The Divine Path Decays, the Immortal Path Shall Rise
The struggle between worlds is like this: by imprinting one's own Rules on all things within Boundary Domain, one can completely incorporate them into one's own Dao Domain.
Xuangen stood in the Nine Heavens, his eyes lowered, his expression cold and stern.
The day has finally come. Although he had foreseen this day long ago, he didn't expect it to come so soon.
The growth of the North Spring Realm was within his expectations. After all, as he said, this might be the self-redemption of the Profound Universe Realm itself. With the Fortune Empowerment, it can sail smoothly and its momentum is unstoppable.
It was precisely this change that allowed him to find a glimmer of hope for transcendence amidst this upheaval.
However, Gu Yuanqing's growth was too fast, and the speed at which the North Spring Realm devoured Boundary Domain was also too fast, far exceeding his expectations. Before his true self could fully awaken, it had already devoured many Small World and extended the battle line into the Fa Yuan Realm.
The battle several years prior had made him realize Gu Yuanqing's strength, but his Avatar was no match for him!
However, he would not admit defeat so easily. The path to transcendence is inherently difficult. Compared to the countless Reincarnation in the past where he had never had the chance to transcend, now at least he has a chance. It is just a matter of the final battle determining the outcome!
Moreover, the stronger the North Spring Realm grows, the more ripe the fruits he can reap when he finally wins.
Although these various things were somewhat out of his control, the final outcome remained unchanged.
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. He did not immediately make another move, because Great Simplicity's obstruction had given Xuangen the opportunity to regroup and stabilize the situation.
Although this time is only a brief moment, it is more than enough for someone at the God Lord level.
Having missed this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to capture Xuangen's clone in one Avatar.
However, it wasn't a big problem for Gu Yuanqing; it was just a bit more troublesome.
Devouring a large world is no simple matter; it's a completely different concept from the Small World he previously controlled.
This can be seen from the current clash between the two worlds. After the North Spring Realm entered the Small World, the power of the Great Dao was injected into the original Great Dao River, which quickly took over it.
However, the Great Dao of the two worlds are now Severed Hair clashing in subtle ways.
Although the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm covers these areas, the branches of the Great Dao River of the Fa Yuan Realm, which are interwoven like a legal net, still remain.
These Rules and their power have created a deeply ingrained legal network, imprinted on everything. If the North Spring Realm truly wants to completely control these areas, it needs time to gradually erode them and replace the original Rules belonging to the Profound Universe Realm with its own Rules.
The clashes within the Great Dao River are even more intense.
Even though the North Spring Realm itself originated from the Profound Universe Realm and shares the same origin, and the world itself is not overly resistant to it, conflicts between the Rules are still difficult to avoid.
The Great Dao of North Spring spread out within it, merging with the original river of the Fa Yuan Realm Great Dao.
At this moment, one can clearly feel that the torrent of the Great Dao in the North Spring Realm appears clearer, more ethereal, and brimming with vitality;
While the Great Dao River in the Fa Yuan Realm still appears thick and resilient, it has become much more turbid.
This is a symbol of the Decay Dao Heaven and Earth. After the Final End, various signs have appeared in the Great Dao itself.
You might not notice it when you're alone, but it becomes crystal clear when you compare it to others.
The Cultivator of the Divine Path within the area enveloped by the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm also sensed these changes. They were slightly taken aback and reached out to feel the gentle touch of the breeze.
They felt the world had become somewhat unfamiliar, but the atmosphere between Heaven and Earth suddenly became lighter and more refreshing, even their breath seemed to carry a touch of freshness.
However, if one's cultivation reaches the Yin-Yang Void Breaking Realm or above, one will suddenly feel the power of the Rule Divine Artifact weaken, and the Rule Divine Artifact Stars that shimmer in the Nine Heavens above seem to suddenly become more distant.
Gu Yuanqing looked up at the sky and chuckled, "So, what kind of battle do you plan to wage next, Daoist Friend?"
Xuangen did not reply, but only gave Gu Yuanqing a deep look before his figure slowly faded away.
Gu Yuanqing's smile gradually faded. In fact, he hoped that Xuangen would directly use the Rule Divine Artifact Power to fight him, and that the two of them would determine the winner here. If he could severely injure Xuan Gen, then the process of the North Spring Realm devouring the Fa Yuan Realm would undoubtedly be much smoother.
However, it was clear that Xuangen had also seen through the changes and knew that what he was showing now was only Avatar, and that he was probably no match for Gu Yuanqing. In fact, based on his experience in the previous battle, he could predict that the Avatar would be destroyed if he was not careful.
If that's the case, it would be better to retreat to the background and let the Fa Yuan Realm itself confront Gu Yuanqing, slowing down the pace of the North Spring Realm's devouring of the Fa Yuan Realm, giving the main body more time.
Above the Nine Heavens.
An old man's figure suddenly appeared, but at the same moment, the illusory image of the Heaven and Earth Stele also appeared.
