Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 253 The birth of a new evolutionary system, the inheritance of the ultimate way
[PS: The setting of the Nine-Layer Chaos Restriction is wrong. Thanks to the book friends for reminding me. It has been modified.]

"Qi refining, golden elixir, Nascent Soul... Dou Qi, magic, power of faith, all kinds of cultivation systems of the entire cultivator civilization are included."

Zhou Cheng sat cross-legged in the hall, with a surge of spiritual power that surpassed the level of an emperor or a ruler.

Countless billions of jade slips were suspended in the air, emitting light, and then surged, turning one into thousands, interweaving into hundreds of billions of complex ancient characters, engraved in the void, shining brightly.

The essence of the cultivation system, numbering in the hundreds of billions of volumes, was opened to Zhou Cheng without reservation.

The blazing light of the soul shone brightly between Zhou Cheng's brows, as if a supreme divine sun at the level of mind was hanging high in the sky, illuminating eternity.

"The spirit, soul, and ethereal mental power... have all reached the limit of the emperor level. They are among the top among the Chaos Origin Walkers. Especially the physical body, which is extremely powerful and has a vitality that is even more terrifying than the master back then."

In a special dimension within the cave space, the spirit of the cave couldn't help but marvel.

This infinite chaos is truly filled with all kinds of wonders, and it can even give birth to life of such an incredible level.

The eight domain lords mentioned by the spirit of the cave are the eight most powerful beings who rule the entire infinite chaos. They are the top chaos source practitioners, and each of them has thousands of domains under his command.

They have mastered the powerful magic weapons of the Sith invaders, mastered countless ways of domination, and mastered more than one alien universe. They are the strongest people under the Supreme.

"Being able to gain recognition from the origin of infinite chaos and mobilize the power of 'Tao', it is undoubtedly a creature nurtured by infinite chaos."

"It is very likely that it has the same origin as the special Shi Huo creature that the old master killed back then."

The spirit of the cave only needs to confirm that Zhou Cheng is not an invader of the Sith tribe and is not rejected by the infinite source of chaos. That is enough.

The rest...is not important. The stronger the better.

……

Time passes, from ancient times to the present!
Zhou Cheng's original body sat cross-legged, causing the space-time around his world-realm clone to distort, and the passage of time increased by hundreds of millions times.

In this way, a hundred years passed, and Zhou Cheng actually comprehended it for nearly 10 billion years.

Pong!
The blazing flames rose up and flickered on Zhou Cheng's body, as if they were going to burn down the years and melt everything.

What follows next is the fluctuation of the origin of earth. The ashes become earth, and fire creates earth.

Then the five elements rotate, gold is contained in the earth, gold turns into water, water nourishes the sacred tree, and wood burns into fire.

Boom!

The Great Five Elements divine light shone brightly, transforming into a perfect ring that surged behind Zhou Cheng, emitting an aura of great perfection and ultimate.

"The Way of the Five Elements, the Ultimate Way of the Five Elements!"

The spirit of the cave recognized the path Zhou Cheng was practicing at a glance.

In this endless chaos, I once saw a Taoist master who had cultivated one of the five elements to the ultimate level.

His master, Qi Zhizun, once saw a demonic Lord of Life and Death who had mastered the ultimate power of fire to absolute perfection.

But people like Zhou Cheng regard the Five Elements as a whole and comprehend the way of integration of the Five Elements.

There is no difference between the two in strength. For example, some people have mastered the strongest way of fusion of the five elements, while some people have mastered the strongest way of fusion of fire. They can melt the high temperature way, the burning way, etc. and turn them into the strongest fire. Both are the strongest ways and there is no difference between them.

The ultimate is the ultimate. Unless Zhou Cheng cultivates every extreme of the Five Elements to the ultimate, he can truly transcend the ultimate path.

"He is still comprehending... The ultimate way itself has almost no hope of successfully integrating with the way. Does he intend to deduce each extreme of the five elements to the ultimate?"

The spirit of the cave could no longer hold back and decided to warn him.

hum!
Strands of dim white divine light intertwined, and the figure of the white-haired old man once again appeared in front of Zhou Cheng.

"Young man, if you continue to comprehend, I'm afraid you will never be able to successfully merge with the Dao in this lifetime."

Zhou Cheng slowly opened his eyes and said, "Senior Cave Spirit, this is my path. What I want to pursue is the absolute ultimate."

“After there is nothing left to comprehend and nothing left to comprehend, all the ways will merge and evolve to the true ultimate. I call this… the Great Beginning!”

The spirit of the cave could not help but say, "But this is unrealistic. Your Taishi realm is too profound. If it is not in accordance with the Tao, you can only live for 18000 Chaos Eras. Even the Taoist Master of Life and Death does not have such a long lifespan."

