Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.
The alchemical furnace emitted wisps of green smoke, while Nine Revolutions Violet Qi.
Laozi sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his face ancient and his eyes indifferent, as if he were in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and in solitude with all things.
However, at this moment...
The Grand Pure Sage, who was known for his inaction, had a ripple appear in the depths of his half-open eyes.
He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the layers of palaces and landing on the East Sea Coast.
It fell towards that crimson-gold Martial Dao Will Light Pillar that soared into the Yun Xiao and pierced through the clouds.
As it descended into the depths of the pillar of light, the Chaos Rune.
" The Law Prototype..."
Laozi murmured to himself, his voice calm and still, yet it caused the purple aura of the entire Eight Sceneries Palace to pause slightly.
Inside the alchemy furnace, the flames of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir suddenly went out of control, leaping several feet up and scorching the furnace walls with a hissing sound.
But Laozi seemed oblivious.
His entire being was drawn to that Chaos Rune.
That was... the rudimentary form of the Martial Dao Law!
Xuandu... is he really going to create his own path?
" Hunyuan... Daluo..."
Laozi slowly uttered these four words, his fingertips lightly tracing a barely perceptible path in the air.
At the end of the trajectory, there stands Xuandu's figure Martial Dao Heavenly Stele.
His green robes fluttered slightly, his black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and the Hunyuan Dao Rhyme around him was perfectly harmonious and unobstructed, with an unprecedented Martial Dao True Meaning being nurtured within him!
Hundred Year Dao Lecture, gathering the insights of Myriad Human Race, is truly about to condense into an unprecedented Path of Law!
This is simply... defying all logic!
Since the beginning of Great Wilderness, all laws have Great Dao Derivation and have existed eternally.
Even Sage only wield partial power by borrowing the Heavenly Dao Power, rather than creating it.
But Xuandu... a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal has cultivated for less than a hundred years, actually wants to forge a Martial Dao Law that belongs only to himself and also to the Human Race?
What shook Laozi Tzu even more was that
Xuandu followed the Path of Hunyuan!
Transcend Heavenly Dao, Self-Forming Laws!
He has now reached the Golden Immortal of the Origin Peak, and is only one step away from becoming the supreme Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Law Perfection!
Once the Martial Dao Law are successfully condensed and integrated into oneself...
Then he can use this law to break through the Shackles and Attain Zenith Heaven Hunyuan!
Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal...
Laozi's fingertips trembled slightly.
That's a level that even Sage would take notice of!
Although he does not attain the Sage Fruit Position or wield the Heavenly Dao Authority, he Transcendence the Heavenly Dao Restraint, possesses overwhelming combat power, and is not afraid of Sage!
All Three Pure Ones follow the Sever Three Corpses Path.
He achieved the status of Heavenly Dao Sage by virtue of his merits in Heaven-Opening Merit and the Sect-Founding Fortune.
The same applies to Yuanshi and Tongtian; they relied on the Primordial Violet Qi to Entrust to Heavenly Dao in order to attain sainthood.
But now...
Xuandu is actually going to take that step?
And in the form of Self-Created Law?
"I... back then..."
Laozi slowly closed his eyes, and for the first time, a clear and unmistakable regret appeared on his ancient and unadorned face.
Ten years of wind and snow at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.
The young man in blue knelt outside the mountain gate, kowtowing for ten years, just to join the Human Sect and seek a chance at Immortal Destiny.
But what about him?
He wanted to further temper Xuandu's temperament, and then Xuandu Xuandu.
But now...
The young man he had high hopes for had already reached the Golden Immortal of the Origin Peak!
Furthermore, it has already condensed the Martial Dao Law Prototype!
What pained him even more was that Xuandu had taken Myriad Myriad Human Race as his disciples, erected the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, and gathered the Human Race Fortune...
This should have been the foundation of the Human Sect! It was his Laozi's destiny!
But now, all of this belongs to the Interception Sect!
He returned to Tongtian!
"Boom..."
Eight Sceneries Palace, the purple aura suddenly erupted in chaos!
The alchemy furnace exploded, Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir turned to ashes!
