Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Looking at the empty Great Dao Cage, Xu Zhangqing fell silent for a long time.
The Immortals were collectively slain, their flesh bodies, divine souls, foundations, Dao rhymes, laws, and immortal power were all taken away.
Now in this cage, he was the only living thing left.
After much thought, Xu Zhangqing closed his eyes and chose to enter the dream.
Li Er, the incarnation of the Lord of West Wing, still stood by the edge of the pond.
Xu Zhangqing hurried forward: "Dream Lord!"
The Lord of West Wing turned and glanced at him: "What is it?"
Xu Zhangqing said excitedly: "Something happened outside! The Immortals in the Great Dao Cage were all sent to the Beheading Immortal Platform and collectively sacrificed to the Heavenly Dao."
"Oh?"
The Lord of West Wing said thoughtfully: "Generally speaking, the Great Dao Cage sacrifices one Immortal every ten thousand years, thereby providing nourishment for the Heavenly Dao."
"Now a collective sacrifice..."
Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "You cannot perceive the situation outside?"
The Lord of West Wing shook his head: "While I evolved Dream Xuan Du, I was actually trapped here, and can no longer perceive the outside world."
Put plainly, a dream is also a prison!
Xu Zhangqing described what had just happened.
After listening, the Lord of West Wing said in a low voice: "It seems something happened to the Heavenly Dao!"
Xu Zhangqing asked in confusion: "Can the Heavenly Dao also have something happen to it?"
The Lord of West Wing said with a serious expression: "The Heavenly Dao is also a Dao, and moreover is the source that maintains the operation of the Zhutian Wan Jie."
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has killed all the Immortals, that only indicates one thing."
Xu Zhangqing was very curious: "What?"
The Lord of West Wing replied: "The Heavenly Dao needs more nourishment, and it is very urgent!"
Hearing these words, Xu Zhangqing frowned.
Since the Heavenly Dao concerns the operation of the Zhutian Wan Jie, if something happened to the Heavenly Dao, doesn't that mean something happened to all the Zhutian Wan Jie?
But what exactly is the major event?
That could make the Heavenly Dao slay all Immortals?
From this day on, no one else appeared in the dream.
On the chessboard, ash fell everywhere.
The fragrance of the flowers in the garden faded.
The former Immortals and songs all disappeared.
Most of the time, Xu Zhangqing was alone in a daze.
Occasionally sitting opposite the Lord of West Wing for a while, the two remained silent facing each other.
No matter how serious the situation outside was, they neither knew nor could perceive it.
Time passed bit by bit.
One hundred years here was nothing.
One thousand years was just a daze.
Until ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, did they have a feeling that time had passed.
The purple mist in the cage began to wither, its quantity reduced by more than half compared to before.
Until one day, a "Boom—" thunderclap suddenly resounded in the Great Dao Cage.
"Thunder?"
Xu Zhangqing took advantage of an instant to look up at the sky.
At first, he could only hear muffled thunder ringing one after another.
After a while, layers of twisted light began to appear above the Nine Heavens.
Later, the remaining Hongmeng Purple Qi began to entangle with these twisted lights, struggling against each other.
However, the Hongmeng Purple Qi not only failed to suppress them, but was the first to be unable to endure.
With a "Click!" crisp sound, the sky originally filled with purple qi suddenly tore open a shocking spatial rift.
Immediately after, ten lights of different colors madly rushed in from the rift.
They were like ten hungry poisonous snakes, viciously staring at Xu Zhangqing.
"This is... the Tenfold Great Calamity?!"
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing was speechless.
He suddenly remembered the words Kong Fang left before his death.
"Whoever kills me will surely be targeted by the Tenfold Great Calamity."
"The Ten Calamities cover the Heaven Calamity, Earth Calamity, Human Calamity, Law Calamity, Life Calamity, Longevity Calamity, Heart Calamity, Demon Calamity, Karma Calamity, and Extinction Calamity."
"The first three calamities destroy the flesh body, the middle three destroy the cultivation, the last three destroy the divine soul."
"The final calamity will even erase the killer from all timelines, all karma lines, and all dimensions of existence."
Xu Zhangqing had long since refined Kong Fang.
Originally thought, he would not be struck by the Tenfold Great Calamity.
After all, so many years had passed, and there had never been any problem at all.
