I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 558 From beginning to end, there was only one path to take.
"Seize the Arrow of the Other Shore and escape unscathed!"

The Venerable Tongyou, standing atop a mountain in the underworld, gazed at Jiangchuan, who had departed from the Buddhist realm, his brow furrowed.

Why aren't the Azure Emperor and the Eternal Emperor making a move?

"I'm also very curious why Master doesn't take action."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor stepped out from the void.

"Didn't the Azure Emperor explain this to you?" Tongyou God Venerable asked in surprise.

"I can no longer see through my master. I feel that my master is like a cultivator shrouded in endless mist."

Autumn Water Immortal Emperor smiled bitterly: "I am now even beginning to doubt the truth of what my master told us after the ancient war: that He would resurrect the Heavenly Emperor."

“Not only us, but all the Great Luo Immortals in the myriad realms believe that everything the Azure Emperor has done is for the purpose of resurrecting the Heavenly Emperor.”

The Divine Venerable Tongyou paused for a moment, then continued, "If everything the Azure Emperor did wasn't for the purpose of resurrecting the Heavenly Emperor, why couldn't the Underworld Emperor and the Eternal Emperor see it?"

Autumn Water Immortal Emperor shook his head: "I don't know, but based on my understanding of my master, it seems that He is playing a very big game."

"The Eldest Princess and the Azure History God Venerable have just attained the Great Luo Dao with the help of the Azure Emperor. If the Azure Emperor is playing chess, then what are they? Chess pieces?" asked the Tongyou God Venerable.

"Who knows?"

The Autumn Water Immortal Emperor's gaze seemed to pierce through countless ages and look toward the endless future.

"But I believe that on the day the thirty-three heavens unite, everything will come to a conclusion. And everything will perhaps be revealed."

"Wang!"

When Jiang Chuan returned to the temple, he saw Taihuang, Ancestor Ziyun, and the rabbit.

Taihuang leaned close to Jiang Chuan: "Jiang Chuan, you bastard, why didn't you tell me sooner that you were going to steal the Other Shore Arrow? If we had followed you, we could have plundered the Buddhist realm!"

Jiang Chuan was speechless: "If I really bring you guys, my reputation will be ruined."

He attacked the Buddha of Many Treasures, stole the Arrow of the Other Shore, and then Taihuang, together with the Old Ancestor of Purple Cloud and the Rabbit, attacked the Buddhist realm. What kind of reputation would he have?

The universe's number one robber?

The greatest enemy of Buddhism?

A disgrace to the Great Luo?
"You talk as if you have a great reputation now." Rabbit clearly didn't like Jiang Chuan's statement.

Taihuang shook its dog head up and down: "That's right, both of your innate spiritual treasures have bad reputations, so how can you, as their master, be a good person?"

Jiangchuan: "."

Thank you for reminding me that I haven't severed ties with Rabbit and Ancestor Ziyun yet!
"Jiang Chuan, where is Sister Bingyun?"

Lu Chenling, who had come to greet Jiang Chuan, asked in confusion.

"Bingyun will be cultivating in the Heavenly Pool Immortal Land for a period of time." Jiang Chuan's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

He naturally wanted to bring Mu Bingyun back, but the Yuanling God Venerable, or rather the Azure Emperor, who had revealed everything, would never allow Mu Bingyun to leave.

"Junior brother, are you injured?" Jiang Yingyue, who came with Lu Chenling, noticed something unusual in Jiang Chuan's voice.

"As the chief disciple of the Buddha of Immeasurable World, how could I not be injured when I clashed with the Buddha of Many Treasures? I will be going into seclusion now. Senior Sister, Chen Ling, I entrust this place to you."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he walked into the palace of the dojo.

Ancestor Ziyun and the rabbit exchanged a glance and followed Jiang Chuan into the palace.

hum!hum!hum!
One after another, the laws of chaos descended from the sky, enveloping the entire palace. In an instant, the entire palace seemed to transcend the primordial chaos of heaven and earth, no longer existing within the universe.

