He fell off a cliff but unexpectedly gained a cultivation inheritance.

Just as Zhang Bufan withdrew his suppressing power and the chaotic vortex revived, the entire vast chaos suddenly darkened.

Boundless gray tribulation clouds arose from nothingness, their coverage exceeding even the maximum range of Zhang Bufan's spiritual domain, pressing heavily over Zhang Bufan and the Xuanqing Ancestor who had just escaped danger. Within the tribulation clouds, thunder lurked, each ray of lightning carrying the ultimate majesty of the chaotic heavenly Dao, bearing the supreme ferocity to judge and annihilate everything.

This is the wrath of the Chaos Heavenly Dao!

Ascension is a predetermined rule of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, the destiny of beings in the Primordial Realm, and should be in accordance with the will of Heaven and follow the rules. However, Zhang Bufan's forceful suppression of the ascension vortex, interruption of the ascension process, and rescue of the Xuanqing Ancestor from near death are tantamount to blatantly interfering with the order of the Heavenly Dao and challenging its authority.

Zhang Bufan's mind was heavy. This kind of heavenly tribulation had already surpassed all the natural disasters and calamities of the Chaos. Any single bolt of heavenly divine lightning could instantly annihilate an ordinary peak-level expert of the Primordial Realm.

Even now that he has reached the Cosmic Realm and is facing the punishment of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, he feels a life-threatening danger and dares not have the slightest thought of resisting it.

The Chaos Heavenly Dao maintains the rules and order of the entire Chaos Territory, and it is something he cannot directly confront at present.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Bufan moved his mind and, with the weakened Xuanqing Ancestor beside him, traversed the endless void and instantly returned to the Bufan Universe.

The oppressive force of the Heavenly Dao from the outside world was completely shielded and isolated.

The entire extraordinary universe remained filled with celestial energy and primordial peace, with countless worlds floating stably and all things thriving, completely unaffected by the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

Standing at the core of the universe, Zhang Bufan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his tense mind completely relaxed, and his conjecture was confirmed.

The extraordinary universe no longer belongs to the realm of chaos; it has truly transcended chaos.

In this independent universe that he personally nurtured, he is the sole Heavenly Dao!

The old ancestor Xuanqing finally came to his senses. He looked around at the peaceful and tranquil universe with lingering fear, then looked at Zhang Bufan beside him with a calm expression. His turbid eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions.

There was relief, relief that his disciple had grown to the point of transcending chaos; there was lingering fear, lingering fear of the imminent danger of the destruction of the Heavenly Dao; and there was endless guilt and worry.

After a long silence, Ancestor Xuanqing sighed softly, "Bufan, you shouldn't have saved me. Ascension is ordained by the Heavenly Dao, and death is also the destiny of the Dao. For the sake of this crippled body of mine, to forcibly defy the Chaos Heavenly Dao and interfere with the rules is truly a loss that is not worthwhile."

Faced with his master's self-reproach, Zhang Bufan remained calm: "Master, there's no need to worry. All my achievements in this life are thanks to you. Without your teachings, there would be no Zhang Bufan today. How could I stand by and watch you perish before my eyes? You can rest in seclusion in the universe and recuperate. Once your fundamental essence is fully perfected, you can seek another opportunity to ascend."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Xuanqing was filled with mixed emotions, but in the end he could only nod deeply.

This setback in his ascension has severely depleted his essence, leaving him with almost no original power. His physical body is damaged and his foundation is weakened, rendering him incapable of managing the alliance's affairs.

After returning to the Xuanqing Continent, the Xuanqing Ancestor officially relinquished his position as leader of the Xuanqing Alliance and from then on secluded himself from worldly affairs to cultivate in seclusion.

With the retirement and seclusion of Ancestor Xuanqing, the system of eleven decision-making elders who once led the Xuanqing Alliance has become completely defunct.

Ancestor Xuanqing went into seclusion and withdrew from worldly affairs, completely relinquishing power; Li Qingshuang and Zhang Mengshuang had never been interested in power and unconditionally trusted and supported all of Zhang Bufan's decisions.

Furthermore, with the entire Bodhi, Zhulong, and other top chaotic races having migrated to the Extraordinary Universe and submitted to his command, the Xuanqing Alliance has become a force completely controlled by Zhang Bufan alone.

