Chapter 522
As soon as he set foot on the venue of the Dao Conference, Su Xiu’s eyes lit up.
Because the density of the Dao Essence of the Dao Laws in this venue was actually more than twenty times higher than in the lower realms!
At the same time, just as Su Xiu had seen from afar,
there were actually thousands of cultivators in this venue with a circumference of ten thousand zhang!
“Tsk tsk… The lowest are also cultivators at the peak of Taiyi Jinnian…”
“In this small Daoist temple, there are really Da Lu everywhere, and Taiyi is no better than a dog!“
Su Xing sighed lightly. There were actually hundreds of Da Luo immortals in this ten thousand zhang area!
It is hard to imagine, if all these cultivators live to the future, what are the aliens afraid of?
”Su friend, you point to that statue…”
Qingfeng Da Luo on the side pointed to a statue about a zhang high in the middle of the Daoist temple.
And around the statue, there were ten zabutons.
Nine of the cushions had already been occupied.
Now, only the last one was empty.
And the people sitting on those nine cushions…
Su Xing widened his eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
“It’s…nine saints!”
“The legend of the ten saints from ancient times really is true!”
At the moment, the nine saints, each in the form of an ordinary person, were sitting on the cushions, meditating in earnest.
Within a radius of 100 zhang (33.33 m) of the statues, there were only the nine saints.
But 100 zhang away, it was lively.
Xu Xi woke up and could tell at a glance that there seemed to be two forces vying against each other, as if they were trying to grab the last place on the mat.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there must be something mysterious about this last mat, and it definitely had something to do with becoming a saint!
And at the moment, there were two forces vying against each other at the venue of the Daoism Conference.
They are the “Imperial Court”, which is made up of the Demon Race, the Dragon and Phoenix Races, and other different races!
They have hundreds of Great Luo Jin Xian, and are led by several Half Saints, so their strength can be considered the leader of the cultivation world in this era.
On the other side, there is the Demon Race, which is commanded by the Twelve Ancestral Wushu, as well as some mid-level races, including the Human Race.
Although the alliance of the Demon Race and the Dragon and Phoenix Races is more powerful, the Demon Race is not a pushover.
Among the Twelve Ancestral Wushu, six of them have already become Half Saints.
The remaining six have also reached the pinnacle of the Great Luo Jin Xian, and are invincible below the level of half-saint.
In addition, there are dozens of powerful Wushi who are not weaker than the Great Luo Jin Xian, as well as Great Luo Jin Xian from other races.
In total, there are no fewer than 100, which is not much weaker than the alliance of the Demon Race and the Dragon and Phoenix Race.
“Su Youdao… You can see that these two powers are competing against each other for the last seat of the saint!”
“Unlike us from the Innate Sect, we are detached from the world…and don’t need the help of this futon!“
Zhenhuo Daluo said with a smile, looking down on everyone else.
Su Xing woke up and asked,
”Then why doesn’t our Innate Sect participate in the fight for the chance to become immortal?”
Qingfeng Taoist on the side explained with a smile,
“Su Youdao, are you afraid you’ve gone senile?“
”We innate creatures were born with the world, blessed with great fortune…The path we originally took was already clear…“
”Even without the aid of that primordial purple air, with time to hone our skills, we can become saints!“
”Don’t forget, our Ancestor…was a Daoist predecessor!”
As he spoke, Qingfeng Daruo looked at the statue in the middle of the conference venue, his face showing admiration.
“In another month, it will be time for the Ancestor to manifest his holy spirit… At that time, his divine consciousness will be attached to this statue and preach the Way to all the cultivators in the world!“
”All the cultivators on the entire Zhou Mountain can gain something from the Ancestor’s voice of the Way.“
”Of course, the location on top of the mountain is the best, with the most abundant enlightenment of the Way… Among them, the location on top of those ten futons is the best!“
”After all, with the Ancestor’s blessing of the primordial purple air… the speed of comprehending the Way will be many times faster!”
“And…”
The two primordial beings beside him went on and on, describing it to Sui Xue.
In this era, primordial beings are rare, numbering only in the dozens.
They can therefore only be considered a small clan, but each is incredibly powerful.
Primordial beings, born with their innate talents, have a natural sense of superiority and detachment, and disdain to compete with ordinary cultivators.
