Chapter 118: Re-entering Baiyu Jing: The New Arrival, the Statuette Immortal

Dense clouds of sandalwood mist stretched endlessly, while surging waves of killing aura rose in swirling vapor.

Within the True Realm of the Dao, [Lingbao Tianzun] wore a crown of blue lotus, a boundless halo rising behind His head, purple radiance flowing and reflecting, holding a formation chart, with four swords suspended at His sides, the primordial aura of the ancestral Jie manifesting endless wondrous light, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred yuan qi converging to envelop all directions.

Chaotic crimson script drifted, ethereal and colorful, forming six hundred sixty-eight jade characters, inscribing the ultimate truth of the Dao, revealing the origin of Tianzun.

Finally, all radiant light faded, all strange phenomena vanished, the chaotic crimson script coalesced into a single scroll of Daoist scripture, settling into [Lingbao Tianzun]’s hands.

Thus, the transcendent office was forged.

[Yuanshi Tianzun] sat in the center, [Lingbao Tianzun] to the left, [Daode Tianzun] to the right.

Within the Primordial Azure Heaven, all gods bowed their hands;

Amidst the Great Fuli Earth, all sages offered reverence;

The myriad demonic kings wandered through the azure heavens, chanting the Song of the Demon King, their sacred verses radiant and brilliant, piercing the boundless void.

After the third office coalesced successfully, Xiang Xuanqing, Jing Yao, and Yuchen sat motionless in the void, silent and still.

All three of them perceived the wondrous, ineffable mysteries of the Dao.

The three offices of the Heavenly Venerables complemented one another, the myriad Dao and methods flowing naturally.

The primordial qi, mysterious qi, and original qi evolved countless manifestations of the Dao.

There were images of emptiness and non-being, images of chaos, images of yin-yang differentiation, images of heaven, earth, and all things, images of countless kalpas, images of epochal transitions…

Faintly, the forms of the three Heavenly Venerables changed once more.

Yuanshi Tianzun had no form, no appearance; Daode Tianzun was elusive, invisible; Lingbao Tianzun hovered between presence and absence.

To say He exists, yet He cannot be summoned or greeted;

To say He does not exist, yet He lingers in ambiguity;

Thus, He is not-being yet is, not-non-being yet non-being; seen, He has no form; heard, He has no sound;

Within the wondrous being and wondrous non-being, within the boundless and infinite, the Dao endures.

“My god, Pangu! Are the Lord and the others about to attain Dao-certification?!” Wang Chuan, witnessing the transformation of the three Heavenly Venerables, faintly sensed the boundless might of the Dao spilling forth—such pressure made him instinctively want to prostrate.

“Don’t panic—what grand spectacle haven’t we seen before?”

Wu You and Ming He stood to left and right, shielding Wang Chuan in the center.

Both of them held higher positions within the True Realm of the Dao and were unaffected.

Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and Yuding Zhenren hurried over as well.

“Is the Sect Master truly about to attain Dao-certification as a Great Luo?!” Guangchengzi stared at the grand spectacle before him, overwhelmed with excitement.

This is what it means to have a bright future!

Three Great Luos emerging in a single day—our Chan Sect is about to flourish!

Yuding Zhenren nodded: “If the captives in Taisa Heaven Palace found out, some gods would break down.”

“Break down? Not likely.” Chijingzi smiled brightly. “If Meng Huai found out, He’d harvest another wave of feedback from the Dao of Performance.”

“Hahaha!”

The three disciples of the Chan Sect laughed together.

Wang Chuan turned to Wu You: “Dream sister, if the Lord attains Dao-certification, should I borrow the Taiji Map to play with, or the Pangu Banner?”

“The Qiankun Cauldron isn’t bad either—ah, so hard to choose.”

Wang Chuan was already daydreaming about the bright future.

Knowing Xiang Xuanqing as He did, once Xiang Xuanqing attained Dao-certification, any other sect’s spiritual treasures targeted by Him would eventually be lured back by Him.

“You’re just too greedy,” Dream Wu You chuckled lightly.

