Chapter 1324
The Thunder Tribulation Dao Ancestor Opens the Altar to Preach, and the Entire Star Sea
soon.
Whether it's a large sect rooted in the center of the star sea, a small or medium-sized family hidden in a remote star field, or a wandering cultivator.
They all received news that the Thunder Tribulation Dao Ancestor was giving a sermon.
In an instant, the entire Star Sea cultivation world was plunged into an unprecedented uproar.
Zixia Sect.
Inside the council hall, the sect leader and all the elders gathered together, their expressions filled with barely concealed excitement and solemnity.
The Zixia Sect is a second-rate sect in the Star Sea cultivation world, but its foundation is still decent.
However, without a powerful expert at the Nascent Soul Realm or above to oversee it, it has always been unable to hold its head high in front of major sects.
Now that people have heard that Thunder Tribulation Dao Ancestor Ye Yang is going to hold a sermon and that there are no restrictions on sect or background, as long as one meets the requirements, they can go, many people are shocked.
"Sect Master, this is an incredible opportunity!"
An elder dressed in purple robes suddenly stood up, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Dao Ancestor Ye is a powerful being at the Tribulation Realm. His understanding of the Dao far surpasses that of us cultivators who are stuck at the Dharma Aspect and Nascent Soul Realms. If we could personally listen to Dao Ancestor Ye preach the Dao, even if we only grasped the basics, our Zixia Sect would have the potential to produce a Nascent Soul Realm expert!"
The sect leader stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming, and slowly nodded.
“I am naturally aware of this. However, the Dao Ancestor said that only those whose ancestors or themselves have fought for the cultivation world of the Star Sea and have not committed any evil deeds that angered the heavens or the people are allowed to come and listen to the Dao.”
"Although our Zixia Sect has not committed any major offenses, we have never had any earth-shattering military achievements. We still need to make careful preparations for this matter."
"Sect Master, rest assured!"
Another elder stepped forward, bowed, and said.
"I will now take stock of the sect's inventory, organize all the accumulated healing pills and cultivation resources, and select the thirty disciples with the best aptitude and the strongest will in the sect, along with five elders, to go to the Flying Heaven Sect together."
"Furthermore, I will immediately dispatch people to prepare congratulatory gifts overnight, to ensure that we, the Zixia Sect, show our sincerity. We only hope to obtain the qualification to listen to the Dao and live up to the Dao Ancestor's grace!"
Similar scenes are constantly unfolding across Xinghai.
The Dong family of Gaoling.
A medium-sized cultivation family rooted in the Blackstone Domain.
Upon learning the news, clan chief Dong Tianxiong immediately summoned all clan members for an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, Master Ye is giving a sermon. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for our family!"
"Since the Star Sea Realm was opened up, my Dong family has lived here for generations, passing down for eight generations, for more than four hundred years."
"However, the reason we haven't been able to break through the bottleneck is because we haven't had the guidance of a high-level cultivator. Now that the Dao Ancestor has bestowed this opportunity upon us, we must seize it no matter what!"
"Patriarch, our family has never fought for the Star Sea before. What should we do?"
One of the tribesmen looked troubled and asked in a low voice.
A resolute glint flashed in Dong Tianxiong's eyes.
"It's alright. The Dao Ancestor is merciful, valuing intention and aptitude above all else. From this day forward, all family resources will be directed toward the younger generation. Ten of the most promising disciples will be selected to cultivate diligently day and night, honing their Dao hearts. In addition, the family's treasured Xuan Iron Refined Gold, stored for a hundred years, will be used to kneel before the Dao Ancestor at the Flying Heaven Gate and beg for the qualification to listen to the Dao."
"If we succeed this time, we will not hesitate to kneel at the foot of Feitianmen Mountain for three months and three nights!"
Western Regions, Flaming Mountain.
The crater is a deep red, with lava churning inside.
The main hall of the Blazing Flame Sect is built on the summit of a volcano, where the sect leader, True Person Blazing Sun, is currently in seclusion for cultivation.
Upon hearing his disciple's report, he suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with firelight.
"Master Ye is going to preach? Great! Excellent!"
Master Lieyang laughed three times.
"I have been stuck at the late stage of the Dharma Aspect realm for a hundred years, struggling to break through. If I could listen to Daoist Master Ye's teachings now, perhaps I could find a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough!"
"Guards, quickly retrieve three pieces of Fiery Divine Iron and one hundred Crimson Flame Spirit Stones from the treasure vault, and follow me to the Flying Heaven Gate!"
-
Southern Wilderness, Poisonous Miasma Forest.
This place is filled with miasma and teeming with poisonous insects, so ordinary cultivators dare not venture deep into it.
But deep within the miasma forest lies a mysterious sect—the Poison-Slaying Sect.
The leader of the Poison-Slaying Sect was an old woman with a full head of silver hair. At this moment, she was sitting on a bamboo chair, playing with a seven-colored poisonous scorpion in her hand.
"Hehehe... Master Ye is giving a sermon?"
The old woman chuckled dryly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"I have lived for over six hundred years and have never heard the Thunder Tribulation Dao Ancestor preach before."
"Although I am not a righteous person, my ancestors fought and died on the battlefield to defend the Star Sea Realm against foreign enemies. I should still be qualified to say that, right?"
She stood up and clapped her hands.
"Go, dig up that three-thousand-year-old Poison Dragon Grass inside the gate, and come with me to the Flying Heaven Gate!"
Besides these major sects, countless small and medium-sized sects, aristocratic families, and independent cultivators have also taken action.
Some people spend their entire fortune to buy congratulatory gifts.
