Chapter 122: The Entire Big Project: Attaining

“Not stirring up trouble, fear and dread rise and fall unpredictably; not stirring up trouble, youth vanishes in an instant.”

“Not stirring up trouble, suffering persists without transcendence; not stirring up trouble, all actions lose all meaning.”

Xiang Xuanqing hummed an odd little tune as he returned to Sanqingdian, drawing curious glances from Xiang Yuchen.

“What did you do at the Zao Hua Xiaowu? You’re so cheerful,” asked Xiang Yuchen.

“Didn’t do much—just placed an order,” Xiang Xuanqing replied nonchalantly.

“Didn’t do much? Your smile’s about to split your face.”

Jing Yao, upon seeing this, smirked: “Still pretending to be one of the Li brothers—you won’t even tell us this?”

“Ah, if you know ahead of time, it’s no surprise.”

Xiang Xuanqing thought for a moment, then gave a brief explanation: “I ordered a gift for our Mo Zu—something like this.”

He pulled out a scroll and unrolled it.

“Huh?”

After reading it, Jing Yao and Xiang Yuchen’s smiles stretched wildly.

“You ordered a figurine of Mo Zu for Wu Luo?”

Could a proper divine being conceive such a thing?

“There’s more to this,” Jing Yao sensed immediately—Xiang Xuanqing was hiding something.

“Well… not yet,” Xiang Xuanqing smiled mysteriously.

“Fine, don’t tell me.”

Jing Yao let out a light huff and stepped out of Sanqingdian, heading straight for the Zao Hua Xiaowu.

“Feng Dao you, I’m placing an order too.”

Xiang Yuchen blinked: “I just spotted a figurine I like—I’ll be right back.”

Xiang Xuanqing continued receiving guests.

[War Chariot Immortal] Xi He, diligent as ever, brought Xiang Xuanqing many immortals.

Most were visitors from the great and lesser worlds within the Bai Yujing realm.

Xiang Xuanqing took the opportunity to observe these immortals’ transformations and exchanged some cultivation scriptures.

“Their foundations are solid—Bai Yujing’s current qi-refinement cultivation methods must be doing well.”

Xiang Xuanqing flipped through several immortal scriptures, nodding repeatedly: “These were written by Hong Jun and the others? Quite good.”

All stall owners in Bai Yujing were primordial deities—bearing the title of immortals, yet lacking their true substance.

Judging from these scriptures, Bai Yujing’s cultivation system remains fragmented, a patchwork of individual experiments by Hong Jun and others.

“Wandering the mortal world to refine the heart—trying to imitate Ren Xian?”

“Land-based sword immortals, ascension methods—is this some kind of Di Xian?”

“True and unfeigned, refining falsehood into truth—this definition of ‘Zhen Xian’ is quite good.”

Xiang Xuanqing read through several immortal scriptures with great interest.

After he gave Hong Jun some ideas last time, Bai Yujing had begun exploring several paths to immortality.

“By the way, we haven’t defined Tian Xian yet.”

Xiang Xuanqing’s expression grew thoughtful—he’d already had an idea, but needed to refine it further.

“Since I have time, why not practice?”

Xiang Xuanqing pulled a scroll from his sleeve and began cultivating on the spot.

When Jing Yao and Xiang Yuchen returned, they saw Sanqingdian filled with misty auroras and profound dao energy.

Immortal qi swirled in all directions; infinite rules glowed with radiant light.

“What the hell did you do while we were gone?” Jing Yao was stunned.

Has stirring up trouble become zero-frame now?

They’d barely left, and Xiang Xuanqing was already stirring up trouble again?!

Xiang Yuchen, seeing the boundless dao phenomena in the shop, stared closely.

There sat Xiang Xuanqing, upright and composed, his spirit platform luminous, his mind clear and complete, his life and spirit fused, his form and soul exquisitely refined.

Five elemental primordial qi surged from his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—vividly colorful, ethereal as an immortal.

The five qi gathered atop his head, burst through his ancestral aperture, rose toward the void, and in the dim, unfathomable depths, the three flowers representing essence, qi, and spirit blazed brilliantly.

“Who is cultivating?”

