Inside the main hall.

Deep within the sixteen enormous golden pillars stands a throne.

Zhou Hao glanced around and immediately spotted two figures sitting cross-legged at the edge of the hall.

A figure dressed in a purple robe exuded a powerful aura, its oppressive force comparable to that of the Mangya Sovereign and the Fengyu Overlord.

The other figure, a slender man in black robes, possessed a much weaker aura, at most at the level of Lord of the Holy City.

"Hmm?" The two figures opened their eyes simultaneously.

Just as the purple-robed man was about to speak, the white-haired elder, the Cave Abode Spirit, raised an eyebrow and said, "Shut up!"

There's only this one Dominator- level Emperor puppet in the cave. If it gets killed for speaking recklessly again, what will we use to test future destined ones?

Although the master said he would leave all his belongings to the Supreme who found him, or to those destined to overcome the Threefold Life-Death Trial, the Blue Flower Cave Abode was to continue to exist and be used to guide future generations of cultivators.

The two puppet Emperor watched with bated breath as the white-haired old man respectfully led the weak Dao Lord through the hall, remaining bewildered until the figure disappeared completely.

"Weren't we supposed to kill the challengers who came?"

"That Dao Lord... could he be a blood relative of the cave's master?"

Inside an elegant and quiet hall.

"Where is this?" Zhou Hao looked on in shock.

The vast hall was lined with enormous bookshelves, each over ten miles long.

The bookshelves were over three hundred feet tall, divided into hundreds of layers, each layer piled high with scrolls of jade slips.

The number of jade slips in the entire hall was countless, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Zhou Hao was somewhat stunned.

With just a glance, he could roughly deduce that there were over a hundred billion scrolls of jade slips here!

The sheer number is staggering.

"These are all the powerful techniques my master collected, having traversed almost the entire Chaos Universe. Those worthy of being placed here are at least those left behind by Heavenly Dao Lords." The white-haired elder spoke slowly, his gaze complex. "Not only the techniques of our Cultivator Civilization, but even the techniques of the Sith Clan were collected by my master and modified to better suit us cultivators."

"It can be said that the wisdom of countless geniuses from the entire Cultivator Civilization and the Sith Clan civilization is condensed here." The white-haired elder looked at Zhou Hao. "My lord, this is the first relic left by our master."

"The entire Cultivator Civilization and the Sith Clan civilization?" Even Zhou Hao, usually so composed, felt a chill run down his spine.

Along the way, he had considered what kind of wealth the Supreme Qi might leave behind for future generations. He wouldn't be surprised if he left behind a room full of cosmic treasures.

But to everyone's surprise, Supreme Qi left behind was the crystallization of the wisdom of two cultivation universe civilizations!

No wonder the white-haired old man was so confident when talking about Supreme Qi's relics after he mistakenly thought he was the Supreme.

These hundreds of billions of jade slips are of greater help to cultivation and enlightenment than any other treasure; their value is simply immeasurable!

Even cultivators who are not particularly talented to begin with, if they can comprehend the hundreds of billions of methods in this hall and experience the wisdom of hundreds of billions of monstrous cultivators, they will likely broaden their minds and be deeply moved.

As for achieving Dao integration and becoming Eternal Emperor, that would be a piece of cake.

Even if the Dominator were given this opportunity, they might all accumulate the foundation to become Supreme beings.

This is exactly what Zhou Hao needs and wants most at this moment.

"Senior, does the Supreme Qi have a portrait?" Zhou Hao asked.

"What does Your Excellency intend?" the white-haired old man asked, puzzled.

"To be honest, I am not actually Supreme. It's just that my cultivation system is different from the existing three paths, and because I have comprehended the Ultimate Taiji Dao, I have achieved my current strength," Zhou Hao explained. "But precisely because my cultivation is different from the three paths of Divine Demon, Qi Refining, and Mental Power, I have now reached a bottleneck and don't know which way to go."

"Today, I have received the Supreme Qi Being Qi and have the opportunity to see all the methods of the two great cultivation universe civilizations. Although we are not in the name of master and disciple, we are in fact master and disciple. I cannot still not know what the Supreme Qi looks like." Zhou Hao said solemnly. "Senior, if the Supreme Qi has left a portrait, I, Zhou Hao, will kowtow and pay my respects before the portrait to Supreme Qi Being Qi for his great kindness."

"I see." The white-haired old man was also moved after hearing this.

Firstly, although Zhou Hao is not Supreme, his methods are comparable to those of Supreme, and he cultivates a different cultivation system.

Furthermore, I was also moved by Zhou Hao's thoughtfulness.

After all, the master did not require the newcomer to pay respects, so Zhou Hao's willingness to kowtow and acknowledge the master-disciple relationship shows that only a sincere person would have such a thought.

