Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1462 - 679: Demon Clan Ascension_2

Zhong Wuwang's eyes widened as he surveyed his surroundings, revealing a sense of panic. This place seems to be the West Bull New Continent!

His mind went blank.

The mountains and rivers here are almost identical to those of the West Bull New Continent. The only additional elements are the magnificent Great Dao Phenomena, and the dazzling Qianyang Holy Land.

The nature's spiritual energy here is also extremely rich, with immortal energy lingering everywhere, even in the Earth Immortal Realm, it is exceptional.

"Is this really the West Bull New Continent?"

While he was feeling anxious, a voice came: "Oh, it's Zhong Wuwang. I thought it was Brother Yang. Zhong Wuwang, why are you bald?"

Zhong Wuwang followed the voice and met Li Tianqing's disappointed gaze.

Zhong Wuwang slightly flinched and exclaimed: "Are you Li Tianqing? Is this really the West Bull New Continent?"

Li Tianqing, who never liked him, believed he only achieved his current accomplishments because he had Chen Shi's Innate Dao Embryo. He responded indifferently, "This is indeed the West Bull New Continent, but it is also the New Immortal Realm. Congratulations, you have ascended."

"New Immortal Realm? Ha ha!"

Zhong Wuwang let out a laugh, but there was no trace of joy on his face, muttering, "Wrong, something must be wrong. This can't be the West Bull New Continent, I must be dreaming! Yes, I've gone astray while cultivating the Sumeru Unmoving Ming King Body and entered an illusion! I must keep my Dao Heart unmoved, neither frightened nor joyous, to find my way out of this illusion!"

He sat down, resembling a monk in meditation.

Li Tianqing ignored him and continued to wait.

The next day, another rosy cloud flew out from the Jade Balance Gate. Li Tianqing's spirit lifted: "This time, it should be Brother Yang ascending, right?"

At this moment, Zhong Wuwang's voice came through: "Why am I still in an illusion?"

Li Tianqing replied impatiently, "This is not an illusion; it's the West Bull New Continent. I've already told you, you've ascended to the West Bull New Continent."

Zhong Wuwang erupted in anger: "I exhausted a lifetime of wisdom to escape the West Bull New Continent and enjoy freedom, why would I ascend back? Truly absurd! Besides, I've already ascended once, how can there be a reason for ascending twice?"

Li Tianqing explained, "The last time you ascended it was to the Earth Immortal Realm, you haven't ascended to the West Bull New Continent yet."

Zhong Wuwang went frantic: "This isn't ascension, it's a downgrade! What sense does it make to ascend and end up back here?"

Li Tianqing didn't bother responding to him.

Suddenly, Zhong Wuwang chuckled, "Ha ha, even if I've truly ascended to the West Bull New Continent, I can easily return to the Earth Immortal Realm. Ling Mountain Dao Realm, open—"

He shouted loudly, trying to summon his Dao Realm.

The sky subtly trembled, with clouds faintly opening and closing. Zhong Wuwang looked up, barely able to see the silhouette of his Dao Realm; the Ling Mountain Dao Realm was not manifesting in the skies of the West Bull New Continent.

"Ling Mountain Dao Realm, open!" Zhong Wuwang tried desperately to sense the Ling Mountain, calling out again.

The silhouetted Dao Realm in the sky appeared to grow clearer.

Zhong Wuwang heightened his senses to the extreme, yet the silhouette remained just that, failing to cross time and space to appear here.

"It's futile. Outside the West Bull New Continent lies the Dark Sea, which blocks sensing."

Li Tianqing's voice came, "Even I have difficulty sensing my Dao Realm in the Huayan Realm... someone has ascended!"

He looked towards the Jade Balance Gate, quite excited.

The next moment, a rosy cloud appeared at the Jade Balance Gate, and a graceful young man stepped out, eagerly looking around, muttering continuously: "Is this really the Earth Immortal Realm? Even the air is sweet! Wow, the spiritual energy is so abundant! Two seniors, I am Xiao Qiushui, a newly ascended Little Immortal from the Lianxin Realm, greetings to you both!"

Li Tianqing, slightly disappointed that this person wasn't Yang Bi, inquired, "Daoist Xiao, do you come from the Xuanhuang Sea? Are your ancestors perhaps from the West Bull New Continent?"

Xiao Qiushui smiled broadly, yet his eyes displayed confusion: "Where is the West Bull New Continent?"

Li Tianqing refrained from further questioning, saying, "This place is a newly established Immortal Realm, currently in need of people. As a newly ascended Immortal, you should go to the Court for registration and record your name."

"Newly established Immortal Realm?"

Xiao Qiushui was both startled and delighted, having heard that the Earth Immortal Realm was overcrowded, making it difficult to gain a foothold, but unexpectedly, he ascended to the New Immortal Realm!

"It's a time for expanding territories, building achievements, isn't it?"

