Chapter 690 Overbearing Power

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In front of the Purple Cloud Palace, Di Jue and Shi Yan stood in front of the gate and waited. The two of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.

After the calamity ended, the negative emotions of all beings decreased, but the blood feud between the Immortal Imperial Race and the Yan Race was still there. Even though the two Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortals did not fight again, it was impossible for them to welcome each other with a smile.

At that moment, they felt uneasy and did not know why the Dao Ancestor was looking for them.

If it were a one-on-one meeting, they could let their imagination run wild. However, their sworn enemy was still here, which made them feel complicated.

Would the Dao Ancestor question them or persuade them to reconcile?

Shi Yan came from the Yan Race. He had awakened the memories of his previous life. Naturally, Dao Yan cultivators were extremely terrified of the Dao Ancestor. After all, Dao Yan was disbanded because of the Dao Ancestor.

Di Jue was from the Immortal Imperial Race. The Dao Ancestor had raised Tai Wa, who had created them, so the entire Immortal Imperial Race took the Dao Ancestor as their ancestor. He was more nervous about meeting his ancestor.

After waiting for a long time, the gate still did not open. Both of them thought that the Dao Ancestor was trying to intimidate them, so they could only endure it.

Until the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao arrived.

“I didn’t expect the two of you to be here,” Divine Lord Aurora said with a teasing tone.

Di Jue and Shi Yan turned around and hurriedly bowed to the Three Saints.

Even though the Three Saints were also suppressed by Jiang Yi, the strength they displayed in the calamity was indeed stronger than theirs. They still admired the Three Saints.

If the Three Saints did not take action, they would probably all die in Jiang Yi’s hands.

Kunlun Dao walked to Di Jue’s side and bowed respectfully to the gate. The Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor and Divine Lord Aurora did the same.

Rumble—

The gate of the Purple Cloud Palace slowly opened with a dull sound.

What entered their line of sight was Bai Qi’s graceful figure. She stood in the darkness and smiled. “Everyone, follow me in.”

It was not the first time that the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao had come, so they were not nervous. However, Di Jue and Shi Yan were exceptionally nervous and did not dare to speak.

In the calamity, they, who wreaked havoc in the world, were about to meet the Dao Ancestor. The clouds of the past surfaced in their eyes. They felt remorseful and felt that they had done many things wrong. They should not have done those atrocious things.

In fact, they had such thoughts because of the formations in the Purple Cloud Palace. However, they did not dare to use their spiritual will to investigate in front of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Led by Bai Qi, they entered the Purple Cloud Palace.

Due to Jiang Changsheng’s manipulations, the interior space became extremely long. After passing through a long passage, they arrived at an empty hall. Above them was a resplendent starry sky with a purple star that was abnormally bright.

When Di Jue and Shi Yan saw the Dao Ancestor, they lowered their eyes one after another, not daring to look straight at him.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Dao Ancestor and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Changsheng waved his sleeve and took out five prayer mats for them to sit down.

Seeing this, Di Jue and Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to sit down proved that the Dao Ancestor was not going to blame them. At most, he would give them a beating.

“The calamity has ended. Do you have any ideas for the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm?”

Jiang Changsheng said. Bai Qi sat down at the side with a low posture.

Di Jue and Shi Yan were stunned. They did not expect the first thing the Dao Ancestor said was to ask about their cultivation. They were immediately overjoyed. This meant that the Dao Ancestor intended to promote them.

Kunlun Dao was the first to talk about his understanding. The other four listened attentively and felt that this was also a kind of discussion.

After he finished speaking, it was the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor and Divine Lord Aurora. Di Jue and Shi Yan did not rush to speak. When Divine Lord Aurora finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other.

This was the first time they looked at each other since they came to the 33rd Heaven.

“Di Jue, tell me first. There’s no need to think too much about it.”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They knew each other’s temper too well. They were afraid that the other party would embarrass the other side in front of the Dao Ancestor.

Di Jue looked up and began to talk about his comprehension over the years.

As he narrated, the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao could not help but nod. Other than his talent in battle, his comprehension was indeed high.

This was the first time Shi Yan had listened to his ideas about the Dao. He had to admit that this old opponent of his was indeed stunning in terms of comprehension and did not rely solely on the talent of the Immortal Imperial Race.

After Di Jue finished speaking, Shi Yan continued.

After this session, Di Jue and Shi Yan’s view of each other slightly changed.

“The calamity has passed. Let’s not talk about the past. Di Jue, Shi Yan, are you willing to join my sect? There is a rule under my sect that we must not harm each other. You can seriously consider whether you are willing to accept it or not. Even if you refuse, I will not vent my anger on you. After all, Daoism emphasizes luck, not force.”

Jiang Changsheng said. His words made Di Jue and Shi Yan’s hearts beat wildly.

Become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor!

This was equivalent to standing above all beings!

However, looking at their strength, in terms of status and appeal, they were absolutely inferior to the Three Saints of the Immortal Dao.

After becoming the disciple of the Dao Ancestor, other Zenith Heaven Immortals would have to be respectful to them, and even their race’s status would rise.

However, to let go of their hatred…

The two of them could not help but look at each other. They found that the hatred in each other’s eyes was not as strong as during the calamity, which made them feel dazed.

