Chapter 35

When the complete Great Dao Laws reach three thousand in number, they can coalesce into Great Dao Law Divine Chains, and the refinement of these chains has no limit.

Only when the Great Dao Divine Chains also reach three thousand in number can one form a Pillar of Great Dao Laws like the Yellow Old Lord's.

But this is clearly far from the endpoint of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

In the current Primordial World, aside from the unknown Ancient Three Sovereigns, no one has yet refined a higher level of Great Dao Laws beyond the Pillar of Great Dao Laws.

Even top supreme experts like the Yellow Old Lord, Dao Lord Hongjun, and Demon Ancestor Rahu, though they have touched upon the realm beyond the Thirty-Six Layers of Great Luo Dao Realm, are constrained by the rules of the Primordial World and cannot break through.

Compared to them, Tai Ming's gap is beyond imagination.

Yet even these top-tier beings have not touched the limit of the Great Dao Law Divine Chains, let alone the higher Pillar of Great Dao Laws.

Fortunately, with the enhancement of the Jade Plate of Creation, Tai Ming's comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws has finally entered a new stage.

The construction of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws is gradually being completed!

Tai Ming is surrounded by the Self Dao Divine Ring, and countless Dao Fruits he has nurtured are manifesting one after another.

When it came to the Great Freedom Pure Land Buddha Dao Fruit and the Great Freedom True Demon Dao Fruit, the expressions of the Nameless Ascetic Monk and Demon Ancestor Rahu drew attention.

The monk's brow trembled subtly, and his Buddha light blazed brighter, yet the turmoil within him was hard to conceal.

The Demon Ancestor, meanwhile, smiled at the corners of his mouth, as if appreciating the growth of a junior.

Everyone's focus shifted back to Tai Ming's Self Dao Divine Ring.

Dao Lord Hongjun marveled at the Dao aura Tai Ming carried—including the Dao auras of Cang Li Shi, Yue Jianshi, Jiu Tou Shi, and others, as well as the monk's Buddha Dao and Rahu's Demonic Dao.

If he could successfully integrate these Dao insights, his Ghost Dao might surpass the Three Thousand Great Dao and become a new top-tier Great Dao.

Amid the astonishment, Tai Ming's refinement of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws continued.

The first to be completed was the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's Innate Reincarnation Great Dao.

This Great Dao, through Tai Ming's efforts, had already neared perfection, nearly forming a complete Innate Reincarnation Great Dao Law.

The essence of the Reincarnation Great Dao was condensed into Divine Talismans of Reincarnation Great Dao. After gathering eighty-four million divine talismans, generating one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Reincarnation Dao Principles, it finally formed a Reincarnation Great Dao Law Unit.

This process highlighted the difficulty of comprehending an Innate Great Dao.

Fortunately, Tai Ming, now gathering insights from nine supreme Great Daos, had entered the Primordial Chaos Dao Realm.

In this state, he unlocked his extraordinary potential.

With every breath, he could deeply grasp the true essence of the nine Great Daos, especially the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws revealed by the Jade Plate of Creation, as well as Cang Li Shi's Heavenly Dao Laws and Dao Lord Hongjun's Immortal Dao Laws—all of which played a crucial role in Tai Ming's growth.

Immersed in comprehension, aided by his main body's absolute rational state, Tai Ming gradually refined various innate laws.

Before long, he had already condensed over one hundred complete Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.

Such speed was astonishing.

They all wondered if he possessed talent beyond the ordinary.

The Dao has no end, and Tai Ming maintained his rationality throughout the process of comprehending the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.

Each time he finished comprehending one Great Dao Law, he would adjust his direction and begin comprehending another.

He knew that such an opportunity might slip away in an instant; if he didn't cherish it, he might never encounter it again.

Thus, he gave it his all, continuously comprehending.

After some time, the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws Tai Ming had comprehended exceeded thirty-nine thousand.

Within his Self Dao Divine Ring, countless Innate Dao Fruits appeared like great suns.

This achievement surprised even Dao Lord Hongjun and the others.

Even a supreme Immortal Dao being like Dao Lord Hongjun had only refined a certain number of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.

Yet now, a Tai Ming at the Taiyi Realm could refine such a quantity of complete Innate Great Dao Laws—it was unbelievable.

By the standards of the Primordial World, this was equivalent to thirty-nine thousand times the power of a foundational Great Luo.

Such strength shocked even Dao Lord Hongjun.

What surprised Dao Lord Hongjun was that Tai Ming seemed completely unaffected by the Power of the Heavenly Dao.

