Chapter 672 The Attack of the Celestial Venerable, The Peak of the Great Dao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Zenith Heaven Immortals of the Dao Sect chatted with Daoist Heaven Peak. The attitude of the Zenith Heaven Immortal of the Dao Sect was even more enthusiastic than before, making Daoist Heaven Peak feel flattered.
Even though they were all Zenith Heaven Immortals, the number of Zenith Heaven Immortals had now exceeded 500. If there were too many of them, they would form different ranks. The Dao Sect was the number one sect, so the Zenith Heaven Immortals in the Dao Sect were naturally people with weaker influence like Daoist Heaven Peak had to look up to.
Soon after, the forces of the Buddhist Sect also came.
It seemed like the Zenith Heaven Sects had already agreed on the sequence, followed by the Heavenly Court, the Jiang Clan, and so on.
As time passed, noises could be heard from all directions at Heaven Peak. More and more believers came to listen to the sermon, and the order was about to be unstable.
The Dao Ancestor only said that he would preach the Dao 3000 years later. He did not explain the exact time. The Dao seekers were afraid of missing it. Therefore, when they saw the arrival of the mighty figures, they squeezed forward one after another, hoping to be as close as possible to the Dao Ancestor.
Ultimately, the Celestial Emperor had no choice but to let the immortals take the lead.
Empress Xiaohe walked among the mountains with the five female immortals. Looking at the towering peak in the distance, the female immortals revealed expectant and excited expressions.
“Master, can we really go up the mountain? Will it be inappropriate?” The youngest-looking female immortal nervously asked.
Empress Xiaohe was in the Zenith Heaven Realm, so she could naturally go to the Heaven Peak. However, they were different. Even if she were in the Zenith Heaven Realm, could she bring five disciples at once?
Saint Mother Qingqiu chuckled and said, “There’s no need to think too much. Master will only bring two of us with her. The remaining three will follow me and sit behind the Saint Mother of Fortune.”
The female immortals were suddenly enlightened. It turned out that they had borrowed the Saint Mother of Fortune’s light.
They had long known that the Saint Mother of Fortune had a good relationship with their master. This was also something everyone in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm knew.
The twelve Saint Mothers under the Saint Mother of Fortune had also grown up, and half of them had reached the Zenith Heaven Realm. Among them, Saint Mother Qingqiu was also about to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm. Coupled with the fact that she was someone by the Dao Ancestor’s side, how many people would complain about her? Who would dare to say anything?
Along the way, many cultivators raised their hands and bowed when they saw Empress Xiaohe.
As one of the ancient Zenith Heaven Immortals, Empress Xiaohe’s status was very high. It was mainly because there were many voices questioning Empress Xiaohe before, but they soon disappeared. After all, she had the Saint Mother of Fortune behind her.
Days passed and more and more Zenith Heaven Immortals arrived at Heaven Peak. Even after all the Zenith Heaven Immortals had arrived, the Dao Ancestor had yet to descend. However, the Zenith Heaven Immortals were not anxious about this. Instead, they chatted with their old friends with interest.
In fact, they all knew that the Dao Ancestor was not deliberately leaving them hanging. Instead, he was giving all beings a chance. After all, there was still an endless stream of Dao seekers coming from all directions.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and stood up to stretch his muscles. He looked at Mu Lingluo and asked, “Are you going?”
Mu Lingluo shook her head and said, “I won’t be going. This lecture will definitely be aimed at all beings, and it will not have much effect on the Zenith Heaven Immortals. Coincidentally, I have had my own enlightenment recently.”
Jiang Changsheng nodded and did not force her.
He realized that Mu Lingluo was becoming less and less fond of appearing in public. She was immersed in her own comprehension all day long, and he understood her thoughts.
She did not only want to be the Dao Ancestor’s Dao companion, but she also wanted to become powerful and become the Dao Ancestor’s helper. Therefore, she was unwilling to enjoy those false reputations and only wanted to cultivate.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. There were too many living beings who had gone to listen to his sermon. If this continued, they would probably have to wait another thousand years. There might even be more living beings coming.
With a thought, Jiang Changsheng disappeared from the hall with the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin.
Soon after.
The Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin appeared at Heaven Peak. All the Zenith Heaven Immortals looked over, but the disciples they brought with them reacted slower.
“Greetings, Dao Ancestor!”
The Zenith Heaven Immortals answered in unison, causing the juniors to bow.
Their voices were so loud that countless beings at the foot of the mountain heard them. When they heard that the Dao Ancestor had arrived, everyone quickly found a place to sit down and prepared to listen.
This time, cultivators of Zhou Gua were also here, including Divine Lord Zhou Gua. However, he kept a low profile and hid in a forest, so no one knew.
Jiang Yi sat by a small river with Jin Miaoyi. Jin Miaoyi did not know that Jiang Yi was a Zenith Heaven Immortal, and she was afraid that she would encounter people from Zhou Gua. Therefore, the two of them were far away from Heaven Peak. Both parties’ decisions were satisfactory to each other.
“How imposing. Only the Dao Ancestor has such appeal.” Jin Miaoyi sighed.
In Zhou Gua, there was no such grand event as a sermon. Inheritance relied on connections and talent. It could even be said that talent determined everything.
Jin Miaoyi honestly admired the Dao Ancestor. How magnanimous was the lord of an orthodoxy to impart his Great Dao to all beings?
The Dao Ancestor did not seem to be afraid of being surpassed or betrayed.
Jiang Yi smiled and said, “Of course. There is only one Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Dao. It was so in the past and it will be so in the future.”
His heart was filled with pride. That was his grandfather.
However, since he was born, the Dao Ancestor had been a legend of the Immortal Dao. Therefore, he was not excited and felt that everything was reasonable.
