Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The Heavenly Emperor and Li Yuan were initially unaware of what was happening in the Heavenly Realm.

This turmoil wasn't something they deliberately condoned; rather, some individuals colluded in private and only dared to act after discovering that the Dao Venerables and Emperors had quietly left and disappeared.

When they sensed it, they were already in a mysterious, unknown place in a corner of chaos.

"Should we go back to oversee things?"

Venus bowed respectfully and asked the Heavenly Emperor and others for instructions.

The Heavenly Emperor stood amidst a hazy, iridescent light, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space.

"If the Three Realms require the Daoist Emperor to be present at all times, otherwise even the most basic order cannot be maintained, then... the Heavenly Court and the gods have no reason to exist."

"Those wicked fools, with their narrow-mindedness, cannot comprehend the level of a Dao Venerable Emperor. What they think is a deception is actually being watched by us!"

The Underworld Emperor sneered and turned to look at the Three Realms.

Yuan Zun, dressed in a green robe and white gown, with a tall and slender figure and flowing hair, also turned around and left.

"Unquenchable disloyalty, unstoppable greed."

"Whether they are gods or demons, they've only changed their identities. Who is more noble than whom..."

A rare hint of complexity and sadness filled Li Yuan's eyes.

One's original intentions and aspirations are hard to define and maintain; once one falls into them, there is no turning back.

Some of those who ascended to immortality in Anshan were entangled in corruption and crossed the red line. Even though Li Yuan felt sorrow and reluctance, he would not show them any mercy.

As a Source Lord, I have already secretly brought them enough benefits and privileges. If I show any more favoritism or leniency, I'm afraid I'll really become a cancer in the future.

"Heavenly rules are majestic, and the law shows no mercy."

The Heavenly Emperor walked forward with his hands behind his back, stepping into a mysterious passage where spacetime was disordered and the laws of nature were obscured, without looking back.

The Earth Mother Goddess radiated a pure white light, her beauty unparalleled, her eyes filled with helplessness: "I only hope that this turmoil will not implicate innocent lives."

The Queen Mother of the West is majestic and dignified, with elegant and graceful bearing, and her attire is magnificent and luxurious.

"This is a calamity of the extraordinary, and it will not affect mortals. I believe that the God of Justice and others will know what to do."

Several Daoist emperors and high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court continued forward, showing no intention of returning to oversee the Three Realms.

They're just some rats who dare not face the light of day. No matter how cunning and scheming they are, they can't withstand the overwhelming absolute combat power of top experts like Li Xiaoan and Xuan Chi.

If such a small matter could cause unrest in the Heavenly Court or even the Three Realms, it means that the God of Justice and others have not yet truly matured and still need to train.

After traversing a bizarre and mysterious dimension, the group arrived at an extremely special space.

The Daoist teachings are not manifest here; it is separated from the chaos, like a deep world opened up by the three Celestial Venerables in the void.

The mountains and rivers are distant, the floating clouds are boundless, and the Taoist temple contains wondrous palaces.

At the edge of the world lies a continuous mountain range, which, viewed horizontally, resembles a coiled dragon, and viewed vertically, a pouncing tiger.

In front of the mountains lies a large lake, deep and clear, like a pure blue gemstone adorning the earth.

Sunlight streams down from the sky, reflecting shimmering light and shadow on the lake. Reflected by the strange rocks at the bottom of the lake, it seems to create a blue sun in the water, a truly amazing spectacle.

The combination of the two is truly a place highly revered by the Taoist sects of this region as a "coiled dragon and leaping tiger, a place of extraordinary yang energy."

Given the status of the Three Heavenly Venerables, they naturally do not need to reside in wondrous mountains and lands. However, the disciples of the Heavenly Venerables have always lived in seclusion in this small world to cultivate.

The Heavenly Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Underworld Emperor, the Earth Mother, the Source Lord, the Supreme Lord Laozi, Venus, the Blood Prison King, the Underworld Elder, the Bone Ancestor... almost all the top powerhouses and high-ranking figures in the Three Realms came to the appointment.

The Three Venerable Ones did not put on airs. Instead, they stood behind the azure lake and waited for their distinguished guests in front of the mountain gate built of bluestone.

This was also the first time Li Yuan had ever truly met these three Celestial Venerables.

