　　Because of his trip to the wild this time, on the surface, it is to ask for the Buddha’s fate for Xuanhuangtian to check and balance Jiuyuan.
　　But in fact, he and his master Lu Daoxuan are laying the groundwork for the Shangqing to jointly carry the Taixu Calamity in the future.
　　According to Lu Daoxuan’s statement, without this step, the difficulty for the Shangqing to resist the Taixu Calamity will inevitably increase dozens of times.
　　It is to sacrifice the current Zhenwutian to exchange a glimmer of life for the entire Shangqing Realm before the Taixu Calamity.
　　Or ignore the Taixu Calamity that can destroy the entire Shangqing Realm three hundred years later and protect Zhenwutian.
　　This heavy choice fell on Xu Taiping’s shoulders alone.
　　And just as Xu Taiping was caught in this difficult choice, Liantong’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind——
　　“Xu Taiping, even if this bright moon falls on the land of Zhenwutian, at least the immortal sects headed by the Nine Mansions in Zhenwutian will not be completely wiped out because of this.”
　　“And your Qingxuan Sect, because the mountain sealing formation has been opened for a long time, is even safer than other sects.”
　　“Of course, since then, the decline of Zhenwu’s luck will inevitably become a foregone conclusion.”
　　“But even so, I still suggest that you protect Zhenwutian.”
　　Xu Taiping frowned and asked：
　　“Why？”
　　Liantong replied：
“The eyes of the world are all short-sighted. They won’t be grateful to you because of that glimmer of life in the void calamity hundreds of years later. They will only remember your decision today that buried the hundreds of millions of living beings in the True Martial Heaven.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head expressionlessly and said：
　　“Why would I need their gratitude？”
As he spoke, he looked up at the mirage phantom in the sky again, and then took a deep breath and said:
　　“I can’t save many people. I just want to fight for a glimmer of life for my master and all the senior and junior brothers in the Qingxuan Sect.”
　　After saying this, his originally somewhat confused eyes suddenly became firm again.
　　Immediately, he straightened his chest again, and then said with firm eyes： “As long as I can do it, even if I have to bear the infamy of the entire Upper Clear World, so what？”
　　After hearing this, Lian Tong smiled “hee hee” and said：
“Very good. No wonder it’s the person I chose to merge with the Tao!”
　　“I will bear this eternal infamy with you！”
Xu Taiping nodded expressionlessly, and then looked up at the mirage and said loudly:
　　“Heartless Demon Emperor, losing the Falling Moon will only make the end of your Nine Abysses come faster！”
　　After hearing this, the onlookers were first stunned, and then they all exclaimed in unison.
　　Even Xiahou You had a look of disbelief on his face and said：
　　“Is Xu Taiping planning to give up in the True Martial Heaven？”
　　And almost at the same time, only to hear the voice of the Heartless Demon Emperor coldly asking：
　　“Xu Taiping, have you thought it through？”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t answer the Heartless Demon Emperor, but turned his head to look in the direction where the voice of the ancient Buddha Burning Lamp had come from before, and said loudly：
“Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp, please use the Mysterious Wasteland as your dojo in the future and forge a Buddhist sharp sword for the Supreme Pure to expel the Nine Abysses!
　　Soon, the voice of the ancient Buddha Burning Lamp resounded through the Barbarian Wilderness Heaven again：
　　“Burning Lamp will definitely not disappoint the trust of Daoist Taiping！”
　　As soon as these words came out, it could be regarded as finalizing Xu Taiping’s choice to abandon True Martial.
　　For a while, the overwhelming voices of abuse and curses, like a tide, converged towards the Barbarian Wilderness Heaven where Xu Taiping was.
But Xu Taiping still stood firmly in place with a resolute gaze and a straight figure, without the slightest sign of wavering.
　　That expression was as if to say, come on, scold me.
　　Even if there are thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of people who scold me and hate me.
　　Even if this bad reputation will be carried for thousands of years and tens of thousands of words.
　　I, Xu Taiping, can shoulder it all today.
　　……
　　True　Martial　Heaven.
　　Azure　Mysterious　Sect.
　　Dark Mysterious Demon Cave.
　　“Rumble…”
Youdaoplaceholder0 by a series of heavy mechanical device rotation sounds, in the Dark Mysterious Demon Cave the Demon-Sealing Door that had been sealed for nearly a hundred years slowly opened.
