I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 513 If I say you are, then you are, and even if you aren't, you still are.
Rumble!
Before Jiang Chuan's palm strike landed, the River of Time appeared, and the void and the sea trembled.

Princess Yun Yao's expression changed slightly.

The moment the forces of space and time combined, space and time came to a standstill.

When the Path of Origin operates, in a fraction of a second, the static spacetime is annihilated.

Although Jiang Chuan is strong, his Dao of Time and Space is only at the ninth level of the thirteenth realm. It is impossible for him to imprison Yun Yao, who has the potential to become a Great Luo Immortal.

But for Jiang Chuan, even a fraction of a second was enough!

For people like Jiang Chuan and Yun Yao, even a fraction of a second, let alone a hundredth of a second, would be more than enough!
Chi!
In the instant that time and space froze, Yun Yao did not hesitate and shot an arrow directly.

The sound of chanting arose from the void, as if all the Buddhas in the Buddhist realm were chanting scriptures together. The grandeur of the sound was simply unbelievable.

In this arrow, Jiang Chuan sensed the aura of Dou Xian Buddha, Santai Buddha, and even the future Star King Buddha. It was as if this was not just an arrow, but an attack launched by all Buddhas throughout history.

Boom! ! !

It was like the mournful cry of the world's origin before the collapse of the heavens, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The aftershocks resembled hundreds of thousands of galaxies rolling down from above, directly blasting through the Cloud Palace. The divine power swept across the thirty-three heavens, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Such power! It's comparable to the Great Luo Immortal making a move!"

"Who will win the battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Eldest Princess?"

"Even the aftershocks are so terrifying, the Immortal Emperor and the Eldest Princess are probably not far from attaining the Great Luo Dao!"

Rumble!
The towering Cloud Palace swayed incessantly, cracks constantly appearing, as if it would collapse at any moment. Yet, the Cloud Palace stood like a pillar supporting the sky; though it trembled and shook, it did not completely collapse and turn to ashes.

"Woof! Who won?"

After the aftershocks subsided, Taihuang looked curiously in the direction where Jiang Chuan and Yun Yao were.

Under his gaze, crimson blood flowed down Jiang Chuan's shoulder.

The flesh on his right hand had disappeared at some point, turning into crimson-gold bones.

"After piercing Jiang Chuan's Azure Blade, the arrow also pierced his flesh!"

Taihuang gasped in astonishment: "The power of Yun Yao's Bitter Sea Bow and Other Shore Arrow is truly immense! Jiang Chuan probably never dreamed he would be defeated by his own spiritual treasures!"

"No, it was Sister Yunyao who lost."

Princess Yuli glanced at Taihuang and slowly spoke.

"How could Yun Yao have lost?"

Taihuang looked surprised: "She was clearly not injured. It was Jiang Chuan who was injured."

"Sister Yun Yao was not injured, simply because the Immortal Emperor's attack struck her hairpin."

After Princess Yuli reminded him, Taihuang noticed that the phoenix on the head of Yunyao's five-colored phoenix hairpin had disappeared at some point.

Yun Yao raised her hand and pulled out her hairpin. Looking at the hairpin that was only half left, she smiled. Her face was already extremely beautiful, but now, with her smile, she was even more breathtaking.

"Jiang Chuan, you are truly amazing! The title of the Heavenly Court's Number One Prodigy is yours!"

"You flatter me, Princess."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, the wounds on his body gradually began to heal.

"I have not surpassed the Azure History God and the Glory Immortal Emperor, so I am not worthy of this title."

"If I say you are, then you are, and if you aren't, then you are too."

Yun Yao's voice was calm, but there was an undeniable domineering air about it. Yet, when she spoke, it was as ordinary as flowers blooming and fading.

Because she is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor!

"Jiang Chuan, this woman is really domineering."

Ancestor Ziyun clearly disliked Yun Yao: "She was just yelling at me. You should find a chance to beat her to death, otherwise, given her personality, she will definitely come after me in the future."

"I'm not only going to teach you a lesson, I'm going to teach you a lesson day and night!"

Yun Yao narrowed her eyes, her disgust practically written all over her face.

"Once I find the Bitter Sea Bow, I'll be the first to shoot you, you wicked woman!" Old Ancestor Ziyun retorted defiantly.

"Don't leave Shanggu!" Yun Yao said through gritted teeth.

"Ancestor, please say less."

Jiang Chuan was in a real bind; he wasn't truly invincible.

Even if we disregard the Five Emperors who are still alive, and consider the phantoms of history formed from the Daoist essence of the Heavenly Emperor, he is no match for them.

Putting aside whether he could actually kill her, even if he could, he certainly wouldn't be able to leave the Ancient Heavenly Court alive.

"Humph!"

Yun Yao snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping over the purple-clad maids, golden-armored guards, and other immortals and gods who stood dumbfounded outside Yun Tian Palace.

They stared blankly at the Cloud Heaven Palace, stunned by the battle just now. They never expected that Jiang Chuan, who seemed weaker and only at the Tai Su Realm, would defeat Princess Yun Yao!
"Pass on my order: no cat shall appear within a radius of 100,000 li from now on."

