Chen Xuan casually replied.
Celestial Suppression Flag!
Both Xia Zhuyuan and Zhang Mu were shocked.
Because after the two words "Celestial Suppression" were written, they clearly saw a group of God Celestials roaming the great void being suppressed by the flag and unable to raise their heads.
At the same time, they seemed to see a ray of holy light that destroyed everything.
"With the words Celestial Suppression, this flag is comparable to a celestial artifact."
Zhang Mu could not believe it.
"I'm giving you these two words to tell you that even though you shoulder heavy responsibilities, you must still press forward with indomitable will and have the spirit to suppress celestials. You must be fearless," Chen Xuan lectured.
He had just seen Xia Zhuyuan cry.
She didn't have it easy. If he didn't give her some positive energy, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Senior, I understand," Xia Zhuyuan nodded. She had already guessed the senior's true intention, "Celestial Suppression... Women are not inferior to men. It seems that senior Chen intends to let me participate in the Central Region's Dao discussion conference and take on the responsibility of the Wu Dynasty!"
Just before today, Xia Zhuyuan had still been considering whether to participate in the Central Region's Dao discussion conference.
But now, her decision was clear and her faith was exceptionally firm.
"I, Zhuyuan, will not let you down. Zhang Mu, let's go."
For a time, undercurrents surged in the Central Region.
The Dao discussion conference started quietly, the people behind it still unknown.
All that one knew was that the various factions were all moving swiftly.
In Yuanming Holy Land, Holy Leader Yuanming stood up, "The Dao discussion conference has begun. As the leader of a Holy Land in the Central Region, I have no reason not to attend. All the cultivators who are Martial Venerables and above in the Holy Land shall come with me."
All the factions were moving quickly.
Meanwhile, on Xiangya Mountain, many cultivators had already rushed over.
"The Central Region has not held a Dao discussion conference for a thousand years. It's a blessing for us to be born in the same era at the right time."
"That's right. I heard that all the participants of the Dao discussion conference this time are Martial Saints and Martial Gods. There are even several quasi-celestials. I even heard that celestials from various Holy Lands are also coming."
"What? Even the celestials of the Holy Lands will be coming?"
"That's right. Don't you know that during the Dao discussion in the Holy Land, there's a chance that the celestial ascension Dao domain will be opened when thousands of cultivators use their Dao will?"
"Once the celestial ascension Dao domain is opened, celestials in the Dao Entry realm can directly ascend to the heavens. As for quasi-Celestials, War Gods, Martial Gods, and the like, although they can't ascend, they can use the celestial ascension Dao domain to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Just listening to it can compare to a hundred years of cultivation."
"For the weaker ones like us, listening to the celestials' Dao discussion is the greatest opportunity. It's worth ten years of cultivation. At the very least, even if our cultivation is poor, it's good to get to know the big shots from all over the world."
"This is why the conference can attract so many cultivators."
"I understand. Celestials who have entered the Dao Entry realm come to ascend, quasi-celestials come to advance to the Dao Entry realm, and the rest of the cultivators come to meet experts, expand their connections, or improve their cultivation after hearing the Dao."
"Yes, that's the logic."
"Then let's speed up our journey and try to get there as early as possible so that we can find a good spot on Xiangya Mountain where we can watch the celestials' Dao discussion from a closer distance."
"Let's go."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Streams of light flew past quickly, heading towards Xiangya Mountain.
Xiangya Mountain was the place where the Dao discussion conference was to be held.
...
The Wu Dynasty, Tianyou County, Dugu Clan.
In a pavilion, Patriarch Dugu was looking at a scroll with a hundred elites.
The scroll had been mounted with gold embellishments and had incense burning before it.
Looking closely at the scroll, it was an incomplete mountain and river painting.
The mountain on it was Guizu Mountain, and the river was the Wei River. The mountain and the river represented the entire Wu Dynasty.
However, if one looked up at the clouds, one would realize that the entire world was above the clouds.
At a certain moment, Patriarch Dugu's eyes suddenly flew open.
His shattered Dao heart quickly condensed, and a ray of light descended from the sky.
Two months after his Dao heart had been born, Patriarch Dugu had managed to condense his Dao heart again.
Whoosh!
Patriarch Dugu opened his eyes and took a step forward. His white hair and beard turned into fine black hair.
"After two months, I've finally stepped into the Dao Entry realm again!"
The black-haired Patriarch Dugu looked at the mountain and river painting with gratitude in his eyes, "Sure enough, everything was in the senior's plan, from the shattering of my Dao heart to reaching the Dao Entry realm again, as well as the turmoil in the outside world, and the present Dao discussion conference of the Central Region."
Patriarch Dugu woke up because he sensed the Heavenly Dao again.
Somehow, rather than saying that the Heavenly Dao was guiding him, it was more appropriate to say that it was senior Chen's guidance that had woken him up.
"Therefore, it's not a coincidence that I woke up as the conference is about to commence. Everything that senior Chen talked about with me when we discussed Dao was also not a coincidence. Everything was arranged by the senior... Everything is destined."
After waking up this time, Patriarch Dugu was quite emotional.
"Children, please stop. I'm taking this painting with me."
Buzz.
With a wave of his hand, the mountain and river painting returned to his sleeve.
"Patriarch, what are you doing?"
"Is the Dao discussion conference of the Central Region about to start?"
"Yes, cultivators from all regions are gathering. I heard that Xiangya Mountain is full. Patriarch, since you woke up at this time, are you going to attend the conference? "
"Yes, I am. Everything was arranged by senior Chen," Patriarch Dugu said, "I have to go."
With that, he took a step forward and disappeared.
The members of the Dugu family kowtowed in unison, their hearts filled with excitement. The patriarch didn't make it in time for the war between the Wu Dynasty and the Tianmo Sect, but today's Dao discussion conference in the Central Region must not be without their patriarch. Patriarch, they would wait for his return.
...
On Xiangya Mountain, cultivators were gathered and it was bustling.
Those who could reach the top of the mountain were either War Gods or Celestials. Those who could reach the middle of the mountain were Martial Venerables and Martial Saints. Those below the rank of Martial Venerables could only watch from the foot of the mountain.
Thousands of cultivators discussed the Dao.
Buddhists, Confucians, and Daoists all expressed their opinions.
A hundred schools of thought discussed Dao, and the sound of Dao was endless like the chants of the Great Dao, as well as the singing of Buddhism, and the roar of the world.
Under the Dao will of the million cultivators, purple thunder rumbled in the sky. The heavenly tribulation was vast and mighty. Under the endless heavenly might, a purple vortex of lightning that was visible to the naked eye formed. In the vortex, the million of cultivators on Xiangya Mountain seemed to see a heavenly palace.
"That's!"
"The celestial world!"
"The Dao wills of a million cultivators have gathered and opened the celestial ascension Dao domain."
"How magnificent, how majestic."
"That is the celestial world!"
Countless cultivators looked forward to it.
The celestials at the peak of Xiangya Mountain flew in excitement.
"The time to ascend has come. Everyone, I'll take my leave first!"
Holy Leader Chiyan put his hands behind his back and soared. He withstood the lightning tribulation and headed straight for the celestial ascension Dao domain.
