Chapter 707: Heaven and Earth Legacy
Chapter 707: Heaven and Earth Legacy
Yuan Luo, once the Heaven and Earth Sect's top prodigy, is now a Free Spirit Immortal, his power and influence shaking the entire Under Heaven.
His descent into darkness is a heavy blow to the Heaven and Earth Sect, which prides itself on being a righteous sect.
An Xing received news that Yuan Luo, while training outside, encountered a convergence of various sects. For some reason, he suddenly turned to darkness and slaughtered tens of thousands of cultivators, including hundreds of fellow disciples. The news spread back to the Heaven and Earth Sect, and it was impossible to suppress.
Other sects are also using this incident to tarnish the reputation of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
An Xing feels that this is an unprecedented crisis for the Heaven and Earth Sect. If not handled properly, it could affect the sect's future development.
"Just let it be. This tribulation can serve as a test of the Heaven and Earth Sect's resolve", Gu An said casually.
Yuan Luo has not truly turned to darkness. He merely acted out of intense anger. In fact, Yuan Luo has had a deep-seated resentment since childhood, a fact known to the higher-ups in the Heaven and Earth Sect.
As the Reincarnation of Chaos Grievance Luo, Yuan Luo's power grows with his resentment and anger. During his conflicts with the Dao Court, he became increasingly aware of this and began to consciously enter extreme emotional states.
Currently, Yuan Luo is not powerful enough to cause widespread chaos in the Under Heaven. With Chaos Grievance Luo sealed, he can only tap into a fraction of that power.
In truth, the Heaven and Earth Sect has other hidden dangers besides Yuan Luo.
The rigid rules of the righteous path can sometimes breed hatred and become a weapon for those with ill intentions.
Upon hearing Gu An's words, An Xing realized something and stepped aside to let Gu An pass.
Watching Gu An and Shen Zhen depart, An Xing sighed softly. She understood that her master was weary of caring for the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Although she has a good relationship with the Heaven and Earth Sect, she would not defy or question her master's decisions.
An Xing stopped thinking about it and turned to leave. Recently, she has been deeply immersed in the Reincarnation Projection technique, her understanding of the Primordial Dao Emperor growing deeper.
She increasingly feels that the path of the Primordial Dao Emperor is unfathomable and holds boundless potential. She resolved to become a Primordial Dao Emperor.
All the Wu Shi Disciples are walking the path of the Primordial Dao Emperor, and she intends to be the first Primordial Dao Emperor in the Nothingness, aside from Gu An.
...
The sun was bright, and Xiao Lan, dressed in a white dress, walked along a stone path beside a stream, curiously admiring the scenery along the way.
"Senior Sister Xiao Lan."
A voice came from the side, and a blue-robed man descended from the sky, landing beside her with a smile.
The blue-robed man was tall and exuded a refined aura. His smile was warm and inviting, like a gentle breeze.
Xiao Lan nodded at him and asked, "Cheng, you're here too?"
"Master said the Hall Master wants to see me, so I came. I didn't expect there to be others. It seems there might be more disciples", Cheng said with a smile.
Xiao Lan became interested. It seemed the Hall Master had something important to arrange.
The two continued on, exchanging pleasantries.
On the way, they encountered other disciples, which made them even more curious about their destination.
When they arrived at a courtyard, they saw over a dozen disciples waiting. Xiao Lan also spotted Zhao Rushen.
"Even he's here. It must be something significant", Xiao Lan thought to herself. Zhao Rushen now wields immense power in the Dao Court, second only to the Hall Master Yuan Songzi. Everyone sees Zhao Rushen as the next Hall Master.
It wasn't just Xiao Lan; the other disciples were equally astonished when they saw Zhao Rushen.
Zhao Rushen, dressed in a black robe, sat beside Yuan Songzi, exuding an air of dominance that seemed to look down upon all of Under Heaven. He glanced at Xiao Lan and the others, his gaze heavy with oppressive power. Apart from a few, most of the disciples dared not meet his eyes.
Yuan Songzi looked at the gathered disciples and smiled. "Everyone who should be here is here. I've called you today to announce something."
The disciples stood in a row, not daring to sit like Zhao Rushen.
Xiao Lan wasn't afraid to sit, but she chose not to, preferring to keep a distance from Yuan Songzi and Zhao Rushen. She spent most of her time in seclusion, trying to stay away from the internal factional struggles of the Dao Court.
Although Yuan Songzi had taken her to the Great Dao Path, her master did not belong to the same faction as Zhao Rushen.
"Lord of the Dao Court, what has happened? Is the Hundred Teachings planning to attack us?" Cheng couldn't help but ask first.
This question made the other disciples tense up.
In recent years, the number of sects causing trouble for the Dao Court had increased, and news of various conflicts had reached the Dao Court. Despite claiming to be the righteous path and the overlord of Under Heaven, the Dao Court's handling of certain matters had left the disciples dissatisfied. Everyone could feel the oppressive pressure from other sects and the Dao Court's growing weakness.
While they were often unhappy with the higher-ups, the idea of a war with the Hundred Teachings made them nervous.
Times had changed, and the Dao Court no longer had the power to suppress the entire Mortal World.
"That won't happen, but the situation you're imagining will eventually come to pass", Yuan Songzi said with a light laugh. This statement caused the disciples' faces to change, but seeing his smile, they felt he wasn't worried.
Perhaps the Lord of the Dao Court already had a plan.
With this thought, the disciples felt reassured.
"You are all the most outstanding disciples of the Dao Court, and you have high prestige. I plan to pass on the various traditions of the Dao Court to you. When the Dao Court eventually disbands, you will be able to establish your own sects. Do you have the confidence to do so?"
Yuan Songzi said this with a smile, as if he were talking about something trivial.
The courtyard erupted in chaos as the disciples were shocked and began to protest.
"Lord of the Dao Court, what do you mean? Why would you dissolve the Dao Court?"
"We're not afraid to fight. Even if it means a fight to the death with the Hundred Sects, we won't back down!"
"That's right. The Dao Court has seen every kind of storm since its founding. What's there to fear?"
"Exactly, Lord of the Dao Court. Why don't we launch a surprise attack on the Hundred Sects?"
As the disciples grew more agitated, Xiao Lan remained silent, her gaze fixed on Yuan Songzi. She didn't think he was the kind to be easily frightened.
When the Unyielding Imperial Clan tried to kill them, Yuan Songzi showed no fear and led the charge.
The combined strength of the Hundred Teachings didn't come close to the Unyielding Imperial Clan.
Yuan Songzi raised his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. The disciples had to suppress their emotions.
"The Dao Court has ruled Under Heaven for over a million years, long enough. What you may not know is that the Dao Court was not founded by me alone. It was formed by the first sects of Heaven and Earth before the Reformation of Heaven and Earth, and I merely facilitated their union. After the Dao Court disbands, you will establish new sects and create the order of a new era. This, in itself, is a form of succession."
Yuan Songzi spoke earnestly, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Of course, the Dao Court won't dissolve easily. We must make other sects understand how difficult it is to hold this throne and serve as a warning to future generations. This will better benefit the people of Under Heaven."
