A trace of yin and yang energy flowed through the world domain, stirring the heavenly mechanism.
They cycled repeatedly and gradually spread outward.
It’s important to know that Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu’s Dao thoughts were completely opposite to the Nine Heavenly Lords, and the energy from outside the domain clashed with their intentions, causing intense turbulence.
The Central Heavenly Lord had not yet set out when he received protests from several Celestial Venerables below.
If it weren’t for the incident with the Awakened Celestial Venerable, they would have personally sought an explanation, but now that the Awakened Celestial Venerable’s Dharma form had been shattered and thousands of years of cultivation had been cut, they dared not step forward themselves.
Outside the Primordial Dao Palace, the Central Heavenly Lord’s aura circulated around him, his expression showing little fluctuation.
He waited outside for half an hour before his intentions were accepted by the Dao Palace.
Upon entering, he immediately saw Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu sitting by a stone table drinking tea, causing his eyelids to twitch.
This time, he was here to question them, not as polite as before, and directly said, “What do you two Heavenly Lords mean by this?”
Li Jingyu glanced at the Central Heavenly Lord and said indifferently, “Anyone can occupy a piece of the Outer World Domain, why can’t we? That area has no inherited karma, and the Primordial Qi is shared by all.”
The Central Heavenly Lord said in a deep voice, “That was in the barbaric era, now our Great Luo Heaven Realm has its own rules.”
“But we are not part of your Dao Palace, so why should we follow your rules?” Li Jingyu raised an eyebrow and continued, “The Heavenly Lord used golden sand to cover the three small realms below, cutting off our path to gather Primordial Qi, so we naturally have to find another way.” In the Great Luo Heaven Realm, strength still speaks, and the Nine Heavenly Lords clearly have the upper hand, having occupied the Great Luo Heaven Realm for countless years.
However, to maintain the completeness of the Primordial Qi, they are unwilling to act and cause changes in the heavenly mechanism, giving Ji Yutang and her companions an opportunity.
The Central Heavenly Lord looked deeply at the two and said, “We can remove the golden sand.”
“To place it and remove it at will, how capable you are.” Ji Yutang sneered, stood up, and looked at the Central Heavenly Lord, saying, “We now have a method to gather Primordial Qi from outside the heavens, so whether the golden sand is there or not is irrelevant.”
The Central Heavenly Lord said coldly, “Then what do you want?”
Li Jingyu said, “We are also Heavenly Lords, is it too much to occupy one domain?”
The Central Heavenly Lord considered for a moment and said, “The Heavenly Week can be divided.”
Li Jingyu and Ji Yutang both secretly sneered at this.
The Heavenly Week had already fallen into the hands of the Dragon Lord and others, not under the control of the Nine Heavens.
Were the Nine Heavens trying to make them clash with the Dragon Lord? “What I want, I will take myself,” Li Jingyu said with a cold, sharp gaze.
The Central Heavenly Lord frowned, took a step back, and said, “Then divide ten world domains.”
These ten world domains were each given up by one of the Nine Heavenly Lords, a significant concession.
Li Jingyu decisively said, “Twenty world domains.”
The Central Heavenly Lord’s eyelids twitched wildly, and the spiritual energy behind him surged upward, with his Dharma form faintly appearing.
Li Jingyu was not intimidated, directly revealing the true form of the Dao Mother.
Ji Yutang stepped forward, with the Xuanhuang Divine Dragon exuding a majestic presence.
The Central Heavenly Lord often interacted with cultivators entering the Great Luo Heaven Realm, but had never seen anyone as formidable as these two.
Was it truly heaven’s assistance? The Central Heavenly Lord felt a chill in his heart, wishing to kill them immediately, but ultimately suppressed this murderous intent.
When their Dao methods are perfected, that will be the right time.
He took a deep breath and said firmly, “Fifteen world domains.” After a pause, he added, “Our Great Luo Heaven Realm has divided the Outer World Domain for you, but how you obtain it is your own business.”
Li Jingyu accepted the offer with a smile, “Naturally.”
For the Nine Heavenly Lords, fifteen world domains were a small number, entirely bearable, but this time it was their reputation that suffered.
The Nine Heavenly Lords would not publicize this matter, merely ignoring it when the Celestial Venerables came knocking.
After the Central Heavenly Lord left, Ji Yutang said solemnly, “These fifteen world domains are not connected, whether borrowing a path from other Celestial Venerables or retrieving them, it won’t be easy.” After a pause, she added, “But once in hand, we can promote the evolution of the world domains, gradually infiltrating other Outer World Domains, shaking their Dao thoughts.”
Li Jingyu nodded, smiling, “Combat is the fastest way to enhance one’s Dao practice.” Her eyes became deep and contemplative, like the dark sky beyond the heavens.
They did not intend to break the established order upon entering the Great Luo Heaven Realm; it was a long process.
The world domains stained with their intentions were like nails driven into the original world domains, waiting for the right moment to stir up a storm.
Not every Celestial Venerable in the fifteen world domains was afraid of battle.
