Chapter 2368 Immortal Venerable Nanhua

Another calamity strikes.

This time, the calamity did not descend from the sky, but rather ignited from within the heavens and earth.

The spiritual energy of countless mountains, the ancient springs at the bottom of the sea, and the fragments of stars in the sky all converged at this moment, transforming into a raging inferno that engulfed Nanhua.

All living beings looked upon it as if witnessing the burning of heaven and earth.

The entire immortal realm is witnessing this moment, and all things in heaven and earth are beginning to reflect the magnificent scene of ascension to immortality in the southern land of Tianque.

All those with a heart for the Way were deeply moved.

The secluded caves of countless ancient beings opened automatically at this moment, and billions of living beings, regardless of their cultivation level, were all shaken, as if a single thought of theirs had been stirred and a mysterious connection had been formed with the being that was transforming into the heavens.

That is the heart of heaven—resonating with the heart of the soul.

Three thousand fairylands.

"Who is proving the truth?!"

"This is utterly absurd and utterly absurd!!"

"Why is it that none of the three thousand immortal realms have produced a true immortal, while these native beings of the immortal realms have repeatedly attained the Dao of True Immortal?"

"Don't you all know that the destiny of our Three Thousand Immortal Realms was destroyed in ancient times, which destined this day?"

"Wasn't it the Five Elements Dao Ancestor who single-handedly created this era?"

"Our Three Thousand Immortal Realms have always been suppressed by Heaven and Earth. We are pioneers of the Great Dao and saints of the Immortal Path, but we are ultimately lacking that bit of luck and that bit of opportunity. Of the forty-nine Heavenly Evolutions, one has been lost. The one who controls the remaining one is the Five Elements Dao Ancestor."

"I'm furious...!"

……

The Immortal Realm has once again welcomed its second Dao Prover. However, the countless powerful beings in the Three Thousand Immortal Domains have extremely gloomy expressions. They always feel that there are obstacles blocking their path ahead, and that they are just one step away from achieving enlightenment. Over the years, they have collected countless pieces of information.

Half of them...!

All of these are related to that Five Elements Dao Ancestor.

But, now.

They seem to be able to listen to the voice of heaven only in their own homes.

"The Great Dao is ruthless, regarding me as Heaven..."

The celestial dome reflected the endless flames of calamity, igniting half of the celestial realm. From the depths of the flames, came the deep voice of Nan Hua, spreading throughout the myriad realms of the celestial realm.

The sound did not penetrate the void, but directly shook the minds of all living beings, allowing every creature to hear it in their minds.

Many cultivators of ordinary cultivation levels were dumbfounded, and at the same time, many absurd things happened.

The celestial image of Nan Hua illuminated the heavens and earth, like a Dharma image projected into the heavens, even carrying the shadow of time. Then his celestial image became blurred, with only a wisp of true spirit rising in the fire. That wisp of true spirit made Chen Xun lose his mind for a long time.

Truly miraculous... born of nature and nurtured by heaven and earth.

He now knows this method, but back then he only saw the method of transforming his body into a true spirit from Ouyang Boxiao. This method is extremely powerful and can be called the ultimate life-saving method. Back then, even he could only trick the true spirit out to kill it.

Above the True Spirit of Nanhua hangs the Myriad Manifestations of the Great Dao, where countless rules have been sublimated into laws.

They constantly intertwine, swirl, and vibrate, as if reshaping the celestial realm, but... more importantly, they are evolving how the celestial realm and its landscape came to be.

This scene ignited the fervor of all the immortals in the celestial realm, and many even sought enlightenment on the spot. Compared to the first true immortal's destiny back then, this kind of destiny clearly had a greater impact and allowed cultivators to gain deeper insights.

Buzz! boom!

The heavenly sounds continued to reverberate, and the four seas of the Immortal Realm churned. The cultivators of the myriad races of the Eternal Immortal Realm seemed to be different this time than before. Their gazes were now being cast beyond the Immortal Realm, rather than focusing on their own heavenly realms within their own territories.

This time, the power of a true immortal was no longer able to affect the eternal world!

No one knew about this change, except for Fang Chen'ai who sensed a slight hint of it. But in an instant, Nangong Heling's warning gaze shot over, threatening to draw blood again if he dared to spy on him again!

Fang Chen'ai took a deep breath, his gaze turning slightly colder, and continued to look up at the sky.

Three days later.

The celestial realm underwent a great change, as if every law of heaven and earth had been swallowed into Nan Hua's spiritual consciousness.

That is to swallow all the rules governing the operation of "heaven and earth" into one's own soul.

Some people saw his immortal body disintegrate and assumed he had perished.

"Moo?!" The big black ox's eyes widened. It was one of them, as if it saw that Nanhua had been burned to ashes and had failed and perished.

But Chen Xun raised his hand and pointed, and a silent beam of light fell into the depths of the calamity fire.

He is not dead.

