Chapter 139 Tongtian

Huantian's body had never cultivated this technique before. What Wei Yuan had told him earlier was only a mere outline of the Lingbao Zhenjing of the Shangqing Sect. As for the detailed cultivation methods, he didn't know them at all. Wei Yuan hadn't had time to teach him. Daoist cultivation is unlike ordinary practices. Without specialized instruction and guidance, even if one obtains the scriptures, there's no way to begin, let alone with just a general outline.

But at this moment, that bit of spiritual energy seemed to possess its own sentience.

Or rather, it was in harmony with nature.

And so, it frantically flowed through Huantian's body.

The *Shangqing Lingbao Dadong Zhenjing*, the most profound method of the Shangqing Sect of Daoism, regarded as the first of the Three Wonders of Daoism, consists of thirty-nine volumes, named after the Three Pure Realms of Daoism, each with twelve realms. The remaining three volumes directly point to the legendary Daluo Heaven realm of Daoism, infinitely profound. It's said that reciting it ten thousand times, even without understanding the Golden Elixir Dao, one can enter the gate of immortality.

Since it is the gate to the high and distant, naturally entering is not difficult, displaying the compassion of Daoism to save all living beings.

However, the road to immortality is a heaven in every step, each realm harder to pass than the last.

Wei Yuan was about to act, his hand already raised, but he sensed something was amiss. He saw that what should have been a weapon, or rather, with the previous state of Huantian's body, trapped in his own inner demons, should have been expressionless, allowing the enemy to absorb his foundation essence. But now, his sleeves suddenly billowed slightly.

The profound gate of Daoism, profound beyond profound!

*Boom!*

A stream of pure energy broke through the dantian and then swirled and howled.

In the turbid world, pure energy was born from this.

Wei Yuan's eyes widened, and then a smile appeared on his lips. With his Daoist cultivation, he could see that this was clearly of the Shangqing Sect lineage, and in an instant, it had already passed the first hurdle that ordinary Daoist disciples would need five years to overcome. Almost immediately, the first heaven was broken through.

Then the second!

The third!

The fourth!

It wasn't until the thirty-third that the progress slowed down.

A terrifying speed, an indescribable progress.

Barriers were broken through layer by layer, almost ascending on the spot, the return of the Celestial Venerable!

And because it was Daoist pure energy, an extremely pure Daoist foundation was built in the blink of an eye, repelling the turbid world's aura outwards. This led the turbid world's gods and demons to subconsciously think it was the effect of a magical treasure, fighting over these turbid world auras, and not noticing the earth-shattering changes happening within Huantian's body next to them!

"Absorb more. If it weren't for detecting an invasion of external enemies this time, we wouldn't have the qualification or opportunity to come here, nor the opportunity to draw such pure true essence!"

"This is fate, a great opportunity!"

One of the turbid world gods and demons tried his best to devour and absorb the power from Huantian's body.

While trying to awaken the remaining gods and demons with a consoling intention.

One of the gods and demons nodded in agreement, while also swallowing turbid energy with extremely high efficiency, causing the turbid energy to turn into layers of clouds around him. The clouds surrounded him and then collapsed, like the hardest armor in the world, enough to resist ordinary magic weapons. Even divine weapons would not easily break through such a turbid energy defense layer. He said:

"But the previous ripple was clearly from a pure world powerhouse entering the turbid world."

"Are we not going to take care of it?"

The leading god and demon sneered, "No need to bother."

"Not to mention that the aura ripple was extremely weak, most likely just a so-called Guixu Walker from the Ruins, who accidentally fell down while crossing worlds on a mission. Most of those Guixu Walkers are extremely weak. Although they have some tricks and schemes, no matter how small their thoughts are, they are not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength."

"Such a weak ripple, not to mention me."

"Even the two of you could cut off his head with one strike!"

"And then, with another strike, we'll disembowel him, killing him so thoroughly that he can't die again!"

"Moreover, this place is extremely close to the area where the [Heavenly Demon] clan is located."

"The Heavenly Demon Clan!"

When the leader of the turbid world gods and demons mentioned this term, the faces of the other two gods and demons changed.

They were a lineage like the Golden Mother Yuanjun, who, although in the turbid world, did not listen to the orders and commands of the Turbid World Great Lord. Although it was said to be a lineage, its members were extremely rare, as if they only called themselves Heavenly Demons.

All members waited in one place, and according to various legends circulating in the turbid world, they were said to be following the orders of a certain powerhouse, guarding a certain position for a long time, not knowing what kind of treasure they were guarding.

According to legend, the peerless powerhouse who ordered them to stay there was the [Heavenly Demon].

However, there was no such peerless powerhouse named [Heavenly Demon] in the past history of the turbid world.

