On the Avenue.

Chapter 750 Ending This Life
Wu Yue Xingjun's expression changed instantly. He turned around and scolded, "You ignorant fools! What kind of status and position does Heavenly King Chen have? How dare you criticize him? Apologize to the Heavenly King now!"

He turned to Chen Shi with a forced smile and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. They are just a few children, a bit too straightforward."

Chen Shi didn't take it to heart and laughed, "No wonder the Great Celestial Venerable sent me here to quell the rebellion. The chaos in your Wuyue Province is indeed much more serious than in other provinces of Tianshiyuan."

Wu Yue Xingjun laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. Wu Yue Province is not in chaos. While the conflicts between immortals and gods in other provinces are escalating and they are fighting each other, Wu Yue Province is peaceful. There was some chaos among immortals and gods, but it was quickly quelled. Heavenly King Chen, Ping Tian Lou has prepared a banquet. Please come in."

The building where Xin Xianjun and the others were located was Pingtian Tower. Wu Yue Xingjun extended his hand to invite them in, and Chen Shi was not afraid at all, so he followed him into Pingtian Tower.

The Pingtian Tower had seven stories. As soon as Chen Shi entered, he saw immortals taking flight and landing in the tower. However, outside the tower, there were also immortals surrounding it, guarding against Chen Shi's escape.

Chen Shi entered Pingtian Tower and was slightly taken aback.

The moment he stepped into the building, the interior changed instantly. From the outside, the building appeared to be a normal room layout, but once inside, the sky and earth seemed to expand to a vast expanse, as if tens of thousands of miles of territory had been added!
As Chen Shi stepped into the air, he looked down and saw the blue sky covering the area below. Beneath the blue sky, majestic mountains and lush forests stretched out, long rivers flowed like dragons, and lakes resembled bright pearls.

The landscape, as beautiful as a painting, unfolds flat beneath his feet.

In the air, tens of thousands of immortals sat cross-legged, swords held horizontally in front of their knees, forming a formation like a canopy.

Chen Shi glanced around and realized that the Dao Integration Grounds of these immortals were the first level of the Pingtian Tower.

In other words, tens of thousands of immortals and Dao-realizing beings all reside in the same place!
Chen Shi had seen situations where two or three immortals shared the same Dao Integration Ground. After all, the world is only so big. Even the Earthly Immortal Realm cannot have an endless territory. Once someone else has achieved Dao Integration, others can also achieve Dao Integration.

All of these are verifications of whether one's own Daoist principles are different from those of Heaven and Earth, and they do not conflict.

Chen Shi had never seen a situation where tens of thousands of immortals shared the same Dao-merging ground.

"What does the Heavenly King think of this formation?"

Wu Yue Xingjun laughed and asked, "Is it comparable to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of Golden Turtle Island?"

Chen Shi said, "The formation is exquisite and extraordinary. Tens of thousands of immortals have merged with the Dao in the same place. The Dao of Heaven and Earth here can probably be mobilized by these tens of thousands of people. The formation they have formed is comparable to the Great Luo."

The so-called attainment of the Great Luo means that one's Dao has become equal to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and one can create one's own realm, making the ultimate use of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in that realm.

Although the Dao Integration Grounds for these tens of thousands of immortals were small, and each immortal could only grasp a limited amount of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, their sheer number made up for it. Each immortal contributed a little bit of their own Dao power, and together they created an amount almost comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This is what Chen Shi meant by the analogy to the Great Luo.

The key lies in the formation composed of tens of thousands of immortals. Without this formation, their power cannot be combined, and they cannot be compared to the Great Luo Immortal.

"The Heavenly King's Dharma Eye is unparalleled."

Wu Yue Xingjun said, "This formation is called the Qiongtan Luotian Tribulation Formation. It was created by the immortal venerable Qingxu Daode Tianzun of Ziyang Cave in Qingfeng Mountain. It is said that the venerable venerable saw the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of the Jie Sect and was amazed by it. So he created this formation himself. This formation uses the merging of ten thousand immortals to imitate the attainment of the Great Luo realm. It is even more exquisite than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Unfortunately, after the venerable venerable achieved great success in his cultivation and created this formation, he had no chance to see the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation again."

He smiled and said, "I've heard that the Heavenly King is the current leader of the Jie Sect. I wonder if the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation still exists on Jin'ao Island?"

Chen Shi said solemnly, "How can the protective formation be allowed to fail?"

