Attaining the One and Only Dao

Meanwhile, Hong'er tricked Taibai Jinxing into giving her the new flag, and secretly took the old flag and escaped from Yaochi, heading straight for the Lihen Tianhua Realm.

Along the way, they trembled with fear at the sight of Immortal and were terrified when they encountered Heavenly Lords

Their plan was exposed before they had gone very far.

How could the new flag be hidden from Taibai Jinxing?

Taibai Jinxing was initially hesitant to examine it closely due to etiquette; however, after leaving the Yaochi, he took a closer look and recognized that it was not a Primordial Heaven treasure. He then reported this to the Queen Mother of the West, and after verifying the testimony, he learned that Hong'er had coveted the celestial treasure, deceived her superiors and subordinates, and fled with the treasure, a crime deserving of death.

The Queen Mother of the West was furious and ordered the Six Immortal Maidens and the Perfected Lord Taixi of the Flower Realm to capture him.

Ao Tu was appointed by the Jade Emperor as the Western Heaven Savior Celestial Worthy, but he never lost his position as the Perfected Lord Taixi of Yaochi, and therefore was also under the jurisdiction of Yaochi.

Taibai Jinxing returned to report to the Jade Emperor.

The Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor was equally enraged. He issued an imperial edict to the Dipper Department, summoning Ziwei Gouchen, and instructing the Thirty-Six Heavens and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends to lay down a net of Heavenly Net, activate the Stars Grand Formation, and inform all the immortals to search for and capture Hong'er.

Just as Ao Tu bid farewell to the Sage Jieyin, he saw the Stars tremble and the Formation shift.

Ao Tu was unaware of the matter and initially wanted to inquire at the Dipper Department, but then he remembered that the Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner was crucial to the the Path and could not be lost, so he decided to head to Yaochi first.

On the way, they encountered the Six Immortal Maidens, along with Six Thousand Yaochi Female Immortals and Six Thousand Yaochi Strongman.

Ao Tu stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Why all this commotion?"

The Six Immortal Maidens, her eyes red-rimmed, dared not tell the truth in front of everyone, so she could only recount the public truth about Hong'er stealing the treasure.

Tears welled in Qing'er's eyes as she threw herself into Ao Tu's arms, feigning sobs as she cried, "Hong'er selfishly stole the Immortal Banner! If it cannot be retrieved, we will all be severely punished! We women have no magical power; now we can only rely on the True Lord!"

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms tightly around Ao Tu's waist, buried her head in Ao Tu's chest, and whispered:

"Brother-in-Law, hurry and save Sister Hong'er! She was confused for a moment and stole the Immortal Flag. She must be on her way to Heaven of Parting Hatred to find you now!"

Qing'er didn't explain why Hong'er went to Heaven of Parting Hatred to find Ao Tu, nor did she mention the reason why Hong'er stole the treasure. She only vaguely said that it was because she was confused for a moment, as if Hong'er was really just greedy.

It was all because Qing'er had a plan.

Sister Hong'er was willing to escape Yaochi with Bao for Ao Tu's sake.

However, it remains to be seen whether Ao Tu is willing to bear the consequences for the sake of Sister Hong'er.

When faced with a major crisis, one's true character is revealed.

Upon hearing this, Ao Tu immediately took out the Hetu Luoshu and instantly knew Hong'er's location.

At that time, Hong'er was about to ascend to the Heaven of Parting Hatred, but she was surrounded by Heavenly Net, trapped on the Immortal Terrace, and suppressed by the Stars Grand Formation.

Taibai Jinxing shouted, "Bold Female Immortals, hand over the celestial treasures of Yaochi at once!"

Hong'er was unwilling to hand it over.

Taibai Jinxing then instructed the Underworld Water Star Official to lead men to capture him.

Although Hong'er is a woman, she actually possesses considerable magical power. Moreover, with the Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner in her hand, even if she cannot activate it, it still holds some Supernatural Ability. She fought against Underworld Water Star Official and others for a while without being defeated.

Taibai Jinxing seized an opportunity, shouted, and unleashed a burst of Gengjin Sword Qi with his sword.

Hong'er was shocked and raised the flag to cover herself.

Taibai Jinxing showed no mercy, using all the power he could muster. Hong'er was struck so hard that the Treasure Banner slipped from her grasp, and she stumbled, falling from the Immortal Terrace and plummeting to the mortal realm.

Ao Tu happened to know about this scene through the Hetu Luoshu, so he went straight to the Lower Realm.

Hong'er fell to the mortal realm, losing all her cultivation, and transformed into an ordinary Begonia.

Ao Tu originally intended to save her, but the Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner, upon seeing Ao Tu, flew over first, merging with the other four banners.

Ao Tu's own Cultivation Realm had been suppressed for a long time.

He initially wanted to attain the Great Luo through the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, but failed due to Ananda's Mind Tribulation.

Later, he wanted to use the bloodlines of the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Shaman, and the Demon Emperor to Attainment of the Dao, but failed due to Ananda's Mind Tribulation.

Later, he was Jieyin by the Sage Guidance, but fortunately, he was protected by a Primordial Heaven treasure and escaped unharmed.

Later, when he wanted to prove Primordial Divine Saints, he failed to do so. However, by a twist of fate, he first severed his Good Corpse, which then went to the past to Attainment of the Dao and nourished himself.

Later, he even dismembered his Self Corpse.

Now, his bloodline has long since merged into one, and it is impossible to distinguish between the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Shaman, and the Demon Emperor; everything has returned to himself.

He Attainment of the Dao six times, failing each time. Wasn't this all predetermined by Great Dao?

