The Steps. Are You Willing?
Just as everyone was shocked, the ten beams of light slowly receded.
Within the pillar of light, ten beams of light and shadow, each with a different shape, were revealed.
The leading gray-brown light and shadow was ancient and profound, representing the Primordial Origin Spirit. The azure light and shadow on the left was gentle and peaceful, representing the Northern Darkness Mystic Water True Spirit. The other eight light and shadows were arranged on both sides, each with a different aura, but without exception, they all carried the vast majesty of the innate earth veins.
Ancestral Vein True Spirit have arrived.
"The Ten True Spirits have arrived; I have failed to greet them properly. Please forgive me."
Zhang Jianchen strode forward and bowed respectfully to the ten figures of light.
The two Loose Immortal, Xuanjizi Yunyouzi, also nodded slightly to show their respect.
Even though Loose Immortal is already at the pinnacle in the mortal realm, they are still juniors before the Ancestral Vein of heaven and earth.
The Primordial Origin Spirit flickered slightly in return, its voice ancient and deep. "No need for formalities. We have come only to return to our Return to the Origin."
Its gaze swept across the hall, finally landing on the Primordial Dao Fruit above the Xuan Yu coffin. The light and shadow flickered a few times, as if it were filled with emotion.
Just then, the seven Dao Guardian moved.
The white-haired elder at the head of the group, along with the other six, stepped forward and bowed slightly to the ten True Spirits.
"Greetings, esteemed spirits of the earth veins." The old man's tone was calm, yet tinged with obvious respect. "We have been waiting for the matter of Return to the Origin for a long time. Your willingness to lend a hand is a great fortune to the Tianyuan Dao Realm."
This scene startled everyone in the hall once again.
Even the Dao Guardian show such reverence to the Ancestral Vein True Spirit?
It should be noted that these Dao Guardian do not even put the Demon Emperor in their eyes, and can easily repel Loose Immortal- level expert.
Such a person would actually pay homage to the Ancestral Vein True Spirit?
The Primordial Origin Spirit looked at the white-haired elder and slowly spoke, "Dao Guardian, you have diligently fulfilled your duties, holding the reins of the Return to the Origin to the origin will require your assistance to stabilize the will of the Dao Fruit."
"It's my duty." The old man nodded slightly.
In just a few words, the collaboration with Return to the Origin was finalized.
Seeing this scene, the last trace of doubt in the hearts of both the righteous and demonic factions dissipated.
Even the Dao Guardian have acknowledged it; the matter of Return to the Origin seems to be a done deal.
On the righteous side, everyone wore joyful expressions, rubbing their hands together in anticipation, waiting for the order to fully cooperate with the Return to the Origin Ceremony.
The atmosphere on the demonic path side was subtle.
The Demon Emperor stood before his throne, watching the scene of the Ten True Spirits and the Dao Guardian conversing happily. His fingers clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.
With all ten True Spirits present and even the Dao Guardian offering their full support, the probability of a successful Return to the Origin is much higher than he had anticipated.
If it really happens...
He took a deep breath, suppressing the jumbled thoughts in his mind.
No rush.
Listen to Li Yunjing's Return to the Origin Plan first, then make a decision.
Half an hour later, the core figures of both the righteous and demonic paths gathered in the center of the main hall.
Li Yunjing stood beside the Xuan Yu coffin, with a miniature version of the Five Aggregates Cauldron floating in front of him, its dark yellow light slowly flowing around it.
All eyes were on him.
There was expectation, doubt, scrutiny, and greed.
Li Yunjing remained calm, avoiding unnecessary formalities and getting straight to the point:
The "Return to the Origin Ceremony" consists of four steps.
"The first step is to anchor the earth veins. The ten Ancestral Vein True Spirit each occupy the ten directions, using their own origins as a guide to connect the earth veins of the world and set up the Ten Directions Realm-Suppressing Grand Formation."
This formation is the foundation; it can stabilize the earth's ley line tremors during the Return to the Origin and prevent the power from leaking out and alarming the upper realm.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten True Spirits nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.
"The second step is to communicate with the Dao Fruit. The Origin Dao Physique, the Yuanchu Elder, uses the same origin as the guide to communicate with the Dao Fruit's will, soothe its spirituality, and guide it to voluntarily disperse into the world."
The Dao Fruit possesses a spirit; forcibly dispersing it will only trigger an explosion, rendering all previous efforts futile. It must be allowed to Return to the Origin on its own.
