Chapter 35

When the complete Great Dao Laws reached a total of three thousand, they could condense into Great Dao Law Divine Chains, and the refinement of these divine chains was likewise without limit.

Only when the Great Dao Divine Chains also reached a total of three thousand could they form a Pillar of Great Dao Laws like Yellow Old Lord's.

But this was clearly still far from the end of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

At present, in the Primordial Wilderness, aside from the unknown Ancient Three Sovereigns, no one had yet refined Great Dao Laws of a level higher than the Pillar of Great Dao Laws.

Even top Supreme Experts such as Yellow Old Lord, Dao Lord Hongjun, and Demon Ancestor Rahu had already touched realms beyond the Thirty-Six Layers of Great Luo Dao Realm, yet they were restricted by the rules of the Primordial World and could not break through.

Compared with them, Tai Ming's disparity was beyond imagination.

However, even these top-tier existences had not touched the limits of the Great Dao Divine Chains, much less the higher Pillar of Great Dao Laws.

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

The construction of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws was gradually nearing completion!

Self Dao Divine Rings surrounded Tai Ming, and countless nurtured Dao Fruits manifested one after another.

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

The Ascetic Monk's brows trembled almost imperceptibly, and his Buddhist light grew even more brilliant, yet the fluctuations in his heart were difficult to conceal.

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

Everyone's attention was once again drawn to Tai Ming's Self Dao Divine Rings.

Dao Lord Hongjun sighed over the aura of the Great Dao carried by Tai Ming, including the Great Dao auras of Cang Li Shi, Yue Jianshi, and Jiu Tou Shi, as well as the Buddhist Dao of the Ascetic Monk and the Demonic Dao of Rahu.

If he could successfully integrate these insights into the Great Dao, his Ghost Dao might surpass the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a new supreme Great Dao.

While everyone was astonished, Tai Ming's refinement of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws continued.

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

Under Tai Ming's efforts, this Great Dao had already neared completion, almost forming a complete Innate Reincarnation Great Dao Law.

The profundities of the Great Dao of Reincarnation were refined into Divine Talismans of Reincarnation Great Dao. After gathering all eight hundred and forty million divine talismans, they generated one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Reincarnation Dao Principles, ultimately forming a Reincarnation Great Dao Law Unit.

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

Fortunately, Tai Ming had now gathered insights into nine supreme Great Daos and entered the Primordial Chaos Dao Realm.

In this state, he unlocked his extraordinary potential.

With every breath, he could deeply comprehend the true essence of the nine Great Daos. In particular, the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws revealed by the Jade Plate of Creation, along with Cang Li Shi's Heavenly Dao Laws and Dao Lord Hongjun's Immortal Dao Laws, played an extremely crucial role in Tai Ming's growth.

Tai Ming immersed himself in comprehension. With the assistance of his true body's state of absolute rationality, he gradually refined various Innate Laws.

Before long, he had condensed more than a hundred complete laws among the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.

Such speed was astonishing.

They all wondered whether he possessed talent beyond that of ordinary people.

The Dao had no end. Throughout his comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, Tai Ming always maintained his rationality.

Each time he finished comprehending a Great Dao Law, he adjusted his direction and began comprehending another law.

He knew that such an opportunity might disappear in the blink of an eye. If he did not cherish it, he might never encounter it again in the future.

Therefore, he devoted himself fully and continued comprehending them.

After a period of effort, the number of Three Thousand Great Dao Laws Tai Ming had comprehended had surpassed thirty-nine thousand.

Within his Self Dao Divine Rings appeared countless Innate Great Dao Fruits, each resembling a great sun.

Such an achievement astonished Dao Lord Hongjun and the others.

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

Yet now, Tai Ming, who was merely in the Taiyi Realm, had actually managed to refine so many complete Innate Great Dao Laws. It was inconceivable.

By the standards of the Primordial Wilderness, this was equivalent to thirty-nine thousand times the power of a basic Grand Unity.

Such strength even shocked Dao Lord Hongjun.

