Chapter 468

Hearing that, Zhu Hongtu did not think that Shi Xuan was being modest. Instead, he thought that it was only natural. "Sigh, if the Heretic Dao Development could be so easily seen, I wouldn't have to take the Grand Wish Path. However, Daoist Shi, your experiences have far surpassed most half-step Golden Immortals. I believe that with one or two more such opportunities, you'll have a chance of seeing the Heretic Dao Development."

"Then I'll thank you for your auspicious words, Daoist Zhu." Shi Xuan smiled and cupped his hands.

This time, he had met Dao Lord Daokong because he was afraid that if he went too far, it would cause Life and Death Daozu to interfere. Therefore, he had a sense of propriety and did not put too much pressure on Shi Xuan. After all, if the Grand Wish failed, it would not be Shi Xuan who suffered losses. It was only when he used the Wondrous Bodhi Tree to brush away Shi Xuan's Nine Underworlds Doumu Cloud of Nothingness that Shi Xuan truly experienced the feeling of facing the Great Dao of Terminus, as well as the power of the Daoist Lord of the Dharma Development Realm and the terror of the Wondrous Bodhi Tree.

In fact, from Dao Lord Daokong's point of view, even when he had brushed away Shi Xuan's Dao Fruit Cloud, he had been prepared to hold back at any time to avoid seriously injuring Shi Xuan and causing Life and Death Daozu to take action. His original goal was to make Shi Xuan block it with the Taiji diagram. If he did not use it, he would faint.

Therefore, when the aura of the Great Dao of Life and Death erupted, Dao Lord Daokong was extremely shocked. He could not understand why Life and Death Daozu would take action. However, in the face of a Connate Golden Immortal, he did not have the leisure to distinguish the real from the fake. He had to save his life first!

However, the experience of fighting against a half-step Golden Immortal of the Dharma Development Realm and winning in the end had benefited Shi Xuan greatly.

After the few Dao Lords exchanged some pleasantries, Wang Dalu was the first to bid farewell. He was afraid that the loss of hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation would affect the stability of his Dao foundation, so he prepared to return to the The Great World and enter seclusion to recover.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan, Lady Yu, and Dao Lord Zheng Zhu did not stay for long and left.

...

Sixty years later, Phecda Peak, Shi Xuan's cave abode.

On the cloud bed, Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He split his thoughts and traveled to various realms, experiencing all kinds of different customs.

After digesting the gains from the battle with Dao Lord Daokong and turning them into his own accumulation, Shi Xuan felt that his cultivation had indeed improved a little. However, the Arts Development Realm of the heretic path was still illusory and difficult to reach.

Suddenly, Shi Xuan's primordial spirit shook, and he felt that his Taoist Heart was more perfect and clear.

A smile appeared on Shi Shuan's face as he slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head sideways and said to another cave dwelling on Phecda Peak, "Congratulations, master, for passing through the decline of mana."

This was because Mo Yuan had passed the second Celestial Blight and became the sixth almighty to open up a Minor Chiliocosm since Yu Yutian, Yu Yutian's strength had increased again. Therefore, the Innate Oath had given back to Shi Xuan, allowing Shi Xuan's cultivation to improve.

In fact, excluding Lady Yu and Xiao Zhenzi, the two reincarnated almighties, as well as Shi Xuan, whose soul and body did not belong to Yu Yutian, Mo Yuan was the third person to reach this realm after Meng Nishang and Xu Zhenjun. It was no wonder that the Innate Oath had given back so much.

"Yes, I have to focus on stabilizing my realm and cultivating immortal techniques." Mo Yuan was still as calm as ever, without the slightest fluctuation of emotions, as if he had not passed through a big difficulty in the fifth Celestial Blight, but the end of an ordinary seclusion.

Shi Xuan sighed and criticized, "Even passing through the Celestial Blight can't make Master lose his composure. I wonder if I have to wait until the Dao Heart Blight to see Master's emotions."

While criticizing, Shi Xuan said with a smile, "Once the Celestial Blight is passed, the Celestial Blight of Essence Spirit is relatively less dangerous. Among the Essence Spirits of the orthodox Daoism who have reached this step, seven or eight out of ten can pass through it."

But Shi Xuan himself, due to lack of preparation, almost failed in the Celestial Blight of Essence Spirit.

After chatting with Mo Yuan for a while, Shi Xuan retracted his Immortal Sense and did not disturb him in stabilizing his realm. Then, he examined his gains just now.

