In the void within the Chaos Bell.
There seemed to be nothing there. However, only mighty figures could discover that the tunnel was extremely chaotic. It was no different from the Chaos Sea.
The Chaos Bell was not a simple Time Wheel Treasure. It did not only have the power to travel through time. It was called the Chaos Sea mainly because it could fuse with the Chaos Sea in the outside world.
The void was already the core area of the Chaos Bell. Usually, even Daoist Heavenly Flame did not come here often.
That was because there was nothing else apart from being similar to the Chaos Sea. Compared to the other powers of the Chaos Bell, it was indeed useless.
In the void, a figure slowly walked over and sat cross-legged. It was naturally Yang Jian, who had come to seclusion.
He sat down quietly and began to sort out what he had comprehended and obtained during his 300-year slumber. He understood that his mystic technique was about to break through.
Why?
It was naturally because he had burned his essence soul and abandoned everything to unleash his strongest attack when he fought with the eighth strongest expert.
In that attack, he had severely injured the eighth strongest expert and almost killed him. However, he was stopped by Meng Luo.
At that moment, the mysterious technique that had not been able to achieve the Dao finally responded.
The last limit of the mysterious technique required him to break through himself and his Dao. Even if it was only for an instant, it was enough for him to become a Saint.
If Meng Luo had not stopped him that day, Yang Jian would have broken through after killing Ksitigarbha. The damage to his essence soul would have been healed and it would not have been empty words to charge into the supreme realm in one go.
Unfortunately, Meng Luo chose another path and forcefully suppressed Yang Jian for 300 years.
Perhaps the Primordial World would have a different outcome if Yang Jian had fought with all his might that day …
"Uncle-Master …"
Yang Jian's eyes were filled with contemplation.
Just like how he did not suspect that Xuan Du would betray the Primordial World when he first knew that one of the countless incarnations in Xuan Du's dreams was a supreme expert.
At that moment, he was suspicious as to whether Xuan Du had really done everything for the Primordial World.
Back then, if he had joined forces with Xuan Du's dream body, Meng Luo, he might have been able to defeat the other party.
In fact, if they killed the elder sister before she recovered her strength, they could continue to wait for the other supreme experts to arrive …
That would be much more proactive than now.
"Forget it." Yang Jian stretched his arms and looked at the lines on his palms. He cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts and began to think about the problem he had been thinking about.
Was the Omnipotent Realm really the only path above the Sage Realm?
Jumping out of the Great Daos and mastering different Great Daos, was this what it meant to be truly powerful?
Said.
When he first heard about Dao Existence, he heard it from his master when he was young.
Cultivation, Immortal Ascension, Sage Ascension. Along the way, his understanding of Dao had deepened and become more and more complicated. But now, looking back, what was Dao?
"The Dao is me."
Yang Jian murmured. The comprehension in his heart was like mushrooms after the rain, emerging bit by bit.
Dao could be understood as a law. It was the principle by which all living things operated, and it was also the law that all existences in the world followed.
Cultivation was actually about controlling more power through one's own body.
Cultivating one's physical body was just using these principles to make one's body stronger and stronger so as to influence the surrounding environment.
At Yang Jian's level, it was not difficult to destroy a Dao law. However, it was actually very difficult to completely erase a Dao law and make it disappear completely.
For example, if he wanted to kill Supremacy Earth and destroy Supremacy Earth's Great Dao of Earth, would the Five Elements laws lack a Great Dao of Earth?
Of course not. The Five Elements would not be affected at all. What was destroyed was only Supremacy Earth's Great Dao. It would not affect the existence of the Dao itself.
Yang Jian was enlightened …
On second thought, when Saints fought, they would easily destroy the Sea of Dao laws, and the aftershocks would shatter the Dao laws everywhere in the Chaos Sea.
However, after the battle, the densely packed Dao laws would slowly recover, and the universe would quickly recover.
Since that was the case, could it be understood that the Sea of Dao laws was only the manifestation of the Dao and not the Dao itself?
In that case, would the Great Dao that a cultivator cultivated really stand at the peak of this Great Dao after becoming a Saint?
Most likely, one could only stand at the peak of this Great Dao after attaining the perfected Saint realm.
Becoming a Saint was equivalent to becoming the 'guardian' of this Dao law. If one wanted to understand the realm after the Saint realm, one had to use this Great Dao as a foundation and search for the more intrinsic and mysterious realm after the Dao law.
What was it?
It was not that Yang Jian could not put it into words, but he always felt that that realm was the true end.
All things operated according to the Dao law. All things and the Dao law formed the entire tangible world. Living beings were living beings within it. Whether living beings existed or not did not mean anything to the Dao itself.
In that case, what kind of power had set these Dao laws?
The evolution of countless years?
A ripple that had appeared by chance in the true void?
Or was there such a supreme existence who had written thousands of Dao laws and weaved the entire tangible world?
Yang Jian believed in the last possibility more. At that moment, he suddenly came to a realization.
The answer that he had been searching for for a long time was in a rumor within the Mirage Dragon race — the Chaos Sea was the aura that the Ancestor Mirage Dragon breathed.