All immortals in the Fifth Heaven City felt it.

Hong Jun’s eyes flashed with brilliance—he looked up and saw Xiang Xuanqing seated calmly, his head crowned with misty immortal light, five qi converging, three flowers swaying, as if one with heaven and earth, one with the Great Void.

“Da Luo Jin Xian?” Yin Yang Dao Ren’s eyes widened, his pupils nearly popping out.

Five qi converging, three flowers gathering at the crown—wasn’t this the Dao image Hong Jun had demonstrated during his deductions?

What the hell did Feng Du do—suddenly become a Da Luo Jin Xian?

The five immortals stood up at once.

Dong Hua and Yao Chi exchanged glances.

“Meow?” Lu Wu licked his paw, then lowered it.

He stared blankly at Sanqingdian.

Wow, there really are three flowers!

“Cut!”

At the moment the five qi converged and the three flowers gathered, Xiang Xuanqing opened his eyes and uttered a low command.

A boundless sword slashed down from the void, instantly scattering the five qi and three flowers.

The boundless immortal light receded; as the three thousand rules spread across the void, on the verge of dissolving, Xiang Xuanqing flicked his finger—a scroll flew from the Lingbao district and gathered all three thousand rules.

“Collect!”

All of Xiang Xuanqing’s insights from this enlightenment were sealed within the long scroll.

“Just attaining Tian Xian—I almost lost control.”

Xiang Xuanqing chuckled, shook his head, and brushed his hand across the scroll, inscribing two primordial dao characters: “Tian Shu.”

“From now on, this will be our Tian Xian lineage’s supreme dao scripture,” Xiang Xuanqing tossed the newly forged Tian Shu casually to Jing Yao.

“Tian Xian?”

Jing Yao reached out and caught it.

“Yes—what you’re holding is the Tian Xian Dao Guo.”

Xiang Xuanqing said: “Comprehend the three thousand rules, enter the dimension of time and space, evolve past, present, and future bodies over infinite eons, then fuse the three bodies into one, eternal and unique, then forge a Tian Dao, inscribe its name in the Tian Shu—and you graduate, attaining Tian Xian.”

Xiang Yuchen’s mouth twitched: “An immortal who forges a Tian Dao is called Tian Xian?”

“Isn’t that too demanding?”

“It’s fine.”

Xiang Xuanqing said calmly: “I never said you had to attain Tian Xian in Hong Huang Zhen Jie—you can go to Heng Sha worlds, Xiao Qian worlds, Zhong Qian worlds, Da Qian worlds...”

“As long as the world’s rules are complete, once you comprehend them, forging a corresponding Tian Dao isn’t hard.”

“What if they’re incomplete?” asked Jing Yao.

“Then it’s more troublesome,” Xiang Xuanqing replied. “The simple way is to shatter the void and travel to another world with complete rules.”

“If you want to stay in your native world, you can merge your body with the Dao, become the Tian Dao yourself, then follow the Tian Shu’s guidance to gradually repair the world’s rules—afterward, transcending your world still lets you attain Tian Xian.”

Xiang Yuchen nodded: “If so, the He Dao Immortal can perfect the world’s rules, use the native world as a foundation, and pave the way for future Tian Xian—quite good.”

“Then He Dao Immortals have great merit to heaven and earth—we can reward them with virtue!” Jing Yao grinned—now the Deity Dao could be used again, brilliant!

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “If the world’s environment is too harsh for one immortal to repair the Tian Dao, you can gather several immortals—each mastering one of the three thousand rules. After becoming Tian Dao, they can learn from each other.”

“Then three thousand immortals aiding one another—ascending together as Tian Xian isn’t impossible.”

“Brilliant! Extremely brilliant!”

Xiang Yuchen laughed heartily—imagining three thousand immortals helping each other repair world rules filled him with exhilaration.

Wasn’t dawn’s light born just like this?

“Of course, this Tian Xian method still needs refinement.”

Xiang Xuanqing said: “We must also consider the most extreme case—worlds with low or no spiritual energy, where the Dao is invisible and rules are absent—worlds without even a single immortal, let alone a path to attainment.”

“That’s simple—I’ll fill it in!”

