aw a shooting star crossing the sky and unexpectedly received a ray of otherworldly spiritual light. From this spiritual light, he comprehended the fundamental classic of Taoism, the Daodejing. After...Having been passed down for millions of years, the Louguan Dao, once the source of Taoism in this realm, was now a sea of fire. Bolts of lightning raged, shattering the ancient pavilions on Mount Zhongnan.
Even with the longest lineage, after millions of years weathering storms and sunshine, there will be rises and falls.
Now only a handful of Taoist masters practice in seclusion at Louguan Dao. There are less than ten people in the entire sect, and it has long since declined. Today, it was completely wiped out.
Two blood lights shot up from the ancestral land of Luoguandao...
One of the two figures shrouded in blood-red light, revealed only a pair of sinister triangular eyes. His whole body emanated an ominous demonic aura, hardly resembling a benevolent being. Gritting his teeth, he carefully pulled out a golden talisman from his bosom. The runes on it were ancient and obscure, with spiritual energy condensing within them.
“Now is not the time to hesitate!” someone shouted from within another blood-red light.
"Easy for you to say, this is my 300 Taoist virtues exchanged Golden Light Escaping Rune... I spent all the merit I was going to use to refine my natal magic treasure." Although he said so, the man decisively crushed the golden talisman. In an instant, a golden light shot up, carrying the two of them into the void and disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, several figures hurried to the top of Louguandao. One of them was an old man with white hair and long eyebrows, whose five wisps of beard swayed in front of his chest. Looking at the ruins of Louguandao, he roared angrily.

"You dare, you thief!"
With a wave of his robe, the old man summoned countless auspicious clouds that surged upward. With just a press, he extinguished the raging demonic flames below.
The azure celebratory clouds churned and rolled, carrying an infinite might. Balls of lightning capable of destroying mountains and cities and inextinguishable Nine Nether demonic flames were instantly extinguished upon contact with the celebratory clouds, not even making a sound.
That auspicious qi, which was originally peaceful and harmonious, now churned and roiled like a storm cloud, clearly revealing the old man's fury.
Another middle-aged Taoist also had a solemn expression, addressing those on his left and right: "Louguandao is one of the three major sects of Taishang Dao. It was founded by Daozu himself, who personally taught the teachings. Its status is extraordinary. Today, these two demons, despite their low cultivation level, dared to act outrageously and exterminate Louguandao. They were able to escape using ancient true talismans. This matter is very strange."
“Let me use the Taiyi Six Lines Divination to calculate the whereabouts of these two scoundrels, and I will surely dig out the mastermind behind this!”

“We, under the guidance of the Supreme Daoist Tradition, must work together with one heart and one mind. Even if we have to punch a hole in the heavens, we will avenge this!”
A multitude of primordial gods and true immortals were enraged, nodding in agreement. Even if the mastermind behind this was the two top figures of the demonic path—Blood Dao and Nine Nether Sect, they would make them pay blood for blood!
Having said that, the middle-aged Taoist priest pinched his fingers to cast a divination spell. His right hand burst forth with countless complex finger techniques, causing a dizzying array of shadows to appear before finally opening wide like it was bearing something, and then lifting upwards.
"Boom~"
Countless spiritual lights emerged...

This middle-aged Daoist was already the grandmaster of celestial arts in this world. He should have been able to calculate with ease, leaving no trace, appearing effortless and natural. But today, after hearing about Lou Guandao's annihilation, he became enraged and couldn't contain himself any longer. He unleashed his full power, causing the earth's energy within a thousand miles to churn and the Dao to manifest itself.
All the primordial gods and immortals were reflected in this glimmer of light. Looking through the radiance, their expressions became hazy, and their powerful auras swept across all directions. Millions of miles away, in a place with an aura as deep as an abyss, an eight-armed demon god materialized out of thin air, roaring at the sky, wanting to share the glory of this aura. On top of Mount Xizhi (Westmost Spirit Mountain), countless temples stood tall. When the overwhelming pressure swept over, on the summit of the mountain, a golden lotus bloomed, encompassing Sumeru, gently deflecting the pressure outside, protecting the pure land of the West.
A Taiji diagram appeared, encasing the eight-armed demon god and smashing it into the Nine Netherworld. It then attempted to forcefully break through the golden lotus.
