Chapter 506: Retaking the Tribulation, the Green Emperor's Revival!

"He's already advancing to the Ultimate HuanYuan?"

Jin Ling Holy Mother's pupils contracted slightly, and she was the first to speak, while the others' expressions were also filled with astonishment at this moment.

Maitreya Buddha pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

I

Although everyone had their suspicions, they still felt a complicated and shocking sensation upon hearing this confirmation.

In just over a decade, he had advanced from the initial attainment of the Ultimate HuanYuan to the current state of the Ultimate HuanYuan. Such talent was indeed terrifying.

These former legendary powerhouses, who had retaken the tribulation and reached their current state, had also spent hundreds of years, which was still slower than Qin Zheng's speed.

Zhang Heavenly Master's eyes flashed, and at this moment, he guessed, "Could he be the reincarnation of some powerhouse as well?"

Taiyi True Person laughed heartily, and after a few breaths, he calmed down and smiled at everyone, "My little junior brother cultivates the Three Pure Ones' Great Dao, embodying the Great Dao of the three saints. He is truly extraordinary."

D

Upon hearing this, Jin Ling Holy Mother smiled and followed, "Since he cultivates the Three Pure Ones' Great Dao, then he is also my little junior brother."

D

"The precious medicines offered by fellow Daoists are all great supplements that can significantly enhance cultivation. While recovering from his injuries, my little junior brother consumed these precious medicines to improve his cultivation. Although his advancement to the Ultimate HuanYuan is unexpected, it is also reasonable."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded in understanding. Their original intention in offering various precious medicines was to help Qin Zheng advance more quickly.

However, Qin Zheng's advancement speed had indeed exceeded their expectations. They had estimated that it would take at least ten years, but he had advanced right after.

"Amitabha!"

"When Qin Zheng attains the Ultimate HuanYuan, we should all go and congratulate him."

Maitreya Buddha spoke slowly.

Everyone responded without hesitation.

"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to step into the Chaos Void, leaving this True Realm and heading towards the Origin Abyss.

Dong! Dong!

A heavy bell chimed.

At the same time, a unique tremor suddenly appeared in everyone's hearts.

"A fellow cultivator who has retaken the tribulation has awakened!"

The True Martial Emperor's expression immediately brightened.

Qingcang Mountain, White Cloud Temple.

As the most prosperous Daoist temple in Cangzhou for nearly a hundred years, White Cloud Temple occupied a thousand acres of land. It had three thousand disciples and nearly ten thousand uninitiated Daoist children, making it the most renowned Daoist sect in the present age.

In addition to White Cloud Temple, there were six other Daoist sects within the Daoist community at that time, none of which were significantly weaker. The seven Daoist sects collectively revered one Ancestor, and together they were known as the Daoist Community.

Therefore, every hundred years, the seven Daoist sects would hold a Daoist trial, the purpose of which was to compete for the top position among the sects for the next hundred years.

Originally, White Cloud Temple, located in the eastern mountains, lacked resources compared to the other Daoist sects, and it was already struggling to catch up. Every year, they would participate just for the sake of participation, without any intention of vying for the top position among the sects.

However, in the last hundred years, the old temple master brought back a young child from outside the mountain. This child possessed astonishing talent, and at the age of five, he began to cultivate, and at ten, he started martial arts training, thus initiating a legendary era.

On the very day he started martial arts training at fifteen, he instantly broke through the four levels of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

Then, within a month, he advanced to the level of a Sect Master, and in three months, he became a Great Sect Master. In half a year, he reached the level of a Martial Saint, and in a year, he attained the Law Body! In just one year, he transformed from an ordinary mortal who ate grains to a Law Body cultivator who could fly through the sky and move across the earth!

After that, his progress slowed down, but he still advanced one realm every ten years: Human Immortal, Taiyi Void Realm, Taiyi True Realm, Taiyi Spirit Realm, Great Dharmakaya Heaven Immortal, Great Dharmakaya Mystic Immortal, Great Dharmakaya Golden Immortal! Three major realms and nine minor realms, which took exactly ninety years!

An ordinary wealthy old man might live to a hundred years old, but this extraordinary genius of White Cloud Temple spent a hundred years crossing countless barriers to truly become a Daoist immortal!

