A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 641 The Singularity of the Great Dao, The Choice of the Benevolent Dragon

Regardless of which system a nine-star powerhouse comes from, they all share many commonalities in their cultivation path at this level, namely, the pursuit of the completeness of the Great Dao.

Every ten-star powerhouse actually contains the mysteries of all the Great Daos within the infinite chaos in their own cultivation.

However, due to their own preferences, they will take out a part of their ideal self from their concept of perfect and infinite existence and use it to interact with the secular world.

This is why the Dao Fruit characteristics of a ten-star powerhouse appear different.

To cultivate from a nine-star level to a ten-star level, one must also reach that state of "complete infinity".

However, since the Great Void Sea itself is infinite, and the void is infinite, the chaos is infinite, and the world is infinite, in order to make one's own existence equal to these infinite things, one cannot rely solely on simple expansion, devouring, and other such means.

For example, there is a type of grass on Earth.

This kind of grass is limited when viewed from the perspective of Earth, but if viewed from the perspective of the Great Void Sea, because there are countless worlds in the Void Sea, and within those countless worlds, there are countless worlds that exist on Earth.

Of all the countless Earths, the number of Earths where this kind of grass exists is infinite.

Therefore, the actual total amount of this "grass" would reach an infinite level.

However, even within the vast void and ocean of existence, though both are infinite concepts, there are differences in size.

Suppose that this grass must grow on a rock larger than itself.

Therefore, infinite grass is obviously smaller than infinite rock, infinite rock is smaller than infinite mountain, and infinite mountain is smaller than infinite Earth.

Even a nine-star powerhouse can shake the multiverse with a single thought. If one only uses clumsy methods like expansion and devouring to comprehend these things and cultivate the principles of these things layer by layer, it will be difficult to achieve the same results.

Then he will only ever be stacking boxes, there will always be boxes he hasn't yet come into contact with, and he will never be able to reach the "complete infinity" level that contains everything, where the ten-star level is located.

The correct approach is to seek the singularity of the Great Dao.

The grass itself is finite, but it becomes infinite because it is placed in the context of the "complete infinity" of the Great Void Sea.

Only when the finite grass meets the "complete and infinite" vast void sea does the infinite number of grasses come into being.

If we can find the key to this encounter, the connection between the two, then we can use a limited amount of energy to grasp an infinite number of derivatives.

This crucial point is called the Great Dao Singularity.

In theory, as long as one can continuously comprehend more of the Great Dao singularities, one can infer the most crucial difference between "layered infinity" and "complete infinity" and thus reach the tenth star level.

A beginner-level Celestial Venerable usually only comprehends one Great Dao Singularity. If they can comprehend a second one, they can step into the intermediate-level Celestial Venerable.

Looking back on the moment Guan Luoyang stepped into the nine-star realm, he realized that what he had comprehended was the "wonder of the heart fire," the manifestation of which was the ability to ignite one's will and transform it into infinite energy for various operations.

His current attempt to break through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm is to verify whether the second Great Dao Singularity he comprehended is correct.

This second kind of Great Dao Singularity can be called the "Singularity of Reversal," and the manifestation it gives rise to is that everything that is touched will have a response.

Anything that is touched by something else will inevitably respond, although this response may manifest in different forms or be delayed.

By mastering the wonder of reflux, one can choose the response one receives within a certain range.

boom!!!

When Guan Luoyang's outstretched palm collided with the palm force of the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable, it only produced a low rumble, and there were no obvious phenomena between the two.

Because in the palm of the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable, the supreme Mahayana light energy suddenly condensed into one, neither moving forward nor backward, as if he originally did not intend to use this light energy to kill the enemy, but only to use it for defense.

His powerful and aggressive divine ability was transformed into a purely defensive divine ability.

This was the result Guan Luoyang wanted when he unleashed that palm strike.

Immortal Venerable Yongzhou's expression changed drastically: "The Heavenly Decree to Seal Demons!!"

Taiqing Chiming, in the past, some people have also comprehended two kinds of Great Dao singularities similar to those of Guan Luoyang.

Some people died in the great calamity long ago, but let's not talk about that.

However, Li Changling, the current head of the Fire Department of the Heavenly Court, comprehended the two great singularities of "Heart Light" and "Return Flow" when he first entered the middle stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm. Based on this, he created a great supernatural power called the Heavenly Will Demon Sealing Order.

That move was at least 80% similar to Guan Luoyang's current palm strike.

When the Immortal Venerable Yongzhou was vying with Li Changling for the position of Heavenly Venerable, he was defeated by this very great divine power.

"It would be one thing if there were only one Li Changling in the world, but how could there be a second one?!"

The eyes of the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable flashed with divine light, his hair swirled, and with a long roar, the three thousand light feathers around him condensed and transformed into a long sword, crystal clear, with eight sides, pure white in texture, like jade and light.

The singularity of the Great Dao has endless uses. Even a single one can support countless techniques of a beginner-level Celestial Venerable.