On the summit of Ling Mountain, within a small temple capable of holding only one person, a long sigh echoed: “Fellow cultivators of the Taishang Dao, this matter has nothing to do with my Buddhist sect.” He then voluntarily released his golden lotus, allowing the Taiji diagram to examine his aura.
The southern barbarous mountains...
The Three Immortals' Islands of the East China Sea...
The imperial aura of the Middle-earth dynasty...
Countless strange phenomena appeared from all directions, all faintly resisting this overwhelming aura. At this time, a white jade Ruyi appeared on Kunlun Mountain, and a fairy sword rose above the overseas islands. Together with the Taiji diagram formed by the joint efforts of Taishang Dao and his numerous primordial gods and true immortals, they pressed down on all the strange phenomena from all directions...
The three meridians of Qi flow high and low, like overlooking all beings in this world.
A multitude of primordial deities and immortals exuded an awe-inspiring aura. Utilizing this power, they meticulously searched the heavens and earth for traces of Qi, transforming it into the celestial veins' patterns that became apparent.

That boundless spiritual light gradually converged, finally transforming into the eight trigrams, interconnecting and giving birth to countless golden lines. A multitude of primordial gods and immortals eagerly absorbed the golden lines, calculating the future grand divination celestial mechanism. The Supreme Dao's display this time was so ostentatious, even summoning the Primordial Origin Dao and Lingbao Dao's primordial god true immortals. Not only were they going to capture the culprit, but also seize the opportunity to divine the celestial mechanisms of the next five hundred years.
"Signs of a great tribulation are approaching! Could the annihilation of the Louguan Dao, a lineage spanning millions of years, be a harbinger of the coming calamity"
>“Within five hundred years, there are signs of a great tribulation approaching, but the tribulation is cruel and rampant. A tribulation lasting for thousands of years is just a small matter. It comes slowly and goes fiercely. Even with some signs, it may not be able to trigger a tribulation within thousands of years. Moreover, every four hundred and ninety years, there is a small tribulation of forty-nine, and every thousand years, there is a great tribulation of immortals. This may not be a sign of the tribulation, perhaps it is just a small tribulation of forty-nine or a great tribulation of immortals…”

When the myriad divine immortals were discussing, a middle-aged Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, seeming somewhat surprised and uncertain.
"How is that possible I couldn't have calculated the karmic consequences of these two thieves."
“As if not within this realm, not within the Heavenly Mechanisms.” The middle-aged Taoist said gravely, “The Louguandao extermination affair also caused chaos in the Heavenly Mechanisms. It seems that a powerful figure is obscuring causality.”
> But this power to veil Heaven's secrets lasts only for one hour.
In an ordinary dwelling in Guangling City, two assailants looked at the terrifying aura that swept across the land. They were both terrified and surprised. One of them, a black-robed Taoist priest, said to the other, whose face was menacing with triangular eyes: “Miaokong, didn’t you say that Louguandao has fallen The highest cultivator in the entire sect is only a Jindan monk, and even an accomplished Dao practitioner can easily be taken down”
“The result actually attracted so many diverse deities and immortals, this aura is so strong, it's probably more than all the primordial spirits in our world combined!”
"Divine Master Tongshen, what are you afraid of Haven't we already taken down Lou Guandao Even with Yuan Shen True Immortal's vast divine abilities, could he possibly calculate the karma shielded by the Lord of Reincarnation The Lord of Reincarnation is an immensely powerful being who sent us to this realm to complete our mission. They have long since suppressed all our karma. Not even a celestial Daoist like Tianxian can figure it out..."
Although Triangulay's mind was filled with regret, he still gritted his teeth and said.
"I don't care about those things, you promised me things, don't forget." The Divine Master recalled the might of the Lord of Reincarnation and slightly calmed his mind.
Moreover, your own karmic retribution is being suppressed by the Reincarnation Lord. But what you stole from Lou Guan Dao remains with you. In an hour's time, the mission will be complete. The Reincarnation Lord's obscured Heavenly Secrets will gradually become clear. Fear that in the next instant, a Yuanshen Immortal will come to take your life. At that time, under the power of the Yuanshen Immortal, even if you wanted to die, you wouldn't be able to.
“I advise you, it's best to get rid of that thing as soon as possible. Prioritize your life!”
"Damn it..." Miaokong felt a surge of impotent rage: "How could the annihilation of Lou Guandao cause such a stir The thing I prepared to suppress Tianji would be nothing more than scrap paper in front of so many powerful gods and immortals. I originally thought that Lou Guandao had long since declined, even though my ancestors were once wealthy, but now the Sect Master only has the cultivation base of forming alchemy. If they had such a strong backing, why would they be in this state!"
