Today’s ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Mount Buzhou within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven was completely different from usual.

Disciples ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍and elders of Taiyi Dao Sect, members of the Heaven and Earth One Family Great Love Alliance.

No ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍one moved about.

Everyone quietly waited.

Waiting for the master of the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, the Longevity Dao Lord, to arrive and preach the Dao.

At the very front of the mountaintop sat a prayer cushion.

That was Gu Yan’s seat.

The cushion remained empty, yet no one dared approach within three chi of it.

The sun gradually rose higher.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged within Longevity Hall, calculating the time.

It was about right.

With a thought, his figure instantly vanished.

The next moment, he appeared atop Mount Buzhou and steadily seated himself upon the prayer cushion.

Tens of thousands of people present immediately rose and bowed in unison upon seeing him appear.

“Greetings, Longevity Dao Lord!”

Gu Yan slightly raised a hand.

“You may sit.”

Everyone sat down once more in perfectly synchronized movements.

Gu Yan swept his gaze across the crowd and slowly began speaking:

“The last time I preached the Dao, I spoke of the path from Qi Refinement to Tribulation Crossing Realm.”

“Today’s sermon concerns the immortal dao realms.”

“But before discussing the immortal dao realms, one must first speak of the classification of worlds.”

Everyone held their breath, afraid of missing even a single word.

“The world in which we reside is divided into Great Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Small Thousand Worlds.”

“Small Thousand Worlds are mortal worlds.”

“The spiritual qi is thin, resources are limited, and the upper limit cultivators may reach is extremely low.”

“All of you came from Southern Sea Mortal World Number Seventy-Three, so you should understand this clearly.”

“And there are three thousand mortal worlds.”

“The term ‘three thousand’ is not literal, but figurative, signifying countless numbers.”

“As for Middle Thousand Worlds, there are the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, Demon Realm, Ghost Realm, and so forth.”

“And as for Great Thousand Worlds, there is only one—the Immortal Realm.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people’s eyes flickered slightly.

Gu Yan continued:

“When cultivators of Middle Thousand Worlds reach the Tribulation Crossing Realm and break through to the Human Immortal Realm, they will inevitably ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

“This is both a rule of the Heavenly Dao and because the Immortal Realm possesses immortal essence qi.”

“The cultivation of immortal dao realms cannot be separated from this type of spiritual energy.”

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

“However, this Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven of mine differs from ordinary Middle Thousand Worlds.”

“This place contains all kinds of spiritual qi. Naturally, immortal essence qi is not lacking either.”

“When your cultivation reaches the Human Immortal Realm in the future, you need not fear being forcibly ascended to the Immortal Realm.”

“Of course, if any of you wish to travel to the Immortal Realm, I will not stop you.”

What Gu Yan said was the truth.

There was just one point he did not mention—anyone wanting to leave would definitely not escape the complete Great Memory Sealing Technique package.

Among the crowd, Ye Chen sat in the middle rows. After hearing these words, he inexplicably shivered.

He shrank his neck and thought inwardly: Whether others wanted to go to the Immortal Realm had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he definitely did not want to go.

The Immortal Realm?

Just hearing the name made it obvious that place was even more dangerous than the Spirit Realm.

It was better to cultivate peacefully within this grotto heaven.

Gu Yan continued:

“Though worlds are numerous, fundamentally, they can all be categorized as part of the same world.”

He raised a hand, and within the void appeared the phantom of a gigantic ancient tree, lush with branches and leaves that covered the heavens.

“If this great tree is compared to the Heavenly Dao, then every leaf upon it represents a world.”

“Mortal worlds are leaves. The Spirit Realm is a leaf. The Demon Realm is a leaf. The Immortal Realm is also a leaf.”

“No matter which world one resides in, all remain upon this great tree and are governed by the same Heavenly Dao.”

Everyone raised their heads to gaze at the ancient tree phantom, their hearts filled with shock.

Gu Yan waved his hand, dispersing the phantom.

“Very well. The classification of worlds is finished. Next, we speak of the immortal dao realms.”

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they all straightened their posture.

“The immortal dao realms, from low to high, are respectively Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, and Immortal Emperor. Each major realm is further divided into nine minor layers.”

“First, Human Immortal.”

“A Human Immortal undergoes rebirth and transformation. Upon reaching this stage, one may be considered to have truly stepped onto the threshold of immortal dao.”

“However, Human Immortals remain the lowest tier within immortal dao. In the Immortal Realm, they merely count as beginners.”

“Above Human Immortal lies Earth Immortal.”

“What is an Earth Immortal? Earth Immortals root themselves within the land, and blessed lands arise naturally.”

“Upon reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, one may seek a location where spiritual veins converge and refine it into one’s personal blessed land.”

“Within that blessed land, the Earth Immortal becomes the ruler, capable of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth within it for personal use.”

“Above Earth Immortal lies Heavenly Immortal.”

“Heavenly Immortals achieve unity between heaven and man, sensing the Heavenly Dao.”

“The divine abilities and power of Heavenly Immortals far surpass those of Earth Immortals.”

“The Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture I passed down to you all can be cultivated up to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

Many people hearing this revealed fervent light within their eyes.

“Above Heavenly Immortal lies True Immortal.”

“True Immortals return to simplicity and refine their true selves.”

“Though True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal appear separated by only a single realm, in truth the difference is as vast as heaven and earth.”

