It had been four years since the establishment of the Vile Men Valley.
The Zi Wei Galaxy was in turmoil.
In the Human King Palace, the 3,700-year-old Old King passed away. His achievements were heaven-defying, and he was nearing the end of his life.
Mahamayuri, a genius of his generation, failed to break through to the third level of the Immortal Foundation and was burned to ashes.
Yi Qingwu was so beautiful that all the other females in the Ancient Star Field paled in comparison. She broke through the eighth limit, ascending to the ninth small step of the second level of immortal foundation. Her skin was like ice and her bones were like jade, pure and holy. She was hailed as a goddess.
On this day, the Grand Pure Realm opened, and the Eight Visions Palace was filled with purple Qi. A figure rushed into the clouds.
Yin Tiande had been in a life-and-death seclusion for many years and finally came out of seclusion.
"Yin Tiande came out of seclusion. He followed the footsteps of the original residents of the Eight Visions Palace and rode a green ox to the west. Purple Qi came from the east and spread for eight thousand miles!"
"Yin Tiande has been in seclusion for ten years and finally succeeded in Dao Severing? Is there going to be another invincible king in the cultivation world? "
Yin Tiande's coming out of seclusion caused a commotion in the entire Zi Wei Galaxy.
But soon, many voices in the Zi Wei cultivation world started to lead the discussion.
"Yin Tiande, the number one cultivator in the cultivation world, the pride of Zi Wei! Kill Zhou Tong! Get rid of the Vile Men Valley! "
"The Vile Men Valley is notorious. We can't afford to offend a Great Sage, but we must get rid of the representative of the Vile Men Valley. Yin Tiande, I support you in getting rid of Zhou Tong. "
"Heh, Yin Tiande is nothing. He can even graze cows on the grassland above him! I remember that not long ago, there was a record that Yi Qingwu personally admitted that Yin Tiande was inferior to Zhou Tong. "
"Haha, that's right. Yin Tiande's fiancée, Yi Qingwu, was once held captive by Zhou Tong of the Vile Men Valley for a period of time. Who knows what happened during that time? Heh! Heh! "
"Zhou Tong and Yin Tiande are both Eighth Limit peerless geniuses. They'll definitely meet on the Emperor's Road in this generation. I wonder who's stronger between the two! "
Countless people in the Zi Wei cultivation world were leading the discussion. They wanted to see the shocking battle between Zhou Tong and Yin Tiande.
In the Central Great Vile Men Valley.
"Hum!!"
Suddenly, the void shook, and Zhou Tong's aura changed drastically.
Previously, he was still in the state of merging with the Great Dao. However, at this moment, he had already broken away from that state. His entire being was no longer as ethereal and dao-merging as before.
"It's almost time for today's Divine Restriction!" Zhou Tong said softly.
The God Prohibition Territory was a territory that could only be touched by Godly Power. Breaking through the Eight Prohibitions would allow one to reach the limit of Nine, or even surpass Nine. It would be unbreakable for all eternity.
Within this domain, Zhou Tong seemed to have ascended into the heavens. His entire body seemed to have undergone an unimaginable baptism. His body and mind were one with the Dao, ethereal and untainted by even a speck of dust.
Since ancient times, only Great Emperors could stay in the Divine Restriction Domain for long periods of time. For cultivators who had yet to prove their Dao, even if they were Ninth Heaven Quasi-emperors, there would be times when they would fall into the Divine Restriction Domain, unable to maintain it for long.
Even a Boundary Emperor was like this, let alone a lower level cultivator.
Even for supreme prodigies, when they were at the second level of the Immortal Foundation Realm, they would most likely only be able to touch the Divine Restriction Domain once or twice a year. No matter how deep their comprehension of the Great Dao was, it was absolutely impossible for them to surpass the Eight Prohibitions and stay in the Divine Restriction Domain forever.
Even if there was a prodigy who was stuck at a certain cultivation level and then continued to increase his comprehension of the Great Dao, allowing his battle prowess to continuously increase, increase, and increase again, thinking that he would be able to break through the Eight Prohibitions. Unfortunately, this was also useless.
