Chapter 39

Strong-willed experts at the Grand Unity level could enter the virtual Great Luo Heaven, manifesting as incarnations through their mind and thoughts into the Primordial World.

To prevent potential conflicts, Tai Ming proactively restricted the ability of those from lower worlds to enter the advanced virtual Primordial World.

Those from lower worlds who entered voluntarily did so at their own risk.

Going forward, they would focus on refining and optimizing the balance between safety and realism in this virtual world.

To avoid further clashes and potential blockades, the Gods began to view Tai Ming's actions more favorably, understanding that the limitations and challenges they faced were not deliberate—they too had their own choices and concerns.

The Gods generally understood and accepted that certain secrets and challenges within the virtual Primordial World were unavoidable norms.

The virtual Primordial World was undeniably an incredibly convenient tool, covering every corner of the Primordial World and greatly facilitating communication and information exchange among major powers.

Even Grand Unity experts spanning time and space couldn't monitor the entire Primordial World's movements at all times.

But through the virtual Primordial World, they could allow their juniors to cross endless time and space, contacting their clan ancestors at any moment.

This tool's emergence undoubtedly provided an excellent means of message transmission for all factions.

Before this, while factions had methods like fate-based messaging and karmic communication, none could match the convenience of the virtual Primordial World.

The existence of the virtual Primordial World allowed major powers to pay closer attention to outstanding juniors or wandering cultivators.

They could spread their Great Dao within the virtual Primordial World, attracting those Dao Seekers.

Those who might have performed ** in the Primordial World could conceal traits of a prodigy, resonating with some Great Dao.

As long as they possessed decent ability, they could shine in the virtual Primordial World.

Whether they actively chose a favored faction or caught the eye of a Grand Unity expert, it was a rare opportunity.

Across the vast Primordial World, no one knew which corner might hide an unparalleled prodigy.

Perhaps someone could grow into a legendary junior like Tai Ming.

Thus, the advantages of the virtual Primordial World were too compelling to abandon.

The Gods marveled at the potential of the twin brothers, Tai Ming and Shen Ji.

They envied that the Earthly Dao Lineage had found such a Guardian of the Dao.

To this, Tai Ming just smiled. They knew that behind their achievements lay every step taken on thin ice, facing the Primordial World's top Supreme Experts, Destiny Trials, and even the trials of the Ancient Three Sovereigns.

In others' eyes, Tai Ming had long become a survival expert, always advancing by retreating when facing challenges.

Setting aside worldly notions of face, he viewed his own growth path through his actual circumstances.

To him, "self-knowledge" was both his greatest strength and the driving force behind his continuous progress.

Even when facing endless divine machinations and overwhelming power, he could maintain a clear mind and composed demeanor.

At last, he perceived that the current Tai Xu was the new form of the past Shen Ji.

In this universe, the "Dao" was everywhere, and so was "Tai Xu."

From this moment on, as long as the Primordial World endured, Shen Ji would exist forever, and the worry in Tai Ming's heart dissipated.

A voice came from Shen Ji: "Brother, rest assured. Before you, I will always be Shen Ji."

Tai Ming's heart filled with relief after hearing this.

Finally, this moment arrived. Tai Ming's mind and spirit fully merged into that mysterious Dao Fruit, as if entering a strange space.

In this space, time and space intertwined with the River of Fate, and the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws covered the heavens like a net of laws.

Above the net, stars shone brilliantly, radiating endless splendor.

The Dao Fruit he inhabited was like an insignificant fish in the River of Destiny and Karma.

Yet now, that fish was no longer content with its state. It leaped with effort, shaking off the waves of fate, time, and karmic principles around it, like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate, transforming into a new being—Tai Ming! He understood, "The Dao Fruit is me, and the Great Dao is me!"

The Dao Fruit was not merely a fruit; it was the foundation for his enlightenment as a Grand Unity Dao Lord.

