Desolate Heaven Emperor Demonstrates the Dao

"Time Passes" is a supreme move created by the Wu Shi the Great.

It contains the mysteries of time, and can manifest the River of Time to obliterate opponents.

This is an ultimate and terrifying move, and in this world where immortality is impossible, it is the natural enemy of everyone.

"No, even in a world where immortality is possible, this move would be enough to wipe out countless people!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, and a sudden realization flashed through his mind.

There are two main methods to achieve immortality.

First, it relies on external Longevity Substance; second, it generates Longevity Substance itself.

For those who rely on external Longevity Substance, this move can also obliterate their opponents, because with one strike, the opponent simply doesn't have time to absorb enough Longevity Substance to maintain their vitality; and for those who generate their own Longevity Substance, this move can also prevent them from replenishing their Longevity Substance in time...

"The Great Dao of Time is truly awe-inspiring..." Zhou Tong thought to himself, while his longing for the "Wushi Scripture" grew even stronger.

"Time is limited now, and we can't comprehend the 'Time Passes' technique for the time being. Let's take a look at the past of the Enlightenment Tea Tree first!" Zhou Tong immediately adjusted the Reincarnation Mirror and pointed it at the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"Om!"

In an instant, the previous Lifetime of the Enlightenment Tea manifested.

It was a huge ancient tree, much larger than the Enlightenment Tea Tree we see now. It was quietly rooted on a mountain, its trunk thick and much larger than the Enlightenment Tea Tree we see now, its old bark cracked like dragon scales, and spread out. This tree was very ancient, and no one knew how many years it had lived.

"This is the previous Lifetime of the Enlightenment Tea? What a joke, it's actually from the Immortal Ancient Era or Chaotic Ancient Era?" Zhou Tong's pupils shrank, revealing a look of shock.

He could clearly see that there were as many as three thousand tea leaves on that Enlightenment Tea Tree!

The three thousand Enlightenment Tea, along with their enormous size, clearly represent the scene when the Enlightenment Tea Tree was still in Otherworld.

"This Enlightenment Tea Tree has never undergone a rebirth since it was downgraded. It has just come this far. This is simply too amazing!" Zhou Tong was shocked.

As far as he knew, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had once cut down the trunk of the Enlightenment Tea to make a coffin, Qilin Ancient Emperor and the Wu Shi the Great had also transplanted the Enlightenment Tea tree from the Undying Mountain, which almost caused the Enlightenment Tea Tree to die.

So this Enlightenment Tea Tree has never undergone Nirvana all these years? It has stubbornly survived here thanks to its tenacious vitality?

"I understand. The Enlightenment Tea has only three incarnations. The Lifetime was the complete Enlightenment Tea, which ranked third among all longevity medicines in the Enlightenment Tea Immortal Ancient Era. The second incarnation was after the Enlightenment Tea was divided and took root in Otherworld Lifetime. The third Lifetime was after it was downgraded from Longevity Immortal Medicine to Immortal Divine Medicine!"

Zhou Tong's gaze toward the Enlightenment Tea Tree seemed a little off.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree only has three generations, so how do we find useful information about it?

Lifetime spans millions or even tens of millions of years!

"I remember that if we're talking about the great changes in the world, the last owner of the Enlightenment Tea in its Lifetime was... the Desolate Heaven Emperor!!" Upon thinking of this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but breathe rapidly, feeling very excited.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree was originally rooted in Otherworld. Later, after the Desolate Heaven Emperor became an immortal, he went to the Otherworld and caused trouble, taking the Enlightenment Tea Tree away.

Throughout history, every great Great Emperor has possessed an Immortal Divine Medicine by his side. Following this rule, this Enlightenment Tea Tree must be the divine elixir of the Desolate Heaven Emperor!

No, when the Desolate Heaven Emperor obtained it, it was still a celestial medicine, a celestial medicine that had not been downgraded!

Zhou Tong immediately checked the estimated timeline.

He browsed at an extremely fast speed, covering tens of thousands of years in an instant.

"I saw it!!"

Finally, Zhou Tong saw a "familiar" figure, the Dao Body he had seen when he was learning the Chaotic Ancient Method — the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Not far away, there Dao Body. The most conspicuous were a white-clad man whose figure looked somewhat ethereal, an extremely lewd-looking fat old man, a puppy, and a blond man who looked extremely arrogant.

It was a huge palace, where the Desolate Heaven Emperor was sitting, drinking tea and chatting with the old fat man, the puppy, and the blond man.

"These guys, could they be Cao Yusheng, Wu Zhong's dogs, and Sky Horn Ant?" Zhou Tong judged their identities from their demeanor.

