"It's been two thousand years. Gu Hong, since your disciple is here, we can begin." At the instant the Sovereign of Ancient Zang's presence surged into the sky and all of Ancient Zang worshiped him, Tian Xiu Luo's voice brought with it a power that seemed to be able to pierce through the world and crush all chaos. When it reverberated in the air, he stood on the third tower as if he was with the Sovereign of Ancient Zang.
"There is no need for us to take action to verify Boundless Dao. If the three of us take action, Ancient Zang will not need to exist … There is no need for us to discuss Dao either. The three of us firmly believe in Dao. No matter how much we discuss it, it will be useless.
It's just like how it has been during the many discussions of Dao over the past two thousand years. "Gu Hong's gaze was calm as he looked at the other two people who stood at the peak of Ancient Zang.
"Tian Xiu Luo, what you want to prove is your own Dao, which is the true Boundless Dao. The Sovereign Emperor is not taking the initiative here, because his legacy is the legacy of the Emperor of Ancient Zang, and the Emperor of Ancient Zang has never needed us to determine whether his Boundless Dao is real or fake.
"As for this old man, I really do want to know if the Dao I've cultivated in my life and the realm I've stepped into right now is an illusion or … the bright moon in the sky." As the old man's words echoed in the air, Su Ming stood by his side with a calm expression. He watched everything happening before him, and he knew that this was a rare chance for him to witness a ceremony.
To him, this kind of ceremony was equivalent to good fortune.
The Asura was silent for a moment before a cold smile appeared on his face. His emotionless voice slowly echoed out.
"How?"
"You could have chosen, but you purposely ignored it. Instead, you chose to defeat me and the Emperor to prove your Boundless Dao. Xiu Luo, why ask a question you already know the answer to? "The old man was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke, and a hint of determination appeared on his face.
When he said those words, the Sovereign of Ancient Zang lifted his head swiftly. After staring at the old man for a moment, the middle-aged sovereign suddenly laughed.
"Are you talking about Ancient Zang Heaven?"
"Ancient Zang Heaven …" A dark light shone in Tian Xiu Luo's eyes. After a moment of silence, he swung his arm.
"Very well. There are thirty-three Skies in Ancient Zang. In the past, the Emperor of Ancient Zang stepped through thirty-two Skies and reached Boundless Dao Realm. It is said that only those who have surpassed the power of Boundless Dao Realm can step into the final Sky. Those who have surpassed the thirtieth Sky cannot step into it … Ancient Zang Sky … since the two of you have already made your choice, I will step into it with you." As Tian Xiu Luo's voice echoed in the air, it was filled with determination and determination.
He had indeed intentionally ignored the existence of Ancient Zang Heaven. He wanted to win against the Sovereign Emperor and Gu Hong and become the strongest in Ancient Zang to prove his Dao, but right then … he still chose … the path that he could not take if he was not in Boundless Dao Realm.
This was not his earliest choice, because he cared about success and failure. But now … this was the only way.
The old man lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the sky. With it, the sky roared, and the clouds tumbled about as if they had turned into a raging sea. That raging sea tumbled about, and in an instant, it covered the entire sky of Ancient Zang.
"In that case, I will use my own cultivation base to split open the Heavens!" When the old man's words echoed in the air, the sky immediately roared. The tumbling clouds looked as if they were about to shatter. Cracks filled the air, as if they were about to connect to an ancient world.
At the same time, Tian Xiu Luo's voice echoed in the air.
"I will now open the Burial Gate." Tian Xiu Luo pushed his right hand against the ground. With it, all of Ancient Zang roared. Fog instantly rose from all directions, and it contained a thick aura of death. It was the resentment gathered by the people who had died over the years. At that moment, that resentment tumbled backwards and charged towards the capital, straight towards Tian Xiu Luo's right hand.
The Sovereign sighed softly on the tower at the center. He lifted his hands and looked as if he was propping them up against the sky.
"The source of Ancient Zang was originally beyond the thirty-three Skies … With Ancient Zang's kismet and with me, the Sovereign of Ancient Zang … I will open the Heavens of Ancient Zang!" When he said those words, he tore at the sky with his hands. With it, the world roared, and the loud booming sounds reverberated in all directions, shaking the sky and earth.
At the instant the sky was torn apart, a huge vortex was formed at the center. It tumbled up, and the layers of clouds and fog the old man had stirred up instantly turned white. They were all swept into the vortex.
At the same time, the resentment of death on the ground charged into the sky. Once it fused into the vortex, it turned black. During that instant, it looked as if there were only two colors left in the world: black and white.
There was no sky, and neither was there any ground. Only the three of them and Su Ming could see above them when they lifted their heads. Half of the vortex was black, and the other half was white. As it rotated, it looked as if it had turned into a huge Rune, but it was not a Rune. It was … Ancient Zang's Heavens!
Booming sounds reverberated in all directions. Tian Xiu Luo threw his head back and let out a shrill howl. He took a step forward and charged at the black and white vortex above him.