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

At the moment the Jade Plate of Creation awakened, the other Innate Divine Beings displayed various reactions. Some were delighted, some remorseful, some rejected the Heavenly Dao Seed, and some chose to join the Heavenly Dao Lineage.

Only Tai Ming seemed as if all power had lost its color before him.

He calmly accepted every form of power—whether the Heavenly Dao, Immortal Dao, or Great Dao—and this drew the attention of all the gods.

Demon Ancestor Rahu's laughter was filled with praise and provocation. He declared that Tai Ming had shattered the expectations of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, and that his actions might reduce the number of people choosing to join the Heavenly Dao Lineage by at least twenty percent.

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

But Tai Ming's success let them see another possibility—the path of devouring the Power of the Heavenly Dao with one's own Dao.

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

However, Tai Ming himself remained as calm as still water. He understood that only his own power was fundamental.

He immersed himself in the power of his Self Dao Divine Rings, his heart brimming with joy.

At this moment, he possessed thirty-nine thousand Innate Great Daos, Grand Unity power, and Innate Dao Fruits. He felt that there could no longer be a Taiyi existence stronger than him.

He already possessed the potential to break through to Grand Unity, yet he intended to continue exploring his limits rather than rushing to break through.

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

He believed that since the Jade Plate of Creation was so wondrous, the Realm of the Nine Heavens opened by Cang Li Shi would surely be extraordinary as well.

As an Infinite Great Realm, the Great Dao within it would provide him with tremendous revelations.

At this moment, the gods were also impatiently looking toward Dao Lord Hongjun, eager to witness the Realm of the Nine Heavens.

After sensing the fervent expectations of Tai Ming and the others, Dao Lord Hongjun began discussing the mysteries of the Jade Plate of Creation, hoping everyone could gain insight from it.

Without waiting any longer, he led everyone in observing the Realm of the Nine Heavens, the place where the Heavenly Dao Lineage established its Dao.

The void split apart, revealing an entirely new world filled with mystery and wonder.

Rolling Chaos Pure Qi spread everywhere. At a glance, one's mind became clear.

The Heavenly Gate towered between heaven and earth, radiating ten thousand golden rays and auspicious qi.

Three thousand great pillars stood within, surrounded by golden-scaled dragons formed from Innate Great Dao Laws. On the long bridges, phoenixes with multicolored feathers spiraled around.

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

It was a vast Sea of Flowers, where the Flower Spirits whispered intimately to one another.

The boundless Heavenly River linked the entire water system of the Primordial Wilderness, brimming with vitality.

Auspicious Grass, Grand Unity Spiritual Mechanisms, Innate Spiritual Roots, and all kinds of rare treasures could be seen everywhere.

Every item in these sacred realms was a Chaos Divine Material. With each breath, one could experience the baptism of Chaos Pure Qi and sense the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.

Such a sacred land was the paradise dreamed of by every cultivator. Now that it was in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, it naturally attracted countless gazes.

Sensing everyone's attention and anticipation, Dao Lord Hongjun issued an invitation after the Gate of the Heavenly Realm opened.

"Fellow Daoists, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm is open. You are all welcome to enter and take a look, and together discuss the grand undertaking of establishing the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Dao Lineage."

After speaking, Dao Lord Hongjun stepped into the Heavenly Gate.

The other divine beings exchanged glances before following him inside.

After entering the Realm of the Nine Heavens, Tai Ming sensed the dense Chaos Pure Spiritual Qi here. As far as the eye could see stretched an endless sea of clouds.

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

During the conversation that followed, the gods discussed the absence of Chaos Turbid Qi and the superiority of the Innate Spiritual Mechanism in the Realm of the Nine Heavens.

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

Compared with the Netherworld, although the Netherworld had its own unique qualities, the wonders of the Realm of the Nine Heavens seemed to surpass it.

At this moment, Tai Ming sensed something and turned his gaze toward a certain direction.

At the same time, the other gods discovered six divine lights that reached the heavens and earth. They were the supreme Dao Positions nurtured by the Realm of the Nine Heavens.

