Chapter 1364 A New Path

"How dare you!"

Beside him, a Golden Crow guard at the Overlord Realm shouted at him.

"It's alright." Elder Jinwu didn't seem to mind, but looked at Su Ping with some surprise and said, "You want to observe my universe? If you want to cultivate to an immortal universe, there is a universal path that doesn't require this much trouble."

"But I want to try a different path," Su Ping said.

As the system previously mentioned, there are cultivation methods to be taught in the Undying Universe Realm. Although this realm is higher than the Dao Heart Realm, the difference is that the difficulty of this realm lies in the cultivation method, while the difficulty of the Dao Heart Realm lies in comprehension.

There are countless kinds of Daoist minds, but the cultivation method for an immortal universe is the same.

That is to merge and unify the endless Great Dao within the universe! When the Great Dao returns to oneness, the universe becomes the Great Dao, and the Great Dao becomes the universe.

But the Great Dao... cannot be destroyed.

Many overlords fail to become ancestral gods because the Dao they originally comprehended was too complex. When integrating and unifying it, they could not find the order of the Dao and the core of the unified Dao.

This requires endless time to reintegrate one's own combat power. Some overlords often overturn themselves during the reintegration process. After all, this kind of reintegration is different from cultivating an avatar to start over. Instead, it is about overthrowing everything that was once yours and then building a unique and new path from everything that was broken.

"Do you want to try a different approach?"

Elder Jinwu found Su Ping's words amusing and said, "Child, this is different from the Dao Heart Realm. The Dao Heart Realm cannot be taught and must be comprehended by oneself. However, the Undying Universe Realm is unified. There is no shortcut or method other than merging with the Great Dao."

"I'm not looking for shortcuts; I'm hoping to find a stronger path..." Su Ping said. "Maybe there isn't, but I want to give it a try."

The Golden Crow Elder's smile vanished as he stared intently at Su Ping. "Why do you believe there's a stronger path?"

"Because I think there are many ways to reach the end at any time, just like in life, no success or failure can determine one's entire life," Su Ping said.

"But that is a superficial life," said the Golden Crow Elder. "The Great Dao returns to oneness; this is the only way. Even the ancestors of all races could not think of a better way."

"But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Su Ping said.

The Golden Crow Elder fell silent.

Looking at the determined and ardent young man before him, he suddenly seemed to understand many things. He wondered why the young man had been able to leap forward in combat power in such a short time, and now he had completely surpassed the ancestral bloodline princess of their clan, Di Qiong.

Once, the two were evenly matched, with Emperor Qiong even being stronger.

But now Su Ping has left them far behind.

"Should I call you ignorant or arrogant...?" Elder Jinwu chuckled softly and said, "But I like it. Maybe you really can find another way, although the hope is almost zero. But I also want to participate. Not only me, but I will also let the other old guys visit their universes later."

Su Ping was taken aback, then quickly said, "Thank you, Elder!"

"It's nothing. If you really make a breakthrough, we will have opened up a new path for you. You may even become a Primordial Realm being that was not born of heaven and earth..." Elder Jinwu said with a smile.

These words caused the pupils of the Golden Crow guards beside them to shrink, and they looked at the little one in front of them with some shock. They did not expect that the Grand Elder had such high expectations for this human.

The Primordial Ancestor is a realm that is born of heaven and earth and cannot be achieved through cultivation. The little one in front of us actually has a sliver of hope that he can become a Primordial Ancestor.

Even the slightest glimmer of hope is terrifying!

"Elder, you flatter me. Let's begin," Su Ping said with a smile, remaining calm and composed.

Elder Jinwu nodded slightly.

During this time, he witnessed Su Ping's growth. Once upon a time, Su Ping was just an ant that he could wipe out a million times with a breath, but now, Su Ping has caught up with him.

Soon, the Golden Crow Elder released his universe and pulled Su Ping into it.

"Elder, please do your best without any worries," Su Ping said.

Elder Jinwu nodded slightly. He also knew that there was a mysterious entity behind Su Ping who could protect him from death.

Soon, the power within the universe surged forth like a raging torrent. Su Ping immediately felt the entire universe pressing down on him. This universe was completely unified, possessing a power entirely different from the universe of the Dao Heart Realm.

