My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 231 Two Great Oaths, The Transfer Begins!
Bai Chijing ate another "fruit" nurtured by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu. It was still transformed from the greed of the Heavenly Dao of Banhu, but it was significantly different from the one before.

This fruit of greed, nurtured by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu, no longer tastes like a combination of "hatred" and "regret".

It's not "resentment"!
And it only has the flavor of "resentment".

Clearly, it was the loss of his own power during this period that made Banhu Heavenly Dao realize that something was wrong. However, because a certain cultivation technique was too evil, the entire process of nurturing was led by Banhu Heavenly Dao himself, without involving Bai Chijing at all. Therefore, even an existence like Banhu Heavenly Dao was completely unaware of it.

Bai Chijing only did one thing: wait for this "fruit" to ripen, and then pick it and eat it as soon as possible.

To avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu.

Thus, although Bai Chijing was still making attempts, he had focused his main efforts on the "Ten Greedy Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture".

He attempted to take this technique to the next level.

Unfortunately, Bai Chijing had already closed down, so a whole era passed and Bai Chijing gained nothing.

This "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" may have already reached its peak. If he wants to go further, Bai Chijing vaguely feels that he needs to gather the power of the two great oaths and then sacrifice himself to complete this method.

However, Bai Chijing could not predict what would happen after the agreement was fulfilled; even a true master like him could not know.

At this moment, the Banhu Realm returned to its former appearance, and in the void, in those patches of heaven and earth, near-Dao immortals were born once again.

Like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Because all the near-Dao Immortals in the world before had been "consumed" by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu. It can be said that, apart from the little girl Ling Jia, who regressed from the state of "false Banhu" to near-Dao Immortal, there has been no other near-Dao Immortal in this era.

This is the only "lone survivor".

However, as a result, there are too many vacant near-Dao positions in these worlds, which also makes it easier to become a near-Dao Immortal.

The reason why Zhixuan Heaven was so difficult back then was entirely because there were not many honored positions, and there were too many near-Dao immortals in Zhixuan Heaven. In addition, those near-Dao immortals in Zhixuan Heaven were making seniority-based distinctions and creating a hierarchy.

Currently, within the Zhixuan Heaven, which has not been devoured by the Banhu Heavenly Dao, the difficulty of successfully ascending to the throne is less than one percent of what it was when Bai Chijing ascended to the throne.

When Bai Chijing ascended the throne, he still had to go through many obstacles and hardships, and even needed the Heavenly Dao of Zhi Xuantian to prepare the "resources" for his ascension.

Now, heaven and earth spontaneously make way.

Those who practice the method created by Bai Chijing only need to be guided by some mysterious luck to easily break through to the next realm.

After all, the shortcut position has been vacant for too long.

In addition, it is also related to the fact that most of the Heavenly Venerables who ascended to the throne in this era were "old ascendants".

Although the Heavenly Dao of Banhu "devoured" all the near-Dao Heavenly Venerables in the previous void, the traces of these near-Dao Heavenly Venerables left in the world are still there.

Therefore, many near-Dao Celestial Venerables have been resurrected using their past selves.

Of course, after these near-Dao Celestial Venerables are resurrected, they will all need to re-ascend to their positions, unlike before when they could easily ascend to the throne.

Without the two great oaths, without the Heavenly Dao of Banhu and the fierce-eyed Banhu, the title of Heavenly Venerable of the Near-Dao Heavenly Venerable would be truly fitting, and would not be merely a title of respect as it is now.

Even if the position of the Near-Dao Venerable is gone, the cultivation of the Near-Dao has been severed, and the life and soul have been scattered, as long as there are still traces of the past, this Near-Dao Celestial Venerable can return from the dead!

What incredible power of creation!

It could be said that without attaining the status of a near-Taoist Celestial Venerable, one is ultimately just a rootless duckweed.

However, with the existence of Banhu Tiandao and Xiongyan Banhu, the realm of Near-Dao Celestial Venerable is merely a title. It's just that Banhu Tiandao and Xiongyan Banhu don't need these Near-Dao Immortals right now; otherwise, the life and death of these Near-Dao Immortals, their future paths of advancement, and even their lineages would all be clearly arranged.

As near-immortal cultivators gradually appeared in various realms, these realms once again ushered in their own golden age of cultivation, with outstanding figures emerging one after another.

And so, era after era passed, and the number of near-immortals continued to increase.

Logically speaking, such a golden age of cultivation should have given birth to many unparalleled figures. For example, the Three Emperors and the First Immortal of Zhixuan Heaven. But strangely, more than a dozen eras have passed, and not a single one of these unparalleled figures has appeared.

Moreover, Wei Zhixuan, the number one immortal of that time, now that all the immortals have returned from the dead, can only become a slightly stronger near-immortal, and can no longer reach the peak.

This is the seventeenth era since the appearance of the Banhu Realm, that is, the seventeenth era after the eight resounding cries of "Please follow the world." Such a long period of time also means that the Banhu Heavenly Dao and the fierce-eyed Banhu have begun to find their way.

The current strange situation is undoubtedly because these two true monks are making some attempts to find their way.

"Is this method truly feasible?" Within the Banhu Realm, the object, as large as the sun and shaped like an eye, hung high, its aura suppressing heaven and earth. Even the Banhu Heavenly Dao was suppressed by its aura.

