My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Since ancient times, the four seas have been the domain ruled by the dragon race, who were once majestic and invincible. However, after the Dragon-Han Calamity, the dragon race gradually declined, and its former glory was gone.

As time went by, the cultivation grounds that originally belonged to the dragon race began to be coveted and gradually encroached upon by powerful figures from all sides.

For example, Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea and Zizhu Forest in the South China Sea would never have been occupied by the Jie Sect and Buddhism when the Dragon Clan was powerful.

The entire sea was divided into inner and outer parts. The inner sea was located near the four continents, and its waters were relatively shallow; this area was called the "shallow water" region. As the saying goes, "Shallow waters cannot raise dragons."

Similarly, this shallow sea is unlikely to nurture a true dragon. For the dragon race, which once dominated the four seas, this is undoubtedly a great disgrace.

The most unfortunate North Sea was even forcibly divided into the North Sea and the North Sea of ​​Darkness, with the North Sea of ​​Darkness completely occupied by the demon master Kunpeng.

By the time of the Human Emperor, the Dragon Clan had been driven to the brink of extinction and had no choice but to unite with the Human Clan and form an alliance.

It was only through the immense fortune of the human race that the dragon race was able to barely maintain its own existence.

During the reign of the Five Emperors, the dragon race was almost reduced to a vassal race of the human race. As long as the human emperor gave the order, the dragon race had to obey the summons and use their supernatural powers to summon wind and rain.

Unfortunately, this period of prosperity was short-lived. With the return of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the flourishing period of humankind's fortunes quietly came to an end. At this time, seeing that the situation had eased somewhat, the Dragon Clan gradually began to harbor some of their own ulterior motives...

Of course, there is no complete animosity between humans and dragons.

Back in the day, before the human race's fortunes had reached their peak, and before Shennong, one of the three human emperors, had attained enlightenment, the death of his beloved daughter was inextricably linked to the East Sea Dragon Clan.

The legend of Jingwei filling the sea is said to be the soul of Nüwa, the daughter of Shennong.

At that time, the human race had just begun to emerge. Although the entire human race was agitated and indignant because of this event, the Earth Emperor Shennong considered that the human race was still in the early stages of development. If they rashly antagonized the powerful dragon race, it would surely bring annihilation to the entire human race.

Therefore, for the sake of his people's future, the Earthly Emperor Shennong endured his grief and chose to remain silent and yield.

However, the rise of humanity was in accordance with the will of Heaven. Later, when the Human Emperor came to rule the world, he began to conquer all directions, and even the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had to come to assist the Human Emperor in governing the world in accordance with the will of Heaven.

Under such circumstances, the once invincible dragon race, especially the East Sea dragon race, could no longer withstand the onslaught of the human race and could only obediently kneel down and surrender.

But as time went by, the glorious era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors gradually faded away, and the Heavenly Court began to rise and become the new ruler.

At this time, the opportunistic dragons bowed down and submitted to the Heavenly Court. Such fickle behavior made the human race have a poor impression of the dragons.

Human cultivators consider fighting tigers, slaying dragons, and killing dragons to be the highest honor. In reality, whether it is the so-called "Jiao" or "Dragon," their target is none other than the dragon race.

Therefore, the human race felt no remorse or unease whatsoever about driving the demon race to the four seas, pursuing them under the guise of revenge, and even trying to eliminate the dragon race.

The human army united with those human cultivators who originally harbored ambitions of cultivation but were slandered as evil and heretical.

One side launches a strong attack from the front, while the other side quietly hides in the shadows to gather intelligence, act as spies, and clean up the mess after the battle.

It can be said that all forces that did not obey the human race were left in a sorry state.

Humanity has now almost driven all forces to the brink of destruction, and the two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa, have finally returned to the primordial world.

Those cultivators who had been nearly suffocated by the human race were finally able to catch their breath.

However, everyone unanimously chose to temporarily ignore the question of whether Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa could successfully defeat Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

After all, the facts speak for themselves: the Sage Taiqing is hailed as the foremost sage after the Dao Ancestor.

His strength is not merely a reputation.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. This formation was so powerful that it could only be broken by gathering the power of four saints.

