Chapter 463: A Thousand Years, Jingtian
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Myriad Dao Convention reopened in the six independent worlds, and there were no more accidents. After the impact of the Great Evil Calamities, the
Myriad Dao Convention became more harmonious. The Martial Dao and other Great Dao systems now had a common enemy, and their hatred for each other had been greatly reduced.
The Great Evil Calamity was only the prelude to the Martial Dao calamity. The Martial Ancestor had already given the order to inform them of the existence of the Yin Yang God in the Divine Martial Realm, causing the Myriad Dao Convention to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.
After nearly ten years, the Myriad Dao Convention ended. The Great Dao cultivators returned the way they came, and the Heavenly Court returned under the lead of Jiang Changsheng’s clone.
The journey was without mishap.
The Myriad Dao Convention had benefited the Heavenly Court. The group consisted of many talented and powerful immortals. During the convention, they had collected many cultivation methods and had benefited greatly. They were prepared to integrate them and create their own Dao techniques.
The Heavenly Court became lively, and such excitement spread to the Mental Wander Realm and then to the Kunlun Field.
The 33 Layered Heavens were quiet. Jiang Changsheng was still immersed in refining a Pangu clone.
The calamity of the Myriad Dao Convention quickly spread, and the believers were excited. With the Dao Ancestor turning the tide of the situation, the Immortal Dao naturally benefited.
The name of the Three Pure Sacred Bell and the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger had also quickly spread throughout the cultivation world. They had become the standard of supreme treasures that countless refiners dreamed of forging.
As the Immortal Dao became more and more prosperous, there were as many blacksmiths as fish in the sea. Almost every immortal cultivator would attempt to refine weapons. That was the most special aspect of the Immortal Dao. To cultivate, one had to know everything. Even if they could not know everything, they had to know something about other aspects.
Time flew by.
After fifteen years, Jiang Changsheng finally refined the Pangu Fruit into a Pangu clone. This clone was identical to him. Just by looking at his physique, he could not sense any power.
“He already has such a physique when he was just born. If he continues to train, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future.”
Jiang Changsheng thought as he circulated his energy.
The Twelve Divine Killing Formation required at least twelve people to form the formation. In other words, he would have to wait another 110,000 years before his Pangu clone could play its true role.
Only 110,000 years…
Tsk tsk, it was a long time.
Jiang Changsheng had only lived for more than two thousand years. Even for him, 110,000 years was a long time.
Of course, perhaps when everything was settled, he would close his eyes for 10,000 years or even longer.
If he could cultivate in seclusion like that, it meant that the Immortal Dao had entered a stable stage of development and that he did not have to keep an eye on it from time to time.
After 110,000 years, how powerful would the first Pangu clone be?
When Jiang Changsheng thought of this, his heart was filled with anticipation.
The years of cultivation were boring. He had to set up expectations for himself. When he secretly finished cultivating the Twelve Divine Killing Formation, he would definitely stun the Kunlun Field once he faced an unprecedented powerful enemy.
Jiang Changsheng could be considered an expert, but there was still a trace of vanity hidden in his heart. He did not reject it. He did not want to become a person without desires. He knew himself best. His desires were not small, but it was not to the extent that it would take over him.
After he placed the Pangu clone into the Dao World and left a trace of his will in it to cultivate, he called Mu Lingluo and Bai Qi back.
Over the years, the two women toured the human world together and accepted another batch of fairies. Mu Lingluo accepted human women who were chivalrous and courageous, while Bai Qi accepted demonesses. The ones she chose were all demonesses who had suffered hardships but continued to strengthen themselves.
If that was the case for them, then what about the Heavenly Court? Every legitimate god had different criteria for choosing a god. As a result, there were more and more factions in the Heavenly Court, and the relationships within the Heavenly Court were also complicated. Thus, the power of the Celestial Emperor was no longer as absolute.
Another ten years passed.
It was now the 522nd year of the Preach Era. North of the Kunlun Field.
Boom!
The earth shook violently, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged.
The Immortal Gods in the sky were also alarmed. As the Heavenly Court’s control over the luck of the Kunlun Field increased, if there were any changes in the human world, it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Court.
North-Heaven Gate.
A Heavenly General pressed his hands on his forehead and a golden eye condensed on his forehead. This was his divine power. He was using his clairvoyance to pry into the human world and search for the location of the accident.
The surrounding Heavenly Soldiers became nervous. This was the first time they had encountered such a change in luck.
More and more legitimate gods walked out of their palaces to observe the changes in the human world. Even Bai Qi, who was in the Purple Cloud Palace, sensed it and immediately rushed out to watch the commotion.
Even though Jiang Changsheng was cultivating, he did not enter a state of self-absorption. His previous encounter with the Great Evil Calamities had allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the Karma Dao.
He also noticed the abnormality in the human world. After he calculated it with his fingers, he revealed a strange expression.
The cause of this abnormality was a newborn creature. It was not a human, but a demon. There was a little demon in the wild mountains that could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth the moment it was born, triggering the abnormality between heaven and earth.
This was the first time such a thing had happened. Jiang Changsheng pinched his fingers to deduce its karma and revealed a surprised expression.
