A Discourse on Time and Space Astonishes the Ancestral Wus; Di Jiang Invites Him to Create Wu Cultivation Techniques

A more vast, more rounded, and deeper aura erupted from within Ao Chen than when he had broken through before!

Late-stage Mythical Heavenly Immortal—success!

In the sky, the terrifying tribulation clouds that had brooded for countless ages finally dispersed as though their purpose had been fulfilled, leaving not a trace behind.

It was as if the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment had never appeared.

Yet the changes were not over!

The instant the tribulation clouds vanished, a strand of seven-colored immortal light descended from the Nine Heavens. It did not come from the Heavenly Dao; it was more ancient, more primordial, and filled with boundless vitality and the Mysteries of Creation. Like a gentle Sweet Rain, it fell and enveloped Ao Chen precisely!

Creation Immortal Light!

This was no reward from the Heavenly Dao, but a boon from the Great Dao itself—a recognition and gift for Ao Chen's success in creating and beginning to tread this path, one "intolerable to the world"!

Bathed in the Creation Immortal Light, Ao Chen felt as if he were immersed in the warm Great Dao Mother River. His earlier exhaustion vanished in an instant, his primordial spirit had never been clearer, and every inch of his body seemed to rejoice!

What surprised him even more was that the Great Dao Origin Scripture, which had just reached completion, began to radiate a tangible brilliance beneath the immortal light!

Page after page of scripture and each talisman seemed to come alive. They were no longer merely theories and cultivation methods; they had truly been "reflected in reality," deeply imprinted on Ao Chen's True Spirit Origin and within this dimension of space-time!

"Bzz—!"

Ao Chen felt his entire body suddenly grow light!

An invisible shackle rooted deep in his bloodline, passed down through countless ages, was severed and cast off completely in that moment!

He was still of the Dragon Race, still in the form of a Five-Clawed True Dragon, but he could clearly feel that he was fundamentally different from ordinary dragons—even from the Ancestral Dragon of old!

His roots were no longer limited by the inheritance of his bloodline. They now stemmed from the Great Dao he had created himself!

From that moment on, he, Ao Chen, was the sole source of his own bloodline and path!

His foundation and potential were now no less than those of the supreme Innate Divine beings born at the dawn of Pangu Creates the World—and might even surpass them!

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"

Ao Chen threw back his head and laughed, his voice full of boundless exhilaration and confidence!

The tribulation of creating a cultivation method had passed, and he had cast off the shackles of his bloodline!

Next, he would build up his foundations, condense his Three Bodies, and prove the Dao of the truly undying and imperishable Mythical True Immortal!

"To withstand such a tribulation without a scratch, and even use it to transform yourself—fellow Daoist, you are truly a genius."

Two figures emerged from the void. Dijiang led the way, with Zhu Jiuyin beside him. Their faces were full of admiration.

Chapter 33: A Discourse on Space-Time Astonishes the Ancestor Witches; Dijiang Sincerely Invites Him to Create a Cultivation Method for the Wu Clan

Above the barren ruins, Ao Chen had just reined in the aura of his breakthrough and was savoring the surging power within him and the exhilaration of having perfected his Great Dao.

He wasn't surprised to see Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin.

After all, he had come from the Wu Clan, and this place wasn't far from Buzhou Mountain. It was only natural that they had sensed what happened.

"You two fellow Daoists flatter me. I merely took a different path." Ao Chen smiled faintly, offering no further explanation.

Dijiang exchanged a few pleasantries with Ao Chen, mainly expressing his admiration and apologizing for what had happened earlier.

Meanwhile, after sensing Ao Chen carefully for a while, the curiosity in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes deepened. He suddenly spoke, inviting him, "Fellow Daoist Ao Chen, I sense that you have a unique understanding of the Space-Time Law. Since you have now broken through, why don't we discuss the Dao again?"

A glint immediately flashed in Ao Chen's eyes!

Though the Great Dao Origin Scripture: True Immortal Chapter was now complete, his breakthrough had indeed raised many new questions. A discussion of the Dao would be worthwhile.

"Please, fellow Daoist."

Ao Chen gestured for him to proceed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a glance, then smiled.

"Excellent."

The three wasted no time.

Dijiang used his spatial ability, and in an instant, the stars shifted. The three of them crossed an immeasurable distance and returned to the Wu Clan's heartland.

This time, however, they didn't go to Zhu Rong's tribe, but to Pangu Temple.

Ao Chen had naturally seen Pangu Temple before.

After all, he had been with the Wu Clan for quite some time. Though he had never visited some of their restricted areas, he had certainly come to pay his respects to such a landmark of the Wu Clan.

The Innate Spiritual Treasure had helped him perfect Indestructible Primordial Spirit, Zhu Jiuyin had given him an understanding of the Dao of time, and the Wu Clan's physical cultivation had enlightened him to Immortal Body. Pangu Temple, in turn, had served to tie everything together.

In fact, Pangu Temple had been one of the reasons he had completed the Great Dao Origin Scripture: True Immortal Chapter so quickly.

Soon, he followed Zhu Jiuyin and Dijiang into Pangu Temple.