Some, due to the fate of the Awakened Celestial Venerable, were unwilling to act, while others secretly allied with other Celestial Venerables to deal with Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu.
But it should be known that Ji Yutang and her companions were not alone; in the Heavenly Week world domain, there were the Dragon Lord, Huai Wanxiu, and others.
After several confrontations, these Celestial Venerables repeatedly suffered defeats.
Unlike Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu, they wanted to maintain the completeness of their Dharma bodies, and the best way was to reduce battles.
Even the Nine Heavenly Lords let things take their course, so why should they worry?
In just ten years after entering the Great Luo Heaven Realm, Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu had taken control of all fifteen world domains, using the wondrous method of evolving the heavens to generate yin and yang, leaving their mark of intentions.
These fifteen world domains’ intentions were not solidified but in eternal flow, and unless other Outer World Domains completely retreated into void silence, they would inevitably intersect with their intentions.
This intersection directly promoted changes in the heavenly Dao, causing the entire Great Luo Heaven Realm’s Primordial Qi to become turbulent.
However, the Nine Heavenly Lords did not pay attention to these matters, continuing to absorb the Primordial Qi to replenish themselves, waiting for the moment of ultimate perfection.
In a flash, five hundred years passed.
The bells of the Great Luo Heaven Realm suddenly rang, and the energy surged on the Nine Heavenly Pillars, converging into a massive torrent, washing down towards the lower realms. Ji Yutang was startled by this momentum, her gaze turning in that direction, immediately discovering it was the land of Jiuzhou!
“Someone in Jiuzhou has taken that step, and they intend to obstruct the path of cultivators as before,” Ji Yutang frowned.
Li Jingyu pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, “You are the master of this era of Jiuzhou, use your intentions as a bridge to guide them forward.” This is actually the authority of the Heavenly Lord.
In the past, when cultivators entered the Great Luo Heaven Realm, they transferred the authority to the Nine Heavenly Lords, giving them the power of selection.
As for Jiuzhou, since the authority remained with the Jiuzhou cultivators, the Nine Heavenly Lords could only use their power to intercept, overpowering them, and in most cases, they succeeded.
Ji Yutang immediately understood, the divine dragon behind her manifested, letting out a long dragon roar.
Nine strands of Xuanhuang energy spiraled and flew, sweeping downward.
With her intentions to borrow, the other party could use this to counter the Nine Heavenly Lords’ power, but whether they could succeed depended on their own Dao thoughts and cultivation.
It seemed like eons passed, or perhaps just a moment, with a thunderous explosion, countless starlights scattered like raindrops.
The energy in the Great Luo Heaven Realm surged again, and soon a name imprint appeared in everyone’s mind.
“It’s the martial uncle,” Li Jingyu’s eyes turned, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Her intentions extended outward, and in a blink, she brought Shi Qingchen back to the Dao Palace.
“This Great Luo Heaven Realm—” Shi Qingchen sensed the strangeness of this realm, pondering.
After a moment, she cleared her thoughts and smiled at Li Jingyu and Ji Yutang, “Thanks to you two being here.”
Li Jingyu: “The master and others are in the Heavenly Week, do you want to go there?” Shi Qingchen nodded, her gaze lingering on Li Jingyu for a few moments before turning to Ji Yutang, “Daoist Friend Ji and Ning Daoist should break through within a hundred years.”
Ji Yutang stood up, bowing to Shi Qingchen, “Thank you, martial uncle.”
Shi Qingchen raised an eyebrow in surprise, her smile deepening as she looked at Li Jingyu and Ji Yutang for a while, then said, “I will go to the Heavenly Week myself, not disturbing your peace.”
In the past, when cultivators entered the Great Luo Heaven Realm, the Nine Heavenly Lords would send invitations, asking them to join their camp, and this time was no exception.
However, when the Central Heavenly Lord’s intentions reached the Heavenly Week, he abandoned his original plan, returning to the heavenly pillar with a wooden face.
“The land of Jiuzhou is not under our control, and more cultivators will ascend in the future.”
“That place is, after all, the beginning of the great Dao, the ancestral land of the Dao Ancestor and Demon Ancestor.”
“Should we let them be?”
“In another three hundred and sixty years, our Dharma bodies will be complete, it’s not good to act now.
After perfecting the Dao, all anomalies will be eliminated, no need to worry.”
In the following centuries, Jiuzhou continued to have people succeed, following Ji Yutang’s Xuanhuang energy to enter the Great Luo Heaven Realm.
The shadow of the Nine Heavenly Pillars was shrouded in darkness, hazy and difficult to discern.
However, Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu’s cultivation had grown significantly, allowing them to see the changes within.
Ji Yutang said solemnly, “The nine pillars are merging, their intentions are nearing perfection.”
Li Jingyu sneered, “Then let’s make them leak!”
In the fifteen regions, yin and yang energy intertwined and dissolved, forming giant dragons.
