I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 559 The Day the Thirty-Three Heavens Return to One
"Do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, I, your ancestor, will chop down that broken tree you're living in!"

Ancestor Ziyun jumped onto Jiang Chuan's shoulder and waved his claws at Daoist Wanfa.

"I've almost forgotten how long it's been since a kitten swung its claws at me," Wanfa Daozun chuckled.

Ancestor Ziyun raised his head: "You are not a true Primordial Chaos cultivator, but merely a remnant soul. You cannot even defeat an Immortal Ancestor."

"You're right, I am indeed no longer Hunyuan."

The Daoist Master of Myriad Laws sighed softly, "I will impart to you the 'Myriad Manifestations of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury' and my understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos. I hope you will succeed!"

"Thank you, Daoist Master!"

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands and said, "After I attain the Dao, I will definitely help the Dao Venerable return and reaffirm the Primordial Chaos!"

The nine-colored Myriad Dao Tree emanated boundless divine light from Jiang Chuan's Dao Fruit Universe. The complete "Myriad Manifestations of the Profound Vault of Primordial Chaos True Treasury" and the Myriad Laws Dao Venerable's understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos were like thousands of rivers of time bursting their banks, flowing into Jiang Chuan's mind.

Jiang Chuan immediately sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the essence of the "Myriad Phenomena of the Primordial Chaos" and the Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws' understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The essence of the three thousand great Daos, such as the Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of Life and Death, the Dao of Reincarnation, and the Dao of the Five Elements, kept appearing in Jiang Chuan's mind.

Jiang Chuan felt that with every breath, his understanding of the Great Dao was rapidly improving.

At the same time, the half of the "Myriad Manifestations of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury" carved from the heart of the Myriad Dao Tree, which Taiyi Daojun handed to Jiang Chuan, flew out from Jiang Chuan's body and landed in front of Wanfa Daozun.

"The innate Great Dao is difficult to contend for. Before I chose to contend for the Dao, I guessed that I might perish because of this Dao. Xuanqiong and Taiyi thought that this was just my scripture. In fact, the book that carries the 'Xuanqiong Wanxiang Hunyuan Zhenzang' contains part of my original power. Even if my original body, the Myriad Dao Tree, is destroyed, I can use this original power to recreate a Myriad Dao Tree seed."

There was a hint of complexity in Wanfa Daozun's voice.

"Although Taiyi only brought half of the 'Myriad Phenomena of the Profound Vault of Heaven', the essence contained within it is enough to restore some of the power of the Myriad Dao Tree."

hum!hum!hum!
As soon as Wanfa Daozun finished speaking, the half of the "Myriad Manifestations of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury," crafted from the heart of the Myriad Dao Tree, burst forth with dazzling light, as if a multiverse had been ignited and was burning fiercely. Its unparalleled divine power even made Jiang Chuan, who was in the process of comprehending the Dao, secretly startled.

"Such power! Half of its original essence is already comparable to the limit of the Great Luo Realm. Is this the Primordial Chaos?"

Chi!
The nine-colored divine fire transformed into a beam of divine light, passing through Jiang Chuan's body and flying into his Dao Fruit Universe, heading straight for the Myriad Dao Tree standing in the center of his universe.

Rumble!
The moment the Nine-Colored Divine Fire came into contact with the Myriad Dao Tree, it merged into the Myriad Dao Tree like ripples in water. It was as if a peerless being about to merge with the Dao was awakening. The vast power of the Great Luo and the Dao Fruit Universe that spread throughout the rivers and lakes made his Dao Fruit Universe tremble.

"The Tree of Myriad Paths has also undergone a transformation, recovering some of its peak power, which gives me even greater confidence."

As Jiang Chuan pondered, he closed his eyes once more to comprehend the essence of the "Myriad Phenomena of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury" and the Three Thousand Great Daos.

At the same time, the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor once again came to Jiangchuan's Daoist temple.

This time, instead of going to the palace where Jiang Chuan was in seclusion, she went to a low mountain.

