Zhou Tong told Ji Ning everything he needed to say and showed him everything he needed to show him. Ji Ning quickly entered secluded meditation.
Afterwards, Zhou Tong spent a few more years lecturing on the Dao to the members of Vastheaven Palace. This time, the content of his lectures was even more profound and profound than the previous ones. It could be said that most of the content was completely incomprehensible to them.
However, even if they didn't understand, they were still able to memorize it and slowly analyze it when they had the time.
After doing all this, Zhou Tong returned to the prime essences of the Chaosverse and continued his secluded meditation in pursuit of the Dao of Omega Autarch.
This time, after spending two chaos cycles in seclusion, Zhou Tong had fused the Dao of Yang into his Dao of Fire and formed the Dao of Pure Yang. Three chaos cycles later, he had formed the Dao of Pure Yin. Five chaos cycles later, he had formed the Dao of Radiant Light. Seven chaos cycles later, he had formed the Dao of Darkness …
Every one or two chaos cycles, Zhou Tong would be able to fuse one of the myriad Daos into his Dao of Fire.
He had fused the Dao of Formations into the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Talismans into the Dao of Talismans, and the Dao of Karma into the Dao of Flames … there were so many Daos that his Dao of Eternal Omega Fire could contain them all.
Although he still hadn't reached the level of 'one Dao begets all Daos', his Dao of Eternal Omega Fire continued to expand, expand, and expand.
Originally, the only difference between him and a true Autarch was the breadth of his Dao. Now, however, that difference was slowly being resolved as he fused countless Daos into his Dao of Fire.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred chaos cycles had passed since Zhou Tong had entered secluded meditation.
Of course, Autarch Skyfeeder had been maintaining Zhou Tong's thousandfold temporal acceleration. In truth, Zhou Tong had already been cultivating for a hundred thousand chaos cycles.
On this very day, Zhou Tong finally emerged from the Azureflower Estate.
"You've emerged?" Autarch Skyfeeder halted the temporal acceleration and walked towards Zhou Tong.
"Thank you for maintaining the temporal acceleration for me, Autarch Skyfeeder," Zhou Tong said gratefully.
"It's just a small matter. I'll only be able to accelerate time by a thousand times for a hundred chaos cycles. To me, it's nothing. The more powerful you are, the more powerful we cultivators will be. "Autarch Skyfeeder smiled.
"A hundred chaos cycles, but to me, that's a hundred thousand chaos cycles." Zhou Tong sighed.
This was a long period of time that he had never experienced. Whether it was the Shrouding the Heavens World, the Sun Spirit World, or the World of Immortals, he had never experienced such a long period of time. Even the Coiling Dragon World was only close to this period of time.
"I almost forgot. You are still so young. The amount of time it took you to succeed in your Daomerge from birth was even shorter than the lifespan of some World-level cultivators. A hundred thousand chaos cycles is an extremely long period of time for you." Autarch Skyfeeder smiled. "Still … it's been a long time. How has your cultivation progressed?"
"I've reached my limit." Zhou Tong shook his head. "My Ultimate Fire Dao has already reached a limit. Even if I integrate more Daos, it won't be of much use. I can sense that right now, I'm just a tiny bit away from becoming an Omega Autarch. "
"However, I've been in secluded meditation for many years. I've been painstakingly searching, but I still haven't been able to grasp that tiny bit of inspiration." Zhou Tong sighed. "I'm planning to leave seclusion for a period of time. I'm going to wander the universe and see things that I've never seen before. Perhaps I'll be able to grasp that tiny bit of inspiration."
"It's incredibly difficult to go from an Eternal Emperor to an Autarch. It'll be good for you to go out and see things. The more you experience, the better your chances of making a breakthrough will be," Autarch Skyfeeder said. "Based on what I know, even in the Sith Chaosverse, there are many Omega Emperors who remain stuck at the Eternal Emperor level, unable to break through."
"You train at an incredibly fast rate, and your comprehension of the Dao far surpasses ours. Your chances of becoming an Omega Autarch should be higher than those of other Omega Emperors. However, you'll have to rely on yourself to gain insights from the various things in the universe. The prime essences of the Chaosverse are indeed a holy land for cultivation, but there are some things that can be said about the Dao that might be of use to you, "Autarch Skyfeeder warned.
Zhou Tong nodded, then once more left the prime essences of the Chaosverse and entered the vast, endless Chaosverse.
As he walked, he saw all sorts of strange and wondrous sights in the universe. Many of them were stunning, formed from the workings of the Chaosverse itself. Zhou Tong's horizons were especially broadened when he saw all sorts of wondrous terrains and landscapes hidden within the Quintessence Eight Regions.
As he walked, Zhou Tong didn't interact with any of the other cultivators. All he did was stare at the mysteries of the Chaosverse, or take the form of a mortal and wander the mortal world.
Finally, after a chaos cycle, Zhou Tong arrived at the borders of the Chaosverse.
"This is the border of the Chaosverse. This is the border of the Chaosverse!" Zhou Tong stared ahead.
It was still pitch black in front of him. If he simply flew, he would never be able to touch the so-called 'border'. This was the place where all of the dimensions of the Chaosverse intersected. It was a border that was invisible to the naked eye. Only Omega Emperors or Autarchs like Zhou Tong could be certain of it.
These intersecting points would eventually converge to form the endless border of the Chaosverse.
"An untouchable border. For cultivators below the Autarch level, the Chaosverse is still endless. They can't see the border." Zhou Tong gained a hint of understanding.
Cultivators who had yet to reach the level of Supremacy would never be able to reach the 'border'.
To make a simple analogy, if the boundary of the Chaotic Universe was a line, then every step taken by an existence below the Autarch level would shrink in size by half. As a result, they would never be able to touch the boundary that was so close to them for the rest of their lives.
It was like a converging sequence of numbers, a converging function!
"If anyone below the Autarch level were to see this sort of converging universe, they'd probably feel despair!" Zhou Tong subconsciously simulated how ordinary Eternal Emperors would feel upon seeing such a scene.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a border!
Whether it was the Shrouded Heaven World, the World of Longevity, or the Coiling Dragon World, the borders of those worlds were all similar to the borders of the Desolate Era's Chaosverse. There was no way they would have converging sequences of numbers or functions.
"Everything is converging. It's like a black hole with no end in sight. It's like the entire universe is being swallowed up by an invisible black hole. Whether it's spacetime, yin and yang, the Five Elements, or the Grand Dao, they're all being swallowed up. " Looking at the 'border' from the perspective of an ordinary Eternal Emperor, Zhou Tong couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion in his heart.
"One is all things, all things return to one!"
