The Confounded Heavenly Order of the Mortal Realm

"Evil spirits are invading! Evil spirits are invading! Are there any high-level cultivators? Hurry and help!"

"Why did Young Master Jiang leave the Mortal Realm? Now that he's no longer guarding it... what are we supposed to do?"

In the Mortal Realm, countless cultivators began to wail.

When Jiang Che was around, they didn't realize his importance. But once the realm barrier was removed... and extraterrestrial evil spirits flooded into the Mortal Realm, they finally remembered him and began to appreciate his past deeds.

Although the vast majority of experts from the Evil Spirit Plane had gone to the Nine Heavens Demon Realm, the Evil Spirit Dao created by Ji Qingyi had grown to an extremely massive scale, snowballing out of control. It was no exaggeration to say that... if the Evil Spirit Dao continued to develop, even she wouldn't be able to guarantee the complete suppression of all the evil spirits within it.

Therefore, even the remnant forces of the Evil Spirit Plane were a terrifyingly formidable enemy for the Mortal Realm, which had only just completed its spiritual energy revival!

In almost half a day, the defensive lines set up by the cultivators of the Mortal Realm were entirely destroyed.

However, Jiang Che had left a contingency plan.

Before long, countless young cultivators flying on their swords rushed out.

The Cultivator Academy he had previously established in the Mortal Realm was now playing a major role.

These pawns still had some strength, and many Children of Destiny had been strengthened by Jiang Che using the system. Quite a few of them were now on the verge of breaking through to the Martial God stage.

"It's the Cultivator Academy! The immortals from the Cultivator Academy have come to save us!"

Someone shouted excitedly, as if they had seen their saviors.

Among these destined ones, there were two exceptionally powerful figures in particular.

One was Chu Yuan, the Lord of Destiny of the Mortal Realm. At this moment, this Lord of Destiny had reached the peak of the Nirvana stage, his cultivation base even higher than Jiang Che's. The other Child of Destiny, Lin Mu, had already advanced to the Creation Realm!

The Tree God Evolution System that Jiang Che had created for him allowed him to grow stronger simply by devouring eerie evil spirits. This kid had devoured an unknown amount of evil spirit power and was already at the Third Heaven of the Creation Realm.

Of course, no matter how high their cultivation bases were... it was impossible for them to break free from Jiang Che's control.

In the sky above the Mortal Realm, an overwhelming number of dense, dark evil spirits descended. Countless demonic bats, manifested from evil spirit power, blotted out the sky and covered the earth. And this was merely a drop in the bucket of the Evil Spirit Plane's forces.

Lin Mu transformed into his true form, and countless bizarre vines erupted, blocking all of these evil spirits!

"Tsk tsk, if I had known, I would have chosen the Tree God Evolution System too!" Chu Yuan watched Lin Mu showing off his skills with a look of envy in his eyes. Lin Mu's strength was upgrading far too quickly. By madly devouring evil spirit power... no immortal physique could even compare to him!

However, Chu Yuan didn't show weakness either. He possessed the Primal Chaos Immortal Physique, so his strength was naturally not weak!

"......"

High above the firmament, the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm looked down at everything below in silence.

Now, the entire Mortal Realm seemed to have fallen into chaos. As the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm, she existed in name only, unable to even summon the heavenly tribulations meant to restrict the strength of the cultivators.

That's right, as the Heavenly Dao, the reason cultivators were struck by heavenly tribulations... was entirely due to the Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao had to screen the cultivators, but logically speaking, the Heavenly Dao had always been synonymous with fairness and justice.

Therefore, the Heavenly Daos in the Nine Heavens all performed their respective duties. From the God-Communing Tribulation down below to the Immortal Emperor Tribulation up high, not a single one would be missed.

But she was different. She had developed her own sentience, so naturally, she couldn't be completely fair and just.

The spiritual energy revival of the Mortal Realm had just begun, and she was still far from recovering to her peak level as the Heavenly Dao.

"Demon Emperor..."

Although the Mortal Realm was now guarded by many Children of Destiny, and even protected by Chu Yuan, the Lord of Destiny she had personally selected, all of these destined ones had rebelled!

She could already sense it. The Lord of Destiny she had paid a great price to create, Chu Yuan with his Primal Chaos Immortal Physique, had completely lost the Mandate of Heaven he carried!

As the Heavenly Dao, she was essentially a lone commander, unable to even construct a realm barrier.

"Demon Ancestor Jiang Che! What exactly do you want me to do?"

Could it be that I really have to take on a physical form?

But she was the Heavens!!!

She was the Origin Heavenly Dao, born at the very beginning of primal chaos. The nine Heavenly Daos currently in the Nine Heavens were all split from her own power!

But now, as the Heavenly Dao, she was facing a desperate situation.

Whether it was the destined ones she had created herself, or that Evil Spirit Demon Emperor... in the end, she only ever had to face one person!

Jiang Che!

There was only one path left before her: either bow her head to Jiang Che and become his woman, or die completely, after which a new Heavenly Dao might soon be born.

"But... what exactly should I do?"

The Heavenly Dao lowered her eyes and looked at her own body.

She still possessed the appearance of a peerlessly beautiful woman. She raised her hand and waved... A rippling water screen appeared before her, reflecting her city-toppling beauty.

Very beautiful!

Beautiful enough to make all women in the world pale in comparison.

Yet her gaze always revealed a sense of transcendence, a feeling of being far above everything else!

She was the Heavenly Dao, viewing all living beings in the world as mere ants. She had almost no humanity... Therefore, she could not fully possess a human physical form. Even Jiang Che could not give her a human form, let alone touch her.

Only when she fully possessed humanity would she have a physical body of her own.

It was very, very difficult!

"How can I possess humanity?" The Heavenly Dao said no more, remaining silent.

She had actually already given in and wanted to submit to Jiang Che, but unfortunately, she lacked a physical form. She could only be admired from afar but not intimately touched.

Moreover, she truly couldn't understand why an existence with such a powerful status would be so obsessed with... feminine beauty?

Logically speaking, the stronger an existence's status, the more they needed to discard humanity and emotion, becoming absolutely rational!

But Jiang Che remained an enigma to her.

"The path of seeking the Dao requires abandoning rationality and humanity! Could it be that to reach the true pinnacle... one needs to reclaim rationality and humanity?"

......

Jiang Che still didn't know that he had imperceptibly made the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm begin to doubt her entire existence.

At this moment, he had returned to his own Immortal Herb Garden.

"Hehe, Master! The mission has been successfully completed, and I even exceeded the quota by a thousand pounds!"

Little Peach Yao Yao was riding on Jiang Che's shoulders, a bright smile on her face. One must know... the number of people who dared to ride on the shoulders of a fierce tiger like Jiang Che... were few and far between.

Yao Yao was one of them.

Yao Yao shook the spatial ring in her hand, which contained a full six thousand pounds of Fusang Immortal Leaves!

Originally, Jiang Che had planned to gather 5,000 pounds of mulberry leaves within ten days to trade with that Immortal Silkworm Ancestor. In fact, he hadn't really expected to harvest 5,000 pounds in ten days; at most, two or three thousand pounds would have been fine.

But now... who knows what wicked methods this girl Yao Yao used, she actually managed to gather the full amount!!!

However... looking back at the Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree!

Jiang Che completely lost his cool when he saw the state of the Immortal Tree. The trunk, once as thick as a bowl, had thoroughly withered. Its branches and bark were shriveled and wrinkled, resembling deadwood; the vital essence of the immortal medicine had been drained almost to the last drop.
