331. Chapter 321: The Profound Mystery of the Other Shore, One Proof Eternal Proof

"Is there anyone who can have a cultivation speed like yours?"

"Temporarily leading?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Xuan thought of Meng Qi, who was improving at a rapid pace, and Fengyun Wuji, who was also improving as if riding a rocket; the pressure in his heart was indeed soaring.

Both of them were monster-like existences; one was suspected to be a supreme figure created by the Balance Law specifically to check and balance the Light and Dark Thirteen Main Gods.

The other was a product of the "subtraction to emptiness" path chosen by the Moral Heavenly Venerable, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, and Yuanshi.

The improvement of both was completely abnormal; as long as there was a direction, as long as there was a possibility, they could successfully step across it, absolutely without any omissions or problems.

But the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors present could not understand this at all and could only be deeply shocked.

A peerless figure who had achieved the status of Great Emperor, or even Heavenly Emperor, in just two or three years, was saying there were peers of equal talent, and it even made him feel pressure.

He had currently reached the ceiling, while his friend in the Foreign Realm had not, and was still improving rapidly; listen, does this sound like human talk?

No matter how you listen to it, it doesn't sound like human talk.

But Zhang Xuan did not dwell too much on this topic; instead, he looked at the many figures and smiled.

"I have already blazed a path for many of you. Throughout the ages, the direction and process of those peerless figures who lived out a second life by their own power, I have all left behind."

"You can contemplate them yourselves. If you have profound insights and realizations, you can discuss the Dao with me in my presence, and I will explain them to you, striving to let you also embark on the path of immortality and become a generation of True Immortals."

"We have this ability?"

It was not just the figures in the Forbidden Zone who were a little unconfident; even the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou were a little unconfident at this moment.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan just smiled slightly and nodded earnestly: "Even in the Immortal Valley era, you could be considered the most top-tier geniuses and talents between heaven and earth, each possessing the talent and aptitude of a True Immortal or even a Quasi-Immortal King."

"I dare not speak of the path of an Immortal King; after all, that requires truly walking out a path far enough, and I have not yet sorted it out myself, so I dare not say I can bring you all to that level. But basically, reaching the level of a Quasi-Immortal King, you all have no major problems."

"You must have confidence in yourselves. After all, the technique you practice is the path created by the only person who broke the entire era, the most formidable and invincible figure after the Emperor Fall Era..."

"Even in the Emperor Fall Era, that supreme powerhouse was not weak; he was stronger than the strongest in the Emperor Fall Era..."

The many figures could not understand what Zhang Xuan was saying, but they could feel Zhang Xuan's intensely strong self-confidence—a kind of self-confidence that was even fuller and more abundant than their own.

Therefore, they all had confidence in their hearts and could not help but quiet down, sitting there silently.

But the many figures were not in a hurry to immediately contemplate that supreme method for becoming an Immortal.

Instead, they watched Zhang Xuan quietly. Even though Zhang Xuan had just shocked them not long ago, they could feel the aura on Zhang Xuan's body constantly strengthening and climbing toward a deeper realm.

When he was sweeping through the five great Forbidden Zones just now, they could still see through him, but now his whole body was covered in endless mist, making them completely unable to understand.

"Didn't you say you had already reached the ceiling of this world and could advance no further? Why do we feel that the strength and realm on your body are still improving, making one unable to see through you?"

Some figures were whispering, carrying confusion and doubt.

Zhang Xuan just smiled faintly.

"It is for many reasons."

"On one hand, I am indeed close to the ceiling, but I have not truly reached the top. The Great Emperor realm is not the limit; one can achieve the Red Dust Immortal."

"That is, time and years can hardly be imposed upon one; one can exist between heaven and earth for eternity and will not be destroyed because of the destruction of the Universe."

"I just achieved the Dao as a Great Emperor, but it is different from a Great Emperor; it can be considered a different kind of Other Shore traveler."

"After all, my accumulation is too strong; once I achieved the Great Emperor status, I already reached the level of a Heavenly Emperor, or even higher."

"I am even more formidable than an average Great Emperor who lived out a second life by their own power."

