Bonus Chapter: Another Breakthrough, the Origin of Chaos Universe!
"Greetings, Your Supreme."
The Mangya Sovereign was the first to excitedly bow, and the others followed suit with great respect.
"Hmm." The bald old man nodded casually, his gaze fixed on the dark void in the distance.
With his level of attainment, even without any light or the origin of the universe, he could form clear images in his mind through perception, as if he were seeing them with his own eyes.
"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng is surrounded by a cosmic membrane protecting his body, this is... a secret technique?"
The bald old man was none other than Supreme Hongran, who had come to see Zhou Hao.
He cultivated the ' Origin of Myriad Dao Causality ' and, following the cause and effect of his preordained meeting with Zhou Hao, came directly to the Yu Star Sea and witnessed the entire process of Zhou Hao breaking through the Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel.
Although puzzled, they wondered why this Changsheng Dao Lord's aura was different from that of other cultivators, and he didn't even possess the eternal aura of the Emperor who had merged with the Origin of Chaos Universe.
Having witnessed Zhou Hao's prowess, Supreme Hongran knew that this Changsheng Dao Lord was on the same Supreme as their supreme cultivators.
Even if one's understanding of the Dao is not yet at the level of "One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos", it is only that the breadth is insufficient, but the specialization is stronger than that of the Supreme.
"Rumble~~~"
The last ripples after the destruction of the Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel finally dissipated.
The two enormous vortexes, originally the size of hundreds of Damo Domain, disappeared, leaving only a Small Universe with a diameter of over a billion miles floating in the void.
At the core of the origin of Small Universe.
Zhou Hao, now back to his original size, stood amidst the endless, powerful chaotic air currents.
"So this is Yin and Yang." Zhou Hao murmured to himself, his mind filled with the scene of the final destruction of the Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel.
"Yin and Yang are opposites, Yin and Yang clash, Yin and Yang transform... Humans have male and female, energy has Yin and Yang, vital energy has Yin and Yang, all things in the world contain opposition and mutual transformation, all conform to the way of Yin and Yang, and space and the universe are no different."
"Rise!"
With a single thought, Zhou Hao's will enveloped the entire Small Universe.
Both the primordial core and all the space outside the primordial source trembled.
After he comprehended the Ultimate Space Dao last time, the Small Universe initially formed a framework, but the spaces that formed inside it simply evolved, were born, and were destroyed naturally.
But now, with the integration of the principles of Yin and Yang, the spaces that were originally like smooth, independent wooden planks have suddenly been divided into Yin and Yang, and have become concave and convex.
Between the yin and yang of different spaces, the concave and convex parts combine, just like the mortise and tenon joints in traditional Chinese architecture and furniture. In the process of opposition, conflict and mutual transformation, the entire Small Universe suddenly becomes tight.
"Rumble~~~"
The endless chaotic airflow outside the Small Universe was frantically sucked in, and in the void within the universe, massive amounts of black and white chaotic power seawater gushed out like a fountain.
The chaotic energy of the seawater drifted and spread throughout the universe, causing the slightly transparent cosmic membrane to turn gray, and the origin of the universe surged dramatically, increasing by more than 50% compared to before.
"Having integrated with the Ultimate Yin-Yang Dao, I'm one step closer to complete transformation." Zhou Hao's face lit up with joy as he retracted the Small Universe into his internal chaotic space.
"Haha... Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your further progress." Accompanied by a hearty laugh, a bald old man in a black robe flew over through the void.
"Supreme?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.
This bald old man's aura far surpassed that of Dominator. Even Zhou Hao felt a terrifying sense of oppression upon seeing him. Apart from the supreme Supreme who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation, Zhou Hao couldn't think of any other being who could make him feel threatened.
"I am Hongran. Fellow Daoist, do you remember when you wanted to see me 100,000 years ago?" The bald old man walked over with a smile, his two fleshy beards swaying, seemingly quite excited.
