Who can say for sure?
Another manager shrugged and casually said:
"The lord is Dao Lord, a powerful being. It's not uncommon for him to go into seclusion for thousands or even tens of thousands of years at a time."
"However, with the Final Calamity of Heaven and Earth approaching, and the Grand Master having been in seclusion for two hundred years, he should be emerging soon..."
Upon hearing this, the servants all began to speculate and offer their own guesses.
For the past two hundred years, other Dao Lord have repeatedly entered the Great Tomb of Eternity to explore, fight, and desperately seize opportunities.
Only the Wanjie Dao Lord, whom they served, devoted himself to ascetic cultivation and never even left his home.
However, this also reassured them somewhat, since exploration and combat always carry the risk of death. If Wanjie Dao Lord were to die, they would have no one to rely on.
In the past two hundred years, more than six hundred Dao Lord have died.
Too many Dao Lord died, causing the people of the Great Wilderness to gradually become numb, after initially being terrified and incredulous.
While the servants were discussing this amongst themselves:
Deep within the Wanjie Dao Palace, in a quiet room, Chen Qingyu's cultivation had reached a crucial juncture.
"Rumble..."
The flowing black and white divine light refracted countless colors, vibrating endlessly, illuminating the space as if it were a crystal solid.
Two hundred years have passed:
The independent Law of Order have advanced to a point that is infinitely close to the Realm of the Heavenly Lord.
This is not simply retracing the path of the Heavenly Lord, but rather overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles while facing towering mountains, cutting through thorns and brambles in the way, to achieve what we have today.
In just two hundred years, it has traversed a path that ordinary Heavenly Lord might not be able to complete even in two billion years.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu's breathing was long and deep, his mind completely immersed in cultivation.
Within the Inner Heaven and Earth:
The Dao of Myriad Calamities, as brilliant as the sun and moon, hangs high in the center of the sky. It takes the Law of Change as its core, the three major laws of time, space, and destruction as its auxiliary laws, and the remaining Upper-Tier Law as its wings.
On the opposite side of the Dao of Myriad Calamities, there is a pure white law with a magnificent and vast aura, which Law of Order, which is close to perfection!
It is like a mirror, reflecting the myriad forms and changes of the Dao of Myriad Calamities.
"We've finally reached this point..."
Sparks of thought kept flying through Chen Qingyu's mind, and a constant stream of inspirations emerged.
The " Heavenly Rule Divine Ruler " in his hand became the best guide and reference, showing him how to climb the final step of the Law of Order.
"Bring it on!"
His heart was filled with fighting spirit; the accumulation of two hundred years was transformed into a torrent that crashed upwards.
In an instant:
His mind jolted, and as his consciousness wavered slightly, he seemed to hear an incomparably beautiful celestial sound resounding throughout.
The Law of Order within the Inner Heaven and Earth have finally been completed, reaching the level of the Heavenly Lord.
"Boom!"
The perfect Law of Order radiated Immeasurable brilliance, welcoming the Dao of Myriad Calamities.
The Law of Change and the Law of Order are like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, rotating and intertwining, opposing yet encompassing each other.
This moment:
With the complete dual core Dao of Myriad Calamities in place, the aura of the other Upper-Tier Law began to surge wildly, instantly reaching a new level!
With just one step away, the power of the Dao of Myriad Calamities increased more than tenfold, truly reaching the highest level of the Heavenly Lord!
"It's done!"
Chen Qingyu opened his eyes, revealing a genuine joy:
"After two hundred years of arduous cultivation, I have finally stepped into the Third Step of the Heavenly Lord!"
With a slight movement of his divine sense, he sensed the Power of Myriad Calamities within his Inner Heaven and Earth, almost freeing himself from the constraints of time, space, and all other laws.
"Whoosh..."
The Order of Wanjie surged forth like a tidal wave, expanding at an incredible speed in an instant, far exceeding the limitations of the Wanjie Domain.
Upon entering the Third Step, the power of the Heavenly Lord inherently possesses a true and inexhaustible power that is boundless and Eternity enduring.
"Hmm..."
The Order of Wanjie surged forth and immediately collided with other order powers of the same level.
Among the dozens of rules and regulations of the same level, many were clearly opposed to his Order of Wanjie, making it difficult for them to coexist harmoniously.
As soon as Chen Qingyu had a thought, the " Law of Change " and " Law of Order " at the core of the Dao of Myriad Calamities began to rotate slightly.
In an instant:
The disappearance of that invisible repulsive force signifies the elimination of the conflict.
"Good!"
A smile appeared on Chen Qingyu's face.
Just as he had guessed, upon reaching the Third Step of the Heavenly Lord, his mastery over his own rules and regulations rose to another level, allowing him to make various minor adjustments at will.
The Third Step, the order of the great power, no matter how many there are, will no longer conflict with each other.
"Boom..."
With the final obstacle removed, the Order of Wanjie expanded to the entire Great Wilderness in just a few breaths.
A vast and powerful force of order permeated the heavens and earth, symbolizing the emergence of another Dao Lord at the Third Step within the Great Wilderness.
At this moment, many Dao Lord within the Great Wilderness couldn't help but look up at the sky, a sense of astonishment rising in their hearts.
"Good heavens! Another Third Step powerhouse has emerged!"
"Who is it? This force of order is rather unfamiliar..."
"It's the Wanjie Dao Lord! I was once beaten by him... no, I had dealings with him before, this is his power of order!"
"So it was Wanjie Dao Lord! He was already renowned and recognized for his formidable combat power. He must have accumulated profound experience, breaking through to the Third Step after two hundred years of seclusion. That's incredible!"
"That's right. The fact that Wanjie Dao Lord went into seclusion earlier sparked a lot of speculation. It turns out it was to break through to the Third Step..."
The hundreds of Heavenly Lord who remained in the Great Wilderness discussed among themselves in twos and threes, each with a different expression.
And within the Wanjie Dao Palace:
Chen Qingyu withdrew his divine sense, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Unexpectedly, even among the Third Step powerhouses, there have been those who perished..."
He had already noticed that among the dozens of orderly forces at the same level, three familiar ones were missing, while two unfamiliar ones had appeared.
It is obvious:
In the past two hundred years, three powerful beings at the Third Step have died, while two Dao Lord at the Second Step have advanced.
Even powerful beings at the Third Step have perished; one can only imagine the devastating casualties among the remaining Dao Lord at the First Step and Second Step.
"This is truly a time of great strife, a struggle for survival amidst death..."
Chen Qingyu sighed, then turned his divine sense towards the Wanjie Domain, and was slightly taken aback:
"Huh? Why is everyone gone?"
"Could it be that Dao Lord Gouchen and the others are all dead? Or are they not in the Wanjie Domain?"
Thinking of this, he stood up and waved his sleeve.
"Boom!"
The door to the quiet room suddenly swung open.
Hearing the commotion, the servants were overjoyed and rushed over from all directions.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Upon seeing Chen Qingyu, many servants knelt and kowtowed, their expressions extremely respectful.
Get up.
Chen Qingyu gestured with his sleeve and asked:
Where are Dao Lord Gouchen and the others?
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
