Chapter 415: Chapter 188: A Dream of Nanke, a Changed World, True Inheritance of the Righteous Dharma Heaven’s Daoist Lineage, Condensing the ’Daoist Seed

However...

A vast consciousness, as if blanketing the heavens and the earth, suddenly rose and enveloped the entire Chaotic Heaven Lake.

In that instant, all voices fell silent.

"My physical body was destroyed by Wang Xuanyang years ago, and even I am not in a hurry. What is all this fuss about?"

The deep, resonant voice swept across the entire Shuipo Lake, making everyone from the high-ranking Dragon Heads to the great Water Dao marauders and common Water Bandits tremble. A moment later, their shock turned to elation.

"It’s the Great Celestial King..."

"Great Celestial King, you’ve awakened!?"

The few highest-ranking chieftains exchanged glances, then broke down in tears.

"Big Brother, you’re finally awake! Tenth Brother was beaten to death in Anning County by a disciple of Wang Xuanyang from the Celestial Blade Style! Now our feud with them is irreconcilable!"

"And before that, one of his grand-disciples stole the Spirit Fish we caught! These are all debts that must be paid, one by one!"

"Before you awakened, you told us to lie low and bide our time."

"Has the time now come? Should we raise our Chaotic Heaven Banner of Righteousness over every Prefecture and County and turn the world upside down!?"

"Just give the word, Big Brother, and we’ll throw ourselves into the fray to topple all those Grand Lineages, Schools, and Prefecture Officials!"

Above Chaotic Heaven Lake, a howling wind kicked up, making the crimson banners snap and fly!

But the Red-Beard Celestial King, who existed only as a Divine Soul, stood firm in the depths of Shuipo Lake, right beside a spring. Even under the bright light of day, he was watching as an illusory Realm Gate slowly opened at his side...

He spoke again.

"Patience."

"This time..."

"...the stakes are much higher than before, when it was just our Chaotic Heaven Lake getting involved!"

A cold look appeared on his face.

"Tenth Brother went to Anning County to serve as a Commander for that Dharma Guardian General. Inside that Earth Dragon Cave, a Realm Gate has already opened in secret."

"Soon, a Dharma Guardian General will step through, leading troops of Weapon-Holding Divine Armor!"

"And as for our Chaotic Heaven Lake..."

The Red-Beard Celestial King spread his arms wide.

"Once this gate opens completely and I master the Ghost Immortal Dao, then even without my physical body..."

"...a mere Wang Xuanyang, a mere Jiangyin Prefecture..."

"...I can crush them with a flick of my finger! Even if a Martial Saint showed up, it would be futile!"

...

"Master, have you heard of the ’Righteous Dharma Heaven’?"

"The Righteous Dharma Heaven? How do you know so much, kid? What ancient book did you read that in?"

"There are as many as thirty-three Outer Dao Celestial Universes."

"But the ones with truly profound foundations are none other than the Three Immortal Realms, the two Buddhist and Daoist Pure Lands, and the great worlds like the Abyss Ruins, the Celestial Humans, and the Divine Beings."

"These realms are like brilliant suns, reigning high above all others, compelling all living things to bow and follow the Cultivation methods of the Immortals and the Pure Land System."

"The Righteous Dharma Heaven is one of the Three Immortal Realms. Legend says it was personally created by one of the Three Celestial Venerables and is shrouded in mystery."

"Our Great Xuan Territory is connected to all these realms, and it lies at the very center. Any being from the Outer Dao who enters will find their power weakened and their influence suppressed."

"That is why, over nine thousand years and Nine Dynasties, the Great Xuan has endured. The only exceptions are at the turn of each millennium, when the shackles of Heaven and Earth weaken. During those times, supreme experts with Great Divine Techniques can enter, which always leads to the destruction of the reigning Human Immortal Dynasty."

"But at all other times, we can suppress them. After a few decades of chaos, a new dynasty always rises from the ashes."

「Jiangyin Pier.」

An old man and a youth walked up to the pier. On their way, Ji Xiu, who had recently awoken from a Yellow Millet Dream, had been asking questions out of curiosity.

Though Xu Longxiang found his questions a little strange, he answered them all with familiar ease, giving Ji Xiu a much clearer picture of the world.

’Righteous Dharma Heaven, Nanming Mountain, Red Essence Hall.’

’Was it really just a Yellow Millet Dream?’

Mulling over this question, Ji Xiu and Xu Longxiang arrived at the section of the pier overseen by Qii Zhao.

Out on the vast and boundless East Canghai...

...the Cangming Monarch was stirring up the waves, thoroughly enjoying the tribute offered to him.

Meanwhile, on the pier itself,

several familiar faces from Anning County were waiting, looking a bit anxious. They seemed to be expecting the arrival of some important figure.

(PS: I’m planning to change the book’s title to ’Mortal Saint!’ Please add this book to your shelves, and if the title changes, please make a note of it so you can still find it! QWQ)