Unexpectedly, not only did the Tenfold Great Calamity arrive, it even pursued him into the Great Dao Cage.
"Good that you've come!"
However, Xu Zhangqing smiled.
The Tenfold Great Calamity was the Heavenly Dao's strongest killing move, and the Great Dao Cage was a prison that trapped ten thousand immortals.
Thunder Light and Purple Mist tore at each other, and the entire cage let out a deathly, pained groan under the rending of the two powers.
But what Xu Zhangqing waited for was precisely this moment.
When the Tenfold Great Calamity and the Hongmeng Purple Qi were twisted together, an extremely narrow and extremely short spatial gap was torn open.
He hesitated not at all, decisively activating the power of the beginning, and his whole person dove into it.
……
……
When he emerged again, all around was pitch black.
No stars, no light.
Not even Spiritual Energy existed; the whole world was like a pool of stagnant water.
"This……"
Xu Zhangqing was struck with sudden doubt and hastily released his Divine Sense, sweeping it in all directions.
The result he obtained was astonishing.
The Floating World Four Domains were gone.
The Endless Star Domain was gone.
The Zhutian Wan Jie were as if covered by a black cloth; nothing could be found.
Even, Xu Zhangqing felt various chaotic Law Powers.
Time, space, order—all became exceptionally twisted, even extremely mad.
They were like a group of dead souls, or a group of bone-eating maggots; the moment they sensed Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense, they chased after him, wishing to swallow him alive and flay him.
Fortunately, the Yuan Shi Foundation could let Xu Zhangqing avoid all danger.
Any attack, as long as a move was made, would return to the instant before it occurred.
Xu Zhangqing drifted alone in the endless darkness, searching for a very, very long time.
Until, within the twisted, chaotic source, he saw a glimmer of light.
That light was like a candle flame that could be extinguished by the wind at any moment.
Flickering, exceptionally fragile.
Xu Zhangqing instinctively flew toward it, flying faster and faster.
When he was close enough, he discovered that it was actually the Tianyuan Realm!
Outside the Tianyuan Realm, Zhen Yuanzi stood suspended in the air.
Behind him were the twisted Great Dao Venerable, the Myriad Worlds True Lord, the Spirit Insect Mother Emperor, and the Void-Clinging Monarch.
Not only that, vaguely there were also some unknown things peeking at this place.
Xu Zhangqing stopped his footsteps, separated by the last glimmer of light, gazing at them from afar.
Zhen Yuanzi was first stunned, then became excited: "Junior Brother Xu, you're still alive!"
Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "Eldest Senior Brother, you're actually still alive too."
Zhen Yuanzi was especially happy; he immediately flew over, sizing up Xu Zhangqing who had been missing for a long time while explaining: "I hid in the future, and thus avoided the death calamity."
"I see!"
Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood, then helplessly said: "I was sent into the Great Dao Cage by the Great Dao Venerable, and was locked inside for thirty thousand years before coming out."
"As long as you're alive."
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand indifferently, then suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know who I met in the future?"
Xu Zhangqing subconsciously countered: "Who?"
Zhen Yuanzi blurted out: "You!"
Xu Zhangqing decisively shook his head: "That's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible."
Zhen Yuanzi chuckled: "In the future you are called Xun Boshi, and invented a Learning System called 'Super Brain'."
It can use one's own knowledge and views to improve learning efficiency.
It was precisely because of it that I was able to cultivate the Big Dipper Returning Origin Scripture to perfection, even break through to the Tenth Realm, and ultimately twist the Great Dao Venerable's Authority.
Xu Zhangqing let out an "ah," and his whole person was dumbfounded.
He was not dumbfounded by "Super Brain," but by his identity.
In the past, he was Shen Nong.
Now, he was Ling Nong.
In the future, he was actually... a code farmer?
Good fellow, always "farming the land," right!
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi added: "Your future self asked me to bring the system back."
But during time travel, an accident occurred.
The system and I were separated, and I don't know where it fell.
Otherwise, it would surely help you bring the Creation Heavenly Scripture to perfection, and even, like me, innovate and reach an unprecedented new realm.
Xu Zhangqing heard this, and his expression turned slightly strange.
Actually, the system hadn't been lost; it had arrived several tens of thousands of years early.
He had already bound it when he was merely an Outer Disciple of the Dongting Immortal Sect!
