Chapter 784 Forging all paths, fusing all laws into one, and making them one's own!
Ye Tian slowly emerged from the profound realm where ten thousand runes protected him and thousands of stone tablets resonated with him.
They stood firmly on the vast earth once more.
He gently closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again, the primordial chaos deep within them gradually settling.
It returned to a deep and unfathomable tranquility.
For three whole days, he immersed himself in the life trajectories of ancient sages and the traces of the great Dao.
Although I did not deliberately practice any specific supernatural powers or secret techniques, I experienced a kind of witnessing and resonance that transcended time and space.
The nourishment it provided to his Chaotic Body and the Great Dao of Myriad Transformations was unparalleled by any single lineage.
He witnessed the unyielding spirit of the "Peerless" Sword God, felt the fearlessness of the "Blood Battle" Gun God, and experienced the compassion of the "Compassionate Voyage" Fairy.
Having grasped the protective will of the "Star Emperor," and even glimpsed the true meaning of the Dao's natural way in the ordinariness of the "woodcutter"...
Countless lives, countless paths, countless understandings and applications of the laws of heaven and earth.
Like a vast and boundless torrent of information, it washed over his Dao heart and broadened the boundaries of his cognition.
Even with his extraordinary comprehension and the special physique of the Chaos Body, the source of all laws, he still possessed extraordinary abilities.
Having mastered the Great Dao of Myriad Transformations, which can transform all laws into their origin, he now felt a slight weariness in his mind.
That is not a depletion of strength, but a natural need for spiritual reflection after bearing too much of the Tao and reason.
However, this exhaustion brought with it an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and depth!
He felt that his foundation in Tao had been tempered and refined by the experience and Taoist principles of countless sages, solidifying it to an unimaginable level.
The vast chaotic divine power within his body, as it circulated, lost some of its initial flamboyance and sharpness.
It possesses a greater sense of profoundness and vastness, encompassing the universe and all things.
"Those who have achieved great things throughout history have all had their unique strengths."
Even if one fails to reach the summit, the path it treads is like a spark, illuminating the way forward.
Ye Tian understood immediately.
For him, the greatest gain from the legacy of these sages was not a few powerful techniques, but the countless "paths" that had been explored.
Whether successful or not, they all became his most valuable lessons and foundation for paving his own "invincible path" in the future.
He stood quietly, contemplating the phenomenal sight, while in the distance, the prodigies were still reeling from the earlier astonishing event.
Only now did they seem to regain their breath, looking at each other in disbelief and horror still lingering on their faces.
"He...he just now...absorbed the Daoist runes from thousands of stone tablets?"
A proud member of the Beihai royal family spoke in a hoarse voice, barely able to utter a complete sentence.
"How is that possible? Those runes contain different Great Daos, their attributes clash, and their laws contradict each other. Forcibly absorbing them would only destroy his Dao foundation. How could he be unharmed!"
"The Chaotic Body... Is this the true terror of the Chaotic Body?"
"To forge all laws and return all paths to their origin... It is incredibly difficult for us to comprehend even a single stone tablet."
"Yet he can evoke a resonance among ten thousand monuments, passively accepting the preaching... Is there any justice in this world?!"
"To spend our lives with him is both our fortune and our greatest tragedy!"
A holy son from the Immortal Realm whispered bitterly, his Dao heart greatly shaken.
They stared at the figure in white, their expressions incredibly complex.
Envy, jealousy, awe, fear, and even a hint of despair... a mix of emotions.
Ye Tian's existence seemed to be solely for breaking common sense and trampling on the dignity of these so-called prodigies.
Those who had previously secretly mocked Ye Tian for "not understanding the profound Dharma and only reading idle books"
At this moment, I wish I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into; my face was burning with shame.
They then realized that the gap between themselves and Ye Tian was no longer something that could be bridged by hard work.
That is the chasm between the level of life and the essence of the Tao!
Ye Tian seemed oblivious to the cacophony of gazes and discussions.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, and within that breath, the faint phantoms of ten thousand runes appearing and disappearing flashed by.
"All methods are ready; it is time... to fuse them into one."
He muttered to himself, then stopped hesitating.
Surrounded and witnessed by these thousands of stone tablets, I sat down cross-legged.
It is not about seeking a specific place of enlightenment.
Because at this moment, he himself is in this dense forest of enlightenment.
The core where the Great Dao is most active and where the Daoist spirit is most profound!
"boom!"
As soon as he sat down, the dormant chaotic energy and blood within his body were stirred up again.
But this time, it didn't erupt outwards; instead, it was like a bottomless black hole, frantically condensing inwards!
At the same time, the accumulated thoughts of the past three days were in his mind.
