Chapter 1680
The Taoist Academy
With the protection of the purifying power, the Yin-Yang Millstone used by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo suppressed the primordial demonic energy in the middle, making it turn with some difficulty.
Squeak squeak—
A rather jarring grinding sound rang out, and then they saw the demonic energy begin to slowly dissipate, being absorbed by the Yin-Yang Millstone to strengthen itself.
During this process, they need to maintain the existence of the purifying power; otherwise, under the powerful assimilation and infection of the primordial demonic energy, the Yin-Yang Millstone they cast will soon become ineffective.
This is also a considerable test for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.
After all, neither of them was truly proficient in the purification laws, and the pressure of using them for an extended period of time was quite significant.
Especially since they were maintaining the supernatural Yin-Yang Great Millstone while using laws they were not familiar with, the consumption was exceptionally high.
As time goes by, the original demonic energy gradually dissipates, shrinking from its original size of three feet to about one foot now.
The brother and sister who were presiding over the purification ceremony grew increasingly pale, swaying precariously as if a strong gust of wind could blow them away.
But both Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo knew that they had reached a critical moment. If they gave up now, all their previous efforts would be in vain. So they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
"We can't give up! We're almost there! Once we get rid of this primordial demonic energy, we'll be one step closer to breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a Xuanxian!"
Li Chengshuo said these words not only to Li Chengsheng, but also to encourage himself.
"Just a little longer and you'll succeed!"
But the closer they got to the end, the greater the pressure they faced became, like a towering mountain pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.
Fortunately, the Yin-Yang Millstone had already absorbed enough power, so the two of them didn't need to spend too much energy maintaining it.
Otherwise, even if they risked their lives, they wouldn't have been able to maintain their supernatural powers while simultaneously applying the purification laws and persevering until now.
Rumbling--
Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Millstone erupted with a loud bang, as if stimulated by something, and began to spin faster, crushing the remaining demonic energy.
As the wisps of demonic energy dissipated, the primordial demonic energy began to shrink at a visible speed.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the primordial demonic energy that had been entrenched deep within the world completely disappeared!
"Whoosh! Whoosh—"
Seeing that the dust had settled, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo couldn't help but gasp for breath; they had truly reached their limit!
If they hadn't succeeded at the last moment, they would have had no choice but to give up and take the Yin-Yang Millstone for their own safety.
After all, what they are doing now is only to break through to the Xuanxian realm, and it would be too much of a loss to lose their lives for it.
Fortunately, it was ultimately successful.
"It was so dangerous, we almost failed," Li Chengshuo said, his face pale but with a look of relief.
"Yes."
Li Chengsheng, his face equally pale, sighed and said with lingering fear in his voice, "At the same time, we were a bit overconfident, thinking that with our strength, we could solve this problem that had once left all living beings in this world helpless."
But as it turns out, they were still a little short.
Fortunately, no accident occurred, otherwise I would have regretted it!
"Let's leave here first."
With the original demonic energy resolved, there were no other problems to be solved here. The two of them needed to go back and rest and recover.
As for what changes will occur in the Changming Realm during this period?
After the two of them painstakingly dealt with the primordial demonic energy, the Everlasting Realm began to slowly improve, and the signs were quite obvious. For example, on the originally cracked and desolate land, specks of green slowly began to grow.
Therefore, the Changming Realm doesn't actually require the two of them to worry about it as much as before; it can be allowed to recover slowly over time.
Therefore, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo turned around and left this place, transforming back into the two great stars, the Sun and the Moon, hanging in the sky.
The changes in the Everlasting Realm were also witnessed by the few remaining creatures of this realm.
"The wind is picking up!"
Feeling the strong winds they hadn't experienced in so long, a certain creature was suddenly moved to tears.
"It's not just going to be windy, it looks like it might rain too!"
"Great! That's wonderful! Things that should exist in the normal world are starting to reappear, which means that the Everlasting Realm is recovering."
Almost all living beings wore genuine smiles, knowing that once the world recovered, they would no longer have to live in fear of misfortune.
Moreover, the paths they had severed will reappear.
Perhaps after this great ordeal, their future paths will be much smoother.
Meanwhile, many living beings, in order to express their gratitude, sincerely worshipped Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.
The brother and sister, who were in seclusion to recover, also felt a power surging into their bodies from the darkness. However, when they realized that this was the power of faith, they did not hesitate to expel it from their bodies, not wanting to have any connection with it.
They are no longer gods, so naturally they don't want to be associated with the power of faith.
Moreover, it's not a good thing, especially for the two of them.
However, since this is a special kind of energy, they carefully stored it away with spiritual objects, intending to see if it could be used in the future.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
After a period of rest, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo have finally recovered, and compared to before, they look more energetic and have a more harmonious aura.
The worry that had been etched on his brow from the lack of breakthroughs for so long had vanished, leaving only a sense of ease.
When the two emerged from seclusion, they keenly sensed that the world of Changming Realm had undergone significant changes.
The once lifeless world has now quietly shown a glimmer of life. Although it is still very weak, as long as it continues to develop and grow, it may well be able to change the whole world!
"It seems our method is quite effective," Li Chengshuo said with a smile, somewhat pleased with himself.
She could almost see herself and her elder brother joining forces to save the world, thereby breaking through the bottleneck and achieving the Xuanxian realm.
"Yes!"
Li Chengsheng nodded, then said, "But this is just the beginning. What we need to do next will be much more complicated and difficult."
Because what they are about to do is to help deduce and improve the laws that the Changming Realm lacks.
This is a massive, complex, and arduous project! It definitely cannot be completed in a short time.
Fortunately, the two of them were prepared for it to take a lot of time.
As long as we can break through the bottleneck, it's worth spending any amount of time!
"Then let's hurry up and start now!" Li Chengshuo said impatiently.
