Chapter 355

~21 min read 4,094 words

Up, down, left, and right are called 'Yu' (Space); past, present, and future are called 'Zhou' (Time).

Sacred beings traveling between ancient and modern times crossed the initial nodes, stepped on the light of time, and followed the space-time river down.

Under the shroud of the long light of time, three figures crossed the Heaven-Opening node almost simultaneously.

In this space-time river, there were three figures, bathed in gentle and majestic light of time, flowing downstream.

They had just crossed the initial node known as the "Heaven-Opening Era," a source full of Chaos, destruction, creation, and... shock.

The experience there, even for Great Luo Golden Immortals like them, was enough to be engraved on their Dao hearts, becoming an eternal topic of conversation and warning.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Guangcheng! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chijing! Both of you have proven the Taiji Dao and achieved the Great Luo fruit position, from now on roaming outside of space-time, indestructible through ten thousand tribulations!"

"Our Chan Sect's second-generation disciples have finally added two more pillars; in the future, you will hold the Netherworld reincarnation, shake all heavens, and the Netherworld will flourish; it is just around the corner!"

The speaker was a Daoist wearing a water-blue Daoist robe, with a handsome face but a slightly unrestrained temperament.

He was all smiles, his tone full of sincere joy, bowing and congratulating the two Daoists beside him whose auras were more steady and heavy.

These two were the inner disciples of the Chan Sect—Guangchengzi and Chi Chi Jingzi.

At this moment, Dao rhythm flowed on them; they were clearly having just stabilized the Taiji Great Luo realm, and their joy was overflowing.

Guangchengzi's face was simple, his eyes calm; hearing this, he nodded slightly and returned the salute: "Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu is too polite."

"We also want to congratulate Fellow Daoist for stepping into the sky in one step and proving the Great Luo unfettered Dao fruit."

"Speaking of which, Chijing Junior Brother and I were really surprised; we originally thought that Meng Huai, who is the most troublesome and least worry-free in the outer sect, would be the first to prove the Dao!"

"I didn't expect you to be the first to win the prize; it's truly gratifying!"

Chi Chi Jingzi's face was like jade, holding the Yin-Yang Mirror, and also laughed: "Exactly, exactly!"

"Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu is usually... well, very active, but Junior Brother Meng Huai's spirit of jumping up and down, fearing that the world won't be in chaos, is truly a unique feature of our Chan Sect."

"We previously even privately bet on when Junior Brother Meng Huai would poke a big hole, perform a shocking drama, and then be 'forced' to prove the Great Luo Dao to protect himself!"

Standing in front of them was the first disciple of the Chan Sect's outer sect—Fu Zhu!

He and the second disciple of the Chan Sect's outer sect, Meng Huai, were known as the "Two Evils of the Chan Sect."

Back then, they didn't do less in the Taisha Heavenly Palace, tricking the outer sect disciples to death.

Even the establishment of the Netherworld Sect and the Chan Sect was thanks to these two living treasures.

"This time Meng Huai lost a move and fell behind you in the step of proving the Great Luo; your position as the outer sect's first disciple should be as stable as a mountain."

Guangchengzi looked at Fu Zhu with a smile.

The Chan Sect's inner sect belongs to the Heavenly Immortals, holding the Netherworld.

The Chan Sect's outer sect belongs to the Demon Sect, transforming into Demon Kings.

Guangchengzi, as the first disciple of the inner sect, has to be careful to deal with the troublesome junior brothers and sisters on weekdays.

Fu Zhu, as the first disciple of a group of Demon Kings, can imagine the pressure.

If it weren't for the first senior sister 【Qingxiao Goddess】 Nv Qing holding the Demon Sect's law and suppressing that group of lawless Demon Kings from time to time, Fu Zhu, this first disciple, would have been overthrown long ago.

"This is just luck, not comparable to the two fellow Daoists."

Fu Zhu was very humble.

Chi Chi Jingzi shook his head: "Those who prove the Great Luo, who is lucky? Fellow Daoist is too modest."

Guangchengzi also laughed: "Exactly, there are no outsiders here; the unrestrained look you had after passing Great God Pangu's certification just now is different from now."

"Cough, cough~~"

Fu Zhu's face flushed, "Two fellow Daoists, don't expose my bottom."

Chi Chi Jingzi shook his head and said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist, this is wrong. Proving the Great Luo, transcending space-time, how can it be summarized by the word 'luck'?"

