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

Chapter 255: Comprehending the Origin of the Infinite Dao, the Ultimate Dao Lord's Unity

When Zhou Cheng began his retreat, Ji Ning also returned to the Three Realms.

Three Realms, Daxia World, Yanshan, and Mingxin Island.

The once ordinary island in the middle of the lake became a true holy place in the Three Realms because of the rise of Zhou Cheng and Ji Ning.

This time, Ji Ning returned from the infinite chaos, bringing with him all kinds of top-notch cultivation methods, and even established a place for the inheritance of the Three Realms here.

In the magnificent Taoist Canon Hall, Patriarch Bodhi was flipping through top-notch time and space cultivation methods with a look of shock on his face.

"This is simply... the great Dao. It is countless times more exquisite than the so-called time and space method I created."

The Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Suiren and other powerful beings from the Three Realms who had achieved the world realm also echoed this.

"Yes, with the endless inheritance and methods coming back from Bei Ming, our Three Realms will surely rise in the infinite chaos in the future."

"Bei Ming, thank you so much. When Nuwa left Primal Chaos, we were looking forward to this day. But trillions of years have passed, and we have never seen Nuwa return."

Patriarch Bodhi also felt a little sad. These innate gods and demons were all born from chaos and had a very good relationship.

They knew Nuwa's temperament and knew she would never abandon her hometown, but the fact that she had not returned for so many years was a very ominous sign.

Ji Ning was silent for a while, and said: "Over the years, I have been looking for news about my teacher and Nuwa in the chaos."

"Before, by chance, I entered the inheritance site of a powerful person. I met my teacher and was receiving inheritance. It was difficult for me to leave the inheritance site in a short time."

"I guess Nuwa must have encountered a similar situation, right?"

Ji Ning found a reason to comfort the worried gods of the three realms.

The gods of the Three Realms were quite happy to hear the news about Zhou Cheng. These powerful beings of the Three Realms were also very grateful to Zhou Cheng, who was suspected to be the reincarnation of a powerful being from outside the realm.

If Zhou Cheng had not turned the tide, who knows how many people would have died because of that mental illness.

Ji Ning made a promise: "Teacher, and a few fellow Taoists, don't worry. This time when I go to the Endless Chaos again, I will definitely find out the news about Nuwa."

Hearing this, powerful men such as Fuxi, Bodhi and Suiren felt much more at ease.

After recuperating in the Three Realms for a period of time, Ji Ning once again embarked on the right path of infinite chaos. With the passage of time, his strength increased day by day, heading towards the peak of Dao Lord.

……

In the depths of chaos adjacent to the Three Realms, in the pure void.

Ripples appeared, and the supreme cave hidden in the void reappeared.

Rumble!
As the cave door opened, Zhou Cheng stepped out.

"Zhou Cheng, if you leave the master's cave, you won't have such good conditions for enlightenment."

The cave spirit tried to keep Ji Ning for the last time. Tens of billions of years had passed since the last time Ji Ning entered the cave.

During this period of time, Zhou Cheng was in a state of time acceleration ten thousand times, and actually secluded himself for a full trillion years, which is equivalent to 1000 Chaos Eras.

"Fellow Daoist, after thousands of years of meditation in the Primordial Chaos Era, I have thoroughly understood 36 ultimate ways, covering the Five Elements, Four Phases, Yin and Yang, Time and Space, Cause and Effect... But the Infinite Way has not yet been deduced to the ultimate level."

"I have a hunch that if I want to push the Way of Wuji to its true ultimate, what I need is not sedimentation, but an epiphany."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, the spirit in the cave sighed upon hearing his words.

"When the old master was practicing the Wuji Dao, he felt that this Dao would never be truly perfect. Now that you have verified it, why are you still obsessed with it?"

"There is no difference between the Dao and the lower Dao. Any ultimate Dao is equally powerful. Moreover, even if one can comprehend a Dao that is even more heaven-defying, how can one merge with the Dao in the future and become eternal?"

The more difficult the Tao is to comprehend, the lower the hope of successfully achieving harmony with the Tao.

Throughout history, which Taoist who has mastered the ultimate Tao is not the most brilliant and amazing person?
But not a single one has succeeded in merging with the Dao and becoming the Eternal Emperor.

Zhou Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to say more. I have left the Stone Fire Pearl behind. When my disciple comes again, please do not embarrass him."

The spirit of the cave nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will treat everyone equally and will not deliberately embarrass anyone."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng flipped his palm, and the void rippled, and a towering flying boat emerged.

Drifting from one realm to another is too far.

Even an emperor who is well versed in the laws of time and space would need tens of thousands of chaotic epochs to cross a domain.

But it’s different with a domain-boundary flying boat. It can tear through time and space and fly quickly, and the time required will be shortened by trillions of times.

"Daoyou, see you in the future."

Zhou Cheng laughed loudly, and with his own evolved energy, he activated this treasure and quickly fled into the distance.

This time when Zhou Cheng ventured into the chaos, it was not without purpose.

As one of the oldest supreme beings, Qi Supreme once created many alien universes in order to verify his own path.

