Great Dao Divine Ability, Immortal Emperor Cang Hong
In Liu Yi's Portable Daoist Sanctum bedroom, a vast imperial aura permeated the air, but the terrifying pressure was completely contained by the array within the room, and not a single trace leaked out.
He slowly opened his eyes, countless Great Dao Runes flashing in his eyes, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
"I have finally digested the insights into the Great Dao from my Past Self and successfully stepped into the Quasi-Martial Emperor. I am only one step away from becoming a true Emperor."
I never expected that my Past Self, who was accidentally stranded in High Antiquity, would be temporarily elevated to the Martial Emperor level through the Heavenly Dao.
He personally suppressed the Blood God and a group of Devil Race experts, protecting the entire Azure Billows Realm.
Alas, merely interfering in matters of the past could not escape the karmic consequences, and the Past Self ultimately perished in High Antiquity times.
However, I didn't lose out either. Not only did my cultivation break through to the Quasi-Martial Emperor level, but I also personally experienced the wonders of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, by taking advantage of the opportunity to merge with the Heavenly Dao, he comprehended the Great Dao, adding a total of 152 Great Dao Principle at the level of the Great Chiliocosm.
He focused his mind inward to observe his own body, and his internal Law Power surged, increasing his strength several times over.
His Mind World refined a large amount of Soul Power, and with the feedback from his Past Self, his divine soul broke through the shackles and reached the Martial Emperor level;
Even the Cell World within the body is stuck at the threshold of advancement, ready to transform into Small Chiliocosm at any moment.
Once the Cell World has broken through to the Small Chiliocosm,
Based on his understanding of the Martial Emperor Realm, he knew that his physical strength far surpassed that of Martial Emperor, and even at his current stage, his physical strength was in no way inferior to that of Martial Emperor.
Otherwise, his Past Self wouldn't have been able to withstand the power of the Martial Emperor and suppress the Blood God.
He plans to advance the Cell World to the Small Chiliocosm, and then break through to the Martial Emperor.
At that time, there will be Martial Emperor- level divine soul, physical body, and Great Dao.
At that time, with the unity of "essence, energy, spirit, and Dao," one can cultivate Law Power at the level of Martial Emperor.
Even if he hadn't become Martial Emperor, his combat strength was no less than that of Martial Emperor.
With the help of his Past Self and Future Self, proving Martial Emperor is easy, and once he breaks through, he can become one of the strongest among Martial Emperor.
Unfortunately, his Past Self has been destroyed and will have to be reconstituted in the future.
At the same time, relying on the insights he gained from his Past Self as Martial Emperor, coupled with his personal experience fighting the Blood God,
Those who have reached the Martial Emperor do not need to deliberately activate their Divine Ability; every move they make carries the power of the Great Dao.
Therefore, before formally breaking through to the Martial Emperor level, he needs to integrate all his knowledge and create his own unique Imperial Law or Great Dao Divine Ability based on his own Great Dao of the World.
In this way, one can better integrate the power of "essence, energy, spirit, and the Way" and fully unleash one's own strength.
Of course, the various Divine Ability cultivated in the past can still be used, but there is no need to deliberately use them anymore. As long as the mind flows, the power of the Divine Ability powers can be displayed at will.
Right now, he plans to first upgrade the Cell World within his body to Small Chiliocosm.
Liu Yi calmed his mind, successively taking out the World Origin from the Xuanyi World and swallowing it into his stomach, then activating his Cell World to devour and refine it.
The accumulated Energy Points are then converted into pure energy, which is then supplied to the Cell World for absorption.
"Buzz!"
A profound and resonant Daoist sound erupted from within, and the first Cell World broke through its shackles, advancing to Small Chiliocosm.
A faint ray of divine light emanated from his body.
Time passed slowly, and more and more Cell World completed their advancements.
His body radiated an ever-brighter light, eventually coalescing into a cocoon of great light that completely enveloped him.
Countless Great Dao Runes floated and evolved on the cocoon of light, and the phantoms of the heavens and the universe appeared alternately, with the majestic and boundless imperial might rising steadily.
