Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Chapter 571: Closed loop? Whose closed loop is it? Gu Huojin and Chen Tuan!

(Some changes have been made to the last chapter.)
"There are three great tribulations in the Law of Proving the Dao: Heaven, Earth, and Man. According to the inheritance I received, I know that these three levels are extremely dangerous. Now, with the help of my past life memories to verify the inheritance, I finally have a preliminary understanding of these three great tribulations!"

"From the result, we can infer the cause. Although some of my inferences about the reasons why various disasters will eventually converge in the future 'War of the Transcendents' in this universe may not be the most true facts, the value of this information is still immeasurable!"

“Even if I don’t have the determination to achieve transcendence with the five supreme laws in the future, if I want to achieve half a step of transcendence in this universe with the innate laws of yin and yang, the power of the calamity will be much smaller, but it will still allow me to be prepared.”

Thinking of this, Lu Tian couldn't help but secretly admire Gu Huojin. He and his predecessor, the Ancient Dao God, perfected the Three Thousand Dao God Formation and finally reversed the situation. They were almost able to transcend. They were indeed top figures rarely seen in billions of years.

Of course, this is probably also the result of the hard work of the supreme rulers of heaven throughout the ages and countless Taoist ancestors who wanted to escape the erosion of the way of heaven.

"Not to mention the supreme inheritance I received from the Stone Bead World, just the various conclusions I have verified now and the key information about what will happen in the future are enough for me to trade countless cultivation resources with Gu Huojin."

"The opportunity for this universe to transcend is contained in the most important treasure of this universe, the Heaven-Handing Bottle. It is the source of the laws of chaos that was born and existed before the heaven and earth. The only people who know about it now are the incarnation of Heaven, the 'Bottle Spirit' and me!"

"Although the Bottle Spirit is a trace of spiritual wisdom born from the Heavenly Dao, its ultimate goal is to transcend this universe. Although it has practiced alone for tens of millions of years, judging from the results, it has not yet comprehended the Law of Chaos. It still relies on its own authority of the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, and its strength is not strong. As long as I can comprehend the Innate Yin and Yang Laws, perhaps it will not be difficult to capture it in the future?"

“As long as the Stone Bead World can refine it, there is no doubt that it will gain amazing rewards!”

"The only problem is that after I refine it, perhaps this world will become hostile to me. If the will of heaven still has other hidden spiritual consciousness or other backup plans, I will definitely be in some unknown danger."

"There is no rush for this matter. There is still enough time for me to prepare other backup plans."

"The other thing is the Chaos Origin in the Heaven-Holding Bottle, which is the most important avenue in this universe. However, even if I have seized the Heaven-Holding Bottle, I still can't do anything about this source of chaos!"

Thinking of the origin of the chaotic laws in the Palm of Heaven Bottle, even Lu Tian knew that in the future he would be able to achieve transcendence with the help of the Stone Bead World and the World Proof Method, but his heart still could not ignore the temptation brought by this unique opportunity.

What made him undecided was not only that he had no way to deal with the laws of the origin of chaos (the Stone Furnace of Creation could not transform things of the innate great way, nor could it generate things of the innate great way), but also that there was a problem with his own background. He was not a native of this world. No one knew whether the soul of the alien would encounter an accident in the future when it merged with this chaos origin and used it to comprehend the laws of chaos.

Of course, he was lucky enough to merge in the end. He was not the 'Ping Ling', the incarnation of the will of heaven in this world. He was one of the ordinary people. He would still have to face the three great catastrophes of heaven, earth and man.

How to survive this kind of calamity was really far away from him and also very dangerous.

However, even though it was extremely dangerous, now that he knew that Gu Huojin and Samsara Han Li already knew of his existence, he naturally had to make some preparations.

"The rules of operation of the heavenly way in this world are based on the five elements' origin law, and the three supreme laws of time, space, and reincarnation are the pillars. The other more than 2,000 laws are all derived from these eight 'fundamental' laws..."

“Whether it was Han Li back then or Han Li who later ascended to the Immortal Realm, they could travel through time and space at any time with the help of the Heavenly Palm Bottle. In fact, it was the Chaos Origin Law within the bottle driven by the bottle spirit that was at work. This is because only the Chaos Law can ignore everything within the Heavenly Dao rules and act arbitrarily.”

“As for activating the Chaos Origin Law in the Heaven-Handling Bottle, it would indeed be much easier with the help of the bottle spirit who understands the three thousand laws of heaven. But according to my guess, as long as the Five Elements Origin Law and the Three Supreme Laws are cultivated to perfection, and the power of the eight origin laws are used together, perhaps a trace of Chaos Origin Law can be mobilized.”

“There are many Dao Ancestors who practice these eight kinds of power. Perhaps the power of the law of an ordinary Dao Ancestor is not enough. The power of the law of the original Dao Ancestor is needed.”