Although the Dao Heart Realm unifies the power of all the Daos in the universe through the Dao Heart of the Universe, these powers are ultimately scattered. Some of the weaker Daos will be neutralized, just like a person being hit by a thousand hands. The Undying Universe Realm, on the other hand, concentrates the power of a thousand hands into one palm.

This power increases by tens or even hundreds of times.

Therefore, there is an insurmountable gap between the Ancestral God Realm and the God Emperor Realm!

At this moment, as the Golden Crow Elder's cosmic power exerted pressure, Su Ping sensed the cosmic characteristics within it. When the Great Dao merged with the Great Dao, these characteristics gradually manifested, revealing themselves to be a Great Dao akin to annihilation, which annihilated all the Great Daos surrounding Su Ping into ashes, including Su Ping's life force.

"This is the Great Dao after the merger. It is impossible to resist. It is thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than the single perfect Great Dao..." Su Ping felt this power. He was like an insect under some kind of heavy machinery, being crushed down, powerless to push or resist.

"The great avenues are linked together as one, the Tao transforms the universe, and the universe is immortal..."

"If a single Dao could reach the strength of merging with the Great Dao, the universe would reach an even greater level..."

Su Ping's body was resisting with all its might, but his mind was exceptionally calm. Although he was in excruciating pain all over his body, he had an inhuman will, as if all this pain was happening to someone else.

His mind remained sharp, and even in the moment of destruction between life and death, he was still pondering the direction of his spiritual practice.

Soon, Su Ping's body vanished.

But soon, Su Ping revived on the spot.

The Golden Crow Elder narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, but said nothing.

"Cultivating a single Dao to perfection is the limit. Only by merging with the Great Dao can one continue to strengthen, blending the characteristics of countless Great Daos, and ultimately achieving complete unity!"

"How can we further elevate the Great Dao without merging with it?"

Su Ping sensed the characteristics of the universe around him. He summoned his own divine and demonic universe to try to resist, but in just an instant, his universe shattered like an eggshell, followed by the tearing apart of deep space within the universe.

Looking at the fragmented universe, Su Ping was slightly stunned.

Soon, Su Ping was revived.

This time, he continued to invoke his own universe.

As he watched the universe shatter piece by piece once again, a certain light seemed to flicker in Su Ping's eyes.

Death, resurrection, a call to the universe.

Su Ping repeated this behavior as if he were possessed.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had died in battle over a hundred times, while the Golden Crow Elder's body remained unmoved. With just the power of the universe, he could easily annihilate Su Ping; the two were not on the same level.

Despite this, his gaze was very serious, and he did not underestimate Su Ping.

Strictly speaking, Su Ping was two realms below him, but he had a feeling that the little guy in front of him would catch up with him soon, and might even surpass him in the future!

"Deep space..."

"universe……"

Su Ping muttered to himself, a flash of inspiration bursting forth in his mind, and an idea sprouted in his mind.

If the universe is divided into layers, and each layer is merged with the Great Dao, wouldn't that create an immortal universe? And multiple immortal universes at that!

Su Ping thought of the vast universe outside.

The universe they cultivated was always imitating the behavior of the larger universe.

Life takes the changes of the universe and nature as its guide; this has been the norm since ancient times.

The universe and the heavens are naturally formed, yet they are like a finely crafted work of art, with everything in perfect order, all maintained by the operation of countless great principles.

There are nine layers in the deep space of the universe, each layer being a separate universe.

"If one cultivates by dividing the universe into layers, perhaps it is possible to cultivate multiple immortal universes..."

Su Ping became increasingly certain. He acted on his thought immediately, sending a ceasefire request to the Golden Crow Elder. Then, disregarding everything else, he sat in meditation within the Golden Crow Elder's universe, releasing his own divine and demonic universe and dividing it into layers.

The stratification of the universe is extremely simple; Su Ping can complete it with a single thought.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ping began to refine myriad paths within the first layer of the universe.

Having previously cultivated multiple small worlds, Su Ping's first universe was the Star Dao.

Thousands of paths converge like stars, and flowers bloom into fragments.

As he put it into practice, Su Ping soon encountered a problem. To merge and unify the Great Dao, he had to approach regeneration. The universe would also be like this. When it approached regeneration, the universe would return from its peak to its embryonic form. In this process, the universe could no longer maintain its layered structure.

Simply put, when the first layer of the immortal universe is condensed, his layered universe will completely collapse and condense again, which will be the new immortal universe.

In this case, it is the same as other immortal universe realms, which are all common paths.