"If it were a normal figure, wanting to enter a great plain area in this period, many figures would have to be stuck here for many years, then polish themselves bit by bit to move toward a higher realm."

"But I had a plan long ago and positioned myself very well. I built the main Bone as the framework, using the Dao Fruit of the Emperor, Wushi Dadi, Ruthless Great Emperor, Undying Emperor, and even a peerless figure who will achieve the Dao in the future."

"Taking this as the core, I construct the elements to mend the sky, strengthening the many rules of this world to make heaven and earth more solid, and also allowing me to achieve the Other Shore and traverse time."

"After the Bone was built, I could observe the entire long river of time, from the Mythological Era up to the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, and even the future section beyond that."

"In this process, I can see all the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors, from their weakest periods, walking step by step toward their peak."

"Their Dao Fruits will become my flesh and blood, become my hair, become my skin, making me stronger."

"If one says that an average Great Emperor reaches the ceiling after achieving the Great Emperor status, I have reached a spurt period of strength and realm..."

When Zhang Xuan spoke, it was as if laws were moving and flickering within his body.

His physical body was further strengthening, flowing with an undying golden radiance.

That was the profound and mysterious part of the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Tathagata Golden Body, while simultaneously combining the methods of physical strength inherent to the Zhetian Great Universe.

His strength and realm were constantly climbing, reaching an unimaginable level.

Even after reaching such a level, Zhang Xuan himself did not need to hide too much.

He became the first person in this matter to eat the crab, achieving the Dao Other Shore.

Moreover, he extended his own brand to the end of the Luan Gu Era; for the time being, he had no way to cross over Huang Tiandi, who had already become a Quasi-Immortal King at that time, and could not let his own strength and realm continue to move forward and cover the entire Luan Gu.

But just at this current realm and stage, it allowed him to clearly see how the Emperor walked the path to the Red Dust Immortal, and see how the Undying Emperor underwent Nirvana time and time again.

And he could also see Wushi Dadi use his supreme combat power to forcefully break through a passage, strike directly into the Strange World, obtain enough lifespan, and then undergo transformation within the Strange World.

Many top-tier divine techniques and wonderful methods unfolded before Zhang Xuan, giving rise to countless insights in his heart.

And when these insights were generated, Zhang Xuan could again ground himself in the present and look toward more and further futures.

One future path after another emerged before him; among them, in some future paths, Zhang Xuan failed on the path of the Red Dust Immortal and ushered in extinction.

There were also paths where Zhang Xuan walked on the correct path and then continued to move forward, step by step achieving the Red Dust Immortal.

And when the future Zhang Xuan verified the feasibility of this path, the timeline would converge.

That future Dao Fruit would fall upon the current Zhang Xuan, letting Zhang Xuan continue to step forward, One Proof Eternal Proof.

The Other Shore of achieving the Dao in the Zhetian Great Universe was not as profound and mysterious as the Other Shore in the World of the First.

After all, the ceiling of the entire world today was not high enough; it could only reach the realm of the Red Dust Immortal.

Moreover, many mysteries had not been completely revealed, but the mastery of time, of the timeline, and of the Great Dao of heaven and earth had already been revealed on Zhang Xuan.

Now that he has achieved such accomplishments, as long as he has achievements in the past or future, he will experience simultaneous improvement in the present, the past, and the future.

Other figures who wish to borrow power from the past and future must rely on the power of the "Past Self," "Dao Self," and "Original Self."

Zhang Xuan, however, can communicate directly with the past and future; as long as he succeeds in the future, he succeeds immediately in the present.

Moreover, the future that Zhang Xuan can observe is not one, but countless; he can see the most favorable one for himself from infinite timelines and then make that line reality—this is the Other Shore.

It is suspected to be the Other Shore within the Supreme world; because there are many, they must still consider others when wanting to change the past or future, and fellow practitioners must reach a strategic balance and agree with one another for that future to occur, but Zhang Xuan does not need to.

He stands between heaven and earth, and can make heaven and earth move entirely according to his thoughts and his will.

A normal Great Emperor achieving Red Dust Immortal requires tempering between heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Yet Zhang Xuan stands within that most powerful palace structure.