Some people sold their ancestral property just so they could go to the Flying Heaven Gate to hear the Dao.
Some independent cultivators even traveled together, supporting each other, all in order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The entire cultivation world was thrown into an unprecedented storm because of Ye Daozu's words.
The Flying Gate became a sacred place in everyone's hearts.
The unaffiliated cultivators were in an uproar.
Countless independent cultivators packed their bags and traveled day and night towards the Flying Heaven Sect. Most of these people were of mediocre talent, without the protection of a sect or the support of resources, making their path of cultivation extremely difficult.
Now that I have the opportunity to listen to the Dao Ancestor of Thunder Tribulation preach, I would not want to miss it, even if it is just to watch from afar.
Some people are even willing to spend their entire life savings.
He exchanged a pill that could temporarily enhance his spiritual power and stabilize his Dao heart, just so that he could comprehend a little more of the Dao's essence when listening to the Dao.
In an instant, the Star Sea Realm was in turmoil.
Countless flying boats, spirit birds, and streaks of light converged from all directions, their target the Flying Gate.
Outside the Flying Heaven Gate.
The disciples were all in high spirits and looked proud.
They were all dressed in uniform blue Taoist robes, with jade belts around their waists, moving back and forth between the mountain gates to prevent any unexpected problems from arising during such a grand gathering.
"Hurry up and deliver these spiritual herbs to the Pill Hall. The Dao Ancestor's Dao Lecture Conference is imminent, and the Pill Hall needs to refine a large number of pills to heal injuries and stabilize the Dao heart for the fellow Daoists who come to listen to the Dao!"
An inner disciple dressed in a blue Taoist robe gave a loud order.
Several outer disciples quickly responded, carefully carrying the jade basket full of spiritual herbs, and hurried towards the Pill Hall.
"The Dao Ancestor is not only highly skilled, but also cares about the world. This time, he opened the altar to preach the Dao in order to cultivate more strong people and prosper our cultivation world."
"It is our blessing to be able to follow such a Dao Ancestor."
Meanwhile, the Li family mansion on the edge of the Star Sea was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the bustling activity of the Flying Heaven Gate.
Li Cangxuan sat upright in his secluded meditation chamber, clutching a jade bottle tightly in his hand.
Inside the jade bottle, yang energy flickered and thunderous energy filled the air; it was the Thunder Yang Pill that the Li family had obtained from the Flying Heaven Sect.
The aroma of the elixir wafted faintly through the jade bottle.
It carried a pure and domineering power of thunder and fire, causing the spiritual energy within the secret chamber to become restless.
"Ancestor, are you really going to take the precious pill now?" Li Qing's worried voice came from outside the secret chamber.
These days, he has been waiting outside the secret room, feeling both expectant and apprehensive.
He hoped that his ancestor could achieve a breakthrough and lead the Li family to glory.
However, they were also worried that the ancestor was old and his lifespan was exhausted, and that forcibly breaking through would endanger his life.
Li Cangxuan took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and a resolute look flashed in them.
He is 673 years old this year, with less than ten years left to live. His vitality has long been exhausted, and his blood and qi have become extremely weak.
If this continues, even with the Thunder Yang Elixir, there will be no way to reverse the situation.
Not long ago, news came from the family.
It is said that Elder Wang Dong of the Flying Heaven Sect has successfully broken through to the Yuan Shen Dao Realm.
If that junior could successfully break through, why can't he?
For the sake of the Li family's future, and for the sake of his lifelong obsession, he had to take a gamble.
"Qing'er, there's no need for further words. My mind is made up."
Li Cangxuan's voice came from inside the secret room, slightly hoarse.
"If I succeed in breaking through, the Li family will have a Nascent Soul Dao Realm expert, and in the future I will be able to participate in Dao Ancestor Ye's lectures and obtain more opportunities."
"If we fail... you will take over as the clan leader and manage the Li family well. You must be loyal to the Flying Heaven Sect and never have any other thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Your grandson obeys! Ancestor, you must succeed! The Li family cannot do without you!"
Inside the secret chamber, Li Cangxuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of relief flashing in them.
He unscrewed the stopper of the jade bottle, and a pill that was entirely crimson and had golden lightning patterns wrapped around its surface slowly flew out.
The pill exudes a powerful force of thunder and fire, along with a rich vitality, which is the essence of the Thunder Yang Treasure Pill.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Cangxuan opened his mouth and swallowed the Thunder Yang Pill.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, a violent and pure power of thunder and fire exploded within his body, like a dormant volcano awakening, sweeping through his limbs and bones.
At the same time, a rich life force also spread out.
He attempted to restore his depleted vitality and weakened blood and energy.
"Such a potent medicine!"
Li Cangxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately channeled all his cultivation into this immense power, guiding it to break through the long-sealed bottleneck within his body.
He could feel it clearly.
The medicinal power of Lei Yang Bao Dan far exceeded his expectations. If he could guide it successfully, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm was not impossible.
However, just as the power of thunder and fire was about to reach its limit, an unexpected accident still occurred.
His meridians, due to his advanced age, had long become fragile and were simply unable to withstand such violent lightning and fire power.
Moreover, his lifespan has now been exhausted, and his vital energy and blood have depleted to the extreme.
Although the life force was strong, it was like a drop in the ocean, and it was simply not enough to support the blood and energy consumption required for him to complete the breakthrough.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Li Cangxuan's mouth, staining the front of his clothes red.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain swept through my entire body.
He could clearly feel his meridians breaking little by little.
The profound cultivation of the original Dharma Aspect True Person realm was rapidly dissipating, and the life force that was barely supported by the power of life was visibly disappearing.
"No...impossible!" (End of Chapter)
