Chapter 650 20: Xing Tian! Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord!

(It's been a long time since I've added more chapters. Here's two chapters in draft, adding one extra.)

Majestic Mount Tai, towering into the clouds.

Where the mist and clouds swirl, the green peaks pierce through the nine heavens, and when the sea of clouds surges, the azure dragon appears on the eighteen bends.

To watch the sunrise atop the Peaceful Peak, one sees the Golden Crow bathed in blood, purple qi coming from the east, countless valleys and ravines bow their heads, listening to the pine waves before the Elder Peak, as if hearing the bell of Emperor Qin's fengshan ceremony and the drum of Emperor Wu of Han's sacrifice to heaven, the spirits of the thousand-year emperors are not yet extinguished.

Inscriptions on the rock cliffs bear the traces of Yu, twisted branches of ancient cypresses hide the traces of immortals.

This is the backbone of heaven and earth, the soul of Huaxia.

The sea of clouds surges.

A man with the appearance of a Taoist, with a beautiful beard, gazed afar at the vast land, letting out a deep sigh. He turned back to his disciple and softly said, "There have been unusual changes in Ziwei, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord has already descended to the world."

"My disciple."

"Take my sword and go down the mountain."

The young Taoist was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with extremely lively eyes, showing reluctance, wanting to say something but stopping. However, the Taoist waved his hand, and the winds and clouds of heaven and earth transformed into a primordial qi, sending the young Taoist down the mountain as if he were riding the clouds and mist, carrying a sword on his back, pure yang like fire, containing its own Taoist charm.

No one knows how much time passed.

Amidst the sea of clouds, a graceful figure walked with the wind, his long beard fluttering, face like jade, with all the essence of heaven and earth beneath his feet. The sea of clouds surged, and clear qi arose with a thought of his, stirring the dragon veins of the Five Sacred Mountains.

"Daoist Lv, it's been a while."

The appearance of that person seemed indistinct, as if containing countless faces, the ultimate of emperors, master of heaven and earth, supreme of all things.

Atop the precipice.

Daoist Lv slowly stood up, gazing at the person standing on the sea of clouds a hundred feet away, his expression calm, saying, "Daoist Zhang."

"It's been a long time, your cultivation has become increasingly profound."

Both were gods of their era, throughout the long river of history in Middle-earth, those capable of achieving such realms in the mortal world were but few.

Daoist Zhang rode the clouds, landing on the Peaceful Peak, looking down at the lands and rivers, they stood side by side. No one knew how long it was before this person turned and softly murmured, "Daoist, how do you find my Jade Emperor Temple?"

Daoist Lv remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Daoist Zhang, do you truly wish to steal the fate of heaven and earth to prove your path as the Jade Emperor?"

In an instant.

The dragon veins of the Five Sacred Mountains trembled, as if immense forces collided, the Taoist charm of heaven and earth, yin and yang separated, the sea of clouds surged, and between the two, it seemed like heaven and earth were apart, no longer on the same plane.

The human realm seemed to be cut. Around Daoist Lv, anomalies appeared, purple qi condensed, as if this world could no longer contain him.

Daoist Zhang remained silent for a long time, yet his presence had already isolated heaven and earth, suppressing the aura of Mount Tai.

"Please, Daoist Lv, ascend to heaven."

The moment the words "ascend to heaven" were uttered, the sky instantly burst with a myriad of rays, as if someone had achieved Ascension, with ethereal sounds, morning bells, and evening drums, above the Nine Heavens, as if a rift opened.

Daoist Lv was unmoved. As the foremost in the realm of gods of the era, he did not wish to ascend, and no one could force him.

He stood atop Mount Tai, overlooking the rivers and mountains of the Nine Provinces, his voice far-reaching: "Haotian, suppress the fate of the Nine Provinces."

"From ancient times to now, unchanged."

"Daoist Zhang seeks to steal the heavenly mechanism, unafraid of heaven and earth's collapse, Huaxia in disaster, the Nine Provinces' land, and all living beings facing calamity?"

Daoist Zhang's gaze was calm, slowly saying, "Daoist Lv worries too much."

"If I prove the path as the Jade Emperor."

"I shall naturally suppress the fate of the Nine Provinces, execute the Outer Heaven Demon, and deter the barbaric gods of the four directions, safeguarding Huaxia for eternity."

Daoist Lv said with a deep voice, "Eternity?"

"Daoist Zhang, seizing the fate of Huaxia, recklessly using a mortal dynasty to aid in proving your path, I've deduced the changes of heaven and earth with the Grand Derivation, only to see the North and South severed, the Nine Provinces fallen, and the attire and caps of Huaxia utterly destroyed."

Daoist Zhang remained unmoved, calmly saying, "Daoist, you still worry too much."

"Your Grand Derivation is obscured by the heavenly mechanism, naturally seeing the evolution of the demon. In the future, with me, safeguarding the fate of the Nine Provinces, Huaxia will have no worries."

Daoist Lv, upon hearing this, laughed in anger, saying, "Good! Good! Good!"

"A fine Jade Emperor!"

"A fine eternal rule!"

"This humble Taoist is unworthy."

"For the fate of Huaxia, to rectify the name of heaven and earth, I'm afraid I must ask for your guidance!"

Haotian.

The bloodline of Huaxia has been worshiped since ancient times, enduring unchanged over thousands of years. This person seeks to steal the heavenly mechanism, to seize the power of Haotian, to prove the path as the Jade Emperor, must first seek permission from the sword in his hand.

"Why must Daoist Lv be like this."

Daoist Zhang let out a sigh, slowly saying, "If Daoist Lv ascends today, achieves Ascension, this world will have no more ties with you."

"You will also achieve great freedom and liberation, unbound, traversing three thousand worlds."

A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Daoist Lv's mouth, saying, "Great freedom? Great liberation?"

"Daoist Zhang knocked down the celestial constellations."

"The twenty-eight constellations, the twelve primordials, all have fallen into mortal reincarnation."

"Outside of heaven and earth."

"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord was also drawn by your act of stealing the heavenly mechanism, how is there freedom and liberation?"

"Isn't it—Heaven sends killing intent, moving stars and changing constellations; Earth sends killing intent, dragons and serpents rise from the land."

Daoist Zhang remained silent.

After a long time, he finally said, "The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord came because of me. I will face the tribulation and emerge, executing the demon to prove my path!"

"There's no need for Daoist Lv to worry."

A sharper trace of ridicule appeared on Daoist Lv's face, slowly saying, "Executing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord?"

"What a bold statement, Daoist."

"You have not yet proven your path, what makes you confident to execute the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord?"

Daoist Zhang calmly said, "I have my ways."

"There's no need for Daoist to worry."

"I respectfully invite Daoist Lv to ascend to heaven!"

Ascend to heaven.

When these words were uttered again, heavenly changes occurred, stars shifted, atop Mount Tai, as if isolated, stars filled the sky, all appearing in the firmament, a path leading to the heavens tore open this world, it was the shattering of the void, achieving Ascension, attaining great liberation, the passport to enter and exit the grand worlds.
