Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 744 Innate Treasure, Number One in the World (Part 2)

"This treasure has been nourished by the Great Dao of the Heavens and is connected to the Heavenly Heart of all Realms. Therefore, once it is born, it will surely be a matter of preordained destiny..."

At this point, the purple-robed Taoist paused slightly.

Inside the main hall, Daoist Tianyun seemed to realize something and was filled with unease.

Although he was a member of the Great Luo Heavenly Gate, he could only sit at the very bottom of the table in this hall. He felt uneasy when his master summoned him alone, and he was even more apprehensive when he heard words such as "Embryo of the Heavenly Realm", "Golden List of the Other Shore" and "Heart of the Myriad Realms".

The purple-robed Taoist paused only slightly, and the Heavenly Cloud Taoist felt a sense of suffocation, saying in trepidation:

"Brother, I fear I am not up to the task."

"A great mission? I suppose so..."

The purple-robed Taoist was somewhat speechless, and said:

"Tianyun, what is the other shore?"

"what?"

Upon hearing the question, Daoist Tianyun composed himself and replied, "In the ancient times, the Primordial Buddha once said, 'The sea of ​​suffering of birth and death is reached, but the other shore offers liberation…'"

How to transcend?

The purple-robed Taoist asked again.

"This……"

Daoist Tianyun shook his head blankly: "This disciple does not know."

"Even I don't know."

The purple-robed Taoist smiled and said:
"That old Buddha's words are always ethereal and unreliable. Whether the end of the Tao is the other shore is still unknown, but this golden list does indeed contain some of the Taoist essence of 'the sea of ​​suffering of life and death, and the other shore of transcendence'."

The more gently the Great Luo Daoist spoke, the more uneasy Tianyun Daoist became. This was not the treatment a lowly disciple like himself should receive.

"Before the ages, the Mother of Ten Thousand Kun attained the cycle of reincarnation and sought to govern the principles of life and death, reincarnation, and yin and yang. Although she did not succeed, she still gave us much to learn..."

The purple-robed Taoist patiently explained the origin of the Golden List of the Other Shore.

Daoist Tianyun calmed his mind and listened attentively.

One century ago, when the Origin God Dynasty was already showing signs of destruction, the Primordial Buddha conceived the idea of ​​forging a treasure. After the God Dynasty was destroyed, the Great Luo Heaven Ancestor also agreed.

Afterwards, all the gods together cast this treasure.

"The present world is Yang, and the void is Yin. The myriad transformations of Yin and Yang are interdependent, and life and death are also contained within them... Why is it so difficult to escape life and death when one is in harmony with the Dao?"

"Nothing more than this: all paths intertwine, the great principles govern all. To defy life and death, one must shake the present world of the Void, thus encompassing the paths of all Dao Lords and Heavenly Sovereigns from the beginning of time to the present..."

The purple-robed Taoist paused, saw his disciple's blank expression, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Those who are listed on the Golden List may be able to reverse the fate of all beings in the heavens. From then on, their bodies will die but their Dao will not perish. They may even be able to re-enter the mortal world and not be oppressed by the myriad paths!"

"Reversing life and death?!"

Daoist Tianyun was greatly shocked. If these words had not come from his master, he would never have believed them.

Throughout history, there have been many cultivators who defied the heavens and lived a second life, but that was by no means a reversal of life and death!

"My master summoned me here..."

Suddenly, Daoist Tianyun realized something, and his heart skipped a beat.

"This treasure is about to appear, yet not quite appearing; it is about to be completed, yet not quite completed..."

The purple-robed Taoist said:
"Tianyun, would you like to be the number one person on the list?"

"..."

Daoist Tianyun stiffened, and bowed with a wry smile:

"How dare I disobey my master's command?"

Aren't the lowest-ranking disciples human?

Old Taoist Tianyun felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

"Do you harbor resentment?"

The purple-robed Taoist glanced at him, and the latter lowered his eyelids, repeatedly saying, "I dare not."

"That's it."

The purple-robed Taoist asked, "Tianyun, how many more cycles of life do you have left?"

"Reporting to Master, if we do not suffer calamity, we should still have twelve more cycles."

