Dao Paths Manifest, Countless Daos Vie for Glory!

Right there on the platform, martial artists from all sides sat quietly on their prayer mats, comprehending the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, diligently accumulating strength and preparing for the final battle for the Eternal Dragon Gate.

Outside in the Central Plains, storms are silently brewing that will sweep through the imperial court, Aristocratic Clan, and sects.

The Divine Capital, headquarters of the Gold-Wielding Guard.

Feng Xu stood before the long desk covered with urgent secret reports, remaining awake for three days straight.

The tea on the table went cold and was replaced again and again, but his gaze never left the secret reports.

And now it is... February of the third year of the Tianshun!

More than four months have passed since the world's most talented individuals entered the Dragon Gate Trial.

During this period, the Central Plains underwent a dramatic upheaval, with turbulent undercurrents and surging tides.

First, the Martial Ancestor Lu Daolin born, declaring that he would challenge the future Dharma Aspect of each generation.

Then came the rumors that the Great Yan Imperial Family was secretly colluding with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons, causing an uproar throughout the court and shaking the world. Even the Gold-Wielding Guard could not find the real culprit behind it all. No one knew who was stirring things up. Those rumors grew like weeds and could not be suppressed no matter what they did.

Following that, the one from the Heavenly Demon Sect reappeared after many years, but he was elusive and no one knew where he went.

Meanwhile, top Aristocratic Clan like the Northern Plains Xie Household amassed large armies and relentlessly pursued the rumors that the royal family was allied with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons, intensifying the attacks on the court day by day.

The conflict between the Aristocratic Clan and the royal family was finally brought to the forefront under the cover of the Eternal Dragon Gate.

The only good news is that the situation in the Northern Dark Continent has finally stabilized, and the overseas forces in the Northern Sea have temporarily retreated.

Of course, considering that the conflict between the Northern Dark Continent and the royal family is irreconcilable, there is no way to expect them to help Great Yan suppress Northern Plains and become enemies with the Xie Household.

We should be thankful that they don't help the Xie Household.

In an instant, the country was in turmoil, with internal and external turmoil spreading everywhere. The once mighty Great Yan Dynasty was now riddled with cracks and teetering on the brink of collapse.

"How is the Old Wang doing?" Feng Xu put down the letter, his voice low and hoarse.

Ever since the Martial Ancestor announced his intention to test the Dharma Aspect of the world, the Old Wang began unprecedented preparations, ready to give this "ancient man" a good test.

At a time when the Great Yan was teetering on the brink of collapse and the royal family was in grave danger, this was also an act of abandoning responsibility.

The subordinate beside him shook his head and said with a wry smile, "As always, there's no response."

Feng Xu sighed. He could roughly guess what the Old Wang was thinking, and therefore he was also at a loss.

Suddenly, a Gold-Wielding Guard rushed over and whispered urgently:

Urgent report!

"Martial Ancestor Lu Daolin has defeated the Heavenly King Protector of the Incense-Smelling Cult and is currently on his way to Shaolin Temple!"

Feng Xu's heart sank.

The Heavenly King who protects the sect of Incense-Smelling Cult is ranked fifth on the Heaven Ranking, while the divine monk of Shaolin Temple is ranked fourth on the Heaven Ranking, making him a level above the former in strength.

But the real key point is that Shaolin Temple is not far from the Divine Capital.

With Kou Ziling's whereabouts unknown, will this person take a long detour to the South Sea to challenge the Supreme Sword Lord Yan Huifeng, or...?

Straight into the Divine Capital?!

Feng Xu remained silent for a long time, his gaze piercing through the deep twilight outside the window, as if he only saw four words—

Amidst the storm and turmoil.

If the Old Wang wins this battle, he might be able to give the Great Yan a second chance. But if he loses...

It's clear that the building is about to collapse.

At the same time.

The Great Yan Imperial Palace, a secluded and forbidden palace.

As dusk settled, not a single palace lantern was lit inside the hall. Only the last rays of the setting sun pierced through the carved window lattices, casting long, crisscrossing shadows on the cold, blue brick floor, creating a desolate scene of light and shadow.

On the dragon throne, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe sat alone in silence.

He had a square face, graying temples, and the handsome features of his youth were still faintly visible in his eyes, but more than that, he possessed a coldness and hardness sculpted by time and power.

It is none other than the current Emperor of the Great Yan, Emperor Tianshun.

What is Your Majesty worried about?