Upon hearing Yun Yao's voice, the purple-clad maids and other immortals seemed to awaken from a dream and responded in unison.

Yun Yao then took out a golden token, about the size of a palm, made of the Mother Gold of All Things, with the two Daoist characters "Lang Huan" engraved on its surface.

The two characters "Langhuan" are written with strong, sharp strokes, like a giant god of chaos constantly wielding a giant axe to create heaven and earth, which is awe-inspiring.

"This is the token for the Langhuan Library. With this token, you can enter the Langhuan Library and browse through the Three Thousand Divine Powers within."

As Yun Yao spoke, she handed the Langhuan Library token to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan accepted the token, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Princess."

"Although that arrow was my creation, it also contained much of the Buddha's power. I will have someone fetch medicine from my palace treasury later, and then I will start the furnace to refine elixirs to heal your wounds. Come with me."

After Yun Yao finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of Yuntian Palace.

"treasure house!"

Ancestor Ziyun's eyes lit up, and he transmitted his voice to Taihuang and the rabbit: "She is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor. Her treasure trove must be filled with mountains of treasures! Let's do a heist!"

"Don't fall for it, I suspect this woman is saying this on purpose."

As Taihuang followed, he transmitted his voice: "She wants to kill you, but Jiang Chuan is there. If you sneak into her treasure vault and she kills you, Jiang Chuan can't really say anything."

"That treacherous woman, if I find out who she was reincarnated as, I'll scratch her face and turn her into an ugly monster!" Ancestor Ziyun said hatefully.

Yun Yao suddenly stopped and turned around, her eyes shining brightly as she stared intently at Ancestor Ziyun.

Jiang Chuan felt a headache coming on and directly stuffed the Purple Cloud Ancestor into the Qi Gourd.

"The old ancestor was talking nonsense, Princess, please don't take it to heart."

"Jiang Chuan, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Yun Yao."

Yun Yao's expression softened slightly. She then led Jiang Chuan away from Yun Tian Palace, soaring through the sky to the Langhuan Library. As the Heavenly Emperor's library, the Langhuan Library could hardly be described as magnificent, or even towering.

From the outside, the entire Langhuan Library looks more like a mortal palace than a celestial library.

The wooden beams and pillars are covered with black lacquer. The yellow and black plaque is carved with the four characters "Langhuan Library". The library door is made of ancient sandalwood, and the lintel is carved with intricate cloud patterns that shimmer with a faint light.

hum!hum!hum!
Jiang Chuan activated the token in his hand, and golden light burst forth from it.

With a creak, the door to the Langhuan Library slowly opened.

Rows of tall bookshelves then came into Jiang Chuan's view.

"Da Luo!"

Filled with joy and anticipation, Jiang Chuan stepped into the Langhuan Library.

On the tall bookshelves, books about jade are neatly arranged.

The deep blue jade book, though not particularly dazzling, gives a sense of grandeur, as if the jade was formed from a vast blue sky.

Jiang Chuan saw many supernatural powers, such as Qi Refining Technique, Sun Devouring Technique, One Qi Dao Sword, and Dark Wings.

Jiang Chuan picked up a book bearing the five large characters "Breaking Through the Void and Destroying the Realm" and immediately reacted.

This scripture evolved from the Dao of Destruction among the three thousand innate Daos, and it is also one of the three hundred and twenty Heavenly Emperor Divine Powers that Jiang Chuan had not obtained before.

After reviewing the Void-Breaking and Realm-Destroying Technique, Jiang Chuan then looked at the Heavenly Calamity-Destroying Dao Technique, the Divine Refining Technique, the Myriad Transformations Divine Seal, and many other Heavenly Emperor divine abilities.

Three years later, after Jiang Chuan had finished reading through the last 320 Heavenly Emperor Divine Powers, he immediately sat cross-legged and began his seclusion.

Time flies, and the Purple Cloud Ancestor lay in front of the Langhuan Library gate, idly swishing his tail.

"We've finally made it back to Heaven, are we really just going to do nothing?"

The rabbit turned its head to look at Jiang Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged between the bookshelves. At this moment, in its perception, Jiang Chuan, although in human form, had lost all human warmth. He was like a god, an immortal, a Buddha, a demon, and also like the all-encompassing supreme Heavenly Dao, majestic and incomparable.

“In recent years, Jiang Chuan’s aura has become increasingly terrifying. After this seclusion, he should be able to make further progress and may even be able to attain the Great Luo Dao. Although the probability of him being attacked in the Langhuan Library is very small, he is, after all, the most wanted criminal in the Heavenly Court. We should still prioritize protecting Jiang Chuan for now.”

Taihuang shook his head up and down: "The rabbit is right. As long as Jiang Chuan can attain the Great Luo Dao, then whatever treasures we want, won't these immortals and gods all have to obediently hand them over?"

"It's not easy to attain enlightenment."

As a majestic voice rang out, a purple-haired man emerged from the void.

The man wore a white divine robe embroidered with a dazzling starry sky.

His face bore the marks of time, showing signs of aging, yet still retaining its handsome features.