At this moment.

In the vast White Cloud Temple.

An old Daoist with white hair and a youthful face stood in the Ancestor Hall, respectfully offering incense to the Ancestor, his expression filled with utmost devotion.

He had been busy all his life, but had not achieved much. In terms of cultivation, he had only reached the Great Dharmakaya Golden Immortal realm with the support of the Dao Sect's foundation.

But he never expected that one day, on a sudden whim, he would walk out of the temple and find an infant in the wilderness, and that this child would lead White Cloud Temple to heights it had never reached before!

Recalling all the events of that day, the old Daoist believed that the Ancestor must have seen the decline of White Cloud Temple and decided to enlighten him, aiding the temple.

Although the seven Daoist sects all revered the same Ancestor, the weaker children always received more favor.

As the old Daoist thought, he respectfully offered three Great Dao incense sticks to the Ancestor's statue in front of him.

The smoke curled, adding to the Ancestor's stern presence.

The old Daoist then turned around and looked at the young Daoist behind him. The youth was tall and handsome, with a mysterious aura, as if a legendary immortal had descended from heaven.

However, a hint of doubt appeared in the young man's eyes at that moment.

But when the old Daoist turned, the youth quickly suppressed his doubt, not letting the old Daoist notice.

"Yi'er, it's your turn to offer incense to the Ancestor."

The old Daoist spoke kindly.

Lin Yi nodded and stepped forward, grabbing three incense sticks, lighting them, and then facing the Ancestor's statue, he bowed respectfully.

As he looked at the Ancestor's statue, a faint hint of doubt still appeared in his eyes.

After several bows and offerings, Lin Yi turned around and looked at his master, the current White Cloud Daoist of White Cloud Temple, and said, "Master."

"Hmm."

White Cloud Daoist smiled and nodded, then turned and walked out of the Ancestor Hall, with Lin Yi following closely behind.

Both being Great Dharmakaya Golden Immortals, they took only a step to leave the Ancestor Hall and ascend into the air above White Cloud Temple, then continued walking in a certain direction.

They had just paid respects to the Ancestor and were now heading to the Central Region to participate in the great competition among the seven Daoist sects, vying to be the supreme Daoist sect for the next ten thousand years.

"Yi'er has been distracted lately. Could it be that the upcoming trial is causing too much pressure?"

As they traversed the layers of the void, White Cloud Daoist suddenly spoke.

Lin Yi, who had been deep in thought, immediately snapped back to reality and calmly shook his head.

The trial among the seven Daoist sects was merely a competition among the most outstanding disciples of the past ten thousand years. With his realm and strength, no one who had entered cultivation in the past ten thousand years could match him.

"Oh?"

White Cloud Daoist let out a light exclamation, then smiled slightly and stroked his beard, saying, "Upon careful consideration, indeed, with my disciple's talent, even those who entered cultivation in the past hundred thousand years would not be able to defeat my disciple."

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and looked at the old Daoist with white hair and a youthful face, saying, "Master, are you admitting that you can't defeat me?"

White Cloud Daoist's expression turned serious, and he shook his head, saying, "No, I have been cultivating for a hundred thousand years and ten months, so I am not among those who entered cultivation in the past hundred thousandyears. Otherwise, I would have taken you down with one hand!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Very well! Master's lesson is well taken. No matter what realm I reach, I will never be able to defeat Master!"

Lin Yi immediately threw back his head and laughed loudly.

A smile appeared on White Cloud Daoist's face, then he spoke, "These past few days, you have been staring at the Ancestor's statue, lost in thought. Could it be that you are curious about the Ancestor?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's loud laughter gradually subsided, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Master, you noticed?"

White Cloud Daoist smiled and said, "When I brought you back to the temple, you were just a babbling infant. Having raised you to this day, how could I not notice your changes?"

Lin Yi fell silent again, then when he spoke, his voice was somewhat serious, "Can you tell me more about the Ancestor?"

White Cloud Daoist nodded. Even though this was common knowledge among cultivators and his disciples already knew it, he patiently explained, "Our Daoist Ancestor descended from the heavens a million years ago."

