Chapter 1069: All Plotting for the Return to Ruins

Yin Qi was shocked by the awesomeness of Yang Mei, and therefore his attitude was very polite.

Yang Mei was likewise astonished by Yin Qi's brilliant talent, even feeling a sense of inferiority, and therefore he was also very polite.

He bowed in return and smiled slightly: "Since you have invited me, Fellow Daoist, I dare not refuse."

"Please!"

"Please!"

……

The Imperial Palace.

In an Imperial Garden.

This Imperial Garden was not large, but it was planted with all kinds of flowers, competing in fragrance and beauty.

These flowers were almost all Acquired Spiritual Roots, and among them were over a dozen Innate Spiritual Roots.

If any one of them were thrown outside, it would stir up a storm of blood.

In a pavilion.

Yin Qi and Yang Mei sat opposite each other, and he poured the freshly brewed Enlightenment Tea for both of them.

Yang Mei took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Enlightenment Tea! I have drunk many teas, and among them were not a few Innate Spiritual Roots, but I still feel that the tea from my hometown is more palatable."

A simple sentence, yet it contained a wealth of information.

Yin Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "So you have been traveling in Chaos all these years, Fellow Daoist. It seems that our Primordial World is not alone; there are many worlds in Chaos."

Yang Mei nodded and said: "Yes, the Primordial World is not alone. It is just a pity that the distance between any two worlds is too vast; even for a Saint, traveling at full speed would take at least ten million years."

Yin Qi nodded in realization: "So you attained the Saint Realm through the Space Law, Fellow Daoist; no wonder you can travel between various worlds. I am quite curious about other worlds; could you tell me about what you have seen and heard along the way?"

Chaos is vast and has nurtured countless worlds.

It is only because they are separated by such vast distances that even a Saint would need ten million years to cross this long span, so there is almost no contact between them.

A distance of ten million years—and that is only the straight-line distance.

The most fatal thing about traveling through Chaos is having no direction.

A tiny deviation leads to a difference of a thousand miles.

If a Saint wanted to search for other worlds, it would take at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years.

Over such a long period, no Saint would be bored enough to go exploring.

The only explanation for Yang Mei being able to travel through countless worlds is that he can traverse the space of Chaos, and to traverse space in Chaos, one must attain the Saint Realm through the Space Law.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi felt some regret.

Because he had also comprehended the Space Law to the peak of the Rough Branch Realm, only one step away from Law Sanctification.

Law Sanctification is unique.

For any law, once someone becomes a Saint, the path for those who follow will be completely severed.

"If you wish to hear, Fellow Daoist, then I shall speak of it..."

For the next half month or so, Yang Mei recounted his travel experiences, from leaving the Primordial World to encountering the first world, then traveling through tens of thousands of worlds, and finally returning to the Primordial World.

In the world of Chaos, every world's path of development is different.

There is the Immortal Dao, the Martial Dao, the Qi Luck Dao, the Rune Path, the Faith Path, the Technology Path, the Beast Taming Path, the Array Path, and even other strange and peculiar paths of development.

Even Yin Qi had his horizons broadened by listening.

The myriad worlds of Chaos are truly magnificent.

If he can attain the Great Dao in the future, he too must travel through Chaos.

Only then did Yin Qi understand that Yang Mei was able to cultivate to the Peak Saint Realm in just a few million years not because he was exceptionally brilliant, but because he had too many fortuitous encounters.

When Yang Mei finished speaking, Yin Qi exclaimed: "The world is truly vast, and there is nothing that does not exist. It is just a pity that Chaos is too vast; unless I prove the Great Dao, I have no hope of traveling to other worlds."

Yang Mei sighed: "The Great Dao, it is longed for but unattainable. By the way, Fellow Daoist, with what law did you attain the Saint Realm?"

"The Creation Law."

Yin Qi said, concealing the Destruction Law.

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against others.

In the struggle for the Great Dao, there is no right or wrong.

