A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 642 "Ordination Ceremony" Perfected

Seeing that Emperor Changhe looked somewhat disheveled, flustered, and hurried as he took his leave, Xiong Mo shrugged.

He knew that the River Emperor, a subordinate deity, was probably somewhat uncomfortable watching his own pantheon's main god devour the Dao Fruit at the end of the Dark Path.

But He has been meditating in the Central Divine Realm for so long, and the strangeness of the Heavenly Boat Emperor becoming His tool is not concealed. This supreme deity, who has long been subordinate to the "Central Yellow Emperor," should have some understanding of His indescribable true nature.

Perhaps it is because He has spent these years in seclusion in the Xuanpu Mountains, without moving around the world or appearing before people, that not many beings understand His true nature.
Xiong Mo tossed the black fruit in his hand, took a few more bites of the sweet flesh, and used the "Other Self" method derived from the mystery of "Other Self" to enlighten the dark divine soul emerging from his body. He then used "Slaying the Path to See Me" to annihilate the strange and ominous forces that swarmed in, and once again seized some of the insights that the Dark Path had gained about the underlying rules and logic of this era.

Then, His gaze gradually drifted away, and He looked at the information displayed on the panel.

[Analysis of the Ordination Method (Branch of the System - Tianzhou) - Beginning.]

[Divine Talisman: Second Rank - Emperor - Vast Universe (Half-Step Immortal Emperor)]

[Divine Talisman: Rank 3 - Emperor - Universe Soarer (Supreme Dao Ancestor)]

[Divine Talisman: Rank 4 - Star Lord - Universe·Substance (Immortal King Giant ~ Emperor Light Immortal King)]

[Divine Talisman: Rank 5 - Star Lord - Universe Illusion (Ordinary Immortal King to Supreme Immortal King)]

[Divine Talisman: Rank 6 - Earth Deity - Star (Immortal True Immortal ~ Quasi-Immortal King)]

[Divine Talisman: Rank 7 - Earthly Deity - Star (Quasi-Emperor Level 1 ~ Three-Generation Emperor)]

[Reconstruction of legal characteristics, beginning.]

[Power splitting, beginning.]

Wisps of flowing "Tao" and "Dharma" converged within the [Gray Mist Space], jointly forming a half-step Dao Fruit that signifies the ultimate end of the path, pointing very clearly to the final destination of cultivation at a certain cliff of the Dao.

Within the vast star cluster, the symbol of this supreme Dao fruit, the "ship," and the cultivation path that the celestial vessel travels on, along with the universal talismans, are condensed by translucent starlight, breaking down into countless subtle Dao patterns. These patterns transform into handfuls of stardust with mysterious, wandering trajectories, gradually harmonizing with the rhythm of heaven and earth, and coexisting with the Dao.

When everything returns to its origin, the heavy "yellow" of "Central Earth Element," which carries the four elements of heaven and earth and embodies the virtue of bearing all things, floats in the world, hovers at Xiong Mo's fingertips, and shimmers with a faint light.

"The ever-flowing rivers and the surging seas are all supported by the earth, which can be seen as the transformation and utilization of the power of 'earth element'. The 'stars' hanging high in the sky and the myriad constellations arranged in order are also the aggregation of 'earth element', reflecting the vastness and boundlessness of 'earth element'."

"Therefore, the ordination methods I have deduced are all based on the 'Earth Element' rules and logic of this era. 'Earth Deities' and 'Star Lords' are essentially based on the 'Central Earth Element,' which are the cultivation realms derived from it."

"After Tianzhou integrated its own cultivation system into the 'Ordination Method' and became a new branch of this cultivation system, the branch representing 'ship' separated from the Supreme Dao Ancestor's realm and was born into the world."

Xiong Mo gently flicked the light at his fingertips, which sublimated into a vast Dao Tree with forty-eight branches.

Gears, picture frames, crystals, clocks, drawing paper, saplings, needles and thread, martial arts shadows, and forty-eight other "Tao" and "methods" shimmer on it, making the entire "Ordination Method" system of Tao tree appear incredibly vast, prosperous, lush, and full of vitality.

However, the canopy of the tree seemed to have been cut off, making it difficult to establish a foothold at the precipice of the Dao. The root system also struggled to penetrate the realm of humanity, unable to firmly take root in the mortal world and gather the lower-level cultivators.

Simply by seeing the complete form of this system of Dao trees, a subtle feeling of imperfection will well up in one's heart.

The reason for this feeling is that the bottom layer of the "ordination method" system does not cover ordinary beings without any cultivation, and at the highest point, there is no figure standing on the precipice of the Dao, at the end of the path of cultivation, radiating light, acting as a beacon to guide those who climb the path of cultivation.

"Among them, the 47 branches of the system have played a negligible role in perfecting the system. Only the 'ship' branch of the Heavenly Ark, which has now reached the realm of the End of the Road, has become somewhat effective. However, with the addition of another Supreme Being of the End of the Road's understanding of the 'Dao' and 'Law' of this era, it should be able to be further improved."