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

The appearance of these Dao Positions immediately drew the gods' intense attention and heated gazes, as if they had already begun a silent struggle to seize them.

Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole ruled over all living beings, while Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven ruled over all lands.

Any Innate Divine Being or living creature, so long as they obtained one of these six Dao Positions and bore the power behind it, could enter the ranks of top Supreme Experts above the thirty-third layer of the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

The Heavenly Dao Lineage therefore possessed at least six Supreme Experts.

Aside from these six supreme Dao 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 Heavenly Venerables—Jade Pure, Upper Pure, and Great Pure. Their names alone represented immense significance, and they were comparable to the six supreme Dao Positions.

The Three Assistants, or Three Officials Dao Positions, included the Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, and Water Official. Their status was second only to that of the six supremes.

Those who held the positions of the Three Assistants were also powerful enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Supreme Experts of the thirtieth to thirty-third layers of the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

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

Below them were the three hundred and sixty-five Righteous Gods of the Circumference of Heaven, the one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred One Yuan Assistant Gods, and the eight hundred and forty million Minor Gods. They corresponded respectively to ordinary Grand Unity Venerable Gods, Grand Unity Venerable Gods, and Immortal Venerable Gods.

The Heavenly Dao Lineage possessed profound foundations because of these Dao Positions. No wonder they intended to rule the Primordial Wilderness; even the other factions found it difficult to muster thoughts of resistance.

The many divine beings were shaken by the Realm of the Nine Heavens and the power of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, and Tai Ming's heart was likewise surging.

Even without counting the publicly acknowledged power of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, such as Dao Lord Hongjun and the others, even Tai Ming himself would have found it difficult to resist without the Yin-Yang Ghost Clan and the Ghost Gods.

This showed that every major faction possessed the foundation and ambition to dominate the Primordial Wilderness.

What had been revealed so far was merely the Realm of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Dao Lineage and the Ghost Gods of Tai Ming's Earthly Dao Lineage. More power had yet to be displayed.

This was the true foundation of the Divine Path.

Tai Ming could not determine how many Grand Unity experts, Supreme Beings, and top Supreme Experts the Primordial Wilderness had. If a Grand Unity expert concealed themselves, even a Supreme Being of Grand Unity would have difficulty detecting them.

Today, the Heavenly Dao Lineage possessed great momentum. Its Supreme Beings, such as Dao Lord Hongjun and Yin-Yang Ancestor, had yet to receive the augmentation of any Dao Positions, yet they already shook the four directions.

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

The Heavenly Realm opened by Cang Li Shi in the past possessed such profound foundations that it could crush every major faction.

He had opened the Divine Path, the God Clan, and the Divine Court, leading the Primordial Wilderness into the Archaic Era. His strength was so great that it remained astonishing.

No one knew his true strength because no one had ever been able to make him use his full power.

The later Yue Jianshi and Jiu Tou Shi were somewhat inferior, but they still far surpassed the other Innate Divine Beings.

The Ancient Three Sovereigns stood above all the gods of the Primordial Wilderness and were recorded separately because they existed on an entirely different level from the other gods.

At this moment, the shock brought by the Heavenly Dao Lineage left the gods of the Primordial Wilderness unable to calm down.

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

The Realm of the Nine Heavens left behind by Cang Li Shi alone made people feel truly powerless.

The Supreme Beings of the Five Directions Divine Race had schemed for countless epochs before achieving their present strength, yet in the face of the Realm of the Nine Heavens, all their efforts seemed to have turned to nothing.

If the Heavenly Dao Lineage obtained the true inheritance of the Realm of the Nine Heavens, overturning the Primordial Wilderness would probably take only an instant.

For a moment, the powerhouses of the Five Directions Divine Race fell silent.

They had only just emerged from the shadow of the Ancient Three Sovereigns and wished to contend for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness, but the rise of the Heavenly Dao Lineage had undoubtedly dealt them a tremendous blow.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu let out a cold laugh, breaking the silence of the crowd.

"Hmph!"