"According to legend, He wields three thousand Great Dao principles and is surrounded by countless immortals and deities. It was He who spread the Dao tradition in this world, allowing us to cultivate and avoid the suffering of reincarnation like mere mortals."

"It is also His decree that if we cultivate to the Chaos Realm, we can break through the void and ascend to the Nine Heavens, becoming true heavenly gods!"

"So, if we carefully consider it, our Ancestor is indeed the one who rules over the Heavenly Court!"

Lin Yi's brows furrowed even deeper at this thought.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned to his master and slowly spoke, "As disciples of the Dao Sect, we should pay our respects to the Dao Ancestor. Why would we worship the Heavenly Emperor? Is the Heavenly Emperor the Dao Ancestor, and the Dao Ancestor the Heavenly Emperor?"

Baiyun Daoist's brows furrowed slightly, as if pondering, and then hesitantly nodded, "The Supreme Heavenly Emperor rules over the Three Thousand Great Daos, so he should be the Dao Ancestor."

Lin Yi asked, "Master, have you ever heard of the 'Three Pure Ones'?"

Baiyun Daoist's brows furrowed deeper, as if searching through his vast memory of his ten-plus millennia of existence tensing as he tried to recall anything related to the 'Three Pure Ones.'

But after a moment, he shook his head, replying, "I've never heard of the 'Three Pure Ones,' Yi'er, where did you hear of them?"

Lin Yi's heart stirred with an unknown emotion, not daring to reveal that recently, his mind had been filled with strange memories and knowledge.

So, he shook his head, "I once heard a storyteller in the mortal realm mention the 'Three Pure Ones,' and their tales seemed so real that I remembered them."

Baiyun Daoist smiled understandingly, realizing that his disciple's recent absent-mindedness was due to believing the tales of mortal storytellers.

"This is my fault, Yi'er. You have exceptional talent, reaching the Great Transcendent Golden Immortal realm in just over a century, but you lack experience and knowledge of the mortal realm."

"Let me tell you, the stories and characters from those storytellers are all fabricated. They earn their living by spinning these tales, but they are mere illusions, not to be taken as truth."

"Yi'er, you mustn't believe their stories. If you confuse reality with fiction, it might bring you tribulations when you ascend to the Chaos Realm."

As Baiyun Daoist spoke these last words, his expression turned stern, and his tone became more serious.

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

The images and information that appeared in his mind were fragmented and disjointed, making it difficult for him to discern the truth from the false memories that occasionally surfaced.

At this moment, hearing Baiyun Daoist's words, he decided to temporarily set aside his doubts and view these memories from a 'bystander's' perspective.

If something felt amiss, he would cut it out immediately! Even if his past life's wisdom had awakened, he wouldn't let it affect his cultivation.

Lin Yi's heart made up his mind, and his gaze became more determined, no longer distracted as before.

Baiyun Daoist noticed this change and silently nodded, his worries easing.

The two of them continued their journey, chasing stars and moons, and after half a day, they finally broke through layer upon layer of void and arrived at the trial grounds in Zhongzhou, the territory of the first of the seven Dao Sects, the Sunmoon Dao Sect.

As soon as they appeared, the aura of the Great Transcendent Golden Immortal was unconcealed, immediately attracting the attention of the Sunmoon Dao Sect. One by one, auras rose in response.

Baiyun Daoist stood still, with Lin Yi behind him.

Several figures quickly soared into the sky, approaching the two. The one who spoke first was the old Sect Master of the Sunmoon Dao Sect, who had pierced through the Chaos Realm hundreds of years ago, receiving the Dao from his Ancestor, and was revered by all in the Dao Sect.

He wouldn't stay here for long, likely intending to observe the trial and leave a legacy for the Sunmoon Dao Sect before departing for the Heavenly Court.

The old Sect Master smiled at Baiyun Daoist's words and didn't stop him, as the gap between them was already like that between clouds and mud.

The Great Transcendent and the Chaos Realm were already two different levels of life! He glanced at Baiyun Daoist and then at Lin Yi behind him, smiling as he spoke, "This must be Baiyun Daoist's exceptional disciple, the once-in-a-million-years genius?"

At these words, Baiyun Daoist smiled slightly.

But Lin Yi's heart thundered, and he felt as if a supreme divine being from above was gazing down at him, their attention focused on him!