When Yuanshi Tianzun broke into the sword formation alone, he was defeated and forced to flee in a sorry state.

However, when facing the Immortal Sage's Sword Formation, the Supreme Saint remained calm and composed. He showed no sign of panic and gradually figured out the weaknesses of the Immortal Sage's Sword Formation.

When the time was right, the Supreme Saint commanded the other three saints to work together and broke through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in one fell swoop.

This shows that the profound Taoist cultivation of the Sage Taiqing is beyond imagination, far surpassing that of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master.

It should be noted that the Sage of Taiqing was the one who broke the formation, and was already in a relatively disadvantageous position.

Even so, the Sage of Taiqing remained calm and composed.

Furthermore, regarding the Two Elements Micro Dust Array mastered by the Sage of Taiqing, although its killing power may be slightly inferior to that of the Master of Tongtian, it is far superior to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array in terms of trapping enemies.

Although the Zhuxian Sword Formation is known as "unbreakable by any but the Four Saints", "breaking the formation" here means breaking the formation itself, not that it can easily defeat the four saints.

Even if only one sage rashly enters the formation, even if he cannot break the formation, he can still rely on spiritual treasures and magic to resist the attack and escape.

However, if one falls into the Yin-Yang Microcosm Array formed by the Taiji Diagram, the situation is completely different. Even a saint would find it impossible to escape.

Not to mention the current Sage of Taiqing, whose cultivation and the technique of transforming one breath into three pure beings have been significantly enhanced, and whose strength has reached a level that inspires awe.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the five saints were to work together to fight the enemy, they would probably only be able to barely hold their own against the Supreme Saint and thus barely save face.

Although the immortals and gods were still secretly worried for the two saints, they were at least somewhat relieved.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were indeed incredibly powerful, even able to easily suppress Taiqing Saint to the point of being powerless to fight back.

However, due to the unique nature of the Journey to the West Calamity, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were unable to leave the westward journey. Therefore, they did not pose a significant threat to the other immortals and gods.

However, although Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were bound to the Journey to the West, their holy might permeated the entire world.

Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the more acute and clear one's perception of this sacred power becomes.

For this reason, those powerful individuals who had already reached the level of Quasi-Saint or even Great Luo Golden Immortal had no choice but to go into seclusion to protect themselves.

After all, while they remained clear-headed, the divine might of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi was like two sharp steel knives, constantly pressing against their necks, keeping them on edge at all times.

Although everyone knew very well that as long as they did not rashly trespass on the Journey to the West, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi would naturally be unable to pose a substantial threat to them.

Even knowing this, the feeling of being constantly on edge and restless is still extremely agonizing and unbearable.

The journey to the West is not only about whether Tang Sanzang and his disciples can obtain the scriptures and achieve enlightenment, but it is also closely linked to the safety of the entire world.

If someone chooses not to retreat into seclusion at this critical moment, they will inevitably be coerced by some unscrupulous people under the guise of righteousness, forcing them into calamity.

Since the return of the two saints, the situation has finally eased somewhat.

The holy might of the two saints was at least comparable to that of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, thus relieving the immortals and gods in the primordial world of the oppressive feeling of having a knife to their throats.

At the same time, with the two saints personally overseeing the situation, the human race had no choice but to restrain their power and temporarily shrink their sphere of influence.

With the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors presiding over them, the human race is indeed extremely powerful. Back then, Zhao Xuan meticulously created the Four Symbols Formation for the human race, which was incredibly powerful. As long as one hundred million human soldiers worked together to unleash this formation, they could unleash terrifying power comparable to a quasi-saint.

Today, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and powerful, with a military force of up to one billion soldiers. If they were all gathered together to form a formation, it would be equivalent to assembling a powerful force of ten quasi-saints!

Back then, after completing their respective missions, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were sealed in the Fire Cloud Cave by a decree from the Heavenly Dao, which stipulated that they could not leave until an immeasurable calamity descended.

However, as the Journey to the West eon has continued to develop and evolve to this day, its scale and influence are now almost comparable to the immeasurable eon.

Therefore, as the Tang Dynasty gradually grew stronger and developed to a certain extent, the human race began to think about how to successfully rescue the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as many human ancestors, who were trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave.