"I will do whatever I can. In just 10 billion years, I have already deduced to this point. One Chaos Era is 10 trillion years. With 108,000 Chaos Eras, I naturally have confidence."

"But even if you can master everything, how can you achieve harmony with the Tao? Throughout history, among all the Taoists who have mastered the ultimate Tao, no one has succeeded in achieving harmony with the Tao and becoming the eternal ultimate."

Zhou Cheng smiled and shook his head, then said calmly: "If there is no precedent, I will create this precedent. If there is no way forward, then I will create a way."

After the daily manifestation of the divine power was over, Zhou Cheng looked at the spirit of the cave and said, "Senior, let me show you something good."

"Ninth level space collapses!"

As Zhou Cheng's mind moved, the blue and white mark on his forehead began to dissipate, and the nine-layer space between his eyebrows also began to collapse. The sacred blue and white that grew in this space and could fuse all kinds of power also withered.

"All the ways are born, all the ways perish, the source of the great way, the beginning of all things..."

In a trance, there was a whisper-like voice echoing in the hall. A new mark appeared between Zhou Cheng's eyebrows. It was an absolute circle, flowing with all the colors in the world, which could be called chaotic color.

Boom!

The circle was born, the avenue started running, magic power, divine power, mental power... all kinds of power were intertwined.

At this moment, the divine crystal of the body refining school disintegrated, the Dao tree of the qi refining school was annihilated, and the heart space of the mind power school also collapsed... All the power traced back to the original origin, and gave birth to a brand new power, crystal clear and dazzling, which turned into a seed and took root in Zhou Cheng's body.

"This is... a perfect nine-layer space. Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things... It is the Infinite and Indestructible. The Infinite and Indestructible deduction made by the master was correct!"

The white-haired old man burst into tears at this moment. In just a few breaths, his face was covered with tears and he was so excited that he could not control himself.

The nine-fold space, or the nine-fold chaos restriction, is incomplete.

Over the long years, the Supreme Master Qi, who created this method, has been perfecting it.

In the version circulating in the world, once one becomes the Lord of Life and Death, one cannot practice this method, and the power of mist generated by this method can only be added to the physical body and the soul, and cannot leave the body.

If these are minor problems, then the big problem is that this version of the method can only be cultivated to the Daojun level.

However, after being perfected by Supreme Master Qi, this method can now be practiced by the Emperor, but not by the Supreme Master.

But this final version has never been passed down to the world.

Until the death of Supreme Qi, he had not created a version that allowed the Supreme to practice, but he also deduced two perfect paths. The first path was the immortality of the void, and the second path was the immortality of the infinite, which was also the path that Supreme Qi believed to be the most promising, but also the most difficult.

Based on the principle that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, we can trace everything back to the innate nature.

“Your method… can it be practiced by life forms of supreme level?” The spirit of the cave could not help but ask.

Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and said, "According to my deduction, from the very beginning of cultivation, the physical body, magic power and mind are united to evolve into the original state. I call it Yuanli. When cultivating Yuanli, the physical body, soul, true spirit and mind power will all transform accordingly."

"Then, according to the normal realm, from Xiantian, Zifu to Emperor, and Supreme, you can break through normally."

"But I am not the Supreme after all. This is just my speculation. It is impossible that after the Emperor of the Yuanli School breaks through to the Supreme, the Yuanli will be re-differentiated into divine power, magic power and mental power, right?"

The spirit of the cave pondered for a moment and nodded: "Logically speaking, your inference is correct. After all, you are not the Supreme Being. How can you grasp the changes in the Supreme Being realm? I am forcing you."

"You have come this far, and your understanding of the evolution system is no less than that of the master. You should also be able to master the master's inheritance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall roared and a mysterious space was revealed.

In this mysterious space, endless chaotic energy surges, among which twelve stars shine brightly, illuminating the dim chaos.

"These are the twelve inheritances that the master collected. Eleven of them are the inheritances of the eleven ultimate ways. The last inheritance is also my master's way."

Eleven jade slips and a crystal clear gem condensed from divine consciousness fell in front of Zhou Cheng.

"You have mastered all the methods of the Heritage Hall. Next is the second hall, the Enlightenment Hall."

"You come with me."

As the cave spirit finished speaking, a door opened on the wall at the end of the hall, revealing another ancient hall.

This is a Bagua Hall, which is only about a hundred feet in radius, and there are about ten thousand jade slips placed around it.

In the center of this hall, there is a protruding black stone platform, similar to a futon, in the shape of the Bagua, with a faint white halo.

"This is the enlightenment stone platform. It has a very strong effect on the supreme being's enlightenment of the great Dao. You can directly gain enlightenment here in the future."

"In addition, the master has another magical treasure for enlightenment that he can give you, but there is a test, that is, you can only obtain it if you create ten methods of the Lord of the Holy City level."

