Yi Shuihan could sense the Xiandao Sect's hostility towards him. If he didn't answer well, it was unlikely that they would take direct action, since they had to consider the Dao Creation Emperor. They would definitely use some underhanded tricks to embarrass Yi Shuihan and his group.

"Senior brother has gained some insights into cultivation and has gone into seclusion. I estimate that he may be about to break through. I figured that you, Emperor Lieyang, probably wouldn't want your own advancement ceremony to delay your senior brother's breakthrough, so I didn't disturb him."

If Emperor Lieyang were to deny this, it would mean that in his eyes, others' breakthroughs were not as important as his own advancement ceremony, which would incur public wrath. However, if he did not deny it, it would mean that he had no reason to continue causing trouble.

After staring intently at Yi Shuihan for several seconds, the Emperor of the Blazing Sun smiled again.

"In that case, it's understandable. Hopefully, Ye Dongsheng will truly make a breakthrough and continue the ceremony!"

Yi Shuihan seemed to have passed this test on the surface, and the gift-giving continued. However, the next part of the gift-giving didn't feel the same as before, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

About half a day later, the gift-giving ceremony finally ended, which showed how many forces came to participate in this promotion ceremony and how many gifts they gave. Just from these gifts, the Xiandao Sect or the Lieyang Emperor would make a fortune. No wonder the Chaos Emperors who have promoted to the Dao Creation stage like to hold a promotion ceremony.

After the gift-giving ceremony, Emperor Lieyang began his sermon, which was the highlight of the ceremony.

Chapter 1374, Enlightenment Can Be Achieved After Ten Thousand Years

"Fire, the element of fire returns to one, burning to its utmost, it also gathers..."

Although Lieyang Huang's appearance did not conform to Yi Shuihan's aesthetic standards, his understanding of the Great Dao was genuine. His Daoist words shook the entire world, and even those who did not primarily cultivate the Dao of Fire were still awestruck by the Daoist intent within them.

The entire venue, and even the entire Xiandao Sect continent, fell silent as a result, with only the voice of the Blazing Sun Emperor echoing in the void.

The Creation of the Dao is only one level higher than the Enlightenment of the Dao, but the gap between them is greater than that between a True Saint and a Chaos Emperor. The Enlightenment of the Dao is still within the Dao, not having forged its own path, and still belonging to the myriad realms. The Creation of the Dao, on the other hand, has already taken the first step, a step beyond the myriad realms, and this step is of paramount importance.

"So that's how it can be done. There's another way to understand it. Hmm, if we look at it from a different angle..."

As Emperor Lieyang preached, some questions were readily answered, and many guests were able to break through on the spot. Of course, none of these breakthroughs resulted in major realms, and among the Chaos Emperors, there were not even any minor realm breakthroughs. However, at the True Saint level, many people broke through to a higher level in their understanding of the Dao.

There are countless paths to the Dao, but they all lead to the same destination. Just as stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade, after listening to Emperor Lieyang's explanation of the profound Dao, understanding other Daos will become much easier.

The exact number of guests who benefited is impossible to count, but seven or eight of Yi Shuihan's younger disciples have already broken through, which is a fairly high probability.

In terms of cultivation level, Emperor Lieyang was far inferior to Salama, who was already a Great Dao Emperor. However, the effect of his sermon this time was even better than when Salama personally preached in front of Yi Shuihan.

why?

Because this is the first time his Dao has appeared in all the heavens and myriad realms, the effect of the first appearance is naturally the best, with a certain blessing effect. As for what is blessing it, it is the united will that dominates all the heavens and myriad realms.

The world has a world will, and when the world will grows to a certain extent, it will evolve into the Heavenly Dao. After the Heavenly Dao comes the Great Dao. The united will of all the heavens and myriad worlds is the collection of the Great Dao, because it represents the collection of all the Daos that have appeared in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Every new Dao that emerges signifies the birth of a new Dao prototype in the myriad realms. This is a good thing for the myriad realms, as it enhances their overall strength. From this perspective, it's not hard to understand why Emperor Lieyang's sermon was so effective this time.

This is the will of all the heavens and myriad realms promoting the Blazing Sun Emperor; however, this kind of good deed will only happen once.

