Chapter 1345: Chapter 1339: The Dao Path Of Illusion and Reality
[Year 1070]
The ten-year cycle, the period of the Grand Ceremony.
However, the family’s descendants could only burn incense in their respective locations.
Li Xinjue was secretly constructing a secluded retreat for the family’s disciples, while the family continued to exhaust every effort to deal with the immortals within the Blood Moon.
After the incense had finished burning in the family’s ancestral hall.
Li Yunlin stepped into the domain within the Old Tree’s body.
The three immortals settled down, but upon sensing Li Yunlin’s aura, they frantically clamored to merge into one with him.
The old cat leaped from Li Yunlin’s shoulder, baring its teeth. “You three pieces of trash, do you even deserve it?”
The three immortals immediately quieted down.
The old cat turned to Li Yunlin. “You kid don’t want to become a half-immortal too, do you?”
This kid had been seeking a breakthrough all these years, but unfortunately had yet to find a suitable Dao path.
Even when a Dao path had already appeared clearly before his eyes, Li Yunlin still refused to push open the Dao Gate, claiming it was too weak.
“I’m just here to take a look.”
Li Yunlin shook his head and inquired of the immortals, “Do the three of you know what the most powerful Dao in ancient times was?”
“Fate!”
“Time!”
“Karma.”
Li Yunlin frowned. He understood none of them; the Dao was nowhere to be found.
The three immortals also dispelled their thoughts of coexisting with Li Yunlin, watching him with great interest.
Peacekeeper’s lips parted slightly, her demeanor gentle and elegant.
“Immortals are a race born of heaven and earth, but it is not entirely impossible for the living beings of the world to surpass immortals.”
The Sacred Candle and the Life-Cherishing Immortal glared furiously at Peacekeeper.
Peacekeeper said softly,
“Coexisting with an immortal is the worst possible move. It is merely sharing power with us.
Humans will die, but immortals will not.
Everything will one day belong to the immortal, or you will perish alongside the immortal. Relying on oneself is the only correct choice.”
“Peacekeeper, you’re spouting nonsense!” The Life-Cherishing Immortal had long seen through Li Yunlin’s extraordinary nature.
Coexisting with such a person would vastly increase its chances of surviving and enjoying the passage of time.
It angrily rebuked Peacekeeper for ruining its good deed. “I can help him! I can even assist him in becoming an Emperor!”
“I agree with Peacekeeper.” The Sacred Candle spoke kindly to Li Yunlin, “You definitely have hope of surpassing immortals.”
“And then you’ll give him hope, just preparing to eat his hope later, right?” The Life-Cherishing Immortal snapped exasperatedly at the Sacred Candle.
“You can’t even get out of here, how do you plan to eat his hope?!!”
“Giving people hope is always a good thing,” the Sacred Candle replied, his face glowing with a ruddy, jovial light.
Li Yunlin felt utterly helpless.
These three immortals had constantly been trying to coexist with the Li family members.
Even now, he couldn’t even tell whether these three ‘marginalized’ immortals were actually good or bad.
The Life-Cherishing Immortal snorted coldly, “Even if you don’t coexist with me, find someone reliable. This time, I want to live for at least three hundred years!”
Li Yunlin’s expression was complex. Perhaps to these immortals, life was nothing more than a game.
Suddenly, Li Yunlin looked outside the room.
In the distance over Azure Cloud Prefecture, brilliant iridescent clouds surged dramatically.
The aftershocks of Dao rhythm rippled toward the family estate. In the void, a Dao Gate opened, accompanied by the rhythmic, echoing thumps of a heartbeat.
……..
[Your descendant Li Zhiheng has broken through to the Body Integration realm!]
At this time.
Below the family’s Immortal Martial lineage, Li Yuanshang and the descendants of the Immortal Martial lineage were all joyfully looking up at Li Zhiheng sitting cross-legged in the cloudy sky.
Streaks of karmic luck materialized into physical form, then spiraled straight up toward the heavens.
All the descendants of the Immortal Martial lineage stared in shock at the brilliance appearing above their heads.
This was their karmic luck—something that usually only those who cultivated destiny arts could see.
Li Zhiheng’s Dao had always laid within the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart.
At this moment, however, Li Zhiheng paid no attention to the reactions of his clansmen.
While his physical body remained in the air above the Immortal Martial lineage, his soul and mind had already appeared within the entirety of the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart.
For many years, he had been constantly devouring karmic luck.
During his time wandering through Grandhaven Prefecture, many had already died, but their souls and karmic luck persisted.
He traversed the path of consuming the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture’s karmic luck.
This karmic luck was enough for him to digest the flesh and blood hoarded within the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, and it was also enough to allow these people to be reborn.