The two entered the next level of Pingtian Tower. The layout of the second level was similar to that of the first level. It was also a world within a tower, with tens of thousands of immortals. These tens of thousands of immortals were also achieving Dao in the tower and had set up the Qiongtan Luotian Tribulation Array, which was full of murderous intent.

The second heaven is much larger than the first heaven, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

The immortals who attained enlightenment here also reached the realm of true immortals.

"Truly elite and valiant soldiers!"

Chen Shi exclaimed in admiration and asked, "Where did this world inside the Pingtian Tower come from?"

Wu Yue Xingjun laughed and said, "It is the territory of Wu Yue Province in the Earthly Immortal Realm, which was refined into a magic weapon."

"That's great, that's great."

Chen Shi said, "If one could cultivate to the thirty-third level, wouldn't that be comparable to the Three Pure Realms and the Western Paradise?"

Wu Yue Xingjun laughed and said, "Where would we have the ability and realm? Besides, I am just a star lord of Wu Yue Province, with limited jurisdiction, and I cannot refine such a treasure. To refine this treasure, the entire Tian Shi Yuan would have to be refined into Ping Tian Lou, and even that would require the intervention of the Great Emperor Gouchen. How could I have such power? Heavenly King, this way please."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Gouchen behind Chen Shi raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

Chen Shi laughed and said, "The specifications of your Pingtian Tower are extraordinary. It's not something you could have crafted. Its origin must be quite ancient, right?"

"nature."

Wu Yue Xingjun said, "This was left by Yun Zhongzi, the current leader of the Shangqing Realm."

"I've heard that Yun Zhongzi is the master of Emperor Gouchen?" Chen Shi asked.

Wu Yue Xingjun replied, "Yes."

Chen Shi glanced at Emperor Gouchen and said with a half-smile, "Then the reason why Master Yun left the Pingtian Tower here is quite profound. If Emperor Gouchen were to activate this tower, he might be able to take over the Tian Shi Yuan and immediately refine it into a supreme treasure."

Emperor Gouchen remained expressionless, his thoughts unknown.

They entered the third heaven, a realm of countless heavens, where the true immortals guarding this place possessed even greater cultivation.

Chen Shi and Wu Yue Xingjun descended one level after another. When they arrived at the seventh floor of Pingtian Tower, Chen Shi was stunned. This seventh floor did not contain any heavens, but was an ordinary floor, a hall where a banquet had already been set up.

Wu Yue Xingjun extended a warm invitation and invited Chen Shi to take the main seat, saying with a smile, "Chen Tianwang is the Grand Marshal of the Army and the People's Liberation Army. No one here can compare with him in status. Therefore, it is in accordance with the rules for Tianwang to sit in the main seat."

Chen Shi did not refuse and sat down, saying, "Star Lord, the guests may take their seats now."

Wu Yue Xingjun laughed and said, "Immortal Lord Xin, Monk Pan, True Man Mei, Fairy Zhong, please don't stand outside. The Heavenly King has already taken his seat, please take your seats as well."

The few Taiyi Golden Immortals who had been standing on Pingtian Tower walked over and stepped into the banquet. The moment they entered, their sharp eyes swept over Chen Shi, and lightning flashed in the air, turning everything white.

Chen Shi remained calm and said to Emperor Gouchen, "You are a servant, so you don't need to sit. Stand behind me."

Emperor Gouchen clenched his fist and stood behind him without saying a word.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on the back of Chen Shi's neck; he felt quite pressured.

"Although King Chen is young and his cultivation is weak, his willpower is astonishing."

Even though they were enemies, Xin Xianjun still showed admiration and said, "As expected of a Heavenly King personally appointed by the Jade Emperor, his courage is unmatched!"

"Immortal Xin, you flatter me." Chen Shi raised his hand and smiled, "Please be seated, everyone."

Everyone took their seats.

Wu Yue Xingjun said, “Your Majesty may not know this, but Immortal Xin comes from the Jade Purity Realm, True Man Mei comes from the Upper Purity Realm, and Fairy Zhong comes from the Supreme Purity Realm. And Monk Pan comes from the Western Paradise.”

Chen Shi was moved and said, "The four sects have all sent people to Tian Shi Yuan. Could it be that they want to divide up power in Tian Shi Yuan? Shouldn't Tian Shi Yuan be the power of the Shangqing Lingbao lineage?"

Wu Yue Xingjun hesitated for a moment, not daring to speak.

