Chapter 378: The Moment of Proving the Dao

Zhang Daoheng never expected the calamity to rise! It surged from the Great Xia all the way to Dalong, lingering for a moment outside Nanxun City in Yunzhou before crashing toward the Haotu Sect, the resistance growing stronger.

The caves and secret realms that Li Hui had once ventured into were marked with his numerous traces, and the chaos at the bottom of Mirror Lake was also caused by him. Even if he hadn’t seen the sect leader, he had encountered the sect leader’s wife, and he had tested the energy at Cheng Tian Peak under everyone’s watchful eyes, exerting a significant influence!

What kind of person is hardest to forget? One who lives on in glory or one who leaves a notorious legacy!

In the Haotu Sect, Li Hui was the one who left a notorious legacy. The elders, with notable cultivation strengths, certainly could not forget him in such a short time; they longed to catch the child of the Mirror Lake faction and crush him to dust.

Sect leader’s wife Kong Yuhui was meditating in a pavilion when suddenly she felt unsettled. She hurriedly calculated with her fingers and couldn’t help but laugh, “So it is the foremost master performing magic! Perfect! I plan to unite Water Moon Mirror Sky and Huanyang Water Pavilion to create something extraordinary. As for Li Hui, starting today, he will be expelled from the Haotu Sect…”

With that light-hearted sentence, the sky erupted with “crackling” sounds as over a hundred bolts of red thunder crashed down.

The energy of the Haotu Sect poured out like a flood, shocking Kong Yuhui, and she could only reassure herself, “No, this child Li Hui is about to perish today; how could he possibly become the Revitalizing Master of the sect? And don’t even think about him becoming a pillar of Dalong, or the purple gold beams of the surrounding seas.”

At this moment, Zhang Daoheng felt ecstatic, knowing he had hooked a big fish. His cultivation of the calamity path was meant to fuel the calamity itself; striking at ordinary people ends things in an instant—what’s the point? It’s not enough to face opponents on equal footing; there should be some perseverance so that his cultivation can reach further progress.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect this Li Hui, Li Yingjun, to possess such great luck in the Haotu Sect. If he really grows, the Haotu Sect will surely revive and transform, bursting with boundless vitality. However, all of that has become impossible; I intend to slay him!”

“Boom, boom, boom…” The calamity surged like a flood toward Haofu, and the resistance unexpectedly came from the Yin Moon Dynasty.

“The Yin Moon Dynasty?” Zhang Daoheng raised his wooden sword, stepping into a star position and reshaping his figure while murmuring, “The calamity has arrived; even if hatred fills my heart, I shall slay you. Forget, forget, forget! This is my Dao; this is my law. You are called Cheng Yuyan? Fall into the realm of confusion.”

At the same time, in a remote temple in the outskirts of Dalong, Mu Qianyun was busy with sewing when a sudden fear overcame her. After a moment of confusion, she rushed to her room and grabbed the unfinished wooden carving from her bedside.

“No, why is this happening? I must forget; it’s about to become blank. Buddha, don’t blame me; from now on, Qianyun will create a Buddha. His name is Transcendent Tathagata Buddha; as I have heard, help him turn misfortune into fortune…”

“Boom!”

Dalong shook several times, with the Yin Moon casting a cold, dark shadow, filled with hatred, roaring, and helplessness.

Zhang Daoheng laughed arrogantly, “Hahaha, such delightful hatred cuts right through; you don’t belong in this world, not even a person who hates you exists. This is my moment to prove the Dao. No, it’s still not enough—far from enough; I will continue to dig deeper…”

The calamity surged like a tide, arriving at Jade Spring Mountain, where three big characters read “Blood Talisman Sect.”

Waves crashed against the shore, wild torrents rolled back, and the bells rang, with talisman light suddenly appearing.

Here, some recognized Li Hui, while others hated him. They did not want to forget, but with the heavens enforcing the calamity, it ultimately turned into a sigh.

The calamity entered the sea, rushing toward the Grand Xuan Dynasty at an unbelievable speed.