The alien universe is a 'small infinite chaos' created by the Supreme Being's ability to 'transform one path into ten thousand paths'. Except for the different levels of its origin, its other operating mechanisms are almost the same as the real chaos origin.

Zhou Cheng planned to master an alien universe and spy on the Supreme Being's characteristic of 'one way turning into ten thousand ways' in advance to see if he could realize 'ten thousand ways returning to one way'!
There have been seven supreme beings in the history of Endless Chaos, and they have created many alien universes, but Zhou Cheng still chose to control the alien universe created by the Supreme Qi.

Because Qi the Supreme achieved the Supreme with the Wuji Dao, he was able to use the Wuji Dao of the supreme level to evolve the Wuji origin of all Daos, which includes countless great Daos of the eternal level.

Therefore, the alien universe created by the Supreme Qi is also evolved from the 'Origin of the Infinite Ten Thousand Daos' and is closest to the ultimate 'Infinite Dao'.

"The nearest alien universe is too far away from where I am. Even if there is a boundary flying boat, it will take nearly 100 million years for me to drive it."

"I just don't know if this alien universe has a master."

It was a long time ago that Supreme Qi created the alien universes, and it is very likely that those alien universes already have owners.

But it doesn't matter if it has an owner, Zhou Cheng just needs to "borrow" it temporarily.

Rumble!
The turbulence of time and space caused terrifying ripples of time and space in the endless chaos. It was unknown how many powerful people who were practicing the way of time and space were alarmed.

However, after detecting the kind of pressure that could crush eternity emanating from Zhou Cheng himself, they all became obedient.

A powerful person, whose aura far exceeds that of an emperor or a ruler, is not to be trifled with.

……

The infinite chaos is vast, with domains and alien universes one after another, just like reefs in the ocean.

In the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

The Ancient Court Realm is the most powerful realm among the dozen or so realms around it.

The strongest among them is the Lord of the Ancient Court, who is also the leader of more than a dozen domain alliances in the surrounding area and the master of an extremely ancient alien universe.

Guting City is the holy place of the entire Guting domain.

It looks like a city, but it is also a terrifying war fortress weapon from the Sith invaders during the First World War.

At this time, in the center of Guting City, in an ordinary courtyard.

An old man in a grey linen robe was pointing at a boy next to him who looked to be in his teens.

"Wrong, wrong. Becoming a master does not come from simply understanding multiple strongest ways. It also requires a perfect fusion. You..."

Before the grey-robed old man finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he snorted coldly.

"How brave! You are driving the Realm Flying Boat straight to Ancient Court City."

Boom!

Boundless divine power poured into this ancient city. This powerful weapon of war was instantly activated, and almost the entire space and time within the domain were completely blocked.

boom!
The void shook, and a majestic domain flying boat was directly squeezed out.

But before the grey-robed old man could question him, a towering figure walked out of the flying boat of the domain realm, and the endless and terrifying chaotic energy intertwined with the elemental force swept over, instantly changing the old man's expression. "The Chaos Origin Walker... is not one of the eight domain masters, but his pressure is even greater!"

The attitude of Lord Gu Ting changed instantly, and the war base that had just been activated and revived suddenly fell silent.

The eight domain lords are the most top-notch strange life forms, known as Source Walkers.

Those Sith Lords (Supreme) who invaded Chaos in ancient times found it difficult to defeat these eight domain lords as they were repelled by infinite chaos.

The oppressive feeling Zhou Cheng gave to the Lord of Ancient Court at this time was even greater than that of the eight domain lords. If Zhou Cheng had not been rejected by the origin of chaos, the lord would even have thought that a living 'Lord of the Sith' appeared in front of him.

"I wonder where you are from, senior, and what advice you have?"

The grey-robed old man hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to look at Zhou Cheng in the slightest impertinent way.

The gap is too big. Even if he, the master of the alien universe, is not killed instantly when facing this powerful Chaos Source Walker, he will hardly escape death.

Zhou Cheng didn't waste any words. He reached into the air with his right hand and an ancient stone tablet appeared in his palm with a sacred blue and white flower mark on it.

"Do you know this?"

In response to Zhou Cheng's question, the grey-robed old man nodded and said, "I know, I know. This is the token of the deceased Supreme Master Qi. If it weren't for the other universe that Supreme Master Qi gave me, I would not have survived the ancient war."

"It's good to know you. I need to borrow your alien universe for a while, no more than 108,000 Chaos Eras, and then I will return it to you."

Zhou Cheng's incarnation in this life was born as a true spirit by throwing a wisp of will into the long river of fate.

There is no difference in lifespan from an ordinary world realm, and it will perish after 180,000 Chaos Eras.

However, at that time, it will not be the true spirit that returns to the river of destiny, but will return to Zhou Cheng's body.

"Your Excellency holds the Supreme Token, and Gu Ting shall obey your orders."

Lord Gu Ting's mind moved, and a magical crystal stone only the size of a palm emerged.

This is stunningly magnificent. Through the crystal, one can see stars and billions of galaxies.

