Chapter 1640
Recovery
Both sides were quite wary of each other, worried that the other might suddenly attack them and disrupt their own detachment.
So, in addition to being far apart, the two celestial beings were also asked to walk forward a distance to serve as the first line of defense.
Subsequently, Li Mingyao and Gou Chen began to transcend their limitations.
"I wonder if something bad will happen when two deities transcend at the same time," Qingxuan said with some worry.
"Wasn't Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo's detachment back then perfectly normal? There's no need to worry so much."
The Heavenly Eye appeared at that time because they sacrificed the original divine position, which almost caused chaos in the Yin and Yang of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
However, Li Mingyao, an earth god, and Gouchen, a star god, are completely inferior to Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo in terms of status and influence on heaven and earth, so they naturally have no such worries.
Qingcang comforted him, "Besides, since Mingyao dared to take action, he must have a good chance of succeeding."
During their conversation, Li Mingyao's transcendence had already begun!
First, he gave all his cultivation insights and experiences, as well as various spiritual items, to his family to settle his karmic debt with the Li family.
He then used up all the merits he had accumulated over the years, roughly offsetting 30% of his karmic debts.
Then, strip away all the divine positions and duties and return them to the Heavenly Way. In this way, the causal relationship is reduced by another 30%.
At this point, Li Mingyao still carries 40% of the karma on his shoulders!
Qingpeng and Qingxuan watched intently, eager to know how he would resolve the remaining cause and effect.
If it's not like Li Zhirui, who used the purification law to obtain a large amount of merit through special means, then they can also use it on themselves!
At the same time, they also devoted some attention to Gou Chen's process of transcendence.
Not only them, but now many celestial beings are focusing their attention on this world's membrane.
Unlike other beings, deities' transcendence can easily lead to extraordinary phenomena, making it almost impossible for them to leave silently.
Especially those ancient gods, who have lived for far too long and have deep ties with the primordial spirit realm, need to absorb various methods to transcend.
Gouchen's process of transcendence was nothing special; it was simply the most orthodox method of accumulating merit and offsetting karmic consequences.
This method, while entirely orthodox, is not suitable for all living beings.
The reason is simple: it is not easy to accumulate merit, and it is even more difficult to obtain a large amount of merit.
After all, not every living being has the means and methods to continuously accumulate merit.
So soon, Gou Chen lost everyone's attention and everyone turned to Li Mingyao.
And Li Mingyao did not disappoint everyone. He really did come up with a method that no living being had ever used before!
He merged his divine true form, a nearly ten-thousand-foot-long earth dragon, into the land of the Yuanling Realm!
In an instant, the earth radiated a mysterious yellow light, nourishing countless living beings and making the earth even more profound.
Most importantly, the foundation of the Yuanling Realm has been strengthened!
The next instant, a massive golden light of merit completely engulfed Li Mingyao.
But he did not absorb it; instead, he used it to settle his own karma.
When all the merits accumulated are used up, the karmic consequences are also washed away!
"This method seems to have something in common with how Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo sacrificed their physical bodies and original divine positions back then?"
Qingcang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he were comparing something, and then he said, "But Mingyao's method is more ingenious and causes less harm to himself."
To be honest, these two methods are actually the same, except that Li Mingyao modified or improved them.
The former is a direct offering to the Heavenly Dao, but the latter replenishes the origin of the world and is of great benefit to heaven and earth. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao must bestow merits and then use those merits to settle the karmic debts.
"This method is excellent!" Qingpeng nodded repeatedly.
Many of the onlookers were also intrigued, especially the great gods. Perhaps they could give it a try?
"Thank you, Ancestor Ling and all the Dharma Protectors!"
Li Mingyao did not appear as weak as Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had been, nor did he show any signs of nearly losing his cultivation level.
"Let's go."
Qingxuan didn't say much, but took a part of the Celestial Immortal Clan and left the Yuanling Realm with Li Mingyao, entering the void chaos, and quickly disappeared.
Qingpeng and Qingcang, along with another group of clansmen, turned around and returned to their family. It was impossible for all the Celestial Immortals to leave the Yuanling Realm with him to protect him; there was no need for that.
