Chapter 1744 — You Are Not Worthy
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
And the reborn A Chou and Tian Gong also walked the Dao Realm path, so the impact on them was slight. The younger generation—Yun Jianli, Zhe Huali, Wang Muran, Qi Jiuyi, and others—hailed from the Jingping Academy of Dao. Along their cultivation journey, they had long since availed themselves of the Academy's reform achievements, and had not walked the traditional cultivation system. Instead, after entering the Heavenly Palace realm, they had studied the achievements of Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua, and each had attained remarkable accomplishments of their own.
As for the even younger generation—Hua Xuanxiu, Patriarch Wen Yuan, and others—they had studied the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system of Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua from the very foundation, and had no such concerns.
Yet the impact of this matter on the overall course of the war was immense. Had the Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master not unleashed the Jade Capital Trap and stripped away the four great realms, then upon Shen Mu's return, they could have launched a counterattack against the Heavenly Court!
But now, for Jingping to simply hold on and not be annihilated was already a stroke of sheer luck!
The Moon Heavenly Venerable, the Nether Heavenly Venerable, Lang Wan, and others wore expressions of hidden worry.
After this sudden upheaval erupted, they had resolutely severed the Jade Capital Cities within their Heavenly Palaces, decisively leveled their Lingxiao Halls, and retained only their individual Heavenly Palaces. Their cultivation in the Dao Realm was exceedingly high; though the loss of these four realms dealt no small blow to their cultivation, they still retained six or seven tenths of their strength. But the Crimson Emperor Qi Xiayu—her cultivation and strength now amounted to only a few thousandths of what they had been. That was the truly terrifying part.
And there were many others who had been similarly weakened! The Crimson Emperor Qi Xiayu looked toward the Indra Heavenly King Li Youran with some hesitation.
She saw that this man was no longer the handsome monk of former days, but a ferocious demon god with a hideous visage, so much so that for a moment she dared not recognize him. She nonetheless summoned her courage and stepped forward, saying, "This fellow disciple, you resemble an old friend of mine.
" Li Youran, ashamed of his wretched state, avoided her without response.
Qi Xiayu stepped forward once more and said, "I knew a monk from Wuyou Township. His name was Li Youran. He was once the Indra Heavenly King Buddha of the Buddhist realm.
" Li Youran could not evade her, and said, "The female benefactor has mistaken me for someone else. Over there are the Buddhist soldiers of the Buddhist order, coming down the mountain to save people.
That Battle Void Tathagata should know the Indra Heavenly King Buddha you speak of.
" Qi Xiayu did not go to see the Battle Void Tathagata, but instead stared fixedly at him and said, "No matter what Li Youran has become, I would recognize him.
" Li Youran remained unmoved. "Imperial Brother, come and give a lecture.
" Above the Lanfeng Valley, Shen Mu looked down, taking in the myriad expressions of sentient beings, and said, "Speak of your cultivation system for three days, and let everyone in the Lanfeng Valley hear it.
" Lan Yutian scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, Xu Shenghua once told me that what I speak of is too profound, and few can understand it.
If I lecture on the Ancestral Court Dao Realm cultivation system, I fear not many of these gods and demons will grasp it. And in three days, even if they could comprehend the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system, I'm afraid they could not cultivate it.
" "No matter. " Shen Mu said, "You just speak.
