Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Yuan Shi Heavenly Book"

Grade: Supreme

Yuan is the inside of the Dao.

Shi is the outside of the Dao.

One Yuan returns to the beginning, all phenomena renew.

Compared to the Yuan Dao Heavenly Book's nine hundred and eighty-five characters, the Yuan Shi Heavenly Book has only eighteen characters.

Don't look at the fewer characters, but the effect not only did not weaken, it became even more ultimate.

After reading the contents of the Yuan Shi Heavenly Book, Xu Zhangqing immediately understood.

The reason he was not erased by the Great Dao Venerate from the River of Time was not luck, but that his own timeline had already jumped out of the category of the "Dao".

In this way, it was equivalent to being unable to be locked onto from the time aspect.

Obviously, the Great Dao Venerate also discovered this.

His originally tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open at this moment.

However, there was nothing else in these eyes, only indifference.

Indifference to the extreme.

Cold to the point that all things in the world were not put in his eyes.

Looking at these eyes, Xu Zhangqing was startled.

The Zhang Daoxuan of the past, his gaze was not like this.

At least there was still a trace of humanity!

At this time, the Great Dao Venerate shouted in a fierce voice: "Jiang Yuan, when the Origin Dao Ancestor dispersed the San Dao Jie Fa, what exactly did he give you!"

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Nothing, the Ancestor gave me nothing.

This Yuan Shi Foundation, I comprehended it myself."

"Impossible."

The Great Dao Venerate denied it without even thinking, he pressed forward a step, and the River of Time surged along with it: "Your past was merely a Shen Nong.

Your present is also merely a Spirit Farmer.

With such a low starting point, what qualification do you have to comprehend a foundation that jumps outside of time?"

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing did not refute, did not explain.

He just looked at the Great Dao Venerate, looked at this fellow who once listened to the Dao with him under the Wan Dao Tree, fished people out of the flood together, and spoke under the moonlight about letting mortals stand up, a look of pity slowly emerging in the depths of his eyes.

"Daoxuan."

"These years, what have you experienced?"

"Between us, is there some misunderstanding?"

As for subsequent matters, Xu Zhangqing indeed did not know.

After the Origin Dao Ancestor dispersed the San Dao Jie Fa, because he saw Second Senior Sister Luo Qinghan again, his whole person was once again swept into the chaotic currents of time.

Everything in the Wai Jie could only be watched, not touched, not interfered with.

When he opened his eyes again, the era had changed, and he had already returned to the "present".

What exactly happened in that blank period in the middle, he really wasn't clear.

Even the fact that he was "Shen Nong" was heard from the other party's mouth.

Listening to the person before him speak, looking at the person before him's expression, the Great Dao Venerate's mouth corner slowly hooked up, revealing a trace of a smile.

However, this smile made Xu Zhangqing's hair stand on end and bones turn cold.

He only felt a wave of malicious chill assault him, cold into the depths of his soul.

"I admit, your Yuan Shi Foundation is indeed extraordinary."

"But in the end, a flaw was revealed."

"What flaw?"

"Your Shi, though outside the Dao."

"But your Yuan, is still inside the Dao."

Xu Zhangqing was startled, thinking secretly: "Worthy of a top figure who has survived since the Primordial Period, even this was seen through by him!"

Although Yuan and Shi are united, the "Yuan"'s base was born inside the Dao.

The Heavenly Dao fears fullness, the Human Dao fears perfection.

This is not some kind of defect, but an inevitably existing "weakness".

Seeing him not speak, the Great Dao Venerate suddenly waved a hand, and the River of Time spanning the night sky dispersed.

The pressure all around suddenly loosened, but Xu Zhangqing not only did not feel relaxed, he felt even colder.

"Be it Jiang Yuan, or Xu Zhangqing."

The Great Dao Venerate slowly put his hands behind his back, his voice becoming light and distant, as if drifting from another time: "You've always wanted to know, where did those Immortals go, haven't you?"

Xu Zhangqing's face changed, suddenly having a bad premonition: "What do you want to do?"

The Great Dao Venerate seemed to smile yet not smile: "Since I can't erase you, I'll change the method.

I'll send you into the Great Dao Cage, to reunite with them!"

"Great Dao Cage?"

Xu Zhangqing had never heard of it, his expression blank.

The next moment, without the Great Dao Venerable making any move, this Fang Tian Di suddenly trembled.

Endless Hongmeng Purple Qi began to gather from all directions, finally transforming into a purple Vertical Pupil spanning across the Zhutian Wan Jie.

Its gaze was exactly the same as the Great Dao Venerable's, indifferent to the extreme.

With just a glance, Xu Zhangqing felt his Foundation change.

The Yuan part was Frozen.

Only the Shi part still retained Vitality.

"From the Primordial Period until now, I have experienced much!"

"To master the source of time, I forgot emotion, renounced desire, cut down all Distracting Thoughts, and erased all Weaknesses!"

"Doing this was to carry out the Heavenly Dao Will, execute the Great Dao Regular, and keep the Void and Jie Wai Shoes Chong all Outside!"

"Then what about me?"

"You?"

"Yes, me!"

"I originally wanted to use you, thus mastering the source of creation, but still Failed; now it is destined, the future cannot Change!"

"I see!"

"Jiang... Changqing, since you cannot be erased from the River of Time, then grow old and die alive in the Great Dao Cage!"

Having said all there was to say, the Great Dao Venerable said no more.

Xu Zhangqing wanted to question, wanted to Refute, wanted to struggle.

But after being gazed upon by that purple Vertical Pupil, he discovered he could do nothing.

Consciousness remained, thought remained.

But action, reaction, and so on were lost one after another.

When time was Frozen, at least the body was still one's own.

Now even the thought of "wanting to move" was stripped away.

In the depths of the purple Vertical Pupil, a point of purple light grew from small to large, like a hollow whose bottom could not be seen at a glance.

The next moment, purple light shot down, covering Xu Zhangqing's whole person.

The moment the light fell, everything began to spin.

Gaze flickered.

Underfoot went empty.

When Xu Zhangqing saw again, before his eyes was only a boundless purple space.

No sky.

No Earth.

No sun, moon, or Xingchen.

Purple Mist hung down from all directions, like twilight that would never disperse.

Then, he saw people.

No, precisely speaking, Immortals.

They were in the mist, each maintaining some posture.

Or sitting cross-legged!

Or standing with hands behind their backs!

Or howling at the sky!

Or looking down and shedding tears!

Everyone from head to toe, from Skin to bone, had been Glazed.

And without exception, all closed their eyes, as if fallen into Dormant sleep.

"Senior Brother Li?"

Xu Zhangqing saw an acquaintance.

The other stood not far away, lips half-open, as if wanting to say something.

Not only that, he discovered Senior Brother Li had "several" Senior Brother Lis standing beside him.

No, more accurately, they were parts stripped out from Senior Brother Li.

Like an emotion, representing a layer of "self."

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness.

Hatred.

Fear.

Numbness.

Everything was stripped out, leaving only the "flawless true self."

And not only Senior Brother Li, all Immortals trapped Inside were the same.

One "self" was stripped out ten-odd layers, even dozens of layers.

Xu Zhangqing wanted to shout.

The next moment, he himself Solidified.

But this situation existed only for an Instant; thought, Consciousness, Gaze recovered again.

But after recovering for an Instant, everything Solidified again, and Deeper.

The power of the Origin could let him Instant Recovery, but it was only an Instant!
