Chapter 549

"It seems the Dao Venerable has already made the decision to take the final leap."

Fang Xing was quite moved.

For a 15th-realm Eternal to transcend, they must first relinquish the Great Dao they pioneered and let a Dao Lord take control of it.

This is called "Filling the Dao"!

Dao Lord Xiaoyao is the product chosen by the Dao Venerable to "act to reduce and seek emptiness."

It was just heard that Dao Lord Xiaoyao had been vaguely resistant before; it is unknown why they suddenly saw the light.

"It's nothing more than coercion and inducement... Although Dao Lord has inherited the 'Great Dao of Immortals,' they are still a Dao Lord, and have gained a lot of karma for nothing... But at least the power of the Dao Court is not fake."

"Once the Dao Venerable succeeds in transcending, Dao Lord Xiaoyao will surely be able to sit firmly in that position."

"Moreover, ordinary 14th-realm Dao Lords might never be able to ascend to the 15th realm in their entire lives... If it were those Dao Lords with no hope for their path, they might even be grateful to the point of tears..."

A thousand thoughts flashed through Fang Xing's mind, and he then spoke: "This matter is truly a big deal... However, although we are not ants in this True Immortal World, we definitely cannot be considered high-level figures. As long as we carefully survive this period and don't get caught in the crossfire... it doesn't have much to do with us who is sitting in the Dao Court, right?"

"Sigh, if only it were simple to hide. Dao Lord Xiaoyao has issued an order that all of us guards must go to the Dao Court to serve as an honor guard..."

Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty gave a bitter smile and said: "In the eyes of other immortals, this is a supreme honor. Not just any Dao Court army can serve as an honor guard and witness at such a moment..."

"I don't want to go. It's too close. If an accident happens, it's easy to get blood splattered on me..."

"Sigh... After years of hard cultivation and ascending to become an immortal, I find that I am a member of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and the ending is to be cannon fodder when that Eternal who pioneered the Heavenly Yao or Demonic Dao stirs up trouble?"

Fang Xing sighed in his heart: "Can it not be declined?"

"Military orders are like mountains. 'Immortal Fengluo,' who is in charge of this matter, has already spoken. Even if one goes into demonic deviation or even dies... one must die in the Dao Court!"

Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty replied with a bitter smile: "Otherwise... I wouldn't want to wade into these muddy waters either..."

"Since that is the case, there is no other way..."

Fang Xing let out a long breath: "But soldiers come to block, water comes to cover... that's all."

Great Xia Universe.

Secret Realm of Embers.

Fang Xing held the imitation Grand Void Stone, and his consciousness entered a grand hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a stunning white-haired woman sitting cross-legged, talking eloquently: "What I have comprehended today is the 'Dao of Balance'... Someone previously said that the inheritance of the stone pillars is the Natural Dao. This is both right and wrong. The concept of nature can be very large, and it is by no means just ordinary forests and lakes... Some people also include agriculture and civilization, but this is still not enough... So-called nature can be all things in the universe, it can be everything..."

This is Empress Catherine of Ice giving a lecture.

Over the years, the masters of the Starry Sky Civilization have worked together, and there have even been Dao Lords and Eternal-realm existences from the outside world offering advice.

Comprehending the inheritance of the ten stone pillars has gradually deepened, but they are still often stuck.

"The so-called balance... is not equilibrium, but the opposition of Dao and Dao... it is the collection of all action forces and reaction forces..."

Catherine continued her lecture.

Fang Xing nodded repeatedly as he listened.

He had listened to many lectures and had also gone up to give one himself.

But when it came down to it, Catherine's lectures were still the best.

"It's just a pity, it's also very superficial... As for those ten, no, nine broken inheritances, no one can comprehend them at all..."

"Even the Starry Sky Civilization, the Zerg, and the Exotic Beast Civilization have tried, but they cannot take the broken inheritance out of the secret realm..."

Fang Xing felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was able to take away that broken horn, it must have been the power of the Gate of Heavens.

And it seems that because his cultivation avatar took away a piece of the broken inheritance, the difficulty of comprehending the incomplete inheritance has become even greater.

It might even have turned directly into a big trap?

"This is a place of right and wrong, not suitable for staying long. It's time to go."

He came to a rest area and took a glass of juice.

The ingredients for this juice are very precious. In the real world, even a Master would feel the pain of the cost, but it is casual in the virtual universe.

After waiting for a while, a Master wearing a bull-horned helmet walked over: "Fang Xing, are you leaving?"

"Yes... the latest spaceship."

Fang Xing drank the juice slowly: "My comprehension is too slow, and besides... this Natural Dao does not fit my path..."

"Well, it's good to leave. Lord Chixing has also left."

The Master with the bull-horned helmet said: "On the contrary, the Natural Dao overlaps with disaster and ice. Those two will not leave. So... see you again, my friend."

"Haha, let's talk again in the Grand Void Universe after you come out."

Fang Xing nodded.

The network here is similar to a "local area network" and cannot connect to the outside Grand Void Universe.

And now that each broken inheritance has an owner, the Secret Realm of Embers has passed its most dangerous moment.

Generally speaking, as long as one has the strength of a Rank 3 Master, one can travel alone.

However, for the sake of stability, Fang Xing still prepared to leave with the main force.

"After going out, I will return to New Blue Star to go into seclusion..."

"By accepting this mission, the Starry Sky Civilization assumes that I have completed three mandatory missions... The next three hundred years will be very relaxed."

