"Qingxuan, if what you say is true, then what should we do?"
Shennong said, "It's impossible to actually slaughter a group of immortals and gods. What's the difference between that and a demon in one's heart?"
However, while Shennong thought this way, some powerful beings did not. Xia Mangqing could sense that some powerful beings had strange expressions, and it was very likely that they had really made up their minds.
"There is a way."
Xia Mangqing said, "The reason I proposed to convene the Three Realms Conference before was firstly to resolve the biggest hidden danger, the Source Elder, and secondly to discuss with everyone how to avoid the calamity of the destruction of the Three Realms."
"I already have a specific plan in mind."
"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, may you speak frankly?"
Huanmu Master asked, "Most of the leaders of the Three Realms still prioritize the well-being of all beings and are unwilling to engage in acts of killing. Huanmu Master, in particular, prefers to resolve matters peacefully."
However, Xia Mangqing shook his head: "Since it is the Three Realms Assembly, it is impossible for outsiders to know about it. No matter who you are or which faction you come from, you must make a life oath in order to participate."
"Moreover, those who are unwilling to take an oath may have ulterior motives and do things that harm the Three Realms. My suggestion is to kill them directly."
Many gods and immortals changed their expressions. Did this mean that they could only make a life-bound oath?
Previously, they already knew what a life vow was, a vow that any cultivator must abide by. Once broken, one would inevitably die and perish, with no room for redemption.
Even if they were true gods or immortals, or even if they were true gods or Dao ancestors, or even the legendary "Pangu God", they could not break their life oath.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this a bit too domineering?"
A true god-ancestor spoke, and Xia Mangqing glanced at him. He was a white-bearded Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. His Taoist name was Yuqiu, and the powerful figures of the Three Realms all called him "without desires or wants".
Of course, this is ironic. Yuqiu Daoren was an extremely cunning and greedy person. He was unwilling to make a vow of his life, naturally because such a vow could bind him and prevent him from breaking it.
"Yu Qiu, if you are unwilling to swear an oath, I will not force you, but I will kill you, and there should be no one here who can stop me."
Xia Mangqing was straightforward, which surprised those who knew him. In their impression, Xia Mangqing was always a gentle person who rarely got into conflicts with others.
But now, its sharp edge is fully revealed.
"This was his era, an era that should have been marked by his brilliance. However, he knew of the crisis in the Three Realms too early and had to conceal his edge—" Suirenshi looked at Xia Mangqing and sighed in his heart.
He actually quite admired Xia Mangqing for this.
In the era of the rise of humanity, retreat is of no use and may even cut off all chance of survival. Only by showing our strength and making others fear us can we carve out a place for humanity.
Of course, he did not advocate blind bravery. Xia Mangqing did not act rashly before he could solve the problem. Instead, he chose to remain silent and wait for the right opportunity, which he also admired.
On the other side, upon hearing Xia Mangqing's words, Daoist Yuqiu's face turned extremely ugly. Just as he was about to speak again, Thunder God Heavenly Venerable suddenly shouted, "Old Daoist Yuqiu, you dare not swear an oath? Could it be that you truly harbor treacherous intentions?!"
Yu Qiu Daoist's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that the first person to refute him at this moment would be the Thunder God Heavenly Venerable!
This is clearly the most brainless and powerful being in the Three Realms, yet he's now siding with Xia Mangqing.
Little did he know that the Thunder God Celestial Venerable's mind was extremely pure. If Xia Mangqing hadn't intervened, he would probably still be under the control of the Source Elder. Now that the control had been lifted, it was a great blessing.
Although he was straightforward and impulsive, he was not a fool, nor was he an ungrateful person. At the same time, he was sincere towards the Three Realms. Seeing Yuqiu Daoist like this, he naturally could not tolerate it.
"I agree with Qingxuan's words. Next is the Three Realms Assembly. We can use the Oath Stone to determine which beings belong to the Three Realms."
When Fuxi spoke, his intentions became more direct.
Having been controlled by the power of the Old Man of Source, he knew even better that although the Three Realms seemed peaceful, there were still many powerful beings with other motives. Under such circumstances, who could feel at ease?
Having learned his lesson the hard way, Fuxi was definitely not at ease.
Suirenshi and Shennongshi exchanged a glance: "Our human race also supports Xia Mangqing, and we must swear an oath of life."
"The Taoist sect also agreed."
"The Buddhist community agrees."
The two leaders, Sanqing and Tathagata, spoke in succession.
"The Infernal Affairs Bureau has also agreed."
The Lord of Wind Demons then spoke, but his words caused Bu Xiu, who had already regained his divine body, to change his expression. However, he was outnumbered and outmatched, and given his previous experience, he dared not say anything more.
"Fellow Daoists, if my Chaos Race is willing to swear a life-bound oath, can we also become a member of the Three Realms?"
The Great Demon God Ci Xiu asked, "Although I am trapped in the ancient ruins, I have spent most of the Chaos Era in the Three Realms and have long been used to it. If I can be accepted, joining the Three Realms is not a problem."
The leaders exchanged glances, finally fixing their gaze on Xia Mangqing: "Qingxuan, what do you think?"
