I am cultivating immortals in mortal science

Chapter 2158 The Big Secret Revealed
"Could there really be a problem?"

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Samsara had a sudden thought. He examined the Bodhi Dao Fruit in his hand twice more, but still found nothing.

Then, he suddenly chuckled, clenched his fist, and caused the Bodhi Dao Fruit to transform into a stream of light that scattered and was then collected into his sleeve.

Gu Huojin naturally noticed this scene, but his expression remained unchanged, as if it didn't matter whether the Lord of Samsara ate or not.

After everyone had consumed the Bodhi Fruit, the sounds of bells and chimes immediately rang out around the Jade Pool, mixed with some mysterious celestial music.

The Jingming Lake was also rippling with waves, and the huge ancient locust tree swayed slowly, with locust leaves falling with the wind, whether they were scattered on the clouds or landed on the table, they were all swallowed up.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall felt an immense sense of peace, and a flood of insights that were usually unattainable surged within them!
No one dared to delay for even a moment. They immediately sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and focused their energy.

Before the divine light of the Bodhi Dao Fruit had even dissipated, the radiance on these cultivators suddenly shone brightly again.

Before long, a fluctuation of energy emanated from the venue, coming from a Golden Immortal cultivator who had accompanied the group.

His body was enveloped in a burst of azure light, and his aura surged at a visible speed, reaching the bottleneck of the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm. Finally, with a tremor, he broke through to the late-stage Golden Immortal realm!
This situation is not an isolated case. During this person's breakthrough, seventeen or eighteen other people also showed unusual phenomena and made great progress in their cultivation!

Although these cultivators are all at the Taiyi level or below, this does not mean that the Bodhi Dao Fruit is less effective for cultivators above the Taiyi level.

They generally gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao they cultivated. Although this would not be immediately reflected in their cultivation level, it was of great significance in any aspect related to the laws.

Therefore, everyone's faces were filled with undisguised joy.

Seeing that everyone had successfully refined the medicinal power of the Bodhi Dao Fruit, Gu Huojin spoke up with great satisfaction:

"It is truly a blessing for the Immortal Realm that all of you fellow Daoists have been able to obtain this opportunity, and it has not been in vain that the Heavenly Court has spent ten thousand years preparing for it."

"If we're talking about hard work, it's the Supreme One who personally refined so many Bodhi Dao Fruits who truly deserves our gratitude. We are all deeply moved and offer our sincerest thanks!"

The young man who broke through to the next realm was not yet fully stable in his breathing, but he stood up excitedly and respectfully bowed to Gu Huojin.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other Taiyi and Daluo cultivators who had also received immortal opportunities stood up one after another, first to thank the Heavenly Court, and then to pay their respects to the ancient or modern times.

In an instant, an invisible force gathered around Gu Huojin, making him even more majestic and impossible to look directly at!
"Heh, the world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain. Although the current momentum is great, how many are truly loyal?"

Seeing this, the Lord of Samsara Palace was not afraid at all; instead, he chuckled disdainfully.

Profit can unite people's hearts, but it can also disperse them; it is not the righteous path.

As the supreme ruler of the celestial realm, the Heavenly Court's use of such methods to win over the hearts of the people is actually a sign of its inferiority.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Samsara Palace became as conspicuous as a lone boat adrift in a torrent, drawing everyone's attention.

The Dao Ancestors in the front row remained calm and composed, but most of the other cultivators present showed unfriendly or even angry expressions.

Among them were those who were truly loyal to the Heavenly Court, and those who were embarrassed and angry after being exposed.

"Hmph! I don't care why the Samsara Palace opposes the Heavenly Court. Just looking at what they have done, most of it goes against the will of Heaven and violates the moral order. Now they have even stirred up the entire Immortal Realm into chaos."

"The Palace Master, instead of being grateful for His Majesty's magnanimity, dares to speak so arrogantly; this truly despises me!"

An elderly man with white hair suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and began to curse at the Lord of the Samsara Palace, his expression filled with righteous indignation!
This was like opening a floodgate, and immediately a large number of cultivators followed suit, launching verbal attacks against the Lord of the Samsara Palace, whether sincerely or insincerely.

In an instant, the entire venue transformed into a bustling, lively marketplace, filled with the sounds of people.

A few words were certainly not enough to make the Samsara Palace show any leniency.

Even so, Gu Huojin allowed everyone to vent for a moment before raising his hand to gesture for them to calm down, and then spoke:
"Their hero is my enemy. The grudges between the Heavenly Court and the Samsara Palace have been entangled for countless years, and it is difficult to determine who is right and who is wrong."