Over the course of seventeen eras, the strength of the Banhu Heavenly Dao has diminished somewhat.

He could barely hold his own against the ferocious-eyed Banhu when it was at its peak, but now he was helpless and no longer a match for it.

The only solution is to escape immediately.

But the Heavenly Dao of Banhu could not possibly abandon this Banhu Realm, because he had been a true Banhu for far too long. So long that the power of "Please follow the world" had begun to grow impatient with him.

It should be noted that at the beginning, "Please follow the world" was only uttered once.

Later, it gradually became two tones, then three tones, then four tones, five tones... and now eight tones.

This eighth utterance of "Please follow the world" was, although it was triggered by the actions of that white thief, the root cause was that he had been in office for a long time without fulfilling his duties, which made the great oath on his body impatient with him.

Otherwise, given his unique background and the great oath he had sworn to accompany him for so many years, how could he possibly have given that white thief a chance to exploit him?
Moreover, the great oath was only given to the white thief in one-fifth of his power, barely making him a true Banhu, but it did not threaten him. In the end, it was just a warning to him using the white thief.

The "white thief" in the Heavenly Dao's understanding is undoubtedly Bai Chijing.

At this moment, sensing the aura of the fierce-eyed Banhu, Banhu Heavenly Dao was naturally displeased. However, his strength was already inferior to that of the fierce-eyed Banhu. So, while cursing Bai Chijing inwardly, he replied, "This method is based on the same principle as the Banhu beings I created before. While adhering to the rule of 'too much of a good thing,' it also breaks that rule. However, before, it was a deception to fool the two great oaths. This time, it's a substitution technique!"

"Within the realm of near-immortal, numerous restrictions are imposed to make things difficult for these near-immortals, forcing them to absorb our power to break through. Under this method, our power will inevitably gradually disperse. As long as there are enough near-immortals, we can become indistinguishable from the crowd. At that time, once a peerless figure emerges among these near-immortals, they will immediately gather our power, manifesting in the world of Banhu, replacing us, and departing!"

The Heavenly Dao of Banhu is explained in great detail.

Although he hasn't experienced much hardship, his character is still lacking. However, character is something that can always be distinguished from thought and wisdom.

Furthermore, Banhu Heavenly Dao had already made preparations for this beforehand, so seventeen epochs later, this new system was created by Banhu Heavenly Dao.

After listening to Banhu Tiandao's description, the fierce-eyed Banhu pondered for a moment and immediately felt it was feasible. So he said, "In this way, the future near-Dao immortals should prioritize killing and warfare. Let's do this: you and I will jointly refine nine supreme killing and warfare treasures, first displaying eight in the world to cultivate eight suitable near-Dao immortals, and then prepare some as backups."

"No."

Upon hearing this, Banhu Tiandao was unwilling. He also knew that the fierce-eyed Banhu had not been in this realm for long and lacked experience in confronting the two great oaths. Therefore, he took the initiative to explain: "Too much is as bad as too little. It is difficult to leave no trace if you act so deliberately. Only by letting it evolve on its own can it be seamless."

"Then let's refine a supreme weapon of slaughter to suppress the destiny of the Way of Slaughter?" Although the fierce-eyed Banhu knew that what Banhu said about the Heavenly Dao was all true, if she didn't do it this way, it would seem that she had no participation at all.

How can she then seize control of this newly created system?

"So good."

Banhu Tiandao saw through Banhu's scheme, but he was completely indifferent to this kind of control. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained completely silent in the past.

Even if they were alerted by the White Thieves, they only managed to create the Twelve Heavenly Heart Gates.

The only things he cared about were the two vows.

"What should we do with Bai Chijing?" Seeing that Banhu Tiandao was cooperating, the fierce-eyed Banhu took the initiative to speak. Her intention was to help Banhu Tiandao retrieve the one-fifth of the Great Oath he had lost.

"Neither you nor I can enter that outer heaven." Upon hearing this, Banhu Tiandao's voice, which permeated the heavens and earth like the sound of the Dao, sounded quite helpless.

After Bai Chijing became a true Banhu, he could have entered the Banhu Realm, but he voluntarily gave it up and thus gained the protection of the two great oaths, which led to the creation of the Outer Heaven.

That outer heaven, in truth, is somewhat inferior to the Heaven of Knowledge. However, the restrictions imposed by the two great oaths allow this outer heaven to block the Heavenly Dao of Banhu and the fierce-eyed Banhu.

“I don’t believe he would be willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill the two great oaths. In tens of thousands of years, when this method of grafting flowers and trees matures, let him join in as well,” the fierce-eyed gourd declared.

Banhu Tiandao was somewhat unwilling, because he had been feeling increasingly uneasy about his body lately. However, since the fierce-eyed Banhu was currently in his peak condition and had taken the initiative to make the decision, it was clear that he would not be allowed to object.

In that instant, Banhu Tiandao hated Bai Chijing again.

After all, if Bai Chijing hadn't taken one-fifth of his great oath, how could he have ended up in this state?
Now they even have to endure the suppression of this fierce-looking gourd?
The Heavenly Dao of Banhu is undoubtedly powerful, so in that instant, a "fruit" ripened silently.

Then, an invisible hand silently took away this "fruit".

Unlike in the past, this time, as the "fruit" was taken away, a noticeable change immediately appeared in Banhu Tiandao.

He made a great vow, and another fifth of it will be gone!
