Chapter 1889: Silver Threads Drape the Void
d, participated in the secret market, and left Yinshan Pass.Treasures abound, with climaxes constantly rising.The cultivators' emotions had been stirred.As the auction neared its end, the treasures be..."Behold, the Demon Slayer!"
When the great masters of the two altars met on the white stone platform, they both showed delight and bowed respectfully to Kun Dao.
Kun Dao and Zhang Zhenjun are both正二品 (high-ranking officials) of the Nine Heavens Golden Que, serving as Jiutian Fu Mo Shi (Demon Subduers of the Nine Heavens) in the Dao Court. They are in charge of the Beigu Driving Evil Division.
Both of them looked visibly weak. The short time spent summoning the deity had exhausted them greatly, and they were struggling to hold on.
Just now, as I sat in meditation, there was a strange phenomenon. Both of us sensed it and knew it was a sign of breakthrough.
The True Monarch came out of seclusion too quickly, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy. At this moment, seeing the True Monarch, they let out a long sigh of relief.
The true monarch just broke through, his aura is unstable. Even they could feel it, the true monarch's cultivation is not what it used to be, he has broken through successfully!
>
Kun Dao nodded slightly at them, tapped the ground lightly with his foot, and flew into the air. His eyes were filled with divine light, and his gaze swept across the battlefields in the north and south, paying special attention to several powerful figures, including Ji Zhenjing.
Very true and peaceful.
As she transformed into the female consort of the Taiyin Yuanjun, her power surged dramatically, but it also brought upon her unimaginable shocks and pain that mortals couldn't comprehend.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This kind of pain doesn't just come from the immense power far exceeding one's own cultivation forcibly being instilled, but also from the impact on one's primordial spirit and will.
Calling upon a deity is a great test for a shapeshifter.
If one's mental state is weak and willpower insufficient, even a high-ranking talisman god can only do their best to maintain their own rationality. They are fundamentally incapable of controlling such power.
For this reason, Taoism places great emphasis on cultivating the disciple's character. From initiation to receiving the Daoist robes and even in daily practice afterward, adherence to Daoist precepts is required.
The most common are the Three Jewels, Five Precepts, and Twelve Great Vows. Many Taoist schools also have unique precepts specific to their lineage, such as the Nine Precepts of Xiang'er, the Twenty-Four Precepts of Mingzhen, and even up to Three Hundred Great Precepts!
The Taoist school believes that in the mundane world, one is easily attached to the six emotions and obsessed with the five desires. This leads to inner turmoil and confusion, as well as a chaotic and impure external environment.
Observing precepts and rules, abstaining from what is forbidden without committing evil deeds, can not only temper the Dao heart but also refine goodness, accumulate virtue, and merit.
The female crown, as a great person, naturally had an unyielding heart and endured the impact.
Her delicate frame was still trembling, her fists clenched tight, the blue veins on her arms prominent as she struggled to contain the immense power within.
"Roar!"
Outside the city, a tiger roared, its voice like thunder.
The Taoist cultivators who had ventured outside the city walls had already retreated back into the city, using the city walls as a barrier to cast spells and slay the beast tide outside.
Outside the city, blood flowed like a river, and the corpses of ferocious beasts piled up like mountains. But the beasts were endless, stepping over their fallen comrades' bodies, frantically crashing against the city walls.
The city wall was protected by a powerful defensive formation, its surface shimmering with a layer of golden light, as solid as gold.
When this tiger's roar came, the beast tide's offensive noticeably slowed down, but the Daoist cultivators inside the city showed no joy, instead their faces were full of fear as they looked out at the city.
Outside the city, yellow smoke billowed and rolled. In the smoke, a ferocious tiger with its head held high smashed through mountain after mountain as it ran swiftly towards them. On top of the last peak, it leaped into the air.
The mountain peak crumbled.
The ferocious tiger leaped into the air, its blood-stained maw wide open, roaring as it charged towards the immortal city, completely ignoring the city's void-filling formation.
Even though they were separated by the Immortal City and the great formation, everyone could clearly feel the terrifying aura of the ferocious tiger.
The cultivators of the Dao shuddered in fear. The demons performed even worse, each one restless and uneasy. Some even trembled violently and knelt down. If it weren't for the strict laws binding them, they would have scattered immediately.