Compared to the wildly excited Four Demon Generals, the two Demon Kings were far more composed.

“Dao-certification?”

Ming He crossed his arms, calmly watching the scene within the Primordial Azure Heaven. He shook his head: “You still don’t understand Xiang Xuanqing well enough.”

“Not to mention the three offices haven’t fully coalesced yet—even if they did, given Xiang Xuanqing’s nature, if He were to attain Dao-certification, He’d never do it silently within the True Realm.”

“He’d definitely make a massive, earth-shattering spectacle.”

“Even if He doesn’t scare all the gods of the Honghuang, He’ll surely shake the myriad worlds.”

“Hey! That actually makes sense!” The four demon generals, after hearing the Great Xuan Demon King’s analysis, found it highly plausible.

As Lord of the Underworld, the current Taiwei Emperor, the Primordial Demon King, and a supreme deity with countless disguises across the heavens.

Xiang Xuanqing has always disliked subtlety.

Do you know what the current Taiwei Yuan’s motto is?

“Firmly promote the Taiwei Yuan’s unorthodox spirit, continuously advancing the Taiwei Yuan’s chaos-inducing agenda.”

If the three Heavenly Venerables were to attain Dao-certification, Xiang Xuanqing would never sneak off quietly—he’d definitely throw a massive event.

And it would be thoroughly unorthodox.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was startled by the commotion within the True Realm of the Dao; He thought His Zhuxian Four Swords had been borrowed, and now Xiang Xuanqing had already completed Dao-dyeing.

Turns out He was just forging offices.

“You scared me half to death.” Luo Hou agreed with Wu You and Ming He—He stood higher, saw more clearly.

The three supreme offices together now easily equaled one Great Luo Dao Fruit.

But to say all three simultaneously transcended, becoming eternally free and unbound—that still fell short.

The Taiyi gods coexist with the Dao—they are the source of the Dao.

The Great Luo Sovereign embraces all existence—they are the totality of the Dao.

For a Taiyi to attain Great Luo is to progress from the source of the Dao toward embracing all existence.

The True Realm of the Dao is infinitely profound, yet insufficient to support Xiang Xuanqing, Jing Yao, and Yuchen simultaneously completing the step of “embracing all existence.”

“Still, Xiang Xuanqing used the Zhuxian Four Swords to forge the [Lingbao Tianzun] office—this supreme office is itself one of the sources of Dao-dyeing… then my Zhuxian Four Swords and the formation chart…” The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou grew anxious.

By the time He retrieved His set of divine weapons, who knew what state they’d be in?

Considering the case of [Daode Tianzun], He felt something was very wrong!!

“Ah, I was careless.”

The formation of the three Heavenly Venerables benefited Xiang Xuanqing and the other two immensely.

Wu You, Ming He, Wang Chuan, and the three Chan Sect disciples all gained greatly from observing the Dao.

Everyone remained within the True Realm for a long time.

During this period, the Honghuang remained peaceful, tranquil and blissful.

The main shrine of Zu Long operated as usual.

Yuan Huang continued advancing the purification of heaven and earth, while simultaneously rebuilding the Xiongshendian.

During the Opening Heaven Calamity, the eighty-two Fuxi concentrated their efforts and annihilated the entire Xiongshou Clan.

Now, the ancestral elders of the Phoenix Clan were reassembling the Niepan Yin, temporarily unable to cause trouble. Meanwhile, the Qilin Clan, on one hand, used various systems and godlike advantages to cultivate the qi-yun children of the myriad worlds, and on the other, diligently buried themselves underground, dedicating themselves to the Dao of earth and wood and the grand work of creation.

Even the usually restless Taiyi gods had finally grown quiet.

No choice—they’d taken a heavy blow from the demonic Dao alliance during the Opening Heaven Calamity, then been ruthlessly slaughtered by Fuxi and Nvwa, and still hadn’t recovered.

The terrorist Shen Ni had also been driven into self-imposed isolation by the Phoenix Clan and was now awaiting transformation.

