Chapter 253: Heavenly Dao Stage and Buddhist Dao Stage
Although she had long been subjugated, she still found it difficult to call him “Master”, being a lofty being at the Primordial Spirit stage.
Nie Qingqiu couldn\'t fathom how this man in the snow-white Daoist robe, who was merely at the early Divine Core stage, had managed to cultivate such an indifferent nature. Even she felt inferior in this regard.
Previously, there were dozens of Divine Core stage slaves in this Domain, but over time their numbers dwindled. Just now, the last few had followed suit, their souls extinguished.
Xu Disheng looked at Li Xuanji and said, “It has been a hundred years since we last met, Senior Martial Brother Xuanji. Have you come here for some important matter?”
This was how the Spirit Race of the Profound Depth Spiritual World was. With how vast and boundless the realm was, each pursued their own cultivation. Without any pressing matters, they did not travel far.
“Profound Insight Greater Lord captured a large number of slaves a few decades ago. They are now imprisoned in his Domain. If you need them, Junior Martial Brother Xu, you can claim them after we return,” Li Xuanji said, having fully regained his composure. He looked at Xu Disheng with a complex gaze as he continued, “Greater Lord Mo Yu of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect has transcended the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation and reached the Divine Sea stage. The sect is hosting an event called the Dawndusk Spirit Banquet, and they invited nearly half of the Central Region’s influences. The Profound Depth Spiritual World, as a neighboring celestial land, was among the first to receive an invitation.”
Xu Disheng nodded and asked, “From the sound of it, will it just be the two of us attending, Senior Martial Brother Xuanji?”
Li Xuanji replied, “Indeed. Reverend Spirit Posterity sought me out recently, telling us both to represent the Profound Depth Spiritual World at the banquet. No one else wished to attend.”
Xu Disheng\'s eyes flickered slightly as he gazed into the abyss of the Profound Depth Spiritual World and said, “The birth of a Divine Sea stage being should be a grand and lively event. Then why…”
Li Xuanji shook his head, “This time is different from the past. All of the strongest sects in the Central Region, even the major celestial lands, have completely lost contact with those up above.”
He pointed skyward, his expression inscrutable…
…
Chan looked to the sky, her eyes radiating disbelief. Her gaze remained fixed on the unknown expanse above as she sensed the faint aura emanating from it.
“This is the aura of predestination! How is this possible? Since the collapse of the Immortal Court, countless beings have freed themselves from the shackles of preordained fate. The shackles of fate were shattered. How could it…”
Moments later, she recalled the words “Supreme Sovereign” that she heard in the Human Realm. Her beautiful lips curved slightly and she murmured, “So it\'s not just me. Then, I shall assist you this once.”
Chan, an Immortal being born from a Buddhist true spirit, had regained her peak Grandmaster stage cultivation base. She was just a half-step away from reaching the Immortal Dao stage. With her supreme Immortal Treasure, the Floating Life Wheel, she could overwhelm any Rank 2 Divine Lord of the Heavenly Court and the Arhat grandmasters of the Great Sun Buddhist World.
In the three realms and nine heavens, aside from Saha Heaven, only the three Bodhisattvas of the Golden Crow\'s Three Realms and the several Rank 1 Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Court could restrain her. This supreme Immortal Treasure in her hands allowed her to annihilate the billions of living beings in the Deep Night Realm of the Three Realms of the Yin Wheel within moments. Although Divine Emperor Violet Cloud quickly appeared in the Deep Night Realm to stop her, he still ended up letting her get away.
As she spoke, Chan activated her Immortal Treasure. Violet celestial light enveloped her, and she vanished into a beam of light.
A few days later…
The secret passages between the Heavenly Court and the Human Realm, hidden within the major celestial lands, were practically destroyed in their entirety. Since the interaction between the Heavenly Court and the Human Realm was only an unspoken rule among the Grandmaster stage chief deities of the 72 Houses of the Heavenly Court, there was no way for the matter to be openly discussed. The heavenly laws were strict, always forbidding any interaction between the Heavenly Court and the Human Realm.
For a time, the deities of the 72 Houses tried everything they could to reestablish contact with the Human Realm, but no matter what they tried, they couldn\'t break through the barrier between the realms again.
With the aura of the chains of preordained fate reappearing once more, the barriers between the three realms and nine heavens became increasingly impenetrable, seemingly foretelling the return of that great terror that once oppressed all beings.
Due to his duties, the chief deity of the House of the Earth God had to meet with Divine Emperor Violet Cloud, who oversaw the western Houses, to report that the House of the Earth God could no longer monitor the Human Realm.
However, he was barred from even entering the Divine Emperor’s mansion, receiving only a few words from one of the Divine Emperor\'s guardian deities before shamefacedly returning to the House of the Earth God.
The guardian deity had given him a nonchalant glance and said, “You, a Grandmaster stage being and a Rank 2 Divine Lord in charge of a House, dare to seek an audience with Divine Emperor Violet Cloud over such trivial matters?”
The several Rank 1 Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Court were all at the Dao stage, like the Bodhisattvas of Saha Heaven. This was the stage where Bodhisattvas cultivated the Buddhist Dao to the pinnacle, and for the Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Court it was the Heavenly Dao. Although there were some points where they differed, there was no discernible difference in terms of strength and seniority.
Among the several Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Court, there were two who were Xiantian beings. Divine Emperor Violet Cloud was one such Xiantian being. From birth, his cultivation base had been at the pinnacle Heavenly Dao stage, blessed with the powers of creation and inconceivable magical abilities. However, at the time, his lifespan had been heavily restricted by the Immortal Court of the Floating Immortal Heaven, which had left him with only several tens of thousands of years.
With the complete collapse of the Immortal Court, Divine Emperor Violet Cloud, along with the Lord of the Heavenly Court, established the new Heavenly Court. From that point on, he held the rank of Divine Emperor, gaining true immortality.
The subtle changes in the House of the Earth God and the Heavenly Court were noticed early on by Divine Emperor Violet Cloud and the other Divine Emperors. They were aware of Chan\'s actions, but her half-step Dao stage cultivation base and Immortal Treasure made it impossible to subdue her for the time being.
However, if Chan attempted to annihilate another realm, she wouldn\'t succeed. After the incident in the Deep Night Realm, the Three Realms of the Yin Wheel and the Nine Serenities Realm were under constant watch by the Divine Emperors. Should Chan dare to appear openly again, even with her supreme Immortal Treasure, she would only be faced with the destruction of her true spirit.
Due to the rules set by the two major Heavenly Realms, Chan could only use her Immortal Treasure to manipulate events from a distance in the Human Realm, where Divine Sea stage beings were the limit of what could appear.
Moreover, the paths from the Human Realm to the Heavenly Court were irreversible. Once any being went to the Heavenly Court, they could no longer return to the Human Realm.