During the awakening of the Jade Plate of Creation, other Innate Divine Beings displayed various reactions—some joyful, some regretful, some rejecting the Heavenly Dao Seed, and some choosing to join the Heavenly Dao Lineage.

Only Tai Ming, as if all power had lost its luster before him, calmly accepted everything—whether it was the Heavenly Dao, the Immortal Dao, or the Great Dao—drawing the attention of the Gods.

Demon Ancestor Rahu's laughter was full of praise and provocation, claiming that Tai Ming had shattered the expectations of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, and that his actions might reduce at least twenty percent of those who would choose to join the Heavenly Dao Lineage.

Earlier, the might of the Jade Plate of Creation and the Heavenly Dao had intimidated these Innate Divine Beings, affecting their Dao hearts.

But Tai Ming's success showed them another path—a way to devour the power of the Heavenly Dao with their own Dao.

Thus, aside from the Heavenly Dao Lineage, the other Innate Divine Beings showed faint smiles toward Tai Ming.

Yet Tai Ming himself remained as calm as water, knowing well that only his own power was the foundation.

Immersed in the power of his own Dao Divine Ring, his heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, possessing thirty-nine thousand Innate Great Daos, Great Luo power, and Innate Dao Fruits, he felt that no Taiyi existence could be stronger than him.

He already had the potential to break through to Grand Unity, but intended to continue exploring his limits, not rushing the breakthrough.

Next, he looked forward to the Realm of the Nine Heavens.

He reasoned that since the Jade Plate of Creation was so miraculous, the Realm of the Nine Heavens opened by Cang Li Shi must also be extraordinary.

As an Infinite Great Realm, its Great Dao would offer him immense inspiration.

At this moment, the Gods were also eagerly staring at Dao Lord Hongjun, yearning to witness the Realm of the Nine Heavens.

Feeling the fervent anticipation of Tai Ming and the others, Dao Lord Hongjun began to speak of the mysteries of the Jade Plate of Creation, hoping they could glean insights from it.

Without further delay, he led them to observe the Realm of the Nine Heavens, the founding ground of the Heavenly Dao Lineage.

The void split open, revealing a brand-new world, filled with mystery and wonder.

Rolling Chaos Pure Qi permeated the air; a single glance cleared the mind and spirit.

The Heavenly Gate stood towering between heaven and earth, its golden light radiating in ten thousand beams, auspicious energy gathering in splendor.

Around it stood three thousand great pillars, entwined with Golden-Scaled Dragons formed from the laws of the Innate Great Dao; on the long bridge, Rainbow-Feathered Phoenixes circled.

Through the Heavenly Gate, the crowd saw the sacred realm of the Nine Heavens.

It was a vast Sea of Flowers, where Flower Spirits whispered neck to neck.

The boundless Heavenly River connected the water veins of the entire Primordial Wilderness, brimming with vitality.

Auspicious Grass, Grand Unity Spiritual Mechanisms, Innate Spiritual Roots, and all manner of rare treasures were scattered everywhere.

Every item in this sacred realm was a Chaos Divine Material; with each breath, one could experience the baptism of Chaos Pure Qi, sensing the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.

Such a holy land was the dream of every cultivator, now held in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, naturally drawing countless gazes.

Sensing the attention and anticipation of the crowd, Dao Lord Hongjun, after the Gate of the Heavenly Realm had opened, extended an invitation to all.

"Fellow Daoists, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm is open. You are welcome to enter and observe, to jointly discuss the great endeavor of building the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Dao Lineage."

With that, Dao Lord Hongjun stepped into the Heavenly Gate in one stride.

The other Gods exchanged glances, then followed behind.

After entering the Realm of the Nine Heavens, Tai Ming felt the dense Chaos Pure and Clear Qi here; as far as his vision stretched, there was an endless sea of clouds.

He and the other Innate Divine Beings marveled endlessly, fully acknowledging the reputation of the Realm of the Nine Heavens as a sacred land.

In the ensuing conversation, the Gods discussed the absence of Chaos Turbid Qi and the superiority of the Innate Spiritual Mechanism of the Nine Heavens.

They all understood that the Realm of the Nine Heavens was more suited for the cultivation of the God Clan.

Compared to the Netherworld, though it had its unique features, the wonders of the Nine Heavens seemed to surpass it.

At that moment, Tai Ming sensed something and turned his gaze in a certain direction.