"There is only one original Daozu for each law. Other Daozu who practice this kind of law are lower Daozu of this law line. The battle of 'the seat of law' is no small matter. As for the subsequent 'Daotian catastrophe', it seems that it is not difficult as long as the strength is strong enough. Although these are a bit far away from me, I still have to prepare for it. Maybe in the future I can train the Dao companions around me to work hard on these eight laws!"

Thinking of the scene in the original plot where Gu Huojin was deserted by his friends and fought against the heroes alone in the face of the catastrophe, Lu Tian was naturally very alert. Because of the existence of the furnace shadow in the sea of ​​consciousness, he was not afraid of his own people rebelling before the battle.

When Lu Tiandu thought of this, he suddenly remembered the idea of ​​a closed loop universe for mortals that had been circulating on the forum in his previous life.

As for this statement, Lu Tian could only say that it was just hearsay and had no basis in fact.

The basis for this statement is that after the last battle, the Palm of Heaven Bottle was shattered, and the bottle spirit was no longer bound. In order to repay Han Li, the bottle spirit gave Han Li one last chance to travel through time and space.

In fact, from the fact that he disappeared when the Palm of Heaven Bottle shattered, allowing Han Li to travel through time and space again, we can know who stole the origin of chaos in the Palm of Heaven Bottle.

After all, the only thing that can truly travel through time and space in this universe is the Heaven-Piercing Bottle, or the original power of the law of chaos within the Heaven-Piercing Bottle.

No other acquired law can achieve the ability to travel through time and space.

At that time, Han Li, who had reached the peak of Daluo cultivation, took advantage of his last opportunity to travel through time and space to go back to the past and do three things: First, he helped Yuan Yao survive the ascension calamity when she was about to fail.

Secondly, he gave Li Feiyu an opportunity. Later, Li Feiyu was reincarnated as Li Feiyu, who possessed spiritual roots and relied on this opportunity to finally ascend to the fairyland.

Third, seeing the mortal himself in the Shenshou Valley, he kicked the Palm of Heaven Bottle, which the mortal himself had not yet discovered, under his feet.

After doing these three things, Han Li returned to the normal timeline. Without the help of the bottle spirit and the Heaven-Handing Bottle, he would never have the chance to travel through time and space again.

In this case, how can Han Li, who has even given up the Daozu Law, form a time closed loop?

Just the kick that hit the Tianping?

In this timeline, Daluo Han Li did not kick the bottle. The Lord of the Samsara Hall had been watching over his other self due to their fate connection and had been guarding him after he was born. It was no surprise that Han Li would get the Heavenly Bottle.

This kick is actually no different from a prank because it doesn't change the future at all.

What is a time loop?
The time loop is a supreme being that has mastered the laws of the innate great way. It is both beyond all timelines of the universe and exists in any timeline. It can play with the timeline at any time, and no one can change even a trace of its existence.

If Han Li, who had the cultivation level of Daluo, could close the timeline loop with just one time travel, then Han Li, who had traveled through time and space many times before, would have closed the loop long ago, and he would not have been almost overturned by Gu Huojin at the last moment of the battle.

If Han Li, who had the cultivation level of Daluo, could close the time loop, all the Dao Ancestors who were stronger than him before Han Li would have already done so.

There is another saying that Han Li kicked the Palm of Heaven Bottle to his original self as the Han Li of Time.

No one knows when and where Han Li got the Heaven-Holding Bottle, but even if Han Li got the Heaven-Holding Bottle in advance, as long as Han Li did not discover the ultimate secret of the Heaven-Holding Bottle (the key is the bottle spirit) and comprehend the law of chaos, he would not be able to form a time retreat. In addition, in this timeline, the Heaven-Holding Bottle, a transcendent object that can change the timeline, has been broken. No matter how the past timeline is changed, the source of chaos inside the Heaven-Holding Bottle has been taken away by the bottle spirit, and the only chance of transcendence has been obtained by the bottle spirit. It can be said that the Heaven-Holding Bottle in this universe has no meaning to exist.

Even if you change the past eight or ten times, it will not help.

After all, the only one who can close the loop is the bottle spirit who travels in the chaotic space and perfects the law of chaos in the future, not Han Li.

And since the bottle spirit did not break the natural laws of this world, nor use the law of chaos to help this world advance, even if this world recovered from the turmoil after the war, no one would ever be able to transcend again.

It can be said that whether it was the Time Han Li or the final Daluo Han Li, they both ultimately missed the real opportunity to transcend, and the future of this world was doomed to fail.

So, what exactly does Han Li use to close the loop?
As long as the timeline the timer travels through is before Han Li was born, the Palm of Heaven Bottle can still be fought for without any hidden danger, and the opportunity to comprehend the Law of Chaos and gain ultimate transcendence is in one's hands.

"Now that everything is settled in my mind, it's time to go out and meet Linglong and the others!"

At this moment, Lu Tiandu had digested everything that this change had brought to him. Lu Tiandu smiled, threw down the golden page in his hand, and his figure flashed out of the stone bead world.