In particular, the innate creatures are extremely united within their clan, and they are willing to help each other out.
“Su Youdao…look at the nine saints on the mat!”
“Five of them are from my innate clan!”
“The remaining four seats are occupied by two of the Wuzu, the two Wuzu saints who call themselves Houtu and Kuafu…”
“The other two saints are from the Longfeng clan, the dragon and phoenix clans…”
“Precisely because of this, these two factions will compete for the last seat of the Sage…“
”Although the Ancestor once said that after becoming a Sage, one cannot intervene in the situation of the Pangu world… But that’s the seat of a Sage! Even if one does nothing, having an extra Sage is enough to intimidate others and suppress the situation!”
After listening to Qingfeng Daluo’s words, Su Xing nodded in deep understanding.
He finally understood why there was so much fighting between the two major forces.
“But I think the head of the Tianji Pavilion must have joined a faction… Otherwise, how could he have achieved enlightenment and become a saint thousands of years later?“
”And that Blood River Ancestor… Maybe he’s in on it too…”
Su Xing thought to himself, and began to survey the cultivators within a radius of ten thousand zhang.
Soon, Su Xing saw a familiar figure.
It was clearly… Tianji Girl!
Su Xing’s heart trembled, and he muttered,
“Finally I’ve seen it? The Tianji Sect Master!“
When Su Xing woke up and saw Tianji Girl, Tianji Girl in the distance obviously also noticed Su Xing.
”Su Youdao, do you know that Tianji Youdao?“ Qingfeng Daluo on the side asked curiously.
Su Xing’s heart trembled, and he subconsciously shook his head and said,
”I don’t know, it’s just that the woman seems to be extremely extraordinary?“
Qingfeng Daluo nodded after hearing this and said,
”That’s natural, this Tianji Girl has been a figure of the times for nearly 100,000 years!”
“She comes from a minor clan called the Human Clan, but her strength is already that of a half-saint.“
”Tens of thousands of years ago, she even formed an alliance with the Demon Clan, and is a strong contender for the seat of sage!”
Su Xing’s heart stirred upon hearing this, so that was it.
Presumably, it was because of the alliance with the Demon Clan that the girl Tianji was able to obtain that quota for becoming a sage in the end.
Therefore, in this competition, will the Demon Clan be the one to triumph in the end?
Su Xing pondered.
Qingfeng Daruo, who was standing nearby, continued:
“There is also the rookie from the Demon Court, who has also been a figure of note for the past 100,000 years and is known as the peerless pair with Tianji…”
“This Tianjiao calls himself the Blood River Taoist, and I heard that his true form is a true dragon, and his cultivation has reached the level of a semi-sage. This time, he will represent the Demon Court to compete for the last place on the futon.”
Su Xing’s eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and soon he saw the so-called Blood River Taoist.
“This person should be the Blood River Ancestor… But is this aura a bit too young?”
Su Xing frowned slightly.
The Blood River Ancestor should have been a figure from the end of ancient times, and by the time of Su Xing’s era, he should have been over 100 million years old.
At this age, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal should have the aura of a sunset years.
But the young man in front of him had star-shaped eyebrows and sharp eyes, and a handsome appearance. Apart from the aura of gloom in his eyebrows, he looked like a young genius of the younger generation.
Soon, a bold guess appeared in Su Xing’s mind.
“Is it… possession?”
It should be possession more or less.
Because even if it is a great immortal, they can remain young forever.
But if they live too long, the aura of old age on their body is inevitable.
Only by possessing another body and using some secret methods to “live again” can this effect be achieved.
“Gee, it seems that the Blood River Ancestor possessed the body of a young dragon and then, within a few hundred thousand years, he managed to cultivate himself to the realm of a semi-sage…“
”If the true dragons discovered this phenomenon, I wonder what would happen?”
Su Xing’s mouth curled up, revealing a rather playful expression.
It must be noted that the true dragons place the utmost importance on their bloodline, and if they discovered that it had been possessed,
with the current power of the dragons, even a semi-sage would have a 99% chance of dying!
“As long as this news is exposed, it is only a matter of time before the head of the Tianji Sect becomes a Saint!“
Su Xing looked at the Tianji girl in the distance.
If he knew about this, naturally the Tianji girl should have also figured it out.
”It seems that they are preparing to expose this as a killer move at the last minute…”
Su Xing thought to himself.
