Chapter 753: Raised in the Purple Cloud Palace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the Overlord Ancestor introduced the Great Unity Technique, he began to preach the Dao. As soon as his Dao voice sounded, Jiang Changsheng knew that there was still a huge gap between him and the Overlord Ancestor.
Even such a powerful Overlord Ancestor had fallen in front of the will of the Great Dao. Jiang Changsheng still had to work hard.
He wondered if he, who had surpassed the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, could compare to the Overlord Ancestor after the Primordial Great Dao was formed.
Gradually, Jiang Changsheng was immersed in the Dao voice of the Overlord Ancestor and forgot about external things.
The Great Unity Technique was vast and profound. Even with his strength as a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he could not completely study it. He felt that it was even more profound than the Great Heaven Stealing Technique.
No one knew how long had passed.
After the Overlord Ancestor finished his sermon, the seventeen Dao Ancestors slowly opened their eyes. Some were puzzled, some were surprised, and some were worried.
Learning such a divine technique would certainly lead to unimaginable karma. For them, this was not a good thing.
In particular, some Dao Ancestors from the future knew the fate of the Overlord Ancestor. Therefore, they were even more afraid and worried about the Great Unity Technique.
The old Daoist suspected to be Dao Ancestor Xuanmiao said, “Overlord Ancestor, do you think this technique can combine the 3000 Great Daos into one? After that, will the will of the Great Dao resist?”
The Overlord Ancestor answered, “Then it will all depend on your own luck. Returning to one is not only a form of condensation, but also a form of control. What I am pursuing is what you want to know.”
Jiang Jiu asked, “Can the Great Unity Technique be inherited? For example, if we work hard together, even if we fail, we can leave our hopes to the next Dao Ancestor.”
Jiang Changsheng glanced at Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu was also a Dao Ancestor, so the future would become mysterious.
He was still in the future. How could he choose the next Dao Ancestor?
Perhaps the future of Jiang Jiu was farther than he had imagined.
If Jiang Jiu was the Dao Ancestor, it would not be good news for Jiang Changsheng.
“I can’t do it, but if the younger generation can do it, it will be a good thing. You’ve also reminded me. Let’s make an agreement. If we are powerless to reverse the situation, we will use the Great Unity Technique to condense the inheritance of our respective Immortal Dao and pass it on to the next generation. If we cannot accomplish it in our era, we can also accumulate strength for the next generation. One day, we will succeed.”
As the Overlord Ancestor spoke, he looked at Jiang Jiu with admiration.
The other Dao Ancestors expressed their agreement. To be able to reach their level, they attached great importance to the inheritance of the Immortal Dao. It was even more important than their lives. At least on the surface.
Jiang Changsheng did not have such a mentality.
His first thought was not about inheritance, but how to survive.
He founded the Immortal Dao because it allowed him to live. He was responsible and righteous about it, but everything had to be based on his survival.
No matter how strong he became, he would never forget his original intentions.
If he were to pin his hopes on the next generation, it would mean giving up on himself or not trusting himself.
Jiang Changsheng felt that the Great Unity Technique could be one of his methods, but it could not be his reliance.
The Dao Ancestors discussed among themselves, but Jiang Changsheng remained silent.
After a long time.
The Overlord Ancestor said, “Everyone, due to fate, there should be a farewell. Let’s leave it at that.”
He immediately waved his sleeve and the space instantly shattered.
However, just as the torrent of time and space was about to drown Jiang Changsheng’s vision, he saw Jiang Jiu rushing towards him. He seemed to want to say something, but it was too late.
Jiang Changsheng panicked. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.
He did not get up. Instead, he recalled his previous sermon and sorted out his understanding of the Great Unity Technique.
Turning everything into one seemed powerful, but Jiang Changsheng felt that this was not the way out.
Generally speaking, it was a sealing technique, but it could not erase the existence he wanted to erase.
In the face of the will of the Great Dao making things difficult for him, Jiang Changsheng must have the ability to destroy it.
If he had the ability, he could leave behind the will of the Great Dao if he had good intentions. However, the premise was that Jiang Changsheng could control the will of the Great Dao.
Jiang Changsheng could not grasp what the enemy was thinking. What he wanted to do was to give himself the strength to control everything.
“Great Heaven Stealing Technique, Great Unity Technique… It seems like I still have a long way to go. I can’t just create a Great Dao. I have to create my own methods.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
The Great Heaven Stealing Technique was to steal karma and hide from the will of the Great Dao!
The Great Unity Technique was to seal the Great Dao!
Both of them were created under the impression that they could not do anything to the will of the Great Dao. Jiang Changsheng wanted to create a divine power that could defeat the will of the Great Dao.
He began to meditate and think quietly.
As for Jiang Jiu, he had thrown him to the back of his mind. If he believed in the future he saw, it might become a barrier in his heart. If he did not believe in it, then everything was uncertain!
As time passed, the influence of the Dao Ancestor’s sermon lasted for a long time. All those who listened to the Dao began to do meritorious deeds in the Immortal Dao. Some gave sermons, some founded sects, others tried to enlighten creatures. All of this had imperceptibly consolidated the prestige of the Dao Ancestor because they felt that they were his disciples. From time to time, the name of the Dao Ancestor would be mentioned.
In the following years, all sorts of terrifying legends about Dao Ghosts were spread to the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. The major sects began to study how to eliminate Dao Ghosts.
Dao Ghosts were a calamity that swept through the boundless world. The Immortal Dao was at its peak and was not too affected. At the very least, Dao Ghosts could not enter the range of the luck of the Immortal Dao.