The identities of the lewd old fat man and the puppy were easy to discern, but the arrogant blond man, mainly due to his arrogant demeanor, was on good terms with the Desolate Heaven Emperor and sat not far from him. With such an aura, he could only be the Sky Horn Ant.

Then, Zhou Tong's gaze shifted to a large cauldron not far away. Inside the cauldron, half a strange beast was being simmered, the broth flowing with a seven-colored divine glow.

The beast's head was not visible; only half of its body was visible. This half of the body resembled that of a lion, entirely crimson red, without fur, but instead covered in barbs pointing upwards.

"Time Beast? Could this thing be... the Red King!?" Zhou Tong was stunned, not expecting that this scene could be reproduced.

"I see, so it was this period, the period before the Desolate Heaven Emperor broke through to the Immortal King realm!"

After becoming an immortal, the Desolate Heaven Emperor went to Otherworld and caused trouble. He not only took away the Enlightenment Tea Tree, but also took half of the Red King's body away when it was undergoing its transformation. The stewed half of the body that Zhou Tong sees now is the Red King.

Zhou Tong quickly determined the time and then watched with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.

Over the next few decades, Zhou Tong observed very carefully.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree was planted by the Desolate Heaven Emperor in the main hall of the Heavenly Court. Although the Desolate Heaven Emperor was not seen fighting outside, he was sitting cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tea Tree when he was comprehending the Dao.

Zhou Tong's mind was completely immersed in the scene displayed by the Reincarnation Mirror, quietly watching the Desolate Heaven Emperor dismantle the Ten Evils Treasure Art, various Heavenly Techniques, and the Immortal Sutra.

He watched as the Desolate Heaven Emperor dismantled all the techniques he had learned along the way, and then gradually integrated them into his own knowledge.

In just a few decades, Zhou Tong had come to understand that the Desolate Heaven Emperor no longer possessed the specific Heavenly Merit Treasure Technique, but had instead sublimated and integrated everything into his own unique style and techniques.

He used the Sky Shrouding Method to encompass all his Heavenly Merit Treasure Technique!

"Damn, I've always wanted to recreate the various treasure techniques in the form of the Sky Shrouding Method, but I didn't expect to see the final answer before I even started the deduction!!" Zhou Tong was speechless.

Zhou Tong witnessed the yin-yang fusion of the Kunpeng Treasure Art, the prototype and creation process of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, the life-and-death mysteries of the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, the Nirvana principle of the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art, and so on...

Zhou Tong was completely captivated by the scenes of enlightenment that spanned these few decades. He repeatedly used the power of the Reincarnation Mirror to watch these scenes one after another, and eventually even imprinted them into his mind.

Although it was only two days in reality, Zhou Tong received far too much from the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

These things even surpassed the sum of everything he had previously observed using the Reincarnation Mirror; they were truly astonishing!

This was the last seclusion that the Desolate Heaven Emperor underwent before attempting to break through to the Immortal King realm. He completely dismantled all the Dao and Dharma he had learned in his life, and Zhou Tong also obtained countless Dao and Dharma in the process of dismantling them.

Besides the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art, Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, Kunpeng Treasure Art, and Grass Character Sword Art that he already possessed, there were also the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art, Willow God Method, Mysterious Tortoise Method Technique, Vermilion Bird Method, Scattered Buddha Eight Forms, Hand of the Upper Realm, Reincarnation Treasure Art, Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit, the Heavenly Art of the Demon Ape Clan, and the Immortal Sutra...

"This is incredible..." These were the only three words in Zhou Tong's mind as he came to his senses.

This scene was as if the Desolate Heaven Emperor himself was demonstrating the profound mysteries of the Great Dao to Zhou Tong, and even the mysteries of his entire life. Such an opportunity was something even the Desolate Heaven Emperor's disciples could never obtain.

Even the mutual evolution of Dao Pattern and runes, which Zhou Tong had always hoped would elevate the "Nine Secrets: Dou" level of the Nine Secrets, directly revealed its final answer. The changes in Dao Pattern and runes were almost completely resolved in the Desolate Heaven Emperor's demonstration.

Moreover, there are countless things that are difficult to understand during this performance, but as long as you keep this scene firmly in mind and constantly contemplate it, you will always gain something.

Even Mortal Immortal and Immortal King would gain a great deal from seeing such a scene.

After all, this was the last time the Desolate Heaven Emperor would comprehend the Dao and demonstrate the Dharma before breaking through to the Immortal King realm; this was the ultimate profound mystery below the Immortal King level.
