Chapter 581 - Outside the Land of Imperishable, Taihao 33 Heavens_2
Everyone was utterly shocked, and the witches were even more stunned.
Could it mean that he existed even before the Land of Imperishable was born?
Was it possible that he created everything in the world?
"Master, did you create this Land of Imperishable and all that Taihao stuff?" Su Lingxiu blinked, both excited and curious.
"As your teacher, I do not partake in such amusements." Li Xuan shook his head. "Those who practice Dao simply follow their path, without aspiring to these distractions, which are merely ways to find amusement in this world."
"Master, when can I go to the Taihao Realm? Are there many strong beings there, and what is their level of strength?" Xu Yan asked excitedly.
He had already ventured through the Land of Imperishable, which was quite ordinary, so the Taihao Realm must be even more interesting.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, "To reach the Taihao Realm, you must first transcend the Land of Imperishable, and with your current strength, that's not possible. Even breaking through to the Primordial Realm wouldn't suffice; without practicing Dao, you will always face limitations."
He silently added to himself, "As your teacher, I can't reach Taihao either, only after practicing Dao can one transcend the Land of Imperishable and go to the Taihao Realm."
Of course, Li Xuan wasn't in a hurry, given that the Next Era was about to begin, and practicing Dao would not be too far off.
"Even the Primordial Realm can't transcend the Land of Imperishable and travel to the Taihao Realm?" Xu Yan was beyond shocked. The Primordial Realm was still a distant goal for him, and he could imagine just how incredibly powerful it must be, yet it was still unable to transcend the Land of Imperishable; only practicing Dao could achieve that.
"Master, I will certainly grasp the Method of Practicing Dao soon, understand how to practice the Grand Dao, transcend the Land of Imperishable as soon as possible, and head to the Taihao Realm to meet the chosen ones there!" Xu Yan declared, his blood boiling with fervor.
"You are right, eldest senior brother!" Meng Chong and the other three nodded excitedly.
The others felt excited, yet somewhat deflated, realizing they might not have the chance to transcend the Land of Imperishable and go to the Taihao Realm.
"My disciple, if you practiced Dao, transcended the Land of Imperishable, and went to the Taihao Realm, what 'chosen ones'? You could easily suppress those little fellows in Taihao with just one hand," Li Xuan said with a wry smile.
The Unchanging Divine Master was very powerful, known as the Indestructible Divine Master in the Taihao Realm because of his immense strength. The strong ones there could no longer kill him, and in the end, they could only exile him to this Land of Imperishable.
Now, the Unchanging Divine Master, in terms of strength, was much more powerful than when he was in the Taihao Realm.
If Xu Yan practiced Dao, he would be invincible in the Taihao Realm; he'd be unbeatable there even without practicing Dao, as long as he made a Minor Achievement above the Creation Realm.
Xu Yan was taken aback, "The Taihao Realm is that weak?"
Li Xuan smiled, "The Taihao Realm may lie outside the Land of Imperishable, but it isn't necessarily stronger. This place is considered a forbidden zone to the Taihao Realm, also known as the Land of No Return."
"Well, the Taihao is too distant for you; knowing about it is useless. Focus on your cultivation. With great strength, where can't you go?" Li Xuan did not continue discussing the Taihao Realm.
"So does that mean I will never be able to go to Taihao, unable to leave the Land of Imperishable?" Tian Zi said, feeling somewhat frustrated.
"The Heavenly Dao is boundless; as long as one is powerful enough, one can break through the Chaotic Imperishable and the vast expanse of the Great Wilderness. It is unimaginable. If the Chaotic Imperishable no longer exists, then why can't one leave the Land of Imperishable?"
Li Xuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Tian Zi's blood boiled with excitement, then he felt deflated, "But to break through the Chaotic Imperishable and have the Great Wilderness replace the Land of Imperishable, who knows how many long years that will take?"
The Land of Imperishable is endless, and the growth of the Heavenly Dao might not be able to keep up with the changes of the Land of Imperishable.
"If you wish to go to Taihao, you don't necessarily have to break through the Land of Imperishable. Once the Heavenly Dao has ascended, you can move the Great Wilderness. By following the operational rules of the Land of Imperishable, you can reach the place that connects to Taihao. The spread of the Heavenly Dao Rules will allow you to leave the Land of Imperishable, and then you can follow these Heavenly Dao Rules to leave the Land of Imperishable." Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said.
"Is that really possible?"