As for Gou Chen on the other side, he had already crossed the world's membrane long ago.
His condition was even better; his aura had not weakened at all, as if he had left the Yuanling Realm without paying any price.
This is the greatest benefit of using merit to offset karma; one's own strength will not be damaged in any way.
However, he was also accompanied by several people, and it was unclear what these deities were doing there.
On the same day, the high-level and low-level beings in the Yuanling Realm were concerned with completely different things!
The former were all trying to glean useful methods from the transcendence of Li Mingyao and Gouchen; while the latter only knew that the new emperor of the Heavenly Court had successfully broken through to the Xuanxian realm, and lamented that the Heavenly Dao was so biased towards the divine path.
Because within just one day, the photos of Yu Hong undergoing his tribulation spread.
The power of that lightning tribulation seemed to be only slightly stronger than the lightning tribulation they experienced when breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm! It was simply unbelievable.
This means that the Heavenly Dao not only did not strengthen the tribulations of the gods, but actually weakened them!
No wonder those lower-level beings reacted so fiercely, each one filled with rage.
Unfortunately, even though they are very dissatisfied and angry, they cannot change the situation, and it may even get worse.
"Ugh!"
One of the demonic cultivators sighed and said, "If things continue like this, we might as well join the divine path."
This statement, though seemingly casual, has indeed appeared in the minds of many living beings.
They cultivate diligently, trying every possible way to improve their strength, and striving to reach higher realms amidst near-death experiences. But the gods? They have absolutely no such worries.
Even when the great calamity of heaven and earth broke out, all living beings were caught up in it, except for the gods!
The high-ranking beings from all sides also realized this situation. If such ideas were allowed to spread among the low-ranking beings, it would inevitably cause a devastating blow to their foundations!
So they started trying to find ways to solve this problem.
But given the current situation, no matter how hard they try, they cannot completely solve the problem.
Because as the divine path grows stronger and gains more advantages, its attraction to lower-level beings will become increasingly terrifying!
……
the other side.
After leaving the Yuanling Realm, Qingxuan, Li Mingyao, and their group soon stopped in a relatively calm void.
"From now on, I will trouble you all to protect me," Li Mingyao said with a grateful expression.
Qingxuan assured him, "Focus on your cultivation. As long as it's not a chaotic storm or other disaster, you will be completely unaffected."
He didn't waste any more time with idle chatter, and immediately began to circulate his internal energy to restore his condition. After spending some time fully recovering, he began to use the technique.
The rich laws of the earth began to converge, and a piece of land appeared in the originally empty void. At the same time, it was like a huge black hole, frantically absorbing the chaotic spiritual energy in the vicinity.
The Chaos God-Demon Embryo that Li Mingyao transformed into was like a huge, dark yellow rock standing in that land, giving people a feeling of great weight and vastness.
Thump thump—
Immediately afterwards, a very powerful heartbeat resounded in the void.
"Do you know why Mingyao wants to cultivate this secret technique?" With nothing else to do, Qingxuan chatted with the younger generation.
Immediately, a member of the clan spoke up and replied, "Because the Chaos God-Demon Body is more suitable for survival in the void, and it has modified and improved its own aptitude, making it compatible with the laws it cultivates."
“That’s right. You should know that this secret technique was developed and created by Ninth Brother, who is also your ancestor Li Zhirui. It is a unique technique of the family.”
Qingxuan nodded, saying with pride and arrogance, "Even the ancient forces in the Yuanling Realm do not have a similar method."
"Before this, all the transcendent celestial beings in the family had refined the Chaos God-Demon Dao Body!"
"So when you are able to transcend this world one day, you must master this secret technique in advance, otherwise you may not be able to learn it in a hurry."
"Thank you for your teachings, Ancestor Ling. We will remember them forever!" the other celestial beings said in unison.
Although they knew that their family's secret technique was extremely powerful, they were still only at the early or mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm and were not yet qualified to exchange for or learn it, so their understanding was still relatively superficial.
