361. Chapter 351: Discussing the Dao with the Heavenly Venerable of Morality

"This kind of power is considered not bad, and the fusion should also be quite rapid..."

At the same time, he cast a wisp of Divine Sense, or rather a clone, into both the Chang Sheng Jie and the Ascension After world.

Standing within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Zhang Xuan still possessed the power of a giant-level figure within the Immortal King realm.

Boundless power gestated from within his body, and endless divine light flickered in his eyes, allowing him to stand higher and see further.

The version of him in the Ascension After world—that is, the clone that achieved the status of Main God—had abundant Divine Sense power.

Moreover, by merging with the entire world, the world itself seemed to be assisting that supreme existence in enhancing his comprehension and abilities.

This allowed Zhang Xuan to walk further at the corresponding realm.

And the Main Gods in the Ascension After world were themselves existence akin to concepts.

They used Faith Power as a source of energy, but they were themselves the embodiment of relevant rules, a manifestation of walking a path to its limit.

This kind of concept-level existence had the same effect as the realm above the Immortal King realm that Zhang Xuan had previously thought about, and it was also very effective for Zhang Xuan's breakthrough.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan was silently thinking and calculating at this moment.

If one wants to achieve the quasi-Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor realms above the Immortal King realm, one must carve out a unique path of cultivation and walk to the limit on this path of cultivation.

In other words, Zhang Xuan could move forward, but following Huang Tiandi's path would not work.

Huang Tiandi's Five Great Secret Realms were a foundation; to truly be unique and transcend, one had to walk a different path on top of Huang Tiandi's path.

It is just like in the Zhetian Great Universe, where the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors of all generations were invincible under heaven.

But their paths were never the same; there were no two identical Great Emperors or Ancient Emperors.

Every person must walk a path that belongs uniquely to themselves.

To walk into the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, one must necessarily carve out a different path and open up a new method.

Copying others is simply not feasible; there must be a different direction.

Zhang Xuan already had the corresponding direction and concept.

His existence itself was a concept, a miracle.

"In the Ascension After world, the rules are not yet complete; relying on Faith Power to survive between heaven and earth is, after all, too fragile."

"To truly have originality and creation above the Immortal Emperor realm, one must learn from Huang Tiandi and the many figures who came after; as long as there are people in the world chanting his name, he will not truly decline, nor will he truly die."

"That is not so-called Faith Power, but a unique concept, or rather, a sense of existence."

"Death is not the end; being forgotten is!"

Zhang Xuan could not help but think of the realms that Shi Hao and others reached above the Immortal Emperor realm; whether it was Huang Tiandi, Ye Fan, or the Ruthless Great Emperor, they had all walked such a path and realm.

Afterwards, they continued to sprint on such a path, walking to higher and further distances.

As long as the living beings of the world still chanted their names and there was a general circulation of their stories, they would never truly die and would still return against the heavens.

Zhang Xuan did not know their true cultivation methods, nor did he know their inheritances, and knowing them would have no meaning or necessity, because they were the ultimate powerhouses of a path, the end of a path.

Others had no way to learn, and even if they learned, they could not produce results; an Immortal Emperor is the ultimate creator and leader of a cultivation path.

Having the current realm is enough.

Standing between heaven and earth, many insights flowed in his heart, and countless fluctuations emerged in his mind.

Even Zhang Xuan's hand involuntarily touched that Creation Jade Disc from the Shenmu World.

It contained all the rules of heaven and earth in the Shenmu World; for the Ascension After world, that was one of the ultimate goals of the world.

Both were similar; all rules aggregated to become a Main God Grid, and then someone would control it and merge with the Dao, becoming the controller of the world.

Just like the Dao Ancestor who merged with heaven and earth in the Honghuang Shijie.

Previously, Fengyun Wuji wanted to walk this path, but although the plan was good, it was exposed and targeted by others in advance.

Now it could only be left for Zhang Xuan to walk, but it was also fine; at least it was not too troublesome.

Another Dead City from a Si Wang Shi Jie was thrown into this place from the world.

The Essence between heaven and earth became increasingly dense, and all kinds of rules emerged in the world involuntarily.

And Zhang Xuan stared blankly while touching the Creation Jade Disc in his hand.

"The Main Gods in the Ascension After world are quite poor and weak in many aspects, but there are parts worth borrowing..."