"Greetings, Supreme Hongran." Zhou Hao cupped his hands and said, "Because of the long journey, I have been unable to make my trip until now, and I am truly sorry to have Supreme Hongran waiting."
"Ahem, well, it's all because the little ones below are incompetent, it's not your fault, Fellow Daoist," Supreme Hongran quickly changed the subject. "But it's precisely because of this that I had the opportunity to witness your abilities, Fellow Daoist, it's quite a fortunate thing, haha, a fortunate thing indeed!"
"You flatter me Supreme Hongran," Zhou Hao said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, your strength is no less than that of us Supreme. You may simply call me Hongran," Supreme Hongran said.
"Fellow Daoist Hongran." After all, he was a senior cultivator who had come specifically for him, so out of respect, Zhou Hao did not address Supreme Hongran title.
"Changsheng." Supreme Hongran carefully sensed Zhou Hao's aura. "When I watched you fight before, your realm in the Tai Chi, Space, and Yin-Yang paths was comparable to ours, Supreme. Are you pursuing the Ultimate Dao?"
"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded.
"So there really are three Ultimate Dao?" Supreme Hongran's eyes widened. "Then your current strength and realm before even merging with the Dao is because you are simultaneously pursuing three Ultimate Dao?"
"No," Zhou Hao explained, "The three Ultimate Dao I have comprehended have all been deduced to perfection. The reason they haven't merged with the Dao is because the cultivation system I practice is rather unique."
"A special cultivation system?" Supreme Hongran was even more surprised, and the two fleshy whiskers on his head stood up like two fleshy horns.
call.
Zhou Hao waved his hand, and a wisp of azure mist energy, 'Original Force,' shot towards Supreme Hongran.
The current Force energy, when densely misty, is almost indistinguishable from liquid water; it has not yet fully transformed, and some mist still remains mixed within it.
"Three forces combined? No, no, besides immortal power, divine power, and mental power, there seems to be the power of the universe's origin, but that doesn't quite make sense..." Supreme Hongran sensed the primordial power, feeling somewhat uncertain.
"Fellow Hongran is right. In addition to immortal power, divine power, and mental power, there is indeed a fusion of primordial power, but it is not the primordial power of the Chaos Universe, but the primordial power of my own Small Universe."
As he spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to Zhou Hao.
Instantly, a hazy cosmic membrane formed in the distant vicinity of both of them.
"What is this?" Supreme Hongran was startled.
He could no longer sense the origin of the Cultivator Universe.
Even the crisscrossing, omnipresent lines of cause and effect that he had previously perceived had all vanished.
Moreover, although the entire void was filled with chaotic power, he was unable to mobilize even a fraction of it.
Moreover, the oppressive aura emanating from the entire void made Supreme Hongran feel as if he was being rejected and suppressed.
It's like... it's like entering another Chaos Universe!
Supreme Hongran shocked.
For some reason, he thought of the Sith Clan elders.
Those Venerable Ones, who were clearly Supreme Realm experts in their home universe of the Sith Clan race, could only exert combat power that was slightly stronger than the Dominator and Lord of Alien Universe, but far inferior to the Supreme Cultivators, after arriving in the Cultivator Universe.
My current situation is exactly the same as theirs.
You must remember, I'm still in the Cultivator Universe!
"This is my Small Universe," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "It was only after I comprehended the perfect Ultimate Taiji Dao that my Small Universe took shape. Then, I successively incorporated the two Ultimate Dao of space and Yin Yang, which is why it is what it is now."
"This is terrible, absolutely terrible!" Supreme Hongran exclaimed repeatedly. "Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, please withdraw your divine powers first. I feel extremely uncomfortable."
Wow~~~
The Small Universe membrane covering an area of over a billion miles vanished instantly.
Feeling the familiar origin of the Cultivator Universe once again, Supreme Hongran let out a long sigh. His gaze towards Zhou Hao was filled with fervor, amazement, expectation... and a trace of fear, a strangely complex mix.
