Chapter 750: Dao Ghost
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the time for the Dao Ancestor’s sermon arrived, more and more Dao seekers came to the Purple Cloud Palace to wait. The first to arrive were all in the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. That was because there was a formation set up by Jiang Changsheng in the 33rd Heaven, which was a test of one’s Dao heart. Even for a Zenith Heaven Immortal, it would take time to pass it.
As for the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, they did not want to come too early. After all, their status was higher.
Immortal Saint Wu Ji, Kunlun Dao, Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, and other disciples of the Dao Ancestor had arrived in advance. Bai Qi and the twelve Saint Mothers were also present. Other than the twelve Saint Mothers, she had also nurtured dozens of female immortals. All of them were in the Zenith Heaven Realm and were trained to specially serve her.
To be able to serve the Saint Mother of Fortune was to serve the Dao Ancestor. Therefore, even for a Zenith Heaven Immortal, they would cherish this blessing.
All of them were expressionless as they waited on the spot. In private, they communicated with each other through voice transmission. Even the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals would exchange pleasantries and exchange techniques.
The Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortals who arrived first were uneasy. They stood in groups of twos and threes, not daring to speak.
When the number of Dao seekers in front of the Purple Cloud Palace exceeded 500, it gradually became lively.
They had great expectations for the Dao Ancestor’s sermon. In particular, the first sermon after a calamity would often set the pattern of the Immortal Dao.
Time passed slowly.
Even after the number of Dao seekers exceeded tens of thousands, it still continued to increase.
Some Immortal Emperors who passed the Dao heart test also arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace. All of them had great merits, and it was their first time in the Purple Cloud Palace, so they could not restrain their excitement.
“The one in front is a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?”
“Quick, look, that’s the legendary Immortal Saint Wu Ji!”
“The Purple Cloud Palace is really magnificent. Just standing here, I feel like I am about to enter the Dao at any time.”
“I wonder what the Dao Ancestor is like.”
“I heard that there will be a second Heavenly Dao Immortal Sage at this lecture. I wonder if it’s true.”
“Immortal Saint Wu Ji’s attainments are indeed outstanding. 30,000 years ago, I went to listen to his sermon, and I have benefited greatly from it.”
The Immortal Emperors conversed among themselves. Every mighty figure that arrived would obtain their attention.
After a long time.
There were more than 30,000 Dao seekers in front of the Purple Cloud Palace. Even some powerful orthodoxies could not compare to the vast aura gathered together.
It was hard to imagine that 100,000 years ago, the Immortal Dao was in the midst of a calamity.
They waited for another hour.
Rumble
The gate of the Purple Cloud Palace finally opened. Tens of thousands of feet of golden light burst out from inside, stretching the shadows of all the Dao seekers.
“Everyone, please follow me into the palace!”
Bai Qi’s voice sounded. She turned around and walked into the Purple Cloud Palace. The Dao seekers followed behind Bai Qi in succession, while the Saint Mother and those female immortals stayed on both sides of the gate and waited for the last to enter.
The gate only closed after all the Dao seekers entered the Purple Cloud Palace.
In the depths of the boundless world, the void was filled with spatial rifts. Black flames were everywhere. There were burning stars and huge bones floating around. Terrifying figures were wandering around. Some were like humans, while others were like ferocious beasts.
Primordial Devil Venerable stood in the void and quietly looked ahead.
A huge skull named Taiyuan Primordial Demon appeared from the darkness behind him and his voice sounded. “Devil Venerable, the Dao Lord has come out of seclusion and regained control. Their target is us.”
Primordial Devil Venerable did not answer immediately and looked ahead.
Taiyuan Primordial Demon was silent for a moment before he continued. “Although the Great Dao Devil Race has been established, once Luo Dao pesters us, it will be detrimental to the development of the Great Dao Devil Race. We can either evacuate from this void or find a way to eliminate Luo Dao.”
“Eliminating Luo Dao, you really dare to think about it. Didn’t you think that the Dao Lord could not be disobeyed in the past?”
