I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 549 Where it stands, there lies the Way.

"If you don't come out of seclusion soon, I'm thinking of knocking you out and going back to the ancient Heavenly Court to play with Taihuang!"

Ancestor Ziyun skipped and hopped out, looking towards the palace atop Mount Wangyu.

"Wang!"

Taihuang flew from halfway up the mountain to the palace at the summit.

"I've been waiting for you since I came down from the Celestial Realm. Let's head to the Demon Realm now. Huh?!"

Under Taihuang's watchful gaze, Jiang Chuan stepped out of the palace.

Jiang Chuan seemed no different from an ordinary person, yet he inspired a sense of awe in Jiang Chuan.

The concepts of grandeur and insignificance, the sacred and the ordinary, all these seemingly contradictory and relative ideas, are perfectly integrated in him.

It was as if the person before them was a supreme being, more magnificent than immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons, encompassing all things and covering everything.

Where it stands is the Dao, the center of all heavens and worlds, and everything!
"You've only been a Daoist Master for a short time, how did you get to this point?!"

Taihuang stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chuan with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"Still far inferior to the Immortal Ancestor." Jiang Chuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the palace, his gaze piercing through endless time and space, looking at the supreme beings who stood above all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"You've only just attained the Great Luo realm, yet you already give me the impression of being no less powerful than the Eternal Emperor, the Dragon Ancestor, or the Phoenix Mother at their peak. I believe you will definitely catch up with the Dao Lord in the future."

Taihuang hesitated for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "I have a feeling that Daojun gave you the Myriad Dao Tree not to help you achieve Dao. You...you should be careful."

Jiang Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Taihuang, transmitting his voice: "The matter between me and the Immortal Ancestor will surely have a result in the future."

Taihuang shook its head up and down.

"Junior brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Jiang Yingyue, Chu Qingyi, Jiang Qingtang, and Lu Chenling also flew to Jiang Chuan's side.

"Bingyun, in another hour, we should be able to move that Great Thousand World to the vicinity of the Myriad Flower Realm. After an hour, we will set off to Refine the Realm and Open the Heavens."

Having reached Jiang Chuan's level, he naturally couldn't hide Mu Bingyun's current whereabouts from him.

Mu Bingyun was worried that Bamboo Immortal Island would be destroyed in the battle between the Immortal Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor, so she found a vast world and moved it to the vicinity of the Heavenly Pool Immortal Land as the future location of Bamboo Immortal Island's mountain gate.

"I knew it, you're all about Sister Bingyun. You completely ignored us and just kept talking about Sister Bingyun." Chu Qingyi rolled her eyes at Jiang Chuan.

"Jiang Chuan, do the three Daos really have to retreat to Qingwei Heaven to have any chance of survival?"

Lu Chenling bit her lower lip lightly. She was different from any other cultivator in the three realms. She was the true child of Qingwei Heaven who had refined the origin of Qingwei Heaven. With the blessing of the origin of Qingwei Heaven, she was a powerhouse comparable to the Taiji Realm.

"You have to give up something to gain something. You will have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment in the future," Jiang Chuan replied.

Lu Chenling pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"The opportunity to attain enlightenment, I wonder if I will ever achieve it?" Jiang Qingtang's eyes were full of anticipation.

“You have a glimmer of hope, but after the return of Immortal Emperor Xiuyu, the chances are much greater than yours.”

Jiang Chuan wasn't trying to discourage Jiang Qingtang, but rather that Jiang Qingtang's talent was indeed inferior to that of her mother, the Immortal Emperor Xiuyu.

"My mother!"

Jiang Qingtang's face lit up with surprise: "Jiang Chuan, when will my mother return?"

"Half a century later, you will have my talisman and will be able to bring her back."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, streaks of purple immortal light drilled in from the void, transforming into a three-finger-wide purple talisman that landed in Jiang Qingtang's hand.

"No Immortal Emperor, no, now I should say, Jiang Daojun's realm is truly admirable."

Emperor Rongxian stepped out of the void and arrived in front of Wangyu Mountain.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Rong for blocking the Azure History God in the Underworld, otherwise I might not have been able to attain the Great Luo Dao." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Daoist Lord. Even without my intervention, I believe that history cannot stop you from attaining the Dao."

Emperor Rong clasped his hands and said, "In ancient times, I had already reached the stage of attaining the Great Luo Dao, but I did not dare to prove it. I wonder if I will ever attain the Great Luo Dao?"

"After the thirty-three heavens are united, there will be an opportunity for fellow Daoists to attain enlightenment."

Even though Jiang Chuan is now a Great Luo Immortal, he is not omniscient or omnipotent. Furthermore, because the future unification of the Thirty-Three Heavens involves too many powerful beings, he cannot see what the unified Thirty-Three Heavens will look like.

But he knew very well that this great battle was destined to see many great Luo Immortals perish.

With no major Luo Immortals blocking the way ahead, Emperor Rongxian, the Divine Venerable Tongyou, and others will naturally have the opportunity to attain the Great Luo Immortal realm.