Ji Yutang’s eyes focused, the Dao book floating around her, forming a mysterious gate where all Dao rhymes flowed.
The true form of the Dao Mother emerged, breaking the chaos in the Outer World Domain, creating heaven and earth, establishing the four poles, and re-evolving the world.
The Outer World Domain was originally a mass of chaotic Primordial Qi, but after being re-established by the wondrous method of evolving the heavens, a seed of the Chaos World was born, and for the sake of the world’s evolution, this new world frantically seized the Primordial Qi.
As one decreased, the flow of Primordial Qi at the nine heavenly pillars slowed down.
At this moment, a chilling sword intent descended from above, slashing at the Nine Heavenly Pillars, causing the shadow about to merge to shatter instantly! The Primordial Qi surged, but before the Nine Heavenly Lords could reclaim it, it was swallowed by the newly born small realm.
The Celestial Venerables who had intended to assist the Nine Heavenly Lords withdrew their presence.
Their own world domains were also shaken by the unfamiliar intentions, making it difficult to divert their attention.
If the Nine Heavenly Lords hadn’t cut out fifteen world domains, would they have ended up like this?
The Nine Heavenly Lords had been cultivating for too long and were not easy to deal with.
The moment the heavenly pillar was cut, they retaliated.
Past matters could be conceded, but this was a struggle for the Dao, and even if they didn’t want the Primordial Qi to leak, they had to act to eliminate Ji Yutang and her companions.
The Great Luo Heaven Realm’s nine heavens had been established for too long, and they never thought anyone would want to shake this order.
Once they decided to act, the Nine Heavenly Lords would not spare their power, their Dharma forms manifesting, each holding a round, golden, shimmering jewel.
Li Jingyu focused, the true form of the Dao Mother splitting heaven and earth, controlling the universe, with nine Jewels of the Rising Tides circling, adorning the crown, emitting a green brilliance.
“Those nine golden jewels will adorn my crown,” she pointed forward.
Ji Yutang smiled, “Naturally.” She beckoned, the Dao book shrouded in golden light fell into her hand, the Heavenly Seal of Morality’s Dao rhymes flowed, forming Dao texts pressing towards the Central Heavenly Lord.
The Xuanhuang Divine Dragon bore a crimson sun, countless fierce rays like arrows shooting forward, dyeing the sky in a magnificent and heroic color.
On the other side, the boundless sea of purple thunder evolved, the true form of the Dao Mother showing an angry face, the moon wheel hanging, the beginning of heaven and earth, and the end of all things.
The ruthless wind and fire shattered the Primordial Qi of the Great Luo Heaven Realm, infinite flames ignited in the clash of power.
The fifteen Outer World Domains had already fallen into the universe, and after absorbing the Primordial Qi of the Great Luo Heaven Realm, they began to evolve rapidly, traversing eons.
The Nine Heavenly Lords’ Primordial Qi was gradually stripped away, and even if they won this battle, returning to the past would take a long time, making them furious.
But as a grand Dao sound fell, a Dharma form shattered, a stream of water rolled, sending the remaining Primordial Qi away, while on the other side, a divine dragon flew, catching the falling golden jewel.
A Heavenly Lord had fallen.
Not the dispersal of a Dharma form, but the complete devouring of energy, leaving nothing behind.
This result made everyone’s hearts tremble, but there was another terrifying change, the locked Primordial Qi had a leak, like a flawless gem developing a crack.
The Primordial Qi was originally locked by the Nine Heavenly Lords together, not leaking outward, but now missing one, the heavenly Dao naturally seized the opportunity to reverse and seize the Primordial Qi.
This battle lasted a hundred years before it ended.
All nine Heavenly Lords fell, the fifteen world domains borrowed the Primordial Qi they expelled to fully form, gaining a name in the river of the great Dao, rather than drifting in the chaotic order of space.
These fifteen world domains were formed by borrowing from the Nine Heavenly Lords, but their Dao masters were only Ji Yutang and Li Jingyu.
The Primordial Qi circulated, inhaling and exhaling, enveloping the thousand five hundred-year cycle of heavenly tribulations below, completely dissipating.
In the Primordial Dao Palace.
After the disappearance of the nine heavenly pillars, the Primordial Dao Palace inherited the fate of the Great Luo Heaven Realm, becoming its master.
Nine golden jewels rolled in the jade plate, clashing with a crisp sound.
These were the jewels nurtured by the Nine Heavenly Lords for millions of years, containing immense power.
“I need to go into seclusion to refine this item,” Li Jingyu said slowly.
The Dao is endless, constantly changing, and even at this point, there is still the possibility of advancement.
Ji Yutang didn’t respond.
She propped her chin with one hand, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Li Jingyu stepped barefoot onto her foot, restlessly moving upward.
Ji Yutang took a deep breath before saying, “Then go ahead.”
Li Jingyu let out a dissatisfied hum and reached out to grab Ji Yutang’s wrist.
The jade plate tilted, and the precious pearl fell to the ground.
Immortal light swirled around, boundless and infinite.