The fairy Zhong, whose real name was Zhong Wanfang, was a woman. Although she was not as stunning as Xi Shi, she was still quite beautiful. She smiled and said, "King Chen, please don't try to sow discord. Our four sects are one family and we are not different from each other."

Chen Shi sneered, "Since Fairy Zhong is from the Taiqing Realm, she naturally says so. But I have heard that Emperor Gouchen is a disciple of the Lingbao lineage in the Shangqing Realm. For you three religions to come and claim the land of the Lingbao lineage is simply taking advantage of the fact that the Lingbao lineage has no one! You are not kind-hearted, so you should end this life and reincarnate!"

Everyone frowned.

Master Mei laughed heartily and said, "As expected of the Jie Sect Leader, you are skilled at bewitching people! It's a bit inappropriate for the Jie Sect Leader to make such pronouncements before I, a disciple of the Shangqing Lingbao Sect, have even spoken."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Emperor Gouchen is your senior. Before he even spoke, you divided Tian Shi Yuan among the other three religions. What are you?"

Master Mei was enraged and stammered, "My master has been the Great Emperor Gouchen for too long in his early years and has forgotten his true identity. We are here to seize Tian Shi Yuan, go to Gouchen Shang Palace to force him to abdicate, and make my master stand on our side!"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Emperor Gouchen has his own righteous path in his heart, and you don't understand him. You brought a wolf into the house, and the other three religions bullied you into your territory and divided up the spiritual treasures. You are also incompetent."

Master Mei was furious: "The Jie Sect is indeed a demonic path! Jin'ao Island is full of demonic brats. We, the Three Pure Ones, are the true lineage, and everyone has the right to kill them!"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "You call me a demonic cultivator, but I've heard that the Three Pure Realms are also studying heretical and demonic paths. If that's the case, what right do you have to say that you are the true lineage?"

Master Mei angrily retorted, "We uphold the path of immortality, while you uphold the path of demons. That is the difference!"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "The Immortal Path, the Demonic Path, and the Heretical Path are all the Great Dao. The fact that you can say such a thing shows that your understanding of the Dao is nothing more than this. You will hardly be able to attain the Great Luo realm in this life. Master Mei, you should end this life as soon as possible and reincarnate. If you get rid of the filthy memories of this life, you may still have a chance to attain the Great Luo realm."

Master Mei snorted angrily.

He was indeed destined to miss out on the chance to become the top player.

Other cultivators need to think every day about how to obtain enough immortal energy and spiritual liquid, enough elixirs and miraculous medicines, superior cultivation techniques, and a sufficiently vast place to achieve Dao integration.

But Master Mei doesn't need to do that. In the Jade Purity Heaven, all kinds of Taoist techniques are readily available, and there are countless kinds of immortal energy and spiritual liquids. There are so many elixirs and medicines that he can't possibly consume them all. Any cultivation method he picks out is a supreme cultivation method that the outside world would fight tooth and nail for.

However, he just couldn't break through and become a Great Luo Immortal.

Chen Shi's words struck a nerve.

Monk Pan said, "King Chen is also an immortal, why should he be a lackey of the Jade Emperor? Now that the Celestial Court is in action, and the Three Pure Realms and the Western Paradise are responding, it is the time for us immortals to make a difference."

"The Jade Emperor's henchmen?"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Back then, when the Shang dynasty was overthrown and the Zhou dynasty was destroyed, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Ancestors of the Western Heaven supported the cause, and the world revered the Jade Emperor as the Great Heavenly Venerable and the true master of the world. You, as disciples of the Three Pure Ones and successors of the Two Ancestors, insisted on overthrowing the Heavenly Court and betraying your master and ancestors. Monk Pan, your six senses are not pure, so you should end this life and be reincarnated."

"He's quick-witted! Fellow senior brothers and uncles, don't argue with him, lest you lower yourselves to the level of respect!"

Several more immortals entered from outside, their cultivation levels varying, and they each took their seats. An old immortal with white hair and a youthful face slammed his fist on the table and roared, "The Jie Sect has chosen you as their current leader! They've lost their minds! Today is not for you to quell the rebellion, but for us, the Three Pure Ones, to eradicate the Jie Sect!"

Chen Shi looked at Wu Yue Xingjun: "And who is this?"