Since ancient times, there had been many cultivators who had such thoughts. However, none of them had succeeded.
Because if a prodigy really did this, then when he truly broke through the Eight Prohibitions and reached "Nine", it would be the time for him to break through to the next cultivation level. When one's comprehension of the Great Dao reached a certain level, it was impossible not to want to break through. The Great Dao that a cultivator had comprehended would push him forward.
Even if a Great Emperor acted to seal his cultivation level, then there were only two possibilities. First, this prodigy would gradually collapse under the suppression of the Emperor Dao Laws of the Great Emperor. Second, it would be like Ye Fan after the Supreme Battle in the original work and break through the Great Emperor's restriction.
The restrictions of the Eight Prohibitions originated from the cultivation system of the Heaven-Shrouding Technique. Unless there was some kind of extremely powerful force that surpassed the system, one had to follow the laws of the cultivation system.
The only exception was the Cutting Dao!
The Cutting Dao was the Heaven Cutting Dao. This hurdle was not set by the cultivator himself. It was a restriction of the world, a restriction of the cultivation system itself.
The path of cultivation was like a torrential river that flowed down. The Cutting Dao hurdle was a dam that this world had set up to block the river.
The normal Cutting Dao was to cut off something and then take the opportunity to slip out of the crack in the dam and continue on the path of cultivation.
It was precisely because the Cutting Dao was a restriction of the cultivation system itself, a restriction given by the world. Therefore, only this hurdle, using the contradictions of the cultivation system itself, could allow a true prodigy to break through the restrictions of the Eight Prohibitions in a short period of time.
Only in front of the Cutting Dao would there be a chance to stop one's cultivation and take the opportunity to deepen one's comprehension of the Great Dao. From there, one could slowly break through the restrictions of the Eight Prohibitions and become a permanent Divine Restriction.
"Currently, I spend half of my time in the Divine Restriction every day. As long as I can connect the five great secret realms and successfully cultivate the second strand of Immortal Qi, I will definitely be able to complete this unprecedented step — becoming a permanent Divine Restriction as a second-level Immortal Foundation cultivator!" Countless expectations flashed through Zhou Tong's heart.
Although this so-called "permanent Divine Restriction" was only for second-level Immortal Foundation cultivators, once they broke through to the King Realm, they would have to return to normal. It was impossible to become a permanent Divine Restriction. However, if he could comprehend the state of the "permanent Divine Restriction" in advance, it would be of great benefit to his future path.
"If I'm not wrong, once I become a permanent Divine Restriction, it won't be long before the Cutting Dao calamity descends. Moreover, it will be a calamity that cuts the Great Dao."
This was the path of the Cutting Dao that Zhou Tong had chosen himself.
The Cutting Dao hurdle was a dam that the world and the cultivation system had set up. However, if one's comprehension was deep enough, even if one didn't take the initiative to cut the Dao, the surging river would naturally break the dam.
In layman's terms, it was:
The heavens cut the Dao. The heavens added a dam to my Dao path, forcing me to cut myself in order to cross it.
However, I won't cut myself. In fact, I won't even bother to cut this dam.
Not only that, I will also dig my river deeper, widen it, and store it!
When quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, the surging momentum would be unstoppable. The dam set up by the world and the cultivation system would only be a small stone, powerlessly tumbling and being destroyed in the surging river.
Cutting Dao?
It doesn't exist. I won't even bother to mention the blade!
This was Zhou Tong's path of the Cutting Dao — the Cutting Without Cutting!
"In these few years, regardless of whether it's the Dao Fire or the Karmic Fire, I've already collected enough. It's more than enough."
"Next, I only need to complete the last few things, and then I can find a chance to return to the Big Dipper."
In the current world, there was no problem in cultivating the Chaotic Ancient Technique, but it was impossible to cultivate the Immortal Ancient Technique.
Only by returning to the path of immortality and borrowing the environment that was closest to the Celestial Realm could he cultivate Immortal Qi.