"Jiang Chuan, do you really intend to follow the Azure Emperor's plan and shoot two arrows from the other shore on the day the thirty-three heavens unite?" the rabbit asked.

"The Azure Emperor's plan was quite good; He even detained Bingyun, forcing me to submit."

Jiang Chuan took out two golden arrows from the other shore: "But the Immortal Ancestor isn't stupid either. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

"It's quite a coincidence that someone brings you a pillow just as you're about to doze off."

The rabbit nodded: "In Fenghe Daojun's view, Taixu Daojun should be using you as a pawn and winning over Yuanling Shenjun, but Taixu Daojun must know that He did not win over Yuanling Shenjun."

"The Immortal Ancestor is unaware of the relationship between Yuanling Divine Lord and the Azure Emperor. If I were the Immortal Ancestor, I'm afraid I would suspect at this moment whether Yuanling Divine Lord is backed by the Demon Ancestor or the Supreme Dao Lord."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the rabbit asked, "Are you worried that the Immortal Ancestor will delay the day when the Thirty-Three Heavens will be unified?"

"No, I'm not worried at all."

Jiang Chuan denied it: "The Taiyi Dao Lord's goal is the Myriad Dao Tree, which is now on my person. The Immortal Ancestor only needs to reveal this secret. The Outer Heaven and the Demon Ancestor are not on the same side; their alliance is only to deal with the Immortal Ancestor. Even the Sky-Supporting Immortal Emperor said that the Outer Heaven was dragged down by the Demon Ancestor. The Taiyi Dao Lord and Jade Fall True Person know that besieging the Immortal Ancestor also carries the risk of their own demise. Upon seeing the Myriad Dao Tree, they will inevitably temporarily abandon the Immortal Ancestor and come to kill me. And now I have two Other Shore Arrows, which can certainly hold off the Taiyi Dao Lord and Jade Fall True Person for a longer time. This is advantageous to the Immortal Ancestor. As a disciple of the Primordial Chaos, the Immortal Ancestor has prepared for so long; he shouldn't only have me as his trump card. I'm curious, what other trump cards does the Immortal Ancestor have?"

"It's no use thinking about it."

Ancestor Ziyun flicked his large tail: "I'm afraid only Daoist Taixu can answer this question for you in all the heavens and myriad realms."

"No, there should be one more person who can answer me."

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ancestor Ziyun was slightly taken aback: "Taihuang? Impossible, he's just the spirit of a primordial spiritual treasure. A disciple of Daoist Taixu?"

"neither."

Ancestor Ziyun was very puzzled: "Neither? Then who can answer you?"

"The Venerable One of All Laws," Jiang Chuan said, enunciating each word clearly.

The rabbit looked completely bewildered: "The Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws? But wasn't the Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws already dead?"

Even a centipede, though dead, does not stiffen.

Jiang Chuan laughed, "Even after the Taiyuan Dao Venerable's Dao perished and his origin transformed into the universe, he still retained wisps of lingering will, unable to bear seeing his two disciples fight each other. How could the Wanfa Dao Venerable be completely annihilated? You agree, right, Wanfa Dao Venerable?" "How did you guess that?"

A voice suddenly rang out, its gender indiscernible, like the sacred and majestic voice of the Great Dao. Any living being that heard the voice would subconsciously feel a sense of insignificance.

Chi!
Ten thousand branches and leaves swayed, and a nine-colored ray of light flew out from them, passed through Jiang Chuan Dao Fruit, and appeared in the palace where he was in seclusion, transforming into a blurry figure shrouded in the nine-colored light.

The moment they saw the figure, even someone as powerful as Jiang Chuan felt a sense of awe and reverence.

He felt that the 'person' before him was the manifestation of the Great Dao, the embodiment of all supernatural powers and magic in the world, and was incredibly majestic!

Sacred, immeasurable, supreme, unparalleled.
All the words he knew of that could not describe even a fraction of its power.

"Is this the Primordial Chaos?"

Jiang Chuan sighed with emotion, his eyes filled with longing.

"A wisp of remnant soul cannot be considered a true Primordial Chaos."

