Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The refining method of the Celestial Refining Cauldron is just right.

After the Nine Cauldrons are forged, they are placed at key nodes in the universe or on important ancient stars. They can regulate the earth's veins, stabilize the stars, harmonize yin and yang, and suppress the flow of fortune.

It can also form an invisible protective network covering all the heavens.

This is of great benefit to enhancing the stability and vitality of the entire world.

The stronger the foundation of the world, the higher its potential, and the less difficult it will be for future beings to break through to higher realms.

The higher the world's potential, the stronger Jiang Hao becomes; the stronger Jiang Hao becomes, the higher the world's potential.

They can be said to complement each other.

Refining the Nine Cauldrons will be one of Jiang Hao's more important tasks in the future.

As for why he chose the shape of a ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), Jiang Hao smiled slightly, recalling the ancient legends on that water-blue planet in his memory.

"The Nine Tripods of China, which govern the fortunes of the nine provinces... that's quite fitting."

He decided that the first cauldron would be cast on the Ziwei Star.

The Ziwei Star has produced three human cultivators who have attained enlightenment in succession, and its fortune is long-lasting, making it the most suitable place for the Nine Cauldrons to be the starting point.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao began to take action.

……

For the next thousand years, Jiang Hao remained on the ancient star Ziwei and began his seclusion.

He didn't make a big fuss, but instead created an independent little world deep within the Dao Seeking Sect.

Using the collected divine materials as the main component, supplemented by his own imperial laws and extracted star essence, he began to slowly forge the first cauldron.

Meanwhile, he continued his seclusion, devoting himself to comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos.

Those two drops of blood essence belonging to the two human emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, became his best reference and source of inspiration.

Although a thousand years of contemplation did not allow him to immediately break through a major barrier, it made his understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos more complete and transparent.

The understanding of the evolution of Yin and Yang and the birth and death of all things has reached a completely new level.

He had a vague feeling that he was steadily approaching a certain limit.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have quietly passed since Jiang Hao forcibly opened the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path and welcomed back the remains of the Taiyin Human Emperor.

This millennium was the most peaceful period in the universe since the beginning of the Ancient Era, and also the period of the most rapid development of the human race.

The Chaos Emperor Jiang Hao reigned supreme over all the heavens. His invincible power and forceful methods deeply shocked all forbidden zones of life and those ancient royal families and races from all realms who harbored hostility towards humanity.

Large-scale dark upheavals and bloody purges against humanity have almost disappeared, and the Origin Realm has ushered in a long-awaited period of peace.

Of course, friction between races, struggles for territories, and competition for resources in secret realms are still common occurrences in the cultivation world.

These things are impossible to completely eliminate; they will happen as long as living beings exist.

But at least it's confined to certain rules and bottom lines, no longer resulting in the catastrophic destruction of entire races and even the extinction of entire planets.

As the star that produced three human beings who achieved enlightenment—Taiyin, Taiyang, and Hundun—Ziwei Ancient Star has risen to an unprecedented level of status.

All races came to pay homage, and hundreds of boats raced against each other. Countless cultivators came to admire the place, some for pilgrimage, some for trade, and some to settle down.

Its prosperity and flourishing, the number of powerful individuals and the density of its influence have already surpassed those of the ancient life-originating stars, truly becoming a symbol of the human race's spirit and its de facto ancestral home.

Here, as long as basic order is observed, different races can generally live in harmony, forming a rare kind of inclusive prosperity.

After welcoming back the legacy of their respective human emperors, the Taiyin God Cult and the Taiyang God Cult have restored their foundations and prestige to their ancient heyday.

Along with the Daoist Sect from which Jiang Hao originated, it is ranked as one of the three supreme Daoist lineages of Ziwei Star.

The three great lineages, acting on Jiang Hao's orders, traveled across the star fields to educate humanity, spread cultivation methods, and mediate large-scale disputes.