With Six Sages before him, how could he possibly succeed?

Now, with his seventh Attainment of the Dao, everything is proceeding as expected.

The Five Directional Banners of Heaven and Earth, representing the east, East, South, West, North, and Center, transformed into five great scriptures. The Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, with its apricot-yellow hue, served as the first chapter, while the Western Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner, served as the last chapter. These scriptures inscribed the Great Dao Ao Tu, each sentence Laws, totaling Seventy-Seven Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Characters. The Heavenly Dao roared, Purple Qi and auspicious Celebration Cloud stretching for Thirty Thousand Li, as all spirits paid homage.

The Minghe urgently summoned its followers, breaking through the Netherworld, raising the Teaching Flag high, and worshipping the True Lord.

The meanings of the five scriptures are revealed.

The first chapter is titled: The Yellow Ox Chapter.

This is the foundation of Ao Tu's teachings and the root of the Great Dao.

It recounts Faith founding of the religion and the belief in the oneness of God.

The second section is titled. "The Clergy Chapter."

Telling stories of sages and the lineage of religious sects.

The third section is titled: The Law Chapter.

It elucidates the fundamental Great Dao of human relationships, including marriage, kinship, inheritance, and interpersonal fairness.

The fourth section is titled: The Precepts Chapter.

It discusses Precepts, diet, covenants, rewards and punishments for Good and Evil, and what constitutes purity and what constitutes breaking a covenant.

The final chapter is titled: Revelation Chapter.

It tells of the afterlife, True Lord's revelations, and encourages learning.

This Attainment of the Dao lasted for One Hundred and Seventy-One Days and One Hundred and Seventy-Two Nights. Ao Tu expounded the Great Dao, Holy Light descended from the heavens, blessing the world without the slightest hindrance.

Ao Tu had already severed his Self Corpse, and even among those with great Supernatural Ability, he was a person with profound the Path. Now, his Attainment of the Dao enlightenment was simply a natural progression.

As Ao Tu attained Great Dao, his previously separate Good Corpse and Self Corpse broke free from past Future, becoming completely one with himself.

Previously, although Ao Tu had severed his Good Corpse and Self Corpse, he was unable to break through the Future and unify with the two corpses because he had not yet Attainment of the Dao enlightenment; he could only rely on his own connection to indirectly exert the power of the two corpses.

Now, everything returns to its original state; the past and the Future are fully known in the heart.

As the One Hundred and Seventy-Two Nights ended and day broke, Ao Tu finished reciting the last verse of Scripture.

The five great scriptures were combined into one, transforming into a thick, ancient scripture called the "Heavenly Scripture."

The heavens bestowed immeasurable Merit upon the Heavenly Scripture, transforming it into Merit Treasure.

All the believers also ascended to heaven along with their chickens and dogs.

All the Demon King and generals ascended to immortality.

The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, the Taiyi Dao Fruit, and countless others.

Countless believers have received countless benefits.

Free from illness, warding off disasters, longevity, good health, and wisdom...

The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Venerable, the Taiqing Dao De Tianzun Heavenly Venerable, the Eastern Lands Saint Nuwa, the Western Heaven Sage Jieyin, Western Heaven Sage Zhunti, each carrying banners, canopies, Treasure Banner banners, and Lotus Flower, came to offer their congratulations.

However, even the Zhunti Sage couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What's done is done, and there's not much that can be done.

Following closely behind, the Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, each bringing precious pearls Rare Treasures, came to offer their congratulations.

The Six Sages met and greeted each other as "Your Majesty".

Ao Tu also performed the proper etiquette.

Afterwards, powerful Supernatural Ability from all sides came to offer their congratulations and present gifts.

Ao Tu thanked them all and instructed Minghe to prepare a banquet in their hospitality.

The group discussed philosophical ideas at the table.

The Six Sages, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother borrowed the "Heavenly Scripture" to read.

Afterwards, other Supernatural Ability individuals passed it around for others to see.

In the Heavenly Scripture, there is Daoist Scriptures that recognizes the one true "Lord" and does not worship other deities.

This Daoist Scriptures is better for believers, but it is too forceful.

The great Supernatural Ability beings of the Eastern Lands are alright, because Ao Tu only preaches in the Western Heaven, and the meaning of the scriptures is irrelevant to them.

The Western Heaven Supernatural Ability were somewhat dissatisfied.

However, neither the Six Sages nor the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother said anything.

There's an old saying in the Eastern Lands: "No fight, no friendship."

This means that people fight each other before they get to know each other; only those who survive the fight become acquainted.

When this Daoist Scriptures of the scripture came to Ao Tu's mind, it naturally meant that he was qualified to write Daoist Scriptures down.

Because those who are not qualified would never even entertain such a thought.

However, in the face of Great Calamity, not everyone can understand such a simple truth.

A Western Heaven Supernatural Ability, carefully choosing his words, tried to reason with Ao Tu and appeal to his emotions to persuade Ao Tu to revise the "Heavenly Scripture."

Meanwhile, the Sage Zhunti was also preparing to speak at this moment, to demonstrate his Sage attitude and coax a few more Great Luo Immortals into the Tribulation so that they could do things for him after they died.

After all, although the Eastern Migration of Buddhism had been decided long ago, outsiders did not know the full details.

The Western Heaven at this time is like the Three Pure Ones sect of the past.

How could the Two Sages of the Western Heaven simply separate their families like that?

Moreover, Buddhism originated in the Western Heaven and is rooted in Western Heaven soil.

Are we really no match for a mere New Religion from abroad?