Wanfa Daozun spoke again: "Were you able to discover me because of the glance I gave you when you were refining the Myriad Dao Tree?"

"good."

Jiang Chuan frankly admitted: "At that time, I thought it was the Immortal Ancestor lowering his gaze, but my universe had already been created. According to Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I was already at the half-step Great Luo Golden Age, but at that time I only seemed to feel a gaze. Therefore, I felt that this was definitely not something a Great Luo could do. In addition, I learned from Daoist Taiyi that the Venerable One still had remnants in the world, so I concluded that it must have been the Dao Venerable One who glanced at me."

"I sensed your aura when I was with Daoist Taixu. You were only at the initial stage of the Great Luo realm. I sensed you refining the Myriad Dao Tree, and I was curious why Taixu entrusted the Myriad Dao Tree to you, so I cast my gaze upon you. I did not expect your cultivation to advance so rapidly," Daoist Wanfa explained.

"It seems that the Daoist Master is weaker than I imagined."

Jiang Chuan knew very well that if Wanfa Daozun had overheard his conversation with the Immortal Ancestor, he would know that Jiang Chuan intended to use the Wandao Tree to create a universe and prove the Dao of Existence.

Since the Venerable of All Laws was unaware of this, it meant that He had no way of listening to their conversation.

"After all, Taixu is a being who cultivates both paths simultaneously and is about to merge with the Dao."

Wanfa Daozun explained, "With only a wisp of my soul remaining, I naturally had to lie dormant to avoid being discovered by Him. He has always suspected that I haven't completely vanished, which is one of the reasons why He entrusted the Myriad Dao Tree to you. In this state, it's impossible for me to discover His scheme and backup plan."

"Whether Dao Venerable knows about the Immortal Ancestor's plan or not, I don't really care. I only asked Dao Venerable to show himself for one thing."

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands in a salute to Wanfa Daozun: "I humbly request Daozun's assistance in my attainment of the Primordial Dao!"

"Proving the Dao of Primordial Chaos."

Wanfa Daozun paused for a moment, then continued, "Why do you think I would help you?"

"The reason why the Immortal Ancestor could discover the Dao Venerable is because the Immortal Ancestor's true realm has already surpassed that of the Great Luo. As long as he successfully merges with the Dao, he will become a Primordial Being."

Jiang Chuan's mind conjured up images of the Great Luo Immortals such as the Sage of War, the Sage of Literature, and the Azure Emperor.

"No matter how strong I am, I am still one or two steps away from the limit of the Great Luo realm. During this time, the Dao Venerable of Myriad Laws has been with me and must have seen many Great Luo realms in this universe. He should also have some understanding of my current situation. The Twin Saints used me to revive the Heart Saint, the Immortal Ancestor used me to prove the Dao of Hunyuan, the Supreme Dao Lord plotted against me to deal with the Immortal Ancestor, and the Azure Emperor used me as a pawn to plot against many Great Luo realms. I seem to be related to many Great Luo realms, but in reality, I am just their pawn, being used by them."

"You are indeed a pathetic person."

Wanfa Daozun nodded slightly: "But you don't think I would help you out of pity, do you?"

"I asked the Daoist for help, also for the Daoist's sake," Jiang Chuan replied.

"Considering my interests? Interesting. I'd like to hear how you intend to consider my interests." Wanfa Daozun became interested.

"For a Primordial Chaos cultivator who has perished, the thing they most want to do is return."

Jiang Chuan relayed what he had learned from Taiyi Daojun to Wanfa Daozun: "Daozun's eldest disciple, Xuanqiong Daojun, in order to achieve Dao integration and prevent Daozun's return, used the Great Dao of Techniques to connect with the Three Thousand Great Daos to seal the heavens and earth, suppressing all cultivators with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. All cultivators who wish to break through must obtain His permission and receive the Heavenly Fruit Position bestowed by Him before they can break through. I think the universe created by Daozun, even if it is not an infinite multiverse, is still one of the best among multiverses. Xuanqiong Daojun's ability to change the heavens and earth with the Great Dao of Techniques proves that He has already reached the Great Luo Limit and can achieve Dao integration. If the Great Dao of Techniques is occupied by Xuanqiong Daojun, will Daozun still be Daozun after his return?"

