I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 190: Chapter 186: Dao Sovereign of the World

```

Yuan City.

A small county town in the eastern part of Green State.

Early morning.

A mist shrouded the air.

On the benches outside the breakfast stall, a number of commoners were sitting.

Sipping soy milk and dipping youtiao, they chatted with acquaintances about recent interesting news, while several children chased each other around the tables, their laughter ringing clear.

Though the county magistrate could not boast of being as pure as the driven wind, he was not so corrupt as to scrape the ground for three feet, and the town's commoners lived fairly well.

Suddenly.

Boundless enlightenment clouds floated over from the sky, and the yet-to-brighten sky again turned gloomy and dark.

"How can the weather change so abruptly?"

The speaker was a stocky man, who hurriedly gulped down his soy milk, fished out a copper coin from his pocket, and raised his hand, about to call for the proprietress.

Whoosh—

A chill wind blew by, instantly dissipating the warmth of the spring day, and a ghastly aura swept across the entire county town.

The man ready to pay felt a stiffness in his lower body and looked down only to see frost spreading from his legs upward. Before he could even cry out in pain, he was completely sealed by the freezing ice.

Threads of life force, qi-blood, and primordial spirit scattered and converged into the dark clouds above.

Living humans were turned into skeletons in the blink of an eye, still maintaining their last action of giving money. It was the same with everyone around, including the playing children who fell to the ground, their skeletons unable to support the weight of their upper bodies, shattering upon impact.

The boundless dark clouds, having devoured the souls of the entire city, continued to drift onwards.

At this moment.

A streak of fire flew in from the east, stopping tens of miles away from the dark clouds, revealing its form to be Xiao Tiezhu.

"Senior Jian Xuan, you've succumbed to the demonic path!"

"Is that you?"

Jian Xuan's voice emanated from the clouds, grand and mighty as if countless people were speaking in unison, "A mere junior, without the protection of the fortune of heaven and earth, dares to interfere with my affairs?"

"So, has Senior reached a point of no return?"

Xiao Tiezhu's Divine Fire Fan unfolded in the wind, stretching to about three and two-thirds feet, and its fierce divine fire burned away the ghastly chill.

"Junior, had you not instigated the great war between the righteous and the demonic, how would I have fallen to such a state? I had intended to spare your life, but since you've come to me, it's perfect for my blood sacrifice!"

As Jian Chen spoke, he controlled the vast dark clouds to swoop down and attack.

The gloomy fog covering several hundred miles seemed endless, and Xiao Tiezhu appeared tiny as an ant in comparison.

"Evil demon, you shall be purged!"

Xiao Tiezhu's expression was solemn as he swung the Divine Fire Fan repeatedly, sending hundreds of fire dragons roaring towards the dark clouds.

A transparent sword light appeared behind Xiao Tiezhu, quietly piercing through his heart, shattering his internal organs, leaving a hole the size of a human head all the way through.

His life force rapidly fading, Xiao Tiezhu incredulously glanced at his chest before falling from the sky.

"Hehehe! The world only knows of the Light Dividing Sword's renown, the Sect-Defending Supreme Treasure of the Spirit Sword Sect, but they do not know that what I've refined is the Ancient Formless Sword!"

Jian Xuan stood above the dark clouds, waving his hand to draw Xiao Tiezhu's corpse towards him, "A mere Nascent Soul dares to challenge me. If it weren't for the protection of fate back then, you would not have been in charge of the righteous path, and the Dan Cauldron Sect would have long been annihilated."

"Pity, a dead Nascent Soul, qi-blood and primordial spirit mostly depleted!"

As he spoke, the mark on his forehead shone with divine light, enshrouding Xiao Tiezhu's corpse, attempting to refine it.

Suddenly, Xiao Tiezhu's eyes snapped open, his life force reversing from death to life, and he spat out a Treasure Bead that eradicated demons, blasting it at close range onto Jian Xuan's head.

Boom!

Jian Xuan's head instantly burst, and the overpowering force of the Treasure Bead sent Xiao Tiezhu flying for miles.

"Ahh!"

A shrill scream resounded as a three-foot-long primordial spirit escaped from Jian Xuan's body and fled into the distance without regard for vengeance against Xiao Tiezhu.

"Fellow Daoist, please halt!"

Xiao Tiezhu's body flashed with blood light as he consumed his essence blood and lifespan, transforming into a red fleeing light in pursuit of the primordial spirit.

Jian Xuan, already struggling to hang on, did not dare to burn his lifespan. Seeing the chasing light approaching from behind, he abandoned his pride and pleaded, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, spare my life! You and I have no deep hatred, and I am willing to impart to you the Disaster Avoidance Secret Art."

"A mere blood sacrifice life-extending dark art!"

```

Xiao Tiezhu sneered, "I have three spells like this in my hand, including the secret techniques passed down by the Severing Heaven Sect. Why would I need anything you give?"

