Chapter 360 Man Slays Heaven's Path
The sun chariot swept across the sky, its light rivaling that of the sun, illuminating the ten directions of the North Sea.

Any sea creature that saw this second "great sun" immediately retreated three thousand miles, not daring to approach, and only daring to watch with respect.

Ever since the Sun God displayed his divine power at the Feathered Immortal Cliff, sweeping away five Great Accomplishment Kings and astonishing the world with his Imperial Weapon, he has instilled fear and apprehension in everyone.

Over the past year, the holder of the Devouring Demon Canopy has repeatedly used ruthless methods, and anyone who dares to provoke him has been annihilated, body and soul.

Now, no one dares to confront its sharp edge.

Only after the "sun" had gone far away did many sea creatures dare to come to the path of the sun they had just crossed.

"The master of the Eight Views Palace set off from the North Sea this year, leaving his footprints in many famous places in the Four Continents of Ziwei. What exactly is he trying to do?"

"More than two thousand years ago, Lao Tzu rode away on an ox, his purple aura stretching for 30,000 miles. Many people speculate that the master of the Eight Views Palace was imitating Lao Tzu."

"Laozi rode an ox westward, while he rode the sun to patrol the heavens, seeking his true self in order to illuminate the Great Dao!"

"The master of the Eight Views Palace has already reached the peak of the Great Power realm. Doesn't that mean he is preparing for the Dao-Severing Realm?"

"Yes, this may be a crucial journey for him to achieve enlightenment."

"Then why did he go back to Beihai?"

"Go ask the master of the Eight Views Palace!"

"..."

Qin Sheng's actions that year were upright and honorable, displaying the grandeur of the sun illuminating the world, and he did not engage in any underhanded or treacherous acts.

After discovering that he was constantly traveling to various sacred sites and wondrous sights to contemplate the mysteries of Tao, people began to speculate about his intentions.

Some people believe that he is searching for an extremely important treasure, possibly even the Devouring Demon Jar, which is why he is acting as if he is traversing the entire Ziwei Palace.

Another group of people believe that he is accumulating Dao essence and preparing for the Immortal Three Dao Severing. After all, everyone knows that the master of the Eight Views Palace has a fast cultivation speed, and he must have already arrived at the gate of the King.

In the Ziwei cultivation community, more people agree with the latter view.

Even the Ruthless Great Emperor wasn't a member of the Ziwei clan, so how could his imperial weapon have been left here?
The master of the Eight Views Palace rode the sun to tour the heavens and walked the path to see me. Many people were wondering if he could gain anything and whether he could take this step.

"With the talent and ability of the Eight Views Palace Master, severing the Dao should not be a problem, but not now. How long has he been cultivating to the peak of the second level of immortality?"

"Severing the Dao barrier is not something that can be achieved simply by having good talent. Sometimes, excessive talent can become a hindrance. Throughout history, there has been no shortage of geniuses who have fallen at this step. The most monstrous talents can be compared to the Great Emperors!"

"After leaving Changsheng Temple, Yin Tiande disappeared without a trace. He must also be seeking a breakthrough. He arrived at Zhandao Gate earlier than the master of Bajing Palace, but he is still stuck here."

In the Ziwei cultivation world, whether people admire Qin Sheng or hate him, they all acknowledge that his talent and strength are unmatched.

However, whether they are allies or adversaries, not many people believe that he can break through the Dao in a short period of time.

This level is truly exceptional; there's no fixed path, unlike previous levels where there's a clear route to follow. No one dares to claim certainty of breaking through.

In the third stage of the Immortal Realm, the Heavens sever the cultivator's path, leaving no way to follow the Dao. You don't even know what to do next or where you'll end up.

Most people spend their entire lives standing at the threshold of enlightenment, never managing to push it aside.

Faced with this challenge, those who have cultivated for ten years and those who have cultivated for a thousand years may differ in their foundation, the accumulation and refinement of their combat power, much like the difference between a holy lord and a living fossil.

However, the distance they traveled on the main road was no different for everyone; they were all stuck before the road was blocked.

If you can't understand or see through it, then your life will just be like this.

If one could achieve enlightenment in a single day, perhaps one could reach the peak of Immortal Level 2 this morning and become a King by evening; no one can say for sure.

Of course, such a highly efficient situation has almost never occurred.

"I believe that the master of the Eight Views Palace will be able to cut off the Dao in at least ten years, or as soon as five years."

"His journey to enlightenment has only been going on for a year. We shall see what the future holds."

When Qin Sheng first started roaming around Ziwei, many people were very nervous, but now they have gotten used to it.

