Gathering

Within illusion, the universe was vast; within dreams, the sun and moon endured. With a flick of the fingers, three thousand years passed unnoticed.

Blue Star Realm, Myriad Dao Palace.

Countless immortals gathered in one hall. Upon the Nine Ritual High Altar, the master of the Human Sect proclaimed the scriptures, while the Supreme Elder expounded the Dharma. The Principles of the Great Dao manifested, bringing Flowers Falling from the Sky and Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth. Whether Human Immortals or Earth Immortals, all were utterly absorbed, listening as though intoxicated.

Some were suddenly enlightened, their confusion swept away.

Some found it obscure and incomprehensible, scratching their heads and ears.

Even more so, some attained Epiphany in a single day and broke through on the spot.

And so it continued, for who knew how long...

The sounds of the Dao gradually ceased, and the strange phenomena slowly faded.

The crowd awoke as if from a dream. Moved within their hearts, they rose one after another and quietly awaited the Imperial Decree.

"The time has come. Take your positions by division—slay the demons beyond Heaven!"

"We obey the Imperial Decree!"

Hearing this, the immortals immediately answered. Each took their place according to their division and formed the Myriad Immortals Array. Xuan Yuan rose into the air, Nine Ceremonies pointed toward Heaven, drawing forth the response of Myriad Daos above. The immortals followed, leading below the incense offerings of the Dharma altar and the sacrificial rites of all living beings...

Unity of Heaven and Man, Myriad Daos slay demons!

The final ray of brilliance shot into the vault of the cosmos, all the way to the summit of the Ninth Heaven, arriving at the Heavenly Boundary.

Beyond Heaven, behold immortals and gods!

The Three Thousand Great Daos led by different paths