"My celestial abode has fallen, and I have nowhere to go. May I become your neighbor, Daoist Lord?" Emperor Rong asked.

"I want to refine the world and open the heavens. Fellow Daoist Rong, please choose a place as your cave dwelling."

Jiang Chuan was able to achieve Dao thanks to the primordial universe of Emperor Rong. Now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to protect it.

Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, streams of chaotic energy descended from the sky, landing at his and the four women, Jiang Yingyue's feet. They transformed into a chaotic path, like a giant chaotic dragon soaring into the sky, carrying him and the four women into the cold, dark universe.

"Jiang Daojun is going to open up a cave dwelling!"

"I wonder if I can comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao from the Dao Lord's creation of the world?"

"What methods will the Dao Lord use to refine the world and create the heavens?"

Cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms followed closely behind Jiang Chuan, eager to witness his creation of the world.

The Great Dao of Chaos stretches across the starry sky, heading towards the edge of the universe.

“Such power!”

Yuan Ming stood on the sacred land of the human race, gazing at Jiang Chuan standing on the Chaos Great Dao, and was secretly shocked.

"No wonder Master said that miracles will always be born under the operation of the Great Dao. Jiangchuan may be the first miracle in all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe. A being who has only attained the Great Luo realm for less than a hundred years already possesses power comparable to my master." Fu Liyang stepped out from the void behind Yuan Ming.

"Those who came before may not necessarily be better than those who came after. Xin Sheng can do it, and so can I! He might really be able to replace Xin Sheng."

Yuan Ming recalled the scene in the Hall of Saints and murmured to himself.

"Whether he can replace the Heart Saint, I don't know, but Master said that he obtained too much fortune from the Azure Emperor in order to achieve enlightenment. This fortune, this karma, will become the cage that buries him." Fu Liyang's voice was laced with murderous intent.

Yuan Ming asked, "What did the Sage of War predict?"

Zheng!
Jiang Chuan traversed countless starscapes on the Chaotic Path, arriving at a region close to the changes in the universe. Before his eyes lay an endless void filled with cold planets. Just then, a nine-colored sword light descended from the sky, transforming into a fairy with an exquisite face.

It was Mu Bingyun!
"Jiang Chuan, isn't this place a bit too close to the demon realm?" Mu Bingyun asked.

To mortals, the myriad realms are nearly infinite, and even to true immortals, they are boundless. But ultimately, the myriad realms are finite.

The realms of immortals, demons, Buddhas, and monsters stand above all other realms, occupying space in the universe.

"It's better to be neighbors with Hun Tian than with a Da Luo."

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the Chaos Sea, which had been blocked from the outside world, burst its banks, and the chaotic energy, which was neither black nor white, rushed into the universe.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Before the chaotic ocean had even settled, its terrifying power caused stars to explode one after another.

Zheng!
Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and the Nine-Colored Immortal Emperor Sword in Mu Bingyun's hand fell into his hand.

“The swordsmanship of Yuanling Divine Lord is unparalleled, but my swordsmanship is not bad now either. Watch my sword strike.”

Jiang Chuan swung his sword, and nine-colored sword light rose from the Immortal Emperor Sword.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
The nine-colored sword light transformed into endless sword energy, which intertwined and crisscrossed, evolving into suns, moons, stars, sword mountains, sword seas, sword rivers, and sword lakes.

Jiang Chuan suddenly used the light of his sword to create a universe!
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
As the universe revolves around the sun, moon, and stars, countless sword energies are generated, combining and evolving into exquisite and infinitely powerful sword techniques and manuals.

"One Yuan Sword Technique, Seven Kill Sword, Thunder Cloud Sword"

Mu Bingyun looked surprised. Many of the sword techniques that Jiang Chuan's sword had evolved into were ones she recognized, but many more were sword techniques that she had never heard of or seen before.

Jiang Chuan's sword strike seemed to be the manifestation of the Way of the Sword, the source of all sword techniques in the world!

"This sword!"

"Jiang Daojun has such profound attainments in swordsmanship!"

"Just how many Great Daos did he cultivate?!"

The powerful beings of all realms were all moved the moment they saw this sword strike.

Jiang Chuan had already integrated the Heavenly Emperor's three thousand divine powers into his own Chaotic Primordial True Chapter, and had also studied half of the "Myriad Manifestations of the Profound Vault of Primordial Truth" for 60,000 years.

Although he did not fully comprehend half of the "Myriad Phenomena of the Profound Vault of Heaven and Earth," he did integrate some of its essence into his own scriptural supernatural powers, allowing them to undergo a complete transformation.

When the Primordial Dao Sword strikes out now, it is as if a divine sword born from the true Dao of Swords has manifested, ready to cleave through the vast universe, past and future, and all things, both tangible and intangible.

Boom! ! !

Jiang Chuan cleaved the chaotic void, where black and white were indistinguishable, with his sword revealing the pure and impure energies. The pure energy rose to become the heavens, while the impure energy sank to become the earth.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
Countless sword energies crisscrossed, severing the turbulent earth, wind, water, and fire, preventing the newly formed world from being destroyed by the turbulent earth, wind, water, and fire, while simultaneously merging with the world.

