Chapter 640: The Path of the Great Dao

Li Heng looked at this structural diagram and used it as a springboard to seek Causality, looking once again into the interior of Wujian Prison. Sure enough, in a remote corner, he discovered the Strange that Wujian had pointed out.

This Strange was lucky enough to have escaped the slaughter just now.

Or rather, even his Venerable-level avatar had not realized that a Strange was hiding in this corner; its aura was incredibly concealed, just like Wujian had been a moment ago.

The Strange was pitch-black all over, like a writhing pool of ink, staying quietly in this place without radiating any aura outward. If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would not even have realized its existence.

However, this Strange looked just as Wujian had described, in the midst of transforming, sublimating, and breaking through. But Li Heng could perceive that the reason this Strange did not reveal any aura was because it had internalized its aura within its own body, intending to exhaust everything to gestate something.

It was so profound that even he found it difficult to see clearly!

This is interesting, Li Heng mused for a moment.

The strength of this Strange was neither strong nor weak, infinitely approaching Venerable-level strength. If he were to harvest it now, he would likely gain tens of thousands of Golden Source Points.

But the thing gestating within this Strange gave him other ideas.

The thing gestating inside was something even he could not see clearly or describe with Reason; he could not glimpse its future, which showed just how terrifying the thing inside was and how high its value must be. If he let this Strange successfully gestate and allowed the thing inside to be born, he could obtain even more.

Naturally, Li Heng knew he was being a bit greedy.

But he was now at the Great Venerable level and could fully bear the risks involved. He had just killed a Great Venerable-level True Reality God; could this gestating thing really be more than a True Reality God?

If it really could compare, he might even be happy.

It was nothing more than pursuing the maximization of benefits.

Moreover, he was also very curious about what exactly was gestating here.

After thinking it over.

His true self took action personally, placing a Great Venerable-level protection around this Strange, allowing it to gestate the thing inside with peace of mind, preventing his avatar's harvesting from affecting this Strange.

A Venerable-level avatar entering Wujian Prison was nothing but a slaughter.

Just now, it had already instantly killed eighty percent of the Disasters and Stranges within Wujian Prison. The remaining twenty percent, while powerful, could not hold out for long. One could even say that the only reason they had lasted until now was that their turn had not yet come.

The Great Serpent that connected the origin and end of time was cut in half at the waist, and the Disasters that permeated infinite space-time, spreading panic and the Unknown, also dissipated under Li Heng's gaze.

Boom!

The Turtle Tower, which constructed countless upward worldviews and infinite ascensions, collapsed with a crash. This Strange, which symbolized the poison of evolution, fell instantly under the hands of Li Heng's avatar.

At this moment, Li Heng was the supreme savior, sweeping away everything in the prison, wanting to return all of this to the light.

One must know that even a prison is a place where worlds, space-time, and civilizations exist; after all, a prison is everything, and the principle of Wujian is to rely on "everything" to imprison Disasters and Stranges.

It is just that although these Disasters and Stranges were trapped within Wujian Prison, unable to find release, in a sense, these Disasters and Stranges could also be considered the strongest beings in Wujian Prison, the terrifying existences that held sway over everything within Wujian Prison.

This meant that all space-time, all worlds, and all living beings within Wujian Prison would be influenced, or even dominated, by these Disasters and Stranges.

It could be said that these Disasters and Stranges were the absolute True Reality within the prison, the origin of the worldview. Under this influence, everything in the prison became incredibly Strange. For example, sanity was false, madness was the True Eternal, and no one could escape this law.

In the prison, no matter what the worldview or cultivation system—be it immortal cultivation, magic, divine paths, or Martial Dao—everything would lead to madness.

After all, with no one interfering in the prison, these Disasters and Stranges were the origin of all worldviews, equivalent to the Dao within the prison. Anyone who cultivated the Dao or perceived truth was actually cultivating these Disasters and Stranges, perceiving these indescribable things.

The stronger you were, the closer you got to True Reality, the more you leaned toward these Disasters and Stranges, eventually becoming mad, chaotic, and indescribable. For a normal person, this was incredibly despairing!

Even for a madman, it was a bit despairing. Even though a madman would believe that madness was the True Reality and sanity was merely a delusion, advocating for a return to the Disasters and Stranges themselves and embracing the indescribable.

Because the madness, chaos, and indescribable nature in their eyes were actually just appearances; they were merely a type of thing they perceived, not the true True Reality of these Disasters and Stranges.

Simply put, the indescribable also has levels.

Madmen might seem to like embracing the indescribable, but once they witnessed the True Reality of the Disasters and Stranges, they would likewise show despair, fearing them just like normal people.

What you think is not what you think. You like dragons, but once a dragon arrives, you faint immediately, filled with extreme fear. In the end, it is nothing more than Lord Ye's love of dragons.

But now, everything is different.

Under Li Heng's cleansing and harvesting, everything in the prison returned to normal and back to the light. He, instead, became the origin of everything in the prison, the Dao of everything in the prison.

Under such circumstances, madness retreated, sanity returned, chaos faded, and order was recast. It was equivalent to changing even the art style and the fundamental settings of the worldview.

Originally, becoming an immortal meant going straight mad or becoming food for some indescribable Strange or Disaster. But now, becoming an immortal is truly becoming an immortal, standing above the Nine Heavens, living forever, and being Carefree for eternity.

Originally, merging with the Dao meant becoming one with the Disasters and Stranges, becoming indescribable, and turning chaotic—it would not be an exaggeration to call them an indescribable Dao Ancestor. But now, merging with the Dao is a normal merging with the Dao, merging one's body with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, wielding the authority of Heaven and Earth, and managing everything in Heaven and Earth.

"You all must not cultivate me; I am not the Dao."

Li Heng saw that all living beings in the prison took him as the Dao, even giving him a true name, Heng, and compiling some Dao Scriptures—things like "Heng that can be Heng is not the eternal Heng... the strong are named Heng..." and so on.

He spoke directly, the sound of the Great Dao echoing in the hearts of all living beings, causing them to have an Enlightenment in their hearts. Naturally, they deviated from Li Heng's direction and turned to change their cultivation direction; in this way, Li Heng could be considered to have left the position of the Dao.

The word "Dao" carries great Causality, and besides, watching all the living beings in the prison cultivate in his direction always felt a bit strange.

After thinking about it, he directly conjured a ball of light. He let this ball of light replace him as the Dao within the prison, just to give them a concrete reference for cultivation; as for whether this Dao was true or false, it did not matter.

After all, if one follows the definition of the Great Dao having no end, cultivation is a process of constantly Seeking Dao, Obtaining Dao, denying the Dao, and then continuing to seek the Dao, repeating this infinitely, constantly seeing new scenery.

Where would there be any true or false Dao?

After almost clearing out all the Stranges and Disasters in the prison, the avatar returned to Li Heng's true self. The Source Power and Golden Source Points were credited, directly causing his Golden Source Points to skyrocket by another 500,000.

His current Golden Source Points had reached as many as 4.5 million!

Three million to be used to develop the Three Pure Heavens and improve his own strength, with the remaining 1.5 million kept for future use. Hmm, that is enough.

Li Heng nodded, intending to improve the Three Pure Heavens once again.

Just now, he had set a greedy flag, allowing that Strange to gestate an unknown thing; if things went wrong, he might actually flip over. Since that was the case, he would violently break this flag!

He was now very curious about the scenery above the Great Venerable level.