A clear, gentle voice slowly rose from the shadows beside the hall, neither too loud nor too soft, neither too fast nor too slow, yet it reached the ears clearly.

Emperor Tianshun did not turn around, his voice icy cold to the point of cruelty. "Kou Ziling, are you truly not afraid of death?"

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, dressed in snow-white robes, spotless and without a speck of dust. His face was not particularly striking, but he possessed an unforgettable aura, as if the center of the entire world automatically shifted to him just by his presence.

Even the emperor could not take away his charisma and elegance.

This person is none other than Kou Ziling, the elusive Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, ranked third on the Kou Ziling Heaven Ranking!

He walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, without bowing or even looking directly at the emperor on the dragon throne. He simply walked to the center of the hall, looked up at the painted dragon on the ceiling, as if admiring the rise and fall of this thousand-year-old imperial palace.

Seeing that Kou Ziling did not respond, Emperor Tianshun spoke again coldly, "Kou Ziling, do you really think that I can't kill you?"

"Why kill me?" Kou Ziling said gently, "Now the news of the royal family's collusion with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons has spread throughout the world. The aristocratic Aristocratic Clan are restless, the Gold-Wielding Guard is disloyal, the Northern Dark Continent is not obeying orders, the Anguo Ji Clan is standing by, and the other three families are also harboring ulterior motives. What does Your Majesty have left?"

Emperor Tianshun's expression remained unchanged, still cold, and his tone flat. "What exactly do you want to do?"

Kou Ziling's sleeves fluttered, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "I've heard that the position of Grand Preceptor of the Great Yan Dynasty has been vacant for a long time, and I've come here precisely to recommend myself."

Emperor Tianshun's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the Dragon Gate.

While the outside world is in turmoil, this place enjoys relative peace and tranquility.

I don't know how much time passed.

One day, two days...

Time slips away quietly like this.

On the high platform, countless geniuses were immersed in enlightenment, each with their own fortuitous opportunity and transformations.

Some people used the Stele of the Great Dao to complete the evolution of the Dao Foundation.

Someone has filled in the gaps left behind because of the haste of leaving.

Some people have taken the Stele of the Great Dao to go even further.

People opened their eyes with delight, feeling refreshed and filled with unprecedented ambition.

Originally, limited by their Dao Foundation, they would have stagnated at some point in the future. But now, their future potential has been visibly increased!

Boom--

A crimson light exploded from one side of the platform, staining half of the Void. A strong, bloody, and murderous aura swept in all directions, causing everyone around to catch their breath.

A vast, blood-red river materialized from nothingness, stretching across the heavens and earth, surging and roaring. Turbid waves churned on its surface, white bones floated and sank, and vengeful spirits wailed. The Blood River Dao's aura, extremely yin and malevolent, permeated all directions, domineering and unparalleled.

This scene caused everyone present to turn pale with shock:

"This is... Dao Path Phenomenon?"

"That's Wu Xuan from the Blood River Dao, ranked fifth on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. He can actually display Dao Path Phenomenon!"

"It must have been a crucial step taken with the help of the Stele of the Great Dao..."

Wu Xuan sat upright on the futon, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, a long river of blood rushed within them.

He finally mastered the Blood River True Scripture, and in the the Unseen, he could sense that somewhere in the Void of heaven and earth, there was a vast, surging, extremely yin and filthy Netherworld Blood Sea hidden!

Limited by the constraints of heaven and earth, it was difficult for it to descend to earth, but the immense power it contained captivated and enchanted Wu Xuan.

He sat upright, his gaze burning like a raging fire. The Blood River Dao's true scripture, which no one had mastered for hundreds of years, had finally been completed by him!

Suddenly, Wu Xuan turned his head sharply. Sensing the Dao, his gaze passed over the crowd and landed on another figure who was waking up.

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the Blood River phenomenon, Void on the other side, with the vast expanse of water shimmering and the roar of the river resounding!

A vast river plunges down from the depths of the clouds and mist, resembling the Coming Dragon River stretches eight thousand miles across the Central Plains. Rising from the misty clouds in the west and flowing into the vast sea in the east, the river surges and churns, with Sword Intent running rampant within it, each wave a Sword Qi.

In the end, the myriad rivers, instead of flowing to the sea or the earth, all rose against the current, tempered and refined layer by layer, ultimately merging into a clear, water-like, plain-colored longsword, suspended between the river and the sky.