Wanfa Daozun did not deny it. "You are right, but if you want to deal with Xuanqiong, there are many Da Luo who are more suitable than you in this universe."

"A difference of a hair's breadth is like heaven and earth. I, Jiang, am indeed no match for Dao Lord Xuanqiong. Only those who have reached the pinnacle of the Great Luo realm can contend with Dao Lord Xuanqiong."

Jiang Chuan explained the many Great Luo Immortals in this universe: "Of the many Great Luo Immortals in this world, only five have reached the pinnacle of Great Luo. Among these five, Taiyi Daojun wants to seize the Dao of Dao Venerable's magic; Immortal Ancestor and Fenghe Daojun have a blood feud with Dao Venerable for killing their master; Demon Ancestor is a primordial deity born from the interaction of the Great Dao and has nothing to do with Dao Venerable; and Qingdi's voluntary abandonment of the Myriad Dao Tree was also out of fear of Dao Venerable's remnant soul. Dao Venerable's most likely partners are Demon Ancestor and Qingdi, but helping them attain the Primordial Dao is merely icing on the cake. Even if they attain the Primordial Dao, at most they can help you deal with Xuanqiong Daojun, and even without Xuanqiong Daojun, can Dao Venerable's reincarnation necessarily re-attain the Dao of magic?"

The Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Jiang Chuan pressed his advantage: "Both my *Hun Dong Yuan Shi Zhen Zhang* and *Xuan Qiong Wan Xiang Hun Yuan Zhen Cang* are scriptures that manipulate the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The difference is that my *Hun Dong Yuan Shi Zhen Zhang* evolves the universe, while *Xuan Qiong Wan Xiang Hun Yuan Zhen Cang* is the source of all laws, evolving all the scriptures of the heavens through the Three Thousand Great Daos. Dao Venerable's assistance to me is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, a true grace of attaining Dao! Such a grace, even if I attain the Dao of Hun Yuan, I can never repay. I will certainly do everything in my power to protect Dao Venerable's reincarnated body when it returns!"

“My ‘Myriad Manifestations of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury’ is indeed of great benefit to your ‘Primordial Chaos True Chapter’. Even if you cannot reach the limit of the Great Dao, I am imparting to you my understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos over many years, which can allow you to use the results to manifest the Dao and reach the level of merging with the Dao. But what makes you think that you can prove the Dao of Primordial Chaos? You can’t just rely on these two arrows, can you?” The Myriad Laws Dao Venerable’s gaze fell on the Other Shore Arrow in Jiang Chuan’s hand.

"Reaching the Dao Integration Realm does not necessarily mean one can attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor would have already successfully attained the Primordial Chaos Realm."

Jiang Chuan did not deny Wanfa Daozun's words: "But even if I fail, what loss would it be for Daozun?"

Whether it's the complete "Myriad Phenomena of the Profound Vault of Heaven" or the insights gained by the Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws from comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos, they are undoubtedly invaluable, but they don't simply disappear once they are passed on to Jiang Chuan.

The Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws can pass on his teachings to Jiang Chuan, and naturally he can also pass them on to others.

Even if Jiang Chuan fails to attain the Great Luo Dao and perishes in the Silent Dao, what will the Myriad Laws Dao Venerable lose?
The Daoist Master of All Laws fell silent, and the palace became eerily quiet.

Both the Purple Cloud Ancestor and the rabbit stared at the Myriad Laws Daoist, awaiting His reply.

Jiang Chuan stared intently at Wanfa Daozun, awaiting His answer.

He knew very well that there was only one path ahead of him!

That is to tear apart the huge nets that surround him!

What he cultivates is my path, and what he seeks is a clear understanding of his thoughts!

How can one achieve clarity of thought without tearing apart the numerous nets that envelop him?!
How to cultivate the Tao?

Therefore, from beginning to end, Jiang Chuan only had one path in front of him!