"Fellow Daoist Hongran?" Zhou Hao asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Supreme Hongran suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and said, " With Changsheng Daoist Changsheng possessing such strength, the crisis of survival of our Cultivator Civilization can finally be resolved. I will inform the other Supreme immediately."
"A crisis of survival?" Zhou Hao was shocked.
What's so serious?
Could it be a natural force, like the Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel, capable of destroying the entire Cultivator Universe?
Whether it's the Three Realms on a small Three Realms or the Flame Dragon Domain on a large scale, once they can no longer bear the proliferation of more and more living beings, calamities will inevitably arise in the dark to repeat the chaos and reincarnate once more. This natural law of heaven and earth is probably no exception to the Chaos Universe that gave birth to the entire Cultivator Civilization.
Thinking of the current flourishing Cultivator Civilization, Zhou Hao immediately had this thought.
"The other Supreme are scattered throughout the universe, and it would be too troublesome for them to come here. Let's go to the Origin of Chaos Universe, where there is the Tianshi's abode. The other Supreme can get there quickly from their respective places," said Supreme Hongran. "Once we get to the Tianshi, we can discuss this matter together. Standing in the void like this is not a suitable place to talk."
To the Origin of Chaos Universe?
Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat.
yes.
My own Small Universe also has an origin, and this trip is a good opportunity to see and understand the Origin of Chaos Universe. Perhaps it can also inspire me to build my own Small Universe.
Um.
Bring along your Second Primordial Spirit.
At that time, I will also open up a cave dwelling within the Origin of Chaos Universe, leaving my Second Primordial Spirit there to cultivate.
"Fellow Hongran, please wait a moment. I'll go and give some instructions," Zhou Hao said.
"No rush. If Fellow Changsheng needs to make arrangements for his clansmen and relatives, it's fine to let those guys wait a few days." Supreme Hongran glanced at the Void Holy City in the distance.
With his profound understanding of cause and effect, he could naturally see that the karmic connection between the immortals and demons and Zhou Hao was extremely deep.
"No need, it will be over in a moment."
Swoosh.
With a single step, Zhou Hao traversed the void and arrived before the Three Great Sovereigns and a host of Emperor.
There is Second Primordial Spirit within the Void Holy City. The message that I will follow the Supreme away can be conveyed to the Second Primordial Spirit.
He came to see these Dominator Emperor of the Flame Dragon Domain only to instruct them to look after his clansmen and relatives.
"Rest assured, Dao Lord, from now on, the Damo Domain, the Zhouguang Domain, and the Scarlet Snow Holy City will be the absolute holy lands of our Flame Dragon Domain. No cultivator may disobey the orders of the Changsheng Dao Academy, nor may they kill any disciples of the Changsheng Dao Academy. Anyone who disobeys this order will be jointly annihilated by our six forces!"
The leaders of the six major forces, including the Mangya Sovereign, the Fengyu Overlord, the Minglan Overlord, and the Emperor Jin Yu, all readily made their promises.
Those who can reach this level of spiritual cultivation are not fools.
The Changsheng Dao Lord's journey is not a one-way trip, and judging from the Supreme's attitude, it is clear that the Changsheng Dao Lord is a super being who can interact with the Supreme on an equal footing.
If it weren't for the aura emanating from Zhou Hao that left them uncertain, the Mangya Sovereign and the others would have wanted to change their address to ' Changsheng Supreme ' directly.
Only someone with a death wish would dare to provoke the hometown and sphere of influence of a Supreme being!
But the Dominator Emperor certainly wouldn't say that in front of Zhou Hao.
"If the Changsheng Dao Lord hadn't resolved the Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel, when the extinction crisis arrived in the future, almost all the weaker life forms in the entire realm would have perished!"
"Yes, we can only take a very small number of things with us when we migrate and wander, and even those that we can take will probably die in the process of migrating. All living beings in the entire Flame Dragon Domain should thank Dao Lord!"
