Chapter 1432: Heavenly Lord Joins the Dao, Reincarnation Returns

Main Volume

"Heavenly Venerate is a historical issue. If he succeeds, he will be considered part of your Profound Origin Heaven lineage, though I wonder if the Ancestor of Merfolk will acknowledge him."Facing Chen Mobai's question, Heavenly Monarch Kongming seemed a little gleeful.

Upon hearing his words, Heavenly Monarch Xuansu remained impassive.

After all, in Profound Origin Heaven, while the Merfolk and human races weren't entirely incompatible, it was widely known that they were outwardly harmonious but inwardly estranged.

Heavenly Venerate was an anomaly. If he successfully merged with the Dao of Primordial Life and Death, he would become the Three Realms' top Primordial Dao Lord. However, to advance further, he would likely need to contend for the legitimacy of the Profound Origin Heaven lineage.

Before her transcendence, the Mother of Waters left behind her Celestial River Dao Fruit. This supreme Dao Fruit contained the mighty power of creation. To refine it, one first needed to master the Five Primordial Immortal Lights, thoroughly integrating the Primordial Five Primes.Currently, this Celestial River Dao Fruit was located in Profound Origin Heaven.

Heavenly Monarch Xuansu, whose Daoist title was "Su" (Purity), naturally cultivated the Grand Purity Scripture. She could also take the step into the Primordial realm at any time, but not everyone possessed the courage of Exorcist.

"Some change would be good. The Ancestor of Merfolk has monopolized the Celestial River Dao Fruit for so many years; I think it's time to let it go."While Heavenly Monarch Xuansu remained silent, Immortal Lord Wuwei spoke up.

As the supreme inheritance of the Palace of the Mother of Waters, the Celestial River Dao Fruit contained the essence of the Primordial Five Primes Great Dao, but it had always been held by the Merfolk race.

Under these circumstances, the fact that Xuansu and Exorcist could cultivate to the realm of Sublime Primordiality showed their exceptional talent. If Xuansu could comprehend the Celestial River Dao Fruit and verify her understanding of the Grand Purity Great Dao, she might gain the confidence to take that final step.

"What is the Celestial River Dao Fruit?"It was Chen Mobai's first time hearing this term, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.Immortal Lord Wuwei immediately provided an explanation.

"Could this Dao Fruit left by Senior Sister Tianhai be something similar to the Turtle Treasure?"Chen Mobai secretly wondered to himself after listening.

Turtle Spirit and Tianhai were symbiotic. The former could easily cultivate to the half-step creation realm, indicating that Tianhai had left creative power for her.Theoretically, the primary heir to this Celestial River Dao Fruit was Turtle Spirit. Given that it remained in Profound Origin Heaven, Tianhai likely left something even better for Turtle Spirit.

Boom!Just as Chen Mobai was pondering whether the Turtle Treasure could serve as a Celestial River Dao Fruit, an unprecedented roar suddenly echoed through the void.

Although Chen Mobai, who had refined the Turtle Treasure, couldn't control the Great Dao of the Void in the Spirit Void Immortal Realm due to the Grand Void Measuring Ruler, his mastery of this Great Dao was top-tier. Thus, in an instant, he understood the reason for the void's roar.A terrifyingly powerful being, capable of making the void tremble and unable to bear its emergence, had appeared.Yet, for the void, this seemed to be a joyous occasion.

In the boundless void, faint, resplendent five-colored Dao Flowers began to emerge, emitting a refreshing fragrance that enlightened even the immortal beings.Chen Mobai perceived that not only was the void trembling, but even the other Three Thousand Great Daos displayed joy at this moment. The stars of the heavens shone with an unprecedented brilliance, swaying in celebration.

For most beings in the Three Realms, such a celestial phenomenon was a first-time sight.They felt immense shock.

Heavenly Monarch Kongming and the other Tier 7 True Immortals present, being the top existences in the Spirit Void Immortal Realm, naturally all perceived the void's tremor.

Unlike Chen Mobai's initial experience, Heavenly Monarchs Kongming and Xuansu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a trace of disbelieving shock.

In a void of no light or darkness, only black and white, a handsome youth wearing a wooden crown and a green robe sighed."So, it still didn't work out, after all?"

As his words faded, a towering tree appeared behind the wooden-crowned youth. Its branches and leaves, once vibrant with life, were now completely withered.With a cracking sound, this spiritual plant, his original form, seemed to have endured billions of years, constantly cracking, then weathering away into countless dust particles that vanished in this black and white void.

As his original form dissipated, the black and white light of life and death grew even brighter.

"The Great Dao of Life and Death is not as shallow as you understand it to be." Just as cracks resembling wood grain began to appear on the youth's body, a cold voice resonated in the black and white void.

"Who is it?"The wooden-crowned youth was Heavenly Venerate. Having failed to merge with the Dao, he was in his final moments.

Soon, he recalled something and sighed with a touch of disrespect, "Ghost Mother? I never thought my lifelong efforts would pave the way for your return. How truly unwilling I am!"

The Primordial Great Dao of Life and Death had already been merged with by the Ghost Mother before him.Now that his attempt to merge had failed, wasn't this the Ghost Mother's return?

"Ghost Mother? I don't have such a Daoist title. What you're referring to must be my pet."However, the cold voice in the void uttered words that made Heavenly Venerate's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Pet? May I ask, Senior, who are you?"Even on the verge of death, Heavenly Venerate couldn't suppress his curiosity, wanting to know the origin of this mysterious voice echoing within the Great Dao of Life and Death.