"The master did not leave behind a portrait." The white-haired old man shook his head, his eyes somewhat ethereal. "However, the master left behind a memory fragment. After you have seen it, you will know what the master looked like."

After saying that, the white-haired old man pointed into the distance.

Wow~~~

Suddenly, countless rays of light swirled in the air above the entire hall, gradually forming Dao Sect.

Behind that portal, there seemed to be a hidden space.

Whoosh!

Scrolls of jade slips flew out from the hidden space, and behind the jade slips was a dazzling divine thought.

This divine thought was more radiant and dazzling than any gemstone. Zhou Hao felt a profound shock just from a single glance at it.

It was a kind of artistic conception, a conception even more vast and magnificent than that of the Eternal Emperor.

"These twelve jade scrolls represent twelve Ultimate Dao, while this divine thought contains my master's path," the white-robed elder said. "This is the second relic left behind by my master."

The Supreme Divine Thought Inheritance? The Ultimate Dao in Twelve Volumes?

Even though he had just been shocked by the billions of scrolls of Dharma teachings, Zhou Hao was still stunned when he saw the twelve jade slips floating in front of him and Supreme Qi Divine Sense.

After regaining his senses, Zhou Hao immediately knelt down before the Supreme Qi sense, bowing as if to his master, and said, "Junior Zhou Hao kowtows to thank Supreme Qi for the grace of imparting his skills and passing on his knowledge. Junior will forever remember this!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!...

Zhou Hao solemnly kowtowed nine times, representing the excitement and gratitude in his heart at that moment.

He had the Dao Alliance deliver a message, requesting an audience with the Supreme, also to seek guidance from the Supreme Being on his future cultivation path.

He was even prepared to use his own Blue Flower Chaos Restriction as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Supreme's guidance.

Even if the Supreme contacted by the Dao Alliance were willing to provide guidance, it would be impossible to achieve a direct divine sense inheritance like Supreme Qi!

It should be understood that this divine thought inheritance requires truly stripping away one's own memories in order for the person who comprehends it to become like the Supreme Qi Being, personally experiencing his cultivation journey. Even in a true master-disciple relationship, the master would not teach his disciple in this way.

Even if one loves this disciple dearly, it's impossible!

Zhou Hao first placed the twelve jade slips containing the Ultimate Dao aside, and then respectfully accepted the divine thought from the Supreme Qi with both hands.

While the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao are excellent, his Origin Power Cultivation System does not require merging with the Dao; the cultivation enhances the Small Universe within the body.

Now that the Ultimate Taiji Dao has been perfected, the Small Universe can no longer transform and improve. What attracts Zhou Hao the most is, of course, the divine thought inheritance containing the Supreme path.

"Whoosh~~~"

As his divine sense surged in, an incredibly realistic scene appeared in Zhou Hao's mind.

It was inside an ordinary schoolhouse.

A refined young man dressed in a white robe with blue trim is teaching a group of children.

Zhou Hao was now one of the children, listening to the refined young man's enlightening teachings.

The refined young man's appearance may seem ordinary at first glance, but the more you look at him, the more fatally attractive he becomes.

Every part of his body naturally possesses an incredible Daoist charm!

It is this kind of 'Daoist charm' that naturally exerts an endless attraction on those who are weak.

soon--

The scene then shifted to a military camp.

An officer is teaching his soldiers how to use a rifle.

The officer was a refined young man, and Zhou Hao became a soldier.

Then--

Inside yet another tribe.

The tribal leader, a shaman, instructs the younger members of the tribe.

Zhou Hao became a young member of the clan, while the leader, the shaman, was a refined young man.

Scene after scene.

It appears ordinary, yet it subtly carries a charm that is difficult to discern.

Time flies, and billions of years pass in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Hao has experienced the mortal realm, the World Realm, and the Dao Lord realm... and now he has become the Dominator.

In the void.

The refined young man stood there, with a group of cultivators behind him, each possessing an aura comparable to Dominator. Zhou Hao was one of them.

"Call."

The refined young man waved his sleeve.

It seemed like a gentle breeze swept over Zhou Hao and his group of cultivators.

But the power of this breeze suddenly increased, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a billion times... Almost in an instant, the power of this breeze suddenly increased to an unbelievable level, causing Zhou Hao and his group of cultivators to be instantly annihilated, and then they reappeared one by one.

"This is my path, and you have all seen it. Go, go." The refined young man smiled and waved his hand gently.

As the refined young man waved, Zhou Hao abruptly snapped out of his reverie about the inheritance.

"One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos... This is the Supreme path," Zhou Hao murmured to himself.

After experiencing the divine inspiration Supreme Qi, he finally understood the path to becoming the Eternal Emperor.

The Eternal Emperor is one who has achieved eternity through the Dao.

The Supreme is ' One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos '.