Daoist Tianyun had mixed feelings.

The purple-robed Taoist asked again, "Twelve cycles is neither short nor long; is there any hope of advancing further?"

“Maybe not.”

Tianyun Daoren felt increasingly bitter.

"That means there isn't any left."

The purple-robed Taoist nodded and looked at his disciple, who was speechless with emotion: "Your inclusion on the list this time will likely have two outcomes."

Taoist Tianyun bowed.

"The first possibility is that the Golden List can reverse life and death. As the number one person on the list, you can reverse life and death and live a second life. However, the hope is slim."

Second life!
Even though his master said the hope was slim, Daoist Tianyun couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

"The second outcome is that you do not receive a lifespan in the mortal realm, but you can freely travel between the present world and the underworld without any loss of your lifespan in the underworld, or perhaps, your lifespan in the underworld is doubled..."

The purple-robed Taoist said.

"this?"

Daoist Tianyun couldn't help but wonder, how could this sound like such a great thing?

But he soon realized the downsides of this list.

"However, those who make it onto this list may find their cultivation level stagnating."

The purple-robed Taoist priest listed out all the advantages and disadvantages.

"This……"

Daoist Tianyun frowned. Although he had made almost no progress over the past few decades, he still had the heart of a Dao Lord: "May I ask, Master, once you are on the list, will your cultivation never increase?"

"Yes."

The purple-robed Taoist nodded:

"Whether or not you are on this list is your own decision."

Daoist Tianyun fell silent. After frowning and pondering for a long time, he took a deep breath and said:

"This disciple wishes to be number one on this list!"

The purple-robed Taoist gave him a deep look:
"it is good."

Follow your words.

The moment he heard his master's voice, Daoist Tianyun felt everything go black before his eyes, and his body and soul were annihilated.

"Om~"

Divine light rose from the Great Luo Hall and then pierced through the hall.

A faint, divine sound spread rapidly from the center of the Great Luo Palace, with vast ripples of Dao patterns surging and undulating in the void, reaching far and wide.

"The Golden List of the Other Shore!"

In the secluded bamboo forest of Dongxuan Mountain, the Bitter Sea Bell suddenly swayed. Inside the bamboo house, Daoist Tianyu slowly raised his head. Ripples spread between existence and non-existence, and various Daoist principles and laws seemed to appear and disappear:
Is it time for this list to be released?

The vast ripples radiated outwards to the ruins and the present world.

In the present world, great cultivators from all realms gazed intently, and were all shocked, feeling as if invisible ripples were spreading and surging, as if they were about to cover all the realms.

In the dim light, the Bodhisattva Xuan Yuan suddenly stopped, looked in the direction indicated, and was also surprised:

"The Golden List on the Other Shore..."

Not far from the Bodhisattva Xuanyuan, in a desolate and desolate place, the old fisherman Yanbo, who was fishing, sensed something, subconsciously made a finger gesture, and then let out a muffled groan.

"A Great Luo Dao Venerable?!"

The old fisherman was startled and then disappeared into nothingness. He took out the Sphere of Knowledge and saw the 'Interface of Gods' flashing violently, alarming countless ancient beings.

The present world, the Void, and even the deepest dimensional realms within the Void.

All cultivators above the Inflection Dao level felt a tremor in their hearts, sensing an indescribable, boundless Dao essence and hearing a divine sound from an unknown source.

"This is……"

In that instant, within and beyond the Ruins of Return, across countless dimensions, countless powerful cultivators were shaken. The stronger their cultivation, the more they could sense the terror contained within that divine voice.

Countless people have tried to calculate, divine, and even opened their divine eyes to peek, but all have suffered backlash, ranging from dizziness to coughing up blood.

Whether it's the Mind's Eye, the Mystic Mirror, the Primordial Spirit Perception, or other supernatural abilities like Heaven's Eye and Earth's Hearing, none of them are as clear as what the naked eye can see at this moment.

"This is... a supreme treasure appearing in the world?"

In the underworld, Yuanming Daoist was startled.

