I am devoted to the Tao
Chapter 514 The world is like a sea of suffering, all beings are drowning in it, unable to escape.
Chapter 514 The world is like a sea of suffering, all beings are drowning in it, unable to escape.
“It’s Yueyan from Shuiyue Nunnery. She said that her master, the Bodhisattva Baoyu Miaoshan, appeared to her in a dream and told her to go to Palace Master Fang and have him give Jingyang five words.”
No sooner had Elder Jingzhen finished speaking than a voice came from the Langhuan Library.
Which five words?
"Jiang Chuan, you've emerged from seclusion?" Ancestor Ziyun exclaimed in delight.
Elder Jingzhen's expression was solemn as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "The River of Time is in danger!"
"Time is a dangerous river"
Jiang Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly. In his mind, the Azure Emperor once again told him that before leaving the Ancient Heavenly Court, he should release the Azure History God.
"Miaoshan reminded me that it's probably because of the Tathagata Buddha, and with the words of the Azure Emperor, it's certain that as long as I leave the ancient times, I will inevitably encounter danger. But where will this danger come from? Hun Tian? Or the Tai An Immortal Emperor? Or perhaps the disciples of the Twin Saints?"
"Woof! The River of Time is in danger!"
Taihuang's expression turned grave: "This is not good news, Jiang Chuan, what do we do now?"
"It doesn't matter. If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth."
Jiang Chuan remained calm: "I haven't exhausted the Heavenly Emperor's three thousand divine powers yet. After I go into seclusion for a while, I should be able to take another step forward."
"I actually think that even if you take another step, it won't be enough."
Taihuang said worriedly, "You used to devour the sun and moon of countless worlds and sweep across countless ages. If a powerful being really wants to deal with you, they will definitely be prepared to confront you at your strongest!"
"Devouring the sun and moon of all heavens and myriad worlds!"
Elder Jingzhen was utterly horrified: "Jingyang! You've gone mad! Devouring the sun and moon of all realms, what's the difference between that and destroying all realms?!"
"This is just one of the future timelines; the past is fixed, but the future is uncertain."
Jiang Chuan explained, "With me here, it's impossible for such a future to actually come to pass."
"Phew! It was one of the futures! You scared me to death! I thought you'd really gone crazy, Jingyang!"
Elder Jingzhen let out a long sigh of relief: "However, you just said you could sweep across countless ages and spaces. Are you really that strong?"
Taihuang shook his head up and down: "In terms of realm alone, Jiang Chuan is already very close to the Great Luo realm, close enough that he should be able to trigger the Great Luo Dao Tribulation. However, he cannot truly devour the sun and moon of all realms and walk that path that is certain death."
"It can even trigger the Great Luo Dao Attainment Tribulation!"
Elder Jingzhen was overwhelmed with emotion. He knew Jiang Chuan was strong before, but as a mere Immortal King, he didn't really have a concept of just how strong Jiang Chuan was.
All cultivators who have attained immortality know what it means to trigger the tribulation of immortality!
Those who cross this path will become true immortals!
And across the river is Da Luo!
"The Great Luo Tribulation is not easy to overcome, otherwise Fellow Daoist Yuan Heng would not have perished in his previous life as the Primordial Daoist."
Jiang Chuan knew very well that among all the heavens and myriad worlds, there were countless cultivators who could trigger the Great Luo Dao Tribulation.
Many powerful figures, such as the Immortal Ancestor's eldest disciple, the Two Elements Daoist, his second disciple, the Candlelight Daoist, the Demon Emperor's son, Hun Tian, the Taiyi Daoist's eldest disciple, the Sky-Supporting Immortal Emperor, and the Azure Emperor's eldest disciple, the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor, could all trigger the Great Luo Dao Attainment Tribulation. However, the fundamental reason why they failed to do so was that they were not confident in their ability to overcome the tribulation.
