Chapter 353: The Supreme Being Preaches
Shen Yuan looked at the panicked eunuch in surprise.
Ji Zhaoyang had personally ordered that no one else should enter this courtyard. Now this eunuch was waiting for him here, obviously under Ji Zhaoyang's order.
Before he could ask, he heard the eunuch say:
"Three days ago, the Heavenly Monitoring Department suddenly sent a message that this Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms will be opened in advance.
The forces of the Ten Holy Lands, the Thirty-six Cave Heavens, the Seventy-two Blessed Lands, the Four Rivers and Four Seas, the Outer Domain God System, and the Overseas Islands have all arrived."
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince was waiting for His Excellency Daozi to come out of retreat in the courtyard. After waiting for two days without success, he set off for the Taoist temple at the hour of Mao. He ordered me to wait here and invite His Excellency Daozi to the venue as soon as His Excellency Daozi came out of retreat.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince left a message that he would delay the official opening of the Dharma Assembly as much as possible to wait for His Excellency Daozi to arrive."
As soon as the voice fell, the eunuch saw a beam of light rising into the sky and turning into a meteor, rushing towards the direction of the Taoist temple.
In the outer city of the imperial capital, in the Luotian Dojo.
As the Heavenly Supervisor saw the opening of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of the various realms, the Dayin Dynasty specially built a magnificent Luotian Dojo in the outer city.
The entire dojo is built of void stone, and the complex array patterns on it are all made by the masters of array formations, which are enough to construct a void channel extending to the depths of the boundless void.
In the Luotian Dojo, several major forces in the Xuanhuang Realm have arrived.
Treasure pavilions and fairy palaces, auspicious clouds and strange beasts are all over the sky, as if it is a fairyland.
In the most magnificent palace on the earth, Ji Zhaoyang, the third prince of the Dayin royal family, sat in the first seat on the right, looking nervously at the direction of the inner city of the imperial capital, feeling extremely uneasy.
The essence of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of the various realms is a Luotian Realm that was born from the preaching of the Great Heavenly Venerable of Morality 90,000 years ago. Its great power runs through the long river of history and appears in different eras.
The only way to enter the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms is to step into the depths of the boundless void at the right time and the right place, so as to find the Luotian Realm.
Ordinary cultivators can only use Taoist tools and immortal treasures to cross the void, or directly break into the void with their physical bodies in the Refining Void Realm to gain a chance.
However, in the vast and boundless void, this method is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Only the top worlds can spend huge costs to build the Luotian Daochang to capture the traces of the Luotian Realm and send all the testers into the Luotian Realm.
Even for the Dayin Dynasty, the cost of building the Luotian Daochang is extremely terrifying, and it even requires support from various forces including the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
Moreover, the opportunity to open the Luotian Daochang is often only a few days. Once missed, it may take several months, or even completely lose the opportunity to enter the Luotian Realm.
Today is the best time for the opening of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms. All forces have arrived here early, and everything seems to be ready, but Ji Zhaoyang has an accident here.
Because Shen Yuan, who entered the retreat, has not come out yet.
When he thought of this, Ji Zhaoyang couldn't help showing bitterness on his face.
The opening of the All Realms Luotian Dharma Assembly was of great importance. Ji Zhaoyang was ready to notify Shen Yuan three days ago. Normally, even if Shen Yuan was in retreat, Ji Zhaoyang would have a way to wake Shen Yuan up in advance.
But the problem was that Shen Yuan disappeared after entering the practice room. He didn't stay in the mansion at all. Ji Zhaoyang couldn't contact Shen Yuan by any means.
This news completely stunned Ji Zhaoyang. Even many staff members of the Third Prince's mansion believed that Shen Yuan had sensed the danger of the All Realms Luotian Dharma Assembly and had fled.
Although Ji Zhaoyang also had doubts about this speculation, he could only bite the bullet and insist on claiming that Shen Yuan was just in retreat.
Shen Yuan was his biggest reliance on this trip to the All Realms Luotian Dharma Assembly. If he didn't have Shen Yuan's help, he would be in danger in the face of the encirclement of the prince's faction.
By then, the powerful people of the Third Prince's faction would surely be scattered.
Ji Zhaoyang, who was forced to do so, deliberately used his status as a prince to delay the opening of the Dharma Assembly. It was not until today that he could no longer delay and came to the Luotian Dojo.
At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, but Shen Yuan's figure had not yet been seen, which made Ji Zhaoyang's heart gradually sink to the bottom of the valley.
On the first seat on the left, a servant walked carefully to the side of Dayin Prince Ji Xuanyi and reached out to take out a secret letter.