Real fairyland.

A mysterious and different dimension, hazy, with countless mysterious golden and white air currents flowing endlessly, and in the center of a mysterious magic circle, two figures with unclear faces can be vaguely seen.

At this moment, the Bagua plate in the hand of a figure sitting cross-legged suddenly lit up. With a casual tap of his finger, an inch-tall figure strangely emerged on the Bagua plate, vaguely appearing as if it would disappear at any time.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, his destiny has appeared again!”

At this time, the figure sitting cross-legged slowly uttered an old voice.

Opposite it, a man in a wheelchair can be vaguely seen.

Although this figure is blurry and seems to be enveloped by the power of countless laws and is constantly changing, there seems to be a dreamy golden light flashing in the position of its eyes. It is extremely eye-catching and makes it impossible to look closely, as if it has transcended some law of heaven and earth.

"For more than nine hundred years, countless times, every time this being suddenly disappeared from heaven and earth, his fate in this world also disappeared without a trace. It's really strange!"

The Supreme Being of Heaven, Gu Huojin, who was sitting on a wheelchair, spoke in a deep voice, as if he was lamenting something, "As soon as I showed up to test him this time, that trace of divine consciousness was consumed by a mysterious force. Then it disappeared, and now it has appeared again. Perhaps it has guessed something and is ready to meet me next time!"

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

Chen Tuan, the prophet and one of the Seven Lords of Heaven, seemed to have a hint of anticipation in his tone, "For countless epochs, this world seems to have remained unchanged, like a dead body of water. The appearance of this 'oddity' from another world really gave this old man a little surprise!"

"This is all thanks to your prophetic power. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to communicate with him in the near future!"

Speaking of this, Gu Huojin recalled a hexagram that Chen Tuan had divined before.

When he was comprehending the Three Thousand Dao God Array, he entered a certain state of emptiness and meditation. After he accidentally discovered Lu Tiandu, an anomaly that descended from the chaotic space, he sensed some subtle changes in this world.

After discovering the various abnormalities of Lu Tiandu and the existence of the Palm of Heaven Bottle, after a little thought, he told the prophet Chen Tuan this astonishing news.

In the face of another mysterious opponent, he needs to rely on Chen Tuan's power to better start certain arrangements, and also needs to rely on Chen Tuan's power to deal with sudden changes at any time.

And this time, he suddenly came out from the secret observation and appeared in the light, because Chen Tuan discovered something unusual during a calculation.

This hexagram indicated that if he could not deepen the causal connection with Lu Tian in a short period of time and leave an anchor point, it would be extremely difficult for him to secretly observe this "alien visitor" after a certain period of time.

Although he didn't understand why he, the number one immortal who had mastered the law of time to the extreme and suppressed the immortal world, couldn't observe a small low-level cultivator, but since this person was an "oddity", he must have some exotic methods that he didn't understand.

Therefore, prompted by this hexagram, Gu Huojin did not hesitate to activate the backup plan that he had arranged for Ao Xiao in the past, which led to Ao Xiao's shadow guard Liao Ying heading to Xuanzhen Palace.

It was also because of this that Lu Tiandu and Linglong visited Ao Xiao in advance, and he achieved his attempt to use Ao Xiao's hand and a trace of divine power to point out Lu Tiandu as an anomaly.

Although they were not able to communicate directly, after planting the anchor point, as long as Lu Tian did not disappear completely, the next meeting between the two sides would not be far away.

So, when Lu Tiandu's fate appeared again after a short period of time, Gu Huojin knew that their real meeting was not far away.

As for why he didn't contact Lu Tiandu directly, this was also related to a divination performed by Chen Tuan, and this divination was even more exhausting for Chen Tuan.

The result of divination showed that if the two had direct contact or communication, unpredictable and sinister changes would inevitably occur. That was why, even though he and Lu Tian had already had several causal entanglements in secret, he did not dare to underestimate it.

"You are welcome, my friend. It is a great fortune for me to be able to participate in this matter."

Chen Tuan shook his head. "But, does this anomaly really have what we need?"

"Anomaly? What is an anomaly? It is something that should not exist but exists and has some strange features. This is an anomaly. When this anomaly grows up, it will become the biggest variable. Isn't change what we need? What's more, we have discovered not only this anomaly, but also another variable!"

"Two rapidly growing variables and the Heaven-Holding Bottle, the first Xuantian treasure in the world, have gathered in this small human world at the same time. Under such circumstances, some of my preparations have also made great progress. What do you think, is this a sign of a dramatic change in the world?"

"As Dao ancestors, we have spent our lives comprehending the three thousand great ways, but with three thousand great ways, can we achieve transcendence?"

"Others don't know the suffocating and helpless feeling of the heaven's law pressing down on them, so how can we not know it?"

"This world is too rigid. I'm looking forward to some changes!" (End of this chapter)