Perhaps the Ancestor Mirage Dragon did not exist. This legend could be understood as the exploration and thinking of the essence of the Dao by the Mirage Dragon race in the Primordial Era.
A faint smile appeared on Yang Jian's face. He lowered his head and gently drew a line in the void in front of him.
He did not use any techniques, but he left a simple mark in the void.
A point, a line, a circle.
This point could form countless shapes. The three lines could represent the universe, and the circle seemed to contain the most perfect Great Dao.
It was simple but pure.
He raised his hand and drew a line, and the marks quietly disappeared. A faint aura emanated from Yang Jian's body. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to try and enter the realm above the Saint realm on his own initiative instead of using two Great Dao to push himself up.
Although there seemed to be no difference between the two, it determined his future development.
If he could comprehend this level, there would be no obstacles for Yang Jian to increase the number of Great Dao he had mastered in the future. He only needed to cultivate that Great Dao to the point of becoming a Saint.
Because at that time, the Dao would be under his feet, and he would stand on the peak of the mountain, jumping out of the surface.
That was the realm of "Big Sister".
That was the thought that a supreme expert who had truly broken through should have.
…
In a small Daoist temple in Daira Heaven.
It seemed to be in line with the principle of the Great Dao being simple. Laozi's residence was either a thatched cottage or a small Daoist temple. The Tushita Palace was considered the most magnificent building in Ren School.
For a long time, there was only Laozi, Master Xuan Du, and the green ox in this Daoist temple. Later on, Xuan Du went to guard Xuandu City, and the green ox went to the Tushita Palace. This place became even more lonely.
Later on, as the Saints entered, this place became the residence of the Heavenly Dao. They could experience the mysterious Dao Realm everywhere.
A few streams of light came from the Celestial Court and flew past the 33 Heavens, entering the highest Daira Heaven.
When the streams of light stopped, more than ten people appeared.
Apart from the first batch of juniors of the Primordial World who had walked out of the sword testing ground, there were also a few ancient mighty figures, including the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan.
Anyone who had the potential to become a Saint and had the opportunity to become a Saint was summoned there.
A few Saints sat in front of the temple. Daoist Heavenly Flame, Yuding Zhenren, Saint Jie Yin, Goddess Houtu, the three friends of the Grand Pure One, the Jade Pure One, and the newly advanced Saint of Merit, Lei Zhenzi, who was sitting behind them.
Nezha was the first to step forward. "Greetings, Saint."
Lei Zhenzi closed his eyes and did not look at him, but Nezha still felt a little strange.
Seven to eight disciples of the Daoist and Buddhist sects walked forward together and lowered their heads. "Greetings, Saint."
At the side, Zi Xia poked the unhappy Sun Wukong with her scabbard. The latter cupped his hands reluctantly and said perfunctorily, "Greetings, Saint."
Only then did Zixia bow to him with a smile.
Daoist Heavenly Flame smiled and said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony. Perhaps from today onwards, we will address each other as fellow Daoists."
"I've gathered everyone here today because there's an additional section of the Sword Testing Ground." The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed softly. He was naturally frustrated that he was trapped in his realm. "If you have any thoughts of advancing further, you can enter. There will be Sage-level opponents inside to train with you. Perhaps they can help you break through. "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "Although sparring with people of similar realms can help you perfect your Dao, you have to remember that your current realm is extraordinary. Don't take risks and try to force yourself to the brink of life and death to seek enlightenment."
"That's right." Daoist Heavenly Flame shrugged. "Now, if you were to suffer from serious injuries, we won't be able to afford the pills for healing."
The group of cultivators chuckled.
However, it was true. If ordinary Quasi-Saints were seriously injured, a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill would be enough. However, if Nezha and Sun Wukong were seriously injured, a pot of Nine Revolutions Golden Pill would barely be enough.
Every time Yang Jian was seriously injured, he rarely thought of taking pills. That was because the effects of pills were inadequate. He mainly relied on mystic techniques to recover.
"That senior has broken through to the Saint realm?" Zi Xia asked softly.
"That's right," Yuding Zhenren replied with a smile so that his grand-disciple would not be embarrassed. "That senior has a great background. He was born at the beginning of time and had the strength to break through to the Saint realm a long time ago. However, because the supreme experts are too ferocious, he has been holding back and cultivating in seclusion."
Daoist Heavenly Flame smiled and sighed. "That's a true expert. After entering the Saint realm, his Great Dao was perfected in less than an hour. The accumulation of countless years is really too terrifying. "
The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his hand. "Alright, there's no point in saying anything else. You will naturally experience it after you go in."
The Chaos Bell appeared in front of Daoist Heavenly Flame. A vortex of light and shadow rotated gently.
Nezha and the others did not hesitate and entered directly. However, Zhenyuanzi and the other old "seniors" looked at each other awkwardly.
"I didn't expect that I would have to fight for my Dao with these juniors at my age."
Zhenyuanzi smiled and said, "Everyone, let's go together. If we can't see the scenery at the top of the mountain in our lives, it will be the greatest regret."
"Okay."
The few of them bowed to the Saints and entered the Chaos Bell one after another.
They were thanking the living for the opportunity bestowed by the living. After all, becoming a Saint was almost impossible in the Primordial World.
