Time flowed like water for a hundred thousand years.
Though the Lord of Chaos himself had left, he left behind an immensely vast Chaosverse. It was a thousand times larger than the immortal dao civilization at its peak, let alone the immortal dao civilization that was now in tatters.
The region where the Lord of Chaos and the immortal dao civilization overlapped was in fact only a small part of his vast body. Aside from the peak experts in this region, there were countless sovereigns, rulers, and great masters in the Lord of Chaos' universe. Some of the greatest masters were a cut above the likes of the Grand Creation Holy Sovereign and the Black and White Reverends. In terms of combat strength, they were at least on par with the Ten-Vein level.
Under such circumstances, even though the Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Time, the Lord of Gods, and the many creation and chaos beings that had once surrounded the immortal dao civilization had left for a hundred thousand years, the immortal dao civilization that only had Vast Ocean and Plentiful Treasures overseeing it could only survive between the cracks.
Without the Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Gods, and the Lord of Time to restrain them, many peak masters emerged to wage war and slaughter everywhere. The Lord of Chaos' Chaosverse and the immortal dao civilization's Chaosverse were thrown into chaos, with countless battles of all sorts taking place in every corner of the domain.
Until one day …
A voice abruptly rang out in both the Lord of Chaos' Chaosverse and the immortal dao civilization's domain …
"Above the nine layers of clouds, I comprehend the truth of the Dao on a praying mat. Beyond heaven and earth, I am the Hierarch. Pangu gave birth to the Taiji, the yin and yang of the four divisions. The Dao is passed down to the Three Friends, the Chan and Jie sects are divided, and the Daoist Sect leads the way.
As the voice spread out, it seemed to resonate with the world. For a moment, streaks of golden light rose from a certain place in the immortal dao civilization, illuminating ten trillion light-years. Under the influence of this voice, all living beings within range felt as if they were listening to holy music. All of them abruptly stopped fighting and looked in the direction of the voice with respect or shock.
Compared to the living beings of the Chaotic Universe, the Lord of Time, and the Lord of Gods who didn't know what was going on, the many Virtual Immortals, True Immortals, Immortal Lords, Immortal Emperors, and Heavenly Lords in the immortal dao civilization were stunned when they heard the voice. Then, their emotions surged. Some ancient immortals who had survived the Great Calamity couldn't help but cry tears of joy. They bowed in the direction of the voice and the golden light, calling them Dao Ancestor.
The Heavenly Lord of Myriad Treasures, the Heavenly Lord of Vast Seas, the Heavenly Lord of Purple Gold, and the other experts also rushed toward the source of the golden light and the sound at their fastest speed.
At this moment, the immortal dao civilization seemed to have been reborn.
As Dao Ancestor Hongjun regained his sainthood, the structure of the world immediately changed.
No matter how many almighty experts there were in the Chaotic Universe left behind by the Lord of Chaos, how could they possibly contend against a Saint?
Under Dao Ancestor Hongjun's influence, the broken immortal dao civilization directly infiltrated the Lord of Chaos' universe, which only had its instinctive consciousness left. An unprecedented scene of a snake devouring an elephant played out. The Lord of Chaos' universe, which only had its instinctive consciousness left, was defeated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's invasion. Not only did the immensely huge Chaotic Universe fall into the hands of the immortal dao civilization, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun also used the laws cultivated by the twelve divine beasts as an entry point to infiltrate the Lord of Chaos' universe, reversing the laws of the entire Chaotic Universe.
Although only the Lord of Chaos' universe was left behind for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to use, the Lord of Gods, the Lord of Time, and the other creation and chaos beings had all entered the River of Time. The River of Time was the foundation of the immortal dao civilization, and the power it emitted transformed into laws, causing the immortal dao civilization's laws to recover at an extremely fast pace and become even stronger than before.
Taking advantage of this advantage, Dao Ancestor Hongjun first used the laws of the twelve divine beasts to penetrate the Lord of Chaos' universe. Then, he transformed the laws of the twelve divine beasts into pure cultivation laws of the immortal dao civilization, causing the entire Chaotic Universe to shake violently.
The revival of the immortal dao and the acquisition of all the wealth left behind by the Lord of Chaos caused the entire immortal dao civilization to experience explosive development.
Countless cultivators of the immortal dao civilization who had been stuck at the False Immortal, True Immortal, High Immortal, Immortal Emperor, and even the Heavenly Monarch realm all broke through. False Immortals broke through to True Immortals, True Immortals broke through to Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Monarchs broke through to Immortal Emperors, and Immortal Emperors broke through to Heavenly Monarchs. The original Heavenly Monarchs grew even stronger and entered the ranks of the strongest. Killing ordinary great masters of combat arts was as easy as pie.