“It seems like the Kunlun Field has been completely stabilized. A person with great luck has been born, and he is not a reincarnation. Interesting.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. He closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
He had already calculated that the demons would turn the world upside down in the future, but the ending was good. Naturally, he was too lazy to interfere. Plus, it was good to give the Heavenly Court some stimulation. For an existence like the Heavenly Court that rule over the order in heaven and earth, it was not a good thing to be too comfortable.
The abnormal changes in the human world continued for several days. Other than the initial earthquake, there was only the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth and it did not cause any harm to the human world.
In the following days, the human world fell into turmoil. Immortal Gods descended to the mortal world from the Heavenly Court. When the demons and humans heard the news, they were all searching for the new demon that caused the change in the world.
Eighty years later, the current Emperor of Heavenly Jing had been in power for more than 600 years.
The thousand-year period for the selection of the leader of the Earth Immortals was finally approaching. The cultivation world was in turmoil. More and more great cultivators came out of seclusion to do good deeds and accumulate merit everywhere in the human world, or they preached about the Dao everywhere to accumulate reputation.
No one knew how the Dao Ancestor would select the leader of the Earth Immortals. The standard of great merit could not be defined.
Even though the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court could not compete for the position of the leader of the Earth Immortals, they were also concerned about this matter. The various giants were secretly supporting the almighty cultivators in the human world. On the surface, the most important thing for the Heavenly Court was the Immortal Peach Convention, but the convention would only be held after the leader of the Earth Immortality was selected. At that time, the Celestial Emperor and the Queen Mother would invite the leader of the Earth Immortals to a banquet, which could be considered as strengthening the connection between the Heavenly Court and the cultivation world.
Under the blue sky, mountains were continuous and the peaks were as if they had gathered together.
Hu Yuan sat on a cliff halfway up a mountain. His cyan Daoist robe fluttered, and the refreshing summer wind blew his hair.
A figure leaped from the cliff and landed beside Hu Yuan. It was a young man with long dense hair and a pair of horns. He had a strong physique.
“Master, I have learned the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Field. Do you have any other skills?”
The horned young man asked excitedly, his eyes full of confidence.
Hu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, “You have learned the Golden Core Great Dao and the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Fiend. They are enough for you to roam the world. It is time for me to leave.”
“Leave? Where are we going?”
The horned young man asked in surprise. He did not understand the meaning behind his words.
Hu Yuan stood up and said, “Back then, my master was the same as me. When I mastered the Golden Core Great Dao and the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Fiend, he left. Now, you should survive alone.”
When the horned young man heard that, his expression changed drastically. He knelt down in fear and asked in a trembling voice, “Master, did I do something wrong?”
Hu Yuan stared at the horizon and said, “You did nothing wrong, but you should be independent. Don’t mention my existence in the future.”
When he said that, Hu Yuan thought of his master who had warned him the same thing before he left.
In the past, he did not understand, but now he did.
People had to rely on themselves.
“Disciple, you were born to be different. You are destined to not be ordinary in your life. Times of suffering will come one after another. I hope that other than becoming stronger, you will not forget my instructions to you. Even though you were born with no parents, you can treat heaven and earth as your parents.
When you are more capable, you can achieve some merit for heaven and earth. That will be repaying your parents.”
Hu Yuan turned to look at the horned young man, and his expression softened.
How could they not have feelings for each other after eighty years?
Speaking of their encounter, Hu Yuan could not help but think of that mysterious white-robed woman. It was that woman who handed over this little demon to him.
To be able to snatch this demon from the hands of the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court, that woman’s identity must not be simple.
Hu Yuan suspected that the woman knew his master, but she refused to say anything. She did not even give him her name.
“Master, I understand!”
The horned young man looked up. Even though his eyes were red, his eyes were firm.
He was not born with a weak personality. He sensed his master’s determination and naturally, he would not be stubborn.
He had always been obedient to his master. In his heart, his master was his only family in the world.
“In the future, you will have no one to rely on. You need to experience the world on your own and build your own life. Sooner or later, there will be more and more figures by your side. However, if there are more voices by your side, you will also be confused. When you are confused, think about what I have entrusted you with.”
After Hu Yuan said that, he leaped up and left on a cloud.
The horned young man stared blankly at his master as he left. All of a sudden, he came back to his senses.
“Master, what’s your name? Also, you forgot to give me a name!”
The horned young man cried out in alarm, but unfortunately, he did not get a response from Hu Yuan.
At that moment, a wooden card fell from the sky and hit his head. He looked up in shock, but he did not see anyone.
He lowered his head and picked up the wooden card. He realized that there were two words engraved on it.
Jingtian!
“Jingtian… That’s a good name… Did master throw it to me?”
The horned young man muttered to himself. He held the wooden card tightly and observed it carefully.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
When Mu Lingluo heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and saw Bai Qi entering the palace with a smug smile on her face.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so happy?” Mu Lingluo asked curiously.
Bai Qi smiled mysteriously and said, “Nothing much. It’s just that a good seedling is about to grow up.”
Mu Lingluo lamented, “You really like to cause trouble. You’re more diligent in nurturing others than you are in nurturing yourself. However, you have to be careful. It won’t be easy to control if you nurture too many subordinates.”
Bai Qi smiled and said, “Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. Whoever dares to mess around and take the wrong path, I will never be soft-hearted and will definitely follow the heavenly rules. I was the one who trained the Demon King that Ji Wujun punished before, and I was the one who provided the clues to help Ji Wujun successfully capture it..”