At this time, the pain on the maiden's face lessened slightly, and the power within her finally stabilized.
She raised her right hand, her fingers gently gliding through the empty air, and her water sleeves danced with her slender jade hand.
With fingertips imbued with spirit, wherever they pass, they leave behind trails of moonlight.
In a moment, a divine talisman appeared.
This divine talisman is called the Taiyin Mirror Talisman. In the past, female practitioners had to make thorough preparations beforehand and chant complex incantations to barely wield it, and even then, success was not guaranteed.
At this time, she painted in mid-air, divine talismans appearing instantaneously!
With a jade hand flipped, she gently patted the divine talisman.
The ferocious tiger was close at hand, about to pounce into the fairy city. Its two front paws were incredibly thick, like two giant stone pillars, smashing towards the city wall!
All the cultivators could see with their own eyes the terrifying ferocity in the tiger's eyes and the sharp claws at the end of its paws, all of them terrified.
'Whoosh!'
The divine talisman transformed into a stream of light, shooting towards outside the city and halting in front of the ferocious tiger.
The next moment, the stream of light suddenly burst forth, like a full moon.
The moonlight was dazzling, and there was indeed a full moon in the sky, hanging high above the fierce tiger. It resembled a mirror, reflecting the tiger's figure.
The tiger’s roar suddenly ceased, its fierce eyes shifting from the fairy city to the Taiyin Mirror talisman. Its fur stood on end.
It felt a strange, binding power from the mirror, as if it were going to pull it into the glass.
However, the threat brought by Taiyin Mirror's aura was far less than that of Pojun Sword's sword shadow.
The fierce tiger, facing the Taiyin mirror talisman, showed no signs of retreat. It let out a more powerful roar, and its paw, which was originally about to smash into the fairy city, lashed out and struck the treasure mirror fiercely.
'Bang!'
The precious mirror trembled violently.
It actually blocked this attack!
Before the crowd could cheer, there was a sound of 'crack crack crack' as tiger claws wildly pounded the mirror.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Cracks soon appeared on the magic mirror, and the sound of shattering echoed into the fairy city, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
The maiden's breath quickened, she took a step forward, hovering above the city wall. Her arms rose, and the protective barrier surrounding the city erupted in blinding gold light.
Even when transformed into the Taiyin Yuanjun, possessing power comparable to a True Monarch, she was no match for the ferocious tiger. Moreover, her divine power would gradually dissipate, and she still needed to rely on a grand formation to defend the city.
At the same time, Taoist cultivators realized what they should do and, under the leadership of figures like Master Ruquan, formed a defensive line to assist the female celestial being.
Mirror broken!
The ferocious tiger let out a deafening roar, charging forward with all its might, crashing headfirst into the Immortal City.
'Boom!'
The earth trembled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The city wall was struck and a crack appeared, numerous buildings within the city collapsed, and many Daoist cultivators were blown away.
The female cultivator cast numerous divine talismans, solidifying the great formation.
The ferocious tiger was near frenzy. Its attack was straightforward, its head like an iron hammer, relentlessly smashing against the city wall's barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The big formation was tottering.
The cultivators inside the city turned pale.
The female cultivator exerted all her effort, protecting the immortal city below and the Taoist disciples behind her.
'Wow!'
The maiden suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her figure staggered, causing a wave of gasps.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Farewell, true person!"
When Master Quan saw this, he was greatly astonished and flew up to hold the young woman.
The woman shook her head, pushed away the Realperson of Ruquan, swallowed a pill, and continued to cast spells.
Everything is reflected in the Kun Dao's eyes.
She darted between the two Grand Masters, holding the White Stone Treatment Merit Seal, and softly said, "Take the Elixir."
The sound spread through the main hall and reached all the side halls.
And the ancestral temple of Zhongmao, as well as the Jingtan and Zongtan under the jurisdiction of the Tianshu Yuan, could all be heard.
The Dao court is originally one entity. As long as the main controller allows it, other controllers can also take over the management of the Dao court.
The Kun Dao incorporates the dual governance of Taoism into its rule and spreads it throughout the world!
Including the two great immortals who presided over the Zhongmao Temple, all the cultivators who hosted various altars heard the true monarch's decree and were overjoyed. They all obeyed the order, took the elixir, and spared no time to recover.