At this moment, he suddenly chuckles; above Earth, within Kunlun, the head of that God King of God Kings vibrates slightly, emitting a terrifying beam of energy.

That is the purest Origin and Life Essence, which crosses the endless distance and merges into Zhang Xuan's body.

Then, in the shocked gazes of many figures, Zhang Xuan's originally incredibly distinct Chaos Origin disappears at this moment; all the Origin is scrubbed clean, revealing his purest mortal Origin.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan has become a mortal body, yet both Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body reveal expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

They had just viewed the many methods of becoming an Immortal within the palace structure, regarding the most important nine transformations.

To become an Immortal, one must necessarily achieve corresponding accomplishments upon these nine steps.

And just now, Zhang Xuan completed one transformation right before their eyes.

He cut away all his aged Origin, then gave birth to a pure, new Origin, living out his second life.

This is a matter that simply shakes the heavens and the earth; throughout history, any person, including Di Zun, Wushi Dadi, and Ruthless Great Emperor, would find completing this round of transformation extremely perilous.

Yet Zhang Xuan, just like that before them, shortly after becoming a Great Emperor, completed this step with ease.

Even after Zhang Xuan swallowed that vigorous Life Essence, a large portion of the energy he refined returned to heaven and earth, making heaven and earth even more robust.

The two Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors who have merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint are both present, but both feel relaxed, no longer having that sense of oppression as before.

Their original situation was like stuffing an elephant into a room where ordinary people live.

And they had stuffed two in.

The room was filled to the brim, as if it were about to burst at any moment.

And at the same time, it gave people a very terrifying feeling.

Heaven and earth seemed unable to bear this pressure, but now it is as if the elephants are walking toward the wilderness; although they are only on the street and have not yet entered the true nature, the mountains, fields, and forests, that sense of relief is there.

But it is already much better than in the past.

This feeling is very profound, but the two also have a very clear realization: heaven and earth have been further strengthened.

Zhang Xuan seems to sense their confusion and responds with a smile: "I am helping this piece of heaven and earth digest the head of that God King of God Kings more quickly."

"And by me digesting this energy, it is equivalent to this piece of heaven and earth digesting a large portion of energy that returns to heaven and earth, allowing the ceiling of heaven and earth to also be slightly raised."

Speaking to this point, Zhang Xuan sighs slightly.

"This head of the God King of God Kings alone is enough to raise this world to a level even more vast and filled with Immortal Substance than the Strange World."

"That battle in the Luan Gu Era was truly too tragic and too terrifying, causing this piece of heaven and earth to suffer too many wounds; for me to let it grow back, I still need to expend great energy and cost."

Although he is sighing, Zhang Xuan's movements are not slow, nor is there much sense of tension.

In the midst of chatting, he looks at the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou, his expression suddenly becoming a bit more serious.

"Watch closely, I am going to undergo the third life transformation!"

Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body tremble all over, and even the other figures rush over, watching this scene that shakes the heavens and the earth.

They watch as Zhang Xuan rapidly ages before them; his originally peak lifespan rapidly disappears, and Life Essence and Immortal Substance, more vigorous than an Undying Divine Medicine, flow out from Zhang Xuan's body, returning to this piece of heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan enters the final years of his life, even his hair turning gray, but this state only lasts for a very short time.

They watch as changes occur within Zhang Xuan's body; the purest and most special Divine Substance gestates within him, then forms a Divine Fetus; when his blood and Qi fall to the lowest point, a new vine grows from the withered vine.

It is as if an old tree has withered, and then a new sprout grows upon the original roots; in the blink of an eye, the sprout has grown into a towering tree, its boiling blood and Qi suppressing the entire Universe.

The heavens and the earth are shaking.

A group of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors watch such a scene, stunned and unable to speak.

By this time, they are convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

The figure before them is a God-like existence, even more profound and miraculous than any figure in all of history.

Unrivaled; no one can compare to him.

Zhang Xuan remains calm and composed, chuckling as he says: "I took a shortcut, learning a portion of the techniques of my friends from the Foreign Realm, which allows my future success to land upon the present; if you were to undergo transformation, you would not be as fast as me."

A group of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors stand there quietly, having nothing to say.
