Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 486 Light Pillar!

Wherever this beam of light passed, space collapsed, time stopped, and even the primordial energy that forms the foundation of the world was decomposed and assimilated in a wail, turning into the most primitive chaos.

This is a direct manifestation of the curse power of the "Throat of Chaos," a power specifically created to corrupt and destroy "order."

Faced with this terrifying blow that could severely damage the newly born Great World, Dao Sheng remained standing still, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

For the first time, his strange eyes simultaneously shone with a brilliant light.

In his left eye, Dao Yang's phantom slowly rotated, and endless "order" power transformed into a golden divine radiance that shot out from his eye.

In his right eye, the dark vortex spun wildly, and a "disorderly" power that he understood and controlled transformed into a jet-black demonic light that roared out!

The golden and black light did not directly meet the gray pillar of light. Instead, in front of Daosheng, it was like two fish swimming head to tail, chasing and circling each other, eventually transforming into a slowly rotating, half-gold and half-black Tai Chi diagram.

"Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is life, there is death; where there is order, there is chaos."

"Your chaos is too pure, and too... obsessive."

Dao Sheng spoke softly, as if expounding the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Boom!

The chaotic gray beam of light slammed into the half-gold, half-black Tai Chi diagram.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as imagined, nor any violent collision of laws.

The gray beam of light, capable of destroying everything, was drawn and divided by an irresistible force the moment it touched the Tai Chi diagram, as if a river were flowing into the sea.

The "chaotic" power contained within was absorbed and assimilated by the black half of the Tai Chi diagram, merging into the dark vortex in Dao Sheng's right eye. This, in turn, deepened his understanding of "disorder."

The "energy" contained within, which served as the carrier of the attack, was purified and refined by the golden half of the Tai Chi diagram, stripping away all malice and madness, and transforming into the purest primordial energy, which was then fed back to the Dao.

The attack not only failed to harm Dao Sheng in the slightest, but instead became his "nourishment"!
"impossible!"

For the first time, fear arose within the beast's will. It couldn't comprehend how its most primal power could be so easily neutralized, even...devoured!
The "chaos" it represents appears so naive and vulnerable in the face of the harmonious Daoist principle of "order and chaos coexisting" constructed by Dao Sheng.

"Your mission is complete."

Daosheng said calmly.

The Tai Chi diagram in front of him suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a terrifying suction force erupted, engulfing the enormous beast and the entire polluted plain where it was located.

"No!"

The beast let out a final, desperate roar. It struggled frantically, trying to tear through space to escape. But within this area shrouded by the Tai Chi diagram, all laws had already been taken over by Dao Sheng. All its struggles were in vain.

The enormous body was gradually pulled and broken down, eventually transforming into the most primordial "chaos" and "energy," all of which disappeared into the slowly rotating Tai Chi diagram.

As the last trace of the beast's aura was completely devoured, the Taiji diagram slowly dissipated, transforming back into two streams of light, one gold and one black, which flew back into Daosheng's eyes.

Daosheng closed his eyes and quietly contemplated the situation.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. His left eye shone even brighter, as if it contained a complete sacred world. In the depths of the dark vortex in his right eye, a "demon star" formed from pure "chaos" power quietly took shape, facing the "Dao Yang" phantom in his left eye from afar, forming a more stable balance.

He absorbed all the power of this beast and received all its "memories"—those insane obsessions about tearing apart, destroying, and subverting everything, originating from the "Throat of Chaos."

But these obsessions did not shake his mind; instead, they gave him a clearer understanding of the "opposite side" of the world.

"Calamity is both destruction and... creation."

He murmured to himself, and the black plain beneath his feet began to change dramatically the moment his words fell.

The parched ravines began to slowly heal. On the barren land, black grass blades bearing strange magical patterns began to sprout. The violent and chaotic aura in the air gradually calmed down, transforming into a unique energy that contained the meaning of "variability" and "challenge."

