Chapter 534: Taiqing Realm, Dachi Heaven

Xuantian Daozu was fleeing through the Great Void.

From time to time, he looked back at the monster Calamity Wave behind him and breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, these calamities and monsters were all traveling along the Reincarnation Path, otherwise he would surely have been caught.

Of course, he also had experience when it came to running away.

He didn't even know how many times he had run away by now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

The Great Void was dim, and no one could stand up to resist the calamities and monsters, leaving these things to run rampant; what was to be done in the future?

At the rate these monsters and calamities were spreading, one day they would absolutely fill the entire Great Void, and at that time, there would be nowhere to hide and nowhere to avoid, leaving only the final, desperate end.

Of course, this kind of emotional outburst and lamentation lasted only for a moment.

This Xuantian Daozu quickly adjusted his mindset.

Forget it, if the Great Void is dim, then let it be dim. Anyway, he was supposed to have died in some Great Tribulation, and now that he had survived, lived for so long, and even attained the Sacred Dao, it could be considered a profit!

Now that his latest crystallization of heart and blood—the Xuantian Dajie—had been shattered, destroyed, and swallowed by calamities and monsters, this Xuantian Daozu just felt that everything was meaningless; let it be destroyed, he was tired.

He now only wanted to wander around the Great Void and find some fun.

As long as it was fun, that was enough!

And as it happened, the Present World, which shone with light and acted as a Lighthouse, was a perfect target for him to find fun. Xuantian Daozu accelerated, wanting to reach that place or World shining with light as soon as possible.

On Li Heng's side, he took out the Infinite Element again.

This Infinite Element extracted from the Black Hole Essence had not been polluted, and in theory, there should be no risk, while the Golden Source Points on his body had already reached as many as nine thousand.

He had more than enough power to open up another firmament.

In this way, his strength should be able to surge again, thereby dealing with that group of unknown things about to surge from the Reincarnation Path, defending against the enemy outside the Present World.

However, before that, he still had to deconstruct the Black Hole Essence's Infinite Element into his own; otherwise, it would ultimately be an external object, and simple devouring would only make his Dao foundation impure.

But seeing Li Heng make such a move, the expressions of Xuanyang and Youxuan could not help but become strange. They couldn't help but speak up.

"Imperial Teacher/Master, what are you doing?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Trying out a brand new path, the Infinite Dao, what's wrong? You seem very surprised and confused; could it be that there is some Taboo in this?"

The two were stunned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Imperial Teacher/Master, you don't know?"

"I naturally don't know. If you have something to say, say it; if you have a fart, let it out. Don't dawdle; this is a pure waste of time."

Li Heng said calmly; he was not following the Immortal God system, and in essence, he was not some Eternal Sacred or Infinite Sacred either; theoretically, he was still in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

How would he know the taboos of the Immortal God system?

The two were stunned again, but they quickly reacted and hurriedly spoke to answer Li Heng, no longer dwelling on why Li Heng didn't know this question, as it didn't have much meaning anyway.

"The Sacred Dao lies in being extremely refined and pure. Whether it is Eternal or Infinite, as long as one has determined their own path, it is equivalent to using this path to explain everything; it is one's foundation."

"The Eternal can explain the Infinite, and the Infinite can also explain the Eternal. But we have never seen a Sacred who cultivated the Eternal Dao yet also cultivated the Infinite. Or cultivated the Infinite yet also cultivated the Eternal."

The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Well, isn't there one now?"

Li Heng continued to say calmly.

What the two said naturally made sense.

As long as you are strong enough and your realm is high enough, you can use a pile of shit to explain everything and encompass everything; for example, Zhuangzi's 'Dao is in the shit and urine,' there is absolutely no need to practice extra things.

But even so, using the Eternal as a starting point to explain the Infinite and using the Infinite as a starting point to explain the Eternal are still different; the fundamental Dao is not the same.

On the surface, it looks the same, but fundamentally, they cannot be equated. This was also the reason why Li Heng wanted to cultivate the Infinite Dao and accommodate the Infinite Element.

"But, is this a bit meaningless?"

The two were stunned and squeezed out this sentence. They were truly confused; since one fundamental Dao could explain everything, why bother involving another fundamental Dao?

Since both can explain everything, does this have any meaning?

And isn't this a bit too cumbersome?

There is a famous saying: "Entities should not be multiplied without necessity." Since the Eternal Dao is enough to explain everything, why add an Infinite Dao into a system that is already complete?

This would only make the system more cumbersome and even lead to errors.

"I know what you mean. But this is not meaningless."

Li Heng answered calmly.

His current behavior was indeed bizarre.

It was similar to Haotian not cultivating his own Heavenly Dao, but instead running off to comprehend the Earth Path of Houtu. Although it couldn't be called putting the cart before the horse, it was a bit too distracted and lacked a sense of refinement.

And for the Sacred, this was even more so.

Xuanyang and the other had heard some rumors. Some Sacreds thought they were geniuses, cultivating both paths, with the Infinite and Eternal advancing side by side, and then... there was no then...

Either their cultivation made no progress from then on.

Or their Dao foundation became mixed, the two paths conflicted, and finally, they suddenly exploded like a balloon and disappeared completely; it was unknown whether the Sacreds who met this end were dead or alive.

"But this is what His Majesty said; it should have some truth to it, right?"

Xuanyang reminded him cautiously.

Li Heng laughed in spite of himself.

"Rest assured, I understand this principle. But perhaps you don't know that if your Majesty appeared in front of me, he would probably agree with my words."

Although he had not directly contacted that Heavenly Emperor, he had faintly sensed the flavor of two elements on the Heavenly Emperor, not just purely cultivating the Eternal Dao.

This might also be the secret to why the Heavenly Emperor was so powerful.

He had also calculated the possibility of the paths conflicting.

And then he found that the possibility was equal to zero, or rather, for him, the possibility was equal to zero. After all, he was not simply walking the Immortal God system, not to mention that he also possessed Source Power, which was enough to reconcile everything.

The two looked at each other, saying nothing more.

In reality, they had already overstepped by saying these things, actually wanting to interfere with their direct superior or their master. It was not to say they were tired of living, but it was somewhat laughable. After all, Li Heng was far more powerful than them; how could he not see this clearly?

After pacifying the two, Li Heng also thoroughly deconstructed the Infinite Element of the Black Hole Spirit; the Infinite of the Black Hole Spirit was nothing more than utilizing the singularity of its own Singularity.

Therefore, with a shift of his thoughts, a singularity belonging to Li Heng was born.

A brand-new Infinite Element appeared before Li Heng.

Afterwards, with a shift of his thoughts, Li Heng consumed one thousand Golden Source Points to open up one of the Three Pure Heavens, the Taiqing Realm Great Red Heaven!