Looking at this boundless and vast world, looking at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, inspiration suddenly arose in Zhang Xuan's heart.

In the current world of the Luan Gu Era, there were not even Immortal Kings, and True Immortals were extremely withered.

Therefore, if one wanted to contend head-on with the Foreign Realm in the Luan Gu Era, one must use extraordinary means.

Even if the two Immortal Kings currently lying in the ocean of Essence condensed by Zhang Xuan were resurrected, plus Tianxia Dier and Xianjin Daoren, the number of Immortal Kings in this world was still pitifully small.

Contending head-on with the Foreign Realm would still be quite lacking.

And relying on individual power to achieve an existence above the Immortal King realm and close to a quasi-Immortal Emperor was currently too difficult; Zhang Xuan only saw the direction for now, but he did not know how long it would take.

It might take hundreds of thousands of years, or it might take millions of years; he had no way to be certain.

Therefore, one of Zhang Xuan's most urgent goals was to enable the many figures present to make this world capable of contending with the other side.

"The Main God Divinity or the Creation Jade Disc can be considered a quite good method..."

Zhang Xuan had different fluctuations and expectations in his heart.

At such a moment, he had different inspiration.

Similar to the Main God Divinity in the Ascension After world, if someone merged with it, they could have Immortal King-level combat power.

Perhaps they would be a little worse than a truly perfect Immortal King in terms of contingency means and angles, but an Immortal King is an Immortal King; figures below the Immortal King realm would all be left in the dust under such attacks and realms.

Therefore, this direction and path could also be walked, and could even be walked very far and smoothly.

"However, moving the Main God Divinity directly into this world is not appropriate, not smooth; at the very least, it would suffer from 'acclimatization' issues..."

Zhang Xuan rested his chin on his hand and pondered.

He had a great deal of inspiration and creativity at the time, but as far as the present was concerned, to make them land, there were still a few small problems, and it would not land so quickly.

"Some places still need further refinement; they cannot be as special as I imagined."

"The top powerhouses in this world need to comprehend the Dao, need to move forward step by step, and need to merge with heaven and earth."

"Only Faith Power does not hold much significance for the many figures in this world, so the power driving the Main God Divinity cannot be Faith Power; the method needs to be changed..."

Zhang Xuan stood between heaven and earth, thinking silently.

Then, he immediately looked at Kunpengzi, the Heavenly Horned Ant, and the True Dragon descendant, who were still undergoing trials.

Inspiration struck his mind all at once.

"The Main God requires the same path to inherit such a Dao Fruit; one must have a thorough understanding of the rules and have traveled very far along that path."

"And in this world, there is nothing more suitable for this inheritance rule than the inheritance of the Ten Fiends..."

The Ten Fiends basically walk the same paths, and the inheritances of descendants and predecessors are continuous.

That is to say, the Dao Fruits of the Ten Fiends are basically passed down all the way; the latecomers advance further on the foundation of their predecessors, or are perhaps slightly weaker than their parents.

But as a whole, they are identical and interconnected.

"This means that in this regard, there are many processes I can manipulate."

The moment the thought fell, Zhang Xuan found the powerful Dao Fruit condensed by Kunpeng in the long river of time from the Chaotic Ancient Era, or rather, it could not be considered a powerful Dao Fruit.

It should have been the power of Kunpeng during its peak period in that past time.

After comprehending the God King of God Kings' control over the laws of time, Zhang Xuan's control over the laws of time became increasingly smooth and natural.

That past power of Kunpeng was condensed by Zhang Xuan into the present, then transformed into a formless rule, and then fell into the body of Kunpengzi, merging with the wisp of Kunpeng's Divine Sense entrusted within Kunpengzi's body.

At the appropriate time stage, the two can merge into one, capable of erupting with the peak power of the Ten Fiends.

It is also the power in a frenzied state, completely not inferior to an Immortal King.

And since the two are essentially of the same origin, when exerting such power, a portion might even strike with even more peak power under the influence of Kunpeng's parents.

"From this perspective, it is somewhat like Huang Tiandi's He Hua Qian Gu."

"When that city in Tian Yuan and Bianhuang collapsed, Huang Tiandi used the power of He Hua Qian Gu to obtain Immortal King-level power from a drop of blood between heaven and earth."

"At that time, it allowed Huang Tiandi, who had not yet reached the true peak state of the Human Dao Realm, to fight head-on against Immortal King-level giants without falling behind..."