Compared to the revival of the immortal dao civilization, the peak experts born in the Lord of Chaos' universe all suffered a drastic drop in cultivation due to the changes in laws. Even the strongest of the great masters of combat arts suffered a drastic drop in combat strength, becoming the weakest and most ordinary great masters of combat arts. Some of the weaker great masters of combat arts even fell from the throne of great masters of combat arts and became Sovereigns.
No!
They were no longer Sovereigns, but Immortal Emperors!
The immortal dao civilization's infiltration of the laws of the Lord of Chaos' universe had fundamentally changed the very nature of the Lord of Chaos' universe, causing the cultivation system of the Lord of Chaos to change.
This was equivalent to one civilization's system invading and assimilating another civilization's system.
In the end, only the strong survived.
As time passed, the cultivation system of the immortal dao civilization that rose once more would completely replace the cultivation system left behind by the Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Time, and the Lord of Gods. Those three great existences would then be squeezed into a corner just like before, with only the two Heavenly Lords, Vast Sea and Plentiful Treasures, barely surviving …
In fact, the Lord of Time, Lord of Gods, and Lord of Chaos had considered that the immortal dao civilization contained the mysteries of eternity, so they hadn't truly wiped out the immortal dao civilization's legacy. They didn't want the mysteries of eternity to disappear with the destruction of the immortal dao civilization.
However, the immortal dao civilization didn't care about the civilizations left behind by the three great masters. As the immortal dao civilization's advantage grew, the cultivation system left behind by the Lord of Gods, Lord of Time, and Lord of Chaos would eventually be submerged in the river of time. It was possible that even a great master of combat arts, or even an Immortal Emperor, would cease to exist.
… …
The immortal dao flourished.
With the emergence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the immortal dao civilization naturally welcomed unprecedented opportunities for development.
In order to obtain greater power, countless cultivators who'd originally belonged to the Lord of Chaos abandoned their cultivation system that was destined to have little future prospects and joined the sects created by the immortal dao civilization's top powerhouses.
Lord of Violetgold, Lord of Void, Lord of Dominating Dragon, Lord of Flashover, Lord of Cloudorchid …
The sects established by the various heavenly lords welcomed unprecedented opportunities for development.
This was especially true for Lord of Vast Sea and Lord of Many Treasures, whose sects were hailed as the number one and number two sects in the world.
In order to spread the immortal dao civilization as quickly as possible and allow Dao Ancestor Hongjun to devour the Chaosverse left behind by the Lord of Chaos more quickly and transform it into the foundation of the immortal dao civilization, many immortal sects opened their doors wide and continuously recruited cultivators and living beings from the Lord of Chaos' universe.
True immortals, immortal lords, and immortal emperors opened their sects at every moment, attracting countless people to join them.
Every few thousand years, more and more powerful organizations would rise to prominence, taking the place of the Chaosverse's native forces and expanding the influence of the Immortal Dao Civilization.
The immortal dao civilization's development was in full swing, ushering in an unprecedented golden age.
With the opening of many sects, the Eastern Sun Sword Sect, which had a heavenly lord overseeing it, naturally attracted countless people.
The heavenly lords of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect were still inexperienced compared to those who'd broken through to become heavenly lords of old. The sect's foundation was also far from comparable to those who'd broken through to become heavenly lords. However, a heavenly lord was still a heavenly lord. Countless geniuses were attracted every time the sect opened its doors and left behind many fascinating legends in the sect competition.
Today, however …
It was time for the Eastern Sun Sword Sect to open its doors again.
At this moment, a young man was walking along the mountain path of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect with a sword in hand, accompanied by a servant. He traveled against the wind and arrived at the sect's square.
This young man was born in the Lu Family, a great immortal cultivation clan. His ancestor had once been a Great Medium. However, due to the decline of the cultivation system of the Master of Chaos, that Great Medium had no choice but to change his path and cultivate the Immortal Dao. Relying on the foundation that he had accumulated in the past, he now had the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor and could be considered a tyrant.
However, despite his immortal emperor cultivation, the cultivation world had a very important disadvantage compared to the cultivation system of other worlds — sectarian bias.
When the immortal dao civilization had promoted the immortal dao cultivation system, all kinds of cultivation methods had been spread everywhere. However, now that the immortal dao civilization had become the mainstream of the world, the top cultivation methods were gradually withdrawn by the heavenly lords and kept as secrets. In addition, the immortal lords, immortal emperors, and heavenly lords not only had cultivation, but also divine abilities and dharma treasures. These secret methods were all in the hands of the top immortal dao factions.
