The low earth becomes the ocean, the low man becomes the king.
The sage is nameless, the great invisible.
The eagle stands as if asleep, the tiger walks as if sick.
Expensive but not conspicuous, magnificent but not flashy.
Talented but not boastful, high position but not arrogant.
Concealing one's strength and biding one's time.
… …
The Great Dao was simple, returning to its natural state. This was Ye Xuan's current state. There was no pressure from the Saints, nor was there an aura that made all living beings in the Celestial Capital fear him. Ye Xuan was strolling through the vast universe.
So close yet worlds apart, traversing through space. This was a technique only a Saint could use. However, this technique had quietly appeared on Ye Xuan. Although he was not a Saint, he had unknowingly displayed a technique only a Saint could use. This formless technique and Dao was the most terrifying.
With a single thought, everything in the world would be in his heart. With a single thought, everything in the world would be reduced to dust. With every step Ye Xuan took, he would appear in a new world. Everything was silent, and the laws of the world were suppressed.
This was not Ye Xuan's intention. His technique and Dao were too terrifying. Unknowingly, it had a great impact on the world he was in.
The Heavenly Dao's Three Tribulations was to prove one's Dao through strength. To be precise, Ye Xuan had not yet become a Saint. He only had the same cultivation level as the Seven Saints.
He did not have the Heavenly Dao's blessing, nor was he known by all living beings. He was not like the Houtu Earth's Saint, where flowers rained down from the sky and sweet springs gushed from the earth. Everyone in the Three Realms knew about it, and the Saints of various orthodoxies came to congratulate him.
Ye Xuan was like a volcano. He looked ordinary and harmless, but no one knew what kind of destructive power was contained in Ye Xuan's body. When this volcano erupted, it would cause terrible consequences for the Three Realms.
If there was a difference between Ye Xuan and the Seven Saints, it would be their so-called potential!
The Seven Saints had reached their end. They could only submit to the Heavenly Dao for the rest of their lives. There was no possibility for their cultivation to improve.
However, Ye Xuan was different. He had only passed the Heavenly Dao's Three Tribulations. There were still six more Tribulations waiting for him, until he surpassed the Heavenly Dao and became the Saint of all Saints.
There were nine tribulations of the Heavenly Dao, and each tribulation represented life and death.
Every time he was pushed to the brink of death, it was a process of shedding his cocoon and transforming into a butterfly. It would also allow Ye Xuan's cultivation to undergo an extremely terrifying increase.
The path of cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. To transcend the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao and become the Saint of All Saints, Ye Xuan's path had just begun.
However, Ye Xuan could not wait any longer. He wanted to temporarily put aside the matter of cultivation. He wanted to seek out the kindness and enmity of the past. He also wanted to find some people to settle some things.
Ye Xuan's principle had always been to repay kindness and avenge enmity. When he possessed a cultivation comparable to that of a Saint, it was also the time when he could sweep through the entire universe.
Ye Xuan flew through the sky without any ripples. The boundless world flitted past behind him, and the so-called laws of heaven and earth were being annihilated inch by inch. This proved that within his seemingly calm body, a terrifying power was being nurtured.
…
The world was in an uproar, and the Three Realms were shaken.
Too many shocking events had happened in the past hundred thousand years, bringing unimaginable changes to the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms.
The birth of the Liches, the strife between the Chan and Jie Dynasties, the shocking battle between the two Celestial Courts, the birth of a Saint, and even the descent of a Heavenly Tribulation.
The Three Realms were in endless turmoil, and tens of thousands of souls were in mourning. In the thirty thousand years after Houtu became a Saint, the power structure of the Three Realms was broken.
As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to the heavens. This sentence could be used to describe the Magi.
Ever since Houtu became a Saint, the Magi rose to power. They vaguely resembled the number one orthodoxy in the Three Realms, causing the various factions to be extremely wary of them.
She controlled the cycle of reincarnation and controlled life and death. Houtu was given the title of Mother Earth, and was also known as Goddess Houtu. She established the Houtu Palace outside the 33 Heavens, and was officially known as the seventh Saint of the world.
The Houtu Palace also became the sacred ground in the hearts of the Magi.
Since ancient times, the Magi had been blessed by the heavens. Although they did not have Essence Souls, their bodies were extremely powerful. They far surpassed immortals and demons in the same realm.
Now that Houtu had become a Saint, the Magi naturally rose in status. The Ancient Demon Court was the most affected. It could be said that they were completely suppressed by the Magi.
Everyone knew that the Great Magi-Demon War had begun, and both races had suffered heavy casualties. They had also formed an irreconcilable feud. Now that the Magi had gained power, how could they let the demons off?
Moreover, one should not forget that the Ancient Demon Court and the 33 Heavens Celestial Court had engaged in an earth-shattering battle in the past. The two Celestial Courts had activated the Heaven and Earth Arrays. Not only had they caused a boundless calamity to the Three Realms, but both sides had also suffered heavy casualties. Half of the ancient demons had died, and the two Demon Thearchs had also suffered heavy injuries. The ones who benefited the most were the Magi.
The conflict between the Magi and the demons arose again. However, this time, the demons were continuously injured. From time to time, one could see the Magi chasing after the demons.
That was only one of them. The Chan School and Jie School were also fighting endlessly. The Western Sect was also taking advantage of the situation, causing the Three Realms to become more and more turbulent.
The two Demon Thearchs of the Ancient Demon Court saw the suppression and killing of the Magi. This made the two Demon Thearchs extremely furious, but they did not have a way to resist the Magi.
That was because the current Magi were too terrifying. Not only did they have a Saint behind them, but they also had several Ancestral Magi and countless Ancient Magi and Grand Magi. Although the Magi were few in number, they were all extremely powerful existences.
Logically speaking, the Magi had the Saint of the Earth behind them, but the Demon Clan also had Nüwa. The two Demon Thearchs naturally could not watch the Demon Clan be suppressed by the Magi. They even personally went to the Nüwa Palace, hoping that Nüwa could help the Demon Clan survive this calamity on account of the fact that they were both demons.
Unfortunately, the two Demon Thearchs did not even enter the Nüwa Palace and were directly rejected. Clearly, Nüwa did not want to participate in the battle between the Magi and the Demon Clan.
Clearly, the two Demon Thearchs had been able to invite Nüwa in the past because Nüwa owed them a favor for becoming Saints. However, this favor had been repaid, so she naturally would not interfere in the Demon Clan's business now. From this, it could be seen that Nüwa was extremely cold.
The two Demon Thearchs were angry at Nüwa, but they could only retreat from the Nüwa Palace and return to the Ancient Demon Court to issue a decree, telling the Demon Clan not to fight with the Magi anymore. When they saw the Magi, they had to retreat. The two Demon Thearchs were even more disheartened and rarely walked out of the Ancient Demon Court.
On the other hand, the Magi were different. Houtu was one of the 12 Ancestral Magi of the ancient times. She had experienced the Great War of the Magi and the Demon Clan back then. She had deep feelings for the Magi and stood firmly behind the Magi. This also made the Magi more powerful.
Houtu had just become a Saint and was the seventh Saint. The other Saints wanted to rope in this new Saint, so they naturally turned a blind eye to the Magi. This was also the reason why Nüwa did not want to stand up for the Demon Clan.
Because if Nüwa really stood up for the Demon Clan, this battle between the Magi would develop into a battle between her and Houtu. This was not the result that Nüwa wanted to see.