"However, now that we've come this far, do you really think you can resist undergoing this tribulation?" Elder Jingzhen knew very well that at this point, no one could truly resist the urge to face the tribulation.
"I will undergo the Great Luo Dao Attainment Tribulation, but not now."
As Jiang Chuan spoke, the Primordial Chaos True Chapter was activated once more, and he absorbed two thousand six hundred Great Daos, including the Dao of Nothingness, the Dao of Metal, the Dao of Water, and the Dao of Destruction, and poured them into his dantian.
Rumble!
Chaos energy emerged from nothingness, and then earth, wind, water, and fire surged forth from it, constantly in turmoil.
A dark, nascent universe slowly emerged.
Two thousand six hundred kinds of Great Dao power were poured into it, and the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and plains gradually evolved.
While evolving the real universe using the Primordial Chaos True Chapter, Jiang Chuan's mind and spirit merged with heaven and earth, comprehending the difference between his evolved universe and the real universe.
One supernatural power after another was continuously integrated into the Primordial Chaos True Chapter.
2,610 doors
2,611 doors
2,612 doors
Half a century later, Jiang Chuan emerged from seclusion once again, but this time it was not Elder Jingzhen who interrupted his seclusion, but Yun Yao's purple-clad maid.
"Immortal Emperor, this is the Myriad Wonders Pill of All Spirits that the Princess ordered us to refine."
A maid in purple robes stood in front of the Langhuan Library, carrying a tray.
On the tray was a one-foot-tall crystal bottle, which seemed to be carved from crystal. The bottle was crystal clear and sparkled with seven colors under the sunlight.
A pill the size of a longan floated in a crystal bottle. The pill was entirely golden, and a rich medicinal power emanated from it, slowly forming a golden continent.
The mountains and oceans of the continent are all golden, and the whole world seems to be cast in gold, shining and dazzling.
The world is full of miraculous herbs and medicinal plants such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, jade tree, and magnolia.
"The medicinal power has evolved the world; such a pill is considered top-grade even among Immortal Emperor pills. Please thank Yun Yao for me."
Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and the crystal bottle tray flew towards him.
"I will convey Emperor Wuxian's words to Your Highness."
The purple-clad maid changed the subject: "Although you defeated the Eldest Princess, as the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, she is the one with the best chance of attaining the Great Luo realm. You only won by a single move. Only by attaining the Great Luo realm can one become a true powerhouse!"
After speaking, the purple-clad maid turned and flew away.
"What did she mean by that?" Ancestor Ziyun blinked, his voice full of doubt.
"Help Yun Yao save face? But is that necessary?" Rabbit was also very puzzled.
"A petty woman will remain petty even if she becomes an Immortal Emperor."
Jiang Chuan didn't care. He knew very well why the purple-clad maid had said those words. Given his status, he wouldn't stoop to the level of arguing with a maid.
Upon opening the crystal bottle, a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately gushed out, as if all the spiritual herbs in the world had ripened together. The incredibly rich fragrance made Jiang Chuan almost want to cover his nose.
"How many spiritual herbs did Yun Yao use when she refined the pill?" Filled with curiosity, Jiang Chuan swallowed the golden pill.
The golden pill melted upon entering the mouth, turning into golden liquid that flowed down the twelve-story building, heading towards the wound pierced by Yun Yao's transformed Other Shore Arrow.
After the juice enveloped the Dao wound, the power of the Dao of Alchemy surged forth, and Jiang Chuan could clearly sense that his injuries were beginning to heal.
"With one burst of energy, heal the Dao injury!"
As soon as Jiang Chuan had a thought, the heavens and earth responded, and countless Dao principles manifested. The Dao principles descended from the sky like countless feathers of light, enveloping Jiang Chuan's body and carrying the power of the Dao. They entered his body and, together with the power of the Myriad Wonders Pill, gradually eliminated the Dao injuries on his body.
