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

Chapter 283: Attaining the Mother of the Great Dao and Achieving the Realm of Taishi (End of this Volume)
"Rumble..."

As Zhou Cheng stepped into Tongtian Pavilion, the door slowly closed.

Inside the Tongtian Pavilion, there is endless chaos and thick chaotic mist is surging.

Faintly, one could hear faint sounds from the chaotic mist, like chanting, or whispering, as if they were debating the Dharma.

As Zhou Cheng goes deeper into it, the chaotic mist will disperse to both sides, revealing a path. At the same time, the faint sound of magic will become clearer and clearer.

"An island? The sound of the debate on the law and the truth should have come from that island."

After Zhou Cheng walked along this road for a while, he saw the small island.

And there were traces of blood on the road near the island.

That is the blood of the Taoist Lord. Even after endless years, it has never decayed. It exudes some innate spiritual light and possesses all kinds of incredible mysteries.

"It seems that this road is not without danger."

Zhou Cheng's gaze fell on the bloodstains. These bloodstains came from at least two dozen Dao Lords, and contained completely different auras and fluctuations.

It is normal to have dangers. How can the path to seeking the truth be smooth sailing?
Zhou Cheng's footsteps immediately quickened. As the distance to the island got closer and closer, after crossing a certain limit, a roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Boom..."

The two voices of distinguishing the Dharma seemed to turn into the sound of a huge bell, causing all paths to vibrate and the avenue to roar.

Inside Zhou Cheng's body, the Dao Fruit of the Twenty-third Heavenly Sovereign was trembling, and even had a tendency to collapse.

"Your path is wrong..."

"The true way is..."

The voices of rebuke echoed one after another, punishing the heart and the Tao, and shocking the newcomers!
If one's Taoism practice is not sufficient and one's Taoism heart is not strong, there is even the possibility that the Tao fruit will directly disintegrate, and the body and Taoism will be completely destroyed.

However, those who can enter here are all people of extraordinary talent or those who have achieved the status of Tao Lords. They will not die, but they will be affected to some extent.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, both of you are right, but they are not complete!"

Zhou Cheng endured the shock of the Dao Fruit, and with his Dao heart in his arms, he took a step forward. The Tai Shi Dao Wheel appeared, hazy and drowsy.

Those shouts of great Dao and mysterious Dao sounds, under the illumination of the Tai Shi Dao Wheel, transformed into two hazy figures and were imprinted in the Tai Shi Dao Wheel.

Boundless and mysterious symbols of the Great Dao flew out from the mouths of the two hazy figures and merged into the twenty-three completely different circles of Great Dao divine light of the Tai Shi Dao Wheel.

"My two Taoist friends, why don't you listen to my teachings?"

Zhou Cheng's figure flashed, and he appeared directly on the island. Boundless auspicious clouds spread out, and the twenty-three generations of Tao fruits transformed into boundless visions, dotted in the auspicious clouds.

At this moment, Zhou Cheng's original figure seemed to transform into an infinitely majestic Dharma image. He sat cross-legged among thousands of strange visions, chanting the Tao.

Suddenly, on this path, three completely different avenues and sounds of the Tao collided and communicated.

Thousands of spiritual lights and strange visions were born and sublimated in the expansion of these three Dao sounds, and finally turned into mysterious streams of light and merged into Zhou Cheng's Dao Wheel.

As time passed, Zhou Cheng gained a deeper understanding of these two different ways, and he integrated them all into his own Tai Shi.

"Now, I can answer these great questions one by one."

As Zhou Cheng moved, the Tai Shi Dao Wheel reflected two different figures, who answered the questions they raised with their own Taoism.

With each question he solved, the pressure on Zhou Cheng became less, and he was able to go further.

In just half a day, with the last question solved, Zhou Cheng landed on the island.

……

At this time, outside the Tsutenkaku, on the pillars.

After the Tongtian Pavilion was opened, all the Dao Lords began to retreat once again. Of course, some Dao Lords were just watching the fun, wanting to know how high Zhou Cheng's perception and talent were.

Among them naturally were the Palace Master of the Yuanmu Palace and the Taoist Master Tianfei who had led Zhou Cheng here.

"Tian Fei, how long did it take you to pass the first level?" Yuanmu suddenly looked at the female Taoist beside her with interest.

Tian Fei Daojun was slightly startled, and then recalled himself back then: "For more than 700 years, I was one of the worst in the Daojun Palace. If he hadn't allowed me to enter the Daojun Palace, I probably wouldn't be qualified to come in with my talent."

"I remember that Sister Yuanmu only took one month, which was faster than the Wuji Palace Master and Guangdu Palace Master."

Mother Yuan looked at Zhou Cheng who was about to pass the first level, and a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

It's only been an hour, it went too fast.