The man appeared to be an elderly man in his eighties, with a kind face and a serene demeanor, and was known as the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Purity.

A serious-looking middle-aged man with a solemn expression and a steady demeanor, known as the Mysterious Heavenly Venerable of All Worlds.

One of them was a handsome young man with a smile on his lips, unruly and arrogant, known as the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Transformations.

The two sides exchanged formal greetings and pleasantries, creating a harmonious and congenial atmosphere.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three celestial beings, all with smiles on their faces, extended their hands to invite everyone into the mountain gate.

Everyone smiled and returned the greeting. Each of them possessed extraordinary temperament and dignified demeanor. Even Li Yuan and the Blood Prison King kept their eyes straight ahead, their faces solemn.

The mountain road was winding and the scenery was beautiful. When the disciples encountered this group of people on the way, they all bowed and knelt down, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

The younger disciples showed expressions of awe and admiration, clearly having already heard about the events within the Three Realms.

The three Celestial Venerables need no further introduction; they are their ancestral masters.

Now, those who have come to the Celestial Venerable's Small World are all powerful figures who have shaken the Three Realms. At the very least, they are top-tier experts who hold power in one region of the Heavenly Court. Even His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has personally come!

And then there's that Source Venerable, whose growth has been nothing short of astonishing. He is the Dao Venerable of this era, suppressing the great calamity, and his reputation is renowned. Many disciples under the Heavenly Venerable have long admired him.

"Lord Yuan... Not bad! Not bad! Come, this Heavenly Venerable will introduce you to someone!"

As they strolled along the mountain path, enjoying the scenery, the young-looking Celestial Venerable, without any hesitation, walked directly to Li Yuan's side and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Yuan had heard the name of the Three Venerables for a long time, and was somewhat flattered by such kind enthusiasm. He clasped his hands in response, "Oh? I wonder what Senior is referring to..."

The Young Celestial Venerable, also known as the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations, traces its origins back to the otherworldly counterpart of the Celestial Venerable of the Spiritual Treasure among the Three Pure Ones in the mythical chaos.

Countless ages ago, when a crucial decision was made, the world line split into two parallel lines, thus giving birth to the story of this chaotic world.

The two worlds are like two similar flowers, growing side by side on the same plant. They seem to be far apart by many chaotic things, heading towards their own glorious futures, but in reality, they are inseparable.

Therefore, Li Yuan has always held the mysterious Three Venerables in high regard and harbored a subtle fondness for them.

The young Celestial Venerable moved with a rather dashing and unrestrained air, pulling him along a mountain path to the side. He casually parted the dense foliage, revealing a small clearing not far away.

To be polite, Li Yuan did not use his abilities to spy, but instead cast his gaze upon the scene himself.

"Little Tiger!"

He was shocked, but a hint of relief and joy couldn't be hidden on his face.

On that open space, a dark-skinned young man sat cross-legged, meditating.

Although his face was somewhat youthful, it vaguely resembled his appearance in his previous life, and Li Yuan recognized him at a glance.

After parting ways in the underworld, Xiao Hu said he wanted to live an ordinary life, but he never expected to be taken in by the Heavenly Venerable in this life.

The young Celestial Venerable put Lin Ye down, letting him return to his original position, thus concealing the situation in the small open space.

"Well, Yuan Zun, you've come from afar. Are you pleased to see this scene?"

The handsome and dashing young Celestial Venerable raised an eyebrow at Li Yuan, his face showing a hint of unruly laughter.

Li Yuan smiled and sighed, cupped his fists and bowed to the young Celestial Venerable, and then bowed to the three Celestial Venerables.

"This junior thanks the three celestial venerables for their kindness."

The young Celestial Venerable waved his hand, his smile unchanged.

"There's no need for thanks. He was originally my disciple, but he had shortcomings in his cultivation in his previous life and refused to live a life of dishonor, so he chose to dissolve himself."

"I never expected that after being reincarnated into the Three Realms and going through several cycles of reincarnation, I would even form a good karmic connection with the Source Lord."

The remaining two Celestial Venerables also bowed in response: "The workings of fate in this world are truly wondrous."

"Most of the time, we don't need to control it; the natural affinity between living beings has its own wonders."