Great Simplicity stepped out from the Heaven and Earth Stele, stared at the old man, and said in a deep voice, "Xuangen Daoist Friend, stop here. The Heaven and Earth has not yet reached its Destruction. If you insist on breaking the expansion of the Guixu Heavenly Abyss, I will have no choice but to fight you. I believe Gu Yuanqing will also take the opportunity to make a move, which will not be good for you."
"I was merely observing!" Xuangen said indifferently, and then his figure disappeared again.
In North Spring Mountain.
Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and smiled.
With a wave of his hand, the Cloudmist surrounding North Spring Mountain suddenly disappeared, and the majestic Great Mountain was fully revealed in the Fa Yuan Realm.
He spoke calmly, saying, "The Divine Path Decay Dao, while the Immortal Path should flourish. Sixty years from now, I, Gu Yuanqing, will preach the Dao in the Fuyuan Mountain Range Tianfang Domain. Anyone with a heart for the Immortal Path, regardless of their background, is welcome to come and listen to my teachings."
The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly traveled billions of miles.
These words resonated in my ears and in my heart; even spatial barriers could not silence their power.
Although Gu Yuanqing is not God Lord and does not follow the Divine Path, he is at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal by relying on the North Spring Realm. Even in this world that he has not yet taken control of, he still possesses boundless power.
For a moment, most of the Fa Yuan Realm was quiet, and then the whole world was in an uproar.
Did you hear that sound just now?
"Of course I heard it. Gu Yuanqing from Tianfang Domain said he wanted to preach. Who is that?"
"You don't even know this? The former Creation True God is rumored to have become God King, and even the Divine Court has to show him respect. However, what kind of Great Dao Immortal Path this Immortal Path? I've never heard of it before, and what kind of Rule Divine Artifact its cultivation?"
"I've heard it's an unorthodox path of Outer Dao, not involving the cultivation of Rule Divine Artifact or the Divine Spark, but relying on sensing the Heaven and Earth and earth to attain Divine Ability."
"So it's some Outer Dao. What kind of achievements can they possibly make!"
"That's not necessarily true. There might be some hidden secrets behind Gu Yuanqing's current level of skill."
"Who knows? Perhaps some minor sects might be interested. Besides, even if it truly is the Great Dao, our foundations are already established, so it has nothing to do with me." A Cultivator shook his head.
"Indeed, perhaps they are just like the Primordial Beginning Demon Church Sect, using the name of Immortal Path to bewitch Human Heart, even claiming that the Divine Path Decay Dao. How is this any different from the Primordial Beginning Demon Church!"
The vast majority of Cultivator in the Fa Yuan Realm are unfamiliar with the Immortal Path; they have never even heard of it since they began cultivating.
In this world teeming with the power of Rule Divine Artifact, the path of Immortal Path has no fertile ground to exist.
However, it is somewhat different for those at the True God Level and above, who are knowledgeable and aware of Outer Dao.
"The Immortal Path? I have read about it in Ancient Records. In Primordial times, it seems that some people tried it, but none of them attained enlightenment, and all of them met with a bad end."
"So Gu Yuanqing was cultivating the Immortal Path of immortality!"
"These are just his words; who knows if they are true or false? Gu Yuanqing was a Daoist who Achieving the Dao through Creation, and he has a relationship with Ancient God like the Creation God King. Perhaps he wants to use the name of spreading the Dao to gather Incense Power and shake the foundation of my Divine Court."
Some people were slightly stunned, especially the Cultivator at the God Level. They were more concerned about a few other words: the Decay Dao of the Divine Path.
The higher one's level of cultivation and spiritual attainment, the more things one can perceive.
They also know more; they can see the Great Dao River and obtain information from various channels, knowing about the separation of many Boundary Domain from the Great Dao River of the Fa Yuan Realm.
Furthermore, the battles that have taken place in the Tianfang Domain over the years have even led to the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Stele, which displays power far exceeding their own level.
Now that Gu Yuanqing's name has spread throughout the world, it also means that Gu Yuanqing has won!
Has Divine Path truly become Decay Dao?
Countless people remained silent.
Of course, while some people have doubts, others believe them.
Many Rogue Cultivator the Divine Path lack Dao Lineage and have reached the end of their Dao Path. Gu Yuanqing's words undoubtedly gave them hope.
After all, the person who uttered these words was said to be someone even the Divine Court couldn't do anything about!
Even within the Divine Court, there were people who were interested.
The path of the Divine Path has its limitations; a single Rule Divine Artifact can only enable one person to become God King, and even the path to becoming Heavenly God has its limitations.
Therefore, even those True God Level Cultivator whose Dao Path have been blocked by others inevitably have their own thoughts.
So soon after Gu Yuanqing spoke, some people couldn't resist setting off.
For Gu Yuanqing, a distance of billions of miles is but a stone's throw away, but for ordinary Cultivator, it is an insurmountable gap, and even traveling at full speed, they might miss the opportunity.
Looking at the Motion and Stillness in the North Spring Realm, Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly.