Fragments of Daoist wisdom, life insights, and imprints of laws from countless sages are being fully activated by the Great Dao of the Myriad Transformations, undergoing unprecedented sorting, decomposition, and fusion!
The Chaos Body serves as the furnace, the Origin of All Transformations serves as the Dao Fire, and the vast and eternal Dao Rhyme is the gold that needs to be refined!
"Buzz!" "Clang!" "Ring!" "Roar!"
Various strange phenomena erupted once again, centered on Ye Tian!
His body was no longer passively surrounded by runes, but spontaneously generated all sorts of amazing scenes!
At times, sword energy soars into the sky, tearing apart the heavens; that is the manifestation of the true essence of the "Peerless" swordsmanship.
At times, the sea of blood surges and the air is filled with murderous intent; that is the roar of the undying fighting spirit of the "blood war".
At times, stars circle around and the Milky Way hangs upside down; that is the flow of the Star River Dao of the "Star Emperor".
At times, all things come into being, and plants wither and flourish; that is the natural rhythm of the "woodcutter" flowing through the world...
Countless different, even conflicting, phenomena of the Great Dao appeared simultaneously around him.
They collided, intertwined, and annihilated each other, yet were still harmonized by the primordial chaos and the source of all transformations.
They are struggling to find a balance of coexistence, trying to merge into one!
This process, though seemingly calm, is actually extremely dangerous!
If Ye Tian didn't possess the supreme physique of the Chaos Body and the heaven-defying Great Dao of the Origin of Myriad Transformations...
Anyone else, even those ancient freaks, who dared to forcibly fuse all laws in this way, would have had their foundation shattered and died!
Ye Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and fine beads of sweat even seeped from his forehead.
He was completely immersed in this unprecedented process of merging with the Dao, his mind feeling as if he were walking on a tightrope.
Carefully peeling away the outward appearances of each Daoist principle, we trace back to its most fundamental fragments of law.
Then, taking chaos as a foundation, it attempts to perfectly embed it into its own framework of Dao.
It is an essential sublimation and creation!
He is not going to follow the old path of any sage, but to absorb the essence of all methods and discard the dross.
He created an unprecedented and invincible path that belonged only to Ye Tian!
Time slowly passed during this thrilling process of merging with the Dao.
The other prodigies in the dense forest had long forgotten their own enlightenment and were all holding their breath and concentrating.
They stared in awe at the area shrouded in countless extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao, and at the white-clad figure that appeared and disappeared within it.
They could sense an indescribable, entirely new aura that seemed to transcend all other Daoist principles present.
Within that chaotic furnace, it is slowly gestating and taking shape...
This Ye Tian is actually going to fuse all the laws of magic into one here and forge his own invincible path!
Ye Tian sat cross-legged on the vast Dao land, his eyes closed, his body and mind completely immersed in the profound and mysterious realm of Dao fusion.
His entire aura seemed to merge with this ancient forest of enlightenment, becoming the core of the flow of all paths.
"Boom!"
The strange phenomena surrounding him did not subside; instead, they intensified!
The chaotic energy and blood were like a boiling ocean, surging and turbulent, and in those chaotic waves...
One after another, the illusory figures of sages, each clear and imbued with the true meaning of the Great Dao from different eras, appeared!
At times, a towering, giant phantom roars, its fists cleaving with earth-shattering power.
That's the Dao trace of an ancient barbarian ancestor who proved his Dao through force resonating with me!
At times, a white-robed sword immortal's phantom solidifies, his fingers forming a sword-like shape, and with a gentle slash, an eternal, indelible sword mark is cleaved through the void.
The sharp sword intent sent chills down the spines of the assembled prodigies from afar; it was none other than the supreme sword intent of the "Peerless" Sword God!
At times, a vast star field unfolds above Ye Tian's head, with countless stars moving along mysterious trajectories and star power descending.
Transforming into an eternal divine halo, that is the manifestation of the "Star Emperor's" Great Dao of Stars!
At times, a seemingly ordinary blade of grass sways in the shadows, bursting forth with life in the smallest things, enacting the cycle of withering and flourishing—another manifestation of the woodcutter's way of nature!
Countless phantom images and strange phenomena of ancient sages appeared, collided, and merged in the chaotic energy surrounding Ye Tian like a revolving lantern.
They are no longer independent individuals, but under the guidance of Ye Tian's boundless chaotic will and the Great Dao of Myriad Transformations, they were forced to shed the imprint of the times and their outward forms.
The fragments of the most fundamental laws, like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically merged into his ever-reshaping and sublimating Chaos Dao!
This process was truly astonishing!