Without powerful divine abilities and top-notch dharma treasures, even an immortal emperor might be killed by a true immortal lord with a connate spiritual treasure.
Under such circumstances, although the Lu Family had an immortal emperor, there were also many immortal lords. In order to obtain top-notch divine abilities and connate spiritual treasures, they still allowed their disciples to join the major cultivation sects.
The young man in front of him was the most outstanding genius of the Lu Family's younger generation.
He was extremely talented and had cultivated for less than a hundred years, but he had already become an immortal lord. He was extremely ambitious and had given himself the name "Suppress", which meant that he could suppress all the geniuses in the world.
With such talent, he naturally didn't have to worry about not being able to join any of the heavenly lords. Instead, he had to choose which sect to join.
This time, he had been away for a hundred years and visited four of the top sects with heavenly lords. He had secretly observed them, but none of them were worthy of his attention. The Eastern Sun Sword Sect before him was the fifth.
…
"Young Master, I've already learned about the Eastern Sun Sword Sect in detail. Although they have a heavenly lord, she just became a heavenly lord ten thousand years ago. It's said that she was only an immortal lord a hundred thousand years ago. Compared to the four great sects and four great heavenly lords we went to before, they're inferior … I don't think we should waste too much time in this sect."
The old man who looked like a servant beside the young man said in a low voice.
Although he was dressed as a servant, he was a true immortal lord. His cultivation was not inferior to many of the outer sect elders of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect.
"Since we're here, we should take a look. The heavenly lord of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect was able to break through two levels in a hundred thousand years. Maybe there's something special about her."
The young man said seriously.
"Well … well then. Although the Lord of Heaven of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect can't compare to those veteran experts, the sect has a tradition. Every time the sect opens its doors, the sect master who has cultivated to the Lord of Heaven will personally appear and pass down a set of swordsmanship to the world. Although this set of swordsmanship may not be very brilliant, it's probably not too bad since it's taught by a Lord of Heaven. This is also the reason why so many people come to the Eastern Sun Sword Sect every time the sect opens its doors. It's one thing to be a disciple, but the main thing is to learn a move or two from the Lord of Heaven."
"A heavenly lord performing a sword technique?"
The young man couldn't help but be curious.
A heavenly lord was a figure who stood at the peak of the cultivation world. Now, he was willing to show up in front of the world and teach them a sword technique?
This was very rare.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
As the sound spread throughout the world, the disciple selection of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect finally began.
However, the young man didn't sign up. Instead, he watched from below the stage.
With his current level of cultivation, it would be bullying if he fought with those disciples who were at most at the Void Immortal Realm in the arenas that had been cultivated for less than three hundred years. Even if he fought with someone who had cultivated for more than a thousand years, no one would be able to defeat him.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get a profound cultivation art, he wouldn't even want to join the sect. With his talent, he would definitely be able to enter the Heavenly Lord Realm in a thousand years or even ten thousand years. Why would he want to be a disciple of someone else?
The disciples of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect were fighting in an orderly manner.
After ten days, three hundred disciples finally stood out and were qualified to enter the Eastern Sun Sword Sect.
As the disciple selection came to an end, many cultivators who knew the rules of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect immediately became excited.
The Heavenly Lord performing a sword technique would take place after the disciple selection.
"He's coming, he's coming!"
Along with a burst of excited shouts, the crowd immediately became excited.
In the forbidden area of the back mountain of the Eastern Sun Sword Sect, a bright light suddenly shone and a beautiful figure walked out of the light.
"Heavenly Lord Jiang is here."
"Greetings, Heavenly Lord Jiang."
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord Jiang, for performing a sword technique for us!"
All kinds of shouts came from the crowd, and many people even bowed respectfully to the beautiful figure in the void.
However, the figure didn't answer. She just rode the wind and started to perform a sword technique.
A technique …
It looked like a mortal technique, but it contained the essence of the Sword Dao and was full of unparalleled mysteries.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Among these people …
Including the young man from the Lu Family …
He looked at Heavenly Lord Jiang performing a sword technique in front of him, and his mind went blank.
At this moment, there was a gentle breeze, and there was a blue sky and white clouds.
Countless magnificent buildings rose from the ground in the Eastern Sun Sword Sect, and there were also green trees everywhere …
But in front of him …
At this moment …
Only the figure performing a sword technique in the void was left …
Her unadorned face, her exquisite dancing figure, and her elegant and ethereal temperament …
This scene was suddenly imprinted in his mind …
It seemed like a long time …
But it also seemed like only a moment.
At this moment, time was like an ink brush that drew an ink painting, rolled up by someone, and cast into eternity.