“Although it took me a month to pass the first level, I did not answer all the questions. Instead, I forced my way through with the power of a Heavenly Venerable.”

"Guangdu and Wuji answered all the questions, and actually needed much less time than me."

A strange look also appeared on the cold face of Tian Fei Daojun, and she said softly: "This fellow Daoist's practice is probably the closest to Brother Taichu and him."

"Are you still going to wait for him?"

"Ok!"

……

At this time, in Tongtian Tower, Zhou Cheng climbed up to the island and saw a cliff standing there.

On the cliff, there is a stone carving of a figure sitting cross-legged.

That figure was very special. It was not a simple outline, but a mysterious physical structure, illustrating the mystery of the unity of Tao fruit and physical body.

In front of the cliff, there was a pile of bones, flesh and even complete human skin.

These are all part of the Dao Lord's physical body. They have come to this point by comprehending the stone carvings left by the two first-generation hall masters, refining their physical bodies, becoming one with the Dao, undergoing a transformation, and expelling the "impurities" from their bodies.

"I have attained the Great Element, combined with my own Great Dao, and achieved the Five-in-One of Dao, Fruit, Spirit, Body, and Heart, and transformed into the Great Element Spiritual Light. This is just the unity of Dao and Body, which is far inferior to me, and there is no need for me to comprehend it."

Zhou Cheng just pondered for a while the method of the two hall masters' unity of Tao and body contained in the stone carving, and then he directly passed this level. The whole process took less than a cup of tea.

After crossing this small island, Zhou Cheng saw the second island.

There is still a cliff standing on the island, and a stone carving is still engraved on the cliff.

The previous stone carving is a picture of the physical body, and this one is a picture of the soul.

"Are the following levels about the Four-in-Oneness of Dao, Fruit, Dharma, and Body?"

Zhou Cheng frowned slightly. If that were the case, it wouldn't be of much benefit to him.

After crossing the second small island, Zhou Cheng arrived at the third island.

It was not a surprise. The cliff on this island was a picture of the imprint of the Great Dao, which still told the mystery of the unity of Dao, Fruit, body and spirit.

However, the two hall masters imprinted the three thousand great ways of the Yuandao era that they had condensed on it, and Zhou Cheng was able to comprehend it and verify each other.

The whole process took about half a day before we arrived at the fourth island.

On the fourth island is the Dao Fruit Diagram.

It was the Taichu Daoguo structure left by Taichu Tianzun, one of the two first-generation hall masters. Zhou Cheng comprehended it briefly and then went straight to the last level.

"Boom..."

When Zhou Cheng stepped onto the island of the fifth level, he saw the forks in the long river of time.

"The Daojun Palace has cut off a section of each era, allowing people to enter and comprehend the great Dao?"

Zhou Cheng was a little surprised. To cut off time, intercept a moment, and move to the Daojun Palace, this was definitely a big deal.

"Okay, okay, I have condensed the Dao Fruits of the Heavenly Sovereign from the Yuan Dao era to the present." "But now is the Xian Dao era, and one cannot become a Dao Sovereign without the Dao Fruits of the Xian Dao. This place is just right for me to become a prehistoric Dao Sovereign!"

Zhou Cheng's figure flashed, and he stepped into that section of time and space.

Before the way of immortality, the first era was the way of curses!

Boom!

The three thousand mantras vibrated, intertwined and rose, turning into an innate immortal spiritual light, evolving into a vast Tai Shi mantra innate.

As Zhou Cheng proved his Dao, this section of time and space collapsed, and his figure went against the trend and stepped into an older era of magic.

A moment later, the prehistoric magic path proved its way and condensed the innate power of the Taishi magic path.

Just like this, Zhou Cheng began to attain the magic path, monster path, god path, human path, soul path... Yuanmie Dao, Yuantian Dao, Yuanqi Dao, and finally Yuan Dao!

"Buzz!"

The Taishi Dao Wheel was spinning, and the twenty-two circles of prehistoric Dao monarchs’ Dao fruits around it were shining brightly.

With the collapse of the space-time section, the island in the fifth level emerged again, and Zhou Cheng's figure stood in the center of the island.

Only a breath of time had passed since Zhou Cheng landed on the island.

In just this short moment of breathing, Zhou Cheng achieved the perfection of the 22nd Taoist Lord and the Taoist fruit of Heavenly Venerable.

"In the Immortal Path Era, one must attain the Taishi Immortal Path Innateness!"

Zhou Cheng slowly opened his eyes, three thousand immortal lights shone brightly, evolving three thousand immortal ways, blending and roaring, transforming into the innate immortal way.

Boom!

The Dao fruits of the twenty-three great Heavenly Lords vibrated and transformed into circles of Dao wheels that surrounded Zhou Cheng, with the mystery of Tai Shi flowing between them.

In an instant, as Zhou Cheng's mind moved, the twenty-three great Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruits transformed into twenty-three bodies, sitting around Zhou Cheng's original body, each one hazy.