The great principles and laws of many Buddhist cultivators, such as the Buddha of the Three Platforms and the Buddha of Fighting Immortals, were being eroded by Jiang Chuan at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Two years later, most of the Dao wounds left on Jiang Chuan by the Other Shore Arrow had been healed, leaving only the Dao principles of the last cultivator.
Sensing an aura that seemed to descend from the universe, Jiang Chuan pondered to himself: "The Other Shore Arrow evolved by Yun Yao only contains the Great Dao of the future Star King Buddha Ancestor. It has such power even though it only contains the Great Dao of one of the three Great Luos of Buddhism. How terrifying must the real Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow be?"
Rumble!
Seemingly aware of its own destiny, the Great Dao of the Future Star King Buddha seemed to come alive, drawing upon the power of time and space to resist the power of the medicine and the power of the river.
"Even the incomplete Great Dao is so extraordinary. It's a pity I couldn't truly fight against the future Star King Buddha!" With regret, Jiang Chuan used the Chaotic Primordial True Chapter to continue refining his Dao injury.
Two completely different Dao powers collided within Jiang Chuan's body, like heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, resulting in a fierce clash.
In a daze, Jiang Chuan saw the figure of the future Star King Buddha.
As the future Star King Buddha walked through the starry sky, he looked at the farmers who had no harvest, the exploited workers, and the nobles who took pleasure in killing civilians, and his expression became sorrowful.
"The world is like a sea of suffering, and all beings are drowning in it, unable to escape. I will create a world on the other shore to ferry all beings away from this sea of suffering!"
"Is this the scene where the future Star King Buddha Master wanted to create the other world?"
Jiang Chuan knew very well that the scene before him was the same scene that had happened in the past.
The Tao is the heart and the will; it is a summary of a peerless genius's life.
The clash of the Great Daos is not only a collision of Dao principles and Dao rhythms, but also a battle of minds.
Then, one image after another appeared in Jiang Chuan's mind.
Some of these scenes depict people preaching to sentient beings, others healing the poor, and still others walking on the river of time. As Jiang Chuan's Great Dao clashed with the Future Star King Buddha, many of the Future Star King Buddha's views on the universe also surfaced in his mind.
When the Great Dao of the Future Star King Buddha was completely eliminated, the roaring sound emanating from Jiang Chuan's body not only did not stop, but became even louder.
Jiang Chuan seemed to be creating the world, with divine might as vast as the sea surging from his body. Countless laws and the power of the Great Dao descended from the sky, enveloping his body and tempering his physical body and primordial spirit.
As time went by, Jiang Chuan's physical body and primordial spirit became increasingly powerful.
Sixty years later, the power of the Great Dao dissipated, and Jiang Chuan reappeared before the cats, dogs, and rabbits.
"Wang!"
Taihuang sensed Jiang Chuan's aura and exclaimed in surprise and doubt: "Jiang Chuan, are you about to attain enlightenment?!"
In his perception, Jiang Chuan seemed to be formed from the essence of all things and spirits, and he seemed to be the all-encompassing, supreme Heavenly Dao.
As the saying goes, "He who travels a hundred li is only halfway there at ninety."
Jiang Chuan replied, "I have only integrated 2,700 Heavenly Emperor Divine Powers into my Dao Fruit by comprehending a portion of the essence of the Great Dao of the Future Star Venerable King Buddha Ancestor. I still need the last 300 to prove my Dao. Moreover, even if I were to integrate these 300, I would still need to reclaim the Innate Dao Palace from the Nine Extreme Thunder Emperor if I wanted to truly create a universe."
Although he has evolved the universe more than once, those were all just phantoms formed by supernatural scriptures.
The power of the Great Dao absorbed by the two thousand seven hundred supernatural abilities is far inferior to that of an Immortal Emperor, let alone a True Immortal. Otherwise, Jiang Chuan could have swept across all the heavens and myriad realms long ago. If he wanted to create the world and attain the Great Luo Dao through the transformation of nothingness into existence, he would need the three thousand Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits in the Innate Dao Palace.