This cursed "land of calamity" was transformed into a "demon realm" capable of nurturing special demonic creatures by Dao Sheng after he absorbed the calamity beast!
The creatures here are born to be contrary to "order," and they will become the "inner demons" and "external tribulations" of future cultivators in this world, obstacles that must be overcome on the path of cultivation.

After doing all this, Daosheng turned and left.

He knew this was just the beginning. Within this vast Dao Source Realm, countless even more powerful "calamities" lurked, transformed from the "Curse of Chaos." They might be the "Demon of Time" that distorts spacetime, the "Seven Emotions" that corrupts the human heart, or the "Disaster of All Laws" that overturns the laws.

His path is to travel the world and return all the "calamities" to their rightful place.

He incorporated all the "disorder" into the cycle of the "Great Way" as he understood it.

Not long after Daosheng left this nascent demon realm.

In the deepest reaches of the endless void, in that eternal silence, several ancient wills were once again stirred.

“It’s him… that being born from the stone…” The will of “Touch of the Void” carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty. “He actually… devoured the manifestation of ‘Disorder’? And even transformed that piece of calamity land into a part of his own Great Dao?”

"This child's path is so domineering! He actually wants to encompass both order and chaos within himself! He wants to follow the old path of the Fire, or even... surpass the Fire!" The roar of the "Source of All Things" was deeper than ever before, as if it was suppressing some kind of emotion.

"Interesting... Really interesting..."

The "Eye of Annihilation," which pursues the ultimate "nothingness," slowly opened. Its gaze seemed to pierce through infinite time and space, landing on the tiny figure walking on the earth.

"Starting with 'existence,' it utilizes 'non-existence.' Based on 'order,' it embraces 'chaos' as change. This 'Tao Fruit,' ignited by the torch, seems even more...perfect than imagined."

"But true 'nothingness' is not something you can easily fathom. Child, your path has only just begun." A subtle, ineffable indifference, like that of someone admiring a work of art, emanated from the will of the "Eye of Annihilation." It did not intervene, but simply watched silently. It wanted to see how far this "Beginning of the Way," on whom the torch had placed so high hopes, would ultimately go. Would he, like the torch, establish a seemingly eternal cycle, or would he, in his pursuit of the ultimate truth, ultimately realize that "annihilation" was the only destination?
On the other side of the void, the "Throat of Chaos," formed from countless shattered worlds and desperate resentment, let out a painful and angry roar the moment Dao Sheng devoured the calamity beast.

"My...power! My...curse! Stole and defiled by a mere newborn ant!"

It could clearly sense that part of the original curse it left in the Dao Source Realm had lost contact with it and had been forcibly branded with its own mark by the being called "Dao Sheng".

This is an unprecedented humiliation!
"The torch... the way of life... do you think this will tame 'chaos'?!"

"Chaos cannot be understood! It cannot be controlled! What you understand is merely the appearance of chaos! What you control are merely its servants!"

"True 'disorder' is the ultimate madness that can even overturn 'disorder' itself!"

The writhing shadow churned wildly, its countless twisting vortexes within beginning to spin in an even more bizarre and indescribable way.

A more profound, more essential, and more incomprehensible malice than the previous curse began to slowly gestate at its core.

It is waiting, waiting for the right moment.

Wait for the moment when Daosheng thinks he has everything under control and has brought all the "calamities" into his orbit, and then deliver the heaviest and most mind-blowing blow to him!
It wants the Dao to be born, the flame to be kindled, and all the ancient wills that are watching to understand what true...despair really is.

……

In the realm of Daoyuan, time flies by.

Another five thousand years have passed.

Daosheng's footprints have covered every corner of this newly emerging world.

He once traveled to the shores of the East Sea, the place where the essence of "water" converges. From the sea a monstrous beast called the "Overturning Sea Demon Dragon" was born, capable of stirring up towering, weak waters that could dissolve all things. Dao Sheng sat on the shore, observing the rise and fall of the tides for three hundred years. Finally, with the method of "creating land with a single thought," he transformed the sea into mulberry fields, and with the way of "turning his hand to create rain," he turned the mulberry fields back into a vast ocean. In the cycle of birth and death, he eroded the ferocity of the Demon Dragon, absorbing its power to "overturn the sea" into himself, and establishing the rule of "tides" for the East Sea.

