Chapter 2379 The Dao Arises 1: From One, Myriad Daos Emerge
Thousands of years later.
Nan Hua finally noticed something was wrong.
He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform of Tianshan Mountain, gazing intently at the heavens beyond: "...Chongque."
"...Dao Ancestor".
"Fellow Daoist Jiyan!"
……
This sound was chaotic, falling from the heavens and spreading to unknowable places.
The world was quiet.
There was no response for a long time.
Nan Hua's gaze sharpened, and his Luo Tian Immortal Eyes appeared. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly: "...Those are traces of past Great Dao phenomena. This is bad. How could they leave without informing me? Why are they even guarding against me?"
He slowly rose to his feet, his fingers constantly calculating.
"The laws of the past, the foundation stones of heaven, sigh..."
Nan Hua sighed. These two methods alone made him feel somewhat powerless. If it weren't for the Dao Ancestor's attempt to lure Fang Chen'ai into the trap, Fang Chen'ai would never have been able to reflect his image onto the Eternal Immortal Realm.
He knows it too.
The ancient immortal general must have gone to search for that ethereal and boundless chaotic sea.
Since he wasn't taken along, he naturally still needed to continue dealing with that dust in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, protecting the Myriad Realms Immortal Gate, and preventing it from disrupting the grand plan of establishing heaven.
“It’s alright.” Nan Hua fell into deep thought. “As long as it exists, no matter how many years have passed, the Dao Ancestor will surely lead the Eternal Immortal Realm to find this place. It will not be too late for me to go then. The most urgent task is to deal with the internal strife of this dust.”
He still had to wait until the Eternal Heaven was established, until the Dao Ancestor found the Chaos Sea, and until they entered the 'Shadow Immortal Realm' together.
Nan Hua really enjoys waiting.
However, the real reason is that Dao Ancestor came first, and he was willing to follow behind to explore the unknown realm. If it weren't for him, he would have already established himself as the supreme being in the Immortal Realm, and Fang Chen'ai would have been too lazy to waste time with him.
And Chen Xun and the others were right.
Nan Hua will find his place; there's no need to worry about him, or even teach him anything.
……
The Celestial Realm calendar is 53 million years old.
A massive struggle for the Dao has erupted across the three thousand immortal realms.
That was a great struggle between Nan Hua's 'Luo Tian Immortal Path' and Fang Chen'ai's 'Longevity Path'. The three thousand immortal realms seemed to have turned into a battlefield. To this day, the two paths are revered, and the struggle continues. Cultivators from all races have also participated in it, intentionally or unintentionally.
Especially those Nine Tribulation Dao Venerables and Saints.
They knew they had become pawns in the struggle between the two realms, but they had no choice but to participate in this struggle. Because they had value, they could get one step closer to the True Immortals. They did not know the reason why the two True Immortals were fighting each other.
The sun shines brightly.
Fang Chen'ai's eyes shone with the light of countless years. He looked down at the vast earth and said calmly, "The light illuminates all things and all paths. The three thousand great paths lead to the same destination. One path can give rise to ten thousand paths, and ten thousand paths can return to one."
He muttered to himself, and a 'Creation Lotus' materialized beneath his feet, while a 'Miniature World' hovered above his head.
This is one of the true immortal supernatural powers he has comprehended over the years: Observing the Dao.
Light can gaze upon the long river of time, touch the great path of time, and also penetrate the heavens and the earth, reaching the celestial realm.
Fang Chen'ai has discovered that the biggest difference between a True Immortal and a Tribulation Immortal or a Great Dao Immortal is that they do not have the Great Dao barrier. They will not lose their understanding and perception of other immortal paths because of cultivating their own Great Dao, nor will they go astray and become possessed by demons. Furthermore, their immortal bodies will not collapse due to the inability to withstand the cultivation of multiple paths.
The True Immortal Realm... is like the heavens and earth have shed all their shackles on you, and have lost all restrictions on you. They are not afraid that you are ridiculously powerful, but they are afraid that your potential is not high enough!
Unexpectedly, it took him millions of years to comprehend this truth. Now, after his enlightenment, he feels refreshed and blessed with good fortune.
But this feeling only lasted for a fleeting moment.
His thoughts flowed faster than any living being could imagine. The next moment, he thought of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, his expression solemn: "Then what about him...? Why is he able to do this? It seems there is more than one such immortal prodigy."
hum!
