Chapter 108

If we fuse the Chaos Immortal Treasure, will we become puppets of the Heavenly Dao?

Regarding this matter, each side has its own reasoning.

Some believe doing so will completely trap oneself under the Heavenly Dao's control.

Yang Zu also holds this view, feeling that doing so is merely a transaction with the Heavenly Dao, and there will surely be an opportunity to transcend in the future.

But there is one indisputable fact.

As long as one fuses the Chaos Immortal Treasure, they can become the most powerful cultivator in the New World.

If one cannot stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, how can they speak of transcendence?

After the debate, no cultivator chose to withdraw from the contest; all wished to gain an opportunity in this struggle.

Under Yang Zu's leadership, you proceed along the mysterious path, drawing ever closer to the central Shikong where the Jiu Se Xingyun fuses.

"Husband, do you feel it?"

Ye Xue takes your hand; despite her temperament and cultivation, she instinctively tenses when approaching that Shikong.

"I feel it."

You are also uneasy.

The suppression from the mysterious Shikong laws leaves you unable to resist.

The Chaos Immortal Treasure is even more powerful than you imagined; merely the aura leaking from its ownerless state reaches this level.

If a cultivator were to fuse with it and then receive the Heavenly Dao's blessing, just how powerful would they become?

It would surely far surpass even the current supreme beings.

Even Yang Zu, who in your eyes has already surpassed the supreme beings of the old world, falls far short of that level!

Under Yang Zu's leadership, you press on, unknowingly becoming enveloped by the Jiu Se Xingyun and entering another Shikong.

The heavenly and earthly laws of this Shikong are completely chaotic.

This chaos is enduring, ever-changing, forcing you to constantly adapt.

Looking ahead, the scenery turns into an expanse of Chaos.

The aura of the Chaos Immortal Treasure, which was once within reach, now seems extremely distant.

Having lost the goal and lacking Guidance, the cultivators' Dao hearts fall into disorder.

"Pfft!"

A fellow cultivator spits out a mouthful of blood and collapses to his knees.

His aura grows increasingly chaotic; illusory Daos unfold beneath his feet, then gradually crumble.

When his cultivated Dao shatters, he loses his foundation, naturally resulting in death and the disappearance of his Dao.

The death of a fellow traveler makes you keenly sense the danger.

The laws here change constantly, and they accelerate as you advance; if you cannot adapt swiftly, death awaits.

Conversely, if you can quickly adapt to these laws and use them to perfect your own Dao, your progress will be very evident.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

Here you can break through to the ranks of the supreme beings more quickly.

"Stay close."

Yang Zu reminds indifferently, "Compared to the pioneers of the old era, we still have a long way to go."

If the Chaos Immortal Treasure were so easy to seize, you would not have the opportunity you have now.

The road is long and far; I will seek high and low.

Almost every time you advance a distance, a fellow traveler perishes and loses their Dao, and a tremendous pressure weighs on your shoulders.

Unbeknownst to you, most of the companions have perished and lost their Dao, leaving only a few.

On the mysterious path entwined by the Jiu Se Xingyun, you finally catch sight of the pioneers of the old era.

Among them is your ancestor, Xue Tianmo.

Seeing you, Xue Tianmo is overjoyed: "Xiao Chuan, come over, quickly to this old ancestor!"

You frown and retreat behind Yang Zu.

You do not trust your ancestor Xue Tianmo in your heart, especially after undergoing Transform to Mortal, you even feel a bit of disgust toward him.

The Blood Demon clan's gu‑like cultivation leaves no room for affection.

Seeing this, Xue Tianmo's expression changes: "Xue Mo Chuan, do not forget your origins! I am the old ancestor; you ought to obey my commands."

"Otherwise! This old ancestor will make you wish for life but unable to die!"

You can see that Xue Tianmo's state is abnormal, nearly insane; he must have been tormented too long by this place's chaotic laws.

You remain unmoved.

"Old ancestor, I will absorb you!"

Xue Tianmo flies into a rage, activates a blood‑line curse, intending to suck you into himself to aid his further transformation.

But he soon froze.

"How is that possible?!"

Xue Tianmo stares blankly at you: "All of the Blood Demon clan are my blood food; when exactly did you break free?"

You spit out two words: "Transform to Mortal."

Had it not been for Transform to Mortal, you might have already fallen victim to his treachery.

In fact, after Transform to Mortal, you had guessed that the Heavenly Demon clan pays no heed to affection; any blood‑line descendant is merely a tool for the Heavenly Demons to advance further.

Including you before Transform to Mortal, you were no exception.

If you had not undergone Transform to Mortal, and had not been accompanied all the way by Xiao Ya Huan, who held onto the last thread of your warmth in the world,

you would likely have walked the same path as Xue Tianmo.

【"Transform to Mortal?"】

【Xue Tianmo's face showed a teasing smile, "Looks like you got a good opportunity, you have escaped the ups and downs of the old era, and transformed with the New Heaven and Earth."】

【Regarding Transform to Mortal, the old era's powerhouses did not look down on it; they were mostly excited.】

【In this Shikong where the Jiu Se Xingyun merges, those who transformed with the New Heaven and Earth are obviously better able to adapt to the chaotic laws than the old era's powerhouses.】

【"In that case, your body belongs to me, the old ancestor!"】

【Xue Tianmo turned into a mass of foul blood, intending to seize your Physical Body, imprison your spirit, and borrow your rebirth via transformation.】

【"Get lost!"】

【Yang Zu, standing before you, waved her jade hand, and vast purple starlight scattered, wrapping that mass of foul blood.】

【Xue Tianmo shouted, "Little brat of the Ziwei Star Domain, this old ancestor advises you not to meddle; I, the old ancestor, am disciplining my unworthy descendants, an internal affair of the Blood Demon clan."】

【"Now he is mine!"】

【Yang Zu showed no weakness, "You disgusting old thing, get as far away as you can!"】

【Xue Tianmo coldly said, "Little brat, don't think that gaining the era's favor makes you invincible in the world; you haven't seen our methods yet."】

【Yang Zu scoffed, "Just trash eliminated by the New World; what qualifications do you have to discuss experience with me?"】

【"If you dare to move against Lin Chuan again, I will surely destroy you!"】

【As she spoke, Yang Zu commanded the laws, and the purple starlight almost obliterated half of the foul blood, already forming absolute suppression over Xue Tianmo.】

【The gap between the new era and the old era's powerhouses has now become apparent.】

【Yang Zu's move formed a deterrent against the old era's powerhouses.】

【Xue Tianmo retreated to its original position, gazing at you resentfully, daring not to act rashly again.】

【Yang Zu also did not pursue; at this point, it hasn't yet come to mutual destruction, and nobody wants to reap the benefits of others' conflict.】

【Meanwhile, as Yang Zu and Xue Tianmo clashed, the law aura on your body shifted ever more rapidly.】

【You gazed toward the end of the Nine-Colored Shikong Grand Route.】

【In the dimness, you seemed to see a person, a familiar person.】
