"'The Great Dao has fifty strands, and the heaven march forty-nine.' You should all be aware of this saying." Old Master Ju changed to a more comfortable position of Shufu County, addressing everyone.

"The number of Daoist Laws is indefinite; there isn't a fixed value. Everyone can find Laws, and everyone can create Laws."

Although Old Master Ju's voice still sounded whimpery, to Liang Yi and the others, it inexplicably carried an air of solemn gravity.

For Old Master Ju was voicing the profound sounds of the Great Dao itself.

As listeners, whether Liang Yi, Su Youyi, or Zhou Yuqing, were either genius talents or highly advanced in cultivation, even if what Old Master Ju said was somewhat vague, they could still understand.

"Articles are made in heaven spontaneously, and a master hand happens upon them."

The same is true for Laws; only when someone believes a path can be taken and walks it, does it become a Daoist path of becoming an immortal, which is recognized by the prime Law of 'Heavenly Dao.'

The three immortals of the Taoist Sect initially continued the paths that the predecessors had not completed and brought them to unprecedented heights.

"That Buddhist ancestor, seeing the suffering of sentient beings and harboring great compassion, established a mighty foundation and created the 'Buddha's Path,' a new path that no one had ever walked before."

"Born from a hatred for the Abyss, this path was designed to oppose the Abyss from the moment it was created," said Old Master Ju, casually pulling out a little fish jerky and tossing it into his mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing it.

"However, pioneering a new path is not a simple task, let alone such a path that could be passed down through the ages; in the end, that Buddhist ancestor died young, established Zen Dharma, and recorded it before passing away under the Bodhi Tree."

"Why did this path not emerge until the Second Epoch?" Su Youyi was somewhat puzzled. After being created in the First Epoch, could it be that it wasn't discovered until the Second Epoch?

"Alas, that Buddhist ancestor's fate was a bit tragic," Old Master Ju sighed regretfully.

"Although he created the Dharma, at that time, Mystical Mechanism Continent in the First Epoch had already suffered great devastation, and not many survived."

"So, the Buddhist ancestor preserved the Dharma and after his passing under the Bodhi Tree, he handed the first relic born of his Buddhist nature to the Daoist Immortal to help seal the Abyss, meow."

Though Old Master Ju's words were light, the history behind them shocked Liang Yi and the others.

"Does that mean, during the First Epoch, other Cultivators had no choice but to ally with the Abyss to survive?" Clenching her fist, Su Youyi's expression turned slightly sour as she pondered the grand era that had to end this way.

"It's not that there was no other way; it's that they were unwilling."

Before Old Master Ju could speak, Liang Yi's voice came from the side.

Old Master Ju glanced at Liang Yi and nodded slowly: "So many Cultivators from the Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm, and figures of the level of the three Taoist Sect immortals. If they didn't wish to die, who could kill them? It's simply a matter of choosing what to do and what not to do, meow."

"So this time, we must defeat the Abyss, meow!" Old Master Ju declared with a determined face, cutting straight to the point.

"The responsibility is great, and the path is long," Zhou Yuqing stood up and murmured softly.

"There must be a way," Liang Yi, for his part, had some confidence.

The biggest difference in this epoch from the previous two was the appearance of players. With billions of players possessing Undying Bodies, it was a fool's dream for the Abyss to think of destroying the continent again from the grassroots level.

"Talking more now is useless, you should first improve your strength, meow," Old Master Ju waved his paw, signaling Liang Yi to move aside and not block his sunlight.

But even as Liang Yi moved away, the vast shadow still blocked the busy light from the sky.

"Hm?" Liang Yi and Su Youyi sensed something amiss and looked up, only to see an upside-down mountain peak in the sky.

"Boom!"

A small mountain-like fire dragon silently roared out of the sea of clouds, charging straight towards that mountain peak. Only then did Liang Yi and the others see that there was actually a figure standing atop the mountain.

"Senior brother, it's two Cultivators of the Sixth Realm fighting with their Daoist Skills; it seems they are both Daoist Practitioners," Su Youyi squinted her eyes and quickly determined the strength of these two.

"Hmm... Are we accidentally caught up in this?" Liang Yi covered his forehead with his hand in agitation, wondering why such an incident would happen just above them.

"Do you want me to step in and throw them aside?" A wisp of flame appeared on Zhou Yuqing's fingertips, his gaze intensely focused on the battle unfolding in the sky.

As for moving away and dodging the scene?

Sorry, that option simply did not exist in Zhou Yuqing's mind.

Liang Yi originally wanted to persuade Zhou Yuqing, because they had more important tasks on hand and couldn't afford to waste too much time here.

But just then, both Liang Yi and Su Youyi's expressions changed, their attention drawn to the Cultivator commanding the fire dragon.

Could it be someone from Devouring Spirit Sect?

"Lu Shanxing, is that all you've got, trying to kill me like this?" An extremely arrogant and piercing voice came from behind the fire dragon.

"Zhang Youting, you're still being hunted by us, and yet you're still trying to figure out how to kill me?" A steady, though not calm, male voice came from within the mountain.

Liang Yi and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man dressed in misty white robes, robust to the extent that his clothes could barely cover him, yet maintaining an elegant demeanor.

"Is that the True Disciple of Senluo Wanxiang Sect, Lu Shanxing?" Su Youyi looked up in surprise. She didn't expect that they would encounter such an incident just as they entered the territory of Senluo Wanxiang Sect, but wasn't Lu Shanxing only at Great Perfection of the Fifth Realm?

"Senluo Wanxiang Sect's True Disciple is being counter-killed on his home ground?" Liang Yi watched briefly and roughly understood the situation, smiling wryly to himself.

Lu Shanxing was supposed to be pursuing the fugitive of Devouring Spirit Sect, Zhang Youting, as ordered by his sect, and he was not the only one chasing down the Cultivator. However, for some reason, this True Disciple ended up alone.

Also at the Sixth Realm, Zhang Youting was clearly in the mid or even late stage, while Lu Shanxing, though also powerful, had only just entered the Sixth Realm. He was not yet stable, as evidenced by his somewhat fluctuating aura.

"Zhang Youting is really bold, meow," Old Master Ju also enjoyed the spectacle while munching on his fish jerky.

"Aren't you planning to help?" Zhou Yuqing asked casually, seeing Liang Yi and the others so composed, and retracted the flame from his fingertips.

"We'll definitely rescue him, but not just yet," Liang Yi smiled lightly.

For now, although Lu Shanxing is at a disadvantage, he's still lively and unharmed. If one wants to maximize gratitude, it's necessary to intervene at the most critical moment.