He had witnessed Dao Jun attaining enlightenment more than once, and this aura was somewhat similar to his, but its radiation seemed to be even more profound, more like a sign of a supreme treasure appearing in the world.

"The Underworld Tower!"

As Yuanming Daoren conceived the idea, he raised his hand and communicated with the underworld. As the Great Yin Virtue was deducted, Dao patterns seemed to intertwine in his eyes, and his gaze instantly pierced through the boundless void.

In a daze, he saw a boundless sea with endless divine patterns flowing within it; it was the 'Boundary Sea'.

Waves rise in the boundary sea, and ripples spread.

He vaguely saw a huge map, seemingly covering the entire sea of ​​realms, its color a pale gold, and it seemed to contain countless Dao essences, resembling a giant golden list!

But it only lasted for a moment. The ripples continued to spread, but the golden list had already disappeared, impossible to trace or grasp, as if it had completely vanished into nothingness.

"puff!"

The next instant, Daoist Yuanming coughed up blood and collapsed. With a crack, the Netherworld Tower he was in actually split open!

……

All was silent, all thoughts turned to ashes.

After what seemed like a fleeting moment, yet also like an immeasurably long period of time, a thought suddenly popped into Tianyun Daoren's mind:
"Is this the world after death?"

With a single thought, the vanished senses return.

"No, I'm still alive!"

Daoist Tianyun suddenly came to his senses and felt that the golden light around him was like a boundless sea: "This is..."

"The Golden List on the Other Shore".

The magnificent divine sound seemed to flow down from the sky. Daoist Tianyun slowly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the boundless starry sky, and saw his master.

"Shh!"

The next instant, he felt his body lighten, and he was back in the Great Luo Palace.

"how?"

The purple-robed Taoist looked at his disciple.

"Master..."

Daoist Tianyun was momentarily dazed, but then focused his mind and sensed it carefully.

As he focused his mind, he was startled. He felt an incomparably vigorous vitality. Since his lifespan had been exhausted, the decaying energy that had lingered in his origin had disappeared.

It's like living a second life!

"what?"

"If there's no sign of lifespan, how can the putrid smell have dissipated?"

"Ok?"

One terrifying divine thought after another pierced through the void and descended into the Great Luo Palace.

Under the interaction of Qi, it seems that endless wonders arise and disappear.

"God!"

Tianyun Daoist felt a chill in his heart, and the joy of the decay being completely gone seemed to vanish.

Because those terrifying divine thoughts were converging on his body at this moment, making him feel chilled to the bone and his mind tremble.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and the numerous divine thoughts finally subsided, transforming into a terrifying figure woven from beams of immortal light.

Daoist Tianyun lowered his head, feeling as if he couldn't breathe properly.

"Unable to reverse life and death..."

"His lifespan in the underworld is doubled, while his lifespan in the mortal world remains unaffected. Yet, all decay is gone, but it is not a second life..."

“Strange, strange…”

Inside the Great Luo Palace, a group of Heavenly Lords descended, their divine senses restrained, yet still scrutinizing the trembling Daoist Tianyun.

"Can my cultivation level be increased?"

Daoist Tianyun heard a whisper, and then felt a heat between his brows. An unimaginable magical power poured into his small Daoist temple through an unseen connection.

Then, he felt the heavens tremble, as if parched land that had been dry for countless years had received sweet rain, and he was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow~"

In less than a moment, Daoist Tianyun felt his magical power surge dramatically, as if boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth was pouring into his body.

This one move alone is equivalent to thousands of years of arduous cultivation after his lifespan is exhausted!
"The Dharma Heaven can transform, and magical power can increase..." "Those on the list can actually improve their realm?"

"Fun, interesting..."

The sheer number of gods watching was terrifying. Even with his cultivation level having increased dramatically, Daoist Tianyun felt short of breath. Then, he heard one of the gods mutter to himself:

"A single piece of evidence is not enough; let's try again..."

"call!"

Out of the corner of Tianyun Daoist's eye, he saw an unseen Heavenly Lord raise his hand and press down, and an invisible aura tore through the void, descending upon a vast world shrouded in celestial light.

"Red Sky!"