"Everyone, please help me."

Zhou Cheng laughed loudly, and the figures transformed from the Dao fruits began to disappear and burn... The blazing heavenly fire of annihilation rose up, causing all the mysteries of the Dao to fall into chaos, collapse, and decay.

“This is the other side of Tao, this is the other side of order and regularity, disorder and chaos.”

Zhou Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter. He realized that the secret technique had been pushed to the extreme. He was immersed in the process of the avenue collapsing, order turning into disorder, and regularity turning into chaos.

Behind Zhou Cheng's original body, the faint light of Tai Shi became brighter and brighter.

"Boom..."

At this moment, the entire Daojun Palace trembled slightly, and countless figures were startled.

Almost the entire Daojun Palace, except for Daojun who was obsessed with the Great Dao, everyone was startled and awakened at this moment.

"That Initial Dao Lord...is gone!"

Tianfei Daojun, who was originally trying to sense how long it would take Zhou Cheng to pass the fifth level, suddenly opened her eyes and found that she could no longer sense the existence of Chushi Daojun.

The Yuanmu next to her also changed her expression slightly, and activated her own innate great power to perceive.

"Did he really disappear in Daojun Palace?"

"Where did he go? Did he follow the sections of each era and step into prehistory in person?"

Entering the prehistoric era will definitely trigger major causes and effects, leading to changes in subsequent eras.

Then the weight of the Dao Lords and countless living beings of the subsequent eras will be placed on the shoulders of the time traveler. Even if he is a Heavenly Lord, he will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Because there were so many terrifying things in each subsequent era.

……

At this time, Zhou Cheng had already entered a false state.

At this moment, everything in the world, all the laws of time and space... everything, has turned into a dream bubble.

Zhou Cheng was completely immersed in the Tai Shi Xiantian and the boundless mystery of the Great Dao.

Every minute and every second, Zhou Cheng felt the endless laws evolving and infinite rules changing.

Order and disorder are intertwined, entropy increase and decrease are in reincarnation, birth and extinction are in resonance... eternity and change are in unity.

Zhou Cheng felt an indescribable joy. When he emerged from this joy, he couldn't help but let out a long roar, releasing his boundless joy!

“Mysterious, mysterious, wonderful, wonderful…Using Tao to prove Tao, the real origin is the only Tao, the Great Beginning, the original rule, the mother of all concepts!”

As Zhou Cheng opened his eyes, wherever his eyes passed, all things shook, the heaven and earth roared, and the entire chaos followed Zhou Cheng's gaze, and vast universes were born, which were annihilated in an instant.

"Brother Chushi, long time no see."

A hoarse voice sounded, and Zhou Cheng's eyes fell on a dejected figure.

Daojun Temple is gone.

The whole world disappeared. Or rather, the whole world no longer existed... everything was extinguished.

In the endless nothingness, one can still see some ruins, telling of the glory of the past immortal era.

"You are... Zichuan?"

Zhou Cheng was a little stunned. Jiang Zichuan from Jiangnan was very different from the boy he remembered.

As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

Zhou Cheng felt great sorrow from Jiangnan. He was no longer a young man, but turned into a white-haired old man.

"It's me, Brother... It's right to prove the Dao with the Dao. I finished proving the Dao earlier than you."

“But in the process of preaching, we transcended time and came to the end of time. Everything is irreversible.”

Jiangnan was a little lonely. He once tried to cut off the years, cut off the present, and return to the immortal era.

But he failed, because Zhou Chengwei also achieved Yuanshi in the future. Although they were Yuanshis of the same level and took different paths, neither could do anything to the other.

As long as Zhou Cheng exists, he will not be able to eliminate all of this and allow the era of immortals to reappear.

"I see."

Zhou Cheng raised his eyes, looked into the past, saw the entire Immortal Era, and immediately understood the cause and effect.

"Zichuan, go ahead."

As Zhou Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and slashed.

Suddenly, the figure who was sitting in the Daojun Palace disappeared, which alarmed Yuanmu and Tianfei, as well as all the ancients in the Daojun Palace, and they all tried to find out what had happened.

At this moment, Zhou Cheng erased everything about himself in the past, contracted the timeline, and disappeared into the past. Zhou Cheng could not be seen in the entire ancient history.

“Senior Brother, you…” Jiangnan trembled slightly and looked at Zhou Cheng with some guilt.

Zhou Cheng laughed loudly: "Great Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, I am originally a foreigner. I came here to seek the Tao. Now that the Tao has been achieved, it is time for me to leave."

"I apologize for bothering you so much."

As Zhou Cheng spoke, his figure gradually faded into thin air, turning into a hazy stream of light. He disappeared from the spot, disappeared into the years, and disappeared into the entire dimension, as if he had never appeared.
