The vortex formed by the Heavenly Cycle Universe was like a huge mouth that swallowed the ancient Buddha. However, the ancient Buddha did not disappear. Instead, it was hidden in the vortex and no longer emitted any light.
The Daoist was wrapped in darkness, but the area thirty feet around him was not swallowed by the darkness. He looked at the huge vortex without showing any surprise, as though he had already known this would happen.
However, when the Daoist saw the ancient Buddha that was hidden in the darkness and was almost one with the darkness, he suddenly understood something.
"I see."
Before Ye Tianze could take the initiative to devour him, the Daoist suddenly released the restricted area thirty feet around him. The darkness entered the Daoist's body.
Ye Tianze was hesitant at first, but he soon made up his mind to completely devour the Daoist.
However, he realized that devouring the Daoist did not bring him any benefits. The power of death eroded the Daoist's body. Ye Tianze felt the Dao.
However, the Daoist did not seem to exist. He did not gain anything after devouring him.
Soon, the Heavenly Cycle Universe returned to normal. The Daoist and the ancient Buddha disappeared. If not for the fact that he could recall the voice just now, Ye Tianze would have suspected that the Daoist had appeared.
However, the Qingyun Painting and the wordless Dao Book had disappeared. Ye Tianze searched the entire universe in his body but did not find the existence of these two items.
"What's going on?" Ye Tianze was puzzled.
"That's the Dao Ancestor!"
Little Zhong's voice sounded. "I didn't expect him to manifest his divinity."
"The Dao Ancestor is still alive?" Ye Tianze was worried.
"The Dao Ancestor has passed away, but he did not pass away," Little Zhong said. "As long as the Dao exists in the Chaos, he will not pass away."
"Then what happened just now?"
Ye Tianze asked curiously.
"Just now?"
Little Zhong's tone was solemn. "I don't know what happened either. However, the Dao Ancestor would not manifest his divinity for no reason. Therefore, he must have a motive. Just like the Reincarnation Buddha Lord, he would not help you for no reason. It's all karma."
Ye Tianze was very open-minded at this moment. He said, "Who cares about karma? If I can be used, it proves that I am still valuable in front of these big shots."
"Aren't you afraid of being tricked by them?" Little Zhong asked.
"I've been schemed against for two lifetimes. The last person who schemed against me was the Lord of the Nirvana Realm. I'm not afraid of another Dao Ancestor or Reincarnation Buddha Lord."
Ye Tianze said.
Little Zhong suddenly said, "Perhaps … they want to borrow your strength to break through the Laws of Primal Chaos!"
"Break through the Laws of Primal Chaos?"
Ye Tianze exclaimed in shock, "Aren't the Laws of Primal Chaos the foundation that maintains the Primal Chaos? If it is broken, won't all the worlds in the universe be destroyed? "
"Do you think this Primal Chaos World is big?"
Little Zhong asked.
"Of course it's big," said Ye Tianze. "But what does that have to do with the size of the Chaos?"
"In your eyes, the Primal Chaos World is very big. In the eyes of cultivators like you, the Primal Chaos World is very big. Many cultivators can't even finish traversing this chaotic land in their lifetime, let alone the realms outside."
Little Zhong said seriously, "But … in the eyes of Dao Ancestors, Dao Lords, and Buddhist Lords, the Primal Chaos World is very small. It's so small that it's like a cage. They are trapped in the Primal Chaos World. All living beings want to board the Boat of the Nirvana Realm, but even Dao Lords and Buddhist Lords aren't qualified to enter!"
"Why?"
Ye Tianze asked curiously.
"Because the Lord of the Nirvana Realm doesn't allow it!"
Little Zhong said, "If the Lord of the Nirvana Realm doesn't allow it, they can't enter the Boat of the Nirvana Realm. Only the Boat of the Nirvana Realm can traverse the vast Primal Chaos. Being born under the Laws is a kind of happiness, but being born under the Laws is also a kind of pain. At least for them, it's painful."
"Then have you ever suffered?" asked Ye Tianze.
"Me?"
Little Zhong smiled and said, "I've never suffered because I've never treated the Laws of Primal Chaos as a cage."
"Don't you want to board the Boat of the Nirvana Realm?" asked Ye Tianze again.
"I want to, but some things can't be forced. Besides, before the creation of the Laws of Primal Chaos World, I might have been born on the Boat of the Nirvana Realm."
Little Zhong said, "All living beings suffer. They suffer to pursue the unreachable Boat of the Nirvana Realm. All living beings suffer. They suffer to climb the Myriad Realms and enter the Myriad Realms. They suffer to climb the Heavens and enter the Heavens. They pursue it again after entering the Heavens. They're probably fools to spend their entire lives pursuing these illusory things."
"In that case, I'm a fool too," said Ye Tianze, "But I'm a fool. I just want to live and not be erased!"
"If I didn't feel the aura of death on you and see those resurrected dead, I would have suspected that you're the Death Incarnation. After all, we've faced death before. How can we have emotions like you?"
Said Little Zhong. "It's really strange."
Ye Tianze didn't answer him. He had also experienced despair and had sunk into death. But no matter how heartless and dejected he was, there were still things in this world that he needed to protect.
Ye Tianze wanted to protect the living beings in the Portrait of All Beings. That was also the meaning of his existence. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as faith.
"I'm even more curious. Since the Laws of Primal Chaos were created by the first Nirvana Realm Master and all living beings, why did they break it?"
Asked Ye Tianze.
Little Zhong seemed to have thought about this question long ago. He said, "I don't know either. Some memories are missing. All living beings are forgetful."
Ye Tianze was confused by his words. At this moment, the green ox had been completely corroded by the power of death. When his life was being devoured, Ye Tianze followed the opening and peeled off the green ox's skin.
This was an extremely exquisite skin. It was so exquisite that when Ye Tianze looked carefully, he found that the ancient formation patterns on the skin contained the aura of Dao.
"An ordinary cultivator would be overjoyed to have such a mount. You actually killed it. If those big shots in the heavens knew about this, their jaws would probably drop to the ground."
Said Little Zhong.
"Maybe I'm unusual."
Ye Tianze began to dismember the ox. After peeling off the skin, the remaining body was easy.
"This skin can be fused with your umbrella," reminded Little Zhong. "After fusing with it, you can enter the Connate realm."
Ye Tianze accepted Little Zhong's suggestion. If this skin was made into a battle armor, it would naturally be the best. Even Sacred Grade Connate Spirit Treasures couldn't damage it. If it was made into a battle armor, it would be invulnerable.
But who could he find to make such a piece of skin into a battle armor?
Fusing it with the Chaos Umbrella was naturally the best choice. Firstly, the umbrella's body wasn't complete. Secondly, the umbrella itself could be upgraded.
Ye Tianze was having a great time dismembering the ox. Suddenly, there was a sound of a horse neighing in the distance. Then, a skinny black pegasus flew over.