"Every Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun is a strong person who has experienced endless hardships, struggled to survive in the Great Dao, and finally saw through their own Dao path and condensed an immortal Dao fruit."

"The hardships, wisdom, and opportunities paid behind the scenes are all indispensable."

"Fellow Daoist's ability to prove the Dao against the trend while bearing the supreme pressure of the three Great God Pangus' 'certification' in the aftermath of this Heaven-Opening tribulation proves your extraordinariness."

Guangchengzi also laughed: "Exactly, exactly! Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu, there are no outsiders here, we are all fellow disciples."

"The unrestrained look you had after passing Great God Pangu's 'certification' at that Heaven-Opening node just now, we saw it clearly!"

"Compared to the humble gentleman look you have now, it's like two different people!"

"Cough, cough~~ cough, cough, cough!"

Fu Zhu was exposed, and even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush: "That... that was... momentarily unable to restrain my emotions!"

"Two fellow Daoists, don't expose my bottom."

He just couldn't help but howl twice after proving the Dao and transcending!

"Alright, alright, won't laugh at you." Chi Chi Jingzi saw that he was indeed somewhat embarrassed, so he changed the subject and asked curiously:

"Eh, by the way, Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu, this time you proved the Great Luo, what kind of position did you obtain from that 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】?"

As soon as this was said, Guangchengzi also showed interest.

The 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 is infinitely mysterious, and for Chan Sect disciples, it is even more like a huge treasure vault and cultivation accelerator.

It contains countless "positions" related to the Great Dao.

These positions are not simple titles, but the embodiment of Great Dao authority and the condensation of laws.

Obtaining the blessing of a position not only accelerates the speed of comprehending the corresponding Great Dao but also allows one to mobilize part of the power of heaven and earth laws, and even in specific situations, obtain some incredible divine abilities and protection.

Among them, the most important position is naturally the "Three Pure Ones Heavenly Sovereign" position, which symbolizes the source of the Great Dao and the supreme Dao fruit.

Next are the innate sacred positions transformed by major Demon Kings, Emperors, Upper Saints, and the Nine Qi of Taiwei Yuan Shi.

Chan Sect disciples can obtain many benefits from the 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】.

For example, one can invest a wisp of true spirit into it at any time to listen to the wonderful sounds of the Great Dao and comprehend the mysteries of laws.

One can also condense favorite positions according to one's own needs.

Even when the time is ripe, one can directly receive the position most compatible with one's own Dao from the Dao Dao Zhen Jing.

This has immeasurable benefits for consolidating the Dao foundation, improving strength, and even competing for heaven and earth authority in the future.

"Oh, I forgot if the two fellow Daoists didn't mention it." Fu Zhu patted his forehead, and a wisp of true spirit flew into the sky, causing the 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 in the dark to vibrate.

Before long, a light full of demonic energy descended and turned into a divine tablet.

Guangchengzi saw it and read the Dao text on it.

"Danling Upper True Tian Tian Mo Wang?"

Guangchengzi thought for a while and said: "This seems to be a Great Luo Tian Tian Mo Wang position of the 【Taishang Demon Lord】 lineage."

Chi Chi Jingzi laughed: "Heh, Taishang Uncle is looking at Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu!"

Fu Zhu took the divine tablet and said seriously: "Many thanks for Taishang Uncle's deep love!"

Just as Fu Zhu was about to put away the divine tablet, the 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 vibrated again, with even more movement than before!

"Eh? There's more?"

Immediately after, another light descended; this light was different from the previous demonic intent, full of grand atmosphere, vast vitality, and supreme majesty, as if containing the Taiwei Yuan Shi Dao rhythm of opening heaven and earth!

"This is?"

The three gods looked at the second divine tablet with puzzled expressions.

It clearly read: Antarctic Emperor Emperor Chang Chang Sheng Da Di!

"???"

Fu Zhu saw it, was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the divine tablet, so excited he was incoherent, bowing repeatedly toward the direction of the Jade Void Palace:

"Many thanks, Master! Many thanks for Master's deep love!"

"Master, you really love me too much! Disciple kowtows to you! Peng, peng, peng!"

His acting was very good, and he was so excited he almost really started kowtowing in the space-time river.

It's no wonder he was so out of character.

The position of "Antarctic Emperor Emperor Chang Chang Sheng Da Di" was too heavy!

This is not an ordinary Emperor position, but an innate sacred position transformed by the "Emperor Emperor Changsheng Qi," one of the "Nine Qi of Taiwei Yuan Shi"!