This is the alien universe. The space inside is even vaster than that of ordinary domains, countless trillions of light-years, but it can be played with at will by the master of the alien universe.

hum!
This crystal universe trembled slightly, and the mark of the Lord of the Ancient Court in its origin began to dissipate.

The next moment, this alien universe crystal began to expand rapidly, and in just a short moment, it turned into a special star with a diameter of one hundred billion miles.

The surface of this special star is vast and hazy, with a faint time distortion, and the waves it emits are vast, strange and unpredictable.

"Senior, this is the alien universe that the Supreme Lord gave me back then."

Lord Gu Ting bowed slightly to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng's mind moved, his figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and sank into this strange universe.

After just a few breaths, this hazy alien universe began to change. Waves of the ultimate way of Tao emanated from the alien universe. There were thirty-six completely different kinds of Tao.

The strength of each ultimate Dao is the limit that Dao Lords can master. The power is comparable to a Dao at the level of an emperor’s master, which is the limit that ordinary emperors can comprehend.

Even those supreme beings, when they were in the realm of emperors, only mastered many sects at the level of dominance.

Boom!

Along with a vibration, this huge star changed, endless chaotic energy filled it, and it turned into a chaotic star.

The next moment, Zhou Cheng's true self emerged, and the alien universe that turned into chaotic stars quickly shrank and merged into Zhou Cheng's body.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng's world-realm clone also entered the alien universe, immersed in the alien universe's original plane, and comprehended the 'Infinite Origin of All Daos' left by the Supreme Qi.

"Senior, do you have any other requests?"

Feeling Zhou Cheng's gaze on him again, Lord Guting bowed hurriedly with a restrained smile on his face.

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "I took it by force this time, so I owe you karma. Don't be so reserved. I will be in seclusion in your Ancient Court City for a while, but it won't exceed 108,000 Chaos Eras."

"If someone wants revenge because you don't have the blessing of the other universe, you can come and wake me up."

Lord Gu Ting said quickly: "I swear on my life that I will give this alien universe to you. I will never ask for it back, and there will be no cause and effect."

"If you want to go into seclusion, I will prepare a place for you to do so."

Although Zhou Cheng's attitude was kind, the lord did not want this good result.

Who knows if it will happen that in order to settle the cause and effect, he would just shoot himself to death?

The Lord of Guting had "follow your heart" written all over his face, so Zhou Cheng didn't continue talking nonsense.

Regardless of whether he succeeds after 180,000 Chaos Eras, Zhou Cheng will give the Yuanli method he has comprehended to the Lord of Guting, as a way to complete the good deeds.

……

The origin of all the infinite paths was created by the infinite path of the supreme level, and its strength is no weaker than the existence of the emperor who achieved success through the infinite path.

The boundless mysteries contained therein intoxicated Zhou Cheng.

"The infinite Dao... If you want to master the ultimate level of the infinite Dao, do you have to comprehend all the Daos to the ultimate level?"

"No... there must be some rules. Just like the endless laws of yin and yang, the four phases, the five elements, the eight trigrams, etc., there must be some deep-seated rules."

"All the ways are united as one, the Great Beginning is infinite. The most fundamental mystery shared by all the ways is already infinite, the Great Beginning, and the source of the Great Way!"

Zhou Cheng was completely immersed in the operation of the origin of this alien universe.

The vast and majestic will observes this 'infinite origin of ten thousand paths', and observes how this infinite origin of ten thousand paths "transforms one path into ten thousand paths"!

The time inside the alien universe is being accelerated.

With the passage of time, Zhou Cheng's understanding of Wuji became deeper and deeper. In the process, he realized more than one ultimate way.

But they just didn't discover the underlying mystery common to all the laws of chaos. It was completely impossible to perceive it, as if it didn't exist at all.

As the long years passed, Zhou Cheng was like a spark that flashed across this world, and disappeared in a flash, and no news of him came out.

Chaotic epochs passed in infinite chaos. The original three realms had long since collapsed, and then were reborn.

Ji Ning, who had just entered the Dao realm, has now reached the pinnacle of the Dao realm. He has gone through repeated trials and is ready to merge with the Dao.

"It really doesn't work to use treasures to deduce the ultimate path of eternity."

"Teacher, I am about to merge with the Dao, where are you?"

In the Flame Dragon Realm, inside the Tiancang Palace, Ji Ning, who had made his final preparations, let out a long breath and gazed into the distance at the chaos.

Boom!

The next moment, a vast pressure swept over, permeating the entire Tiancang Palace and spreading towards the vast Yanlong Realm.

At this moment, the origin of swordsmanship in the endless chaos was vibrating and responding.

The sword origins in the alien universes, which had become one level weaker, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly roared, as if to welcome their master.

Naturally, similar strange phenomena also occurred in the alien universe controlled by Zhou Cheng.

The origin of the sword moved strangely, alarming Zhou Cheng.

"So that's how it is... I understand now. All the Taos are rules!!!"

"Whatever Tao is, it must be based on order and law!"

"Each Tao is a rule that can be comprehended and is the principle that governs the operation of all things!"

"Order is the foundation for the birth of all laws and rules!"