Wu Yue Xingjun said, "This is Pi Zhencai, the Old Immortal, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Your knowledge is shallow, not as good as Master Mei's. You are cultivating the Spiritual Treasure Returning to Emptiness Technique, which uses your own essence, qi, and spirit as spiritual treasures to refine into the Pure Land of Brahma and return to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. But you have refined it incorrectly, you cannot distinguish the three treasures, it is difficult to cultivate the Three Flowers on the Top, and you have no chance of becoming Taiyi. You should end this life as soon as possible."

The green stele in Fuluo Village was left by the Lingbao Taoist. Chen Shi had already comprehended the contents of the stele and had a great understanding of the Taoist methods of the Lingbao lineage. He could tell at a glance how profound Pi Laoxian was.

Pi Laoxian was furious and got up to make a move, but was stopped by the young man beside him. The young man smiled and said, "Senior Brother Pi, King Chen is, after all, the leader of the Jie Sect and a contemporary master. He must be treated with respect."

Seeing that he had spoken, Old Immortal Pi stopped making things difficult for Chen Shi.

Chen Shi looked at Wu Yue Xingjun, who smiled and said, "This is Senior Brother Zhu Tiannan from the Taiqing Realm."

Zhu Tiannan's cultivation was even higher, and Chen Shi couldn't discern his true level, but he guessed that Zhu Tiannan was a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Although his status was not as high as that of Fairy Zhong, his cultivation was by no means weak.

Zhu Tiannan greeted him, saying, "Zhu Tiannan of the Renjiao Academy pays respects to the contemporary master."

Chen Shi was both surprised and delighted. He raised his hand slightly and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. I have come to Wuyue to quell the chaos of the immortals on the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerable. You all have talented people in the Three Pure Realms. You will not be lonely on the Execution Platform in the future."

He held Zhu Tiannan in high regard, not because Zhu Tiannan was polite, but because Zhu Tiannan addressed him as "Master".

Chen Shi looked around and laughed, "The Three Pure Ones Sect and the lords of the Western Paradise all want a share of the pie, to carve up the Heavenly Market City, treating the people's livelihood as nothing. Along my journey, you immortals and gods have fought a great war, and countless people in the Heavenly Market City have died or been injured. You all truly have no compassion for the people, and all your cultivation has been wasted!"

Enraged, the crowd slammed their fists on the table and stood up, their anger erupting.

Wu Yue Xingjun had already taken the lead, urging the Pingtian Tower to activate it, and said with a smile: "Today we will eliminate Chen Tianwang, storm the Gouchen Palace, force the Gouchen Emperor to abdicate, and let the Tian Shi Yuan have a new master!"

The seventh floor of Pingtian Tower vanished instantly, leaving only void beneath everyone's feet. In the sixth level of Pingtian Tower, a series of Qiongtai Luotian Tribulation Arrays erupted, like large circles encircling smaller circles, layer upon layer, covering an area of ​​300,000 li!

The six Jade Terrace Heavenly Tribulation Arrays, with tens of thousands of immortals, activated the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of these six heavens. Zhu Tiannan, Pi Laoxian, and others each entered one of the tribulation arrays, receiving the blessing of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and became like Great Golden Immortals!

However, despite the enhancement of the formation, their Dao Integration Realm was still far less vast than that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, only the size of a True Immortal's Dao Realm.

Even so, it is still extremely terrifying.

As for Immortal Xin, Monk Pan, Fairy Zhong, and True Man Mei, they sat in the air, their bodies radiating various colors of light, their primordial spirits standing behind them, displaying various Dharma forms, coldly observing.

They were Taiyi Golden Immortals, with powerful cultivation and high status, a generation higher than Zhu Tiannan, Pi Laoxian, and others, so they naturally had their own sense of pride.

Chen Shi looked down from his high vantage point at the six-layered formation and the tens of thousands of immortals.

Behind him, thunder roared in the void, and the Dao Ruins appeared, hanging upside down in the sky. Ten thousand immortals on Jin'ao Island had already set up an array, covering the Dao Ruins for 300,000 miles. The baleful aura condensed all kinds of grand Dao phenomena in the world, including the Immortal Dao, the Divine Dao, the Demonic Dao, and the Dark Overseas Dao, all of which were mobilized for him. The overwhelming power of the Dao suppressed from top to bottom!

The malevolent energy condensed into a form, like countless tentacles of a dark sea, stretching out from the Dao Ruins, invading the Heavenly Market Wall, and clinging to the void—it was the Myriad Immortals Grand Array!
"You wish to see the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of my Golden Turtle Island? As you desire!"
