Chapter 1668 A Grand Reward for All
A small world, governed by the Mahayana Dao Lord, officially began to shine brightly in this boundless void.
In the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, many powerful beings were alarmed by the soaring, magnificent Daoist aura and the immense fluctuations of the world's advancement in the Immortal Gourd Realm.
The Palace Master of the Inner River Source Dao Palace exclaimed, "Fellow Daoists, have you all sensed it? Fellow Daoist Zhang Xuan has actually succeeded! Moreover, this Dao aura... is as profound and vast as a starry sea, and even has the aura of governing all laws! His Mahayana status, even in its initial stage, has already far surpassed yours and mine!"
Elder Ni Yuan Tianhe nodded slightly: "It's more than just a solid foundation! Carefully sense the ripples in that spacetime! His Great Dao can actually resonate with my Ni Yuan Dao Law! Such a level is unheard of! Senior You Wuyai... truly bestowed upon him a heaven-defying fortune!"
The sect leader of the Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect said with no small amount of envy, "Fortune?! It's more than just fortune! It's boundless wealth! A seventh-tier world! A thousand acres of seventh-tier spirit fields! Do you know what that means? Even our Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect only has three hundred acres of seventh-tier spirit fields nurtured by the seventh-tier spirit veins!"
The Ghost Emperor, who had been silent all along, said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang has now established his power and is a top-tier fighter in the Dragon Spine Divine Domain, which is a good thing. Now that the Immortal Lord is in seclusion, we should follow Fellow Daoist Zhang's lead in the future."
……
When the Mahayana path fruition is first formed, the seven-tiered world is completed.
The Immortal Gourd Realm did not immediately return to its former bustle; instead, it fell into a deeper silence. This was not deathly silence, but rather all things digesting the Daoist principles permeating the world.
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes, feeling the pulse of the world beneath his feet.
The seventh-tier spiritual vein possesses a trace of the aura of the Holy Ancient Heavenly Dragon. It stretches its magnificent body deep within the realm, and with each breath, it stirs up a surge of spiritual energy, nourishing all things.
"The Great Path of Gravity..."
He silently recited the mantra, gazing inwardly at the Great Dao Tree that had already undergone a qualitative change.
That completely solidified branch of the gravitational authority was dark and deep.
Wherever his divine thoughts reached, the surrounding space naturally curved slightly around him.
He could sense that the powers of the other branches had become more dynamic and profound precisely because of the complete stabilization of this gravitational power.
His gaze fell, looking down at the vast territory below.
The newly grown seventh-order spiritual fields, covering over a thousand acres, are imbued with innate Daoist charm.
The ancient and desolate atmosphere of Shangjing Immortal Mansion and the Secret Realm of the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been perfectly integrated into the mountains and rivers of this world, with no longer any barriers.
This advancement has not only increased the area of the Immortal Gourd Realm, but also the completeness of its laws and the abundance of its resources.
"The ruler of a realm, the supreme being of Mahayana... this time, my foundation is no longer a rootless duckweed." Zhang Xuan murmured to himself.
At the core of the Immortal Gourd Realm, the original sixth-order spirit field was now tinged with a faint purple-gold hue. As it advanced to the seventh-order spirit field, the concentration of spiritual energy increased by more than a hundred times!
Relying on this advancement in the Immortal Gourd Realm, Fairy Lingchen also pushed her cultivation to the half-step Integration Realm.
At this moment, she was looking at these newly formed seventh-order spirit fields with a joyful expression.
A seventh-tier spirit field is a sacred land that can cultivate medicinal herbs that are effective even for Mahayana cultivators!
This is an extremely scarce resource throughout the entire Dragonspine Divine Realm!
In addition, the Shangjing Immortal Mansion and the Secret Realm of the Classic of Mountains and Seas have been completely integrated with the Immortal Gourd Realm.
Now, beneath our feet lies a true seventh-order great world!
All of this was due to her husband's breakthrough to the Mahayana realm.
Lingchen Fairy was filled with excitement as she looked up at the direction her husband was advancing.
Zhang Xuan's other Daoist partners, as well as hundreds of his descendants and great-grandchildren, all looked at the place where Zhang Xuan advanced with reverence.
