CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 356: THE VOID AS THE FURNACE, THE TRIBULATION OF THE GREAT DAO

"Unmovable like a mountain!"

The Jieyin Daoist hurriedly invoked Buddhist Law to stabilize his very essence, maintaining his true form regardless of the onslaught from the Power of Destiny.

Seeing this, the Zhunti Daoist also utilized the Light of Infinite Wisdom, endlessly contending with the Power of Destiny, seemingly attempting to claim it for his own.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Due to his disguised appearance, Yuanshi Tianzun found it difficult to wield many Divine Skills and Magic Treasures, yet he was confident in suppressing the two.

"Destiny-bestowed presence!"

With a thunderous shout from Yuanshi Tianzun, the intertwining of infinite causality and the Power of Destiny surged, causing his aura to skyrocket, followed by a world-shaking strike.

"Primal Immortal Light!"

A light descended from the very beginning of Heaven and Earth Creation, annihilating the endless void, transforming all things into their most primal state.

Jieyin and Zhunti dared not be careless; they quickly invoked Great Dao Divine Power to resist.

"Silent Extinction Heavenly Saber!"

"Six Roots Severing Life!"

The two collaborated harmoniously, with the Jieyin Daoist resisting Yuanshi Tianzun’s divine skills head-on, while the Zhunti Daoist took the Power of Seven Emotions and Six Desires to its extreme, attempting to dismantle Yuanshi Tianzun’s Power of Destiny.

The Space-Time River surged with turbulent waves, worlds shattered, turning into crystalline foam, shimmering with brilliant silver light in the Space-Time River.

"Are they fighting again?"

Above the Space-Time River, Xuanqing silently opened his eyes, deducing with a slight calculation that the Primordial Saints were instigating the Dragon Han Tribulation!

During this period, he had not been paying attention to the Primordial World, instead focusing on deducing the path of the Mythological Daluo.

The vastness of Da is all-encompassing, the path of Daluo inherently limitless, devoid of so-called boundaries.

In former days, Xuanqing, building upon the unbounded Dao, the Dao imprinting throughout the heavens, deduced the Daluo Fourth Realm of the Dao Seal Spirit Platform!

However, this is not the limit of Daluo!

It’s just that people’s vision can’t break through this shackle, thus restricting Daluo to the Fourth Realm, needing other means to advance.

For instance, the Primordial Chaos Dao, the Three Corpses Cutting Technique, or insight into other Great Daos!

"Space-Time!"

Over the years, he has gained some insight, realizing that the path of Daluo is intimately tied to space-time. If he could refine the Space-Time River at his feet, his Daluo path could undoubtedly advance further.

The essence of cultivation is the migration of life’s level, each realm a new dimension, offering a completely different perspective on things.

One dimension is a line, two dimensions a plane, three dimensions a spatial world, synonymous with the mortal realm, while four dimensions include the concept of time.

The fifth dimension is a superposition of parallel universes, the sixth dimension an observational parallel universe state, the seventh dimension an observational causality state, akin to the level of the Primordial World.

Long ago, Xuanqing discovered that the Primordial World is a multi-dimensional overlapped universe, housing both the three-dimensional universe for mortal existence as well as a seven-dimensional cosmos for the observation of causality and destiny by Daluo Golden Immortals.

Prior to the sixth dimension, causes precede effects, whereas after the seventh dimension, results precede causes; this is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao’s immutable mandate and myriad Great Divine Ability wielders reversing effect and cause.

Both Primordial Golden Immortal and Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal represent the diversion of the Daluo path when it becomes untenable, opting for the shortcut of transforming life’s level.

Their life levels might reach heights of the eighth, even ninth dimension, yet their Great Dao remains confined to the bounds of the seven-dimensional universe.

This constitutes the cognitive impediments in cultivation.

Only a select few cultivators can pierce the mist of space-time, glimpsing the higher dimensional levels.

In his view, Pangu’s act of Heaven and Earth Creation in pursuit of transcendence was aimed to elevate to a higher dimension, achieving another shift in life’s level.

However...

The Great Dao does not favor seeing Pangu transcend, resorting to every conceivable method to obstruct, even manifesting the Heaven-Opening Calamity, mobilizing three thousand Chaos Demon Gods to slay Pangu!

"Only space-time is eternal!"

These years, Xuanqing has diligently observed the Space-Time River, probing the Mythological Daluo path, unveiling this world’s only eternal and immortal entity.

That entity is the Space-Time River!

Whether creating heavens or destroying worlds, the Space-Time River persists, originating as a singular point, with the evolving Chaotic Universe manifesting more dimensions, culminating into the Infinite Tribulation’s descent, the universe’s Returning Ruins, the epoch terminating, collapsing again into a space-time singularity!

An epoch concludes, an epoch begins anew, cyclically, seeking to break free from this loop, leaving only the pursuit of the supreme Transcendence Realm!

He once received Yang Mei’s insights related to the Space-Time Great Dao, wherein Yang Mei’s conception included the ambition to harmonize with the Space-Time River.

"If it is harmonization, then am I the Space-Time River, or is the Space-Time River me?"

"Why not simply refine it!"

Since nurturing this idea, Xuanqing has continually utilized the space-time singularities he left behind, in hopes of completely refining the Space-Time River!

Back then, collaborating with The Three Pure Ones to counter Heavenly Dao Hong Jun, he even assisted in refining the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Now, his strength has multiplied several times over, thus refining the Space-Time River isn’t beyond the realm of possibility!

The Space-Time River’s power surpasses any Chaos Treasure; if refined, he would be fully confident in suppressing Pangu!

Of course, this assumes Pangu, upon return, does not advance further!

During these three hundred Great Cycles, his Refining Dao Power extends over countless timelines, even reaching back to the pre-Chaotic Universe inception.

From the endless years of the Taiyi era to this current juncture, all has been encompassed by his Refining Dao Power.