Xia Mangqing said directly: "In the Great Mo Domain, there are countless Chaos Kingdoms, Immortal Sects, and Dao Lineages standing side by side. In the future, the Three Realms will eventually be connected with the Great Mo Domain. I think we can absorb the Chaos Alien Races, just like absorbing disciples, but they must make a life oath."
"That's feasible."
Suirenshi nodded. In the future, it would be only a matter of time before the Three Realms were integrated with the Great Mo Domain and its inhabitants were absorbed. It would be better to take this opportunity to develop the Three Realms as a sect.
The other leaders thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Finally, they asked the Great Demon God Cixiu, "Cixiu, what do you think?"
'
"Of course I'm willing."
The Great Demon God Thorn Cultivator laughed and said, "The Chaos Alien Clan is also willing to swear an oath of life."
With the leaders of all parties expressing their agreement to make their life vows, the other powerful beings, gods, and immortals had no objections. After all, it was useless to have objections; who would dare to oppose them at this time?
You never know when you might be killed right here.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's all confirm the contents of our life oaths. After we've all taken our oaths, I'll explain my method in detail," Xia Mangqing said. The powerful figures agreed, and then began to discuss the contents of their life oaths.
Because the goal is to ensure the overall stability of the Three Realms, the content is not too harsh, and even allows a certain degree of fighting and killing. However, there are also points that must be followed, such as not being allowed to unite with beings who have not sworn an oath, or to harm the interests of the Three Realms.
At the same time, because it was determined by all parties, there were almost no loopholes to exploit. Only after it was determined did Xia Mangqing and the other leaders begin to take their oaths.
They first swear an oath, which puts others at ease. As for those who do not swear an oath, they are not protected by the oath of their life. If anyone chooses to go back on their word, they can still be killed.
After all the beings present made their life vows, many of them sat cross-legged on auspicious clouds. Xia Mangqing then slowly spoke, "The vows have been made. Now, let me tell you about my plan for the Three Realms to deal with the great calamity."
The many creatures listened quietly, and then Xia Mangqing said, "My method consists of two parts."
"First, all true gods and Dao Ancestors must not appear in the Three Realms in their true forms. They must all go to the Chaos Void and establish Daoist temples outside the Three Realms." As he spoke, he looked at Dao Ancestor Bodhi: "This includes situations like Fellow Daoist Bodhi, who hides in other time and space, which is also not allowed."
"It should be known that the burden and pressure that a true god and ancestor brings to the Three Realms is comparable to the combined influence of hundreds of great worlds and countless living beings and cultivators."
"The fact that all the true gods and Dao ancestors of the Three Realms have withdrawn from the Three Realms and opened up Daoist temples in the chaotic void can greatly alleviate the situation."
"Of course, you may have the ability to transform into various forms to travel through the Three Realms, comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and experience the mortal world, but the strength of your transformations is not allowed to exceed the level of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals."
Many powerful figures thought about it and none of them objected.
Their cultivation has basically reached its limit. Whether their true bodies remain in the Three Realms or not has little impact on them. If they want to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and improve their strength, having an avatar is enough.
"What should we do next?"
The Demon Hand Dao Ancestor asked, "This woman can be described as a war maniac. In the past, only the Lord of the Heart Demon of the Boundless Sect could suppress her. But since she has agreed to make a life-bound oath, she will also prioritize the overall situation of the Three Realms."
"Secondly, I will purchase suitable inheritances from the Great Mo Domain. Anyone who reaches a certain standard can comprehend them and use them to enhance their strength."
Upon hearing this, many creatures were overjoyed, and Suirenshi even asked directly, "Qingxuan, you can obtain the inheritance of the Great Mo Domain? What level is it?"
"We can acquire them. Many forces in the Great Mo Domain can purchase Daoist scriptures and inheritances, but the price difference between using them for personal purposes and using them for inheritance is huge," Xia Mangqing replied. "Therefore, I won't buy too many. My current plan is to purchase some World Realm level inheritances, mainly the inheritances of the Ten Great Heavenly Daos and some top Daos of the Three Realms."
"World Realm level?!"
The leaders were overjoyed; they knew perfectly well what that meant, especially since Xia Mangqing wanted to buy something related to the Three Realms and the Heavenly Dao.
The lineage related to the Great Dao is easier for them to comprehend.
Of course, they knew that this was a major cause and effect, but they still chose to bear this cause and effect.
Xia Mangqing then continued, "Leaders, your understanding of the Heavenly Dao is extremely profound. Even in the Great Mo Domain, there are few among the Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals who can rival you."
People like the Three Pure Ones and Tathagata have an even more exaggerated level of Tao. If they hadn't lacked a good lineage, they probably would have already reached the World Realm.
"You can comprehend these inheritances first. After you become world gods and chaos immortals, you will be able to open up other chaos worlds and great worlds in the chaos void. In this way, the great calamity of the three realms will naturally be resolved."
The Dao Ancestors suddenly realized that the method Xia Mangqing mentioned was not difficult to come up with, but the key was that no one else could provide the inheritance, so no one would think of this approach.
But now that Xia Mangqing has solved the most difficult point, this method has become feasible.
Moreover, it will allow more powerful beings to emerge in the Three Realms, so that when they truly integrate with the Great Mo Domain in the future, they will be able to cope with various crises and will not fall into various dangerous situations again.