However, if the Palace Master wishes to turn hostility into friendship, it is never too late. I wonder what the Palace Master's current intentions are?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many cultivators present changed, and their eyes revealed intense anger.

Among them, the Cangwu True Lord is the most extreme. They all have a deep-seated hatred for the Samsara Palace, and it is not something that can be easily dismissed with a casual remark from ancient or modern times.

Cangwu Zhenjun snorted coldly and was about to get up to move, but he immediately felt a weight on his left arm, as if the Ten Directions Immortal Realm was suppressing him, and he could no longer move an inch.

He looked over and, as expected, saw Luo Hong pressing on his left arm.

"It's just polite talk, Fellow Daoist Cangwu, please don't be impatient."

The next moment, Luo Hong's voice transmission rang out in his primordial spirit.

"What a fine way to turn hostility into friendship! The Samsara Palace is not just my Samsara Palace, and I don't think the Heavenly Court can be decided by a single word from a hypocrite like you!"

The Lord of Samsara Palace first laughed loudly, then angrily threw down his cup, his face frosty as he spoke.

"The Palace Master seems to have a deep-seated hatred for me, but I am confident that I have never met the Palace Master. Since a great battle is inevitable, could the Palace Master please clear up my doubts first?"

Gu Huojin paid no attention to the attitudes of the other cultivators, his gaze fixed only on the Lord of the Samsara Palace, and asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, you certainly wouldn't recognize me like this, but how about this one?!"

A red light rolled across the Lord of Samsara Palace, and his appearance instantly changed, transforming him into the likeness of Old Demon Han.

"Han Li?!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Huojin was also startled, and his brows furrowed.

Clearly, none of the possibilities he had previously guessed about—the identity of the Lord of Samsara Palace—matched his true identity!
"What! The Lord of the Samsara Palace is actually Han Li!"

"Impossible! Han Li cultivates the laws of time!"

"Supreme laws cannot be cultivated together; there's definitely something fishy going on here!"

"Yes! The Supreme One must never trust him!"

However, Gu Huojin was very clear that the moment of truth had arrived, and even if the Lord of Samsara Palace were to lie, it would be meaningless.
"Hehe, so that's how it is. No wonder Chen Tuan's divinations were all a mess. It turns out there are two Han Lis in the world!"
"Lord, would you mind telling me how you did it?"

Gu Huojin had no interest whatsoever in the feud between himself and the Lord of Samsara Palace.

He just wanted to know how the Lord of the Samsara Palace had disrupted cause and effect, causing calamity to the Great Dao!
"Whether in ancient or modern times, this is your arrogance. You completely disregard others for your own desires. Our pain and joy are nothing to you!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Samsara Palace became even more furious. Back then, Gu Huojin had only said, "The Great Dao is solitary, how can it be coveted?" and had driven them to extinction, directly causing the death of Gan Rushuang.

Nowadays, when faced with questions, whether ancient or modern, they don't even want to know the answers, which is utterly contemptible!

"There's no need for further explanation. Just look at Han Li, and you'll know that the conflict between us is nothing more than a struggle over the Great Dao."

If this is considered a grudge, then you are far too short-sighted. I once considered you a close friend, but it turns out you are nothing more than a time traveler.

Gu Huojin shook his head casually, his tone revealing undisguised disappointment, and then he spoke again:

"However, even if you don't say it, I can guess what you used."

Of the six Origin Treasures, only the Heavenly Bottle possesses the power to reverse time and space!

Judging from your appearance, it's clear you haven't been recognized as a master by the Heavenly Bottle, which is truly worthy of your discerning eye.

"In that case, the Heavenly Bottle should be in the hands of another Han Li. Thank you for delivering this information."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Samsara Palace felt a sense of foreboding, as if he had fallen into a trap. But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to be released!

No one knows what methods they used in secret, but suddenly the space on both sides of Yaochi began to shake violently, and countless chaotic silver ripples appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly!

The area around Yaochi was naturally covered with restrictions, each one crafted by the Dao Ancestor. Immediately, various colors of powerful restrictive light emerged, clashing fiercely with the silver ripples.

However, the power of these silver ripples was extremely strong, immediately suppressing the Yaochi restriction.

Instantly, invisible, immense forces penetrated into the Jade Pool, blasting some guests at the edge away!

Some of those with weaker cultivation were immediately seriously injured, causing screams to fill the air!
Upon seeing this, everyone took flight, each employing their own protective techniques, and nervously observed the changing situation.

However, there was an exception at this moment. Just when everyone was in fear, True Lord Cangwu pressed down his disciple and sat calmly behind the table, his expression unchanged.