A mighty river, a boundless expanse of boundless energy, all transformed into the sharp edge of a sword!

Lin Yueheng used the power of heaven, earth, and rivers as his Sword Intent, and finally achieved complete mastery, thus stepping into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person. Man and sword, sword and heaven and earth, were completely integrated, with no further boundaries.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, his gaze sharpened and pierced the air as he abruptly turned around, looking directly at Wu Xuan in the center of the Blood River.

Their eyes met, their killing intent clashed, and an invisible shockwave exploded outwards.

Wu Xuan grinned, his eyes burning with murderous intent, like a surging Blood River. He had a feeling that killing Lin Yueheng would allow him to advance his Blood River Dao to a new level.

His lips moved slightly, and he spoke silently, each word sharp and chilling:

In the Dragon Gate, I will surely kill you.

Lin Yueheng, however, curled his lips into a cold smile, meeting his gaze head-on.

Among martial artists in the Central Plains, many are aware of the feud between the two.

Before entering the Dragon Gate, Wu Xuan had attacked Lin Yueheng. If Lin Yueheng unleashed a brilliant sword strike in a desperate situation, he would probably have been dead long ago.

Now, having taken advantage of the Dragon Gate fortuitous opportunity to advance further, both have revealed Dao Path Phenomenon, leading to a renewed confrontation and a growing trend of antagonism in their Dao Path...

It is clear that the upcoming Dragon Gate Contest will inevitably be a fierce contest between dragons and tigers!

Just as the two strange phenomena, Blood River and Jiang Jian, confronted each other and filled the air with killing intent, another change occurred in the Void.

Two vast beams of Buddhist light slowly rose from the center of the high platform, their clear Zen-like aura washing over all directions and diluting the Blood Sha aura that filled the sky.

On the left, a Buddha, without form or face, without sorrow or joy, his entire body as clear as crystal, sits cross-legged in the Void, unattached to anything, unstained by any dust, and unbound by any dharma.

He clasped his hands together in Jiese and softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.

The Buddha raised his hand, and with a gentle touch of his fingertips, a pure white lotus quietly bloomed, its fragrance wafting gently, exuding a profound sense of Zen.

In an instant, a sense of Zen enveloped the entire platform, subtly and silently dispelling all the hostility and murderous intent in everyone's hearts, causing them to smile involuntarily, their minds clear and peaceful.

Among those present, a martial artist from the Bao Household was shocked and incredulous.

This person actually comprehended the Flower-Pinching True Intention" from the Great Strength Vajra Palm!

On the right, another Buddha appears with his own face, identical to that of the Dharma Master Miedu, a manifestation of the Dao Path of the Dharma Master Miedu from Little Thunderclap Temple.

He does not contemplate the images of Buddhas in the heavens, nor does he worship the Bodhi trees of the ten directions. He only observes his own mind and cultivates his own Buddha-path, thus fully expressing the True Intention of "Buddha's mind is my mind, and my image is Buddha's image."

Two Buddhas faced each other in the Void, one without form, the other with self; one representing Mahayana, the other Hinayana.

Someone in the room whispered, "This is a debate between Mahayana and Hinayana..."

Even the overseas martial artists all wore serious expressions.

The Buddhist School has flourished since ancient times, and there are many Buddhists even overseas. However, for countless years, no one has emerged who can manifest Dao Path Phenomenon on the path of enlightenment.

As long as these two don't die, they will at least be able to attain the Arhatship in the future!

Phew--!!!

A sharp, piercing cry, capable of splitting clouds and shattering rocks, suddenly exploded, tearing apart the Zen-like harmony and opposition between heaven and earth.

A Golden-Winged Great Peng spread its wings above everyone's heads, its wingspan obscuring the void Dao Inquiry Platform. One wing embraced the Milky Way, the other covered the vast ocean, its domineering figure looking down upon all the heavens.

The two Buddhas simultaneously raised their eyes and looked up. There seemed to be a the Unseen call in the Void, as if to guide the Great Roc back to the Buddhist land and into the Buddhist School.

With a loud snort, Peng Fei sat upright on the futon, his aura arrogant, his body motionless, his Dao heart as firm as a rock.

Its lineage was incomplete, but now, with the help of the Great Dao Stone Tablet, it has embarked on a path that belongs to it alone. Why should it need to enter the Buddhist School?

The heavens and earth seemed to reflect each other, and one after another, strange phenomena appeared in the sky—

Due north.

