135: The Fifteen Holy Lands Unite, the Immortal War Begins

"Book of Myriad Daos? Recording all Daos, eternally suppressing the Three Thousand Dao Provinces?!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elders of the Taiyi Holy Land collectively gasped, their hearts trembling, and their eyes filled with disbelief.

What a bold boast!

If anyone else had said this, they would certainly feel it was mere empty talk and extreme arrogance.

But it happened to be Xu Jinhuan.

When Xu Jinhuan said those words, they felt it was absurd, yet they inexplicably felt that it was most likely true!

Since his emergence, this young man had created miracles all the way, possessing a Heaven-Defying strength and talent that could turn decay into magic and the impossible into reality. With him making such a grand claim, no one dared to easily doubt it.

The Taiyi Old Ancestor, unable to suppress his urgency, reached out and took that Mutton-fat White Jade Book, sending a strand of Divine Thought into it.

As soon as the jade book touched his hand, the Old Ancestor's gaze grew solemn. Beneath the warm touch of his fingertips, a vast and boundless Dao charm flowed.

This jade book itself was a supreme treasure, comparable to a quasi-emperor weapon!

One must know that Xu Jinhuan's current Realm was only the God King Realm, yet he could actually refine such a treasure.

Incredible! Unimaginable!

Looking across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces for millions of years, there has been no one like him before or after; he is truly Heaven-Defying!

Before even reading the scriptures within, the Taiyi Old Ancestor was already beyond excited, and the Dao aura around him was slightly disturbed.

How could a Cultivation Technique carried on such a supreme treasure be ordinary?

With extreme shock and reverence, he focused his mind on reading the scriptures within the jade book.

In an instant, this strongest Old Ancestor of Taiyi, whose Realm had long surpassed the Great Saint Realm, actually fell directly into a state of Epiphany!

Boundless Dao laws bloomed around him, Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth gathered frantically toward him, Dao sounds echoed, and ten thousand rays of light radiated, as if he would break through his Realm in the next moment and step into a completely new Domain that no one had ever reached.

It took a full hour before the Old Ancestor slowly regained his senses. The divine light around him retracted, and he returned to normal, but the shock in his eyes had not yet dissipated.

He gripped the jade book tightly and sighed from the bottom of his heart, his tone full of amazement.

"What a terrifying Dao Law!"

The moment his voice fell, an unspeakable and terrifying fluctuation spread out from him.

This fluctuation was even greater than a quasi-emperor's pressure, yet it lacked the overbearing nature of an emperors might that suppressed the world; instead, it contained a roundness and vastness where ten thousand Daos merged.

"Old Ancestor, this Cultivation Technique..."

The Holy Lord spoke cautiously, his heart a mix of anticipation and apprehension, desperate to know the true situation of this Cultivation Technique.

"What Jinhuan said is true. This is a truly supreme great law, sufficient to eternally suppress the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, allowing our Taiyi Holy Land to reach the summit and become the absolute overlord of this world!"

The Taiyi Old Ancestor nodded slowly, giving a supreme evaluation that shook the entire scene.

He even added in his heart: "Even in more Advanced worlds, such a Cultivation Technique is as rare as a phoenix feather. As expected of the Disciple chosen by Your Highness Qingyue; this talent is unique throughout the ages!"

"That's wonderful!"

The Holy Lord was ecstatic, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.

If this Cultivation Technique was truly as miraculous and terrifying as the Old Ancestor said, then the rise of the Taiyi Holy Land was a foregone conclusion. As the current Holy Lord, he would surely leave a significant mark on the Holy Land's ten-thousand-year history.

And this was his lifelong pursuit!

The path of cultivation is long; some seek longevity, while others seek fame.

Between immortality and historical fame, the Taiyi Holy Lord leaned toward the latter.

The jade book began to circulate among the Grand Elders. After the dozen or so Old Ancestors read it, they all resolutely decided to abandon their old methods and specialize in this Book of Myriad Daos.

Whenever they encountered difficulties during their cultivation, they would ask Xu Jinhuan on the spot. For a time, various questions emerged one after another.

Their Comprehension Ability and talent were, after all, worlds apart compared to Xu Jinhuan's.

Even though Xu Jinhuan had already written the Book of Myriad Daos to be as simple and easy to understand as possible, with every word being a gem and every sentence clear, this group of old monsters who had lived for ages still encountered many difficult puzzles.

Listening to those diverse and even somewhat ridiculous questions, Xu Jinhuan was speechless.

This feeling was like a group of adults holding a primary school addition and subtraction book, asking him why one plus one equals two instead of three... it felt like he was a volunteer teacher on Douyin... at this moment, he finally understood an old man from his previous life.

"No wonder Elder Qian would say, no matter how stupid a person is, can they still not learn Calculus?"

Complaining aside, Xu Jinhuan remained patient, answering the doubts of the Old Ancestors one by one. He even organized all the questions and answers into a detailed commentary.

With this commentary, other Cultivators of the Holy Land could look it up themselves if they encountered problems while cultivating the Book of Myriad Daos in the future, saving them from countless detours.