Furthermore…
In front of the Dao Gate, surrounding Li Zhiheng were the six Masters of the Sage Master Martial Academy.
Behind the six Masters stood the enemies he had killed in the past, as well as many respectable yet pitiable foes from the Zhao Clan, and the genius possessing the ‘World’ rule, Banshu Ao.
Over the years, he had been constantly discussing the rules of the ‘World’ and the ‘Red Dust’ with the Masters who had enlightened the world in Grandhaven Prefecture.
Besides them, the people of the Zhao Clan also possessed a clear understanding of how to create a ‘World’.
The former Zhao Clan had been forged entirely by the deceased Zhao clansmen ‘reborn’ through the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart—both real and illusory.
Zhao Feimeng smiled at Li Zhiheng.
“The memories of the Zhao clansmen were created by me. They had died long ago, yet they were also reborn into the world.
Our Zhao Clan has perished, yet it still exists. Can you truly tell if they are alive or dead?”
Li Zhiheng reached out his hand across the void toward the Dao Gate, pushing it open by an inch.
The six Masters of the Martial Academy surrounded Li Zhiheng.
The First Master smiled.
“Grandhaven Prefecture is the Red Dust Realm; absolutely everything was brought about by our enlightenment, and by the enlightenment of the Red Dust Immortal.
The commoners of Grandhaven Prefecture, whether in Jade Mist Valley or the Banshu Clan, are all truly real existences. The Red Dust Immortal is also a real existence, but we…”
“We have never existed. You can consider us the incarnations of Grandhaven Prefecture’s heaven and earth spiritual qi, the cycle of the four seasons, and its ethics and morals.”
The Fourth Master, knitting her sweater, smiled at the Fifth Master, then continued,
“Everything we are is inextricably linked to Grandhaven Prefecture. With the destruction of Grandhaven Prefecture, everything we are will disappear.”
“We do not exist,” the Fifth Master said. “The only thing that exists is the inheritance.”
“Huu.”
Li Zhiheng slowly stood up and walked to the Dao Gate. With a push, the Dao Gate swung wide open, revealing a long Dao path before him.
He stepped onto the Dao path, looking back at these old acquaintances and the gentle smiles on their faces.
The First Master smiled faintly at Li Zhiheng.
“Go in. After today, the six of us will disappear from the world. Promise us that one day in the future, you will bring our inheritance back to Grandhaven Prefecture.”
“Mhm.”
Li Zhiheng nodded and stepped through the Dao Gate. Within the smooth path lay the hustle and bustle and prosperity of the mortal realm.
It was the entirety of Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Ahead in Azure Cloud Prefecture, there was a red leaf. Stepping into the red leaf, he saw the Old Tree and his clansmen at a banquet.
The clansmen raised their glasses to him, inviting him to join the feast.
“Thump… thump…”
[Your descendant Li Zhiheng has acquired the Dao path—]
[Illusion and Reality]
In the Immortal Martial lineage, the clansmen stared up at the cloudy sky in shock.
Li Zhiheng… had completely vanished without a trace.
Yet his aura, starting from the Immortal Martial lineage, spread across the entirety of Azure Cloud Prefecture!
In Westfall Prefecture, the Red Dust Immortal, who was currently teaching the cultivators of the Southern Frontier how to cultivate immortal methods, leaped up from the crowd in shock.
The moment he shot into the cloudy sky, he stared in disbelief toward the direction of the Immortal Martial lineage.
The Red Dust Immortal slapped his thigh fiercely.
“Oh no! The Dao that Banshu Ao and my six kin spent their entire lives comprehending has been fully mastered by this kid!”
Ancestor Lan appeared beside the Red Dust Immortal, sensing that their neighbor, Azure Cloud Prefecture, was undergoing some kind of transformation.
He frowned and asked the Red Dust Immortal, “What Dao path is it?”
“Huu.”
The corners of the Red Dust Immortal’s mouth twitched. “Illusion and Reality.”
The human and the immortal gazed at Azure Cloud Prefecture for a long time. The Red Dust Immortal said, “Right now, Li Zhiheng is Azure Cloud Prefecture.”
“So what?” Ancestor Lan frowned.
“He is now Azure Cloud Prefecture, and his Divine Heart will advance further alongside his breakthrough to the Body Integration realm.” The Red Dust Immortal exhaled a long breath.
“He can truly… turn illusion into reality. It is very hard for me to guess just how far he will take this.”
“For instance?” Ancestor Lan peered into everything within Azure Cloud Prefecture.
“For instance, if you died in Azure Cloud Prefecture…”
The Red Dust Immortal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “He might be able to conjure up another you.”