The Daoist Xuanfa sat cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by black water. Within this water, a phantom of a tortoise and a snake appeared, and a phantom of the Xuanwu Sovereign stood on the water, clad in black robes and holding the Demon-Sweeping Divine Sword. High Antiquity seal script flowed along the blade, engraved with the four characters "Suppress Evil and Exterminate Demons".

It was a striking formation: the Xuanwu crouching in the abyss, the Zhenwu descending upon the world!

Immediately afterwards, from the western Void, a Six-Eared Macaque with a gray-white body leaped out of the Void. Its body was agile, hidden among many strange phenomena, not showing off, but it had its own supreme Daoist charm of seeing through all laws and eavesdropping on the Dao of Heavenly Dao.

The appearance of this person caused Peng Fei, who was originally indifferent and self-possessed, to look at him with a deep gaze.

This generation even has a Six-Eared Demon!

Is it natural selection, or the continuation of bloodlines?!

The Six-Eared Macaque seemed to sense something, turned its head to look at Peng Fei, grinned, revealing its white teeth and a hint of competitive intent.

Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared all over the entire Dao Inquiry Platform!

Blood River surges, Jiang Jian hangs in the sky, two Buddhas stand side by side, a roc spreads its wings, Zhenwu, six ears peek into the Dao...

The Dao Path Phenomenon that were once unparalleled in the world are now appearing one after another in this Dragon Gate!

What shocked everyone even more was that the one who first Dao Path and shone brightly in the world was not one of the four peerless geniuses on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking that the world was familiar with.

Many martial artists who had made significant breakthroughs suddenly realized the truth.

The ones who reaped the greatest rewards and made the most significant breakthroughs this time were not them, but rather this group of strong individuals who were stuck at a bottleneck and just one step away from success!

Today, the Dragon Gate Temple has enabled these people to transcend their limitations and rise to the true top tier of their peers!

The strong will always get stronger!

In a corner of the high platform, Jin Buxi finished adjusting his Dao Foundation and opened his eyes with joy. The spiritual light in his eyes was restrained, and his aura was calm and profound.

He cultivated the legacy of the Human Emperor from Floating Hill Mountain. This time, he used the Great Dao Foundation and fill in many gaps. It is expected that he will have a smooth path to the Dharma Aspect in the future, and his gains are considerable.

Feeling relaxed, he quietly turned his head to look at Zhang Buyu, who was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, immersed in meditation.

Jin Buxi surprised. His junior brother's cultivation was still shallow and he had not yet reached the level of sorting out the Dao Path. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Great fortuitous opportunity to consolidate his foundation and broaden his horizons. In the future, he would be able to avoid countless detours in his cultivation. This was already a great fortuitous opportunity.

He then located Young Hero Guo, who remained seated, still tidying up his Dao Path.

I wonder what Young Hero Guo will gain this time...

Just as he was pondering this, everything suddenly went black.

Not only him, but everyone on the platform simultaneously went black!

It seemed as if all the light around us had been swallowed up.

Even the various strange phenomena that appeared to be confronting each other in the Void were pulled into boundless darkness at the same moment. The surroundings were deathly silent, desolate, and cold, as if they had fallen into eternal chaos.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they looked around in fear into the darkness.

Is this also Dao Path Phenomenon?!

In a daze, Jin Buxi saw the location of Young Hero Guo, where a lotus platform interwoven with black and gold slowly bloomed in the endless darkness.

The lotus petals are layered and open in a measured way, with Jin Er colors intertwined, possessing both demonic and Buddhist qualities.

The two, Jiese been secretly checking and balancing each other and silently Miedu, suddenly felt a chill and turned their heads to look at each other with unprecedented seriousness.

They sensed the existence of an "enemy of the Dao" in the the Unseen!

And at the very moment the Black Gold Lotus Platform fully bloomed.

Boom--!

Five beams of extremely brilliant light pierced through the darkness: crimson fire spread across the plains, green trees flourished, yellow earth was thick and heavy, platinum shone brightly, and black water was nourished.

The Five-Colored Divine Light rotated and rose, forming its own realm and establishing its own territory, forcefully tearing out a piece of heaven and earth in the boundless, deathly darkness.

Kong Ling sat upright in the center of the Five-Colored Divine Light, her dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes flashing like lightning, instantly locking onto Deng Canglan's location.

I never imagined that among the Human Race, besides Yu Tunzhou, there would be such a powerful individual who could combine the ways of the Heavenly Demon with the teachings of Buddha!