Obtaining it means that Fu Zhu will receive unimaginable blessings when practicing Taiwei Yuan Shi Dao, especially laws related to life, creation, and longevity.

Guangchengzi, who knew the inside story of this position, specifically reminded: "If the god represented by this position falls, Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu will definitely be able to share a piece of the pie from the other party's Great Dao."

It's definitely not a coincidence that the Sect Master gave this position.

One must know that the Antarctic Emperor Emperor Chang Chang Sheng Da Di is the Metal Qilin clan's alt.

Chi Chi Jingzi looked at Fu Zhu with some envy: "Fellow Daoist has deep blessings; now that the Beginning Metal Qilin is dead, you should work hard!"

This is asking the Sect Master to work hard, and Fu Zhu himself to work hard; it won't be a problem for Fu Zhu to grow into a giant in the future.

Of course, occupying the position of Antarctic Emperor Emperor Chang Chang Sheng Da Di also has some risks.

That is, if a Great Luo of the Metal Qilin clan falls in the future, theoretically there is a certain chance to return with the help of the 【Antarctic Emperor Emperor Chang Chang Sheng Da Di】 position.

However, as long as the Chan Sect exists for one day, the possibility of this happening is zero.

The name 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Heavenly Sovereign】 shakes all heavens; who dares to come and grab the position he personally bestowed upon his disciple?

Even the Beginning Metal Qilin himself would be in trouble.

The three newly promoted Great Luos finished counting their harvests in the Heaven-Opening Era, bathed in the baptism of the light of time, received the generous gifts of the Great Dao, and continued along the space-time river, returning to their Primordial World.

Hua, hua, hua~~

The space-time river flowed endlessly, the light and shadow in the river changed, reflecting countless strange scenes.

Halfway through, the three suddenly felt an indescribable creature passing by.

Guangchengzi looked and saw two slimy, chaotic, ignorant-smelling tentacles hanging in the air, counting gold coins one by one.

"Is this 【Evil】 or 【Calamity】?" Chi Chi Jingzi frowned.

The indescribable creature slowly turned its head and looked over curiously.

Hearing Chi Chi Jingzi's question, it shook its head and answered: "No... I am not 【Evil】... nor 【Calamity】..."

Its "speaking speed" was very slow, as if every syllable needed to be pulled out of the viscous Chaos with difficulty, "I am... the... Fortune... Life... Mysterious... Yellow... Heavenly... Sovereign..."

"Fortune Life Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Sovereign?" The three gods looked at each other, all confused.

This title sounded quite serious.

It even had the sense of "Fortune Life Immeasurable Heavenly Sovereign."

But this image... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word "Fortune"!

At this moment, another sound spread through space-time.

"The Bright God Immeasurable Clear Void Supreme Holy Three Realms Ten Directions Myriad Spirits True Master!"

A twenty-character true name!

Every word seemed to contain infinite Dao rhythm and authority, yet combined into a terrifying will that made one's heart palpitate!

Guangchengzi and others looked, and a divine shadow, vast beyond imagination, was slowly emerging.

Its image was extremely contradictory and terrifying: its figure was blurry, shrouded in a Chaos-colored halo, and its specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but one could feel an extreme "emptiness" and "nothingness."

At the edge of the halo, countless arms like withered tree branches, with pitch-black and sharp fingernails, stretched out.

Each hand held a newborn, pink and cute baby.

Behind it, it seemed to be connected to a boundless "Vacuum Hometown" that was both the end and the beginning. Countless true spirits threw themselves into it like moths to a flame, instantly dissolving and turning into nothingness.

Its aura had both the compassion of nurturing all things and the cold silence of ending everything.

Sacred and evil, creation and destruction, reached a strange unity in it.

Unborn Mother!

When Guangchengzi and others "saw" the other party, a title naturally popped up in their minds.

Besides these two, major tributaries of the space-time river all had Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun-level gods declaring their existence.

And one was stranger than the other, one more twisted than the other.

"Good fellow!" Guangchengzi gasped.

"The tentacle monster counting money just now, and now a hollow mother holding a baby... what kind of monsters and ghosts did we go to the Heaven-Opening Era with?!"

The three of them were secretly shocked.

Little did they know, in the "eyes" of existences like the Fortune Life Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Sovereign and the Unborn Mother, the three Chan Sect immortals—Guangchengzi, Chi Chi Jingzi, and Fu Zhu—were also extremely terrifying and existences that needed to be guarded against.