Three days later, all the Grand Elders entered deep cultivation. The Taiyi Holy Lord, due to the complicated affairs of the Holy Land, could not step away for the time being, but he also treated the Book of Myriad Daos and its commentary as treasures, studying them constantly.

Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan also left contentedly and returned to his Eastern Emperor Mountain.

Inside his residence, it was empty. Li Qingyue was not there; she had likely left the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

Regarding this Revered Master's background, Xu Jinhuan now had some guesses. She likely possessed the means to leave the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, and her Realm might very well have surpassed the quasi-emperor level!

But she must have intentionally sealed her cultivation above the quasi-emperor level; otherwise, she wouldn't have been defeated so thoroughly by his rod education, leaving things all over the place.

"Revered Master isn't here, so I'll teach the Cultivation Technique to the others."

Regarding the Book of Myriad Daos, Xu Jinhuan didn't intend to hide it from his followers.

After all, many of the precious insights in the Book of Myriad Daos were obtained through Sign-ins from them.

"Everyone, come over for a moment. I have a big treasure for you to see..."

...Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Forbidden Ground of the Taiyi Holy Land's back mountain, a dozen overbearing auras suddenly erupted, shooting into the clouds and making the entire Holy Land tremble slightly!

Boom!

Earth-shattering laughter came from the Forbidden Ground, full of excitement and joy.

"Hahaha! This old Daoist has succeeded! Such a wonderful method is hard to find in a million years!"

"What an exquisite method, what a Heaven-Defying Dao charm! Sequence Xu is truly the most comprehensive Prodigy in the history of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!"

"With this Book of Myriad Daos, our Taiyi Holy Land might even give birth to more than one Great Emperor within a single era!"

Knowledge gained from paper is always shallow; one must practice it to truly understand.

Only after truly cultivating the Book of Myriad Daos did these Grand Elders and Old Ancestors truly realize the terror of this Cultivation Technique.

Their gratitude toward Xu Jinhuan also grew more intense.

They even felt a bit embarrassed.

Because this Cultivation Technique was simply too terrifying and precious!

Following the methods of the Book of Myriad Daos step by step, even a Mortal with mediocre talent could steadily Cultivate to the God Realm.

For Grand Elders like them, who were already exceptionally talented and top figures of an era, the quasi-Emperor Realm was practically guaranteed.

More importantly, the Book of Myriad Daos opened a new door for them, paving a path to the heavens for an alternative way to become an Emperor and achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm!

In the current era, the Heavens Heart Imprint is unique, and only those who obtain its recognition can prove their Dao and become an Emperor; the path of the Dao is extremely narrow.

But it wasn't like this in ancient times. In that era, the Heavens Heart Imprint did not appear; Great Emperor was just a Realm, and everyone could become an Emperor, though it was difficult.

Now, Xu Jinhuan had melted the ten thousand Daos of ancient and modern times into one furnace, reopening that long-sealed Emperor's road with the Book of Myriad Daos!

How could these Grand Elders, who thought they would eventually die of old age in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and never reach a higher Realm, not be excited? How could they not be ecstatic?

"Sequence Xu has such heavenly talent and has been as kind as a mountain to us. This old man really doesn't know how to repay him..."

Some Old Ancestors could not control themselves and wept with gratitude.

"Sequence Xu is already an existence we cannot fathom. Since he hasn't mentioned repayment, we shall guard the Taiyi Holy Land well and protect his Foundation; that is the only thing we can do for him."

"Indeed, Sequence Xu's battlefield has long ceased to be this world of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, and it's not something we can participate in. We old fogies don't even have the qualification to protect him anymore..."

The Old Ancestors sighed with emotion... On Eastern Emperor Mountain, clouds lingered, and spiritual charm permeated the air.

A group of women sat in a circle on green stones; some were as elegant as lotuses, some as beautiful as sunset clouds, some as agile as streams, and some as cold and glamorous as frost.

They were all stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm.

With their beautiful eyes closed, they were focused on quiet cultivation, forming a beautiful scenery that refreshed the mind.

In the center of the beauties, Xu Jinhuan sat cross-legged, speaking with authority and eloquence.

The Three Thousand Great Daos were at his fingertips, and supreme principles were explained clearly. Every word and sentence turned into strands of Dao sounds, merging into the Divine Souls of the women.

Striking deep into their Divine Souls, it triggered a resonance in their Dao Foundations.

Another half-month passed before Xu Jinhuan finally stopped his narration and let out a long breath. A faint Dao light suddenly bloomed around him, crystalline and holy, like an Incarnation of the Dao, with Dao charm flowing, making people look at him with awe.

Around him, Liu Changxi, Fang Qingyao, Ao Linger, and the other women had all fallen into the deepest level of Epiphany.

Dao laws manifested around them, some condensing into golden lotuses, some winding into dragon patterns, some gathering into stars. Five-colored light steamed, and their auras rose steadily at a visible rate.