Xiong Mo stuffed the black fruit, which he had only nibbled on, back into the grotesque stone statue, which was about ten meters tall. He then extracted purified and further filtered information from his body, which flowed from his fingertips. He lightly pointed at the roots of the manifested Dao tree of the "Ordination Method" system, weaving together various different and intricate Dao patterns bit by bit, which evolved into layers of three-dimensional runes.

[Systemic Chaos - Human Ranks (Sacred Path) - Extended Constraints, Beginning.]

The Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, existing in an infinitely illusory future; the Returning to One Dao Fruit, suppressed by the eerie progenitor; the Profound Yellow Dao Fruit, returning from eternal silence; and the Ultimate Dao Fruit, existing in the [Gray Mist Space], all four exert their power together, forcibly anchoring a large, tangled mass of "Dao" and "Fa" that is difficult to unravel and almost devoid of rules and logic, onto the "Central Earth Element."

In an instant, all the incomprehensible principles, all the indistinguishable and unusable methods of cultivation in the human realm, subtly changed, triggering changes in the underlying rules and logic of the boundless chaotic ocean, accelerating the already increasingly orderly countless principles.

If the probabilistic era is a landscape painting with mixed ink tones, obscuring its original outlines and revealing its underlying emotions, then now a thick, dark yellow has become the most basic outline, converging the most fundamental concepts and providing the foundation for countless extensions of artistic conception.

This is to transmit the principles of Heaven and Earth, and to summon the Jade Emperor.

This is what separates the primordial chaos of Yin and Yang; it is called Lingbao.

[The Ordination Cultivation System - Human Ranks (Saintly Path) - Successful Constraint]

[System: Ordination Method]

Rank: Eighth Grade - Mortal World
Description: Establishing the Way and writing books, widely disseminating them throughout heaven and earth, using talismans to gather the desires of mortals, and establishing them in the position of worldly saints.

Xiong Mo's expression turned solemn. The three-dimensional runes he was engraving in his hands never stopped. The four Dao Fruits were adding to his power, making it even more profound. The boundless power he unleashed was already approaching the limit of his current realm. One could vaguely see the special boundary that symbolized "awaiting sublimation" and that his cultivation system had been expanded to "perfect and flawless".

A series of clear, melodious chants rose up, and boundless "Tao" and "Dharma" echoed in His ears, complex, chaotic, and disordered, constantly interfering with His thoughts, severing His judgment, and hindering His actions.

Every bit of his vow echoes from the past and the future to the present. Countless ordinary people who are not skilled in cultivation, and countless human beings who practice the "ordination method," their thoughts, ideas, prayers, hatred, worries, and regrets all transform into terrifying waves, trying to defile His true spirit and overthrow His current status as a second-rank emperor.

Xiong Mo smiled slightly. "If it weren't for my own relatively advanced cultivation in the End of the Path Realm, coupled with the power of four Dao Fruits, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the backlash of rules and logic that would make even ordinary beings at the End of the Path Realm shudder, relying solely on the Supreme Dao Ancestor level of the 'Ordination Method'." "No wonder that Dark End of the Path was surprised by the source of my power."

"Aside from beings born at the end of the path who exist only in theory, in the current era, without the help of the power of dark matter to perfect the human realm of the cultivation system, the pressure they would have to bear would be unbearable even for a normal half-step supreme being, even if they had reached the ultimate sublimation and were temporarily standing at the end of the path."

"Without perfecting the system in the realm of humanity, it is virtually impossible to gain a foothold in the realm of the end of the road, to obtain the perfect Dao fruit of the end of the road, and to achieve the highest level of the end of the road."

"Ha, this probability era is really interesting."

As His fingers inscribed the final three-dimensional rune on the roots of the Dao Tree, a special aura was immediately drawn from the roots, flowing through the trunk and finally extending to every branch and every thick green leaf.

[The Ordination Cultivation System - Human Rank (Mortal) - Successful Constraint]

[System: Ordination Method]

Rank: Ninth Grade - Mortal World
Description: Having thoroughly studied authentic scriptures and Taoist texts, comprehended the principles of heaven and earth and nature, built a spiritual platform, drawn the talisman of one's own being, and inscribed the registers of all laws.

As the information on the panel danced in Xiong Mo's eyes, the Heavenly Law Network of the Central Divine Realm also spontaneously improved downwards due to the perfection of the "Ordination Law" in the human realm, no longer limited to those immortal laws hanging high in the sky.

When the immense changes spread to the previously chaotic human realm, the [Divine Talisman: Rank 8 - Mortal - Passed Down] and [Divine Talisman: Rank 9 - Mortal - Drawing Talisman] were imprinted into the minds of countless cultivators, bringing together the disorganized human cultivation under the "Central Earth Element." A clear path for orderly cultivation, starting from the mortal realm, appeared in the Central Divine Realm.

