Chapter 715

"And the source of Shushan lies in the Daoism of the Immortal World. To be precise, it is the three giants of Daoism, the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestral Masters, the Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Venerable..."

514. Fu Hua: Fine, fine, the Honkai is resolved, and now a Heavenly Demon has come.

"Shangqing... Lingbao Heavenly Venerable?"

Fu Hua looked at Himeko in shock. After recalling, Kallen was even more astonished.

This Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Venerable was one of the three supreme gods in Shenzhou Daoist mythology. Strictly speaking, he was a Daluo.

In the status of Daoism, he was even higher than God in Christianity.

"Wait! Are you saying that such a Daluo from mythology actually exists?"

Fu Hua looked at Himeko in astonishment, and the latter nodded.

"That's right. Strictly speaking, it is precisely because they exist that their myths have spread throughout the heavens and worlds."

"A Daluo whose own existence transcends the Great Dao and who is eternally free and at ease."

"The Shenzhou myths you have heard are basically all true."

"Nüwa creating humans, Fuxi drawing the Eight Trigrams to open the heavens, the Haotian God monitoring all Daos..."

"These beings are all real Daluo."

"They are free throughout the heavens and worlds; even if the worlds are destroyed, their own freedom remains unchanged."

"As one of the leaders of Daoism in the Immortal World, the Daluo that Shushan follows is naturally the Lingbao Great Heavenly Venerable, who is one of the Three Pure Ones."

"Besides that, the original Shushan of the Immortal World had very extensive connections. In addition to following the Lingbao Great Heavenly Venerable, it also possessed three Ancestral Masters at the Taiyi level."

"The names of these three Ancestral Masters are unknown, but according to the information we have obtained..."

"These three Ancestral Masters had extensive friendships. They had very good relationships with the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Manifestation Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, the Four Royals and Five Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell of the Underworld, the Four Sea Dragon Kings..."

"And even the Guanyin World-Honored One, the Samantabhadra World-Honored One, and the Meritorious Buddha of the Buddhist sect."

Kallen was silent for a moment and said somewhat strangely:

"The Meritorious Buddha is... Tang Sanzang?"

Himeko smiled and nodded.

"There really is a Tang Sanzang? Then wouldn't there also be a Sun Wukong?"

Kallen asked casually, feeling puzzled. Kiana said in surprise:

"Sister Kallen, how did you know?"

"The technique I chose in the Shushan Scripture Pavilion is the remnant of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's World-Confusing Demon Ape Staff Technique. I am also a successor of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

Kallen was silent.

She swore she had just asked casually.

"In fact, all the beings mentioned above are Taiyi, while Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Zhu Bajie, Nezha, etc., are all great beings at the Golden Immortal level."

"Coincidentally..."

Himeko smiled and spread her hands:

"These great gods are also friends of Shushan and have left behind quite a few legacies in Shushan."

"For example, Head Seat Zhongli's Clear Source Wonderful Law Manifestation Saint Curse, Kiana's World-Confusing Demon Ape Staff Technique, and so on."

"The immortals you are familiar with basically all have good relationships with Shushan."

"This is the source of Shushan: the Shushan Dao Sect of the Immortal World, one of the leaders of Daoism, and one of the largest forces in the Immortal World."

"At the same time, it is precisely because of such a foundation that the Shushan of the lower realm can become the leader of the righteous path in the cultivation world."

Fu Hua was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:

"Teacher Himeko, you said earlier that this is the original Shushan, so now..."

Himeko and the others were silent for a moment and shook their heads.

"They are all gone... No one knows what happened. All cultivators call that day the Day of Dharma Destruction."

"In one day, the entire heavens and worlds, all the Chaos Seas, and all areas covered by the Dao collapsed."

"Only a Daluo could do this, but... no one dared to think too much about it."

"A Daluo is not an immortal; it is an existence that transcends the Dao. A cultivator spends their whole life just chasing the end of the Dao."

"Even if one reaches the end of the Dao and becomes a Taiyi, one cannot get the attention of a Daluo."

"In short, the past doesn't matter anymore. Shushan has accumulated a lot of foundation, and the Sect Leader is also an existence with extremely strong talent. With him here, Shushan will soon be revived."

"Just like now."

Himeko smiled and said softly:

"The Sect Leader is an expert at the late stage of Refining Void into Dao. In addition, there is Head Seat Zhongli at Refining Spirit into Void, and other Head Seats and Elders at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Shushan is also gradually recovering and becoming stronger. As long as you reach the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, you can easily suppress the Honkai. Reaching the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, you can easily modify the Imaginary Tree."

"By then, not only can the Honkai in the Honkai world be resolved, but the entire Tree and Sea universe will be free of Honkai."

"In short, cultivation is the most important thing right now."

"Besides, the Honkai is not the most troublesome thing we are facing now. Cultivators also have their own enemies."

Fu Hua and Kallen hadn't reacted yet, but after a moment of silence, they suddenly understood Himeko's words.

They looked at her in astonishment.

"So, a disaster even more terrifying than the Honkai has descended?"

"Yes."

Himeko nodded helplessly.

"This is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Even if we don't cultivate, we can't escape it."

"This is a crisis that affects all the heavens and worlds except for the Immortal World."

"Compared to them, the Honkai doesn't even compare to an ordinary soldier of the other side."

Fu Hua pondered for a moment, her eyes lighting up. She vaguely remembered that in the cultivation novels she had read before, there was a type of existence called Demonic Cultivators...

"Is it... Demonic Cultivators?"

Himeko was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head:

"Very close, but... Demonic Cultivators are not very troublesome either."

"After the Day of Dharma Destruction, the entire cultivation world suffered a heavy blow."

"Even if they are Demonic Cultivators, it is impossible for them to recover so quickly. They do use extreme cultivation methods, and their cultivation speed is faster than ordinary cultivators."

"But whether it is devouring life to cultivate or plucking from cauldrons, where are there so many lives in the current cultivation world?"

"Shushan being able to have a Refining Void into Dao powerhouse so quickly after the Day of Dharma Destruction is already the best in the entire cultivation world."

"According to the Sect Leader, the strongest human in the entire cultivation world right now is probably only at the late stage of Refining Spirit into Void."

Fu Hua nodded slightly and asked again:

"Is it the Demon race?"

Himeko shook her head.

"The Demon race also needs time to accumulate cultivation. What's more, the Shushan world itself is now full of all spirits, and there are many Demon races."

"But these Demon races all have to rely on Shushan to survive. To put it bluntly, they are affiliated races of Shushan."

Kiana nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes! Mei and I followed Senior Sister Ganyu to notify the major Demon races the day before yesterday."

"Those Demon races are at most at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, but... the Demon race is indeed very interesting."

"We saw the Bi-Wing Bird clan, the Qingqiu Fox clan, the Golden Eagle clan, the Stone Spirit clan..."

"Those Demon races were quite polite to Senior Sister Ganyu, and we even got some gifts."

Fu Hua nodded thoughtfully.

Since even immortals existed, having more monsters was nothing she couldn't accept.

"Then what kind of existence is it?"

Himeko sighed.

"Cultivators, besides the traditional enemies of demons and monsters, have the most troublesome enemy... the Heavenly Demons."

"Heavenly Demons! Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons?"

Fu Hua felt her scalp tingle. Himeko glanced at her; Fu Hua knew more than she had expected.

"Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons do exist, but that is an existence of the Immortal World."

"The Heavenly Demons of the cultivation world are a very special kind of life. Simply put..."

"They are Desire Heavenly Demons."