Seeing the sincere expressions on Mangya Sovereign's face, Zhou Hao shook his head and did not refuse again.
"It seems the academy will have to add a rule from now on: newly graduated disciples must not reveal that they are disciples of the academy, and they must conceal their identities when venturing out to hone their skills..."
"If the entire Flame Dragon Domain were to treat the disciples of the Changsheng Dao Academy like royalty, wouldn't that be feeding a bunch of useless trash?"
Swoosh.
The Second Primordial Spirit put away the Void Holy City and came to Zhou Hao in white robes.
At the same time, Supreme Hongran received a telepathic message from Zhou Hao and also traveled through the void to arrive.
"Fellow Daoist, you even have Second Primordial Spirit. It's truly enviable," Supreme Hongran said with admiration.
They all only have one Dharma Body, Zhou Hao has Second Primordial Spirit, which is equivalent to having two independent souls and true spirits, and he can also give birth to two more Dharma Body.
In other words, Zhou Hao alone is equivalent to four Supreme combatants, and that doesn't even include the terrifying Small Universe.
That's a monster! We can't afford to mess with it!
Supreme Hongran immediately decided that he would never provoke Zhou Hao, this monster, again.
"Let's go, Fellow Hongran," Zhou Hao said.
"Alright." Supreme Hongran gestured with his hand, "Open."
Wow.
Dao Sect time and space has been opened.
Beyond the door lies a vast and powerful force, the very energy of this cosmic origin.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, please," Supreme Hongran.
"Okay." Zhou Hao took the lead and entered the Origin of Chaos Universe.
As the origin of the universe, primordial energy is omnipresent.
As long as there is no magic array or powerful being in the Chaos Universe to force back the origin, one can enter directly from any point.
But that requires extraordinary strength and realm. Ordinary cultivators, including the Lord of Alien Universe, simply cannot find the Origin of Chaos Universe. Only the Supreme can do it so easily.
Even Zhou Hao, despite his strong realm and strength, being on the same level as the Supreme, was unable to find the Origin Space of the Chaos Universe because he had not yet achieved Dao Integration.
"Rumble~~~"
Upon entering the Origin Space, Zhou Hao felt as if he were a mortal entering the ocean, surrounded by a vast and endless surge of Origin Power.
The oppressive force of the vast primordial energy was so strong that even ordinary Dominator would perish instantly upon entering.
"Hoo." Zhou Hao released a small amount of his Small Universe's origin, forming a thin layer of light on his body, which immediately neutralized the oppressive force of the surrounding origin.
"The Tianshi Cave is still some distance away. I'll take you there quickly."
Compared to Zhou Hao, who had to resist the pressure of the primordial power of the universe, Supreme Hongran had it much easier.
The Origin of Myriad Dao Causality that he has mastered is also part of the origin of the Cultivator Universe. When the Supreme Hongran is in it, it is like a fish returning to the sea, and he is not subject to any oppression or rejection.
Wow~~~
Supreme Hongran led Zhou Hao forward rapidly. Zhou Hao was happy to relax and looked around.
If it weren't for the surging power of Origin of Chaos, this place would just be an ordinary void.
The entire ' Origin of Chaos Universe ' seems to be formed by the convergence of many different lakes, each lake representing an origin, which are integrated and yet clearly distinct.
Zhou Hao was led by Supreme Hongran to wander through it, where the origins of Lightning Origin, Water Origin, Ice Origin... each one was surging and vast, none superior to the other.
"The power of origin doesn't have a hierarchy?" Zhou Hao was somewhat surprised.
His own Small Universe, no matter what Ultimate Dao it incorporates, will still be the strongest foundation, undoubtedly the origin of Tai Chi.
"Could it be because the Cultivator Universe is naturally formed?"
"That's right! Only when nurtured by the laws of nature can there be no bias or preference."
"If one day this Chaos Universe is refined and controlled by living beings, its fundamental power will likely shift in some direction..."
Zhou Hao seemed to be deep in thought.