“Therefore, whatever was originally prepared to conceal the divine soul's calculations is now far too inadequate.”

“Even if I could think of Lou Guan Dao as a hornet's nest, able to stir up so many divine beings, I couldn't find anything that could block such a master's divination of heavenly secrets.”
"This thing is a hot potato now!" Miaokong touched the beads in his arms and thought to himself.
The Divine Master still sneered there, "I wonder what kind of treasure it is, worth you spending so much money. You've risked your entire fortune and probably lost everything. Now that all your efforts have gone to waste, you must be heartbroken!"
"What is this!" Miaokong smiled inwardly, "This isn't just something. This is one of the Three Treasures of Taishang. If not for me having flipped through an ancient scroll in my early years, it didn't record any useful methods, but it did write a legend about the rise of Louguandao during that time. It mentioned that Louguandao was already declining in this era, and it wasn't until five hundred years later that the founding ancestor enlightened from the treasure of Louguandao's lineage - Taishang Daochenzhu, realizing the long-lost True Transmission of Taishang. He achieved his Yuanshen and even, during the Great Calamity, he rapidly attained the position of Daojun, greatly reviving Louguandao."
"During my last mission, I was unexpectedly transported to this era."
“I toiled and struggled, foregoing the mission rewards, and remaining here with the opportunity to return. Afterward, I spent my entire fortune, meticulously planning everything, until finally I destroyed the Louguan Dao family and schemed for this treasure.”
"And..." Miao Kong's heart burned with passion: "If the clues I found later are correct, the Daochen Pearl has a shocking origin... Legend has it that before Taishang Daozu became enlightened, he was just a shepherd boy from the countryside. One day, while herding cattle on the mountain, he saw a shooting star crossing the sky and unexpectedly received a ray of otherworldly spiritual light. From this spiritual light, he comprehended the fundamental classic of Taoism, the Daodejing. After enduring countless calamities, he achieved enlightenment and established the Dao sect, elevating two other Daoist masters."
After attaining immortality, that wisp of spiritual light had long since become insignificant to him. To commemorate his path to enlightenment, the Supreme Being, during his ascension, severed the spiritual light and transformed it into a spirit orb. This represents one of the three most treasured items in the lineage of the Supreme Being's teachings: the Supreme Being's Dust Pearl. Possessing this pearl allows for a significant increase in comprehension and understanding of the ultimate Dao mysteries.
"It is a treasure passed down from the Taoist lineage of Lou Guan Dao. It's a symbol of the true transmission of teachings by the supreme deity, Taishang. If I were to obtain this pearl, my primordial spirit would have an easy path, and becoming a Daojun wouldn't be impossible!"
Miao Kong's heart trembled. He absolutely couldn't give up this opportunity, and besides, he had invested too much in it. He even resorted to underhanded tactics against several powerful figures he couldn't afford to offend. If he lost this chance to obtain the pearl, he would still be dead, just a little later. The end result wouldn't be any less gruesome.
Miao Kong's heart was filled with a thousand anxieties, and seeing that there was really no other way, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a comatose youth from behind the house.
The boy was probably around fourteen or fifteen years old. He was handsome and well-proportioned, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes. At first glance, one could tell he came from a wealthy family.
Seeing Miekong's actions, the divine old Taoist hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Are you crazy! This is our mission target."
Miao Kong ignored him completely. A flash of cruelty crossed his face as he countered by sending a streak of light into the young man's body. The old Taoist, Tong Shen, looked at him with a strange expression and asked, "You would be so kind as to give him something"
“Are you still thinking about hiding it on him, waiting for a chance to retrieve it in the future” The Divine Spirit Taoist scoffed: “Don’t forget, once an hour passes, the true immortals of this realm will be able to calculate the whereabouts of the treasure you took. This young man has a clean background, and perhaps nothing will happen to him. He might even be favored by the True Person of Taishang Dao, taken back to be carefully taught, and accepted as a disciple.”
"But the treasures on him will surely be taken by the Supreme Dao."
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Before the words of the divine old Taoist could even fade away, a look of mockery appeared on Miaokong's face as he took out a jade talisman.