While speaking, he waved his hand and cast several bolts of lightning, incessantly attacking the nascent soul, which became increasingly ethereal.

Jian Xuan screamed in shock, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, heaven only wants to use you to sever the ancestral lineage. Now that your destiny has dissipated, and you see yourself halted at the Nascent Soul stage, why push yourself so desperately?"

"I care not for the dissipation of destiny, nor will I resent heaven and earth..."

Xiao Tiezhu's escape speed increased yet again, "I merely believe that demons who commit evil must be executed!"

The Divine Fire Fan swept down upon Jian Chen, the ferocious flames continuously engulfing the nascent soul, which screamed for a long time before finally being utterly extinguished.

Spurt!

Xiao Tiezhu could hold it no longer, his mouth spewing forth lifeblood, his complexion as pale as frost, his vitality flagging.

"Fortunately, this scoundrel coveted my corpse. Had he truly enacted spells to destroy the body and obliterate traces, even the Substitute Talisman wouldn't be able to save me. This goes to show that heaven still looks after us!"

Wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, he transformed into a beam of light fleeing toward Cloud Continent.

...

Over a hundred cities in Green State turned into ghost monsters, such a terrifying event could not be concealed.

Pushed by the Dan Ding Sect, the truth spread quickly throughout the Nine Continents.

Spirit Sword Sect's Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch Jian Xuan fell to the demonic path, blood sacrificed the human race of Green State for longevity, and ultimately died under the Divine Fire Fan of Xuan Xiao Daojun.

At the same time, the Dan Ding Sect spread the words of Xuan Xiao Daojun throughout the Cultivation World, that he would not meddle in the killings and conflicts between cultivators, not even if they involved blood sacrifices and sect annihilation, but would show no mercy to those who bring havoc upon the common folk!

The Nascent Soul ancestors with malicious intents, at this moment, fell silent.

Seeing the disparity in strength with the Heavenly Monarchs, and recalling the gap in lifespan with Xuan Xiao, hearts turned to ash.

Yizhou, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

The sounds of chanting sutras and the wooden fish drums resonated, with the dazzling Buddhist light visible from miles away.

The rear mountain.

A nondescript small temple with gray tiles and green bricks.

"Master, that Xuan Xiao who defied the Heavens and cut down a Heavenly Monarch must have suffered grave injuries, this is a golden opportunity for Buddhism!"

With a solemn expression and in a deep voice, Fa Ming said, "The demonic path and Yi Qi Sect have sealed themselves with secret techniques. If they survive the great disaster and rebuild their legacy, where will Buddhism stand?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Miao Shan chanted the Buddha's name, with hands clasped together and a compassionate face, "If I do not enter hell, who will? Go and investigate thoroughly, ensure that Xuan Xiao has indeed suffered grave injuries, and this monk, along with thousands of Buddhist cultivators, will proceed to the Ultimate Bliss of the Western Paradise!"

With the dispersal of Spiritual Energy to this day, the Cultivation World was no longer as prosperous as it once was, relying solely on Buddhist cultivators, who could not muster the numbers for a blood sacrifice.

More than thirty years passed in a blink of an eye.

Distressing news repeatedly emerged from the Dan Ding Sect that Xuan Xiao, gravely wounded, was dying, barely maintaining his life with the sect's elixirs.

When the Dharma Hearing God Monk's lifespan was nearly exhausted, he used the pretext of the past joint campaign against the demonic path to visit and say farewell, finally seeing the barely breathing Xuan Xiao Daojun with his own eyes.

Several years later. Stay tuned with M V L

Buddhism held a grand Water and Land Dharma Assembly, inviting millions of followers to gather at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Before the Dharma Assembly even began, the skies filled with firelight and Buddhistic radiance covering Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. The battle of spells between the two sides lasted for dozens of days, with half of Miao Shan's golden body falling.

...

Earth Fire Palace.

It was desolate and chill, as if forgotten by the world.

The changing winds and clouds of the outer world had nothing to do with Zhou Yi, who was wholly devoted to ripening the Jian Mu tree and organizing the Daoist scriptures.

The Jian Mu had already grown three feet tall, its straight, purple stem lacking branches, sprouting fresh buds.

Zhou Yi used his lifespan to condense Creation Dew, dripping it over the Jian Mu tree, thereafter emanating a tumultuous surge of Spiritual Energy. A small part of it was used to maintain the Formations and Prohibitions, the majority was again transformed into Mana.

"There are still plenty of Spiritual Objects in the storage bag, the Jian Mu could at least be urged to grow nine feet, ensuring Golden Core cultivation level in the future won't be difficult!"

Zhou Yi's face showed delight; ninety years of solitary seclusion had finally begun to show promise for the art of avoidance.

He picked up a divination container by his side and cast the small Severing Heaven technique.

The divining sticks fell to the ground.

The luminance flared and solidified into characters, a sign of great auspiciousness!
