The Dipankara Ancient Buddha looked at the Bodhisattva and said with a smile, "It's not appropriate for me and the others to show up. I'll have to trouble you to interact with us and the Three Clear lineage."
"I hope there's a suitable time." The Bodhisattva shook her head and sighed before leaving.
The Dipankara Ancient Buddha watched her leaving silhouette and retracted his gaze after a while.
Eighteen glowing five-colored pearls appeared in front of him.
Looking at the Sea Calming Pearl that was missing a quarter, the ancient Buddha shook his head and smiled. Then, he kept the pearl.
Sitting on the lotus, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha's expression was calm. His gaze no longer fluctuated. His eyes were slightly closed, as if they were extinguished.
No matter if it was the Western Pure Lands or the Astro Mountains Starry Seas, they all remained silent after receiving the news of the Three Clear lineage establishing the Daoism Myriad Heavens.
The Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus that had been actively suppressing the orthodox Daoism didn't make any noise.
The three new Dao universes swaggered about and existed openly in the void's outskirts. However, the other forces seemed to have ignored this fact.
Compared to thousands of years ago, when the Daoism universe, the World beyond Worlds, and the Roving Jade Heavens were established, they experienced a long and bloody battle.
In the dark times that the orthodox Daoism had experienced after the Great Calamity, they had paid an immeasurable price to finally be able to find a stable place to settle down and develop.
After all, there were very few hidden and stable places like the Jade Spring World.
Most of the time, the people of Daoism would struggle to survive within the cracks.
People like Li Xingba and Daoist Crimson Mist lived in seclusion. Even if no one went to suppress them, it was obviously impossible for them to develop and spread their lineage.
Immortal Realm experts with their cultivation would naturally be fine if they were to leave the mortal world.
However, the selection of successors and the nurturing of successors couldn't be separated from the mortal world.
Only with sufficient population could a small number of outstanding geniuses emerge.
Only with sufficient stability in the middle and lower levels could they continuously produce new blood.
Today, the orthodox Daoism lineage no longer had to worry about such issues.
Suo Mingzhang, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, the North Star Emperor, the Incongruence Divine Mother, and the other Daoism Heavenly Lords didn't have to continue drifting within the void's outskirts.
They reopened their abodes and lived here peacefully. At the same time, it also meant that more martial arts inheritances would be passed down, more people would be born, and more human worlds would be established.
From then on, the Daoist martial artists could walk in the endless void of the outer realm. Although they were not without scruples, they did not need to hide like stray dogs and worry about being besieged and pursued.
There were more resources and more treasures. Whether or not they could compete with the other factions was another matter. At the very least, they could openly compete with others with their own abilities.
He no longer had to worry about enemies of a higher level appearing all of a sudden, but he didn't have any big shots backing him up.
No matter how high he was, he could not be a Dao Realm mighty figure. In the past, the biggest embarrassment of the Dao Sect martial artists was that they did not have a Dao Ancestor who could stabilize the situation.
Although it still did not exist, the Immortal Execution Formation had changed the situation.
The overall situation was indeed different.
Seeing Suo Mingzhang taking away the Canghua Divine Tree formed by Shao Junhuang's slough, Yan Zhaoge and the others were filled with emotions.
Now, everything was the expectation of the predecessors of Daoism like Shao Junhuang after the Great Calamity.
One couldn't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. It was precisely because of the efforts of generations after generations that the glimmer of light finally grew stronger. In the end, it turned into the sun rising from the east and started dispelling the darkness and coldness.
Yan Zhaoge opened his palm, and an indistinct radiance rose up. It gradually expanded and turned into a huge wheel of light.
After the radiance dissipated, a black iron wheel appeared on Yan Zhaoge's hand. There were twelve holes on the wheel.
It was the Great Netherworld Wheel.
The huge black iron wheel continuously rotated. Currently, the Canghua Divine Tree that was left in the Bright Connection Valley had countless blue flowers blooming without any signs.
The blue flower petals floated down like fine snowflakes and landed on the black iron wheel.
Yan Di also extended his hand and tapped lightly. A red radiance appeared on his fingertip. The red radiance expanded and enveloped the Bright Connection Valley.
This red radiance originated from the Immortal Trapping Sword. Yan Di intercepted it and kept it with him.
The dark red radiance transformed into a curtain, presenting an eternal scene.
A man in purple and a woman in white stood side by side with their backs facing Yan Zhaoge and the others.
The man in purple held the sword in his left hand, while the woman in white held the sword in her right hand. Her left hand was linked with the man's right hand.
Other than the back view in front of Yan Zhaoge and the others, they could also see the man and woman looking at each other. They revealed half of their faces and smiled.
That was the final back view of Yan Di's parents, Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian, as recorded in the Immortal Trapping Sword.
The Sword Buddha in the scene had already been eliminated by Yan Di, leaving only his parents.
Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian had sacrificed the Jade Cauldron's corpse and the Immortal Trapping Sword. As a result, their remains weren't left behind. Yan Di could only build a cenotaph as a memento, and this dark red sword-light always accompanied by his side.
Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, Yan Di, Xue Chuqing, Xu Fei, and the others all had solemn expressions on their faces and bowed solemnly.
"Grandfather, grandmother, Exalted Wood, Dim Radiant and Bright Connection seniors, and other Daoism seniors, your past efforts weren't in vain."
"We've … succeeded!"
Yan Zhaoge muttered softly.
The number of Daoism experts who perished during and after the Great Calamity was uncountable.
Currently, Yan Zhaoge and the others already knew a lot about the situation through Yang Jian, Yun Xiao Fairy, Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Xuandu Great Daoist Master, and the others.
The Jade Clear lineage, the Lord of Broad Accomplishment, the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity, the Lord of Daoism, and other bigwigs had suffered heavy casualties.
Within the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, one of the Four Imperials, the Earth Queen had perished.
Among the Three Sky Fairies, other than Yun Xiao Fairy, Qiong Xiao Fairy and Bi Xiao Fairy had perished.
The former Prime Clear lineage's pinnacle bigwig, the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Head of the Fighting Division, the Golden Spirit Divine Mother, had perished as well.
One of the proudest descendants of the Prime Clear lineage's third generation, the Lord of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Thunder Division, the Nine Heavens Responding Thunder Heavenly Lord Wen Zhong, had perished, following in the footsteps of his Master, the Golden Spirit Divine Mother.
The original owner of the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls, the Prime Clear bigwig Zhao Gongming, had also escaped the Investiture of the Gods during the Great Calamity. However, he had the same fate as Qiong Xiao Fairy and Bi Xiao Fairy.
The Zhenwu Devil-Rinsing Heavenly Lord, Longevity God Lord, Venus Star Lord … There were countless of them.
Some perished during the Great Calamity, while some perished for the sake of Daoism's revival after the Great Calamity. For example, the Incongruence Divine Mother had almost become one of them during the fight for the Immortal Extermination Formation.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian's back view.
He looked at the Great Underworld Wheel formed by Yin Tianxia's corpse.
He looked at the Canghua Divine Tree formed by Hu Yuexin's corpse.
He looked at the silhouettes that gradually appeared in front of him. While he felt disappointed, he also felt a little relieved.
"Although we haven't been able to clear away the heretics and other enemies, our Daoism's revival has already begun." Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "The golden age will arrive as everyone wishes."