"Revolving Sutra... Wonderful Emptiness, you truly spared no expense, actually giving up the Revolving Sutra which can lead people into the realms of reincarnation. This thing is extremely difficult to obtain even in all the heavens and realms of reincarnation, yet you used it on someone insignificant."
Miao Kong sneered, "Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, all karmic consequences are erased."
“I used a secret technique to merge this young boy and the spirit orb into one, becoming the reincarnation master. After that, his karma was completely erased, and all past causes could not be calculated. This spirit orb became part of him, and naturally, it couldn't be calculated either. It's like an exquisitely crafted package for my treasure. When the time is ripe... I’ll just tear open the package, and the prize will be mine!”
“You bestowed upon him the Wheel Turning Induction, making him your guide. Everything else is insignificant; a guide possesses one power: they can accompany the person they guide through reincarnation in three worlds.” The Divine Hermit exclaimed, “Wonderful! But to perform such feats before me, are you not afraid I'll take the lead”
“Time is running out, and no matter what I do, I can't hide it from you. Besides, when you helped me, didn't you already swear before the Lord of Reincarnation that you wouldn't use any means to seize this object”
The Divine Path Taoist muttered, "If I hadn't made a vow, I would have already taken action! And you cunning villain will surely remain distrustful. In the future, I still have to be careful of you making a move against me."
The Immortal Daoist said nonchalantly, "After becoming a Revolving Wheel Cultivator, one will have to face an examination mission three days later. If this kid dies in some world, you won't even have time to cry."
"I can find his trial world and then figure out a way to get in."
Miao Kong's face turned pale, he took out a Universe Pouch from his bosom. His expression gradually became sinister: "Put the talismans in, these artifacts are things this old man risked his life for… Forget it! Compared to the treasure, these are nothing, there are also life-saving pills... This old man's remaining fortune is yours. I can't give you these Daoist scriptures. If you truly have great fortune and fate... Stealing this old man's opportunity, how will you manage with your rapidly advancing cultivation"
However, these killing arts you can keep.
Miao Kong filled a bag to the brim with treasures and, looking at the young man's unconscious face, grinned wickedly: "You better come back alive... And, just in case..."
Miokong forced out a drop of essence blood, which transformed into a handful of five-colored silk crimson. On the brilliant silk crimson, various vicious curses were entwined.
This is a test.
"Secret Demonic Curse of the Three Lives Imprisonment." The Taoist priest muttered, aghast. "To deal with a completely powerless mortal, is this really necessary"
Mio Kong forcefully instilled the restriction into the young boy's body and snarled, "Better safe than sorry. This kid seems to have some good fortune about him, just sitting at home while treasures fall from the sky. Who knows what kind of trouble he might bring To prevent myself from becoming a 'treasure-bringing parent,' I must give him a taste of my power."
An hour later, Miaokong and Tongming Lao Dao confirmed something in their divine consciousness. The Yuan Shen Zhenjun who had searched every corner of Mount Zhongnan instantly calculated the cause and effect of the Lou Guan Dao inheritance treasure through his calculations and arrived in Guangling City with a flash of light. By this time, Miaokong and Tongshen Lao Dao were already miles away in the desolate mountains and forests.
They waited for three moments, their figures vanishing instantly and departing from this world.
Outside the city of Guangling, in a small county under its jurisdiction, a young man slept for half the day before slowly waking up from a mansion. He let out a long sigh and said: "In the realm of reincarnation among the heavens, the Lord of Reincarnation... I have finally reincarnated as a human! Alas, I, a mighty transmigrator, actually gave a native a cheat code and became a sleeping old master..."
"This body is also a treasure, treated as packaging for a sealed artifact and even subjected to restrictions."
"When the reincarnation fused me with him, something went wrong with the secret technique. His true spirit was replaced by mine, and as a result, this vicious curse also became mine. That's when I woke up. The two thugs were beside me, but I could only sink my spirit into the spirit pearl and didn't dare to move. They should have left by now!"
Qian Chen touched his belly and felt like he hadn't eaten a single bite all day.
He endured the pain, knowing he couldn't eat yet. After examining the original owner's incomplete spirit within his sea of consciousness, Qian Chen frowned secretly. Aside from common sense, all other memories were damaged.
“Before I left, to prevent me from contacting my family, they destroyed all the memories of this body. They even made me forget who I am! If it weren't for my soul not originating from this body, but just this act, it would have meant my future path to enlightenment would be hopeless. Truly wicked.”