Who knows if, in the future, he and Yang Mei might end up on opposite sides because of the Great Dao.

However, Law Sanctification is extremely difficult, and it is normal to specialize in one law; the fact that Yin Qi could cultivate both the Creation and Destruction laws was also because he possessed the Opening Heaven Axe.

Others do not have this opportunity.

Yang Mei nodded and said with a smile: "So it is the Creation Law. Fellow Daoist, meeting is fate; why don't we discuss the Dao?"

"I would ask for nothing better."

Yin Qi naturally agreed happily. At their level, it is not easy to find someone with whom to discuss the Dao in order to draw inferences about other things.

……

What is the Great Dao?

What is a law?

A law is the Great Dao, but the Great Dao is not a law.

The Great Dao is all things and everything, including everything and covering everything.

If one must distinguish them, it is that the Great Dao is the Dao, and the law is the technique.

Discussing the Dao means discussing the Great Dao, not the techniques.

Yin Qi and Yang Mei discussed the Dao, focusing on their understanding of the Great Dao, not their insights into comprehending a certain law.

……

Look at every single word in the content!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.

Chaos Beyond the Heavens.

Taiqing Heaven.

Laozi suddenly opened his eyes, from which two terrifying beams of sharp light shot out.

"Five hundred years, I have finally recovered."

"Di Qi!"

A cold glint flashed in Laozi's eyes.

Five hundred years ago, he had fallen in the Demon World; although he was quickly resurrected by the Heavenly Dao and had gradually recovered,

his hatred for Di Qi had grown with each passing day.

He was the head of the Three Pure Ones and the head of all Saints; since entering the world, everything had gone smoothly for him, and he had been invincible, yet he had ended up falling into the hands of Yin Qi time and time again, and was even killed in the end.

Such a profound humiliation caused even his composed temperament to collapse.

His mind was now filled with thoughts of revenge.

If he could not take revenge, his heart-knot would fester, and there would be no possibility of any progress in his cultivation in the future.

But how was he to kill Yin Qi?

A life-and-death tribulation holds great terror, but also great opportunity.

At the brink of death, he had caught a glimpse of a Heavenly Secret, learning that Yin Qi's cultivation had actually reached Law Sanctification, and was even at the Saint Peak, only a single step away from proving the Great Dao.

With such cultivation, unless Pangu were to be resurrected,

even if his teacher Hongjun were to take action, he would not be able to do anything to the opponent.

"Pangu!"

Laozi murmured softly, and suddenly, the sharp light in his eyes grew intense.

Was he not Pangu himself!

Back when Pangu fell after opening Heaven, his Primordial Spirit split into three, becoming the Three Pure Ones.

What if he were to reunite the Primordial Spirit of the Three Pure Ones!

Once the seed of ambition is planted, it will sprout wildly and then grow frantically.

Laozi's expression shifted constantly as he engaged in an intense internal struggle.

But in the end, hatred gained the upper hand.

……

Three hundred years later.

Deep within Chaos.

A small Boundary.

The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, the Demon Race, and the Wu Clan were all gathered.

Since the battle ten thousand years ago, the Quasi-Saints of these five clans had fled into the depths of Chaos, eventually coming together, and had never returned to the Primordial World.

Even Chiyou, Jiu Feng, and the others had not gone to Wuzu Heaven.

For these ten thousand years, they had been plotting a major event: searching for the Return Ruins Path.

In reality, Lu Ya of the Demon Race and Chiyou of the Wu Clan had never fallen, so naturally, they did not know that cultivators above the Great Luo go to the Return Ruins after death.

But Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, and the others had all been resurrected from the Time River.

As Top Innate divine beings from the same era as Hongjun, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, and the others, they possessed rich Inheritance memories and had long guessed that the world they had drifted into in a daze after death was the Return Ruins.

If they wanted to turn the tables, their only hope was to head to the Return Ruins and seek the opportunity for Sanctification.