The other Gods simultaneously noticed six beams of divine light piercing heaven and earth, emerging from the Realm of the Nine Heavens—the supreme Dao positions born of this realm.

These positions included the Heavenly Emperor, Great Emperor Gouchen Shanggong of the West, Great Emperor Ziwei Zhongtian of the North Pole, and others.

The appearance of these positions immediately drew intense attention and burning gazes from the Gods, as if they had already begun a silent struggle for these supreme seats.

Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole governed all living beings; Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven governed all lands.

Any Innate Divine Being or living creature that obtained one of these six supreme positions and bore its power could ascend to the ranks of the Top Supreme Experts above the thirty-third level of the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao Lineage would possess at least six supreme experts.

Beyond these six supreme positions, the Heavenly Realm also had the positions of the Three Pure Ones, Three Assistants, and Four Spirits.

The Three Pure Ones were the three great Heavenly Lords—Jade Pure, Upper Pure, and Great Pure—whose very names carried immense significance, rivaling the six supreme positions.

The Three Assistants, or Three Officials Dao Positions, included the Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, and Water Official, ranking just below the six supreme seats.

Those who bore the Three Assistants positions were also comparable to supreme experts at the thirtieth to thirty-third levels of the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

The Four Spirits were the Tianyi Four Spirits, whose power needed no elaboration.

Below them were the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Orthodox Gods of the Zhou Heavenly Cycle, the One Hundred and Twenty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred and One One Yuan Assistant Gods, and the Eight Hundred and Forty Million Minor Gods, corresponding respectively to ordinary Grand Unity Venerable Gods, Grand Unity Venerable Gods, and Immortal Venerable Gods.

The Heavenly Dao Lineage's foundation ran deep because of these positions; no wonder they sought to govern the Primordial Wilderness, leaving even other forces hard-pressed to resist.

Many Gods were awestruck by the power of the Realm of the Nine Heavens and the Heavenly Dao Lineage, and Tai Ming's heart churned with waves.

If one set aside the acknowledged powerhouses of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, such as Dao Lord Hongjun, even Tai Ming himself would find it difficult to muster resistance without the Yin-Yang Ghost Clan and Ghost Gods.

Clearly, every major force had the foundation and ambition to dominate the Primordial Wilderness.

What had been revealed so far was only the Realm of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Dao Lineage and the Ghost Gods of Tai Ming's Earthly Dao Lineage; more power remained hidden.

This was the true foundation of the Divine Path.

Tai Ming could not determine how many Grand Unity, supreme experts, or Top Supreme Experts existed in the Primordial Wilderness; if a Grand Unity chose to conceal himself, even a Grand Unity supreme expert would find it hard to detect.

Today, the Heavenly Dao Lineage made a grand display, with its supreme experts like Dao Lord Hongjun and Yin Yang Old Ancestor not yet empowered by any Dao positions, yet already shaking the four corners.

And this was merely one faction split from the Ancient Divine Court of the past, making one imagine the might of the Ancient Three Sovereigns.

The Heavenly Realm opened by Cang Li Shi in ancient times had a foundation so deep it could crush all other forces.

He established the Divine Path, the God Clan, and the Divine Court, ushering the Primordial Wilderness into the Archaic Era. His overwhelming power never ceased to inspire awe.

No one knows their true strength, because no one has ever forced them to go all out.

The subsequent Yue Jianshi and Jiu Tou Shi, though somewhat inferior, still far surpassed other Innate Divine Beings.

The Ancient Three Sovereigns stand above the Primordial Gods, recorded separately, for they are not on the same level as the Gods.

At this moment, the shock from the Heavenly Dao Lineage left the Primordial Gods unable to remain calm.

Even Dao Lord Hongjun, who had long known the might of the Realm of the Nine Heavens, inspired awe in others.

The mere remnants of Cang Li Shi's Realm of the Nine Heavens made one feel true helplessness.

The strongest of the Five Directions Divine Race, after countless eons of scheming, had only now achieved their current power—yet before the Realm of the Nine Heavens, all their efforts seemed to vanish into nothing.

If the Heavenly Dao Lineage were to obtain the true inheritance of the Realm of the Nine Heavens, overturning the Primordial Realm might only take an instant.

For a moment, the strong of the Five Directions Divine Race fell into silence.

They had just emerged from the shadow of the Ancient Three Sovereigns, eager to contend for dominance over the Primordial Realm, but the rise of the Heavenly Dao Lineage dealt them a massive blow.

Just then, Demon Ancestor Rahu let out a cold laugh, breaking the silence.

"Hmph!"