All eyes turned to Yuanchu.
Yuanchu, dressed in white, stood quietly beside Li Yunjing, his expression serene, his entire being exuding an innate Daoist aura.
Sensing the gazes of the crowd, he simply nodded slightly without saying a word.
"The third step is to conceal the secrets of heaven. I will activate the Five Aggregates Cauldron to set up Innate Concealment Grand Formation to conceal the aura and fluctuations of the entire process of Return to the Origin."
"Ensure that the Return to the Origin is completed without being detected by the Upper Realm Inspector."
These words caused a low murmur of surprise in the hall.
"The Five Aggregates Cauldron?!"
"The cauldron in Sect Leader Li's hand is actually that legendary Immortal Artifact?"
"No wonder... no wonder they were confident they could deceive the higher realms!"
"..."
The way everyone looked at the Five Aggregates Cauldron instantly changed.
The legend of the Five Aggregates Cauldron was not only spread throughout Flying Immortal Prefecture, but also widely circulated throughout Tianyuan.
Therefore, it would be impossible for everyone not to be surprised when they learned that Li Yunjing had obtained the legendary Immortal Artifact!
Yan Tianjin's pupils also contracted sharply as he stared at the ancient cauldron, a hint of undisguised greed flashing in his eyes.
Immortal Artifact!
There isn't another such treasure in the entire Tianyuan Dao Realm!
What incredible luck did Li Yunjing have to get such a treasure?
He suppressed his greed and continued listening.
"The fourth step is to return to the origin. Dao Fruit is completely dispersed, the ten Ancestral Vein exert their power simultaneously, guiding the power of the origin to be evenly integrated into the earth veins, Spiritual Qi, and all things."
At that time, the Principle of heaven and earth will be perfected on their own, the boundary walls will be upgraded, and the entire Dao Realm will leap forward.
The entire process takes approximately three hours, during which no external interference is permissible; otherwise, at best, all efforts will be in vain, and at worst, the earth's veins will collapse, severely damaging the Dao Realm.
After Li Yunjing finished speaking, his gaze swept across the entire room:
"These are all the steps of the Return to the Origin Ceremony."
"After the event is completed, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will increase by at least three times, the upper limit of the earth's veins will double, the bottleneck of cultivation will be greatly loosened, and the barriers of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and the Loose Immortal stage will also be weakened."
Both the righteous and the demonic paths can benefit all living beings.
"The cycle of cleansing that occurs once every 100,000 years will also come to a complete end, and there will never again be corpses strewn across the fields and lives lost due to the struggle for Dao Fruit."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Everyone is processing this information.
Triple the Spiritual Qi!
End the cycle of reincarnation!
These two conditions are enough to tempt any cultivator.
"We are willing to fully cooperate with Sect Leader Li!"
Purple Yang Sect Zhou Ziyang was the first to step forward, his voice booming, "Return to the Origin is a great undertaking for all ages! The entire Purple Yang Sect awaits your command!"
"Our Heavenly Sword Sect is also willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
"The Pill Cauldron Sect is willing to provide full support in the form of medicinal pills!"
"The Star Sect is willing to be the vanguard and protect the grand ceremony!"
The major righteous sects all expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere was electric.
No one would refuse such a good thing.
Compared to the illusory prospect of monopolizing the Dao Fruit, this kind of visible, tangible improvement that everyone can share is obviously more reliable and reassuring.
Zhang Jianchen nodded in satisfaction and looked at the demonic faction on the west side. "Demon Emperor, what do you think?"
All eyes instantly focused on Yan Tianjin.
The Return to the Origin Ceremony requires absolute silence and must not be disturbed by any external forces.
If the demonic path interferes, the trouble will be immense.
The Demon Emperor did not answer immediately.
He stood before the throne, his black robe trailing to the ground, demonic energy surging around him, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became tense again.
After a long silence, the Demon Emperor finally spoke, his voice cold and icy:
"After Return to the Origin, everyone will benefit? Why should I believe you?"
"The Demon Emperor can sense it," Li Yunjing said calmly. "With the Ten Ancestral Vein here, the Dao Guardian here, so many eyes watching, and so many powerful figures overseeing this, I have no reason to lie."
"Moreover, Return to the Origin is also beneficial to the demonic path. After the Spiritual Qi is enhanced, Devil Cultivator can also break through faster."
With the earth's veins stabilized, the demonic energy in your Myriad Devil Abyss will become even more concentrated. All things considered, the demonic path won't suffer a loss."