“That was in the past. The entire Great Dao Divine Court was scattered by the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao. This means that a new order is about to be established. We can find the Immortal Dao for help.”
“It’s impossible for the Dao Ancestor to help us. Didn’t you look for him before?”
“It’s not convenient for the Dao Ancestor to take action, but it’s not impossible for their Heavenly Dao Immortal Saints and their Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals to help us. According to my observations, a Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint already has the strength of a Dao Intent Lord. Those sects of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals are also not to be belittled. They are equivalent to an orthodoxy.”
Hearing this, Primordial Devil Venerable was silent.
Taiyuan Primordial Demon no longer persuaded him. After all, it was the Primordial Devil Venerable who made the decision.
All these years, Taiyuan Primordial Demon had been paying attention to the Immortal Dao. The speed of the development of the Immortal Dao shocked him. No wonder the Dao Ancestor was willing to let the Immortal Dao experience an internal calamity. It turned out that there would be such a transformation at the end of it.
After a long time.
“Then I’ll leave this matter to you,” Primordial Devil Venerable slowly said.
Taiyuan Primordial Demon immediately agreed and retreated into the darkness before disappearing.
Primordial Devil Venerable raised his right hand and black flames emerged from his palm. There was a soul in the flames and it looked like an old man. He wore a shabby Daoist robe and his hands were behind his back.
“The development of the Immortal Dao has exceeded my expectations. However, he is right. The Great Dao Devil Race must obtain the help of the Immortal Dao. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain a foothold under Luo Dao’s oppression,” the old Daoist said as he stroked his beard.
Primordial Devil Venerable snorted and said, “Then do you think the current Immortal Dao can surpass the two Immortal Dao of the past?”
The old Daoist answered with a smile, “It’s difficult. The initial stages of the Immortal Dao develop very quickly, but it will slow down when it reaches a certain realm. That so-called calamity can indeed help the Immortal Dao become stronger, but when the Immortal Dao develops to a certain extent, the calamity will become a true calamity for the Immortal Dao.”
Primordial Devil Venerable turned around and asked, “You should have seen the evil beings I killed earlier. What are they?”
Hearing this, the old Daoist’s smile disappeared and his expression became solemn. “That should be the dark side of the 3000 Great Daos. No one knows how long it has been since the birth of the boundless world. The 3000 Great Daos reflect all beings and is comprehended and cultivated by countless people. During this long process, the inner demons and distracting thoughts of those who comprehended the Dao are absorbed by the 3000 Great Daos and eventually formed a Dao Ghost.”
“The so-called Dao Ghost is what the ancient Immortal Dao called them. When someone masters or defeats the controller of the 3000 Great Daos, the Dao Ghost hidden on the other side of the boundless world will come out and harm the boundless world. Right now, it’s only the early stages, but there will be even more terrifying Dao Ghosts in the future. Let’s put it this way. Anyone who comprehends the Great Dao will have their evil thoughts created into a Dao Ghost by the Great Dao. You will also encounter a Dao Ghost that looks the same as you and as strong as you. Since ancient times, how many experts had comprehended the Great Dao? The number is unimaginable.”
The devil qi surging around Primordial Devil Venerable stopped.
The old Daoist sighed. It was unknown if he was afraid or sighing about something.
Primordial Devil Venerable suddenly said, “If the Dao Ancestor had also comprehended the laws of the Great Dao, wouldn’t another Dao Ancestor be born?”
“That’s right.”
The old Daoist’s answer made the Primordial Devil Venerable completely silent.
After the Dao Ancestor defeated the Great Dao Divine Court, he was the most powerful existence in the boundless world in the Primordial Devil Venerable’s heart. If a Dao Ghost comparable to the Dao Ancestor were to appear, it would indeed be a calamity for the boundless world.
The Great Dao Devil Race had just been established. On one hand, they had to guard against Luo Dao, but on the other hand, they had to be careful of Dao Ghosts…
At that moment, the Primordial Devil Venerable also felt the pressure.
The sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace lasted for ten thousand years. Jiang Changsheng mainly talked about the Zenith Heaven Dao and the Dao of luck and merit.
