Returning to Ziwei, Secluded Cultivation and Dao Comprehension

Chapter 6: Returning to Ziwei, Secluded Cultivation and Dao Comprehension

Ziwei Emperor Star.

Intercepting Heaven Dao.

Among the ancient Dao traditions that stood side by side on the Life Star known as Ziwei Emperor Star, Intercepting Heaven Dao was merely a Saint Dao Tradition.

Legend had it that Intercepting Heaven Dao had inherited part of a Heavenly Lord Dao Tradition from the Mythological Era.

Yet no one took that legend seriously.

After all, if Intercepting Heaven Dao truly possessed a Heavenly Lord's inheritance, it would not have relied on a single Old Sage to barely hold things together.

Especially after that Old Sage passed away, Intercepting Heaven Dao declined even further.

After the Human Emperor proved the Dao, the Dao traditions of Ziwei Emperor Star all began investigating his origins.

They later discovered that the Human Emperor had actually come from Ziwei Emperor Star and had emerged from the Saint Dao Tradition known as Intercepting Heaven Dao.

For a time, the entire Intercepting Heaven Dao became highly sought after.

Sect Leaders from Dao traditions across the land came to Intercepting Heaven Dao one after another to inquire about the Human Emperor's whereabouts.

Even the Sect Leaders of the Yin God Sect and Yang God Sect personally came to Intercepting Heaven Dao, hoping to pay homage to the Human Emperor.

Intercepting Heaven Dao was located in a treasured land rich in heaven and earth essence.

The once-declining Sage tradition became exceptionally lively with the arrival of these Great Sect Leaders.

Intercepting Heaven Dao was now bustling with activity, for the reigning emperor had come from their Dao tradition.

Because of this, the once-declining Saint Dao Tradition seemed poised to rise along with even its chickens and dogs.

When one person attained the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

This was no empty saying in this era. Over the next several tens of thousands of years, Intercepting Heaven Dao would become the most glorious Dao tradition beneath heaven and earth.

During this time, Ancient Races continuously arrived from the Depths of the Starry Sky.

After the two Saint Emperors of Taiyin and Sun rose to prominence, some of the Ancient Races had chosen to befriend the Human Race.

Now that the Human Emperor had proved the Dao, those Ancient Races allied with the Human Race all hurried from the Depths of the Starry Sky toward Ziwei Emperor Star.

As for the vast majority of the Ancient Races, they had fallen into panic.

When the Human Emperor had traveled the Ancient Starry Road, they had dispatched countless people to intercept and kill this Human Race prodigy in order to eliminate him.

After all, the Human Race had already produced two emperors in succession. If it produced another emperor, the status of the Ancient Races would be shaken.

Unexpectedly, their assassination attempt had failed, allowing this Human Race prodigy to become an emperor.

Emperors could not be insulted. Thus, all the Ancient Races that had taken part in the pursuit fell into terror.

Ziwei Emperor Star.

A Golden Path stretched from the Starry Sky all the way to Ziwei, radiating an incomparably domineering Imperial Dao Pressure!

Upon sensing that Imperial Dao Pressure, all Cultivators on Ziwei Star raised their heads and looked toward the Starry Sky, their faces filled with shock.

The Human Emperor had returned!

This sent all the Cultivators into excitement.

The Human Emperor had come from Ziwei Star. This was something every Human Race Cultivator on Ziwei Star took great pride in.

Within Intercepting Heaven Dao, Li Jing, the Sect Leader of Intercepting Heaven Dao, who had been speaking with the Sect Leaders of the various Great Sects, immediately rose to his feet. "The Human Emperor has returned. Let us go pay our respects to him."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leaders of all the Great Sects stood up as well, their faces brimming with excitement.

Before the expectant gazes of the crowd, a Golden Path appeared above Intercepting Heaven Dao.

Phantoms of the Four Spirits guarded the four directions atop the Golden Path. Golden lotus flowers bloomed throughout the Void, creating a scene of unparalleled splendor.