So Su Xing curiously asked Qingfeng Daruo to the side:
“Friend Qingfeng, these two forces are competing for the last chance to become a saint, but I don’t know…how will they compete?”
There is only one cushion containing the primordial purple air, and there is only one chance to become a saint.
So, how will this competition be carried out?
Su Xing was a little curious…
Will it be a martial arts competition or an intellectual competition?
Or will it be a competition of talent, resources, etc., which all matter.
Qingfeng Daruo, who was standing nearby, laughed heartily upon hearing this:
“Su Youdao, you really have been in seclusion for too long and don’t know much about the world!“
”This Hongmeng Ziqi has its own blessings and wisdom, and it cannot be persuaded by force…“
”Often, Hongmeng Ziqi seeks its master!“
”I heard that the recognition of the master by Hongmeng Ziqi seems to be related to aptitude, or the hope of becoming a sage?“
”Therefore, each side will put forward the one with the most hope of becoming a sage… If someone gets the recognition of this Ziqi, naturally they can sit on this cushion!”
“Otherwise, even if you forcefully sit on the cushion, you will be like sitting on a needle’s eye, and you won’t get any benefits…“
After hearing this, Su Xing’s heart stirred. This Hongmeng Ziqi actually has such an effect?
The final proof of the Dao and becoming a saint is actually more than just good fortune and opportunity?
”Tut tut…yes, to be able to cultivate to the realm of a sage, even if one’s talent is unparalleled in the world, the more important thing is the saying of good fortune and luck…”
After figuring out the rules of the Dao Conference, Su Xing waited quietly for the conference to begin a month later.
During this time, Su Xing did not waste any time, but instead met many “Dao friends” in the conference hall.
Of course, Su Xing’s main goal was to strike up a conversation with the owner of the Tianji Pavilion.
Before the Dao Conference began, these thousands of top-level powerful people would also exchange their Daoist cultivation experiences with each other, as well as exchange and sell treasures.
You have to understand that these are all treasures from the ancient times!
Su Xing was jealous!
Even with Su Xing’s wealth, he could only be considered “rich” in this dojo.
There were wealthy Da Luo Jinnian selling immortal fluids, and the amount gathered was almost comparable to a river!
It must be noted that this is immortal fluid as wide as a river!
If it were in later generations, the immortal fluids of the entire world combined would not add up to this much…
There were even cultivators selling precious ores that could even be used as materials to forge the best innate treasures!
The “Zan Xian Hu Lu” (Gourd that Slashes Immortals), a natural treasure born from heaven and earth, can even cut a golden immortal if used by a golden immortal!
Or the immortal grass that has been growing for billions of years, if a mortal takes a plant, they can be promoted to a heavenly immortal right there on the spot, and there are no side effects!
There are so many treasures like these!
Su Xing was jealous, but with his wealth, he gritted his teeth and exchanged for a few treasures.
Su Xing exchanged for a piece of innate sword jade, which can help the Mo Bing sword to be promoted to the level of the ultimate innate treasure.
A piece of 900 million year-old immortal grass is the main ingredient for refining the nine-turn golden pill!
He also exchanged for some immortal liquid, which will be needed for his cultivation in the future.
However, after a month of exchanges, something strange happened to Su Xing.
“The owner of the Tianji Pavilion… seems to have lost his memory? Or maybe he doesn’t know who he is!”
Su Xing frowned, looking at the distant Tianji girl.
And the girl Tianji also returned a kind gaze…
Over the past month, Su Xing has tried several times to test the girl Tianji, but it seems that she has no idea about the so-called “future”.
Nor does she know about the so-called Tianji Pavilion or the tribulation of the alien race…
And this has happened not only to the girl Tianji!
Even the Blood River Ancestor is the same!
The Blood River Ancestor also seems to have forgotten his original identity…
Even between these two “ Peerless Shuangjiao”, they are not familiar with each other…
“Strange… so strange!“
”What on earth is going on that even a powerful being at the level of a semi-sage has lost their memory and forgotten things outside of this time and space!“
”But why is it that I have not forgotten things outside?”
After ruminating for a long time, Awakening could only come up with one explanation.
That is, the mysterious influence of the Ninth Heaven, or this time and space!
It causes outsiders who have mistakenly entered this time and space to forget their original identities!
forgetting the outside world! They truly became “natives” of this time and space!