However, now that they know the importance and power of this secret technique from Qingxuan, they will definitely put in the effort to understand and learn it carefully in the future.
"Furthermore, now that you have achieved the status of Celestial Immortals, you can agree to go on a journey to the void together for training. Although it is quite dangerous, it will be of great help to you."
Of course, if someone really doesn't want to, he won't say much; it's just a suggestion, not a mandatory requirement.
……
Time passed little by little, and before we knew it, more than a thousand years had gone by.
And Li Mingyao, who had been gestating in the Dao Embryo for so long, finally 'broke out of the shell'!
boom--
When he broke through the Dao Embryo and appeared before everyone, a powerful sense of oppression swept over them.
Li Mingyao's appearance has changed dramatically. He is no longer a human, but a strange creature with a human body and a snake's tail.
Of course, his divine and demonic form was considered very proper in the void; there were countless forms that were much stranger than his.
Then he made a move, fusing the fragments of the Dao Embryo with the small piece of soil below, and refining them into a Xuanhuang Treasure Seal.
And this can be considered Li Mingyao's innate spiritual treasure.
"Many thanks to Ancestor Ling and all the Dharma protectors over the years. Without you, I would not have had such a smooth journey."
After saying this, he bowed very solemnly to everyone.
During his cultivation, he was not completely unaware of the external environment; he could use his divine sense to know what was happening in the outside world.
Therefore, he knew clearly that during his years of seclusion, several chaotic beasts had appeared, trying to devour his Dao Embryo, but Qingxuan and the younger generation had driven them back each time, which is why he was not disturbed.
"This is my transcendence, and my experience and insights in cultivating the Divine Demon Body. It is the last bit of effort I can give for my family."
Because after this parting, they may never have the chance to meet again.
"Go forth, and may your future journey be smooth and unobstructed!"
Qingxuan accepted the jade slip and offered his sincere blessings.
"May the Great Dao be attained by our Ancestor!" the other celestial beings chimed in.
"I hope we'll have a chance to meet again."
After saying this, Li Mingyao transformed into a streak of rainbow light and disappeared into the depths of the void.
"Let's go, we should head back too."
Qingxuan did not linger in the void. After seeing the person off, he turned around and flew directly towards the Yuanling Realm.
On his way back, he couldn't help but wonder if he could also try to transcend it?
Watching one peer and junior after another transcend from the Yuanling Realm, his heart began to stir with desire.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Within the void of the Mysterious Immortal Rank.
Li Zhirui, being so far away, naturally couldn't possibly know about the series of events that had happened in his family.
After he parted ways with Yu Hong, Qing Si, and the others, his first reaction was to turn around and fly towards the direction of the chaotic storm.
Without those burdens, he could no longer suppress his true feelings.
He rushed all the way at top speed, but unfortunately, Li Zhirui was still a step too late!
The chaotic storm has dissipated, leaving only chaotic spiritual energy scattered all over the ground, making it impossible to tell where the eye of the storm was.
"I wonder what kind of treasure was at the eye of the storm back then."
But he didn't dwell on it; he quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared for the upcoming Xuanxian trials.
Normally, the days of emptiness are mostly mundane, dull, and boring!
But Li Zhirui was surprised to find that these words were gradually fading away from him.
For some unknown reason, he encountered two chaotic beasts within just a few days!
Unfortunately, he was no match for any of them and could only flee in a sorry state.
Fortunately, neither of the two ferocious beasts possessed intelligence, so they were easily shaken off.
"Could it be that some major upheaval is about to occur in the void again?"
Li Zhirui recalled the last time he frequently encountered chaotic beasts.
But this guess was soon confirmed.
It's not that something bad is going to happen to the void; it's just that he's simply unlucky! That's why he's prone to encountering chaotic beasts, and even beasts with higher cultivation levels than him.
Fortunately, his luck didn't stay that bad forever.
After a period of fighting and fleeing, Li Zhirui's luck finally returned to normal, and he was no longer unlucky enough to frequently encounter chaotic beasts. (End of Chapter)