As it turns out, the master of the Eight Views Palace is not a great demon. If you don't provoke him, he won't go berserk for no reason and wipe out your entire family.

People from Ziwei are good at compromise. In the past, when Qin Sheng killed dozens of powerful figures in a battle, various forces would stand up to condemn him, as if this act was outrageous and that only by punishing him could the world be appeased.

Now that they've discovered Qin Sheng possesses the Devouring Demon Canopy, the Ziwei people feel it's not a big deal. They'll kill him if they want, as long as they don't wipe out his entire family.

Within a single continent, there are numerous lineages of Daoist traditions, with some major sects having three to five powerful figures, while others have dozens.

They can afford to die.

On the Sun God chariot, Yi Qingwu asked, puzzled:

"We still have so many places to visit, why are we going back to Beihai?"

Over the past year, the Moon Goddess has been very happy and has lived a different kind of life.

"I want to go to the Chaos Pure Land."

"There's nothing left there, so why go back?" Yi Qingwu asked, increasingly puzzled.

"Sever the Dao".

The Moon Goddess's mouth was slightly open.

"Cut what?"

"...Will practicing the Guanghan Ancient Scripture cause deafness?"

"Senior Qin, are you about to break through?" Li Wan was also taken aback, her heart trembling.

“We’ve made some progress; it’s time.” Qin Sheng nodded.

"How long have you been cultivating to the second level of the Sendai realm?" Yi Qingwu couldn't accept it.

This is a Dao-severing technique, how could it be so fast?
Being stuck for one or two decades is the norm!
“A year is long enough. I already know what I want and how to walk my path,” Qin Sheng said calmly.

"If you understand, you understand; if you don't understand, you will never comprehend it in your entire life."

Qin Sheng didn't want someone like Yin Tiande who was stuck for over ten years, or someone like Ye Fan who had spent four or five years accumulating experience.

Spending a year at this hurdle, carefully considering the path ahead, is already the greatest respect one can show to the Path-Severing Gate.

In fact, it is absolutely necessary to stop and think carefully before stepping into the gate of severing the path. This step is too important to ignore and will affect one's entire future.

If your cultivation in a certain secret realm is not perfect, you may still have the opportunity to start over and make up for it if the opportunity arises later. You can then sever your path without regret.

Unless you are reincarnated.

Yi Qingwu remained silent for a long time, her expression complex, before finally accepting the fact.

What do you want to cut off?

When a normal person cuts off their path, they usually cut off certain things from themselves, such as emotions, memories, thoughts, and so on.

"It's better if you don't know this, otherwise it might affect your future path to enlightenment," Qin Sheng shook his head.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

Qin Sheng feared that if Yi Qingwu learned of his path to enlightenment, she might develop a desire to compete with him when facing this challenge in the future, and try to break through using the same method as him.

It would be a sin to blow up the little girl's slaves.

After careful consideration, Yi Qingwu finally nodded, "You're right. Everyone has their own path and shouldn't be influenced by others."

“Perhaps Senior Qin will erase Sister Yi’s memories,” Li Wan said with a smile.

After a year of getting to know each other, our relationship has improved a lot, and we speak much more casually.

“Impossible.” Yi Qingwu shook her head slightly.

"Only emotions and memories that are profound and significant enough are worthy of being the price for severing one's path."

Her meaning was clear: she didn't think that memories related to herself could serve as Qin Sheng's source of comfort.

In the original timeline, An Miaoyi severed all ties with Ye Fan to pursue her own path.

Qin Sheng glanced at Yi Qingwu and said, "You're quite self-aware."

Yi Qingwu: "..."

The little girl, who had been quietly leaning against the Moon Goddess, suddenly became nervous and threw herself into Qin Sheng's arms.

"Big brother, you haven't forgotten about Nannan, have you?"

Grandmother Nan was also very self-aware, knowing that she was very important to Qin Sheng.

"Of course not. I promised Nannan that I would never forget you." Qin Sheng smiled and pinched her nose.

"I will always be myself, and I will not be perfect if I lose anything."

"If you succeed, you will be the first Dao-Slaying King among the two ancient stars, Ziwei and Beidou." Even now, Yi Qingwu still finds it incredible.

During the year they spent together, she learned a lot about Beidou from Qin Sheng and about the situation of the geniuses there.

There are countless geniuses and prodigies in the Big Dipper, but none of them can compare to the person beside me; the gap is enormous.

In an era when most young geniuses are still at the Immortal Level 1 and only a very few have broken through to the Immortal Level 2, there is one person who is about to sever the Dao and become a king!