At the summit of the mortal mountain range, an elderly cultivator suddenly burst into tears, bowing deeply in gratitude. "Your Majesty the Yellow Emperor is so virtuous. You have perfected the 'Ordination Method' for cultivation in the human realm, giving your disciple a law to follow and a path to walk, so that you may have a glimpse into the mysteries of heaven and earth."

Suddenly, the accumulated merits and human vows he had gathered quietly, and according to his understanding of heaven and earth and all things, he built a spiritual platform and inscribed a phantom talisman symbolizing his "true self". It contained all his understanding of heaven and earth from birth to the present day, and flowed with a radiant light of the human holy path, elevating his level of life.

At this very moment, in the vast Central Divine Realm, countless spiritual lights, like sparks, ignited and spread, unleashing a mighty power that even the supreme deities had to take seriously.

In an instant, the speed at which the Heavenly Law Network was perfected increased dramatically. Every minute, every second, every instant filled the gaps in billions of human laws, making the evolution of the entire Great Realm more stable. It even caused the wavering probability of "existence" to begin to move away from the side of "self-dissipation".

Inside the Mechanical Temple.

Emperor Zhonghao watched in astonishment as his own "Ordination Method" cultivation system was rapidly perfected and its human realm was brought to "complete".

He sat up straight, stretched out his thick fingers, and gently manipulated the Heaven and Earth Law Net, muttering to himself, "Changhe said that the 'Central Yellow Emperor' imprisoned that strange and ominous figure within the inner perimeter of Xuanpu Divine Mountain, digesting this indescribable Dao Fruit of the End of the Path. His ultimate goal was to perfect the cultivation methods in the human realm?"

Zhong Hao closed his eyes slightly, and said with a hint of emotion, "I can feel my combat power increasing. The foundation that I thought was 'perfect' has been filled with some gaps that I hadn't noticed before."

At the moment of completing his humanistic cultivation, he sensed a special rhythm and fell into a subtle state of enlightenment.

The supreme Dao fruit belonging to the "Ordination Method" was rapidly perfecting, taking a big step towards the precipice of the Dao. The information and insights belonging to his branch of the "Ordination Method" slowly flowed through his heart, filled his mind, and lingered in his soul.

[Divine Talisman: Rank Two - Emperor - Mechanical Spirit]
Meanwhile, the other supreme Dao fruit of faith in the ancient gods was indirectly completed due to the perfection of the "ordination method" in the human realm. With the most fundamental foundation laid, boundless faith and enlightenment were born from nothingness, rapidly perfecting the difficulties that were previously intractable.

At a certain moment, Zhong Hao opened his eyes, and two vast and supreme powers intertwined, forming a yin-yang symbol, promoting and sublimating each other, raising the level of his true spirit once again, and taking more than half a step towards the cliff of the Dao!

The fog that had bound him in the past, the shackles that had imprisoned him, have all been broken!

The road ahead is wide open, and the clouds and fog have dispersed!

"boom!"

In an instant, he heard the vibrations and roars of the mechanical spirit of all worlds, he realized the coupling and independence of matter in all worlds, and he saw the final fusion of mechanical rules and mechanical logic.
Looking up, there was no road ahead!
Looking back, the gears turn, the mechanical spirits chant, and those who come after will never cease!

Feeling the immense power within him that seemed capable of easily crushing the Central Divine Realm and being "omniscient and omnipotent," Zhong Hao was stunned.

As soon as the thought arose, everything in the Central Divine Realm—all things, all objects, all laws, and all paths—came into view, with almost no concealment. It was as natural as viewing a landscape painting or reading a story still being written.

Only the Xuanpu Divine Mountain, where everything is shrouded in a thick "Central Earth Element," is hazy and indistinct, impossible to discern.

Suddenly, a wave of weariness swept over him, turning into a rein that slowly pulled him back, causing his near-omniscient state to gradually regress.

Zhong Hao knew in his heart that the time had come.

He has only stepped one foot into the precipice of the Dao, and his supreme method is not yet completely perfected, but he can permanently stabilize his cultivation in this state.

Zhong Hao felt no reluctance, because he knew that as long as he ascended to this realm once, and continued to cultivate in the future, his own cultivation method would eventually be perfected and completely stabilized in this realm.

For some reason, his spirituality, which had temporarily sublimated to the highest level of the road, was touched. In the instant before he completely retreated to the supreme realm, he looked at the Xuanpu Divine Mountain again, following the throbbing in his heart.

The "Central Earth Element" that had been shrouding the area seemed to gather together, transforming into an imperial figure riding on bright yellow auspicious clouds, holding a Dao Fruit that exuded the aura of the "Central Earth Element," looking towards its own location, and slowly nodding.

[Supreme Central Primordial Elder, Yellow Emperor]
Emperor Zhonghao silently recited the name of the deity that had manifested in his consciousness, his face showing shock.

The "Ordination Method" cultivation system has reached its highest level and is now completely perfected.
