Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 261: Absolute Transcendence

"After parting for over a million years and achieving true Yuanshi, I caught up to the pace of you Fellow Daoists, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still haven't truly caught up to the pace of you Fellow Daoists."

In a palace within the Heavenly Court, Jiangnan, who had obtained all of the 'Dao' and become Yuanshi, was enveloped in perfect Dao light, speaking with a slight sigh.

Now, after Jiangnan achieved Yuanshi, he has formed his own Dao, completely transcending the Dao. Even if he intervenes in matters within the Dao, he will not suffer any backlash!

In the vast palaces of the Heavenly Court, there were strong individuals from various outer lands. They, or rather, They, were exchanging ideas here.

"Just slightly ahead. With Fellow Daoist's comprehension, you will catch up quickly," Ye Fan said with a smile.

Facts proved that his judgment back then was not wrong. This Primal Beginning Heavenly Venerate, after achieving Yuanshi, was indeed incredibly powerful, equivalent to having his own 'Dao'.

Saying this, Ye Fan looked at Meng Qi and said, "Old fellow villager, this is Jiangnan, Jiang Zichuan. Like you, he is also a 'Primal Beginning Heavenly Venerate' who recreated an era. Speaking of which, you two are quite similar."

The ending on the One World side didn't change much. The Three Pure Ones achieved Dao Fruit and then disappeared without a trace. Meng Qi, as the new Primal Beginning Heavenly Venerate, recreated the era and reopened the heavens.

After recreating the era, after careful consideration and analysis, Meng Qi believed that he carried too much on his shoulders, and transcending through the method of 'making deductions to seek emptiness' was almost impossible.

Decisively, after verifying the Dao of the Three Pure Ones, he embarked on the path of an Immortal Emperor, cultivated in seclusion in Fang Ming's All Heavens World, discussed the Dao with others, and finally formed his own Dao.

Of course, this doesn't mean he has obtained all of the 'Dao'. Even a slight difference in such matters is equivalent to infinity.

Now, after seeing the realms of Ye Fan, Fang Ming, Shi Hao, and others, he understood that this path was definitely not bad, even if it couldn't reach the final achievement.

That realm of true Sacrifice Dao is also a level that cannot be conceived, discussed, measured, or observed.

At this time, Fang Ming's All Heavens World had clearly become the center of the connected All Heavens, and powerful existences frequently resided here.

There were simply too many strong individuals here!

Meng Qi looked at Jiangnan and felt that this person before him had a feeling similar to when his Yuanshi teacher achieved Dao Fruit back then, that sense of true perfection, that feeling called 'Dao Fruit'.

However, there seemed to be a slightly different feeling, but it was undoubtedly the complete 'Dao', the feeling of having obtained all of the Dao.

"Is it because the method of attaining the Dao was different, resulting in a different Dao Fruit, and therefore the accompanying divine abilities are also different...?" Meng Qi thought to himself.

"Haha..."

Jiangnan and Meng Qi exchanged glances, both smiling, and simultaneously raised their teacups to toast each other.

After chatting with Meng Qi for a while, Jiangnan came to Ye Fan and the others, saying, "I originally thought that after achieving Yuanshi and forming my own Dao, I could lend a hand to you Fellow Daoists, but now it seems Zichuan was just wishful thinking."

After he emerged from seclusion and entered this All Heavens World, upon finding Ye Fan and others, the matter he inquired about was that of the enemy.

However, after seeing the countless Original Lands, and the countless Plateaus of Disaster within them, Jiangnan shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't handle this matter himself, at least not now.

"Fellow Daoist's intention is enough," Ye Fan said, not minding. "Fellow Daoist can rest assured; you can leave this matter to us."

Listening to Ye Fan's words, Jiangnan sighed. He knew that he might not actually be able to catch up for that final battle.

Sacrifice Dao requires waiting for that feeling; it's not something to be done haphazardly. Even though he had obtained all of the 'Dao', he didn't dare to act rashly. There was no precedent, and no one knew what would happen.

Moreover, if he couldn't truly Sacrifice Dao next, the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits that had obtained all of the 'Dao' that he could carry would ultimately be limited, and he wouldn't be able to launch that final assault.

Relatively speaking, he had only just become known as 'Yuanshi', an Immortal Emperor who obtained all of the 'Dao'. It might take some time for him to grasp that feeling.

Even he himself couldn't be sure when he would be able to grasp that feeling.

But it was certain that as long as one embarked on this path, as long as one was an Immortal Emperor, one would be able to clearly understand what that feeling was about.

The reason Jiangnan came here was precisely to enter the outer lands that were also beyond the Dao for him, via Fang Ming's All Heavens World, either to expand the scope of his Yuanshi Dao Fruit or to cultivate more Dao Fruits from other outer lands that had obtained all of the 'Dao'.

This small gathering didn't last too long. The strong individuals from various outer lands had just passed through here by chance and stayed to chat a bit after meeting.

Now, they were either going to enter other outer lands to capture information about the outer Dao, or they were going to travel through the worlds within those outer Dao.

After the people dispersed, Fang Ming opened his status panel.

Host: Fang Ming

Race: ? (You can no longer be defined.)

Cultivation: Relative Transcender (Incredible, you have relatively surpassed a portion of the complete 'Dao'.)