In the Fa Yuan Realm, the transmission of Immortal Path is itself a struggle for destiny, much like the many Small World.
The struggle between the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is something that must be pursued gradually, especially in such a vast world.
Although these Cultivator are weak individually, any assistance they receive can accelerate his pace of devouring the Fa Yuan Realm.
Perhaps Xuangen, Great Simplicity, or even the Divine Court will try to stop it.
But ultimately, some will believe that the increase in the number of people cultivating Immortal Path will naturally help the path of the North Spring Realm develop in the Fa Yuan Realm.
There's no need to rush this; we can just let it develop naturally.
A single spark can start a prairie fire; once he plants the seeds, he will reap the rewards in the future.
Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the clash between the Great Dao of the Fa Yuan Realm and the North Spring Realm.
Although Xuangen has left this place, his mind is still in harmony with Heaven and Earth, manipulating the Great Dao of the Fa Yuan Realm to hinder the power of the North Spring Realm. The current confrontation between the two is just like it was back in the Small World.
However, the conflict was more intense compared to the others.
When those Small World clashed, their respective powers were too dispersed; it was merely a clash between branches of the Great Dao River of two worlds.
But now it is more concentrated, and it is also a direct collision between the two world Great Dao themselves.
The Great Dao River of the North Spring Realm was constantly churning up towering waves. Even the Heavenly God dared not place their wills on the river, as a single wave was enough to severely damage their minds.
These fluctuations were not limited to the area of conflict, but spread throughout the entire Boundary Domain.
The Heaven and Earth Great Dao and Earth is such that a single hair can affect the whole body. Moreover, Xuangen and Great Simplicity themselves are the Great Dao powers that control the entire world, and they are clashing with Gu Yuanqing.
The Fa Yuan Realm is also Great Luo Heaven Realm, at the same level as the North Spring Realm. Its foundation is extremely stable, and every expansion of the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm into the Fa Yuan Realm requires even more effort.
However, despite the fierce battle, the expansion of the North Spring Realm has not stopped, and it continues to slowly bring more and more territory into its domain.
Even with Great Simplicity's involvement, it was difficult to reverse this trend.
This is not only reflected in the main battlefield of Tianfang Domain, but also in the North Spring Realm Dao Domain that has infiltrated from many Small World.
The North Spring Realm has long since become a behemoth no less than the Fa Yuan Realm, encompassing numerous worlds and still growing rapidly every moment.
With lush foliage, the main trunk naturally grows faster as well.
In particular, as time went by, the Dao Mark imprints belonging to the Profound Universe Realm in these Small World were gradually worn away.
With these hidden dangers gone, the foundation becomes solid, the Great Dao River smoothly, Heaven and Earth are in harmony, life is endless, and nature is in perfect balance.
Time flies, and more than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Tianfang Domain is now encompassed within the scope of the North Spring Realm Great Dao.
Some Cultivator of the Divine Path felt isolated from the power of the Rule Divine Artifact and actively distanced themselves from the Tianfang Domain, while many other Cultivator came to the Tianfang Domain.
The Cultivator of the Qian Yuan Sect also entered the Tianfang Domain.
They established the Qian Yuan Dao Academy within the Boundary Domain, passing down the methods of Immortal Path and promoting the Dao Lineage Immortal Path.
The once unfamiliar name of Immortal Path has gradually spread throughout the Fa Yuan Realm.
On this day, Avatar Jiang Yunchuan, Heavenly God from the Divine Court, came to visit.
Gu Yuanqing invited him into the Mountain and, as always, treated him to a seat.
After Jiang Yunchuan took his seat, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said in a deep voice, "Brother Gu, I have come here today to ask on behalf of my Daoist Friend from the Divine Court: Is the Divine Path truly Decay Dao?"
Gu Yuanqing calmly said, "Daoist Friend cultivates the Divine Path, so your understanding of it should be deeper than mine. When the Old God awaken and the Final End comes, even the Rule Divine Artifact will be affected, let alone the Divine Path Cultivator use it as their Dao Foundation."
Fellow Heavenly Dao Liangtian sacrificed himself to enter the Origin Dao Sea in order to seek a glimmer of hope for the Human Race's Divine Path Cultivator. Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth itself is already in such a state, and how can human power reverse it?
Moreover, at that Peak, the Old-Era God Lord blocked everyone's path.
"Is that Old God truly the God Lord?" Jiang Yunchuan sat up straight. As Heavenly God, he naturally knew some things, but what he knew was not certain.
Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "If it weren't for the God Lord, why would the Creation God King have secluded himself from the world for tens of millions of years?"
"That Divine Venerable— " Jiang Yunchuan's expression changed slightly.
Gu Yuanqing calmly said, "Don't worry, he should be fine for now. He's entered the Heaven-Connecting Tower Heaven-Connecting Tower power, he can only protect himself at most, not the billions of Human Race."
Jiang Yunchuan opened his mouth, then remained silent for a long time before looking up at Gu Yuanqing: "Then is the Immortal Path possible?"