Then Kun Dao drew out a wooden sword, three feet long, forged from an unknown type of spiritwood. The crimson blade bore distinct wood grain, and at its hilt hung a tassel.
This is a Taoist sword, often used during ritual ceremonies. It can be used to summon divine warriors, exorcise evil spirits and demons, and even break prison bars and guide souls to the afterlife.
"Whoosh!"
Kun Dao raised his sword, pointing it toward the sky.
Soaring through the heavens, flames blaze, and divine dew is manipulated.
A faint chanting sound rose.
The Bai Shi Zhi's Seal of Spirit Light flickered before Kun Dao, and the dharma platform in the Hall of Conferring Official Attire responded with a golden glow.
At the same time, similar visions appeared in Buddhist circles throughout the two realms.
The monks who were presiding over the Dharma assembly were still refining the dan force within their bodies. Seeing this, they were about to take action, but they sensed that this practice was different from before and wouldn't require them.
This practice requires only the True Monarch and esteemed Great Immortals to mobilize all the power of the Daoist altars under their jurisdiction!
The sword of law pointed into the void, where runes shone brightly. Each rune was as large as a fighting man's shield, with heaven and earth serving as its paper.
‘Whoosh!’
The Kun Dao sword points to the East Pole.
> The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
A swift turn westward, followed by a movement north and south.
"Southern swirling fire house, Northern turning River's leader."
The incantation resonates with divine power, soaring straight to the ethereal heavens.
>
Finally, Kun Dao raised his sword to the sky once more. Divine talismans in the void burned, flames spread through the emptiness, and finally transformed into a streak of light that shot towards the heavens.
"Summon the dragons to bring rain, and when the talisman arrives, chase it swiftly!"
The spell is complete.
Suddenly, the battlefield became turbulent.
Thunder roared.
This is a test. Please provide me with more text to translate!
The cultivators who were stubbornly holding their ground in Xiancheng raised their heads. They saw that the sky above had been shrouded in dark clouds at some point, even obscuring the bright moon.
‘Whew! Whew!’
The clouds gathered more and more, a heavy rain was imminent.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
It’s not the only fairy city to experience this phenomenon. The Dao Court, both in its double governance and Mount Zhen, from the north to the south, wherever areas are under attack by beast hordes, dark clouds gather.
A heavy sense of oppression permeated the battlefield.
‘Boom boom boom!’
Dark clouds are rolling in.
Some people noticed that above the flashing lightning, there seemed to be figures of people. Those figures were fierce and menacing, their features unclear. They rode the clouds and mist, just like gods descending to earth.
Some held lightning drills, striking them incessantly. The drills spat out bolts of lightning.
Some were clutching huge pockets, their mouths wide open, with a howling wind.
Some hold a clay jar, pouring out an endless stream of water, which turns into clouds.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"They are heavenly soldiers!"
"Please summon the gods to aid us, True Lord!"
Here's the translated text:
Some uninformed cultivators cheered.
This is another way to summon deities besides divination. The Kun Dao's line of talismans transmits orders, summoning celestial beings and mobilizing the power of the divine court and talisman spirits, greatly enhancing the power of the talismans.
She is currently using a talisman called the Rain Summoning Talisman. It sounds very ordinary, but it has:
Thor calls lightning.
Feng Bo drums up the wind.
The rainmaster brings the rain!
As dark clouds gathered, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the battlefield was swallowed by them. Spiritual tides surged crazily into the clouds, making the phantom figures within appear even more mysterious.
'Wow!'
A torrential downpour swept across the battlefield.
This rain is extraordinary.
Raindrops falling on the enemy are like swords and blades, but falling on one's own cultivators, they are like sweet dew.
>
The torrential rain lashed the battlefield.
Under the curtain of rain, countless ferocious beasts met their demise.
The Daoist cultivators were like they had taken elixirs, not only were their injuries and pain relieved, but their Qi Hai (Dantian) was also nourished.
Ji Zhenjing and others received special care.
A downpour as torrential as a waterfall from the Milky Way cascaded down. The woman in white bathed in the rain, her face flushed with a hint of crimson. In contrast, outside the city walls, a ferocious tiger was pounded by the cascading water, frantically shaking its head and writhing in pain. Finally, it abandoned its assault on the wall, spewing yellow clouds to shield itself from the storm.