"It's a pity you cultivate the Great Dao of Life and Death. Didn't Tianhai ever mention me to you?"The cold voice sounded again, causing Heavenly Venerate to ponder deeply.

Soon, Heavenly Venerate remembered the last lesson Master Tianhai gave him when he left the Palace of the Mother of Waters.In that lesson, his master not only revealed the truth about why she killed the Ghost Mother but also mentioned a Daoist title:Samsara!

"You are..."The two words had just escaped Heavenly Venerate's lips when his own Daoization reached its final critical juncture.

"The junior does have some insight. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? This old man, upon my return through you, will help you complete them."At that moment, the cold voice suddenly spoke from Heavenly Venerate's mouth.

Heavenly Venerate's eyes widened in horror. He looked down and saw that his original body, which had begun to weather away due to his failed attempt to merge with the Dao, was now, as if time were reversing, healing its cracks, withering wood blooming, and tender leaf buds sprouting, once again becoming luxuriant and full of foliage.

"What on earth is going on?"Heavenly Venerate could no longer utter this question, as his body was no longer under his control.

Moments later, the towering tree behind Heavenly Venerate glowed with black and white spiritual light. A massive wheel descended and was gently held in the palm of the reborn wooden-crowned youth.

Myriad Worlds Heaven, Eastern Imperial Villa.

"Senior Brother, this is..."Ji Yuhan's face paled. Amidst this strange void fluctuation, she sensed a hint of familiarity. Midway through her sentence, she whispered a telepathic message to Kongming.

"No one here is an outsider; there's no need to hide anything."Upon hearing this, Kongming spoke in a deep voice. Ji Yuhan's telepathic message confirmed his suspicions.

"Yes, I was previously stationed in Moyi Heaven, which is near the forbidden land formed by Heavenly Venerate's Azure Splendor Realm. The Great Dao fluctuations now shaking the void and making countless stars sway in celebration are almost identical to the forbidden power emanating from that area."

Although Ji Yuhan's words didn't explicitly state it, everyone present understood her meaning.Heavenly Venerate had merged with the Dao!

"I never thought... he actually succeeded," Immortal Lord Wuwei muttered to himself.

Among the Tier 7 experts, he was considered young and thus had not witnessed the magnificent phenomena of someone ascending to a Primordial Dao Lord in the Spirit Void Immortal Realm.

Kongming and Xuansu, however, had both witnessed the Sage of a Thousand Autumns merging with the Dao of Primordial Sagely Virtue. Although that event involved golden lotuses sprouting from the earth, golden light filling the sky, and boundless radiance illuminating all directions, which was somewhat different, the void's tremor was similar, leading them to this conclusion from the start.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!At this moment, Great Dao manifestations began to appear in the skies of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

In the Spirit Void Immortal Realm, there were many powerful beings. Not only Chen Mobai and his group but also other True Immortals and Dao Lords sensed the void's tremor indicating the completion of the Great Dao of Life and Death and the emergence of a Primordial Dao Lord.

These Great Dao manifestations stood with their heads touching the starry sky and their feet treading the void. They opened their Dharma eyes and looked towards the forbidden land at the outermost edge of the Spirit Void Immortal Realm, almost bordering chaos.

In the eyes of these beings, they saw a tall, divine entity, holding sway over life and death, step forth from the Great Dao. The vortex-like forbidden land suddenly dispelled its chaos, becoming distinctly clear and turbid, transforming into a perfectly clear black-and-white circle.

This was life and death, which all beings feared like tigers, yet with a wave of the mighty divine entity's hand, it transformed into a profound wheel, continuously revolving in its palm.

With each revolution, Chen Mobai felt the Turtle Treasure tremble in response.This was the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Three Realms beginning to converge under the Wheel of Life and Death. As the creative Dao Fruit of the Holy Mother Guiling, the Turtle Treasure could clearly perceive this process, thus reflecting it in Chen Mobai's mind.

"Heavenly Venerate has merged with the Dao of Life and Death and is mending the Three Thousand Great Daos. This is a great merit. As Heavenly Monarchs and Immortal Lords, we should go and pay our respects."Heavenly Monarch Kongming's ethereal manifestation stood above Myriad Worlds Heaven, while his true body addressed Chen Mobai and the others present.

"Let's go together. After all, Heavenly Venerate hails from Eastern Continent, and he's my fellow countryman."Before Heavenly Monarch Xuansu could speak, Immortal Lord Wuwei had already nodded in agreement.From a karmic perspective, Heavenly Venerate had protected the lineage of the Daoist Sect in the past, allowing it to take root and be passed down in Eastern Continent. Even though the Daoist Patriarch had already passed away, Wuwei still felt compelled to offer congratulations.

"Junior Martial Uncle, will you join us?" Heavenly Monarch Kongming asked.

Chen Mobai naturally didn't want to go.After all, his relationship and connections with Heavenly Venerate were quite entangled.After True Monarch Yiyuan's Daoization, his karma had evidently fully transferred to Heavenly Venerate, his main body.If he went, at the very least, the Primordial Golden Dipper would not be safe.Although Chen Mobai didn't particularly covet it, the Primordial Golden Dipper insisted on staying with him, and he certainly couldn't give it away to Heavenly Venerate. What would other magical artifacts think then?Considering that Heavenly Venerate could remotely control the Primordial Golden Dipper and prevent its resistance even before merging with the Dao, it was needless to say what he could do now that he had ascended to a Primordial Dao Lord.
