Chapter 2402 The Great Dao Returns to the Lotus of Myriad Paths (Part 1)
Chaotic deep space.
Meng Sheng waved his robes and bowed deeply from afar: "Junior Meng Sheng pays respects to Senior, and wishes Senior a swift ascension to immortality!!!"
Chen Xun's pupils contracted sharply again, his lips trembled involuntarily, and he was so shocked that he lost his mind for a moment.
wrong.
That place is now the ancient immortal realm!
That place is not some otherworldly realm, nor any illusion of time; this appearance is not something he created in his mind, but reality!
Meng Sheng attained the Dao and became a true immortal...
They've been brought back to life!

Chen Xun made a strange sound. Although his expression was still indifferent to the point of being inanimate, his once most resolute Five Elements Immortal Eyes now flickered with the most complex emotions in the mortal world.
The Five Elements Immortal Realm in the Azure Sky.
A giant toad wearing a straw hat slightly raised his hat, looked at the Dharma image reflecting the heavens and the celestial realm, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "...Croak, Chen Xun, it seems that this Daoist has not arrived late, but rather at the perfect time."
call!
The howling wind stirred the dust-covered grass at the corner of his mouth, and also stirred the withered years that had been sealed in Chen Xun's heart for tens of millions of years.
Thousands of mountains.
"You old scoundrel!!!"
Amidst the howling of the mountains, only one voice, filled with laughter and curses, lingered for a long time, finally coalescing into a soaring celestial sound: "I've returned to see you all!"
……
The ancient mountains and rivers stretch for thousands of miles.
Various voices continuously emanated from 'mysterious figures' towards Chen Xun. What seemed ordinary back then now carried the weight of countless ages and profound meaning. Countless voices long sealed within Chen Xun's heart quietly awakened; they had returned...
now.
For some reason, Chen Xun couldn't utter a word for a long time. His expression remained one of utter shock, as if he were stunned into a daze. Only the strange 'crackling' sound echoed from his throat.
"Moo~~~!"
The great black bull roared, instantly impacting Chen Xun's mind.
a long time.
Chen Xun burst into laughter, a sound so loud it shook the heavens and the entire Chaos Sea. It was hearty, melodious, clear, and indescribable, as if this was the first time in tens of millions of years that Chen Xun had laughed from the bottom of his heart.
No one could have imagined that the mighty Five Elements Dao Ancestor had actually forgotten how to laugh heartily, a truly genuine and unrestrained laugh...
Laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and celestial splendor swept across the nine heavens like waves.
He exhaled a deep breath of turbid air, which at that moment seemed to be exhaled from the deepest part of the celestial realm.
He slowly closed his eyes, his blood energy resonating with the Five Elements Dao.
next moment.
Chen Xun unleashed an overwhelming aura of dominance, soaring into the sky, impervious to all calamities. With a sword in hand, he swept away all obstacles in his path. His Dao heart was clear and bright, and he pressed forward without hesitation.
In an instant, the world changed color, and countless lightning tribulations froze.
boom! ! !
He roared and shattered the sea of thunder with his fist!
The light of countless eons exploded into fragments of stars, which then transformed into countless showers of light that fell upon the celestial realm.
At this moment, the chaotic sea burned white, and heaven and earth were revived.
The three thousand great paths resounded once more—
Even more spectacular than before!
The Daoist sound soared to the heavens, piercing through the past, present, and future, resonating throughout the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
Chen Xun bathed in thunder and fire, ascending step by step.
The Milky Way splits itself to form a bridge, and the great road converges itself to form a road.
Countless laws flow and regenerate around him.
"Proving the Dao—True Immortal!"
The moment the sound landed, the entire Immortal Realm seemed to explode in flames!
Mountains and rivers bloom, creation returns, and all living things rejoice.
The vast and incomparable celestial flower, formed by the convergence of countless vital energies, slowly blooms in the void. It is the original rootless flower of vital energy that has achieved a sublimation of the world!
—Chen Xun stands in the heart of the flower.
—All paths lead to lotus blossoms, and the Great Dao returns to one!
Spring returns to the world.
The chaotic sea is silent, and the heavenly drums sound once more.
That sound was no longer a warning, but a celebration.
The Five Elements Dao Ancestor attained true immortality!
No one knew that at the moment he attained enlightenment, all the great paths beyond the heavens bent and twisted.
The figure in hemp robes stood atop the highest celestial palace, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down upon the heavens with a vast and serene expression in his eyes.
Where the wind passes, the heavens and earth shine, and all things flow and turn.
He murmured softly:
"The road of life is so long and magnificent. Wait, strive, and there will be results."
—At this moment, all three thousand great paths bowed down.
