The Great Daoyuan calamity was extraordinary, but it was not something that required the attention of the Daoyuan realm experts. After all, it did not affect them.
However, Chu Xuan was trying to develop both the ghost race and Buddhist clan, so he had to keep them from noticing that anything was wrong.
As such, he opted for the best distraction available.
"The Great Daoyuan calamity is a small calamity. Fellow Daoist Hong, you can't see through because the great calamity has clouded your vision."
"If any of you notice anything abnormal, don't panic, and don't take it to heart. The Great Daoyuan calamity still cannot affect Daoyuan realm experts."
Chu Xuan did not continue.
Hong Yuanchu and the others felt a chill run down their spines. It was indeed the influence of the mysterious great calamity. Otherwise, how could they not probe the Great Daoyuan calamity?
Mo Tu's expression became even more solemn. He had sensed that the fate of the demon race had changed recently, but he did not know whether it was a good or bad thing.
Even he, an exalted Daoyuan realm expert, was unable to determine this.
Unexpectedly, it was because of the great calamity.
Chu Xuan deliberately misled Mo Tu.
Then, he continued, "As for Yousu, your problem is that the Netherworld race has undergone a metamorphosis, and their fate has also undergone a metamorphosis with them. It is not a sign of destruction."
"Yousu, you can choose to shoulder the fate of the evolved Netherworld race, If you do not resist it, it will naturally attach itself to you."
Yousu heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good that the Netherworld race was not destroyed.
She hurriedly asked further, "Senior, why did the Netherworld race transform? What will happen after the transformation?"
"It is their fate, and their opportunity. The transformation is a sublimation. This is a fortunate thing."
"Thank you for your explanation, Senior!"
Yousu did not doubt Chu Xuan's explanation.
After all, even Daoyuan realm experts like Hong Yuanchu had to ask Chu Xuan for advice.
"Little friend Yousu, have you encountered any difficulties in shouldering the fate of the evolved Netherworld race?"
Chu Xuan looked like a warm-hearted senior.
Yousu was of the Netherworld race. If she wanted to shoulder the fate of the ghost race, she would definitely encounter some difficulties. After all, she was not a ghost.
"Senior, it feels like I'm being rejected by their fate," Yousu replied respectfully.
"Alright, I'll teach you a technique that will allow you to evolve like them."
After Chu Xuan spoke, he privately messaged with Yousu and taught her some techniques from the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.
At the same time, he taught her the method to shoulder their fate.
She would gradually transform into a ghost as well.
Yousu was extremely grateful.
After using the method Chu Xuan had taught her, she successfully inherited the fate of the Netherworld race after their transformation. She could even feel that there were some changes in her body.
The secret technique that Senior had taught her was also incredibly exquisite and powerful.
She sighed inwardly. As expected of a terrifying senior who could guide Daoyuan realm experts.
The Dao realm cultivators in the Great Dao Communication Group were all extremely envious that she had actually received pointers from the group leader.
In the Daoyuan realm group.
Chu Xuan spoke, "Fellow Daoists, is it chaos that gives birth to the Great Dao, or is it the Great Dao that gives birth to chaos? Do you have any insights?"
"I'm ashamed that I still have yet to discover any insights into this topic," Hong Yuanchu said in embarrassment.
This question had always lingered in his mind, yet he had no new insights.
"The stupid old Ghost Hong actually gained nothing!"
The moment Mo Tu opened his mouth, he mocked Hong Yuanchu.
"Oh, Mo Tu, you boorish fellow, do you have any insights?"
Hong Yuanchu was not angry either.
"No!"
Mo Tu said confidently.
"Fellow Daoists, how much of your Dao path has been opened?"
Chu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked.
The Daoyuan realm was a relatively special realm. The strength of the Daoyuan realm cultivator depended on the strength of the Dao path he or she opened.
How could one determine the strength of the Dao path?
Naturally, the length, width, and stability of the Great Dao was the benchmark.
In theory, the Daoyuan realm had no end.
One could continue to open and develop their Dao path.
Chu Xuan did not know the extent to which one could open up one's Dao path.
Moreover, the Great Dao calamity was a calamity for Daoyuan realm cultivators.
If they could not endure it, their Dao paths would collapse and fall.
If they did, they would be able to continue opening up the Dao path..
"Speaking of which, I'm ashamed to say I'm quite inferior to Brother Hong in terms of this," Ruo Xian sighed and said.
She was from the same era as Hong Yuanchu, and they had reached the Daoyuan realm at around the same time. However, she lagged behind Hong Yuanchu after that.
Normally, Mo Tu would jump out to humiliate her at this point.
However, he did not, as the topic of opening up one's Dao path was a serious one.
"How much has Daoist brother Chu opened up the Dao path?"
Hong Yuanchu asked curiously.
Mo Tu and the others were also curious. In their eyes, Chu Xuan was a super big shot and an extremely ancient existence.
What level had such a terrifying expert reached in terms of opening the Dao path?
"Daoist Brother Chu, can you give us a reference?"
Kun He and the other Daoyuan realm experts chimed in.
Chu Xuan was silent. What should he say?
After pondering for a moment, he decided to go all out.
Thus, he said with a face full of shame, "My talent is mediocre. I have devoted myself to opening up the path up until now, but I have only opened up a small path that is millions of miles long and hundreds of thousands of miles wide."
"I'm... Ashamed!"
Chu Xuan sighed deeply and said.
The group became quiet.
There was not the slightest sound.
Chu Xuan's heart thumped. Could it be that he had failed to exaggerate sufficiently?
Did he ruin the image that he had worked so hard to build up?
Thinking about it carefully, to Daoyuan realm experts, it did not seem difficult to open up a Dao path that was millions of kilometers long.
It was only a few million kilometers. In the outside world, to Daoyuan realm cultivators, that was a very short distance.
He had been careless!
His image of a super big shot was about to collapse. What should he do?
How should he salvage this situation?
Just as Chu Xuan was vexed and wondering if there were any remedial measures, the system's reward suddenly arrived.
"You bragged in front of the Daoyuan realm cultivators, scaring them senseless. You have been rewarded with a Chaos Path-opening Axe."
Huh?
Chu Xuan was stunned. He had succeeded in acting cool?
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
This meant that a Dao path that was millions of miles long was extremely terrifying.
"I, Chu Xuan, am lacking. Fellow Daoists, please don't laugh at me."
Chu Xuan sent a series of cupped fists emojis in the group.
Little did he know that the Hong Yuanchu and the others were already in tears.