Even if it is just a 'Way of Wind', once it reaches the highest level of ' One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos ', many other Ways that have not yet been comprehended will naturally be contained within the 'Way of Wind'.

"No wonder the alien universe created by the Supreme Being naturally gave rise to countless other Daos. It turns out that the Supreme has reached the level of ' One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos '."

"My Small Universe contains only the Ultimate Taiji Dao. Although it is perfect, it cannot derive other 'Dao'."

"Therefore, if I want to advance further and transform my Small Universe, I must allow my Ultimate Taiji Dao to reach the level of ' One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos '."

At that moment, Zhou Hao finally understood the path ahead.

But he knew exactly how difficult it was.

It should be understood that he has comprehended the Ultimate Taiji Dao, aiming to reach the level of "One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos". The countless Daos derived from them, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time and space, darkness, and light, will inevitably also be countless Ultimate Dao.

He was now nearly comparable to Supreme; if he were to advance further, One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos...

Ten thousand Ultimate Dao?

Sky!

How strong would that be?

Just thinking about it is amazing!

"Fortunately, fortunately we have all the methods of the two great civilizations left behind by the Supreme Qi, as well as the twelve volumes of jade slips Ultimate Dao." Zhou Hao felt extremely fortunate.

After receiving the inheritance from Supreme Qi, Zhou Hao already understood how Supreme Qi had broken through from Dominator of the Wind Dao to becoming Supreme could "One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos".

When Supreme Qi first attained the Dominator level in all nine paths, including the path of time, the path of space, the path of light, the path of fire, and the path of water, he accumulated knowledge and skills and suddenly achieved enlightenment. In the path of wind, he reached the realm of "One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos" and stepped into the realm of the Supreme.

Because every path leads to the same destination, the more you understand, the more you will realize your own true path.

"Therefore, if I want to improve again, I must at least bring the nine paths to ultimate perfection..." Zhou Hao picked up one of the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao and began to study and comprehend it.

The greatest fear in spiritual practice is not knowing where the path lies. Now that we know, let's learn!

First, study the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao left by the Supreme Qi, as well as all the methods of the two major cultivation civilizations, before discussing anything else.

"The ultimate Dao of Flames? Wow, this fellow Daoist is simply the embodiment of fire, the Dominator of fire." Zhou Hao looked at the image left on the jade slip, that Red-Robed Dao Lord clad in flames, truly pushing the limits of fire.

All kinds of flames, whether scorching, icy, chilling, or explosive... all kinds of flames were under his control, manipulated by the Red-Robed Dao Lord's will.

That's correct.

When he created the Ultimate Taiji Dao and resonated with the Tai Chi origin of the Chaos Universe, he understood that at that moment, he could be considered the 'Master of Tai Chi'.

And the one who created the ultimate Flame Dao should also be considered the 'Lord of Flames'.

"It's a pity that this fellow Daoist ultimately failed to achieve Dao integration," Zhou Hao shook his head regretfully.

He himself was able to deduce the Ultimate Taiji Dao to perfection after countless revisions. If it weren't for the magical Small Universe cultivated by the Force System, even if the deduction failed, at most he would only lose some of the universe's origin, and he could deduce it again and restructure it.

If it were like other Dao Lord on the path of Qi Refining, where only the final union with the Dao could be tested, and failure would result in the dissipation and death of one's true spirit, then one would also be unable to succeed.

The unknown is what's most terrifying.

After expressing his regret and sighs, Zhou Hao began his reading.

He first studied the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao, and then buried himself in the hundreds of billions of jade slips in the hall.

The vast array of methods comes from various races, realms, and universes... representing the crystallization of wisdom from powerful cultivators.

Zhou Hao read through the scrolls of jade slips one by one, and his eyes were opened wide.

The twelve volumes I had previously read, which depicted the Ultimate Dao that had reached the edge of the Dao but failed, have gained me a deeper understanding due to my broadened perspective.

The understanding of the ultimate paths—the ultimate path of fire, the ultimate path of lightning, the ultimate path of light, the ultimate path of darkness, the ultimate path of space, the Ultimate Dao path of time—is also rapidly increasing!

As his understanding of countless principles surged, Zhou Hao felt that he too was beginning a transformation.

This is a kind of profound foundation.

A profound enhancement of one's understanding after thoroughly studying the wisdom and insights of two great Cultivator Civilization.

As the saying goes, "A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance."

The white-haired old man watched silently as Zhou Hao, immersed in the ocean of countless methods, became more reserved and extraordinary, even faintly resembling his master's Daoist aura.

Time flies like an arrow; a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

A dark place far away.

In the dark void, there is a huge triangular region.

At the heart of the triangular area stand magnificent palaces, each one floating and radiating golden light.

Within these palaces, even the servants exuded immense power, the weakest being at the level of Lord of the Holy City.

Nothing more.

Because this place is the cave dwelling of Supreme Hongran.