Jing Yao was eager: “I’ve recently developed a Jin Dan method through alchemy—it can correct the immortal path and extend the Tian Xian method downward.”

“I think I can solve the spiritual energy problem.”

Xiang Yuchen pondered: “Use arrays—deploy them on the earth or in the stars to draw in chaos tides from beyond and convert them into world spiritual energy.”

“Another method: use grand visualization to unlock inner potential—visualize sun, moon, and stars to reverse-refine primordial qi—this too allows step-by-step cultivation.”

Jing Yao smiled: “Then refining Xuan Qi isn’t out of the question.”

Xiang Xuanqing smiled: “Shi Qi is acceptable too.”

The three brothers got straight to work, refining the Tian Xian method—starting with Shi, Xuan, and Yuan Qi, using Jin Dan as the foundation, and the Tian Dao method as the growth path. In Sanqingdian, they finalized the Tian Xian Dao in casual conversation.

“Come on, let’s cultivate too.”

Jing Yao eagerly began trying.

Xiang Yuchen sat down immediately.

Xiang Xuanqing closed the shop.

Moments later, boundless immortal light illuminated all directions.

The phenomenon of the Three Flowers converging at the crown and the Five Qi ascending to the source reappeared.

BOOM!!

“Again?!!”

The Five Immortals had just seen the Three Flowers and Five Qi dissipate, thinking Xiang Xuanqing had failed to take the final step and had failed to attain enlightenment.

Now, Sanqingdian had once again manifested a Dao phenomenon.

This time, the commotion was even greater than before.

“Is it the Alchemy Immortal? The Array Immortal? Did they also attain enlightenment?”

The Inverted Immortal was utterly stunned; He stopped being inverted and instantly appeared outside Sanqingdian.

Nan Hua, who sold barbecue on the First Heavenly City, darted into the Zao Hua small house.

Jie Yin moved just as swiftly, following right after.

Yin Yang, Qian Kun, Dong Hua, and Yao Chi all followed after them.

Only Hong Jun and Yang Liu remained still.

They stayed in the Fifth Heavenly City, casually concealing the phenomenon and calming the other Immortals, making them ignore the earlier commotion.

“What do you think?” Hong Jun asked.

Yang Liu pulled out a willow-vine chair: “Watch while lying down.”

“Unbecoming,” Hong Jun shook his head, took out a meditation cushion, and sat down slowly.

“What’s going on?” Nv Wa hurried out of her workshop, mid-way making a figurine, and found several Immortals inside the Zao Hua small house—and a cat.

“Meow~~”

Lu Wu waved his plump paw at Nv Wa in greeting.

“Hello, friend!” The Immortals pretended to be customers browsing for figurines, but their eyes never left the door of Sanqingdian.

“Xi Xi, welcome to Bai Yu Jing,” said Yao Chi, the Immortal of Immortality, with a faint smile, sending a voice message.

“Call me the Figurine Immortal!” Nv Wa glared.

Yao Chi nodded: “Alright, Xi Xi Immortal.”

“It’s Figurine Immortal!”

“I know, Xi Xi Immortal.”

“Hmph!” Nv Wa snorted.

A flash of radiant light passed; Yao Chi felt a sudden lightness on her head.

Lu Wu was gone.

Nv Wa had taken her three-flower cat.

“Meow?!!”

Lu Wu looked utterly bewildered: What does this have to do with me?

The cat lay limp in Nv Wa’s arms, not daring to struggle.

“Cut!”

“Cut!”

Two soft commands echoed, and the commotion within Sanqingdian vanished once more.

Soon after, the three of Xiang Xuanqing opened the door again to welcome guests.

The seven Immortals immediately abandoned Nv Wa and surged into Sanqingdian.

Even Yao Chi abandoned her own pet.

“My three friends, you were just cultivating…” The Inverted Immortal looked at the Li brothers with eager eyes.

“Yes.”

Xiang Xuanqing said calmly: “We merely attained the rank of Heavenly Immortal. No need to be surprised.”

“Just a Heavenly Immortal?”

The Immortals collectively rolled their eyes.

Was that commotion from a Heavenly Immortal?

You mean a Great Luo Heavenly Immortal, right?!!