"I will be the first to step into Ancient Zang's Heavens and verify my Boundless Dao!" While his words echoed in the air, he had already turned into a long arc and instantly closed in on the black and white vortex.
At that moment, it did not matter whether it was the Sovereign, the old man, or Su Ming, all of them were staring at the black and white vortex as well as Tian Xiu Luo.
"First layer!" When Tian Xiu Luo's voice rang in the air, his body shot through the vortex and rushed above it. Loud booming sounds shook the sky, and Su Ming immediately saw that behind the black and white vortex was … thirty-three layers of the sky, just like the name Thirty-three Skies. Perhaps more accurately speaking, there were thirty-three vortexes.
"Ninth layer!" Tian Xiu Luo charged forward with an unstoppable force. As booming sounds continued echoing in the air, he continued moving through the vortexes, causing them to ring out endlessly.
"Twentieth layer!" His voice seemed to have come from the distance. His figure had already become indistinct in Su Ming's eyes, but he could see that not only did Tian Xiu Luo not slow down, he was instead becoming faster. There was determination in his figure, along with his desire and belief towards Boundless Dao. He wanted to prove his madness.
"Twenty-third layer!" When Tian Xiu Luo's voice rang out again, booming sounds accompanied it. They were the loud sounds caused by him shooting through the vortexes. Every single time they echoed in the air, the entire world would tremble. It could be said that only the three of them had the right to step into Ancient Zang's Heavens!
The others did not even have the right to see it. After all, at that moment, Ancient Zang was in a state of chaos. If Su Ming had not been with the old man, it would have been difficult for him to see Ancient Zang's Heavens.
When the booming sounds echoed in the air, Tian Xiu Luo's voice rang out again and spread through the world.
"Twenty-sixth layer!"
It was already difficult for Su Ming to see Tian Xiu Luo. Everything he could see was indistinct, but he did not give up. At that moment, he sucked in a deep breath and circulated all his cultivation base to gather it in his eyes. When his third eye opened at the center of his brow, he activated all eight overlapping Great Dao Paragons, but even so, he could only see some shadows.
However, as he paid attention to the huge vortex, a strange light slowly shone in Su Ming's eyes. His breathing quickened slightly, and his pupils gradually shrank.
'This vortex … Why does it give me a hint of familiarity? This familiarity … is a … presence …' Su Ming's breathing quickened. He already had a vague answer in his heart, but he was slightly uncertain about it.
"Twenty-ninth layer. Gu Hong, Ancient Emperor, watch carefully. See whether I can … step into the thirtieth layer!" At that moment, Tian Xiu Luo's voice came from the vortex. At the same time, it did not matter whether it was the old man or the Sovereign of Ancient Zang, they immediately focused their gazes in an unprecedented manner.
Su Ming could not see much. He could only see a shadow, but it was enough for him to tell whether Tian Xiu Luo had succeeded.
Booming sounds echoed madly at that moment. They surged into the sky again and again, stirring up the vortex and throwing space into chaos. When the booming sounds reached a certain intensity, the old man sighed softly.
The Sovereign of Ancient Zang slowly averted his gaze, but there was a resolute look in his eyes.
"Impossible! My Dao has already reached the peak, and my cultivation base has already reached its limit. I've already reached the end of my path, so why … can't I step into the thirtieth Sky?!" A shrill roar came from the vortex. It was Tian Xiu Luo's voice. There was an unwillingness to admit defeat in his voice, along with madness. As he spoke, the booming sounds grew louder. They were formed when he tried repeatedly to step into the thirtieth Sky.
The booming sounds lasted for seven days and seven nights. Tian Xiu Luo's madness did not stop for a single moment. His shrill voice would occasionally be accompanied by a forlorn laughter filled with an unwillingness to admit defeat, and it fell into Su Ming's ears.
On the eighth day, the sounds stopped. Tian Xiu Luo's body slowly descended from the huge black and white vortex. When he landed, his appearance had changed drastically. An ancient air filled his body, and his face was pale. When he appeared from the vortex with anguish, he looked at the old man.
"I have never stepped into Boundless Dao Realm. Boundless Dao Realm … What is Boundless Dao Realm?!"
The old man was silent. After some time, he said softly, "There is a limit to life, but there is no limit to knowledge. How many cycles of reincarnation can there be? Boundless Dao Realm …"
When the old man spoke and Tian Xiu Luo descended, the Sovereign of Ancient Zang lifted his head.
"Since Ancient Zang Sky has already been activated, then … I will try it as well." His voice was calm. At the instant he spoke, he lifted his right hand and swung his arm. He flew up, and it was as if all of Ancient Zang's kismet had risen to the sky. It surrounded him and turned into a layer of obscurity as he charged towards the black and white vortex.
'My cold has indeed returned. My tonsils are swollen in the morning, and it's difficult for me to breathe. I was in the hospital in the morning, and I've had a hard time in the afternoon. But I can't update this chapter with just one chapter. No matter what, I will update two chapters today!
The next chapter will be late. Give me time. '