The reason was none other than that Chan Sect immortals, from the Sect Master to the disciples, all possessed a characteristic—Dao-staining!

They could influence everyone invisibly.

For gods accustomed to polluting other existences, Chan Sect immortals were also highly toxic.

The chaotic laws and pollution domains they painstakingly constructed according to their own logic would dissolve and disintegrate like ice and snow meeting the sun in front of the Chan Sect immortals' "Dao-staining."

They might even be forcibly "straightened out" and incorporated into the Chan Sect's order framework.

Or they might be "bent," influenced by improper laws, and led into the ditch.

For gods accustomed to polluting and twisting other existences, this was simply an unacceptable and fatal threat!

Therefore, when the Unborn Mother's shadow noticed the pure and domineering Jade Pure Immortal Light and Taiwei Yuan Shi Dao rhythm on Guangchengzi and the others.

Her countless arms holding babies paused slightly, and then the entire shadow faded rapidly like ink dropped into water, merged into the background of the space-time river, and disappeared.

And the Fortune Life Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Sovereign's tentacles also stopped counting money, and a flash of vigilance and... disgust seemed to flash in the eyes looking at the three gods?

Subsequently, the tentacles also silently retracted into the void.

A flash of excitement shone in Fu Zhu's eyes.

These strange "Outer Dao Heavenly Sovereigns" looked... quite interesting?

At this moment, from the direction of the source of the space-time river, a terrifying pressure that was peerless, supreme, and seemed to redefine the entire river came!

Hua la la~~

The light of time boiled, the Great Dao roared!

Three figures, as if walking from the source of mythology and the starting point of the myriad Daos, crossed endless space-time in one step.

They were the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Sovereigns who had just returned from the Heaven-Opening Era!

Their figures, seemingly clear, were also blurry, as if existing in the past, present, and future simultaneously, existing in all space-time dimensions.

"Hiss~~, headache, headache!"

Daoist Yuchen rubbed his temples, "I really didn't expect Great God Pangu to launch a sneak attack!"

"Indeed, miscalculated." A hint of helplessness also appeared in the depths of Taishang's eyes.

"Great God Pangu really didn't hold back; with a 'shua,' he chopped us back."

The Three Pure Ones were somewhat depressed.

Who could have thought Great God Pangu could do so many things?

A dignified God of Creation, actually doing such a sneak attack on "himself"!

"But this time we also gained a lot!"

Xuanqing said: "At least, we killed a Pangu!"

Speaking of the Ancestral Witch Pangu, the Three Pure Ones all laughed.

They naturally saw that the Ancestral Witches had received Pangu's gift and were even obtaining the status of Pangu's orthodox lineage.

But they were still chopped down by them!

"Just have to let them recognize clearly who is the boss!"

The Three Pure Ones complained about the true Pangu while savoring the pleasure of beating the Ancestral Witch Pangu, walking back along the space-time river.

Wherever they passed, the Great Dao automatically followed, the light of time submitted, and all kinds of incredible phenomena accompanied them.

Their aura, like an invisible storm, swept through the entire space-time river.

Those "Outer Dao Heavenly Sovereigns" who were about to leave were startled again.

This time, what they felt was no longer the "Dao-staining" of Chan Sect disciples, but the supreme pressure originating from the Great Dao origin!

The Fortune Life Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Sovereign's tentacles retracted deeper, not even caring about counting gold coins.

The Unborn Mother's Vacuum Hometown rippled, as if ready to "return to nothingness" at any time.

Static noise appeared in the ears of a certain Machine God.

These ancient existences who claimed to be ancestors in the myriad heavens and worlds, at this moment in front of the Three Pure Ones, only felt that their own "Dao" was so shallow, twisted, and vulnerable.

As if sensing these prying gazes, the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Sovereigns did not stop their steps, but just swept their indifferent gazes across every corner of the space-time river.

Those Outer Dao Heavenly Sovereigns were swept by this glance, as if being washed head-on by the Great Dao torrent, terrified.

They all retracted to their own timelines at the fastest speed.

"Are these all newly promoted Great Luos?" Daoist Yuchen was curious.

In the Heaven-Opening Era, when they swung their axes, they killed Chaos Demon Gods.

Didn't expect to see so many strange Great Luo Supremes after returning.

It didn't seem like many of them existed in the Primordial Dao Dao Zhen Jing.

"The myriad heavens and worlds have always been colorful."

Xuanqing thought of the days when he traveled through the myriad heavens and worlds; it was still very happy.

