Primordial Era: Starting with Self-Created Mythical Great Luo Law

The two stared at each other for a moment, silent and exchanging only glances. Then, the future version of themselves turned and stepped onto the river of time, going against the current.

Chen Yu watched calmly as the figure receded into the distance, observing everything with indifference until the river completely vanished into nothingness.

The reason why the future self chooses to travel against the flow of time is not because it cannot directly cross dimensions and jump out of the flow of time like the past self or the present self, but because its essence is "future" - only by moving forward in the river of time is it the most suitable way of being.

One day, when Chen Yu faces a life-or-death situation, his future self will emerge from the depths of time, appearing in his time of crisis to help him overcome the calamity.

The Tongtian Sect Leader gazed in the direction where his future self had disappeared, his brows furrowed, filled with doubt.

Now that it has already taken shape, why not leave the river of time and enter endless spacetime like its past and present forms? Why insist on staying in it?

Despite his confusion, he could only suppress his questions and continue to watch Chen Yu's every move.

At this moment, Chen Yu had returned to his original state after merging his three bodies into one, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He stood still for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the long, now calm, river of time. Then, with a light leap, he broke free from the river and returned to Biyou Palace.

He severed his connection with the flow of time, sat cross-legged, and fell into deep thought.

As the connection was severed, the river of time also disappeared, merging back into the boundless expanse of time and space, never to be seen again.

Its appearance was originally caused by Chen Yu's influence; now that the cause and effect have been resolved, it naturally returns to its origin.

As the long river vanished, all the aura related to it within the palace also disappeared. The aura of the Great Dao, the essence of the Dao, and the power of origin that had permeated all directions vanished into nothingness.

Those disciples of the Jie Sect who were comprehending the Great Dao frowned the moment the Daoist aura disappeared.

They were in a state of sudden enlightenment, their spirituality was greatly enhanced, and their understanding of the Great Dao was advancing by leaps and bounds, as if they had been enlightened by a sudden awakening—but at that very moment, everything came to an abrupt end.

However, at this moment, the profound understanding that had previously emerged had vanished, as if it had never existed.

The crowd frowned slightly, but they were still immersed in the lingering charm of the Great Dao, their minds still boundless in its meaning.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced lightly at Chen Yu, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He then sighed silently, merging with his clone and returning to one, continuing to expound the true meaning of the Great Dao.

He knew that Chen Yu had already perfected his own cultivation and could not progress any further, so he would not listen to lectures anymore. As for himself, he still needed to continue to preach the Dharma to the people under his tutelage.

The Tongtian Sect Leader silently deduced the secrets of heaven and discovered that time was flowing silently, and this sermon had lasted for two thousand five hundred years.

He glanced around at the crowd, then continued to expound on the profound truths of the Dao without pausing.

Chen Yu calmed his mind and observed inwardly. After condensing and unifying his "past body," "present body," and "future body," he noticed that the cosmos within his body was becoming increasingly vast and magnificent.

Originally 365 tiny worlds, they have now all transformed into miniature worlds, each with its own unique characteristics.

He stared intently at one of the smaller worlds, yet he couldn't pinpoint the exact moment of its advancement.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the world was teeming with life and its laws were as dense as mist. Although it appeared immature in Chen Yu's eyes, he understood that given time, the world would evolve and become perfect.

After examining all the worlds one by one, he found that they were all different—each world had a different system of laws and a completely different direction of evolution.

In particular, the world that he once stored in miasma, poison, resentment, death, blood and other filthy energy has now been transformed into a dark red domain, with its internal laws centered on such sinister power.

Seeing this, Chen Yu shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"So be it, let it evolve on its own. How things change in the future is beyond my control."

After whispering, he glanced indifferently at the void ahead. With just one glance, space cracked, and earth, water, fire, and wind surged forth.

However, under Chen Yu's gaze, the violent primal power was completely annihilated before it could spread, leaving only a vast expanse of chaotic energy all around.

He gazed quietly at the chaotic energy. In the past, absorbing it required the assistance of his Dao body and Dharma form, but now he no longer needed external force; with a thought, he could absorb it directly.

So he began to absorb endless chaos to replenish the power needed by the universe and galaxies.

Now that the galaxy has expanded and its capacity has multiplied, it is natural to fill it up. As for when the Tongtian Sect Leader will end his sermons, there is no certainty yet. Rather than sitting idly waiting, it is better to cultivate oneself.

Chen Yu then focused on absorbing the chaotic energy to replenish his own galaxy.

Chaotic energy surged into the cosmic galaxy within the Purple Palace, instantly assimilated by the power of the galaxy, transforming into pure galaxy energy that continuously filled the entire star field.

He silently cultivated himself, only glancing briefly at the Tongtian Sect Leader before turning his attention back to the discourse of the Tao Te Ching.

Thus, five hundred years have quietly passed.

In the primordial chaos, time was simply commonplace.

It is not uncommon for powerful beings to go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years.

Chen Yu was so deep in meditation that even he himself didn't know when he would emerge from seclusion.

A single retreat can transform the world.

On this day, the Tongtian Sect Leader finally stopped preaching.

At this moment, three thousand years had passed, and he no longer uttered a single word.

The sermon ended not because he was tired or weary, but because he wanted to gather his own supreme Dharma form after the disciples had dispersed.

Previously, when Chen Yu's supreme Dharma form appeared, he had already glimpsed its secrets and deduced the complete path, waiting only for the right time to begin condensing it.

As the Tongtian Sect Leader ceased his sermon, the myriad strange phenomena gradually faded away, the Daoist essence dissipated, and the holy radiance vanished without a trace.

The auspicious mythical beasts, such as the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, which were transformed from Daoyin, also vanished into thin air.

Chen Yu raised his eyes and looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader. Seeing that the leader had stopped speaking, he knew that the sermon had come to an end.

He then glanced at the disciples of the Jie Sect in Biyou Palace and saw that they were still trapped in the afterglow of the Great Dao and had not yet awakened, so he continued to absorb the chaotic energy without disturbing them.

He knew that since everyone had just heard the Dao of the Sage, their souls were deeply immersed in the ocean of Dao essence, and with their foundation and cultivation, it would take some time for them to fully awaken.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect sat quietly in Biyou Palace, waiting silently.

He was waiting for his disciples to awaken from their enlightenment and for their minds to return to their proper place so that he could answer their questions and resolve their doubts.

Chen Yu showed no sign of haste. He continued to quietly absorb the chaotic energy, transforming the boundless chaotic power into the origin of the galaxy, slowly filling his own cosmic galaxy.

Time flows silently, and in the blink of an eye, a century has passed.

A century has passed, and the disciples of the Jie Sect have opened their eyes one after another, returning from their profound understanding of the Great Dao.

They did not rush to leave, but stood quietly or sat cross-legged, waiting for the last fellow disciple to awaken.

Until the last person's eyes flashed and they opened their eyes, it signified that all the disciples of the Jie Sect in Biyou Palace had completely recovered from their deep meditation on the Great Dao.

As if by unspoken agreement, everyone stood up and bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Thank you, Teacher, for imparting knowledge and teaching me!"

Chen Yu also rose and joined the others in a grand salute.
