Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 797: Chapter 500: Return_2

But some things, whether there’s evidence or not, you have to assume the worst.

After all, better safe than sorry!

Therefore, whether it is or it isn’t, Xu Yang had to treat it as if it were, with the greatest malice, making the riskiest considerations.

If this Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is truly a plot by the Desire Realm Demons, what is the current situation of those Immortal Emperors and Gods who split this object into pieces and shared it among themselves?

Could they have already been tainted, fallen into Demon Path, or are they struggling amidst pain?

...

The worst-case scenario is just that!

Each major divine system and all Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals could possibly fall into the Demon Path, becoming accomplices in the downfall of this world.

This situation, this risk, is not only Xu Yang’s to bear, but also Fairy Jun’s.

After all, she is the Master of the Alliance Heavenly Tao.

The Covenant Heaven’s Dao Skills bind her deeply with this world, intertwining her fate and obligations, inextricable unless she dies.

If this world falls, becomes a Demon Land, other True Immortals from Cavern Heavens might break the realm and flee to myriad heavens and worlds, but she absolutely cannot. Otherwise, she would completely dissipate, body and Dao, under the backlash of the Great Oath of the Alliance Heavenly.

Therefore, she has no choice but to face it together with Xu Yang.

We’re all in the same boat; naturally, we can’t let it sink. Mutual assistance is a matter of course.

Thus, she gave the Alliance Heavenly Tao Art to Xu Yang, and he in return gifted her with his unpublished first volume of the Taoist Scriptures and the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Mechanics Methods.

But just a single Alliance Heavenly Tao Art cannot solve the problem.

If his suspicions are correct, then what follows will only become more grim.

This world, though plagued by Demon Catastrophes, has mostly contended with human opponents for so long.

Such struggles should have been drawing to a close after Ren Baimei and Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect’s defeat.

Under the threat of the Desire Realm Demons, all major Cavern Heavens and all Immortal Gods, as long as they have a bit of sense and understanding of the larger picture, wouldn’t risk offending the heavens and perishing, both body and Dao, to continue making things difficult for Wandao School.

Then, by easing some restrictions, making the situation less embarrassing for the major Cavern Heavens, stability can be maintained. Working together to face the Demon Catastrophe collectively, any disputes over interests, any grudges or feuds, can be settled afterwards,

This is the ideal situation!

But now, the situation is less than ideal.

If the leaders of the major divine systems, those Immortal Emperors and Gods, have all fallen into the traps set by the Desire Realm, unable to extricate themselves from the Demon Path, can their subordinates remain unaffected and consider the bigger picture?

Take the Brahman Sect, for instance. If Xu Yang were now to go there and tell those divine spirits of the Brahman Sect that their three Supreme Lords have been defiled by the Demon Path and that for the larger good, they should side with the Wandao School, attack the Great Freedom Heaven, and eliminate the Three Aspects Demon God…

Would the Brahman divine spirits believe such words?

Of course not!

Aside from the fact that Xu Yang has no solid evidence, making his claims hard to believe, even with concrete evidence before their eyes, it would be difficult to sway them.

Therefore, going forward, Wandao School is likely to face many obstacles, and after the major Immortal Realms have entered the world, they must confront Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals who might have turned demonic, as well as the possibility of an imminent Desire Realm assault.

This situation is far from good.

With his current strength and the scale of the Wandao School, True Immortals could barely be suppressed, and with the advantage of time, location, and cooperation, there is hope of a struggle even against Earth Immortals.

But as for Heavenly Immortals, being of a higher echelon and the possibly existing Desire Realm Demon Ancestors and Heretical Path Golden Immortals…

Even Xu Yang has no confidence.

He has mostly exhausted his potential and all his tricks.

To cope, there is but one way, no other path!

Increase strength, bolster oneself!

After studying the Alliance Heavenly Tao Art, Xu Yang focused his mind and began to envision something.

Something, flickering with purple light, intricate patterns barely visible, revealing the mechanics of Dao, indeed quite dreamlike and illusory.

Seeming real yet not, seeming fake yet not,

Seeming like a talisman but not, seeming like a tablet but not.

With alchemical patterns, array logics, artifact shapes, and talismans.

Alternating between shadow and light, obscured and clear, yin and yang chasing like fish tails, life and death revolving in reincarnation.

So mysteriously profound, it is…

The Imperial Heavenly Scrolls, the Tusita Divine Edict!

The Taiqing Taoist Skill, the very orthodox of Mysterious Gate!

Three months earlier, following the battle at E’Mei, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect sent a disciple who exchanged this Imperial Mansion Heavenly Decree Book along with the foundational Cultivation Technique, Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, for the Demon-Slaying and Immortal-Refining Sword and the Sixth-Rank Heavenly Mechanics Methods.

This was an unexpected joy!

For the Tusita Divine Edict and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, Xu Yang had long been covetous.

These are the orthodox teachings from this world, a direct transmission of the Taiqing Lineage, whose value goes without saying.

Xu Yang, also a cultivator of the Mysterious Gate, practices Taoism originating from the Three Realms: the realm of Taoism, the current world, and the Earth Immortal Realm.

Among these Three Realms, the highest Cultivation Techniques are the Ancient Legacies of the Earth Immortal Realm, which can be traced back to the Ancient Immortals and even the Taiqing Taoist.

But times change, and the transmissions are not complete, with many of these Cultivation Techniques fragmented. Plus, with various other reasons, the Taoism of the Earth Immortal Realm is far from being as intact as this “Blue Star” world.@@novelbin@@

Ignoring the Ancient Immortals, the cultivators of the Earth Immortal Realm, at their peak, barely reach the level of True Immortals, while this Blue Star world has Earth Immortals and True Immortals with complete legacies and profound potentiality, there is an inherent gap.

It’s only him; anyone else arriving in this world would not only fail to suppress the major Cavern Heavens, but it would be an achievement not to be hung up and beaten by the major divine systems.

After much hard work, now is the time to harvest. Not only has he acquired the Alliance Heavenly Tao Art, but also the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture and the Tusita Divine Edict, precisely to fill in the gaps of the fragmented Taoism from the Earth Immortal Realm, helping him to advance further.