Inside the hall, Ao Chen and Zhu Jiuyin sat facing one another.

Without any elaborate formalities, two powerful beings with unique understandings of time and existence began discussing the most primordial truths of the Great Dao.

Zhu Jiuyin expounded on his control over the River of Time: with his eyes closed, it became night; when he opened them, it became day. With every breath came the changing of the seasons, and with a single thought, time could speed up or slow down... Ao Chen listened to these wondrous abilities and nodded inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Zhu Jiuyin's mastery of the law.

Ao Chen, meanwhile, drew on the principles of his Mythical Grand Unity Method to explain how the "Unique True Self Imprint" anchored the past and connected the Three-Life Body, as well as the transcendent state in which "Time is My Sole Proof."

His perspective, independent of the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao, and the unique insights born of his Heaven-Defying Comprehension often approached the subject from unexpected angles. Even Zhu Jiuyin, a natural master of time, found his eyes opened and felt a subtle stirring within himself!

Their discourse was quiet, yet seemed to set the most fundamental laws of space-time resonating throughout the world.

Profound runes appeared and vanished in the hall. At times, the flow of time shifted; at others, space warped. Wonders unfolded one after another!

Their profound discourse soon caught the attention of the other Ancestor Witches.

Hou Tu, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong... One Ancestor Witch after another was drawn to the hall. They slipped inside, sitting or standing in rapt silence as they listened.

At first, they might have been driven by curiosity or a desire to compare their knowledge. But gradually, all the Ancestor Witches were deeply impressed by Ao Chen's endless stream of profound and abstruse insights into the Great Dao!

Especially when Ao Chen spoke of "attaining the Dao through oneself," becoming "undying and imperishable" to bear the Three-Life Body, and his ultimate goal of "using my heart to replace the Heavenly Heart." These ideas shook the Ancestor Witches, who cultivated only their bodies, relied on Father God's legacy and the power of the earth, and did not cultivate primordial spirits!

They had never imagined that the path of cultivation could be walked this way!

That one could completely break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and become eternal!

For a time, the Ancestor Witches looked at Ao Chen with heartfelt respect and admiration.

This mysterious young man of the Dragon Race possessed talent, wisdom, and a lofty path that were simply unimaginable!

The discussion lasted a full thousand years.

When Ao Chen and Zhu Jiuyin both felt they had gained a great deal and brought their discourse to a temporary close, the hall still lingered in a wondrous aura of the Dao.

Just then, Dijiang, the Space Ancestor Witch, who had been deep in thought, suddenly rose and bowed solemnly to Ao Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Ao Chen," Dijiang said sincerely.

"Your talent is unparalleled through the ages, and the cultivation method you created is unprecedented. You have opened our eyes, and we are deeply impressed."

Ao Chen nodded slightly. "You're too kind, fellow Daoist Dijiang. We merely compared our insights."

Dijiang drew a deep breath, his expression turning solemn. "Your abilities have already surpassed anything we could imagine."

"Today, I have a request. I hope you will grant it."

"Oh?" Ao Chen raised an eyebrow. "Please, speak freely, fellow Daoist Dijiang."

Dijiang glanced at the brothers and sisters behind him, a hint of worry crossing his eyes. He said gravely, "You know that though our Wu Clan is of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, with powerful bodies and innate mastery of the laws, we have one fatal flaw—we do not cultivate primordial spirits or understand the laws of Heaven. We cannot breathe in spiritual energy or comprehend the Great Dao to cultivate like the other beings of the Primordial Wilderness."

"We Ancestor Witches can rely on Father God's bloodline legacy and remain untroubled. But the countless ordinary Witch-Humans under my command can only temper their blood and qi or devour spirits to grow stronger. Their progress is slow, their potential limited, and they have no systematic cultivation method to pass down."

He looked at Ao Chen, his eyes full of hope. "You possess the supreme wisdom to create an entirely new path, as well as peerless talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension."

"Dijiang humbly asks you to help create a cultivation method for the countless ordinary Witch-Humans under my command—one suited to them, capable of improving their strength and being passed down through generations!"

"If you grant us this, the Wu Clan will never forget your great kindness!"

Ao Chen froze. He hadn't expected Dijiang to ask him to create a cultivation method.

"Create a cultivation method?"

Ao Chen pondered for a moment, then agreed without hesitation.

"That's simple enough. I've spent many years among the Wu Clan, learned from your body-tempering methods, and discussed the Dao with all of you. You could say I owe you a favor."

"Since you've asked, it's no more than a small effort for me. I won't refuse."

He wasn't bragging when he agreed to help Dijiang. With his current comprehension, creating a cultivation method would be easy.

After all, with the Mythical Grand Unity Method already in hand, creating a method for the Primordial Wilderness was a simple matter. And this one was for ordinary members of the Wu Clan, to boot.

Of course, creating a method that could help the Wu Clan cultivate primordial spirits would be another matter entirely.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists."

With that, Ao Chen closed his eyes.

Dijiang first looked delighted, then bewildered.

He was glad Ao Chen had agreed, but what did this mean? Was it really as easy as lifting a hand?

The other Ancestor Witches were just as confused.

For a moment, silence fell over the hall.