The low mountains are verdant, covered with green pines and cypresses. Emperor Rongxian, dressed in white, sits cross-legged atop the mountain, breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Sensing the aura of Immortal Emperor Qiushui, Immortal Emperor Rong stopped his cultivation and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qiushui, what brings you here today to see me?"

"I originally intended to go into seclusion, but my master sent a message asking me to come and see Fellow Daoist Rong." Immortal Emperor Qiushui stepped out from the void.

"Qing Emperor?"

Emperor Rong frowned slightly: "I wonder why the Azure Emperor has summoned you to see me?"

Autumn Water Immortal Emperor replied, "My master asked me to ask Fellow Daoist Rong a question: Do you wish to attain the Great Luo Dao?"

"Does the Azure Emperor dare to let me attain the Great Luo Dao?"

Emperor Rongxian laughed, saying that the path he cultivated was too unique.

He merges with the Dao, merges with the starry sky, and the power of the starry sky becomes his power; he merges with time, and the power of time becomes his power.

Before even attaining the Great Luo Dao, he was already able to merge with the Heavenly Dao of the Underworld and, with the help of the Heavenly Dao of the Underworld, strike against the Azure History God Venerable who had refined a portion of the Underworld's origin.

If he were to attain the Great Luo Dao, he would surely be able to merge with the infinite multiverse!

It should be understood that no matter how high the realm of the Immortal Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, or Taiyi Dao Lord is, as long as they do not conform to the Dao, they are merely Great Luo Immortals.

Its own size is equivalent to the multiverse!

The infinite multiverse is essentially equivalent to true primordial chaos!

Once he merges with the infinite multiverse through the Dao, even if he is limited by his realm and strength and can only control a portion of the power of the infinite multiverse, it will be enough to overpower beings like the Immortal Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor!

"Why wouldn't Master dare?"

The Autumn Water Immortal Emperor laughed and said, "You are originally an immortal of my Heavenly Court. What you should be most worried about when you attain the Great Luo realm is the enemy of the Heavenly Court."

"I died fighting for the Heavenly Court back then, which repaid the Heavenly Emperor's kindness. Now that I have returned, I can no longer be considered a Heavenly Court cultivator."

Upon hearing Emperor Rong's words, Emperor Qiushui asked, "Of the four great prodigies of the Heavenly Court, only you, fellow Daoist, have not yet attained the Great Luo Dao. Are you truly not considering it?"

“I have heard that the Sage of Literature left behind four maxims in the Qingyuan Realm. The first three are: the unity of heaven and earth, the rise of Qingyuan from calamity, and the return of all heavens.”

As Emperor Rong Xian rose, he spoke, “The lotus leaf that carried the prophecy was destroyed, and of the last four characters, only the words ‘Daluo’ remain. The first three lines are easy to understand: Qingwei Heaven is reunited, and the great calamity arises from Qingyuan Realm. This actually refers to the struggle between the Immortal Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor and other Daluo beings after the calamity of the reunification of the two realms, in order to bring Qingwei Heaven back. After the Thirty-Three Heavens are unified, the Immortal Ancestor will likely merge with the Dao. Whether the words ‘Daluo’ mean Dao demise, bloodshed, or annihilation, the calamity caused by a Dao-merging being is enough to annihilate many Daluo beings in the heavens. Daojun Jiang also once told me that the opportunity for me to prove the Dao will only come after the Thirty-Three Heavens are unified. Now that the Azure Emperor is asking me to prove the Dao, he probably just wants to use me as a pawn, doesn’t he?”

"How could I possibly know what my master is thinking?" Autumn Water Immortal Emperor neither admitted nor denied it.

"With the help of the three Great Luo Immortals—the Eldest Princess, the Azure History God, and the Eternal Emperor—the Azure Emperor still wants me to attain enlightenment. What exactly is His purpose?" Emperor Rong's gaze was like a sword.

"You should ask your master about this matter. Fellow Daoist Rong, if you change your mind, you can come to the Underworld to find me at any time." After saying this, Immortal Emperor Qiushui turned and left.

"The Autumn Water Immortal Emperor went to see the Glory Immortal Emperor."

