Heavenly Venerable of Supreme Purity, the Chaos Epoch

Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island in the East Sea.

Luo Qiao... or rather, Cult Master Tongtian, unusually, did not preach, but instead stood atop the highest mountain of the Biyou Palace.

From a distance, one could see him with his hands behind his back, facing the raging winds and torrential rain of the East Sea.

"Teacher, I thought you would choose me!"

With a long sigh, the voice of the Cult Master Tongtian seemed to reveal a faint sense of resentment.

The next second, a sharp, Formless Sword Qi burst forth from his body.

Before the raging winds and torrential rain could even get close to the Biyou Palace, they were parted by the powerful Sword Qi.

For a moment, apart from the fluttering robes of the Cult Master Tongtian, only the occasional roar of a dragon could be heard from afar.

"Your Four Swords of Immortal Slaying are too ruthless, coupled with your deep emotions..."

"Leaving you my Primordial Spirit and empty shell will only bring you harm and no benefit."

Lying comfortably on the cushions in the Biyou Palace, Li Boyang's tone became much more relaxed.

"Besides, you have fully inherited my ' Lucid Sword Heart,' isn't that much better than that Primordial Spirit and empty shell?"

Li Boyang was telling the truth; Lucid Sword Heart is a talent, a Divine Ability, and an intangible asset.

Only by inheriting this intangible asset could the Cult Master Tongtian truly be called the "Cult Master Tongtian".

In contrast, while the Primordial Spirit and the empty shell possess immense value, they also come with greater danger.

Especially for someone as loyal and righteous as the Cult Master Tongtian, he certainly wouldn't desecrate the Primordial Spirit and empty shell left behind by Li Boyang. In this way, the Cult Master Tongtian would be like guarding a gold mine without using it, and would also have to attract the covetous eyes of various people.

"If that's the case, then I'm even more eager to see that ' Sun-Swallowing Divine Lord ' who is worthy of your entrustment."

Making no attempt to conceal his resentment towards the Heaven-Eroding Lord, the Cult Master Tongtian originally believed himself to be the most trustworthy person to whom he could entrust his affairs.

Unexpectedly, all I received in the end was my teacher's Sword Dao and [Lucid Sword Heart].

"You were already close to reaching the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal..."

"At this stage, instead of getting distracted by external things, you should focus on yourself; that's where you're most likely to achieve a breakthrough."

Li Boyang stood up with a broad smile, his voice filled with a carefree and knowing understanding of everything.

"Let me guess, you now have powerful incarnations in the past and future, and some of them are even close to your current level."

"But no matter what, you can't break through that barrier and truly achieve absolute unity of the past, present, and future, right?" Never intending to hide it from Li Boyang, the Cult Master Tongtian simply nodded with a hint of helplessness.

"You said that one who unifies all things can be called Great Luo Golden Immortal..."

"But it's already so difficult for me just to straighten out the timeline and unify my past, present, and future selves. I simply can't imagine the state of 'unity of all things'."

For someone whose cultivation has reached the level of the Cult Master Tongtian, the inability to imagine means that they can never reach that level.

When a practitioner's spiritual level is low, they can act first and think later.

You could even blindly follow the path paved by your predecessors, since you can't go wrong anyway.

However, once one's cultivation level is raised, if a cultivator does not have their own ideas, it becomes very difficult for them to go astray, take the wrong path, or even suffer from Qi Deviation.

"The idea that one can drastically increase their cultivation level through madness or fanaticism is simply impossible for cultivators at this level." "No, this precisely means you are on the path to becoming Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Li Boyang gently shook his head, rejecting the Cult Master Tongtian's idea, but at this moment he revealed a completely different viewpoint.

"Every Great Luo Golden Immortal is unique, a 'miracle' forged by the past, present, and future."

"You can't see the road ahead because you have too many thoughts."

"If you ever have the chance in the future, you should really go and meet the Heaven-Eroding Lord. He doesn't have as many thoughts as you; he's just single-mindedly pursuing his own path."

Before he finished speaking, Li Boyang turned his head again to look in the direction of Great Xia, and then his figure began to disappear little by little.

"Heaven-Eroding Lord?"

After watching Li Boyang leave, the Cult Master Tongtian murmured to himself for a long time.

"I will see him sooner or later, and I will prove to you that I am the person you can trust and rely on the most."

"Or should I go to the future to find him now?"

As his memories began to fade, the Cult Master Tongtian remained determined to find the Heaven-Eroding Lord —even though he had forgotten what he wanted to obtain from him.

So, in the future, spanning a vast expanse of Long River of Time, in an unknown era after the world has been destroyed and reopened.

A giant wearing a jade crown and a Daoist robe suddenly opened his eyes, and the Green Duckweed Sword in his hand cleaved through the chaos in front of him.

"With a single sword strike, Qingping shattered the primordial chaos; even the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is hard to find."

"All things return to one, revealing the secrets of Heaven; all beings seek the Dao, calling upon the Supreme Purity."

The Netherworld, Ghost City of Fengdu.

Wu Yao stood at the head of the Bridge of Helplessness, gazing intently and distantly at the Fengdu Palace.

Just like the Cult Master Tongtian, Li Boyang had just severed his karmic ties with her.

If the Cult Master Tongtian was the one who received Li Boyang's teachings, then Wu Yao was the one who passed on those teachings to Li Boyang.

The simultaneous severing of the causal relationship between the two parties also means that Li Boyang is one step closer to transcendence.

However, unlike the Cult Master Tongtian, Wu Yao did not gradually forget everything related to Li Boyang.

Whether it's her control over the "Meng Po's Soup" or her own [Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability], she has an extremely strong ability to adapt to this situation.

"It's better to sever ties completely with cause and effect."

Muttering something under her breath, Wu Yao drank the Meng Po's Soup in her hand without hesitation.

In order not to affect Li Boyang's Dao Merging, this was the only thing Wu Yao could do to help him.

After a moment, Wu Yao looked around blankly and gazed at the Three Lives Stone at the head of the Bridge of Helplessness.

Gazing at that divine stone, which in theory could see through past and present lives and know all cause and effect.

Wu Yao suddenly smiled calmly, then decisively turned and stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness, showing not a trace of lingering affection or thirst for knowledge. The same situation also occurred in the Netherworld, and even in the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm.

Yama, Shao Pu, Ye Ming, Lu Ya, Zhenwu, Zhuang Zhou...

These beings, whether directly or indirectly connected to Li Boyang, forget at different speeds depending on their strength. Only those Dao Proving One have transcended the Long River of Time and reside permanently in the Heaven Beyond Heaven can barely resist the forgetting that comes with the severing of causality. But everyone knows that forgetting the Dao Ancestor is only a matter of time.

The Purple Firmament Palace in the Heaven Beyond Heaven is simply slow to forget because it is not involved in karma.

Upon thinking of this, all the Dao Proving One of the Purple Firmament Palace turned their gazes once again to the battle between Dao Ancestor and Lü Yan.

Calling it a "battle" is an exaggeration; it was purely Lü Yan being beaten on his own.

While deflecting the opponent's various sword moves, the Dao Ancestor also had the mind to provide detailed explanations and guidance.

Although for Lü Yan, this did indeed achieve his goal.

Seeing the Dao Ancestor's calm demeanor, seemingly unconcerned about deepening his karmic ties with this world because of this battle, Lü Yan felt a strange sense of unease.

Why is this happening?

[Could it be... that I've overlooked something?]