The Three Pure Ones flowed downstream and came to Guangchengzi and the others.

"You are all very good." A hint of approval appeared on Xuanqing's face.

The three of Guangchengzi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Seeing the three Heavenly Sovereigns, they realized in an instant.

No wonder! No wonder the Heaven-Opening Era would have the situation of one ancient transforming into three ancients!

It turned out to be the credit of the three Sect Masters!

【This is right, with the three Sect Masters around, it would be strange if the Heaven-Opening Era was normal!】 The three disciples complained inwardly.

They were now incredibly fortunate.

Passing the certification under their own Master was really not a small matter.

At this moment, Fu Zhu, who had always been relatively lively, had excitement shining in his eyes; he gathered his courage, stepped forward, and bowed to Xuanqing to ask:

"Reporting to Master! Disciple has just proven the Dao, feeling that the Dao foundation is still shallow and knowledge is insufficient."

"Just now on the way back, I encountered a few... well, fellow Daoists with quite unique Dao paths, and I felt curious."

"Therefore, I boldly request Master's permission to let me go to the world or space-time where they are to take a look and gain some experience; perhaps... it can also open up some new business for our Chan (Demon) Sect?"

"Oh? You want to go to those worlds?" Xuanqing swept his gaze again toward the direction where the Outer Dao Heavenly Sovereigns left, and a meaningful smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Exactly!" Fu Zhu nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of expectation, looking eager to try.

"Disciple guarantees, just to take a look, absolutely won't cause trouble! Uh... try not to cause big trouble!"

Xuanqing looked at his first outer sect disciple who wanted to go out and work alone just after proving the Dao, and he smiled: "Go, you don't even need to report to me; a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun wants to open up business, can I stop you?"

"Of course, I also have one requirement."

Fu Zhu said: "Master, please speak."

"Remember to take Meng Huai with you."

"Ah?" Fu Zhu was stunned.

Xuanqing asked with a smile: "Why, unwilling?"

"Willing, disciple is willing!" Fu Zhu's expression was mixed with joy and worry,

Thinking of Meng Huai, this disaster, he had a headache.

Guangchengzi and Chi Chi Jingzi listened from the side, their mouths twitching slightly.

They silently lit a candle for those Outer Dao worlds and gods in their hearts.

But thinking about it, these two wouldn't be quiet in the Primordial World either; letting them out to harm others was better than harming their own people.

"Alright, we're going back first, you guys do as you please."

Xuanqing didn't have many restrictions on his disciples.

After giving a few words to the disciples, the Three Pure Ones returned to the Primordial World.

Hua hua hua~~~

In a certain tributary of the space-time river, thirteen figures stood side by side, silently watching the Three Pure Ones leave.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Luo, didn't you say you wanted to hit them with a sap? Why did you give up just now?" Zhurong looked at Wu Luo in confusion.

Wu Luo glared at Zhurong: "Didn't you say that as soon as you saw the Three Pure Ones, you couldn't wait to rush up and kill them? Why didn't you go?"

Zhurong smiled awkwardly and turned to scold Gonggong.

"Gonggong, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you wanted to control the water of time and give the Three Pure Ones some color to see?"

Gonggong kicked Zhu Jiuyin: "Speak."

Zhu Jiuyin was speechless and said the truth directly: "What's there to say? If you can't beat them, what's there to say."

The Ancestral Witches present were all silent.

They were killed by the Three Pure Ones first, so they came back first.

After coming back, they were really angry and intended to find the Three Pure Ones to reason with them again.

For this, they didn't even publicize their existence in the space-time river.

As a result, when the Three Pure Ones really came back, the Ancestral Witches all hesitated.

"We are all Pangu's orthodox lineage; fighting among ourselves is really not a good thing; let's let them go this time!"

In the end, the Ancestral Witches were magnanimous and chose to forgive the Three Pure Ones.

"They actually held back."

The Three Pure Ones looked back simultaneously, their expressions somewhat regretful.

It just so happened that they were sneak-attacked by Pangu, and they were also holding a breath in their hearts, just waiting for the Ancestral Witches to come up and reason.

It's a pity the Ancestral Witches didn't fall for it.

"Looks like this breath has to be vented on Hongjun!"

Jade Capital Mountain.

Hongjun touched his neck: "Why is it a bit chilly?"

He took out the Creation Jade Plate, calculated for a moment, and threw himself back into the great cause of perfecting the Corpse-Slashing Method.
