Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 583 - 356: Heavenly Venerable_2

The Cloth Sack Arhat was a Heavenly Virtual Spirit Cultivator, and the Qiankun Cloth Bag was also a treasure of the Void Spirit. Having all magical treasures collected within one sleeve showed the extent of his comprehension and mastery over the Dao of the Void.

Therefore, when he returned to the World of Dao and Law, he didn’t need to pass through the Ascension Platform anymore, he could directly break through the void.

No sooner said than done, he left the East Victorious Divine Continent and came to a remote place. Then, maneuvering the damaged White Jade Capital, a ray of Five Colors Divine Light shone, and the void spiraled open, creating a calm spatial passage.

Immediately after, Xu Yang leaped forth, traversing the spatial boundaries and reappearing outside the world in the Chaotic Void.

The Chaotic Void, vast as countless sands!

How to return?

If there was no coordinate to guide, one could only explore and attempt, world by world, just like Xiao Qingyun did at the beginning.

Luckily, Xu Yang didn’t need to undergo such trouble. Although the Tao Seal left by the Ancestor of Tao could only transport one way, with the explorations of Xiao Qingyun and others, he had already identified the location of the World of Dao and Law.

Moreover, with the connection between the Taoism Origin Body and the Solar Avatar, the coordinates of the World of Dao and Law were as conspicuous to him as stars in the night sky.

...

Chaos that is not chaos, a void that is not void, time passing imperceptibly, after an undetermined duration, he finally reached his destination.

The World of Dao and Law!

A world, like a bright star, suspended in the void, continuously devouring chaos, transforming it into the mechanism of the Yuan Spirit, emanating an immense life force of the world.

Devouring chaos, converting to Yuan Spirit, this is a unique ability of the world, and also the way for the world to grow and become stronger.

He had been in the Upper Realm for more than seven hundred years, and over seven thousand years had passed in the lower realm. This World of Dao and Law seemed unchanged from his last memory. To a world, not just seven thousand, but even seventy thousand years were negligible.

Over seven thousand years, the Yuan Spirit power of the World of Dao and Law had continued to enhance, but it had not cultivated Immortal Spirit Qi as the Earth Immortal Realm had. Therefore, within the Wandao School, there were still no Mahayana Cultivators. Even Xu Yang’s Taoism Origin Body, for various reasons, had not forcibly broken through to Mahayana.

Now, with the avatar returning, Xu Yang didn’t enter uninvited because he could sense the fragility of this world and his own strength. A forceful entry might not burst it, but it could possibly cause uncontrollable impacts or even attract the three great Demon Artifacts and the Heavenly Demon Desire Realm.

This was not his desire. The current development direction of the World of Dao and Law was correct, and steady progress was the Righteous Path. There was no need for unnecessary actions that could complicate matters.

So, Xu Yang pulled out the White Jade Capital and sent only the damaged Immortal Spirit Mech Armor back into the realm while he himself waited outside.

At the same time...

In the World of Dao and Law, at the Wandao School.

On Golden Turtle Island, Xu Yang looked up and saw a rainbow of five colors piercing the sky and coming through the breached realm.

It was the "express delivery" he had sent to himself!

Xu Yang smiled, raised his hand to beckon, and the five-colored rainbow was guided down directly into the Palace of Ten Thousand Dao.

In the Palace of Ten Thousand Dao, on Golden Turtle Island, the Nine Ceremony High Altar was set up. All colleges, manors, and cities were ready with the rituals for the Luotian Dajiao.

This return of the avatar was mainly to transfer the resources he had collected over the years in the Upper Realm, as well as the recently acquired mountains of Ancient Iron and Essence Gold Divine Iron, to complete Xuanyuan and advance to the Nine Rituals.

With everything in place, and dawn approaching, Xu Yang reclaimed the White Jade Capital, opened the treasury of the Immortal City, and released the Ancient Iron Mountain.

"Boom!"

The earth shook tremendously as a mountain of iron rapidly enlarged, becoming thousands of feet tall in an instant, towering majestically within the palace.

"This..."

"Is that the Ancient Iron Mountain?"

"Indeed extraordinary!"

"It seems that the Taoist Master’s journey to the Upper Realm was greatly rewarding!"

Such commotion naturally caught everyone’s attention. True Monarch Fengming, Pure Yang Palace Master, and a host of Integration stage figures appeared one after another to watch.

Xu Yang didn’t say much and directly summoned Xuanyuan.

"Hum!"

With a tremble of the sword’s hum, Xu Yang raised his hand and a dazzling sword light suddenly appeared in his palm.

Within the resplendent light, the grand Sword Artifact emerged, growing rapidly from ten feet to hundreds, to thousands, and then to tens of thousands of feet. Engraved on the ancient sword were the sun, moon, stars, flora, and terrains, along with the techniques of agriculture on one side and strategies of managing the Four Seas on the other.

The radiant brilliance and towering dignity truly made it the foremost Holy Divine Weapon from ancient to modern times.

Xuanyuan!

Xu Yang held it aloft, and myriad sword lights shot into the sky. Concurrently, he activated the Divine Sword True Secret and the Nine Rites Mysterious Method to fill the gaps in heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

As the sword technique was wielded, beneath the resplendent light, the towering mountain of iron vibrated, and at its core, a stone womb appeared, within which a metal figure was formed with three gates and nine orifices, imbued with Yin and Yang as well as the Five Elements. It was the Essence Gold Divine Iron, an eighth-order Essence of the Earth.