However, although the Heavenly Demon lineage did not obey the dispatch of the turbid world, they never left the place they were guarding. Their strength was extremely powerful and strange. Whether it was a creature of pure energy or a demon of the turbid world, anyone who dared to step into the territory they revered and guarded would be killed, and even their true spirits and souls would be crushed and annihilated, leaving nothing behind.

The ripple appeared here.

They chased all the way, but couldn't find any trace of it.

Then, it was likely that they were panicking and went in another direction, which was the location of the Heavenly Demon.

All the existences who went there would be killed by the Heavenly Demons.

Therefore, they, the gods and demons patrolling the turbid world, did not need to care about the stowaway.

"He's just a weakling from the pure world!"

"An ant that can be suppressed for eternity with a wave of the hand!"

"Gentlemen, why bother?"

He absorbed pure turbid energy while whispering to the other two gods and demons. At this moment, they suddenly sensed something was wrong. The turbid world aura that was so mellow and sweet to them suddenly stopped and disappeared!

Replaced by an extremely strong pure energy!

Shangqing Lingbao, the head of the Three Wonders of Daoism.

For the turbid world gods and demons to come into contact with the pure energy cultivated by Daoism was no different from ordinary people using their hands to touch thunder and fire, or drinking sulfuric acid. It was only because their cultivation was not weak that they didn't scream on the spot, but it still caused the turbid world aura around them to shake violently, almost unable to maintain the previous state of condensation like armor.

Then they subconsciously looked up.

They saw a pair of clear, cold eyes, indifferent and detached, which were definitely not the eyes a weapon or puppet should have.

The leading god and demon instantly retreated.

Exposing the two turbid world gods and demons who had just shown a hint of intention to win them over.

One of them held a magic weapon aimed at Huantian's body, and the other held a very heavy magic weapon spear covered with dense patterns. Then they all attacked the Huantian's body in front of them, without hesitation, without any doubt about whether they had misjudged the situation.

The style of the turbid world!

Rather kill the wrong person than let one go!

Never allow the existence of anything that could threaten them!

Two gods and demons, one holding a restriction treasure, and the other attacking with extremely ruthless life-risking tactics.

But the next moment, Huantian's body had already reacted with his instinctive combat experience.

The magic weapon in the god and demon's hand released a great light.

Huantian's body's cultivation was instantly locked, and he could no longer use it. But at that moment, the other god and demon's attack had already arrived. But Huantian's body had already reached out and directly grabbed the magic weapon spear with its powerful momentum. The palm was white and slender, but it seemed to have infinite power, and then he exerted force.

The entire turbid world war spear was actually bent into a shocking arc by the incomparably majestic force!

The next moment, the entire spear was directly broken!

Huantian's body held the half of the spear where the spearhead was in his right hand. His arm shook, and this half of the spear immediately flew out, wrapped in majestic pure energy. The momentum was extremely fierce. The strength of Huantian's body, coupled with the unprecedented and unparalleled Shangqing Sect's Dadong Zhenjing that had truly been completed, made this attack even more domineering than the previous god and demon's attack!

*Boom!*

The thrown spearhead directly pierced through the god and demon who had previously held the magic weapon.

Then it tore through the magic weapon.

Then it broke through the heart of the god and demon behind him.

Directly exploding two bursts of hot blood in the hearts of the two gods and demons.

The energy flowed, and the pure energy was stored in the body's orifices, not revealing any aura. The leading turbid world god and demon seemed to be directly frightened by this scene. But seemingly stupid, his movements were unprecedentedly agile and sharp. He instantly soared into the air, his whole body burst into flames. Taking advantage of the fact that Huantian's body was still at the stage of having just completed the Zhenjing, and had not reacted to the mystery of the energy changes, he instantly went away.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his back.

His mind went cold, and then he only saw a white stream of energy fly out from in front of him.

Sharp and fierce, invincible.

"This is... sword energy?"

That was the last thought left in his mind, and then he knew nothing more. His soul dissipated and he fell directly to the ground.

He died so thoroughly that he couldn't die again.

Huantian's body was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at the dead god and demon, retracted his gaze. The pure white sword energy flowed and changed, and in the end, it did not dissipate. Instead, it returned to the Daoist's hand, without a drop of blood, turning into pure energy and entering through the orifices. Huantian's body looked at the Daoist in the green shirt and white hair, and was silent for a long time. "You foresaw this, so you came?"

Wei Yuan smiled silently.

He knew that the other party had misunderstood that everything was in his control because he had come out too coincidentally.

He had miscalculated and overestimated his strength.

He originally wanted to shake his head to indicate that he had only happened to be there. But then he thought that if he hadn't come and leaked a trace of ripples, attracting these gods and demons, these gods and demons would not have been tempted to devour and absorb the turbid world aura on Huantian's body. If they hadn't absorbed his foundation, they wouldn't have stimulated Huantian's memory, causing him to feel anger, an emotion that Huantian himself didn't have. This further stimulated his own true spirit and the changes in the Dadong Zhenjing's energy.