The moment the thought crossed Tianyun Daoren's mind, he heard a muffled 'poof' sound. He saw that an old cultivator in the Crimson Sky had not even had time to utter a sound before he turned to ashes and disappeared.

"..."

Upon witnessing this scene, the bitterness in Tianyun Daoren's heart suddenly dissipated, and he realized that his master was truly a model of the God of Heaven.

"Om~"

The Great Luo Hall was completely silent.

All the Heavenly Lords looked at the Golden List of the Other Shore in the hands of the purple-robed Taoist, and saw that divine runes flowed on it, transforming into a line of primordial divine runes:
[The Crimson Heaven Lord, Zi Ying Daoist, a half-step into the Ninth Realm, perished at the hands of the Crimson Heaven Lord...]

"Fellow Daoist Chiming is truly decisive in killing."

The purple-robed Taoist glanced at the pale-faced Tianyun Taoist, flicked his finger, and the line of Origin Divine Script flowed out of the golden book, transforming into a bewildered old cultivator.

"I am..."

Master Ziying raised his head, still somewhat dazed, but then his body stiffened, and he almost fainted.

Terrifying gazes converged upon him, causing his Dharma Heaven to tremble as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

God!

A group of Catholics!
Master Ziying was stunned, almost thinking he had gone mad from practicing qi cultivation.

"wrong!"

Zi Ying Daoist heard a whisper from a celestial being, and then felt a flicker of light and shadow all around him. When he came to his senses, he was already back in his cave.

"The decaying aura has dissipated, but the realm has solidified, magical power can be accumulated, and the Dharma Heaven has become rigid!"

In less than a moment, the gods had reached a conclusion.

"Perhaps it's a coincidence?"

Daoist Tianyun heard a Heavenly Lord mutter to himself, and then he saw the golden list in his master's hand tremble again, and a similarly bewildered figure appeared in the Great Luo Hall.

"The realm has been solidified!"

"wrong……"

Under the horrified gaze of Daoist Tianyun, within just a few breaths, more than a dozen elderly cultivators appeared in the Great Luo Palace.

"call!"

With a wave of his hand, he cleared the Great Luo Hall, and the purple-robed Taoist calmly spoke:
"The person who tops the list may be different."

"Indeed, they are different."

One of the gods nodded and said, "When this disciple of yours was listed, the Golden List of the Other Shore had not yet been created. He was born with the Golden List. Although he cannot be considered a second life, his realm has not been solidified."

"That's how it should be."

All the Catholics also came to a conclusion.

As Tianyun Daoist was trembling with fear, he suddenly saw a flash of light before his eyes, and those terrifying figures disappeared. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Inside the Great Luo Palace.

The purple-robed Taoist, having seen his disciple off, casually handed the golden list to the other Heavenly Lords.

"The innate destiny!"

"It's a pity that it wasn't nourished by the myriad paths; otherwise, it might have been a priceless treasure."

"Across the present world of Guixu, besides the Nine Realms of Guixu and our Daoist temples, there are several forbidden lands that cannot be contained..."

All the Heavenly Lords participated in refining this treasure. After examining it for a while, the golden list returned to the purple-robed Taoist.

"Brother Daoist, may I have the privilege of viewing the Golden List?"

The Lord of the Mysterious Embryo was enveloped in divine light, his voice gentle and warm.

The other Heavenly Lords also looked at the purple-robed Taoist, who nodded slightly.
"We shall open this together!"

He tossed the golden list into the air, and a wisp of Daoist light popped out randomly. All the Heavenly Lords also raised their hands and released their respective auras.

"Om~"

Nourished by the divine essence of the celestial lords, the golden proclamation hanging in the Great Luo Palace slowly unfurled. Intricate divine runes, interwoven like a vast sea, rippled outwards, spreading out characters like waves:
[All paths intertwine, revealing the essence of Yin and Yang...]

This scroll of the Golden List of the Other Shore was forged from the essence of the Dao of the various Gods. When it was born, it touched all the Dao, its energy spreading and radiating to the present world and the void, and it had a penetrating view of all realms.

Apart from the Daoist Lord and the Heavenly Lord, there is nothing that he does not observe and nothing that he does not see.