"Perhaps, only the Great Emperor Wushi in ancient history can be compared to you."

The Great Emperor Wushi, a name that can crush eternity, is not only unparalleled in combat power, but also far surpasses his peers in cultivation speed.

"I'm used to being number one." Qin Sheng remained calm, his demeanor perfectly composed. "I've seen some records in the writings of the ancients; the perfection of the mind is very important in overcoming the barrier to enlightenment." Li Wan racked her brains, trying to find any knowledge that could help Qin Sheng.

"Senior Qin is now far from his hometown. Will this have any impact?"

Qin Sheng smiled slightly, "My path is different from others, so I have no worries in this regard."

A fulfilled mind is indeed very important. In the original timeline, Master Ye cultivated to the peak of the second level of the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in Beidou. Before his duel with Yuan Gu, the descendant of the ancient emperor, he sat in meditation for a month, intending to sever his Dao in order to face an unparalleled enemy.

But the more I thought about it, the more confused and lost I felt.

Where is my path?
In the end, Master Ip concluded that he had to go back to Earth to see his parents and fulfill his wish before he could overcome this obstacle.

Qin Sheng didn't have this problem. He had already made arrangements for his parents before leaving Earth, and he didn't need to worry about anything in Beidou either, so he had no worries.

"Then I wish you success in severing your Dao and being crowned a king in one fell swoop."

Soon, Qin Sheng and his group returned to the location of the Sea Abyss. After opening the entrance to the small world with the Kunpeng Token, they returned to their old place.

Kunling, having just awakened a year ago, remained conscious and manifested nearby upon sensing the opening of the world portal.

"Have you provoked a powerful enemy?" she asked.

In her view, the only possibility was that Qin Sheng had returned in such a short time.

She understands that geniuses are always targeted.

"No, I want to cultivate and sever my path in the Chaos Pure Land."

"Severing the Dao? Are you serious?"

"There is no room for frivolous words on the path of Tao."

Kunling was stunned. She was of considerable background and well-informed.

But Qin Sheng's situation, whether in terms of combat strength or talent, has repeatedly exceeded her expectations.

How long has it been?
If she hadn't been awake all year, Kunling would have thought that more than a decade had passed.

Could he really be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor?

"Are you confident?" Kunling asked again.

"Ten percent."

After a moment's thought, Kunling continued, "You know the situation in the Chaos Pure Land. Its essence is completely depleted, the Great Dao is utterly hidden, the world is about to shatter, and it is filled with death energy."

“It will be much more difficult to sever your path in such a place than in other areas.”

"A fine sword is forged through tempering; I was prepared for that." Qin Sheng said calmly.

"Although it is difficult, it can hone extraordinary skills."

Kunling didn't say anything more. She knew very well that once someone like Qin Sheng made up his mind, it was basically unshakeable.

"With your talent and such will, you are sure to succeed. Go."

Through the spatial rift on the Kunpeng Nest, Qin Sheng returned to the Chaos Pure Land, which was even more dilapidated than a year ago.

Such an environment is like a high-pressure zone. Heaven and earth are like a forging hammer, constantly striking and hammering you. If you can withstand the heavy pressure and forge your own path, making your own way stand firm and indestructible, then you will naturally have a more solid and unbreakable foundation.

Qin Sheng arrived at the withered sacred tree, which was once the core of the Pure Land.

"Just here."

Qin Sheng sat under the tree, looked at the little girls, and smiled as he spoke.

"Don't worry, I never fail."

"Come on, big brother!"

Qin Sheng nodded and began making final adjustments, closing his eyes to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.

There is no need to worry about the inability to trigger a heavenly tribulation in the Chaotic Pure Land, nor is there any need to fear that the intensity of the heavenly tribulation is insufficient.

Although this place is a world independent of the main body of the universe, it is still within the myriad paths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Furthermore, the Chaos Pure Land has long since interacted with the ancient Ziwei Star, and the Great Dao has been connected with it.

Just like the Central Continent Immortal Abode, its connection with the Big Dipper has always been there. However, the unique ancient rules in the middle and outermost areas of the Immortal Abode have been gradually assimilated by the greater universe.

If the Chaos Pure Land had not been destroyed, it would have become like the Immortal Abode in the future.

Compared to undergoing tribulations outside, one will have everything one needs when undergoing tribulations in the Pure Land.

"Emperors and sovereigns who have set foot in Ziwei may manifest themselves in my upcoming Dao-Severing Tribulation and become obstacles to my path."

