...

The defense network of the Immortal Mansion of Gui Xu completely shattered, trapping Ling Wenxuan firmly in the purple-gold pillar of Qi from Tian Duzi. The golden light of the Heaven Inquiry Profound Armor was faded to the dimness of candlelight.

Yi Xuan Venerable and others were covered in wounds, and watching their fellow sect members fall continuously beside them, finally revealed a look of despair in their eyes.

"The descendants are unfilial!"

"We must ask the Ancestor to descend!"

Yi Xuan Venerable suddenly roared hoarsely, showing a desolate gaze as his hands performed the spell of Bu Tian Dao’s highest secret, with golden Essence Blood seeping from his fingertips, dripping onto the sect’s immortal artifact before him.

The other four major sects’ Venerables, seeing this, gritted their teeth and each took out the sect’s legacy artifact, pouring their lifetime cultivation and remaining fortune into them.

Five supreme treasures formed a dazzling Five Star Grand Array in the air.

From the hub of the array emerged a simple phantom of a Heaven Gate, and behind it, celestial sounds faintly echoed, yet with an oppressive fear.

"Not good! They want to summon an immortal incarnation to descend!"

Blood Venerable’s face suddenly changed, and he turned to flee.

Tian Duzi, however, stared firmly at that Heaven Gate, the Purple Gold Daoist Robe fluttered without wind, and the Eight Suffering Qi Columns swirled into a closed loop around him:

"So what if it’s an immortal? Today I will try with a mortal body against immortal bones, defying and slaughtering an immortal!"

Ever since his secret technique reached perfection, his power soared, becoming invincible and gathering a fortune in his realm, he was long capable of ascension.

He just feared being targeted upon ascension, so he delayed.

But with his current combat power, he no longer regarded ordinary immortals.

...

The Heaven Gate slowly opened, and a figure in a golden robe emerged flying, surrounded by billions of runes, each representing a strand of fortune from Bu Tian Dao.

As soon as he appeared, the space of the Immortal Mansion of Gui Xu distorted severely, even the seawater surged upwards, forming rain across the sky then instantly freezing.

The person was the Mu Ye Celestial Immortal of Bu Tian Dao, who glanced down upon the chaotic battlefield below, his gaze fell on Yi Xuan Venerable and others, suddenly bursting with a bone-chilling coldness.

Mu Ye Celestial Immortal’s voice erupted like thunder, causing all cultivators’ eardrums to bleed:

"Waste! A bunch of waste!"

"You have caused the situation to deteriorate to such an extent that it requires me to personally handle the mess!"

He, as a Celestial Immortal, descending with an incarnation, consumed enough fortune to spawn two fortune children, even surpassed!

The runes around him flickered violently, obviously heartache to the extreme—this descent was a huge loss!

However, to completely consolidate the sect’s position in this realm, for the continued harvesting of fortune, the ancestor gritted his teeth, acknowledging this loss-making deal!

Tian Duzi grasped the Eight Suffering Wheel Flag tightly, its surface’s purple-gold flames dancing wildly, yet his eyes ignited with a fierce battle spirit:

"Immortal descends, perfect for me to fight! Let’s see if your immortal technique is invincible, or my mortal Dao is stronger!"

"Junior knows not the height of the heavens."

Mu Ye Celestial Immortal sneered disdainfully, a light wave of the golden robe’s sleeve sent an invisible air wave suppressing Tian Duzi’s battle spirit by three parts:

"This is merely an incarnation of mine, not even one ten-thousandth of the true body’s strength. The difference in realm between us is like heaven and earth, yet you dare speak of ’a battle’?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Having said that, Mu Ye Celestial Immortal flicked a virtual point, no earth-shattering sound, the space before Tian Duzi solidified abruptly, and a Dao Domain slowly unfolded.

Within the domain was the immortal mountain and palatial towers of Bu Tian Dao, countless immortal apparitions chanting scriptures, each word transforming into hammers suppressing the divine soul.

