Chapter 1580: Chapter 616: The Descent of a Divine Being
After coming out, he finally decided to take action after much thought, and sent an avatar to Dongyang Mountain to fulfill the appointnt with Shi Junyang.
After all, Shi Junyang had wanted to et him five thousand years ago, but it had been postponed until now, which was rather helpless.
However, although Lu Yuan wanted to et Shi Junyang, it was not sothing that could happen just by wishing it.
He had been cultivating in seclusion for these years, and Shi Junyang had not been slacking off either; both were diligent and hardworking, with no one wasting ti idly.
Despite being Heavenly Immortals, their theoretical lifespans were infinite.
Now, after having waited for Lu Yuan for a while and seeing him beco a Heavenly Immortal without erging from seclusion, Shi Junyang stopped waiting and chose to close off for cultivation too.
Now, he had been in seclusion for over three thousand years.
Given the lengthy lifespan of a Heavenly Immortal, it was unknown how much longer the other party would remain in seclusion.
Lu Yuan would have to wait for Shi Junyang to co out of seclusion to et him.
But he wasn’t in a hurry. If he had to wait, he would wait; he wasn’t short on ti.
After making a trip to Dongyang Mountain and informing them that he wished to et with the Great Immortal Grandmaster, Lu Yuan patiently waited.
And during this wait, Shi Junyang had yet to arrive, and his avatars each ca to their end one by one.
It started with the oldest, Qing Guanzi, Yi Dancheng, and Che Shidao, who reached the end of their lifespans successively. Upon reaching ten thousand years of age, their Dao Fruits were reclaid by the Heavenly Path.
When they were reclaid, Lu Yuan watched from the side.
He personally witnessed how his avatars were harvested by the Heavenly Path, and his heart was greatly alard.
The thods of the Heavenly Path were truly unfathomable.
At that age, one would suddenly die without a sound. Simultaneously with their deaths, the Dao Fruits of the several avatars also vanished.
Even with his current strength, he could not see through the mysteries.
Compared to the Heavenly Path, even as a Heavenly Immortal, one was truly far behind.
Like a firefly against the bright moon or a drop of water against the vast sea, the difference was unknowable.
Having witnessed this scene, Lu Yuan’s resolve beco ever firr.
With his current strength, facing the Heavenly Path, he was no different from those avatars and would similarly have no power to resist.
Now, claiming to live a carefree life with infinite lifespan, but in truth, it was nothing more than self-deception within a bounded land.
No matter how carefree and leisurely his current days seed,
Should he beco careless and draw the attention of the Heavenly Path, and its might descended, he would not escape death.
A life of hiding and skulking was not what he wanted.
Nor was this true carefreeness or true ease.
To gain true carefreeness and true ease, one would need to possess absolute strength—at the very least, the strength to confront the Heavenly Path head-on, or to completely break away from it, leaving behind the cage that is the Immortal Realm.
Otherwise, he would still be a bird in a cage, his life in the hands of others, without freedom.
What other Heavenly Immortals thought, Lu Yuan was not sure.
But he imagined that having reached this point, each of them must be of strong resolve, even if they did not dare to forsake everything and reincarnate for re-cultivation as he did.
Deep down, they would likely also be unwilling to accept such circumstances.
Heavenly Immortals closing off for cultivation for thousands or even tens of thousands of years—is a minor world truly that entertaining?
Certainly not.
They were nominally developing worlds, but in reality, they were hiding within them, earnestly cultivating in secret, contemplating how to transcend, right?
Posed with this realization, Lu Yuan continued his fusion work in the little world while waiting.
After becoming a Heavenly Immortal, witnessing the vastness of the Heavenly Path made his sowhat complacent heart urgent once again.
During his ti in seclusion, the avatars left outside, following Qing Guanzi and others, also passed away one after another.
First was Jin Qingyue and Jade Brocade, followed by the later ones who gradually died.
A thousand years passed, and not a single avatar was left behind.
The Soul Splittings of the nine avatars, having lost their Dao Fruits and Immortal Artifacts, all returned to the original being.
Seeing this, he temporarily halted his work and once again erged from seclusion. He then opened the storerooms of the Taiping Dao and selected so materials to create two new avatars.
There was no choice; Taiping Dao had only just been established and needed a Heavenly Immortal like him to keep watch to avoid any mishaps.
He had no ti to watch over the sect, but making a few avatars to help monitor was not an issue.
With the Cultivation of Heavenly Immortal and the current foundation of Taiping Dao, creating new avatars was naturally much more lavish than before.
He nearly exhausted the entire storeroom to create two avatars with the realm of Late-stage Earth Immortal Grand cultivator.
Two Grand cultivator avatars, even disregarding that they represented Lu Yuan, could easily suppress the newly arisen Taiping Dao based on their own strength.
Within the entire Donghua Continent, there were no more than twenty Grand cultivators, and within Taiping Dao, even more so, not a single one due to its recent rise.
Having such two avatars to oversee the sect was more than enough.
After spending a few months to create the avatars, he casually nad them Qing Xuan and Qingyun, appointed both as Deputy School Leaders, and Lu Yuan returned to seclusion.
This period of seclusion lasted another two thousand years.
While expediting the fusion of Dao Fruits, Lu Yuan also kept an eye on the humans migrating within the world.
He saw that after several thousand years, the population of mortals had grown from the original few hundred thousand to several hundred million.
The footsteps of mortals began to cover the entire world.