As an ancient star adjacent to the Big Dipper, the burial star of emperors, countless emperors and sovereigns have descended upon this place throughout history.

And let us not forget that the human race regards the two ancient scriptures of the Moon and the Sun as their mother scriptures. When the ancient emperors created their own scriptures, they often referred to these two mother scriptures.

As the hometown of two great emperors, this is a place that the Great Emperor would not ignore.

Therefore, regardless of the timing, location, or human factors, this world, which is even more extreme than the end of Dharma, is the best place for Qin Sheng to sever his path.

“Severing oneself, severing the past, severing everything… this is not the path for me.” Qin Sheng’s heart was as calm as the starry sky.

"All realms return to one, reversing the chaos; what I need to do is not subtraction, but addition."

“Heavens, it’s not that you cut something off me, but that I cut off the Great Dao from you, so that all the Dao can have a new master.”

"Heaven's will can slay people and reap the harvest of all living beings with a single stroke; human will can also slay heaven with a single sword and defy the Great Dao."

Qin Sheng is following the path of chaos, so at this step he cannot follow the will of Heaven and must sever a part of himself, which would be self-harm.

Nor should one act like Ye Fan, cutting through the Great Dao that blocks one's path, carving out a way that runs counter to the Dao of Chaos.

Qin Sheng wanted to sever the Heavenly Dao, to cut off the Heavenly Emperor's control over the Great Dao, and to bring all the Dao under his control, thus becoming the Dao Lord.

Of course, Qin Sheng is a King, not an Emperor. This trial of severing the Heavenly Dao and controlling all the Dao is only the first step, reversing the Dao traces and forging his own path.

This is a crucial step for the Chaos Body, and also the starting point of Qin Sheng's Great Dao.

As for the so-called method of breaking through the Dao Tribulation with combat power, without either cutting or increasing, this is essentially the path Ye Fan took, which Qin Sheng naturally would not follow.

"Having merged with one world after another, the Dao and Law of all realms, essence and spirituality are all bestowed upon me. I should walk the endless and infinite path."

"Whether it was at the beginning, now, or even in the future, my choices have never been wrong. There is only chaos, chaos is inevitable, and chaos will ultimately prevail."

When one looks upon all the heavens and myriad realms, the Chaotic Body that Shrouds the Sky is merely the beginning of Qin Sheng's path.

During this year, due to the slow flow of time in the First World, Qin Sheng's comprehension of the Dao-Slaying and Self-Realization was not yet fully completed.

However, Qin Sheng's understanding of this transcendent skill was originally divided into two parts.

The first part is about understanding one's true nature and seeing the path ahead.

The second part involves obtaining the most suitable cultivation method from the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying.

Qin Sheng had already completed the severing of the Dao, and only after meeting me did he finally determine his path.

Qin Sheng's thoughts gradually dissipated, and he entered a state of profound emptiness.

In the distance, Yi Qingwu and the other two watched Qin Sheng quietly without making a sound, afraid of disturbing him.

Will it work out? Do I want it to work out?
The Moon Goddess asked herself the question, but could not find the answer.

Three days later, Qin Sheng opened his eyes, which were as deep and boundless as the starry sky.

"It's time," Qin Sheng whispered.

"You should leave, leave this pure land, the farther the better, so as not to be affected."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qingwu and Li Wan were utterly astonished.

They had searched this pristine land before. Although it was only a drop in the ocean compared to the ancient Ziwei star, it was still hundreds of thousands of miles long.

Even the Pure Land can't be stayed in anymore?

"Sister, let's go." The little girl had a feeling that a storm was about to break.

After the three left the Pure Land, Qin Sheng circulated his cultivation, fully unleashing his power to communicate and verify with the world, while also transmitting his will to the heavens.

I wish to control all the heavens and myriad paths!

"Boom!"

The moment this will was uttered, an earth-shattering change occurred; in an instant, the entire Chaotic Pure Land was submerged by a sea of ​​lightning.

This range is not the limit of the Heavenly Tribulation, but the limit of the Pure Land.

Unlike any previous tribulation, this time Qin Sheng's tribulation of severing the Dao gave him no time to prepare; it struck him directly as soon as it took shape.

This is no longer a calamity, but a divine punishment, a divine retribution, and Qin Sheng must be destroyed.

"Heaven," an unprecedented "anger."

Qin Sheng's ideas and path were simply too defiant, as he actually wanted to contend with the heavens for the right path. This was more intolerable to the heavens than any other path he had ever attempted to sever.

If you don't want to part with what's yours, fine, but why are you trying to steal it from me?