Behind this person, there is either a large Buddha sitting cross-legged, or a lawless demon standing!

now.

The Five-Colored Divine Light flows, encompassing the five elements and Dominion all matter. The birth and death of all things and the manifestation of all laws are all under the control of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The pupils of many Central Plains artists from prominent sects and Aristocratic Clan in the arena suddenly contracted, and their expressions became solemn and grave.

From a young age, they were well-versed in High Antiquity secret texts and historical records, and they recognized the origin of this supreme Divine Ability at a glance.

Five-Colored Divine Light!

Even in the ancient times when there were countless powerful Immortals and Gods everywhere, this was an extremely rare and supreme divine Divine Ability!

But everyone soon discovered that the darkness had not receded; instead, a piece of the world had been forcibly torn apart by the Five-Colored Divine Light, which occupied half of it.

The rest of the land remained shrouded in darkness, and deep within that darkness, a figure sat cross-legged like a Buddha, or perhaps Heavenly Demon with its eyes wide open, laughing at the world.

What Dharma Master Jiese the most was that this darkness was filled with an astonishing demonic intent, yet it was also intertwined with a rich Zen Buddhist nature that made his heart tremble!

Like a Buddha among demons, and a demon among Buddhas!

Moo--!

A deep, Savage Wilderness roar reverberated through the Void as Primordial White Bull, its body towering majestically, emerged from the darkness. Standing tall and upright, its back supporting the sky, its four hooves treading the Nine Netherworlds of the underworld, its imposing form capable of bearing down the heavens.

It tore open a Savage Wilderness world in the silence and darkness with the pure physical path.

Niu Tuntian laughed heartily, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

It finally merged its ancient bloodline with the Great Dao of Cultivation, creating its own unique Great Dao of the Physical Body.

Niu Tuntian was about to get up, stretch his body, and show off his power, but he was restrained by the invisible rules of the Dao Inquiry Platform and could not leave the futon without permission. He could only lower his head in a huff, obediently sit back down, and curiously look around, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Wow, quite a commotion! It's really lively.

It seems that several people have broken through their limitations this time by using the Stele of the Great Dao, and have reached the same level as it and Kong Ling.

Almost at the same moment, a blazing sun broke through the darkness, the Golden Crow crowing, and a scorching sun rose slowly, illuminating all directions.

Then came the second round, the third round...

Nine blazing suns hung overhead, surrounding a large, illusory sun, creating a pattern of Ten Suns Hovering in the Sky!

Ten suns hung in the sky, layer upon layer, burning the heavens and refining the earth, while endless Nine Yang True Fire poured down, scorching the darkness and purifying the silence.

This is yet another manifestation of the Dao Path!

Niu Tuntian looked around curiously, and sure enough, it was that fearless Huang Tian brat.

Huang Tian stood calmly beneath the ten suns, and the appearance of the tenth sun signified that his Nine Yang Great Dao had broken free from the constraints of his master and embarked on an unprecedented Dao Path.

At this moment, the top experts present, including Niu Tuntian and Jiese, suddenly frowned.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a slight tremor in the Void, extremely difficult to detect, yet there was a surge of Dao energy.

The tremor did not originate from any manifested Dao Path Phenomenon, but from a deeper, more hidden place.

This tremor in the Void dispelled the darkness that had enveloped the surrounding area, restoring it to its original state.

When the light of day returned and everything became clear, everyone finally saw the true source of the boundless darkness and the figure hidden behind the scenes.

"Deng--Cang--Lan!"

Someone said, enunciating each word clearly.

Even now, how could they not recognize him!

The lotus platform alone, with its interwoven Jin Er colors, is strikingly similar to his master's former glory!

Niu Tuntian's expression was solemn. The Central Plains Human Race was indeed full of talented people, but their luck was not good. Besides Yu Tunzhou, there was also such a strong person.

If he remembers correctly, there are two other people in the top four of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking!

It looked around and found that Feng Yanleng, who was highly valued by the Emperor Wa Palace, had not yet gotten up, seemingly still sorting out his own Dao Path.

Speed doesn't really mean anything; it only depends on one's understanding of the great path. Some people were just one step away from success and have now taken that step, while others have been "thinking" for a longer time.

On the high platform, all the cultivators shone brightly, Divine Ability. No one was inferior, and they stared at each other, their eyes filled with intense aggression and arrogance.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the high platform, An Ruyu, dressed in a white dress, had quietly ended her Liaowu at some unknown time.

