Chapter 159 Entrusting the Great Dao
This ghostly claw mark had been following Qi Zhe for a long time, and it had been constantly stimulated to give birth to a special consciousness, which Qi Zhe had taken down and refined his body time and time again.

It could not grow at all within Qi Zhe's body, so it could be easily suppressed and was not nearly as terrifying as some people thought.

Even so, Qi Zhe was unable to expel it, because it was left behind by the evil spirit of the Holy Body, and although it was not as terrifying as the true curse of the Holy Body, it was still terrifying.

Now that Qi Zhe has activated it again, that consciousness was scattered by the power of evolution as soon as it was born, and even the ghost claw mark was shaken.

"boom!!!"

A terrifying black mist erupted from between Qi Zhe's eyebrows, spreading throughout his body and continuing to expand outwards.

This ghostly claw mark has the ability to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and its power comes from the contingency plan left by the ancient supreme beings in the myriad paths of Heaven and Earth.

Now, stirred by the power of evolution, it has begun to communicate with the terrifying power at the deepest part of the Great Dao, almost creating a horrible evil spirit.

However, the evolutionary power within Qi Zhe's body was excessively vast and boundlessly powerful, capable of even rivaling the power of curses.

At this moment, Qi Zhe also felt an astonishing change in his body. He was actually adapting to the towering black mist and could sense its unusual nature.

A towering black fog enveloped the mountain range, startling countless birds and beasts into flight, and even many demon clans thousands of miles away sensed it.

Qi Zhe, however, felt that the black mist was incredibly gentle, containing the power of the Great Dao. Although strange, it was a rare source of nourishment.

"Did this make me adapt to the curse?" Qi Zhe was extremely shocked, his words filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Qi Zhe also felt that there was an evolutionary power permeating his mind and Sendai. This power was transforming him so that he would not be corrupted by the black mist.

His consciousness was like a vast, silvery ocean flowing through his mind, where a special power was surging, creating towering waves.

He could feel his divine consciousness growing stronger little by little, showing signs of transformation, and about to reach another level.

As the black mist spread, the Great Dao of this world began to surge violently, almost within reach, and strange power was churning within it.

Qi Zhe also noticed this, opened his eyes in the black mist and saw this scene. At this moment, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was clearly visible in his eyes.

"Hidden within the Great Dao," Qi Zhe could sense that the strange power was the source of the curse, and now it was beginning to manifest itself with the changes.

The world was also undergoing strange changes due to this power. Blood rain began to fall from the sky, and footsteps began to echo in the black mist.

"Awooo!"

A mournful howl echoed through the black mist as terrifying creatures, having crossed time and space, arrived to search for the creature that would activate the curse.

But it did not find Qi Zhe. Now Qi Zhe was covered in golden hair and looked like a monster, and his aura was extremely cold.

He was like a bizarre curse itself, so much so that he blended into the eerie environment and could not be found at all.

Qi Zhe watched all this with a cold eye, not making a single move as the red-haired creatures wandering in the dark room and the ghostly soldiers passing through did not make a sound.

As the ghostly claw mark under Qi Zhe's forehead was constantly shaken, the boundless black mist gradually showed signs of dissipating, and Qi Zhe also gained something from his long-term observation.

“It’s hard to imagine how the Supreme Being managed to entrust such evil power to the Great Dao.” Qi Zhe’s expression was inscrutable.

He felt that this power was contained within the Great Dao, had been inexhaustible for hundreds of thousands of years, and had harmed generation after generation of sacred bodies; it was definitely very mysterious.

This method was truly astonishing, giving Qi Zhe many ideas, and he couldn't help but want to figure it out.

Without hesitation, Qi Zhe sat down cross-legged in the black mist, remaining unmoved by the red-haired monsters and ghost soldiers constantly roaming around him.

"The environment of heaven and earth is constantly changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the Dao. Although there are ups and downs, that is just people's perception. In fact, it has always existed." Qi Zhe had some ideas and felt that he had found a good direction. He was willing to try an unprecedented cultivation method.

As Qi Zhe's idea came to fruition, he remained seated in the black mist, beginning to gradually comprehend this technique.

In the past, the ancient supreme beings used various methods to curse the lineage of the Holy Body, imprinting them into the myriad paths of heaven and earth. These methods were so terrifying that even those who achieved the Great Accomplishment Holy Body could not escape them.

This curse has nothing to do with bloodline, but is related to the most primal power in the world, and is almost impossible to remove.

The methods by which the branding curse enters the myriad paths of heaven and earth are naturally extremely mysterious, and can be said to be the embodiment of the cultivation of many supreme beings in the underworld.

Now, Qi Zhe is trying to comprehend these things on his own. Even with his amazing comprehension, he can only grasp a tiny bit of the surface. But even so, it is still amazing enough.

Without anyone guiding him to cultivate this method, it is no easy feat to gain something simply by relying on the clear Dao of Heaven and Earth.

But Qi Zhe did indeed succeed; with just a rudimentary understanding, he grasped a method that connected him to the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

This is a very mysterious method, a variant that Qi Zhe comprehended from the supreme methods, which allows a cultivator to entrust a trace of their essence into the myriad paths.

"Can entrusting one's origin to heaven and earth connect with all paths?" Qi Zhe muttered to himself, thinking it should be feasible.

The process of cultivation is always connected to all paths, but it always takes place inside the body, so even if one is aware of it, it is difficult to detect.

But now Qi Zhe has comprehended this divine art, and can clearly perceive that he is constantly connecting with heaven and earth, almost all the time.

He also discovered that this world was constantly drawing special power from cultivators, not only preventing them from achieving immortality but also repairing itself.

This perfectly aligns with Qi Zhe's understanding of the world: the Great Dao is complete, but Heaven and Earth are flawed, making it impossible to grant people immortality.

In the Dharma-ending Age, even the world is drawing upon the power of cultivators, allowing all living beings to nourish it in return, thus gradually repairing itself.

Even though he knew, Qi Zhe couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't sever his connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, just as a fish can't live without water.

"But I will eventually become an immortal, and then this sea will no longer be able to restrain me!" Qi Zhe was very confident; he firmly believed that he could become an immortal.

Qi Zhe then began to experiment. He took out a wisp of his essence and entrusted it to the myriad paths of heaven and earth, wanting to see what he would gain.

This was an astonishing attempt. In the boundless black mist, Qi Zhe's divine sense shook the Wheel of Life, gently cutting off a corner of it.

The source is the foundation of a cultivator; even a slight loss will damage one's vital energy, making it something that ordinary people simply cannot attempt.

However, Qi Zhe's essence was extremely profound, and even if a piece was missing, it could heal again, and in the blink of an eye, the Wheel of Life was restored to its original state.

At this moment, he began to experiment, sitting cross-legged in the black mist and communicating with heaven and earth, and chains of the Great Dao began to wrap around his body.

As Qi Zhe became entangled in chains, his body hair fell out, and the ghost claw mark, which had been fighting against the power of evolution for more than half a month, finally gave way.

It began to fall off beneath the Great Dao, turning into wisps of shimmering black mist that gradually dissipated, completely leaving Qi Zhe's body.

"clank."

At this moment, the chains were tightly wrapped around Qi Zhe, constantly vibrating his body as if to crush him.

"Go!" But Qi Zhe had anticipated this. He opened his mouth and spat out that fragment of origin, throwing it into the origin of heaven and earth from which the chains came.

The next moment, Qi Zhe's body burst with extraordinary light, and countless chains instantly retracted, pulling him into a special space.