On the first level of heaven, Daoist Zhuzhao lowered his eyes and looked at the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor who was flying away from the Jiangchuan Daoist Temple.

"She must have gone to see Emperor Rongxian on behalf of Emperor Qing. After Emperor Qing helped the Princess and Emperor Qingshi attain the Great Luo Dao, did he also want to help Emperor Rongxian attain the Dao?"

"A great calamity is imminent, and even the Great Luo Immortals must strive to cross it."

The Two Elements Taoist stepped forward and walked to the Candlelight Taoist.

"Junior brother, Master just sent me a telepathic message."

Daoist Zhuzhao asked, "What did Master say in his telepathic message, Senior Brother?"

The Two Elements Daoist said softly, "My master instructed me to take you away from the Immortal Realm."

"Leave the Immortal Realm!" The eyes of Daoist Zhuzhao blazed with divine light: "Master is indeed about to merge with the Dao!"

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor both failed in their attempts to merge with the Dao by severing the Three Corpses. Master will surely achieve Dao through a calamity of slaughter. I now both hope that Master will succeed in merging with the Dao, and worry that we will also become ashes in the calamity that leads to Master's merging with the Dao." The Two Elements Daoist's gaze became profound.

"If even we are affected, how many living beings will be left in all the myriad realms?"

As the Daoist Zhuzhao looked down upon the bustling world of mortals, he seemed to see the mortal world vanish and all the heavens and worlds be destroyed.

"Who knows?"

The Two Elements Daoist abruptly changed the subject: "Junior Brother, where do you think I should take you?"

"Go to the Underworld. The entire universe can be divided into three layers. At the top is the Celestial Realm, which is the Heavenly Realm and the parallel realms of the Demon Realm, the Buddhist Realm, and so on. In the middle are the myriad realms, and at the bottom is the Underworld."

The Daoist Zhuzhao analyzed, "Master's attainment of the Dao must have originated in the Immortal Realm, and most of the myriad realms will likely be affected as well. The Underworld should be the world that suffered the least aftermath of the great war."

"Very well, let's go to the underworld then."

"Abbot, something's not right!"

Abbot Kongming sat in the Bodhi Hall, which had just been moved to a starry sky, and asked Elder Jingzhen, who rushed in in a hurry, "What's wrong, Jingzhen?"

"I discovered in the long river of time that many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist realm crossed the river of time and went to ancient times."

Elder Jingzhen paused for a moment, then continued, "The Heavenly Court has gained two more Great Luo Immortals, and that brat Jingyang has also stormed into the Buddhist Realm to forcibly seize the Other Shore Arrow. I suspect that the great calamity to come will be even more serious than Ziyun told me."

“My cultivation is too low. I only had a vague feeling about the battle between Jingyang and the Tathagata Buddha in the Buddhist realm. It seemed to span the past, present, and future, a chaotic void. Jingzhen, did you see that great battle clearly?” Abbot Kongming asked.

"The Immortal Ancestor has made his move!"

Elder Jingzhen solemnly said, "I didn't see who the enemy was, because from the moment that person appeared until the moment they finished their attack and left, it wasn't even a tenth of a second had passed."

"Immortal Ancestor."

Abbot Kongming frowned deeply: "Jingzhen, if we're going to move, where will we go? Will we go to Shanggu as well?"

"Jingyang is in seclusion, and I don't know where to go."

Elder Jingzhen was also very troubled: "We are also from the Buddhist lineage, why don't we go and ask the Tathagata Buddha of Many Treasures?"

After pondering for a moment, Abbot Kongming agreed: "Very well, then you should go and seek an audience with the Buddha."

The disciples of the Immortal Ancestor left the First Heaven, and the Buddhas of the Buddhist Realm went to the ancient time and space. This made the Immortal Emperors and Gods of all the heavens and myriad realms sense the impending calamity. They suspected that the Immortal Ancestor was going to merge with the Dao like the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor, so they all left their Daoist temples to find a place to avoid the calamity.