“Huh? Is the Baiyu Jing Assembly opening again?”

After a long period of calm, Xiang Xuanqing received an invitation from Hong Jun.

Jing Yao and Yuchen were invited too.

“Then let’s go take a look.”

All three had gained greatly—perfect timing for a change of pace.

The Artisan Immortal, the Alchemist Immortal, the Formation Immortal—online!

“Welcome, Immortals of the myriad worlds!”

In the first city of Baiyu Jing, Yang Mei Dao Ren delivered his usual opening line.

Streets large and small shimmered with radiant lights; the Immortals bowed their hands to Hong Jun and Yang Mei.

Then everyone found their own stalls.

“Kun meat, kun meat! No waiting!”

“Kun meat, kun meat! Extremely satisfying!”

“Immortals, don’t miss out—don’t linger, hurry and buy two skewers of kun meat!”

[Barbecue Immortal] Nan Hua had updated his advertising slogan.

“Line up properly, follow me!” [Tour Guide Immortal] unfurled a banner depicting two great trees sheltering flowers and grass as they wandered the starry heavens.

“Meow~~ Back to Baiyu Jing for free meals again!” [Immortal of Immortality] Yaochi darted through the streets and alleys as a three-flower cat.

“Soul-returning pills for sale! Free samples!”

“Wholesale, wholesale! Divine weapons and spiritual treasures in bulk—discounted prices!”

“Sword techniques and formation arts—guaranteed to teach you, accepting pre-orders, door-to-door service!”

The trio of Xiang Xuanqing gathered together, renting a large shop in the second city of Baiyu Jing, painting its sign with the name “Sanqing Dian.”

They also sculpted a qi-yun golden dragon at the entrance to greet guests.

“Artisan Immortal, can your dragon stop spitting water? You’ve flooded my stall!”

“My god, Pangu! Why is this dragon thundering?! Oh no, I’m getting electrocuted!”

“I protest! The Artisan Immortal’s dragon stole my customers!”

“Where are the Enforcement Immortals? Call them quickly!”

At the entrance of Sanqing Dian, the qi-yun golden dragon unleashed its power—summoning clouds, spreading rain, swallowing mist, roaring thunder and flashing lightning—utterly bustling.

A group of immortal vendors met with misfortune.

They shouted for enforcement immortals while quickly retreating.

“White Jade Capital is so lively!”

A female immortal with a refined aura arrived at the Second City, accompanied by Hong Jun and Yang Mei, carrying a bundle of scrolls.

“Where do you plan to set up your stall?” Hong Jun asked kindly.

“Right near Sanqing Store!”

Nv Wa immediately spotted her target.

Yang Mei smiled: “Friend, you have excellent taste!”

Hong Jun grinned: “You’re new, and normally first-timers aren’t allowed to open shops—but today is a special day in White Jade Capital, so we’ll make an exception and arrange one for you.”

Nv Wa asked curiously: “What special day is it?”

“Hmm… let me think.” Hong Jun turned his gaze to Yang Mei.

Yang Mei pulled out a calendar: “Today is auspicious—perfect for opening!”

Nv Wa smiled gently.

With Hong Jun and Yang Mei’s help, Nv Wa quickly opened her shop.

The shop was located directly across from “Sanqing Store.”

“What should I name it?”

She thought for a moment, then swiftly wrote on the signboard: “Feng Li Xi’s Creation Cottage.”

Then Nv Wa took out from her scrolls a series of clay figurines.

Cute little people, adorable little animals, majestic deities, powerful divine beasts…

Xiang Xuanqing, seeing the new immortal arrive, brought Jingyao and Yuchen specifically to take a look.

“We’re alchemy immortals, pill-making immortals, array immortals!”

Xiang Xuanqing and the others introduced themselves warmly.

“Friend, what kind of immortal are you?”

“Me?”

Nv Wa tilted her head and pondered for a while.

“I’ve got it!”

A flash of inspiration struck her—she recalled a term she’d heard at Mount Qingqiu Academy.

“I’m a [Figurine Immortal]!”
