Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

In the past, at least in the era of Dao Zun, traveling across star fields was an ability possessed only by saints. Kings could barely manage it, but not entirely, and ordinary people didn't even have the right to dream of it.

Now, even ordinary beings can travel through various star systems using teleportation arrays. What a tremendous change that is!

Transportation throughout the entire Origin Realm is now interconnected, and the myriad regions of the starry sea are linked together. Under these circumstances, the vast starry seas that were originally far apart are now like neighbors, making communication extremely convenient.

As he walked, the Daoist Master looked around, becoming more and more shocked and horrified. His eyes were filled with astonishment almost constantly.

He was the strongest in the mythical era, having ruled the mythical Heavenly Court. He also left the Origin Realm and witnessed the rise and fall of many worlds in the heavens, and saw many worlds in their golden age. But compared to what was before him, those so-called golden ages were simply like a barbaric era.

He couldn't help but exclaim with heartfelt emotion, his eyes filled with admiration:

"Such a world, such a way of management, it's truly amazing. Fellow Daoist Jiang's methods and approaches to governing the Origin Realm are truly remarkable, far surpassing mine a thousand times over back then."

In the past, when he was in charge of the Mythical Heavenly Court, he could barely maintain stability and could only curb some major disasters, such as the battle between supreme-level powerhouses.

But now, under Jiang Hao's governance, not only are there more resources and better conditions, but people are also living in peace and security.

If powerful individuals engage in innocent warfare that damages the environment and causes casualties, whether they are Dao-proving cultivators or ordinary cultivators, they will all be caught and punished.

Faced with the Daoist's continuous and heartfelt praise, Jiang Hao responded calmly with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

The Daoist Master's praise hadn't stopped since they entered, making Jiang Hao a little embarrassed.

Throughout his travels, he was constantly amazed and filled with admiration. The Daoist's respect for Jiang Hao had long since extended beyond combat prowess to encompass his vision, perspective, and governance.

Soon, the three of them finally traversed layers of star fields and crossed countless star rivers, arriving at the core of this Origin Realm—the Heavenly Court!

The moment the majestic and vast Heavenly Court came into view, the Daoist was once again shocked.

The Heavenly Court, suspended above the Nine Heavens of the Origin Realm, stretches across the sky. Endless immortal light and radiance envelop the Nine Heavens, various Dao patterns entwine the palaces, and the Dao rhythms of all heavens converge at the center of the Heavenly Court, making the entire Heavenly Court appear majestic and vast.

One after another, supreme temples rose from the ground, suppressing the starry river. The entire Heavenly Court seemed like a sleeping supreme god, quietly perched atop the nine heavens.

The Daoist Master stared blankly, filled with amazement. He had personally built the Heavenly Court of the mythical era, but compared to the Heavenly Court before him now, it was like a humble thatched hut.

The Heavenly Court before us is the true imperial court of all heavens, the eternal divine dynasty.

It surpasses all others in terms of scale, structure, prestige, heritage, and momentum.

After a long while, the Daoist Master finally exhaled a long breath, his eyes filled with astonishment and shock:

"This is the supreme Heavenly Court that rules over all heavens and governs all paths. Fellow Daoist, this Heavenly Emperor is the true Heavenly Emperor!"

Just as Jiang Hao and his two companions stood atop the heavens looking down at the Heavenly Court, a voice filled with immense joy and excitement suddenly rang out from within the Heavenly Court.

"Master, Master, is that you?"

Before the words were finished, a surge of spiritual light appeared in the void, and an ancient and profound scroll unfolded in mid-air.

It is the Daoist Master's most precious treasure for proving his Dao – the Primordial Dao Diagram.

On the scroll, yin and yang flowed, stars vanished and disappeared, and countless Dao runes shone brightly.

The spirit of the artifact, in the form of an old man with white hair and a Taoist robe, appeared on the scroll. His old eyes were fixed on the Taoist Venerable in the void. The Taoist patterns on his body were slightly excited and trembling. His eyes were filled with unbelievable joy. His body was trembling slightly as he stared intently at his master whom he had not seen for many years.