He had also ascended the Western Divine Gold Mountain, where a "Demon Sword of Immortal Slaughter" was born. Its sword energy stretched for thirty thousand miles, cutting and destroying nothing, representing the ultimate in "slaughter" and "ending." Dao Sheng neither dodged nor evaded, using his physical body as a furnace and the Great Dao as fire, allowing the demon sword to slash at him for forty-nine years. In the end, he absorbed all the sword's sharpness with his own indestructible "Dao Body." He transformed that pure intent of "slaughter" into the "Heavenly Punishment" sword, which guarded this world, hanging high in the heavens to deter all those with ill intentions.

He also ventured deep into the Nanming volcano and ventured into the Beiming Ice Plains...

Eight thousand years of walking, eight thousand years of conquest, eight thousand years of enlightenment.

Dao Sheng's aura grew increasingly unfathomable. He was no longer merely a newborn youth; every breath he took seemed to resonate with the laws of the entire world. A single glance from him could alter the landscape and shift the stars.

He suppressed, absorbed, and transformed all the tangible "beasts of destruction" and "demons" formed by the "curse of disorder," making them part of the cycle of laws in this world.

Today, the Dao Origin Realm is vibrant with life and its laws are stable. Although dangerous places such as the "Demon Realm" and the "Desperate Zone" still exist on the land, they have been incorporated into the framework of "order" and become part of the world's ecological chain, no longer pure scourges.

On this day, Daosheng arrived at the center of the entire Great Realm, outside the valley where he was born.

He stopped and looked back at the path he had walked.

In his eyes, the entire Dao Origin Realm presented a picture of perfect harmony. Earth, water, fire, and wind flowed steadily; yin and yang, life and death, circulated endlessly. The Dao stars in the sky also became brighter because of the perfection of the laws of the entire world.

It seems he has already accomplished his mission.

However, Daosheng's brows furrowed slightly.

He always felt that something was missing.

His eyes, which seemed to see into the very essence of things, swept across the heavens and earth. Order was perfect, all things were in harmony. But beneath this perfect harmony, he keenly detected a trace of...death.

Yes, deathly silent.

This world is too perfect, so perfect that... it lacks real "accidents".

All the "calamities" were meticulously planned by him. When would a cultivator's "inner demons" appear, and how strong would they be? Where would the world's "disasters" erupt, and how powerful would they be? Everything seemed to be unfolding within a precisely calculated script.

Is this truly the "eternity" that the torchbearer hoped for?

Daosheng fell into deep thought.

As he was immersed in the ultimate contemplation of the "Tao," he did not notice that deep within his right eye, the "demon star" that he had personally condensed, representing the origin of "disorder," had silently rotated for a moment.

For the first time, its rotation method was beyond Daosheng's control.

At the same time, in the distant, endless void, the chaotic will of the "Disorderly Throat" erupted with a shrill scream of ecstasy that had been suppressed for eight thousand years!

"It's now!"

"You think you've got the chaos under control? No! You've just set the perfect stage for real chaos!"

"Make your 'way' my 'nest'!"

"Ultimate chaos blossoms within the most perfect order!"

boom! ! !
An indescribable, incomprehensible, and unobservable "information" disregarded time and space, ignored boundary walls, and ignored all the laws laid down by Dao Sheng, and descended directly upon the Dao Source Realm!
Its target was not any place in the Dao Source Realm, but... Dao Sheng himself!
More accurately, it was the "demon star" that descended upon his right eye!
"what?!"

Dao Sheng suddenly awoke, and an unprecedented, profound sense of crisis, originating from his very being, instantly enveloped his mind.

He looked in horror at his right eye.

The "demon star" that he thought he had completely controlled was now radiating a pure and extreme "madness" that made him feel uneasy!