—At this moment, all the spirits of the celestial realm cried out in unison:
"Congratulations to the Five Elements Dao Ancestor on attaining the Dao and becoming a True Immortal!"
"Greetings, Five Elements Immortal Venerable!!"
boom--
The final thud of the sound drum was like a resounding final note that shook the heavens.
The chaotic sea gradually calmed down, and the light of calamity dissipated.
Instead, an indescribable auspicious glow spread from beneath Chen Xun's feet.
That was the "echo" of heaven and earth.
It was not thunder, nor wind, but the throbbing of the very source of all things.
Golden light surged like a tide, and ethereal energy cascaded like a waterfall.
At this moment, all three thousand immortal realms, countless worlds, and three thousand universes resonated in a strange way.
The once desolate spiritual land has been revived, the once shattered star field has been reunited, and the once dim Milky Way has begun to flow with light again.
Mountains and rivers have spirits.
The great way has a voice.
Countless ancient divine steles, ancestral immortal bells, and celestial towers, which had been dormant for so long, trembled in unison with a series of low chimes. The immortal realm was about to undergo a tremendous expansion and usher in a new era.
And the Dao sounds of these countless celestial treasures all seemed to be responding to the new era of heaven and earth brought about by that one person's attainment of the Dao.
"The Dao Ancestor... proved himself a true immortal."
Sound, transcending billions of realms, flows into the ears of all living things.
This voice made no announcement, no command, yet it possessed an unquestionable power.
It seems to come from the heart of heaven, and also from the depths of every soul.
In that instant,
Countless creatures knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with excitement.
For some unknown reason, they felt their spiritual roots vibrating and their Dao seeds awakening. They felt they had received the blessings of the Dao Ancestor and should give back.
The myriad realms of the spirit world.
The mountains and rivers began to rise.
The river reflected the five-colored divine light, and even the wind carried a touch of gentle, ethereal beauty.
Countless celestial flowers and trees grow from the void, blooming throughout the myriad realms and continents of the immortal world.
Those ancient immortal sects buried by time, those broken cave ruins, are now all shrouded in light and flames.
The broken walls were rejoined, and the remaining stele was restored to its former glory.
The three thousand Dao Seas of the Immortal Realm no longer roared wildly, but flowed peacefully.
They are no longer the cold, indifferent rules of heaven and earth, but have transformed into a perceptible "source of creation," surging between all realms of the immortal world.
The myriad laws, like silk threads, mist, and rain, descended upon every corner of the Immortal Realm.
The rain was pouring down, but there was no dampness.
This is a rain of creation.
Wherever it passes, withered trees sprout new life, and lingering souls are awakened.
Mortals gain spiritual awareness, while immortals comprehend their true nature.
The world is no longer cold.
The people are no longer alone.
This is the scene of "blessings" bestowed by Heaven after a true immortal attains enlightenment.
And atop the highest heavenly palace, Chen Xun stood alone.
His form was no longer that of flesh and blood, but rather a true form condensed from the light of the Dao.
The hempen robe fluttered without wind, revealing a vast landscape behind it.
The image depicts the Five Sacred Mountains guarding the heavens, the primordial light of creation, and the beginning of a new cycle of reincarnation.
That was the ultimate evolution of the Five Elements Dao, transforming into a new rule and order for the Immortal Realm.
Heaven and earth resounded once more.
The Three Thousand Great Daos now resembled subjects, swirling around Chen Xun's figure.
Some transformed into flying rainbows.
Some have turned into ancient trees.
Some even transformed into celestial script and talismans, wandering through the void and carving new "Daoist patterns."
Metal governs and stabilizes, Wood generates and brings forth life, Water flows and spreads, Fire ignites life, and Earth carries all things.
This is a new law of heaven and earth, the Five Elements law perfected by Chen Xun, a new foundation of heaven and earth.
"Moo~~!"
The bellow of the ox pierced the clouds, echoing endlessly.
The Great Road resounded one last time—
That sound was like a baby's cry, like the first light of dawn, like a newborn.
—A new era in the immortal realm has begun.
After that, no one remembered what the words "true immortal" had ever meant.
Because all they know is that from that day onwards.
When Heaven and Earth have a Daoist ancestor, all things arise.
If Heaven and Earth had no Daoist ancestor, then all things would perish.
But what the other magnificent immortal realms of the Celestial Realm are unaware of is...
From this day forward, an unpredictable and earth-shattering upheaval is taking place throughout the vast Chaotic Sea, with an impact so great that it could move mountains and overturn seas.
And above the sky.
A figure stood with his hands behind his back, the wind ruffling the hem of his robes, and he said calmly:
"...System, add points!"