Ji Xuanyi opened the secret letter and glanced at the contents of the letter. A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face, and there was a bit more mockery in his eyes when he looked at Ji Zhaoyang.
The abnormal movements of the Third Prince's Mansion in the past few days made the prince's family a little confused, and even sent spies to investigate several times.
However, under Ji Zhaoyang's strict blockade, the prince's family did not find out any specific information.
Until today, when the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms was about to start, the forces of all parties gathered but did not see the Luoyun Taoist, which made Ji Xuanyi vaguely understand a little bit.
Just now, some of the powerful people of the Third Prince's faction who felt that the situation was hopeless took the initiative to surrender and informed the Crown Prince in a secret letter that Luo Yun Daozi had disappeared, which completely confirmed Ji Xuanyi's guess.
Looking around at the three Refining God Real People, three Returning Void Great Real People, and a Refining Void Real Lord who was covered in a black robe, Ji Xuanyi could be said to be full of confidence.
On the other hand, there were only four Refining God Real People and two Returning Void Great Real People around Ji Zhaoyang, and they were still harboring ulterior motives, which made the difference between the two sides clear.
"Luo Yun Daozi took the initiative to withdraw? He is a smart guy, but it's a pity that I wasted the killing game I set up in advance."
Thinking of this, Ji Xuanyi said mockingly:
"Third brother, there is no need to wait any longer. The helper you rely on will not come.
If you take the initiative to admit defeat, I may choose to spare your life for the sake of our brotherhood."
Ji Zhaoyang looked gloomy, and did not believe Ji Xuanyi's nonsense about sparing your life.
As long as he was favored by the human luck for one day, he would be a huge threat to Ji Xuanyi. Only by killing him, Ji Xuanyi could eliminate future troubles.
If he really admitted defeat at this moment, he would be courting death.
Ji Zhaoyang said coldly: "This is my private matter, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry about it.
On the contrary, the former candidate for the Holy Son Yu Ke, who was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did not show up. Did something unexpected happen?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"I hope that the Third Emperor can still maintain such a tough attitude in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms."
Now that he understood the purpose of Ji Zhaoyang's delay, Ji Xuanyi was not going to let Ji Zhaoyang delay any longer, lest there would be more trouble.
Looking at the Heavenly Supervisor, Ji Xuanyi slowly ordered:
"The auspicious time has arrived, it's time to open the Luotian Dojo."
Ji Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows and subconsciously retorted:
"Wait a little longer, it's not the best time yet."
Ji Xuanyi sneered: "The opportunity to capture the Luotian Realm is fleeting, and if you are not careful, you will miss the opportunity to participate in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms.
If you lose, can you bear the responsibility?"
Ji Zhaoyang looked at the scene of the gathering of immortals on the sky outside the palace.
The most savvy people from various forces and the young generation of Tianjiao strongmen gathered here. He could ignore the opinions of one or two of them, but with so many forces gathered, even the Dayin Dynasty could not ignore it, not to mention that Ji Zhaoyang would not follow his wishes.
Seeing Ji Zhaoyang fall into silence, Ji Xuanyi waved his right hand lightly, and the order was transmitted from the palace to the outside world.
"The auspicious time has arrived, open the Luotian Daochang!"
The earth trembled, and the light flickered on the complex array pattern. The Luotian Daochang, which was carved from void stone, began to turn into an illusion.
The next moment, a large area of space was shattered, revealing the dark and deep boundless void.
A huge compass appeared above the Luotian Daochang.
The outer edge of the compass was engraved with the scale of time, and the inner ring was written with Taoist texts. The huge pointer kept deflecting the angle as if trying to capture something.
Suddenly, the time engraved on the compass shone brightly, and the Taoist texts written were slowly lit up at this moment, and a space channel spread straight to the depths of the boundless void.
"Found it!"
The shouts of surprise spread throughout the Luotian Daochang. In the fairy palaces and treasure pavilions, many practitioners stared at the void channel.
Seeing this, Ji Xuanyi stood up from his seat with satisfaction and walked towards the Luotian Dojo, followed by the great immortals and the powerful Zhenjun.
Ji Zhaoyang was silent for a moment, and then stood up and walked towards the Luotian Dojo.
In the Immortal Palace Treasure Pavilion, practitioners with "quotas" came out one after another and landed in the Luotian Dojo.
Except for the younger generation of practitioners, many others were either wearing long robes to cover their faces, or carrying rare treasures that were difficult to see.
Some forces looked at each other and thought about the people participating in the Luotian Dharma Assembly.