In order to accelerate the exploration and control of the Chaotic Territory, Zhang Bufan decided to reform the system.

He announced to all former Xuanqing Alliance clans that the "Xuanqing Alliance" would be officially renamed the Immortal Court.

The Extraordinary Universe serves as the central headquarters of the Celestial Court, and all the chaotic creature races that were originally part of the Xuanqing Alliance have been incorporated into the Celestial Court's organization.

From then on, all resources under the control of the Celestial Court were uniformly allocated; all cultivators' combat power was uniformly deployed; and all territorial exploration, demon cleansing, and order consolidation were all under the overall planning and coordination of the Celestial Court.

Zhang Bufan, who opened up the supreme pure land and took charge of the independent universe, naturally became the immortal lord of the immortal court.

The Celestial Court's internal cohesion and execution capabilities have increased several times over, resulting in unprecedented overall combat strength.

Thanks to the well-established management system of the Celestial Court, the progress of exploration in the Chaos Territory and the efficiency of eliminating evil spirits have seen explosive growth.

The mighty Celestial Army galloped across the entire territory of the Chaos Network, annihilating all the extraterrestrial demons and bringing all the chaotic creatures to their side wherever they went.

Time flows on, and eras change.

After a hundred million epochs of continuous exploration and expansion, the Celestial Court has already discovered the outline of the Chaos Territory, which resembles the right arm of a vast and boundless giant.

Even before reaching the Cosmic Realm, Zhang Bufan had used his own bloodline and meridians to deduce the general shape and direction of the Chaotic Territory. However, at that time it was ultimately just a deduction and speculation, vague and incomplete.

Now, as the actual measured map of the Chaotic Territory continues to improve, Zhang Bufan's understanding of the supreme Dao contained within the Chaotic Territory is constantly deepening, and his cultivation at the Universe Realm is also steadily rising.

Time flies, and billions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Celestial Court's exploration of the Chaos Realm has finally come to a successful conclusion.

The entire chaotic territory had been thoroughly explored by the Celestial Court army. In the extraordinary core of the universe, within the Celestial Court's information hub hall, a magnificent and complete map of the chaotic territory floated quietly in the hall, exuding a natural Daoist charm.

Zhang Bufan stood before the map of the territory, his gaze deep and his heart surging with Dao, quietly gazing at the ultimate panorama of chaos.

The entire territory map is composed of countless densely packed, varying-thickness, crisscrossing pipe-like chaotic territories. The thousands of pipes may seem intricate and chaotic, but in reality, every branch and every turn contains the supreme principles of the Great Dao, interlocking and echoing each other, ultimately forming a perfect closed loop of ultimate order of the Great Dao.

The entire vast and boundless chaotic territory, encompassing all races and creatures, is outlined as a male giant with his eyes closed!

The giant has a perfect form, with limbs, torso, head, body, and internal organs. Its meridian network corresponds to the chaotic realm, and its qi and blood originate from the chaotic flow of qi, perfectly matching the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Precise calculations have revealed that the overall height of this sleeping chaotic giant has reached a terrifying scale of 18 billion cosmic units, lying quietly and bearing the entire chaotic universe with its own body.

The reason why this giant is judged to be asleep rather than fallen is that its core essence has never ceased.

Based on calculations of the flow speed of the chaotic air currents throughout the entire region, the giant's heart continued to beat slowly, never ceasing. However, its beating cycle was extremely long; a single complete heartbeat lasted for a hundred trillion epochs.

Compared to such an ancient era, Zhang Bufan's cultivation time of over 10 billion epochs is but a fleeting moment; the oldest record of trillions of epochs in the inheritance of the Chaos Races is merely a tiny fragment of a giant's heartbeat.

Just as the complete map of the chaotic territory took shape and the giant's full appearance was revealed, a Daoist voice boomed in Zhang Bufan's mind.

All the insights and deductions from the billions of years have now been fully integrated and perfectly unified.

His understanding of the supreme Dao contained within the Chaotic Territory was completely perfected. An invisible Dao rhythm resonated throughout his body, and Zhang Bufan's cultivation at the Universe Realm naturally and instantly surged, reaching the perfect state of the Universe Realm!
