Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 625 - 344 Hongluan Star Moves

"No wonder there was such turmoil in the Three Realms a while ago, causing all beings to fear that something grand had happened, only to calm down afterward. It turned out to be the aftermath of a clash between powerful beings that traveled across worlds," Liu Qingyun suddenly recalled the events that had happened and realized.

"When such existences clash, it's naturally catastrophic. Had the battlefield not been carefully chosen by All Saints, the mere aftermath would have brought disaster upon the Three Realms," Lu Yu nodded and said.

Even so, the fact that the aftershocks could travel here through such vast distances and distorted time and space shows a glimpse of how terrible the old days with All Saints were.

"Fortunately, this matter has now concluded, and the adversaries of old have been severely damaged, probably not daring to linger outside the Three Realms. It won't be long before you can witness the sights beyond the heavens," Lu Yu said with a smile.

Liu Qingyun's eyes immediately widened with a longing expression; that was the realm of Chaos outside the heavens. Though extremely dangerous, it was also filled with opportunities, as the materials from Chaos were rare treasures in the Three Realms.

"However, do not rush. No one knows whether the adversaries of old have truly left or if they've left something behind. Wait until All Saints confirm it before acting," Lu Yu cautioned.

"During this journey to another world, I have gained much and plan to retreat for meditation for a while. The revitalization of Great Chu will be left to you," Lu Yu mentioned.

Liu Qingyun slightly nodded and responded, "Master, rest assured, I will take care of Lu Xun's matters."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, confident in Liu Qingyun's abilities. He then answered several recent cultivation questions from a few disciples before slowly walking under the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Now, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, nurtured for many years by Lu Yu, had regained its former power. It thrived lushly, wrapped in a golden light and innate aura, and as one drew near, it seemed as if the sounds of the Great Dao resonated in one's ears, involuntarily immersing one in the state of enlightenment.

At that moment, the Enlightenment Tea Tree waved its branches joyfully, its exuberant emotions undeniable. Lu Yu, with a smile, gently stroked its trunk, sat cross-legged, and began his meditation. The branches of the Enlightenment Tea Tree spread above his head, creating a harmonious shelter.

Meanwhile, several major events unfolded within the Three Realms, the most noteworthy being the Rulai Buddha's retreat for cultivation. The responsibility for all matters of Mount Ling fell to the Future Buddha Maitreya.

This successor of Buddhism officially stepped onto the stage of the era, taking charge of Mount Ling, signalling the start of All Saints' transcendence.

All Saints fell into silence. Although everyone knew they were about to transcend and thus were tuning their state and perfecting their fruits of dao for the final preparations, no one dared to cause trouble at this critical moment. Anyone stirring at this key juncture would not be easily forgiven by All Saints.

Thus, the Three Realms fell into an eerie calm, and cultivators also retreated in silence, meditating in the depths of the mountains. Under this seemingly tranquil situation, tumultuous undercurrents flowed, possibly turning into a mighty wave that could sweep across the world one day.

Within Heavenly Court, atop the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor sat alone on the Heavenly Emperor's throne, staring blankly at the empty grand hall. After a while, he finally spoke, "It is time to make a decision."

"To do so would likely make us the laughingstock of the Three Realms," the voice of the Queen Mother resounded.

"As a Heavenly Emperor, I have already been ridiculed. One more time makes no difference. The transcendence of All Saints is imminent. To prepare is to survive, to not is to perish. It's time to plan ahead," he said, his gaze deep, as if seeing the nearing future through the passage of time.

Due to innate reasons, this era could not ascend the Great Dao. Yet in the next era, the position of transcendence was his to claim without dispute, to show all beings of the Three Realms.

And at that moment, a matchmaker deity in charge of divine marriages received a mysterious visit from an unfamiliar priest, who, smiling, handed him a small piece of paper.

"Matchmaker God, this is a matter personally entrusted by His Highness, please take it to heart," the priest said gravely.

Upon reading the note, the Matchmaker God's color drained from his face as he murmured, "This..."

"Hush, it is enough that you and I know this. We must not spread the word, for you know the temper of the Supreme Ones," the priest whispered.

"But this matter is of great significance, how dare I, a minor deity, take it upon myself?" the Matchmaker God said with a bitter smile, sensing the difficult task at hand. If he angered that True Monarch, he could not bear the consequences.

"Just be at ease, just handle the red threads. The outcome will depend on her. If she is truly advanced in cultivation, how could she be swayed by you? If her heart and mind are unstable, then it is her fate to face this tribulation," the priest whispered.

Rather troubled, the Matchmaker God looked up towards Heavenly Palace. The Lingxiao Hall shone brilliantly above, and he could almost see the imposing and undeniable eyes of the Heavenly Emperor sternly fixed on him.

After pondering for a long while, he finally said, "Alas, since His Majesty has decreed, I can only obey."

Only then did the priest reveal a satisfied smile and said, "In that case, I shall thank the Matchmaker God. I will now return to the grand hall to report this good news to His Majesty."

As the priest left, the Matchmaker God looked towards the tree of marriage bonds. Its thick trunk hung with countless red threads, created by Saint Nuwa in tune with Heavenly Dao, controlling the marriages of all beings between heaven and earth.

The Matchmaker God merely touched the Treasure Tree with his cane, causing it to shake violently as all the red threads trembled.

At that moment, all cultivators across the Three Realms felt an odd stir in their hearts, desires quietly rising, their minds wavering. They began to meditate and sit in meditation to calm their restless hearts.