"If not for the fact that Nirvana Daoist is not far from the Great Dao of Separation and Reunion, I would have used millions of years to cleanse and cleanse my soul. Coupled with the gradual recovery of Yu Yutian's qi, I would have a high chance of achieving the heretical dao development."

"The Oath of the Heart is not like a Grand Wish. It can't help me directly achieve the heretical dao development. However, if I'm just one step away, the feedback from the Oath of the Heart might have a miraculous effect."

"However, I'm still a long way from achieving the heretical dao development."

As his thoughts fluctuated, Lady Yu's Immortal Sense descended and her voice sounded, "In another half a month, it will be Daoist Lord Purple Cloud's Dao Integration Ceremony. At that time, we will go directly to the Everjoy Great World."

…

Half a month later, in the Everjoy Great World of the Great Heavenly World.

Outside the film, spacetime distorted and fluctuated. Shi Xuan, who was dressed in a green robe, and Lady Yu, who was dressed in a purple robe, walked out.

The billions of Heavenly Demons nearby seemed to have smelled something bad. In an instant, they retreated like the tide, leaving behind a deep and peaceful void.

Shi Xuan looked around and saw dozens of half-step Golden Immortals entering the Great Thousand World in an imposing manner, riding on yellow dragons and red-crowned cranes, leisurely flying over, or like him and Lady Yu, arriving in a carefree manner. He could not help but sigh. "This is truly a grand ceremony that lives up to its name. It can be said that Daoist Lords of the Zenith Heaven and Future Buddhas are all here. This is an unprecedented grand occasion."

Lady Yu chuckled. "Old geezer Purple Cloud has always been ostentatious and likes to show off in front of others. He has a personality that loves to be in the limelight. That's why only he would do something like this."

Shi Xuan and Lady Yu chatted as they walked into the Everjoy Great World side by side.

The Immortal Cloud Sect where Daoist Purple Cloud resided was established above the Nine Heavens. The white clouds set off countless magnificent palaces, giving off a feeling of being high and mighty.

The Immortal Cloud Sect's Welcoming Lord Of Heaven had never seen so many half-step Golden Immortals like today. He was shocked and could not help but be a little reserved.

One of the Welcoming Lord Of Heaven flew over and said to Shi Xuan and Lady Yu, "Seniors, are you Daoist Lord Yu Yutian Penglai Shenxiao and Daoist Lord Tianxuan?"

As soon as he said that, the Welcoming Lord Of Heaven, the Guiding Perfected Beings, and the other Lord Of Heaven, who were on friendly terms with the Immortal Cloud Sect and were invited to attend the ceremony, all looked at Shi Xuan and Lady Yu.

Even the Half-Step Golden Immortals nearby cast a sidelong glance and nodded at Shi Xuan and Granny Yu in greeting.

One of them was known as the number one person below Daozu. Even though he had reincarnated, he had already regained the heretical path's Law Developing Realm for many years. His strength had probably recovered long ago. As for the other, he was powerful and famous. He had killed several half-step Golden Immortals and was known as the number one person below the Law Developing Realm of the heretical path.

A person's name was like a tree's shadow. It was no wonder that the Welcoming Lord Of Heaven's question attracted so much attention.

Shi Xuan nodded in response to the other half-step Golden Immortals. At the same time, he said to the Welcoming Lord Of Heaven, "Yes."

The Welcoming Lord Of Heaven replied respectfully, "I am Yang Fuzhi of the Immortal Cloud Sect. I am responsible for leading the two seniors into the dojo."

Then, he announced loudly,

"Connecting Heaven Realm's Yu Yutian Penglai Shenxiao and Daoist Lord Tianxuan are here to attend the ceremony!"

His voice was distant and resounded through the nine heavens.

...

Under Yang Fuzhi's guidance, Shi Xuan and Lady Yu arrived at a dojo that was covered in white clouds, enshrouded in Immortal Qi and blooming lotus flowers. They were arranged to sit at the front of the dojo.

Before he sat down, Shi Xuan saw many familiar half-step Golden Immortals. There was Mo Jingqiu, who was smiling and nodding; there was the mature and dignified Fairy Xuan Xiao, who was smiling and nodding; there was Lady Mystic Fairy, who was smiling sweetly; there was Zhu Hongtu, who had just split his thoughts and was still struggling to fulfill his great wish; there was Wang Dalu, who looked like an old farmer; there was the elegant and otherworldly Dao Lord Zheng Zhu; there were even Dao Lord Daokong, Dao Lord Chengkong, and Dao Lord Bukong.

