each have their own caves, they are all extremely small in scale and can only barely maintain the original framework of the caves. They are mainly used to restrain the spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating to the outside world.

The original Demon Lord occupied a small half of the Northern Wilderness, which was a hundred times larger than the Nine Continents in terms of land area. However, it was all turned into an endless and deep night, where the light of the sun, moon and stars could not penetrate. Such magical powers were truly terrifying.

The remaining six gods are actually divided into four groups, because the Three Emperors were originally one.

From Gao Xian's point of view, Yuanshi is naturally the first, followed by the Three Emperors, and Yuanmo and Taiyi are about the same level as Ji Le. There is nothing much to say.

He just couldn't figure out why the Buddha of Bliss rushed into the human world, while the other four waited until the heavens collapsed before entering the human world? Could it be that these four powerful people bullied Bliss? Or was it like Bliss said, the Three Emperors, Yuan Mo, and Taiyi were all infected by the original and became puppets of the original, so they unified their steps?

If that was the case, the situation would be worse than he expected.

Gao Xian used to think that in the era without spiritual energy, everyone competed to see who had more people and more power. Now it seems that he thought too simply.

The spiritual energy is indeed gone, but the thirteenth-level god still has various means to exert great power.

Even if the Lord God can only use the sixth-level magical power, it is not enough to rely on numbers. Besides, how can the Lord God be so stupid! The Lord Gods of the four directions descended at the same time, and Gao Xian didn't know who to deal with first?

Just when Gao Xian was selecting his first target, a guest arrived at the Shenxiao Palace...