The sword energy seemed to contain the mysteries of creation. In the instant it merged with heaven and earth, verdant plants rose from the barren land, clear rivers rushed from the high mountains, and the sun, moon, and stars appeared, adorning this newly created world.

The breath of life emerges from this world, and life begins to take shape.

"I never imagined that Daoist Jiang would actually create a sword universe!"

"This dojo is practically the embodiment of swordsmanship!"

"This universe contains all sword techniques and sword skills from ancient times to the present, and every life born within it is a born sword cultivator!"

The powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms, witnessing this scene, were all abuzz with discussion.

Creating a new universe is something any great Luo could do.

But for someone like Jiang Chuan to directly cleave the heavens with a single sword strike and create a sword universe is not something that can be easily accomplished.

"It seems that Jiang Daojun has already comprehended part of the essence of the 'Myriad Phenomena of the Profound Vault of Heaven and Earth'."

Master Yu Luo sat cross-legged in the Outer Heaven, gazing at the universe that Jiang Chuan had created.

"Sword techniques, knife techniques, demonic arts, and immortal arts are all part of the way of magic. If he is a piece of trash who can't even comprehend a part of the essence, then I will personally kill him now and take back the 'Myriad Manifestations of the Primordial Chaos True Treasury'."

Taiyi Daojun remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about Jiang Chuan's sword strike, which could be considered a testament to his Dao as a Great Luo Immortal.

His gaze pierced through the void and fell upon the underworld, where a beautiful figure flew out.

"The Azure Emperor is moving very quickly. It seems that He is preparing to squeeze every last bit of value out of Jiangchuan before making his move."

"Senior brother, junior sister's cultivation is shallow. What does the Azure Emperor want to do?" Jade Fall True Person asked.

"I don't understand why the Azure Emperor did this either, but I have an idea."

Taiyi Daojun paused, then continued, "You're saying that the Azure Emperor never intended to resurrect the Heavenly Emperor from the very beginning?"

"Never thought about resurrecting the Heavenly Emperor?"

Master Yu Luo frowned slightly: "Then what was the purpose of His creation of the Supreme Divine Art that transcends endless cycles of reincarnation and the tribulations of life and death?"

Have you ever heard the saying, "Three men can make a tiger"?

Taiyi Daojun's gaze deepened: "Some things, if said falsely enough, become the truth. At least in other people's eyes, they are true."

"If the creation of the 'Supreme Divine Art that Transcends Endless Cycles of Life and Death Tribulations' is a lie, and the Azure Emperor did not intend to resurrect the Heavenly Emperor, then what was His purpose?" Jade Fall True Man inquired.

"go with!"

Jiang Chuan raised his hand, and the Nine-Colored Immortal Emperor Sword in his hand transformed into a beam of nine-colored immortal light, merging into the world he had just created.

"After being nurtured and tempered by the origin of this world for a period of time, this sword, although unable to evolve into a true innate spiritual treasure, is still the top-tier among semi-spiritual treasures."

"Jiang Chuan, when will you refine my original body into an innate spiritual treasure?" the rabbit asked.

"Another 60 years."

Jiang Chuan has spent the last 60 years comprehending half of the "Mysterious Vault of All Things Hunyuan True Treasury".

"The Myriad Phenomena of the Profound Vault of Heaven" is a method of transforming nothingness into existence, using the Three Thousand Great Daos to evolve all the divine methods and techniques of the heavens.

The "Primordial Chaos True Chapter" uses the concept of nothingness to create existence, evolving into all things in the universe.

Through 60,000 years of comprehension, his cultivation has advanced further, and he has also comprehended a part of the mystery of the Dao of Transforming Existence into Nothingness, which he has integrated into the Blade of the Azure Sky. However, he has not yet attained the Great Luo Dao through the Dao of Nothingness.

"Then let's wait another 60 years before going to the Demon Realm to find the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal."

Ancestor Ziyun kept looking at the universe that Jiang Chuan had created. His gaze soon fell on the highest divine mountain in the universe: "This mountain is not bad. I will choose this place as my cat's den."

"Woof! I think this place would be perfect as my palace!"

Taihuang took the lead and charged into it.

“The highest sacred mountain must be reserved for Jiangchuan as a sacred site. You two can build your cat and dog kennels somewhere else.” Mu Bingyun reached out and grabbed a cat and a dog.

While struggling, Ancestor Ziyun said, "I have no objection to Jiang Chuan using my cat house as a training ground."

Jiang Chuan felt somewhat helpless.

How could Jiang, a dignified Grand Luo Immortal, possibly use a cat's den as his Daoist temple?
"Jiang Daojun, you've been spoiling this damn cat way too much. If you ask me, you should beat this damn cat to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor, with a smile on his face, stepped out from the void.

"If the Azure Emperor has anything to say, he can simply tell me. Why bother Fellow Daoist Qiu Shui?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the Autumn Water Immortal Emperor took out a letter.

"I'm here to deliver a message, not on behalf of my master."

"Not on behalf of the Green Emperor"

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly as he reached out and took the letter.
