Chapter 25: Taoist Conference

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the sky above Xiangya mountain, the Dao domain of the celestial world appeared, and a celestial ascension path opened up on Xiangya Mountain. Countless living beings went crazy over it. Even the demons around Xiangya Mountain could not help but come near.

The celestial world’s Dao domain, the celestial ascension path.

Even if they couldn’t directly step into the Dao domain and ascend to the celestial world like the celestials of the Dao Entry realm, as long as they got close, they could reap countless benefits.

That was because that place was the closest to celestials and Dao.

Holy Leader Chiyang, Holy Leader Yuanming, Sect Leader Ziyang, several quasi-celestials, and the War Gods all went crazy when they saw the celestial world Dao domain.

They no longer discussed the Dao and only sought to ascend.

Celestials in the Dao Entry realm were but mortal celestials.

Only by ascending to the celestial world could one become a true celestial!

“Let’s go. Although millions of cultivators have managed to work together and open up the celestial ascension Dao domain, there are heavenly tribulations in the Dao domain. They may be smaller than those during the ascension of mortal celestials, but if we go too late, the heavenly tribulations will become stronger and stronger.”

“We only have one chance. Ascend! Ascend!”

“You’ll be in charge of the Chiyang Holy Land from now on. Once I’ve gained a firm foothold in the celestial world, I’ll send down great divine abilities to help you all become celestials one after another.”

The holy leaders of the various Holy Lands who wanted to ascend had already begun to make arrangements for matters after they were gone. After all, once they ascended, God knows when they would be able to return to the Xuanling World. As such, they still had to make such arrangements.

The group of holy leaders advanced quickly. However, just as they were about to reach the celestial ascension Dao domain, a blood-red array suddenly lit up on the entire Xiangya Mountain.

“What’s this?”

“What’s going on?”

“Who dares to set up an array here? This is simply courting death.”

Holy Leader Yuanming, Holy Leader Chiyan, Sect Leader Ziyang, and Holy Monk Sanzang were all furious.

The celestial ascension Dao domain had been activated, but it was very unstable. At this point, the powerful energy fluctuations of an array could very well destroy the foundation of the celestial ascension Dao domain. Once the latter was destroyed, it would be difficult to reform it.

“Kekeke…”

A strange sound came from the blood light array. In the haziness, endless black gas seemed to be surging, and a gloomy and terrifying figure appeared, but it was unclear who it was.

“Ah, shit, this is a killing array.”

“Let’s go! Escape!”

“Someone is setting us up.”

Xiangya Mountain was covered by a killing array.

Countless cultivators died in the array.

This was especially so for the weak at the foot of the mountain. They were the most miserable. When they came, they couldn’t get close to the core of the mountain due to their weak strength, and could only watch the celestials discuss Dao from afar.

Now that the killing array had been activated, they were the closest to the edge of the killing array. As such, they were ground into meat paste by the killing array that was shrinking bit by bit.

“A trap. This is a killing trap. Someone has deliberately set up a killing trap behind our backs and lured us into the array. What is their intention?”

“The Central Region’s Dao discussion conference has not been held for thousands of years. After such a long time, the whole event has been so grand. I never thought that someone was behind it, just to set up this killing trap. Who is he, and what is his real purpose?”

The cultivators were all scared witless.

They realized that this Dao discussion conference was a huge conspiracy.

Someone was deliberately pushing for this from behind the scenes. That someone had even set up a killing array on Xiangya Mountain in an attempt to achieve some unspeakable goal with the lives of the tens of thousands of cultivators who had entered this area.

Bang, bang, bang!

As the killing array shrunk, Xiangya mountain became a large meat grinder. Countless creatures and cultivators exploded under the pressure of the killing array, turning into a bloody mist that filled the air.

Originally, the place where a hundred schools of thought discussed Dao had already shown signs of becoming a new Holy Land under the influence of Dao voices, Dao rhythms, and Dao techniques. However, now that the killing array had been formed and the blood mist was everywhere, this place had become a land of death.

“The killing array has taken shape, and the celestial ascension path is blocked. If we don’t break this array, we have no hope of ascending.”

Holy Leader Yuanming, Holy Leader Chiyan, Sect Leader Ziyang, Holy Monk Sanzang, and several other experts started to work together, trying to break this deadly trap.