Time flew by like a shuttle.
500,000 years passed.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of frustration.
As expected, he had wasted 500,000 years without any thoughts.
It was too difficult to create a divine power comparable to the Great Unity Technique, let alone surpass it.
Perhaps his cultivation was insufficient, but Jiang Changsheng was not stubborn. He raised his right hand, took out the Pangu Fruits, and began to refine them into Pangu clones.
The Pangu clones were also one of his trump cards. He could refine Pangu clones whenever he had the time. Right now, he had more than 3000 Pangu clones, which was also a very powerful force. If he summoned the Pangu phantom, it was very likely that it would be stronger than him.
It had been a long time since Jiang Changsheng summoned the Pangu phantom, but in his heart, the Pangu phantom was still his trump card for a battle of life and death.
During the process of refining the Pangu clones, Jiang Changsheng suddenly wondered about Pangu’s identity.
After using the orthodoxy revival function, he only saw seventeen Dao Ancestors, but Pangu was not among them. The current Immortal Dao also did not have the legend of Pangu. Some ancient mythical figures in his previous life’s memories had already begun to appear. He did not know where Pangu’s legend came from.
Jiang Changsheng thought as he controlled his magic power.
Decades later.
A golden light pierced through the 33rd Heaven. Even though it did not alarm the Purple Cloud Palace, Jiang Changsheng and Mu Lingluo could sense it.
Mu Lingluo smiled and said, “It seems like another extraordinary prodigy has been born in the Immortal Dao. From now on, the division of prodigies will begin again.”
After every calamity ended, many extremely talented prodigies would be born. It was the same after this calamity, even more so than the first time.
This was not the first time the golden light of the Heavenly Dao had illuminated the 33rd Heaven.
Those who could attract the golden light of the Heavenly Dao were all born with great luck. The moment they were born, they stood at the end of the road that was beyond the reach of all beings.
Jiang Changsheng said, “It’s indeed not bad.”
Even though he said that, he did not care. The Immortal Dao was powerful enough, and he was too lazy to nurture his juniors.
Unless someone was born as a Zenith Heaven Immortal.
However, could such talent really be born?
When Jiang Changsheng thought of this, he could not help but smile.
Half a day later.
When Bai Qi returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, she quickly walked to Jiang Changsheng’s side and said, “Master, that commotion was caused by a demon named Kong Que. Kong Que was born from the aura of heaven and earth condensed by the luck of the Heavenly Dao. He has no parents and is an Immortal Emperor the moment he was born. Right now, the sects are fighting over him and are about to take action.”
Jiang Changsheng’s expression was calm as he said, “I don’t want to accept him.”
Bai Qi chuckled and said, “Then how about letting me take him?”
“If you want to take him, then take him.”
“But Kunlun Dao, the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, and Wu Ji are all there. It’s not easy for me to snatch him from them.”
Even Heavenly Dao Saints were participating in the fight. From this, it could be seen how outstanding Kong Que was.
However, Kunlun Dao, the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, and Wu Ji had similar statuses, so the situation was in a deadlock. Even though Bai Qi was the Saint Mother of Fortune, it was very difficult to obtain the strongest talent in the Immortal Dao from these three people. Therefore, she could only ask Jiang Changsheng for help.
Jiang Changsheng shot her a glance.
Bai Qi hastily lowered her head as her heartbeat sped up.
Jiang Changsheng wanted to refuse, but on second thought, with the end of the second calamity, Bai Qi’s merit was no longer something unique. As more and more mighty figures rose, her position was also threatened. The Saint Mothers under her could not support her.
In the end, he was still one of her people, so he had to take care of her. Furthermore, Bai Qi’s contribution could not be measured by merit.
“In my name, bring him to the Purple Cloud Palace. From now on, he will be your adopted son.”
Jiang Changsheng said. Bai Qi was pleasantly surprised by his words and immediately went down.
Mu Lingluo shook her head and laughed. She was also curious about Kong Que. With Jiang Changsheng’s words, she believed that Kong Que would shock the entire Immortal Dao in the future.
There was no suspense in what happened next. When Bai Qi revealed the name of the Dao Ancestor, Kunlun Dao and the others gave up their newborn Kong Que one after another. As a result, Kong Que’s reputation soared.
Throughout history, who could be brought to the Purple Cloud Palace the moment they were born?
The cultivators who heard about this had the same thoughts as Mu Lingluo.
Kong Que would shake the Immortal Dao sooner or later!
He might even become the next Heavenly Dao Saint!
Bai Qi returned to the Purple Cloud Palace with a boy in her arms. Even though he was a newborn, the phantom of a peacock appeared on his body. The peacock wrapped its wings around him as if to protect him.
“Master, take a look?”
Bai Qi came to Jiang Changsheng’s side and asked with a smile.
She liked Kong Que the moment she saw him.
Jiang Changsheng merely glanced at him and asked, “Where do you want to raise him?”
When Bai Qi heard that, her eyes darted around as she whispered, “Can we raise him in the Purple Cloud Palace first and let him leave when he grows up?”
She felt uneasy when she said that. After all, this was treatment that none of the descendants of the Jiang Clan had received.
“Um.”
Jiang Changsheng responded, making Bai Qi overjoyed. She looked as if she wished she could immediately pounce into Jiang Changsheng’s arms.
Just like that, Kong Que stayed in the Purple Cloud Palace and stayed by the Dao Ancestor’s side.
Kong Que’s growth cycle was slower than that of ordinary people. Ten thousand years was equivalent to a year for him. However, the growth of his blood essence was extraordinary.