"With your current level of cultivation, if you can truly reclaim the Innate Dao Palace, you would be virtually invincible below the Great Luo realm!"
The rabbit sighed, "Do you think the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor might be one of the cultivators who wants to kill you this time?"
"I hope so."
As Jiang Chuan spoke, he got up and walked out of the Langhuan Library.
He raised his eyelids, his gaze seemingly piercing through eternity, looking towards the boundless, endless river of time.
"If he really is the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor, then I truly have a chance to attain enlightenment."
Shrink to an inch!
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he took a step forward with the cat, dog, and rabbit, and once again arrived in front of the Cloud Heaven Palace.
Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, the guards bowed respectfully and informed him that the Princess was in seclusion and that if Jiang Chuan wished to see her, he should return in sixty years.
"Please give the token to Yun Yao for me, and also thank her for me."
After handing the token to the guard, Jiang Chuan took another step forward.
Shrink to an inch!
Jiang Chuan pierced through the void and arrived at the thirtieth heaven, Yu Yu Heaven.
The chaotic-colored wooden box flew out of the Qiankun Bag and landed in Jiang Chuan's palm.
hum!hum!hum!
As Jiang Chuan activated it, thirty-three colors of divine light bloomed, and the wooden box lid slowly slid open.
Chi!
The Azure History God transformed into a beam of divine light and flew out of the wooden box.
After surveying the surroundings, the Azure History God Venerable exclaimed in surprise, "Immortal Emperor Wu, you actually dare to return to the Ancient Heavenly Court!"
“With my level of skill, where can’t I go?” Jiang Chuan laughed.
The Celestial Emperor asked, "Why did you release me?"
"You should ask the Azure Emperor about that. If the Azure Emperor hadn't made me repay my karmic debts to release you, do you think I would have let you go?"
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he took another step and left the Heavenly Court with the cat, dog, and rabbit.
"Qing Emperor."
The Azure Emperor frowned deeply: "Why did the Azure Emperor rescue me from this predicament?"
Rumble!
The river of time is boundless, without beginning or end.
Jiang Chuan, accompanied by cats, dogs, and rabbits, traveled upstream along the river of time.
Ancestor Ziyun reminded him, "Jiang Chuan, have we forgotten about Jingzhen?"
"That bald man named Jingzhen, if he's not the Azure Emperor, he's a pawn of some other Great Luo Immortal. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated the Path of Truth?"
Before Jiang Chuan could speak, Tai Huang's voice rang out.
"If he stays in the ancient times, he will most likely become an Immortal Emperor, and there is even a slight chance that he will become a Great Luo Immortal. This is much better than returning to the future with us."
"That bastard Jingzhen, he absolutely mustn't attain the Great Luo Dao. Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble!" Ancestor Ziyun cursed.
“Something’s not right,” the rabbit said solemnly.
Looking out into the distance, behind the stone tablet marking the boundary between ancient and medieval times, a thick fog appeared out of nowhere.
The fog was not white, but a hazy gray, as if it were the embodiment of death, devouring all life, obscuring the boundless and endless river of time.
"Even the river of time is obscured, could this be an array created by some Great Luo Immortal?!" Taihuang's expression was solemn.
"The Netherworld Reincarnation and Rebirth Grand Array! An array created by the Netherworld Emperor." Jiang Chuan's eyes shone brightly.
Ancestor Ziyun roared, "It was created by the Underworld Emperor! You just released the Azure History God, and the Underworld Emperor's subordinates actually repaid kindness with enmity. They are truly despicable!"
"The formations used by the Underworld Emperor may not necessarily belong to his subordinates. Since you fellow Daoists wish to kill me, why hide yourselves and not show yourselves?!"
Jiang Chuan let out a long roar that shook the river of time.