Even half-saints are no exception!
And combined with what happened 3,000 years later,
Suxin suspected that perhaps one could only remember the outside world after becoming a sage.
After all, thousands of years later, the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had re-descended to the mortal realm after becoming a sage, and had obviously discovered his original identity.
“But…why can I still remember things from the outside world?”
“Is it because of the Dao of Time? Or the effect of the simulator?”
Su Xiu shook his head slightly, as he didn’t know the answer either.
However, only Su Xiu knows the truth about this time and space now, and that is definitely a good thing!
…
As Su Xiu was pondering, a faint light emanated from the statue in the center of the dojo.
At the same time, all the Daluo, Bansheng, and even the saints in the dojo fell silent…
“The Dao is here!”
Su Xiu took a deep breath and clearly felt a trace of divinity on the statue.
It was the presence of the supreme being, the self-proclaimed “Tao”, that had manifested.
Su Xing held his breath and concentrated, trying to see what this so-called Tao was really like.
From the top of the statue came a booming voice, like the sound of a bell or thunder, covering the entire Zhou Mountain.
“I am the Tao, born before the heavens and earth, after the world, wanting to create the sacred Taoist way. Those who attain the Tao can prove that the Tao has become holy…”
“All living things in the world, those with spiritual intelligence, can come and listen, if they have some enlightenment… It is the fortune of the Dao!“
”I will give lectures on the Dao for a thousand years, and this is the last time…“
”The so-called Dao gives birth to one, and one gives birth to two…”
As the being who called itself the Dao began to spread the teachings, the sound of the Dao was like magic.
The nine sages closest to it quickly became intoxicated and began to contemplate the Dao.
At this moment, the demeanors of the cultivators from all walks of life on the Daoist altar were different.
Those with excellent aptitude had already gradually improved and began to gradually understand the sound of the preaching.
There were also those with mediocre aptitude, scratching their heads and racking their brains, but they could not figure it out after much thought, unable to fall into enlightenment…
Surging woke up to his current position. He was in the middle of the dojo, neither too far forward nor too far back.
This matched his current strength and status.
In front of him, the two Great Luo Jin Immortals, Qingfeng and Zhenhuo, had already fallen into the realization of the Dao, as if they were in a trance.
“Gee, innate creatures, unhindered on their own paths…what a unique advantage!”
Surging sighed inwardly.
Su Xing then tried to digest the words passed down by the Daoist.
The content was not profound.
It was just what the Daoist had seen and heard since its birth, and its feelings about the Dao after traveling the entire world…
If this were said by an ordinary cultivator, it would be of little use…
But when it came from the mouth of the Dao, it added three parts of Dao.
Su Xing first tried to feel the grand sound of this great Dao, and then frowned slightly.
“Strange, there is clearly the Dao and the natural order contained within, but why can’t I perceive it…“
Su Xing’s face looked a little unpleasant, looking at the mediocre people around him scratching their heads.
He suddenly felt speechless, and his face looked strange as he said:
”Is my aptitude and perception really this poor?”
Su Xing remained silent. With his perception, in later generations he could only be considered mediocre.
Without various resources and a talent boost, he fears that he will never be able to comprehend the Seventh State of the Dao even until death.
The aptitude of later-era cultivators is probably not as good as that of cultivators in this era.
It’s not that later-era cultivators are inferior to ancient cultivators.
After all, later-era cultivators have countless years of heritage, powerful magical techniques, and refined cultivation methods, which greatly compensate for this.
It’s just that in this era, the world and sky were born not long ago, and it belongs to the era of the cultivation world’s barbaric growth.
It can be said that the world is full of talented people, and the creatures born are a collection of the essence of the world and sky.
These creatures can cultivate to the level of a great immortal, and their aptitude can be imagined.
Even among the humans of this era, there are not a few super spiritual root and heavenly spiritual root cultivators.
After all, the world and sky were born not long ago, and the luckiest people have the most prosperous qi, so the world and sky are willing to make everyone in the world like a dragon.
In later generations, after the world and sky have been born for many years, they will no longer be like this era, where everyone is like a dragon…
“Gee, it seems that my enlightenment in this era is not even as good as an average person!”
“But it’s okay… I’ve got a cheat!“
With that, Su Xing took out a pill of enlightenment and swallowed it.
