Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Let’s go, my friend. It seems like you and I have a lot to say to each other.”
Empress Xiaohe smiled as she stared at Jiang Changsheng. This made the two fairies beside her curious about Jiang Changsheng, and they looked at him with curiosity.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and walked side by side with Empress Xiaohe. The two fairies took a step back.
He did not know what year it was and how many years had passed since they last met. Looking at the change in Empress Xiaohe’s temperament, it must have been a long time.
Great Paragon Ksitigarbha once said that between the Kunlun Leader, Ancestor Xuan Ti, and Fairy Xiaohe, one of them had passed away.
Since it was not Fairy Xiaohe, who could it be?
Even though Jiang Changsheng did not have a close interaction with the previous two experts, he could not help but feel emotional when he thought about how those transcendent cultivators could not withstand the passage of time.
However…
Jiang Changsheng glanced at Empress Xiaohe and thought to himself, “It’s good if it’s not her.”
Among the several times he went to the past, he had met Empress Xiaohe the most. Previously, when he heard Empress Xiaohe preach the Dao, he had obtained the true meaning of karma. After observing her for half a lifetime, their relationship became closer.
Empress Xiaohe smiled and said, “I have some connections with the lord of this dojo. When the time comes, you can follow by my side and listen to the Dao. That way, we can be closer.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“I still wish to hear you call me a fellow Daoist.
“Then thank you, fellow Daoist.”
The two of them looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes and smiled. Even though time had passed and things had changed, when the two of them walked together, it was similar to a long time ago when they were equal and friendly.
As he followed by Empress Xiaohe’s side, Jiang Changsheng received a lot of attention, but he did not care. In any case, he did not belong to this era and would leave after the sermon ended.
As he walked along the long steps of the sea of clouds, Jiang Changsheng sensed many powerful auras along the way. There were even many existences that he could not see through.
“It seems like every time I travel to the past, the feeling is more real. Could it be related to the consumption of the karma points?”
Jiang Changsheng pondered silently. This time, it was as if he had personally come to the era of the ancient immortals.
As they moved forward, they passed through many majestic palaces and came to a huge cloud. Rings of clouds surrounded the sea of clouds, and there were prayer mats on each layer of clouds. There were already Dao seekers sitting there.
This was the dojo!
There was an independent layer of clouds in the north of the dojo that isolated the two sides of the sky. There was a golden lotus seat on it.
Jiang Changsheng followed Empress Xiaohe to a seat near the golden lotus seat and sat down. He sat beside Empress Xiaohe while the two fairies sat behind them.
“Fellow Daoist, may I ask how long has it been since we last met?”
Jiang Changsheng could not help but ask. His words also shocked the two fairies behind him. They were too curious about Jiang Changsheng.
Ever since they met Empress Xiaohe, they had never seen her smile at any man, especially if the man was not strong.
Empress Xiaohe looked ahead and said, “It has been 12 million years.” As soon as he said that, Jiang Changsheng was shocked, and the two fairies were even more stunned.
12 million years?
They subconsciously looked at Jiang Changsheng. Could it be that he had a powerful background?
Jiang Changsheng lamented, “It’s been so long.”
12 million years had passed for Empress Xiaohe, while only 2000 years had passed for him.
Jiang Changsheng was curious about what Empress Xiaohe had experienced over the years. However, it was not convenient for him to ask here.
“Fellow Daoist Changsheng! ”
A surprised voice sounded. Jiang Changsheng turned around and saw Shaohao flying over with a man. Compared to the last time they met, Shaohao no longer had the high-spiritedness of a young man. Instead, he looked more mature.
Shaohao and his companion came to Empress Xiaohe and bowed respectfully before coming to Jiang Changsheng’s side.
“I haven’t seen you for 3 million years. I miss you so much.”
Shaohao lamented. The man behind him had a sharp gaze as he sized up Jiang Changsheng.
“How about Fellow Daoist Xingtian? Is he here?”
Jiang Changsheng asked. The last time the three of them met seemed to have been yesterday. During that sermon, they got along very well.
“Hmph, why do you ask when you already know the answer?”
The man behind Shaohao snorted and his tone was very impolite.
“Shut up! Emperor Ku, you have no right to speak here!”
Shaohao coldly said. He glared at Emperor Ku, but the other party curled his lips and remained silent.
Shaohao looked at Jiang Changsheng again and said helplessly, “It seems like Fellow Daoist is unaware that Xingtian and my father were fighting for the position of Celestial Emperor. His head was chopped off and he is currently suppressed in the dust.”
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He had read about such myths and legends in his previous life, but he did not expect the myths and legends to be real.
“Let’s not talk about him. Fellow Daoist has disappeared for 3 million years. Where did you go?” Shaohao changed the topic and asked. Once again, an eager smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “I went to the void.”
“Void? That is beyond the heavens. Fellow Daoist is indeed not simple.”
Shaohao praised him. Even Emperor Ku, who was behind him, focused his gaze on him.
When old friends met, they naturally had a lot to say. However, this was a dojo and Empress Xiaohe was by his side. Shaohao did not dare to disturb them and bade farewell not long after.
Empress Xiaohe said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist to come back 3 million years ago. You didn’t come to see this old friend of yours.”
This was the first time the two fairies had heard their master use such a tone. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
“I have also asked Great Paragon Ksitigarbha about you.”