However, if one has already mastered the two starting points of the Great Dao, when fighting against a strong opponent of the same level, one no longer needs to be so particular about complicated variations in one's methods of combat.

Because the two great singularities corroborate each other, it is easier to find several of the best ways to combine them, mixing all kinds of power into one, so as to injure the enemy more deeply.

Over the years, the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable has discovered eight methods to combine the two Great Dao singularities he mastered, which are the most powerful.

Light of thought, light of intention, light of action, light of law, light of wisdom, light of reality, light of supernatural powers, light of unobstructed wisdom.

These eight techniques each manifest as one side of the sword, together forming this divine sword.

When the Immortal Venerable of Eternal Day wielded this sword, with a single thrust, all his achievements in comprehending the Great Dao and deducing supernatural powers throughout his life were contained within it.

Guan Luoyang flicked his sleeve, and countless dark voids appeared around him. With a slight flick of his right hand, the divine fire reflected in those dark voids multiplied infinitely, amplifying the power of those pure Dao spiritual lights.

Because those clusters of void are actually vast, once the firelight penetrates them, it appears like distant stars.

Emerald green starlight and deep blue light intermingled, sometimes forming star vortexes, sometimes scattering into stardust. Nebulae and stardust intertwined, resembling the outlines of countless strange beasts and gods, exhausting all imagination and incomparably magnificent.

However, when the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable thrust his sword, billions of stars vanished one after another, and countless starlight and divine forms seemed to be nothing more than dust blown away by the sword wind.

As he leaped forward with his sword, his sleeves billowing, the blade had already traversed an infinite distance, heading straight for the figure at the very back and top of the vast starry sky.

Guan Luoyang, high above, had countless images in his eyes, a chaotic and vast sea, as he gazed down at the figure of the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable.

His left hand reached down, and from inside the wide sleeve, clusters of stars seemed to float outwards.

But all the pure spiritual light emanated from within the starry sky and gathered on his palm, making his five slender fingers appear even brighter.

The starry sky is like chess pieces, arranged in a grand magic array.

A chaotic array of colors and spiritual light gathered in one palm.

A magnificent and fantastical glow of blue, green, and red flowed across the palm—no, it should be said that these colorful luminescences filled the outline of the palm.

The five fingers are of different lengths, and the middle finger droops down first, seemingly touching the sword of the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable.

In an instant, the finger seemed to evaporate. Both Guan Luoyang's own magical energy and the Eternal Flame mixed in with it were dispelled by that sword strike.

Compared to the slow movement of the middle finger, the other four fingers suddenly struck the sword like lightning wrapped in rich colors.

Without a doubt, those four fingers were also destroyed by the sword light.

The sword slashed upwards, severing the iridescent hand, splitting open the wide sleeves, and destroying the very source of billions of stars.

"What a fine sword!!"

Guan Luoyang's figure drifted away, followed by a series of laughs. His left sleeve was indeed torn, and although his hand was not destroyed, there was a sword mark on his palm, and his five fingers were covered in blood.

"If you had used a sword like this as your first move, I might not have even had time to break through before you had to send me running for my life."

Immortal Venerable Yongzhou snorted coldly, traversing billions of voids, and pursued with his sword.

Over the years, although he had submitted to Li Changling, deep down he still harbored a hidden sense of pride.

Therefore, he rarely used the "Sword of Pure Intent and Supreme Light," which he originally created to target Li Changling, especially not to those with lower cultivation levels than himself, as he felt it would be a disrespectful use of this great supernatural power.

If Guan Luoyang hadn't displayed techniques after his breakthrough that were 80% similar to those of Li Changling back then, the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable would probably have used other methods before finally employing this sword technique.

However, just as he leaped out of the vast void, he suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery and orientation had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"It's a formation!!"

Immortal Venerable Yongzhou was on high alert and swept his sword horizontally.

After a flash of divine light, countless celestial palaces within his sensing range were all severed by a single sword mark.

The parts of the palaces above the sword marks were all destroyed and disappeared. Only the parts below the sword marks, because they were connected to the foundation and the root of the great formation of the "Li Huo Miao Yan Palace", were not destroyed.

The neat, densely packed palace ruins resembled black duckweed covering a vast, calm sea, exuding an astonishingly cold and austere atmosphere.

Although the main body of Guan Luoyang's great divine power was severed, the dark void he spread out contained the flames of eternal calamity. It could be dispelled but not easily destroyed, so the framework of the formation remained intact. It then connected with the Li Huo Miao Yan Palace, producing subtle changes.

This most important heavenly palace, belonging to the Heavenly Court's Pill Department, cannot be easily destroyed by violent means, even by the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable.

Otherwise, he would have destroyed the Heavenly Palace Formation and taken away all the divine fire long ago, and wouldn't have been caught by the Great Sage Bo Niu, and then driven back by the Patriarch Shan Long, creating obstacles and a stalemate.