Though not all Primordial Grand Unity experts chose to attain the Dao through a Dao Fruit, Tai Ming's Self Great Dao had selected the Dao Fruit as its core.

His attainment of the Dao was the path of the Dao Fruit, the path of self, the path of Dao nature! The form of his Dao Fruit was his self, his appearance.

As Tai Ming's Self Dao Fruit transcended the River of Destiny and Karma, the net of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws became his new constraint.

But this was only the beginning; Tai Ming would not stop here.

He knew, "The Three Thousand Great Daos can ultimately only serve me, not become chains binding me!"

Thus, Tai Ming's Self Dao Fruit grew like a God or Devil, resisting the binding of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws net.

He had long comprehended a method to counter it. The Innate Great Dao he had previously realized now evolved into a starry sea of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, wrapping the binding net in reverse.

At the same time, Tai Ming's will began to absorb its profound meanings, nourishing his own Dao Fruit.

In that instant, Tai Ming seemed to transform into the Primordial World's supreme will, perceiving the flow of all beings' thoughts.

And he himself fully merged into the origin of the Self Great Dao, exploring the ultimate meaning of self-transformation.

He understood: "The self is the nature of the Dao; the Dao-nature is great freedom, and the self attains carefree ease."

Only by truly understanding the self can one perceive the evolution of heavenly destiny, receive the protection of the Great Dao, and see through the primordial essence of all things and the mysteries of the Dao with a single glance.

At this moment, Tai Ming entered a divine state of no thought and no intention, yet perceiving everything.

He instantly grasped the true meaning of countless cultivation realms—the rotation of the sun and moon in the void, the cycle of life and death in the earth, and all the essences beyond the operation of order—all flooding into the depths of his soul.

In that instant, he became as if the eternal, undying incarnation of the Great Dao, sensing the evolution of the Primordial Chaos universe.

In a single moment, he comprehended the core meanings of dozens of Innate Great Daos—time, space, destiny, karma, reincarnation, life and death, yin and yang, creation, destruction, and more—and his own cultivation instantly soared to its peak.

For a time, he seemed to possess the boundless power to control the life and death of All Beings with a single thought, moving as his heart willed.

Yet, his will was firm, and he instantly awakened from this intoxication.

He knew this feeling was merely an illusion; if he truly indulged in it, he would be assimilated by the Great Dao.

Though he would gain supreme power, he would also lose his self.

The Great Dao is without emotion.

Through Tai Ming's unceasing efforts, the net of laws formed by the Three Thousand Great Daos was gradually broken apart by his self-fruit.

This process might have been eternal, or it might have been but a moment.

Tai Ming's self-fruit transcended the net of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and the River of Destiny and Karma could no longer pull him back.

At this moment, his Grand Unity Dao Fruit surpassed eternity, shining within the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

The Grand Unity Dao Realm is the realm where the Daos of the Gods reside, divided into thirty-six levels, corresponding to the Thirty-six Dao Realms of the Gods.

Tai Ming's breakthrough stirred the innate senses of all within the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

Grand Unity Venerable Gods, and even Top Supreme Experts, extended their divine thoughts. Upon sensing Tai Ming's aura, they understood that he had succeeded.

The transcendence of time and space in the outer realm rendered the passage of time irrelevant.

Tai Ming immersed himself in the myriad insights following his breakthrough. His cultivation realm expanded rapidly, his foundation growing deeper and more stable, allowing the Daos he could bear to surpass their previous limits.

At this point, he could no longer perceive his own limits.

Whether it was the number of Innate Great Daos he mastered or the refinement of each Dao, there was no longer an upper bound—the only restriction might be his own insufficient comprehension.

Yet now, Tai Ming devoted himself entirely to comprehending more Daos, leveraging this opportunity to use his own abilities to the fullest.

The endless true meaning of the Great Dao flowed through his heart like a cosmic sea of stars, imprinting itself as profound principles within his mind.

