Chapter 119: Comprehending the Ruthless's Dao

After running over a hundred kilometers nonstop, the big black dog panted heavily, lay on the ground with its tongue out, and only then stopped its frantic run.

Yue'er, I'm going into seclusion.

Yang Zhu looked at the Yaochi Saintess; now that he had obtained the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot, it was time to begin comprehending its supreme profundities.

Moreover, Zijin Mountain is about to open; the time for the myriad races to emerge is not far off—he must become strong, strong enough to suppress the ancient myriad races! "Good."

The Yaochi Saintess's beautiful eyes held a smile; she knew Yang Zhu's extraordinariness meant he would one day look down upon all under heaven.

Yang Zhu took off the wooden pendant from his waist and handed it to her: "This is made from Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart; it can constantly enhance cultivation, clear the mind and spirit, nourish the soul, and furthermore..."

Yang Zhu did not say the rest, because besides nourishing the soul, it could also shield against all probing—aimed at a certain surnamed Ye youngster.

After Ye Fan completed his Origin Heaven Divine Eye, even the Saintess could spy on him; taking advantage of his Origin Heaven Book not yet being perfected, Yang Zhu had to reserve a move in advance—he couldn't let that youngster get the better of him.

"Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart… is that the one from the Undying Mountain?"

The Yaochi Saintess blinked slightly, utterly incredulous.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree grows within the life-forbidden zone; even a peerless powerhouse cannot approach it, and as one of the Undying Medicines, every part of it is a treasure.

For example, the Enlightenment Tea Tree Leaves known to the world—each leaf is a supreme treasure, capable of clearing the mind and nurturing the spirit, enhancing one's perceptiveness, and a single leaf is hard to come by! As for the Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart, such a treasure requires digging up the Enlightenment Tea Tree to obtain; ask yourself, besides the ancient Great Emperor, who possesses such means?

A treasure made from Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart is unheard of, exceedingly rare worldwide, and its value can be said to be incalculable!

"Yes, you should wear it on your person from now on."

Although the Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart is precious, for Yang Zhu…

(Beginningless Great Emperor: just a matter of walking the dog, casually cutting half a tree for use.) "I'll listen to you."

The Yaochi Saintess did not delay further, lightly tapping her feet, and then placed the Enlightenment Tea Tree Heart around her waist.

Instantly, strands of pure qi flowed along her skin, seeping into her body to nourish the soul, making her feel much more refreshed.

"Xiaohei." Then Yang Zhu summoned Heihuang: "Is the yin disk I gave you last time still with you?"

He said it was naturally the silver disk engraved with the Ruthless Killing Formation; since giving it to Heihuang for contemplation, it has remained with him.

"It's here."

Heihuang nodded, extended his paw to take it out, but Yang Zhu stopped him.

"You keep this one, for when…"

"Fine, I'll definitely do my best!"

Yang Zhu whispered a few words in his ear; the big black dog instantly widened its eyes, staring as hard as a bronze bell, and though incredulous, it nodded in agreement.

"What did you say?" the unscrupulous Daoist wondered, his chubby big face immediately leaning in.

"Tch, telling you about this big matter is useless." The big black dog turned its head away, lifted its head, and remained arrogant.

"Then I'm off; you all take care."

After finishing his instructions, Yang Zhu turned; his body gradually turned illusory, and the next moment he actually vanished from the spot.

"You all be careful."

The Yaochi Saintess gave a reminder, then also left the place.

"Let's go, Daoist Priest ascertains there must be a divine treasure inside." When only Duan De and Heihuang remained, the two wore wicked grins, two fine items hooked up together—bound to let out no good fart!

They looked left and right, and soon furtively disappeared into the swamp.

Yang Zhu was about to enter seclusion; his destination had long been decided.

The Yunze Continent is not far from the Cloud Severing Mountain Range; inside lies the Ruthless Dao Field, the ideal location, and moreover it contains the Ruthless Killing Formation, which can be casually attempted for comprehension.

At night, the Cloud Severing Mountain Range is bathed in moonlight; its surface glints, and at times one can see wisps of white mist rising from within the mountain and shooting skyward.

Moonlight and stellar power slant downward, condensing into a stellar avenue that stretches to the horizon, crystal clear and more dazzling than the Milky Way.

On the stellar avenue, Yang Zhu paced forward; his black robe shimmered with patterns, chaotic qi entwined, radiating brilliant immortal light, his whole person seeming to glow, exceedingly sacred and ethereal.

"The Empress indeed has good judgment."

Yang Zhu stood in midair, like a deity, overlooking the mountain range below, then transformed into fragments of the great way and vanished from the spot.

Suddenly a figure appeared on the Five-Colored Altar; he stood upon the altar, comprehending the Dao here.

Yang Zhu took out the jar's body and lid, joining them into one; thus the Ruthless's Imperial Armament, the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot, was finally complete! Suddenly, as if it had come to life, it trembled slightly; within the pot seemed a universe of starry sky, capable of swallowing the sun and moon.

It inhaled and exhaled the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon; here the Ruthless Killing Formation resonated with it, beginning to appear one by one.

Above and below, countless Great Emperor formation patterns blanketed the sky and earth, emanating boundless imperial might, vast and mighty! Were it not for the prohibition placed here, otherwise a mere leak of qi would instantly flatten the entire Cloud Severing Mountain Range.

Yang Zhu sat on the Five-Colored Altar; the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot rose and fell before him, instantly the Great Emperor Laws flashed, each more radiant than heavenly stars, possessing supreme profundities.

These Great Emperor Laws are the Ruthless's Dao, her ultimate comprehension and understanding of the Dao! The Great Emperor formation patterns cannot be fathomed by ancient emperors, but as an Imperial Son, Yang Zhu has long been influenced and nourished by his father's Imperial Dao Laws, giving him his own understanding.

Yang Zhu is innately close to the Dao, blessed by the great way; his Dao nature far surpasses anyone's—even if an Ancient Imperial Prince came, he would still be no match.

His body emanated divine radiance, primordial Dao patterns surfaced, overflowing from within him, radiating around his body, showering myriad auspicious signs that enveloped him.

He began attempting to comprehend the Great Emperor formation patterns within the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot, as well as the Ruthless Killing Formation here; his mind gradually became tranquil and ethereal.

"Is this the Ruthless's Dao…"

Two days later, Yang Zhu gained considerable insight; he produced the Hun Dun Chi, imprinting the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot's laws into it, continually refining.

Above the Five-Colored Altar, chaotic qi surged; the Great Emperor formation patterns and Great Emperor Laws were fully displayed, entwining the space around Yang Zhu.

Without the prohibition below, this place could not withstand the Great Emperor's pressure; the void would at any moment collapse, forming terrifying black holes.

Yang Zhu, like a banished immortal, sat at the center, silently comprehending, becoming ever more sacred and ethereal.

Time flowed like sand through fingers, fleeting in an instant; Yang Zhu's this contemplation lasted half a month, benefiting him greatly, his comprehension profound, his realm breaking through to the Third Layer of the Four Poles!

During this time, he continually contemplated the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot, barely grasping a thread of the Empress's Dao.

That is a path that moves forward unyieldingly, relying neither on talent nor divine body nor resources; the only thing possessed is an unshakeable conviction.

That is a kind of Dao heart, moreover a kind of longing; she stepped step by step to the peak, not to be invincible in the world, but to await the return of one person.

The Ruthless's life was stunning, yet also carried a sorrow.

Who would have thought that the Empress, foremost in talent, began as merely a little girl who wanted to stay by her brother's side, but things turned out otherwise, and in the end she could not fulfill her wish.