This was truly a grand event for half-step Golden Immortals.

After responding to the half-step Golden Immortals he was familiar with, Shi Xuan suddenly saw a beautiful woman in white with bright eyes and white teeth nodding at him with a smile. He was stunned because he did not seem to know her.

Lady Yu chuckled and said, "She is Lady Xuan Pin, a disciple of Ehuang."

Shi Xuan came to a realization. "So, she is the reincarnated Numinous Treasure who caused the war among Golden Immortals in the Big Dipper World. But this time, she probably will not bring the Gate of Xuan Pin with her."

After returning the greeting, Shi Xuan had just sat down when another half-step Golden Immortal came in. It was the Celestial Monarch of Chaos who was surrounded by countless Darkness Immortal Flowers.

Shi Xuan greeted her with a smile and said to Lady Yu, "It seems that I have a lot of friends among half-step Golden Immortals."

The Celestial Monarch of Chaos had yet to attain the Heretic Dao Development. This time, Daolord Purple Cloud's Dao Unification might be a great opportunity. Hence, his aura was a little solemn. After responding to Shi Xuan, he found a white cloud and sat down, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

As for Shi Xuan, although they were not in the same location, there was no barrier to communication for half-step Golden Immortals. He spread his immortal senses and discussed the Dao with Lady Yu, Mo Jingqiu, Zhu Hongtu, Wang Dalu, Fairy Xuan Xiao, and the others while waiting for the ceremony in another way.

As they conversed, another half-step Golden Immortal arrived outside the dojo. It was the majestic Shao Zhuoran in a loose robe.

When Mo Jingqiu saw him, he could not help but smile. "During the Grand Void Dharma Assembly that we attended, there were already four Lord Of Heaven who attained the Dao. This is unprecedented."

Other than Shi Xuan, Mo Jingqiu, and Shao Zhuoran who attended the Grand Void Dharma Assembly, the ordinary Lord Of Heaven Lu Jinshu had also become a half-step Golden Immortal more than a thousand years ago. This made the Grand Void Dharma Assembly famous, and countless Lord Of Heaven wanted to receive an invitation.

"What a pity, the Grand Void Dharma Assembly is probably a lost cause." Shi Xuan sighed slightly. With his current realm, he could clearly tell that Qian Xuzi's Dao foundation was almost complete, and only the final step was to stabilize it.

As for the other Lord Of Heaven in the Grand Void Dharma Assembly, An Yile had fallen in the third Deva's Blight, under the tutelage of Daozu, who also had a transcending immortal art. Lian Yu had fallen in the Dao Heart Decay, Shen Yimo had fallen in the Lifespan Decline, Shi Jingren had fallen in the hands of Shi Xuan, Yan Sheng had fallen in the Dao Heart Decay, and so on and so forth. Some of them had not even passed the Dharmic Decline.

However, other than the few who had become half-step Golden Immortals, there were still some Lord Of Heaven who attended the Grand Void Dharma Assembly that were still alive, lingering in the Deva's Five Blights. After all, it had only been about 20,000 years since the Grand Void Dharma Assembly, and it was not the time for the two Deva's Tribulations to descend. For example, Shen Chenxi had fallen in the Deva's Dao Heart Decay.

Mo Jingqiu laughed mockingly and said, "That's why we're considered unprecedented and unparalleled. Speaking of which, in the past 10,000 years, there were three half-step Golden Immortals born in the universe, far more than in the past. It feels like a storm is brewing. "

Other than Shao Zhuoran and Lu Jinshu, there was another Lord Of Heaven, Cui Mingyuan, who had become a half-step Golden Immortal.

This Dao Lord Cui Mingyuan was not a peerless genius, nor was he a disciple of a major sect, but he had walked step by step in an extremely steady manner. It took him nearly a thousand years to reach the Essence Soul Realm. On average, the four Heavenly Tribulations took him nearly five thousand years each. The first four Deva's Tribulations took him about nine thousand years on average. Only the Deva's Dao Heart Decay took him only two thousand years to pass, and he became a Grand Heavenly Immortal beyond everyone's expectations.

Not long after Shao Zhuoran entered the dojo, the ceremony officially began. Dao Lord Purple Cloud, who was dressed in a prominent purple robe, walked to the high platform in the center of the dojo, surrounded by the Flower Scattering Goddess and the Sword Boy.

At this point, a total of 795 half-step Golden Immortals were present, and all the half-step Golden Immortals in the Art Development Realm were present.
