Chapter 217: Chapter 117: Heavenly Venerate falls, Dao heart is fulfilled, Chen Chang’an becomes Heavenly Venerate!_5
In this battle, though Chen Chang’an ultimately annihilated everyone in Sansheng Temple.
He himself was not unharmed.
He was mostly fine but when he eliminated those two Heavenly Venerates, he faced direct backlash from the Great Dao.
His injuries were not light.
After all, they were Heavenly Venerates; not so easily obliterated.
As such, though Chen Chang’an appeared unscathed on the outside, he was practically riddled with holes on the inside.
Surviving itself was no easy feat.
To Shen Xuzi, all this was pointless.
"Old man, can you keep your mouth shut? I don’t want to speak to you."
"If you insist on probing, I can only tell you that some things, if you want to do them, you just do. There’s no need for so many whys."
Chen Chang’an ignored Shen Xuzi and focused on healing his injuries using his cultivation technique.
Although he annihilated two Heavenly Venerates this time, he’d also sustained significant injuries.
Indeed, a Heavenly Venerate is a Heavenly Venerate.
But, Chen Chang’an did not regret his actions.
Just as he said, some things, if you want to do them, you just do. Why bother asking why?
His purpose in ascending to the Saint Realm was always clear.
Nothing more than vengeance.
Not for himself, but for the parents of this lifetime.
Even though Chen Chang’an didn’t want to admit it, the two Chen elders were undeniably his parents.
That was an immutable fact.
A gentleman’s revenge is not overdue in ten years,
Chen Chang’an didn’t consider himself a gentleman.
But when it came to blood feuds, he never let them fester overnight!
And so, he went, for this reason alone.
"Fine, you’re powerful, and you’re right."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an, Shen Xuzi immediately fell silent.
[Ding! Detecting that the host has achieved the Main Cause, mentality improved.]
[Triggering hidden reward: Supreme Law.]
[Supreme Law: Selectively promotes one type of law to a higher realm, allowing for ascension!]
[Please choose one of the six following cosmic laws to ascend.]
[Dao]
[Demon]
[Buddhist]
[Confucian]
[Immortal]
[Sword]
Hmm?
Upon hearing the System’s notification, Chen Chang’an quickly focused his attention.
Looking at the six options presented by the System, he fell into deep thought.
Ascension, upgrading divine skills at the eighth realm to the ninth realm, is called Ascension!
In other words, once he chose an option here, he would then advance to the state of a true Ninth Stage.
From then on, watching over the world from above!
"System, I choose the Demon!"
After only a brief deliberation, Chen Chang’an immediately made his selection.
[Ding! The host’s choice – Demon – has been detected!]
[The note of the Demon Path has now begun, please be prepared.]
[Ding! The note of the Demon Path has been accomplished, please prepare to receive it.]
Om, om, om ~!
After the System’s notification, Chen Chang’an felt an immense power flood into his body.
Immediately, his Sea of Consciousness, his Inner World, every single cell in his body underwent tremendous changes.
They all began to ascend, eventually reaching an immortal state.
At the same time, within Chen Chang’an’s Inner World, an enormous world suddenly rose up.
It was a terrifying Demon World.
The Pure Land of the Demon Nation, it was the Pure Land of the Demon Nation.
The appearance of the Pure Land of the Demon Nation signified that Chen Chang’an had become a true Heavenly Venerate of the Ninth Stage.
Once a Heavenly Venerate, he was set high above all nine realms!
Om, om, om ~!
At the same time, in the sky of the outer world.
Terrifying visions also appeared at this moment.
Out of nowhere, a massive storm cloud appeared in an otherwise clear sky.
In an instant, it covered the entire sky of the Wuxiang realm.
"What is happening?"
"What’s happening? Has another Heavenly Venerate fallen?"
Seeing the sudden change in celestial phenomena, beings were startled and bewildered.
Their first thoughts were that another Heavenly Venerate was about to fall.
Not that they were oversensitive, but in these last twenty or so days.
The sky of the Wuxiang realm had already witnessed dozens of sights of Venerates falling.
Among those, two had been at the Heavenly Venerate level.
The celestial performance happening now seemed to be at the Heavenly Venerate level.
So, they assumed that somewhere another Heavenly Venerate had befallen a calamity.
Instantly, all beings squatted down, waiting for this judgment day to arrive.
However, they waited for a long time and did not see the expected rain of blood from the sky.
Contrarily, the celestial spectacle became ever more grandiose.
"It’s not right! Look, this isn’t a Heavenly Venerate passing away, but the emergence of a peerless Heavenly Venerate!"
Just then, someone as if discovering something yelled loudly.
Hearing this voice, the beings instantly glanced upwards.
They immediately noticed something different from the previous incidents.
They saw the sky which was not raining blood but instead the ground was filled with golden lotus flowers.
The heart of the lotus flower was purple-gold, not white as before.
And at the far end of the sky, near the Dead Sea, strands of purple vapour were seen rising.
These strands of purple vapour seemed to rejoice and skip in the wind under the watchful gaze of Heaven and Earth.
How could this be a Heavenly Venerate’s demise? This was clearly the birth of a Heavenly Venerate!
"Who is it?"
"Which Daoist Master had such an opportunity, to break through the barriers and step into the position of Heavenly Venerate ahead of others?"