Ancestor Rongxiao stroked his beard and smiled, unable to hide his joy.
This advancement of the Dao Lord not only allowed him to break through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, but also granted him one hundred acres of seventh-grade spiritual fields.
"I've finally found the right person to latch onto!"
Three days later, the place where Dao Lords advance.
The cultivators were densely packed together, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Cultivators from the Immortal Gourd Realm, the Shattered Heavenly City, and various floating continents all gathered here.
No one made a sound; everyone spontaneously remained silent, and only the boundless vitality and Taoist charm flowed silently.
Zhang Xuan's figure appeared silently in front of everyone.
There were no rays of light, no celestial music playing.
He simply stood there, like a naturally existing embodiment of the Dao.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears and penetrated to the depths of their souls.
"Today we will not discuss supernatural powers or secret techniques, but only the Dao."
"Among all things, there is a great Dao. For those who cultivate, drawing qi into their bodies is the Dao; harnessing energy to strengthen oneself is also the Dao..."
The profound truths were spoken slowly and gently, and the listener felt as if bathed in a spring breeze.
The preaching lasted for seven days.
During these seven days, strange phenomena occurred beneath the World Tree.
Some cultivators suddenly burst forth with a powerful aura of breakthrough; some entered a deep state of enlightenment, tears streaming down their faces without them realizing it; some danced wildly, seemingly mad, yet their inner knots had been untied…
Ancestor Rongxiao's aura became increasingly refined, and the initial barrier of the Fusion Realm that had troubled him for hundreds of thousands of years became even more solid under the impact of the Dao Source True Meaning!
The illusory image of the Five Elements Creation Golden Lotus behind the Buddha King of the Western Paradise became increasingly solid, resonating more deeply with the Five Elements Origin of the Immortal Gourd Realm.
The night stars broke and then rose again, advancing to the next level of integration. Under the Mahayana preaching and the chanting of Brahma, the integrated state shone with an increasingly dazzling brilliance!
Jueyuan felt the vast Dao Source intent and realized that his own path of slaughter contained a trace of the true meaning of the Dao Source, making his realm more stable.
Even Fairy Lingchen gained a revolutionary understanding of the Dao of Spiritual Plants from the Daoist chants that expounded on the origin of the Dao, and vaguely touched upon the supreme realm of how to guide the evolution of the Dao principles of Spiritual Plants themselves.
As Zhang Xuan uttered his last word, the lingering sound echoed and merged into the heavens and earth.
The entire Immortal Gourd Realm fell into an even longer silence.
Immediately, bursts of breakthrough aura erupted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
Zhang Xuan looked down at the beings below, whose auras had been renewed and whose Dao hearts were more steadfast, and nodded slightly.
"The Dao has been passed down. How far you can go depends on your own destiny. You have made contributions to the advancement of the Immortal Gourd Realm. Today, we bestow rewards upon you."
His voice carried the supreme majesty of a Mahayana Dao Lord, and his gaze first fell on the radiant Rongxiao Ancestor.
"Ancestor Rongxiao, for your meritorious offering of the spiritual vein, you have broken through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. I hereby bestow upon you one hundred acres of seventh-grade spiritual fields. The land deed is here, to be passed down for eternity!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Xuan sent a purple land deed jade slip slowly flying toward Ancestor Rongxiao.
Ancestor Rongxiao accepted the jade slip with trembling hands, bowed deeply, and said, "This old man... thanks Daoist Lord for his generous gift!"
Zhang Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the three Nascent Soul cultivators: the Western Heaven Buddha King, Ye Xingchen, and Jueyuan.
He took out some rare and precious natural treasures that he no longer needed, which he had seized from the three Mahayana cultivators last time.
"The Buddha King of the Western Paradise bestows upon you the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to help you refine the Five Elements Great Dao and quickly attain Bodhi."
"Night Star, I bestow upon you three Seven-Colored Stones of Nirvana, to aid your rebirth and further advancement in your Nascent Soul stage!"
"Jueyuan, I bestow upon you one hundred catties of Star Forging Body Ointment and a wisp of Broken Army Star Fiend, to help you temper your battle body and stabilize your Integration Realm!"
"Thank you, Daojun (Commander)!" the three said in unison.