Most notably, an incomparably domineering Human Emperor's pressure spread from it, leaving the many Sect Leaders shaken! For a time, Divine Rosy Clouds filled all of Intercepting Heaven Dao, presenting a scene of Purple Qi Comes From the East, as though the Myriad Daos were converging here.

Many Sect Leaders whose cultivation had long been trapped at bottlenecks felt those bottlenecks begin to loosen, faintly showing signs of a breakthrough.

"Return for now. Come again in a hundred years." Suddenly, a Great Dao Sound containing endless Dao resonance rang in everyone's ears.

The moment they heard that voice, everyone knew that its owner was the Human Emperor who had just proved the Dao.

At that moment, none of them felt disappointed. Instead, joy filled their faces.

After all, the Human Emperor had agreed to receive their homage.

"Yes!"

The Sect Leaders of the various Dao traditions bowed slightly toward the Void, showing their respect for the Human Emperor.

Then they turned to Li Jing, the Sect Leader of Intercepting Heaven Dao, and said, "Sect Leader Li, we will return in a hundred years."

With that, the Sect Leaders of the many Dao traditions left Intercepting Heaven Dao.

Watching the departing Sect Leaders, Li Jing beamed so broadly that he could barely close his mouth.

He had originally believed that Intercepting Heaven Dao would weaken under his leadership.

Yet now, Intercepting Heaven Dao showed every sign of rising! An unsurpassed emperor had emerged from Intercepting Heaven Dao, and this would bring it tens of thousands of years of glory.

In the depths of Intercepting Heaven Dao, within an ancient palace, Chen Zhao sat cross-legged upon a prayer mat. The Myriad Daos followed around him, displaying submission.

He did not choose to receive the Sect Leaders of those Dao traditions at this time.

Instead, he chose to sort through his own Great Dao and refine it, thereby increasing his strength.

Compared to improving his strength, receiving those Sect Leaders was merely a trivial matter.

Ever since he began cultivating and learned that he possessed a Chaos Body, he had used the ancient scriptures of the two Human Emperors of Taiyin and Sun as his cultivation methods.

After the two Saint Emperors of Taiyin and Sun proved the Dao, they passed down two great ancient scriptures.

The Yang Ancient Scripture and the Yin Ancient Scripture.

A saying had long circulated throughout the universe.

"Taiyin and Sun—which is weaker, which is stronger? When yin and yang unite in harmony, all beneath heaven calls them emperor."

The meaning of these words was that if one could achieve Taiyin and Sun Harmony, one would have a chance to merge yin and yang and transform into an unsurpassed Chaos Body.

However, as a naturally born Chaos Body, in the absence of a dedicated Chaos Imperial Scripture, these two ancient scriptures were the most suitable scriptures for Chen Zhao.

Each person's path was impossible to replicate.

"Those who learn from me live; those who resemble me die."

Even though he cultivated both the Yin Ancient Scripture and the Yang Ancient Scripture,

Chen Zhao only treated the two ancient scriptures as lamps to illuminate his path forward.

He walked his own path and ultimately proved the Dao to become an emperor.

He did not blindly imitate them, for that would only lead him into a dead end.

To become an emperor, one had to forge one's own path.

Now, he needed to organize his own Dao and Law and transform them into an Emperor Scripture unique to himself.

Over these hundred years, Chen Zhao remained in Intercepting Heaven Dao, sorting through his own Dao and Law.

After this dedicated refinement, Chen Zhao's understanding of the Dao rose to a new level.

He even perfected his Chaos Scripture during this period.

The Chaos Scripture was an Emperor Scripture Chen Zhao created specifically a hundred years after becoming an emperor, after merging his own Dao and Law with the mysteries of the Chaos Body.

Even among the many ancient scriptures, Chen Zhao dared say that his Chaos Scripture ranked among the very best.

As Chen Zhao's Dao Cultivation advanced greatly, he also sensed an invisible barrier firmly blocking him from entering the Extreme Dao Realm.