"Heaven is shaping him."

The voice was soft, yet it resonated throughout the nine realms.

Sure enough, in the center of that sea of ​​fire, a wisp of spiritual light began to circulate, growing brighter and brighter, and took on a human form. That wisp of spiritual root was unusually strange, neither immortal energy nor any kind of immortal aura.

"Spiritual energy..."

Chen Xun seemed to have realized something, “Indeed, spiritual energy is the foundation of all spirits, while immortal energy is ultimately a later development, not the source.”

Nan Hua's image reappeared, but this time he was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but a "celestial body" formed from countless rules and starlight.

With each breath he took, the mountains and rivers seemed to tremble.

His gaze swept across the sky, causing the sun and moon to shine brightly, and even shaking the heavens.

"Fellow Daoist Nanhua..." Fang Chen'ai seemed to be suppressing something, but his tone was unusually restrained and polite.

Nan Hua looked down at him with a hint of disdain, ignoring him completely.

With a wave of his hand, the Four Extremes Dao Patterns descended from the void, causing even the trajectory of the heavens and earth to tremble.

At that moment, all the powerful beings in the celestial realm looked up simultaneously.

Even the most powerful ancient immortals from beyond the realm showed unprecedented shock and fear.

"...The second True Immortal has descended upon the Immortal Realm!"

Someone murmured.

"Hehe, it seems that the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm is no longer an illusion."

Chen Xun smiled with satisfaction, watching the figure slowly rising in the river of light, "This Dao Ancestor has had high hopes for you since you were a child."

Behind Nan Hua, the fate of all living beings in the entire Southern Land was rising, its aura spanning the East and West, and even the Earthly Frontier, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, and the Three Thousand Immortal States faintly sensed the pressure of the reshaping of the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

The celestial realm has a new "heaven".

The Way of Heaven resounds.

Countless Dharma sounds came from the dome, like ancient scriptures flowing from beyond the ages.

Some sounds resembled the ringing of bells and chimes, others like human speech, but most were an indescribable tremor that forced the souls of all living beings to submit.

"All things have no master, but the Way of Heaven has its own body."

The ancient sounds echoed and lingered for a long time.

That was not what Nan Hua said, but rather what Heaven himself recited.

Chen Xun's gaze was complex, a hint of unspoken relief surfacing in his expression. He had finally taken another step forward...

The surrounding endless winds and clouds swirled, the order of heaven and earth was rearranged, and the threads of cause and effect intertwined to create a brand new immortal picture.

Nan Hua stands suspended in the center of the heavens, his eyes slightly closed, with countless rivers of light flowing within him.

At this moment, he is both a cultivator and the heavens.

He parted his lips slightly: "This body... was born for the Heavenly Dao, and also takes the Heavenly Dao as its tribulation."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky suddenly brightened, and an incomparably vast beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the nine heavens and illuminating all the immortal realms.

In the celestial light, all things ceased—the wind stopped, the sea froze, and time itself seemed to stand still for a moment.

All immortals, mortals, demons, ancient gods, and even the remnant souls scattered in the corners of the starry sky witnessed that scene simultaneously.

—That is the new true immortal of the celestial realm, the Immortal Venerable of Nanhua, standing at the pinnacle of the heavens.

Before he even spoke, the world moved in accordance with his will.

He didn't raise his hand, yet lightning arose from his thoughts.

He remained unmoved, and the stars did not turn.

Chen Xun stood quietly in the distance for a long time before finally retrieving the Five Elements Seal.

The once turbulent southern lands of Tianque were now calm and the clouds had dispersed, with billions of celestial lights converging in the sky, as brilliant as the sea.

All beings looked up and saw a figure standing above all paths, his robes fluttering without wind, his hair flowing like rosy clouds in the wind, and his eyes reflecting the entire immortal realm.

Boom!

Just as the world was still, a sudden, earth-shaking tremor, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing, came from the void.

It was an aura of desolation and decay.

A magnificent golden palace slowly emerged from the aura, praised by heaven and earth, and worshipped by all spirits.

That was the glorious era of the Great Purple Heaven Palace.

now.

This palace has miraculously reappeared in the world.

Countless figures also appeared inside the palace; they were disciples and grand-disciples of Nanhua.

And among countless figures.

Another figure, whose expression was one of utter shock, exclaimed: "The Dao...the Dao Ancestor?!"

"Hehe, Chongque, it's me." Chen Xun suddenly looked up, his expression seemingly calm and collected, but his voice trembled slightly as he laughed loudly, "You're back, kid?"

"Dao Ancestor!" Chong Que's expression instantly became excited.

The sky.

Nan Hua, who had been enjoying himself and immersed in the wonders of the immortals, suddenly darkened. He was the one who had saved him, so why did this brat only have the Dao Ancestor in his eyes?!

His sudden outburst of anger was like the wrath of heaven, as if a catastrophe was about to befall the world:

"...traitor!!"