All Heavens World Gate Opening Time: Infinite opening at any time. (Given your current strength, the panel no longer imposes any restrictions on you.)

"If there is Relative Transcendence, then there is 'Absolute Transcendence'." Fang Ming looked at the increasingly simple status panel and immediately understood something.

Relative Transcendence means only surpassing a portion of the complete and perfect 'Dao'. Then Absolute Transcendence must be surpassing everything, where the 'Dao' contained within, no matter how many All Heavens World Gates he opens, will all be below that.

"Is the level above Sacrifice Dao 'Absolute Transcendence'?" Fang Ming thought this.

The various characteristics above Sacrifice Dao indeed somewhat fit the meaning of the so-called 'Absolute Transcendence'.

However, those at lower levels always find it difficult to imagine the existence at higher levels. Whether this is truly the case, Fang Ming could only think about it and wait for future verification.

Finally, Fang Ming's gaze fell upon the last item, and he thought to himself, "In other words, the previous restrictions were actually a form of protection!"

At Fang Ming's current level, as the number of times he truly Sacrifices Dao increases, the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits that have obtained all of the 'Dao' that he can carry also becomes increasingly terrifying.

At that point, the speed at which the All Heavens World Gates open would instead restrict their growth. Now that there are no restrictions, it is a great thing.

The restrictions on the All Heavens World Gate were lifted, and a large number of All Heavens World Gates opened. Fang Ming, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, Hen Ren, Wu Shi, and others who had truly stepped into Sacrifice Dao and entered the 'Relative Transcendence' level captured the information of the outer Dao from the outer lands.

They split into countless avatars and began cultivating.

Striving to achieve the leap from Dao Ancestor to Immortal Emperor in the shortest possible time, thereby making the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits that have obtained all of the 'Dao' reach an unattainable level.

Over three million years passed, and Shi Hao was the first to reach that step. Using his Shi Hao's, he divided into countless avatars and placed them in countless outer lands, recalling them on this day.

Countless Shi Haos, who had obtained all of the 'Dao' and thus formed their own Dao to become Immortal Emperors, walked over and merged into the indescribable, incomprehensible, unobservable full moon above his head.

This was not his main body's Dao Fruit, but Dao Fruits cultivated by his avatars, which had long since merged into his main body and were now manifesting externally.

What appeared to be a perfect full moon was actually countless Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits that had obtained all of the 'Dao'.

At this moment, within that truly perfect, indescribable full moon, countless Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits that had obtained all of the 'Dao' reflected off each other, undergoing wondrous changes.

Finite-level Dao Fruits at this moment transformed into infinite-level Dao Fruits, then were unified. After unification, they increased by an unimaginable multiple; after this, infinite Dao Fruits of the same level were generated again, and then merged, becoming an even stronger one...

This was an endless cycle, repeating over and over, a never-ending cycle, like the cycle of an Immortal Emperor's birth in the past.

The entire process was very peaceful, with no terrifying aura leaking out. Everything seemed to happen naturally.

It was also possible that the current Shi Hao had not yet truly taken the final step, which was also the most violent step.

If one had to describe it, the current state had already accommodated everything; it was the ultimate 'existence'.

Although the people present could feel that there was no terrifying aura, they understood that the current Shi Hao was different from before.

But everyone understood that the current Shi Hao was different, possessing both the ultimate 'existence' and relative 'non-existence'.

The next step, and also the final step, was to launch the most violent impact. If successful, that would be complete transcendence of 'existence' and 'non-existence', surpassing everything.

Soon, Shi Hao opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, and said calmly, "Like Sacrifice Dao, the final step also requires an opportunity."

One Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit that had obtained all of the Dao was terrifyingly fierce when Sacrificing Dao. Now, Sacrificing Dao with this unattainable number of them all at once would likely be terrifying beyond imagination!

Saying this, he looked at the original Original Land and said, "Now it can be confirmed that the Plateau of Disaster indeed retains the power of a true transcender."

"Even if the opportunity arrives, for the final step, we must also drag that Ertu along with us on the journey to break through." Shi Hao said to Fang Ming, speaking with slight apology, "Fellow Daoist, we previously agreed to help you devour the Highland, but now it seems we might have to break our promise."

At their level, what they saw could be one, and naturally could also be infinite.

If they were determined, these countless Original Lands and all the Weird Plateaus would be dragged along with them on the journey.

"But it's not necessarily so." At this point, Shi Hao continued, saying, "We have Sacrificed Dao countless times. We will try our best to eliminate the pollution from that power that surpasses everything. Fellow Daoist can seize the opportunity to act."

"No need to worry. After many true Sacrifice Daos, we also possess some similar power. After defeating that consciousness, you can devour it," Shi Hao said solemnly.

"No matter, you all just go through the breakthrough. Devouring the Highland is not the focus," Fang Ming said, not caring at all.

He just wanted to see if Hen Ren and Wu Shi could succeed.

As for Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng, these three are not important. Anyway, no matter how these three mess around, they will succeed.

Not long after Shi Hao reached this step, Ye Fan also reached this step.

Closely following, Hen Ren also reached this step, and then Fang Ming, Wu Shi, and Liu Shen also reached this level.

Finally, during the hundreds of thousands of years waiting for the opportunity, Chu Feng also reached this step.

After Fang Ming reached this step, his long-stagnant All Heavens World further evolved.