His purple eyes shone brightly, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, piercing through the cats, dogs, and rabbits before landing on Jiang Chuan.

"Woof! The Divine Lord of the Netherworld!"

Taihuang shouted, "If you want Qingwei Heaven, then go and confront Jiang Chuan openly and honestly. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out that you're taking advantage of his cultivation and enlightenment to launch a sneak attack?"

"If I wanted to seize Qingwei Heaven, I would have done so that very day."

The Venerable Tongyou lowered his eyes and looked at the cat, dog, and rabbit.

"The Eternal Emperor once said that Master died in Qingwei Heaven, but will surely rise again in Qingwei Heaven. Logically speaking, Master's true form should appear in Qingwei Heaven. However, the calamity of the unification of the two realms has passed, and he has not appeared. After some thought, I came to see the Immortal Emperor today just to verify this."

"Actually, whether the Celestial Tree is in my hands or not, you probably already know the answer in your heart since you didn't come." Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tongyou Divine Venerable.

"With the Azure Emperor around, it's theoretically impossible for the seeds of the Primordial God Clan to have been lost. When I learned that the seeds of the Azure Sky Dao Tree had been lost, I thought my master was about to return."

A look of helplessness appeared in Tongyou Divine Venerable's eyes as he sighed, "But now it seems that it's not the Azure Emperor who wants to help Master return, but rather that He is using Master's reborn form to orchestrate a plan. Yuanheng Daoist is a pawn of the Immortal Ancestor, the Eternal Demon Lord is a pawn of the Demon Lord, and although the Southern Heavenly King is a member of my Heavenly Court, he has little connection with the Azure Emperor. Therefore, if the Qiongcang Dao Tree has already been born, then it can only be in your hands!"

Jiang Chuan did not speak, but calmly looked at Tongyou God.

"I have come to see the Immortal Emperor today because I want to ask you a question. Immortal Emperor, do you know why the Azure Emperor did not help my master return, but instead hindered his return?" Tongyou God Venerable clenched his fists.

"I'm actually quite curious too." Jiang Chuan himself didn't know the reason, and in fact, he didn't understand why the Azure Emperor would secretly help him obtain the Sky Tree.

Even if he has a dating simulator, or rather, the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Emperor's Evolutionary Path, it doesn't really matter if he doesn't have the Celestial Dao Tree.

If he hadn't wanted to create something from nothing, he wouldn't have needed the Celestial Dao Tree to prove his Dao.

When the Azure Emperor secretly helped him obtain the Azure Sky Tree, he would never have imagined that he would embark on such a path.

The Divine Venerable Tongyou stared intently at Jiang Chuan, seemingly trying to determine whether what Jiang Chuan said was true or false.

After a while, the Venerable Tongyou turned around and walked into the void.

"Without becoming a Great Luo Immortal, one is ultimately just an ant. I cannot see through it, cannot understand it, and cannot change it. No Immortal Emperor, you'd better take care of yourself."

Jiang Chuan looked at the back of the Tongyou God. He couldn't see his face, but he could sense the helplessness and powerlessness in his voice.

"Take care of yourself."

Ancestor Ziyun blinked his big eyes: "Jiang Chuan, what does this guy mean?"

"Who knows?"

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

As the Primordial Chaos True Chapter circulated, Jiang Chuan absorbed and combined the power of many Great Daos with magical power, gradually evolving into a prototype of a universe.

The great paths intertwine, giving birth to and evolving the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, and all other natural phenomena.

"You little rascal, how did you learn to speak in riddles too!" Ancestor Ziyun was somewhat unhappy.

“Jiang Chuan is not speaking in riddles either. Immortal Kings can travel through time and space, and Immortal Emperors can withstand the punishment of fate and karma.”

Taihuang explained, "The existence of the Great Luo Realm is even more incomprehensible, elusive, unknowable, and unpredictable. To think about it is to be wrong, to be erroneous! Tongyou Divine Venerable thinks that the Azure Emperor has other plans, but Jiang Chuan himself is not sure."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud noises continued to emanate from the universe within Jiang Chuan's dantian. As Jiang Chuan obtained all three thousand divine abilities from the Langhuan Library, he comprehended these abilities, experienced the evolution of the universe, and the number of Heavenly Emperor divine abilities that he integrated into the Chaotic Primordial True Chapter increased.

2,550 doors

2,560 doors

2,570 doors

Sixty years later, Jiang Chuan had integrated two thousand six hundred supernatural powers into the Primordial Chaos True Chapter.

"Jingzhen, what brings you here?" Ancestor Ziyun was quite surprised to see Elder Jingzhen arrive at the Langhuan Library.

"I was cultivating the Path of Truth, and I was doing just fine when Palace Master Fang called me out of seclusion to deliver a message to Jingyang," Elder Jingzhen replied.

"What did Fang Qingting tell you to Jiang Chuan?" Rabbit asked.

Elder Jingzhen shook his head: "It wasn't Palace Master Fang. Palace Master Fang was just relaying the message on behalf of someone else."

Fang Qingting relayed this.

The rabbit was somewhat surprised: "Then who sent him to deliver the message?"