For a moment, the Taoist faction's momentum surged greatly!
>
On the battlefield, the grim situation received a temporary reprieve. This support was especially valuable for the precarious Sanji.
Kun Dao sheathed his sword and stood still. His eyes shifted, and he suddenly fixed his gaze on the direction of Okasan Ji.
In the Great Sage's Mansion.
A demon king was pounding the Ming Yao drum, inexplicably feeling a chill in his heart.
Other demon kings around also felt a chill run down their spines and were terrified.
Fortunately, this ominous feeling passed quickly.
Kun Dao did not attack Da Sheng Mansion, nor did he seize the Ming Yao Drum. His gaze shifted and looked towards the outside of Nan Tian Gate.
At this very moment, Tian Yueshang and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon are locked in a fierce battle. Sword light and golden flames clash, creating a chaotic scene.
Heaven's Chosen warrior fought alone with his sword, against the five-clawed golden dragon of the transformed God Empress, and the demonic formations within the Great Saint Mansion.
He firmly blocked the enemy's path, and every time the five-clawed golden dragon charged, he repelled it with his sword.
But it also paid a painful price.
Only the sky was up to his face, as pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. But he still exuded an air of majesty, standing firm before the South Heaven Gate, like a guardian deity!
The two True Ones were powerless to conceal the momentum of their breakthrough, already detected by the five-clawed golden dragon in the heavens.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon went even crazier, rolling up golden flames and demonic thunder, charging recklessly toward Tian Yue Shang Ren.
Kun Dao dared not move rashly at this time, and could only divide part of the power of the rain talisman to help Tian Yue ascend.
Her gaze continued upward, passing through the Nantian Gate and into the Divine Court.
She saw immortal mountains and divine halls, and streaks of light chasing each other between the halls.

His gaze lingered on Qin Sang for a moment, then continued upward, passing over the Nine Heavens and Nine Terraces, the Lei Zu Palace, and the Shenxiao Shanggong, until it reached something even higher above.
There, the profound night sky, which should have been tranquil and silent, was stirred by the birth of the divine court, causing ripples.
And in the depths of boundless emptiness, circles of ripples appeared.
Like ripples gently rippling, the waves gradually expand, their range growing wider and wider. At the center of the waves, a silvery glow suddenly appears.
Then, a silver thread descended from the heavens, probing into this world.
The silver thread was thin and translucent, like an ordinary fishing line. With a gentle flick at the front end, it created ripples in the void and plummeted downwards at incredible speed, its target being the Divine Court!
In the blink of an eye, the silver thread front descended upon the divine court, paused for a moment, and then plummeted down!

'Boom!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The South Heaven Gate was shaking violently.
Kun Dao's expression changed drastically.
Within the Divine Court.
This is a test.
Qin Sang is on the run.
Two demon kings pursued and intercepted him. He relied on teleportation again and again to survive in the face of death.
But this is not a long-term solution. Even if Qin Sang could persevere himself, the Heavenly Sentinel Prohibition was reaching its limits.
The golden dragon pulling the carriage, its form was becoming increasingly translucent. Now one could still faintly see the outline of its scales, but with a few more trips, it would probably only be a shadow of a dragon left.
Until this time, no reinforcements from the Taoist sect were seen.
Qin Sang slipped into a temple. The light barrier outside the temple was broken in an instant, and he had to flee after catching his breath. His expression was numb, and he was almost desperate.
This time, unlike when he had faced crises before, he was utterly helpless, unable to think of a way to escape the clutches of the two demon kings.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Boom!
>
Before escaping, Qin Sang suddenly discovered that the temple's tremor this time was unusual.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thinking that reinforcements had arrived, Qin Sang rekindled hope and fled. However, he soon realized it wasn't the case.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
The source of the vibration is above!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, Qin Sang and the two demon kings, as well as the demon gods who had broken the seal in Leicheng, all felt something in their hearts and looked up at the sky.
Above the Divine Court, ripples spread, and suddenly a silver thread pierced through the barrier of the Divine Court!
(The End)"We are all cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. Unless there are very special circumstances, those prestigious sects would not accept us. If they had a purpose, they wouldn't pass through the Questi...