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly. The Emperor and the peak Dao Lord are the same. Their strength depends entirely on the Dao they have mastered.

The three most common levels of Dao are ordinary, top and strongest. The one who masters the strongest Dao is the Lord of the Holy City. The fusion of multiple strongest Daos becomes the Emperor.

Above them are the Lords of the Other Universes, Emperors of Domain, etc., which basically have powerful treasures or are at a level that can only be reached by those from other universes. In a sense, it is not a realm but can only be called an evaluation of combat power.

Of course, there is no Ultimate Dao Emperor here. The Ultimate Emperor is a BUG-level existence, especially the Ultimate Dao Emperor who is good at attacking. His killing power is so strong that he can even suppress the real Supreme.

"I have already created five master-level methods, which are more difficult than creating ten holy city-lord-level methods. Senior, you won't give in to this, right?"

As Zhou Cheng spoke, the Great Five Elements Divine Light bloomed behind him, evolving into a fire knife, a golden spear, a wooden building, an earthen tower, and water drops, corresponding to the five elements' five magical powers.

The spirit of the cave laughed and said, "This test itself is to screen talents. As long as you can create it, it means that your understanding and knowledge have met the master's requirements."

Then the white-haired old man waved his hand.

hum!
Transparent ripples spread out, and two precious orbs appeared in the air in the hall.

One of them is about the size of an egg, and exudes a soft Taoist rhythm, which allows people to enter a state of great joy, great peace, and great tranquility, and has many wonderful uses for enlightenment.

Another gem has endless and dazzling secret patterns flowing on it. Those secret patterns are constantly interweaving and changing, evolving the mysteries of thousands of evolutionary systems.

"This first gem was named 'Stone Fire Pearl' by my master and the other Supreme Beings. It can be called the number one treasure for enlightenment!"

"The origin of this stone fire bead is very special. It is the life crystal core of a magical life similar to your original body. It is a burning stone fetus life, but it is much stronger than you and not weaker than the real supreme being."

"As long as you integrate a wisp of divine thought into it, you can use this treasure and keep yourself in a state of enlightenment at all times. That's why it's called the number one treasure for enlightenment and also the number one treasure for harmony with the Tao."

Zhou Cheng took the stone fire bead, and a ray of divine consciousness penetrated into his body.

Suddenly, this stone fire bead turned into billions of warm and soft candlelight, pouring into Zhou Cheng's body, spreading all over his body, inside and out.

hum!
At this moment, Zhou Cheng entered a true state of enlightenment.

The body and mind are absolutely relaxed, close to the nature of heaven and earth, the origin of chaos, the mind and consciousness enter a special state, as if endless spiritual light is interweaving in the heart.

What the spirit of the cave said was absolutely correct. By integrating this gem, the efficiency of enlightenment could be increased by unknown times. It is truly worthy of the title of the number one treasure for enlightenment.

"This treasure, together with the enlightenment platform, can increase your comprehension efficiency to a terrifying level. However, even so, it is basically impossible for you to fully comprehend the Tai Shi you mentioned within 108,000 Chaos Eras."

The spirit of the cave was not optimistic about Zhou Cheng at all. According to Zhou Cheng's goal, he wanted to understand all the truths and make the entire infinite chaos no longer mysterious in his eyes.

This is not an achievement that can be achieved by human power!

Not to mention the limit of one hundred and eighty thousand Chaos Eras, even if one's life span was infinite, it would be impossible to achieve.

Because the origin of the infinite chaotic universe is mysterious and constantly evolving, how could anyone possibly grasp all the changes?

What's more, those emperors who are in harmony with the Tao, every one of them, is carving out his own path out of nothing.

Every time the Dao is combined, the mystery of infinite chaos becomes more profound.

It is a paradox to comprehend infinite principles with a limited lifespan.

"Wherever step I take, that's the step. If I fail, I will leave my legacy behind to pave a way for future generations."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he looked at another orb with ninety-nine layers of mysterious patterns on it: "What is this orb?"

"This orb is the master's final version of the Nine-Layer Space. It has never been circulated in the human world and has been perfected to the level of an emperor."

The white-haired old man stretched out his hand and the precious orb fell in front of Zhou Cheng.

"After all, you are not an emperor. You have only deduced the mysteries of Yuanli to the level of the Taoist Lord of Life and Death. You can use the master's inheritance to fill in the gaps. If you can unlock the ninety-nine layers of secret patterns on the orb, you will see a passage left by the master for you."

“If you can use the ultimate way to merge with the Dao in the future, become an emperor, and become eternal, then you can refine me and become the master of this supreme cave. Come on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of the cave spirit dissipated again, leaving this place to Zhou Cheng to gain enlightenment.