"Om~"

Ripples spread across the golden list, and faintly, one could see countless lights and shadows rising and falling, and countless names and titles rising and falling within it.

After a few breaths, under the watchful eyes of all the gods, it transformed into a giant list, one on the left and one on the right.

These are the [List of Lifespans in the Underworld] and the [List of Lifespans in the Living World], respectively.

However, the Yin Life Ranking flickered and changed, and the Dao essence within it flowed, but it remained unsettled for a long time.

"Ok?"

The purple-robed Taoist seemed to sense something. When he flicked his finger, a light and shadow suddenly appeared on the Yin Life List, and then vanished into silence.

But in that fleeting glimpse, the gods still saw that the light and shadow that flashed by was a huge palace surrounded by chaotic energy.

"Pantheon."

The Crimson Heavenly Lord snorted coldly: "Your reaction was quite quick."

"The appearance of the list of successful candidates has caused such a great stir that it is not surprising that there has been a reaction."

The Lord of Yuandongtian pointed at the 'Longevity List', and the names and titles on it became clear from being blurry.

[First on the Longevity Ranking: Crimson Heaven True Disciple, Crimson Dragon True Man...]

[Second on the Longevity Ranking: True Transmission of Yuan Dongtian, Xuan Zhou Daoist...]

[Third on the Longevity Ranking: The Great Luo Heavenly True Transmission, Floating Dragon Daoist...]

[Fourth on the Longevity List: The True Transmission of Brahma, the Great Vajra of the Dharma...]

……

The golden list is only as tall as one person, yet the words within it flow like a waterfall, with billions of characters appearing every instant, encompassing all the heavens and myriad realms, including all cultivators and strange beasts whose lifespans have not yet ended.

"Too complicated."

The purple-robed Taoist shook his head slightly and raised his hand to press down.

With a tremor, the Lifespan Ranking split into three: [Battle], [Realm], and [Foundation]. Countless Daoist titles and names were then listed on the three rankings.

"what?"

After the three lists were displayed, all the gods couldn't help but look at the Crimson Heaven God.

The Crimson Dragon Daoist, a true disciple of the Crimson Heaven, is ranked number one on all three lists!

"Foundation first, realm first, combat first... It seems the next Dao Lord will emerge from the Crimson Heaven!"

The purple-robed Taoist clapped his hands in praise.

The Golden List of the Other Shore overlooks all the heavens and realms. Apart from those who may be trapped in a desperate situation, all those in the present world whose lifespan has not yet ended are listed on this list.

The Crimson Dragon Daoist reigns supreme on all three lists, and is likely only half a step away from becoming a Dao Lord.

"Thank you for your kind words, brother."

The divine light surrounding the Crimson Heavenly Lord dissipated, and his outward appearance revealed him to be a tall, middle-aged man, clearly in a very good mood.

"Number one on all three lists."

The Lord of Yuandong Heaven also expressed his admiration, but suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder how he compares to my young friend Tianyu back then?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Luo Hall fell silent for a moment, and the expressions of all the Heavenly Lords changed. Many even looked at the Wuji Heavenly Lord, who had not uttered a word since his arrival.

"How can a mere junior compare to young friend Tianyu?"

It was the Crimson Heavenly Lord who took over: "Back then, Tianyu was only a hair's breadth away from attaining the position of God-King. Even we back then might not have been able to match him..."

"It's a pity that young friend Tianyu couldn't live a second life; proving the position of God-King in one lifetime is ultimately too difficult..."

A divine intervention was made to ease the tension.

The Lord of Wuji remained silent, only giving the Lord of Yuandong a cold glance before turning away.

"In this great era, if one can seize the Golden List and ascend to the supreme position in the universe, whether it is Crimson Dragon, Xuan Zhou, Floating Dragon, or Po Fa, they all have the possibility of attaining the position of God King in one lifetime!"

One of the gods sighed, then changed the subject, pointing to the Great Luo Dao Venerable:
What do you think, fellow Daoist?

All the Heavenly Lords looked at the purple-robed Taoist, who raised his hand, took down the golden list, and said calmly:
"The treasures of the primordial world are born with spiritual essence, and the master of the Golden List shall be chosen by himself!"