"Master, it's me, Dao Tu." Dao Tu thought that Dao Zun hadn't seen him for millions of years and was afraid that he hadn't been recognized, so he quickly introduced himself.

Upon seeing the familiar Daoist diagram, the Daoist Master was deeply shaken. The calm and amazed expression on his face instantly vanished, replaced by warmth in his eyes and an uncontrollable genuine smile on his lips.

He took a step forward, his voice carrying a hint of joy at a long-awaited reunion.

"It's me, Xiaodaotu. I've returned. Millions of years have passed since we last met. It's been so long!"

This is the innate Dao diagram he created himself; how could he possibly forget it?

Upon hearing this, the Innate Dao Diagram was overjoyed. "Master, it really is you! You've really returned!"

The Dao Diagram's spiritual light surged, no longer maintaining its dignified and steady Heavenly Venerable artifact form. Like a child who had longed for the return of a loved one, it transformed into a stream of light and flew straight to the Dao Venerable's side.

The scroll rapidly circled and swirled around the Daoist Master, with gentle rays of Dao light brushing against his body in concentric circles.

Although the spirit of this Primordial Dao Diagram appears to be an old man, before the Dao Venerable, it acts like a child, its tone filled with longing and excitement:

"Master, you're finally back! I missed you so much! I thought about you day and night, and longed for your return every moment. I thought I would never see you again in this life..."

It can be said that the thing that misses Dao Zun the most in the entire Origin Realm is the Innate Dao Diagram. Over the years, it has been guarding Dao Zun's hometown, waiting for Dao Zun to return. Even after millions of years, it has never given up.

Looking at the Primordial Dao Diagram in this state, Dao Venerable felt both warmth and guilt in his heart; he had failed the Primordial Dao Diagram.

He gently stroked the surface of the scroll with its flowing patterns, his expression soothing, and said in a calming voice:

"You've suffered, little Daotu. So many long years have passed, leaving you here to endure endless loneliness. I'm so sorry for you."

The Primordial Dao Diagram, swirling around the Dao Venerable, slowly slowed its rotation. Upon hearing this, the phantom spirit of the artifact shook its head slightly.

"It's not hard work, nor is it aggrieved. It's my duty to protect everything my master left behind. Now that I can see my master return, everything from before is nothing."

Seeing this long-awaited reunion, Jiang Hao's face relaxed; it was such a touching scene.

In this world, if we're talking about what's most loyal, nothing beats the artifact of enlightenment that each person forges themselves.

This weapon is absolutely loyal. Over the years, not a single weapon has ever betrayed its master. At least, Jiang Hao has never heard of one. There are no Heavenly Venerable Weapons, Imperial Weapons, or Emperor Weapons.

Even after a person dies, these weapons will silently protect everything their master left behind.

The greatest treasure of the extreme forces is the ultimate imperial weapon; this is no joke.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and smiled, his face full of satisfaction, quietly watching this touching reunion.

"Let's go, let's enter the Heavenly Court," Jiang Hao said softly.

"Alright, let's take a look at the current people of the Origin Realm." Dao Zun nodded.

The three of them, along with the Primordial Dao Diagram, stepped onto the golden road and entered the majestic and vast Heavenly Palace.

The palaces stretched for countless layers, and the radiant light of the heavens covered the jade steps. Inside the Heavenly Court, many powerful beings from the Origin Realm were already waiting.

The moment the Daoist Master stepped into the Heavenly Court, a resounding and unified shout, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, suddenly echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Court:

"Welcome back, Daoist Master!"

Thousands of voices intertwined, shaking the heavens, their reverence as vast as mountains and as deep as the sea.

Dao Zun, the strongest being of the mythical era and a pioneer of the Origin Realm, made great contributions to the Origin Realm and deserves the respect of everyone in the Origin Realm.