　　A skinny old man covered in chains stepped out of the door with firm steps.
　　The old man was Lu Daoxuan.
　　After walking out of the Demon-Towning Gate, Lu Daoxuan walked all the way to the huge spiritual mirror in the center of the Youxuan Demon Cave without saying a word.
　　Zhao Qian, who was standing beside the spiritual mirror, said with a solemn expression：
　　”Little Martial Uncle, Taiping finally chose to bear the notoriety and abide by the agreement we made that day, and made a move in Xuanhuang.”
Lu Daoxuan didn’t speak. He just silently looked at the figure of Xu Taiping standing with his back to the crowd in the spiritual mirror, listening to the torrent of abuse that surged towards him like a tide in the spiritual mirror.
　　After a long time, Lu Daoxuan finally said：
　　”Disciple, you have worked hard these days.”
　　”All along, it has been you making the choices alone. Today, let your master share some of it for you.”
　　When he said this, Lu Daoxuan’s eyes froze and he said：
　　”How could your master stand by and watch you bear this eternal notoriety！”
　　When he said this, Lu Daoxuan looked at Zhao Qian and asked：
　　”Zhao Qian, is everything ready？”
　　Zhao Qian nodded with a serious expression and firm eyes and said：
　　“Inside Qingxuan Sect, apart from the peak masters, elders, and disciples of the same generation as Linglong and him, whether they are inner sect disciples or outer sect disciples, I have all sent them out of Yunlu！”
　　Lv Daoxuan nodded and asked：
　　“How many people are left in Qingxuan now？”
　　Zhao　Qian　replied：
　　“Including you and me, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-seven people！”
　　Zhao Qian immediately added：
　　“Although the number of people is not large, each and every one of them is an elite of Qingxuan, and each and every one of them can die for Qingxuan.”
　　Lv Daoxuan looked at Zhao Qian deeply, and then stretched out his hand to him and said： “Give me the imperial seal.”
　　Zhao Qian took out a brocade box from his sleeve, handed it to Lv Daoxuan while saying with a solemn expression：
　　“Little Martial Uncle, after using this imperial seal, whether it is the corpse in the magic cave behind you or the sealed Yuxuzi will surely wake up one after another.”
“And Qingxuan Sect will also… will also be swallowed by the Yunmengze Secret Realm and the Taixuan Sect Ruins, and will become a part of the Taixuan Ghost Domain from now on.
　　“Only when the gate of the Yunmeng Secret Realm is reopened will it be possible to come out.”
　　“However, the Yunmengze Secret Realm will not open for at least a hundred years this time. With only our three hundred and sixty-seven people, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to hold on until that time.”
　　Lv Daoxuan smiled and asked：
　　“Are　you　afraid？”
　　“Afraid, of course afraid.” Zhao Qian grinned and nodded：
　　“But what I’m afraid of is dying too ugly. When Taiping and the others enter the Yunmeng Secret Realm a hundred years from now and see our bones, they’ll laugh at us.”
　　Hearing this, Lü Daoxuan laughed heartily. Then, while taking the imperial seal, he promised：
　　“Don’t worry. With your little martial uncle here, I will never let you die too ugly！”
　　Zhao Qian grinned again upon hearing this.
　　Then, looking at the imperial seal in Lü Daoxuan’s hand, he asked curiously：
　　“Little martial uncle, after taking over as the True Martial Heavenly Great Emperor, can you still stay with us in the Taixuan Ghost Domain？”
　　The corner of Lü Daoxuan’s mouth raised as he smiled and said：
　　“Your little martial uncle here is not one of those half-baked great emperors. Back then, it was this True Martial Emperor Seal that actively came to seek me, not the other way around！”
　　“So as long as I want, there is no obstacle to my coming or going！”
　　After saying this, Lü Daoxuan looked at Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror, then reached out and forcefully held the imperial seal, injecting his true essence into it.
　　“Boom！！……”
　　Accompanied by a deafening air explosion sound, an aura fluctuation like the might of heaven suddenly spread out from Lü Daoxuan’s body.
　　Immediately afterwards, Lü Daoxuan said loudly：
　　“Lü Daoxuan, the current great emperor of the True Martial Heaven！”
　　“Today, I shout out to the five directions of the heaven and earth！”