In fact, the reason why such promotion ceremonies can attract so many guests and make so many guests willingly bring generous gifts is largely due to this.

All top-tier powers know that the first lecture by a Creation Dao Realm cultivator is extraordinary. However, very few Creation Dao Realm cultivators would keep this opportunity to themselves. For example, does Emperor Lieyang not know that it would be better for his own Manifest Dao Sect disciples to attend the first lecture?

That would indeed be better, as it would ensure that only the Xiandao Sect would benefit the most, and would not simultaneously strengthen other forces as it is now.

Why didn't Emperor Lieyang do that?

The answer is simple: while doing so would be best for the Xiandao Sect, it wouldn't be the case for Emperor Lieyang himself.

To become a true Great Dao Emperor, the founder of the Dao needs to expand his Dao to the point that it is recognized by all the heavens and myriad realms. Therefore, the more guests who come to listen to his Dao, the faster the process will be. So, if the Blazing Sun Emperor chooses to digest the opportunity himself, it would be detrimental to his own interests.

What does it matter if the sect's interests are weakened a bit in front of the Great Dao Emperor? Anyway, he has already given so many gifts, so it can be considered compensation.

……

Emperor Lieyang's sermons lasted for three years. During these hundred years, Yi Shuihan and the other guests listened to the sermons without moving. It was fortunate that those who could come here were not ordinary beings, otherwise, just by not eating for three years, a large number of them would have been lying dead long ago.

For several days after Emperor Lieyang finished his sermon, all the guests remained immersed in the sermon, and it wasn't until the fifth day that the first person came to their senses.

Yi Shuihan regained consciousness on the sixth day; he wasn't among the first group, but it wasn't too late either.

"One can attain enlightenment within ten thousand years."

As soon as he regained consciousness, the thought naturally arose in his mind, and it was so strong that Yi Shuihan felt that his chances of success were almost one hundred percent.

No one would believe this feeling if it were told, as it's too absurd. Can a breakthrough really be achieved in ten thousand years? It would be more convincing if those ten thousand years were extended to a hundred million years, since ten thousand years is far too short for a Chaos Emperor.

Others may not believe it, but Yi Shuihan certainly believes it himself. In fact, before coming to Xiandao Sect, Yi Shuihan already had a similar spiritual sense, but at that time he felt that he could break through within a million years, and now it was just a little earlier.

Well, that's only 900,000 years earlier.

This trip to Yishuihan was very fruitful, but to be honest, it wasn't that great. After all, for a Chaos Emperor, a million years and ten thousand years are not that different, just like the difference between eating lunch at 11 am and eating lunch at 12 pm.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Yi Shuihan's terrifying talent, and upon closer examination, it's the power of the system.

Yi Shuihan's talent didn't come from nowhere. He was just an ordinary person at the beginning. His talent was commonplace, not to mention in all the myriad worlds. He owes his current talent entirely to the system.

Yi Shuihan rarely uses the system now, but in fact he uses it all the time. The system is actually his talent, and the stronger the system is, the stronger Yi Shuihan's talent will become.

Upon first implantation of the system, Yi Shuihan possessed a genius template. Subsequently, as the system updated time and again, his template was constantly changed, eventually growing into the peerless prodigy template that even the Great Dao Emperors would find astonishing.

After Emperor Lieyang finished his sermon, he left. This was mainly because everyone present was below him in cultivation level, and if he stayed, the atmosphere would become awkward.

At the Sun Emperor's ascension ceremony, representatives from various major forces were present, including Chaos Emperors at the first and second realms and True Saints. However, none of the others who were at the third realm as him were present.

In fact, once they reach the third realm, these Chaos Emperors do not discuss the Dao with each other, because they are all in the stage of making their own Dao flourish. Discussing the Dao with each other will not only not lead to progress, but will also lead to being tainted by other things, which will do more harm than good. Therefore, it is normal that the Sun Emperor's advancement ceremony did not include the third realm.

Chapter 1375, Unexpected Turn of Events on the Return Trip

Without the Blazing Sun Emperor, the atmosphere at the scene became similar to that day's exchange conference, except that this time, in addition to the Chaos Emperor, there were also quite a few True Saints.

Normally, given the power represented by Yi Shuihan and his group, there should have been many forces trying to curry favor with them at this time. However, after the gifts were given, very few people actually expressed goodwill towards Yi Shuihan.

