Does the Great Dao Really Have an End?

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

Lin Yunji waved his hand modestly.

"Your reputation has already spread to the Great Sage Realm, so there's no need for modesty."

Xuan Luo's disciples, seated among the guests, also spoke with smiles.

His name is Dan Chenzi.

He was a disciple whom Xuan Luo had taken in while he was alive. When Xuan Luo was killed by the Bai Long, he had not yet attained enlightenment.

Later, Shi Mang returned and fought a great battle with Bai Long on the Sea of Hatred, and then sealed himself in the Great Tomb for many long years.

And Dan Chenzi, during this long period of time, also attained the Dao fruit of the Supreme Primordial Unity.

Shi Mang hosted a banquet for Lin Yunji, where all sorts of spiritual fruits and immortal wines were served.

Most of these are beneficial to Sage.

However, Lin Yunji and the other Supreme beings just ate it casually.

After a round of toasts and drinks, Lin Yunji put down his cup and looked at Shi Mang.

"Fellow Daoist invited me here not merely to admire the scenery of our Ancestral Land and savor these spiritual fruits and immortal wines, could it?"

"Haha, just as you thought, fellow Daoist."

Shi Mang laughed and nodded, "I have a request to make friends with you, fellow Daoists."

"Is it about the White Dragon Battle Venerable?" Lin Yunji asked subconsciously.

This time, however, Shi Mang shook his head.

"That Bai Long killed my dear friend. I will settle this score with him sooner or later!"

Moreover, Xuan Luo died because of me; if this is a grudge, I cannot avenge him with my own hands.

If I were to use someone else's hand, even if I were to avenge my great enemy, how could I face the spirit of my dear friend?

"What I seek is something else entirely."

As he said this, Shi Mang paused slightly, picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then said...

"Actually, I originally planned to invite you after I had resolved the matter of the Bai Long."

I didn't expect you to arrive in the Great Sage Realm so quickly, fellow Daoist."

"What I seek is a matter concerning the Ancient Realm."

Shi Mang didn't keep them in suspense any longer and spoke directly.

"The matter of the Ancient Realm?" Lin Yunji raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes."

Shi Mang nodded.

"Back then, while exploring the Ancient Realm, someone encountered a forbidden zone within the Ancient Realm."

Outside this restricted area, there are various natural barriers and protective restrictions.

On his first attempt to break through, he became trapped in the Chaos maze, encountered danger, and nearly died.

The second time, someone borrowed Xuan Luo's Twelve Realms Stone Bell.

They attempted to use the power of the Twelve Realms Stone Bell to explore again, but failed once more.

"The natural defenses on the outer perimeter are nothing compared to the powerful protective array surrounding the restricted area."

"This formation is extremely powerful, ever-changing, and contains boundless murderous intent."

After several attempts, he roughly figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

This grand formation is based on the Yinyang and Yang principles of the universe!

The transformation of Yinyang, the endless cycle of life, and in this way...

To break the formation, two people will need to work together!

"Originally, I wanted Xuan Luo and I to join forces to explore again."

Unfortunately, when I returned, I learned that Xuan Luo had already died.

Shi Mang's expression was filled with regret and remorse.

"With your abilities, fellow Daoist, surely you can break the formation by force?"

Lin Yunji said this.

Shi Mang shook his head.

"This formation is truly remarkable."

As he said this, Shi Mang added another sentence,

"The mystery of this formation is no less than that of the current boundary wall of the Source Realm! However, the boundary wall of the Source Realm..."

It was simply set up by the Origin Venerable) to protect the Source Realm.

That great formation, however, was extremely dangerous, filled with deadly murderous intent.

"That's incredible?!"

Lin Yunji was also slightly startled.

He had seen the boundary wall of the Source Realm before.

The entire boundary wall of the Source Realm was laid down by the five Origin Venerable together to protect the Source Realm.

Its mysteries are boundless, enough for even Supreme skilled in array formations to comprehend for countless billions of years.

"This formation is based on the Primordial Expanse Chaos, drawing upon the Chaos Essence Qi."

Once the grand formation is activated, boundless murderous intent surges forth, bringing endless calamities, much like the cataclysmic destruction of the universe.

"Immersed in it, forget about breaking the formation by force; under all the perilous tribulations, an ordinary Supreme Primordial Unity would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye."

Even someone like me, who considers myself quite skilled, got completely disoriented after going in.

Within the grand formation, a universe of its own exists, its overwhelming power suppressing all resistance; not even half of its full strength can be used!

"The only way to break this formation is to use its two exit gates!"

Moreover, two people must work together and attack from two different entrances simultaneously to break the formation.

"Dan Chenzi's attainment of the Supreme Primordial Unity was something I didn't expect."

However, his cultivation level is still far from sufficient.

Shi Mang said this.

Lin Yunji glanced at Dan Chenzi again.

Indeed, although Dan Chenzi has already attained the Supreme Primordial Unity, he is still far inferior to them.

"I wonder what your intentions are, fellow Daoist?" Shi Mang asked Lin Yunji.

"This..."

Lin Yunji hesitated for a moment.

Lin Yunji trusted Shi Mang's character.

He observed through the Heaven-Monitoring Hall and concluded that Shi Mang was not a treacherous or cunning person.

Moreover, his treatment of his close friend was enough to earn Lin Yunji's trust.

Just from Shi Mang's account, Lin Yunji could already sense the danger of this matter.

Seeing Lin Yunji hesitate, Shi Mang hesitated for a moment, then said,

"This restricted area has mostly become its own universe."

The person who set up the formation is probably no less than five Great Origin Venerable from my Source Realm!

However, even through the great array, one could vaguely sense that the forbidden area was deathly silent; that person had most likely already passed away.

"The ruins of Origin Venerable?!"

Lin Yunji immediately understood what Shi Mang meant.

Above the Supreme, is there still a path to advance?

Many Supreme in the Source Realm would disagree with this assessment.

The Supreme is the ultimate goal of cultivation.

But is that really the case?!

After visiting the Great Cold Domain Great Cold Domain and meeting the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable within it,

A big question mark appeared in Lin Yunji's mind.

However, my own Attribute Panel also shows that it is not enabled.

What exactly is it that hasn't been opened to the public?! Is it some higher realm?

What kind of path lies beyond the path to Supreme?!

What kind of world does the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable reside in?! Lin Yunji was equally curious!

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.

This single sentence perfectly encapsulates the spiritual practitioner's thirst for knowledge of the Great Dao.

As long as I can understand the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, I will have no regrets even if I die.

Although Lin Yunji did not yet possess such a devoted spirit of seeking the Dao,

However, as a cultivator, and a great cultivator who has already cultivated to the Supreme Primordial Unity Realm,

He naturally also had an indescribable thirst for knowledge about the world beyond the end of the Great Dao, a world that reached an even higher level.

Lin Yunji silently glanced at his Attribute Panel again.

The progress bar shown above is still at 2%!

After such a long time, it still remained at 2%, without moving.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yunji finally let out a long sigh.

"Since you have invited me, how could I refuse!"

Upon receiving Lin Yunji's affirmative reply, Shi Mang immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, I knew you would agree, fellow Daoist!"