“Karma is inevitable for living beings. If cultivators cannot let go of the past, when can they truly attain the Dao?” Kunlun Dao asked.

He was qualified to say that. His sect had long perished, but he did not seek revenge. Instead, he focused on seeking the Dao.

Di Jue took a deep breath and snorted. “Compared to the Great Dao, hatred is nothing. I am willing to become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor!”

Shi Yan said in disdain, “The Yan Race is the reincarnation of Dao Yan, and although they have a lot of hatred, I will not be affected by hatred. I am also willing to become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.”

Divine Lord Aurora sighed internally. His teacher’s reputation was really great. The hatred between the two of them for millions of years had been put aside just like that.

However, that was true. If it were him, he would not be able to reject this opportunity.

Jiang Changsheng said, “From now on, you will be my in-name disciples and call me Teacher. When you become Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, you will become my personal disciples.”

In-name disciple?

Di Jue and Shi Yan were somewhat disappointed, but as soon as they heard the words ‘Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal’, their blood boiled.

After so many years, they could not find the direction to reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm no matter what. Now that they had the Dao Ancestor as their teacher, they must have a direction. They were confident in their talents.

Jiang Changsheng took out magical treasures and gave them to the five of them. At the same time, he took out five purple jade slips and said, “This is the Great Dao Record I created. It contains my understanding of various Great Dao. At the same time, there are also many Divine Powers, Pill Dao, and Formations.”

Hearing this, the five of them were overjoyed and thanked their teacher in unison.

Jiang Changsheng told them some more things about the power of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and the five of them yearned for it.

When they left the Purple Cloud Palace, Kunlun Dao invited them as guests for a discussion. None of them refused. After all, they were from the same sect.

In the Purple Cloud Palace.

“Master, can you give me a copy of the Great Dao Record?” Bai Qi carefully asked. The Great Dao Record sounded very powerful.

Jiang Changsheng immediately took out a piece of jade and threw it to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi grabbed the Great Dao Record and asked with a brilliant smile, “Master, if this Great Dao Record were to spread, would something happen?”

Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

From his point of view, he was not afraid of the spread of profound techniques. The stronger the immortal cultivators were, the more he would benefit. Besides, it was impossible for them to surpass him if they were to walk his path.

When Bai Qi heard that, she began to speculate the meaning of those three words.

Perhaps she had been in the calamity for too long, causing her to be unable to understand her master’s thoughts.

The news that Di Jue and Shi Yan had been accepted as in-name disciples by the Dao Ancestor quickly spread throughout the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. The Immortal Imperial Race and the Yan Race had also started trading with each other. It was said that the two races had been strictly ordered not to become enemies with each other.

After this matter spread, everyone was envious of Di Jue and Shi Yan. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief. The Yan Race and the Immortal Imperial Race were too powerful. If the conflict continued, it would inevitably trigger a calamity that would affect them.

When Zenith Heaven cultivators fought, mortals suffered!

This matter made the Demon Race extremely depressed.

In the end, the Demon Race did not win or lose when they competed against the Human Race. However, their limelight was stolen, causing the Demon Race to split into powerful clans. The current force of the Demon Race was far less than one-tenth of their peak strength. As Di Jue and Shi Yan were accepted as disciples by the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Sovereign was not selected, the prestige of the Demon Sovereign decreased very quickly.

Many demons were dissatisfied with the Demon Sovereign and felt that he had let down their expectations. Before the calamity, he had an arrogant aura, but in the end, he could not win against others.

The Demon Sovereign had been in seclusion and did not appear in public. It was evident that he had been stimulated.

The human side was still fine. They were the defending side and were still in the position as the protagonist of the Heavenly Dao.

Surging dark clouds covered the sky, and stars could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the clouds. The ground below was filled with thick smoke, and the surface was covered with magma. It was a ghastly sight.

In a corner of the earth, a white-haired man sat cross-legged in the air. A bone floated between his palms. It was Jiang Changsheng’s Dao bone.

The white-haired man was emaciated, and his shabby gray robe seemed wide. His face was weathered, and his eyelids were sunken. It was obvious that he did not have eyes.

Boom!

The Dao bone burst out with a powerful force and shook off his hands. Even the dark clouds in the sky were dispelled, but it soon covered the starry sky.

“What domineering power. As expected of the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao…”

The white-haired man muttered to himself as green blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

He did not give up and continued to fuse with the Dao bone.

At that moment, the dark clouds parted and a bone dragon descended from the sky, revealing only half of its body. It was connected to the sky and earth. In front of it, the white-haired man was as insignificant as dust.

“You haven’t succeeded yet? You don’t have much time left.”

A hoarse yet powerful voice sounded, similar to rolling thunder that echoed endlessly.

The white-haired man did not look up and calmly said, “There are still 100,000 years, enough for me to succeed.”

The bone dragon looked down at him and said, “You should know how miserable your ending will be if you fail.”

The white-haired man snorted and said, “Among those who are at their wit’s end, if I can’t succeed, no one else can. The Dao Ancestor also studies the Karma Dao. I can sense that his attainment in the Karma Dao is related to the Divine Tablet. You better hope that I can succeed. If it were someone else, they might very possibly disturb the Dao Ancestor. You don’t want Greed to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Gua, right?”