Red Heaven God echoed:

"As it should be."

The Lord of Yuandong Heaven and the Lord of Dafan Heaven also expressed their agreement.

The other Catholics, though their expressions varied, all nodded.

"good!"

Immediately, the divine thoughts vanished into nothingness.

The main hall fell silent.

"The Longevity Ranking..."

On the high platform, the purple-robed Taoist gently stroked the golden list, and ripples spread from his fingertips.

In a fleeting moment, he sensed something, his gaze lowered, and he looked towards the Dongxuan Mountain on the ninth level of Guixu.

……

"Boom!"

The moment the incomplete Five Realms strangely fell into the Divine Realm, Li Yuan felt a sudden heaviness between his brows, almost knocking his head to the ground, and his vision went black.

The weight of the Five Realms of Deception is truly excessive.

But he seemed oblivious, letting his mind churn, focusing his attention on the Niwan point, where streams of the Five Emperors' magical power burned fiercely, transforming into immense force that poured into his divine realm.

"boom!"

The divine realm roared and trembled, as if even the Primordial Five Extremes Mountain could not completely suppress it.

The nine true forms cried out in unison, transforming into streaks of light that plunged into the eerie land, unleashing various spells to dismantle it.

"The Lord of this strange land must have been at the peak of the Fifth Realm in his lifetime, otherwise the incomplete strange land wouldn't be so heavily damaged..."

Li Yuan multitasked, channeling his magical power to communicate with the Hunyuan Five Extremes Mountain, using various means to maintain the balance of the divine realm, awaiting the dismantling of the strange land by the nine true forms.

The transformation of the Golden Core is not merely about devouring the strange land; otherwise, a superior-grade pill would not have surprised the God King.

"The realm of the Golden Elixir lies in the Niwan point, in the various techniques and supernatural powers learned, and in magical power... The so-called tenth realm is the external realm!"

"The exterior scenery is the world itself!"

"Only when the Divine Realm becomes the Dharma Realm can it transform from the illusory to the real, and then touch the Void Realm in the present world. And if you want to forge a superior-grade Great Pill, you must touch the Void Realm with the Divine Realm..."

Li Yuan had already thoroughly comprehended the Golden Core Transformation Method. When the strange land was dismantled and shattered by its true form, he changed his mind, and the Five Extreme Mountains of Hunyuan trembled together.

Five extremely dazzling divine lights shot out, blasting the strange land's remains into dust, and then dispersed, piercing through the five extremes of the divine realm!
"Boom!"

Li Yuan felt a chill run through his body. If he broke through the Divine Realm, his three elements would be incomplete. In just a moment, he would fall from his realm, or even suffer a qi deviation.

But the transformation of the Super Grade Dan happens in that instant!
"Wow!"

"Roar!"

The nine true forms cried out in unison, carrying the remains of the strange land to mend the gap in the divine realm.

Almost simultaneously, the Hunyuan Five Extremes Mountain trembled violently and expanded at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed, and it also extended beyond the Divine Realm!
"Wow!"

The destruction and restoration of the divine realm happened in an instant, but Li Yuan heard a sound like a raging storm. Immediately afterward, the mist in the divine realm rose and turned into a torrential downpour.

This is rain formed from spiritual energy, originating from beyond the divine realm!

As the heavy rain fell, the energy of the divine realm changed at a visible speed, and there were faint signs that it was transforming from the ethereal to the tangible.

"Done?"

Seeing this, Li Yuan dared not be careless. He focused his mind and even activated the Commanding Weapon Scroll to control the Five Extremes Scripture.

This will help him solidify his foundation and forge a superior product.

"Om~"

The purple-robed Taoist withdrew his gaze and looked at the gently trembling golden list.

But then he saw divine light surging within the Foundation Ranking, and a name flashed intensely. Under his gaze, it leaped several times, instantly jumping to the top of the ranking, tied for first place with the Crimson Dragon Daoist!

[Ranked first on the Foundation Ranking: Li Yuan, disciple of Daluotian and Dongxuan Mountain!]