But more people set their eyes on the third prince Ji Zhaoyang. After seeing that there was no familiar figure beside Ji Zhaoyang, many practitioners of the forces were startled, and then their faces were overjoyed.
Seeing Shen Yuan's action in the Luobao Pavilion, many people regarded Shen Yuan as a strong enemy of this Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms.
No matter what the reason is, it is a happy thing for all forces to have such a strong enemy missing now.
When all the people who had the quota entered the Luotian Dojo, Ji Xuanyi looked around and said slowly:
"In the Luotian Realm, there are not only people from my Xuanhuang Realm, but also strong people from other worlds and lucky people who accidentally entered the void.
As people from the Xuanhuang Realm, we should support each other and reduce the fighting between each other as much as possible."
As soon as Ji Xuanyi said this, the practitioners of various forces couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts.
Everyone has the right to say this, except Ji Xuanyi, the prince of Dayin.
The dispute between the prince and the third prince is almost exposed, and they will fight to the death as soon as they enter the Luotian Realm.
However, after realizing that Luoyun Daozi had left, the various forces had already determined in their hearts that the prince of Dayin would win the final victory, and they all responded to Ji Xuanyi's words.
"Your Highness, the prince is right."
"I have learned from you."
"We must unite to fight against the enemies of the other worlds."
Ji Xuanyi was in a good mood and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly saw a light rushing in the distant sky.
This escaping light was like a sharp sword that traversed the sky. Wherever it touched, the clouds on the sky were all cut apart. In an instant, it had crossed hundreds of miles and approached Luotian Daochang.
"It's Luoyun Daozi!"
Ji Zhaoyang was surprised, and many sect forces also showed surprised eyes.
Ji Xuanyi, who was standing aside, was shocked and hurriedly ordered the Tianjiansi: "Hurry up and start the transmission!"
There was no doubt that Ji Xuanyi wanted to start the transmission in advance and stop Shen Yuan outside Luotian Daochang.
"Ji Xuanyi!"
Ji Zhaoyang glared and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The array pattern above Luotian Daochang turned into a space barrier that wrapped everyone in it, cutting off contact with the outside world.
Even if the escape light is close to Luotian Daochang, it is impossible to enter the void channel smoothly.
Layers of space are broken, and the huge Luotian Daochang seems to be able to cross the boundary along the void channel at any time.
Ji Zhaoyang is extremely angry, but he can do nothing in the face of such a situation.
The eyes of various forces are teasing, and Ji Xuanyi has a confident smile on his face. Everything seems to be settled.
The next moment, the broken space stopped, and a crack quietly crossed the space barrier and appeared inside Luotian Daochang.
Then a figure wearing white robes and a fairy-like temperament strode into this place.
The person who came was Shen Yuan.
Hutian Divine Power has entered the fourth realm, and even advanced towards the fifth realm. How could it be hindered by a mere space barrier?
With a light wave of his right hand, he wiped away the space crack like wiping dust, and everything returned to its original state again.
All this was done in an instant. When everyone came back to their senses, they saw Shen Yuan standing beside Ji Zhaoyang, smiling and saying:
"I'm a little late, please don't mind, Third Prince."
Ji Zhaoyang's expression was extremely clear, and he responded repeatedly: "Not too late! Not too late!"
However, at this moment, the practitioners of various forces all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Luotian Daochang is the epitome of the Dao of Space in the Xuanhuang Realm. The external space barrier is enough to resist the void storm. Even an old-fashioned Zhenjun who practices space magic like Caiyuan Zhenjun cannot break through in a short time.
But such a powerful space barrier is nothing in front of Shen Yuan.
"His space magic has improved again!"
"Caiyuan Zhenjun can't reach this level either. Could it be that he has touched the realm of Dao?"
Ji Xuanyi's expression was even more gloomy, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Just as the Dayin Prince was about to speak, the space was completely shattered in the next moment, and Luotian Daochang escaped into the illusory world along the void channel.
In an unknown place, an old man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged on a cushion. Under him, the yin and yang flowed and transformed into a huge Tai Chi diagram that seemed to cover the heavens and the world.
The old man whispered and slowly talked about the "Tao". Below him, a group of majestic figures who looked like gods and demons sat there. Their figures seemed to be obscured by the fog of history and could not be seen clearly.
In this unknown place, time seemed to have lost its meaning. This preaching spanned countless years and appeared in the endless time and space of the past, present, and future.
Suddenly, the preaching old man paused slightly, as if he was looking at a certain place.
But just a moment later, the preaching sound resounded through the heavens and the world again.
