Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1214 565: The Divide Between Immortal Gods (Part 2)

As she raised her hand, a trace of Immortal Light danced at her fingertips, but it quickly dimmed. She said, "The Divine Dao and the Immortal Dao do not connect. You see, even I cannot grasp the Immortal Dao and know little about it."

She sighed, "After the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Three Pure Ones supported the establishment of the Haotian Heavenly Court, separating the Divine Dao and the Immortal Dao completely. The world speaks of gods and immortals, but gods and immortals are two different beings, not to be confused. Moreover, since the Three Pure Ones went into hiding, the conflict between immortals and gods has grown larger."

She fell silent.

The immortals feel that the gods meddle too much, preventing them from acting freely, while the gods think the immortals act recklessly, interfering with the Mortal World.

Both sides find each other displeasing.

Even Lady Houtu now has considerable dissatisfaction with the current situation.

Immortals leap beyond the Three Realms, not bound by the Five Elements. The gods of the heavens, earth, and humanity, the gods of the Five Elements, can't do anything about them. If they escape Reincarnation, Lady Houtu can't do anything about them either.

However, bearing the expectations of all beings, she can't help but try to intervene with these immortals.

In recent years, the conflicts between immortals and gods have intensified, battles frequently erupting, showing signs of getting out of control.

It's common for immortals to come to the Heavenly Court to file complaints, and many gods inside the Heavenly Court also lodge complaints.

Chen Shi changed the topic, saying, "Godmother, is this Fairy Yuan Bixia residing in the Earth Immortal Realm? And is her Dao Realm also within the Earth Immortal Realm?"

"She is in the Earth Immortal Realm, but it's not truly the Immortal Realm, just a world similar to the West Bull New Continent.

The Lady said, "When immortals ascend, they fly up to the Earth Immortal Realm, but when they reach Harmonization, it's often in their own world; few can Harmonize in the Earth Immortal Realm. Those who do are mostly the descendants of immortals."

She shook her head, "Immortals from other worlds have much lower status than those native to the Earth Immortal Realm."

Chen Shi's heart stirred as he thought of himself.

During his Harmonization, he borrowed the Outer Heaven True God as a Divine Embryo, transforming the entire West Bull New Continent into his Dao Realm.

Now that the Outer Heaven True God had turned into rosy clouds and ceased to exist, was the West Bull New Continent still his Dao Realm?

With his current cultivation, he could not possibly possess such a vast Dao Realm.

If the West Bull New Continent wasn't his Dao Realm, could he go to the Earth Immortal Realm for Harmonization and gain greater benefits?

"When I return to the West Bull New Continent, I'll see if it is still my Dao Realm!" he thought to himself.

The Lady continued, "Yuan Bixia is the same; she is a cultivator from the Guangyuan Realm. Had she not gone to the Earth Immortal Realm, found a good Dao companion, and become a concubine of Immortal Lord Hua, she wouldn't have her current status. However, to advance further is exceedingly difficult; the role of a monarch's concubine can lead her to become a True Immortal, but to become a Golden Immortal requires a great heaven-sent opportunity."

Chen Shi was silent for a long time and asked, "Is it the same in the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Lady Houtu replied with a knowing smile, "The better the resources, the more it is so. The Earth Immortal Realm has the best resources and opportunities, so everyone wants to go there."

"Why did Fairy Yuan Bixia offend you, Godmother?"

"It was no major issue. She was originally a cultivator from a cultivation sect in the Guangyuan Realm, engaged to her senior brother. With his help and guidance, she cultivated to the Mahayana Realm. Later, when they both faced tribulation, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures her senior brother had prepared weren't enough for both to cross the tribulation, so he gave his hard-crafted magical treasures and spiritual elixirs to her."

Lady Houtu said, "Her senior brother was sincere, hoping that after she crossed the tribulation and ascended, she could find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Earth Immortal Realm to help him cross the Heavenly Tribulation, so they could pair up and fly together in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Chen Shi asked puzzled, "Isn't Fairy Yuan Bixia the concubine of Immortal Lord Hua? How could she still have a fiancé?"

Lady Houtu said, "That's exactly the problem. She ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm and, seeing its prosperity, didn't return for a long time. Later, Immortal Lord Hua wanted her as a concubine. However, becoming Immortal Lord Hua's concubine isn't something anyone can do easily; she had to cut all ties with the Mortal World."

Chen Shi was somewhat angry, "Did she break the engagement with her senior brother?"

"She killed him."

Lady Houtu paused, "Officially, it wasn't her who did it. She returned to her sect with refined magical treasures, intending for her senior brother to use them for tribulation crossing, but she had tampered with them. Her senior brother couldn't survive the Heavenly Tribulation and died, allowing her to peacefully become Immortal Lord Hua's concubine."

"Such a thing?"

"Yes. There's a saying in the Earth Immortal Realm: 'Ascend first, cut ties with one's beloved,' which is quite true. After becoming Immortal Lord Hua's concubine, she gained his guidance, found an opportunity in the Dark Sea, and refined this Red Yuan Pill Furnace."

The two talked idly as they unknowingly arrived outside the Guangyuan Realm.

Chen Shi stood amidst the rosy clouds, gazing at this world. He saw the Guangyuan Realm's beautiful mountains and rivers, the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers, the scenery pleasing, and its people lived in peace and contentment, with the occasional cultivator roaming the Cloud Sea and mountains.

The cultivators in this world seemed few, perhaps because no one like Chen Yindou had developed the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique here.

In this world, there are many cultivators in famous mountains and rivers, likely from prestigious sects.

The West Bull New Continent had spread the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique to impoverished families, resulting in numerous cultivators, while governance by sects results in far fewer cultivators.

The rosy clouds carried them into the Guangyuan Realm, arriving over a well-known sect.

That sect was the one Yuan Bixia had joined before her ascension. Chen Shi, now in the Immortal Realm, being with Lady Houtu above this sect, went unnoticed by anyone.
