Return to Wuyi Mountain
"Epoch Change, but the path of immortality remains eternal."
Grand Pure Daoist stood Kunlun Mountain, bowing solemnly to the assembled immortals and saying:
"The Mystic Gate Opens Mountain this time, establishing the lineage of the Five Immortals and laying the foundation for an everlasting legacy, is all thanks to the assistance of fellow Daoists."
"Now, the Western Demonic Cult, the remnants of the three races, the Remnant Souls of Chaos, and the Ancient Era Survivors are either dead or wounded, making it difficult for them to pose any further resistance."
"After you fellow Daoists descend the mountain, you should widely spread the Daoist tradition throughout the Primordial World, so that all living beings may bathe in the Immortal Dao Radiance."
Having said that, the Grand Pure Daoist pointed to the nine Mystic Gate Ancestor that appeared in the Grand Void and said with a faint smile:
"In my immortal path, there are still two revered patriarchs, and below the Mystic Gate Ancestor, there are the positions of Dao Masters of various lineages, awaiting you all."
"If any fellow Daoist can make a contribution to my Immortal Path, they may well enjoy the fortune of the various branches of my Immortal Path and become an Immortal Venerable Master."
Upon hearing this, the immortals' eyes flickered with uncertainty, their hearts burning with excitement.
Although most immortals know that the two positions of Mystic Gate Ancestor are most likely just empty promises, and there is a high probability that they will never be able to obtain them.
But as immortals with limitless lifespans, they still need dreams and ideas, right?
Moreover, even the Grand Pure Daoist of Morality Heavenly Venerate has spoken about it.
Besides the two Mystic Gate Ancestor lineage, the Five Immortal Dao Lineages also has various other lineages to be established. Although the positions of the lineage leaders of these lineages are far inferior to those of the patriarchs of the Five Immortal Dao Lineages and the patriarchs of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, they are still very powerful.
But its gold content is by no means inferior.
They are all top-tier immortal cultivation positions.
They might not be able to secure the position of Mystic Gate Ancestor, but they could at least get a position as the head of a lineage.
As for powerful figures like Di Jun, Di Jiang, and East King Duke, who were qualified to become the Mystic Gate Ancestor, they were ambitious.
The Grand Pure Daoist's actions were nothing more than an attempt to urge all the immortals to vie for territory, and to seize all the sacred mountains, Daoist temples, Grotto-heaven blessed lands, and cultivation resources that originally belonged to the three races, the Primordial Divine Demon Dao Lineage and demons, and the Western Demonic Cult Sect, and place them under the control of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
During this period, those who handle affairs skillfully will naturally be blessed with divine fortune, their lineage will flourish, and they may become the masters of a path.
This is a blatant, overt conspiracy.
However, Di Jun and his group also had the same idea.
As someone who aspires to become the sole sun of the Primordial World, a Heavenly Emperor revered by all living beings, and a ruler of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
Big represents beauty, and many represent strength.
The larger the territory one occupies, the more areas and living beings one influences, which signifies greater power and prosperity.
'We should press our advantage and pursue the fleeing enemy!'
Muttering verses he had plagiarized from some unknown immortal, Di Jun felt a surge of heroic spirit.
The era that follows belongs to our Demon Clan.
This is the era of Di Jun!
Seeing the immortals' murderous aura and their eagerness to sharpen their knives, the Grand Pure Daoist of Morality Heavenly Venerate couldn't help but nod slightly.
"Since that's the case..."
"The Mystic Gate Opens Mountain has officially concluded."
"Fellow Daoists, please return to your respective mountain gates and widely spread the teachings of our Immortal Dao."
"We shall meet again in thirty thousand years, when the Purple Firmament Palace opens!"
The music ended, the crowd dispersed, and the immortals went their separate ways.
In the Azure Sky, the sound of Daoist chants could be heard.
"The Human Dao is insignificant, the path of immortals is boundless, while the Ghost Dao is joyful! At the gate of life, the path of immortals values life, while the Ghost Dao values death."
"The path of immortals is always auspicious, the Ghost Dao is always ominous; the highest Shangqing and beautiful, a mournful song echoes in the vast sky..."
"The heavens are vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes ever more!"
The [Song of the Immortal Dao] resounded on Kunlun Mountain, like the grand sound of immortals, echoing throughout the ten directions and four extremes.
"The heavens are vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes ever more!"
Zhou Yuan stopped and recited it once as well.
He looked around at the world, at all times, and couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:
"From this day forward, a new world will emerge."