With the legitimacy of their imperial lineage and the endorsement of Jiang Hao's invincible reputation, the three major powers naturally became the maintainers and guides of the human race's order.

Before going into seclusion, Jiang Hao widely circulated the most basic chapters of his "Chaos Scripture".

The text does not involve specific profound secret techniques, but it points directly to the fundamental principles of the Great Way, with lofty aspirations.

For thousands of years, almost every cultivator with a modicum of knowledge in the universe has studied this Fundamentals of Chaos. Countless geniuses have gleaned a sliver of the true meaning of Chaos from it and embarked on the legendary path to invincibility.

Although not many people have successfully grasped the true meaning of chaos, it has indeed greatly broadened the horizons of cultivators and promoted the collision and development of cultivation theories.

According to Jiang Hao's initial plan, the three major Dao lineages will spread throughout the major life-bearing star regions of the universe, especially the areas inhabited by humans, over the past thousand years.

Temples were successively built to worship the Yin Emperor, the Sun Emperor, and the Chaos Emperor Jiang Hao.

The temples are uniform in size and form, and are solemn and dignified.

The daily management and sacrificial activities of the temple were presided over by core disciples dispatched by the three major Taoist lineages in rotation.

They not only presided over the sacrificial rites, but also told the local people about the great deeds of the three human emperors in protecting the human race, opening up the great road, and deterring the forbidden zones, spreading their spirit of selfless virtue.

These temples are extremely popular with worshippers.

Whether they are ordinary mortals grateful for the protection of the sages, cultivators praying for a smooth path on their path, or alien races simply expressing their respect, they are all willing to offer a stick of incense.

Over time, a vast amount of pure faith and willpower crossed the starry sky and converged towards the Ziwei Star and the divine images of the three.

Some of these aspirations were channeled into the Ziwei Cauldron being cast by Jiang Haodao, while others were stored in a special container for future use.

The Daoist Sect, originating from the Chaos Emperor, is now a truly powerful and influential imperial lineage that commands respect throughout the world.

The sect boasts a magnificent atmosphere, with countless disciples and numerous geniuses emerging.

Its influence, through its missionary disciples and temple system spread throughout the universe, permeated every corner of the myriad realms, reaching an unprecedented peak.

After a thousand years of seclusion, Jiang Hao's cultivation level improved significantly, but he also found it increasingly difficult to improve further.

He could clearly sense that there was an invisible yet incredibly strong barrier in front of him.

"Is this the limit of the universe?" Jiang Hao sighed.

No wonder no one can become an immortal in this world today, because of the current state of the world.

There is a limit to one's strength in one lifetime. To increase one's strength, one must undergo transformations life after life, gradually increasing one's power.

This is due to the limitations imposed by the Great Dao rules of this world, a natural shackle caused by the incomplete origin after the Immortal Realm was shattered, binding all living beings and making it difficult for everyone to break through to the true realm of immortality.

Jiang Hao could sense that if he disregarded everything and forcibly broke through this barrier with his unparalleled combat power, he might step into another level.

That was the path that the ancient War Emperor once tried to take—breaking through barriers with force and transforming into a War Immortal.

"But this path, under the current conditions, is almost a dead end."

Jiang Hao calmly assessed that it was no accident that the War Emperor, with his extraordinary talent, ultimately met a dismal end.

Moreover, if the Path to Immortality were feasible, Dao Venerable, Donghuang, and the others would have left long ago.

Countless people have proven with their lives that this is a dead end.

The origin of heaven and earth is flawed, and the Great Dao is incomplete; forcibly breaking through will only lead to destruction.

Therefore, Jiang Hao sought a new path, one of which was to try to raise the upper limit of the world.

When the world itself becomes stronger and its origins are complete, the difficulty of breakthroughs naturally decreases.

After entering the path to immortality last time, he also tried to open that immortal gate, not because he wanted to go in.

And simply wanting to give it a try, he eventually opened a crack and discovered some good things.