She sat quietly on the futon, her posture elegant and graceful, without revealing any unusual signs, completely ordinary.

This left many martial artists from the Central Plains wondering why An Ruyu, who was always mysterious and profound, had not displayed any extraordinary Dao Path Phenomenon this time when he sought fortuitous opportunity.

Could it be that this person's cultivation has gone wrong?

Deng Canglan cast a deep glance at him. The Void had just reversed and the Daoist aura had vanished in an instant, which was concealed by his Dao Path. It was so subtle and undetectable that it was hidden to the extreme.

Suddenly, Deng Canglan and An Ruyu's gazes both fell on the Feng Yanleng place.

Two clear, long sounds rang out, and in the Void, a sword and a saber appeared simultaneously. They were unremarkable, unlike the extraordinary phenomena that had appeared before the other Dao Path. They stood in front of the figure in Hongyi as red as fire.

Many overseas martial artists, including Niu Tuntian, who knew the inside story, shook their heads at this moment, and their gazes toward Feng Yanleng dimmed.

They knew perfectly well what a foolish choice Feng Yanleng had made!

That is the supreme innate Root Bone that countless overseas martial artists dream of, the highest Dao Path they are born with, the Tongtian road that can be steadily ascended to the pinnacle simply by following the bloodline!

Witnessing this scene, Kong Ling sighed inwardly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Before entering the Dragon Gate, a high-ranking official in the palace once said:

"If she abandons her bloodline and chooses her own path, you shall take her place."

Now, with Feng Yanleng the sword and blade in hand, and no trace of bloodline visible, the outcome is self-evident.

Kong Ling didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel regret.

However, in the next moment, a phantom with a human head and a snake body appeared above Feng Yanleng's head and reached out to grab the sword!

This unexpected scene left the powerful figures from overseas frozen in disbelief as they stared at the spectacle.

Given that person's lineage, how could they allow other "minor paths" to coexist!

Feng Yanleng suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his clear gaze.

In the moment of enlightenment and making her choice, she was already prepared to give up everything.

But after she made her choice, the expected price did not come. Instead, the bloodline within her was further awakened, becoming all-encompassing.

The girl in Hongyi blinked. Is this what it feels like to always have an elder doting on you and protecting you?

A wisp of ethereal, invisible energy rose from her body, like smoke, mist, clouds, and rosy clouds, gently brushing across the entire Dao Inquiry Platform, causing everyone's skin to chill and their hearts to tremble.

Niu Tuntian scratched his head, his envy overflowing. He forcibly shifted his gaze to the others.

At this moment, the manifestation of the Dao Path alone has exceeded two hands in the arena, a spectacle never before seen!

As each martial artist finished their enlightenment, the third stage was drawing to a close.

Before anyone knew it, everyone's gaze gradually and unanimously focused on a certain person.

In the Central Plains, only this person remains among the top four on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Why has he failed to manifest his Dao Path so soon? Is it because his Dao Path is too difficult, or...?

Everyone shook their heads inwardly, silently swallowing the words "unworthy of the name."

The few people Yu Tunzhou knew showed no signs of worry; instead, they were filled with curiosity and anticipation. Dharma Master Jiese clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

Lin Yueheng burst into laughter.

It really is Brother Yu!

His signature commanding presence is undiminished!

As time passed, no one showed any impatience; everyone was waiting for the final moment.

Suddenly, someone looked up, their face showing surprise.

The strange phenomena that had filled the sky just moments before began to fade away one after another.

The Blood River vanished, the sword returned to its sheath, the two Buddhas Meditative Concentration, the roc folded its wings, the white ox bowed its head, the ten suns sank in the west, the Five-Colored Divine Light dissipated, and the black-gold lotus platform fell silent...

The rays of light receded like the tide.

Like water flowing into the vast ocean, like clouds drifting into distant mountains.

Everyone turned to look at the figure in the blue robe.

The latter remained seated with its eyes closed, its body completely empty, devoid of any strange phenomena or flowing light, only a profound stillness.

Yet this formless void spread outwards from him, like water overflowing a sandy shore, silently dissolving all the laws and strange phenomena that filled the sky.

All the myriad Daoist principles and laws have shed their superficiality and returned to chaos, reverting to the original, primordial, and Wuji essence.

final.

All paths converge, all phenomena return to nothingness.

Heaven and earth return to the Wuji.