Five hundred years ago, although the Sage Taiqing and Zhao Xuan were acting, the human race was completely unaware of it.

They were unaware that the Supreme Saint and Zhao Xuan had secretly joined forces. Although the Heavenly Dao Saint was in charge, the human race still dared not rashly attack the seal of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Once the Sage Taiqing has achieved perfect merit, he will cooperate with Dijun, who is Zhao Xuan in disguise, and Donghuang Taiyi to seal himself away.

The situation changed. At this moment, there were no more sages in the world. Seeing this, the human race immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly contacted the sages in the Fire Cloud Cave.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, and after several efforts, they finally broke the seal that had sealed off Huoyun Cave for so long and rescued the many Huoyun Cave sages who were trapped inside.

The Fire Cloud Cave is sealed with as many as thirty-six highly respected sages. It is precisely because of the sealing of these sages that the fortune of the human race has been severely affected. The Human Emperor has also been reduced from the supreme destiny of nine-nine to the supreme destiny of nine-five, which is precisely because of the reduction of this crucial number of four nines.

Since being sealed in Huoyun Cave, these thirty-six sages have been unable to step out of the cave, and have no choice but to regard this long period of time as a period of secluded cultivation.

After countless years of dedicated cultivation, all thirty-six sages successfully attained the quasi-saint realm.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of primordial purple energy, they were unable to attain the true status of sages.

Even so, these thirty-six sages, with their extraordinary talent and perseverance, cultivated their respective skills to a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

As the group stepped out of the Fire Cloud Cave, the thirty-six sages, with their keen eyes, quickly discerned, with just a little calculation, that the cultivation path practiced by the human race and the Four Symbols Army Formation were extraordinary.

Such a unique and powerful method made these sages wonder if there was some earth-shattering powerhouse secretly helping the human race.

However, after careful consideration and calculation, they realized that this development would be of great benefit to the human race.

So, despite their lingering doubts, they decided to set aside their desire for further investigation and stop trying to figure out the truth.

Under the leadership of Emperor Fuxi, wise men pooled their wisdom and conducted a more in-depth and detailed study on the inheritance that Zhao Xuan had passed on to the human race, and improved and optimized it on this basis.

After discovering that the cultivation methods of the human race were suitable for large-scale military formations, the four major formations in the prehistoric world became the standard configuration for the human race.

With the addition of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and other sages, the fates of the human race became even more closely intertwined.

With the blessing of destiny, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, plus the current Emperor Li Shimin, constitute nine great formations capable of rivaling even a sage.

Even Zhao Xuan, who had originally taught these methods to the human race, couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this, marveling at the truly unfathomable potential of the primordial human race.

Indeed, the rise of the human race is now unstoppable, and its offensive is difficult to resist.

Looking across the entire primordial land, perhaps only the sage Nuwa still has a lingering bond with the human race, which can slightly hinder the human race's progress.

Even if all the other sages returned, they would be powerless to reverse the tide and turn the tide.

Therefore, the reason why Heaven summoned back the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Sage Nuwa was due to the circumstances and a helpless move.

Speaking of Yuanshi Tianzun, although he was slightly inferior to Taiqing Shengren in terms of Taoist cultivation and his ability to attack was not as good as Tongtian Shengren, Yuanshi Tianzun possessed an advantage that no other sage had—the Tao he practiced was the Tao of Elucidating Heaven, which emphasized conforming to the will of Heaven.

For this reason, in terms of the blessing of the power of Heaven, no saint can compare with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. He can mobilize far more divine blessings than anyone else.

Furthermore, due to the unique origin of Yuanshi Tianzun, who was transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, he was not subject to the interference and influence of the chaotic laws controlled by Pangu's consciousness.

Therefore, when Yuanshi Tianzun appeared in the primordial world, the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao directly descended into Yuanshi Tianzun's body, giving him powerful combat strength that surpassed the realm of Heavenly Dao Saints.

So, while the sage Nuwa was descending upon the human race to discuss matters, the Primordial Heavenly Lord was carrying the Chaos Banner and heading towards Mount Futu.

Clearly, he was preparing to use Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi alone to push his power to its peak.
