Chapter 228

"Not just them—how could any sect in the world not come to such a grand event?"

The crowd suddenly understood, glancing around, and indeed spotted the familiar major sects among the Wu Lin heroes.

Zhenwu Grand Hall.

"Junbao, will Daojun really come today?"

Zhang Junbao nodded reluctantly: "Daojun said he would arrive at the founding ceremony—he won't break his word."

Just then, a clamor came from outside.

Zhang Junbao's expression shifted; he walked straight to the windowsill and saw the Wu Lin crowd looking up at the sky, so he looked up too.

Above the sky, auspicious clouds filled the heavens, purple qi stretched three ten thousand li, and a man rode a blessed beast, the Qilin, strolling through the clouds toward Wudang.

"It's Daojun!" Zhang Junbao rejoiced and hurried forward to meet him.

The Qilin descended slowly and soon landed on the ground.

Zhang Taixuan stepped lightly to the earth, exuding an immortal's aura.

"We pay our respects to Daojun."

"No need for formalities," Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly. "I foresaw something would happen here, so I came."

As for cross-realm access—this world had already decided to submit, so the access had long been open to him; there was no need for Zhang Junbao to activate it.

"Daojun, please."

"After you."

Outside.

Seeing a god riding a strange beast descend from the heavens, the Wu Lin crowd went wild.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the divine beast Qilin. I never thought I'd see a Qilin in my lifetime!"

"That Daoist is truly extraordinary—if there are immortals in this world, he must look exactly like this."

"Yes, this is truly an immortal from the Nine Heavens—not like those frauds who put on shows."

Inside the Daoist temple.

Zhang Junbao turned on the livestream, pointing the camera at the sky.

The purple qi dispersed, revealing a scene of utter ruin.

"Indeed, it's a biohazard world—it will merge in fifteen minutes," Zhang Taixuan calculated internally, quickly grasping the outcome. He looked at Zhang Junbao: "Junbao, you oversee the founding of our sect; I'll handle the world invasion and the virus—you go."

"Yes, Daojun."

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "Why does the destruction of just one Earth civilization cause the universe to enter its end? Earth is such a tiny part of the universe, isn't it?"

Ye Hei: "True—Earth is negligible compared to the universe. How could Earth's collapse affect the entire cosmos?"

Lin Fengjiao: "I've never actually thought about this question!"

Ying Zheng: "Same here—too profound."

Zhang Taixuan: "What do you think is the proportion of soul to body?"

Ye Hei: "I heard a study claims the human soul weighs exactly 21 grams."

Su Xiao: "Isn't that pseudoscience?"

Zhang Taixuan: "It's inaccurate. But one thing can't be denied: the soul's weight is extremely light, nearly nonexistent. Yet the soul is vital to all living beings."

Su Xiao: "Are you saying—civilization to the universe is like the soul to a living being?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Roughly. At least, that's what my calculations show. The world suffering the biohazard crisis has only one civilization—when it collapsed, the universe began to crumble. Now, this shattered universe is drifting toward Zhang Junbao's world, which is the origin of this disaster."

Su Xiao: "I never realized civilization is so vital to the universe. I used to think humans were utterly insignificant to the cosmos!"

Huang Rong: "This must be why spreading the Immortal Martial Dao brings feedback from the world's origin. A new path is surely something that elevates a world's civilization."

Xiao Mai: "This is too deep—I'm confused."

Jie Jing: "Those who caused the biohazard are truly despicable—they destroyed a civilization and dragged the universe toward ruin."

Xiao Wu: "Evil humans are worse than evil beasts. Even the fiercest beasts cause limited harm; when humans turn evil, they can topple entire worlds."

While they chatted, the founding ceremony outside had ended.

Zhang Junbao had already demonstrated his strength, and with an immortal arriving on a Qilin from the heavens, none of the Wu Lin heroes dared cause trouble.

On the Shanmen path, array patterns glowed as one by one, Wu Lin figures struggled upward.

To walk the Heart-Testing Path is to enter the Immortal Sect—this is a path to immortality.

Faced with such an opportunity, all factions went mad.

As they climbed, a thunderous boom split the sky—a black mist surged downward, carrying a scent of annihilation.

"Daojun, everything rests in your hands."

Zhang Junbao's expression hardened; he bowed respectfully.

Faced with this scene, even though he had reached fullness in true qi cultivation, he could do nothing.

"No problem."

Zhang Taixuan smiled, mounted the Qilin, and flew toward the tear in the sky.

His body radiated boundless light, sweeping across one hundred thousand li.

The scattered black mist was instantly obliterated by the light; the deathly energy and biohazard viruses vanished with it.

When the Qilin reached the void tear, the light had already surged into the other world.

Biohazard world.

Above the sky, boundless white light erupted, sweeping across heaven and earth—in an instant, it cleansed every corner of the land.

A piercing wail echoed through heaven and earth.

Biohazard viruses, vengeful souls, death energy, malevolent qi—all dark substances were erased by the Great Radiance Spell.

Zhang Taixuan sat atop the Qilin, gazing downward; his divine sense swept across and found that the civilization of this world had already perished—not a single human, nor even a small animal or plant, remained.

A slight calculation revealed that this world had endured a biochemical crisis for over ten thousand years.

The previous zombie imagery was merely lingering afterglow from the past.

Ten thousand years had erased all traces of human civilization; the land lay desolate, either barren or ravaged by dust tornadoes.

"This is what a true apocalypse looks like. The biochemical crisis films were far too conservative!"

Even the Fire Qilin grew fearful before this scene, its tail no longer swaying.

"A few more Light Spells—let's reshape it."

With a thought, the Light Spell flared again in his hand.

Repeated several times, even the Solar System was stained with the aura of light.

He tossed down a handful of seeds—347 spirit herbs, staple grains, and weeds—then unleashed the Creation Light several more times; instantly, spring returned to the earth, green surging like a tide, covering the entire planet.

"The last spark of life in this world has finally been saved," Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly. "With my calculation arts, to say 'the Dao is with me' should be no problem."

As he finished, the trajectory of this universe halted, no longer colliding toward the young Zhang Sanfeng's world; instead, the boundary walls fused with the young Zhang Sanfeng's world, becoming a twin world.

Though Zhang Taixuan could not see the boundary walls, he could calculate heavenly fate, and soon understood the state of heaven and earth, forming new ideas.

"Chat group lottery: ten six-star draws."

【Ding, you drew a six-star (Sage-level) lottery and obtained 100,000 jin of Lamb's Fat Bai Yu Divine Iron.】

【Ding, you drew a six-star reward and obtained 110,000 jin of Great Luo Silver Essence.】

【Ding, … you obtained six Bi Luo Elixirs.】

Bi Luo Elixir: a divine pill refined from Bi Luo fruit, greatly beneficial to cultivation at the Sage realm.

【Ding, you obtained two Sage-level healing elixirs.】

After claiming the rewards, he tossed the Lamb's Fat Bai Yu Divine Iron into the Qiankun Cauldron; moments later, a white jade seal appeared in his hand.

Gazing at the void rift, he hurled the seal outward; instantly, spatial power radiated from it, mending the void rift.

Simultaneously, the seal imprinted the auras of both worlds, gaining the ability to traverse and communicate between the two realms.

Moments passed.

The seal was retrieved.

Holding the seal in hand, he inscribed numerous array patterns, making it even more wondrous.

"This thing could serve as the golden finger of a two-worlds novel's protagonist!"
