Extra: When I am thousands of times 1

The Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission is dead.

When Qiao Sidao realized he had undergone Rebirth into the Ancient Cultivation World, where the Ten Immortal Sects dominated and the New Dharma had yet to be born, a bold idea emerged in his mind.

He wanted to follow the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission and become one of the first Law Transmitters!

Don't be fooled by the Ten Immortal Sects' current prominence.

Qiao Sidao, who knew the future's trajectory, was well aware that this seemingly eternal rule was utterly vulnerable before the mighty tide of the New Dharma!

Before long, the New Dharma Cultivator army, which plundered land and cultivated at an astonishing speed, would, under the leadership of the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, sweep away and annihilate the Ten Immortal Sects, establishing the great Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that would unify the Xuan Huang World for countless eons.

And no merit is greater than following a Dragon.

If he pledged allegiance before the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission rose to prominence…

Then, in the future, after Chuan Fa's spirit roamed beyond the heavens, he would surely have a place in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's highest governing body, the Chuan Fa Council!

…That's what Qiao Sidao originally thought.

And that's what he did.

He abandoned his hard-won identity as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Stars Sect and traveled from the heartland of the Immortal Continent, across mountains and rivers, to Cong Yun Marsh in the borderlands.

After patiently waiting for over ten years, he finally welcomed the great Celestial Venerable of Dharma… No, at this time, he should still be called Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission.

News of the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission imparting the Law had spread in the surrounding areas not long ago.

But at this time, the Immortal Venerable's reputation was not yet established.

Suddenly claiming to transmit the Law and benefit the world… How many would believe him?

Before him, there were only a dozen or so Cultivators who had come upon hearing the news, intending to join in the fun.

Qiao Sidao eagerly took the central seat in the front row, hoping to make himself known.

He observed those around him, and when he thought that these people would one day be the great Law Transmitters holding power in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, his heart immediately quickened.

When the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission's gaze fell upon him, Qiao Sidao's heart stopped, and he immediately composed himself.

He dared not look around anymore.

Three days later, only a little over thirty Cultivators had gathered on this small island in Cong Yun Marsh.

Chuan Fa, however, didn't care.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to expound on the Dao.

From the Xuan Huang World and the Law of Immortals, to the mysteries of the human body and hidden Qi treasures, and then to the various connections between the world and all living beings.

He spoke eloquently, captivating all the Cultivators present, who listened with rapt attention.

As the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission continued his narration, various auspicious phenomena appeared in the sky.

Rolling purple Qi came from the horizon, and illuminated by the golden light in the sky, it appeared sacred and extraordinary.

Even at night, the purple-gold Qi on Wanxian Island was unceasing. It could be seen from hundreds of miles away.

Thus, more and more Cultivators were attracted by the sight of the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission imparting the Law.

They spread the word and continuously flocked to the island.

Before the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission, they dared not be presumptuous. The front had already been occupied by layers of Cultivators, so they had to find a seat in the back, one by one.

And once they immersed themselves in Chuan Fa's sermon, they all became incredibly regretful.

They regretted why they hadn't come earlier, causing them to miss so many profound and brilliant explanations.

More and more Cultivators gathered on the island.

Eventually, there were over ten thousand.

At this point, the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission finally spoke.

"When we achieve Immortal Ascension, why must we seek it from heaven? If heaven does not grant it, we can take it ourselves!"

"To follow heaven is to be Mortal; to defy heaven is to be Immortal!"

"Therefore, the path of Immortality is to:

Absorb the heaven and earth spirit to control its Qi;

Borrow the wonders of heaven and earth to build the Dao Foundation;

Pry into the Law of heaven and earth to refine the Golden Core;

Seize the essence of heaven and earth to form the Nascent Soul;

Extract the marrow of heaven and earth to obtain its spirit;

Sacrifice the heaven and earth spirit to merge one's body with the Dao;

Defy the principles of heaven and earth to attain eternal life!"

…After stating his fundamental principles, the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission then elaborated on the details of each Realm.