"As for the cultivation avatar, I can only take it one step at a time... Anyway, I can pull him over at any time, and self-preservation shouldn't be a big problem."

True Immortal World.

"The main body left the secret realm and the journey back to New Blue Star was very smooth."

Dao Court.

Fang Xing was wearing the standard True Immortal armor, standing guard meticulously.

Not far away, Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty and True Immortal Luo Yun were also standing there, just like him.

"I feel like I'm more like one of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in the background now..."

"I just don't know if a monkey will come to attack during the Dao Venerable's succession ceremony?"

Fang Xing thought boredly. Not long ago, the Dao Court army he was in received a military order and arrived at the Dao Court headquarters through the Immortal Domain teleportation array.

This place is indeed majestic and vast, with purple energy coming from the east for thirty thousand miles.

The architecture of the Dao Court is even more exquisite, with cloud-top palaces, undersea dragon palaces, four-season divine temples, incense divine palaces... everything one could expect.

One can even see true dragons and heavenly phoenixes pulling carriages taking off and landing from certain palaces and caves from time to time.

It's just that... all of this has nothing to do with them.

Here, Fang Xing and the others are just small soldiers standing guard.

And they will stand there until the succession ceremony ends.

As a True Immortal, it's nothing to stand here for decades.

There are even great benefits after the celebration passes. After all, they are considered the personal soldiers of the new Dao Venerable, and they will surely be reused in the future, with very generous rewards.

It's just that this situation, where one doesn't know if danger will come or when it will erupt, makes Fang Xing very unhappy.

Please... you... collect_(!)

Chirp chirp!

Just at this moment, they heard phoenix cries again.

Looking out, they saw nineteen True Immortal-perfect phoenixes in the west, pulling a carriage made entirely of various flowers, dragging five-colored tassels as they came.

"It's Dao Lord Qiushui!"

A voice came to Fang Xing's ear.

He looked up and saw Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty looking at her nose and heart... as if she wasn't the one secretly transmitting the sound.

Fang Xing understood in his heart that for such a grand ceremony, all the Dao Lords of the thirty-three Immortal Domains under the Dao Court would come in person.

As far as his eyes could see, he saw the phoenix carriage land, and an existence with eyes like autumn water walked out of it.

Her whole body was wrapped in a circle of clear light, carrying the taste of eternal immortality, and the outermost circle was autumn water.

That autumn water was crystal clear and bone-chillingly cold.

Even just a glance made him lower his eyes involuntarily.

"So strong... similar to Dao Lord Master Wan Jian..."

"Sure enough, they are all 14th-realm Dao Lord and Dao Lord-level existences..."

"There are dozens of such Dao Lords in the entire Dao Court... and outside the Immortal Domain, there are also Demon Domains and Yao Domains..."

Fang Xing hurriedly collected his thoughts, but a belief in his heart became firmer: "One day, I will catch up..."

Time flies.

Forty-nine days later.

Dao Court, the Dao Venerable's succession ceremony was held as scheduled.

Fang Xing, Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty, and the others naturally had no qualifications to go in and watch the ceremony, so they were still standing guard at an immortal palace.

Clang clang!

Suddenly, a sound of chime music came.

The sound of these chimes was ethereal and solemn...

Fang Xing listened for a while and actually felt that his True Immortal body had been cleansed.

Although the gold and silver mana had not improved, it was inexplicably purer.

Then... konghou, long zither, jade flute... various musical sounds played together, and even Fang Xing and the other True Immortals on the outermost periphery inexplicably gained many benefits.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the thirty thousand miles of purple energy above the Dao Court.

This is the symbol of the Dao Court, and it also represents the Dao Venerable!

At this moment, this streak of purple energy actually began to fluctuate slowly.

"The old Dao Venerable is about to take the final leap..."

"To transcend, one must first act to reduce and seek emptiness, and cut off one's own threads... For the Dao Venerable, the Dao Court is the greatest karma."

"Now that it has been cut off, even if a few threads remain, it is no longer a big problem."

"After resolving the entanglements, it is the pulling force of transcendence... one needs to condense the characteristics of transcendence in advance."

Fang Xing had heard about this. The Dao Venerable had already condensed a streak of "Hongmeng Purple Energy," which should be better than transcending bloodlines.

Rumble!

Under everyone's gaze, that streak of purple energy boiled and rose continuously.

Thirty thousand miles!

Sixty thousand miles!

Ninety thousand miles!

In the purple energy, there was vaguely an old face, wanting to "ascend"!

"Transcendence?"

"Is this... transcendence?"

Fang Xing and the other honor guards and guards looked at all this respectfully.

Suddenly!

Just as the purple energy was about to break through one hundred thousand miles, a thin voice resounded through the world:

"This seat is the Yao Venerable, here to send a fellow Daoist on their way!"

This voice was sharp and piercing... and it seemed to turn into countless insects, wanting to drill into Fang Xing's mind.

"This... what is this?"

Fang Xing felt his mana stagnate instantly, and he couldn't even mobilize a single bit of the laws of time and space.

He seemed to see the giant at the entrance of the Secret Realm of Embers again. This trance made him wake up: "It's the aftermath of an Eternal's attack..."

Fang Xing looked forward and saw ears growing on Qiong Xianzi Your Majesty's head and many scales growing on her body.

A terrifying conflict emerged in her body, causing her to explode and die instantly, and even her primordial spirit mutated into half-human and half-demon, crazily dissipating...

This is... Heavenly Yao Transformation!
