Chapter 1790 The Secret of the Immortal Path of New Life
The distribution of the spoils was accepted by all throughout the Nine Realms.
It has the recognition of the supreme authority of the Golden Immortal, the fairness of the merit system, and the benefits that extend to all cultivators.
Next, the nine divine realms were immersed in a highly efficient and busy state.
The upgrade of the Immortal Refining Array was launched in a grand and spectacular manner, attracting array masters from all regions.
The compilation and research of cultivation methods and classic texts have become a hot topic for various universities, temples, and sects.
The Mahayana cultivators who obtained the Heavenly Treasures went into seclusion to adapt, and their combat strength steadily improved.
The wounded recovered quickly in the secret realm, and some even benefited from the misfortune, making progress in their cultivation.
As the headquarters and resource center of the allied forces, the Immortal Gourd Realm is unprecedentedly prosperous, with cultivators from various regions coming and going every day to trade, exchange, and accept missions.
The interrogation and screening of the captured remnants of the Demon Abyss and the surrendered soldiers of the Three Pure Ones were also being carried out in an orderly manner to further extract their intelligence value.
A cataclysmic demonic calamity that nearly destroyed the world has finally come to a complete end.
The nine divine realms not only survived, but also gained unprecedented resources for development through this trial by fire.
However, everyone knows that the crisis is not completely over.
The wisp of Taiyi Calamity Immortal Mechanism that the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils was fleeing towards the Abyss of Primordial Demons was like a sharp sword hanging over his head.
The threats from the Abyss of Primordial Demons and the Three Pure Immortal Realms are far from over.
An even bigger storm may be brewing on a distant horizon.
But at least for now, the nine divine realms have gained a precious respite and a chance to develop.
Deep within the Immortal Gourd Realm lies a healing secret realm constructed from endless chaotic energy and innate essence.
Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. His aura was no longer weak and feeble during the great battle, but instead exuded a restrained and profound sense of weight.
This is not only about healing wounds, but also about a profound process of reflection and transformation.
His mind sank into the chaotic divine sea of the inner world.
Deep within the Chaos Sea lies a celestial path that exudes an indescribable aura of antiquity and transcendence.
It was during that life-or-death ordeal that his own nascent path to immortality was forcibly merged with the ancient and broken path to immortality within the dragon coffin, forming a new path to immortality!
This immortal path is not yet complete; chaotic currents still surge at the broken points.
But it lies quietly above the Chaotic Divine Sea, one end seemingly rooted deep within the sea, connected to his Immortal Burial Foundation and the origin of the Great Dao Tree.
The other end points to the unknowable distance, piercing through the barriers of the inner world and extending beyond the myriad realms.
The road is woven from countless tiny yet profound runes and traces of Dao principles.
These marks are not man-made, but rather natural imprints left by the evolution of the Dao.
Zhang Xuan's spiritual consciousness cautiously embarked on this new path to immortality.
The moment he stepped in, he felt an indescribable pull.
Occasionally, extremely blurry afterimages would appear in the chaotic air currents of the void where the Immortal Path was located.
There are glorious moments of stars collapsing, grand scenes of ancient beings offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and incomprehensible chains of law weaving in the void...
The images are all fragmented and jumping pieces.
He slowly walked along the immortal path, trying to find out the source of this immortal path.
As he delved deeper, his understanding of the Immortal Path also deepened.
This immortal path is more like a manifestation of the "Tao," a passage connecting immortal paths at different levels and even in different eras.
Why would a broken immortal path appear in the dragon coffin and the myriad phenomena of the universe?
Is this the fusion of two nascent paths to immortality?
To whom does this immortal path truly belong?
Where is it headed?
Questions flooded in like a tide.
The path to immortality has no end, so Zhang Xuan stopped.
He activated the power of the Chaos Divine Sea, drawing upon the Daoist essence of the Great Dao Tree, which emitted a hazy radiance.
"Om..."
The Immortal Path trembled slightly, as if it had been touched.
Some of the originally dim Dao patterns on Lu's body began to glow slightly.
Zhang Xuan sensed the power of the Great Dao contained within it.
Gradually, some blurry imprints were retrieved little by little.
He "saw" a fragment of a broken starry sky and sensed an aura that shared the same origin as his own ancient Dao diagram!
"This is... the aura of the ancient times? Is this path related to the ancient era?" Zhang Xuan was deeply shocked.
His ancient Dao map has always been an important trump card and asset, but it has always been shrouded in mystery and the unknown.
He knew that these Dao diagrams originated from the ancient past and contained immense karma and danger.
Immediately afterwards, another section of the Great Dao power on the Immortal Path was activated, and the resulting fragments of the mark presented a completely different scene.
It was a more ethereal and magnificent scene, in which the sounds of bells and tripods echoed, and the image of stars surrounding the sun rotated...
This aura subtly echoed the nine ancient sacred Dao diagrams in his divine sea!
"The Ancient Era?!" Zhang Xuan was even more surprised.
The Sacred Ancient Dao Diagram was obtained from the remains of the Nine-Headed Serpent. Its power is unpredictable, and the danger of it devouring its master is like a sword hanging over his head. He has always treated it with caution.
Unexpectedly, this immortal path is also connected to the Holy Ancient!
What stirred his soul the most was that when his divine sense tried to trace the source of the immortal path, an extremely distant yet familiar and thrilling sensation pierced through the endless fog and reached him.
That feeling... faintly pointed to the Immortal Gate he had once entered through the sacrifice to the Nine Dragon Wall!
That mysterious and unpredictable immortal gate, with a golden pagoda inside, storing countless ancient artifacts!
"The Immortal Path... the Ancient Dao Map... the Sacred Ancient Dao Map... the Immortal Sect..."
Zhang Xuan pieced together these scattered clues.
A vague yet alarming conjecture gradually took shape in his mind.
This path to immortality may not have been left behind by a single era or a single powerful being.
It is more like the remains of an immortal path that runs through multiple glorious eras, including the present, the ancient times, and the holy times!
In the ancient times, they embarked on this path of seeking the ultimate immortality, leaving their mark.
In the ancient times, perhaps it was the human emperor, perhaps it was the wild beast, perhaps it was other powerful beings. Following in the footsteps of the powerful predecessors, they forged their own paths and left their own marks.
The Immortal Sect, on the other hand, is likely an even more unique entity.
It may be a rest stop or a repository of heritage along this celestial path, preserving some of the essence left behind by travelers on the way.
It might even be part of the entrance to this road itself!
"The Immortal Path is connected to an abandoned Great Dao Ferry. Could it be... that I have inadvertently awakened this ancient Immortal Path that has been dormant for countless eons?"
Zhang Xuan felt a throbbing sensation, a mixture of chill and heat.
This opportunity is too great, and the karmic consequences are too heavy!
Should the cause and effect that fills the gap in the Heavenly Way be found here?
He recalled the warning text that appeared in his mind when he first obtained the Ancient Dao Diagram in the early stages of Qi Refining: "The Heavenly Dao has a flaw, and a cataclysmic calamity will destroy the world. The secret treasures of the calamity will be transformed into the Dao Diagram. Those who are destined to obtain it can become immortal true immortals, but they must also bear this supreme cause and effect to make up for the flaw in the Heavenly Dao."
To mend the gaps in the Heavenly Dao is a great secret concerning the eons to come!
This immortal path, these Dao diagrams, and the immortal gates are very likely all key to completing the gap in the Heavenly Dao!
"The three share the same origin and all belong to this path. Now that the Immortal Path has been reborn, it is still incomplete. If we could integrate the origins of these three into the Immortal Path..."
