Chapter 545

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat cross-legged in his dojo room, his gaze carrying a smile.

He had also sensed that Tongtian had successfully forged a Chaos Supreme Treasure, but Hongjun did not have many thoughts regarding this.

Why Tongtian was able to reach this current level,

Hongjun was perfectly clear about that.

It was all because of the existence of the Senior.

"Since Tongtian has already achieved such growth, as his teacher, I cannot fall too far behind." Hongjun stood up, the immortal energy on his body permeating the air.

Regarding breaking away from the Heavenly Dao, he, Hongjun, was also nearly prepared.

Now was the time to carry out the plan to break away from the Heavenly Dao.

Only by truly breaking away from the Heavenly Dao could he, Hongjun, use exchange points to trade for supreme treasures from the Senior that would be useful to him.

Otherwise, in his state after merging with the Dao, wanting to improve his strength would impose great limitations on himself.

This point.

As Hongjun continued to cultivate, he could still feel it tangibly.

Merging with the Dao had become a shackle binding him.

Breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and personally proving the Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian Dao—that was Hongjun's goal.

Currently, whether it was his own state or his research into the treasures and methods he had obtained from the Senior, the time was nearly ripe.

"Off I go..."

Hongjun let out a loud laugh, took a step in Zixiao Palace, and instantly vanished from his dojo.

Above the Extreme Heaven, Hongjun's figure slowly appeared.

This was the junction between the Primordial World and the Chaos World.

Here, the power of Chaos and the negative energy of the Primordial World were intertwined.

Generally speaking, even Quasi-Saint powerhouses would not easily enter the Extreme Heaven, as it was slightly dangerous for them.

Yet Hongjun chose this place.

On one hand, it was because the state of breaking away from merging with the Dao could only be carried out within the Primordial World.

Otherwise, if Hongjun chose to do it within Chaos, he would not be able to completely break away from the Heavenly Dao, which was not the result he wanted.

The second aspect was that above the Extreme Heaven, even if there were an eruption of Heavenly Dao-level power,

the damage to the Primordial World would not be very great.

Otherwise, if he had chosen the Thirty-Three Heavens or the secular world,

the impact caused by him, Hongjun, breaking away from the Heavenly Dao would be unimaginably terrifying.

There was no telling how many living beings would die under this impact.

That was why Hongjun chose to be in the Extreme Heaven.

The damage to living beings would be minimal, and he could properly carry out the process of breaking away from the Heavenly Dao.

This point was similar to the approach taken by Sect Leader Tongtian back then, when he self-severed his true spirit, broke away from the Heavenly Dao, and proved the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Dao.

It was just that now, for Hongjun to break away from the state of merging with the Dao, the reaction caused in heaven and earth would be even more terrifying; this was a matter of course.

"It is time to proceed with breaking away from the state of merging with the Dao." Appearing above the Extreme Heaven, Hongjun wore a faint smile.

In the past, merging with the Dao was his lifelong goal.

For the sake of this goal, he won the victory between the Dao and the Demons, and even preached to the living beings of the Primordial World, thereby obtaining Heavenly Dao merit to allow him to merge with the Dao more easily.

Just like that, Hongjun eventually succeeded in merging with the Dao, fulfilled his goal, and became a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

But as a Heavenly Dao powerhouse who took such a shortcut, Hongjun did not know how far he could actually go.

Would he eventually devour the Heavenly Dao and break away from it, or would he be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao and become a part of it?

On this point, Hongjun was also unsure of what would happen.

Later, after discovering the grocery store and that Senior, Hongjun developed a different kind of determination in his heart.

With such a great opportunity before him, if he were to still continue merging with the Dao, then he, Hongjun, would truly be a fool.

Therefore, breaking away from the state of merging with the Dao and independently proving the Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian Dao was Hongjun's goal.

Standing above the Extreme Heaven, Hongjun flipped his palm, and a token flickering with various Great Dao runes appeared in his hand.

This was precisely the Heavenly Dao Edict that Hongjun had exchanged from the grocery store.

The Heavenly Dao Edict, as the name implied, was for breaking away from the state of the Heavenly Dao.

On this point, it had the same effect as the Investiture of the Gods Edict from back then.

It was just that compared to the Investiture of the Gods Edict, the exchange points required for the Heavenly Dao Edict were countless times higher.

Moreover, under such circumstances, it would inevitably provoke the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

One had to know.

If it weren't for the existence of the grocery store, Bixiao and the others, who broke away relying on the Investiture of the Gods Edict, would likely have been drowned under the Heavenly Dao's Lei Jie.

But the existence of the grocery store allowed Bixiao and the others to smoothly and easily survive the impact caused by using the Investiture of the Gods Edict.

Now that Hongjun stood in the Extreme Heaven, he had to rely on himself.

Whether it was the Chaos Immortal Scripture or the Heart of the Heavenly Dao, they were all prepared for this.

Especially the Heart of the Heavenly Dao; this was the key for Hongjun to survive the Heavenly Dao Lei Jie.

One had to know that Hongjun's Heart of the Heavenly Dao had cost over a million exchange points.

"Heavenly Dao Edict..."

The Heavenly Dao power on Hongjun's body fell onto the Heavenly Dao Edict, and one could see the Heavenly Dao Edict transform into a beam of light that erupted and shot into the void.

It was as if it had entered some mysterious realm.

That was where the core of the Heavenly Dao was located.

After merging with the Dao, Hongjun's true spirit was also there, so the Heavenly Dao Edict had to first bring back Hongjun's true spirit.