It is the instinct of living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm. Now that we are trying to please Yi Shuihan and the others, who knows what Xiandao Sect will think? Besides, there is no rush. Why do we have to express our stance at this time?

Of course, those with forces behind them that are no less powerful than the Xiandao Sect don't need to care about these things. They have normal conversations with Yi Shuihan and don't care about the previous events at all.

Yi Shuihan disliked social engagements, but he wasn't so willful as to simply quit. After all, he wasn't representing himself right now.

The promotion ceremony was going to last for quite some time, but Yi Shuihan only stayed for a few days before leaving the venue and going to guard the place where his senior brother Ye Dongsheng was in seclusion.

The gift-giving incident ultimately offended the Xiandao Sect. Although on the surface they did not use any extreme methods and appeared quite magnanimous, Yi Shuihan could clearly sense the Xiandao Sect's rejection of them.

"Senior brother, you got to enjoy yourself, but you screwed me over. No way, this has to be made up for. As for what to make up for, hmm, let me think..."

Yi Shuihan, who was deep in thought with his chin in his hand, suddenly noticed a hand on his shoulder and jumped up in surprise.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you...?"

When Yi Shuihan jumped in surprise, Ye Dongsheng quickly raised his hand, so he was not hit by Yi Shuihan's jump.

"Brother, are you out of seclusion?"

Seeing Ye Dongsheng's flushed face, Yi Shuihan's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and then her expression turned worried.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Yi Shuihan's worried expression, Ye Dongsheng's heart tightened, and he quickly asked.

"Ugh!"

Without immediately answering Ye Dongsheng's question, Yi Shuihan sighed helplessly, looking at Ye Dongsheng who seemed hesitant to speak.

"What happened, junior brother? Tell me!"

"So fast."

Looking at the hands that were already on his shoulders, Yi Shuihan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't seen Ye Dongsheng make a single move before.

Seeing that Ye Dongsheng was indeed anxious, Yi Shuihan stopped pretending and instead recounted what had happened since he went into seclusion, in a narrative tone.

"call!"

After hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Ye Dongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that Yi Shuihan was deliberately retaliating against him, and looked at Yi Shuihan with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Knowing that his junior brother had no reason to force him to come out of seclusion, Ye Dongsheng was also very moved and naturally wouldn't blame Yi Shuihan for his special "performance".

"It was my fault. I didn't expect this seclusion to last so long. If I had known, I should have given everything to you."

"It's all in the past, why bring this up? What should we do now? Should we replace the missing items?"

"It will definitely be made up, after all, this is not their problem."

"Since things are already like this, why not just not do any more treatment? Even if we do, things probably won't get any better!"

Ye Dongsheng didn't speak, but looked at Yi Shuihan with a strange gaze, which puzzled Yi Shuihan.

In the end, Ye Dongsheng still went to make up for the missing gifts, but perhaps because Yi Shuihan's words had some effect, the missing gifts were not actually complete, and some precious items were intercepted.

After completing the formalities, Ye Dongsheng and Yi Shuihan did not stay at Xiandao Sect for long. After all, they were welcomed, and it would be a bit awkward to stay there. So, after saying goodbye to their friends, they left Xiandao Sect.

……

"This is……"

What appeared before Yi Shuihan were countless floating continental blocks, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was the densely packed demons on these continental blocks.

It had been about three years since they left Xiandao Sect, and they had only just begun their return journey when they encountered the disaster before them.

It truly deserves to be called a disaster; these continental blocks combined are actually a demonic lair, a moving demonic lair.

Yi Shuihan and his companions encountered the demon's lair. Both sides discovered each other at the same time, and then the demons rushed over frantically, trying to tear Yi Shuihan and his companions to pieces.

"Junior brother, you take Xiao Chi and the others and run towards Xiandao Sect. I'll hold them off for a while."

Ye Dongsheng made a decision in an instant, staying behind to cover their retreat.

"Senior brother, you lead them away, I'll stay here and hold them off for a while."