“Above True Immortal lies Mysterious Immortal.”

“Mysterious Immortals are profound beyond profundity, thoroughly comprehending laws.”

“The law power a Mysterious Immortal can wield carries immense might with every gesture.”

“Above Mysterious Immortal lies Golden Immortal.”

“Golden Immortals possess indestructible golden nature, remaining unscathed through myriad tribulations.”

“Upon reaching the Golden Immortal Realm, one becomes a truly immortal existence.”

“Even if heaven and earth collapse and the universe returns to chaos, a Golden Immortal can still remain unharmed within it.”

By the time everyone heard this, their hearts already yearned intensely.

Immortality.

Indestructibility through endless tribulations.

How many cultivators dreamed of such a realm?

“Above Golden Immortal lies Immortal King.”

“Immortal Kings embody the kingly path, ruling over a domain.”

“Upon reaching the Immortal King Realm, it is no longer merely personal strength. One can spread one’s law power outward and influence an entire region of heaven and earth.”

“Within an Immortal King’s domain, they are king, they are god, they are inviolable law itself.”

“Most major forces within the Immortal Realm are overseen by Immortal Kings.”

“Above Immortal King lies Immortal Emperor.”

At this point, Gu Yan’s voice became slightly heavier.

“Immortal Emperors embody the imperial path, where all laws return to one.”

“Immortal Emperors are the pinnacle existences of the Immortal Realm. Opening heavens with a thought and destroying worlds with a thought are trivial matters to them.”

“Upon reaching this realm, even the creation and destruction of an entire world become matters accomplished with the flick of a finger.”

Silence filled the mountaintop.

Everyone was digesting the information Gu Yan had spoken.

Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor.

Eight great realms, each one loftier and more unreachable than the last.

And the Longevity Dao Lord currently seated upon the prayer cushion—what realm had he reached now?

No one knew.

Nor did anyone dare ask aloud.

Yet many clever individuals guessed that this Dao Lord was probably an Immortal Emperor?

Otherwise, how could he possibly create something like the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven?

The way everyone looked at Gu Yan contained even more reverence now.

Gu Yan remained calm while observing their reactions.

The cultivation method he cultivated was the 《Primordial Limitless Grand Five Elements Primordial Chaos Creation True Scripture》. This cultivation method was incomparably profound and contained detailed descriptions of every immortal dao realm.

“Having spoken of all that, let us now discuss one matter closely related to all of you.”

Gu Yan raised his hand again, causing another gigantic ancient tree phantom to appear within the void.

Unlike the previous tree representing the Heavenly Dao, this ancient tree overflowed with even greater vitality.

“This tree is called the Eternal Myriad Heavens World Tree. It belongs to me, and every leaf upon it is a world.”

Everyone stared at the ancient tree with eyes filled with shock.

“I previously stated that the world we inhabit may be compared to a great tree.”

“And this Eternal Myriad Heavens World Tree of mine can leap beyond our tree and travel to another great tree.”

“Those worlds possess no relation whatsoever to this heaven and earth, nor any interaction with it. They possess their own Heavenly Dao, their own laws, their own living beings, and their own civilizations. Every great tree is an independent universe.”

“And this tree can become the bridge connecting those worlds.”

Gu Yan’s voice remained calm, yet his words exploded beside everyone’s ears like thunder.

“The reason I tell you all this is because I hope you will cultivate diligently.”

“In the future, I will require people capable of traveling to every leaf and governing those worlds.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the mountaintop first fell silent.

Then, from the direction where the Great Love Alliance members sat, an uncontrollable burst of excitement erupted.

Govern those worlds!

This... wasn’t this exactly their old profession?!

Back in Southern Sea Mortal World Number Seventy-Three, this was precisely what they had done!

Under the leadership of Great Love Immortal Venerable Fang Yuan, they had brought Great Love to the world, unified all under heaven, and established an ideal nation where every person could become a dragon.

That sense of achievement and mission was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

But ever since Southern Sea Mortal World Number Seventy-Three achieved universal unity, there had been little left for them to do.

Nothing more than maintaining order and handling ordinary daily affairs. Their lives were peaceful, but they lacked the passion of those earlier days.

After arriving at the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, they had planned to peacefully retire while casually cultivating immortality.

They did not even care much that their cultivation improved slowly, so long as life remained comfortable.

But now, hearing Gu Yan’s words, the flame within their hearts reignited.

Retire?

Retire for what?!

There were still countless worlds waiting for them to save, govern, and fulfill the dream of Great Love without boundaries!

That was what they truly wanted to do!

The members of the Great Love Alliance exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

The Taiyi Dao Sect disciples seated near the front turned to glance at them, inwardly clicking their tongues in amazement.

What happened to this group?

Why did they suddenly look like they had been injected with chicken blood?

Gu Yan observed the reactions of the Great Love Alliance members and slightly nodded.

Their response was satisfactory.

Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Yan said:

“Very well. Today’s sermon ends here.”

He stood up, and his figure instantly disappeared.

Tens of thousands of people simultaneously rose and bowed.

“Respectfully sending off the Longevity Dao Lord!”

The crowd atop the mountain lingered for a long time without dispersing.

Some still savored the contents of the lecture.

Some had already begun discussing the mysteries of the immortal dao realms with those beside them.

As for the Great Love Alliance members, they gathered together in groups of two or three, speaking quietly among themselves, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

They finally had something to strive toward again.