Just as the couple was discussing the influence of the Dao Ancestor, his voice sounded.
“Prepare to hear the Dao. All beings should sit down, and so should those who are coming.”
These words contained unimaginable will of the Great Dao, causing everyone to subconsciously sit down, and their restless hearts also calmed down.
It was the same for those beings who were still on their way. Jiang Changsheng allowed the people who were still on their way to listen to the Dao along the way. His cultivation was so high that coupled with the fact that he could hear their hearts, he could naturally care for everyone who wanted to listen to his sermon and take action.
Jiang Changsheng did not give the public much time to prepare. He directly began to preach the Dao, starting from the beginning of cultivation.
Anyone who began to listen would be enveloped by the light of the dao to avoid being attacked during the sermon.
The Zenith Heaven Immortals were not surprised that the Dao Ancestor would start from the lower realms. They also began to listen attentively.
In the depths of the void, a red gourd was moving forward. On it sat two figures, one in front of the other. The former was riding the red gourd while the latter had his eyes closed.
They were two immortal cultivators, both men. They had ordinary appearances and extraordinary temperament.
The purple-robed Daoist sitting at the back slowly opened his eyes and sighed. “The Dao Ancestor began to preach the Dao. Unfortunately, we missed it.”
The gray-robed Daoist in front of him said without turning his head, “The Mental Wander Realm has covered this place?”
The purple-robed Daoist smiled and said, “That’s right. We have been away from the Immortal Dao for eight thousand years, and if we want to go back, we still have to figure our way back. However, we can still enter the Mental Wander Realm. It’s hard to imagine how deep the Dharmic powers of the Dao Ancestor are.”
Not everyone could enter the Mental Wander Realm. The seniors who explored the boundless world at an earlier time had said that it was difficult to enter the Mental Wander Realm once they left the range of the immortal Dao.
After so many years, the range of entry into the Mental Wander Realm had become wider and wider. The two Immortal Emperors had traveled for eight thousand years, but they could still enter the Mental Wander Realm.
They could not help but wonder if they could escape from the Dao Ancestor after flying for eight thousand years.
However, this was the Dao Ancestor in their hearts. He was boundless and omnipotent.
“How long do we have to travel?” The purple-robed Daoist asked.
The gray-robed Daoist answered, “I’m not sure, but I can sense that its guidance is getting closer and closer.”
They were here to search for treasures in the boundless world. They had exchanged for a rare treasure in the hands of a Zhou Gua cultivator, and it was this rare treasure that led them to the void.
Exploring opportunities in the boundless world was the pursuit of many immortal cultivators. Most of them were people who could not break through.
The purple-robed Daoist frowned.
It was the same answer again. He even suspected the other party was lying to him.
After all, the rare treasure was in the other party’s hands. However, when he thought about their friendship, they had known each other for more than two million years. Moreover, they had met when they were young. However, they were separated soon after.
The purple-robed Daoist tried his best not to think too much about it. However, cultivators only believed in themselves and not their lives.
For a moment, the atmosphere was gloomy.
After a while.
A strong light appeared at the end of the void. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the red gourd and stepped on the tip of the gourd.
Boom!
The red gourd suddenly stopped, startling the two of them. They immediately stood up and took out their magical treasures.
They looked over and saw a man in red-patterned silver armor stopping the red gourd. He had a tall and sturdy figure and his azure hair fluttered wantonly. He had a handsome face with perfect facial features and a cold aura between his brows.
He stepped on the red gourd with one foot and his posture was domineering. Behind him, three wisps of flames of different colors twisted, similar to an evil spirit baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. An indescribable pressure attacked the two Daoists.
The gray-robed Daoist asked in a deep voice, “What are your intentions?”
“I am the Celestial Venerable. Are you cultivators of the Immortal Dao?”
The silver-armored man asked indifferently, his tone unquestionable.
When the two of them heard that, their hearts sank. After all, they were far away from the Immortal Dao. They were not sure if the reputation of the Immortal Dao was still useful.
They did not answer immediately. Instead, their minds were like lightning as they quickly weighed the pros and cons.
“Tell me the direction of the Immortal Dao. I am not targeting the Immortal Dao, nor will I kill you.” The Celestial Venerable’s words allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
The other party’s aura was so powerful that if he had any ill intentions, there was no need to ask. He could just forcefully suppress the,.
The gray-robed Daoist pondered and said, “It’s just behind us. We have never changed our direction along the way.”
Hearing that, the Celestial Venerable immediately disappeared, and the red gourd continued on its way.
The two Daoists turned around, but they could no longer see the Celestial Venerable.
They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other’s eyes.
“We can’t be careless. If we continue forward, I reckon we will encounter another expert like him.” The gray-robed Daoist sighed.
The aura of the Celestial Venerable made them mistakenly think that there were experts like him in front of them.
The purple-robed Daoist nodded. He wanted to say more.
A voice sounded. “Oh right, since you are willing to point the way, I will give you a pointer. The thing in your hands is not a good thing.”
The voice of the Celestial Venerable!
The two Daoists trembled in fright and looked around. They could not find the Celestial Venerable.
They immediately controlled the red gourd to leave, but as they left, they could not help but think about what the Celestial Venerable had said.
Not a good thing?

What did that mean?
On the other side.
The Celestial Venerable moved forward quickly, and the void reversed in his eyes. Dazzling turbulence appeared in all directions, and his gaze was fixed on the front while his eyes were filled with passion.
“Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao, don’t disappoint me. As long as I defeat you and two more peak Eternal Gods, I will step into the peak of the Great Dao!”
The Celestial Venerable muttered to himself. He seemed to have thought of the scene of his fight with the Dao Ancestor, and the smile on his face became hideous.