Laozi Tzu's Wu Wei Dao Rhyme crumbled inch by inch, replaced by an intense, suppressed yet boundless anger and regret!
Wrong!
He was completely wrong back then!
If he had taken Xuandu in back then, then the one who is condensing Martial Dao Law and breaking through to the Zenith Heaven today would be his disciple Grand Pure Sage!
The fortunes of Myriad Myriad Human Race will also belong to the Human Sect!
At that time, the fortune of the Human Sect Bureau will increase several times over, and his Laozi may be able to take another step forward with this fortune.
But now...
Everything is emptiness!
The fortunes of the Human Sect were diminished due to Xuandu taking on disciples, and they also lost a disciple who was capable of Attain Zenith Heaven Hunyuan!
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
On the cloud bed, the Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were slightly closed, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light around him flowed like a tide, yet there was a trace of barely perceptible disorder.
He did not truly enter a meditative state.
Since the fall of the North Sea Ran Deng, Xuandu led Myriad Human Race to force back the Demon Court, and even obtained a ten-thousand-year ban for the Human Race in front of the Dao Ancestor.
The Sage Yuqing, who was always known for his majesty and solemnity, was no longer at peace.
now.
He slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze pierced through layers of palaces, through endless void, and fell directly upon the East Sea Coast.
There, a Crimson Gold Light Pillar shot into the sky, piercing through the Yun Xiao and shaking the entire world!
Within the pillar of light, Martial Dao Will surged like a dragon, Blood Qi Resonance like thunder. A Chaos Rune was faintly visible within, emanating an unprecedented Daoist charm unique to martial arts!
" The Martial Dao Law... in their embryonic form..."
The Yuanshi Tianzun slowly uttered these words, his voice icy, yet carrying an uncontrollable tremor.
He saw it clearly.
That was no ordinary phenomenon or convergence of insights.
That was the true Law Prototype!
This is a sign that a Brand New Great Dao is being conceived by Myriad Human Race who have cultivated martial arts for a hundred years, whose wills resonate and whose insights intertwine, guided by the Hunyuan Dao Rhyme Xuandu!
Once this law is fully formed and Great Dao Recognition...
Then Xuandu can use this law to break through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!
"Century..."
The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable tapped his fingertips lightly on the cloud bed, producing a deep and rhythmic sound.
Each sound seemed to resonate deep within his Dao Heart.
century.
A mere century.
It has only been a hundred years since Xuandu left Shouyang Mountain and joined the Interception Sect.
But this past century...
This child, initially Human Race, gained the favor of Tongtian and was taken in as his personal disciple.
He later erected the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, took in Myriad Human Race as his disciples, and gathered the Human Race Fortune into the Interception Sect.
He re-entered the North Sea, beheaded Ran Deng, captured the Black Tortoise, took in the Kunpeng, and forced the Yuanshi Saintly Might to retreat.
Now, they have led Myriad Human Race to besiege the Demon Court, confronting the Stars, seeking justice for Human Race before the Dao Ancestor, and establishing a ten-thousand-year prohibition...
One by one, case by case.
Which one of them wasn't an act against the will of Heaven?
Which one wasn't shocking and outrageous?
And now...
He actually intends to Self-Created Law and Prove Dao Through Martial Arts!
" Zenith Heaven..."
Yuanshi Tianzun slowly clenched his fist, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi gleaming within his sleeve, reflecting the surging killing intent and... apprehension in his eyes.
Yes.
fear.
Even if one is Sage, holding the Heavenly Dao Authority, looking down upon all living beings in the Great Wilderness.
At this moment, facing the Martial Dao Law that were gathering in Xuandu, Yuanshi Tianzun still felt a clear sense of apprehension.
This is because Xuandu is walking the Path of Hunyuan!
Transcend Heavenly Dao, Self-Forming Laws!
Once Attain Zenith Heaven Hunyuan, one truly stands on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao and is not afraid of the Sage Authority!
At that time...
Could he, Yuanshi, still intimidate him with the Sage's Pressure as he does today?
not to mention...