He left the Cultivators on the entire island speechless with awe.

So, Immortality could be cultivated this way!

And Qiao Sidao listened with surging excitement.

One must know that these Cultivators present, relying on this New Dharma of plundering heaven and earth, eventually overthrew the Ten Immortal Sects and established the great Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

As if personally caught in the great historical tide, Qiao Sidao felt that he had become a part of history.

However, what he never expected was this.

The Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission's sermon was at a critical juncture, as he spoke of [Defying the principles of heaven and earth].

A cold snort suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, interrupting Chuan Fa's speech.

"Spreading heresy!"

"Heaven and earth nurture all beings; Cultivators not only fail to repay this, but instead commit such malicious acts of plunder."

"How is that different from beasts?"

The voice, like thunder, continuously reverberated.

Being suddenly interrupted, the Cultivators listening to the Law on the island were naturally both surprised and angry.

"Where did this Cultivator who doesn't know his place come from?"

Qiao Sidao, even more so, had a 'watching a good show' mentality.

He knew that the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission had dominated the world for thousands of years, virtually unrivaled.

Wasn't this person who spoke out in provocation just seeking death?

However, a scene he inadvertently glimpsed made him feel subtly uneasy.

At this moment, the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission suddenly rose.

His face was filled with solemnity.

"May I know Fellow Daoist's name?"

"The so-called Three Thousand Great Dao…" Chuan Fa cupped his hands, about to speak.

But he was rudely interrupted again by the other party.

"More words are useless! One who spreads heretical doctrines under the rule of the Ten Immortal Sects…"

"Dies!"

With a furious shout, the speaker also revealed his figure.

He looked like a teenager of only about ten years old, dressed in bright golden armor, with a red ribbon tied in his hair, holding a silver spear.

He looked less like a Cultivator and more like a Mortal general.

"Remember, the one who takes your lives today is 'Wu' of the Creation Sect!"

Even before his voice faded, the silver long spear descended from the sky.

"You impudent child…"

Chuan Fa snorted coldly, gently extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand, intending to block it.

Who knew… The silver light, like lightning, instantly pierced through Chuan Fa's body.

Then, its momentum unabated, it violently smashed into the earth.

"Boom!"

Under Chuan Fa's incredulous gaze, the entire Wanxian Island instantly turned to dust.

The huge silver shockwave crushed the island while continuously sweeping across Cong Yun Marsh.

In just a few breaths, not a single living creature could be seen in the vast Cong Yun Marsh.

Only the continuously rampaging silver serpents danced in the Void Realm.

"Nonsense!"

Before Qiao Sidao's consciousness faded, he only heard 'Wu's' cold snort.

And the slowly disappearing figure of the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission… When he awoke again from a pitch-black void.

Qiao Sidao was pleasantly surprised to find that he had returned to the very first point in time of his Rebirth.

The Outer Sect Disciples of the Seven Stars Sect were painstakingly preparing for the Inner Sect assessment.

But at this moment, he no longer cared about entering the Inner Sect.

In his heart, there were only countless doubts.

Why?

How could the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission have fallen so easily?

And who was this 'Wu'?

Why had he never heard of him?

Countless doubts flooded his mind.

Several days passed, but Qiao Sidao still struggled to find a reasonable explanation.

But since the world he had been reborn into was different from the historical trajectory in his memory…

Then he had to carefully consider his future.

With such a formidable person like 'Wu' around, surely the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance wouldn't amount to anything, right?

Although he felt some regret, a wise person adapts to circumstances.

In this life, Qiao Sidao decisively chose to join the Ten Immortal Sects.

Then, something else he had not anticipated happened.

In the previous life, 'Wu', who ended Chuan Fa's life with a single spear…

Did not exist in this life at all.

Without his grand feat on Wanxian Island, the New Dharma spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire Xuan Huang World within a few years.

It was vast and unstoppable.

During the war with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Qiao Sidao, as cannon fodder for the Ten Immortal Sects, lost his life once again.