Yi Shuihan rejected Ye Dongsheng's suggestion. On the surface, it was indeed the right choice for Ye Dongsheng to stay. With his peak enlightenment level and the possibility of stepping into the creation of the Dao at any time, he was far stronger than Yi Shuihan, who was only seeking the Dao. Without Yi Shuihan and others as a burden, he was more confident in holding out for a while and escaping on his own.

In fact, even though Yi Shuihan's power was not as great as Ye Dongsheng's, he was more confident in his survival because he could directly use his personal world to teleport to his clone Taiyi.

"No, I'll stay. Trust me."

Ye Dongsheng, unaware of Yi Shuihan's trump card, directly refused and didn't give Yi Shuihan a chance to explain, instead charging straight into the demon horde.

"Uh!"

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Shuihan looked at his pitiful junior disciples around him and finally decided to lead them to retreat first.

"go!"

Propelling the flying boat with all its might, it transformed into a streak of light and sped forward.

Several days later, Yi Shuihan estimated that he had reached a relatively safe area. He left behind a clone with only 30% of his strength and headed towards the place where he had first encountered the demon's lair. He was going to rescue his senior brother.

"Senior brother, you must be alright."

Yi Shuihan prayed silently.

When Yi Shuihan arrived at the battlefield, he saw that familiar figure and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Dongsheng was alright, but he looked a bit disheveled, surrounded by demons and unable to break through.

"Junior brother, why are you back again? Don't worry about me, let's go."

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Ye Dongsheng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

"Why are you leaving? You two stay here!"

A figure that seemed to be both male and female echoed in the void, and Yi Shuihan was soon surrounded as well.

Chapter 1376, Super Teleportation

There were many powerful demons surrounding Yi Shuihan, including one whose aura clearly surpassed the Seeking Dao Realm and reached the Enlightenment Realm. In addition, there were more than ten demons comparable to the first realm of Chaos Emperor, the Seeking Dao Realm. Using this lineup to deal with Yi Shuihan, who was at the Seeking Dao Realm, was already a waste of his talents.

Yi Shuihan was able to remain calm. With his energy at full power, he could at least protect himself for a short time, if not win. Compared to when he fought Varus, Yi Shuihan was now more than a hundred times stronger, and he was not afraid of facing a weaker Wudao.

Ye Dongsheng was unaware of Yi Shuihan's true strength. Seeing Yi Shuihan surrounded, he was extremely anxious. He was moved by Yi Shuihan's act of returning to save him, but rationally he did not agree with Yi Shuihan's actions.

"Junior brother, you're being foolish!"

No, we absolutely cannot let them both stay here. I need to create opportunities for him.

After making a certain decision, Ye Dongsheng's aura suddenly surged, and then his combat power exploded, allowing him to break through the encirclement and stand before Yi Shuihan.

"Brother, you..."

Yi Shuihan really wanted to express his admiration for Ye Dongsheng, but he noticed that Ye Dongsheng's aura was unstable. He immediately deduced that Ye Dongsheng must have used some secret technique that was harmful to him.

A feeling of guilt arose in Yi Shuihan's heart. He knew that if he hadn't appeared here, Ye Dongsheng would never have used this secret technique, or at least not so quickly.

"You've already figured it out." Ye Dongsheng smiled gently at Yi Shuihan, his eyes showing no blame. It was more like the concern of an elder for a junior. Although they were nominally fellow disciples, in Ye Dongsheng's eyes, Yi Shuihan was actually more like a junior. His senior brother was over a hundred billion years older than Yi Shuihan. In his eyes, Yi Shuihan was just a child, even if this child was slightly stronger.

"Don't blame yourself. This is my own decision. As soon as there's an opening, escape on your own! Don't worry about me. I won't die. Trust me."

Ye Dongsheng said very seriously that he was not lying to Yi Shuihan. He really would not die. However, even if he did not die, the difficulty for him to advance to the Path of Creation would be ten million times greater than before. It could even be said that his chance of advancement would be basically cut off. By paying such a high price, he would have the opportunity to leave alive.

Ye Dongsheng didn't tell Yi Shuihan the consequences of his actions, but Yi Shuihan already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. She felt really bad because all of this could have been avoided. If he had just revealed his personal world at the beginning, he could have led everyone to escape together.

"Holy Spirit, what should I do now?"

Subconsciously, Yi Shuihan sought the system's help; at this moment, he truly didn't know what choice to make.