"No matter how different, no matter how different!"
Having said that, he waved his green robe and wide sleeves, summoned Auspicious Clouds, and headed straight for Wuyi Mountain.
I returned to Wuyi Mountain.
They entered the Seeking Dao Palace.
Zhou Yuan then rang the Dao bell.
Before long, the disciples of Wuyi Mountain, led by Wu Zhiqi, arrived at the Dao Palace.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, teacher."
"Greetings, Ancestor."
"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Venerable."
A dense, overwhelming crowd of people.
There were direct descendants from the Wei River region, native creatures from Wuyi Mountain, and also cultivators selected from the Acquired Merchant Dao.
They are all beings who have achieved the perfect Golden Immortal realm, and are also the true seeds of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage.
Zhou Yuan sat upright on the futon, his gaze sweeping across the universe. He calculated with his fingers and knew that these disciples and followers were all loyal and honest people, who, even when the merchant guild was on the verge of collapse, were determined to live and die with the Dao lineage. He nodded and said:
True character is revealed in times of adversity.
"True loyalty is revealed in times of turmoil."
"You have done very well."
Zhou Yuan praised it.
The disciples and followers below all had flushed faces, their hearts filled with excitement.
But he still kowtowed and said:
"It is thanks to the protection of the Daoist lineage that we have achieved what we have today."
"I will never forget this kindness!"
Zhou Yuan laughed:
"Your cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Golden Immortal realm."
"Once the laws are refined, one can attain the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal."
At this point, Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally said:
"The Ascend True Essence to Form Grotto-heaven in Wuyi Mountain contains seventy-two innate grottoes."
"The workings of Heavenly Dao are in motion, and the flow of fortune is secretly aligned."
"Having participated in the Mystic Gate Opens Mountain sect and assumed the position of the Mystic Gate Ancestor, I have gained further insights into the immortal path. Within the foundation of my lineage, the [Primordial Abyss True Scripture], I have comprehended seventy-two immortal methods."
"These seventy-two immortal cultivation methods are all fundamental techniques that directly lead to the Daluo Golden Immortal Fundamental Great Law."
Upon hearing this, the disciples below didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
They were all focused, ears perked up, listening intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
Daluo Golden Immortal!
Now, the Mystic Gate Immortal Path is spreading its teachings Primordial Great World; all other methods are heretical and it is difficult to attain true enlightenment.
The Divine Demon Dao Lineage methods they originally practiced have all become worthless.
The patriarch possessed seventy-two Dharma gates, each of which could lead to the attainment of the Great Luo Fruit.
How to prevent the disciples and followers of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage from becoming ecstatic?
Even though these seventy-two immortal cultivation methods cannot directly lead to the attainment of the Great Luo Dao Lord, they can still directly point out the direction for everyone's cultivation.
It saves us from countless years of arduous work.
Zhou Yuan didn't keep them in suspense any longer.
"Guizhenzi, Qingrong."
"Disciple is here!"
Guizhenzi and the Old Man Qingrong stepped forward and bowed.
"You two have already become my disciples, and are honored to be among those who have registered your names."
"Each of them took possession of the Longevity Cave and the Evergreen Cave."
"These two methods can be used to protect your cave dwelling."
With a light tap of his bamboo staff, two jade slips appeared from the Grand Void and fell into the hands of Guizhenzi and the Old Man Qingrong.
Even though these two old men had already attained the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, they couldn't help but kowtow in surprise and said:
"Your disciple thanks you, Master!"
The methods recorded in these two jade slips clearly correspond to the Great Dao they practiced.
With this method, the difficulty of cultivation, the difficulty of becoming Daluo Golden Immortal, is reduced by more than several times.
'My teacher is compassionate and cares about me!'
Thinking of this, even with their strong personalities, Guizhenzi and Old Man Qingrong couldn't help but have their eyes redden.
That's what a teacher should be like!
Like a teacher, like a father!
Zhou Yuan's eye twitched as he looked at their expressions.
What's going on here?
To be honest, he hadn't thought that much about it.
It's just that the [Myriad Dao Book] is too powerful, and the methods derived from it have just matched the fortune of the Seventy-two Caves.
It doesn't matter which great method is bestowed; it's better to prescribe the right medicine for the illness, increase the cultivation speed of Guizhenzi and others, and enable them to attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit as soon as possible.
He's now a giant in the immortal cultivation world.
Guizhenzi and others wanted to serve him as his servants, they would have to be high-ranking servants at the level of Great Luo Dao Lord.