Tian Zi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and Old Man Xiao and the others were also thrilled. They were all strong practitioners of the Great Wilderness Dao of Heaven Realm. Once the Heavenly Dao Rules spread beyond the Land of Imperishable, they too could follow the Power of Principles and leave the Land of Imperishable.
"Of course it's possible. Besides, the Heavenly Dao is close to the Great Dao, making it easier to leave the Land of Imperishable without being blocked by the rules of its operation. Of course, the Heavenly Dao also needs to be powerful enough, but for you, this shouldn't be too difficult. It's just a matter of spending a bit more time."
Li Xuan nodded as he spoke.
"It's time to prepare for battle!"
Tian Zi said, his blood boiling with excitement.
Old Man Xiao and the others also departed, each with their blood boiling, ready to face the great battle. The return of Xu Yan meant that the Imperishable Temple's assault was not far off.
Although they knew that they could not contend with the Imperishable Temple with their own strength, with a Taoist Ancestor like Li Xuan present, they could certainly ensure the Great Wilderness remained unharmed. All they needed to do was give it their all and fight their own opponents. Moreover, this was also an opportunity to hone themselves and elevate their Heavenly Dao.
The Witch did not leave but instead respectfully bowed and said, "Witch pays respect to the Taoist Ancestor!"
Li Xuan toyed with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, which was originally a piece of ordinary fine jade gifted by Xu Yan, but it had now transformed into a Dao Instrument while being nurtured by his Dao Intent.
"If you have any doubts, feel free to ask!"
Li Xuan said with a warm smile.
This one of the Seven Great Domain Masters was still very powerful, among the top of the Master of Heaven and Earth level, and his own Qi of Heaven and Earth had not dissipated, meaning he still had significant potential.
"Many thanks to the Taoist Ancestor!"
Witch was overwhelmed with excitement and, after some thought, asked, "I, the Witch, was born with Spiritual Wisdom out of confusion, devouring the flesh and blood of True Spirits to grow stronger. Gradually, I explored the Cultivation Methods, able to continuously strengthen myself by absorbing the essence of True Spirit's flesh and blood and Origin.
"Before the opening of the Domain, I was already at the Master of Heaven and Earth level. When that purple light appeared, I received the Creation of the purple light and transformed myself, but it seemed as if my strength was starting from scratch in a brief time. The power cultivated was different from before the opening of the Domain.
"Undoubtedly it was stronger and seemed like it could continue to elevate indefinitely. Alas, the path of cultivation requires constant exploration, consuming time. Only before the great war did I have a clear understanding of the path ahead. Yet, after defeat in the great battle, I must start exploring from scratch again.
"My Domain is ultimately lost. Taicang previously gave me much guidance on my Path of Cultivation, as well as the method to open a Domain. In the great battle, Taicang's strength was far beyond what I could compare. I feel that Taicang might have already surpassed the Master of Heaven and Earth level at that time.
"Of course, Taicang said he did not break through above the Master of Heaven and Earth. Over the years, I pondered Taicang's strength back then, speculating that Taicang's Realm as Master of Heaven and Earth was different from ours. Just as the Domain Dao Rules of Taicang Domain differed significantly from our Domains.
"It's like Taicang Domain was a fully constructed and solid Domain, whereas our Domains had only the framework. May I ask, Senior, is there a qualitative difference between Domains, even among those at the Master of Heaven and Earth level?"
Hearing Witch's doubts, Li Xuan wasn't surprised. As his strength increased, especially after breaking through the Primordial Realm, he realized that though Taihao was a powerful Master of Heaven and Earth Realm, his Realm was different from other Masters of Heaven and Earth.
Taihao's Realm as a Master of Heaven and Earth was unique. Just by looking at the operation of the Heaven and Earth Laws and the Domain Dao Rules of Taihao Domain, one could see that Taihao's Domain was more perfected, with stronger Creation for all living beings. Although weaker than the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path, it was only second to the Heavenly Dao of Domain.
"Xu Yan has achieved Perfection in the Establishing Dao Realm and has the power to sweep through the Master of Heaven and Earth Realm, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is more powerful than Taihao was back then. Moreover, Taihao did eventually break through the Master of Heaven and Earth Realm, yet for some reasons, he was destined not to win.
"How does this Great Wilderness compare with Taihao? It is based on the Taihao Domain. And how does it compare with your Domain before?
"Different Domains possess different characteristics, and the paths of cultivation you and Taihao follow differ, which is inevitable. Even practitioners who follow the Dao travel different paths within the Great Dao."
Li Xuan said with a smile.