A terrifying transformation at the level of life was quietly occurring within these beauties.

Especially the four women: Fang Qingyao, Ao Linger, Yin Xinsu, and Jiang Luoyi.

Because they had engaged in deep and thorough exchanges with Xu Jinhuan, knowing each other's roots, mysterious changes had occurred in their bodies, making their transformations even more intense and terrifying.

Whoosh—

Xu Jinhuan had just exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and was about to give a few instructions when the aura on his body suddenly changed drastically!

His aura plummeted, and killing intent surged around him.

He looked up at the high sky as if facing a great enemy!

"You're looking for death!"

...At the same time, above the Nine Heavens of the Taiyi Holy Land, a sudden change occurred!

Densely packed ancient runes and killing Formations appeared out of thin air, blotting out the sun and completely covering the entire sky, leaving not a single shadow of light.

As the runes flickered, a torrential killing intent swept through, causing the Spiritual Qi of the entire Holy Land to stagnate, making it difficult for the Disciples to breathe.

Killing intent was rampant!

Countless bronze war chariots and purple-gold warships stood across the sky, their hulls carved with dragons and phoenixes, emitting an immortal pressure.

Innumerable experts flew in the air, some clad in armor and holding weapons, others with Daoist robes fluttering. All had powerful auras and looked down coldly at the Taiyi Holy Land below, their Evil Qi piercing the sky.

In front of the chariots, warships, and army Formations, there were flags that reached the heavens, with symbols of one Immortal Dao Lineage after another written on them.

"Xuanzhen Holy Land, Xuanyang Holy Land, Blood God Palace, Ethereal Divine Palace..."

A total of fifteen Immortal Dao Lineages!

In an instant, the allied forces surrounded the Taiyi Holy Land so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out, an inescapable net leaving no room.

Many Taiyi Disciples who happened to be out were suppressed on the spot, unable even to call for help.

Usually, when an army surrounds an enemy, they leave one side open to give them a chance to flee, but this group of people didn't leave even a single crack.

This kind of Formation was clearly intended to wipe out the Taiyi Holy Land, leaving neither chicken nor dog alive!

Once the lineup was complete, a figure flew out from the allied army Formation; he was a Peak Great Sage expert.

He suspended himself in mid-air and spoke with a voice like a great bell, shouting loudly.

His tone was full of self-righteousness, and every word reached every corner of the Holy Land:

"The Taiyi Holy Land has acted perversely, allowing its Disciples to commit widespread atrocities and slaughter all races, causing public outrage and being despised by the world! They have harmed loyal Prodigies and murdered the pillars of all races; their crimes are unforgivable!"

"Today, we, the eight great Holy Lands and seven great Longevity Familys, have come together in accordance with the Heavenly Dao to cut down the treacherous and eliminate the evil, launching an Immortal War against the Taiyi Holy Land!"

"The Immortal War is a fight to the death, until the last person of the Taiyi Holy Land is exterminated!!!"

"Kill!"

As the word fell, the Peak Great Sage waved his hand fiercely, and several Taiyi Disciples who had been captured earlier were pushed to the front of the Formation.

A startling saintly might suddenly descended, like Mount Tai pressing down, crushing without warning.

Buzz!

In an instant, the Disciples were directly crushed into powder, their Physical Bodies destroyed, dying on the spot!

It happened so fast, so unexpectedly, that even the group of Grand Elders rushing up from below could not react in time!

"You're looking for death!"

Instantly, dozens of somewhat hunched figures rose from the ground, breaking through the air and coming in a rage.

All the Grand Elders and Foundations of the Taiyi Holy Land appeared at this moment!

The pressure of dozens of Peak Great Sages spread violently, and killing intent surged in their eyes, as if to burn the heavens!

"Everyone, my Taiyi Holy Land has no grievances with you. You actually slaughtered our Holy Land Disciples on the spot and even launched an Immortal War. Have you grown tired of living?!"

An old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion spoke through gritted teeth; he was one of the Grand Elders who had obtained the Book of Myriad Daos.

After switching to the Book of Myriad Daos, his strength had greatly increased, and he now spoke with full confidence.

Even with more than a dozen Immortal Dao Lineages united against them, he didn't show the slightest intention of backing down.

This was also the intention of the other Grand Elders.

If a mere fifteen lineages could make them retreat, how could they talk about suppressing the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and achieving supreme greatness?

Sensing the tough attitude of the Taiyi Holy Land's Grand Elders,

The opposing Peak Great Sage was also stunned, then reacted and gave a cold laugh.

"Heh, your harboring of Xu Jinhuan is your greatest crime!"

"This brat is guilty of terrible crimes and deserves to die; your shielding and indulgence of him are capital offenses!"

"If you want to preserve the Taiyi Legacy, then obediently hand him over! We might consider leaving a trace of your bloodline."

His voice was like a great bell, deafening, and it also contained a torrential saintly might, terrifying beyond measure.

The entire defense Formation of the Taiyi Holy Land fluctuated repeatedly, teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Bah! You're dreaming!"