The brilliance of the Divine Sword stayed fixed on the Essence Gold Divine Iron, ready to extract it. This caused the mountain to tremble and resist fiercely.

However, as Xu Yang’s mana surged with the Divine Sword True Secret and the might of the Nine Rites coupled with the merit of Heavenly Dao and the virtues of human hearts resonating, all obstacles dissipated like smoke, and the iron figure gained a soul.

It emerged from the stone womb like a moth to a flame, as if a sword being cast into the furnace, heading straight into the midst of the glorious light.

All at once...

"Hum!!!"

With the Essence of the Earth absorbed, the deficiency of the earthly law was filled. Xuanyuan Divine Sword shone brilliantly; what was merely a column holding up the heavens had now become a prideful sun, with splendid divine light spreading across the sky, illuminating the earth.

```

"This is..."

At the Ascension Academy, the land of creation, Ye Hao, who had advanced to the Return to Void, suddenly lifted his head and stared at the splendid sword light that illuminated the entire sky, his face full of astonishment and his eyes shocked.

Although he had already received the news that the Taoist Master had succeeded in his cultivation and that Xuanyuan had progressed to a superior grade, he had not expected such a huge commotion. The entire World of Dao and Law was bathed in the sword light.

Is this a Superior Immortal Implement?

No, ordinary Superior Immortal Implements certainly do not possess such might.

As an academy monk, Ye Hao had never seen a Superior Immortal Implement, but he had witnessed a top-tier Demon Artifact.

The three great Demon Artifacts that were suppressed by the Wandao School, connecting continuously to the Desire Realm, did not project such a magnificent and grand aura.

Although they were not presided over by anyone at that time, comparing the two made it apparent that Xuanyuan was extraordinary.

"Hum!!!"

In the midst of his alarm, another sword humming came from behind him.

"Hmm!?"

Ye Hao frowned, turned around, and saw a sword light, as bright as the proud sun, flying out from the encampment.

Was that... Xuanyuan?

Indeed it was Xuanyuan!

Yet, this Xuanyuan was not that Xuanyuan!

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

When one sword flew out, ten thousand swords followed; from every corner of the academy, swords soared, brilliant and majestic.

Not just at the Ascension Academy...

Golden Turtle Island, Palace of Ten Thousand Dao, various colleges, and city halls.

Under the rule of the Wandao School, in every region, every place, schools, colleges, urban districts, residences...

Wherever there were human traces, swords flew upwards, heading straight to the Nine Heavens, like Jiao Dragons entering the sea and Qingluan birds flying towards a Phoenix.

"This is..."

"Xuanyuan?"

"Could it be..."

The crowd was astounded, looking up only to see in the midst of the Nine Heavens, a sword propping up the heaven itself, reflecting the sun, moon, stars, grass, mountains, witnessing battles and chaos, transforming into a prosperous empire, the everlasting imperial power...

All the swords that rose were Xuanyuan, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, merging into the radiant light.

Where did Xuanyuan come from?

It was, of course, forged by human effort!

Ever since the foundation of the Wandao School, Xuanyuan Divine Sword had been a renowned treasure. Many academy monks had tried to refine it. Although due to various reasons, it did not possess the might of a true Holy Sword, it still had a semblance of its divine charm.

This was millennia ago, and six thousand years prior, when Xu Yang, with the help of the Pill Origin Gathering, obtained the Nine Rites Mysterious Method, the Wandao School began the Xuanyuan construction plan.

Each department, each academic institution, and every city sector down to every street, had forged a Magical Treasure-tier Xuanyuan Sword, available for the populace to offer their tributes towards.

This is the origin of the billions of Xuanyuan swords at this moment!

With the passage of six thousand years and the previous accumulation, there are now over a hundred million Magical Treasure-tier Xuanyuan Swords under the jurisdiction of the Wandao School.

Now, billions of Xuanyuan, each soaring on their own from all parts of the World of Dao and Law, from all directions of the Wandao School, mighty and powerful, flew into the sky, merging into the main body of the Divine Sword, into Xuanyuan itself.

Finally...

"Roarrrrr!"

In the sky, a radiant light stretched ten thousand zhang, standing tall and proud between heaven and earth.

Then, another sword chant rose, like a True Dragon bellowing, and within the vast radiant light, the divine sword disassembled and reconstituted its form, ultimately transforming into a human shape.

What kind of person?

He wore a yellow bronze crown of jade, dressed in a five-clawed True Dragon robe, stood as tall as ten thousand zhang, emanating imperial power and heavenly authority, riding a yellow dragon, soaring through the Ninth Heaven, ruling the world, and commanding the Four Seas.

It was...

"The Taoist Master?"

"Has he made it?"

"Xuanyuan?"

The gaze of True Monarch Phoenix Song sharpened, and the Pure Yang Palace Master lost his voice as well.

"No!"

Just then, a light laugh was heard. A person stepped out from the Palace of Ten Thousand Dao, looking at the towering figure who commanded respect from the heavens, and with a light laugh said, "It’s the Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate!"