The celestial light in his eyes pierced the boundless sky, instantly penetrating the passage of time.
Boom...
Fang Chen'ai's body suddenly rose up as if the heavens and earth were rising, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes: "...The Three Thousand Great Worlds...The Ten Subduing Sects, Ouyang Boxiao!"
He saw that man who reigned supreme throughout the ages, overlooking the vastness of heaven and earth.
one person.
That person stood at the end of the collapsing Great Century, facing the will of Heaven alone. The Great Dao and the ancient mountain were all gray, but he remained unchanged.
His long hair hung to the sky, his clothes fluttered without wind, and the Great Dao surrounded him, as if the boundless sun and moon floated around him.
The energy of the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds fluctuated in a single breath, the Milky Way curved because of him, and all realms were still because of him.
Ouyang Boxiao.
That name echoed silently through the depths of time, even sending a chill down his spine.
Gradually.
Above the heavens and earth, that solitary figure gradually faded into the distance.
It seems like walking into annihilation, or into the abyss of time, but it also seems more like heading towards a new "sky".
Fang Chenai remained silent for a long time, utterly shocked.
Cut the sky!
The celestial realm... was created because of them.
The true identity of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor is actually an ancient person from that lower realm era, and he once had an epic battle with Ouyang Boxiao...!
Fang Chen'ai took a deep breath.
The shock on his face continued to spread. He had never seen such a magnificent and unprecedented era of enlightenment and creation. Even the dignified Five Elements Dao Ancestor could only be considered one of the protagonists of that era.
Meng Sheng...
The immortals he considered his greatest enemy seemed utterly insignificant in that era?!
Fang Chen'ai's pupils contracted slightly, and even his breathing became a little sluggish.
The 'miniature world' above his head seemed to be sending out some earth-shattering vibrations, which appeared to be reflecting his extremely turbulent state of mind.
Not long after.
Fang Chen'ai's gaze became calm, and there was not a sound of wind in the world.
His gaze was deep, looking out to the heavens: "...Indeed, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms are the true core territory of the Immortal Realm. However, the fortune of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms has been completely scattered by Ouyang Boxiao, making them somewhat ordinary."
Fortune, destiny.
In the world of cultivation, it is unpredictable.
But he can.
One can bestow the fortune of heaven and earth, and also manifest the creation of all ages.
Fang Chen'ai realized that his greatest advantage lay in this: with Nan Hua by his side, he couldn't possibly risk everything to fight the Five Elements Dao Ancestor who cultivated ten thousand paths, not to mention Meng Sheng, a half-step True Immortal.
Having seized the initiative on the Great Dao Ranking and become a True Immortal first, he must make the most of this unique advantage.
Nan Hua, this person's talent far exceeds his comprehension, he is far behind me, he's just a leech. Meng Sheng is protected by the Eternal Immortal Realm, so it's impossible for him to kill him. Now, my only option is to be far ahead in the path of immortality and suppress the immortal realm for eternity!
"The Dao gives birth to One, and from my Dao, all Daos arise. Even the future Five Elements Dao Ancestor is nothing to fear."
“To cultivate ten thousand paths simultaneously requires an immense foundation. Do you expect the Immortal Realm to support you alone? This path may seem grand and magnificent, but it is ultimately a dead end with no possibility of success.” Fang Chen’ai’s gaze was profound.
The next moment, he summoned the Great Dao True Ranking.
“All spirits cultivate together, and the insights into the Great Dao converge within oneself. This path is without error.” Fang Chen’ai looked across the world. “That is why I have chosen the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, where the Dao lineages are numerous and the vast Immortal Realms are the most brilliant among the Immortal Realms.”
"But due to the constraints of destiny, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms are going against the heavens."
"The world's fortune is scattered and turbid. Why not gather the three thousand immortal realms again, recreate the ancient glory, and usher in a great era of ten thousand paths contending?"
Suddenly, a domineering look appeared in his eyes. "It seems that only the Three Thousand Immortal Realms can truly bear this destiny of heaven and earth. What about the ancients? How could they have imagined the current state of the Immortal Realm and the desolation of the myriad races in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms?"
Fang Chen'ai's deepest impression was of the human race, who were also the greatest victims of the shattered destiny of the race in the later generations of the Immortal Realm.