Naturally, there wouldn't be the creation that was happening now.

Although all this was not his intention, all the developments changed with his actions.

Seeing that Wei Yuan did not refute, Huantian's body fell into silence.

Then, this powerhouse who had been silent for a long time spoke, and asked slowly, "Then, what is the Dao?"

Wei Yuan was surprised, thought about it, raised his right hand, held it up with his palm facing up, and smiled, "This is the Dao."

He turned his palm over and pressed down, "This is also the Dao."

Then he said again, "You and I, all living beings, are all the Dao."

Huantian's body was silent for a long time, "Where is the Dao?"

The white-haired Daoist in front of him smiled and stretched out his hand, pointed to the heart of Huantian's body, "Here."

The Dao is in the heart.

Huantian's body vaguely understood, but it was still like climbing a mountain, raising his head but seeing that there were still higher peaks, still foggy and hazy, and could not see clearly. At this time, the white-haired Daoist slightly cupped his hands and asked with a smile, "I still don't know what to call you, Dao friend?"

Huantian's body subconsciously wanted to answer.

He wanted to answer Huantian.

But he knew very well that he was not Him.

He didn't have His experience, didn't have His power, and had previously experienced emotions that Huantian had never experienced, anger.

He was not him, so naturally he couldn't say that he was Huantian.

Then he remembered those names that his friend, Lu Fengxian, who he didn't know whether he counted as a friend, had given him. Originally, he chose Cangtian, but now that he had cultivated the Daoist true art and got rid of the predicament because of the Daoist true art, seeing himself clearly, he naturally preferred to choose a Daoist name.

So he was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and saluted, and answered like this:

"This poor Daoist is Tongtian."

Daoist Tongtian.

Wei Yuan laughed loudly and was about to take the person in front of him away from this place. At this moment, he felt a majestic cause and effect and feedback, which appeared when the Huantian's body called himself Daoist Tongtian. Then, with an extremely rapid and extremely majestic momentum, it fed back. Wei Yuan only felt that in an instant, the Kunlun Mirror on his waist suddenly roared, and layers of flowing light lit up.

One side of the mirror was ancient and simple bronze, and the other side showed layers of water waves, in which the houses, roads, and objects all had ancient charm and meaning. It was actually the scene of the Great Song Dynasty in China.

This is the opportunity in that period of time that the Kunlun Mirror is linked to?

This time, it was actually fed back to the Kunlun Mirror?

Wei Yuan didn't have time to look.

The next moment, the Kunlun Mirror chirped, and a stream of pure energy transformed into a dragon, and in this turbid world, it rose into the sky with boundless and majestic posture.

Not to mention the collision sound caused by the drastic conflict between pure energy and turbid world energy, just this momentum alone, the powerhouses of the turbid world, as long as they were not blind or deaf, would know that something big had happened here, and then rushed towards this place. Wei Yuan saw Huantian's body, no, Daoist Tongtian's expression was slightly serious, and he smiled freely:

"Don't worry."

The Qingping Sword appeared in the palm of the white-haired Daoist's right hand, and his tone was calm: "Even if the Turbid World Great Lord comes in person."

"I can take you away from this place."

But just as this bold statement with a bit of certainty was spoken, Wei Yuan felt a majestic cause and effect suddenly fall on him. He looked at the Kunlun Mirror and Daoist Tongtian in front of him in astonishment, and finally understood that he had previously allowed Huantian's body to truly find himself, and the cause and effect were not small. It was not that there was no feedback, and it was not only fed back to the Kunlun Mirror.

If the Daoist Tongtian and the Lingbao Heavenly Lord in the common people's cognition are merged.

Then I am the Yu Xu Yuanshi.

Wei Yuan suddenly understood something, and his eyes were dazed. The turbid world gods and demons in front of him had already flocked over, all with killing intent.

Wei Yuan was unable to act for a while because of this huge cause and effect feedback.

In the depths of his brow and mind, was originally his own appearance.

At this moment, next to the position of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, the cause and effect feedback from the Daoist Tongtian next to him turned into misty clouds, and then gathered. Wei Yuan felt that his body was becoming more and more stiff, and his mind was becoming more and more light. The cause and effect were too heavy. At this moment, on the spirit platform, the self was Yuanshi, and one side was faintly about to transform into a young Daoist in a green shirt with a sword.

Sharp and fierce, Wei Yuan understood the identity of the Daoist emerging on the spirit platform for no reason.

It was the Lingbao Heavenly Lord.

And his face was exactly the same as Wei Yuan's.

The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's position was in the center, and the Lingbao Heavenly Lord stood on one side. Compared to the spirit platform, there was still one missing.

Empty and desolate.

But even so, there was already a vague sense of mystery, born between these two 'selves'.

And with a激荡盘旋 momentum, it spread outwards.