"Over the endless years, there must have been others who had the same idea as me, but failed. It turns out they were stuck here..." Su Ping felt a little discouraged and wanted to give up. It wasn't that he lacked willpower, but that after calculating everything, he found a fundamental flaw and could only choose the normal path.

"Unless, there is some way to allow the Great Dao to transcend the constraints of perfection, without needing to go through the process of fusion..."

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and suddenly, he remembered a strange scene he had seen through the Golden Crow Ancestor.

In the depths of the universe, there seem to be corpse-like entities floating in the deep space, and the Great Dao, like worms, floats out from these corpses.

At the same time, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

Everything can be cultivated!

With a loud bang, Su Ping felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.

All things... this is a general term, including the universe, so the Great Dao is naturally included as well!

The Great Dao... can also be cultivated!

In an instant, Su Ping felt a shiver run through his body. The system had actually told him about the path to the pinnacle from the very beginning!

"All things can be nurtured, including the Great Dao. However, nurturing the Great Dao is not the same as fusion. If we regard the Great Dao as life, then my contract Dao Heart can be formed. In addition to feeding the pets rare and precious herbs, pet masters can also transfer their own power to the pets through a contract if they want to nurture them."

"However, very few people use this method because it consumes too much of the master's cultivation. Not many people are willing to do it. After all, when raising a pet, one can find a breeder to increase their experience, but the master's own cultivation can only be achieved by themselves. One can be solved by spending money, while the other requires time. Cultivation is essentially a battle against time..."

Su Ping took a deep breath. He suddenly felt the terror of the system. The stronger he became, the more he feared the system. It was a terrifying existence that he still could not understand.

Even if the system is a cheat, it still exists in this universe, within this world, and must have its origin.

"System, oh system, what exactly are you? What is your purpose?" Su Ping muttered to himself. After a moment, he received no response and didn't think about it any further. He knew that once he upgraded the shop to level 9, all the answers would be revealed.

"How is it? Have you come up with any ideas?" The Golden Crow Elder looked at Su Ping, who was undergoing enlightenment in his cultivation, and asked softly with a smile when Su Ping opened his eyes.

Su Ping nodded slightly and said, "We have a direction now."

"Um?"

Elder Jinwu was somewhat surprised. He had only asked casually, but Su Ping actually had an idea.

It should be noted that, apart from the general method, even the progenitor did not provide a second method of cultivation.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao!" Su Ping said with a smile, then closed his eyes. He no longer tried to merge with the Great Tao. In fact, he felt that merging with the Great Tao might be a wrong way of cultivation. After all, the Great Tao is unique and independent, and each Great Tao has its irreplaceable characteristics.

However, fusing the Great Dao weakens their characteristics and combines them into a completely new characteristic, which is a different kind of destruction of the Great Dao.

"contract!"

Su Ping used the power of his Dao Heart to sign a Great Dao, the Flame Dao.

This was Su Ping's first perfected Great Dao, and now Su Ping chose it again to become the first Great Dao he wanted to cultivate.

As soon as the contract was signed, Su Ping felt that Yan Dao and he were much closer, and he could feel the intimacy emanating from him.

It's like an illusion, appearing and disappearing, yet feeling incredibly real.

Su Ping was somewhat excited. He felt that his idea was correct. Soon, he transferred the power in his body to the Flame Path, using the method of nurturing battle pets.

Soon, Su Ping's body erupted with intense flames, and the surrounding void began to burn. The void, which was clearly devoid of any combustible elements, was incinerated into raging flames.

Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at the burning flames. His brows furrowed slightly. The Flame Dao had indeed been strengthened, but the intensity was not enough. He felt that the power he had sent through the Flame Dao had only passed through it and had not been retained or absorbed by it.

"If this continues, it will just be simple reinforcement, which cannot be considered growth at all."

Su Ping's eyes flashed. "The Great Daos are merging and growing. Could it be that they need to be supplied with the power of other Great Daos to help them grow?"

Thinking of this, Su Ping looked at himself. There were 108 Dao characters in his Primordial Chaos Body. Su Ping had already deciphered them all. These 108 Primordial Dao characters had a strong attraction to each other. When they were all deciphered, they would instinctively merge with each other.

Once truly fused, it will form an extremely powerful Dao script.

Or rather, these 108 Dao characters are themselves a form of disassembling the Great Dao.