The top powers and great beings of all realms fled, but for the unsuspecting cultivators, the entire universe ushered in a golden age of cultivation.

The departure of the three realms of Qingyuan Realm from Qingwei Heaven, coupled with Jiang Chuan's killing of Tai'an Immortal Emperor, left Qingwei Heaven and Tai'an Huangya Heaven, two of the original thirty-three heavens, as unclaimed territories.

Cultivators from all realms went to these two sacred cultivation lands to cultivate, and the two saints also ordered their disciples to go to all realms to preach to human cultivators.

Over the course of several hundred years, countless True Immortals and Immortal Kings emerged throughout the myriad realms, as if we had returned to the ancient era before the innate spiritual energy had dissipated in the myriad realms.

"Millions of years have passed! Jiang Chuan, how much longer is this guy going to go into seclusion?"

Ancestor Ziyun lay on the palace floor, wagging his fluffy tail endlessly.

“My ‘Mysterious Vault of Myriad Phenomena Primordial True Treasury’ is not so easy to comprehend. An existence that has just attained the Great Luo realm must comprehend it for at least tens or hundreds of billions of years. Even if he is a Great Luo Golden Number, he still needs to comprehend it for many eons before he can fully understand it and reach the limit of the Great Luo realm.” The Dao Venerable of Myriad Laws sat cross-legged on a cloud bed formed by nine-colored light and spoke slowly.

"If I had known he was going to be in seclusion for so long, I wouldn't have come in with him."

The rabbit also looked utterly dejected. He had only spent millions of years in Baoshan, but now he was spending several times that amount of time in the palace.

“You are all spirits of innate spiritual treasures, and you will get used to it sooner or later. When I traveled through the Chaos Sea in the past, I secluded myself in a universe. When I came out of seclusion again, that universe was almost destroyed.”

The Daoist Master of Myriad Laws laughed and said, "This period of time is but a fleeting moment in the long lifespan of a Great Luo Immortal. Huh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wanfa Daozun suddenly looked at Jiang Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged.

Ancestor Ziyun and the rabbit both looked at Jiang Chuan.

Because they discovered that Jiang Chuan's aura was constantly expanding!

Boom! ! !
After its transformation, the Myriad Dao Tree, under Jiang Chuan's encouragement, unleashed boundless Dao light, illuminating his Dao Fruit Universe.

The three thousand Great Daos—the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Five Elements, and the Dao of Nothingness—trembled simultaneously, like three hundred billion galaxies pouring into his universe.

"The Primordial True Chapter of Chaos!"

Jiang Chuan used his own scriptures to manipulate the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, propelling the Dao Fruit Universe, which had already transformed into a multiverse, to continue its evolution.

Rumble!
Like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, cleaving through the boundless chaos, the chaos at the edge of the universe immediately dissipated, transforming into the ever-moving earth, wind, water, and fire, from which countless starry skies were born.

Every instant, hundreds of millions of stars emerge from the universe.

A river of time, spanning twelve thousand miles in width, manifested from the starry sky and began to expand along with the universe.

13,000 li
Fourteen thousand li
After a dozen or so breaths, the width of the River of Time reached 18,000 li, and it continued to expand.

As the river of time widens, for every two thousand miles it branches off into a tributary, flowing into the future.

两条

Shijo
Soon, the number of tributaries in the river of time of Jiangchuan Daoguo Universe increased to six.

Six universes, identical to the main universe of Jiangchuan Daoguo Universe, emerged from these six tributaries.

Rumble!
Suddenly, the entire palace began to shake. Ancestor Ziyun asked in surprise, "What happened? Is someone attacking Jiangchuan's dojo?"

"It wasn't that someone attacked Jiang Chuan's Daoist temple; his temple was simply affected," Wanfa Daozun explained.

"spread."

The rabbit realized, "The Immortal Ancestor has made a move?"

"good."

The Daoist Master of Myriad Laws nodded slightly, his gaze piercing through the barrier of the Great Dao of Chaos, looking towards the Pure Heaven: "The Great Void has made its move. It seems that today is the day when the Thirty-Three Heavens will be unified."