"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Cangwu would have such composure. I truly underestimated him before!"

"Why is this old dog behaving so strangely today?"

Unbeknownst to everyone, True Monarch Cangwu was already frantic with worry, constantly sending telepathic messages to Luo Hong:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, the war has begun! Wake up!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo, please release me first, then you can focus on your meditation!"

"Quick, get out of the way! The aftershocks are coming!"

No matter how much True Lord Cangwu called out, Luo Hong did not respond in the slightest.

In the critical moment, large swaths of white clouds surged up from the ground, forming two cloud walls that blocked the fluctuations of the restriction!
Those impacts, carrying immense force, surged into the cloud wall and vanished as if they were a mud ox entering the sea.

Clearly, this was the work of Baiyun Daozu, one of the Seven Heavenly Lords.

Seeing this, Luo Hong remained unmoved. He had only one thought: Gu Huojin actually knew the Heavenly Bottle and knew that there were six Origin Treasures in total.

"In the original timeline, he definitely did not obtain this information!"
In other words, those chaotic demons chose to cooperate with him over me!
But on what grounds?! Neither the ancients nor the moderns could possibly be my match. Are they going to intervene directly?!

Luo Hong's mind raced with thoughts.

Although those chaotic demons are extremely twisted and insane, driven by instinct, they usually act directly to the core, which is incredibly cool and ruthless!
"No! In the Primordial World, no matter how many of them come, they can only die!"

Luo Hong had a premonition that once he figured out the key, all the chaos in the outside world would be insignificant!
Beside Jingming Lake, the three Heavenly Lords, Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, and Yinming, remained motionless, watching as Dao Ancestor Baiyun performed his magic.

With a flick of his finger, countless white clouds emerged from the void, then swept down upon the silver ripples on both sides.

The forbidden light emanating from the Jade Pool barrier immediately shone brightly, and together with the white cloud energy summoned by Dao Ancestor Baiyun, it fiercely suppressed those silver ripples!

But as soon as it was suppressed, the silver ripples suddenly shone brightly, and two extremely sharp forces shot out from them.

With a tearing sound, the white clouds on both sides of Yaochi were ripped apart, and the restrictions were completely destroyed!

Baiyun Daozu's body trembled instantly, and he let out a muffled groan. He stepped back more than ten steps before regaining his balance.

Before he could make another move, the silver light on both sides of Yaochi flashed and tore the space apart, creating two spatial passages!

The next moment, countless figures flew out from the two spatial passages and landed on both sides of Yaochi, clearly two large armies that had been prepared in advance!

The people on the left side of Yaochi were all dressed in long purple-black robes, exuding a surging demonic aura, undoubtedly from the Demon Realm.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group had thin eyebrows and a square face, looking like a refined scholar, but he was extremely imposing. He was none other than the current Demon Lord, Shi Kongyu!

Four people stood side by side with him, and a man and a woman were on his left.

The man had long, dry, yellow hair like straw, and his body was extremely thin; he was essentially a skeleton.

The woman was quite beautiful, with a slender waist and full hips. Every move she made exuded a seductive charm, like an evil flower that made people wary yet irresistibly want to pluck it.

To the right of Shi Kongyu were two other people, one of whom was a woman in a white dress. She was tall and extremely obese, with her eyes squeezed into slits by the fat on her face. She was clearly a transformed monster!

The other person was a man in a yellow shirt, who looked quite young, only in his twenties. He had an ordinary black longsword at his waist, and his appearance was also unremarkable, except that his eyes were extremely empty.

This feeling of "nothingness" can only evoke two words:
"die!"

The auras emanating from these four individuals were all unfathomable; they were clearly all Dao Ancestor level beings!

Behind them were hundreds of Grand Luo cultivators from the Demon Realm, almost none of whom were at the early stage of Grand Luo, clearly the elite of the elite!
On the other side of the spatial passage, the true spirits from various races of the Savage Realm emerged.

There were three people standing at the front, two of whom were the True Spirit King Bai Ze and Yue Mian.

There was another person Luo Hong didn't recognize. He was a bald, middle-aged man with a playful expression on his face, wearing ancient bronze armor.

This armor has no exquisite patterns or mysterious runes, yet it exudes an aura of unparalleled dominance!

Behind the three stood numerous powerful warriors from the wilderness; almost all the clan leaders were present.

In addition, familiar faces such as Liu Le'er, Liu Huan'er, Ye Susu, and Hu San were also among them.

The two armies, with their large numbers, quickly surrounded Yaochi!