"Now, this path of mine and the direction I am walking are actually very similar to Huang Tiandi's path; they have the same effect but are achieved by different methods..."

Zhang Xuan could not help but exclaim, feeling the specific and subtle changes within it.

This change was very peculiar and also astonishing.

"Sure enough, on the path of cultivation, sometimes one will intersect with others and walk some similar paths; there is no distinction of high or low, it is just that we are blending together on this path..."

Zhang Xuan nodded in praise, his inner insights becoming more and more numerous, and increasingly clear and distinct.

At such a moment and state, there were countless realizations and insights in Zhang Xuan's heart.

He naturally walked into the Chat Group, then took a glance, chose a world he had previously treated as taboo, and a projection descended.

In the world of Shi Jie, a segment of time intercepted belonged to the timeline of the Journey to the West World.

Above those Thirty-Three Heavens, the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, who had been silently refining pills, suddenly stopped the movements in his hands and looked at the illusory and unreal shadow appearing before him.

He smiled slightly, and Zhang Xuan, facing the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, also smiled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come again!"

"Of course, I have come!"

Zhang Xuan was very calm; his initial rise to success stemmed from hoodwinking Dugu Baitian, exchanging the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Record with the Heavenly Venerable of Morality for the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and obtaining his first pot of gold.

Afterward, he soared in the Chat Group, and with the help of the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Record, he had Qingdi provide a considerable number of cultivation methods, the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, and the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

It can be said that his initial rise was deeply connected to the Heavenly Venerable of Morality.

But Zhang Xuan had never dared to come directly to the world of Shi Jie, nor dared to have too much interaction with the Heavenly Venerable of Morality face-to-face.

An extremely ancient Existence of the Other Shore who had existed since the time of Opening Heaven and Earth.

Such a figure was too ancient and mysterious, and far more powerful than ordinary people.

In every aspect, he possessed strength and realms far exceeding ordinary people.

Zhang Xuan felt that if he chatted a little too much, he would reveal his secrets.

It was only now that he had reached the strength of an Immortal King-level giant that he dared to walk into the world of Shi Jie and chat with the Heavenly Venerable of Morality face-to-face.

Of course, Zhang Xuan still did not directly let his true body descend into this world, but used his initial projection.

"I have some doubts in my heart, so I want to discuss the Dao with you, Fellow Daoist, and examine the path forward together..."

Zhang Xuan said very calmly.

At his current realm and strength, although he was still not as good as the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, the gap was not large.

He even had a clearer contemplation of the path ahead, and walking forward, he was much clearer than the Heavenly Venerable of Morality.

Although there was a temporary distinction of high and low between the two, the problem was not too big.

The Heavenly Venerable of Morality also treated Zhang Xuan seriously.

In his initial impression, this existence was mysterious and unfathomable, with a status so high it was unimaginable.

Now sitting in Tushita Palace, the two discussed the Dao together, including discussions on the Eight-Nine Profound Art, the Tathagata Golden Body, and even discussions on reaching the Other Shore and transcending to become a Dao Fruit.

The Heavenly Venerable of Morality was greatly astonished.

He had not expected that there would be such a level of figure between heaven and earth who had achievements and attainments in this aspect, and even had very deep thoughts about the Dao Fruit, thinking more than they did, and achieving the Dao Fruit in an alternative way.

And Zhang Xuan felt that he also had deep insights from discussing the Dao with the Heavenly Venerable of Morality.

The Opening Heaven and Earth Three Brothers now, at this time and stage, already had a feeling of being a trinity.

The Dao Fruits and cultivation insights of the three of them were basically integrated, and their emotional realms were also very profound.

At such a time stage, for Zhang Xuan, discussing the Dao with them also brought very deep insights, and various doubts in his cultivation stage could be answered.

Zhang Xuan felt that his own realm had improved during this process of discussing the Dao, and it was even much more effective than his bitter cultivation for hundreds of thousands of years.

The Heavenly Venerable of Morality was, after all, a supreme existence who had been powerful from the time of Opening Heaven and Earth until now, and was a truly top-tier figure between heaven and earth.

If one truly wishes to achieve the Dao Fruit, it might require an Immortal Emperor-level figure to walk to the very end of a path; although he has not achieved the Dao Fruit now, it is because he is restricted by the heavens and earth, not because of his own personal limitations.
