Chapter 1001: The Answer

Ten years ago, a Daluo Golden Immortal in the Deceit Realm fell, and it was later confirmed that the fallen one was Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch, who once wielded the Yunluo Immortal Seal and obtained all the Longevity White Mist of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

Three years ago, an Immortal Venerable’s aura erupted in the Deceit Realm, lifting the earth for hundreds of millions of miles, and the essence of earth and energy of mountains and rivers were taken, causing endless suffering and death.

A year ago, at high noon, the sun suddenly disappeared, and at midnight, there was suddenly a sign of the celestial dog devouring the moon. Later, it became widely believed that these were the handiwork of Yunluo Immortal Venerable.

He is seizing the essence of heaven and earth to repair the loss from abandoning the Yunluo Immortal Seal back then.

“Yunluo Immortal Venerable is more insane than we imagined. By doing so, the time to repair the Yunluo Immortal Seal would be greatly shortened… I’m afraid it won’t be long before the world ends!”

“Alas, it was bound to come sooner or later, but I never thought that our generation would be unable to live out our remaining years…”

“I really can’t accept it… My children haven’t even grown up yet, why?”

Various signs reaching the people have made them increasingly desperate.

When the apocalypse comes, the world becomes even more chaotic, and even the Celestial Palace struggles to maintain order. Some burn, kill, and pillage, while others go around violating female cultivators…

“Who can save us? What about the Celestial Palace? The Human Race Great Saint? We once followed the Celestial Palace, revered Shangguan Great Saint. Now that the world is in peril, where are they?”

“Ha, what a supreme sect of the world, all finished. Everyone is running away at this critical moment!”

“Where should we go? I really don’t want to die…”

Confusion, chaos!

Dao Sect.

“Reporting to Master, all regions are in chaos. I’ve notified all major celestial palaces and holy lands to take action, but many forces haven’t responded.”

Dao Qing’an, the disciple of An Li, came in to report.

An Li nodded and said, “Pass my order, disciples of the Dao Sect at the Immortal Level or above, travel the world, eradicate evil as much as possible!”

Dao Qing’an’s face showed a hint of hesitation, saying, “Master, with current turmoil and scattered hearts, even if our sect’s disciples take action, it would be like a drop in the ocean and they might fall into danger instead…”

An Li looked at him and said, “Do you know why the Dao Sect is the Dao Sect?”

“Because of responsibility.”

An Li calmly said, “As long as you are still part of the Dao Sect, you must consider the welfare of all beings, no matter the cost!”

“When the Spirit Realm was in chaos back then, not a single elder from the Dao Sect took a step back, they died without regret.”

“Disciples of the Dao Sect, from Supreme to Qi Refining, must at least have such courage, otherwise, how can they be considered part of the Dao Sect?”

He stood up, recalling something, and said, “Do you know Taiqingzi?”

Dao Qing’an said, “Disciple knows, the 130th Sect Leader of the Dao Sect, later became the Supreme of the Dao Sect.”

“Early on, Taiqingzi once for the continuation of the Dao Sect, for the world’s peril, deprived Li An Supreme of the Demon Seed. How do you think he did?”

An Li stared at his disciple, seemingly extremely concerned about his answer.

Dao Qing’an was silent for a moment, this part of history, he had actually read before. The Dao Sect’s records do not glorify the venerables, all deeds are recorded truthfully.

“For the welfare of all beings, it is inevitable.”

Dao Qing’an bowed, “Taiqingzi was heroic, Li An Supreme, heroic!”

An Li did not comment on his answer, just gave a bleak smile, saying, “There is one more thing, pass it down, prepare for the Daoist Sect Leader succession ceremony.”

Dao Qing’an was surprised.

“You are correct, back then, when Taiqingzi schemed against Li An Supreme, indeed there was no selfishness, but for this matter, he still paid the price, relinquishing the throne to another, enduring agony. And now, the Sect Leader position is not suitable for me…”

He patted Dao Qing’an’s shoulder, “Do well, the position of Daoist Sect Leader has seen many heroes and many scoundrels.”

After finishing, An Li walked down the hall.

Dao Qing’an watched An Li’s back, lost in thought.

…

Time flew by, in the blink of an eye, it had been over a hundred years.

A century has passed, Li An and Shangguan Xiao Xiao finally got tired of staying in the small town, so they started to “travel” around many places.

They lived in a small village for two or three years, farming several acres of land.

They visited the glaciers in the extreme north of the Spirit Realm, where they watched the aurora in the heavens and earth, saw many miraculous creatures, and spent a long time with a local worldly hunter tribe.

Feeling bored, Shangguan Xiao Xiao asked Li An to take her whale riding, so they entered the Southern Sea, captured a giant whale, and roamed the four corners, surfing against the sun, experiencing ultimate joy.

They even lived on a cloud-reaching peak for years, amidst the clouds and rainbow mist, seemingly detached from the entire mortal world.

They walked through the secular realm, experiencing it in an unprecedented manner, enjoying it.

The present is everything, what the eyes see is what they get.

Such leisure that Li An and her have already forgotten time.

But time ultimately did not forget them.

On this day, the entire thirty-three heavens shook, mysterious light emanated from the nine heavens above, and all the beings of the world were uneasy, many believed Yunluo Immortal Venerable was about to sacrifice the world.

All Daluo focused their attention.

“Yunluo Immortal Venerable has re-forged the Yunluo Immortal Seal…”

“Ahead of schedule much more than we imagined, Immortal Venerable’s means are truly unimaginable…”

“Is this the unmatched brilliance of the present age?”

Many Daluo Golden Immortals whispered.

Back in the day, Shangguan Xiao Xiao, An Li, and others exhausted their strategies, forcing the Yunluo Immortal Venerable to step down, abandoning his own Yunluo Immortal Seal, originally thinking that doing so could bring a millennium of peace to the world.