It was as if the heroic spirits of eternity were performing magic for him at the same time, and the endless laws of the Dao were being forcibly forged by him!
"My God, what is he doing?!"
"These strange phenomena... are all from the ancient sages recorded on the stone tablets!"
"Their Dao is actually being forcibly merged by Ye Tian?"
"Isn't he afraid of the myriad paths clashing, ultimately leading to the destruction of his path and his own death? That's insane!"
"The Chaotic Body... Is this what makes the Chaotic Body so extraordinary?"
"To forge all laws and incorporate them into oneself... what a terrifying path this will create?!"
In the distance, all the prodigies who witnessed this scene, whether they were royal princesses from the Northern Seas of the Heavens, holy sons and heirs from the Eternal Immortal Realm, or those arrogant ancient freaks, were present.
At this moment, they were all horrified, their minds reeling from an unprecedented shock.
They could clearly sense that the laws governing that region were undergoing a fundamental transformation.
A completely new aura, brimming with infinite possibilities, that transcends all other Daoist principles present.
It is slowly taking shape and growing!
Compared to their shock and horror, Huang Ruoxi, Su Qinglian, Xiao Yan, and other followers of Ye Tian were in awe.
After the initial shock, what emerged on their faces was unparalleled pride.
"Master's extraordinary talent is unparalleled throughout history!"
"To fuse all techniques into one—who can rival such a spirit?"
Huang Ruoxi gazed intently at the figure surrounded by countless strange phenomena, her voice filled with absolute admiration.
"To be able to follow our master and witness such a miracle is the greatest fortune of our lives!"
Su Qinglian smiled faintly, ethereal and otherworldly, yet her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
Xiao Yan grinned even more.
"Just watch, once the master succeeds, all those ancient freaks and invincible physiques will be trampled underfoot!"
They each gained something from this secluded forest of enlightenment.
Before a phoenix rebirth stele, Huang Ruoxi comprehended a deeper level of the Phoenix Treasure Technique, and her aura became increasingly noble and sacred.
Under a moonlit stone tablet, Su Qinglian learned the lost Guanghan Immortal Technique, which made her even more aloof and otherworldly.
Xiao Yan obtained a portion of the Burning Heaven Emperor's inheritance from a stone tablet burning with an inextinguishable Dao Flame.
The flame runes around his body became even more intense and mysterious.
However, they soon discovered an even more astonishing phenomenon!
When they were meditating within a certain range near Ye Tian's enlightenment area.
The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand inscriptions and traces of the stele have become much clearer!
It was as if the chaotic Dao rhythm emanating from Ye Tian during his fusion with the myriad laws resonated with the aftershocks.
It imperceptibly cleansed the laws of this world, making the essence of the Great Dao easier to perceive and understand!
"To comprehend the Dao beside my master has such miraculous effects?!" Xiao Yan was both surprised and delighted.
"That's right! Master is forging all laws and drawing out the manifestation of the origins of all paths. We are here, which is like observing the root of the Great Dao up close. Naturally, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
Su Qinglian understood.
Huang Ruoxi made a decisive decision.
"In that case, we will stay here to protect our master and prevent anyone from disturbing him!"
"At the same time, this is also a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for us to attain enlightenment!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They quickly dispersed, occupying several positions around Ye Tian.
On the one hand, they watched warily as those onlookers in the distance, each with their own thoughts, observed the scene.
On the other hand, he also seized this rare opportunity, sat down cross-legged, protected Ye Tian while immersing himself in his own enlightenment.
Enveloped by Ye Tian's chaotic Daoist aura, their speed of comprehending the stone tablet far exceeded that of usual, and many previously incomprehensible obstacles suddenly became clear.
The various precious skills and secret techniques he had learned were also rapidly improved and integrated under this high-level and comprehensive environment.
For a time, a peculiar scene formed with Ye Tian at its core.
At the center, myriad strange phenomena appeared, and chaotic energy surged as Ye Tian undertook an unprecedented feat of merging with the Dao.
Meanwhile, on the periphery, Huang Ruoxi and the others acted as the most loyal guards, keeping watch while bathing in the afterglow of the chaotic Dao rhythm, their cultivation and comprehension also improving rapidly.
This scene was deeply imprinted in the eyes of all the onlookers, leaving them with extremely complex emotions.
There was both boundless shock and fear at Ye Tian's heaven-defying behavior, and envy and jealousy that Huang Ruoxi and others were able to benefit from it and improve.
Some clever and ambitious individuals even tried to secretly get closer to him.
They wanted to absorb a trace of the lingering glow of the chaotic Dao, but the pervasive pressure of countless Daos and the cold, wary gazes of Huang Ruoxi and the others made them hesitate.