Zhang Daoheng thought, “This boy seems to have traveled quite a distance, even suppressing the fiery national fortune of the sea territories. Yes, this is the place; he must have done something significant, obscuring the heavenly secrets in the dimensional axis using some unknown means. Wait, how does he relate to the Hongmo Sect?”

The calamity advanced, circling several locations, erasing traces each time it paused. About half an hour later, the sound of thunder boomed in the sky, and a dreadful energy arrived at the place where Wan Nest Island once set sail, revealing an intricate array beneath the sea, perilous beyond description.

“Wan Nest Island? A place where calamities do not die; misfortune becomes auspicious?” Zhang Daoheng silently calculated, his heart igniting with heat, “Great, great, great! I initially thought I had caught just a somewhat tasty big fish, but I didn’t expect you to have endured numerous calamities to survive to this day. After searching for so long, finally, I have found you. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, a hundred times more important than Lian Luosha and Qian Qiu Yue, but moving on Wan Nest Island would not be wise; let’s head to the Hongmo Sect first.”

“Bang, bang, bang…” The sea surface seemed to show a series of massive footprints, each towering a thousand feet long, heading toward the Hongmo Sect’s mountain gate.

Ordinary cultivators were unaware of where the Hongmo Sect mountain gate lay, but with Zhang Daoheng’s profound cultivation, he faced no obstacles as he made his way there, distant awareness of the demonic thoughts: “Young one, you have quite a nerve attempting to erase the memories of our sect.”

“What if I do?”

“Li Hui is a fish that slipped through our nets at Wan Nest Island; this is the Hongmo Sect’s thousand-year disgrace.” The energy clashed in the sky.

Zhang Daoheng hurriedly bit his tongue, spitting blood onto the ancient wooden sword, and the calamity power surged immediately. With the energy drawing him in, he proudly laughed, “So that’s how it is; you are dodging the calamity. Truly, when luck comes, one cannot escape it. Forget completely, or else I will…”

“Hmph, young one, taking advantage.” The high air energy shattered: “Fine, our sect has forgotten; from now on, this matter will not be mentioned, and you may leave.”

“Such ease?” Zhang Daoheng calculated meticulously, suddenly chuckling coldly, “Cunning, there is a True Demon related to Li Hui; I will slay his memory, all for my calamity path.”

“If you have the courage, go to the Forbidden Domain…” The voice drifted away, already far gone.

“Forbidding Domain?” Zhang Daoheng’s expression changed abruptly, thinking, “No, besides the True Demon, there is another person in the Forbidden Domain. Erasing his memory won’t be easy. His name is Blood Moni, formless and intangible. The leader of the demonic sect is astute and has set a trap with this person. Sufficient calamity power has been gathered; I can assault Li Hui directly now, go.”

Myriad calamity powers withdrew, instantly returning to the Great Xia.

Zhang Daoheng’s success today is not due to following the rules, as evidenced by his lack of fear of the Hongmo Sect’s leader. The calamity power fell toward the dimensional axis, creating waves of overwhelming booms, forming various phenomena.

Li Hui, having gone through twists and turns, finally entered the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s ruins and found the right path. He couldn’t help but complain, “Someone has been here before, carelessly destroying talisman methods without understanding what they were doing, and they ruined it thoroughly—all because of some brute force.”

The brute he mentioned was brewing a massacre calamity.

“Crack…”

Before the calamity arrives, the sound of thunder strikes first, hitting deep in Li Hui’s mind, causing him to shiver, realizing: “To forget is a calamity; a calamity is the Dao?”

Guang Jin was still throwing a tantrum, but upon hearing the thunder, he was so terrified that his spirit left him, screaming at Li Hui, “Not good! Someone is stirring the heavenly fortune, forming unpredictable calamity power. Such terrifying calamity power will surely make many forget! How malicious and ruthless! This person wants you to forget yourself, to make you into a pig or a dog, as if you have fallen into the path of beasts.”

“Is it Zhang Daoheng?” Li Hui was shocked; such methods were unheard of. Under the calamity, there was simply no place to hide. After considering, he released the Crystal Shields, ready to resist, determined not to bow down.
