Chapter 86 I Am the Only One

"Great! Great! Heaven has eyes, heaven is helping me!" Long-eared Dingguang Xian laughed heartily, completely different from his previous sickly and dying appearance.

How could he not be well? With the earth's milk, although it's difficult for Chang Er Ding Guang Xian to cultivate, recovering from injuries is no problem. He's not just waiting to die.

However, mental illness is hard to cure. He thought about it day and night, was in unbearable pain, and in the end, he tormented himself and became this grotesque person.

Upon hearing that Guang Chengzi had suffered a great calamity, he was laughing so hard his teeth almost popped out. If he hadn't still retained some rationality, he probably would have rushed straight to the Eight Views Palace and crushed Guang Chengzi to death!

Jin Guangxian was overjoyed. His hatred was no less than that of Chang Er Dingguang Xian. Now that he heard that his great revenge had been achieved, he was naturally all smiles.

On the contrary, Wu Yunxian was more composed. After hearing this, he remained calm instead of displeased and asked, "Junior Brother Jiuguangxian, did you witness this with your own eyes? Or is it just a rumor, passed down by word of mouth?"

It wasn't that he was paranoid, but rather that the disciples of Shangqing really did enjoy making such jokes.

It's unclear when it started, but there have been rumors that there's a patch of waste pills that Lao Tzu casually left out near the Eight Views Palace. Whenever Lao Tzu refines a waste pill, he just throws it into this patch of waste pills.

What Laozi considered worthless pills were, for these low-level immortals, supreme pills that were hard to come by and impossible to obtain. Eating just a couple of pill dregs was enough to make their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

So naturally, they all hid in Taiqing Peak day and night, searching everywhere, trying to find this abandoned alchemy site.

In the end, even the Seven Immortals who served as attendants were alarmed. They were all quite tempted and also searched around Taiqing Peak, but they couldn't find even a single piece of dregs of the medicine.

It wasn't until Wu Yunxian sensed something was wrong that she began to investigate further, starting with the person who first mentioned the abandoned elixir site and tracing back down one by one. Only then did she realize that it was just a joke that the two of them had casually discussed.

It turns out that two Shangqing Immortals were hosting a banquet for their fellow disciples and friends. They inadvertently mentioned that Taiqing Peak was so tall that there might be a few pills left behind by Laozi somewhere there.

It was just a joke, after all. What kind of business is it if I don't take the pills I refine to the palace and just leave them in the mountains? Do you expect me to take care of wild animals and use them to support orphans and widows?

The result was that the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Originally, it was said that there were pills left by Lao Tzu on Taiqing Peak, but later it became that there were Nine-Turn Golden Pills left by Lao Tzu, and that eating them would turn one into a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In the end, it became even more outrageous. He said that Lao Tzu's alchemy treasury was just sitting there, waiting for someone with the right destiny to come and get it. It was simply ridiculous.

Later, similar rumors continued to circulate, either claiming that a second ginseng fruit tree had been born in Kunlun Mountain, but it was actually just a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, or that the Renshui peach tree had revealed its whereabouts, but it was actually just a spirit peach.

In the end, Wuyunxian became indifferent to these rumors. If it weren't for Guangchengzi's involvement, he wouldn't have bothered listening to Jiuguangxian's nonsense.

After all, he was a notorious big mouth. The rumors about the Danku and the Renshui Peach Tree were basically spread by him before they became known to the public.

Wu Yunxian strongly suspected that Guang Chengzi might have returned with his two senior uncles, Jieyin and Zhunti, only to be rumored to have died from serious injuries. If that were the case, he would really have to consider whether to take back that ginseng fruit flower.

When Wuyun Xian didn't believe him, Jiuguang Xian panicked and hurriedly explained that he had seen it with his own eyes. But the more he talked, the more the others looked at him strangely. Even Changer Dingguang Xian and Jinguang Xian stopped laughing and instead looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

Once a reputation is ruined, it's difficult to reverse it.

Jiuguangxian was almost in tears upon seeing this. He admitted that he had indeed spread many rumors in the past, but this time he was not making things up; he had truly seen it with his own eyes!

But just like how mud falling into your pants proves it's not poop, Jiuguangxian can't prove it no matter what he says. He can't just take it out and let others smell it, can he?

Just as Wu Yunxian was pondering how to retrieve the ginseng fruit flower, a majestic and solemn voice resounded within the cave.

"Junior Brother Jiuguangxian was not lying. Guangchengzi did indeed suffer a great injury and is now in a state of annihilation. If he cannot recover, he will probably really die."

The voice came abruptly, and its owner arrived at Seven Immortals Peak without prior notice. Logically, this was a great offense, and even if the Seven Immortals were not enraged, they should have captured the person alive.

However, upon hearing this voice, the seven attendant immortals and the nine radiant immortals all wore expressions of joy, immediately bowing deeply and respectfully saying, "Junior brother greets senior brother!"

As their words fell, a cultivator with disheveled hair and wearing a crane-patterned robe suddenly appeared. He showed no aura whatsoever, as if he had appeared out of thin air, and did not disturb the omnipresent array restrictions. This was enough to show his terrifying cultivation and supernatural powers, as well as his extremely powerful understanding of array formations.

And the only person who could command such respect from all of them, besides Duobao, was none other than the eldest brother.

Duobao nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Fellow disciples, please rise. There is no need for such a grand gesture."

That's what he said, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on Duobao's lips, showing that he actually quite liked this kind of etiquette.

Since Duobao had already said so, they naturally wouldn't continue with the grand ceremony, but they immediately took out an extremely luxurious gemstone pedestal and respectfully invited Duobao to sit on it.

Although Duobao kept waving his hand, saying that this was against etiquette, his buttocks were very honest, and he sat down directly and steadily on it.

Seeing his eight junior brothers bowing down at his feet, Duobao felt a surge of satisfaction. His understanding of the Dao of Self-Support deepened, and his understanding of the Great Luo became even stronger.

Indeed, Duobao has been studying the Great Luo Dao for many years, and the Great Dao he has comprehended is none other than the Dao of Self-Exaltation.

The so-called "I am the only one who is supreme" means that there are no gods other than myself. I am the only true god, and all others are false gods or pseudo-gods. All living beings should worship me, and all false gods should submit to me.

This path originated from the Emperor's Path and the Holy Virtue Path, encompassing the supreme authority of the Emperor and the majestic majesty of the Holy Emperor. However, it lacks the Emperor's sense of responsibility and the Holy Emperor's duty to bear the burdens of all living beings, making it a path that has gone to extremes.

It is equivalent to being born from the extremes of Yin and Yang, taking an unorthodox approach. As for whether it will ultimately lead to a path to heaven or plunge one into the abyss, no one knows and no one can hear.