“Alright.” Both brother and sister were decisive people. After making up their minds, they returned to the Sun and Moon stars respectively, and then their divine senses sank into the Sea of Laws to help the Heavenly Dao deduce the laws.
It should be understood that the Sea of Laws is the most core and important part of the Heavenly Dao, and living beings are not allowed to enter it easily.
But now, these two extraterrestrial beings arrived with ease, and because of the power of the world, they can stay here for a long time without worrying about being expelled.
Of course, there is another reason for this: there are no laws in the Sea of Laws right now, or if there are, they are very incomplete, so they will not be affected.
The brother and sister wasted no time and immediately devoted themselves to deducing the laws, hoping to finish as soon as possible, leave this world, and try to break through to the Profound Immortal Realm.
During this process, the Sun and Moon will become increasingly powerful, and their light will become increasingly dazzling.
……
In a corner of the void.
"Quite some time has passed; those two cultivators should have turned to ashes by now, right?" a voice suddenly rang out.
This man was saved by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo. He thought that Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo would die in the Changming Realm because of the extreme chaos and danger inside.
After all, when he first discovered the Everlasting Realm and secretly infiltrated it, it coincided with the Demon Clan's invasion, which sparked the most intense and brutal war.
From then on, he mistakenly believed that the Everlasting Realm was a very dangerous world!
Therefore, he dared not linger for long and, without figuring out the reason, hurriedly fled with the two spiritual objects.
Not long after, they bumped into the two demonic beasts in the void and were rescued by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, thus obtaining the coordinates of the Changming Realm.
No one could have imagined that the brother and sister would break through their bottleneck and potentially advance further, reaching the Xuanxian realm, by taking advantage of this broken world.
This thwarted the man's plan to repay kindness with enmity, and not only was his life spared, he also gained a great deal of merit.
……
the other side.
In some corner of the universe, a demon god as huge as a mountain and with an aura as deep as an abyss suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the Changming Realm.
"Someone has dealt with the wisp of primordial demonic energy I left behind!"
The demon god's face was extremely grim, and he said in a deep voice, "How could a world destined for destruction suddenly see a turning point?"
The reason he left behind a wisp of primordial demonic energy in a world on the verge of destruction was to squeeze out the last bit of resources, even if it could only extend his path by a tiny bit.
But now, someone has ruined his plan!
It's like snatching food from a tiger's mouth; how could it not anger Him?
"But it's alright this way..."
The demon god revealed a sinister smile and murmured softly, "There's no need to bother searching for other great worlds anymore."
But in the next instant, before he could do anything, a flash of inspiration appeared, directly erasing the location coordinates of the Changming Realm that he had mastered.
"How is that possible!"
Even a demon god couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this.
He is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he is in the world he created. Who could make a move right under his nose without him noticing?
Even if a Grand Luo Golden Immortal were to make a move, he could still discern some clues.
Unless it's a Dao Venerable or the Great Dao itself, would such beings even bother with a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal like him?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He dared not delve any further into it, so he slowly closed his eyes again and manipulated countless divine consciousness clones to wander in the void, searching for higher-level Great Thousand Worlds.
No longer dwelling on the Eternal Bright Realm and the demon god who had once sent a large number of people to invade various worlds, they returned to silence.
……
Talking two ends.
In an inn in a certain immortal city in the Myriad Realms.
"I've finally regained some of my strength!"
Li Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, looking energetic and showing no signs of having just emerged from the secret realm.
At the same time, he doesn't need to worry too much about his own safety.
After recovering, he did not stay at the inn, but planned to explore the immortal city.
Upon stepping outside, I discovered that the Immortal City had become extremely lively, as if some grand event or ceremony was about to take place.
A glint of light flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes, and then he headed towards the restaurant, which was the best place to gather information.
He had barely sat down when he heard a conversation nearby.
"Have you heard? It's said that a powerful Golden Immortal from the Qingjing Sect will be coming here to establish a Taoist temple!"
The so-called Taoist academy can be seen as a place for the Pure Land sect to train and select disciples.
But most importantly, the threshold for entering the Taoist academy is very low!
However, it is quite difficult to truly join the Pure Land School from a Taoist temple.
"real or fake?"
"That's unlikely. Tian Shi Immortal City isn't a great immortal city. Under the rule of the Qingjing Sect, it's just so-so. Why would they set up a Daoist academy here?"
A chorus of doubts immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.
"Hmph? Don't believe me? Then tell me, why have so many cultivators suddenly appeared in the Immortal City recently, and why are most of them from cultivation families, or accompanied by children?" The man sneered and asked in return.
After he said that, everyone suddenly realized that it seemed to be true!
"So, the Pure Land Sect is really going to build a Taoist temple in Tianshi Immortal City?"
Among the crowd, many cultivators were quite excited, because if their offspring could successfully enter the Dao Academy, they didn't expect them to become true disciples of the Pure Land School, but at least they could learn real knowledge from it and go further on their cultivation path in the future.
After listening to this, Li Zhirui frowned slightly, feeling surprised. Although he had never heard of the Dao Academy system before, he had just learned about it.
For the Pure Land school, this means that it serves as a basic education and selection institution, and perhaps also has the responsibility of guarding and protecting the local area.
But for such a basic and low-level organization, the Qingjing Sect actually sent a Golden Immortal.
There must be some unknown secret behind this!
A glint flashed in Li Zhirui's lowered eyes; he vaguely sensed that something was hidden within them.
However, there is no other information available at the moment, and we cannot even speculate.
"As everyone knows, before the academy was built, the dean would give public lectures for three days, which is why a large number of cultivators flocked to the Immortal City."
Meanwhile, the cultivator was also talking about establishing a Dao Academy in the Immortal City. (End of Chapter)
