Chapter 666: The Path Ahead Is Clear

Seeing the thriving Zhutian Dao, Ye Wuque stood atop a peak in the Great Thousand Divine Universe, overlooking the prosperous scene below, and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

The mountain gate loomed majestically, palaces stretched endlessly, spiritual energy fell like rain, and myriad rays of rosy light filled the sky.

Countless disciples traversed the mountain gate, cultivated, and discussed the Dao, each with pride and hope shining on their faces.

They were disciples of the Zhutian Dao.

They were his fellow disciples.

That was the promise he once made.

"Senior Zhutianzi…"

Ye Wuque whispered softly, his voice tinged with a hint of emotion and relief:

"Your entrustment back then, junior… has finally been fulfilled."

Back then, when Zhutianzi entrusted the Heavenly Sacred Dao to him, his aged eyes were full of expectation and reluctance.

It was his life's blood.

It was the sect he had guarded all his life.

Now—

The Heavenly Sacred Dao not only returned to the Great Thousand Divine Universe, but was also renamed "Zhutian Dao", becoming the orthodox lineage of the Great Thousand Divine Universe.

Thus, this can be considered a reckoning to the departed spirit of Senior Zhutianzi.

Returning to the Great Thousand Divine Universe is, for the entire Zhutian Dao, a step that can be called a leap to the heavens.

The Great Thousand Divine Universe is, after all, a premier sacred land of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands!

Countless resources, countless strong ones, countless opportunities—

All of them are present!

Cultivating here is more than ten times faster than in the Forbidden Starry Sky.

Those Zhutian Dao disciples, one after another, are like they've been injected with adrenaline, crazily cultivating!

They must seize this hard-won opportunity!

They will carve out their own sky in this broader world!

……

Chu Linglong, Gu Qingchen, Murong Hai and others were even more awed by the boundless vastness of the Zhutian Wanjie.

"So… this is the Zhutian Wanjie…"

Chu Linglong stood at the edge of the Great Thousand Divine Universe, gazing at the endless starry sky, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and yearning:

"Compared to the Forbidden Starry Sky, it is millions of times larger…"

Gu Qingchen likewise sighed:

"When we were in the Forbidden Starry Sky, we always thought that was the whole world."

"Only now do we realize—"

"We are merely frogs at the bottom of a well."

Murong Hai clenched his fist, his scarred face full of ambition and resolve:

"If so, then cultivate well!"

"In the future, we too shall make a name like Master Ye!"

They have an even more frantic pursuit of higher realms.

……

And Gu Qingchen and Chu Linglong—

They naturally ended up together with Fu Bo.

They began their happy life.

However—

Fu Bo did not have much time to accompany them.

He is still the War General of Ye Zhengrong, and has his own matters to attend to.

He needs to guard the Border Pass.

He needs to protect the Ye Clan.

He needs to fulfill his duties.

But whether Gu Qingchen or Chu Linglong—

They are already very satisfied.

Being able to see Huangfu Huang again is already an unexpected joy.

Let alone these days?

Being able to see him often, and occasionally stay by his side—

That is enough.

……

As for the Forbidden Starry Sky, which has re-entered the scope of the Zhutian Wanjie—

It has ushered in an unprecedented upheaval!

Especially the widespread dissemination of the truth about the Tongtian Eighteen Realms!

It is like an earthquake that shook the entire Forbidden Starry Sky!

Countless Dark Cultivators awaken as if from a dream!

Countless sects go crazy over it!

Those elder cultivators who have been stuck in a realm for countless years, already despondent—

At this moment, everyone sees hope on the road ahead!

……

Beidou Xingyu.

Beidou Dao Grand Sect.

On a quiet mountaintop.

Ba Lao sits cross‑legged, his aura swirling, in seclusion.

His talent, in fact, isn't lacking.

One could even say it's quite good.

Only—

He suffers from being unable to see the way forward.

It's basically like a headless fly, unable to break through to higher realms.

He has lingered at the Heaven-Connecting Realm First Peak for far too long.

So long that he is on the brink of despair.

So long that he thought his whole life would end here.

But now—

It's different!

The mysteries of the Tongtian Eighteen Realms are like a bright lamp, illuminating his path forward!

"So… the Heaven-Connecting Realm actually has eighteen sub‑realms…"

"One realm, one destiny… one realm, one defiance of Heaven…"

Ba Lao murmurs, and in his aged eyes flickers an unprecedented light:

"I… finally know the way to go!"

Boom—!!!

His aura suddenly surges!

The foundation accumulated over countless years, the desire suppressed for countless years—

At this moment, it erupts completely!

The bottleneck of the Heaven-Connecting Realm First Peak—

Boom, breakthrough! p

Heaven-Connecting Realm Second Realm!

……

A moment later—

From the mountaintop comes a long, exhilarated laugh!

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Ba Lao breaks through and emerges, his towering figure now looking as if he's become countless years younger!

He looks to the heavens and laughs loudly, his laughter full of exhilaration and excitement:

"Never thought! I, Ba Liming, can one day continue to break upward!"

"Tongtian Eighteen Realms! I have lingered at the First Peak for far too long!"

"Today! I finally reached the Second Realm!"

"Hahaha!"

He clenches his fist, and in his murky old eyes now shines a sharp light and ambition:

"Tongtian Eighteen Realms…"

"I must keep moving forward!"

"In the future…"

"Perhaps I, Ba Liming, might yet ascend to that great Immortal Realm!"

……

At the same time.

Elder Qi Luo, Taiyi Jianzhu and other senior strongmen are equally thrilled!

They all go into seclusion!

They break through one after another!

The entire Forbidden Starry Sky erupts with an unprecedented cultivation frenzy!

"Yes! Wonderful!"

A senior cultivator is so moved that tears stream down his old face:

"For us, it's practically no different from being reborn!"

"If we cannot see hope, cannot see higher realms—"

"That would be more painful than death!"

Another senior cultivator nods, his eyes full of yearning and desire:

"These Liuhe Bahuang, Nine Heavens Ten Lands, even Zhutian Wanjie—"

"Endless brilliance!"

"No matter what, we have to go out and see it!"