The Dao Domain crushed downward, Tian Duzi felt his skeleton crackling across his body, the purple-gold Qi Column instantly compressed to a mere three feet range.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of purple-gold Essence Blood, driving the Eight Suffering Wheel Flag into the ground:

"Eight Sufferings rotate, reverse the Dao!"

The domain instantly resounded with countless wails, spirits of the eight sufferings, such as birth, aging, illness, and death, frantically colliding with the domain, forcibly tearing open a rift within the immortal mountain and palatial towers.

Mu Ye Celestial Immortal’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise; his formerly indifferent face finally showed some interest:

"Oh? The Dao of Eight Sufferings has been perfected to such an extent by you, there’s a bud of Dao beginning to form, not far from consolidating a Dao Principle, should you ascend, several thousand years later, you might truly become a member of my Dao."

"No wonder you can run rampant in the mortal realm, killing so my younger generations without resistance."

He changed his tone abruptly, coolly saying:

"Unfortunately, the more remarkable your talent, the less I can let you live! I cannot permit such a variable, today I will completely eradicate you!"

Before finishing his words, Mu Ye Celestial Immortal formed seals with both hands, seven golden flashing seal techniques shaped in the air.

"Heaven, Earth, Human, Dao, Law, Technique, Artifact!"

It was precisely Bu Tian Dao’s secret masterpiece "Bu Tian Seven Seals".

The seven seals fell one after another, the first seal "Heaven Seal" shattered Tian Duzi’s Eight Suffering Qi Column, the second seal "Earth Seal" crushed his body...

By the seventh seal "Artifact Seal", the Eight Suffering Wheel Flag exploded, Tian Duzi’s dark soul dissipated inch by inch in the golden light, leaving only a cry of unwillingness:

"No~ no~"

The cry was abruptly stopped under the pressure of the seal technique, even the divine soul was completely obliterated.

After dealing with Tian Duzi, the Bu Tian Ancestor waved his hand, the residual power of the seven seals swept across the entire scene, transforming into thousands of golden lights.

Blood Venerable, Elder Sha, and other side door Venerables didn’t even have a chance to resist, suppressed by the golden light, turned into streams of pure fortune merging into Ling Wenxuan.

The rest of the low-level side door cultivators need not mention, soon completely cleared!

Having done all this, the Bu Tian Ancestor believed the situation in this realm should be stable, he then looked at Ling Wenxuan, his brows furrowed.

He just lost a piece of fortune, wouldn’t allow the opponent to stay in the lower realm, then spoke:

"The threats in this realm are removed, but the primordial energy is severely injured, leaving you here could cause trouble."

He flicked his finger, injecting a golden light into Ling Wenxuan:

"I’ll help you stabilize your cultivation, immediately ascend!"

Ling Wenxuan felt the Spiritual Qi within him surge, instantly breaking through the shackles of the dark soul realm, crossing the tribulation, achieving Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

At the same time, a divine light from the nine heavens enveloped him, transforming into a Golden Rainbow rushing to the sky, breaking through the clouds, and disappearing.

...

Within a spiritual eye bubble deep in the East Sea, Chen Sheng’s palm-held Water Moon Phantom Mirror reflected all this clearly.

He watched the transformation of the Bu Tian Ancestor slowly disperse, watched the clouds of fortunе of the Immortal Mansion of Gui Xu gradually calm, a satisfied smirk curled at the corner of his mouth:

"Not bad, there’s still over a hundred and twenty years until the next fortune child appears."

"The five major sects have suffered heavy losses, the side door Venerables are mostly killed or wounded, the strength of cultivators in this realm is greatly diminished, paving the way for my subsequent rise."

"It was worth my entire setup!"

He raised his hand to disperse the Water Moon Phantom Mirror, his eyes flashed a hint of caution, secretly thought:

"But to be safe, better follow the original plan."

"First secretly guide a side door cultivator who avoided the great battle to become the first to ascend, then I’ll follow as the next, thus won’t stand out too much."