With ambitious aspirations, he immediately followed Li Tianqing's advice and headed to Xinxiang Imperial City to find Hu Feifei for registration.

Hu Feifei felt confused, uncertain about how to arrange for this Immortal.

"Should we form a Heavenly Soldier Camp?"

Chen Tang suggested, "I heard from the True King that he was a Heavenly Soldier in the Earth Immortal Realm. Why not start by establishing a Heavenly Soldier Camp."

Hu Feifei said, "A Heavenly Soldier Camp is possible, but it can't consist of only one Soldier, can it?"

Chen Tang laughed, "With the Jade Balance Gate, we'll surely have more Heavenly Soldiers ascending. Besides, we aren't talking about just one Heavenly Soldier, haven't Zhong Wuwang and Li Tianqing ascended? And we have several Immortals from the West Bull New Continent who can join the Heavenly Soldier Camp too."

The West Bull New Continent already had over ten Immortals, including Li Tianqing and others, as well as Chen Shi's four disciples like Dragon Traveling Wanderer, Little Dun Fairy, Qiao Zhuo, Chen Tang, Scholar Zhu, Daoist Liu, Wen Wuyu, and others. They all achieved Harmonization in the West Bull New Continent, and upon Harmonization, the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was destroyed, preventing their ascension.

Thus, the Heavenly Soldier Camp of the West Bull New Continent was established, with Li Tianqing appointed as the Great Marshal, though his troops were few, they called him Little King Li.

Zhong Wuwang repeatedly tried to summon his Dao Realm, but failed continuously, finally yielding to fate, and earnestly becoming a Heavenly Soldier.

The Heavenly Soldiers had nothing to do, practicing Daoist Divine Powers and researching Great Dao Phenomena on a daily basis. Zhong Wuwang eventually returned to Despair Slope, which was now vacant, even Wen Wuyu had not settled there anymore and had moved out.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Soldier Camp, every day saw an Immortal ascend to the West Bull New Continent, joining the Heavenly Soldier Camp, and gradually increasing its manpower.

Hu Feifei passed down the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture and Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture taught by Chen Shi to everyone, allowing them to learn on their own. Qianyang Mountain held numerous Earth Treasure Spirit Roots for alchemy and was itself an Immortal Holy Land; their cultivation here progressed rapidly.

However, Yang Bi had yet to ascend to the West Bull New Continent, leaving Li Tianqing rather disappointed.

On this day, another Immortal ascended from the Jade Balance Gate, a young Immortal, with a disturbing aura surrounding him.

Everyone was astonished, asking where this Immortal came from, but the language he spoke was unknown to them.

"He is a cultivator from the Dark Sea!"

True Master Zhang arrived upon hearing the news, observing the young Immortal closely, "This Jade Balance Gate has drawn cultivators from the Dark Sea over!"

Li Tianqing asked, "Are there cultivators in the Dark Sea?"

True Master Zhang nodded and said, "Of course. Back when Great Ming sent Sanbao eunuch across the Dark Sea searching for other worlds, they discovered the West Bull New Continent, which then had life. But even before that, there were pioneers who left the Divine Continent, venturing into the darkness to find new worlds. They also brought Daoist Divine Powers with them. However, this Dark Sea Immortal practices a Dao not rooted from the Divine Continent."

The young Immortal looked at them nervously, unaware of how he ascended here, nor knowing who these people were.

"He's practicing an Outer Dao!"

True Master Zhang remarked, "He's part of the legendary Overseas Demon Clan."

Everyone was shocked to hear "Demon Clan."

"Demon Clan is not uncommon."

Zhong Wuwang said, "The Western Heaven hosts many Demon Clan members, including the Heavenly Beings like Asura and Qian Dapo from the Other Transformation Heaven. After the Earth Immortal Realm was established, the Buddha of Western Heaven expanded into the Dark Sea, discovering many worlds inhabited by Demon Clans and integrating them into the Western Heaven."

Li Tianqing asked, "But what confuses me is why would a Demon Clan cultivator ascend to the West Bull New Continent? Does the Heavenly Court's Jade Balance Gate allow Demon Clan cultivators to ascend to the Heavenly Court?"

True Master Zhang shook his head, "No."

Wen Wuyu questioned, "Master Zhang, then why does our West Bull New Continent's Jade Balance Gate allow Demon Clan cultivators to ascend?"

True Master Zhang looked at the Jade Balance Gate in the sky, unable to answer this question.

"Why does the Heavenly Dao Treasure crafted by Chen Zhenwang manage to bring Demon Clan members ascended? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao includes the Demon Path?"

He hesitated, realizing the thought was somewhat radical and rebellious.

How could the Heavenly Dao possibly encompass the Demon Path?

How should the ascended Demon Clan Immortal be handled?

"Since it's under the Heavenly Dao, then it's a Heavenly Dao Immortal, let him stay."

Li Tianqing decided, "Our Heavenly Soldier Camp should expand with another battalion, an Outer Dao Camp."