Tai Ming had already broken through to the Grand Unity realm, and he decided to delve deeply into the potential of this realm, exploring the highest Dao realm he could achieve.

Riding this fierce momentum, Tai Ming challenged higher Dao realms without consuming his own potential.

His cultivation began to skyrocket, drawing the attention of many Top Supreme Experts.

A Heavenly Dao Lineage Divine Being at the ninth level of Grand Unity observed Tai Ming and marveled that his cultivation speed surpassed that of most Gods.

Though this Divine Being had the best cultivation environment and had trained from the ancient era to the present only to reach the ninth level of Grand Unity, he still found Tai Ming's speed astonishing.

This breakthrough made the Divine Being feel as though he could no longer keep pace with the times.

The Gods felt the same—they had groped through the Grand Unity realm for a long time, accumulating experience over countless ages.

Now, the advantages they had built up seemed insignificant before Tai Ming.

Even the Top Supreme Experts deeply acknowledged Tai Ming's potential, believing he would become one of them.

Some even thought that the three Heavenly Dao Lineage venerables—Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Yellow Heaven—might not be able to compare with Tai Ming if they had not merged with the essence of the Heavenly Realm.

This junior of the new generation was truly the foremost figure.

As Tai Ming broke through to the Grand Unity realm, his strength and potential grew increasingly conspicuous.

Dao Lord Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Rahu, Ancestral Dragon, and other Top Supreme Experts watched him unblinkingly, their hearts surging with unrest, unable to remain calm before this junior of the new generation.

Tai Ming was forging his own Grand Unity Dao Realm—a unique path of his own.

"Dao friend Hongjun, as the one among us with the deepest foundation, wielding the Jade Plate of Creation, when it comes to breaking through the Grand Unity Dao Realm, what level did your achievement reach?" This question piqued Demon Ancestor Rahu's interest and also stirred the curiosity of Ancestral Dragon and other Gods.

They turned their gazes to Dao Lord Hongjun, awaiting his answer.

Dao Lord Hongjun faced the crowd's attention with considerable calm.

He admitted that although he had emerged into the world slightly earlier than the New Generation, such as little friend Tai Ming, his foundation might not necessarily match his rival's. He had comprehended one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Innate Great Daos under the guidance of Cang Li Shi before breaking through to become a Grand Unity Venerable God.

Compared to little friend Tai Ming, his achievements seemed less illustrious.

However, this was merely Dao Lord Hongjun's modest words—his accomplishments had actually reached a state of divine mastery.

Though the Gods had lived long, the foundation they had accumulated before breaking through to Grand Unity might not even match Hongjun's.

Upon hearing Dao Lord Hongjun's words, they recalled their own insufficient foundations, amassed in haste for a quick breakthrough, and the difficulties they faced in the era of rampant ferocious beasts.

Nevertheless, they had still succeeded step by step in becoming the top experts of the Primordial Wilderness.

Though the current era was more peaceful, accumulating such a deep foundation in a short time was no easy feat.

The Gods were immersed in nostalgia for the past, lamenting the impact of the changing times.

Though they had reached a state where heaven and earth could perish yet they would not, their hearts were still swayed by past experiences.

Fortunately, the Gods were no ordinary beings and soon recovered.

They understood that past shortcomings did not affect their present achievements or future prospects.

Demon Ancestor Rahu also realized his emotions had been stirred and felt displeased with himself.

He proudly declared that his accomplishments in breaking through to Grand Unity surpassed those of the junior Hongjun, and that his Demonic Dao had been established before reaching Grand Unity.

At this moment, the arrogance of Demon Ancestor Rahu seemed to have receded slightly, though the change was subtle.

Meanwhile, Tai Ming remained unaware of the Gods' discussions.

Whenever his comprehension of the Great Dao hit a dead end, he would silently break through to a higher Dao realm.

Repeating this process, his enlightenment of the Great Dao stayed perpetually at its peak.