At this moment, with the fall of the Past Self, the entire causal chain was completely closed, and a group of cultivators who had survived from High Antiquity inexplicably had memories of Liu Yi in their minds.
Those with lower cultivation levels could only glimpse a faint Daoist image in High Antiquity, and had no way of knowing Liu Yi's true appearance.
Inside a Dao Palace high above the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm.
The Dao Ancestor Cang Hong of the Immortal Cultivation System suddenly opened his eyes, flipping through the memories that had appeared out of thin air in his soul, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"I see!
No wonder the events of High Antiquity have always been shrouded in mystery. Even after I became an Immortal Emperor, I still couldn't see through the true form of that senior.
It turned out that the person was Fellow Liu Yi.
He did not belong to the High Antiquity era; he simply used some unknown means to travel back in time.
However, interfering in matters of the past will ultimately lead to karmic retribution, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence.
He sighed softly, full of regret, "Fellow Daoist Liu Yi sacrificed himself to protect all living beings and the Azure Billows Realm. His magnanimity and righteousness are admirable. It is truly a pity that we cannot have the opportunity to discuss the Dao in person."
But what did he mean by saying we would meet again in the future?
He frowned, deep in thought.
Interfering in matters of the past will incur immense karmic consequences.
Even though he is now Immortal Emperor, he dares not change the events of the past.
Any reckless interference could result in serious injury or even death.
Back then, Liu Yi only temporarily advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm with external force. He was not a true Immortal Emperor, so naturally he could not withstand the backlash of cause and effect and perished in High Antiquity times.
It seems that the meeting he mentioned was perhaps a brief encounter I had with him when he was Tribulation Transcendence.
"What a pity! Such a gifted genius, destined to become an emperor, yet he bravely sacrificed himself to protect the people of the Azure Billows Realm. Truly admirable."
Cang Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"I am now Immortal Emperor, and I am fully capable of resurrecting people from the Long River of Time."
Fellow Daoist Liu Yi wasn't a true Immortal Emperor back then; he temporarily broke through to a higher realm with external help. Reviving him wouldn't be too difficult.
At this thought, his mind stirred, and he entered the Long River of Time. Just as he was about to revive Liu Yi, his face suddenly turned pale, and his heart pounded with fear:
"No! Liu Yi's figure in the Long River of Time is very blurry, as if it has been deliberately concealed by many forces, and it also carries a heavy burden of cause and effect."
If I were to intervene rashly, I would immediately face a backlash.
Could it be that Liu Yi did not truly perish?
He was utterly astonished, finding it hard to believe.
Interfering in matters of the past is forbidden by all the heavens.
Even as a Immortal Emperor, he dared not touch it casually, lest he be entangled in karma.
"Could it be that Liu Yi withstood the karmic backlash and survived?"
But I clearly witnessed him being utterly destroyed, so I couldn't possibly have been mistaken.
But if he truly died and vanished, how could his image in the Long River of Time be so blurred?
Even with my cultivation as Immortal Emperor, I cannot see through the truth.
This situation doesn't resemble that of a deceased person at all; rather, it seems as if he deliberately concealed his whereabouts.
Cang Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly in resignation.
It's hard to believe that anyone could withstand the backlash of countless karmic consequences and survive.
But the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe that there really was someone as extraordinary as Liu Yi in the world.
No wonder Fellow Daoist Liu Yi said his life was not in danger.
It seems I won't be needed to help; I was just being presumptuous.
I hope we'll have the chance to meet again someday and have a serious discussion.
He gently shook his head, turned around and returned to the Daoist palace, closing his eyes to concentrate on cultivation.
Azure Billows Realm, Azure Firmament Continent.
In the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm Immortal-Devil Cemetery Realm, a sudden and astonishing phenomenon erupted the instant Liu Yi's Past Self perished.
Countless High Antiquity immortal and demonic figures and remnant souls emerged from the tombs, their roars and howls echoing through the sky, their celestial and demonic energy surging and instantly engulfing the entire cemetery.