"Damn it, Shanlong tried to scheme against that person, but was outsmarted instead. Now he's actually teaming up with him?!"

The Eternal Day Immortal looked up and sensed the commotion of the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire and the great holy lords clashing. He swung his sword, piercing through layers of palaces, and rushed over.

Immortal Venerable Yongzhou was unaware that he had misunderstood Patriarch Shanlong.

When Guan Luoyang activated the Heavenly Palace Grand Array, Master Shanlong subconsciously wanted to manipulate the array to obstruct it.

Unexpectedly, the Fuxi Formation newly set up by Guan Luoyang did not correspond to the intact part of the Heavenly Palace Formation at all, but rather to the traces of destruction within the Heavenly Palace Formation.

The Good Dragon Ancestor could control the original Heavenly Palace Formation, but he could not control these locations that had been destroyed by various holy lords.

Especially now, the Seven Elders of Yanbo and sixteen other Holy Lords, who were ordered by the Eternal Day Immortal Venerable, are fighting against the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire with all their might.

The supernatural power they unleashed was actually absorbed by the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire and then transferred by Guan Luoyang to mobilize the traces left by these Holy Lords in various parts of the Heavenly Palace.

"How could this be? How could he wield the Eternal Flame with such ease and control?!"

Master Shanlong was utterly shocked. "Such mastery of formations, such divine fire power—could it be that the human race had planned for the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire all along?"

The moment he thought of this, many hesitations arose in his heart.

The Heavenly Court's Pill Department used to be the most well-connected and had the most comfortable cultivation experience, but after this great calamity broke out prematurely and the Heavenly Realm became unbalanced, he realized this.

The Dan tribe used to be so arrogant, how could they have any stable allies?

The four divisions of Fire Plague Mountain and Water have already joined forces, clearly indicating that they are going against the Dan Division.

If he offends the human race, who are currently in the Southern Boundary Sea, his situation during the great calamity will likely become even more difficult.

After weighing the options, Patriarch Shanlong suddenly went along with the formation set up by Guan Luoyang and mobilized the power of the Heavenly Palace Formation.

Bo Niu Dasheng was the first to become alert. He glanced at Guan Luoyang, then at Shanlong Zushi, and suddenly grabbed the four holy masters who had not yet made a move, preparing to escape.

Of the four, three were indeed Demon Lords, and thus had some connection with the Great Wilderness Old World. However, when he caught the fourth one, his expression became slightly subtle, and he used a backhand palm to blast the man away.

The man's robes came undone, revealing his true form, but he was recognized by Patriarch Shanlong as a Holy Master of his Dan Department.

These holy lords were forced by powerful outsiders to give up many treasures. Presumably, they were unwilling to accept this, so they changed their ways and took advantage of the chaos to plunder those heavenly palaces and divine structures.

Bo Niu Dasheng leaped away, and Guan Luoyang did not stop him. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to escape the Heavenly Palace Formation, three beams of light suddenly flew up from the chaos.

Those were none other than the three Holy Lords: Jiang Cheng, Qiu Hua, and Xiao Ran.

Before Guan Luoyang was about to make his move, he used his spiritual light to inform them to guard outside the great formation, intending not to be a burden to them. He did not expect that the three of them would choose this moment to make their move.

What's even more amazing is that the moment these three beams of light approached the Great Sage Bo Niu, they suddenly transformed into eighteen figures.

The aura of the Lord of the Holy Land was quite different from that of the Five Turbid Emperors.

Although the lord of a holy land can use various means to disguise himself and obscure his own characteristics, making it impossible for others to determine his exact identity, he cannot completely conceal himself in front of a powerful person of the same level.

Therefore, generally speaking, even if multiple Holy Land Lords are hiding within the body of a Holy Land Lord, when encountering a powerful expert of the same realm, one can immediately discern their exact number and should be on high alert or simply flee far away.

However, few people know that in the last ten thousand years, the Celestial Venerable Mufeng has been painstakingly studying the "Suwen" classic of the Xuanyuan Holy Land lineage and has created a new top-secret chapter.

If there were six Holy Land Lords, all of whom had cultivated this top-secret chapter, and at least one of them had mastered the Six Palaces Secret Technique to the point of "Complete Six Palaces", then...

Then the other five people can hide inside this person's body, their aura completely invisible, their Daoist techniques consistent, utterly empty and tranquil, without the slightest flaw.

The combined attack of the eighteen Holy Lords was quite overwhelming, even for a mid-level Heavenly Venerable. He tore a sleeve and had to withstand several divine powers on his back before he could hastily flee.

"this……"

Upon witnessing this scene, Patriarch Shanlong became even more certain of his suspicions. He hurriedly called out to Guan Luoyang, "Fellow Daoist, if we join forces to trap Yongzhou and capture these powerful bandits, my Dan Department will surely reward you handsomely. The Eternal Calamity Divine Fire is the deposit!"