Jiang Changsheng answered helplessly. He could not say that he could only appear in dojos.
Even though Empress Xiaohe was looking straight ahead, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Even though it was a small arc, it made her side profile look as beautiful as a painting.
“Fellow Daoist, have you reached the Zenith Heaven Realm?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
He had heard the term “Zenith Heaven” many times in the previous sermons.
This was an extremely high dividing line in the realm of immortal cultivation.
Empress Xiaohe nodded and said, “The last time we met, I was already a Zenith Heaven.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and laughed. “I have made a fool out of myself. ”
“That’s not true. Even though it has been many years since we met, I can tell that you are not even 5000 years old. Fellow Daoist, your talent is indeed extraordinary.”
Empress Xiaohe turned to look at Jiang Changsheng with a smile.
The two fairies at the back were confused.
The two of them had met 12 million years ago. How was he not yet 5000 years old?
Jiang Changsheng and Empress Xiaohe continued to chat. Most of the time, he was the one asking questions while Empress Xiaohe answered. He did not forget why he came, so he focused on asking about the calamity.
“To make so many people go crazy and fall into the desire to kill, it must be a calamity. This is a calamity of the Heavenly Dao, and it cannot be stopped. If one can survive the calamity, they can obtain transcendence. The Zenith Heaven Realm is not something that can be achieved through cultivation. Most of them have to experience a calamity.”
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows at Empress Xiaohe’s answer.
Didn’t this mean that after he first met Empress Xiaohe, this Immortal Dao had experienced a calamity?
Jiang Changsheng looked at Empress Xiaohe and held back his concern. He continued to ask about the calamity. Empress Xiaohe told him everything she knew.
According to Empress Xiaohe, when people under the Heavenly Dao developed to a certain stage, a calamity would be born. Every calamity would carry out a cleansing of the boundless worlds. This cleansing would last for a long time.
When the calamity ended, less than ten percent of all beings would survive. Everyone that survived would obtain the grace of the Heavenly Dao and become the ruler of the next calamity.
After Jiang Changsheng heard that, he began to believe the Heaven and Earth Laughing Ancestor’s words. The Yin Yang God was only a product of the calamity and was not the mastermind. The real calamity was not just one person, but all beings.
As time passed, more and more Dao seekers arrived.
After all the Dao seekers gathered, the bell rang again, loud and solemn, causing the dojo to be silent.
Jiang Changsheng glanced at them. There were more than a hundred thousand listeners, and the closer they were to the front, the stronger their aura was.
As the bell rang one after another, a figure appeared on the golden lotus seat.
It was a Buddha that was tens of thousands of feet tall. His entire body was golden and he maintained his human form with a solemn expression. He had the might of the Absolute Beginning Buddha and his gaze swept across all the listeners. When his gaze swept across Jiang Changsheng, it caused the magic power in his body to stagnate. Fortunately, it was only for an instant.
“So powerful… Even a Zenith Heaven Immortal came to listen to his sermon.
What kind of attainment does he have?”
Jiang Changsheng was secretly shocked and became extremely interested in the cultivation of this giant Buddha.
“Amitabha. Everyone, listen to this poor monk’s Daoist rite. It is all due to Buddhism. After the Daoist rite, if you are interested, you can go to see the
Bodhi Buddha Sea.”
The ten thousand foot tall Buddha spoke with a dignified tone that resounded in everyone’s ears. Soon after, golden arms appeared behind him and slashed down to form a thousand-handed Buddha statue.
“He is the Future Buddha, one of the three great Buddhas of the West Heaven. His cultivation is extraordinary and he has experienced three calamities. You will benefit greatly from this sermon.” Empress Xiaohe’s voice entered Jiang Changsheng’s ears and introduced the other party to him.
Before Jiang Changsheng could think further, the sermon of the Future Buddha had already begun.
“This is about luck. What is luck? The combination of luck, karma, and fate is the will of the Heavenly Dao. Luck is divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital luck is determined by the heavens, while postnatal luck is given by all beings. The Immortal Dao is long and luck is indispensable for achieving the Zenith Heaven…”
The Dao of luck!
Jiang Changsheng did not expect that this sermon would be about luck. This was also a good thing. Perhaps the Dao of luck could help him increase his luck. In this way, he could create more worlds of luck and pave the way for the Immortal Dao.
As the Buddhist chant of the Future Buddha sounded, Jiang Changsheng soon entered a state of self-absorption.
The sermon continued, mixed with tens of thousands of chants.
Everyone had their own fate and karma, and luck could affect both.
Immortal cultivation was heaven-defying. Obtaining the luck of the Heavenly Dao was to rely on the laws of the Heavenly Dao to obtain a method to ascend to a higher realm.

Not only that, but luck could also be used to destroy enemies. Those with powerful luck could rely on the luck of the Heavenly Dao to suppress others. Without luck, the laws of the Heavenly Dao would regard them as anomalies and reject them.
Jiang Changsheng thought of his tribulation. He did not have the luck of the Martial Dao, so the Martial Dao had been relying on the heavenly tribulation to suppress him. However, he had endured it.
During the process of listening to the sermon, countless thoughts popped up in Jiang Changsheng’s mind.
The source of luck was the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao used luck to control all beings and maintain the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Could he also use luck to create a version of the Heavenly Dao that could help him control all beings in the Immortal Dao?
