Chapter 768: Chapter 760: The Calamity from Beyond the Heavenly Dao

The white skeleton in the darkness sat motionless, only the green flame in its palms flickered continuously, looking bewitching and eerie.

After an indeterminate amount of time, its skull slowly trembled, dark eyes opened under its brow bone, representing the ultimate evil of the Great Dao, profound and terrifying.

It slowly lifted its right hand, its bones spread apart, and seven small bones wrapped in black mist flew out, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Having done all this, it closed its eyes again and continued to fall into slumber.

Far away in the Celestial Spirit Great World, Gu An did not tell An Xin about the origin of the Dark Divine Sect, but said that the Dark God resided in the Outer Heaven, making An Xin frequently look up to the sky, but she could see nothing, which only increased her desire for a higher realm.

Under the background of world conflict, the Dark Divine Sect, although drawing some attention, was not yet powerful enough to participate in the struggle for supremacy, so the major Immortal Cultivation Sects did not pay much attention.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Dark Divine Sect rapidly developed, eventually infiltrating various major sects. Those who were disillusioned and consumed by hatred were attracted to the ideals of the Dark Divine Sect, and they even saw the divine presence of the Dark God in their dreams, which obsessed them and drove them to madness.

Fifty thousand years later, the Dark Divine Sect had become an unignorable force in the Human World, with followers in every sect.

However, the Dark Divine Sect could not stop the wars in the Human World. Years of fighting had built up irreconcilable hatreds among the sects, and even if the Dark Divine Sect stirred up trouble within them, they could not put aside their immediate enmity and interests.

In the depths of the universe, before the World Gate.

Celestial Spirit God, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave, and Emperor Tianhong gathered here.

Having regained his Immortal Position, Emperor Tianhong radiated with Immortal Light, brighter than the distant stars.

At this moment, the faces of Celestial Spirit God, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave were extremely grave. They surrounded Emperor Tianhong, all remaining silent.

Celestial Spirit God was the first to break the silence and asked, “Are we sure this is related to the Chaos Evil Demon beyond the Heavenly Dao?”

Emperor Tianhong nodded and said, “The chaos beyond the Heavenly Dao is vast and boundless. Whether it is truly a Chaos Evil Demon remains uncertain. The only thing certain is that there is an infiltration from beyond the Heavenly Dao, their methods are unbelievable and hard to capture. The Celestial Court is also observing the changes. One thing I can confirm is that the Dark Divine Sect is a variable from beyond the Heavenly Dao.”

Taiyi Immortal Monarch followed up, “The rise of the Dark Divine Sect is indeed too rapid. Without being able to deduce its origin, we can only speculate from the cause and effect beyond the Heavenly Dao.”

The Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave glanced at each other. Though they remained silent, the worry on their faces grew heavier.

As Heavenly Court Immortals, they were indifferent to the beings of the Heavenly Dao but held great dread towards everything beyond the Heavenly Dao due to numerous stories they had heard.

In some respects, their indifference to the beings of the Heavenly Dao was because their attention was focused beyond the Heavenly Dao.

“What should we do now? If we let this continue, the Celestial Spirit Great World may really come under the dominion of the Dark Divine Sect.” a Golden Cave Immortal asked.

They were not considering the well-being of the Celestial Spirit Great World’s beings but were thinking of Gu An. They were now serving Gu An, and if the Celestial Spirit Great World were taken over by the Dark Divine Sect, it would certainly affect Gu An, which would signify their incompetence.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch pondered, “Perhaps it is not that difficult. That existence has not instructed us, indicating the crisis is not yet substantial enough to disturb him. With his cultivation level, he should be able to perceive threats beyond the Heavenly Dao.”

These words made sense to the assembled immortals. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Gu An could face the Eternal Life Venerable, his cultivation level unfathomable.

“Regardless, although he has not given instructions, we cannot just stand by. Let’s investigate together,” Taiyi Immortal Monarch ordered.

The immortals had no objections and soon dispersed.

Celestial Spirit God stood at the World Gate, watching the departing figure of Taiyi Immortal Monarch and could not help but sigh, “Just this composure alone is beyond me.”

Even knowing the cause and effect related to the Dark Divine Sect beyond the Heavenly Dao, Taiyi Immortal Monarch did not hastily seek out Gu An but continued to act, intending to prove himself.

If it were him, he would certainly have sought out Gu An, believing Gu An possessed greater insight.

But then again, if Gu An could perceive it, what difference would it make if he asked or not?

And if Gu An could not perceive it, telling him would not change the already established existence of the Dark Divine Sect.

According to his understanding of Gu An, even if Gu An could not fully understand the cause and effect of the Dark Divine Sect, he would still not be completely unaware of its presence.

Celestial Spirit God no longer thought about it and turned his gaze to the World Gate.

Within the Celestial Spirit Great World, the chaotic forces grew stronger, and the matters he could oversee became fewer. Guarding the World Gate was his Immortal Position, a duty he had to ensure.

At the very least, he could not allow intruders to break into the Celestial Spirit Great World through the World Gate.

…

Celestial Court, Guangfa Immortal Palace.

In the vast hall, Li Xuanmiao, Celestial Destruction God, and hundreds of other immortals sat, maintaining a certain distance from each other. Each presented their Dharma Aspect, resplendent and beautiful, exuding the unique aura of immortals.

Guangfa Tai Guang Divine Venerable sat at the head, overlooking all the immortals in the hall.

“Today’s topic, how should the Celestial Court deal with the Dark God from the chaos?” Guangfa Tai Guang Divine Venerable spoke, and the immortals, his disciples, fell into contemplation even before he spoke.

A white-haired elder at the front spoke first, “The Dark God differs from the Chaos Evil Demons we know. He originates from the Great Dao, sharing the same source. Simply eliminating his avatar cannot resolve the problem at the root. Perhaps we should start from what he desires.”

“The Dark God spreads faith, following a path akin to the Celestial Court’s, relying on worship. If all living beings don’t yearn for darkness, he has no opportunity.”

This statement immediately prompted another immortal to respond, “Easier said than done. The battle for the position of Son of Heaven has already begun. The two candidates will not relent, and neither will the immortal factions backing them. How can we end the catastrophe of the Three Thousand Great Worlds? If it doesn’t end, the hearts of all living beings will harbor darkness.”

At this, more immortals began to speak, each offering their opinions, and some even quarreled, making the atmosphere in the hall intense.

Li Xuanmiao sat near the front but remained silent, patiently listening.

Celestial Destruction God sat at the back and dared not speak lightly, knowing this was a test by Guangfa Tai Guang Divine Venerable, requiring cautious handling.

After a long time.

Guangfa Tai Guang Divine Venerable interrupted, “None of your strategies can avoid the struggle for the position of Son of Heaven. In your opinion, which is the greater calamity, the one brought by the Dark God or the battle for the position of Son of Heaven?”

As soon as he finished, the hall fell silent. No immortal or god dared to speak.