After he finished speaking, the Dao seekers in the hall were still immersed in their thoughts. As usual, he waited patiently.
The Reincarnation Great Emperor opened his eyes and saw that the other mighty figures were still comprehending the Great Dao. He immediately sent a voice transmission to the Dao Ancestor. “Dao Ancestor, if you want me to become the next Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint, I hope you can find someone else. It’s not that I’m proud and arrogant, but Hell is not suitable to have a Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint.”
Jiang Changsheng looked at him and nodded with a smile.
Not proud and arrogant?
One would say one thing but mean another.
Jiang Changsheng did not expose the Reincarnation Great Emperor. After all, the Zenith Heaven cultivators believed that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Saints could not become stronger after binding with the Heavenly Dao.
Even though Immortal Saint Wu Ji’s performance in the calamity was considered powerful, it was overshadowed by Jiang Changsheng and the Reincarnation Great Emperor. At the very least, in the hearts of many people, the Reincarnation Great Emperor was on an equal footing with Immortal Saint Wu Ji.
Jiang Changsheng was not angry with the arrogance in the Reincarnation Great Emperor’s heart. In any case, the Reincarnation Great Emperor was his believer. However, everyone had their own pursuits. The reason why the Reincarnation Great Emperor would reject him in advance was because he was afraid that he would embarrass him.
While waiting for the Dao seekers to wake up, Jiang Changsheng looked into the sky.
Not long ago, a powerful pressure came from the boundless world. It was the pressure that belonged to a Dao Intent Lord.
Jiang Changsheng guessed that there was a conflict within the Great Dao Divine Court or that Luo Dao and the Great Dao Devil Race were fighting.
Even so, he did not pay much attention to it, but recently, he felt uneasy and felt that something was about to happen to the boundless world.
Thinking about it carefully, he did not kill the lord of the Great Dao Divine Court, the 3,000 Dao Lord. Before it died, the 3,000 Dao Lord turned into 3,000 Great Daos and dispersed. From then on, the laws of the boundless world had undergone strange changes.
As for the specific changes, Jiang Changsheng could not see through it.
Suddenly!
Jiang Changsheng saw an endless stream of black figures flying out from the darkness in the depths of a certain domain in the boundless world. After they broke away from the darkness, they gradually revealed themselves. There were countless races, and they were originally soul bodies that gradually condensed. However, their bodies were suffused with a faint black light, making them look terrifying.
It was similar to a lonely soul of the Immortal Dao, but its aura was even stranger. He could not see through their karma, nor could he deduce their fate.
He did not attack and merely observed quietly.
Hundreds of years later, all the Dao seekers woke up in excitement. The Dao Ancestor’s sermon was extraordinary. Listening to his sermon for 10,000 was better than tens of millions of years of bitter cultivation. Every Dao seeker now had a clear goal and direction for their future cultivation.
Jiang Changsheng said, “The second calamity of the Heavenly Dao has ended. It’s time to choose the second Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint.”
As soon as he said that, practically everyone looked at the Reincarnation Great Emperor.
Other than him, no one else was qualified to become a Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint!
The Reincarnation Great Emperor was expressionless, making the mighty figures admire his calmness.
“Jiang Yi, are you willing to become the second Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint?”
As soon as Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked and revealed stunned expressions, including the disciples of Kunlun Dao, the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, and the others.
Jiang Yi was also in the hall. The sinners of the Jiang Clan were willing to follow Jiang Jian into battle, so Jiang Jian had sent those who were qualified to come to the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was not surprised and directly answered, “Yes!”
Even though the Dao seekers were shocked, they did not dare to refute. After all, the position of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint could only be determined by the Dao Ancestor.
Jiang Changsheng looked at everyone in the hall and said, “Jiang Yi does not have great merit. On the contrary, he has the greatest amount of karma in the Immortal Dao. By right, he should not be a Heavenly Dao Immortal Saint, but everyone, please take a look at Jiang Yi’s life.”
He raised his hand as well, and a vast will of the Great Dao enveloped everyone’s hearts.
